Guerilla Wartare.

ITS LESSONS TO iMEBIOA. AKD GREAT B> ITAIN.

I The following extract from a letter from Lueon, in the Philippines, addressed to* small Am or lean newspaper by a United States soldier, has Been reproduced in the London Times of Jane 13th:— - 11 The present situation in the Philippine* and the Transvaal has reduced "Itself to practically the same thing. Many people wonder why a great army after crashing all organised resistance cannot Immedi* ately dispose of the scattered few who invariably continue to harass any military operations In their domains. The crashing of the guerillas who invest a country after the war 1b over is the hardest) proposition ;an army haa to compete with—first, ' because the country chosen by these bands I is the roughest and most barren land they cm find; second, because these men, la j choosing this kind of a place to fight in. mske themselves secure from the soldiers' fire and then pour down the deadly nrtesile* on the passing lines. Artillery is a rerj important factor In driving an enaoy i from a mountainous retreat. To the places where the Filipino guerillas hay« chosen to carry on their resistance artillery cannot be taken. Another most annoying thing is that there is no way to get ritiooa to the soldiers after th&y get Into the monnta'ttrendezvous. Pack mules cannot go, for it is g.li a person can do to effect a passage up .these rough* rocky, and dangerous paths with assistance from' the companion In f. ont of him But probably the greatest barrier of all Is the supplying of the guerillas by people from the towns with rice and other necessaries. These people at the same time pretend to be the best friends of the soldiers. . . . Much as we try to conceal our presence from the people in towns when we go cat for a raid on a stronghold, someone detects us and goes sneaking along until he Is out of sight and then hastens ahead with hia warning message. The result is that when we arrive the stronghold is deserted and there i* a long weary trail for naught. Experience is a sad but great, teacher, and I think England and America will h*ve » lot to learn before they are per feet In guerilla warfare.'

Disabilities of a Murtoa Maid

It is not often that a bonny girl like , Miss Beatrice Annie Jones has passed ; through such sorrowful experiences ia a short life of sixteen yearß. for Misa i Beatty is only tbat age. She resides with her parents in Barkly Street, Murtoa(Vic) I "I will tell yon all about roy moat trying experience," said Mies Jones to a reporter; "It was over a year ago that I had ray first attack of asthma, which before long rendt-rrd me a con firmed sufferer, I had extreme diffi. culty in breathing, especially in (he early rnorninga. !V"y limbs would be come quite cold and my face of o deathlike pallor. I grew so dreadfully ill that it was quite a common occur rence for strangers to stop nnd ask what ailed me, Everybody in the district thought I had consumption. My general health suffered grr atly s and I became sick and spirirlefes, often wishing myself dead," "When she was asleep,' interposrd Mrs Jones, fib was so piinful to hear her breathing ; it eoundrd just like a heavy waggon goinff along the street. If she attempted to run or walk fast she could not get her breath, snd we felt quite miserable looking at her* She tried almost everything said to be useful in such cases, but without success. Then through reading in a little book how a person aofJeriog somewhat similarly had been cured by Dr Williams' pink pills, we bought some for her. After she had taken them for a few day* &n improvement was noticeable. Grad ually the colour came to her checks ; the severe fifes of coughing left her, and she became brighter spirited; Five boxes restored her to perfect health, and now she is getting quite robust with a fine healthy colour," 1 Yes,'said Miss Jones,• and lowa it all to Dr Williams' pink pills.' . ; When tbo blood is enrichedj the constitution strengthened, and thß nerves toned up, the patient, be ft man or woman, is enabled to throw off and combat disease. Thus it is that Dr Williams 1 pink pills are bo efficacious in many apparently diverse diseases. Testimonials .prove they have cured consumption, bronchi tid, debility, heart troubles, fits, rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, dys pepsia, St Vitus' datce, etc. Sold by chemists and storekeepers, and by the Dr Williams' Medicine Co, Old Custom House Street, Wellington, three BbU« lings per box, six boxes sixteen and six, post free. In restoring regnlar health ladiea will find them invaluable.
