PIERRE , S. D. , March 2. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The first contention In the house

The committee on temperance presented
n unanimous report against the passage of
the senate dispensary bill. The report of
the committee was adopted 1)5 ) to 37 anJ
action "cinched" 40 to 36. This action to
day settles tbo fate of any dispensary hill
nt the present session , as It Is now too Into
to take action of the two houses on nuy
other measure. The report was presented
by Representative Purdy. who spoke at
length In favor of the action of the commit
tee , declaring the senate bill to be some
thing which Impoloncy could not classify ,
tut which bad been branded by the senate
ns a dispensary bill ; that the advocates of
both sides who appeared before the cnm
mlttco had declared some of Its principal
features to be In direct violation of ilie cun
stltutlon and that It carried no appropriation
with which tr make It effective except a
warranty provision which could not possibly

The senate tangled up again on the parlia
mentary question of allowing a member to

3lvlng notice of reconsideration. This was
decided In the. morning session against the
contention , but was all 'fought over again

have'been driven out the I ! HOHS which
they created remain in the blood , the
heart , the lungs , the stomach , weaken-
Inn the nerves mid lowering the vital
ity of the system. There Is one way of
destroying the seeds of disease and
death which are an Inheritance from

gives the shattered nerves a rest nnd
helps them lo reiwver tholr strength.
It stimulates Ihe appetite , strengthens
the stomaeh , assists assimilation and
lllls the blood with the vital elements
of life.
"Two years ago , after n severe attack
of the grip. 1 was overcome with nerv
ous prostration , heart trouble and nerv
ous dyspepsia. I was so low that I
could iMt bear to bo spoken to , anil
during the nervous spasms which I fre
quently suffered , I had no control of
any of my organs. Hvery remedy
known to my physicians was tried with
out success and then my wife brought
me a bottle of Dr , Miles' Nervine. Aftei
using one b-dttlo I could speak a feu
words. At the. end of three months 1
could talk quite naturally and now I
am iiimpletely cured of the trouble. "

ing letter from Manila tells of a thrilling
cplsodo experienced by one of the regiment

Ono of the men In Company B by the
name of Schmidt was on guntd on outpost No.
1 , the most dangerous post on that ul.'islon. i 1
There are largo bushes t.n both sides of the
post for about 100 yards. This man hud
just been posted and had startud along for
the first time. When he was about half way
across his beat n native stepped out r.wl
said , "Buenos Nochw" ( good evening 1 The
guard returned the salute ami , seeing tl.e
native had no firearms , started tovnlk his
beat. Ho had no more thin started when he
heard n move behind Dim and Just turned
his head In time to save hu ! iif > ck , Lut net
quick enough to escape the dreaded ma-
chetto which the natives nil carry. The r.i-
tlve aimed nt his neck , but ns Schmidt turned
his head the knife struck him just below the
right eye , cutting an ugly gash about
three Inches long and clear to the bone.
Schmidt whirled nnd shot as soon as he
could get the rlflo to his shoulder nnd In-
stead of hitting one native ho got two In ono
shot. The native that stabbed him was shot
through" the heart and the other ono stand
ing behind him about four Inches lower.
Seeing another down the path he loaded his
rifle , but dare not shoot , ns the guard on
he next beat was directly In line. As soon
s the native turned out of the path and Into
ho bushes he let drive nt him , but missed.
Schmidt was by this time getting weak
rom the loss of blood. A corporal and a
ouplo of guards carried him Into camp nnd
his wound Is not serious.
General Halo went to the hospital nnd
lompllmented Smith on his presence of
mind nnd good aim.

CAMP SANTA MESA , Manila , P. I. , Jan.
19. To the Editor of The Bee : The ro-
crults for the regiment have been received
with a warm welcome by the twelve com
panies , as It lessens the work of the old
men to n considerable extent. This addition
makes no change In the size of the com
panies , for shortly after the arrival of the
recruits orders were received to reduce the
companies to eighty men. This allowed of
the sending home of those who had been
sick In the hospital nnd had not been par
ticipating In the duties of the regiment. The
recruits were soon at homo with tholr now
comrades and now can hardly bo called
"rookies. " The stories of their cakewalk
Into Manila up to their waists In water nnd
dining upon hardtack have been recited to
the recruits.
The day after the recruits were landed
the regiment was hurried out Into the field
about five miles out from the city In an old
abandoned rlco field. The camp Is situated
on a small hill , which Is reached by succes
sive rows of terraces about a foot In height.
After a shower the -water settles In these
spaces and leaves the ground almost contin
ually swampy. On three sides of the camp
are camps of the Insurgent army and their
bugle calls can be heard at almost any hour
of the day or night. AVe have our outposts
from 300 to GOO yards from camp , some
within fifty yards of the Insurgents' out
post ,
( ] o Share * on n IlrldKe.
One outpost In particular Is on n bridge
crossing the Paslg river nnd Is on a main
road to the city. On one end of the bridge
wo have two sentinels , whllo on the other
end are Insurgent sentinels. At this post
there has been firing at different times , but
no serious encounter. About 200 yards in
the rear of these sentinels the support Is
stationed In an old blockhouse. This Is ono
of the main outposts , for In case of an attack
the Insurgents would have to take this road
to the city. Upon the alarm at least ono
battalion would proceed along this road and
If possible stop the Insurgents from advanc
ing any further upon the city. About a mile
from this point are the outposts of the
Colorado and South Dakota regiments , ,
which arc also within easy call In case ofj
trouble.
The people In the city have been stirred j
up several times by rumors that the Nebraskans -
braskans had been attacked. These false
rumors managed to spread all over the city
before wo know anything of t/icm. Three j
different times durlnz the nlcht have we ,
been aroused and ordered to dress for a
sudden call , which never came , only to ask
the next day "who got scared and thought
we Avero going to have a fight ? " Although
several times It has looked very threaten *
Ing with the entire three divisions under
arms and none of the men allowed to leave
their barracks.
The day following Agulnaldo's proclama
tion the roads leading from the city were
crowded with natives moving from town to
the Insurgents' lines. But the scare speedily
blow over and now everything rests calmly.
Everybody Is waiting to see what course the
United States will follow.
Home Ilecomen n. Sweet Word.
The volunteers are all anxious to have the
affair come to a climax co they can return
home. The general question now Is , "Wh'en
are wo going home ? " There Is quite a
variety of opinions on this subject. Some
think March 1 , some July 1 , while still
others think we will remain here our two
years of enlistment.
The regiment Is kept busy with the drills ,
fatigue and other duty. Almost the first
thing In the morning Is company or battalion
drill , which Is closely followed by guard
mount and fatigue call. The fatigue duties
are rather severe at present owing to the
breaking In of a new camp , nnd there Is al
ways plenty of work to be found with a
pick and shovel. In the afternoon theIs
again fatigue call , followed by battalion or
regimental drill. There are no duties during
the middle of the day excepting guard duty ,
which at present Is rather heavy owing to
the strained relations existing.
The discipline Is very rigid amongst the
companies , nnd the meii < ire looked after
,
very closely , not only In deportment but'
health. Close attention Is paid to the sani
tary condition of the camp. Each company
has a bath tent In the rear of Its street.
There are two men to each tent , which
they are expected to keep In first class shape.
Each has a bamboo cot and a floor of slats
of bamboo lashed to four bamboo'poles. . The
floors are raised about a foot and a half
from the ground , so that the men may
not bo affected by the damp ground and
the space also allows of plenty of air circu
lating through the tent.
Jlerry Time * at Chrltmii .
Christmas was celebrated by all of the
companies In the .best . manner possible.
Much disappointment was felt on account
of the delay of the Christmas boxes , which
had been held In San Francisco. But all
of the companies were In receipt of a monjy
order from home to add to their Christmas
fund. This materially assisted them In
properly celebrating. Company L , Thurston
| 1 Rifles , started two days before Christmas to
prepare the delicacies of the spread. The
cooks wore kept 'busy ' all of the night of
Christmas eve and when mess call blow
Christmas day every man , dressed In white ,
sat down to the long table heaped with
chicken , pie , cakes and all kinds of good
things that ore not often seen In a soldier's
life. The boys at once attacked the contents - '
tents of the ta'blo. ' Intending scon to clear '
It of everything , but they found that
Quartermaster Pat White and Chief Cook '
Frank Reed not only had enough for dinner , i
but also for a grand supper and then still ! i
same left ov r.
After the cigars were passed , with the
compliments of Private Harry Harrison , an
I Impromptu entertainment was held , Letters
J from the company's chaplain , Rev. 8. ,
Wright Butler , and Judge Estello were read I
by Captain Taylor. After this cheers were I
given for Rev. iMr.Butler , Judge Estolle , '
the Ladles' Auxiliary of the Thurston Rifles
and the citizens of Omaha. On a suggestion
frc-m Charles Anderson that we must not
forget our mothers nnd sweethearts three
cheers were heartily given for them. Several -
oral songs and recitations were rendered by
members of the company. Captain Tayloi
presented each member of the company with
a box cf cigars , with hla best wishes for K
merry Christmas and a happy New Year ,
Now Year's day being on Sunday , the
following day was set aside by the colonel
as field day , Company L did Itself honor
by capturing five out of twelve prizes.
Sergeant William Beahr winning three
prizes , the 100-yard dash , running high Jump
nnd standing high Jump. Private McKoll

Estimates for Municipal Expenses Disallowed
by Authorities.
SERIOUS PROBLEM IN FINANCIERING
Seven Hundred People on I'uhlle
Workn Arc to lie Put Out of Em
ployment Toilny nntl Trouble
In Feared.
SANTIAGO , Cuba , March 2. A climax has
been reached In the affairs of Santiago. Tn
estimates for February have been reduced
from $70,000 to $30.000 nnd amounts aggre
gating $80.000 extended last month have been
disallowed by the authorities at Havana.
General Leonard Wood , military governor ,
says It Is Imp sslblc to estimate n month
nhrnd , nnd Enys the best plan would bo to
forward a certain percentage to Havana per
month , the department commander having
the privilege of using the balance , subject
to objection later , as , under the present
system , It Is Impossible to run the govern
ment here.
j ' For the month of March all expenditure
for the entire province must be kept within
$10,000. Even those Cubans who arc most
friendly to the United States authorities say
that this amount Is less than was allowed at
any time under the Spanish regime. In the
opinion of others the object of the restric
tion Is to discredit the work already done
hero by throwing out of employment a laigo
number cf men and creating .discontent and
disturbance.
This Is , of course , nn altogether erro
neous assumption , but the fact Is that to
morrow more than 700 men will be out of
work , a circumstance generally recognized
as n dangerous menace to public safety at
just this Juncture nnd Involving a largo
additional police force. Seme merchants
say It will necessitate the presence of addi
tional regiments , even If an Insurrection
does not finally result.
Unemployed Mny He Influenced.
, Many Cuban politicians who have not re-
j I celvod upp < Intments will , It Is feared , use
I the occurrence to Influence thei minds of the
i ; unemployed. The result Is difficult to fore
cast.
It Is significant , however , that the Cuban
extremists , who talk openly against Ameri
can rule , go about explaining how 5,000 of
their men , properly armed , could not gain
pcssesalon of the province of Santiago In
two days , If the plan were properly arranged
beforehand. The men who Indulge In this
sort of bluster arc mere nobodies , but the
fact that anybody will listen to them In
dicates the general discontent borne of
these vexatious Instructions from Havana.
Even the Americans hero cannot compre
hend what Havana hopes to achieve by
bringing about a practical cessation of all
public works In the largest province of
Cuba , a province really needing more In
this line than any other. All departments
show the apprehension entertained of what
must follow a public announcement of the
fact that all public works must cease.
As a straw showing the way the wind Is
blowing , a company of the Ninth Immune
regiment has been ordered Into the city.
This move Is probably connected with the
expected trouble.

tunate comrades , who worked bravely. The
, position of the Injured was extremely dan-
I
I gerous after the first crash , as they hung
over the bridge of a trestle that crossed a
stream twenty feet below. Fortunately they
held their position or a number of fatalities
would 'have occurred had tlie sleeper gone
down.
Tonight the condition of the Injured is
i good , except Eric Kelsey of Nevada , Mo. ,
who , It Is feared , will die. All the men who
are able to travel left here this evening and
should reach St. Louis Friday morning.

and not remain on the surface. The rea

the Hyntcm , burns and blisters causes bail
running stores , which will take months' to
heal und will leave you scared for life.
All other electric belts that give a cur

In gold for ono that don't. The prices oi
