‘ The Kidney complexion.
The pale, sallow, sunken-checked,
distressed-looking people you so often
meet are afflicted with “Kidney Corr.-
plexion.” ,
Their kidneys are turning to a pars-
nip color. So is their complexton. '
They may also have indigestion, or
suffer from sleeplessness, rheumatism,
neuralgia, brain trouble, nervous ex-
haustion, and sometimes the heart acts
badly.
The cause is weak, unhealthy kid-
neys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney
disease does not find out what the
trouble is until it is almost too late, be-
cause the first symptoms ‘are so like
mild sickness that they do not think
they need a medicine or a doctor until
th eyfind themselves sick in bed.’
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root will build
up and strengthen their weak and dis-
eased kidneys, purify their diseased,
kidney-poisoned blood, clear their com—
plexion and soon they will enjoy better
health.
You can get the'regular sizes at the
drug store, at fifty cents and one dol—
'lar, or you may first prove for yourself
the wonderful virtues of this great dis-
covery, Swamp-Root, by sending your
address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bingham-
ton. N. Y., for a sample bottle and a
book that tells all about it. both sent to
you absolutely free by mail. \Vhen

HALL TAKES A TOWN
Filipinos Driven From- Calam-
ba After a Sharp Fight.
NAPIDAN SHELLS THE INSURGENIS.
Enemy Removed Killed and Wound:-
ed and Took Away Forty Spanish
Prisoners—Point II a Strategic
One and Will Be Garrisoned.
MANILA, July 28.—-Gcneral Hall, de-
feated General Malnbar’s garrison of 300
Filipinos at Calamba \‘Vcdnesday after
a sharp running fight, cutting through
the north and south avenue of the insur-
gents. The expedition was under the su-
pervision of General'Lawton. Four hun-
dred \Vashington troops, armed with
Krug-Jorgensens, and Hamilton’s moun—
tain battery left Pasig at 3 o’clock in the
morning and joined Captain Eltcnhead,
with 450 men of the Twenty—first infan—
try, 150 cavalrymen and the army gun-
boats Napidan and’Oeste.
At 3 o’clock in the afternoon the gun-
boats concealed near Talim island head-
ed southwest, deceiving the Calambans
into believing that they were intending
to attack- Sapta Cruz. "Suddenly, howev-
or, they landed the cavalry-and the men
of the Twenty-first in{antry a mile north
of Calamba. A 12 foot rise of the lake
had flooded the insurgents’ trenches,
hence there was no opposition on the
part of the enemy until the cavalry were
swimming the river. The insurgents then
McGrath and Lieutenant Bateson Swan
secured a caSco, on which they ferried
the cavalrymen across the river.
The cavalry advanced upon the town
while the Twenty-first detachment plow-
cd through the marshes and circled the
foothills to the west, preventing a retreat
of the enemy on three sides. They then
swung to the southeast, flanking'the ene-
my. who retired into the town. After
fighting there in the streets they escaped
south to Santa Tomaz. The \Vashington
troops, under the cover of the Napidan‘s
six poundcrs, landed in water neck deep
and got stuck in the marshes to the
south. C9nscquently they were unable
to co—opernte with the other trdops.
A hundred noncombatants in carriages
drawn by bull teams escaped to the south
unmolested. The enemy removed about
25 of their killed and wounded and also
took with them 40 Spanish prisoners.
Thirty of the latter, including five wom-
en, were gescued by the Americans and
conveyed to Manila.
Calamba, which is on the lake, is a
position of strategic importance and
will be permanently garrisoned. Gener-
al Lawton and his wife and son were lu-
tcrestcd witnesses of the affair from a
launch, and were under fire.
The American loss was four men kill—
ed and 11 wounded.
Yesterday General Lawton, on board
the Napidan, visited Las Banas. to the
south of Calamba. He found there a de-
serted Spanish hospital for rheumatics,
with hot springs and marble baths, which
he recommends to the use of the army.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 28,—The
United States army transports Ohio and

BAN DIT LEADER rnacsn.
Rivero Was Concerned In the Recent
Safe Robbery—Short Sugar Crop.
HAVANA, July 28.-—Chief of Police
Gallo of Guanajay has captured En-
rique Rivcro,‘thc ringleader of the ban-
ditti engaged in the recent safe robbery
at Mariel. Rivet-o was taken in a ruined
building on a plantation in the neighbor-
hood of Guanajay.
In telling his story the bandit chief
says he was asked by Major Jose Acosta
of the Cuban army to help raid Mariel
and was told that there was no danger
in the enterprise. Acosta, according to
Rivcro’s tale, took him to the Cuban bar-
racks. where the plot was arranged with
Sergeant Fermin of Acosta’s regiment
and five or six others. Arms were sup-
plied the men, and the telegraph wire
was cut by order of Acosta.
The party arrived at Mariel at 8 o’clock
in the evening, and all hands assisted in
carrying the safe some distance away.
where it was opened withan ax, each
man helping himself to some of the mon—
ey it contained. On their return the pur-
ty arrived at the Cuban quarters in Gu-
anajay at 3 o’clock in the morning. Ri-
vero says that he delivered a portion of
the money he had secured to Acosta and
some to Major Bulnes, and he believed
that others of the party gave money to
Bulnes.
When the first man concerned in the
raid was arrested. Acosta ordered all the
members of the band to get as far away
fl‘i’lll Guanajay as possible. Rivero also
says that Acosta stole many mules and
horses and also had a plan to rob the
hotel at Guanajay. ~
One of the largest sugar brokers in Cu-
ba says this year’s crop will be exception-
ally small, owing to want of rain at the
proper' season and also to a scarcity of
capital due to a feeling of general un-
easiness in financial circles as to the
length of time the, present stable govern-
ment will remain in power. Fears are felt
for the future, and most of the capitalists
are timid. _ '
During the last 30 days there have
been imported at the port of Havana 18,-
