Malt Breakfast Food combines the health-giving properties of pure malt with the strength-yielding virtues of the choicest wheat. Prof. W. Mattieu Williams, of London, the greatest living scientist in the chemistry of foods, in “The Chemistry of Cookery,” say “By mixing malt with a cereal in proper proportions an excellent and easily digested food is obtained, and one which I strongly recommend as most valuable for invalids as well as for strong people.” This is the finest breakfast cereal in which this recommendation has been carried out.

As he had just come up the river I took that as the best course and embarking in a small banca started down the river. At the mouth of the Rio Chico we were suddenly fired upon by a party of about sixty insurgents, who were in concealed trenches at that point, several balls entering the banca and many more struck in the water close by, but fortu- nately neither my companion or myself was hurt. In the excitement of the mo- ment the banca was overturned, and we took refuge behind {t, firing with our re- volvers whenever we could see any of the enemy. On account of the bullet holes in the banca it soon sank so low as to no lon- ger afford protection, so removing shoes, leggings and coat, I sank my revolver, and taking one of the bamboo poles from the side of the boat, swam down stream, keep- ing under water as much as possible. A few minutes later a ball struck !n the water, just grazing my head, and I was stunned when the natives pulled me from the water to the bank, where Smith had gone some time previous.

Just at this time a Spaniard, who was also a prisoner, obtained some raw opium for me, and this, with the diet _of rice which I was given, I began to get better rapidly, and October 29 was sent to San Carlos, where, November 1, there were assembled as prisoners twenty- four American soldiers, three deserters, one American and one English civilian.

J} Ottawa and Hull Facing Their Serious Problems Courageously. A dispatch from Ottawa, Ont., last night said: The total amount of relief received for the sufferers from the fire was $142,749 at noon today. This does not include the government grants. Messages expressing sympathy for the fire victims have been received from Premier Seddon of New Zea- land and President Loubet and the gov- ernment of the French republic. A ease of diphtheria was discovered among the destitute and homeless, who for a white man. Even a native had to have a@ pass. We stayed in Banane until De- cember 22, but as the natives of this sec- tion are hostile to the Filipinos, food was very scarce, and horses, cats and dogs were common food. Although the natives are armea only with spears, they did not hesi- tate to attack the hundred armed men whom Aguinaldo had at this time, and he was obliged to fight them often. Free Again. “December 22 Aguinaldo determined to return to Bontoc, send his wife, several other women and his sick to Cervantcs, where the Americans then were, and with his soldiers try to join Gen. Tinio. I was told that I would be given freedom and al- who was supposed to be there. As he had RECOVERING FROM CALAMITY. | gone on to Cervantes I was brought back and turned over to General Gregorio del Pilar at Conception.

I sent a note to the American commander at Bontoc, as the soldiers with Auinaldo had left, asking him te come to Talubin. Aguinaldo returned about an hour later and we were taken to Bainan, and when the American forces reached Talubin, Christmas morning, we were returned to that place and I was free once more, having been a prisoner two months and five days. “I was retained by Maj. March of the 2d Battalion, 33d Infantry, U. S. Volunteers, to act as a guide to those places where Aguinaldo had been and was expected to go. I remained with him urtti December 31, when, as he had no longer need of me, I started for Vigan, at which post I reported to Lieut. Duffy.
