THE MORNING CALL.
Vol. X. No. 123.
FILIPINOS ARE IN FORCE
It ii Reported That 30000, Armed
With Maxims, Are at Malolos-
Hong Kong, Jan. 27 Advices from
native sources in Manila state that 30,-
000 Filipinos who have with them
nearly filly Maxim guns, are at Malo-
Joe, the seat of the insurgent govern
ment. The Filipino commanders are
convinced that the Americans will be
unable to wotk effectively outside of
Manila.
Reports from the interior indicate
that Aguinaldo’s authority is now gen
erally recognized. Every available
male is being recruited, and arms de
pots are being established at San Fer
uandino, Union, Trinadad, and other
large towns. The surrounding country
is being levied on for supplies, and
the Filipino troops are living on the
fat of the land, while the native vil
lagers are compelled to subsist on rice.
There is some friction between the
Filipino civil and military authorities
but they are united on the question of
independence.
The Independencia, published at
Manila, in its issue of Jan. 20, contains
a dispatch purporting to come from
Malolos, the seat of the rebel govern
ment. It comments upon the ap
pointment of the commission, and
says: “The Filipinos naturally suspect
this is a new attempt to humbug. Both
Dewey and Speucer Pratt promised us
independence if the Filipino republic
was stable. The Filipinos are disillu
sioned. They believe the commission
is a ruse to gain time till they have
accumulated formidable forces, when
America, abusing her strength, will
begin a war to ratify her sovereignty.’’
The Filipino junta here has issued
a statement in which it says that the
purchase of steam launches at Hong
Kong by the Americans for use on the
rivers of the Philippines, and what are
considered high-handed and unneces
sary domicilary visits by the Americans
at Manila, are exasperating the Filipi
nos, who do net believe that such acts
arecompatable with peaceful intentions
They believe that the appointment of
a new commission is merely a pretext
to gain time ibe junta adds that
American secret police are acting
offensively toward natives of the Phil
ippines who are British subjects

Between Six and Seven
A case was being tried in court, and
the particular question at issue was
the number of persons present when a
certain event occurred, says the Green
Bag. An honest, but simple minded,
German was in the witness box.
He had never taken an oath before,
aud was not a little disconcerted. The
lawyer who conducted the cross ex
amination saw his opportunity and
badgered him with questions, after the
manner of his kind.
“How many did you say there were
present?’’ he shouted, bringing his fist
down upon the table, as though the
fate of empires trembled in the bal-1
ance.
“Veil,’’ meekly answered the wit
ness, "off course, I gould not chust
say, but I dinks dere vas between six
and sefen.”
‘‘Tell the jury what you mean by
that?” roared the lawyer. “How could
there be between six and seven? Were
there six or were there seven?”
“Veil,” answeied the witness, “may
be 1 vas wrong. There vas more as
six, but dere vas not so much as sefen.
One vas a lery Inetle boy.”

AGONCILLO MAY BE ARRESTED
He Sends a Message That May Have
Grave Consequences.
Washington, Jan. 27, —Felix Agon
cillo, the agent sent here by Aguinal
do, may be arrested as a spy. The
government today received a message
which he had sent to the Hong Kong
junta, which will likely have grave
consequences forhim. Technically, he
is, until the present treaty is ratified,
a subject of Spain, and is subject to
the ro es of war. The constqueuces
will be serious if his offense is followed
up by the government
The dispatch now in the govern
ment’s bands says that the senate had
agreed to vote on the peace treaty
February 6th ; that the treaty would
probably be ratified ; that it was the
purpose of the president to pursue an
aggressive policy in the Philippines
when ratified, aud .hat reinforcements
sent to the islands wou'd arrive about
that time; that if the Philippines
wanted independence they would be
obliged to fight for it, and that now
was the time to act, before the Ameri
can lines were strengthened by rein
forcements
The message was read and discuss
ed by administration officials having
the matter in charge, and as a result,
its text was transmitted to Otis.
What action is to be taken regarding
this alarmist message, which is calcu
lated to incite the Philippines to war,
has not been determined, but it is
said on good authority that no action
will be taken at present, though the
assertion of the authority of the Unit
ed States may be made unexpectedly.
The dispatch is construed of an ene
my of the United States, and can be
proceeded against as such. The mess
sage he sent will have to be transmitt
ed from Hong Kong by steamer to
Manila, and in the mean while General
Otis is likely to be able to discount its
effect in advance.

Cuban Assembly Tells the Patriots to
Keep Quiet.
Havana, Jan. 27.—The Cubin as
sembly issued a manileato this morn
ing advising the Cubans to keep quiet
until it is officially known what the
Washington government has decided
to do in regard to paying the Cuban
army. The assembly says that at
present the duty of a!) Cubans is to
await the arrival of the Cuban com
missioners from Washington, with the
answer of the United States govern
ment, and not to make any display of
disgust grounded only upon rumors.
The Cubans will celebrate February
24th as a holiday. Gomez is indeavor
ing to eecure permission to enter the
city on that day with his army.
General Brooks is considering his re
quest to do so. Brooks and Wood

The Key to Panama Canal Problem.
In the design of the «cana), the
answer to the crucial question (1) as
to the alimentation of the ‘divide’ and
(2) as to the regulation of the floods of
the Chagres have been answered in a
proposal as bold as it is free from
complexity and. so far as can be fore
seen, as certain to be effectual as any
engineering effort to control the forces
of nature can well be.
At Alhajuela, lying about 16 kilos
to the north-eastward of the lines of
the canal, the river flows through a
rocky gorge which forms a construc
tion of such sort as almost to lead one
to regard it as a special provision of
nature. In this rocky gorge, on the
rock of which it is formed, and of the
rock by which it is surrounded, it is
proposed to construct a great dam,
after the style and character of that
built bj - Mr. Fteley as a part of his
magnificent works for the water-sup
ply of New York.
The proposed dam will be about 286
metres in length, measured along its
crest, and about 50 metres in height,
measured from foundation to summit
at the deepest part of the valley. Be
hind it a second great lake will be
formed, furnishing a vast capacity for
the storage of flood waters, which can
in this way be impounded and em
ployed as required for the feeding of
the canal.
Between the dam and the line of
the canal a feed-water conduit will be
formed, similar in many respects to
the “flumes” of California. It will
serve the same purpose as they do,
ard in the same manner, but on a
lirger scale —W. Henry Hunter, in
The Engineering Magazine for Feb*
rqary.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
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 oi 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 cases 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 cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Church Lout In London.
There is a derelict church in the Char
ing Cross road, the existence of which
will be news to most Ixmdoners. It is
called by the title of St. Mary the Virgin.
Desertion seems to have taken place be
cause the fabric was crumbling away. Os
late nobody has cared to own It, no funds
being available to keep it in repair, and
the public authorities have been obliged
for the safety of passing pedestrians to
undertake some precautionary work. They
are naturally anxious to discover an own
er and have summoned him by notice on
the door of the edifice to make good the
structural defects, but if there Is really an
owner he is scarcely likely to place him
self in evidence and assume considerable
pecuniary liability. The old place will no
doubt have to be removed altogether. As
some of the walls threaten to fall at any
hour the council has charged, itself with
the duty of shoring them up and will duly
file the account against the missing own
er.—Liverpool Mercury.

“CROSSED” MONEY ORDERS.
■ategruard* Employed In England In
Slaking Small Remittance*.
Americans who are buying books in
small quantities or nro remitting dues
to the treasurers of English societies of
which they happen to bo members occa
sionally receive a printed or written re
quest to use a “cross’d” order when
sending money. At flr.-t they are likely
to be mystified by the phrase. Even if
inquiry is made at the postoffice in this
country it is quite possible that no sat
isfactory explanation will bo obtainable.
The remitting party will ascertain,
though, that American ] ostoffloos do not
issue “crossed” orders.
The term in qu stion refers to two
lines drawn with a pen from the top to
the bottom of a postal order on its face
near the middle and an inch or two
apart. That treatment of a money order
will prevent payment of it to any one
but a banker, and if, as is sometimes
done, the name of some particular bank
is written in the space between the
lines the order will be paid only to that
institution. It is not necessary to use
any words in addition to the name of
the bank. No explicit prohibition is re
quired. The mere crossing of the order
is a well understood signal to the Brit
ish postal authorities, for, while the
custom is comparatively unfamiliar to
people on this side of the Atlantic, it is
common enough in the United King
dom.
When qn American remits money in
this he crosses his order him
self, but in several foreign countries the
poetoffice does not give the order to the
sender, but transmits it directly to the
paying office. The person who remits
merely sends notice to the right pergap
to go to the postoffice and apply for the
money. Where this usage prevails the
postoffice issues a crossed order because
the sender cannot cross the order him
self. Such is the practice, for instance,
in Germany, Belgium, Ausfria and
Italy.—New York Tribune.
NO STOVES IN KOREA.
Instead Flues Are I.a Id L’nder the
Floors, Which Are Thus Heated.
Stoves are not used to any extent by
the native Koreans. The Korean meth
od of heating is excellently adapted to
their resources and conditions. In build
ing their houses they lay down a sys
tem of flues where the floor is to be.
These flues begin at a fireplace, which
is usually placed in an outer shed or
connecting closed alleyway.
From this fireplace the flues extend
in a more or less curved direction, like
the ribs of a round fan, to a trench at
the rear ol the room, which in turn
opens into a chimney, which is usually
placed some distance from the house.
Flat flagstones are then placed carefully
over these flues, and the whole is ce
mented over and finally covered with a
thick oil paper, for which the country
is noted. This paper keeps smoke from
entering the room, and a little straw or
brushwood, used in the fireplace for
cooking the rice, serves to heat the
stone floor and gives an agreeable
warmth* which lasts till the time of the
next meal.
Two heatings daily tend to give the
people a nice warm floor, upon which
they sit in the daytime and sleep at
night. By leaving their shoes at the
door the inmates preserve the paper
floor, which from constant polishing
takes on a rich brown color.—New
York Press.

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.
It does not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark,
puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow,
parsnip-colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you bad 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.

wonderful merits, mention The Middle
