CRUISER SHELLS DAGUPAN.
Reported That Aguinaldo Has Been
Displaced by Gen Luna.
Manila, April 6—The United States
cruiser Charleston, which has been
cruising along the west coast of Luzon
to the north, sent a boat inshore near
Dagupan last Saturday to make sound
ings. The rebels opened fire, wound
ing a United States officer.
The cruiser thereupon bombarded
the town, the insurgents evacuating it.
Theie are persistent rumors today
that Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader,
has been supplanted in the control of
Filipino affaire by General Antonio
Luna, commander-in-chiel of the Fili
pino forces. »Luna is described as
being a typical belligerent.
The proclamation of the United
States Philippine commission was
posted in the streets, printed in Eng
lish, Spanish and Tagalo today.
It was also distributed in the out
side towns as far as Malolos and has
been received with marked attention
by the natives generally and has been
approved by a number of representa
tive Manilians.
English bankers here who have been
interviewed on the subject are opti
mistic upon the attitude of Americans
assuming control that indicates that
the decisive policy will undoubtedly
be successful.
The casualties in the Philippines
from February 4 to April 4th inclusive
are reported as follows: Killed, 184,
wounded, 965. Tata), 1149.
No Officers to Spare.
Congressman Charles L. Bartlett]
received a letter last night from the]
adjutant general of the army in an-I
swer to hie request to assign officers of
the regular army as military instructor
at the Middle Georgia Agricultural
and Mechanical College at Milledge-]
viile, and at the Gordon Institute at
Barnesville.
In the letter Adjutant General Cor
bin says:
“The majority of the regular army
officers having been assigned at sta
tions beyond the seas, it is necessary
that all the available officers accom
pany their regiments, while the officers
serving in the United States who can
be spared from the regiments are
needed at the present time for muster
ing and recruiting duty Therefore it
can not be foretold at the present time
when the details of the officers on the
active list of the army to instructions
of learning will ’be resumed.”—Macon
News.

'NOT TO BE COURTMARTIALED
Lieutenant Curry Will be Surrendered
to Civil Authorities-
Lieutenant Frank Z. Curry, Third
Georgia volunteer infantry, who killed
Private Leo Reid, battery I, Second
artillery, last January at Savannah,
will be tried for murder by the civil
authorities. Acting upon the instruc
tions received yesterday from the head
quarters of the army, the officials at
department headquarters notified W.
VV. Osborne, solicitor general at Sa
vannah, that the prisoner, who is now
in confinement at Augusta, would be
turned over to the authorities at Sa
vannah whenever desired.
During the afternoon the papers in
the case, including the official charges
were mailed to Mr. Osborne and it is
probable that a true bill will bo re
turned by the grand jury of Chatham
county.
This action on the part of the offis
cers at department headquarters was
caused by the scarcity of officers in
this department. It was found several
days ago that it would be impossible
to obtain a sufficient number of offi
cers to compose the board without de
tailing those outside the department,
and the war department, having been
appealed to, instructed that the pris
oner be turned over to the civil au
thorities.
A Serious Avocation-
A woman blessed with good sense
does not consider at the start that mar
riage is a role to be skillfully and sue-
I cessfully enacted, or a grand frolic.of
which she is to be the admired and
■ indulged center, or a mere incident in
i a life crowded with other activities.
She knows that marriage is a serious
and steady vocation and that the true
wife is one who enters marriage not
thinking how much she can get out of
it, but how much she can put into it.
It is this larger conception of mar
riage which make women dwell by
their own firesides in sweet con
tent with what is commonly called
the “narrow limits of home,” knowing
well that no true home is narrow
since it must give food, raiment, and
work to earn them withal; love and
marriage, birth and death, rightdoing
and wrongdoing—all these common
places of humanity which ate most
divine because they are most common
place. The way to make home a wide
place to dwell in is to bring a wide
personality to dwell in it Any home
is just as wide as the maker, and can
be no wider When a woman under
stands this she is able to keep her
head steady and her heart undisturb
ed over newspaper sketches about
Other women in which each of them
is made to do the most remarkable
things.—Ladies Home Journal.
Knew Him and Didn’t.
A young couple called at a fashiona
ble boarding bouse in the West End a
couple of weeks ago to engage board,
says the Washington Post. They
were from Chicago, and the husband
bad recently secured an appointment.
The landlady, an amiable and pretty,
if a trifle faded little woman, showed
the couple the vacant rooms, and one
of them was finally accepted.
“Now, you’ll want references, of
course,” said the young wife, after the
terms bad been fix. Then she men
tioned the name of a Washington man
of some [imminence.
“You know him, or of him, I pre
sume,” she ioquited. “He is my hus
band’s uncle"
“Weil,” replied the landlady, “I
cannot precisely say that I know him
Nobody ever really knew him ; he’s
something of a mystery. Now, I was
married to him for twelve years, and
at the conclusion of that period, when
I secured my divorce, I don’t think I
could have conscientiously placed my
hand over my heart and declare that
I actually knew him. Some men are
so difficult to get acquainted with, you
know."
The situation was a bit embarrass
ing, but the young couple took the
room they had decided upon, anyhow.

00MBZ TO BE RESTORED
He Will Be Commander-in Chief bf
Cuban Army Until Disbanded.
Havana, April 6—One result fol
lowing the dissolution of the Cuban
assembly will be the reinstatement of
Gen. Gomez, as the commander in
chief of the Cuban army, until it is
disbanded. A number of Cuban gen
erals discussed the matter today, but
decided to postpone final action until
Generals Betancourt and Dias are
heard from.
The delay is merely a matter of
form, as both of the generals favor
Gen. Gomez. Action will be taken at
the meeting Friday. It is hoped that
this action will induce Gen. Gomez
not to go to San Domingo.
President Andrade, of the assembly,
sent word to Gen. Brooke today that
the army pay rolls were at bis disposal,
although the lists are very incomplete.
Gen. Brooke replied, thanking An
drade, but said the lists were not now
needed, the way for the payment of
the troops having been already ar
ranged. It has been decided that
committees, consisting of two Cubans
and one American officer, will pay the
troops in each province.
Story of a Slave-
To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chain of disease is the worst

that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of Elec
tric Bitters, she is wonderfully im
proved and able to do her own work ”

eases quickly cures nervousness, and
sleeplessness, melancholy, headache,
backache, fainting and dizzy spells
This miracle working medicine is a
godsend to Weak, sickly, run down
people. Every bottle guaranteed. Only

Admiral Kautz’s Wit-
Men serving under Rear Admiral
Kautz soon learn to swear by him.
His wit never fails him, and he ia the
subject of more good stories than-any
other man in the service, says an ex
change. Being complimented on one
occasion on his fine horsemanship, he
replied that bis ability to ride a horse
was altogether due to the fact that
his brother was in the cavalry. Two
days later, in the presence of the men
who had complimented him the ad
miral was thrown sprawling in the
middle of the road.
His friend made haste to withdraw
anything he bad said complimenting
the admiral’s horsemanship, and ask
ed :
“What is the matter with that cav
a’ry brother of yours?”
“He was transferred to the infantry
yesterday,” said the admiral. “I
ought to have had more sense than to
get on a horse at all.”

Freak Egg
An ordinary hen, the property of
Mr. Sam Wright in the Fourth ward,
came forward with an Easter egg that
goes a bit ahead of anything yet
shown in the egg line.
It was quite a large egg, and when
Mr. Wright’s little son tried to blow
out the meat by perforating both ends
of the egg he discovered an egg within
an agg. Between the outer and inner
shell was another egg with another
perfectly formed egg with a hard shell.
This has not been broken, but pre

Perils of the Monitor at Sea-
Tbe monitor is essentially a harbor
defense vessel, and its great advantage
lies in the fact that so little of the ves
sel is out of water, making armor
protection possible and effective, with
little weight, and enabling a heavy
battery to bo carried on comparatively
small displacement, which means
small dimensions and light draught.
The small amount of exposed hull
means a low freeboard. This renders
speed practically unattainable. The
Monterey,
ment, has, say, 30
draught of water 14 feet. In smooth
water, at 101 knots, the wave comes
over the bow. At full power, 5,200
hors<-, the depth of water above tbe
stem is about 7 feet, and at. the for
ward barbette the wafer is IS inches
deep on deck. Speed, therefore, is
out of the question. Engineering

tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches ami fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one

every objectionable quality and sub
stance. and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
