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 Bucklen’s Arnica Salve- THE BEST SALVE in the world for Cuts, Bruises, Sores, Ulcers, Salt Rheum Fever Sores, Tetter, Chapped Hands, Chilblains, Corns, and all Skin Eruptions, and positively cures Piles, or no pay re quired.

For Croup use CHENEY'S EXPECTORANT 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.” Bears the ll® Kind You Have Always Bought Signature y/ j of — Pitts’ Carminative is pleasant to the taste, acts promptly, and never fails to give satisfaction.

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. - ' '■ ■ • • > ' —— - - Danger in Calcium Carbide- Superintendent Murray of the Bu reau of Combustibles, has made regu lations governing the transportation’ storage and sale of calcium caibide. which the firemen declare to be a source of danger in a burning build ing, because when water reaches it acetyline gas is given off.

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 conferred a’, length today regarding the situation at Santiago Afterward Brooks sent a long cable to Washing* ton. 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.

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.

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. suilU THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS is due not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and skill with which it is manufactured by scientific processes known to the California Fio Syeup Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of purchasing the true and original remedy.

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.
