I GENERAL LAWTON’S ADVANCE. To Capture Santa Cru and Sweep tike Unexplored Country to the South.

V:1 Manila, April 9, 9:50 a. m.—The expedition of 1,500 men under Maj.-Geu. Henry W. Lawton, which started last night with the intension of crossing Laguna de Bay, capturing the town of Santa Cruz, on the eastern shore of the lake and then sweeping the country to. the south, consists of 200 picked sharp-1 shooters, chosen from the various regiments. Hawthorne and Mountain battery, Gale’s squadron formed of three troops of the Fourth cavalry, dismounted, with Bfonko’s and Tappan’s battalions of the Fourteenth infantry, Linck’s battalion of the First Idaho Infantry and Fraino’s battalion of the North Dakota infantry, under Gen. King. 0 * The Flotilla. The flotilla of 20 canoes, towed by tugs* and convoyed by the gunboats Laguna de Bay, Oeste and Kapidana and preceded by the launch San Pedro Macati, on the Kiver Pasig, moved toward the lake just as evening was setting in. It was truly a picturesque scene. The men were all in high spirits, and carried rations for ten days, udtli the lightest marching equipment. Gen). Lawton’* PJIan. Gen. Lawton’s plan was to reach Santa Cruz this morning at daybreak, to capture or destroy any rebel boats or shipping, to take the town and then scour the country to the south of the lake, a district not explored by the Americans. The tactics will be those of the old-time frontier fightiqg, and it is probable that the command will be divided into squads of 12, under non-commissioned officers. In Gen. Lawton’s absence the second division is temporarily commanded by, Gen. Ovenshine, whose lines extend from the beach near Malate, south A Manila, to the shore of Laguna de Bay, The Insurgents Make a Mistake. The withdrawal of the 18 companies constituting the expeditionary force made a gap in the line from the beach to Culiculi, just southwest of San Pedro Macati, which was subsequently filled by the Fourth regular infantry. The rebels on the extreme right, withdrawal of the troops, and they withdrawal of the troops, and they attempted to sneak through after nightfall, but they met with a warm reception and fell back in disorder on discovering that the line was still iutact. Important New* Looked For. ' Washington, April 10.—The war de* partment authorities look for important news from Manila to-day, announcing, in all probability, the capture of the city of Santa Cruz, a leading town In a country as yet untouched by the American forces and now in the hands of the Filipino forces. Occasioned No Surprise. No report of the movement of Gen. Lawton’s men has been made to the war department, but the press announcement occasioned no surprise, for the move is looked^upon as one of the natural steps in Gen. Otis’ carefully laid plans against the insurgents. Santa Cruz is a place of considerable importance in several respects. It is the capital of the province of Laguna and has a population, according to the best available information her^, of considerably more than 13,000 persons. It "is regarded as likely that Gen.Lawtoif already has gained possession of this little stronghold, as it is but a short journey over the Bay lagoon, a freshwater sea, which comes almost up to Manila itself, which is 48 miles away from Santa Cruz. ( Will Serve ai an Object Le*aon, j The details of the dispatch show Gen. Lawton, by essaying the formation of squads of 12 men each, will mhke a thorough reconnaisance of the ground before making a definite attack upon the city and vicinage. It is felt here that there will be only a show of resistance by the natives, and whether they actually surrender the town or abandon it to the southward, the campaign against the place will serve'as an object lesson of /the determined policy of our forces in the island. An Opening Wedge.

bant a Cruz is apparently an opening Wedge for the country bevond. From it lead highways in all directions, to Manila, by going around the shores oi Bay lagoon, and to the important point - hi Batangas, and the well-advanced province of Tuyabas, whose capital is located 91 miles from Manila. Gen. Xiawton, however, may not contemplate any material advance beyond Santa Cruz at this time as the region to the south is a very broken country, covered with mountains, and-the rain; season is coming on so that his purpose may be merely to gain an advantageous position for the future^, Agvinaldo Issues a Decree. Madrid, April 10.—The following dis patch from Manila is published here: “Aguinaldo has issued a decree directing that Spanish shall be the official language throughout the archipelago, and protesting against th< American pretension to force the us< of English on the natives, who do not know it." Dektk ef Gen. John W. Turner. St. Louis, April 9.—Gen. John W. Turner passed away peacefully at his home at 8:15 a. m., Saturday morning, surrounded by his wife and five children. The sixth child, Lieut. Soulard Turner, in the United States army, is on the ocean, bound from New York t< Cuba. r-— Bryan to Address the Missouri House, Jefferson City, Mo., April 8.—CoL . William J. Bryan has accepted the invitation of the Missouri house of representatives to deliver an address on the silver question on Tuesday next. -■

R1 FLECTIONS. The wage of sin is the inablity to keep from s rtning. ~ * To believe only what you like to bollere is the <urest sign of youth. All the world’s a school, and all the pupils who don't calculate have a history. j •. ■ The liapp ?st man is he,who, like the coral insect builds himself into his work. Some people get credit for holding their ground when they are simply too scared to run. The penalty of having a sense of humor is that our sincerest grief has a laughable aspect. When a man won’t let a woman brag about hint to his face he is indeed disenchanted.

The most becoming’ expression a woman can wear is that of unmitigated happiness. In the house of life, energy seems to do all the work, but patience does the real drudgery. The ohly thoughts to which our doors are alwaysopen are those we don’t wish to entertai a. Tears aril) as superficial as laughter. The gTdat Movements ot the” mind are strangers -tio levity and grief. The great trouble with life seems to be that a man wants so ma&y things before he wants to go to his own funeral. Beautiful stupidity should be careful to remain young; it is only the airyminded* ugliness that laughs at age.— N. Y. Tym h. BOTANICAL WONDERS The ‘“olci| man cactus” is hoary-head-ed and loc xs lik§ a shock of gray hair. The curious thing about it is that it is hoary only when young, losing its odd look as it ages. Sixty *years ago there was a craze for the cactus only rivaled by the tulip mania of istory. Some one has called the cactus thg vegetable camel of the desert, for it thrives on the stony, arid plains cif lexas, New Mexico and California. A plant that will furnish you with a toothpicx or a pint of water; that has no leaves and yet sometimes weighs a ton; that can live without moisture and blbomsin i!he night; that sometimes is 70 feet hi;ih and again measures a couple of inches—surely the cactus is entitled to be called the wonder of all the growing things of earth. s One cactus furnishes the Indians boilers in which to cook their food, and so plentiful are they that in moving from place to p ice the Indians never carry away the green boilers, being sure of finding n«v,- ones at their next stopping place. It i=; shaped like a squat cylinder and has a :.ard shell filled with a pulpy : mass easy to remove. It is so hard and green that the fire does not scorch it. ri*—-?-PHILATELIC NOTES. Postal c. rds have been in circulation about 39 rears, the idea having, been originated by Dr. Emmanuel Hermann, of Neustadt, Austria, Since the first philatelic exhibition took place at Dresden, in 1870, 44 stamp shows ha<e been held, nearly all of them i n Europe. The1 latest rarity to turn up is a fine copy of tl i 5-cent “Baltimore.” It was on an envelope with four “New Yorks,M and is lightly canceled. The finder has a small fortune in these stamps. As a result of the penny postage scheme ted ween the British colonies, it has become necessary to extend the facilities of the general postoffice in London. The volume of Canadian business alone has doubled since the first of the year. If the prices asked for the new Cuban stamps can be taken as a criterion of their popularity, they must be making a tremor dous hit with collectors. For the 2ya -c snt de pesos, the denomination supposed to have been withdrawn, 20 cents is being asked, and the remaining stamps ire held at about three times their face value. AT THE JEWELER’S.

James Lewis, Surveyor Ckoeral el Pe-ru-na Drug MTg Co., Columbus, 0.: “Gentlemen—I have used Pe-ru-na for m short time and can cheerfully recommend it as being all you represent and wish every man who is suffering with catarrh could know of its great value. 6hould I at any future time have occasion to recommend a treatment of your kind, rest assured that yours will be the 3ne. Gratefully yours, James Lewis.” Wherever the catarrh is, there is sure to be a waste of mucus. The mueus is as precious as blood. It is blood, in fact.

IN FAVOR OF THE CENTAUR CO. Judge Adams Granted an Injunction In the Caatorln Case. In the United States Circuit Court Tuesday afternoon Judge Adams handed down an opinion in the suit of the Centaur Company', of New York City, against Samuel W. Eslinger, of St. Louis, the 6uit being for an injunction to restrain the defendant from using j the plaintiff’s remedy, “Castoria.” It was stated in complainant’s bill that the Centaur Company, of which Charles H. Fletcher is president, is the sole manufacturer of “Castoria,” and alleged that the defendant had been selling medicine in packages closely resembling those of the New York firm. A preliminary injunction was prayed for to restrain the defendants from in any way pirating upon the complainant’s business. The bill averred that the damages sustained were large, but eould not be estimated. The plea of the defendant was that he had a right to do as he had done. Evidence in the case was taken by affidavits. Judge Adams, without leaving the bench, delivered an opinion in which he denounced imitators of wellknown medicines. He said the practice was a species of robbery and he would grant the injunction sought. The medicine “Castoria” was at first protected by patent and later by label and trade mark. The plaintiff claimed that other decisions similar to the one handed down yesterday have been secured in the Federal courts, cases being innumerable in Chicago, Indianapolis, District of Columbia, Texas and New Jersey, in all of which the courts grant- | ed injunctions. j The attorneys in this suit were Seddon and Blair., of St. Louis, and F. H. Scott, of Chicago, for the complainants and Michael Kineally for the defendant. The preliminary injunction is understood to settle the point of law involved, but the question of damages ! will be adjudged when the case has its ; final hearing. l The bottles of the original “Castoria” manufactured by the Centaur Company bear the facsimile signature of the president, Charles H. Fletcher, on the label, while the bottles sold by the defendant company bore on the label the words : “Pitcher’s Baby Castoria.*’ It is said 1 that criminal proceedings will follow, and that several arrests mar be made.

Dealaen Caaaat Be Cared by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness*, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucoua lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect bearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
