vanced yesterday to a point near San

TWO DARI NO AMERICANS.
Manila, April 2. —Via San Francisco,
Cal., Alay 9. —Instances of personal
bravery have been quite as numerous
in the American army in the Philip
pines as during the Cuban campaign,
it the correspondents have not had
opportunity to chronicle these deeds
of daring in the Orient, because of the
thickness of the country penetrated.
One soldier who lias well illustrated
the quality of the Americans is Cap
tain Charles Clay, of the Seventeenth
infantry. Captain Clay is a native of
Lexington, Ky., and a grandson of
Henry Clay. He brought new honor
to the family name in Cuba, where,
during the hottest action of the San
tiago field, when liis men were lying
behind cover for a shelter from a
shower of bullets, he marched hack
and forth in front of his
company as erect and cool as though
on dress parade, nor would he yield
to the appeals of the men that he find
shelter.
“The captain never forgot for a
second that he was a Clay,” one of
them explained.
When General Hale was assigned to
a brigade in the Philippines he ap
pointed Captain Clay to the position
of adjutant. On the first day of Mac-
Artliur’s advance. Captain Clay, rid
ing erect- as usual, received a bullet
through the neck. He lay six horns
in the jungle before he was discovered,
and as the wound was a dangerous
one at the best, his life was dimpaired
of. His only thought when he was
brought into the hospital was that
his family should be informed that lie
was hut slightly injured. He is now.
however, well on the road to complete
recovery.
Among those officers who have fal
len. no one will he longer or more
loyally remembered by his comrades
than Lieutenant Gregg, of the Fourth
infantry. In the beginning of 11»t•
hot fight at Maraqnina, which Gen
eral Hale conducted with mich skill.
Hint it was worthy of more attention
than the overshadowing importance
of MacArthur’s advance permitted,
Gregg was near his chief. The horse?
lie rode liaikjust been shot from un
der him. 11l was taking off the sad
dle w hen a man "warned him that ihe
shot had been fired by a sharpshooier
in a tree near by. Refusing to take
cover, as most of the men were doing,
the lieutenant stepped forward and
standing erect, uneased his field
glasses to look at the tree, .fust as
lie raised them to his eyes, a puff of
smoke was seen in the tree. Greg?
put his hand to his breast, and fell
forward, instantly killed.

All the military and civil officials
of Sau Juan, representatives ol tin*
principal societies, hundreds of pub
lic school children, large crowds ol
citizens, together with delegations
from the surrounding towns, throng

the scene.
General Henry was visibly affected
by the unmistakable tokens of good
will.
Brigadier General Davis, the new
Military Governor of the island, and
his entire staff were present.

THE RALEIGH AGROUND
THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED IN ENTERING
CHARLESTON HARBOR.
When the Tide Filled, the Cruiser Was Pol ed
CfT. Examination Shows no In
juries Sus'ained
Charleston, S. C., May 9.—Tin* cruiser
Raleigh, which was bound in to he
present at the Confederate Reunion,
went aground early this morning, about
3(10 feet out of the south jetty.
Captain Coghlan declined assistance
from all tugs.
Lute this afternoon when the tide
tilled tile cruiser was pulled off and pro
ceeded up the harbor to her anchorage.
It was stated by her officers that a
superficial examination disclosed no in
juries' to her hull.
The Raleigh was coming in with a
coast pilot, and the phint at which she
grounded is known as “North Breaker”
just outside of the jetty. She went on
the shoal broadside and lay easy in per
fectly calm water, and tugs bad no diffi
culty in freeing her from her awkward
position.
The accident necessitated a postpone
ment of the official reception to the
cruiser, and this will be carried out to
morrow morning according to pro
gramme.
CERTAIN RISK UNAVOIDABLE.
Washington, May 9.—The naval offi
cials are not disposed to criticism by the
news of the grounding of the Raleigh,
the general opinion being that there is
an unavoidable risk in taking a vessel of
such draft as the Raleigh into a jettied
harbor.
If the ship comes off without damage
it is probable that there will not be any
official notice taken of the matter.
Otherwise there must be a court of in
quiry to fix the responsibility.
FOUR LIVES FOR DOLLARS.
Knives, Pistols and Head Men in

Okolona, Miss., May 9. —As a result
of a dispute here tonight four men,
among the most prominent citizens of the
town are dead. Details are confusing.
Dr. Wm. Alnrpliey became involved in
a dispute with Charles It. Clarke over a
bill which Dr. Alnrpliey claimed Clarke
owed him. The dispute became heated
and a light was precipitated. Clarke
drew a knife, and slashed Dr. Alnrpliey,
severing the jugular vein. Howard
Alnrpliey. son of the physician, rushed
to the scene of the killing and shot
Clarke to death. Walter Clarke, brother
of Charles D. Clarke and Howard Altir
phey then began a duel to settle the
matter. Pistols were used. The men
fought viciously, the end being that
both were killed.
DRASTIC ANTI TRUST BILL.
Passed By the Senate of Texas —Strong-

Austin, Texas, May 9.—The Senate of
the State Legislature to-day passed
finally its Anti-Trust Bill. When origi

with the Arkansas law. It has been ma
terially amended, however, and is de
cidedly more drastic hi its provisions.
GEN. GOMEZ WANTS AN ARMY.
II avana. May 9. —General Maximo Go
mez is trying to persuade Governor Gen
eral Brooke that a Cuban standing army
of 15.909 men is a necessary adjunct to
the proper government of the island.
The proposition is not likely to receive
much consideration at headquarters,
where considerable surprise was occa
sioned by this magnificent project, which,
if adopted, Gomez doubtless believes
would !»e placed under his personal con
trol.
Rules to be followed In paying the
Cuban troops were published yesterday.
Although the surrender of arms is a
necessary precedent of payment, where a
soldier without arms can prove lit* saw
service, lie will be paid.

BUTCHERS AS EMBALMERS.
Sworn Statement Before tin* Pirn* Fond
Commission.
Chicago. Ills.. May 9.—To the Sena
torial Pure Food Investigating commit
tee to-day Prof. A. S. Mitchell, chief
chemist of tin* Wisconsin Dairy and
Food commission, made tin* sworn state
ment that nearly every butcher in
Illinois used preserving liquids on scraps
of meat which they laid aside for the
manufacture of Hamburger steak and
other delicacies.
The chemist first told of his test of a
liquid known as “Preezine,” saying it
had been ttsed extensively by farmers
to keep milk and butter, it lieing tin*
custom to mix it with the former in
small quantities and pour quarts of it
into vats for the preservation of butter.
“This •freezine’ I have found to lie
nothing less than almost pure formic
aldehyde,” said the expert. "This is a
chemical that acts disastrously on the
tissues of tin* stomach.”
The Professor told of his experiments
with a fluid sold extensively to butchers
' for the purpose of making their Ham
burger steaks last and keep up a healthy
appearance.
"This liquid contains in great percent
age what is known as sulphide of soda
witli a complement of coloring matter.”
lie continued, "it is styled an antiseptic
and in certain respects it is. It must
be borne in mind, however, that where
fermentation and waste are arrested tin*
digestive properties are consequently de
stroyed.”
Dr. Wiley, the Government expert,
who examined the antiseptic without
going on the stand, said In* identified it
as practically the same chemical which
was used during bis experience at a
medical college to preserve cadavers, and
was now occasionally put to service in
disinfecting houses where sin illpox pa
tients resided.
