REBELS
INSURGENTS TO BE CONSIDERED
TRAITORS—SPIES WILL BE
§HOT WHEN CAP-
T TURED.
WASHINGTON. Jan. tl.-Havina fail
ed. after two years’ strife in subduing
the insurrection in B&tangas province,
which lies just south of Manila, and hav
ing satisfied himself that lenient treat
ment rtf the insurgents is productive of
no goodtresults. Gen. J. Franklin Bell, the
military commander in that province, has
determined on the enforcement of the war
in the most vigorous and determined fash
ion. involving reconcentration in a modi
fied form, the application of martial law
in all dfrections and the unsparing pur
suit and punishment of the natives who
act as suites and traitors to the United
States.
The reooncentration order is dated at
Batangas. December 8 last. It provides
for the establishment of * none around
the garrison into which the friendly in
habitants are to be required to come un
der penalty* of confiscation and destruc
tion of their property. This is said to be
necessary io prevent the collection of
forced contributions from the inhabitants
by the insurgents. ,
The military officers are allowed to fix
the prices of necessaries of life, and it
-Ts promised that the people may return
as soon as peaceful conditions are estab
lished.
This order is followed by a long cir
cular by General Bell Uo his station com
manders. n begins with the statement
that he shares in the general conviction
that the insurrection continues because
the greater part of the people, especially
the wealthier ones, do not really want
peace, but the greatest good to the great
est number, he says, can be best brought
about by putting a prompt end to the
insurrection.
Therefore, be directs the application of
general order No. 100, in force during an
insurgent war in the United States, which
practical.y regards an insurgent as a
guerrilla, and outside the pale of civil
ised warfare, and subject to the death
penalty wherever such insurgent does not
engage continuously in the war and ob
serve all the rules of war. It is provided
that there shall be no executions without
the approval of the superior officer. It is
pointed out that there is no jus, cause for
exceptional custom or apprehension in at
tacking insurgent bodies wherever found,
as excessive caution will do the army
Incalculable harm. The best defence
against tbe Insurgents, he says, is to as
sume a vigorous offensive, to retire in the
presence of the enemy is hazardous and
discouraging.
A special Injunction is laid on the com
. manders to bunt down through loyal spies
secret sympathisers with and contributors
to the rebellion, many of whom will be
found among municipal officers.
General Bell says that Malvar and other
insurgent leaders have dictated elections
of all town officials in Batangas and La
guna, and these town councils meet and
pass resolutions denouncing the insurrec
rection. while secretly informing the in
surgents that this is done under compul
sion and supplying them with informa
tion. Therefore General Bell declares that
neutrality should not be tolerated; every
inhabitant should be either an active
friend or be classed as an enemy, and
acts, not words, must be made the test.
Chief and most Important among the
class of disloyal persons, he says, are tbe
native priests. General Bell declares it is
practically certain that every one in Ba
tangas and Laguna provinces is a secret
enemy of the government and in active
sympathy with the insurgents. He orders
that they be given no exemption what
ever. but be brought to trial whenever
sufficient evidence is obtainable, and adds
that even in case of well founded suspic
ion they should be arrested to st Op their
further activity.
It Is frequently Impossible, he says, to
obtain evidence against influential persons
as long as they are at liberty, but once
confined evidence is easily obtainable.
General Bell declares that the apprehen
sion and punishment of one Individual of
ficial. wealthy man or priest Is of greater
Importance than the punishment of 100
Ignorant persons. The wealthy and In
fluential. he says, are those against whom
the most energetic efforts should be di
rected. ,
OUT OHIffIMES
THRILLING RESCUE OF A UTICA
WOMAN.
The Story of the Event as Told by Mrs.
Tucker —A Horrible Experience
With a Happy Ending.
How Mrs. Anna M. Tucker, of 352 Kos
suth avenue. Utica. N. Y., was saved from
a horrible fate when death’s jaws were
almost closing upon her is told in the fol
lowing statement made by her to a re
porter.
"It was soon after the birth ol my little
boy." she said. "Three different doctors
had done their best for me. but they al!
failed to do me any good. My case seemed
to be a combination of nervous and stom
ach troubles. I had fainting spells, my
food did not digest and caused me great
distress. My head felt very oddly and at
times I was delirious. 1 lost in weight
from 130 to 9R pounds, I had no color, my
feet and hands were cold and my limbs
had a prickly sensation as though asleep.
I was not refreshed by sleep although I
slept heavily.
"I learned of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
from a published case similar to mine that
had been cured by tbe pills. I took three or
four boxes before I was certain that I
was being benefited, but continued their
use until I was entirely cured.
"I am glad to recommend Dr. Williams'
f Pink Pills for Pale People for they are
the medicine that saved my life. I do not
believe that ordinary medicine could have
cured me."
Although Mrs. Tucker's was a severe
case. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured her.
Lesser troubles yield even more readily
to the potent action of this marvelous
medicine. Not only will these pills cure
cases similar to Mrs. Tucker's, but they
have been proven to be an unfailing spe
cific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia,
partial paralysis. St. Vitus* dance, sciati
ca. neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous head
ache. after-effects of grip, of fevers and
of other acute diseases, palpitation of the
heart, pale and sallow complexions and
all forms of weakness either in male or
female. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale
People are sold by all dealers, or will
be sent postpaid on receipt of price, fifty
cents a box. or six boxes for two dollars
■nd a half (they are never sold in hulk
or by the hundred! by addressing Dr. Wil
liams Medicine Co.. Schenectady. N. Y.
They act directly on the blood and nerves.
Avoid imitations; substitutes never cured
anybody.

WAS THE LEE
SOM
BANQUET AND EXERCISES AT
THE GRAND WERE LARGELY
ATTENDED—GOV. MONTA-
GUE GOES HOME.
A notable day was Monday in the his
tory of the Virginia society under whose
auspices the natal day of the illustrious
patriot. General Robert E. Lee, was cele
brated. It has been the custom of the
society since its organisation to have as
its guests on the occasion of the anni
versary men who are distinguished sons
of the Old Dominion, and Monday was
no exception to the rule. The grand old
state, noted for its silver tongued ora
tors, sent to the celebration Monday the
chief magistrate of the commonwealth.
Governor Andrew Jackson Montague,
whose eloquence gained for him a fame
that is in no sense confined to borders of
Virginia. His address at the Grand that
night was as masterful as it was eloquent
and was listened to with the closest at
tention by an enthusiastic audience.
The stage was artistically draped with
flags of Virginia and the Stars and Bars,
while grouped around the speaker were:
President Mitchell, of the Virginia socie
ty; Congressman P. J. Otey, Lieutenant
Governor J. E. Willlard, of Virginia; Gov
ernor Candler. Mayor Mims and Captain
Charles S. Arnall.
The address was a brilliant effort and
the speaker paid glowing tributes to the
memories of the illustrious sons of Vir
ginia from George Washington to Robert
E. Lee, and he ventured the prophesy that
in the years to come the parents of the
north would hold up for the emulation of
their children the glorious character and
manhood of General Lee as the greatest
America had ever produced.
That night the distinguished Virginians
were entertained with a banquet at the
Kimball and in the history of the many
famous dinners that have been given in
that hoetelyy none will go on record as
being productive of greater enjoyment.
The first toast which was drunk stand
ing and in silence was: “To the Memory
of Robert E. Lee, the Patriot, the Superb
Soldier, the Matchless Hero, a True Chris
tian Gentleman, God’s Noblest Work.”
To the toast: “Our Guests; Our Gov
ernor.” Archibald H. Davis, a classmate
of Governor Montague at the University
of Virginia, made a happy and witty re
sponse.' Thia was followed by a toast
which was drunk to the health of the
“Young Hickory of Virginia.”
The Rt. Rev. B. J. Keiley, bishop of
Georgia, responded to the toast: “Vir
ginia.” and as that commonwealth was
the place of his birth, he was well quali
fied for the subject. Governor Candler
responded to "Georgia,” and it Is need
less to add that the reputation of the
state did not suffer at his hands. Mayor
Mims was unavoidably absent and in his
stead the Hon. Clark Howell paid tribute
to “Atlanta.” Charles A. Read showered
his eloquence on “Our Wives and Sweet
hearts." and Hamilton Douglas took care
that “Virginia” should be kept in the
van if a profusion of eloquence and wit
could hold the place. Tbe concluding
toast was "The Press,” which was ably
responded to by F. H. Richardson.
GOVERNOR CANDLER
ACCEPTS INVITATION
CHARLOTTE. N. C., Jan. 20.—Governor
Candler, of Georgia, has accepted an in
vitation to attend the Salem Female acad
emy centennial celebration in May next
at Winston-Salem. N. C. He writes the
committee that only official duties will
prevent him from being present. Presi
dent Roosevelt, whom a committee of la
dies went to Washington last week to
Invite to attend this celebration, did not
hold out much encouragement that he
could be present, but the ladies are hope
ful that the chief executive may find his
way to be present. The citizens of that
town have had the pleasure of entertain
ing only one president of the United
States heretofore, George Washington,
and they are especially anxious for Mr.
Roosevelt to attend the centennial. Min
ister Wu Ting-fang promised to attend if
possiu.e and Secretaries Long and Wilson
and Attorney General Knox and Captain
Hobson have accepted invitations.
PRITCHAM MAYBE
OPPOSED BY AYCOCK
FRIENDS OF NORTH CAROLINA’S
GOVERNOR TALKING OF RUN-
NING HIM FOR U. S. SENATE.
CHARLOTTE. N. C.. Jan. 20.-The latest
report in political circles in regard to the
coming fight for the United States sena
torship. which position will In all proba
bility be tilled by a Democratic legisla
ture and one which is interesting to say
the least is contained in a story which
comes from Eastern' North Carolina to
the effect that an effort will be made to
put Gov. C. B. Aycock in the seat now
occupied bv Senator Pritchard, Republi
can
The most serious obstacle which the
friends of the governor would have to
overcome in this movement is the unwrit
ten law ibat one senator shall come from
the eastern part of the state, and another
from the west. As Senator Simmons,
elected as a Democrat last year, is from
the east and the governor is a native of
the same section, there will be much work
ahead of those who would have state sec
tionalism overlooked. There is said to
be no doubt that the movement has been
planned by his friends, but it is not as
serted that the governor himself knows
anything of the plan. Pro-ably he does
not at this stage.
THE SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1902,
KNOWLES SAYS
CHARGESARE
NOT TRUE
REPLIES IN HIS PAPER TO STATE-
MENTS MADE BY HON. SEA-
BORN WRIGHT IN THE
TIMES.
There is no cessation of heated words
in the Floyd county dispensary tight. The
charges of Friday, made by Hon. Sea
boarn Wright, editor of The rimes, of
Rome, were answered on yesterday by
Hon. W. A. Knowles, euitor of The Rome
Tribune.
Mr. Wright charged that Mr. Knowles
had received SSOO from the whisky dealers
for his work against the dispensary and
would get more as the fight against the
dispensary movement progressed.
The effect of such a statement in Rome,
where both of the editors are well known
and popular, may easily be imagined. It
was expected that Mr. Knowles would
say something in his own defense and tnis
he did in The Rome Tribune of Sunday.
In a leading editorial, headed: “We Pay
No County Tax,” Mr. Knowles says, in
•art:
This is the commercial shibboleth of
those who would reform under the dis
pensary system.
What a thought! Prostituting commu
nities by encouraging the wholesale use of
whisky, under the sordid pretense of sav
ing dollars to /he tax payers. What great
er right has the state or county to go In
to the traffic of wh.sky than the sale of
drugs? If one is legitimate, why not the
other? If both why not the state go into
all the marts of trade, and allow the citi
zens the cheap prlvalege of descending
deeper into the depths of drawing water
and hewing wood for centralization?
The dispensary scheme is fraught with
disaster and honey-combed with corrup
tion. Its operation - breeds nothing but
discontent and antagonism among the cit
izens; vulgar combinations among selfish,
designing politicians, who are willing for
any disorder, in order that they may suc
ceed; and debauchery to individuals who
soak themselves in quarts, whereas drinks
would suffice under the existing rule.
No wonder that Bishop Candler, Rev.
Sam Jones, the Woman’s C.irlstian Tem
perance Union, the governor of the state,
the religious press and the majority of
organized Christianity opposes the dispen
sary as a compromise with vice. It is
safe to say, that it is the most treacher
ous enemy to the cause of morals and
prohibition that has ever been evolved in
the cunning brain of the designing poli
tician.
In the same issue is printed the follow
ing affidavit signed by fourteen citizens
regarding charges made by Mr. Wright:
State of Georgia, County of Floyd.—
Personally comes before the undersigned,
a notary public in and for said
county, the parties signing their names
hereto, each of whom being'duly sworn
says that neither “W. A. Knowles, edi
tor,” or W. A. Knowles, has been paid
SSOO, or any other sum by the liquor asso
ciations as stated in The Southern Times
of January 17. 1902. Nor is it true that
W. A. Knowles, editor, or W. A. Knowles
has been placed by the liquor dealers, or
any one else, at the head in control of
their campaign.
Affiants further on oath say that W. A.
Knowles has never attended a meeting of
the opponents to the Floyd county dis
pensary bill; and that not one dollar of
money has been received in Floyd county
for the purpose of opposing the Seaborn
Wright or dispensary bill.

fiUILTYOFMUTINY,
SON OF WISER
IS CONFINED
NEW YORK, Jan. 20.—According to the
Berlin correspondent of The Journal and
American, the crown prince of Germany
is not enjoying students’ life in Bonn at
all.
He dislikes the restrictions and com
mands of the corps and the usages and
ritual of the students’ society to which
he belongs. He considers those usages
stupid, and once he grew so vexed over
some commands of the corps that he
walked out of the club drinking room.
As a result, the leading official of the
organization came to Berlin and made
complaint to the emperor, who decided
that the crown prince should receive the
same treatment as all the others.
Then the corps sentenced the emperor's
son to two wteks’ confinement in his
room, and this it is learned, he suffered
before he came to Berlin last Thursday.
OIL KING LUCAS GOES
PROSPECTING IN GEORGIA
MACON. Jan. 20.—Mr. A. F. Lucas, the
oil king of Texas, dined with some of his
wife’s friends here last evening, and then
left on a tour of inspection in the state.
He has consented to look at some min
eral properties in various parts of the
state, and give his'advice about the pos
sibilities. In speaking of the visit, he
said:
“I have nothing to promise Georgia, be
cause I know nothing yet. but it would
give me the greatest pleasure to be able
to point out to your ppople the means of
acquiring at least half of the wealth that
has come to Texas through her oil wells.”
Mr. Lucas married Miss Fitzgerald, of
Macon. Therefore. Macon has felt a keen
Interest in the story of his wonderful suc
cess since he discovered the first oil well
at Beaumont a year ago. He says he has
never organized any speculating stock
companies, and does not intend to do so.
He simply works with nature, and makes
his money by hard work. He is a mining
engineer and economic geologist. He
seems to think that Louisiana’s rock salt
deposits are almost as valuable as are the
oil wells of Texas.
BURGLARS STEAL TRUNK
CONTAINING $4,000 CASH
VICTORIA. Colo.. Jan. 20.—Burglars en
tered the residence of William Gill and
made away with $4,000 in currency and a
certificate for $1,250.
The money was in a trunk, and was in
tended to be used in paying off the men
employed by Gill, who is a contractor at
the Independence mine.
There is no clew to the miscreants.

HIMSELF FOR
RE-ELECTION
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—Congressman
W. H. Fleming has announced his candi
dacy for the 58th congress from the Tenth
district of Georgia. In his announcement
he takes occasion to reply in a warm vein
to the statements of Hon. T. W. Hard
wick, who announced as a candidate
against Mr. Fleming last week.
He pays particular attention to Mr.
Hardwick’s platform, wherein that candi
date declares his intention, if elected, to
have the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments to the United States constitution
repealed, a proposition which Mr. Flem
ing characterizes as absurd.
“It is true Mr. Hardwick speaks with
much confidence of his ability to work
this political miracle,” he says, “but we
must remember that there are two kinds
of confidences. One kind springs from
knowledge, the other from a lack of
knowledge.
“Now we see him running from a bat
tle field chosen by himself.” is another ex
pression the congressman hands out to
his opponent. His announcement is filled
tfith interesting comparisons. It is in part
as follows. After declaring himself a can
didate subject to the white primary, he
says:
It is a matter of some gratification to
me that after a service of nearly five
years In congress, during which time I
have taken an active part in the discus
sion of most of the public questions that
have arisen, my opponent, Hon. T. W.
Hardwick, so far as appears from his
"address” has found no political fault in
me. and has raised no issue on my record,
which has been open to. all my constitu
ents. ..M. ,
In the course of his address, he de
clares himself openly on various and sun
dry matters, but he observes a strange si
lence on one of the most Important, name
ly, the money question. Upon that he
seems to have no opinions that he is will
ing to avow.
The substance ot.Mr. Hardwick's ad
dress, when boiled -down to a practical
working basis, is, that he asks yot? to
withdraw your support from me and give
it to him on two grounds; first, rotation
in office, and second, his promise to un
dertake the task of repealing the four
teenth and fifteenth amendments to the
Constitution of the United States.
1. His contention that frequent rotation
of Congressmen is necessary to properly
safeguard the best interests of the people
is a crude misapplication of a half-truth/
Does anyone believe that Mr. Stephens’
twenty-four years service—sixteen before
the war and eight after—endangered the
best interests of the people? Have the in
terests of the people been injured by the
long terms of service of Blount and Crisp
and Lister and-Livingston and Maddox?
2. Mr. Hardwick says if elected he ex
pects to devote every energy of his nature
to the repeal of the fourteenth and fif
teenth amendments to the constitution,
and on that promise he asks your votes.
As the result of the civil war, three
amendments—the thirteenth, the four
teenth and the fifteenth—were engrafted
on the constitution! Briefly stated, the
thirteenth amendment prohibited slavery,
and the fifteenth amendment probit
ed the denial of the right of the
ballot to our former slaves. The four
teenth amendment was more comprehen
sive. It comprised five seperate articles,
only two of which are pertinent to this
discussion, namely, the first and second.
The first article conferred federal, as well
as state citizenship upon all persons born
or naturalized in the United States, thus
embracing the negroes, and also guar
anteed to all such citizens, liberty and
property, and the equal protection of the
laws. The seconu article provided for
reduction in congressional representation
In case of a denial of the right to vote
to any male persons over twenty-one years
of age, etc.
Now, Mr. Hardwick proposes to repeal
the fourteenth as well as the fifteenth
amendment, and thus to_take away from
the negroes not only the guaranty of the
right to vote, but of the right to even be
citizens, of the right of life, liberty and
property, and of the right to the equal
protection of the laws.
Surely there are out few men in the
tenth district who will lend themselves
to an endorsement of so absurd a propo
sition.
Many men. myself among the number,
believe that the enactment of the fifteenth
amendment was a fearful mistake, and
some believe that mistake might still be»
wisely corrected. But I have yet to meet
a man in public life who advocates the
repeal of the fourteenth amendment, while
all well-informed persons admit the prac
tical impossibility of repealing either the
fourteenth or the fifteenth amendment.
The white people of our state believe
in white supremacy. We have it now and
we will maintain it.
Nothing could be more unfortunate for
the Democratic party of Georgia and the
south, and nothing more opportune for
the Republican party, than for this wild
scheme to repeal the fourteenth and fif
teenth amendments to be tolerated by
our people. Our party frienus. north and
west, would not and could not uphold us
in so re-actionary a course. Conservative
men in our own state would leave us and
seek political affiliations under leadership
that possesses more of the wisdom of
common sense.

THEBAUD SAYS
PRISONER IS
THIEF
MANNERS IS IDENTIFIED AS THE
MAN WHO STOLE $60,000
WORTH OF DIA-
MONDS.
NEW ORLEANS. Jan. 20.-Mr. P. G.
Thebaud. of New York, today fully identi
fied T. E. Manners, the prisoner in the
jail at Gretna, as Edouard Kern. Jr., his
late valet, who robbed the Thebaud man
sion in New York of $60,000 of diamonds
and jewelry. '
The identification was prompt and com
plete.
When Mr. Thebaud and DetectiVe Kelly
reached here. Sheriff Marrero asked for a
conference with him to determine whether
or not any reward would be paid for
Kern, and yesterday was spent in nego
tiations between the sheriff and the two
New Yorkers.
Late at night, however, an appeal was
tnade direct to Governor Heard by Mr.
Thebaud, with the result that his excel
lency communicated a desire to the Jef
ferson sheriff that Mr. Thebaud and the
detective should be facilitated in their at
tempt to identify the prisoner.
Thebaud and Kelly went to Gretna early
this forenoon, but had to wait for some
time foV the sheriff to put in an appear
ance.
When he arrived the New York men
were taken to the jail.
The mom'ent Mr. Thebaud laid eyes on
Manners he said he was Kern. Manners
made no further denial of his identity.
Detective Kelly has with him the neces
sary papers to take Kern back to New
York. These will be at once laid before
Governor Heard and that official has
promised to sign the extradition at once.
Klein and West, the two men who were
arrested for stealing Manners’ trunk from
the St. Charles hotel and gave Kern away,
will, it is expected, get off with light pun
ishment. Their case Is to come up on
Thursday.
Kern will probably be taken to New
York as soon as the hearing of Klein and
West Is concluded.
Mr. Thebaud identified all the jewelry
stolen from Manners' room in the St.
Charles as belonging to him.
The New Orleans police have made an
affidavit against Kem, alias Manners, as
a material witness in the case against
Klein and West.
Governor Heard said this afternoon that
he would sign the requisition for Kem as
soon as it is presented to him.

ture of Governor Odell. Captain Titus,
of the detective bureau, says no reward
has been offered for the arrest of Kem,
although Mr. Thebaud was about to
make such an offer when most of the
stolen jewels were found here. . ,

BEFOHEJAND
NEW YORK, Jan. 20.—Daniel Sickles,
cousin of General Daniel Sickles, is dead
at his home in Brooklyn.
He had had a premonition of his ap
proaching end for several days. After
dinner Saturday evening he told his sister
that he thought he would die before
morning, but as he showed no symptoms
of illness, she did not think there was
any cause for anxiety.
Mr. Sickles lay down on the lounge,
while his sister went to the upper part of
the house. When she returned, half an
hour later, she found her brother dead.
His death was due to the exhaustion of
extreme old age.

RUMOR OF CONSOLIDATION
NEW YORK, Jan. 21.—Steamship inter
ests, especially the agents of the lines af
fected, are not Inclined to credit the re
cent reports of actual consolidation of the
freight service of the White Star and
Cunard lines, whatever arrangements J.
P. Morgan & Co. may have been able to
effect among the American, the Leyland
and the Atlantic transport lines, says The
Journal of Commerce. James Lee, agent
of the White Star line in this country,
still insists that he has absolutely no
knowledge for or against any deal or that
any negotiations are in progress.
Under the plan as alleged the financial
interests of the five lines will reach the
enormous sui.i of about $250,000,000.
The Leyland line will have 65 ships, the
International Navigation company about
28, with four building, the White Star
about 20 and the Cunard about 15.
Mr. Lee takes the position that any deal
must merely be one of agreement and not
of purchase.
Members of the firm of J. P. Morgan &
Co., when questioned, denied that the
banking house had under way a consoli
dation of trans-Atlantic steamship lines.
So far as the arrangement that is to be
in effect between the various concerns is
concerned it will apparently be merely
the application of the community of in
terest plan of operation to the steamship
business.

HEAD, ARMS AND LEGS
BURNED OFF PRISONER
WALHALLA, • S. C., Jan. 21.—Last
night about 10:30 the town calaboose was
found to be on fire and to far consumed
to be saved. A man by the name of Alfred
Ballew had been locked up yesterday for
disorderly conduct and it is supposed that
he in some way set it on fire, although
the marshal states that he examined him
closely and found no matches on his per
son.
Ballew s head, arms and legs were burn
ed off and his body presented a most hor
rible spectacle. z
It was only by the most heroic efforts
that the Lutheran church was kept from
burning.
