TAFT Is OPTIMISTIC
Says the War in the Philippines is
is Practically Ended

San Francisco, Jan. Ex-Governor
General Taft, who arrived last night,
landed this afternoon. Governor Taft
expects to start Washington to-
morrow. He will stop at Cincinnati,
his home, enroute.
Discussing conditions in the Philip
pines, Governor Taft said:
~ wish the press would correct the
impression that there is war on all
the islands. The insurrection is con-
fined to two localities-the province
, of Batangas and the island of Samar.
This morning | received most en-
couraging cable from General Wright
who is acting governor in my absence
1t said that owing to General Bells
strong repressive measures, the trou-
BILE in Batangas was being Quilted. He
further said that 700 rifles had been
surrendered and as there are only 100
TO 1900 rifles in the province, there is
no doubt that Batangas will soon be
as peaceful as any of the other pro-
vinces.
81 don't think General Bell will
have need to adopt the reconcentrado
principle to Batangas. l don't see
that there will be any necessity for
this, as this dispatch plainly indi
Gates that the province is in fair
yav of modification. -

GIRLS ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
Two Prisoners in the County Jail
Seek Freedom via the Lunar
Caustic ROute-Still Alive

Up at the county jail there are two
young women who are mighty sore
and suffering physical and mental
torture because of fruitless attempt
to end their lives last night.
One is Josie Williams, a white girl.
in jail for street walking and supposed
to be the party who hired horse
from Ritter's livery, drove it thirty
six hours, and returned it by turning
the horse loose and allowing it to go
to the barn. The other is Pearl Moul-
ton, the colored girl, who as an in
mate of the Saline Washington resort,
was bound over as the guilty party in
the robbery of the Blue Mound bar
ber. She is charged with having
stolen thirty dollars from him.
The girls got hold of some lunar
caustic which was in the drug depart
ment of some of the other prisoners.
They dissolved some of it in water and
each drank enough that night as they
thought, to quickly end their lives.
The pain Of the acid was too severe,
however, and their suffering and out
cries disclosed what mad happened
long before they were dead. Restora-
tives were applied 10y physician and

Washington, Jan. 81. Senator
Hoarn OF Massachusetts, is generally
credited with being the directing pow.
er behind the scenes in the investiga.
tion of General Metcalf on the charge
OF killing Filipino prisoners at the
battle of Caloocan. Senator Hoar
cares nothing about General Metcalf's s
guilt or innocence, but, as the head
and front of the agitation concerning
American outrages in the Philippines,
he is anxious to prove that Filipino
prisoners were killed in cold blood by
American soldiers. This charge has
been frequently made, but has been
denied by the military officers operat-
ing in the islands. Captain Boltwood

Immediately on his arrival establish
ed close relations with the Massachu-
setts senator. No one believe that
Metcalf was guilty of the outrage, and
his case would practically have been
disposed of on the evidence furnished
by the findings of two courtsmartial
which pronounced him innocent of the
charge, bat it does not suit Senator
Hoar, who is pushing the investiga-
tion with view to bringing out con-
vincing facts that his theory is correct
For this reason the case has been in

DISCOVERIES OF CEYL0N.
The POFtuguese Were Pioneers In
That Wonderful Country But
Were Ousted.

The Portuguese, who in the days of
their commercial greatness had a
wonderful keen eye for anything like
gold shat comes from successful COM
mercial pursuits, were the first Euro
peans to discover Cey1on and to make
use of the island. They occupied the
desirable ports from early in the six
teenth century to the middle of the
seventeenth. Then the Dutch came
along and ousted them. This was in
1856. And for 40 years the Dutch adj
ministered the maritime provinces. In
1896 the English took from them this
last remaining stronghold. It was
not until 1915 that the British hold on
the island was clinched by the depar-
ture of the king of Handy. Up to that
time, despite the impress that they
had made on the coast, the Europeans
had been entirely unable to get into
the interior, and the kings of Randy
had reigned over several million peo-
pie who paid tribute to them. Great
kings they must have been, some of
them, for there are many evidences to
show that the civilization of those
days was something worth while. In
area the island is about the same size
as Holland or Belgium. It is 271 miles
long and 1877 miles across at extreme
breadth. It's area is 1896 square
miles. In Singalese the island is
Lanka. Its later names were Serendib
and TaprObane.

THE ODOR OF DISEASE.
Smells That Are Valuable to Ply
sicians Means of
Diagnosis,

Berard says that, apart from the
eNcretions, an abnormal odor of the
skin tends to draw flies, and that, how
ever little noticeable it may be, it de-
notes death is near; and Boerhaave
held that cadayeric odor always
presages death. Althaus tells us that
Skoda was hardly ever led into error
by this indication and Compton also
laid great stress upon this as clinical
symptom; but the smell given off dur
ing the death agony is totally differ
ent from the death odor (that OF
putridity) and is universally admitted
to be specific, says the Medical Re
corder. In govt the skin secre-
tons take special odor which Syden-
ham compared to whey; it is sour, or
at least sourish, and there is an excess
of ammonia. In rheumatism it is ace
toformic, particularly in the regions OF
engorged articulations (Monin); it is
a sour-smelling, acid perspiration. In
diabetes the smell is sweetish and
mawkish, as of hay, according to La
than, "acetone," says Picot, and "mid-
way between aldehyd and acetone, be-
ing due to a mixture in variable pro-
portions of the two bodies,'' according
to Bouchardat.
A musky odor obtains to several
maladies, notably pcritonitis, jaundice
and icterus; and a stale, sour beer odor
to scrofulosis. The pyemic person has
a sweet, nauseating breath. with per-
haps flavor of new-mown hay. In
milk fever the smell is distinctly acid;
in typhoid, musty, often with the odor
of blood; in typhus, ammoniacal and
mouse-like, which latter also obtains
to favus; in intermittent the odor is
that of fresh-baked brown bread; yell
low fever has cadaveric smell, or like
the washings of a dirty gun barrel. In
measles it closely resembles fresh
picked feathers; in diphtheria, is sick
ening and gangrenous-an odor that
is absolutely pathognomonic; in
smallpox, according to severity and
stage, it ranges from that of the fallow
deer to the dreadful one of the whole
menagerieb or it may be that of burn
ing horn or bones. Hysteria usually
develops an odor of violets or pineap-
pies; sudamina, that of putrid straw;
scabies, moldy; anemia and cholera,
ammoniacal. Otorrhea has peculiar,
clinging, long-lasting odor that once
observed will never be forgotten; so,
too, is the odor of a hen roost that OBJ
tains to ozenas and bad chronic
catarrhs. Gangrene has an old, dead
meat smell, as have some cancers at
certain stages. At the onset of the
plague the odor is sweet, or honey-like,
according to Doppner.
