MANIDA , April 15. ( New York
World Cablegram. ) I have just re
turned tonight from Paite on the east
ern side of Laguna de Bay where I left
Major General Lawton. The general
was detained there trying to float the
launches captured from the rebels. His
expedition has been advancing north
ward , driving the Filipinos before it.
> * The troops marching on land ar& sup
ported by the gunboats on the lake.
Every town on the line of march since
iny last previous dispatch was sent
has been captured without striking a
blow , for all the inhabitants fled on the
approach of the American troops , leav
ing the towns deserted except for the
Chinese residents who remained. These
Chinamen will be deported to Manila
for fear they would be massacred when
< the natives return.
FREDERICK PALMER.
General Lawton is marching north
along the road between the hills and
the lake , with the gunboats Rapidan
and Laguna de Bay abreast of his
troops. The enemy is retreating north
ward
On Wednesday the troops crossed the
Paghanjan and concentrated at Lam-
bun , at the mouth of the river. After
leaving two companies of the Four-
theenth regiment to guard the entrance
of the river , the troops marched to
Longas and found It deserted. Furni
ture which had been dropped in the
flight of the natives was scattered
along the trails leading into the hills.
Major Weisenberger's sharpshooters
were sent toward Pactos Ancontenca
In the afternoon. They ran upon a
nest of rebels In some trick bushes
which afforded a splendid cover.
Five men of the North Dakota regi
ment were killed and two were wound
ed , two of the former dying after hav
ing been brought to Longas church ,
where Father McKinnon administered
the sacrament to them.
The main body of the Americans
while at dinner in Longas , heard the
firing and advanced to the support of
the sharpshooters. A scout from a hill
saw the little fight and many white
coats running into the hills. The La
guna de Bay , at the beginning of the
fight , shelled the hills , making them
too hot for the enemy.
The Americans entered San Antonio
at sunset without meeting with any re
sistance. Twenty unarmed prisoners ,
bearing copies of the proclamation of
the United States Philippine commis
sion , which they had somehow secured ,
were afterward released and sent out
side our lines with bundles of procla
V mations to distribute.
Starting in an easterly direction
along the road to Paghanjan a party of
sixty sharpshooters under Lieutenant
Southern of the Washington regiment
came upon a trench across the road
about a mile out of Santa Cruz. Lieu
tenant Southern was wounded.
The Americans then advanced with
the mounted guns and the Fourteenth
infantry battalion in the center , Linck's
battalion of the First Idaho on the
right and Fraine's battalion of the First
North Dakota on the left , both flank-
Ing. The trench was carried without
loss to the Americans.
Four monuments on the border of
the village celebrate the proclamation
of Filipino independence , issued last
year , and glorifying "Aguinaldo , the
liberator. "
The troops on entering the abandon
ed houses found them in perfect order.
A few guerrilla shots were exchanged ,
and one member of the Fourteenth reg
iment was shot in the leg by his com
rades who were aiming at a Cariboo.
One Filipino was killed and five
wounded in the encounter beyond Lon
gas. This was an ambush. Eight
members of the North Dakota regiment ,
moving in single file through the
woods , received a volley from a clump
of bushes fifty feet away. But one got
off unhurt. He dragged a comrade
with four bullets in his body to the
main force and then led the troops back
to the spot of the attack. The Filipinos
were easily scattered.
Additional Filipino dead found north
of Santa Cruz swell the number of the
enemy killed on Monday to 150 , in
cluding Paole Aguirre , one of the lead
ers , and twelve officers.
Alprer R turns from Cuba.
WASHINGTON , April 15. Secretary
of War Alcer returned tonight from
his trip to Cuba and Porto Rico. In an
interview tonieht be said :
"I had no adequate idea of the won
derful possibilities of Cuba and Porto
Rico before my personal Investigation
71 d I return to Washington with renew
ed faith. The duty we have taken upon
ourselves of holding Cuba in trust for
civilization is a noble one.
"The problems are meeting satisfac
tory solution and I see no reason to
fear the future. None of the serious
questions which have already arisen or
will arise are insurmountable. Havana
is beginning to feel the benefits of
American control and the advance and
development will be enormous. I was
agreeably surprised to find so little dis
tress on the islands. The amount of
rations for distribution among the people
ple is rapidly decreasing and as fast as
the people find employment they will
cease to be dependent upon us for food.
Ex-Queen Dowager Very 111.
SAN FRANCISCO , April 15. Hon
olulu advices of April 5 say : The ex-
Queen Dowager Kapiolani is seriously
ill. She had another stroke of apoplexy
plexy about a week since , and in place
of becoming better , she failed from
day to day. Not even her most inti
mate friends are allowed to see her.
Prince Cupid Kalanianole returned
from Kona on the steamer Mauna Loa
on April 4 , having been summoned to
hasten to .the bedside of his aunt. The
physicians are hopeful , , but the case is
a desperate one.
THAT COMMISSION.
The Samonn Trlbunttl , Duly Instructed ,
Prepares to Start.
WASHINGTON , April 15. After
hearing this morning from the British
and German embassies , the state de
partment was enabled to announce
positively that the three parties to the
Berlin treaty had agreed upon the In
structions to be given their Samoan
commissioner and that it was certain
that the commission would leave San
Francisco April 25 for Samoa on the
Badger.
The instructions to the commission
ers are identical , the three govern
ments having accepted a form which
compromises the differences which
have existed up to this point. The com
mission will be empowered to deal with
the situation as it finds it in the Samoan
an islands upon its arrival. This ap
plies to acts necessary to place the af
fairs of the islands in a peaceful and
satisfactory condition for the time be
ing , and whatever the commission does
in this direction is understood to beef
of a temporary character and subject
to the approval of the three powers.
As to the merits of the bitter con
troversy 'between the representatives
of the powers on the islands which
led up to the unfortunate outbreak of
April 1 , the commissioners are expected
to make a thorough , impartial Investi
gation and report the results to their
respective governments. The latter will
by ordinary diplomatic exchange apply
any corrections that may seem to be
necesary.
The commissioners will have no pow
er to alter the treaty of Berlin. They
may make recommendations to that
end , and where they are unanimous it
is probable that the recommendations
will be accepted for changes in the
treaty.
_
To Be Mustered Ont liMny. .
WASHINGTON. April 15. The pro
test of Governor "Lee of South Dakota
against further retention of the volun
teers from that state in the army cre
ated some excitement at the war depart
ment today.
Adjutant General Corbin , when his
attention was called to the matter , was
pronounced in his criticism of the gov
ernor's action. He said the preside
and the war department were doing
everything in their power to bring
about the prompt mustering out of the
volunteers now in the service , but it
was manifestly absurd to think that all
the boys from the northwest can be
discharged until their places shall have
been filled by others.
It is believed the president will sea
his way clear to order the mustering
out of all the volunteers in the Philip
pines within the next thirty days. In
the meantime he is holding off in order
that he can give men there who desire
to enlist every possible chance to do so
under the best circumstances. The
president is inclined to offer volunteers
who desire to remain in the service
commutation for travel , pay and rations
from the Philippines and back again.
which would net them something like
$500 apiece. He is also In communica
tion with General Otis to ascertain as
nearly as possible how many volun
teers will consent to remain in the serv
ice. If he finds he can give these men
full pay and allowances to which they
would be entitled if they were discharg
ed from the service in the Philippines
and then should re-enlist and should
travel back at their own expense , he
do so.
To Attend the Currency Caucus.
WASHINGTON , April 15. Repre
sentative Payne of New York is here
on his way to Atlantic City where the
caucus organized by the republicans of
the last house will
meet Monday to ex
change views , preparatory to the fram
ing of a currency reform measure to be
submitted to the next house in Decem
ber. It is the purpose of the curren
cy committee to frame a bill in terms If
that is feasible ; if not , to agree as far
as possible upon the general princi
ples to be embodied in the measure.
Threats of Mrs. George.
CANTON , 0. , April 15. Aditional
cross-examination of Mrs. Mary Fin-
ley opened yesterday's proceedings in
the trial of Mrs. George for the murder
of James D. Saxton. This was chiefly
directed toward proving that the wit
ness had been coached for her direct
testimony. Mrs. Mary Nauman related
conversations of Mrs. George. In one
the latter told of having kept Saxton
from entering the Althouse home by
pointing a pistol and making him come
away with her.

'MANILA. ' April 11. ( New Yorlc
World Cablegram. ) General Lawton s
expedition yesterday advanced to a
point eight miles north from Lumban
and occupied Paite , the military center
of the Laguna de Bay district. They
forded two rivers and marched through
tangles of underbrush , driving a small
number of the enemy before them.
Fralnes' battery of North Dakotans
marched twelve miles from Pagsajau
to Paite. In taking Pake in the after
noon the North Dakotans were in the
center and the sharpshooters flanked ,
when the column suddenly encounter
ed a cross fire of the rebels. Sharp
shooters were moved out quickly and
a squad of five of the North Dakota
men was surprised by a volley at fif
teen yards from a concealed trench.
Two were killed and two wounded ,
one mortally. The DaKotans' sharp
shooters rushed down the steep incline -
cline and took the trenches by dusk.
The total losses of our forces were
five killed and two wounded.
The expedition is practically living
on the country. All the natives have
fled. Our forces are sufficient for au ,
vancing and driving the enemy , but
it cannot garrison what it takea. u i-
eral Lawton has carte blanche in the
movement and will use his own judg
ment. The lake insurgents' loss yes
terday was small.
Three outposts last night were slash
ed by Bolo men. Two dying Dakotans
said : "Let's smile and die game. "

MANILA , April 13. i:05 : p. m. At
about 4 o'clock this morning a small
body of rebels attacked the camp of
the Third artillery from the swamp
near Paoinboan , a mile and a half west
of 'Malolos. Two privates were killed
and a lieutenant and two others were
wounded.
With the coming of daylight the
American forces scoured the district ,
driving the rebels northward and kill
ing several of them A private sol
dier of the Montana regiment was
wounded.
Francosci Reyes , the man \vnO re
cently purchased the Spanish gunboats
at Zamboanga , island of Mindanao , has
received advices to the effect tnat the
fleet sailed for Manila and returned a
few days later with the vessels strip
ped of their guns and ammunition. Tne
purchaser's agents and native crews
for the vessels on board the American
steamer Butuan were conveyed to
Zamboanga by the United States cruis
er Boston , and were instructed to await
for the arrival there of the United
States gunboat Petrel. Instead of do
ing so , after the Boston sailed from
Zamboanga , the Spaniards transferred
the gunboats to the agents of Senor
Reyes and the fleet left Zamboanga un
escorted. They soon returned and re
ported having been boarded by rebels ,
who removed the gunboats arma
ments. If the instructions of the Amer
ican naval commander had been obey
ed their capture would have been im
possible ,
Zamboanga is fortified and still gar
risoned by Spaniards , and the affair is
regarded as suspicious.
Brooke Gets the Army Rolls.
HAVANA , April 14. The original
rolls of the Cuban army were delivered
to Governor General Brooke this even
ing. Senor Domingo Mendez Capote ,
vice president of the recently disband
ed military assembly and long promi
nent in Cuban affairs , volunteered to
attempt to obtain them from the special
executive committee that survived the
assembly. The rolls were delivered to
him on his request.
Twelve generals and many officers
of the First and Second army corps of
the Cuban forces met at Bayamo yes
terday and decided to name General
Maximo Gomez as the representative
of the Cuban army to the Americans
with full power to treat for the army.
There were 120 votes in favor of Gomez
and twelve against him.

No Cull for Troops.
WASHINGTON , April 14. It is stat-
ad at the war department that General
Otis has not called for additional
troops and insists that his present
force , reinforced by the six regiments
under orders to proceed to Manila , will
be ample. No action has yet been tak
en by the war depavtment looking to
the mustering out of the volunteers
and nothing will be done until the ar
rival of the regulars. General Otis
will then be autnorized to re-enlist
such of the volunteers for six months
as may desire 10 serve-for that length
of time.
BRITAIN YIELDS A LITTLE.
Content * to CntinlmUy In riudlng * of the
Communion.
BERLIN , April II , The United
States embassy at noon today gave the
correspondent here of the Associated
Press the following- statement :
We have- received from , the foreign
ofllcc an account of the latest conflict
aI
In : Samoa , 'the German , government
expressed sympatliy uuii took occa
sion to urge the adoptioa of. the una
nimity rule. in. the findings of the 5a-
nioan commission in order that the
German commissioner , Baron Sreck
von Sternberg , might sail for Samoa
at the earliest moment possible. The
German government urged only that
the early arrival of the commission
will prevent further serious bloodshed.
This morning Baron Van Buelow In
forms the American ambassador that
Great Britain has at last agreed to the
unanimity rnle , the United States also
agreeing * and that the commission can
probably proceed to the Islands with
out delay.
The German press this morning
yesterday's news calmly and
without comment.
The Cologne Gazette remarks : "We
need not say that \i \ the guilt of the
manager of the German plantation IB
proved Germany will approve of his
arrest and demand for his punishment.
We will not uefend the behavior of a
German abroad merely because he la a
German. "
The Cologne Gazette also admits that
Dr. Raffel ( the German president of
the municipal council of Apia ) , acted
illegally in closing the chief justice's
office , and says : "The other powers ,
we hope , will also admit the illegal
acts of their representatives/ *
, The Tageblatt calls the arrest of the
German manager of the plantation , on
which the ambuscade took place , II-
,
gal , saying : "Our consul is the only
competent judge. "
The Lokal Anzeiger expresses the
opinion that the affair shows the need
of prompt action by the commission.
The Vossische Zeitung says : "What
ever action the German government
takes it will find itself fully backed
up by the Reichivxg. "
A number of leading papers , like
the Deutsche Zeitung. Scnlessische Zei
tung and Hanover Courier , point out
the necessity of a larger navy and urge
the hastening of the present increase
in its strength and the adoption of an
additional bill for the construction of
other vessels.
The Reichstag interpellation on tht
subject of Samoa is signed by a ma
jority of the members and asks the
government for information regarding
the "events in Samoa which have in
jured German interests so seriously , "
and also requests information regard
ing the measures taken or intended to
be taken by the government under the
circumstances.
WASHINGTON. April 14. Admiral
Kant ; ' actions in Samoa , as far as they
are set forth in the official dispatches ,
are approved. 'He was instructed by
the last mail steamer from Auckland
to avoid needless collisions , but to pro
tect property and life until the three
treaty powers decided how to deal
with the situation. No further in
structions have yet been sent to him ,
and if any go forward by cable within
the next twenty-four hours , which is
the limit of time available if the out
going steamer is to be caught at Auck
land , this will oe simply a repetition
of former orders.
Department officials point out that
from accounts so far rtceived the ad
miral appears to have acted in con
junction with the British forces only
in pursuance of the policy of defense
of foreign interests. It is expected
that he will not abate his efforts to se
cure the restoration of peace and It la
probable that when the nigh commis
sion arrives at Apia it will find its
work facilitated through the suppres
sion of the rebellion.
Auglnnldo Will Not Quit.
NEW YORK , April 14. A dispatch
from Washington says : Ofilclaia aie
becoming : convinced that Aguinaldo
proposes to maintain a guerrilla war
fare which will keep the island of Luzon
zen in constant turmoil and necessi
tate the maintenance of a strong Amer
ican army there. The approach of the
rainy season , now only a "few weeks
distant , will greatly embarrass Amer
ican operations and will , of course ,
benefit the insurgent forces. A great
deal is still expected from the work of
the Schurman commission , but the ef
fects of its recent proclamation have
not been as great as the authorities
hoped for.
Funeral of Justice Field.
WASHINGTON , April 14. Impres
sive funeral services were held over
the body of the late Justice Stephen J.
Field at the Church of the Epiphany
at 10:30 o'clock this morning. The
church was crowded with a distin
guished company gatherel to pay their
last tribute of respect and honor to the
memory . of the great jurist. Among
those present were President McKin
ley , Secretaries Wilson , Long and At
torney General Griggs , the Britisn.
Russian and German ambassadors , the
Chinese minister and the diplomatic
representatives of other foreign coun
tries.
Statement Is Denied.
LONDON , April 14. It is asserted
that the statement that the Marquis
of Salisbury has unreservedly adhered
to the principle of unanimity of the
decisions of the Samoan commission
is incorrect. The question as to the
extent to which unanimity is necessary
has still to be settled , and certain res
ervations will probably be made by
Great Britain. The exact terms of the
instructions to the commissioners have
not yet been agreed upon.
The Proclamation Docs Good.
WASHINGTON , April 14. President
McKinley today received a dispatch
from Dr. Schurman , president of the
Philippine commission now at Manila.
The message says that the proclama
tion recently issued has done great good
and that the Filipinos are visiting the
commissioners every day to express
their desire to become citizens of this
country. The message also stated that
Filipinos coming into Manila declare
that Aguinaldo's government is tyran
nical and that many natives are desert
ing from his standard each day.

reason Mrs. PinklianVs treatment helps women so
promptly is that they have confidence in her.
Through some of the many thousands of Mrs Pink-
ham's friends an ailing woman will be led to wnte to Mi >
Pinkham at her home in Lynn. ,
Mass. , and will tell her symptoms.

The reply , made without ch.T c of
any kind , will bear such evidence
of knowledge of the trouble that
belief in her advice at once inspires
hope. w
This of itself is a great help.
Then the knowledge that women only see the letters ,
for advice and women only assist Mrs. Pinkham in replying
makes it easy to be explicit about the little things that define
the disease.
MRS. ELIZA THOMAS , of 634 Pine St. . Easton , Pa. , writes :

doctors in the city for two
years and had no relief until I

DEAR Mus. PiNKHAM-Kor
about four years I was a great sufferer from female troubles. I
had backache all of thetime , no appetite , pains in stomach , faint
ing spells , was weak and my system was completely nm down.
I also had falling of womb so bad that I could scarcely walk
across the floor. After taking two bottles of your Vegetable
Compound and one box of Lozengcrs , can say I am cured. "
