All Efforts to Entrap Them Have
Been In Vain.?Not a Very Bright
Outlook for the Errlv Ending of
the War.
N. Y. World.
One of the strongest organs of imperialism
publishes this dispatch
from Washington:
The commissioners admit in their
dispatches to the State department,
that all efforts to corral the insurgents
and capture any considerable
body of them have failed because of
their knowledge of the country, and
their ability to see through the lines
the Americans endeavor to draw
about.
Gen. Olis in bis dispatch to the
war department Sunday says:
Terrific heat yesterday enabled a
majority of the insurgents to escape
in scattered organizations south and
westward, which they effected during
the evening and night.
And the Associated Press dispatch
from Manila says:
The insurgents have s^ain proved
their facility as dodger?, between
3,000 and 4,000 warriors who seemed
destined to be captured having disappeared,
the majority sliding away
under cover of the night, after fight
ing the Americans all day. S:>ma
others came .to meet our troops with
protestations of friendship.
These presentments, all official, fix
attention directlv upon a most im
poitant factor in the Philippine campaign.
* Although our troops have
routing the Filipinos almost
every day for 127 days, they have
. succeeded in making prisoners of
only such Filipinos as were too desperately
wounded to escape.
Putting aside the considerations of
climate upon which General Oiis
touches, there still remains this group
of facts: The Filipino fights until
he is in danger of capture. If he
cannot escape he hides his gun and
pretends to be a non-combatant.
And there is no way of proving that
he is net telliDg the truth, because
the whole country is filled with men j
of his race, some of whom are fight- |
iDg and some of whom are peaceful,
but all of whom are united by race

isolate the insurgents and administer
crushing defeat.
Manila, June 10, 5:45 p. us.?After
cutting the railroad and telegraph
at Apalit, sc-ven miles north, for the
purpose of severing connection, the
rebels attacked Gen. MacArthur's
lines at San Fernando at 1:30 this
morning. They met with an unexpectedly
war in reception and were
repulsed with a loss of 75 killed, 30
prisoners and many wound, d.
The rebels* force is estimated to
have been numbered 5,000 men.
They advanced stealthily frcm the
jungle north cf the city and t'utn
divided with the evident purpose of
surrounding the Americans. The
outposts of the Iowa regiment discovered
the enemy and retired to
their lines, where the entire division
awaited ia an entrenched position.
The Iowa regiment received the first
shock of the attack. Reserving their
fire until the enemy was within G;)0
yards, the first volicy of the Ame:icans
hit the rebels, who returned the
fire wildly, the rest cf the line failing
to advance. The Americans, who
thoroughly enjoyed the novelty of
the situation awaiting an attack,
sallied forth, and the insurgents j
thereupon turned and fled into the
jungle- Our loss was 14 men
wounded, and the majority of them
are only slightly hurt.
A Spanish officer who has been a
prisoner in the hands of the rebels,
and who was released by Aguinaldo,
has cc-me through our lines to Manila
He claims to have been a witness of
the assassination of Gen. Luna.
According to his sfory, the relations
between the two Filipino lead- j
ers had been strained to the breaking '
point because of Luna's attempts to j
assume control of sffiirs, and the }
fiDal rupture was forced by Aguinaldo
issuing secret orders to the provincial
governments.
Luna thereupon notified Aguiual- |
do, demanding copies of the documents,
and Aguinaldo replied curtly
that Luna was a general of the army
and that the civil government did
not concern him. Luna, on opening
the reply at his headquarters, in the j
presence of his officers, exclaimed
holy: "He will be dead tomorrow.'"'
One officer, who was fiiendly to
Aguiraldo hastened to warn him,
and Aguinaldo called together 20
trusted soldiers, fellow townsmen of
his, and stationed them around his
with instructions to kill any
one attempting to enter, regardle^g
of rank.
Luna appeared the next day and
saw Aguinaldo at the window.. A
member of the guard said: "Aguinaldo
has gone to inspect troops."1
Luna then exclaimed, "You are a
liar,1' drew his revolver, struck the
guard and tried to force an entrance
into the bouse. Before he could use
his revolver one of the guards bayonetted
him, another shot him in the
back and others stabbed him. In
all he had 20 wounds. Luna's aidedecamp
was killed in the same way.
The Spaniard's story has not entirely
dispelled the doubts of Luna's
death, and bets that he his is still alive
are frequently made at the clubs.
Some people think Aguinaldo has
taken pains to send the Spaniards
here with his story for the furtherance
of some diplomatic scheme,

Since the Americans withdrew
from Candaba recently the rebels
have returned and have wreaked
upon those who befriended the Americans.
They slaughtered the natives
who surrendered the town, and displayed
their heads on poles and in
the public square.
The hostile natives of Cebu are
more menacing. Mail advices say
hostilities against the Americans
have begun there. Col. Hamer, the
American commander, has asked for
re-enforcements, and four companies
c-f the Tennessee regiment have been
sent to him from Iloilo. The Nebraska
regiment has been ordered to
sail for home early next week.

Down East Curiosity.
I
It takes a down east man to ask
questions; but once in awhile one of
them finds bis match. Jonathan
overtook a gentleman who was traveling
on horseback, notwithstanding
the fact that he had lost one leg.
His curiosity was awakened, as be j
I rode alongside of him, to know how
! he chanced to meet with such a misfortune.
"Been in the army, I guess?" was
the anxious icqury.
' Never was in the array in my
life," the traveler returned.
' Fit a duel, p'haps?"
"Never fought a duel, sir."
"Horse throwed you off, I guess,
or something of that sort?"
"No, sir, nothing of the kind."
Johnatban tried various dodges,
but all fo no effect. At last, almost
out of patience, he determined on a
direct inquiry as to the nature of the
accident by which the gentleman had
come to lose his leg.
"I will tell you," said the traveler,
"on condition that you will promise
not to ask me another question."
"Agreed, agreed!" exclaimed the
eager listuer joyfully.
"Well, sir," remarked the gentleman,
"it was bit off!"
"Bit off!" cried Jonathan. "Waal,
I declare; I'd just like to know, pow|
erful well, what on arth bit it off!"

! Plucky Mrs. Laiimer Was the Jlcro- '
j ine of an Exciting Adventure With j
the Bloodthirsty Sioux In Wyom j
ing Territory In 18G1.
Philade.'pLii Times.
While in Washington one day I J
saw come out of the department of i
justice a woman of attractive appear- j
ance. As she paused a moment on j
the step and looked with Lriget, ob- !
i servant eyes over at the White House
j and along Pennsylvania avenue, she
presented a picture of comfortable,
I placid middle age. One of the attorneys
from the Indian depredaI
tion claims department accompanied
her to the door, and after she bade
I
him goodby he said:
''That woman is Mrs. Sarah L
Larimer of Nebraska, and she is i
making her yearly vi?it to Washing- j
too. When at the capital, she |
j always calls on her friends in the j
department of justice. The files of
Indian depredation claims contain no
more romantic and thrilliDg incidents
than those which relate the early
life of Mrs. Larimer. Those who
meet her now as a woman of the
| present day, quite abreast of the
times in which she lives, interested
in all public questions and full of
kindly sympathies, can scarcely real- i
ize that in her youth she was the
heroine of a regular 'dime novel'
story of the plains.
"In 1SGI Lieutenant Larimer, who
I had just been honorably discharged
! from the Union army, left his homo
in Kansas, accompanied by his young
wife and little child, to cross the
j plains for the restoration of his
health, which had given out- through
hard service in the war. They were
in company with several other travelers
and had with them valuable personal
belongings, consisting of several
wagons and horses, expensive clothing,
family jewels, a complete photographic
outfit and nearly $1,000 in
money. "When in Wyoming territory
they were surprised by a band of
Sioux Indians, who murdered three
of the party, wounded two, Lieutenant
Larimer being one of the wounded,
and captured Mrs. Larimer and
her child. The Indians took the
woman and child to their camp,
about 70 miles from the spot where
they had attacked the travelers.
4 A day or two after the attack
news came to the Eleventh cavalry,
stationed at Fort Laramie, Wy., that
the Sioux had attacked travelers on
the emigrant road and had earned
Mrs- Larimer and her child into captivity.
Lieutenant Larimer had
been found, nearly dead from arrow i
wound3 and distracted at the fate |
which had befallen his wife and j
baby. The officers of the Eleventh
immediately moved part of their
command up the Platte river and obtained
further information as to
where the raid had taken p'ace.
They were about to move against the
Indians with a force of two companies
when Mrs. Larimer came crawling
into camp, carrying her child in
her arms. Their condition was deplorable.
She and the child were
j nearly famished. As soon as Mrs.
Larimer was able she gave a detailed
account of the position of the Indians,
their plans and movements,
their designs against the commind
which they knew would be moving
against them, their numbers and the
- * ? . * i i
| ambuscades wDu-n moy nau prepared.
Her information was so valuable
that the officers were able to
thwart the designs of the Indians,
not only against the pursuing troops,
but agaiust exposed points and
trains that were on tbe emigrant
road.
''The officers found the information
Mrs. Larimer gave as to tbe
i po.-ition and movements of the In!
dians to be exactly as she had said
| and marveled at the powers of obi
servalion and clearness of memory
I which had endured through the
i hours of torture she had gone
! through. The accuracy of her stileI
mc-nts was particularly verified by
the fact that one of the lieutenants
' and a few of his men, who had clis
I obeyed orders and followed a trail
: apart from the command, foil into an
; ambuscade described by Mrs. LjiiI
mer and were killed.
"Mrs. Larimer was never quite
j clear as to how many hours she had
passed with the Indians. From the i
moment of captivity, when they had
started eft' with her child and hersc-if
in their train, she had concentrated
every faculty on watching for an opportunity
of escape. She had seen
her husband struck down by arrows, |
killed, as she supposed; had seen
the wagons fired and her friends
killed and wounded. She had read
of the tortures inflicted by Indians j
upon women captives, never imagic- !
iijg that one day she would be their ;
wretched victim. She was determined,
if possible, to get herself and
child away from their clutches and j
die in some other way.than by their |
tortures. She had always been a
girl ot tearless disposition, (pm-ii. m
her movements and very observant, i
She pretended to be bodily in a lan- :
guid arid almost immovable state. ;
After hours of waiting and watchiDg :
their dances and listening to their :
plans for further depredations, when
they had erased to observe her, she
found a r-b*nce to slip away beyond
the rire- " > the daik bush. For
hours and hours, through two days j
and nights, she struggled on, faint, |
nearly dead, until she fell exhausted ;
in the camp of the cavalry.
' It was a happy time, of course, j
when she found her yonng husband
alive. All they had in the world was i
gone, but after the horrors of their
experience had passed away a little
and health was in a measure restored ;
thev started out afresh. Mrs. Lari- j
mer has always been the business
manager of the firm. Her husband j
never bad his he-alth completely r~ .
stored."

The South is tending more and
more every year to become the great
textile centre of the country, as home
capital, and capital from other sections,
realize more fully the great advantage
of having the cotton mills in
proximity to the cotton fields. An
ird-Vition of this is the fact that between
1800 and 1808 the number of
bales taken by southern mills more

How to Enjoy Life.
I cannot speak too highly of liimon s
Liver Tilis & Tonic Pellets. After trying
a groat many remedies and finding no relief
I was told to try Iiamon's Liver Pills
and Tonic Pellets, and after the first dose I
f-It better, though I kept np the nse as
directed and now I can eat anything I
wan' to and am not bothered with that
soreness and fullness in the stomach. I
can safely recommend them to all sufferers
from Indigestion and Liver complaint ?

Silas is a country character, who
means well. He tries to earn a living,
and "tinkers around" at odd jobs
and chores and whatever he can get
to dc; but he work3 a good deal as
he talks, with a painful drawl that is
very suggestive of that state of
natural restfulness which his ink
call "born tired." Silas came to
mend a fence the other d \y for one
of his patrons in the surburban vil
lage where he belongs with a peculiar
air of festivity about him. He
had on a bright new necktie of blue
Japanese silk, and his honest face
was covered by an expansive grin all
the time that he was receiving his
orders. ' - "You
seem happy, Silas," said Mr.
Blank, with some curiosity, when he
had finished about the fence.
"Ya-as," drawled Silas. ''Ya-as,
I've been a gitti:/ married this mornWhy,
Silas,
-n ' e;uth have you
gone at.*. * /. V -r fu?? You can't
: support i a - it is !"'
"\Vull,v said Silas, UI ken pooty

a durn pity if she can't help some."

A Misapprehension.
He walked into a prominent store,
and was warmly greeted. It pleased
him at thfi fiftma time he couldn't
account for it. He is a modest, retiring
man, and while his immediate
circle of friends values him, he isn't
known to the rabble.
But they certainly treated him
well iu this particular store. Half a
dozen employees bowed with respect
and there was nothing too good to
show him.
The man was greatly pleased.
But when he gave his address the
puzzle was explained.
"What!" cried the salesman, "I
thought you were Mr. Blanky B.
Blank! You certainly look enough
like him to be his twin brother."
Mr. Blanky B. Blank is one of
Cleveland's richest men.
And the man on whom all this superfine
courtesy had been wasted
passed out, feeling properly humiliated.

''Did you hear about Lucy Weston
and A1 Winslow filling out?"
"No! When did that happen?
Pshaw, it can't be true. I saw them
together at the roof garden last
night."'
"Yes, it's real 1 j so. They went
rowiog on the pond in the park day
before yesterday and tried to change
seats in the boat."

half take care of themselves. Early
decay and wrecked lives abound,mainly
through neglect. Every woman should
have the book called " Health and
Beauty," which the 1'e-ru-na Medicine
Co.,Columbus, 0., will mail on request.
It tells women some easy things to do
i to protect health, and all about the
virtues of Pe-ru-na for women's peculiar
ills. Miss Lizzie Peters, Mascoutah,
111., writes: ?
4,I am perfectly cured of female weakness
l>y taking Pe-ru-na and Man-; lin.
I liave pained thirty-seven pounds
since I began taking Pe-ru-na. My
friends are wondering what makes
me look so bright and health}*. I
would like to let the world know what
a wonderful medicine Pe-ru-na is.''
Woman's diseases are mainly catarrh
of the pelvic organs. Pe-ru-na drives
1 out every phase of catarrh.
Mrs. Eliza Wike, No. 120 Iron Street,
Akron, ()., writes:
" I would be in my grave now if
it had not been for your God-sent
remedy, Pe-ru-na. I was a broken*
J dr.vn woman, now I am well."
