Lieutenant Gilmore and nineteen
3ther American prisoners, rescued
from the rebels arrived at Manila on
saturday night from Vigan. They
were found on December 18 near the
mead waters of the Abalet River, af-
Ter they had been abandoned by the
tlllplnos. Although tanned and ruddy
from exposure, Lieut.. Gilmore is weak
and nervous, showing the results of
long hardships. He speaks warmly of
Agulnaldo and very bitterly of Gen.
limo, declaring that while in the form
er's Jurisdiction he was treated splen-
d1dly, but that after he fell into the
latter's hands he suffered everything
After the party were captured they
were all taken to San Isidro, where
Lieut. Gilmore, who had been wound
ed in the knee, recovered from the
effects of his injury. They were then
marched to Vigan, where, under
Aguinaldo's orders, they received ex-
cellent treatment. When Gen. Tino
arrived at Vigan, however, they were
thrown into Jail and were held incom-
municado for three months. Gen.
Tino, who appeared to have been
bloodthirsty individual, issued orders
condemning to death any natives who
were friendly to the Americans.
Lieut.. Gilmore wrote five letters to
the General asking for food and blank
cts, and requesting that the prisoners
be allowed to take exercise. No at
tention was paid to these requests for
some time but eventually Gen. Tino
visited the prison and promised that
the Americans should have what had
been asked for. Needless to say the
promise was never fulfilled. The
lieutenant in command of the party
told Lieut.. Gilmore that he had re-
oeived orders from Gen. Tino to kill
4il the American prisoners, but he
said that his conscience forbade him
ID commit murder, and he therefore
INTENDED to abandon them to look out
Tor themselves.

be insane, have been sent to Washing.

The Onion Cure.

Onions are a kind of all-round good
medicine. A whole onion eaten at
bedtime will, by the next morning,
break up the severest cold. Onions
make good plaster to remove in
fiammation and hoarseness. If an
onion is smashed so as to secure all
the juice in 1t it will make most re-
markable smelling substance that will
quiet the most nervous person. The
strength of it inhaled for few mo-
ments will dull the sense of smell and
weaken the nerves until sleep is pro-
duced from sheer exhaustion. It all
comes from one property possessed
by the onion, and that is a form of
opium.

PAPER TEETH.
The Latest Thing in Dentistry 10
Cheap.

Cheap.
Paper teeth are the latest thing in
dentistry. For years some substance
has been sought for which could re-
place the composition commonly en-
ployed for making teeth, and a for
tune awaited the man who was lucky
enough to hit upon the right material.
Although paper has some disadvan-
tages, they are small compared to its
many qualifications, and paper teeth
are likely to be used exclusively-at
least until more perfect material is
found.
Up to this time china has been used
almost exclusively but it presents so
many disadvantages that dentists
have always been on the lookout for
some other substance which could re-
place it. Not only does china not re-
sist the action OF saliva and turn
black, but china affects the nerves Of
the jaws.
People who wear false teeth often
complain of suborbital neuralgia, and
this is put down by many dentists as
being caused by the heat or cold act
ing on the china or porcelain. Porce-
lain or mineral composition also is
liable to chip or break, and for these
reasons have never been satisfactory.
The paper teeth are made of papier
mache, which is submitted to a tre-
mendous pressure until it is as hard
as required. Their peculiar compost
tion renders them cheap, and the
price of set of teeth will go down
considerably owing to the new inven-
tion.
The color of the papier mache can
also be made to vary, which is an inn
portant point, as no two sets of teeth
are identical in color, some teeth hav-
ing strong yellowish cast, while 9TH
ers are blush white. In order, there
fore, to obtain the right tint the color
ing matter has only to be introduced
into the mixture before the tooth is
cast in order to match the other teeth
exactly. 1t is in this particular that
china teeth often fail to appear nat
ural, their color differing from the
other teeth in the mouth and showing
that the tooth is tificial.-Pearsons

BRITISH AND BOERS
LATEST MOVEMENTS IN THE
CAMPAIGN.
A Fuii Summary of the Trans vaai
War News-Progress of the Con.
flict From Day to Day-The British
Encouraged.

The Queen has notified the King of
Belgium that she is not ready to medi-
ate the war in South Africa
The Berlin correspondent of the
London Daily Mail says that $4,000
lyddite shells have been turned out
by the Krupp works, which were or
dered some time ago by DR.. Leyds,
the Transvaal agent in Europe.
The great battle at Ladysmith the
other day ragged fiercely for seventeen
hours. Points were captured again
and again by the attacking Beers and
retaken by Gen. Whites forces, who
nnally repulsed the burghers. The
situation of the garrison is still. how
ever, regarded as perilous, and weak
ened by disease among the troops and
shortness of supplies, White may be
compelled to capitulate. The relief
expected from the army of Gen. Butler
has not been realized, and the latters
attack on Colenso on the advance
toward Ladysmith appears to have
been little more than a demonstration,
according to London cablgrams.
A private of the Irish Rifles, who
fought at Stormberg, says that when
Gen. Gatacre saw the trap the guide
mad led the troops into he shot the
guide dead
Gen. French reports that four com
panies of the First Suffolk Regiment
attacked Boer position in Cape Col
ony. Lieut.. Col. Watson, in command,
was wounded, and retreat was or
dered. Three-fourths of the British
forces reached the camp, but seventy
were compelled to surrender, includ-
ing seven officers.
There are rumors in London that
Gen. Butler has already begun his ad-
vance toward the relief of Ladysmith
Preliminary skirmisbing is going on
along the Tugela River, and the great
battle there will probably soon be
fought if it has not already practically
begun.
There have been military successes
scored by the British forces under
Generals Gatacre and French in Cape
Colony, although the town of Douglas,
which had been captured, has been
evacuated Moltena which the Beers
occupied, was abandoned after a hot
skirmish, and the outlook is reported

Buffers advance, near Colenso has
been replying warmly to the Boer at
tack on Ladysmith, but the opposing
forces have not yet engaged in a reg

A vigorous shelling of the Boer
trenches on the plain, near Frere
Camp in Natal forced the burghers
to Shift their position after their
horses had stampeded.
Since Boer Commandant General
Joubert's return to the front the can
nonade of Ladysmith by the Beers
has been much liveler Between De-

New Rifles.

One thousand Krag-Jorgensen rifles
have been supplied to the battleships
Kentucky and Kearsarge. Both
branches of the service will soon have
small arms of the same calibre, thus
greatly simplifying the problem of in
terchangeable supplies of ammunition
when the army and navy are required
to carry on joint operations. The Lee
rifle will gradually be discarded and
replaced by the other small calibre
rifle. The Army Ordnance Depart
ment will manufacture the Krag-Jor-
gensen rifle for the navy, but the am.
munition will be manufactured by the
Ordnance Department.

The danger of the bubonic plague
reaching the shores of the United
States from the Orient on the Pacific
side of the continent is pronounced to
be even less than on the Atlantic
size by the Marine Hospital Service
officials. They have studied the ap-
pearance and progress of the plague
from the start, and declare that it can
be stamped out as easily as scarlet
fever or similar contagious diseases.
The alarm at present is not so much
for the United as for the Philippines.
Our transports have been stopping at
Hong Kong all the past summer and
fall without any danger of contact
with the plague districts.

A FATAL FIRE.
Residence of Joseph Pulitzer, of New
York, Burned.

The handsome residence of Joseph
Pulitzer, publisher of the New York
World, at 1912 East Fifty-first street,
was destroyed by fire Jan. 8, and two
women servants lost their lives. The
total loss is estimated at 100000 The
insurance is S250,000.
The victims of the fire were Mrs.
Morgan Jellett, the housekeeper, and
Miss Elizabeth Montgomery, gov
erness.
The origin of the fire is variously
ascribed to electric wires, the steam
heater and an open fire. 1t started
about 1850 a. m, while Mrs. Pulitzer,
her daughters, Constance and Edith,
IL and IA years old respectively, and
Herbert, boy of three years, and
the housekeeper and governess, were
asleep. Mr.. Pulitzer and his son, Jo-
seph, Jr., were at Lakewood. There
were sixteen servants in the house.
Mrs. Pulitzer got her children togeth-
er, and, with the aid OF their nurse,
got them safely to the street. Sew
eral of the servants had narrow es-
capes, one of them making his way
out of the building by way of the roof
He says he saw Mrs. Jellett on the
roof and that she went back to get a
bag containing Christmas presents
When the firemen found the body Of
the housekeper on the top floor the
Hewas in her hand It contained a
number of silver trinkets and fancy
articles.
The body of the governess, Miss
Montgomery, was discovered after
several hours. It was found in the
ruins on the third floor.
Mrs. Pulitzer who is a niece of
Jefferson Davis, had a number of jew
els in safe in the house, which were
buried in the ruins. She says that
everybody had time TO get out of the
house after the fire started, as there
was smoke only for some minutes be-
fore the flames.
