coon FIGHTERS.
'I‘Iie Ziravcs of Agninnldo Show They
Hume Their Own Share
of Courage.
The Filipinos are certainly showing
{but they have 1115- full share of cour-
age. in the lszcs2.hurdlighting around
Manila. they were forced. to give. way
before the determined American ad—
vance, but the losses they endured
proved how well they stood their
ground against the forces far superior
in equipment, arms, leadership and skill
in the use of modern. weapons, say ' ‘he
Cleveland Leader. S? .
The soldiers who served Aguinal‘d‘o
had the advantage of fighting on the
{defensive and of knowing the. country
better than the Americans. The clia
Tmate was also in their favor. But the
{difference in the losses sustained shows
{that they were essentially overmatched'.
Few natives of semi-civilized. or savage
countrieswould have stood theirground
350 well, under like conditions. Nothing
:more can be asked of men, as a test of
courage, than their willingness tofight
until they die, and it is clear that many
of the Malays in Luzon have been ready
fer that supreme test of bravery.
It is evident that the fighting powers
'of the Filipinos were much underesti-
mated, at first, by the American offi-
cers who held commands in- Manila.
Their stubborn resistance to the Span-
iards was too largely attributed to
the inefficiency of the Spanish soldiers.-
.It seems rather to have been due to
:the courage and natural prowess of the
Filipinos themselves. The Spanish in-
fantry proved at Santiago that it could
Idwdeadly work in battle, andlfhe losses
:of the Filipinos in their last rebellibn
.against Spain were heavy.

labors a few days for the purpose of
enabling the members to be present in

The Kidney complexion.
The pale, sallow, sunken-checked,
distressed—looking people you so often
meet are afflicted with “Kidney Com-
plexion.”
Their kidneys are turning to a pars-
nip color. SO is their complexmn.
They may also have indigestion, or
suffer from sleeplessness, rheumatism,
neuralgia, brain trouble, nervousex-
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 ora doctor until
theyfind 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

THE LAST WEEK.
New York Legislature Will Close‘ltl
WOrk Friday—Little More to Do.
ALBANY, April 24.—The legislative
session of 1899 enters upon its closing
' week tonight with the calendars of
both houses more nearly cleared than
often happens at this period of the ses-
sion.- Few bills of great importance re-
main to be disposed of. The .rapid
transit bill will be called up in the sen-'
ate tomorrow.
posed by the Democrats is yet uncer-
tain. Thati‘it will pass, however, seems
assured, as all the Republican members
are understood to approve it, unless it
be Senators Krum and Armstrong, who
have opposed every measure proposing
a tax exemption. ' ,
The state police bill is conceded .to be
dead, beyond‘hope .of revival. Its con-
sideration therefore will not occupy
much time, if indeed it is called up at
all. The only purpose in callingit up
will be to secure a. record of the atti-
tude of senators toward it. -
The fate of the White educational
bill, a. codification of all laws bearing
upon this subject, is, much, in doubt, as
the regents have never relinquished
their vigorous opposition.
It is expected that by Wednesday
most of the general and important bills
will have been passed or put to sleep in
committee, and the last portion of the
week will probably be devoted to finish.~
ing up the disposition of the smaller
measures.
Of course, as usual, Friday will be de—
voted to lighter things than legislation,
and the assembly chamber will be
turned for the time into a, temple of
good will, kind exchanges of gifts and
)entiments and a general place of .pleas—

PHILADELPHIA, April 24.—The an

ters of the Revolution convenes in this
city today and will last several days.
One hundred and seventy-five delegates,
representing every state in the Union
except two, are now here. Among the
new business which will come before
the conference will be the final arrange-
ment for the uniting of 'the society with
the Daughters of the American Revo-
lution. ' —

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., April 24,—Gov-

the bitter end by the Democratic execu-
tive committee. State Chairman Lowe

‘Ins' Been Asked t6 Explain In Re-
gard to His Recent Speech.
WASHINGTON, April 24.—Navy de-
partment officials say that no word has
been received from Captain Coghlan of
i
made of him by Secretary Long for a.
statement as to whether he was cor-
rectly reported in’his recent eech at
New York respecting the relations be-
~tween the Germans and the, Americans
during the blockade of Manila bay last
year.
It is the custom of the department
when it takes notice of remarks made
by naval officers which may be regard-
ed as improper or‘offensive to an indi-
vidual or a nation first to call upon the
pl‘t'ending person for a statement as to
whether he has been correctly reported
in preference to taking what may be
printed in the newspapers as a basis of
action. Captain Coghlan’s answer to
the department’s request will therefore
be awaited before any further attention
is given to the matter. The officials
were somewhat surprised to read in the
Sunday papers the additional observa—
tions made by Captain Coghlan in his
speech before the Army and Navy club
in New York Saturday night, as they
had hoped he had taken warning by the
unfavorable comments which his for-
mer remarks had caused.

at her, but none was allowed on board.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 24.—The

town of San Rafael, was burned yester-

ing and was lost. The fire originated
In the furnace room and is attributed to
