Washington, April 4. - The follow

department early Monday morning:
Manila, April 3, 1S99.-Adjutant General,
Washington: Present indications denote
insurgent government in perilous condi-
ton; it's army defeated, discouraged and
scattered. Insurgents returning to their
homes in cities and villages between here
and points north of Malolos which our
accommodating parties have reached and
desire protection Of Americans. News from
Visayan island more encouraging every
oa tsigned "o:r1s."
Pleased Mt the News.
War department officials were pleased
by the cheering dispatch from Gen.
Otis. 1t contains a great deal of en-
enlargement to them, and those who
know Gen. Otis well say he is not a
man to take a roseate view of the situa-
ton unless there is reason for it. It
is argued at the department that the
Filipinos have never been used to the
kind of warfare that the Americans
have given them, and for that reason
they are now aware that it will be i'm
possible for them to accomplish any
thing by fighting.
Preparing for Defense.
Manila, April 5.-Gen. Macarthur re-
connoitered in force Tuesday morning,
with the Montana regiment, the Fourth
cavalry and two guns of the light artil-
lery, as far as the river north of Malolos.
The reconnaissance developed the fact
that there are fully 1000 reb-
els, armed with Mauser rifles, preparing
for defense. Shots were exchanged and
two of the Montana regiment were
wounded, but there was no engage
ment. Later in the day Gen. MacAr-
thur moved northward, as the water
supply of Malolos is inadequate.
Shelled Them Out.
Manila, April 6.-The United States
cruiser Charleston, which has been
cruising along the west coast of Luzon,
to the north, sent boat in shore near
Dagupan last Saturday to make sound
ings. The rebels opened fire, wounding
United States officer. The cruiser
thereupon bombarded the town, the
insurgents evacuating it.
Aguinaldo Deposed.
Manila, April G.-There were persist
ent rumors Wednesday that Aguinaldo,
the insurgent leader, had been sup
planted in the control of Filipino af-
fairs by Gen. Antonio Luna, command
er-in-chief of the Filipino forces. Luna
is described as being a typical bellig-
erent.
Casualties for Two Months.
Washington, April 6.-The casual
ties in the Philippines from February
4 to April 4, 1899, inclusive, as reported
to the adjutant general are: Killed,
1874; wounded, 976. Total, 1850.

which included all that were able to be
sent home at that time.

IT is reported from Washington that
the President has sent Robert Porter
and Senior Quessda, TO Cuba, to induce
him to disband the Cuban army, and
submit to the military rule of the island
by the United States. The story is,
that Gomez is to be offered $15 000. 900
to pay off his troops and let them return
to their homes and farms and start the
various industries of the island. The
amount paid, is to be returned to the
United States through the customs re-
ceived at the various ports of entry,
of the island.

IT is said that those who favor the
ratification Of the Spanish treaty, will
accept the amendment of Senator Sulli-
van, which is as follows:
"That the ratification of the pending
treaty of peace with Spain shall in no
wise determine the policy to be pursued
by the U nited States in regard to the Phil.
ippines, nor shall it commit this Gov
ernment, to a colonial policy, nor is it
intended to embarrsss the establish
ment of a stable. Independent govern
ment by the people of those islands,
whenever conditions make such pro-
ceeding hopeful OF successful and de-
sirable results"
This is perhaps all that could be &C.
cured as a compromise, but We see
no reason why thu Senate could not
openly declare that we desire to see the
Philippines, in time, free and indepen
dent people.

Senator Hanna's Bill.

Senator Hanna introduced bill sew
eral weeks ago, providing subsidies by
the Govern ment to owners and builders
of vessels constructed and sailing under
our flag. The object of the bill as stated
in it's title, is to build up our merchant
ships, and because OF this, there are
some who say the bill was introduced by
him to further his own interests. What
ever his motive, the Senator has moi
worked under cover, for we can attes
that his literary bureau is sending ou
columns of printed matter weekly to
impress upon the dear public the merits
of this, his own little bill. The opponents
of his bill have made report in the
House, against it, and say of it:
"This bill is one that was prepared
and brought to Congress by voluntary
committee of ship owners and ship build
ers representing the gentlemen who viii
receive the bounty which the bill
proposes to give from the public
treasury. The bill ss it is reported tC
the House is in almost the exact form
and grants to penny the bounties de
manded by the gentlemen who are to re
ceive them. The bill is, therefore, natu
rally and entirely satisfactory to th'
interests which have organ ID thil
movement to secure the vast sums car
ried in the bill as a gratuity to be use(
in carrying on their private business ant
englarging the profits thereof. This bill
is the offspring of mere bounty beggars
and should be repudisted by representa-
tives of both political parties. 1t l
vicious in principle. 1t is not necessar
for the rehabilitation of our merchan
marine to give away hundreds of million
of the peoples tax money. The bill
wholly upjustifiab e."

THE Chief of Bureau of Ordnance Of
the Navy Department, in report to
Secretary Long, made January 80, says
that by the 18th of February, the day
the Maine was blown up, that every
vessel in the navy was supplied with the
allotted supply of ammunition, there
was large reserve of powder and pro-
jectiles on hand, and that Dewey could
safely have gone into action if he had
not received any further supply. But
before he left Hong Kong-before wal
was declared-his vessels were all filled
with an extra supply of ammunition
that was sent to him in January and
March. Let us hear no more of the cry
that war was STAYED off because our navy
was not ready for action.

When a man owns a blooded horse he is al
ways careful of its health. He looks after its
diet and is particular that the feeding shall be
regular and price. While he is doing this it is
likely as not that he is himself suffering from
disease or disorder. When the trouble gets so
had that he cannot work, he will begin to give
himself the care he gave the horse at the start.
Good pure, rich, red blood is the best insur-
ance against disease of any kind. Almost all
