I resume work in the Painter mills, on the

Boer Attack Repelled
Cape Town, July 22. A number of
Poers who are invading Cape Colony
began an attack on Aberdeen at 7 flfcloek
one evening last week. They obtained
excellent shelter in a donga, but their
fire was ineffective. The militia, a part
of the town guard under Captain Miller
of the North Lancashire regiment, ad
vanced stendjly under a heavy fire and
drove the Boers from their position, the
burghers retreating precipitately. One of
the British was wounded. The Boers
renewed their attack the following night.
It was intensely dark and they made
it difflcult to locate them. They con
tented themselves with sniping at the
pickets until midnigrii, when the Ausr
tralian artillery, with a 13-pounder, dis
persed the Boers, who retired to the
mountains.

Without any warning Mr. Crawford be

: From the KIlzo Standpoint
Durham, N. C, July 22. Special.
Late this afternoon the following state
ment in reference to the unfortunate af
fair between Mr. R. B. Crawford and
Dr. .7. C. Kilgo was authorized by a
friend of Dr. Kilgo:
Some while ago there appeared in Th i
Post a report of a private, meeting of
the friends of Trinity College in Greens
boro, which Dr. Kilgo attended. At this
meeting Dr. Kilgo laid before them mat
ters of interest concerning the college.
In reports of this meeting to the pa pecs
it was said that Dr. Kilgo had made
some references to an editorial which
appeared in the North Carolina Chris
tian Advocate. It seems that the edi
torial, after mentioning the executive
of the. college has led to a -personal as
sault upon the president. Hut Dr. Kil
go's advocacy of the highest, strongest
and best type of education cannot, and
will not, fe thwarted by people who re
port to methods such as have been mani
fested today.
(ironndi efOflTents
The report in The Post of May IS, to
which Mr. Crawford took exceptions,
after reporting Dr. Kilgo at some
length in regard to the interests of Trin
ity College, continued as follows:
"Dr. Kilgo said he thanked God that
Trinity College had some enemies.
When certain men realized that they
could no longr use the college as a
political football, their wrath boiled
and they set about to cut the throats
of the men who made such a condition
possible. Referring to a veiled thrust
at Trinity in an editorial paragraph in
n religious paper " which mentioned the
fact that all the members of the execu
tive committee of the college were mem
bers of the North Carolina conference,
son tho minds of good, honest people in
so nthe minds of good, honest people in
the Methodist church against their in

ask where the xcittiveeeeeecee hrdlumm
ask where the executive committee re
sided when the college was located in
Randolph county, though he knows.
That looks lfke a type of politics that
has gone out of fashion, even among
cross-roads politicians.' He then ex
plained that the. members of the execu
tive committee tvere selected by the
trustees from the two conferences with
a view to convenience "
Five Cases of Yellow Fever
Havana, July 22. Five cases of yel
low fever are reported at Santiago de
Las Vegas, a town of 0,000 inhabitants,
Tittsfield. Mass., July 22. For the
first time since the Fosb.trgh trial be
gan, there was testimony today, the drift
of which those who are uot in the se
crets of the case for the State could un
derstand. James Fosburgh, the young
.brother of the defendant, who was grad
uated at Y'ale College at the last com
mencement, took the stand and proved
to be the most interesting witness that
has testified since the- opening of the
case. He was called by the pr sedition
to testify against his own brothel, who
is charged with slaying his own sister.
TTipkniably he made a very favorable
impression on the court.
Li his earnest, unaffetted manner he
hp told the .story of that awful night, of
being aroused soon after he had fallen
asltep by a terrible shriek and by the
sound of heavy falls upon the floor, and
all coming from the room upstairs whei e
his father and mother slept; of his leap
ing from bed, turning on an electiic
i'ght in his room and along the hall as
h:i rau in his night clothes ".n roponse
to this agonized scream; of his wn com
ing upon the dead body of his sNter ly
ing with her feet across the ihresnol.l
and her body stretched faceward i.ito
her bedroom; of his kneeling by her
side- of his lifting her heal and pulling
a pillow under the impression that she
had only fainted: of his father and
mother coming bleeding mid r.iscnevtied
and sinking down by the deal girl in
their turn; of his brother coming stag
gering into the room, an :nstan- after
and falling with crash to the floor, his
head resting a:id he unconscious within
a few inches from his dead sister; of
his own mad rush into the nigli hare-
fooled and but partly dressed, after a
doctor and on his return, of his broth
er's rising slowly from the floor by the
Lodv of tho murdered girl and saying
to him: "She is gone."
During all this testimony There was
hardly so much as -the rustling of a sheet
of paper in all the crowd in court. Mrs.
Fosburgh, the elder, for the second t'nie
during the trial, put her handkeichiff
to her eyes and was shaken with sob?.
So far, too, as one may judge from ap
pearances, several of the jurors were
deeply moved. There was in the very
simplicity of young Fosburgh" s i-aira-tive,
in its entire freedom of all effort
a force which gave it tremendous weight.
Washington, July 22. Today's mail
from Manila brought to the War Depart
ment copies f several interesting mili
tary orders, one of them being the record
in the trial of Juan Aganon, a native,
on the unusual charge of being a "war
rebel." Aganon was tried by a military
commission at Gerona in the province of
Tarlac. Capt. Robert K. Evans, Twelfth
Infantry, was president of the commis
sion, and Lieut. George H. Shields, Jr.,
was judge advocate.
The charge against Aganon was that
"without being part or portion of any
organized hostile army, and without
sharing continuously in the insurrection,
but living habitually at his home, follow
ing a peaceful avocation, without the
character or appearance of a soldier,
Aganon did order the inhabitants of th
Barrios of Pura to enter the pueblo for
the purpose of assassinating the chief .
of police and attacking', the American
troop:-, stationed there, and in compli
ance with these orders the pueblo ol
Pura was entered, the chief of polici
badly wounded and the telephone win
between Punt and Victoria cut."
The commission found Aganon guilty
and sentenced the prisoner to be hanged.
General Mac Arthur, however, commuted
the sentence to ten years' imprisonment,"
saying:
"It is shown that -the accused, whili
living within the lines of the American
forces in the guise of habitual peace
ful avocation, and without being a por
tion, of any organized hostile army or
having the - appearance or character of
a soldier, did actively exert his energies
to the assistance of the enemy and the
njnry of the American government, the
benefits of whose protection he was
accepting. It -is' shown that in obedi
ence to orders he -cut the telethon
wires, caused to be executed an attempl
at the assassination of the chief oi
police of Pura, resulting in the serious
wounding of that official; and that he pre
arranged an attack on the troops' there
stationed. Of such war rebels the laws
of nations and of war have definitely
fixed the status and tha authorized pen
alty is that of uGatii. lhe sentence is
confirmed, but in view of the dominant
political aspect of the case is commuted
to imprisonment at hard labor for the
term of ten years.
Another interesting story told in Gen
eral MacArthur s dispatches is that or
the crime, trial and punishment of one
Elias Agpalo, a native of the Philip
pines. Julias nal a love attair witn Aar
ciza Amigable, aged'eighteen years, and
to prevent her marriage to another man
Elias put to the sword, which m r jlipmo
is bolo, not only his sweetheart, but her
father and mother as well, while a neigh
bor who dropped in out of curiosity at
the close of the slaughter was hacked
about the -shoulders and arms. For all
of this Elias got fifteen years ia the
presidio.
In the words ,of the reviewing authori
ty, "Under the circumstances, to make
comment or remark is deemed needless
and nugatory, further than to concur in
the view expressed, by the department
commander that the sentence is deemed
inadequate."
