CAPT. SHIELDS' FIGHT.
The Htnnd MhiIb by Ihn Man of thn Twtnty
Ninth Infitntry Acalnftt nn Otetvrlnilm-
In Force a llrllllant Eplnmle.
Washington, Nov. 24. Mail ndvicca
from Manila give in considerable de
tail the story of the rescue of Cnpt.
Shields and 50 men of the Twenty
ninth infantry after their enpture by
tho insurgents in Marinduqiie. The
fight that Cnpt. Shields and his party
put up against an overwhelming force
is declared to have been one of the
most briliaut incidents in the history
of bush lighting in the archipelago.
The CO inon in question were pursuing
a party of insurgents of superior force
into the mountains when they were
ambushed in a box canyon by a force
of 250 riflemen and 1,800 bolomen.
They made a continuous fight for
eight hours, killing a large number of
insurgents, and were overpowered only
nfter they had fired their last shot
and practically were smothered In a
hand-to-hand fight with their 2,000
adversaries. Scrgts. Williams and Mc
Carthy, who were in charge of some
of the wounded, come in for particu
lar praise. They were cut oft from the
rest of the party during the retreat
and intrenched themselves on tho
hillside where they stood off their as
sailants for about three hours, sur
rendering after every cartridge had
been exhausted. Scarcely a man in
the expedition escaped being grazed
or slightly wounded during the'flght.
The total liBt of killed amounted to
only five. Capt. Shields was wounded
early in the fight, but continued to
direct the operations of the rear guard
during four miles of retreat, lie
finally was knocked out by a bullet
through the jaw, neck and shoulder,
which was thought at the time to be
n fatal wound. The rescue of the
party was effected by Gen. llare, who
some months before, when only n col
onel, led the party which effected the
rescue of Lieut. Giliunrc and the men
from the Yorktown, after their long
months of captivity in northern Lu
zon. Cnpt. Shields nnd his men say
that they have no complaint to muko
of their treatment during captivity.

Chicago, Nov. 24. Yesterday's sen
Bion of the National Irrigation con
gress was devoted to papers nnd ad
dresses pertaining exclusively to the
question of practical watering and re
claiming of arid lauds and arid plant
life. After the conclusion of the set
speeches C. ll. Dentil, of Los Angeles,
Cal., chairman of the committee on
permanent organization, submitted
its report, recommending the election
of the following officers: President,
Thomas V. Walsh, of Washington; first
vice president, ex-Gov. T. L. Drad
ford Prince, of New Mexico; sec
ond vice president, V. H. Thurber, of
New York; secretary, II. H, Maxson,
of Nevada. It was recommended that
members of the executive committee
and one vice president be named by
delegates from each stale repre
sented. At the night session Thomas V.
Walsh, of Colorado, was the first
speaker, his theme being "Gold nnd
Silver Mining nnd the Markets They
Afford." John W. 121a, of Chicago,
followed with a short address on "A
Forecast of the Future." Mr. Kin
dwelt entirely upon the future of the
country when a large part of the arid
lands shall have been reclaimed and
asserted that, the format Ion of these
lands into small farms was to he one
of the great sources of the welfare of
the country in the time to come.
Dwight B. llrnrd, of Arizona, read
a paper upon "Government Irrigation
Works In India and Kgypt." Alex
ander H. llcvell, of Chicago, spoke
upon "The Grandest Opportunity in
the Pathway of Nations." Frederick

REPORT ON ALASKA.
On?, llrncly Urm-n no Kxti-nnlnn of I lie flen-

Condition of Nutlven,
Washington, Nov. 24. The annual
report of Gov. John G. ltrady, of
Alaska, to the secretary of the infe
rior urges congressional legislation on
the extension of the general land laws
to Alaska, giving the natives the same
legal status as the whites and the
representation of Alaska by a dele
gate to congress. The report says
that nt Cape Nome "everything and
everybody is pell mull; fhere are sev
eral claimants for each town lot, bench
claim and creek claim, fully 25,000
people waiting for the notion of the
court there.''
After referring to the outbreak of
the grip, accompanied with pneu
monia and measles, that occurred
among tho unlive Eskimo this year,
the governor snys they were threat
ened with utter extermination last
summer. He adds: "A deathly plague
and a wild stampede of hungry and
avaricious whites poured in on their
precincts and turned loose upon them
by shipload after shipload, bringing
with them the arts and accomplish
ments of Sodom and Gomorrah. It is
hoped that through the missionaries
and n change from a hunting to n
pastoral life a remnant of a noble
people may be saved. The withhold
ing of the land laws is the real diffi
culty in the way of getting a territo
rial government for Alaska. If con
gress would treat Alaska as it has
other parts of the western frontier in
regard to land titles this will bring
within n few years a population there
ready to assume the burden of an ex
pensive government, where now an en
tire population, who are simply squat
ters, with a few exceptions, are not
able to do so."

Constantinople, Nov. 21.-The porte
haft definitely rejected the request for

as u direct violation of treaty rights,
and consequently, despite the refusal,
Dr. Thomas II. Norton, who was ap
pointed by President McKinlcy some
time ago to establish a consulate at
llnrpool has been directed to proceed
to his post. The expected visit oT

Chronic Coughs

Diseases
Catarrh is the Contin
ual Scourge of
Christendom.
Catarrh hovers ominously over every
city, and nestles treacherously in every ham
let. It flies with vampire wings from coun
try to country, and casts a black shadow
of despair over all lauds. Its stealthy ap
proachanditHlingcriiiE stay makesit a dread
to the physician und a pest to the patient.
It changes the merry laugh of childhood
to tho wheezy breathing of croup, and the
song of the blushing maiden to the hollow
cough of consumption. In its withering
grasp the rounded form of the fond wife
and mother becomes gaunt and spectral,
and the healthy flush of manhood turns to
the sallow, haggard viage of the invalid.
