WAGE WAR ON AMERICANS
Congress of the Filipinos Adopts the
Constitution of New Republic
Manila, Jan. 21—(Via Hong Kong,
Jan. 26) —The Republican, the offical
organ of the Filipinos, announces
that the congress ’at Maloloa has
adopted the Philippine constitution,
passed a vote of confidence in Agui
naldo, and empowered him to declare
war on the Americans whenever he
may deem it advisable.
At a mass meeting of women at
Cavite yesterday, the paper adds, it
was enthusiastically resolved to peti
tion Aguinaldo for permission to take
men’s places in defense of indepen
dence and bear arms if necessary.
Paterno has asked for, and, it ap
pears, has been granted the privilege
of ‘‘taking a prominent place in the
line of battle against the Americans ”
An American sentry yesterday even
ing killed a captain of Filipino artillery
st the Tonto outpost. As a result the
natives’ press is intensely excited and
denounces it as a “cowardly assassina
tion ”
Another on Kipliner-
Ifecre is one hotel in Rottingdean,
the White Horse by name, and it is
kept by an old fellow named Welfare,
says the Philadelphia Call. Rudyard
Kipling frequently passed his even
ings with thia Welfare, and together
they smoked and hammered politics.
Now, Welfare was a strong radical,
and Mr Kipling, as is well known, is
an advanced imperialist. One can
imagine, therefore,’ that these were
spirited meetings. In a while Mr.
Welfare fell ill. Mr. Kipling called
just as usual, and he would sit by the
bedside and talk. As before, they
bolted politics apd talked crosswise
and flung lances. Now, it was the
practice of the doctor to call quite late
and take his patient’s temperature,
and he always wondered to find him,
in what should have been the quietest
hour of the day, heated and perturbed.
This went on for several days—the
doctor wondering, Mr. Kipling argu
ing and Mr. Welfare igniting—until
the maids let out the secret of the
nightly discussion Then the surgeon
came to the writer’s house.
“Mr Kipling,’’ said he, ‘you must
call no more at the White Horse.’
‘Why not?’’ said Kipling
“Because,” said the doctor 'you ate
killing the land lord.’ “On Monday
when you had gene his temperature
increased seven degrees. Tuesday it
increased eight, and last night when I
called it had gone up nine. At this
tate you’ll burn the house down.”

Whether it is two hundred or three
hundred millions of dollars each year,
or not, there is no doubt but that we
pay an enormous sum annually to
foreign ships for doing our import and
export carrying. To give Americans
a chance to compete for that carrying,
Senator Hanna and Representative
Payne have united in introducing
identical bills in each branch of con
gress, which it is believed will be
pushed through at the present session.
The bill should be carefully considered
on its merits, and, in the light of the
fact that more than twenty millions of
dollars are annually paid out to their
merchant ships, in one form or
another, by the governments of Eu
rope, if Senator Hanna’s bill meets
the foreigner fairly on that ground, in
order to give our ships a fair chance,
then it ought to pass

Ambassador White Gets Instructions
About Samoan Matters
Washington, Jan 26 —lnstructions
have been telegraphed to Ambassador
White at Berlin to present to the fors
eign minister information in the pos>
session of the stare department con
cerning the recent Samoan disturb
ances, and to request a disavowal of
the acts inscribed to Commissioner
Rose, the German consul at Apai.
White wasdirected to intimate plain
ly to the German authorities that this
government would be pleased if Rose
were withdrawn from his poet.
Whether any representation will be
made regarding the president of the
council, Raffael, was not disclosed, as
the German government has already
expressed an intention to repudiate
the acts of Rose and discipline him
There is no doubt felt here but that
the request of the United States will
l>e complied with.
Shafter’s Luck-
They tell all sorts of stories illustra
tive of Gen. Shafter’s good fortune,
says a writer in the New York Press.
After being honorably mustered out
of the volunteers, in 1866, he retired
to his Michigan home to resume busi
ness at the old stand. But the excite
ment of war and the pleasures of
camp life for four years bad left so
strong an impression that he could
not remain quietly pursuing the avo
cation of a civilian. He applied for
appointment to the regular service,
asking for a captaincy, I believe. By
error of a clerk in making out the
papers he was slated for a lieutenant
colonelcy, and the authorities, rather
than expose their carelessness, hushed
the matter up and let it go at that.
For three years after his appoint
ment Shafter was unaesigned. All he
bad to do was to lounge around and
draw his salary. Then he went to
work, remained a lieutenant colonel
for thirteen years and a colonel for
eighteen. Officers were jumped over
his bead a dozen times until Alger
came on deck Then, Shelter being a
fellow Michigander, the secretary of
waL*ehoved him along in liveliest
fashion. The only thing bigger than
Shafter is congress. Tom Reed near
ly always is right.

As the result of a number of experi

asserted that the rays are to become
a medium through which reason may
be restored to insane persons. It has
been found that by the rays brain tu

Preparations are being made by
several eminent physicians for a test
operation in what has been considered
an incurable case. The patient is a

CUBANS CLAMOR FOR PAY-
If Americans Administer Island’s Fi
nances, They Should. Pay Patriots
Havana, Jan. 26—General (l»mrx
intends to concentrate ail the Cuban
forces in the island in Santa Clara
province, and from there come to the
vicinity ot Havana, where he will
encamp, peaceably, awaiting develop
ments The Cubans are eager for the
payment of the army and declare that
it is unjust for the Americans to ad
minister the finances of the island
without paying the patriots.
There is wild talk of the possibility
of another war, but the majority ad
vise the people to accept everything
the Americans do. Gomez’s decision
is awaited with interest The discon
tented are looking to him to solve the
difficulty. The situation is becoming
graver hourly, the Cubans having
another grievance in the fact that
little power has been granted to
municipalities. General Wood has
arrived here from Washington. He is
discussing the situation with the
Cubans, and endeavoring to smooth
matters over. The majority of the
Cuban officers' here, acting under
Gomez’s orders, left today to join their
commands.
Awfulness of Prison Life
“The first aspect of prison life that
strikes one who enters within the
doors is its cutoffness from the world
outside,” writes Mrs. Ballington Booth
in the February Ladies’ Home Joui
nal “The man who has friends who
still care for him may receive a stated
number of visits a year, when for a
few minutes be talks with wife or
mother or friend in the guardroom,
and be is allowed to write one letter a
month and to receive letters twice a
week. To him there is, therefore, still
this little bridge between his cell and
the world from which he has been
banished. To many, however, there
does not exist this link—no friends
have they to call on them, and the de
liverer of letters passes their cells
every week for years without stopping
to hand a message through the bars to
them. Stern discipline, loneliness,
long hours of work, a narrow little
cell with just room enough for a stool
and a bed, with a thick barred door
through which the light falls
flanked with shadows as a constant
reminder of confinement—these, in
part, make up prison life. The felon
of wealth and the poor prisoner from
the flume may march next each other
in the lockstep and occupy adjacent
cells on the galley, for tcTall intentes
and purposes they are alike now. The
striped drees, close-cropped hair, the
utter stripping off all comforts have a
leveling influence.
“The awfulness of prison life lies in
the memories of the past; the dismal
contrast between home and prison
cell; the longing for love ones whose
hearts are aching away out of .each;
the knowledge that the wretched
companionship of misery must be
theirs, in the weary round of of prison
toil from morning till night, for the
long years ahead, which seem inter
minable Above and beyond all this,
prisoners have the bitter realiz rtion of
the brand that has fallen upon them
never to be removed—convicts—that
they are degraded before the public,
and will be looked upon forever us
accursed.”
Deafness Cannot be Cared.
By local application, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition ot the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine eases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh )
that eannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

pose that some wealthy gourmet
wished to treat his friends to this par

entirely possible that each little fish—
they are only about six inches long—

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and

to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co

assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.
It does not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark,
pufly circles under the eyes, the sallow,
parsnip-colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had rheu
matism, a dull pain or ache in the back or
over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to
urinate often, or a burning or scalding in
passing it; if after passing there is an un
satisfied feeling as if it must be at once re
peated, or if the urine has a brick dust de
posit or strong odor.
When these symptoms are present, no
time should be lost in removing the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the
bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage,
and sometimes requiring the drawing of
the urine with instruments, or may run
into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous
stage of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and blad
der specialist, is a positive remedy for
such diseases. Its reputation is world
wide and it is so easy to get at any drug
store that no one need suffer any length
of time for want of it.
However, if you prefer to first test its
wonderful merits, mention The Middle
