Washington, August 8.-Although the
war department officials will not admit
they have any intention of re-enforcing
farther General Merritt’s forces at Cavite,
there is reason to believe that some of the
troops now In the eastern camps who do
sire to see active service will soon find the
opportunity unless the government shall
change its present plan with respect to
the
essary even if our claimes are limited to
the terms stated in the conditions submit
ted to Spain, namely, to the military oc
cupation and government of territory on
the shores of the bay of Manila, to furnish
to General Merritt a larger force than he
has now under his command.
It is realised that 20,000 soldiers can
scarcely be expected to maintain United
States possession and protect the inhabi
tants over a territory of this extent, for it
must be remembered that the bay of Ma
nila is twenty-five miles from the entrance
at Corregidor Island to the city of Manila
and its head. It will also be necessary to
possess and protect a zone extending some
distance back of the city in order to make
sure ofthe preservation of the wateworks.
Os course a considerable force would
not be necessary if the insurgents under
Aguinaldo could be brought to realize
that their interests lie in permittingundis
puted possession of the territory by the
United States, but U would be expecting
too much of the native character to keep
before the eyes of the insurgents the rich
loot to be had in Manila without an ade
quate force to protect the place. Then
with the growing heat and dampness it is
to be expected that illness will develop
among the troops, not to the extent that
it appeared at Santiago, but sufficient to
require some of the men to bs invalided
and their places to be taken by fresh
troops from the United States.

Shortly after the federal constitution

Westmoreland county, Ya., and some ohe
asked his opinion of it.

Mr. Loe’s willing submission to Wash

through the country. Trust in Washing

constitution by Virginia, and without the
ratification by. that state, then the largest

Yacht Keep. Her Civil Name.
Because of historic associations of the
name Dorothea the government decided
an exception in Hs usual practice
of’ changing th. names of private yachts
acquired for war service, and the Dorothea,
lately purchased from the Thomas Mo-
Keah estate, will remain tho Dorothea.
In 1819 a clippership of that name was
pur&asOd by hfr. Clapler and utilized in
the-Chiria and West India trade. During
the second wqr with Groat Britain she
was IqugvOvOrdue and had been given up
as captured by the British when she sailed
into pt** wfth her vsfaaHe cargo intact.
With the proceeds of this rapture Mr.

' Too Much For Watson.
Only oncedid Watson, when a captain,
never fail to punisA a man for intoxiea
tion.' This was in the summer of 1898
at Boston, when the San Francisco
took the Massachusetts naval xnHitia on
its first practice cruise. Among the
regular crew was old Alexander Parker,
Bailmaker’s mate, who was never known
to remain sober when there was liquor
to be had. When the naval militiamen
came on board a witty beatawatn’s
mate, while no officer was near, sang
out in an authoritative tone:
“All you merr having whisky on
board lay below and ijira it in to the
Bailmaker’s mate for Safe keeping.”
Many amateur sailors took the bait,
and in a few minutes old Aleck, sit
ting down below decks in his sailroom,
was surprised to have a vast collection
of flasks passed to him. He received all
these as gifts with many thanks. He

Aaked Fcr a Shirt and Got a Wife.
During the civil war there was a cer
tain young lady in Georgetown who
found it in her power to do a great deal
for the Confederate soldiers confined
in prlftm at Washington. Young, beau
tiful, cultured, pepudar, of a wealthy
and prominent family, she waa fre
quently allowed admission to the pris
on, whither she always took her maid
with a well stocked basket of good
things for the poor boys behind tho ban.
One day as she was passing through a
.group of men in the common prison she
stopped and said to them:
“If there is anything you would like
to haye that I can bring you, won’t you
let me knew? I shall be very glad.”
One man stepped forward promptly.
Bowing most courteously, he said:
“If you will be so kind, I should like
very much to have a clean shirt.”
He was a young lieutenant from
Louisiana, one of the handsomest and
most elegant men I ever met, and when
that young lady looked up into his
brown eyes she found it in her heart to
-give him much more thana elean shirt,
for she married him as sodfa as the war
was over.—Philadelphia Times.

Death of Samuel S- Crocker.
Editob Morning Call : Will you
please insert the following in your paper:
• The friends of Samuel 8. Crocker, of
Pomona, will fcs pained to learn of hto
death. He died at the home of his daugh
ter, Mrs. B. F. Turner, ot South Norridge
wock, Maine, on July 25th.
Mr. Crocker had been an invalid for
three years, suffering from sunstroke. He
had spent a year in Norridgewock pre
vious to this summer, and his one desire
was to return to Norridgewock and die
there. His Wish was granted, for he only
lived nine days after arriving there. He
was 58 years old.
Funeral services were held at the home
of his daughter on Main street. Rev. J.
A. Jones, who had charge of the funeral,
was assisted by Rev. J. A. Bullam. The
choir of the Baptist church sang “Jesus,
Lover of My Soul,” and a solo was sung
by Mr. Webb B. Hill, of Chicago. The
members of Bates Post, G. A. R., acted as
pall bearers and followed the remains to
the cemetery.
Mr. Crocker was a veteran of the old
war, having enlisted and served with the
Massachusetts volunteers. Since he moved
here about fifteen years ago, he met many
who served on the opposite side in the
campaigns around Richmond, and as he
grew weaker he frequently referred to
these meetings with a great deal of pleas
ure, and he counted those acquaintances
who served on the opposite side among bis
wannest friends.
His wife, who constantly attended him
day and night during hia illness, and his
daughter, Mrs. B. F. Turner, of South
Norridgewock, Maine, and Chas. A.
Crocker, of Pomona, are left to mourn his
loss. , * * *

The Test of Time-
The almbic of time is an infall able test
of human wisdom. As the years go by
the truth of the wisdom or unwisdom of
human endeavors is determined.
Measured by this test, the wisdom of ffie
men of 1860 in seeking a separation es the
south from the incongruous and hostile
north is made more and more apparent.
The differences between the people of
the two sections are irreconciliableas they
are irrepressible.
Men may prate about the glorious Union
and howl themselves hoarse at the sight of
Old Glory, but it is all a sham. At heart
the two people are as wide apart as ever.
This fact has been demonstrated, by the
animus of the administration displayed in
the treatment of the south in the present
war with Spain.
Save a little sop here and there, thrown
out as a matter oi politics, no substantial
recognition was given the south, in the
military appointments, and no southern
regiment was given a chance to fight.
Every possible discrimination has been
made against the south and southern in
terests. Os the millions upon millions
expended in ttys service nine-tenths goes
to the north, and so far as national advan
tage is concerned and political prestige the
south will have no part.
This is but natural. The north is dom
inated by the republican party and the re
publican is a sectional party. There is- -
nothing broad or national about it. All
the use the northern politicians have for
south is to manipulate the negro delegates
in the national convention, and in order
to do this the administration corruptly
appoints negroes to office in the south
without the least regard for the public
service or the intesest of the people who
have to bear the expense.—Rome Tribune.
How to Look Good.
Good looks are really more than
skin deep, depending entirely on a
healthy condition of all tba vital oj
gans. If the liver is inactive, you
have a bilious look; if your stomach
is disordered, you have a diapeptic
look; if your kidneys are affected, you
have a pinebed look. Secure good
health, and you will surely have good
looks. “Electric Bitters” is a good
Alterative and Tonic. Acts directly
on the stomach, liver and kidneys,
purifies the blood, cures pimples,
blotches and boils, and gives a good
‘ complexion. Every bottle guaranteed.
