2 PATROL OF THE PHILIPPINES. little relief to thf. moxotom OV THE I N BOATS. Hut Unvijxn McCarthy* of the .Min doro, Worked Ip Unite a Little Excitement—Fired Hi* Six Pound* er nt the Tnrlne Which Returned the Fire—Then He Found Tlint the SimnlKh Steamer Wa on an Amer ican Mission. (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 Headache Biliousness, sour stomach, constipa tion and all liver Ills are cured by Hood's Pills The non-irritating cathartic.

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.

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 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.
