(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
Manila. April 18.—The small gunboats
that the United States bought or cap
tured from Spain, vesels of the Leyte,
Samar. Mindora and Pampanga type, are
commanded by young naval officers and
do patrol duty along the coast. The
Mindora, Ensign McCarthy commanding,
h..: just returned from the northwest
coast of Luzon, where for two months
ehe had been steaming back and forth,
looking for filibusters. Such duty Is mo
notonous to a degree, a heavy sea or a
hot sun being about the only difference
from one day to another. But now and
then excitement does come to this patrol
an) tlie weary work of months is for
gotten in the hope of a good capture or
a good fight.
Two weeks ago, at 2 o’clock, of n misty
morning, the vigilant watch on the Min
doro, cruising north of Aparri, spied a
steamer's lights and the gunboat was
headed to cross the stranger’s bows. No
especial interest was attached to the
etranger vessel by the crew of the gun
boat, for the coastwise traders are al
ways slipping in and out of Aparri. Still,
it lis the duty of the patrol to ascer
tain what all vesels are doing, as any
one may be on illegitimate business. The
Mindoro was running without lights. She
had come to within a mile and a half of
the stranger, when the latter suddenly
changed her course and the heavy clouds
of smoke that rolled from her funnel
told those on the gunboat that she was
going to run away. Then hope dawned
in the hearts of the coast patrol. After
waiting and watching for two months,
porhaps they had at last found an enemy.
The jingle bell rang in the engine room
and the Mindoro gathered headway for
the chase.
“Fire a shot well across her bow.” com
manded Ensign McCarthy, and the six
pounder harked its arbitrary orders over
to the stranger. She paid no attention.
•’Give her another well clear’’—came the
order from the bridge. But. the second
rr.mmons was unhe’eded like the first.
“Drop one over her this time, so she’ll
beer it pass.’’ ordered the Ensign, and
the gunner obeyed. The stranger an
swered this third and decisive summons
by putting out her lights and throwing
tmek a roll of black smoke that hid her
fiom the view of the pursuing gunboat.
To say the crew of the Mindoro were hope
ful and jubilant, but faintly expresses
their enthusiasm. The stranger had given
every proof of being an enemy. Her dis
regard of the third summons to halt
branded her as such, and the Instruction*
given to the sea sentry are like those
given to the sentry on land:. “Fire if
the third order to halt is disregarded.”
Thought Her H Prlxe.
Here was a prize in their very grasp.
She was surely a filibuster "trying to land
aims, or a steamer conveying the fugitive
Aguinaldo to Hong Kong. No such cap
ture had been made in a yeer, and the
Patient waiting and watching of the Min
doro were at last to be reworded. There
were the best of good reasons to believe
this. Why should any honest ship run
from the third summons to halt knowing,
as all ships do, what comes after?
The Mindoro was doing her eight and a
half knots and the stranger was a mile
ahead, hidden by the smoke from her fun
nel.
"Can you get a sight on her?” asked
the bridge of the gunner.
"No. sir: nothing but her smoke.”
“Open fire on her—3,ooo yards," and fol
lowing this order, the 6-pounder sent shot
after shot into the cloud of smoke ahead.
After the fifth shot there were three sharp
reports from the direction of the stranger
nnd three bullets sang over the gunboat’s
deck. Then the crew of the Mindoro pos
itively cheered—they were so happy. They
cleared the ship for action, brought on
deck their twelve Lee rifles and a liberal
■ upplv of ammunition for all her guns.
There was no doubt of it now; here was
the best chance that had ever come to
a coast patrol since the work began.
After the eighth shot from the 6-pound
er the stranger blew long blasts on her
steam whistle and then slowed down. The
Mindoro ran through her trailing smoke
and in a few minutes was close to a
Mack [tainted steamer, her light again lit
and her decks crowded with men. Kre
sign McCarthy called away a boat with
an armed crew and prepared to board.
As he left the Mindoro's side a voice from
the stranger callpd in good English: "Are
you an American ship?” McCarthy, not
wishing to give the supposed enemy the
advantage of any information concerning
Ms identity, especially when one-third of
Ms available fighting force were an easy
mark In on open boat, replied: “I will
speak with you when I board you.”
As the Mindoro’s boat approached the
strange steamer the same question was
again shouted to the ensign and he an
swered it as he had done the first time.
At length Ensign McCarthy mounted
the stranger’s gangway and on reaching
her decks he noticed they were crowded
with fr.ghtened and astonished Filipinos.
"Tell the Caplain of this ship I want to
sec him upon the bridge at once,” ordered
the American officer, and he walked for
ward. At this moment a man in pajamas
overtook him and introduced himself as
MaJ. Whitely of the Sixteneth Regiment.
”1 am Ensign McCarthy, commanding
the United States gunboat Mindoro,” an
swered the navai ofiicer. ”1 am very
glau to meet you, sir.”
The Situation Explained,
MaJ. Whitely. Ensign McCarthy and
the Spanish caplain of the Companla
Meritima's steamer Tarlac, for such the
vesei proved to be. then proceeded to
the bridge nnd the incomprehensible mat
ter was explained.
The Tarlac was bound from Laoag, on
the west coast, to Aparri, on the north.
She had on board fifty Filipinos for t>’
the latter port seven addles
and MaJ. Whitely. who had been but ten
days in the Islands and was Joining h
regiment at Aparri. Before the Tarlac
left Lsoag MaJ. Whitely beard a story i
the effect that the fifty Filipino passen
gers contemplated mutiny and the cap
ture of the steamer before she reachet
her destination. They were, It was alleged,
to act in conjunction with men on ihe
coast, who at a designated point, were to
board the Tarlac from on armed raft and
help in the fighting. So MaJ. Whitely was
very careful and watched closely for tt>e
promised raft. When the Mindoro Was
sighted she was mistaken for the raft nnd
MaJ. Whitely told the captain of the Tar
lac to steam away. This was done. I-ater.
it occurred to the Major that it would be
a good plan to r&m the raft, sink it and

drown the enemy. The Spanish captain
declined to attempt this, giving as his rea
son that no raft could steam eight
an hour and fire shells from a six-pound *r.
and he was noi going to try to ram nn
American gunboat. This did not convince
Maj. Whitely of his mistake, who as an
American officer on -a chartered trans
port was in command of that vessel and
by virtue of his authority he made ih-
Spanish captain continue his flight from
the supposed raf* until after the eighth
shot from the Mindoro. This was ihe ex
planation of the Tarlac’s curious behavior.
\\li> lie Fired the Shots.
Ensign McCarthy explained to Maj.
W hitely that the Filipinos had no vessels
or boats In which they could venture an
attack by sea and they certainly possess
ed no six-pounder rapid-fire gun. and he
warned the Spanish captain that in fu
ture it would be safer to heave to when
ordered so to do by any craft on the high
seas. To this the captain shrugged his
shoulders and pointed to Maj. Whitely.
“And now' may I inquire w’hy three
shots were fired at us?” askfd Ensign Mc-
Carthy.
“I ordered a soldier to fire them.” an
swered Maj. Whitely, “thinking you were
this raft I have b en speaking about.”
“Very well, sir: that is sufficient,” re
plied Ensign McCarthy, and he bade them
good night, expressed his regret at hav
ing interrupted their journey and was
rowed back to the Mindoro.
While Ensign McCarthy was on hoard
the Tarlac, Cadet Welchert, second in
command of the Mindoro, had all guns
trained on th> stranger and was ready
for action should occasion demand. A few
words from Ensign McCarthy explained
the situation to the still expectant and
hopeful men on his ship and then the gun
boat steamed away to further months of
vigilant watching.
The Mindoro is of 143 tons burden. She
is 105 feet in length, and her draft is 8
feet. She is armed with one six-pounder,
two one pound revolving cannon, one
Colt’s automatic and one Gatling-gun. The
crew consists of twenty-three men, all
told.
THE CONFEDERATE HEI NION.
Two of Hr|inswlc*k’ii Charming Socie
ty tilrln to He Present.
Brunswick, Ga., May 27.—The Confeder
ate Veterans of Glynn will go to Louis
ville In fine shape, leaving Brunswick
Monday night and acting as special escort
to Miss Mary McNish Burroughs, sponsor
for the Georgia Division, United Confed
erate Veterans, and Miss Edna Gertrude
Penniman, maid of honor.
In addition to the special escort, there
will be a number of citizens who will take
occasion to visit the Kentucky city and
view the sights of the coming great re
union.
The ladies who compose the local Clem
ent A. Evans Chapter, Daughters of the
Confederacy, have been very actively en
gaged during the past few' weeks in ar
ranging to send the Glynn veterans off
in good shape and they have in addition to
their other labors, raised a sufficient fund
to pay the expenses of three of the old
veterans who were unable to stand the
expenses of the trip.
On Saturday Captain Frank A. Dunn and
several members of the Brunswick Rifle
men made a canvass of the members of
the Riflemen and from the ranks of the
Riflemen alone secured sufficient funds to
defray the railroad fare of one old vet
eran and give him besides a good sum of
ready cash to spend on the trip. The old
veteran Is Mr. Rudolph, who was an old
original member of the Brunswick Rifle
men during the war of the Confederacy,
and who is the only surviving member
that lost a limb during the war.
All the veterans are contemplating a
most delightful trip, and Miss Burroughs,
sponsor for Georgia, and Miss Penniman,
maid of honor for Georgia, have been the
recipients of many invitations to various
soJial functions to be given during the re
union. One of these is the grand ball to
which ten thousand Invitations have l)een
issued and another is the steamer trip
down the river and dance to which six
thousand have been invited.
EARLY PEACHES SHIPPED.
Fruit on the Tree* In llHiik Sold nt
Good Prices.
Americus, Ga., May 27.—The shipment of
early varieties of peaches from the big
orchards near Americus is progressing,
several hundred crates having been ex
pressed north the past w'eek.
Capt. P. C. Clegg, a large fruit grower,
has made very, satisfactory sales In New
York, Baltimore and other cities. He
sold yesterday the entire crop of one or
chard of 22,000 trees at a round price.
The yield is very large and satisfactory
prices have obtained so far. Other large
orchards here will begin shipping this
week.
Mr. S. M. Gor;ly, a thrifty trucker here,
Is making considerable money on black
berries. He cultivates the vines with
much care, and splendid berries is the
result. Yesterday lie sold $lO worth in
the local market, the cost of which was
little more than th‘ picking.
Sumter Superior Court convenes to
morrow, and -the session may continue
four or five w'eeks. Judge Littlejohn will
preside, though Judge W. B. Butt of the
Chattahoochee circuit, will sit one or two
weeks in cases wherein Judge Littlejohn
is disqualified. There is a light criminal
docket thus far, though the grand Jury
will find many new Indictments this
w'eek.
The public schools of Americus will
close June 15. There will be twelve grad
uates from Furlow High School.

ANDERSON \ IDLE EX Cl HA ION'.
Crowds XX 111 Gather There—Veteran*
Going to I,ouiv!lle.
Americus, Ga., May 26.—Thousands will
go from all points in this section to An
dersonvllle next Wednesday, Decoration
Day, at the National Cemetery there,
where 13,700 Federal soldiers are buried.
The memorial exorcises will be conducted
by army posts at Fitzgerald and Macon.
Excursion trains will be run from Ameri
cus hourly.
As usual, upon such occasions, from
5,000 to 10,000 negroes will be there, and as
some of them generally create disorder it
is said that three companies of the Fourth
Regiment, stale troops, including the
Americas Light Infantry, will be stationed
it Andersonville to keep down any trou
ble that may be started by turbulent
blacks, who picnic in the woods outside
the cemetery and frolic all day.
A large delegation of Confederate vete
rans will go from Americus to Louisville
this week to attend the reunion. Miss
Bertha Morgan, of this city, is sponsor for
the veterans of the Third congressional
district.
The county primary in Sumter takes
place one week from next Wednesday,
Jun 6, twenty-three candidates being in
the race for the several offices. The regis
tration books show 1,600 white voters reg
istered. and the contest is going to be very
spirited.
The wheat crop in Sumter is now being
harvested and is the largest iri thirty
years. The yield in the county will be be
tween 5,000 and 7,00!) bushels, whereas the
average yield heretofore has been about
300 bushels only.
The cotton crop here is doing fairly well.
The average is about the same as last
year. Farmers experience great difficulty
in getting labor, as hundreds of negroes
have gone from this section to the turpen
tine aryl lumber regions in South Georgia
and Florida.
THE NEWS AT TIFTON.
In ion Sunday School Picnic—Annual
Outing of n Fishing Club.
Tifton, Ga., May 27.—Tifton’s Union

at White Springs, Fla., yesterday. A spe
cial train of four cars was chartered from
the Georgia Southern and Florida, and
the schools went down 300 strong, spend

yond some disappointment at the wretched
condition of the grounds, and the total
lack of accommodation for a crowd of that
size, the day was highly enjoyed. The
special train returned about 9 o’clock.
Tifton is shipping peaches every day,
about fifty crates forward yester
day. Having the first peaches from the
state is amply sustaining Tifton’s past
reputation. Returns net, $5 to $6 per

The June Woman’s Home Companion
contains a number of good stories, with
serials by Mrs. Burton Harrisun and

“Everybody's” Magazine for June Is full
of that sort of literature that is easy to
read and hard to forget. The skilful ad
mixture of information 1 with interest,
which is characteristic of the articles in
this magazine is shown at its best.
The “Simple Explanation” of the month
is entitled “Electricity and Some Other
Puzzles.” The author disclaims at the out
set any intention of "explaining” what
electricity is. for he says no explanation
has yet been given. But he talks breezily
along about the latest theories in regard
to It and when the reader finishes he will
have a very good idea of what it is
thought to be, as wo 1 as a pretty clear
understanding of the hypotheses that con
cern light, heat, gravitation and the atomic
and molecular construction of matter. The
North American Company, 74 East Ninth
6treet, New York.
The Review of Reviews for
June has some notable features. Among
them .are a character sketch of President
James J. Hill of the Great Northern Rail
road, by Mrs. Mary H. Severance; an ar
ticle on “Paris and the Exposition of
1900” by Albert Shaw; a forecast of the
work of the Tenement-House Commis
sion recently appointed by Gov. Roosevelt,
by Jacob A. Rlis; a description of summer
camps for boys, by Louis Rculilion; "Au
tomobiles for the Average Man,” by Cleve
land Moffett; and “The Passion Play at
Obermmcrgau, liAJO.” The Review of Re
views, No. 12 Astor Place, New York.
Ex-President Grover Cleveland opens
the June Atlantic with the first of his
recent Princeton addresses on "The In
dependence of the Executive,” which have
been so eagerly awaited by the public.
The present paper traces the history of
the relations between the President and
Congress, ur.d prepares the way for the
discussion in July of his own controversy
with Congress in 1886. from which, as is
well known, he emerged triumphant.
Prof. Ephraim Emerton laments the dis
appearance of the old-time combination
of "Gentleman and Scholar.” and hopes
for the recovery of the indefinable some
thing which seems to him perceptibly
missing in modem scholarship. C. A.
Conant in "Recent Economic Tendencies”
gives a thoughtful analysis of ihe changes
now arising and likely to arise hereafter
from the recent alterations in the rela
tions of labor and capital, and discusses
the future of combinations, either state,
industrial, or by capital. Edwin Burritt
Smith contributes a clear and animated
account of “The Municipal Voters'
League of Chicago,” showing by what
simple means, if Inspired by public spirit,
a great city can be redeemed from the
grasp of the boodle element, no matter
how firmly fixed. The Atlantic Monthly,
No. 11 East Seventeenth street, New

The Cosmopolitan for June is a partic
ularly interesting number. The leading
article Is by Charles Theodore Murray,
and is entitled “On the Road With the
Big Show.” It is handsomely Illustrat
ed, and is a graphic description of a big
circus. "The Great Boer Trek,” by Ste
phen Crane, is a timely article and con
tains just the kind of information that
is desired at this time. Frank R. Stock

“The Conscious Amanda," that Is well
wor*h reading. Mr. Stockton’s stories,
however, are always attractive features
in the magazines in which they appear.

the pure juice of hand picked apples from
his own mill on the premises. It is abso
lutely pure apple juice, and all the effer
vescence Is natural, and we guarantee i
to be the choicest cider in the world.
Leading physicians in New York and
Brooklyn recommend this cider to their
patients, its perfect purity is guaranteed.
In Paulding's Pippin cider, only Long Is
land Newton’s Pippins aie bsod. The ap
ples are left on the trees until late in Oc
tober when they are hand picked and
placed In a dry room to ripen.
Paulding says "the apples are thorough
ly crushed in his own mill and the juice
pressed out and run into sweet clean
casks." The difference between crushing
and grinding apples is very great.
You will know the difference between
crushed app es and ground if you
take some stems and chew them, you will
find that bitter taste which is not with
Paulding’s crushed apples. This cider has
not the extreme sweemess of the Russet
cider, and everyone will find the Pauld
ing's Pippin cider Just right to lake with
dinner. Lippman Bros.,
