Nenson's Plaster Is Palms MasteI)

These are days of records and Of the beat
ing Of records. Benson's Porous Plaster, for
quickness of action and thoroughness Of
cure, has no records to beat except its own.
Benson's Plaster, always the best, always
the leader, is to-day better than eosr. It
sticks to the skin but never sticks in it's
tracks. It marches on.
The people not only want to be cured
but cured quickly and Benson's Plaster
does it. Coughs, colds, lumbago, asthma,
bronchitis, liver and kidney complaints,
and other ills approachabls by an external
remedy, yield to Benson's as ice does to heat.
Neither Belladonna, Strengthening or
Capsicum plasters are to be compared with
Benson's. People who have once tested
the merits Of Benson's Plaster have no use
for any other external remedy.
More than 5000 physicians and drug
gists (and thousand times as many nom
professional persons) have called Benson's
Plasters one Of the few e. home remedies
that can be trusted.
Fifty-fve highest awards have been made
to it IN competition with the best known
plasters Of Europe and America. Better
proof Of its merits is inconceivable. Be
sure TO get the genuine.

FILIPINO CASUALTIES.

Twenty-Five Thousand Have Been
Killed in the Present War.
New York, April 10.-According to
Herald special from Washington,
since the rebellion in the Philippines,
$4,000 men is the lowest estimate of
the war department of the casualties
sustained by the Filipino forces, 1867
rifles have been captured or sur
rendered., and 605,142 rounds of am
munition, as shown by incomplete re-
turns, have been seized. b
The number of Filipinos killed can
not be accurately determined, as Gen
eral- Macarthur in his dispatches
states that it is impossible to be accur-
ate on this point. 1t would not sur
prise officials should the Filipino ia
talities reach $4,000, and some say
that $4,000 is closer to the real figure.
Adjutant General Corbin is satisfied
that the casualties suffered by the
Filipinos will in themselves form a
potent reason for the abandonment
of further resistance by the natives.

The sentiment OF the provincial
governments is almost unanimous in
favor of the division Of the fund of
$4,000, Mexican currency, now in the
hands of the present government of
Negros, between the proposed prov
inces of Occidental and Oriental Ne
gros. The bone of contention has been
that the commission set apart two
thirds of this fund for Occidental and
one-third for Oriental Negros, the diff
ference in the amounts to be Offset by
taxes still unpaid at Bacolod.
A resolution in favor of the organi-
zation of two Of the provinces have
been adopted. Details have been en-
bodied, providing for the obligations
Of the present government. The prov
inces will be created later.

Has Furnished an Itemized Statement
Showing Damages Sustained and
Expenditures Made Amounting to
s25, 100000 but Is Willing to Lose
Half-Satisfied That the Great Dan-
ger of the Situation Is Delay.


Washington, April 10.-The state de-
partment has heard further from Mr..
Rockhill, our special commissioner at
Peking, touching the effort making
there to reach an agreement, respect
ing the indemnity to be demanded
from the Chinese government. Mr..
Rockhilrs principal effort, acting un-
der direct instructions from Secretary
Hay, is to induce the ministers of
other powers to keep down the total
the financial exports, headed by Sir
Robert Hart, have decided to be within
the ability of China to pay. The Unit
ed States government has felt that on
no account should the total indemnity
claim exceed 940,000,000 and has
steadfastly sought to make that fig-
ure the outside limit of the claims.
For itself the state department claims
$25,000,000 indemnity and It has sup
piled Mr.. Rockhill with data for the
presentation Of an itemized account
showing the expenditures made by
the government of the United States
IN the transportation Of our military
contingent in China. its maintainence
there and the just claims of the mis-
sionaries who were American citizens
and suffered in property and person
from the Boxer outbreak.
In its anxiety to avoid depressing
China and to secure speedy settle
ment Of the Chinese question the Unit
ed States government stands willing
to make heavy cut In it's claim, pro-
vided the other nations represented
at Peking will abate their claims in
proportion. It is entirely possible
that If Mr.. Rockhill can induce the
other ministers to make a cut of so
per cent in their indemnity claims, he
will do so; though the apparent result
be the loss to the United States Of
$500, 900.
The administration is satisfied that
the great danger of the situation at
Peking lies in delay. Had the rep
reservations of Mr.. Rockhill been
needed, the officials are confident that
the formidable rebellion which has
now broken out under the lead of Gen
eral Tung Flu Sian in Shen 81 province
would never have occurred.

HIS PHYSICIAN OBJECTS.
Mr.. Kruger Said to Be Anxious to
Visit the United States.
New York, April 10.-Dispatches
from Holland, says The Tribune's 8
London correspondent, revive the ru-
NOR that Mr.. Kruger is bent upon Wis
iting the United States during the
summer. Private information from
The Hague leads to the belief that his
physician Is strongly opposed to any
course of action which will subject
him to excitement. Mr.. Kruger's gen
eral health is fair, but he has weak
heart action and has been warned
that he must live quietly. The talk
about his American journey comes
from Boer sympathizers in Holland
who are unwilling to admit that he has
exhausted the resources of diplomacy
and has nothing in reserve.
