sion, the members have been huhiIy. en-
gagged IN preparing q code OF laws to
take the place OF the Spanish Stntuten.
The best legal advice the commissions
eFs have beeh able 10 obtain supports
their own view that such a new code
can be legally adopted by the military
government OF the Island. with the
sanction Of the President. and without
awaiting the action OF Congress. Such
a step would give the islanders the ad-
vantage Of modern laws, under which
the regeneration Of TIE island could be
carried on by ita military governor, as
long as was desirable. before railing the
question Of Porto Ricos admission to
actual state or territorial rights. It Is
considered probable that a large part,
at least, OF the new code Of laws be-
Ing formulated by the commission will
be adopted ana put in force before the
meeting OF Congress.

The Arhuments IN Their Favor Come
From Those who Have Tested

There Is no deception IN anything We
publish about dorrow's Kid-ne-oids.

recommending Morrow's Kid-ne-oids
because they cure baclRehe, nervous
ness, Bleeplessness and general debility.

Mrs. Charles "A. Taylor, residing ut
1913 chupline street, makes the follow
ing statement and says: II suffered
with disordered kidneys and liver for
several months. My condition became
alarming and palms across the small
part Of my back were extremely Sc
we're and could get no rest from them
day or night. would be so nervous
and sleeplesS at night that II would be
impossible for me to get any rest and /
would get up In the morning more tired
than when going to bed.
My liver was 80 bad that my COM
plexlon was very yellow and even the
whites Of my eyes were yellow. It
seemed impossible for me to get any
thing that would do me any good, until
read where Charles r. Goetze guar
anteed Morrow's Kid-ne-oids TO cure all
disorders OF the kidneys and Morrow's
LlverIax to cure all liver trouble and l
decided to try them. I got some and
in q short time after began the
treatment the pain disappeared from
my back and my complexion cleared
up; the yellow color left my eyes and /
have felt well ever since"
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pills,
but Yellow Tablets, and are put up in
wooden boxes which contain enough
for about two weeks treatment and
sell at fifty cents box. Morrow's Liv-
erlax are small red granules and will
cure constipation: they sell at twenty
five cents box. Both remedies are
for sale by Charles R. Goethe, the drug

WASHINGTON, July 5.-The sudden
rise in copper is responsible for extra
ordinary difficulties now confronting
the Chinese currency system. according
to United States Consul Fowler. The
result has been that the cash or sub
sldlary coin is now worth much more
than It's token value In silver. In fact,
the ChineBe government Is paying Las
tnels for the copper and zinc out Of
which IS minted enough cash to make

says that in the end the present great

LAYTON CAPTURES SAN IslDRo.
The Second Capital Of the FIIipinos is
Occupied by American Troops -Re-
bells are Being Cornered,

Manila, May 1s.-Gen. Lawton's ad-
vance guard, under Col. summers, OF
the Oregon troops took San lsidro, the
insurgent capital yesterday. The ex-
pedition under Maj. kebbe, of the
Third artillery, consisting Of the Seven"
teenth infantry. a battalion of the
Ninth and one battery of the First ar
tillery, left Calumpit at daybreak,
marching up the Rio Grnnde to join
Lawton's division at Arayat. \ fiotil-
la of barges loaded with supplies also
proceeded up the river. Both forces
were conT1yeI by the tin clad" army
gunboats.
Washington. May 1S.-The following
dispatch has been received from Gen.
Otis:
"Situation ms follows Lawton has
covered Bulacan province with his col
umn and driven insurgent troops north
ward to San Jsidro, the second insur-
gent capital, which he captured We'd
nesday: is now driving enemy north
ward into the mountains. He has
had constant fighting. int'icting heavy
losses and suffering few casualties"
That the insurgents are disntcgrat-
ed and demoraliled is perfectly mani
fest from the press dispatches and the
cable received from Gen. Otis. Gen.
LaWton. who was pushing thu line Of
the rebel retreat along the Rio Grande
has taken San Isidro, the second insur.
gent capital and when Otis dispatch
was sent was still pressing the enemy
northward. The fact that he is sus-
tanning few losses in his forward
movement, although in almost con-
tinual contact with the enemy is an
ether pro-; Of their utter ,cnoraliza-
ton.
II will soon be the mountains or the
sea for the insurgents. As our troops
could be transported by sea to the
mouth of Agno and a new base of op-
CrationS established there. it would be
folly for the rebels to take that course.
Scattered. demoraliZed and diSheart-
ened. it is almost certain THAT the
! rebels will retreat into the Businesses
of the mountains, where they would be
safe from pursuit, and where they
could keep up guerilla warfare in
definitely or until their leaders came
to their senses.
The words in Gen. Otss' dispatch
must not be taken literally as MEAN
| ing that Lawton has covered" all of
BuIacan province, but only the open
country of that province. or all west
| If Nor2agary. East of Norzagary is
whll of mountains extending to the
sea. These mountains run directly
north on the left flank of the rebel re-
treat along the valley of the Rio
Irandc, to about ten miles north of San
lsidro, where they trend westward. It
IS into the foothills of these mountains
that Lawton is now driving the scat
tered forces of the insurgents.

A BAD PLACE FOR POOR MEN.
Capitalists Can DO Wei In Porto Rico,
bnt Moneyless People Should stay


New York, May 1S.-Gen. Henry. un-
til recently military governor of Porto
Rico, has arrived here from San Juan.
He is enthusiastic about Porto Rico, its
people and its possibilities. at is a
wonderful country" he said, 'but we
will have to go slow in bringing about
reforms. Capital invested will bring
large returns. More than 80 per cent.
Of the value of the sugar cane is lost in
the process of grinding. Children are
thirsting for knowledge and the great
need is schools.
"The general conditions are very en-
couraging. Over $4,000 men are at
work on public improvements and we
are spending over 100000 n month in
this way. The road from Ponce to San
Juan, the military road is well built,
but the other roads are wretched.
"Porto Rico is the place for the cap
italst rather than for the poor man.
At present there are thousands of the
poorer class without employment.
When left there We're $1,000 laborers
employed on the roads at 80 cents a
day. The average wages for unSlliled
labor on plantations is 36 cents day.
The fertility of the land and warmth
of the climate make the demand for
labor very small"

Probably one of the most peculiar
customs noticeable in the Cuban mar
kets is the extremely small purchases
small in quantity-made by the lower
class of natives. Small gourd cups,
holding scarcely more than table
spoonful, are used in measuring rice,
-four, beans and peas. Cabbages are cut
in wedges the size of a cigar, turnips
into eighths, squashes into minute
chunks and onions into halves. Pota-
toes are sold by number. 1t is no un-
common thing to see woman buy a
piece of meat weighing a couple of
ounces, then pass through the market
purchasing . tablespoonful of vegeta-
bles here and and piece of garlic there,
and, finally, after an hour of gossip, de-
part with food products worth five or
six cents.
