w DEWEY MAKES REQUEST FOR TWO MORE WARSHIPS. THE INSURGENTS GROWING BOLDER Agulnaldo’s Fnroai In Pomntoa of En tire Island of Luson Outside of Manila and Gawlte. Advices from Manila state that the situation there is regarded as critical and it is understood that Admiral Dewey has asked (or an additional erniser and a battleship. The Spaniards assert that Gormany will take a coaling station and declare that Spain will retain 'the remainder of the islands. The insurgents are daily growing more aggressive and their attitude to ward the Americans is menacing. ■This aggressiveness, not to mention the seoret efforts of the ecclesiastical party to promote disturbances with the intention of leading the revolutionary government to oertaln ruin, has be come so serious that troops are now kept in barracks under arms, ready for notion at a moment’s notice. A feeling of insecurity and unrest exists. Many native workmen are leaving their employers with the open intention of joining the rebels. Hnnd- reds who are on strike in cigar faoto' ries and other establishments are re- oruiting Agninaldo's ranks. The “dictator" made a triumphal en try Into Malolos Saturday, formally taking possession of the new capital in the Saopaloc district. The signal oorps is putting down a cable from Cavite to Manila. Island of Luson la Held. The last Spanish garrisons at Uoooe and Laguna have surrendered and the whole island of Luzon is in the hands of the insurgents except at Manila and Cavite. Aguinaldo went to Lelollos on Fri day. He has announced his intention of oouvening an assembly of the Filip inos on September 10th in order to de cide upon the policy to be adopted by the insurgents. The correspondent at Manila of the Associated Press has had an interview with Aguinaldo. The insurgent lender pointed out the whole population on the Philip pine islands was willing to fight for their independence. It is undeniable that the action of the insurgents in pursuing the cam paign after an armistice was declared bus caused much useless suffering and destruction of property and lies anni hilated their every claim to be con sidered in nuy respect as the allies of the Americans. Their motive has been twofold. First, an implacable hatred of the Spanish, with an innate racial thirst for revenge, and, secondly, their am bition to place themselves on record before the world as a successful revo lutionary government, and as complete masters of the Luzon provinces and ns many adjacent islauds as they may have time to occupy before the Philip pines question has beon settled by the Paris commission. General Otis Shows Firmness. General Otis has attaoked the com plicated questions he inherited from General Merritt, his predecessor, with remarkable euorgy and decision, and is rapidly establishing order in every department where olmoB ruled before. He has been fully occupied with matters more intimately oonoeruing tho military government of Manila, and only receutly lias he been able to study exhaustively the insurgent question and to satisfy himself re garding the equity of the insurgents' claims, so as to solvo a problem prao tically nnopproached heretofore. Aguinnldo has persistently demand' ed, in tjrrns not too polito, various im possible concessions—for example, an occupation of the governor general's palace and other palaces, a written as surance that the insurgents will be permitted to occupy permautly their military positions around Manila and protection for the insurgent vessels by the American fleet, with many other claims, including an innooetit demand for a share of the booty captured by the Americans at Manila. PORTO RICAN COMMISSION. Spain’s Rapressntattves Ware Awaiting Instructions at Time of Nesting. A special from San Juan, Porto Rico, snys: The first joint meeting of the evacuation commissioners was held in the council chamber of the palace Saturday morning. It was exceed ingly formal. Major General Brooke, Rear Admiral Schley and Brigadier General Gordon, accompanied by their personal stall's, drove to the palace, where they were formally presented tc the Spanish commissioners. General Ortega, Brigadier of Maroino Vnlle- rino and Senor Agnila, auditor of war. 'Tho presentation was made by Captain Gi neral Mncias. Both commissions then rotired to the spacious council chamber, where credentials were exchanged. The Spanish commissioners wore most courteous. They explained that their embar rassment was due to the fact thnt their instructions had fail to arrive, though expeoted on the Alfonso XIII,overduo since Friday, and suggested an ad journment until Monday at 10 o'olock, to which the Americun commissioners promptly agreed. The American* commission also agreod to tho suggestion that the ses sions of the commission should bo -ecrot, so that if any questions of diplomatic character should arise, which if given publicity, might em barrass the work. •MILES VISITS PRESIDENT. A Formal anil Brief Call to Pay Heaped, to Chief Executive. A Washington special says: General Miles, accompanied by Oolonel Mioh- ler, of his staff, called at the white house Friday. The meeting between the president and the commanding general was com parntively brief, lasting about five minutes. It was not in tho nature of a con ference, in which questions relating to the war were dismissed, but was the formal call of respect usual on the re turn of a high official. The confer ence for more oxtended discussion of war will doubtless come later. ATLANTA MARKETS. conascrsi) wsrki.t.—57 Groceries. Rousted ooffoo #11.80, loss 50o per 100 tb 00.968.

NEW CURE FOR POISONING. linn tiled Almost to Death to Save His Life. Tho bleeding of a man almost to leatli in order to save bis life seems like a oontradiotion in terms,bat it is, nevertheless, a (not, according to the statement of tho obief of the medical ■taff of a London hospital The ouse a common enough one, a poor wretoh tired of life having taken a largo dose of laudanum iu order to put an effectual cud to his miseries. As noon an he was taken to the hos pital the physicians set to work with a stomach pump and exhausted all the usual methods^nown to the fraternity in treating cases of poisoning, but to no avail. The poison had passed from the man’s stomach into his blood, and in spite of everything he sank lower nnd lower, until he was aotunlly breath ing only flvo times in five minutes. The patient, according to the physioian, was practically dead, his blood, wliioh was circulating slowly in his body, beiug impregnated with the poison, when suddenly, with a brill iant inspiration, which it is believed marks a new era in the treatment of this form of poisoning, the physioian deoided that tho only way to get the poison out of the man’s body was to remove the blood which contained it. He knew as everybody knows, that the body ordinarily is equal to any demand made upon it, and will soon mannfaotnre'blood for itself, provided that the quantity of blood withdrawn from the veins is made up by a corre sponding quantity of a solntion of salt and water of the same degree of saltuoss as the blood itself. The risk was, of conrBe, enormous, but the ciroumBtanoes warranted the taking of it, for such life ns there was in the man’s body was good only for a short time, and was hardly life at all, Beeiug that consciousness had almost, if not outiroly, vanished. Accordingly,two pints of blood were taken from the man, and it was found to be “as black as ink." Two pints of salt solution were then injeoted into his veins, and in tho oourse of a few minutes he began to breathe more rapidly, and one by one the organs Beemed to begin to resume the nor mal exercise of their functions. For days the man had to be care fully treated, but now he’s thoroughly well nnd without any suspicion of having gone through the valley of the shadow of death. The Love Story of Bismarck’. Ufa, " But while the pillars of the world were shaking about him, Bismarok himself was enjoying one of the few intervals of quiet happiness whioh oheokered his Btorrny life. Few sweeter love Btories have ever been told than that which' ended on the 28th of July, 1817, in tho union of gentle Johanna voa Futtkammer with the bold and bearded giant whoso name was a by-word throughbut all respectable Prussia. The courtship had been a prolonged one, and the letters written during its progress by the anxious lover to his only sister, Malvina (afterword the wife of one of the famous Arnims), astounded the world years later with the proof that this grim man who could look un flinchingly upon a world in arms was as timid as a ohild in the presenoe of the woman whom he loved. But when onoe assured of her affeotion there was little sign of timidity in the slap-dash impetuosity with which he rode roughshod in true Bismarokian fashion over all the opposition of her parents. There is something irre sistibly comio in the vivid description of poor Herr von Puttkammer’s horror on discovering that his own daughter had given her heart to the dreadlul man who rode over hedge and ditch like a demon, let loose foxes among his lady cousins in the drawing room, aud broke his beer mug in a publio cafe upon the head of an nnluoky Radical who had given his views a little too freely upon “the right divine of Kings to govern wrong.” Himmell” cried the poor old gen tleman, “I ieel as if I had been felled with an axe!" But there was no re sisting this masterful wooer, who, bursting into the presenoe of his future mother-in-law while the latter was still trying to dissuade her daugh ter from marrying him, olasped tho blushing girl in a hng like that of a polar bear, gavo her a kiss that might have been heard across the road, and shouted in tones that seemed to shake the whole house, “Those whom God hath united let no man put asunderl” New York Times. i WORDS OF WISDOM.

The Chinese place a significance npon every color, and in connection with a wedding red obtains a doep- rooted mysterious importance, the next bridal oolor of value being gold. At a betrothal, the bridegroom-elect sends his sweetheart a pair of brace lets, fastened together with a piece of red ribbon or cord. The bride aud bridegroom drain two wine cups nt the wedding, whioh are also connected by a red cord. In northern China the attendants wear a tall felt hat, and each hat has a red feather stuck up right in it. The attendants also carry tho wedding presents. A sedan chair bears the bride herself. In south China a sedan most wonderfully gilded is used by tho wealthy classes, and it is decorated with what appears at first sight to bo brilliant inlaid stones, but which are in reality the glossy feath ers of the king-fisher. A handsome doth of glowing red with trimmed borders is also thrown over the chair. In the case of the poorer classes red is also the prevailing bridal color, and a chair of ordinary carved wood, painted a bright red, is used. Above the door of the chair a kind of charm is placarded or hung upon a red cloth. The chair itself is sent by the bride groom, accompanied by what corre sponds to our best man.

Light Emplqjrtri.iii, The Deutsche Zeitnng, Ban Paolo, Brazil, give* tome shameful particu lars of the “spoils”system as it pre vails in that oountry. One story, translated in the Literary Digost, bus an amusing side. Some time ago a general was sent to one of the northern States to investi gate the management of a Government railroad. He belonged to the set of men who have themselves obnoxious by their endeavors in the service of re form, and here are some of his ex periences: The very first day he found in one of the rooms of a railroad station a strong young man who was doing noth ing. Thinking the young fellow had come to see him he asked: “Do you wish anything, my friend?” “No, sir. I am employed here.” “Sol What are-your duties?” “I have to fill tho water jugs in the offloe every day.” >. The general was a little astonished. In the next foomhe discovered another able-bodied young man, smoking a cigarette. “Are you an employe?” he asked. ‘.‘Yes, sir. I am the assistant of the gentleman in the next room. ” Bnt that was nothing to what was to dome. The general had already been iniormed that the road employed eight een engineers, while only eight were working. He ordered that in future these men should at least take tarn about. The next day one of these “engineers,” a beardless youth, came to him and told him that he conld not run a locomotive to save his life. “Then how did you get cm the pay roll?” “Well, you see, general, it’s this way: My family are poor, but I wanted to study law. We’ve got some pull, so I managed to get an appoint ment as honorary engineer, to make a living while I pursue my studies.” A Literary Street.
