Guguinto, Eulacan Province, P. L,
F"L>. 20—11:30 P. M.—The United States
Philippines commission has arrived here
from Manila and has organized a pro
vincial government for this province,
which until recently was controlled by
the insurgents. The insurgent com
mander is still at large, with a band of
300 men. Nevertheless, the sentiments
of peace and - satisfaction with the
American sovereignty seem to be as
prevalent as in provinces which have
previously been organized.
Tiie party arrived here in army wag
ons and native carts and were driven to
the military headquarters. As many
fnuh'es as eou i t i p, e crowded into the
hah were present.
The president of the town welcomed
tne cornu.issioners, declaring that the
People of the province, which had been
watered with the blood of Americans
and Filipinos, earnestly hoped for the
e--.isiimeut of a peaceful government,
guaranteeing personal liberty.
. Ju-lge l’ait said he rejoiced at the fact
T:; at the people of the province of Bula
1 an no longer misunderstood the object
u l tne American government, which
was-olely to secure for the people the
iaessnigs of civil liberty and to develop
their self-governing capacity.
Paring the afternoon there was a big

vo Thousand Cariboo Die
'In One island.
Manila,Feb. 26.—Au epidemic of rin
derpest exists in the Yiscayaa islands.
The disease first appeared on Buriah’s
island and spread thence to Ticio and
Masbate, and it is now appearing on
the island of Pauay. Twenrj--five thou
sand cariboo have already died on Mas-
bate island. The natives are dependent
j upon the cariboo for agricultural opera
tions, aud the disease has minimized
rice planting aud restricied the sugar
crop, aud much suffering is likely to
ensue. Rigid quarantine measures have
beeu adopted.
A new party, called Conservative, is
being organized. Colonel Blanco, a
Macabee chief, is the leader of the move
ment. The church element is identi
fied with the Conservative party.

TOO DEEP FOR THE DIVERS
No More Bodies to Be Found In the
Kio tie Janeiro Wreck.
San Francisco, Feb. 25.—No more
bodies of victims of the Rio de Janeiro
wreck have beeu discovered, aud it is
not expected that any will rise to the
surface before next Thursday or Friday.
At the spot where the vessel is suppos
ed to lie the water is 36 fathoms deep,
which is said to be twice the depth at
which divers can work. It is thought
by expert wreckers that the bodies of
those who went down within the ship
will never be recovered.
This letter not only gives some light |
on the life of Hamilton as pa-sed before |
his coming to Atlanta, but also tells the |
story of his infatuation for the woman j
whose life he destroyed. The father j
states that he was unable to weau liis j
son from his love for the woman by auy
consideration he could offer.
The father also teils au interesting
story regarding his son’s inheriting sev
eral thousand dollars w.iich he soon
spent. No direct charge- are made, but
it is intimated that Mrs. Wilson received
the benefit of much of the sum spent.
In what way this benefit” was incurred
the father does not say. He does say,
however, that as long as Hamilton was
able to play the gentleman he held favor
in the sight of Mrs. Wilson.

with Cuba, substantially as follows:
“I. That the government of Cuba

“2. That said government shall not

the ultimate discharge of which the or
dinary revenues of the islands, after de
fraying the current expenses of govern
ment, shall be inadequate.
“3. That the government of Cuba

cise the right to intervene for the pres,
ervation of Cubau independence, the
maintenance of a government adequate

tend, the plans already devised or other
plans to be mutually agreed upon for
the sanitation of the cities of the island,
to the end that a recurrence of epidem
ics and infections diseases may be pre
vented, thereby assuring protection to
the people and commerce of Cuba, as
well as to commerce of the southern
ports of the United States and tho peo
ple residing therein.
“6. That the Isle of Pines shall be
omitted from the proposed constitution
al boundaries of Cuba, the title thereof
being left to future adjustment by

“8. That, by way of further assur
ance, the government of Cuba will em

manent treaty with the United States.”
The amendment was referred to the
committee ou military affairs.
The report was unanimous, and no
opposition is expected from the Demo
crats in the senate. It is the general
impression that the agreement today
makes an extra session of congress un
necessary.

nited In Room Iu Which He Was
Working.
Salisbury, N. O., Feb. 27—A large
quantity of oils used iu interior work
caught lire this afternoon on the second
floor of the handsome home being com
pleted for Miltou S. Brown, on Fuitou
street. Just how the lire originated, it
is impossible to say. There were two
workmen, both painters, in the room at
the time, with numerous open vessels of
oils aud paints standing about. All at
once the room became au inferno of
flame and smoke.
One of the men managed to escape
without suffering injur}', but the other,
Theodore Fraley,was frightfully burned.
With his clothes blazing, he rushed
dowu the stairs aud through to Ellis
street. He attempted to rush into a
house, but was refused entrance by the
ladies, who were alone aud afraid of
him in his condition. They threw water
over him and by getting him to roll iu
the snow succeeded iu extinguishing the
flames.
The unfortunate man was burned iu
the most horrible manner from thighs
to head. The flames ate through the
veins in many places and he lost a great
amount of blood in this way. His face
was burned to a crisp, except his eyes,
which may be saved. The attending
physicians say that the chances of his
life or death are about equal. Fraley is
a young man of 25 aud married.
The house was saved by the prompt
exertions of the workmen.

TO STOP HAZING OF CADETS
Conferees of House and Senate Reach
an Agreement.
• Washington, Feb. 26.—The conferees
of the senate and house have reached
au agreement on the hazing amendment
to the military academy appropriation.
According to the demands of the senate,
they have eliminated the provisions in
serted by the first conference at the in
stance of the Dick investigating com
mittee, and the house conferees have
agreed to accept the amendment as
originally made by the senate, with
modifications and one addition. The
provision as agreed upon is as follows:
The superintendent of the military
academy shall make such rules, to be
approved by the secretary of war, as
will effectually prevent the practice of
hazing; and any cadet found guilty of
participating in or encouraging or coun
tenancing such practice shall be summa
rily expelled from the academy, aud
shall not thereafter be reappointed to
the corps of cadets or be eligible for ap
pointment as a commissioned officer in
the army, navy or marine corps until
two years after the graduation of the
class of which he was a member.
There is more tHUtrrn in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until thelast few years was supposed to
be incurable. Eor a great many years doc
tors pronounced it a iocal disease, and pre
scribed local remedies, and by constantl-
failing to cure with local treatment, pro
nounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only con
stitutional cure on the market. It is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
