April IL—The senate committee on the Philippines began the week with the Intention of making an in vestigation of the chargee to the effect that the ‘•water cure" so-called is Prac ticed on the insurgents, and Charles 8. Riley, of Northampton. Mass., formerly • sergeant In company M. Twenty-sixth volunteer infantry was the first witness called with that intention in view. Mr. Riley said that he had been In the Philippines from October 25. to March 4. 1»1 In reply to guestions by Senator Rawlins, he said he had witnessed the **water cure'* at I<boraa. in the province of Iloilo, on November IT. 1960. It was ad ministered to the presidents or chief Fili pino official of the town. He said that upon the arrival of his command at Igboras. the presidents was asked whether runners had been sent out notifying the insurgents of their presence’ and that upon his refusal to give the in formation. he was taken to the convent where the witness was stationed and water cure was administered to him. This official was. *he said, a man about 40 years old. When the witness first saw him he was standing in the corridor of the convent, stripped to the waist and his hands tied , behind him with Captain Glenn and Lieu tenant Conger of th* regular army and Dr. Lyons, a contract surgeon standing Bear, while many soldiers stood about. The man. he said, was then thrown un der a water tank, which held about NO gallons of water, and his mouth placed directly under the faucet and held open ao as to compel him to swallow the water which was allowed to escape from the tank. ~ ./ \• . Over him stood an interpreter repeating one word, which the witness said he did not understand, but which he believed to be the native equivalent to •Confess.’* When at last the presidents agreed to tell what he knew he was released and allowed to start away. He was not. how ever. permitted to escape, and upon re fusing to give further inforamtion he was again taken as he was about to mount his horse and the cure administered for the second time. This time the man was not stripped, nor was he taken into the build ing. Dr. Lyons sgid the water could be brought to the spot and given there, and when it was brought in a five-gallon can. one end of a syringe was placed In it and the other in the man's mouth. As he still refused, a second syringe was brought out and one end of It placed in the prostrate man's nose. He still refused, and a handful of salt was thrown tn the water. This had the desired effect, and the president® agreed to answer questions. I On cross-examination by Republican senators the witness said the "cure" had been first resorted to to compel the presi derte to reveal his oars attitude, and that it' had been learned fromUiia confession that, while he had professed to be friend ly o the United States, he was in reality a captain of the insurgent forces, and that nls police were all soldiers. As a con sequence of this exposure he was arrest ed and the town burned. He said that the victim struggled fiercely while the •’cure * was being administered, and that his eyes were bloodshot, but thit the next gay when he saw the man he observed no ill effects of the dose he had received. Mr. Burrow, referring ta the surgeon in Charge, asked: "Did any one shoot him?” The witness replied in the negative. Mr Riley also said he had known of many cruelties and indignities practiced upon American soldiery by natives. Another witness. William Smith, of Athol. Mass., who was a private in com pany M. Twenty-seventh volunteer infan try. corroborated Riley's testimony, say ing be bad also witnessed the torture of two policemen of the town of Igboras. Smith said the details of the 'cure” were in the hands of a captain of the Eigh teenth infantry, known as the "water cure" detail. He also said that he had assisted In the burning of the town of Ig boras and that the natives generally es caped from their houses only with the clothes they work. Mr. Smith expressed the opinion that Igboras had a population of 10.000. So far as he knew no lives were lost. The wit ness said that the country places in the vicinity also were burned. All these acts were done under the command of Captain Glenn, who tras. he said, judge advocate of the department of the VlsCayas. He said the water-cure kept running for four or five minutes and that the doctor in charge frequently placed his hand upon the man's hgart as if to observe its effect upoft that organ. .

NEW LIGHT THROWN ON CAPTURE OFJ3URR - INTERESTING FACTS CONTAINED IN PAPERS JUST DISCOVERED AND PLACED IN ARCHIVES OF MISSISSIPPI. JACKSON, Miss.. April 14.—The director of the department of archives and history of Mississippi, Mr. Dunbar Rowland, has come into the possession of some most valuable papers relative to the capture of Aaron Burr, which throw new light upon that stirring epoch of Mississippi s history and the thrilling times which existed then in this vast western territory, and how excited the people were when it was learn ed that Burr was coming down the Mis sissippi river, with armed associates, to establish a government in the west. The first step that was taken by the Mis sissippi territory to flustrate the plan of Burr in hfis empire building was a proc lamation Issued by Cowles Meads, then acting governor of the territory of Mis sissippi in the absence of Governor Will iams, who was visiting out of the section, bearing the date of October 8, 1806, warn ing the people of the approach of Burr and of his base designs against the safe ty and peace of the country. The proclamation is original in many re spects. It does not mention Burr’s name, but says, "Whereas, information from various sources has been communicated to me of the designs of an association whose object is the dlsmerpberment of this and neighboring countries from the gov ernment of the United States.” He warns all citizens to be on the alert and prove their patriotism by giving such assistance to the capture of these "traitors” as they can. and he further, to make sure that none of the officers joined this band, or dered that all officers who had not taken the path required of them by the statutes of the country, come forward and take the same in 15 days, or in default their com mission would be revoked and they dis missed from service. Though much excitement prevailed and many rumors were afloat, nothing official further was done toward the capture of Burr until general orders were Issued by the commander of the Mississippi territo rial forces for a more complete and per fect organization of the militia of the ter ritory, which order bears thg, date of De cember 25, 1806. The first regiment was ordered to be mustered in January 20,'at Natchez, the second. January 10th; at Greeriville; the fourth, January 12th at Port Gibson, and the fifth January 17th at Piercy’s plantation. On January 10th an express from Washington City with dispatches arrived, and on Monday following sixty men were put on guard on the high bluff at Natchez to watch the rivep, with orders to stop and examine every boat that should try to pass. On January 12th Meads addressed the legislative assembly, which was then in session, saying that “the cloud which has so long been anticipated by the assembly has now assumed a definite aspect of de fiance and slowly proceeds upon us. These signs bid us convert the pen of the legis lature into the weapdn of war. and sus pend the elegance of debate for the clang |or of military arrangement.” And in his proclamation he adjourned the-assembly that the members might take up the weapons of war. On Tuesday word was received that Aaron Burr had arrived at Bayou Pierre, north of Natchez, with a force estimated from 40 to 300 men. On that day a detachment of 275 men were collected on the bank of the river, and on the day following at sunrise, the detachment embarked in charge of Fer nand L. Claborn, up the waters of Cul 11ms creek for Bayou Pjerre to capture Burr. The detachment'was met by Major Shields and Captain Poindexter, who were then sent in haste to Colonel Burr’s en campment to announce to him the move ments of the troops and to invite his sur render. Bufr signed an armistice and the next day met the governor at the home of Mr. Calvlts, and afterwards surrendered himself as a prisoner. A company of troops were sent up the creek and de stroyed his stores and other munitions of war. Burr was then indicted by the grand jury for treason and gave bond for trial, but broke his <bond soon after he was given his liberty. He was, however, re captured in Louisiana. The papers relative to his capture in Mississippi are interesting and throw new light upon the subject. GOV.

IIIHQUE PUN TO TELL O F ■ GOODS PANORAMA OF ATLANTA IN DUSTRIES WILL BE MADE A FEATURE OF THE FAIR OF AT LANTA MANUFACTURERS. One of the most striking features of the coming industrial fair will be a Panorama of Atlanta’s Industries. This is a brand new idea, and will likely attract a great deal of attention, not only locally and through the state, but through the whole south. The idea, in brief, is to hkve a number of photographs taken of the interiors and exteriors of Atlanta’s manufacturing plants, showing in detail the workings of these immense enterprises; and then to project the photographs upon an immense canvas by means of a stereopticon. As each picture is shown, a brief explanation will be made to the spectators. There are hundreds of manufacturing concerns within the corporate limits of Atlanta, or within a radius of a very few miles,- about which the average citizen knows little or nothing. It will be the object of this panorama to familiarize At lanta with Atlanta’s manufactories, and to demonstrate to the vlaitor to what ex tent Atlanta production has increased. The interior of cotton mills, candy fac tories, hosiery mills, pants factories and scores of other concerns will be shown up on the big screen. Resting hours as well as working hours will be shown, and es pecially that later phase of the modern factory life, wherein the employer consid ers the comfort and convenience of his hands. Immense machines will be pictur ed at work; great rooms full of machinery; hundreds of men and women bending to their daily tas'ks. Processes will be ex hibited. showing the conversion of raw material into finished products. Altogether the exhibition, which has been planned by Secretary Walter G. Cooper, promises to be one of the most Interesting features of the big fair. STRANDED WHALE IS REPORTED NEAR PENSACOLA PENSACOLA. Fla..

Its struggles were powerful, and Captain Marlow said as it threw its around the sand and water were forced, away up in the air. The captain thinks that it had been on the beach for a day or so, as it had “cradled” itself in the sand by its struggles.

You Can ba Cursi at Home—Cesaruia Offer of Prof. Adkin. l * PROJT THOMAS F. ADKZN. “I consider it a crims to experiment with ths health of the people,” says Profeqsor Thomas F. Adkin. president of the Institute of Physi cians and Surgeons. “If I did not, know posi tively and absolutely that my new home treat ment will cure every known disease, even when all other methods of treatment fall, I would consider I was committing a crime to make such a statement to the public. Nothing is so precious to a man as his health —nothing so hor rible as an untimely grave. Little ills, if not promptly cured, often result in obstinate chron ic diseases. I believe that my new discovery, •Vitaopathy,’ is the most marvelous treatment ■ ever known, and I Intend to give the secrets to the world. I Intend that every man. woman and child shall know its teachings. I propose to tell the sick, absolutely free of charge, how they may be restored to perfect health. I would rather be a benefactor to the sick man than have the wealth of Croesus.” The above are remarkable words, but those who know Professor Adkin, and have tried his treatment, can vouch for their absolute truth fulness. “I was nearly dead with liver and kidney trouble,” writes Professor John C. Nelson, a well-known geologist and mining engineer, liv ing in Dayton, Tenn. "The doctors had given me up to die. You can imagine what a state of mind I was in. I could not attend to busi ness, and began to think my days were num bered. I read of the wonderful cures Professor Adkin had effected by his great diacovesy, Vitaopathy, and as a forlorn hope wrote to him just the condition I was ta. mentally and phys ically. He gave me a clear diagnosis of my case, and didn’t charge me a cent for ft. He prescribed a treatment which I began with lit tle or no faith, but I am happy to state that X am now completely cured and am a firm be liever in Vitaopathy. From my own personal experience I believe Professor Adkin can al most raise the dead.” Mrs. A. J. Selfried. Stowe Creek. 0., writes this grateful letter: "I was affected with a se vere case of Eczema and Nettle Rash, which spread over my whole body. The. itching and stinging at times was almost unendurable. I wrote Professor Adkin, and in four days after I began following the free advice he gave ma the itching began to subsltft and the erup tions dried up rapidly. In ten days I was per manently cured. I feel better now than I have for the past ten years. The free advice Pro fessor Adkin gives is a blesesing to those who cannot afford to pay big doctors’ bills. Professor Adkin says: “I sympathize with the sick. I want to make every chronic invalid well. I want to prove what my treatment will do. I want every sick person ta this coun try to write me personally. Tell me the lead ing symptoms of your disease, and I will at once make a thorough diagnosis of your case and outline a method of treatment which will positively curs you. This will cost you abso lutely nothing. I will also send you a copy at my new booa on ’How to Get Well and Keep Well,’ postage prepaid. You are not out a sin gle cent. Write me in confidence fully and freely about yourself. Address PROF. THOS. F. ADKIN, Office 191 Z, Rocheseter, N. Y. ton as a soldier. He said that be was tha most brilliant of that bright array ot flashing sabers that leaped forth In de fense of the south. < Colonel Albert Cox paid a high tribute, to the distinguished dead. He spoke of the beginning of the war and the fact that Hampton had been the bright inspiration of his youth. He said that if his own state had not needed his services he would have joined Hampton’s legion. Hampton, be said was tfcie greatest of generals, dashing and valiant in war; he was the brightest lumi nary that shone in the dark days of re construction. "They captured our colors,” he said, "but there are etherial flags! The flags that Hampton planted on the heights of heroic history will forever float unfurled and undefiled.” General Walker, commander of the South Carolina division of United Confed erate Veterans, was the last speaker. He regretted his inability to be present at General Hampton’s funeral, and said he' would carry to his native stats Atlanta’s tribute.
