FILIPINOS MORE VIGOROUS.
.Manila, July 22, via San Franeise.j,
Cal.. August 24. —In Manila talk of the
ending of the war steals no longer with
weeks but with months anid even years.
The whole effort of the insurgents fpi
th ree months was to hold off the Ameri
cans until their ally, the rains, came.
They have been as successful as they
could have hoped. Unless affairs take
sonu* u n for seen turn, the Filipino® will
resume the war this fall with fresh
spirit amid a replenished stuck of arms
and ammunition. One shipload of anus,
it is learned on good authority, has
reached them within this week. Os
money, tlie lenders of the insurrection
have no lack. I hey control t in* resources
of a large and exceedingly rich country,
and! even though no rrojis were harvest -
ed for several years, they could still ob
tain enough cash and supplies by impres
sing to their use the treasures of tin*
church, the storehouses of farmers and
manufacturers, and funds of private in
dividuals. All the ships coming and go
ing into ports recently opened to trade
pay heavy tribute to the insurgents.
Much of the profits of this informal
sort of government are supposed to go
into the pockets of the leaders, except
Agisinaldo, who is‘ generally acquitted
of enriching himself by tin* present war.
Reports brought through the lines to
Spaniards and Filipinos in this city are
that the spirits of the insurrectionists are
improving.
Through the American secret service
come different stories, that the Filipino
army is becoming decimated by deser
tion to tin* number of 20 or .‘SO a day and
are fast losing heart an dare on the
verge of disruption. ,
Almost since tin* l>egi inning of the war
they have pictured the Filipino army as
eii its last legs, and its collapse but a
question of days. General Otis caused
the country to be placarded with an
offer of thirty dollars for each insurgent
rifle voluntarily surrendered. Ii the Fi
lipino soldiers were deserting by com
panics, tired of the war and converted
to American rule, .many of them might
be expected to bring their guns into tin*
American; lines and receive tin* reward.
The tut ire harvest from- tills offer, how
ever, has been less than 100 guns.
There was a time when Aguin.i Ido’s
biggest army bung in the balance, when
its destruction appeared Inevitable. That
was when iMacArthur h ut cap;u red San
Fernando and Lawton was marching
upon San Isidro with lhe Filipinos seat
sering before him. Lawcm had uiiuie
himself a terror to the insurgents he
e.-'!>-'(* !/1 obstacle stopjK-d him.
With Lawton at San Isidro the rebels
feared lu* might sweep around upon
Tarlae. where they had installed their
nomadic capital and catch them between
two armies. All the archives, seals, gilt
triangles and treasure boxe were packed
for shipment on the railroad at the first
word of Lawton’s advance.
Lawton asked to be allowed to do it
with the men and rations he had. But
orders came to withdraw his troops
from San Isidro and return to Malolos.
leaving small garrisons at some of the
towns In* had captured. His retire
ment tin* Filipinos construed into a re
treat, and from that day the sinking
hopes of the insurrection seemed to
rise. Luna and Maseardo, who had re
treated northward frjtm San Fernando
toward Tarlae brought their armies back
and proceeded to construct a horseshoe
of intrenchments a round San Fernando,
where, according to reports they led
their followers to believe they had Mac-
Arthur besieged.
The assassination of Luna was ex
pected to bring the whole Filipino or
ganization to civil war, but its only re
sult so far as outward appearances go,
was to leave Aguinaldo the undisputed
leadership. The Filipinos are encourag
ed by the handicap the rains impose upon
the Americans and the departure of the
volunteers. They read the American
newspapers and think the home senti
ment against war is growing.
Their policy, after the rains, will he
as it was before —a campaign for gain
ing time and wearing out their oppon-
ents.
They profess to imagine that Congress
will declare against annexation. If
Congress fails them they will try to pro
long the struggle until tin* Presidential
campaign, with the expectation that one
of tin* political parties will declare
against imperialism and hope that such
a party may win. To whip them while
they are pursuing such tactics, an army
will be needed that can move rapidly
and strike day after day, following up a
victory without having to wait for ra
tions and thus giving tin* enemy no time
to reorganize. To capture them, most
of tin* generals here think, cavalry will
be necessary.
HANGED FOR ASSAULT
JULIUS ALEXANDER, A NEGRO, SWUNG OT
AT CHARLOTTE.
Negre-s From Greensboro found Murdered in
Charlotte’s Outskirts Her Lover
Arrested for the Crime.
Charlotte, N. C., Aug. 24.—Julius
Alexander, colored, was privately hang
ed here at 10:22 this morning for as
saulting a white woman last February.
He showed no signs of nervousness, con
fessed the crime and said the penalty
was just. A colored preacher, in a talk
on the scaffold, said Alexander’s crime ,
was “one for which we are glad to see
the law carried out.”
A NEGRESS MURDERED.
Charlotte, X. C.. Aug. 24. —A colored
woman named Jane Brown, from
Greensboro, N. C., was found murdered
in the outskirts of this city this after
noon. A negro named Win. Truesdale
from Camden, S. C., was arrested for
the crime. He had blood stains on- his
clothes. The woman came here yester
day and had Truesdale arrested for
breach of promise, but compromised the
ease.
RUIN THE STORM WROUGHT.
Norfolk, Va., August 24. —Accounts '.n
many respects conflicting continue to
come in from the Albemarle and Pamlico
Sound region and the coast from Hat
terns to Body’s Island, in which section
the greater number of casualties occurr
ed as a result of the great storm of
August loth to 18th Inclusive. As this
section of broad waters is the artery for
small craft from the region tributary To
Chesapeake Bay and as far north as
Philadelphia to the north Georgia coast,
the li uni Iter of vessels traversing these
inland seas is always great, and it is
even yet almost impossible to state how
many were caught in the storm and
anything near the number that will fail
to answer roll call, but masters of craft
in front that region state that small
schooners, puaigies, sloops and fishing
craft wrecked, ashore, broken up, sunk
or turned over arc to be seen almosit
hourly in a trip through the sounds, and
it is now thought that the total drowned
will run close to 100 if it does not over
reach it, while at least, on Swan, Hog
and other islands in the vicinity, at
Portsmouth, Big and Little Kinnakeet,
Oeraeoke and smaller points, fully sixty
to seventy houses, four or five churches
and numerous stores, learns and ware
houses were either washed away or
damaged beyond repair, and as a result
mint hers are homeless and destitute,
many others have lost crops and flocks.
Stock and' implements and the fishing
interests has suffered greatly. (In a
tew days a fairly complete report can
he made, hut at present rumors out
weigh true statements and an accurate
footing of the damage cannot be
reached.

Newport News, Va., August 24.—Mrs.
Georgia L. Bomeman, wife of (Monies
E. Borneman, proprietor or a bakery
here, has eloped with a negro nnimM
George Waddell, who is almost coal

The couple met by apopintmuit on the

London, Aug. 24.—The Marquis of
Salisbury silent this afternoon and even
ing with Queen Victoria. It is believed
the grave situation of affairs in the
Transvaal was partly resixmsible for
the Premier’s visit to Iler Majesty.
Gibraltar, Aug. 24. —The Manchester
regiment, numbering 1,000 men, has
sailed for Cape Town.
Capo Town, Aug. 24. —The Delagoa
Bay incident, coupled with the recent
transit of a large amount of ammuni
tion lets directed the attention of the
British officials to the immense accumu
lation of munitions of war in the South
African Republics, especially in Ihe
Transvaal.
The Outlanders arc debarred from car
rying arms, the supply of wea|xms, as
shown in Louarenzo Marques (Delagoa
Bay) returns for three years, is greatly
in excess of the Burgher’s requirements,
and consequently there is a growing
feeling among the British community in
South Africa that no settlement of the
existing crisis will ensure lasting peace
unless it includes a provision for the re
duction of armaments.
Durban, Natal. Aug. 24. —Tin* men be ;
longing to fbi* British first class reserve,
residing here have been ordered to hold ;
themselves in readiness to rejoin their

Johannesburg, Aug. 24. —At a meeting
here of two hundred Germans, a com
mittee was appointed to express to the
Transvaal Government the willingness
of the Germans to volunteer for service
in case of war, but requesting that they
be enrolled in a separate corps on ac
count of the hardships endured by the
Germans in the Magato campaign.
Southampton, Aug. 24. —The British
steamer Arundel Castle sailed from this
port today with thirty officers and 770
men of various regiments bound for
Cape Town.
WAR MATERIALS FOR BOERS.
London, August 24.—The Cape Town
correspondent of the Daily Mail says:
“Despite the virtual blockade of war
material in Delagoa Bay, the Capo Gov
ernment is sending enormous consign
ments of munitions of war to Bloein
fontaine. During the present month
over two million cartridges have lws>n
sent and 500 rilles were disp itched last
night from Port Elizabeth to Bloem
•fontaine.
“In addition t.o this, the Cape Minis
try, while absolutely deelinlg to arm
tin? volunteers of the Colony, continues
to afford other facilities' to the Orange
Free State, to arm its burghers just
across the water, freely granting tin*
use of the colonial railways for the dis
tribution of cartridges from the Bloem*
fontaine arsenal to the lwmler towns.
“The patience of tin* people is *ne
coming exhausted, and unless the Im
perial Government acts quickly and de
cisively the gravest damage may ensue
to British prestige.”
Cape Town, Aug. 24.—Tie Transvaal
Government, it is asserted by tin* Barb
erton News, desires an opportunity to
climb down without offending the amour
propre of tin l Burghers, hut if no oppor
tunity is afforded, then war will not he
shirked.
A YOUNG LADY SHOT DEAD.
It Was An Accident and the Slayer is
Prostrated With Grief.
Beaufort, N. C., Aug. 24. —(Special.)—
Mrs. Geo. Taylor, of Rogue, whose hus
band keeps a store near the scene of
the Weeks’ murder, accidentally shot a
young girl, Dora Taylor by name, today.
Mr. Taylor was absent at the time, and
as Miss Taylor came into the store, Mrs.
Taylor asked her if she did not want
to see her new pistol. At the same
time she handed tho weapon to the
young lady, when by some means her
finger touched the trigger, there was a
Hash and report, and Miss Dora fell
dead.
Mrs. Taylor is prostrated by the shock.
It is feared she will go insane.
THE KAISER REFUSE'S.
He Will Not Accept the Resignation of
the Cabinet.
Berlin, Aug, 24.—The correspondent
of the Associated Press, learns authori
tatively that Emperor William has re
fused to accept the Cabinet’s resigna
tion. Later, however, a partial re-or
ganization of the Ministry will be made.
The position of Dr. Von Miquel, the Vice
President of tin* Council of Ministers,
and Prussian Minister of Finance, is as
strong as ever, and this shows the im
probability of a dissolution.
DEWEY VISITS NICE.
Nice, France, Aug. 24.—Admiral
Dewey, accompanied by Flag Lieuten
ant T. M. Brumby and tin* United States
Vice Consul here, this morning returned
the visit made by M. Granet, Prefect
of the Alpes-Maritimes, who showed the
visitors through the rooms of tin* Pre
fecture, tin* former palace of the Kings
of Piedmont. The party then called on
General o’Farrell, the acting military
Governor, whom Admiral Dewey thank
ed for the ]K*rmission In* had received
to land and drill his men at Villefranche
during the remainder of the cruiser
Olympia’s stay at that place.
The inhabitants of Nice gave Admiral
Dewey an ovation its he passed through
the streets. He returned to Yille
franche at noon.
PORTO RICAN QUESTIONS.
Washington, August 24.—1 tis believed
in high quarters here that many of tin*
important questions relating to Porto
Rico will Ik* left for Congress to deal
with, instead of being settled by e;e
eutlve action. One of these males to
the free exchange of commodities be
tween Porto Rico and this country.
Another plan of relieving Porto llico
was to permit Iter tobacco to eiit-r
Cuba free of duty. This would give
an easy market to Porto Rican tobacco,
but the point has been raised that It
would depress Cuban tobacco.

FAMISH SEEKING GOLD
rescu: of deluded adventurers at
KOTZEBUE SOUND.
Many Died of Starvation, Scurvy and Drown
ing. Lieutenant Jarvis, Commander
of the Bear, the Rescuer.
Washington, August 24.—Captain
Shoemaker, of tin* Revenue cutter ser
vice, today received a report from Lieu
tenant D. 11. Jarvis, tin* commander of
the revenue cutter Bear, containing an
account of the rescue of the gold seek
ers who rushed into the Kotzebue gold
country, Alaska, in the summer of 1898.
Lieutenant Jarvis was taking the Bear
north to Cape Barrow on her regular
trip. At Cape Prince of Wales he
learned of the awful destitution which
had overtaken the gold seekers at Kotze
bue Sound. On arrival there he found
a terrible condition of affairs. Men
had died of starvation, scurvy and by
drowning and he obtained a list of 48
deaths. But the list is by no means
complete. This list has been published
in the Associated Press dispatches. Over
one thousand of the gold seekers had
wintered there. The Bear after reliev
ing as much of the distress as possible,
and leaving stores, lime juice, etc., for
the survivors took eighty-two of the sur
vivors to Saint Michael, where they
were turned over to the military authori
ties. Lieutenant Jarvis reixirted that he
left between 225 and 259 survivors at
Kotzebue Sound. Hi* informed the De
partment that he would probably pro
ceed to Cape Barrow and upon his re
turn would touch at Kotzebue Sound
and pick up any who desired to return
with him. *
The rush into the Kotzebue country
was caused by false rumors of rich
strikes and misleading advertisements.
Iwo women and a young baby were
among those rescued. Another Woman,
too ill to move, was left in care of a
Quaker Missionary and liis wife.
Among the list of destitute ixusons
found there by Lieutenant Jarvis is
mention«*d G. W. Berry, of Virginia.
Lieutenant Jarvis who accomplished
the rescue of the gold seekers at Kotze
bue Sound, 'is tin* revenue marine offi
cer who distinguished himself in the
winter of 1897-98 by leading a relief
expedition! from Tanuuak, 300 miles Inf
low St. Michaels to Point Barrow. Over
1.500 miles of snow and ice in the dead
of winter In* pushed an expedition for
the relief of the ice-imprisoned whalers
at Point Rarmw. He arrived there
with almost 500 reindeers after four
months of almost indescribable hard
ships, It was the only Arctic relief ex
pedition ever attempted in inid-winter.
For his heroism on that occasion the
President reeomnu*nd«*d that Congress
give hi in a vote of thanks and award
him a gold medal.

Jouaust’s Support of Mercier and Unconcealed
Hostility Toward Labori Bodes 111 for
Dreyfus. Mod Exciting Day
of the Tri.l.
Rennes, August 24. —Today’s session
of the Dreyfus court .martial was mark
ed by one of the most; exciting scenes
of the trial. The proceedings opened
with tt skirmish entirely favorable ■to
the defence over Colonel Maurel, presi
dent of the court martial of 1894. who
admitted reading one of the secret docu
ments to the court which had not been
seen by the defence. He protested that
only one document was looked ar. alleg
ing that this sufficed to enable him to
form a conviction that could not be
shaken.
This protest made matters worse, l*e
j cause, as M. Labori pointed out, if hi*
perused one it was liis Ixmndon duty to
peruse all. Colonel .lonaust upheld Col
onel Maurel in his refusal to indicate the
nature of the document he read, but M.
Labor! announced that he would sum
mon Captain Freystatter. another mem
ber of the tribunal of 1894 and get his
version of what then passed behind the
backs of the counsel for the defence.
Colonel Maurel felt his position keenly,
and continually hesitated before replying
to M. Labori’* questions.
All this, however, was only prelim:■
nary to a fierce battle that ensued be
tween Labori igid General Meieicr, the
latter receiving reinforcements from
General Itoget. General Gotnse and Gen
eral De Boisdeffre, as well as individual
; assistance from Colonel Jouaust him
self.
M. Labori took General Mercier over
the whole ground of bis previous de
position. Tills led to several sharp pas
sages at arms between the advocate
and Colonel Jouaust. who unheld Mor
eier in refusing to reply ro several ques
toins which in the general opinion of
those ini the court were distinctly per
tinent.
Whenever General Mercier was cor
nered he declined to answer, and Colonel
Jouaust invariably supported him. M.
Labori protested most energetically, liis
words and manner breathed the deepest
indignation, but* tin* president of the
court martial was inflexible.
The intervention of Generals tlouse.
Roget and De Roisdeffre and Mnjot
La nth, who in rapid succession .mounted
tin* stage or rose in their seats and in
terposed remarks, was very exciting, and
carried 'tin* spectators along on a wave
of breathless interest. One after tin*
other of these officers, who were today
in full uniform, would jump up and
cry “I demand to he heard,” anl with
out further waiting, ascend the steps of
the platform! and begin a statement it:
support of a brother officer. Sometimes
four officers wen* on the steps at the
same moment. It was a marvelous dis
play of military clannishness. At one
time a perfect babel of voices reigned for
several minutes until (3olonel Jouaust in
tervened and restored order.
•M. Labori’s cross-examination was
successful so far as it went, hilt Col
onel Jouaust prevented him pressing liis
advantage to the utmost. In fact Jott
aust’s hostile attitude toward tin* coun
sel for the defence then and during tic*
cross-examination of the witness M. De
Grnndmnison evoked the severest criti
cism (mi the v part of the public present
and bodes ill for Dreyfus. Not only Col
onel Jouaust, hut the other judges dis
played considerable impatience during
Labori’s scathing cross-examination,
shifting restlessly in their seats and
drimvmi'ntg the table with, the tips of their
Ungers.
General Mercier faced Labori’s fire
with callous demeanor, standing on tin*
platform, his bands behind his back and
his face only half turned toward his
questioner. Once or twice a savage
look in the eyes ,an> elevation an the tone
and a swaying to and fro of the body
revealed the inner tires of resentment.
General Roget faced the court with tin
niiti* of unblushing effrontery. His hand
some but unsympathetic features ex
pressed the bitterest scorn, its he spun
around on his heel and with arms cross-
til. faced Labori or the audience or the
judges. 'He is extremely vain, and is al
ways striking attitudes for the benefit
of newspaiKT artists, quite a number
of whomi regularly attend the sessions.
This impertinent behavior was strikingly
illustrated today when he interrupted
M. Lalvori’s examination of General
Chamoin. which had resulted in M. La
bori’s scoring heavily against Merrier
with the exclamation: “This examina
tion is n waste of time.”
As a matter of fact that examination
of Chamoin showed Mercier in a very
had light, as it brought out that he* had
privately communicated to Chamoin, on
the first day of the secret sessions, a
report on the Panizzardi dispatch for in
sertion in the secret dossier. General
PIUOE FIVE CENTS.
Chatman admitted that lie was wrong in
accepting the report, but pleaded ignor
ance.
The report consisted of three pages,
of which the second and third, Chamoin
declared, contained fantastic, «aul in
fact, false representations.
Mr. Labori brought General Mercier
to the bar in reference to this. Mer
cier admitted that the reports emanated
front Du Paty De Clam, but they would
be interesting and perhaps useful to
Chamoin. Tlhis explanation was regard
ed as very lame, and, combined with
other shady actions, would damn Mer
cier as a witness in the eyes of any
impartial tribunal.
At the opening of the proceedings this
morning Colonel Jon a ust ordered that
tin* evidence of Penot, a friend of the
late Colonel Sandheer, Chief of the In
telligence Department, be read by the
court, which was done. This Testimony,
as given before the Court of Cassation,
set forth that Colonel Sandheer told
M. Penot that the brothers of Dreyfus
had offered 150,000 francs to settle the
ease, adding that Samlherr was so in
censed at tin* proposal that In* ordered
them out of his office.
Laitre Demange as a counter-blast
read tt note written by Samlherr on the
day of the interview of the brothers of
Dreyfus took place. It appeared from
•lliis note that tin* brothers imagined
that a plot was being hatched against
Dreyfus because he was a Jew, They
maintained the Captain’s innocenVe and
declared they would do everything in
their power to obtain his reinstatement,
saying that if necessary, they would
spend their whole fortune to arrive
at the truth.
T here was considerable stir In court
when the name of Colonel Maurel, who
was President <>f the Dreyfus court mar
tial of 1894, was called and tin* Colonel
appeared at tin* witness bar. He start
ed by emphatically denying that any
communication, verbal or written, was
made to tin* members of the court dur
ing the course of the trial. lit* said

A BLOODLESS VICTORY
THE TOWN OF “ MACOIRIS WON FOR
JIMINEZ.
His Triumph Now Seems Assured. The Revo
lution, Strong and Humane, Spreading
Rapidly Over the Island.
Puerto Plata, Santo Domingo, via
Cape Hayden, August 24.—Generals
Cacores, Vasquez and Branche, at the
head of 500 revolutionists, appeared be
fore Macoris. They left the great body
of their troops at the entrance to the
city and with twenty men, advanced
to the Governor’s house, demanding
surrender. Governor Castillo, thoroughly
cowed, repaired to the piaza without
making any resistance, and the delivery
of the park, fort, arsenal and Govern
ment buildings were effected. \l he rev
olutionists then formally occupied the
surrounding country, meeting with no
opposition.
In this way the revolution, strung and
humane, is rapidly advancing, avoiding
so far as possible, the shedding of
blood and winning sympathy by the
peaceful character of its methods. The
complete victory of the cause of Jimi
nez seems assured. There is no riieoU
on the eastern boundary.
Little is known here as to what is
going on at Monte Ohristi, though the
Government troops are still there, as
well as General Pepin.
Cape Haytien. August 24.—News has
been received here from Puerto Plata,
Santo Domingo that Sanchez Blanco
near Puerto Plata, and Moca have de
clared in favor of the revolution.
Puerto Plata also expects a similar
declaration on the part of Santiago.
General Pepin, the Governor of San
tiago, left the Province some time ago
to march on the insurgents, and it is
believed in Puerto Plata that Santiago
will rise and march on La Vega.
