Dan's Review Reports Prices i

New York, Nor. 3 -R. G Dun

will say tomorrow : British disasters
in South Africa have brought to view
something besides the steady self
reliance of the British people, that
Sney hold not many Americao secu
rities to be dislodged io any time of
alarm, but as inclined to take more
when money looks for safe invest?
ment.
A decline of 3 8 in wheat and H-c
in corn does not binder exports,
though it is some evidence that
growers think they have ample sop
plies. Atlantic exports of wheat for
five weeks have been, flour included,
15,686 598 bushels, against 18,182,
631 last year and Pacific exports
2,713,551, agaiost 3,917,434 " last
year Western receipts of wheat
have continued heavy, but have not
rivalled last year's extraordinary out?
pouring, amounting to only 35,958,
078 bushels in five weeks, against
49,640,791 tast year, but western
corn receipts rou ahead of last year's
in the same weeks, and the exports
Slave been 18,684 044 bushels, against
11.558 158 last year

Story of a Slave.
To bc bound hand and foot for ye:irs by the
chains of disease is the worst forin of slavery
George D. Williams, of Manchester, Mich., {
tells how such a slave was made free. He
says: "My wife has been so helpless for five
years that shs could not turn over in bed alone.
After using two bottle? of Electric Bitters, she
is wonderfully improved and able to do ber
own work." This supreme remedy for female
diseases quickly cures nervousness, sleepless?
ness, melancholy, headache, backache, fainting
and dizzy spells. This miracle working medi?
cine is a godsend to weak, sickly, run down
people. Every bottle guaranteed. Only 50c.

The Wily Tutwiler, Where
is He?
The advertisement in The Greenville
News for the sale of a number of un?
claimed freight packages containing
school charts, shool books and school
farnitare consigned to W. W. Tutwiler,
recalls the adventures of that smooth
citizen in working off on unsuspecting
and innocent school trustees large quan?
tities of public school paraphernalia at
what were said to be exorbitant prices,
and the charge that Superintendent of
Education W. D. Mayfield was not
sufficiently watchful to spoil his game.
Nothing couid be learned here about
these packages nor whore Mr. Tutwiler
bad gooe AU that was koown at the
freight cShe was that the packages
we~e shipped here freos Greenwood and
Xioty-Sts, where they remained un?
claimed fer sis months. Mr. Tutwiier
apparently did not think hts goods
worth ?hs freight charges and is proba?
bly in some other State seeking new
worlds to conquer.-Greenville News.

Republican Paper Throws
Light on Philippine Sit?
uation.
Chicago, Oct 28.-The Tribune
prints a summary of the situation in
the Philippin? islands from its special
correspondent there, Richard H
Lillie Tne latter, which is dated
Manila, Sept 14. says :
"Here are some figures, made seven
months and a half after our campaign
against the Filippinos began Say it
is five miles to Angeles, we hold pos
session of the railroad up to that point.
We can fairly claim possession of the
land a half mile on each side of the
track We have possession of the
wagon road and, let us say, a half
mile on each side from San Fernando,
through Bacolor. to Santa Rita, eight
miies, with four miles to Guage
We have a road from M0I0I03 to
Balianag. ll miles northeast We
can ciaim ll equate miles here
" We have Manila, out as far as the
waterworks, five miles away. That
gives us, say 25 miles around the
city.
"Then we have the road and a half
mile each side down 18 miies to
Imus. Then we have Calamba and
some other points on the lake that
Geo Lawton captured before he was
ordered back. These towns are not
approached by road, but by boat,
across the Laguna de Bay, and we
only control tbe land they stand on.
'.Adding up our total possessions,
we find we have 117 square miles
"The island of Luzou contains 42,
OOO square miles.
' Outside of Luzon the insurrec- j
tion seems to be growing. The in
sargents hold ports in Mindanao, the
nest largest island to Luzon in the
Philippines, and said to be incalcul
ably rich in gold and silver mines,
iron and copper ores, and other
t?VnB?^'s, Ws\&?% ?c^ssee&iug wonder
ful forests of hard wood No Amer
icans have dared venture there as
yet, as Gen Otis has sent no troops
to the island. Englishmmen and Ger?
mans are prowling about the island
getting ali the "?ncessions they can.
It is said several prospecting parties
are at work
"Gen. O'is reports co:.?icts between
the 'robber binda' and American
soldiers in Negros and Cebu The
Nineteenth and the S?xtb ac? one
battalion ot the Twenty-third infantry
are now in tbe?e islands fighting the
rubber bands, who dig trenches and
occupy tcwos and make ni^ht attacks
after the fashion of the insurgents in
Luzon.
.'A late report from Cebu is that
some 2.000 'robbers' were menacing
our forces and a collision was immi?
nent
"The next campaign is going to be
different from the last. We will get
out of the flat, open country, into
mountainous, thiokly wooded country.
If we do not end the war here we
will have to carry it into the high,
rockribbed mountains of Luzon.
"It will be no violation of a State
secret to fay that the fir*: object of the
next campaign will be to get thc regt
of the railroad from the bands of the
insurgents. The insurgents ought to
be firmly convinced by tnis time that
we want the Manila and Dagupan
railroad, as wc have fought along that
line seven months They know we
want it, and they also know that we
are going to get it, for they are already
tearing up the traok, burning the ties
and buryiog the rails north of Angeles.
"The country east of the railroad,
north of Angeles, to Dagupan, is much
like it is south of Maatla, except high?
er and brcken. Weet of the railroad
are high mountains that will offer the
insurgents better opportunity to retreat
and escape than they bad io the low
country. With the taking of tho rail?
road, we will have cut off the provinces j
of Zimbales. Pagasican, Tarlac, Pan- I
panga and Bataan from the main part j
of the bland, and can lay claim to a 1
good deal more country than the pre?
cise amount of real estate 00 which our
army is now 03mpiog
"From the railroad Aguinaldo's
army oan hardly retreat anywhere but
northward, across the mountain to the
fertile valley of the Rio Grande de
Cagayary.
"The 'wailed city' cannot tinder
stand why the army has so muoh
trouble with the railroad. When the
officers in the field notify the 'walied
city? that the rails have been torn up
from tbe seotion of track just com?
pleted, and that the ties have been
barned and the grade destroyed, they
get an order to 'Ox it.' So, after a few
miles of railroad are completed the
soldiers have to scatter up and dowo
Lbe track and go mining for steel rails.
The insurgents bury the rails ?vo or sis
fee* deep They observed that the
Americaos located thc rails by sound?
ing with a crowbar, so they resorted j
to thc expedient of putting a ?ayer of j
tics over the rails To replace thc i
bumed ties, the quartermasters' depart
moot were foroed to usc nlar:k>-, two '
boards each, two inches wide, being :
Bailed together fir ties Tho side?
track, wherever p')*Mbl<\ ail the wi.y
back to Manila, was jerked up. carried j
ff and put down where the rails eouia j
aot he found
"The American army is badly in j
seed of railroad ties and steels.
"Another groat nesd of the army is
light draft steamboats for use on the !
many rivers and lakes of Luzon.
There is hardly a plane io the world
where ao army could use river steam?
ers to greater advaotsge The Rio
Grande, the Chico, the Rio Grande
Papaoga, the Agno, the Bicoi and ?the
I Pasig all flow through fertile and
densely populated valicys and offered
i mears to the army of bringing up sup
! plies aud swiftly transporting large
j bodies of soldiers that would be invalu
I able were it utilized.
''From what can bc learned of the
insurgents, they are well f-atitfied with
the present condition cf affairs Their
congress bas ju3t returned a commnni
cation to the American peace commis
sioa declaring that, while they would
have accepted autocomy from cur gov?
ernment if they bad been properly
dealt with at first, they will now con?
sider no proposition excepr. indepen?
dence With almost 42 OOO miles of
territory from which io draw supplies,
and with beats coming io without any
opposition from Hong K002 and from
Cdotral and South America, and
Australia, the insurgents probably ere
doing well as far as supplies are con?
cerned.1'
