WASHINGTON, April 19.——The fol-
lowing cable dispatch was received from
Admiral Dewey a: the navy depart-
ment, dated Manila, April 18:
"The YorktOwn visited _ Baler, east
coast of Luzon, April 12, for the purpose
of rescuing and bringing away the
Spanish forces, consisting of 30 soldiers,
three officers and two priests, which
were surrounded by 400 insurgents.
Some of the insurgents, armed with
Mauser rifles as * * * by natives.
Lieutenant Gilmore, while _ making
‘ * " ambushed were fired upon and
captured. Fate unknown, as insurgents
refused to communicate afterward. if“
“The following are missing: The offi-
cer previously referred to, Chief Quar-
termaster. W. Walton, Cockswain J.
Ellsworth, Gunner’s Mate R. J. My-
gard, Sailmaker’s Mate P. Vendglt, Sea-
men W. H. Rynders, O. W. Woodbury,
Apprentices D. F. Van Ville and A. Pe-
terson, Ordinary Seamen S. Brisolose
and 0. B. McDonald, Landsmen L. P.
Edwards, F. Anderson, J. Dillon and C.
A. Morrisey.”
The asterisks in the above dispatch
represent portions that .could not be
made out by the cipher experts.
The capture of the Yorktown's men'
was discussed with much feeling in na-
val circles. The misfortune was felt
with added keenness as the navy has
prided itself thus far on immunity from
reverses. The admiral's dispatch was
the first knowledge the department had
that the Yorktown had gone on this
special mission to relieve the Spanish
garrison at Bale1. ' That the capture
should have been effected while the
American forces were on a mission of
mercy toward the Spaniards rather
than in the prosecution of a. campaign
led to the belief that Spain would have
no further ground for questioning the
good faith- with which the Americans
were seeking to relieve the condition of
the Spanish prisoners.
Although the dispatch gave no indi-
cation that Lieutenant Gilmqre and his
men had lost their lives, yet great anx-
iety was aroused by 'the mystery sur-
rounding their fate while in the hands
of an ~uncivilized enemy. ,This is the
first capture of any Americans, militas
ry or naval, so that it is unknown how
the insurgents will treat our men. If
civilized methods were pursued, an ex—
change could be quickly effected, as
ipino prisoners, but the insurgents have
been averse thus far to exchanging
Spanish prisoners and this raises a
question as to what they will do with
the Yorktown’s then. The purpose of
officials here is to spare no effort to se-
cure the speedy release of our men.
. Volunteers Pray For Discharge.
MANILA, April 19.—Prominent local
Filipinos are organizing with the object
loans for the termination of the war.
A petition has been prepared by vol-
unteer American soldiers on the island
of Luzon praying for their discharge on
the island and that they'may receive
travel pay the same as if they had re-
turned to their homes in the United
States after being mustered out. In re-
thrn for this concession they promise
to form a. national guard here. The pe-
tition contains 4,000 names.
The provost marshal has seized the
sum of $100,000 which was collected in
the south of the island of Luzon and
shipped to Aguinaldo's agent, a. Manila
business firm.
A Filipino cruiting office has been
raided in Manila, where a. colonel and
twocaptains were captured.
Colonel Whally‘of the First Wash-
ington infantry will command Briga-
dier-General King’s brigade during the
latter’s illness.
Some English Views.
LONDON, April 19.—-The morning pa-
pers all comment upon the situation in
the Philippines to the general effect
that it is now impossible for the United
States to draw back and that the Amer-
icans must from time to time expect
such. apparent re‘Verses as Major Gen-
eral Lawton’s retirement from the San-
ta Cruz district. .The Daily Mail, in an
editorial entitled “Dare America It.-
t1 mt?” says “We do not believe for an
inst ant that the wishful prophecies of
tied and the United States retire van-
quished and humiliated."
Comparing America’s task to Eng—
land’s in Burma, The Daily Mail-says:
“Plum: and doggedness will' triumph
in the end. No true hearted American
can raise his voice to recall the troops
or to refuse re-enforcements. That
would be cowardice, and continental 11a-
tions would never cease to sneer.”
The Standard, whose editorial is sym—
pathetic, rebukes those who would
make political capital out'of General
Lawton’s retirement after having bril—
liantly executed a. strategic programme
and out of the mischance Admiral Dew—
ey records in an attempt tofulfill an 0b—
ligation of humanity. It believes that
“the volunteers themselves would re-
sent the suggestion that they are ex-
hausted by hardship or are prematurely
homesick." ,.
Strikers Resume Work.
- , BLACKSTONE, Mass, April 19.—The
strikers at the Sara’nac, worsted mills at
VVestford, including the dryhouse hands
and spoolers, ha'Ve returned to work.
The dryhouse hands were given an ad--
vance of 15 cents per day, and the spool-
ers were raised from $4.50 per week to
$5.25. The strike was on all last week,
and the mill shut down Thursday night.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-A "postai

cle will be established in Alaska be-
tween-Yukon, on the river of that name,

miles. Four round trips will be made

Mr. William F. Knapp, engineer and
fireman at Roth & Goldschmidt s South
N01 walk says. ‘ "I am an old engineer
and like a great many men 11 ho follow
my calling, the weak spot in my ana-
tomy is my back, probably caused by
becoming over heated in a warm at-
mosphere and then exposed to cold. Be
that as it may, I had considerable
trouble with my kidney, although I
used simple household remedies, and
on one 01 two occasions took medicine,
I Was never able to completely 11d my-
self of the attacks. Reading- about the
work performed by Doan’s Kidney Pills
in and around the Norwalks, I came to
thé conclusion that they might help me.
and procuring a supply I commenced
the treatment. After completing it, I
was so greatly improved in my general
health that I conscientiously endorse
Doan’s Kidney Pills.”

Tara's L'ucvcnucss on Its Feet A!-
fcc Is 11 I'i:u1o-‘~ Sweetness
01' Tune.
The girl had a new piano. She was a
mu alCfll girl,a.1(l it was as nice a piano
as COllltlD be found. When she had it
properly set. up and ready for use there
was probably not a happier girl. But
as she sat down to play a look of dis-
content and wonder spread over her
face. It was strange, but this new
piano was certainly out of tune; cer-,
tuin notes sounded like the hammering
of a. piece of iron. That would never
do; she couldn’t play on a piano like
that: she couldn't understand it, either,
for certainly that piano had a very sweet
tone in the shop. So the piano man was
sent for in great haste, and came to see
what the trouble was, very much as-
tonished himself. He. ran his fingers
over the piano and then. turning, p.17ed
curiously around the room.
“That is a most curious and im-
pertincnt man.” thought the girl, as
she watched him. his fingers moving
over the keys. but his eyes wander-
ing senrching‘ly from one piece of -'
furniture to another. Finally he left
the piano, vent to a stove in the room,
tucked :1 piece of paper under one leg,
and went, back to the piano, when,
strange Ito say, every note was as sweet
and clear and full as could have been
desired and there was not a suspicion
of discord. During the cold weather a
stove had been placed in the room. and,
not standing evenly, with certain vi-
brations of the piano it was made to
move and there followed a little clat—
tering of iron, which, cominfr simul-
taneously with the striking of the keys
on the piano, sounded as if that instru-
ment had produced the disagreeable
sound.
“That is all right now,’ ’said the man
as he left the piano, “only it was a stove
man you needed instead of the piano
man.”
FACTS FOR Filii‘ilfi‘Rs.
Well seasoned wood of apple trees
makes good handles for tools.
Sprinkle cayenne pepper . around
where rats frequent, and they will
leave."
Have the collar fit the horse and do
not draw the homes too tight at the
top.
It is easier to “keep up” with your
work than to “catch up” when once you
have fallen behind.
The man who‘ does not love a good
horse should hire out to work on a
good railroad or in amine.
t is far easier to keep land' 1n a good
state of cultivation than to 1estor.e soil
that has been allowed to “run down.”
The farm horse does not need blind-
ers. Blindms add so much more to the
cost of harness. Do away with them.
Don ’1. let any of 11s wait until the
spring w ork begins before we get ready
Have tools, implements, etc. ., in
good shape.
It is best to prevent disease in your
home if possible, and it is cheaper to
prevent dise‘ase among your animals
than to cure it. -
The steer or other animal that is
tramping two mouthfuls under foot
while eating one is fertilizing the
ground, but is doing it' in an expcn si. 1.
manner.
Feed the corn to fattening hours .1..
not to colts and pigs. Feed oats to
colts, and pigs should have 11 variety
of whatever is convenient and cheap. —-
