HEAVY LOSS
TO PORTUGUESE TROOPS RE-
PORTED TODAY.

Lisbon. Dot. IA severe disaster
has befallen q detachment Of Porsu-
guese troops .. the Cunene river,
southwest Africa. The government.
having trouble with the Ousnhama
tribe, who are neighbors Of the Her.
reros, sent a column to restore order.
The detachment numbered 400 men,
commanded by Captain Aguiar. They
were crossing the Cunene river, which
is the boundary between the Portu-
guese and German possess ions, when
the Cuanhamss surprised them from
ambush ct night. The tribesmen az.
tackled feroely, killing or woundipg
254 Of the detachment, Of whom 1909
were Europeans and las natives.
Among the dead are fifteen commits
stoned and thirteen non. commission
officers. The main column came mp
later and engaged the Cusnhamas.
The result is not stated, but IL 10 an.
nouuced that the column is safe.
The unrest of the Cuanhamas IL
doubtless connected with the revolt
of the Herreros, which the Germans
can not suppress.

SPEAKS OF JUDGE PARKER

indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 7.-Secretary
of War Taft and Senator Beveridge were
speakers last night at the closing meet
ing held in connection with the conven-
ton of the national republican league.
Secretary Taft was the first speaker.
lie devoted substantially all his speech
to the issues respecting the Philippine
Islands. He dwelt at some length on the
situation in which the United States,
without fault, found itself, after the
protocol with Spain was signed, saying
that there was mo other course for the
United States to take, other than to as
sumo sovereignty of the islands" He
described the plan of education intro
duced into the islands and cited Stats
tics showing constantly increasing at
tendance at schools. He also described
the municipal and provincial govern
ments, the judiciary and the material
Improvements in the islands.
in reaching the present conditions
in the islands," he said, 'the admins
tration has encountered the constant
opposition of the democratic party.
Judge Parker's decision as to what is
TO be done with the islands is as indef-
mite as upon other issues. He did not
say whether or not he regarded the peo-
pie of the Philippine islands fit for
government.
"lf the democrats come into power the
Filipinos will expect immediate indie
pendence, and failing to receive it, will
charge the government with bad faith
On the other hand, il they were granted
immediate independence, no greater dis
aster could come to the Philippine ISL
ands and it would be disgracefuf
abandonment of the duties and the bur
den which fate has placed upon the Unit
ed States" 49, iT fa~
Discussing the cost of the Philippine.
he placed the total at sls9,000, 900, and
the total cost of maintenance not tc
exceed five million a year. He declared
the statement of Parker and Davis that
the islands cost $3.50, 100000, is greatly
exaggerated and certainly without
foundation"
Senator Beveridge followed Secretary
Taft.

A MILITARY DUEL.

st. Petersburg, Oct. IA tactical
duel Of the highest interest is now pro-
ceeding in Manchuria. The Russians
are trying TO draw the japanese into a
battle ON the Lun-Lo, ON which river
Gen. kuopatkin's forces have a conve-
nient natural line Of defence. The Jap
anese are straining TO get sufficient
number Of troops round through the
mountains to force the Russians back To
Tie Ling. which place is on uneven
ground, more suitable to the islanders.
Another source Of Russian supplies has
been cut off. the Sin-Min-Tin road be-
ing no longer passable, owing to the
large number of Chungchuses therea-
bouts
Gen. Vallcchko, constructor of the for
tifcations at Port Arthur and Of nearly
all those in Manchuria, in an interesting
interview in the Novoe Nremya says;
The further retreat Of our army to Tie
Ling appears quite uncalled for. Our
forces are being rapidly concentrated and
reinforced. In the immediate future the
Russian army will take the offensive
along the whole front"
lie admits that the loss of the water
works at Port Arthur is a severe blow.

Arriving at a Verdict.

Kushequa, Pa, Aug. 1.-(SpeciaD
In this section Of Pennsylvania there
is a growing belief that for such Kid
ney Diseases as Rheumatism and Lame
Back there is only one sure cure and
that is Dodd's Kidney Pills. This be-
lief grows from such cases as that of
Mrs. NJ. L. Dawson Of this place. She
tells the story herself as follows:
81 have suffered from rheumatism
for thirty years and find that Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done me more good
than any medicine l have ever taken.
l was also bothered with Lame Back
and l can only say that my back hasn't
bothered me since | took DoGd's Kid
ney Pills"
Considering that Mrs. Dawson only
took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills,
the result would be considered wonder
full were it not that others are reporting
similar results daily. Kushequa is fast
arriving at q verdict that "Dodd's Kid
ney Pills are the one sure cure for
Rheumatism"

AS eggs sometimes vary in size, a

on a wire sieve and serve with lettuce
