As be- fore, General Otis refused to entertain the propositions.

The Fili- pinos are so deceptive that the people *sitate to credit with good faith their last overtures. But more attention is paid to them than was paid to their previous advances. The Filipino Com- sion is acting under instructions from Aguinaldo and the Congress, but it is possible that if peace is arranged Generals Luna and Pio del Pilar and their followers will continue a guerrilla warfare. At Tloilo an attack on the Americans was recently expected. The Filinino leader boasted that he had 2000 riflemen and 10,000 bolo men and had the im- pudence to send an ultimatum to the American commander, ordering him to leave the and. As a result many of the natives left the town. and for sev- eral days the outposts were doubled. In addition, the Yorktown and the Iris anchored in positions commanding the mouth of the Jara River, where the attack was expected to take place. but it failed to materialize. Cable communication between Tloilo and Bacolor, which has been inter- rupted, has been resumed. e CAMPAIGNS AGAINST FILIPINOS NOT CHECKED W YORK, May 20.—The Wash- ington correspondent of the Herald tel- aphs: Distinet disappointment is felt in administration circles at the limited powers under which Aguinal- do’s peace commission is acting.

This will be rejected, and Generzal Otis is believed to have already rejected it. Unconditional surrender will be re- quired, and General Otis " rstands this as well as the officials in Washing- ton. Just what is the object of the meeting which the Filipino commission will have with the American commis- sion on Monday is not known by of- ficials, General Otis being apparently unaware of it, though he states that “their powers are limited and appar- ently an armistice is a condition prece- dent to negotiations.” It is assumed that the emissaries of the insurgent leader desire to consider with the commission the details of the government which the United States proposes to give them, and which the American commissioners presented to Colonel Arguelle: the first Filipino representative to put in an appearance at Manila. When this meeting is con- cluded, it is presumed, the commission- ers will return to the new capital which Aguinaldo has established and commu- nicate the results of its conference. In view of the apparent -hopelessness of definite results from the present conference, it is the expectation of the authorities that General Otis will direct Generals Lawton and MacArthur and Major Kobbe to continue their opera- tions with a view to preventing the in- surgents from obtaining time in which to reorganize their scattered army. The authorities have learned well the lesson that delay gives the Filipinos the idea that the Americans are beaten, and it is believed that the quickest way to bring them to terms is to continue the cam- paigns now in progres: — ATTEMPT TO KILL GENERAL WHEATON | WASHINGTON, May 20.—A Manila newspaper, the American, of date April . recelved at the War Department to- v, contains a story of an attempt to ssinate General Wheaton ms to haye e ped the attention of American newspaper correspondents ve_attracted the blue This item read: ning Brigadier ¢ Wh e away from headqus was attacked by one of his native se vants, who made an attempt upon his life.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH. | the rawhide struck the bare skin. | tence | the A Pleasant, Simp'e but Safe and Ei- | feetu I Cure Yoo It. | Catarrh of the stomach has long been | considered the next thing to incurable. The usual symptoms are a full or bloat- | ing sensation after eating, accompanied | with sour or watery uisings, a formation | of gases causing a vressure on the heart and lungs, and difficult breathing; head- | aches, fickle appetite, nervousness and a | generally played out, ianguid feeling. | There is often a foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue, and if the intérior of the stomach could be seen it would show a | slimy, inflamed condition. The cure for this common and obstinate trouble is found in a treatment which causes the food to be readily, thoroughly digested before it has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucous surface of the stomach. To secure prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do and when normal digestion is secured the catarrhal condition will| have disappeared. | According to Dr. Harlanson the safest and best treatment is to use after each meal a tablet composed of Diastase, Aseptic, Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and not being a patent medicine can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite will follow their regular use after meals. Mr. N. J. Booher, of 2710 Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill., says: “Catarrh is a local cendition resulting from a neglected cold in the head, whereby the lining membrane of the nose becomes nflamed and the poi- sonous discharge therefrom passing back- ward into the throat reaches the stomach, thus producing catarrh of the stomach. Medical authorities nrescribed for me for three vears for catarrh of the stomach without cure, but to-day I am the hap- | piest of men after nsing only one box of | Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. I eannot find | appropriate words 1o express my good feeling. I have flesh, appetite and sound rest from their use.” Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest as well as the simplest and most conven- ient remedy for any form of indigestion, catarrh of the stomach, biliousness, sour stomach, heartburn and bloating after meals. Send for little book, mailed free, on stomach troubles, by addressing F. A. Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich. The tablets can be found at all drug stores.

His wife finally drifted to this city. Before her death she declared with emphasis that the alleged confession of her husband was a forgery. Sheriff Taylor wielded the “cat,” and the number flogged is the greatest in any one day of recent years.
