May 08. --The Milted States Philippine OOMMISS10.33 has submitted to the Filipino commissioaers a draft of the form of government tae President is prepared to establish, The following written proposition has been submitted to the Filipinos: "While the final deoision as to the form of government is in the hands of Congress, the President, -ander his military powers pending the action of Congress, stands ready to offer the fol- lowing form of government: The Proposals in Detail. ".A. Governor-General to be appointed by the President, a Cabinet to be appoint- ed. by the Governor-General, all the judges to be appointed by the President, the beads of departments and judges to bo either Americans or Filipinos or both, and also a general advisory council, its members to be chosen by the people by a forni of suffrage to be hereafter carefully determined upon. Tho President earnestly desires that bloodshed cease and that the people of the Pbilippines, at an early date, enjoy the largest measure of self- government compatible with peace and order." The United States commission prepared the scheme and the President cabled his approval of the form of the document. Filipinos Propose Nothing. The Filipinos have made no definite proposition except for a cessation of hostilities until they can present the clues-, tion of peace to the people. Prof. Schur. man told the Filipinos they had no means of gathering the people together, as the Americans control most of the ports. He also reminded them that a liberal form of government was offerea them, and pointed out that it was better than the conditions existing under Spanish rule. Goza,ga, president of the Filipino eonn mission, replied that nothing could be worse than Spanish rule, and admitted that the form of government proposed was liberal. The civilian members of the Filipino commission have declined to co-operate with the other nembers of that commis- sion, as the former consider Aguinaldo's latest demand to bo preposterous, after Major-General Otis' refusal of an armis- tice, referring to his -wish for time in order to consult the Filipino Congress.. After a conference to -day with the Uni- ted Statea commissioners the Filipino cominissioners will lunch with Prof. Schuman, and will afterwards visit the vessels composing the American fleet. Military Operations continue. In spite of the presence of the Filipino commissioners in Manila, the military operations COntillne with unabated rigor. No troops are left in the northern prov- inces. They were all drafted south after the outbreak of war. The villages on the west coast are alnaost deserted. It is added that the only Filipino troops now left are 7,000 men, under General Luna at Tarlac', and about 4,000 under General Pio del Pilar. Even those are demoralized and short of arms and supplies. Many of their rifles -are disabled, and the Filipinoscate unable to repair them, owing to the lea: of mechanics and anaterials for so doing. Spanish Garrison in Dangers A coasting stet:Auer which has arrived here reports that the Spanish garrison at Zamboanga, Island of Mindanao, is hold- ing the rebels in much the same manner as the Americans held them while they were in the vicinity of Manila. Every night the Spaniards are subjected to an ineffectual fusilade, alio if they are not soon relieved they will be reduced to the condition of the Spanish garrison at Iloilo just previous to the evatmation of that place. pi,9ntegration the Story ltrew.

"I am 29 years' of age arid have lived in this vicinity all my life. I had alway enjoyed the best of health untill November 1897, when I took it stinging pain in my right .hip whici seemed to be in my very marrow as it a -fleeted: every muscle and joint, I kept up for several weeks although suffering the most intense pain, .freely using liniments and mauy other in- ternal and external preparations that sympathizing friends would suggest. was then compelled to stay in bed. as 1 got so weak and run donee that I could sit up no longer. 1 received several courses of medical Ireetrueat such as electric batteries, poulticing etc., but got no ease drom the excru- ciating pains which would shoot down through my leg into my very heel where it caused a bursting feeling. Often 1 prayed that nid heel would burst thinking this might give relief. The limb at last became so numb that a hot iron could be placedupon it without me having any knowledge of it. The closing or opening of a door or anyone entering or moving about in my room seemed to increase the pain. For weeks I could not move any part of my body and had to lie in one position all the time. My brother was cured of rheumatism after every other remedy had failed, bytaking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, so I thought as a last resort t would try them. As the directions said that in severe cases three pills could be safely taken at a dose I took this numberthree times a day for about a week although I got the relief 1 so long had prayed for in three days after taking the first dose, Tben I kept on &eking the pills two at a, dose: In it week after commencing the pill' was able to get out of bed and dress myself and a few weeks later when I had gained strength enough I was able to attend to all my household duties a,nd I have ever since enjoyed the best of health. „Friends and neighbors who were conversant with my case can also tellyou of my terrible suffering and the remarkable cure effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills."

Perbaps yoU have had it for weeks. It's annoying because you have a constant desire to cough. It annoys you also because you remember that weak twigs is a family failing. At first it is a slight cough.. At last it is a hemorrhage. At first it is easy to cure. At last, extremely diffiett/t. quickly conquers your little. hacking cough.
