M .nil i. April 27.—Gen. Mae Arthur's di
„ , mossed the Rio Grande to-day and
r , I on Apalit, completely routing the
. -v■< r of the rebel army.
t of the rebels fled to Apalit station,
-!. re two trains were waiting them. They
, hurriedly, presumably for San Fer
| ! e towns of San Vlncento and Apalit
~.. simultaneously burned and evacuated
I, ,he natives.
Twenty prisoners were captured, inclui
nn a opamard.
The American troops also captured a
jmrs cannon and a quantity of arms and
immunition and the same evening they
•aptuted n Maxim gun on the railroad.
The fighting lasted from noon until <1
o'clock.
The American loss is one man of the
M -tuna r. giment killed, and three officers
in ,l six men ivounded.
Hon They Crossed the River.
The cm my were very strongly en
lr, | V .hcd in the river bank near both sides
.f ,hc railroad bridge. Gen. Wheaton sent
[■el I.a ton across with two companies
>f the Twentieth Kansas Regiment, acou
,l,, 0 f privates swimming the swift stream
nib a mpe under a galling fire, for the
ntuT'-e of guiding the raft. The ( men
,i m squads of twenty and attacked
[he left flank of the rebels, who scuttled
like rabbits into covered ways and
ire nches.
The rest of the regiment was compelled
lo cross the bridge in single fife along the
Hungers. All the woodwork and much of
[he iron work had been removed. The First
Montana Regiment followed the Kansas
tcrose the bridge.
The First Nebraska Regiment, acting as
a reserve attacked the rebels In three lines
if trenches, driving them out. killing six
teen and wounding many.
I.una’* Charge Repulsed.
In the meantime, a large Body of Fili
pinos, estimated at no fewer than 3,000,
in] by Gen. Antonio Luna, on a black
charger, that was evidently coming to re
inforce the rebels, who were engaged with
the Nebraskans, appeared in the open field
about two miles to the left.
•emerging from the jungle, the enemy
formed ar. open skirmish line nearly two
miles in length, with very thick reserves
benind. The men advanced at double
quick until they were about 200 yards from
the American line, when Gen. Wheaton
ordered his troops to fire.
The rebels, who were evidently unaware
that the Americans crossed the river,
broke and ran In the direction of Mac-
Abele. The other Filipinos fled toward
Apalit station.
The heat In the early part of the after
noon was terrific, but a drenching thun
derstorm, which came later, greatly re
freshed the Americans.
Energy of Lawton’s Men.
Gen. Lawton’s advance has been a re
markable demonstration of the resistless
energy which characterizes all his under
takings, The last tHpops forming his col
umn only reached Norzagaray to-day. The
men were badly played out, as during the
past two days they have dragged bullock
carts over roadless jungles and through
swamps, cutting their way for miles.
They will rest three days, and then with
Col. Summers’ command, consisting of the
Oregon and Minnesota regiments, the
troops will resume the march westward,
co-operating with Gen. MacArthu’s forces
in ihe important enterprise.

THE SCRIPTURES UPHELD.
Rev. J. i„ Scully'* Lecture Upon
“What an Old World Teaehe* l *.”
Rev. J. L. ScuHy, rector of St. Paul’s
Episcopal Church, lectured lo an apprecia
tive audience at the Guards’ hall last
night, upon the subject: “What an Old
World Touches Us.” The lecture was a
forcible and learned discourse upon the
discoveries that have been made during
the present century anent the writings and
history of the old Eastern peoples, and the
more recent decipherment of the cunei
form inscriptions of the Assyrians and
Babylonians.
The lecture was designed to show that
these discoveries and the facts of history
that they had revealed do not discredit the
truths of the Bible, but that on the con
trary they have received additional con
firmation and each discovery made more
evident their divine origin and inspiration.
The first step in the unravelling of the
meaning of the cuneiform inscriptions was
made by Grotefend, a German student and
philosopher, who, examining the writings
on some of the tablets,identified one of the
letters. His work was Continued by other
scholars, until now sufficient has been
learned of the language, imperishably pre
served qn tablets of burnt clay, to carry'
the history of this part of the world back
to a period 7000 B. C.
Recently an expedition sent out by the
University of Pennsylvania made other
and important discoveries, among them
what is thought with good ground to be
the ruins of the tower of Babel, a photo
graph of which ancient structure was
brought back to this country. Besides
this the expedition found upward of 20,000
of the tablets bearing the cuneiform in
scriptions which were also brought to this
country and deciphered and which have
added greatly to the knowledge of the sci
entific world concerning the origin and
early history of the Aryan race.
Through these discoveries and others of
analagotfs nature, the identity of the
Aryan .peoples has been established and
languages of modern Europe traced back
and through the Sanskrit tongue. The
civilizations of the past have been re
vealed to the eye of the scholar, and thvt
which a few years ago was unknown and
thought to be unknowable established al
most with the certainty of mathematical
demonstration.
“But these discoveries,” said Mr.
“have done a greater and more important
good in the light that they have thrown
upon the truth of Divine revelation. They
have disproved beyond dispute or quibble
the criticisms of the rationalists and have
added certainty to our faith in the Biblical
accounts of the creation and the fall.
These criticisms of the rationalist philoso
phers are based principally upon the con
tention that the Hebrews were a rude and
savage people in the earlier stages of their
history, and if this contention is shown to
be incorrect, rationalistic criticisms upon
the inspiration and truth of the Scriptures
fall to the ground. The discoveries have
i hown that the Hebrews must have ranch
id a comparatively high scale of civiliza
tion and that all deductions drawn from
the assumption that they were savages
are based upon a false premise and cannot
be maintained.”
i Mr. Scully's lecture was Illustrated by
diagrams upon the blackboard, upon which
had been drawn the Assyrian account of
the creation, written in the cuneiform
characters. Diagrams and charts were also
shown to make clear and plain the sub
jects that were being discussed. The lec
ture was technical, necessarily, but in its
descriptions of the scenes where the stir
ring dramas of the olden time were enact
ed and in its argument of the Divine in
spiration of the essential truths of the
Christian religion forcible, vivid and elo
quent.
EVIDENCE FOR CIRRY TRIAL.
Witnesses Testify Strongly Against
the Lieutenant.
If Chatham county has to pay the ex
penses of all the witnesses who are
brought here to testify In the trial of
Lieut. Curry for killing the artilleryman,
Leo Reed, the cost of the trial will be con
siderable.
Coroner Goette said yesterday that he
has a list of fourteen witnesses, one of
wTTom is in Manila, two in Cuba and one
at P<4rr Royal. The coroner has taken the
testimony of several of the wit
nesses here for use by the
state. The testimony so far taken
is very much against Lieut. Curry, the
witnesses testifying that he was in a high
ly hilarious condition on the night of the
killing, and had created considerable ex
citement in both the Pink Light and the
Red Light saloons before the affair with
Reed began in the former saloon. This
evidence is in direct contradiction to
that of the members of Lieut. Curry’s reg
iment's, whose affidavits were submitted
to the court at the time the application for
bail was made.
No inquest was held at the time of the
killing, as it was supposed that both men
being In the service of the government the
trial would be entirely a military affair.
The witnesses for the slate are soldiers,
sailors and other persons of a transient
character, for the most part, all of.whom
may not decide to remain fin the city until
the time of trial and hence the necessity
for getting their evidence.
CITY BREVITIES.
The residence on the southwest corner
of Gordon and Whitaker streets recently

been renovated inside and outside and Is
now a very neat looking building. Capt.
Fitzgerald and his family will move into

DR. BACHMAN'S MEETINGS.
A Large Congregation Heard Him
at Lawton Memorial.
Rev. Dr. Bachman had a large congre
gation at the Lawton Memorial last night.
He read a short scripture lesson from
Luke, fifteenth chapter. Before beginning
his discourse, he said he believed the
father in the story of the prodigal son
illustrated God the Father; the shepherd
In the story of the last sheep illustrated
God the Son, and by Inference the woman
in the story of the tost piece of silver illus
trated God the Holy Ghost. The Joy illus
trated was not the angels' Joy, but the joy
of God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost
in the presence of the angels.
After the singing of that soul-stirring
hymn, “Jesus Saves,” Dr. Bachman took
for his text Matthew 4:19: "Follow me and
I will make you fishers of men.” He
said his subject was “Soul Winning.” All
a man needs to do to win souls, he said,
is to follow Christ. Christ was a man <-f
prayer. The man or woman who would
win souls must be men and women of
prayer. He loved souls. One thing that
this poor dark world world needs to-day
is love. If we would win souls we must
follow Christ and learn to love them like
Christ. Christ was definite. He worked
with individuals.
If we would win souls, said Dr. Bach
maji, we must follow Christ and be defi
nite in our work. Work with individuals,
and not with the multitude.

the enemy with absolute contempt. Ap
parently they shot then as they do now.
In most of these expeditions was Tomo
chlchi, then upward of 90 years of age,
but full of Are and bravery and devotion.
His impetuosity ws such, that In the ex
pedition to Amelia Island it was with dif
ficulty that Oglethorpe could restrain him
from attacking an overwhelming force of
the enemy. We can Imagine how desper
ate must have been the circumstances
which made Oglethorpe conservative. But,
my friends, bravery Is no such uncommon
thing that we must needs raise monu
ments to It alone. It Is everywhere and
of all times. With Jackson at Port Repub
lic; with Pickett at Gettysburg; with Sko
beleft at Plevna; with Sidney at Zutphen;
with Oglethorpe on the Danube and at
Bloody marsh. It has stood upon the
brink of a crater and poured tins fire of
artillery Into the face of a triumphant
host, unmindful of the fate which looked
into its eyes, and it has walked up the
steep incline of Cemetery Ridge and so
left Its record that without monument or
mark the generous thought of mankind
stands uncovered at the recollection of
the deed. Still, common as is this attri
bute, It pleases us to know that he who
was Georgia’s friend was a warrior In
truth as in name.
The Old Chief’s Visit to England.
"A break in the routine of his life came
when, upon the Invitation of Oglethorpe,
and in company with several of his
warriors, he embarked for England to visit
the King. The ai>pearance of these nlljes
of the crown created the greatest interest
in that country. TAmoohlcbi seems to
have been able to preserve the dignity
or his demeanor before monarch and sub
ject, and all the entertainment which was
lavished upon him did not turn his
thoughts from his own responsibilities nor
his heart from his own home. All the
great eights and Institutions of England
were shown him and the people vied with
each other to make his stay memorable
and Impressive. At Eton he was usked
what might be done to signalize his visit,
and he replied by requesting a holiday
fo the boys. When at his audience with
the Archbishop of Canterbury that ven
erable prelate, burdened with his seventy
years, Insisted on standing as he address
ed Tomochlchl, that vigorous Georgian,
being only ninety-two years of age, at
•he conclusion of the remarks, forbore
lo respond for fear that It would mean
discomfort to his host! An incident which
reflects credit upon Tomochlchl and is
proof conclusive that there are circum
stances under which a Georgia orator can
resist the temptatiolfi to talk. As he look
ed from day to day upon the civilization
which surrounded him, the comfort and
order and splendor, his thought was to
bring back to Georgia all that he could,
and to (his end he begged that mission
aries might be sent to his people that
they might know the truth. It Is not
too much to say that It was largely Ire
cause of this insistence upon the part of
Tomochiehl that the Wesleys came to
Georgia. During the tieriod of his stay
his bearing and thought and conduct were
those of a gentleman; considerate of oth
ers, and manly under all circumstances.
"But this life upon which the welfare
of the colony so largely depended, and
which had extended far beyond' the alot.
led time of man, began to draw to a close.
On Oct. 5, 1739, In the midst of his people
and with a mind full of affectionate re
membrance of Oglethorpe and of constant
Interest In the colony and Its future he
passed away still thW'Mader of his own
people and having the respect and honor
able consideration of the people of our
race who had come to his shores.
"Time had laid Its hand upon his heart
Gently, not smiting it;
But as the harper iaya Ms open palm upon
his harp
To deaden Its vibrations.”
"Because of his part in founding the col
ony, it was hUt wish to be buried in Ha
vannah. So they brought him here with
all the circumstance artd state which the
limes and surroundings permitted. There
mny have been in our history larger dem
onstrations in honor of the dead; there
was never a greater than on that occasion
Moving to the sound of mfnute guns, there
came In procession to this square the gen
eral and all the chief men of the town. Pa
magistrates and ail its people. As his
aiaine had been u|m>iT the lip* of all. so the
remembrance of hb services and character
wa:- in their hearts. We can*lmagrr.c the
solemnity of that scene. It was the first
great grh r of the whole people, and what
ever of honor they had to bestow was
freely glvtn. And so he was buried on this
spot, as tradition tells us, and it wa* di
rected by Oglethorpe that a pyramid of
Georgia store should mark the place. And
now, m jears ufter, come again the chief
mm of the town, with its magistracy and
it* people, that In their presence the pledge
male in their behalf by the great founder
of the co.ony may fce carried into offe-t
and the memory of Georgia’s friend and
ally be petpeiuaied for all lime In Geor
gia rock. What if tradition be wrong and
we have missed the spot where he was
laid to test! We know that it was within
7
the boundaries of this square, and what
matters It where he lies. He Is all Geor
gia dust by now, and, therefore, all Geor
gia Is his grave. This massive fragment
of Oeorgla granite will stand here 6 tong
as the people, of Savannah shall be true to
themselves and be a monument at once to
the claims of the dead and the gratitude
of the living.
Tom-o-ehl-rlil a Georgian,
"Let me., as I draw lo the close of theso
brief remarks, congratulate this society,
which Is doing so much to perpetuate the
history and memories of Georgia, that it
should have occurred to Its members to lift
a memorial first to a Georgian. There la
nothing In his career of which we need feel
ashamed. He was brave, true, hospitable
and generous. To the mind of a states
man and philosopher and warrior were
added the instincts of a gentleman. 'Ha
earned and enjoyed In life the respect and
esteem of those who had come to his laud
and ot h,s death receive the tribute of
their affectionate regret. Not the least
claim upon us is that he loved the land
of his birth. He besought Oglethorpe to
use his influence to bring the Yemassaes
back to Georgia that they might look upon
their graves before they died. Dow often
has that spirit of allegiance to this soil
and sky tugged with the strength of a
strong man at the chords of our hearts!
How often, as our feet have pressed her
sod, has it seemed to spring responsive
to our tread and thrill with conscious
presence through our being! O, land of
our fathers! I,and which the great and
good have blessed and consecrated with
their lives and names and deeds, let us
not In these newer times, when wlnfls be
gin to rise and storms to blow and all
seems dark.and strange and troublous, for
get that here is out safe anchorage and
here our haven sure! From every round
ed hill come back the echoaa of her great
ness; from every sweeping plain flare up
the signals of her fame. From Bloody
marsh lo Gettysburg, from Tybee Roads
fo China’s sea, her name, writ large across
the face of history, glows with eternal
light. Let us hold to our ideals, to our
traditions, to our past! Let us cling with
the tenacity of fate to our faith In her
greatness and her destiny! Let us live
for her and die for her, and when the
end shall eome pray, like Ihe old warrior
whose memory we keep alive, that we,
too, may rest beneath her sod.
"Georgia, my native stnte! my cherished
home!
Hallow’d alike by smile and tear,
May glory o’er thee build her dome
And fame her temples rear!
I love thee for the burning sky
’Nealh which my feet have ever trodj
I love thee for the forms that lie
Cold, cold beneath thy sod!
One hope Is lo my heart most dear;
One boon at fortune’s hand I crave:
Fate made me date my being here—
Let fate make here my grave.”
"On behalf of the Georgia Society of the
Colonial Dames of America, I now dedi
cate this rock lo Ihe memory of l’omo
chlchl, the King of the Yamaeraws; the
companion of Oglethorpe, and Ihe friend
and ally of the colony of Georgia. For
countless ages has It stood amid tiie blue
hills of Georgia typifying the strength and
majesty of the stale which was lo come
and the stern qualities of those who wer*
to make her groat. Here let It rest forever,
no I only In honor of the Illustrious dead,
hut as the breezes of the sea shair play
about its constant strength and the soft
light of our skies fall like a benediction
upon its rugged form, that ail of us may
feel that the mountains of Georgia have
sent ihdr message lo her sandy coast-dhO
message of unity and comradeship and
loyalty.”
The Inspiring lines quoted by Mr. Charts
ton In the conclusion of his address were
written by Judge Robert M. Charlton,
father of the speuker, a well known Jurist
and for many years one of Savannah’s
most distinguished citizens.
Among the Interested listeners to the
address was a line looking man In the uni
form of a private soldier, but who was
hardly able to move about with the aid of
n cane. He was one of the members of the
Second Infantry, which was at Santiago
and who has not yet recovered from the
'hardships of that campaign.
Mr, Charlton wuh heartily congratulated
upon his eloquent address by the ladles of
the Colonial Dames and others present.
