BLOOD

We live by our blood, ano
on it. We thrive or starve, a:
our blood is rich or poor.
There is nothing else to live
on or by.
When strength is full anc
spirits high, we are being re
freshed, bone muscle and brain
in body and mind, with con
tinual flow OF rich blood.
This is health.
When weak, in low spirits
no cheer, no spring, when rest
is not rest and sleep is not
sleep, we are starved; our blood
is poor; there is little nutri-
ment in it.
Back of the blood, is food
to keep the blood rich. When
it fails, take SCOTS emulsion

BIGGEST SHIP YET.
Korea, Launched mt Newport News,
Is the Leyiathan of Ameri-
can Shipyards.

Washington, March 25.-The Korea,
which was launched Saturday at the
Newport News Shipbuilding COM
pany's works, bears the distinction
of being up to date the largest steam
vessel ever built on this side of the
Atlantic With a length of 572 feet
inches and a beam of SO feet, she
will displace 1s,600 tons on a draft of
II feet. Some idea of the size of the
Korea may be derived from the fact
that from the top to the bottom of
the bare hull is distance of 40 feet,
while the distance around her rail
is nearly a quarter of a mile. She is
to be fitted with engines of $4,000
horse power, sufficient to propel her
at speed of from Is to 20 knots.
The Korea will accommodate 1890
passengers, of whom 200 will be first
cabin passengers. She is designed
for the Pacific Mail Steamship COM
pany, to ply between San Francisco
and Hong-Kong.

Serious embarrassment has been

made illegal

Our Last Move Made.

So far as the United States is con-

word has been spoken, and there is not
expected to be any decisive move or
protest beyond what already has been
given. At the same time it is appre-
ciated that the United States has large
commercial interests in Manchuria,
which cannot but be affected if China S

GOES AFTER ABU|NALDQ.
Gen. Funston and Small Com

Expedition.
THEY WILL SEARCH ISABELLA PROVINCE
News So Encouraging from the Phil
ippines That Garrisons in Archi-
pelago May he Reduced-Adminis-
tration Embarrassed by Legisla-
ton Prohibiting Timber Cutting.

Manila, March 25.-Gen. Funston
is now engaged in daring project
which promises to be the greatest
and most romantic achievement of
his eventful career. In January, from
his hiding place in the province of
anathematizing the subchiefs who
had taken the oath of allegiance to
the United States. Later, Aguinaldo
ordered insurgent forces in southern
Luzon to join him at a rendezvous in
Isabella province. The rebel officer
intrusted with these orders secretly
negotiated with the Americans. On
securing necessary information Gen.
Funston planned Aguinaldo's capture
and, with Gen. MacArthur's authori-
zation, Gen. Funston proceeded two
weeks ago to make the attempt.
Gen. Funston, with Surgeon Major
Harris; Capt. Newton, of the Thirty
fourth infantry; Lieut.. Admire, of
the Twenty-second infantry; Lieut..
Mitchell, of the Fortieth infantry:
six veteran scouts and company of
native scouts, all picked men, en-
barked on the gunboat Vicksburg
and were landed on remote beach
above Baler.
Details of the Plot.
It was arranged that Aguinaldo's
emissary, with the native scouts,
should pass themselves off as insur-
gent troops who, having captured
Gen. Funston and others. were taking
them as prisoners to Aguinaldo.
At the right time, when brought be-
fore Aguinaldo, Gen. Funston was to
give signal, when the tables were to
be turned and Aguinaldo was to be
seized. Six days march into the
interior were contemplated. Treach-
cry was considered possible, but
every precaution was taken The
troops in New Vizcaya and New
Ecija and the gunboats Nicksburg
and Albany were to cooperate with
Gen. Funston's force. The Vicksburg
is expected here.
Col. Rosario, with 81 men and sc
rifles, has surrendered to Col Bald
win. of the Fourth infantry. at San
Francisco de Malabon, Cavite prov
ince.
Lieut. Dean. of troop c, Sixth cav
airy, has engaged force of insur-
gents at Tubig, Lagunda province,
killing several of them and capturing
seven men and "a rifles.
Favorable News from Philippines
New York, March 25.-A special to
the Press from Washington says: Ad-
vices from the Philippines are SO en-
couraging for peace that the war de-
partment is considering the advisa-
bility of reducing the garrisons in the
archipelago. The reorganized army
will be recruited to the full strength
of 100000 men, but it is believed that
future requirements will not compel
the administration to maintain this
maximum.
About $4,000 regulars will be entitled
to their discharges in the current
year. 1t is proposed to let these sol
diers return to their homes and to not
fill their places. Thus the army can
be reduced to 10000 men in a perfectly
natural way without interfering with
its discipline or effectiveness.
New Ulm review., 1901-03-27
Differs from Original Draft.

St. Petersburg, March 25.-It is un-
derstood and generally believed in
diplomatic circles here that the Russo
Chinese agreement, now about being
signed, differs considerably from the
original draft, though the precise diff
ferences are not obtainable.
Russian statesmen reiterate en-
phatically that Russia does not intend
to assume protectorate over Man
churia.
