BACON OF GEORGIA.
Ought to Hold a Good-Sized Rest.
ing Place in the PHILIPPINES.

WASHINGTON, Aug Ex-senator
Bacon of Georgia was in Washington
to-day, and called on the President and
afterward at the War Department. He
was looking after the interests of Geor-
gia troops, some of whom desire to be
removed to different stations He says
the Georgia boys do not want to be
mustered out, and prefer to go to Cuba.
Senator Bacon does not believe in the
retention of the Philippines, but says
the United States ought to hold a good
sized resting place." not only a coal
ing station, but enough territory to
meet all needs in the future. He does
not think the United States ought to
assume the management of a large pop
ulation which it would be difficult to
govern, and to acquire islands which
it would be impossible to defend.
Senator Bacon says that in Cuba and
Porto Rico we have problems enough
now, but thinks that they will come out
in satisfactory manner. He says
that it is unfortunate that the Cubans
come under our direct view at the worst
possible time. Eight months ago he
thinks they would have made a very
much better appearance, for since that
time they have undergone great hard
ships and been unable to procure eth
er food or clothing, hence the condition
in which they were found by our troops
at Santiago.
Senator Bacon believes that when the
insurgents fully understand the pur-
poses and the beneficial effects Of Unit
ed States Intervention, all difficulties
will be adjusted.

GENERAL MORALES,
The Leader of the Guatemala Revo-
luton Reported Dead.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The State
| Department received a cable dispatch
from Minister Hunter at Guatemala,
| telling of the dramatic death Of Gen
eral Morales, leader of the Guatemala
rising. The dispatch is as follows:
Guatemala, Aug. 18th.
| ITO Day, Washington: Ocos was
occupied on the 10th by the Govern
ment forces, and 900 sacks of coffee
from destruction. This occupation
was made without force by Captain
Fegan of the British gunboat Leander,
acting under request of British, Ger
man and United States Ministers.
Morales retreated before national
troops to Cuchumatanes mountains,
where he was surrounded and captured
yesterday in cave, where he had been
hiding for several days without food
and i'll from hunger fatigue and ex-
posure. Commanding General ordered
him removed to San Marcos. Medi-
cal aid was summoned, but he died on
the way, at San Sebastian. last night

events which have occurred in Guate-

band along the Mexican border, and

The condition of affairs has been re-
ported to the State Department from
time to time, and efforts We're made in
connection with the Mexican author-
ties to put an end to the depredations.
There was some delay, however, owing
to the death of the Mexican Minister'S
wife, and his consequent absence from
Washington.

united in asking the aid of the British
naval commander at Ocos. This has
proved effective, according to the re-
port just received from Minister Hunt
er. as the revolution is ended with the
capture and death of General Morales.
Prospero Morales has been a con-
spicuous figure in Central American
affairs during the last three years He
was Minister of War in the Cabinet of
President Barrios, and it is said that
he used the war office to foment the
rebellion against Barrios. The latter

The Hawaiian Alphabet.

There are but 10 letters in the Ha-
waiian alphabet. These, with their pro-
nunciations, are: A (ah), (a), 20 as
in ho), u too), h (hay), k (kay), (la),
m (moo), n (noo), (pay) and w (vay).
The missionaries added thirteenth, t,
but the natives won't have it, and con-
tinue to pronounce, for instance, the
name Of the root from which poi is
made "kara, although the mission
aries have it tara. Every vowel in n
word is distinctly sounded, except that
the vowels "ai'' are sounded "i,'' as in
English. Waikiki, the beach in Homo
lulu, is properly pronounced "Vi-
keekee. - There is,h great difference in
the speech of the high and low caste
natives. The first call their island
group Ha-va .ee-ee, and the latter be-
gin it all right with "Ha, - but con-
clude with a cultural grunt, and the
word heard most, Aloha sounds soft
and beautiful on the lips of the first,
but is lazy, good natured grunt as the
latter speak it.
Aloha is in their limited vocabulary
at oncea greeting and farewell, form
al expression Of regard and of deer
love. In the latter ease it is increased
in warmth and depth of meaning by
modifying adjectives annexed instea
of prefixed, as "Aloha nui, /" "Aloha

How She Won over the Judge.

A woman resident of Detroit relates
an interesting tale Of Kansas justice
years ago. 1t was after her wedding trip
that her husband was called to Kansas
on business and a real estate dealer, out
OF spite, had him arrested. The prisoner
was taken before local justice of the
peace. The incensed bride insisted upon
attending the trial, and while it was in
progress she SO far forgot herself as to
deliberately level her opera glasses upon
the justice, who dashed under the tabl
and shouted
'Deperty, disarm that womann'
The officer secured the glasses and
cautiously laid them before the magis.
trate, who promptly fined the woman
$1,000 for contempt of court. With
gracious dignity she asked the right to
defend herself, and, going up to the
bench, she explained that the glasses
were not harmful, and had the Justice
look through them, and after a few
pretty words of apology she presented
them to him. He hit the table mighty
blow to reconvene court, and fined the
prosecuting witness $25 "fur insultin a
