ALARM IN MANILA.
Residential Suburbs Are Full of
Armed Insurgents.
FACT ABOUT CAVITE INCIDENT
Natives Asse t That Au!na!do
Forcfeu v-.cn. Merritt to Lib
erate Them.
Manila, Aug. 29. —The residen
tial suburbs are full of armed in
surgents and several personal ven
dettas have been reported. The
inhabitants are greatly alarmed.
There was firing in the streets of
San Miguel last evening. The in
surgent troops yesterday attended
mass armed and patrolled the prin
cipal residential surburbs.
London, Aug. 29. —A dispatch
from Manila to a news agency dat
ed Aug. 25, via Hong Kong today
says:
The friction between the Ameri
cans and natives requires excep
tional ability to avoid total aliena
tion. I find that several high
American officials of mediocre
education are utterly unacquainted
with oriental ideas and unable to
understand the primitive races.
Most of the Americans are deficient
in patience and numerous trifling
misunderstandings intensify the
friction. I believe the Americans
intend to be harsh. The Ameri
can censor absolutely prohibits the
sending of a single word about the
Cavite incident of yesterday and
he threatens to expel any corres
pondent who mentions it. A depu
tation from the press is going to
Gen. Merritt to protest against his
action.
The affair began in a drunken
American shooting and native sen
tries tried to arrest him. In con
sequence of the melee four natives
and one American were killed and
it is now generally mis-reported as
being a deliberate inauguration of
hostilities. Gen. Merritt returned
their arms to the company' of na
tives who fired upon the Ameri
cans.
The natives assert that Aguin-
Mdo forced Gen. Merritt to liberate
them and return their weapons.
The Americans condemn Gen.
Merritt’s course.
The same correspondent cables
that the Americans are only partly
patrolling the town.
The Manila correspondent of the
Times says:
The leading commercial men
here have cabled a memorial to
Lord Salisbury urging him to use
his office tc prevent the Spaniards
from regaining supremacy in the
Philippines. The conduct of the
American troops is admirable. The
town since their occupation has
been wonderfully free from dis
turbance.
Gen. Greene has been ordered to
return to Washington. He will
sail with Gen. Merritt.
SIX GRAND ATTRACTIONS,
Whatthe Lyceum Has Done For
the Public’s Entertainment.
The people of Cartersville are to
be treated to six grand events the
coming season, for which the Car
tersville Lyceum deserves un
stinted thanks'.
There were those who doubted
if any considerable number of
tickets could be sold and the move
ment be made a success, when a
few ladies, who wanted some inter
esting and instructive lectures for
our community proposed to make
an effort to secure them and sell
season tickets at the low price of
$3.00 each, each ticket good for
two admissions for the entire series
of six lectures, making the mini
mum cost onl 25 cents per head
for admission to each lecture. Nine
ty tickets have been sold, and here
is a list of those who have taken
each a ticket, and some two and
three: Hon J. W. Akin, Miss S.
M. Akin, Mr. W. Akerman Mrs.
W. F. Baker, Mrs. Lily

The following compose the ly
ceum committee appointed in and
by the Cherokee club: Mrs. A.O.
Granger, Mrs. D. B. Freeman, Miss
S. M. Akin, Miss Marian Smith,
Judge J. W. Harris, Mr. D. B.
Freeman, Maj. C. H. Smith, Judge
John W. Akin, Mayor A. M. Puck
ett, Messrs. A. M. Willingham, G.
W. Young and Joseph Calhoun.
The committee have looked over
the long list of lecturers to make
selections and have exercised the
greatest care in so doing. So far
only three selections have been
made and the coming of these will
be highly instructive as well as en
tertaining. First, will be the cele
brated Kennon, the Siberian trav
eler,considered the best lecturer on
the American stage, who will ap
pear October 20th. He will wear
the costumes of Siberian exiles and
peasants and show their manner
and mode of living. Tickets to
his lecture everywhere sell regular
ly at SI.OO to $1.50. Think of
hearing him for only 25 cents,
which will be the cost if you buy a
season ticket.
The Lyceum has contracted with
the Boston Concert Company, a
fine musical treat. The company
has six people, each one an artist,
and has heretofore only visited
large cities.
November the 25th will be given
a great electrical lecture, augment
ed by the use of thousands of dol
lars worth of aparatus, and will
include electrical experiments
given by Tesia, and never before
shown in the south. There will
be dozens of skvographs and pro
fuse X Ray demonstrations. The
other three attractions to be select
ed will equal the above named in
interest, and the series of six
events will be varied and without
tedium or monotony. One $3 sea
tickets admits two persons to all.
Those who do not buy season tick
ets will be required to pay general
admission price to each event,
which will be 50 or 75 cents.
Surely such an opportunity has
not before been presented to Car
tersville people. The Lyceum
wishes to sell more season tickets,
which they ought to be able to do,
considering the inducements. No
one connected with the securing of
this lecture course will make one
cent out of it. It is solely for the
intertainment and intellectual bene
fit of the community.

HUMAN WRECKS REACH HOME.
Borne in Pity From the Transport
to the Hospital,
Montauk, Point. N. Y., Aug.
26. —The horrors of war were mac e
plain yesterday when. 150 sick a: and
dying soldiers were moved > n
stretchers and then in ambulances
from the transport to the deten
tion hospital at Camp Wikofi.
Word of what might be expec
ted came to the shore a little while
before the vessel left her anchorage
and a crowd gathered about the
picket lines. It was a silent throng.
Livery ambulance in the camp and
several covered wagons for the sig
nal corps were called out and
drawn up in a semi-circle about
the foot of the pier. Col. Ferwood
had only 150 beds at his disposi
tion.
The gang plank was thrown out
and a squad of soldiers, tattered
and begrimed, walked down it.
They came in pairs, supporting
between them wrecks of men un
able to stand alone, sunken-eyed,
hollow-checked and having the
ghastly pallor of death on their
faces.
Twenty of these men were helped
slowly and carefully along. Then
came the strechers bearing what at
first sight appeared dead bodies.
Some wore uniforms, which hung
from them like bags as they were
lifted from the strechers into the
ambulances. Others were naked
except for the blankets thrown
over them.
As they passed down the line
and the corner of a blanket was
accidently blown aside their ribs
stood out like the ribs of a
starved animal. Their knees
and elbows bulged, making their
limbs of hideous proportions and
their bearded faces in some cases
were like almost the look of insan
ity.
It was a sad spectacle, so much
so that women who had. joined the
throng merely tc gratify their curi
osity wept. All hands are glad to
get back. An officer of the infant
ry said ;
“If this army of invasion had all
remained in Cuba until now’ the
ships would have brought dead by
the hundreds-instead of tens.”

MAI\|Y RUSTLERS
Are Waiting for an Opportunity to
Get into Havana
Washington, ’ Aug. 26. —Key
West, Tampa and other Southern
ports arefull of ‘rustlers,” some of
them big capitalists, waiting to
rush into Havana just as soon as
they dare. Telegrams are conse
quently coming to Washington
asking for tips, but the govern
ment is secretly advised that
the insurgents in Havana pMvice
are not through with the Spaniards
yet and, Blanco is not through, with
them. Indeed, the attitude of the
captain general toward the United
States is anything but satisfactory,
and Americans are afraid to go to
Havana, even were they able to
get in The United States has
not resumed diplomatic relations
with the Cuban capital, and there
are few Americans there.
Blanco rpigns supreme, and
the officials here say fie will con
tinue to do so until our commis
sioners arrive on September 12 or

SLOW ABOUT THEIR WORK/
<
Judge Hendricks Wants Commit
tees to Bring In Rosters.
“It do 2s seem to me I have done
everything a man could to have
the confederate rosters completed,
and have Bartow r come up in good
shape in this work,but it vexes me
that some of the returns expected
from the committees do not come.
I had fixed September Ist for the
returns to be in, but while I have
gotton most of them, some of the
lists are behind: I can give a few
more days now if they will be in a
hurry, but I must have those re
turns.”
Thus spoke Judge Hendricks,
yesterday when taking about the
committees appointed to get up the
rosters of the several companies or*
ganized for the confederates in
Bartow’ county.
•‘Those reports are to go on
record and will he used in making
future history, touching the ser
vice of those who were in the army
and will prove beneficial to those
whose names appear in the record.
1 and any benefits recognitions,
rights or privileges of the
veterans will depend on these ros
ters," continued the judge. This
is an important matter, and these
: reports should be forthcoming at
1 once.
