MORE NEWS FROM DANILA.
Americans And Filipinos Still Engaged
In Desperate l ighting.
A dispatch to The New York Herald
from Manila, Tuesday, says:
“The gunboat LaGuna de Hay at¬
tacked the insurgents at, Bniacan.
Three Americans were wounded.
“MneArthur’s division has crossed
the Mnrilao river and is advancing
northward.
“The insurgents attacked the Amer¬
icans last evening at Mnrilao, but were
repulsed with severe loss. Our loss
was live killed and fourteen wounded.”
General MneArthur’s division, spent
Monday night and Tuesday morning at
Meycauayan, the next station beyond
Polo. After reeonnoitering his front
he pushed along the railroad Tuesday
afternoon toward Mnlolos.
If the statement of thirty-five pris¬
oners captured is true, tho main body
of the enemy has retreated to Malolos.
But there are no more trenches to en¬
counter, although over thirty villages,
including the larger settlements of
Bulncan and Gudgninto, intervene.
At every railroad station circulars
have been posted, signed by the Fili¬
pino commander-in-chief, Antonio
I nna, ordering all spies and bearers
of news to the enemy to be shot with-
■ ut trial and instructing that all loot-
ers and ravishers be treated in the
same manner, Further, all towns
abandoned by the Filipino troops are
first to be burned.
While deploring the existence off
war, the circular maintains the unde¬
niable right of tlie Filipinos to defend
their homes, lives and lands against
“would-be dominators who would kill
them, their wives and children,” add¬
ing that this motive ought to impel all
Filipinos to sacrifice everything.
The shelling of Puranaque was not
premeditated. The turret ship Monad-
nock anchored off the town and the in¬
surgents, emboldened by the long sil¬
ence of the warships on guard duly,
opened fire on her with muskets, with
the result that one man was killed
and three were wounded. The Monad-
nock (hen destroyed half the town, in¬
cluding the clmrch.

In an interview at Hot Springs, Ark.,
Sunday, Colonel William J. Bryan
stated that no conference of political
significance has taken place there and

he came to deliver his lecture.
THE THIRD GEORGIA
BACK FROM CUBA
Regiment Arrives at Savannah and
Is Thoroughly Fumigated,
WILL GO OUT AT AUGUSTA
Colonel Berner Has the Mustering
Out Point Changed.
General Carpenter telegraphed from
Cuba to the war department Saturday
tha‘, the Third Georgia baited States
volunteers, with 46 officers, 921 men,
21 civilian employes and 15 horses,
sailed from Neuvitas for Savannah at
5 o’clock Saturday morning on the
transport Logan.
After an uneventful voyage the Lo-
g an reao hed the Savannah quarantine
station, at 12:30 o’clock Sunday, and
there it stopped so that the men might
go through with the process required
of all passengers from Cuba, namely,
fumigation.
The most interesting feature in con¬
nection with the return of the Third
Georgia, so far as has yet been learn-
ed, is that the regiment, contrary to
all expectations, will be mustered out
at Augusta, instead of Savannah, or
Griffin. This was decided upon and
will be done at the request of Colonel
Robert L. Berner, who said he would
prefer to have his regiment taken to
Augusta to remaining in Savannah.
Pour of the volunteer regiments go
to Augusta—the second South Caro¬
lina, part of which is already there,
the Third Georgia, the Fourth A ir-
ginia and the Second Illinois. Eight
others to be brought back will be mas-
tered out in Savannah.
The Work of Disinfection.
The Third Georgia regiment was
unloaded at once on the arrival of the
Logan and the w. rk of disinfecting
the men was begun. They had to re-
move their clothing, put it all into one
big pot and have the disinfecting
gases run through it. When the pro-
cess to which the officers, even the
colonel, are subjected as well as the
men-was completed, the
was hurried up to the city as rapidly ‘
as possible. -
The Georgians are in excellent con-
dition and there is no sickness among
them. The fumigation, however, is a
matter of precaution taken in all cases
ami to which all troops will have
submit.
TESTIMONY OF ROOSEVELT.
New York’s Governor Says Canned
Beef Was Unfit To Eat.
The army court of inquiry investi¬
gating the charges made by General
Miles that the beef furnished the sol¬
diers in the Cuban and Porto Rican
campaigns was unfit for use, convened
iu New York City Saturday.
Before the hearing began Major Lee
said he believed Governor Roosevelt
would.be the only witness heard.
Upon his arrival Governor Roose¬
velt shook hands with several members
of the court, and then took the stand,
after Colonel Davis had administered
the oath. The governor described the
organization of the Rough Riders at
San Antonio, Texas, aud told of the
issuance of rations.
“When was the first complaint you
heard of the rations?” asked Colonel
Davis.
“May I answer that in my own
way?” asked the governor.
“Certainly.”
“Well, it was aboard ship at Tampa,
I saw a man—think his name was Ash
—I know he came from Kentucky—•
throwing away a can of the so-called
roast beef. I asked what was the
matter, and he said he could not eat
it. I told him not to be a baby, and
that he did not volunteer for a good
time, and ought to be able to eat what
came. I thought np more of the mat¬
ter until I heard that complaints were
being made on all sides. Then I made
inquiries, and was told that the roast
beef was part of the regular ration,and
that only the volunteers were com¬
plaining.
“I spoke to Colonel Wood about it,
and said it was the regular ration. I
ate a mouthful or two myself, but I
did not like it. I could not eat it.”
SHIPLOAD OF CORPSES.
Transport Arrives From Cuba and
Porto Rico With 682 Dead Bodies.
The United States transport Crook,
Captain Wolcott, arrived at New York
Wednesday morning from Porto Rico
and Santiago with 306 passengers and
682 bodies of soldiers who died or
were killed in battle in Cuba and Por¬
to Rico.
One hundred and twenty of the bod¬
ies are from Porto Rico.
When the doctor’s boat went along
side at Quarantine the American en¬
sign floating from the top of the mast
on Fort Wadswooth was lowered to
half mast and the transport immedi¬
ately lowered hers. No salute was fired.
FELT WORKS BURN.
Five Dead Bodies Are Recovered From
The Ruins.
A Chicago dispatch says: Five bodies
were , recovered Tuesday from the
ruins of the Armour curled hair and
felt works, which were burned Mon¬
day night. The recovered bodies are:
William Rioksecker, John B. George,
Jaipos Flanagan, John Smith, uniden¬
tified man, burned beyond recogni¬
tion.
CONVENTION INDORSED.
Alabama Democrats Pass Resolution
After Strong Fight.
A special Wednesday from Washing¬
ton states that the democrats of Ala¬
bama have, through their state con¬
vention, indorsed the proposed consti¬
tutional convention and have by so do¬
ing made it a ] arty measure, This
was done, after a long and bitte, tight,
and. the margin was so narrow that,
iu the opinion of many leading politi¬
cal observers, the doubt as to the linal
result is greater than ever.
The position of the democratic
party of the state with regard to the
constitutional convention is set forth
in the following resolutions, which the
convention adopted:
^ 'pp at we favor the holding of a
cons titutional convention for the pur-
pose of so regulating the right to vote
as to perpetuate the rule of the white
man in Alabama.
2. That tho constitutional conven¬
tion siiall regulate all questions of
suffrage so as not to conflict with the
constitution of the United States and
for the best interests of the people and
taxpayers of Alabama.
3. That there shall be inserted in
such constitution a provision limiting
the rate of i»„ittou by the state, coun¬
ties and municipalities, and that such
rate of taxation shall not exceed the
rate now fixed by the present consti¬
tution, but a lower rate if practicable.
4. That the proposed new' oonstitu-
j ! Jj» tion shall eople be for submitted its aflo tion to a vote i of
e P P or re e °-
j people K T’ That of Alabama ve pIedge onr faith to the
| not to deprive any
j white conviction man of the right to vote except
j f 0 r of infamous crime.
6. That section 39 of article 4 of the
present constitution in reference to |
the removal and location of the state
capitol shall remain unchanged,
7. That the provisions and restric-
tions in the present constitution as to
corporations shall remain unchanged,
i g. That we hereby instruct all dem¬
erratic members of the constitutional
convention to carry out the above
pledges.

MEETING OF CABINET.
President and Advisers Discuss Vari ”
ety of Subjects. j
A Washington dispatch says: At
the cabinet meeting Wednesday, which
lasted until 1 o’clock, a variety of sub- ,
jects, including a number of questions ;
which have arisen during the two
weeks of the president’s absence in
the south, were discussed.
The question of raising an addi-
t.ional force of troops to go to the
Philippines was not mentioned at the j
meeting, and it is not thought that the
president has any such purpose in
view at this time.
The administration of affairs in Cuba
came up and it was practically decided
to simplify matters by consolidating
some of the administrative depart¬
ments, but just what changes will be
made is yet undetermined.
DEWEY MAKES REQUEST.
Admiral Wants More Ships and More
flen For Patrol Duty.
The department heard from Admiral
Dewey Wednesday in explanation of a
dispatch received from him Tuesday
asking for more ships and more men.
He reiterates his request for more
ships and says by more men he means
more sailors.
At the department it was said that
it would be very necessary to patrol
the island more completely to prevent
arms from reaching the insurgents.
General Corbin said that the force
of men on the inland, he thought,
would be sufficient to put down the
rebellion provided all surreptitious
aid,could be kept from them.
MRS. noORE^DISCHARaED.
“Badgering” Case Ends But the Lar¬
ceny Charge Still Stands.
A New York dispatch says: Mrs.
Fnyne Strahan Moore was discharged
Monday upon her own recognizance
by Justice Fursraan in the supreme
court under the charge of “badgering”
Martin Mahon.
She was, however, held in $1,000
hail on the charge of stealing silver¬
ware from the Waldorf-Astoria hotel.
She said she would furnish the bond.
Mahon, the complaining witness in
the badger case, bus remained out of
the city, and the prosecution has been
min*b!e to secure his attendance at the
proceedings.

Information was received in Chatta¬
nooga Saturday night that the pendiug
deal to consolidate the cast iron pipe
works of the country, which includes
the American Pipe Company’s plants,
among which is the Chattanooga foun¬

is stated, gets $850,000 out of the
transaction.
GERMANS PROTEST
AGAINST ALLIANCE
Quondam Subjects of the Kaiser
lVieot M in T bmcago. rn • ,
DECLARATIONS ADOPTED.
Assembly Was Made Up of Ger-
man-American Citizens.
A Chicago special says: The Audi-
torium was filled Monday evening with
German-Americans called together to
protest against an Anglo-American
alliance and the alleged false asser-
tions made against Germany in con¬
nection with the recent Spanish-
American war.
Ex-Congressman William Yoike pre¬
sided and delivered the opening
address. The meetiug was a very en¬
thusiastic one and the following dec
laration was unanimously adopted:
“With profonndest indignation we
have noticed the persistent efforts of
English-American newspapers not on¬
ly to incite among our people vicious
prejudices against Germany and to de¬
fame the character of the Gernian-
Americans, but also to drag the United
States into an alliance with England,
“As loyal citizens of this republic,
it is our right, as well as our duty, to
resist these wicked practices with all
due firmness,
“The immigrants from Germany
have brought with them to this land
achievements of a civilization as high
as it is old. Upon every field of the
intellectual life of our nation, as well
as in commerce, industry and agricul¬
ture, their efforts have redounded to
the weal of our people and in peace as
well as iu war they have at all times
faithfully fulfilled their duty. No
part of the American people has done
more for the cultivation of music, so¬
ciability, the arts, the sciences, the
churches and the schools, than the
Germans. As good citizens of this
country we cheerfully hand over the
achievements of German culture to
onr youfchful American people still in
„ state of deve i opment .
“We emphatically object, therefore,
to the attempt to stamp our people as
Anglo-Saxons and to make it subsei-
v j ent to English guile. Not England,
but the whole of Europe, is the mother
coun f r y 0 f the white inhabitants of the
United States.
“We demand that not only friendly
relations be maintained with Germany,
that has been a faithful friend of our
le for more than 120 years, but
that peace and harmony be cultivated
with all nations, and we will therefore,
true to the wise counsel of George
Washington, at all times firmly oppose
the formation of entangling alliances
with England as well as with any
other country, whereby our country
may be involved in unnecessary u r ar.
“We denounce ’the defamers who
have not only instigated public ill will
against Germany, but who have by
their gross slanders also sown the
seeds of discord among our own peo-
pie, and we solemnly protest against
the proposed alliance with England.
“We further declare that with all
lawful means at our disposal, especial-
ly in political campaigns, we will at all
times strenuously oppose all those who
favor the wicked attacks made upon
friendly nations and who labor to en¬
tangle our country into an alliance
with England. We call upon the com¬
mittee that has had in charge arrange¬
ments for these meetings to invite all
German-American churches, societies
and orders iu this city to send a dele¬
gate to a convention to be held at an
early date for the purpose of forming
a permanent organization that the
German citizens may be called to ac¬
tion whenever it shall become neces-
sary to protect the blessing of our
American institution against wicked
aud wily politicians.
“We call upon the committee to
send copies of these declarations to the
president of the United States, to his
secretaries and the senators and rep¬
resentatives in congress.”
M’KINLEY SAYS GOODBY.
President Takes Leave of Thomasville,
Ga., Regretfully.
President and Mrs. McKinley, Vice
President Hobart, Postmaster General
Emory Smith, Dr. Rixey, Assistant
Secretary Cortelyou and Stenographer
Barnes left Thomasville, Ga., at 3:12
o’clock Monday afternoon for Wash¬
ington.
The special train was run just out¬
side the station so the people could
gather around the rear platform, upon
which the president, Mrs. McKin'ey
aud Vice President Hobart appeared
and bowed their acknowledgment.
Some one called for three cheers for
McKinley, and then the president
made a few remarks, saying:
“We would rather be coming to
Thomasville than departing from it.
We have had a most restful and enjoy¬
able time, and thank you all over and
over again for your kind courtesies
and your considerate hospitality. We
bid you goodby most regretfully.”
PARDONS RECOMT 1 ENDED.
Georgia Prison Commission Sends In
a List of Nineteen.
Recommendations for pardons m
nineteen cases have been sent to Gov¬
ernor Candler, of Georgia, by the state
prison commissioners.
In all of the cases the convicts are
reported to be in a very bad condition,
most of them utterly helpless, and it
appears that the commissioners desired
to get rid of them before the transfer
to the prison farm is made.
AMERICANIZATION OF SANTIAGO.
Oar Ideas Take a Strong Hold on Men, Women
and Chi drcn.
1 was greatly interested in seeing
now rapidly the town of Santiago da
Cuba ts becoming Americanized, writes
Civ.rg. Kenaatt, lu the Outlook. A
-g"d Cuban b«>«ti>!ack shouted at
wo, ' Shine? Shine ’em up?” How
these Santiago street arabs have ac¬
quired precisely the words, voice, tone
and pronunciation of the ferryboat
bootblacks in New York I don’t know;
nut they have. Many of them can also
count in English, and, 1 am sorry to
say, swear fluently in the same lan-
gunge. Half the street boys in the city
can whistle our bugle calls, "After the
Ball” and “The Star Spangled Ban¬
ner.”
I happened, a night or two ago, just
before sunset, to be standing on the
edge of the parade ground in front of
the Fifth Infantry barracks when "Re¬
treat” was sounded and the national
colors were slowly lowered to tUe
music of "The Star Spangled Banner.”
A large number of dirty, ragged street
urchins, of all ages, sizes and complex¬
ions, had assembled to watch the drill
and the dress parade, Tli’e instant
that the band struck up “The Star
Spangled Banner” and the flag began
to descend slowly from Its staff every
boy who wore a hat or a cap promptly
took it off and stood bareheaded in re-
speetful silence until the ceremony
ended. I don’t know what they though*
nor how T much they understood, but I
am told that they began this practice
months ago of their own accord, when
they first noticed that American by¬
standers followed it, and that they
h ;J -ve strictly observed the custom ever
since.
There can be no doubt, I think, that
American customs, American ideas
and American methods are beginning
already to influence not only the boys,
but the men and women of this city,
In dress, in social habits, in commer¬
cial transactions and in a growing re¬
gard for neatness and cleanliness, one
sees everywhere the slow but sure
working of the leaven of civilization
and enlightenment.
One year ago, under the Spanish re¬
gime, there was not a public school-
house in the city—that is, a building
originally intended for educational pur¬
poses—nor was there anything like a
system of free public Instruction. Now
there are seventeen elementary and
grammar schools and a high school,
who an average number of 1,922 pu¬
pils, and the private houses rented for
temporary use as school buildings are
wholly inadequate to accommodate the
number of children who have applied
for admission. Major Baccardi, who
is ex-officio president of the Board of
Public Instruction, has just recom¬
mended that thirty more schools, with
accommodations for 1,500 more schol¬
ars, be established within the limits of
the municipality, as soon as there 1*
money available.
