Manila, Jan. 2.-- The first movement
of i genera' Muthcrii advance oc
curred yesterday morning when two
battalions of the Thirty-ninth infun
try landed and occupied Cubtiyno, on
tho south side of baguna do Hay.
Two Americans were, killed and four
were wounded. Twenty-four of tho
enemy's dead were found in one
house. Due hundred and fifty prison
ers and four six-pounder rapid fire
guns were captured.
The gunboat baguna de Hay bom
barded the town before the disem
barkation of the troops from tho eas
eoes, which was made under the ene
my's shrapnel fire. The enemy evac
uated the place before the charging
Americans, retreating to Santa Itosa,
to which town they were pursued.
Heavy lighting occurred along the
road to Santa Kosn, which was occu
pied by the. insurgents retreating
south toward Silang. The Americans
burned tho country between and
around Cnhuyao.
The gunboat returned to Calambn
forre'nforcemei ts and thence came to
Manila to fetch ammunition. She
recently captured two of the enemy's
fctenm launches, one under the fire of
artillery at Cnlaiuhn, and also four
cargoes loaded with rice.
Sunday's capture of bombs invohed
the sel.ure of documents inculpating
l,(!l)0 l-'ilipinos who intended to rise
against the Americans. Papers were
also found showing a distribution of
the city into districts and a careful
assignment of leaders and followers.
The precautions taken by tho Ameri
cans on Saturday, it is now evident,
alone presented an uprising. Tho
provost marshal has requested that
two more legimeuts be detailed for
1 lie protection of Manila. Three
thousand troops aro now actually in
the elty.

Washington, .Ian. 2. it is probable
that the present month will be
marked by a complete reorganization
of the military commands in Culn.
The impression prevails that there is
to be a heavy reduction in these com
mands and it is intimated that tin
outcome will be the creation of two
departments, instead of the sic
which origiiiully comprised Cuba, and
the four into which the islnnd is now
divided. Gen. Wilson, who commands
the combined departments of Mntiiit
zas and Santa Clara, has been ordered
to Washington and it is not the pres
ent intention that be shall return io
Cuba. It is said that while here h-,
with Gen. Davis, who is coming from
Porto ISieo and is due on the, .lib nt
New York, will confer with the com
mittees of congress having to do
with the creation of u new form of
government for Porto Pico and wilu

it shall remain under American con

called Grain0. It is a delicious, appetizing,-,
nourishing food drink to take tho place ol
coffee. Sold by all grocers and liked by nit
who have used it, because when properly
prepared it tastes like the finest coffee but
is free from all its injurious properties.
Grnin-0 aids digestion and strengthens tho
nerves. It is not a stimulant but n health
builder, and children, as well as adults, can
drink it with great benefit. Costs about I as
much as cofl'ce. 15 and 25c.
