up that he was a subscriber for $500 of
the bonds He empowered the Produce
Exchange Trust company of New Yoik
to make the necessary advancements
on the bonds, holding them as col
lateral Thereafter Secretary Gage re-
fused to make this allotment of bonds
on the ground, it is understood, that
the subscription was not bona fide, but
was made in the interest of a third
party.

George B. Wrightman and seeks to re-
strain Secretary Gage from setting
aside the award of many small lots of
bonds, aggregating S33534O, which were
to be handled through the Produce Ex-
change Trust company. The court fix
ed the hearing for oct. IL. Ex-Secre-

MANILA, Oct. 1.--Aguinaldo has
landed 700 armed men near Ilollo. other
insurgent troops. under General Luc-
BAN are marching south to join him.
The suburbs Of Iloilo have been taken

have been killed. At Nuevacaceres the
captain Of the civil guard, with his wife
and four children. his Lieutenant the
latter's wife and four other women

The fact that the leaders Of the anti
Aguinaldo movement in the northern
provinces, which centers its hopes In the
United States. were not officially repre-
sented at the independence celebration
and were indicted individually has
cause a sinister impression.
AT this celebration Aguinaldo declared
that he favored following the principle
Of the Monroe doctrine-Philippine for

He called upon alf loyal subjects TO

INSURGENTS PROVING TOO STRONG.
Spanish Government VIII Ask Per-
mission From Washington TO
Send Rc-enforccments to VISA
yas-Rebel Outrages at IIoiIo.

MADRID. Oct. 1.-Senor Montero Rios
telegraphed last night 10 Senor Sagasta
saying that he had received a most sat
isfactory impression from the attitude
OF the American peace commission.
The Nacional not ordinarily a very
serious paper strikes a note which re-
fleets the sentiment Of the most serious
men here 1t boldly advocates Spain
giving up the Philippines.
This attitude now Is taken by many
Of the leading papers throughout the
country, the view being that retention
Of the archipelago Is yet another pitfall
FOR Spain.
At the same time the government
holds 5000 men ready TO send 10 the
Philippines.
The minister Of state lamented before
the queen the fact that certain papers
were In favor OF the cession Of the Phil
ippines. IL rs interesting to know that
the minister of state considers that
Spain should maintain her sovereignty
over the entire archipelago, and In such
a spirit the Spanish delegates at the
conference are inspired.
The question OF a number Of negroes
who have come back from Cuba Is at
tracing much attention. Sagasta has
found the key 10 the problem and pro-
poses to form them into battalions
destined for the Spanish possessions In
Africa.
The government, Il is said, has de-
cided TO authorize General Rios 20
grant reforms in the Visayas islands
on the lines demanded by the inhabt-
ants and to concentrate his forces at
Mindanao, as there are only $50 men
garrisoning the Visayas
The Spanish ministers also decided
60 protest to the government at Wash
ington against the refusal Of the Amori-
cans TO permit Spanish troops to be
sent to the Visayas, while, It is claim-
ed, the insurgents are constantly re-
ceiving arms and cannon with which
TO attack other islands, (which the
Americans permit without even pre-
tending to'intervene."
The Spanish cabinet, it is added, VIII
ncuuaint its Paris commissioners with
these contentious in order that the1
may be used in the peace negotiations.
Finally, Il Is announced, the goyern-
mcnt here would inform the govern
ment at Washington that II had decid-
cd to send endorsements to the
Visayas, and Il has ordered seven bat
teries Of artillery In Andaiusla to get
ready to start for the Philippine is
lands IN "a hours.
In addition to this the cabinet viii re-
peat It's protests against the insurgents
continuing to hold Spanish prisoners in
the Philippine islands
The government here estimates that
there are 100000 people in Porto Rico
who desire 70 return to Spain.
The government is seeking the con-
sent of the United States to send Span
fish troops from Manila to the Visayas
islands TO suppress the rebellion there,
so as 10 avoid the Necessity Of dispatch
Ing troops from Spain

Camp Life No Picnic.

The Rogersville (Tenn.) Heraid
publishes the following in its last
issue:
S. Don Mitchell and Ed. q. Beal
Of Co. tx" 2nd Tennessee Volunteers,
arrived home last Friday from Camp
Mead, Middletown, Pa. They both
have honorable discharges from the
service. Mr.. Beal says that his letter,
"Horrors Of Camp Life" published
in the Herald few weeks since, con-
tanned nothing but facts, and then
the truth was not all told. Young
Neill, another member of this regi-
ment, who is also at home here on
discharge, verifes Mr.. Beal's state
ment. They also say that if certain
Lieutenants in this regiment ever re-
turn here and again venture into
Hancock county, what the boys over
there will do for them will be plenty.
1t is no mystery to these men why in
the battles in and around Santiago,
every officer 10 many Of the companies
were kiIled-the fact being that they
had better gunners behind them than
in front. Their brutality to their
own men brought their destruction.

The Country Newspaper.

The morning papers lay on the
seat beside him in the elevated train
He was reading with eagerness an
awkward, crumpled little sheet. The
printing Of the paper was uncouth,
for it looked as though half the letters
we're smashed The impression OF
the type was dull and blurred.
1t was the weekly paper printed in
the little town where this prosperous,
well-dressed New Yorker had been
born and bred. Many a man who
has carved his fortune in this city
halls the little country paper every
week as welcome messenger. 1t
tells how the crops are furnishing,
how the fences are being whitewashed
every spring, aud, perhaps, once in
while there is a paragraph about the
dear old mother, who has got into
print by entertaining the sewing
circle.
And the prosperous New Yorker
reads it entirely, while the metro
