POISONING THE SYSTEM.

II is through the bowels that the body is
cleansed of impurities. Constipation keeps
these poisons in the system, causing headache,
dulness and melancholia at first then unsightly
eruptions and finally serious illness unless
a remedy is applied. DeWitt's Little Early
Risers prevent this trouble by stimulating the
liver and promote easy, healthy action of the
bowels. These little pills do not act violently
but by strengthening the bowels enables them
to perform their own work. Never gripe or

Mary Mannering in Janice Meredith Scores
an Unqualified Success.

The dainty charm of naturalness in
Janice Meredith is the secret of the
success and increasing popularity of
Mary Mannering.
She is beautiful. Yes, but that's not
all. The rose is beautiful as it breathes
it's fragrance from the gilded vase on
festal board, but not one-haIf so beau
tiful as when it mods its beauty to the
morning air in which it sways to and fro.
And Miss Mannering's beauty is added
to by the absence of artificial methods
in her work.
The great audience at the Academy of
Music last night was captivated by the
charming lady in the title role and by
the able support rendered by Mr.. Robt
Drouet as John Brereton, and Amy
Richard as Tabitha Drinker In fact the
entire support is a strong one and the
presentation which they gave to Paul
Leicester Ford's romantic Revolutionary
story gives it easy rank as one Of the
best plays presented here.
1t was enjoyed by an audience whose
continued applause at the end of each
act was rewarded by frequent tableauX
pictures as the curtain would ascend
again and again. That Janice Meredith"
and Mary Mannering have visited Etal-
eigh is a matter of congratulation to
those who had the pleasure of being at
the Academy of Music last night.

Washington. March 6.-Governor Taft

from Acting Governor Wright, of the
Philippines in response to inquiries as
to recent reported military reverses:
THE facts are that Bells operations in
Laguna drove a band of insurgents in
the Morong, about two miles from Manila
in air line. Small band of ladrones
driven from Cavite by constabulary
Joined them. twenty-five constabularies,
under native sergeant attacked them, but
on account of having only fifteen rounds
of ammunition each, soon exhausted it
and were forced to retire without loss.
Assistant Chief Atkinson, of the constab-
ulary, with reinforcements Immediately
took charge and drove the band with a
loss into Laguna. Inhabitants of Rial
province giving information and assisting
as much as possible. Flores Governor
of province) with municipal police, join
ing in pursuit. There are not 800 arms
in the hands of insurgents and ladrones
in entire Luzon Island today. This
number reduced early by surrenders, cap
lures or casualties. Constabulary, with
aid of Trias Governor of Cavite) and
native police during the last two weeks
have routed ladrone bands existing in
Cavite for many years. capturing and re-
ceiving by surrender over 100 arms. The
most important feature is sentiment
among inhabitants hostile to ladrones
and insurgents. All other organized
provinces quiet. Situation never so good
since American occupation and very en-
couraging, notwithstanding persistent at
tempts to create contrary impression"

GENERAL HUGHES TESTIMONY.
Questioning Continued by the Senate Commit
tee on the Philippines
(By the Associated Press.


Washington, March General Hughes
gave further testimony before the Senate
Philippine Committee today. In an en-
deavor to establish the fact that the Fill
ipino army had effectively held the Span
ish army within it's lines in Manila pre-
vious TO the arrival of American forces.
Mr.. Patterson referred to the surrender
of 1000 Spanish troops to the insurrecto
forces in July, $685. General Hughes said
that the incident would only make him
believe that the Fliipinos had cut off the
supplies from the interior.
In answer to a question by Senator
Patterson as to whether the Filipinos
would accept independence unless it was
accompanied by a protectorate of some
kind by the United States, General
Hughes said that at a conference held by
him with representatives of the insurgent
army in Manila they would not commit
themselves to a proposition of protec-
torate by the United States. They first
wanted independence, he said, and after
that they would arrange for the protec-
torate, America being considered along
with the other powers.
Senator Patterson: "Do you want this
committee to understand that these COM
missioners representing the Filipino ar
my did not want independence If it was
accompanied by the withdrawal of the
American 1eet?"
General Hughes: II want you to un-
derstaad that they wished protection.
Senator Patterson insisted on yes or
no answer to his question, but after
some further colloquy General Hughes
said that was as definite an answer as he
could give.
