COWHIDINQ AT WASHINGTON.
Mr. Woodward is Completely Vindi-

She Was Mistaken. -
ashington, IS. U., June 24.
Morning Star, Wilmington:
Mr. J. F. "Woodward, who -was bru
tally horsewhipped here Thursday
morning by A. S. Kelly, J. B. Latham
W. J. Crumpler and several others,
returned, to the city at noon to-day
for the ' purpose of establishing his
innocence. He was accompanied by
Judgej.W. R: Allen, of Goldsboro,
and M,r. H. L. Stevens, of Warsaw,
attorneys, and four friends from his
home. There was a large crowd as
sembled at the depot, and Mr. Wood-
: ward was enthusiastically welcomed
by bis many friends here, who have
believed him innocent from the very
first. The assailants and the young
lady, Miss Jane L. Burgess, had re-
tained able counsel. The lawyers -of
j both sides got together immediately
j after dinner, but a meeting was not
arranged between. Miss Burgess and
Mr. Woodward until 7 o'clock, when
tljiey met at a lawyer's office. The
result of this identification meeting
was as expected the lady found she
had made a terrible "mistake, and ac
knowledged it. She wrote the follow
ing statement, wording it carefully,
I Hinder counsel's advice, for it must be
borne in mind that she was placed in
the delicate position of having already
identified Mr. Woodward as the man:
"I was insulted UDon the streets of
Washington. by a man who was a
stranger to line. He approached me
from behind, and spoke to me. I
tutned around and saw him. I was,
of course, indignant and excited. At
thie depot next morning, when Mr.
Woodward was attacked, I had iden
tiified nim as the, person who had ac-
. c6sted'me,the day before, and I felt
sure at the time that I was correct.
There Was a large crowd present, and
the situation and circumstances made
. me nervous and excited. This after
noon I was brought face to face with
Mr. Woodward, and had opportunity
, to examine his countenance and per
son carefully, while I was calm and
collected. While he closely resembles
the mapi who insulted me, yet I do not
feel I could swear to his identity.
' "Jane L. Burgess."
, Three of the assailants (there were
eight arrested and tried before Mayor
jnauncey, ana nnea $5 each for disi
orderly conduct), Messrs. CrumplerL
Kelley and Latham, had the manhood
to come forward after the final de
nouement and implore pardon of Mr.
Woodward, offering to make any re
paration within their power for the
irreparable wrong done him. Mr.
Woodward shook hands with them
and' forgave, them. They also wrote
srad signed a statement for publica
tion, .which follows:
' "We are relatives and friends of
Miss Uane L. Burgess, who is an
orphan, and has no brother resident
in this town. We deemed it our duty
to protect her from insult. We joined
in the attack on Mr. Woodward at the
depot only after he had been identi
fied; and we acted from the best mo
tives and entire good .faith. Now.
however; that the young lady, after
more, careful view of Mr. Woodward,
hasj failed to confirm her former iden
tification, we desire to express pub-
liclv our aeep regreiai me .occur
rence.
"W. J. Crumpler,
I "J. U. LiATHAM.
After the result of the meeting was
made known, which was not until
midnight, a large number of the rep-
resentative men of the town called on
Mr.' Woodward, congratulating him
on his vindication arid expressing
their heartfelt regret that such a de
plorable affair should have occurred
atj all, and particularly that its victim
should have been an innocent man.
iThe assailants of Mr. Woodward re
quested me to state that they did not
use pistols in the affair, as nas been
published. Jos. E. Johnson.
FIRST STEPS IN

ican Judges.
RAINY SEASON HAS SET IN.

Scattered and Demoralized.
, By Cable to the Morning Star. 5
Manila, June 26. Great interest is
taken in the first step which is - now
being taken here in the direction of
self-government. The Supreme Court
is now sitting daily and ithe American
and Filipino judges are holding con
sultations through an interpreter. A
unanimous vote is required for a deci
sion. . Major General Otis has per
suaded Major Young, of the Utah bat
tery, to remain on the court for a time
after the battery departs. Three of the
native (justices are absent. Ambrose
Bianzares, justice of the criminal
branch of the court, happened to be at
Tarlac, then the seat of the insurgent
government, when the announce
ment of the appointments was made,
and he was arrested and sentenced to
banishment for life. ... His present
whereabouts are not known. - Pedro
Lorente,' associate justice of the Su
preme Court, is in Cebu, where he has
great influence, seeking to popularize
American rule, with good results.
The uative judges will now begin to
hold criminal courts, having jurisdic
tion over all offences except those
committed by sdldiers or against mili
tary authority.
Movement of Troops.
The United States transport Sher
man has sailed for the island of Ne
gros, with the' Sixth infantry, which
relieves the California regiment.
The Montana and Kansas volunteers
are returning from San Fernando and
the Twelfth and Ninth regulars will
replace them.
Senor Luis Marinas, the first Spanish
Consul General at the Philippine
islands, has arrived here from Singa
pore, on Board the Isla de Luzon.
Delegations from Spanish organiza
tions on tugs met the steamer and wel
comed the consul. .
. The Banayan correspondent of the
Noticiero writes that the gunboat Al
bany appeared off Bantayah June 8th,
and her commander told the authori
ties of the town that unless they de
clared allegiance to the , United States
and raised the American flag after fif
teen days, he would bombard the
the town. The Albany then sailed,
announcing she would return. When
the dispatch was forwarded, the town
was greatly panic-stricken and it was
thought the authorities would proba
ply comply with the demand of the
commander of the gunboat.
Insurgents Suffered Heavy Losses.
Washington, June 26. General
Otis, in reply to a cable from the War
Department, asking for information
regarding the situation and conditions
in the Philippines, to-day . cabled a
long reply as follows:
' "Rainy season. Little, inland cam
paigning possible in Luzon. We oc
cupy a large 'portion of the Tagalog
country, lines stretching from Imus
south to San Fernando north, nearly
sixty miles, and to eastward into La
Guna province. Insurgent armies
have suffjereM great losses and are
scattered ; the only large force held to
gether is about . four thousand in. Tar
lac province and northern Pampanga.
Their scattered forces are in bands of
fifty to five hundred in other portions
of Luzon ; in Cavite and Batangas pro
vinces, could assemble possibly two
thousand, though demoralized from
recent defeat. The mass of the people,
terrorized by insurgent soldiers,- desire
peace and American protection.. They
no longer flee on the approach of our
troops unless forced by insurgents, but
gladly welcome them; no recent burn
ing of towns; population within our
lines becoming dense, taking up land
cultivation extensively; are kept out of
Manila as much as possible, -as the
city population is becoming too great
to be cared for. Natives southeast of
Luzon are combining to drive out in
surgents; only, hope of insurgent
leaders is United States aid. They
proclaim near, overthrow of the pres
ent administration, to be followed by
their independence and recognition by
the United States. This is the influ
ence which enables them to hold out;
much contention prevails among them
and no civil government remains ;
trade with ports not in our possession
a former source of insurgent reve
nue, is nqw interdicted; not certain of
the wisdom of this policy, as people in
those ports are without supply of food
and merchants are suffering losses;
meditate restoring trade privileges, al
though insurgents reap the benefits.
courts nere are in successful opera
tion under the direction of able Fili
pinos. Affairs in other islands are
comparatively quiet, awaiting results
in Luzon.
All Anxious for Trade
and repeated calls for American troops
are received. Am giving attention to
Jolo archipelago and the Palawan
islands. Our troops have worked to
the limit of, endurance. Vo unteer
organizations have been called in; re
placed by regulars, who now occupy
salient positions. Nebraska, Penn
sylvania and Utah regiments are now
taking transports and the Sixth infan
try is sent to Negros to relieve Cali
fornia. These troops are in good
pnysicai condition; sicmess among
troops has increased lately, due mostly'
to arduous service arid climatic influ
ences, but nothing alarming. Of the
twelve per cent, of the command re
ported sick, nearly six per cent, are
in the general hospital, of whom three
per cent, have typhoid and malarial
fevers ; twenty-five per cent, have in
testinal trouble; remaining fifty-five
per cent, have various ailments, four
teen of which due to wound injuries.
Many officers and men. who served in
Cuba break under recurrence of Cuban
fever, and regular regiments lately re
ceived are inadequately officered." (
-The inadequacy ?of the number of
officers mentioned in the. last part of
tne aoove caDiegram nas oeen remedied
by the sailing of the . transports Zerl

ber" of recruits for jthe Philippines.

that General Wheeler would receive
no assignment at that time.
Considered Very Satisfactory.
General Otis' detailed report of the
conditions existing in the Philippines
is considered very satisfactory : at the
War Department, it is taken to mean
that General Otis will now prosecute
a campaign on account of the rainy
season, except where the insurgents
make it necessary to defend the terri
tory now iu possession of tho United
States. That portion of the dispatch
telling of the belief among Filipinos
thaf thenresentDolicv of the United
States will not be upheld is iegarkd
as of great significance. It is belie veu
that when the JB uipmos see mere is iw
hope of their recognition by the
United states iney win give up juo
fight. The absence of any suggestion
as to more troops being xieeded is taken
to mean that General Otis does not
believe they could be used to advan
tage at present. - - I !

told his name, and talked very rational
and in a very few moments said to the
doctor, that he had only a few more
minutes to live and asked that he be
given something to stop the pain. The
doctor administered an opiate and
Parsons became quiet and died in a
few minutes. The man was about

Winchester rifles as though by magic.
They kept con negating at Brookside;
two miles from Cardiff, until x there
were fully two hundred of
them.; The negroes said their
only purpose Was to prevent
violence being done to Shepard's life.
Two special trains from this city, with
deputies and a detachment of cavalry,
went out this afternoon. The negroes
were dispersed, but the rapist was not
captured.
To-night the sheriff of Walker county
has joined the posse from nere and tne
search is being continued. The blacks

closed at midnight on Friday, as a re
sult of the failure to settle the wage
scale at the conference in Chicago.
Fully fifty, thousand persons will be
made idle by "the shut-down.
The conference, which opened in
Chicago on Tuesday morning, closed
Saturday evening at 6 o'clock, without
arriving at an agreement. The work
ers wage committee, acting under in
structions received from the annual
convention held in Detroit last month,
made a demand for an advance of 20
per cent. The present wage scale will
expire on June 30th, and members of
the Amalgamated Association are not
permitted to work after that unless the
new scale is signed.
About 25,000 skilled workers are
members of the Association and as
many more are dependent upon them
and will be idle while the skilled men
are unemployed. Nearly 75 per cent,
of the tin plate workers of the country
are employed in Western Pennsylva

j But sacred music never had a less
soothing influence, and another at

down. At this juncture a delegate
rushed to the stage. Immediately in

A Dangerous Movement

Every delegate was on his feet and
wildly excited. This gesticulating.noisy
mass surged forward, pushing back
the police and crowding them against
the stage. Four of the dissidents,
with presence of mind, ; took posses
sion of the disturber and hustled him
out of the way. The j police " who
had been stoically listening to all sorts
of denunciation for an hour, evi
dently took the matter seriously. One
of them, Captain Maher, pulled his re
volver. His intention probably was
to protect Chairman Redwine, who
had made his way to the rear of the
stage. At any rate the crowd did not
catch sisrht of the weapon or the con
vention might have developed what
hadbeen momentarily feared for nearly
a week, a general fight, j . . ,

I The disorder continued without in
terruption until after 5 o'clock, when
the Goebel men hit upon the plan to
have county chairmen come to the
stage and cast the votes of their
delegates. This set. their frenzied op
ponents besides themselves with an
ger, but the roll call proceeded, the
awful din increasing' all the while..
County chairmen came to the stage
and the clerk hact to lean over to very
close range to catch a word that was
said, j The Hardin men and many
Stone delegates did not vote. After
half an hour of the hardest kind of
work, the ballot was forced and an
nounced as follows: Goebel, 352 J;
Stone, 2611; Hardin, 67.
The chair ordered another ballot
whereupon OUie James, a big lunged
Stone leader, cried : "All Hardin and
Stone men refuse to vote."
"Thev won't do it" the ftflnhetitea
responded, defiantly, and sure enough
they did not and predictions that have
been made that the weakness of Har
din and Stone would show itself -in
the lack of control over" their delegates
were verified. The last ballot, the
thirteenth, resulted; Geobel 320i;
