CAPTURED MRS.
"AdGY'S" CLOTHES,
GENERAL OTIS HAS AT LAST REDEEM
Ed HIMSELF.
A Strategist Without Compare A Popular
Subscription for His Heroic Achieve
ment Suggested.

There has been much criticism OF
General Otis since he has been trying
to command in the Philippines. He has
been accused of incompetency and
faults of temper which are fatal both
to his popularity and his efforts at
discipline.
1t has even been alleged that Agui-
naldo has outgenerald him on various
and sundry occasions, ard that the
Fihpinos are constantly much better
informed as to our plans than we are
concerning theirs.
But General Otis has at last redeem
ed himself. He has proved that he is
a great general and a strategist be-
yond compare.
The best description of his famous
coup that we have seen is given by the
Baltimore Sun. 1t is SO excellent that
we make no apologies for reproducing
it in full:
General Otis can at last laugh his
calumniators to scorn. He has gained
a triumph of which any man might be
proud. After nine months of desper.
ate endeavor he has at length succeed
ed in capturing a woman's wardrobe

twelve barrels, were intercepted on
Wednesday at San Nicholas by Lieu~
tenant Johnston and Troop M. of the
Third cavalry. Mrs. Aguinaldo. with
George Washington Aguinaldo, her in
FAINT son, escaped in costume that is
not specifically described and IN a
temper which can be readily imagined
by any other lady. SSOme other person

same time by the daring Lieutenant
johnson, and though the press censor,
with his usual judgment, has suppress
ed particulars regarding them for i'm

longings of Geor ge Washington Agui
naldo-among them his nursing bottle,
from which he had been imbibing milk
and rebeIllous Filipino sentiment, and
the rattle which he has been traitor
ously and defantIy shaking at General
Otis and the American troops.
"Itl difficult to overestimate the
Importance of this capture. The SUI

to the rebellion, as any married man
can easily see. 1t is SAID the woman

lost whose wife is deprived Of her
wardrobe at one fell swoop. He'll hath

no fury like a woman thus bereft.
Many persons have heretofore been in
clined to pity Aguinaldo pere, but now
will the profound sympathy OF the
masculine sex throughout the entire
world. What Mrs. AguiDaldo Will
do for Mr.. AguinaldQ when, IN
light marching order, she comes up
with that fleet and evasive warrior is
beyond the descriptive power even OF
special war correspondent. Logically,
1t is his fault that her clothes are gone,
because if there had been no war they
would not have been seized, and clear
| Iy there is but one way by which the
deep damnation of their taking off can
be atoned. No store clothes can be
had in the mountains and morasses of
LuZon, and to replace her outfit ASul>
naldo must surrender to General Otis
and secure free return for the enraged
matron to the shops and dressmakers
| of Manila. Unmarried men may sup
pose that he has the alternative OF re-
fuslng to obey Mrs. Aguinaldo. They
will know better when they are mar :
ried. No, the Philippine rebellion"
has not leg left to stand on, and we
shall hear in the course Of the next
few days that the hitherto defiant chief
of the Philippines, broken in spirit
and with humber views on the SUBJ
| iect of home rule, is meekly suing for
peace and some fall costumes for the
sovereign of bis household.
"And all this has been brought about
by General Otis thorough knowledge
of human nature and magnificent mill
itary strategy. Realizing that it was
| impossible for the American army ever
to catch AguinaldO, he determined to
set on his track a Nemesis whom he
could not escape, and ne has made Mrs.
| Aguinaldo the instrumentality for
humbling that naughty brave. Mr..
| Mckinney may claim the credit OF sug-
| costing this splendid plan of cam
| paign, as some of his advisers have
sought to do with reference to DeWey's
victory in Manila bay. But be and
Otis need not quarrel over it, for as,
in the language of Schley, there was
glory enough for everybody at SANTA
go there were petticOats enough cap
| tured at San Nicolas to equip both
Gen. Otis and the president for the rest
of their lives. We trust that when OTIS
returns to this country and is given a
grand reception at the capital this
| splendid achievement Will be properly
cOmmemorated in memorial arch and
on the swords and loving cups to be
presented to him. 1t might not be in
appropriate, also, to perpetuate its
memory on the Mckinley and Otis
coats-of. arms with heraldlc device
representing twelve barrels feminine
apparel, lady thinly clad but ram
pant, and Filipino warrior meekly
couchant at her feet. The very
thought of glory thus enshrined
ought to bring JOY to the white
house,"
1t would be pretty nice thing to
get up public testimonial to General
Otis for the heroic achievement thus
portrayed. The people of this repub-
lie are not ungrateful, and the Amerl-
can militar.' genius who can capture
twelve barrels of underclothes and
overclothes from one woman, to say
nothing of her tOOtsie-WOOtsie baby's
wardrobe, should not be permitted to
go without his appropriate reward

Beauty is born in the blood. Beauty
is more than skin deep, it is blood deep.
When the blood is tainted by disease the
flesh will feel it and the skin will show
it. Sallow or muddy compilations, pim~
pies, blo:ches and eruptions are the only
surface signs of impure blood. Face
washes, lotions, complexion powders
may palliate the eYils, but they cannot
cure the disease. Tue only cure is to
cleanse the blood of the poisonous mat
ter which is the cause of the outbreak in
the flesh and skin. Impure blood can be
absolutely purified by the use of DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Its
effect on flesh and skin is marked. Sores
heal and disappear. The. skin becomes
smooth and regains its natural color. The
eyes brighten and sparkle, the whole
body is radiant with the brightness and
beauty OF health. Golden Medical Dis
covery contains no alcohol, whisky or
other intoxicant, and is absolutely free
fir ,4n opium, cocaine and other narcotics.
The use of DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
assists the action of the Discovery by
