THE EVENING GALL. Vol. X. No. 177. malolos captured. The Insurgents Burned the Town and Retreated North- Manila, Friday March 31.—The American forces have captured Malo* los, the insurgent capital. Early thin morning the baggage trains were brought up and the bridges repaired. Our troops recon* noitered the country to within a mile of Malolos. They did not find the enemy-in force, but discovered scat tered bodies of Filipino soldiers and about 2.000 natives, retreating east ward. At half past two o’clock yesterday afternoon, McArthur resumed his ad vance from half a mile beyond Gui quinato. The Nebiaska, South Da kota and Pennsylvania volunteers were on the right. They met some opposition from the enemy in the woods, but soon drove them out. Half a mile further on they bad another engagement with the enemy, in which they were again victorious. The Kansas and Montana volun teers and the Third artillery, on the left, were not ou the firing line. Out troops bivouaced for the night a mile and a half from Malolos, and under fire of the rebel sharpshooters. This morning our mtn pushed on and captured the town. Telegraphic orders were found at Guiquinato, di recting transportation over the rail road to Calumpit, six miles beyond Malolos, where the enemy will be pur sued. It is probable that resistance wil'. be met with, as the country is rough and the rivers necessitate a slow advance. Our casualties ic the fighting near Guiquintano were as follows: First Nebraska, 4 killed, 30 wouuded. Tenth Pennsylvania—One killed, 3 wounded. First South Dekota—Ten wounded. Gen. McArthur entered Malolos at 10 o’clock this morning. The natives burned the town and then evacuated. The rebels are in full retreat to the north, where Aguinaldo went two days ago Curry’s Courtmartial. Lieutenant Frank Z. Curry, Third Georgia volunteer infantry, may be tried at Fort McPherson for the kill ing of Private Leo Reid, Second ar tillery. The killing occurred on Jan. 10th, in the Pink Light saloon, River street, Savannah, only a few days prior to the departure of the Third Georgia forNuevitas. As soon as the regi ment returned to the United States, the matter of the charge against the officer was called to the attention of the officials at the department of the gulf headquarters, and yesterday morning Lieutenant Curry was sur rendered to a guard from department headquarters. He is expected to ar rive in Atlanta this morning and will be taken at once to Fort McPherson, where he will be kept under guard until his case is called by the court martial board. The order directing the courtmartial is expected to be is sued today, and although officials at department beadquarters are uncer tain as to where the trial will occur, the fact that Curry will be brought to Fort McPherson indicates that the board will be convened at that post Constitution. Robbed, the Grave- A startling inicident, of which Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject, is narrated by him as follows : “I was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk en, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite—gradually growing weaker day by day Three physicians had given me up. For tunately, a friend advised trying ‘Elec trie Bitters:’ and to my great joy and surprise, the first bffttle made a great improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man I know they saved my life, and robbed the grave of another victim.” No one should fail to try them.

TROUBLE WILL SOON END- 1 ; Not Much Concern is Felt Over the Situation in Samoa s Washinton, March 31.—Although « the government deeply regrets that force was necessary in Samoa, tbe con ! flict has not caused nearly so much i concern as might have been expected, i There is evidently an lionest confi- ■ dence felt that tbe matter will be ■ amicably adjusted, diplomatically, and while it is admitted that futher hos tilities may cause international fric tion, a feeling that the matter will end peaceably geneially obtains To prevent the likelihood of interna lional difficulties, however, instruc tions were sent Admiral Kautz, this afternoon to maintain the statu quo and exercise the greatest caution in dealing with the political aspect of the Samoan question. Consul Osborne is to send immedi ately a full report of tbe trouble. In the negotiations now pending, Gei many has setup the principle that no action should be taken at Apia, without the approval of all three of the consuls. America and Great Britain centend, however, that the German consul, by refusing to abide by the supreme court, violated the terms of the treaty, thus making it necessary for the other consuls to act without him. The government has been informed that Admiral Kautz found affairs bor dering on anarchy ; that the lives of Americans were in danger from Ma taafa’s followers and, therefore he adopted means to end those conditions. Negotiations with Great Brit ain and Germany have reached a point where the basis of a temporary adjustment may be reached. Germany has sug gested 'hat commissioners be appoint ed to arrange a new agreement, and it is now unlikely that this government and Great Britain will consent to that scheme.

Too Small for Prosecution- Yesterday afternoon some one en tered the black smith shop of James Wood and carried off a large lot of old iron and the affair being repotted to the police they at once set out to run down and arrest the guilty parties. This was soon accomplished when they learned that Clarence Lovett and Charley Lucier, two small negro boys, had forced an entrance into tbe shop and carried off considerable old iron, which they sold- They were arrested and carried to the police station, but owing to the fact that both were babies they were turned over to their mothers for pun ishment, which was satisfactory to all parlies except the young thieves who declare a leather strap soaked in salt water, is a punishment mere severe than the toils upon tbe public roads.

FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 31, 1899. Morton s New Party- It is evident fr.,m the amount of e talking he is doing, ih.it Hou S i ring Morton i.« v< rj much io mrm-rt in his efforts in behalf of a new party. In the interview with him which we pub- I lished yesterday he expressed the opin ion that the proposed new party would i be organized July 4, and that it would be a pre-eminently conservative party. Mr. Morton seems to think that the time is ripe for a new party, but it is I doubtful if any considerable number of people in any part of the country agree with him. Instead of titre being, as I he says, a "vast field for the operatii n of a new party,” it seems to us that the field is pretty well covered by tbe parties already in existence. The only hops for a new party is a new issue which will take a firm hold on tbe people. Mr. Alorton doesn’t suggest any new issue His idea seems to be J to make a platform for the proposed new party out of the declarations of tbe platform of the parties already in existence. The men who started the Populist party thought that that party would sweep the country as a fire sweeps tbe dry grass of a prairie, but they were mistaken. The Populist party is prac tically a thing of the past. It is true that it has nominated a Presidential ticket for 1900, but it will not poll many more votes than the Prohibition ticket usually does If Mr. Morton wants to lead a new party which will make its influence felt he must find a new issue which will appeal strongly to the hearts and consciences of the people Can he find such an issue? It is doubtful. About every i-sue growing out of the war with Spain will bo covered by the platforms of the Repub'iciin and Democratic parties, and it is well un derstood what the positions <4 ixisting parties are on financial mailers Mr Merton may have some issues which he is keeping in the background until the time comes for launching tbe new party, but it will not be generally be lieved he has, unless be makes them known. Just at present his talk of a new party will not excite a great deal of interest—Savannah News Jefferson's Birthday- Then. will be many notable gather- I in B s this year of Democrats to cele ; brate Jefferson’s birthday. Referring I to these the Macon Evening News : says: ; "The more gatherings of democrats 1 on Jefferson’s Day, to celebrate the i birth of tbe great founder of the Dem- i ocratic party, the better. The right | of free speech was ever a Democratic i tenet, and on April 19 everybody who i alaims to bold to Democratic priuci- • pies should be enabled to declare him- ■ self openly if such be his desire. What is wanted this year is a complete and frank understanding, so that when the Democratic convention shall meet 1 next year there will ensue no such ' division among the delegates as mark ed the convention of 1896 Just what ' the party situation is may best be de- ■ termined after everybody has spoken, ’ Those who will refuse to support the platform of the nsxt con vention, if it declares for free , silver again will not say so now ; I those who will not support it if an I anti-expansion plank is incorporated ■ should do likewise, and those who will ! stand loyally by the democracj’ even I if they subscribe to every declaration, , should assert themselves There is I ample justification for the man who votes a democratic ticket at all times and under all circumstances, for there i are some things in its creed from i which it will never depart and which ! give it eternal vitality. As Jefferson s and Hamilton were opposed, so must democracy and republicanism be ever s opposed.” J Bucklen’s Arnica Salve- ( THE BEST SALVE in the world for ) Cuts, Bruises, Sores, Ulcers, Salt Rheum Fever Sores, Tetter, Chapped Hands, Chilblains, Corns, and all Skin Eruptions, and positively cures Piles, or no pay re quired.

Canneries in Georgia- 7 During the past season a cann factory in Georgia sold canned goods in car load lots to dealers in Balti more, who, in turn, sold them to mer chants in Georgia and Alabama in • mall lots. This goes to show that there is no reason why canneries in Georgia should uot be able to compete successfully with such establishments in other states. Tbe particular can nery that sold to the Baltimore house has doubled its capacity and expects to make still larger profits another season. When peaches and fruits are scarce, vegetables can be bad in abundance in Georgia, so there is no excuse for a cannery to bo idle in this state during the canring season Colfimbtis Enquirer Sun. ♦ • ‘ Eudora,” said Mr. Cumrcx, "I have been several times annojed by the way you Bee fit to worry about my grammar.’' '-Ji’a awful,” said his i.'i. “You use commas where they don't belong and you forget all about jour periods.
