f few Days' Brew
of Deadly
Uric Acid.
In a few days you brew enough uric acid
In your own body to produce death.
Your kidneys are your only salvation.
Because when they are well , they filter out
this deadly poison.
So , when your kidneys are sick , you can
understand how quickly your entire body Is
affected , nnd how every organ seems to fall
t . , do Its duty.
They are all being slowly poisoned.
Uric ncld poison irritates the nerves , and
causes rhemuntlc pains In Joints , muscles
and limbs , headache , backache , stomach and
liver trouble , shortness of breath , heart
trouble , dizziness , nervousness , Irritability ,
lassitude , loss of ambition , weakness nnd
wasting away.
Red brick dust and similar sediments In
the urlno ore also caused by various salts of
uric add.
The euro for these troubles Is Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Hoot , the great kidney romedy.
It Instantly relieves the congested , over
worked kidneys , and gradually brings them
back to health.
Healthy kidneys keep down the excess of
urio acid , and you socxi feel the benefit In
new health and strength.
Swamp-Root imauld at once be taken upon
tha least sign of Ill-health. It will make
you well and Is for tale the world over In
bottles of two sizes and two prices , fifty-cent
and one-dollar.
Swamp-Root Is used In the leading hos
pitals ; recommended by skillful phyelclann
In 'their- private practice ; nnd Is taken by
doctors themselves who have kidney ail
ments , because they recognize In it the
greatest and most successful remedy for
kldaey and bladder troubles.
To prove Its wonderful efHcaey , send your
name and address to Dr. Kilmer & Co. , Bins-
hamton , N , Y. , mentioning The Omaha MornIng -
Ing Bee , when you will receive , free of all
charge , a tmmple bottle of Swamp-Hcot and
a valuable book , by mall , prepaid. This
book cciitalns many of the thousands upon
thousands of testimonial letters received
Iroin men and women cured ,
ago and gave him orders to remove the
sheep he was herding out of that part of
the country. No attention was paid to the

Hun recclvs.l from Hello , Island of 1'nnay ,
say that at 1 o'clock on the evening of
Sunday , Novomtcr 26 , the Eighteenth rcg-
Imcnt encountered an entrenched force of
the enemy at Pavla , who opened a heavy
lire. The leading battalion replied and after
several volhys the Nineteenth flanked the
Filipinos , driving them out of their trenches.
The enemy retreated to the mountains. At
the beginning of the fight one captain and
one private of the Eighteenth were killed ,
Mill-Arthur nt llnj niulicinu.
General MicArthur Is now In Bayambong
preparing to sweep the country on both
sides of the Monlla-Dagupau railroad. Gen
eral Wheaton Is at San Fabian and Gen
eral Lawton at Taytig.
A cordon from San Fabian to San Isldro
covers all the roads and occupies all the
towns on the line. The American policy
Is to prevent any more Insurgents escaping
to the north and to force them toward the
country west of the railroad.
Major March , with a battalion of tha
Thirty-third infantry , occupies Vlgan , hav
ing made a forced march from San Fabian.
The remainder of the regiment Is on the
way. General Young , with a handful of
cavalry and the Macabcbcs , Is In Vlgan and
Lieutenant Colonel Howse , with four deci
mated companies of the Thirty-fourth In
fantry , barefooted , Is struggling toward
Vlgan and Allga. When last reported ho
A\as within fifteen miles of his destination.
There are 5,000 Spanish prisoners In Abra
province , whoso release through the military
operations is expected soon. It Is learned
that Agulnaldo had a largo amount of stores
at Bayambong , province of Ncuva Vlzcaya ,
which General Lawton's troops have prob
ably captured.
The steamer Francisco Heyes has taken a
cargo of supplies to Dagupan where a base
will bo established. Hospitals have been
equipped at San Isldro , Cobanatuan and
Tayug.
Many of the troops arc suffering from ex
haustion , fever or dysentery and are In need
of hospital treatment.
Captain Fowler's march after General
Alejandrlno's brigade with one company of
the Thirty-third regiment was one of the
bravest Incidents of the war. The company
left Dagupan alone , under orders to locate
the enemy. Captain Fowler had been warned
by the natives that he and his men would
be exterminated. The guides deserted them
before Mangatarom ( or Mangalaron ) was
reached. All Alejandrlno's artillery v.-as
focused on tbe main street along which the
Americans advanced. The guns were manned
by Spaniards wno earn artcrwara tnnt tuey
had fired over the heads of the Americans ,
as they desired that the latter should win ,
hoping thus to gain their own freedom. In
the terrified temper of the insurgents , who
run at the sight of an American , a single
company might go anywhere in the north
now , according to Captain Fowler.
Only Helaiii OlllccrM.
No prisoners except officers and civil
leaders are retained by the Americans. Their
policy Is to release .all others almost Im
mediately. Major Johnston ojt General Mac-
Arthur's staff brought'here by special train ,
Churibrlan , secretary of the treasury in the
so-called Filipino government , and Marianl
Lin Gap , a Chinese half-breed , director of
railways and postofflcee , both of whom sur
rendered In Bayambong with their families
and servants. Their goods filled four cars.
Churibrlan maintained that civilians went
exempt from Imprisonment and he was
deeply chagrined when he found himself
placed Incommunicado with Buencamlno.
Major Ortez of the last Filipino commls-
slon to General Otis is a harmless character ,
I
a kind of burlesque soldier , nnd the Ameri
can officers to whom ho surrendered have
declined to imprison him. Ho yearns to pose
as a martyr ln > Manila.
Agulnaldo's mother has arrived here and
has been given shelter by Senor Legarde , a
prominent amlgo who was secretary of the
treasury before the outbreak and who re
signed when It came. It seems that Bucnca-
inlno's party took refuge In a bandit village
which had offered Agulnaldo an asylum , in
tending to sell him to the Americans. The
bandits assassinated half of Bueucamlno's
guard and prepared to keep Agulnaldo's
mother for ranoom.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 30. A d.'spatcb to
the Navy department from Admiral Watson
at Manila received today gives additional

WASHINGTON. Nov. 30. The quartermaster -
master general has received a detalleJ re
port by telegraph from Lieutenant Colonel
O. F. Long , In charge of the transport serv
ice at Han Francisco , on the transoit
Manauense , which arrived at Manila re
cently after undergoing frightful luidshlps
In a Pacific typhoon. The report , which was
requested because of the staU'ments of the
uuntncEs of the vessel for transport serv
ice , is as follouH :
"SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 29. In reference
to your telegram today , transport Manaurnso
sailed October 25 for Manila , via Honolulu.
Its capacity was twenty-eight officers and
MO enlisted men. It carried seventeen offi
cers and 380 enlisted men. li was Inspected
by Captain Metcalf , surveyor of Lloyds'
Register , who officially reported vessel In
good order and condition when It loft thin
port both In hull and machinery. It IE
classed 'A No. 1 , star one , ' Lloyds. Also
was thoroughly Inspected hero by Treasury
department Inspector of hulls and boilers ,
who reported It In excellent condition. Ofil-
clal reports of these officers are on file and
recorded.
"Treasury officials would not allow any
unseaworthy hlp , whether government or
otherwise , to leave port , would not grunt
clearance , consequently expert opinion pro
nounced Manauense perfectly seaworthy. U
wai provided with all HfO'taving apparatus ,
even more than Treasury department regu-
latlins required. Ha crew under ordinary
circumstances numbers thirty-two men. It
actually carried from San Francisco a crew
of forty-nine men , which fully met require-
! rrfnts of treasury officials. It carried fifty
flvo days' provisions for 400 enlisted men
nnd provisions for crew and army officials
for 160 day * . Besides It had In Its Jiold
W)0 ) tons measurement of bacon , flour , canned
gords and other commissary supplier.
The .Manauense was also thoroughly In
spected by Colonels GArlln ton and Maus ,
Inspectors generals , and by Captain Barne-
son , marine superintendent , and by other
transport officials. Lieutenant Colonel
Hnjrs also frequently Inspected transport
previous to departure. All expressed them
selves thoroughly satisfied with every ar
rangement and provision made here. The
ship made Lloyd's requirements , which are
the hlghret known among shipping people.
This In itself should bo a sufficient
guaranty of seaworthiness. The vessel
made nn average ppccd of ten knots from
Honolulu to Manila. Had Its machinery
been seriously Impaired It could not have
| nadc the distance In the time It did. I be-
j lleve , and all our officers connected with
Mho transport service , that when the vcseel
I left hero It was perfectly seaworthy and
fully manned nnd provisioned. "
Commenting on ( ho above report , Colonel
Balllnger , In charge of transport service
here , said It seemed clear that the utmost
vigilance had been exercised by every one
connected with the Inspection of transports
nt San Francisco and as the commissary
branch had ohown the care used by them ,
st'ch hardships ns had occurred must be at
tributable to thp elements , ngalnst which
no amount of care could prevail with abso
lute assurance. Officers here had received
1 Honolulu newspapers showing that the
i Manauonso was all right when It arrived
there , so that the trouble must have oc
curred between Honolulu nnd Manila.

tion Concerning Ilnlor Affair.
MANILA , Dec. 1. 10:30 : a , m When the
landing party from the Oregon under Lieu
tenant Commander McCrakcn took the town
of Vlgnn last Saturday , It found there nn
escaped prisoner , A. L. Sonnenshcln , who
furnished the first authentic account of the
appearance ot 'Lieutenant J. C. Gllmorc of
the Yorktown , who with a party of the
*
Yorklton was cantured bv the
near Baler on the tast coast of Luzon last
April , whllo maklnB nn examination of the
mouth of the river in an armed boat. Mr.
SonnonshcJn was Imprisoned at lAbra for a
long time with Lieutenant Gllraoro and
seven sailors , but contrived to escape , car
rying a concealed note written In naval
cipher , dated lAbra , November 19 , addressed
to " Any Naval Officer ? " and saying : "You
may have perfect confidence In anything the
bearer says : The note was signed "Gil-
more. "
According to Mr. Sonhensheln , when Lieu
tenant Gllmore's lagpttu entered the- river
from Baler hirbor un'der cover of Ensign
W. H. Standley's gun , the landing was re
ceived with three volleys. Two of the
Americans were killed and two mortally
wounded. Every man was hit , Lieutenant
Gllmoro receiving a flesh wound In the leg
and his foot stuck fast , in the mud. It was
a choice between being slaughtered or
surrendering. Lieutenant Gllmoro asked
the terms of surrender. The Insurgents
proposed that he should secure the delivery
to them of the arms and munitions of the
Spanish garrison and If this were ac
complished to send the Spaniards nnd
Americans to the Yorktown.
A sailor of Lieutenant Gllmore's pa'try
carried this proposition to tbe garrison.
The Spanish commander replied that It was
an Insult to Spanish arms nnd expelled tbe
sailor , a Spanish soldier firing on him as
he went.
The Americans were bound hand and foot
and taken to San Isldro , where General Luna
ordered their execution. They were marched
jUo the plaza and In the presence of 01 great
crowd were aligned to be executed. Lleu-
tnnant Gllraoro said :
" As an American officer and gentleman
I protest against being shot with my hands
tied. "
Agulnaldo Interfered and prevented the
execution.
When General Lawton approached San
Isidro last June the Americans were removed
io [ 'Abra ' , where they were kC'pt conflned In
cells for two months. Subsequently they
wcro allowed greater liberty , but the report
that 'Lieutenant Gllmore was glven < a house
and servant Is untrue. Ho had the samo'
quarters as the men nnd the Americans were
given the same allowance as tbe Spanish
prisoners 5 cents a day with which to buy
rlco and bananas , virtually the only rations.

BERLIN. Nov. 30 With Emperor William's
return today there was an Immediate revival
of political activity In Berlin. His majesty
arrived at New Palace at about S o'clock thlo
morning and by 10 o'elock he was receiving
the reports of his civil nnd military cabinets.
The first official to be received vns General
Von llahnke , chief of the military cabinet ,
lid was followed by the pilnco regent of
Brunswick , who related his experiences In
Spain a fortnight ago nhllo on n special
mission to confer the Order cf the Black
Eagle upon King Alfonso.
All clay tbe kaiser remained at Potsdam.
Ainong the officials who have coma to see
him from various parts of the cmplro Is Ur.
von Muinm von SchwHrtzcnsteln , who since
his arrival from Washington , has been at
hla home in Baden.
Ur. von .Mil in in had a , long conference this
morning with Count von Buelow , the for
eign minister , and this evening ho gavn to
the Associated Press a summary of tlu > pres
ent relations of Germany with the United
States , speaking cautiously with reference to
comaicrclal Issues , especially the meat and
fruit questions. Ha remarked that there
wn.i n considerable difference of opinion re
garding these matters and that Germany
was still justly complaining of discrimina
tion against German sugar.
When the correspondent of the Associated
Press suggested the great difficulty of reach
ing a satlsfactoiy settlement of commercial
differences at the present time , especially In
view of the fact that the United States Is
awaiting Germany's action on meat and Ger
many la awaiting the new tariff Fchcdiilo
| and is unwilling to prejudice present rola-
j tlon.1 with Important countrlc.i before cou-
; eluding nn agreement with America , Dr. von
Mumm did not dissent and lutcr In the Inter
view ho virtually adopted the suggestion.
Discussing the present political relations
between the two powers the German
diplomatist f.poke freely , declaring that the
Samoan agreement was a cuuso of sa'tirfic- '
tlon to all three powers and had removed
a "powder cask" from international pnlltlcfi.
It was nonsense to say that the United
States still refused to ratify the Anglo-
German agreement , nlleglng that as n mat
ter of fact when ho left Washington an
agreement had already been reached. Dr.
von Mumm remarked that the American de
mand had been known' ' all along nnd was
agreed to from the first , namely : The pos
session of Tututla , with Page Page harbor
and the other island subsidiary to It.
American Colonsnt Ivnlscrhof.
The reception at the Kalserhof was one of
inc largest ana most successful In the hls-
j tory of the [ American colony. Nearly 300 per
sons were present , most of them being
ycung men and women. John B. Jackson ,
secretary of the United States embassy , pre
sided and among those present were United
States Consul General . .Mason , Senator
iMltcheil , Mr. nnd Mrs. Chlsbolm of Cleve
land , Dr. and Mrs. Norton Downs of Phila
delphia , Pi of. Carhart of Ann Arbor , Dr.
Dickie Hammond of Cornell and Prof. Stev
ens of Yale.
Prof. Stevens made the only speech ,
dwelling on the debt Americans owe to
German science , as testified by the number
of American students In Berlin. He raised
n cheer by adding that , while recognizing
Its debt to Germany , America could not for
got the ties binding it to England.
"We are England's loyal daughter , " he
said , "despite the fact that she has not
always treated us as a mother should a
child , although later she made ample repara
tion. "
During the banquet , and on the suggestion
of Mr. Jackson , a dispatch was sent to Pres
ident McKlnley assuring him of the "loyally
and sympathy of the exiles. "
A similar dispatch was sent to Ambassador
White at Alasslo , Italy.
The Berliner Taggeblatt In a double-
leaded paragraph thin evening says :
"On account of the unsatisfactory con
dition of the textile trade with America
several traders have decided to erect mills
In the United States. "

are good for ailments arising from tha kid
neys. The vast number of people In this
city who have testified to the merlta of
Kld-ne-olds Is sufficient proof that none of
our claims are false.
