Houton, "that in -my travels in ai; parts of the world, for the last tin years, I have met more people having used Green's August Flower than an: other remedy, for dyspepsia, derange' liver and atomach, and for constipa tion.

The land ing was covered by the Callao, Tap- pom commanding, and tihe: Samara, Musting commanding. Slight resist ance. No casualties. Inhabitants wel comed the flag. McCrackln is now hold ing Vigan until relieved by the army. Lieutenant Gilmore is well, with seven men twenty-five miles from Vigan. Received Meyer code letter, from Gil- more by Albert Socichsen, newspaper artist, who was wiith Gilmore seven months and escaped. Brought here by Samar. News from, lnsurgeruts through a Spanish sergeant indicates Urda- neta's crew killed except Ithe following: Farley, Green, Powers and Burke. Names of the Gilmore party are: Wal ton, Vandoit, Ellsworth, Br4solese, An derson, Edwards, Peterson. Some wounded were left at Baler. Gilmore has no news of it,hem. "WATSON." . The above dispatch, taken in connec tion with ithe advices received (today from General Otis describing the suc cesses of the movements of the army under Young encourages the haval of ficials . In the belief Ithat perhaps by this itime the American prisoners referred to have already been releas ed. Wth ithe naval contingent ait Vigan, only twenity-five miles away to the west, and the army advance probably little further distant to the southeast, the town of Bagued is nearly surround ed and there is litltle chance of the es cape of the insurgent force there if they attempt ito encumber themselves in their retreat with the prisoners. Taking ithe list of prisoners of Gil more's party given in ithe cable from Admiral Watson as being at Bagued, the records of the navy department show that the following men must, have been left at Baler, on ithe east coast of the island where the Yorktown's boats crew was captured last spring: John Dillon, Charles A Morrisey,' Era Mc Donald, William H. Rindersi O. W. Woodbury, W. G. A. Venville and A. Jl Nygard. . Altogether the news from both army and naval sources today 'is highly en: couraging ito the officials here as indi cating the practical end of the opposi tion of the insurgents in 'the north of Luzon. So far as known the only for midable force is that left in Oavite proving under General Try as, and that open ating in Panay. Manna, November 30. 8:35 a. m. It is supposed that the insurgent garri son at Bayombong, province of Neuva Viscaya, numbering from 300 to 500 men, has surrendered to General Law ton, who started for that point with the Thirty-fourth infantry. Captain Nich ols, who commands a detachment of the Twenty-third infantry at Zambo anga, island of Mindanao, has estab lished a provisional government there. The insurgents have surrendered to him four cannon and 200 rifles. THE MANAUSENSE AN EXPERI MENT. Officers from the steamer Manauense, which arrived here Tuesday frorri San Francisco, after a terribie voyage, oringing three companies of the Thir-ly-hist infantry, say she was charter ed for the Philippine service, and not as an ocean transport, and that send ing a battalion across the ocean on ooard of her was an experiment. The captain declines to discuss the steam er s experience. He says he is only ..he navigating officer and has no ju .isdiction over the engineering depart ment. The. battleship Oregon landed men at Vigan, hoping to find Lieutenant Gii more's party, as it . is known that he and his men were there recently. The sanding paity found that the Ameri cans had been removed to the moun tains two days before. The navy has x-equested the army to go in pursuit. GUNK UP IN FLAMES. A. Disastrous Fire in Philadelphia. The Loss Two Million Dollars. .Philadelphia, Nov.29 Nearly $2,000, 000 worth of property was destroyed by two fires in the "heart of the business section of the city early today. The greater Of the two fires startd in the oig department store of Partridge & Richardson, at the southeast corner of Eighuh and Filbert streets, the very centre of the slhopping district, at 6:30 o'clock a. m., and before the flames had been put under control they spread to adjoining property and caused a loss of about $1,700,000. While this fire was in progress and speading every moment, another fire oroke out four blocks . away on the fourth floor oif No. 419 Market street. .Thie loss at this fire is estimated at 110,000. The losses of the two fires are more than covered by iaisurance. Thiej Eighth (street fire was a very ugly one for the firemen to handle. Kighth street and Filbert street. axe very narrow "thorougthf ares. There was a strong wind blowing at the time, and the fie fighters had great difficulty in preventing the flames from getting a good hold on the buildings on .the op posite side of these streets. As it was many of the structures and their con tents were badly scorched and dam aged by water. It took four hours to get the flamesunder control. The fire started in the basement of Partridge & Richardson's store from an electric spark, and soon the entire building was a mass of flames. The two stores to the south of Partridge & Richardson's were gutted, and then tihe flames attacked the big. buildin of the J. B. Lippincott Publishtag Com, pany, on Fifiibert street, east of tne burning department store. iTb.ja pub lishing house is one of the best known in Ithe country, many high class refer ence 'books, periodicals and numerous otlher jpublications being produced by the firm. The building was completely ruined. In this buittding stored away in vaults is nearly $500,000 worth of manuscript, plates, and "-other mate rial for reference books, and it is not yet known whether they were destroy ed. Lit Brothers large aepartmenx score, which adjoins tihe Lippincott building, and wlhiah is valued, with its contents, at over $1,000,000; was saved, but only after thle contents of the corner of the building bad been damaged, iStraw bridge & Clothier, another large depart ment store on, the west side of Eightlh street, also ''had a narrow escape and the building and conteats were damag ed to the extent of about $50,000. A number of other business houses, adjoining Lippincott's and Partridge & Richardson's were eilther entirely de stroyed or partly damaged. . . Over 2,000 persons are thrown out of employment by the fires, but proprie tors of other department stores offer temporary employment to all of Par tridge & Richardson's 900 employes at the salaries they received from the burned out firm. Although the big fire raged, for over four hours, there were no casualties beyond a few minor Injuries received by a half dozen firemen. Their Remalas Not to Be Removed. ; Washington, November 29. The citi zens of Key West have petitioned th$ navy department not to remove the re mains of the victims of the Maine who were interred in the cemetery there. They have represented that the town purchased a fine lot in the cemetery, placed an iron fence around it and erected an expensive monument which is to be dedicated this winter. All this was done under an implied understand ing that the remains were not to be re aoved. Moreover it is reported that on y two of the bodies could be identi flel. The department therefore will not undertake to remove these bodies. TLose buried at Havana, however, about 160 in number, will be brought home on the Texas.

THE BOER FORCES DRIVEN BACK After Desperate Fighting With Artil lery and Infantry Methuen Pro nounces It the Bloodiest Battle of the Century Revised List of British Losses in Recent Battles All Well at Ladysmlth-The Canada Troops Ar rive at Cape Town. London, November 29. The war of fice has received the following dis patch from General Buller: Cape Town, Tuesday, November 28. General Methuen reports: "Modder River, Tuesday, November 28. Re connoitered (at 5 a. m.) enemy's posi tion on River Modder and found them, sltrongly entrenched and concealed. No means of outflanking, the river being full. Action commenced with artillery, mounted infantry and cavalry, at 5:30 guards on right, Ninth brigade on lef U attacked position in widely extended formation at 6:30 o'clock, and support ed by ithe artillery,' found itself in front of the whole Boer force, 8,000 strong, with two large guns, four Krupps, etc. The naval brigade ren dered great assistance from the rail way. - "After desperate, hard " fighting, which lasted iten hours, our men, with out water or food and in the burning sun, made the enemy quit his position. "General Pole-Carew was successful in getting a small party across the river, gallantly assisted by 300 sappers. "I speak in terms of high praise of the conduct of all, who were engaged in one of (the hardest and most trying fights in the annals of the Brinish army. If I can mention one arm par ticularly, it is two baititeries of artil lery." A special dispatch from Windsor says that General Methuen's dispatch to the queen after the battle of Modder river says: "The battle was (the blood iest of the century. The british shell ed the enemy out of j the trenches and then charged. The result was terri ble." A revised list of the British casual ties at Belmont shows: "Officers killed 4; wounded 22; non-commissioned offi cers and privates killed 46; wounded 225, of which number the guards had 35 killed and 159 wounded." A revised r list of casualties sustain ed by General Hildyard's forces at the battle of Beason Hill shows: Killed 13, wounded 64, missing 1, prisoners 8. Ladysmith, November 27. (By mes senger to Mooi river.) All here are well and cheerful. The Boers are not shelling Itoday and we have no fear that they will attack the town. Our position we have made very stronjr with Tedoubts and breastworks and we look forward confidently to the ulti mate result. Pretoria, November 27. General Du itort reports that the British made a sortie from Kimberly early Saturday morning and fired on 'the Boers with artillery and infantry in the darkness. The British sortied where the Bloemhof Boer force was stationed. On our (the Boer) side there were 300 men. Gen eral. Dutort. who i was nine miles of, hastened to the assistance of the Bloemhof contingent with 100 men. Nine burghers were killed, seventeen were wounded, and there were some missing. The British left on the field a private and a sergeant. It is reported that the British at tempted to leave Kimberley on the east side to assist the troops from Belmont. Commandant Lubbe was slightly wounded. The British have repaired the dam age to the railroad. The Free Staters engaged with the British were overwhelmed by numbers, and, after a brave Stand in the after noon, we were compelled to take up another position on the other side of the railroad. Delary says it is impos sible to give the number of killed and wounded Boers, but the loss is not great. The Boers had"-four guns to the British twenty-four. The general says the Free Staters are full of cour age. The latter part of the foregoing dis patch from "the Free Staters engaged" evidently refers to either the battle of Belmont or the baiotle of Enslin, or Gras Pan. Cape Town, November 29. The Allan line steamer Sardinian, Captain John stone, from Montreal October 28th and Quebec October 30th, having on board the Canadian contingent for South Af rica, 1,000 stroner. has arrived here.

A bottle of the Pain-Killer kept in the house will prove valuable not only for the Grippe, but for ordinary coughs and 6olds. Avoid substitutes, there is but one Pain Killer, Perry Davis'.

The Star this evening, discussing the extent of the senate reorganization at the ap proaching session of congress, says: "There is considerable talk about the extent of .the senate reorganization early In the coming session of congress. It is generally , conceded that General Clarksoiu of Iowa, will be secretary of the senate. The question of a change in the office of the sergeant-at-arms is one that is very difficult to determine. Colonel Bright, the present sergeant-at-arms, has made such a record for efficiency of administration that re' gardless of party affiliation there is a general feeling that the senate would lose more than a partisan appointment could possibly gain by a change. Dur ing his term of office Colonel Bright has brought about many changes in the senate end of the capitol, so that it is said the building was never in quite so satisfactory a condition as is now the case. Not only has the build ing itself been kept in a fine condition, but the manner m which the various employes under the sergeant-at-arms are attending to their duties is said to entirely meet the approval of every one. The senate depends upon the sergeant-at-arms for a great deal of work that requires judgment and constant vigilance, and many senators are loathe to permit politics to interfere with their comfort and with the conduct of the senate in a satisfactory way." MOLINEUX JURY SECURED. New York, November 29. The twelfth and last juror in the case of Roland B. Molineux was secured at 5 o'clock this afternoon. Juror No. 12 Is Frederick B. Crane, a corresponaent for the American Book Company. Earlier In the . day Theodore Sandhop, a manufacturer of chemical and surgi cal, instruments, was selected as the eleventh juror.

THE SITUATION IN CUBA DISCUSSED BY GENERAL WOOD WITH SECRETARY ROOT. TROOPS ARE TO BE WITHDRAWN Secretary of War Says Such. Orders "Will Be Issued at Once Twenty Per Cent, of the Soldiers There to Be Brought Home General Wood De clares the Island Tranquil Nothine as to Appointment of a Civil Gov ernorWood to be Promoted. Washington, November 29. General Leonard Wood; who reached Washing ton last nighit, had a two hours' con ference with Ithe secret ary of war to day. -' ' ' ; : " After ithe conference Secretary Root announced that his recommendation as to (the removal of troops from Cuba had been approved and that orders would be issued putiting them into ef fect. ' General Wood said ithalt, in his opin ion, all the rumors of impending trou ble were groundless; that ithere was no real prospect of a revolt and that what ever friction and discontent did exist among the Cubans was due to the re cent talk of a civil governor for the island. ' When asked about the report of his selection1 for this position, General Wood said: "I do not know a thing about it. I have heard nothing of the plan for a civil governor, except what I have seen in the papers. It has not been offered ito me and I have not been asked for any suggestions on the sub ject." Concerning his mission to Washing ton, he said thait it was- merely for consultation about the reduction of the American forces in the Island. "I have recommended a reduction of about 20 per cent, of the foree in my depar menit," said General Wood, "that is to say the recall of the Fifteenth infant ry and the removal of a squadron from each of the cavalry regiments. I think that this is perfectly feasible. When I say . that Santiago is perfectly quiet, it is a pretty fair indication of the condition throughout the island. Every revolution 'that has started there has started In Santiago province, and in the last war 70 per cent, of the troops were drawn from that province." It is stated that the president has decided on the reward to be allotted to General Wood when his term of service in Cuba is over. It is said on good authority thait General Wood is -slated to succeed General George M. Stern berg as surgeon general of the army when the latter iss rtliw! hv law June of the coming year. ine surgeon generalship would place General Wood at the head of the med ical stair or the American army at but iittle over 35 vears makin? him tya youngest officer ever holding this re sponsible position. It would leave him iwenity-nve years of' active service if he so desired with it great prestige in the profession win at nome ana abroad. . General Wood has taken a house in Washington.
