The situ ation in the Phiipnlnes is described by General Otis in tlio following cable gram: MANILA, June "J. Aljnt jint Clener al, Washington: The result or the movements in Morong province was to drive the insurgents into the mount ains, capturing Antlpoll and other towns in that section, with n point of land projecting into the hay. They re treated and scattered before our ad vance, leaving twenty-five dead on the Held. Our loss was four hilled and a few wounded, mostly slight. City of Morong only on the land route on the hay has been garrisoned; all other troops withdrawn- Inhabitants of. pro vinces profess friendship and ask pro tection; large numbers v. ish to enter Manila, but permission was refused, as the city population is increasing loo rapidly. -Leading natives throughout the island, including active insurgent leaders, seek permission to send their families to Manila, which is considered the only place of personal security. OTIS. The conclusions drawn by war de partment officials concerning the con ditions in th? Philippines, given in the dispatch of General Otis, are that the insurgents are little more than ma-laudi""- bands which will continually deen . when the men find that there is life and liberty under American gov ernment. The people who are coming into the American lines asking protection are like those who sought protection In the forts during the early stages of American development in the west. Nothing is yet said as to the intention of General Otis to continue active hos tilities, but this is a ma tier that will be left wholly in his discretion and he will no doubt fight or rest as the cir cumstances determine. MANILA, June 0. The United States cruiser Boston, Captain W. H. Whiting, has sailed lor San Francisco, by way of Nagasaki. Japan, with long Bervice officers and men from the var ious American war ships. The battleship Oregon will soon be stationed off Dagupun, in the Gulf of Llngayen, on blockade duty. The United States gunboat Albany, one of thc vessels purchased from the Spaniards and commanded by Ensign W. II. Standley, has captured three sailing vessels and one steamer off the island of Nebros. Nine of these boats (of the Albany class) are now in com mission and are now doing good serv ice in the shallow water of the south ern islands. Favorable reports are still -being re ceived from the party of fifteen Amer icans belonging to the gunboat York town, headed by Lieutenant J. C. Gil more of that vessel, captured on April 12 by the Filipinos not far from Baler. The prisoners are receiving fair treat ment. NECRASKANS COMING HOME. Otis Cables Tliey Will Leave Manila in a Few Days. WASHINGTON, June 9. General Otis cables as follows regarding the re turn of volunteers: MANILA, June 9. Adjutant Gener al, Washington: Oregon requests to defer time of departure until the 12th; will leave for Portland in transports Ohio and Newport. Sixth infantry upon arrival will relieve Californians at Negros. Hancock sails in a few days with Nebraska and other troops. General Otis has been advised that it is the wish of the president iat all arrangements be made to give the re turning troops a comfortable voyage, and that the best of care be taken so that no sickness may break out among them. It is also said that precaution will be taken not to load the trans ports too heavily so that the returning troops may have plenty of room. In Furor of an lCxtra Session. WASHINGTON, June 9. When ask ed as to the possibility of an extra ses sion, Cnairman Babccck expressed his opinion by saying: "For myself I would like to see congress called to gether early in October. I think it would be a wise course to do this- We could then pass a currency bill, and have it in good working order long be fore the elections. An early meeting would enable us to get away before the hot weather sets in next summer. I do not think there will be much gen eral legislation of unusual importance beyond the currency bill, unless events In the Philippines or in Cuba should require it. "There will be no change in the rev w,:tue laws, for the tariff bill is work , iT smoothly, and the internal revenue ,urf? visions enacted in the last congress train, have to stand for awhile. T was ik that some kind of a subsidy landping bill will be passed, although den'is Probable tne introduced by r. Payne, of New York. ill have to acSe mod-ified. It is regarded by some s as too sweeping in character and in volving too heavy an expenditure of public money. It will be easy enough, however, to qualify the provisions to meet the criticism raised against the Payne bill." Present to Mr. ISrvun. WASHINGTON, June 7. The dem ocrats of the District of Columbia held an enthusiastic meeting last night. After manj' speeches eulogizing Bryan and indorsing him for the next pres dent were made, there was forwarded to Mrs. William J-.,nings Brr an of Ne braska a fine marble bust of her hus band, for presentation to her on her birthday, June 17. The letter of pre sentation adopted, says: "It is to adorn the home where her womanly devotion to the ideals of tho republic has strengthened her hus band's fight, and that his work evi dences the constant benediction of wife and home." A handsomely engrossed address ac comDanies the bust. IS ON i ill NRi'iti LINE. omn.lsxury Officer IC-ort on tlie Work In the I'IiI1IIii-n. WASHINGTON, June 9. Among the reports which accompanied the report of General Otis regarding preparations nbout Manila are those relating to the subsistence of the army. It appears from theae that the subsistence corps was prompt in every way in supplying t!-e troops with food. Under date t)f March 20 Major Robert II. Fitzhugh, chief commissary of the Second divis ion, says: On tiie evening of February 5, after hard fightln and a general advance all along the line, the troops were giv en their supper promptly at the reg ular hour, and during all the subse quent movements, while the troops, have been constantly eonlrontlng the enemy, either in line or in the trench es, t lie continuous supply of rations has been maintained without a break and at all times a reserve of at least two days of travel rations has been kept on hand. With the exception of two days when travel rations were is sued the issue has been as follows: Fresh beef, seven days in ten, 1 pound; bacon, two days in ten, pound; sal mon one day in ten, 1 pound; fresh bread daily, 1 pound 2 ounces; pota toes, daily (SO per cent), 12 4-3 ounc es; onions (20 per cent), b 1-5 ounces, or potatoes (75 per cent), onions (15 per cent), canned tomatoes (10 per cent); coffee, 1 7-25 ounces; sugar, 2 2-5 ounces. Vinegar, salt and pepper in author ized proportions, to which was added on days of fresh beef issue the option of four ounces more of tresh beef, or two ounces each of rice, dried fruits and (when on hand) oatmeal. To the above were added canned corned beef, ham, canned milk and cream, fruits, preserves and a long Hat of delicacies sold by the subsistence department at cost, which were pur chased by each organization With pro ceeds from savings of subsistence stores. The most noticeable features of the supply are the deliveries of fresh beef and vegetables, refrigerated beef from Australia and the United States, which would be called excellent in any Unit ed States market, is delivered on the line, frozen before them. The officers and men assur e me it is perfectly good on the day following their receipt of it, although generally used as soon as received. Men in the trenches receive the kind of meals usually given in quarters. The rations have been delivered, ac cording to location, by casco, cart and rail, and due credit should he given for the efficiency of transportation. I have heard of but one case of the loss of a meal. EXPECT AGREEMENT HOURLY. Canadians Show a Spirit of Conenion on ISoiiiKl.try Ouest ion. LONDON, June 9- It is learned by the Associated Press that the United States ambassador, Mr. Joseph H. Choate, is hourly expecting the con sent of the authorities at Washington to a compromise arrangement of the Alaskan question and for carrying on the discussion in the high commission. While yielding in certain matters, it is understood Mr. Choate has been able to effect an arrangement satisfac tory to the United States. He has been largely helped by the reasonable at titude assumed by the Canadians dur ing the past week. The Canadian high commissioner, Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal, the secretary of state for the colonies, Mr. Chamber lain, and the marquis of Salisbury are agreed on the lines of the compromise. WASHINGTON, June 9. It is learned at the State department that while a sensible advance is making toward the arrangement of a modus vivendi for the regulation of the Ca nadian boundary question, a conclu sion has not yet been reached. Ex pert geographers are being consulted on the exact location of some of the boundary points, though as far as Dalton trail is concerned the definite point has not been located. The Exchange Telegraph company this afternoon says it xmderstands the marquis of Salisbury and the United States ambassador have reached an agreement regarding Dalton's trail on the Chilkoot Pass, which has been such an obstacle to the settlement of a modus vivendi. I". S. Grant, Jr., 'Withdraws. SAN DIEGO .Cal., -June 9. In an interview U. o. Grant, jr., said that he would not anpetir before a special ses sion of the legislature if one was ccll?d by Governor Gage.- "I don't believe Governor - age will call a special session," said Mr. Grant, "unless he feels pretty sure that Burns will have a clear way to election. I do not even know yet whether T will appear before the regular session of the legislature. Certainly I have no idea at present of making another campaign for the senate, though no body has been authorized to spread the report that I have withdrawn from active politics, for family and private reasons. In any event I shall not ap pear before any special session of the legislature, for since I eoirld not be elected at a regular session I could not expect to be elected if the governor called a special session. I have nothing further to say on the subject." IJal.v's Remains Go to London. PARIS, June 9. The remains of Augustin Daly, who died suddenly yes terday afternoon at the Hotel Conti nental, will be embalmed today and sent to London, where the body will arrive on Saturday morning. The funeral services will take place at a Catholic church in London, and then the body will be sent to New York. There will be no religious services here. !xnpplli Tor Solitiers Wanteii.

AUSTIN, Tex., June 9. The cloud burst of yesterday which swelled the rivers of this portion of the stale our ot their banks and caused a great loss of property are nmcii wor.se than re ported last night. Many people arc known to have "perish d, meager re ports tonight placing the number at twenty-five. Today reports came from San Saba and Manardville, bmnll towns nine.y milrs north of lure, in the mountain.-,, saying tli.it both towns had been swept by the raging floods and were badly devastated. In San Saba e v.ht p-.-oi.-to were drowned and the tni..e low.! id reported under water t;i:i-:lir. The river at that point is one mile wide and running like a mill race. At Manardville thirtee n huur.es were swept away and this morning several more gave away into the swirling tor rent and started on their voyage down the stream. The liver is leporifd as rising at both places and grave fears are entertained that the entire country in that neighborhood vi'l be laid to waste. San Saba is located in a valley and vast traits of v.h.at fields are under water. Thse crops will prove a total loss. Many persons, according to reports, experienced difficulty in getting to high land before the rise came. The situation at Manardville is even more serious. A small town located to the right and in the bnd of the river in the valley proved an easy prey to the raging torrents. Seventeen peo ple are known to have been drowned there and there may be others. Of those drowned two were young white girls, Lydia and Amy Wells. The others were all negroes, who were liv ing in cabins close to the river front and were caught in the flood before they could make their wpy to safety owing to the darkness. The town has been laid to waste by the Floods and all the surrounding country is inun dated. This additional flood I. .is not yet reached Airstin. but it is expected here some time during the night. A forty-five-foot rise is anticipated. The big dam and power hone rt this point have been under a horvy strain since yesterday owing to the terrific force of the flood. The farming lands below the city are under water. Owingto the fact that all telegraphic communication with San Saba and Manardville was interrupted early to night n additional details have been received from these points. It is known, however, tnat the property damage will exceed SUsO.O(V). Live stock suffered severely. The river, running as it does through a moun tainous region to this point, rises very quickly and falls as rapidly. This particular rise was announced by a solid wall of water ten feet high. which swept everything brfore it. Reports from Bastrop, thirty miles south of Austin, state that several bridges have been wrecked bv the rushing waters. The loss to farr'ing lands south of here will represent an other $100,000. ST. LOUIS. June 9. A special-to tne Republic from Dallas. Tex., says: The Trinity river at Dallas be-fan rising today, but the volume cf water does not indicate any such flood as is reported from the western streams. Wire communication and railroad fa cilities are limited in the flooded sec tion and the full extent of the flood cannot be known earlier than tomor row. The town of Kinsrsland. in Llano county, 150 miles west cf Dallas, is tonight reported partly swept awav and the inhabitants have nearly all fled to the highlands. The. flooded region takes in approximately twenty counties, with Llano count:' on the east, and nearly all of them without telegraph or railroad lines. STIIL PURSUE THE BANDITS. Sheriff's rosso Is Following on the Trail of the Outlaws. CHEYENNE, June 9. The result of the long chase across Wyoming after the Union Pacific train robbers is still doubtful. Word came from Casper yesterday that the robbers had swam the Powder river, an extremely dangerous undertaking, the stream be ing greatly swollen by June floods. The posse under Marshall Hadsell was still in pursuit when the mes senger left the chase. The course taken by the robbers in dicates that they are making for the Powder river country instead of the Hole-in-the-Wall. The Powder conn try is north of the sceue of Monday's fight, while the Hoie-in-the-Wall is West. The outlaws will find many friends in the Powder river country if they succeed in reaching it, and if going there, they are evidently doing so in the expectancy of securing help and shelter from their friends. The pursuit from the time last heard from had been in progress four days and had covered a distance of nearly loO miles across a mountainous and rough country. The funeral of Sheriff Hazen, who lost his life in Monday's fight, took place yesterday at Douglas. Among those who attended wene Governor Richards, General Manager Dickinson and Superintendent Harris cf the Union Pacific. Leciwlntor Arrested for Jerj ry. EASTON, Pa., June 9. Dr. I. N.

COMBINES t'l'SH I'P PRICES. Iron Age ll-ur Condition I'revalh InK In the Trmlf. NEW YORK, June 9. Dismissing tho tradw conditions, the Iron Age will say today: The majority deprecate and deplore the rapid advance in pric es, but nil find it more prudent and immediately profitable to drift with the tide rather than waste their ener gies trying to stem it. The question may be properly rais ed, to what extent advances in price Are justified when decreed by consoli dations or associations of manufactur ers. Two principal reasons are brought forward, one the advance In raw mate rials, arid the other the higher ce: due to higher wage3. In the cruder poducts the latter do not really cut much of a figure when compared with the rise in prices. It ii a different matter with the long lino of finished rolling mill products. In the central west the annual negotiations between the lnaiufactures and the men are now in progress and the labor cost for a year on bars, hoops, tin plates, sheets, etc., is now to be fixed. A very considerable advance is asked by the men. How much or how little of it will be m-eorded remains to be seen. This tin'e the position of the men is a strong one. The manufacturers, un der prevailing circumstances, may be expected to put the added cost upon the selling price. On the top t f that they ought to get a figure to compen sate them for paying higher wages on contracts made during the last six months at lower prices for delivery after July 1, when the new wages go into effect. In other words, higher prices necm inevitable on finished goods on this ground. PI'"trs have been pushed upward along the whole line, largely because buyers have put them up on them selves. In pig iron there has been a further general advance. Steel has sold in small lots at $30 to $31, Pittsburg, but these figure. have little real significance, except to emphasize the scarcity. Muck bars are exceedingly hard to get. Sharp advances have been made all along the line in finished iron and steel, structural material has been put up to $3 per ton, plates have scored another $2 advance, with some large contracts placed and pending and bars and sheets have risen in all the markets. In the wire trade a general advance of 23 cents per 100 pounds has been decreed. Tin plate will probably be pushed up, since the men will be granted a very substantial advance in wages. Steel rails for early delivery are only obtainable at fancy figures in small lots. With the high prices-now ruling for relayers and old rails some of the roads who bought on the break last winter must be getting nearly as much for the material per ton which they take out of the track as they paid for the new rails. The railroads are determined to come in for their share of the good things going and are ad vancing rates. r" T7 tt STORING ORDER IN SAMOA. it of .Ttoth Factions Give Up 'Ihelr ilrms to Commission. . IA, Samoa, May 31. (Via Auck- 1. N. Z., June 7.) Malietoa and '; Tvjascse have visited the members of ;i;:moan commission on board the "t If -el States transport Badger, and : .-:.!:'a visited them the following day. . i i-:er of them was recognized as : i ,r.. Mataafa expressed a willingness abide by the comissioners' decision ud blamed the Europeans for the . -..Me here. The commissioners in : ed him that they had power to '.Wish a government with or with v.t a king. Mataafa thought the Sa v uns should have a king but express :i ".vi llingness to disarm his followers r:rl l.-ave the matter in the hands of rornmission. The Germans acted for the first time in many months with the representa tives of the other powers and have of ficially sent a guard ashore. The naval authorities and tho mis sion societies have submitted their views to the commission, and the lat ter, by proclamation, fixed May 27 as the date for the natives to surrender their arms. Mataafa, however, asked for an extension of the time until to day, when he surrendered 1.S00 guns on board the Badger- The Malietoans are now disarmed. The LTnited States cruiser Philadel phia. Hying-the flag of Admiral Kautz, sailed May 21, and the British and German consuls, B. F. Maxse and Her Rose, proceed to Europe June 17. Quen Victoria's birthday was cele brated with great rejoicing, about 3, 000 strong men of the Malietoan army attending the festivities at Malinuu, in tho presence of the British consul and naval officers. The procession visited the graves of the British and Americans and then marched to the graves of the Germans who were slain in the battle of Flaglat, in 1879. The Americans fired a salute over the Ger man graves. The natives are gaining confidence and are freely submitting their griev ances to the commission. The natives brought here from other islands at the time of the disturbances will be returned to their homes and all war ships wil probably leave Samoa at an early date. The chief justice, Mr. William L. Chambers, will continue the sittings of the supreme court. Dr. Wihelni Self, tire newly arrived German pres ident of the municipal council here, ha? not yet asumed his duties. The commissioners are reticent, but it is naturally understood they are considering a reduction of the admin istration as established by the Berlin treaty, and that the number of officials may be reduced. The residents of Apia express dis satisfaction at the indications given by the commission that the rebels will not be punished and that they will also be paid for arms illegally import ed. They consider this a bad precedent but it is admitted this is too early to criticise the action of the commission ers. The American eneineering staff has arrived here and will proeeed to erect a naval jetty and coal stores at Tago Pago. Judge Mulligan, the former Ameri can consul, has arrived here to con duct the compensation claims and de fend Mataafa. but the commission ha3 intimated tha no notice will be taken of the claims beyond recording them, and it is possible the commission will ask each power to compensate its own citizen or subjects as the case may be.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. 1 eafness is caused by an inflamed condition of 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 iotiamation can be talfen out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed loreyer: nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
