Hare is a Broad Hint to the G eorgia Pops Nashville, Tennessee, lugust 19 —When the populist state executive committee met yester day to complete its organization, a surprise was sprung in the shape of the resignation of three members, which left the com mittee without a q mum, and the committee aeju.irned until September. The members resigning are J. H. McDowell, W. J. Flatt and T. J. Ogilvie, and in a letter jointly signed, they say : “Realizing the impossibility of bringing about the returns forvjWhich we have heretofore labor*d, with the party in its present disintegrated and disaf fected condition,and having de termined to support Hon. Ben ton McMillin for governor of Tennessee, we feel that the honorable ’pursue is first m resign, and we hereby tender to you our resignations.” Mr. J. 11. McDowell, w’no has been the most influ nitial popu list in Tennessee since the p ir ty’s organiz ition, is one of Ten nessee’s members of the nation al people’s party committee, says in explanation : "The Populist party has ab solutely n ) hope, because of the disintegration of its state and national organiza'ion. The dem ocrats have nominated a man for governor in whom we have confidence. Roth his moral and political character are above reproach. Just what he says we believe he will do. We believe his pledges of reform will be carried out,and have the utmost confidence in his ability and integrity. ‘‘While always vigorously opposing the Populists, he had treated us courteously, and never abused us. Mr. McMillin could have been nominated for gov ernor at the time Buchanan was nominated if he had consented t" run. He was offered the ■nominat on by those of us who afterwards named Buchanan you see Mr. McMillin was our choice eight veirs ago: I do not think Richardson, for governor will get over 2,000 or votes if he stays on the track.” ..TAPE WORMS 1, 3 '“ ,,e w »™> eighteen feet long at < a ‘',! n thn Hcen<- after fny taking two b?i h.A h' r*' .

AU OURS Ottey And Herriti Capture| all The Islands IN PHILIPPINE GROUP. Are Ours, Outside The Famous Protocol. Washington, Aug. 19.—The war department has made public the dispatch cf Gen. Merritt, giving the official story of Ma nila’s fall, and also the text of the significant instructions sent Gen. Merritt yesterday requiring the insurgents and all others to recognize the authority of the United States in the territory occupied by our forces. Tliesa dispatches were about the only positive development of the day. Nothing had been heard from Gen. Merritt as to the casualties last Saturday except that he es timaten the killed and wounded at fifty. Another point on, which the officials are without definite in formation information is as to the extent of our present autjior it v m the Philippines. Under tne, pu.ice protocol,.cue United.Stites : was given the occupation of Manila, with bay and harbor, until a permanent disposition of the Philippine question was reached. But according to press dis patches, which tire, however, so circumstantial as to be credited l in most official quarters, Gen Merritt and Admiral Dewey re ceived the capitulation of the entire Philippine archipelago. There appears to be some doubt, therefore, even* among officials, as to whether our pres ent authority and jurisdiction covers Manlia only, as provided by the pea o e protocol, or covers all the Philippines. There is a) disposition to await fuller official information before laying down a policy as the extent of our jurisdiction in the islands. Secretary Alger said today that he hid heard no thing offi cial of the surrender of the entire Philippine group. At the same time the secretary did not discredit the accuracy of the j press advices stating that the) capitulation had this far reach ing effect. Pending more definite in for mation, tne attitude of the ofli cials is to assuma that our authority covers Manila city, Manila bay and harbor, and also reaches other territy as may be occupied by the military and naval forces. The latter phrase is elastic enough to cover any or al! of the Philippine islands that may have b?en brought under our authority by the recent sur render. The instructions sent to Gen. Merritt have in view the expan sion of our possessions, based on thS ter in mentioned in the, protocol, as they distinctly state' that this government is in pos ssssion of Manila and that its authority to preserve peace and order will be exerted “within the territ >ry occupied by their military and naval forces.” The cabinet meeting tomorrow is expected to deal with the I OMINOUS I *♦ War Department Worrid With Santiago’s Outlook. NATIVES PERSECUTE Spaniards in Cuba and in Porto Rico. ■ 1 Washington, Aug. 19. Dis patches of importance were re ceived and considered at the war department early today. Immediately after the arrival I of Secretary Alger a! the war department he had a consulta tion with Gen. Corbin and de nied himself to visitors. The conference was a protracted one. They were considering disnatch es received from Gen. JM jrritt and from Santiago. The condinous at Santiago) are causing a great deaf of un easiness and it is believezi that more troops will be ordered 1 there very soon.
