Bloemfontein, Threatening the

London, April 1O.-When it is borne
in mind that all the dispatches from
the front are severely censored there
is little in the. news to bring satisfac-
ton to England. Assurances that
nothing need be feared, evtn If the
railways and telegraphs are u und
Bloemfontein isolated, together with.
the news that the ladies and other
civilians are being ordered away, do
not augur well. There are rumors
from Cape Town that the telegraph
wires were already cut yesterday, and
also that the Hussars who were sent
to the relief of the Royal Irish rifles,
are also missing, although probably
these are the outcome of Boer xag
gerations, designed to encourage the
burghers.
The attempt of Gen. Colville to catch
the Boer leaders in conference at
Reitfontein failed probably, as usual,
because Of the lack Of cavalry. The
results of these serious checks to the
British arms is that the whole Free

Washington. April 1O.-Gen. Elwell
s: Otis has been formally relieved OF
command Of the troops in the Philip
pines and Gen. Macarthur will Sue
coed him in the direction Of affairs In
the new possessions. From the text
of the correspondence made public by
the war department all idea OF, Gen.
Otis returning to Manila is abandoned
and Gen. Macarthur is to be the mil
itary governor. 1t has been known
for some time that Gen. Otis was to
leave the Philippines. 1t has been the
impression that he was to be granted
a leave Of absence as soon as he could
put affairs III sucn shape as to be able
to leave them until about October,
when he might return. The cor
respondence between Gen. Otis and
the war department. however. leaves
it to be inferred that Gen. Otis does
not desire to go back to Manila, but
has no request to make regarding his
future sphere Of duty.

The club is still considering the invitation
Of the Royal Caledonian Curling club to the

The good fellowship and rich prizes arc a
strong i%nducement, but It is improbable that
a local team will be put in the field because
OF the time and expense necessary in max
ing the trip. Another year. when the club
has attained larger proportions, Il is hoped
that the local curriers' will be represented,
as the club has no doubt OF its ability to
carry off its share Of the trophies. Before
proper form can be reached. however, the

offer some competition. Correspondence is

A Colossal Humbug
Forcing I~rritants Up the Nose in Treating
Catarrh a Great Mistake Air Passage
Not Effectively Reached by
Such Means.

SO many people in this climate suffer with
Catarrh of the Nose that much useless
s%nufing of inhalants will be avoided by a
brief reference TO what Catarrh really is.
1t Is a result of a succession Of colds, each
one finding the mucous membranes a more
convenient place to locate than the former
cold, hence Catarrh is a chronic cold in the
head. Now, we do not take cold by breath
or exposing the body to varying degrees OF
moisture, so that il will be readily seen
air passages directly, but travel from the
feet or other exposed place to the nasal
passages, simply because the mucous mem
bTanes at this place are more susceptible to
colds than the stomach bowels, bladder and
other parts of the body provided with these
