Washington, Feb. 26.—In the course of his examination to-day be- fore the senate committee on the Philippines, General Hughes, who was provost marshal general in Ma- nila during the American military rule there, told of the condition of the eivil prisoners turned owr by the Spanish authorities when Manila was surrendered. There were two thousand of these and many of them were cruelly ironed. The irons were immediately taken off the prisoners and there was a pile of a half a cord of iron General Hughes said that he had been a member of the commission appointed to deal with Aguinuldo’s government.

While you are using the Oil, be care- ful not to strain the back, and if you can you should not do any hard work, The rubbing should be kept up about ten minutes or more each time Omega Oil isapplied.

The Boers in the Blockhouse Lines Were Routed, but at Klerksdorp the British Lost Many Men ---Colonel Anderson a Prisoner, London, Feb, 28.—Following the precedent of Lord Roberts, who an- nounced (ieneral Cronje’s surrender at Paardeeburg on the anniversary of the battle of Majuba Hill, Febru- ary 27, 1881, Lord Kitchener ap- parently selected the same anniver- sary to achieve a big success, by a combined movement lasting two days, against the Boer forces within the Harrismith and Van Reenen line of blockhouses. The Boer losses ag- gregate six hundred men killed or captured, two thousand horses and twenty eight thousand head ofcattle fell into the hands of the British troops. This news was so weleome to the British that it was read out in the House of Commons to-day by the war secretary, Mr. Brodrick, froma dispatel: of Lord Kitchener, as fol- lows: “Harrismith, February 28 —Yes- terday the combined operations of the columns terminated in driving the Boers against the Harrismith and Van Reenen The River Wilge Leinster blockhouse lines, was held by the and — Eiliott’s mounted infantry from Harrismith, while the columns formed on the Frankfort and Botha’s Pass block- house line and advanced south, hold- ing the entire country between the Wilge and Natal frontier regiment “On the first night asevere attempt to break through was aade at a point and Byng’s colummsand the New Zealand: ers behaved with great walentry, The between Remington's fighting was at close quarters and the Boers, as usual, drove a large herd ofcattle in front of them, Manie Botha, the Boer leader, was killed and thirty-tive dead Boers were found on the ground, Over one hundred horses were killed and six thousand head of cattle were left in our hands. Other small attempts to break out were made and in two cases succeed- ed, On the last day 450 Boers, with rifles and horsps, were captured, “All the columns have not yet re- ported and the operations have been wide, but over six hundred Boers have been either killed or are prison- ers in our hand horses, twenty Iso two thousand wht thousand head of cattle, two hundred wagons, sixty thousand sheep, six hundred rifles and fiity thonsand rounds of am- munition, The include General DeWet's son and his secre- tary, Commandants Meyer Truther and field These satisfactory results are very prisoners and several cornets appropriate on the anniversary of Majuba,” In response to an inquiry made by the government as to the fate of an escort of convoy of empty wagons, which, according to a dispatch from Lord Kitchener, made public Febru- ary 26, was attacked and captured by the Boers southwest of Klerks-} courage. dorp, Transvaal Colony, February 24, Lord Kitchener has cabled the following message: “A report has j st been received lowa For Woman's Suffrage. | Des Moines, Ia., Feb. 26.—The wo- man’s suffrage measure | by Senator Allen, passed the house introduced 28 to 16, with six members absent or not voting.

Pleasant Green, Mo., Feb. 27.—Fire started at about 120’clock lastnight in the general merchandise store of E. P. Stone, destroying the building and its contents, including the post- office and mails. The loss to Mr. Stone will reach $2,500, with no in- surance, Other losses were asfollows: Daniel | Seupp, residence, $1,000, with $500 ; insurance; Wm. Mayfield, residence, $1,200, insurance $600; Forest Mor- ris, residence, $400, no insurance. Several barns and outbuildings were burned. This is the fifth time the town has been nearly wiped out by _ fire. May Be Impossible to Punish Brigands. Washington, Feb. 26.—The State Department to-day received the first otticial announcement it has had of Miss Stone's release. Mr. Leischman cabled that Miss Stone was suffering from fatigue and nervous strain, and would not at- tempt to move from Strumnitza to her home in Salonica until to-day or to-morrow. Now that the captive is released, the State Department does not hesi- tate to announce its full approval of all that has been done toward effect- ing the release by Minister Leishman and Spencer Eddy. The department finds it impossible at this moment to determine upon the nextstep to be undertaken in this case. Thereis reason to suspect that pledges have been given by Miss Stone and by the rescuing agents which will very much complicate any efforts to secure the punishment of the brigands. If no such promises have been given, then the State De- partment will very promptly call up- on both Turkey and Bulgaria to pur- sue these brigands to the point ofex: termination.
