ONE SOLDIER KILLED.
Insurgents Fired Upon the Gunboat La

MANILA. July 20.-The Spanish COM
mission charged with negotiating for
the release of Spanish prisoners held by
the FiipinoS expected to return to Tar
Lac soon, with full authority to secure the
release of all the prisoners. The COM
lnissioners hoped to be able to make ar
rangementS under which the money to
be paid for the ransom Of Spanish cap
tives would be deposited in the bank,
to be drawn by the Filipinos at future
date, so that the money would not be
used to carry on the war against the
United States.
The Filipinos refused to allow civilian
prisoners to embark on board ship
leaving Apar1i, although they had pass
ports signed by Aguinaldo.
There We're terrific rains here. In
consequence 1t was necessary to use
boats III moving about the streets of
Manila and the whole country was
flooded. The total precipitation up to
Wednesday i'll July was about 20 inches
and i'll 81 hours II inches of rain fell.
Insurgents concealed on the bank of
the Rio Grande fired ON the gunboat
Lasuna de Bay, killing one soldier and
woundin2 two. The gunboat trained

disposed of the insurgents.

to the following is that it concerns
an Akron citizen. It would lose
three-quarters of its interest if it in

all the testimony which has appear

low about the Old Quaker remedy,
Doan's Kidney Pills, it comes from
residents, fellow-citizens and neigh
bors. No other remedy can show
such record of home cures. Read
this case:
Mrs. M. J. Vealey, of l2l East
North street, says: 81 had tried
about every kidney medicine I knew
of when got Doan's Kidney Pills
from Lamparter & Co.'s drug store
on South Howard street, but nothing
before ever gave me positive relief.
1t is now six months since [ stop
ped the treatment and 1 have not
had single attack of the backache
which before bothered me all the
time. I sleep soundly and my kid
neys are strengthened. / can say
positively that Doan's Kidney Pills
are superior to any other kidney
medicine 1 ever used and l tried
nearly all of them"

had never contemplated naming Cen

also that General Corbin might be given
the portfolio permanently, although this

again seen, said that they had felt that
the resignation was likely to come al

prised at the published announcement
that it was actually in hand that they
were at first inclined TO regard it as
premature.
Adjutant General Corbin, while not
wishing to discuss any OF the facts con-
nected with the resignation, expressed
his personal regret at the turu of affairs.
He said:
Il feel great sympathy and great re-
spect for the secretary. History will
show that If he has erred it has been on
the side of the soldier. on the side of those
who were fighting the battles. No man
in that position has ever had more at
