Tuberculin was undoubtedly, a strong healing power if the course of treatment was per- sisted in, even in cases where the sec- ondary Infection bad already set in.

A despatch from Manila, says: -Tha events of the past week have empha- sized the need of a much larger army here, without which, according to the best authorities in Manila, it would be attempting the impossible to attempt to establish United States supremacy in the Philippine Islands. The inadequacy of the United States forces is said to be responsible for the large total loss in the num- ber of small encounters, WITHOUT MATERIAL RESULTS as a compensation. Most of the fight- ing has been in territory which the forces had swept, hat have been com- pelled to abandon because they could not spars troops to hold it.

',Ibis is the kind of warfare they prefer to regular battles. The native Generals take the loss of arms more to heart than they do the loss of men, Foreigners who have arrived here from the natives' country, under the recent order of expulsion, say the ce- meteries in all the towns are filled with fresh graves.
