AFTER WH1TEMARSH
New Governor of a Philippine
Province is Under Charges.
TO APPEAR BEFORE COMMISSION
Alleged That He Has Used Public
Office For Private Gain at Ex¬
pense of Natives—Other
Manila News Items.
The United States Philippine com¬
mission at Manila has ordered IT.
Phelps Whitmarsh, the governor of
lienguet province, to Manila to submit
to an investigation, owing to allega¬
tions that he had been using bis posi¬
tion to his personal advantage, in ac¬
quiring iand and mining rights from
the natives. He is at present charged
with Indiscretion and violation of his
instructions. The commission partic¬
ularly instructed Governor Whitmarsh
to cultivate friendship ami protect the
interests of the Igarrotes who suffered
tvom Spanish extortions and cxploita
tions.
Colonel Duval, of the Fourth regi
raent, which formerly occupied the
provinces of Union and Benguet, and
Dr. lvieffer, the regimental surgeon
who was prominent in the civil admin
istration of the provinces, complained
of Governor Whitmarsh s methods of
administering his office.
The commission is inclined to attri¬
bute the feeling existing to military
opposition to civilian authority in Ben¬
guet. Voluntary statements made by
natives to Commissioner
while on a visit to Benguet, formed the
basis of the investigation. General
Bell has forwarded similar allegations
to Manila.
Two friars who were invited to
lastao, province of i angasinan, to
ebrate a holiday, were moboed. A
tive priest denounced the action of
speople, whereupon the mob attacked
the priest. The friars fled. The na
tive papers have since inaugurated
newed attacks on the friars.
, Generals Chaffee and Wade are

tary headquarters in soutnern
from Manila to Lipa, in Batangas
ince, is contemplated, Pardo de
vera, who has been announced as a
ture member of the civil
and General Cailles, the
leader who recently surrendered in
guna province, are going to that
lnce in order to organize

JESUP. GEORGIA. FRIDAY. JULY 12. 1901.
3L0CBY RACE RIOT RESULTED
Negroes at Irontor., O., Attack Whites
VVnil Knives and Clubs —Lynch¬
ing Narrowly Averted.
At Fleetwood park, Ironton, O., late
Thursday afternoon John and Albert
Slaghtcr, white, were probably fataliy
stabbed by Luther Page and Abner
Owens, colored, and Charles Martin
and Riley Slagbter were beaten with
clubs. The trouble occurred over an
attach on a small white boy by a ne¬
gro. A riot followed. Finally the ne¬
groes were arrested and placed in the
county jail.
After midnight an attempt was made
to organize a mob and lynch the pris¬
oners. A crowd gathered, but no one
volunteered to lead the assault on the
: jail. If the attack had been made, a
bloody battle undoubtedly would have
occurred, as fifty armed negroes were
on guard in and around the jail where
their friends were imprisoned.
Page and Owens were secretly ar¬
raigned Friday afternoon in the coun¬
ty jail. Arrangements were made to
remove them to Portsmouth jail for
safety immediately, as the authorities
feared trouble Friday night.
The removal of the negroes averted
j a crisis. train in The closed two men carriage, were driven guarded to

and halted a square from the depot,
j Deputy Sheriff Payne and the formed police
force waited at the station and

were led to the train in irons. Not a
dozen people were aware of the trans¬
fer before the train arrived and was
gone.

UNION IS INEVITABLE
United States and Cuba Cannot
Long Remain Separate.
SO DECLARES MAXiillO GOMEZ
Noted Cuban Leader Attendc Banquet
Given In His Honor at New
York—Expresses His Sen¬
timents Freely.
A New York dispatch says: A din¬
ner was given at the Union League
Club Saturday evening to General
Maximo Gomez and General T. Estra¬
da Palma.
The dinner was arranged on the
spur of the moment, General Gomez
intending to return to Cuba during the
day and not deciding to remain over
until morning, when he accepted the
invitation, and the guests were sum
moned by telegraph.
The Cuban general was the hero
of the occasion and was warmly re¬
ceived. He made a brief speech, which
was interpreted by General Gonzales.
General Gomez said he was almost
touched to tears by tbo remarkable
reception he had received in tho Uni¬
ted States. He knew Cuba was in
debted to the United States, but he
never knew until he came here how
deep that debt was—that it was not
merely the obligation of one people to
another, but of brother to brother.
Every Cuban, born and bred, he said,
lived and died with the idea of Cuba
libre before him, with the hope of the
people being free and relieved of the
yoke of oppression.
Cuba and the United States, said the
general, belong together. It Is only a
question of gravitation when they will
be one. But at present, after the great
struggle In which hundreds ot thou¬
sands of lives were sacrificed and when
men returned to their homes only to
find their wives and children starved
to death in the restricted barriers in
which Wcyler held them under hia pol¬
icy of reconcentration, they felt, that
they must have Cuba libre. It is real¬
is'd fully, he said, that Cuba cannot
get along without the United States,
but the Cubans do want to feel free
dom.
General Gomez referred to General
Paltna as the hold-over president of
Cuba, having been elected during ths
insurrection of 1868, and he pointed to
his fellow Cuban as the first president
of Cuba libre.
General Palma made a feeling re
ply, warming to the subject of Cuba
libre, and speaking enthusiastically of
the future of the Pearl of the Antilles.
After the dinner General Gomez said
fop the great good they had don o to
the cause of Cuba libre. He 6aid that
when he came here years ago he was
very sad, but that on this visit he was
very happy and was glad to recognize
how much the American people had
done f 0 r Cubans.

INSURGENTS BROUGHT TO BAY
One Thousand, Under Leadership of
Bellarmino, Forced to Surren¬
der By Sixth Cavalry.
A Manila special says: Saturday
the forces of the Insurgent leader,
which have recently been operating
around Donsol, province of Sorogon,
were driven across the mountains by
the Second infantry and finally cap¬
tured by the Sixth cavalry. Bellar¬
mino, with 1,000 men and 2S4 guns,
surrendered to Colonel Wint at Abay.
capital of the province of that name.
Later in the day the official an¬
nouncement of the surrender of Bel¬
larmino was made. According to this
account Bellarmino, who nas been op¬
erating in the province of Sorsogon,
surrendered Thursday at Legaspi, on
Albay bay, with tlilrty-two officers, 215
guns and 3,000 rounds of ammunition.
The insurgent presidents of that sec¬
tion of the country and many Filipi¬
nos' accompanied Bellarmino, who
gave himself up to Colonel Wint, of
the Sixth cavalry. In all, since June
1,081 insurgents have surrendered in
that district. Colonel Wint’s regiment
came from China with General Chaf¬
fee. Before disembarking at Legaspi,
Colonel Wint went to General Chaffee
and asked the latter if he wished him
to clean up that part of the country.
General Chaffee replied:
“Yes, but I do not command until
July 4th.”
In three weeks Bellarmino was cor¬
nered in spite of the theories of many
officers that cavalry could not be used
in effective operations in such a coun
try.
Former Filipino officers belonging
to Malvar’s command, report that fifty
insurgents were killed and that many
were wounded by the command of
Lieutenant Manaei during a recent
two days’ fight in the province of Ba
tangas.
The Twentieth infantry has been or¬
dered from northern Luzon to Batan
gas.
Civil Governor Taft and Military
Governor Chaffee are working agree¬
ably together, 'l'ney are holding in¬
formal conferences and are arriving at
mutual understandings, a state of af¬
fairs hitherto almost unknown.
The insurgent g4)neral, Cailles, who
surrendered at Santa Cruz, Laguna
province, June 24th, and his friends
have offered to negotiate with Malvar,
the insurgent leader in southern Lu¬
zon, for the latter’s surrender.
VON HOHENLOHE DEAD.
Noted German Diplomat and Friend of
Americans Succumbs to Old Age.
Prince von Holionlohe, formerly
German imperial chancellor, died at
Ragatz, Switzerland, Friday.
Prince von Hohenlohe’s death was
generally unexpected In Berlin, as he
left the city several week/i ago appa¬
rently in good health, although his in¬
creasing weakness was evident, The
prince arrived at Ragatz extremely ex¬
hausted. His death is attributed to the
weakness of old age.
The officials of the United States
embassy informed the correspondent
of tho Associated Press that the death
of tne former chancellor as much re¬
gretted because of his uniform kind¬
ness toward Americans and American
Interests.
Prince von Hohenlohe’s attitude,
through his chancellorship, was always
fair and conciliatory in regard to Ger
man-Ameriean relations. Althought he
was an extensive real estate owner, he
did not share the agrarian hostility to¬
ward the United States. It as cer¬
tainly owing in a large measure to
Prince von Hohenlohe’s friendly spirit
during several trying years that Ger¬
many's relations with the United
States never departed from cordial¬
ity. Me received many Americans and
was always friendly to them.
