FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence OF the Alexandria Gazette. J
WASHINGTON, Sept. Is.

Il
WASHINGTON, Sept. Is.
Evidences OF an extensive swindliue
scheme have come to the knowledge
of the War Department. Many in
qnires have been received from mer
chants and dealers in various parts o.
the country regarding the present ad
dresses OF certain alleged volunteer Of
fcers. Investigation has shown that
these names without exception do not
appear on the rolls OF the War Depart.
ment. and are unknown to the officials.
Further inquiry into the subject has
shown that persons giving these 6cti-
tious names have bought valuable goods
on credit, claiming to be in the military
service Of the United States and prom
ising to pay at certain time. The
swindlers have then disappeared. No
definite trace of the swindlers has been
found.
Adjutant General Corbin today re-
ceived the following telegram from
General Otis at Manila: affairs much
more satisfactory. Demands for with
drawal Of insurgent forces complied
with and all withdrawn or Withdrawing
to-day, except small forces 10 outlying
districts which are not obeying insur.
gent leader. Aguinaldo requests few
days in which to withdraw them by de-
Jachments and punish their commanding
officers. Over 1000 already withdrawn.
No concessions granted insurgents, but
strict compliance with demands Of the
O.
feeling prevailing. Manila quiet and
business progressing favorably. No
difficulty anticipated. Have been COM
PEELED to confne Spanish prisoners

The members of the peace commits.
sion, excepting Senator Gray, visited
me White House to-day. They de-
cioed to say anything as to the claims
% be put forth by this country. In of.
fetal circles there is no doubt that the
Luzon Island will be the minimum de-
mand OF the United States. The fate of
the other islands of the Philippine
group may not be finally settled until
the meeting of the President, the Cabi.
net and the peace commission is held
this evening. 1t is considered certain
that none of the islands will be return
ed to Spain unless satisfactory guarap-
tees are made that proper treat
ment will be given the natives. The
upshot of the whole matter is likely to
he the control of all the islands by the
United States either directly or through
a protectorate.
a great many people here from diff
ferent parts of the country believe that
a large force will have to be sent GER
tainly to the Philippines, and probably to
me conquered provinces in the Atlantic,
and that in view of the treatment the
soldiers have received in the latter, there
will be great difficulty in obtaining vol
unteers for such service; but Senator
Daniel is reported here as saving that
President Mckinley could get a mil
lion men in short order to go anywhere.

and certain death" insists the Senator.
mo matter what the cost, the Ameri
eau people are patriots, and are ready
for any emergency, and in spite of the
mismanagement of affairs by the War
Department"

IT'S reported that there is some dis
satisfaction among the democrats OF the
9:h and 10Th congressional districts OF
this State. This eau hardly be so, for
nobody accuses the democratic candi-
dates in either OF these districts OF either
personal or political delinquency, and as
democratic principles and polio IS mus
be more acceptable to all Virginia
democrats than those OF the republi-
cans, surely they must prefer mem
Der of their own party to man whose
political principles are opposed 10 theirs,
and who, besides, fayors the policy Of
appointing negroes to local political
offices in Southern communities.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, ard that is By col =
sttutionsl remedies. Deafness is caused by
az inhamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachisn Tuoe. When this tube is
inhamed you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the in
fammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases ont OF ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an iniamed condition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused By Cst,rfh) that ca n,

As MOST ofthe people OF the Philip
pine Islands are heathens, there will be
great difficulty 10 inducing them to &C
cept the Christian faith, inasmuch as eli
the many different varieties Of that
faith will now doubtless attempt to re-
generate them, and the poor ignorant
savages, not being able to determine
which is the right one, and having com
mon sense enough to know that there
can only be one religion that is true,
will naturally be disposed to douot the
truth OF all the new ones, and remain
sreadfast to that il which they and
their ancestors for untold generations
have found such consolation as they
required.

a saw mill. The marriage is to be SOL
emnized in Dora's bome-the one

4 Triple Tragedy.

LOUISVILLE, Sept. 15.-Guilty love
caused triple tragedy in the Enter
prise Hotel here at o'clock this morn
lag. Joseph Tlliiers and Nellie Nc
Cutiin, both OF this city, and the mans
1S-nonth;-old baby were found dead in
u room in the hotel. The man and
woman were both shot in the right
temple, and the baby had been
poisoned. The man and woman
had also taken poison. Three
notes were found which told the
Story. Two were written ~ the WON
an and one by VilAers. Those written
by the woman said she had quarreled
with her lover and determined both
should die, and gave him morphine.
me one written by the man said he
was resigned TO his fate. The sup
position is that the poison did not
work fast enough and the woman
took 81 calibre pistol and shot the men
through the temple. She then put bullet
through her brain in the same place. The
baby died from the poison which was given
in Iursing bottle. Yillier's child was by

ONE OF THE most patent instances {.
peanut politics" recently exhibited il
this country is that afforded by the ad
ministration in refusing to relieve Col
Bryan of his military command, lest he
go upon the stump and exhort the op-
ponents of republicanism to do their
full duty at the coming elections. Why,
to right thinking people it seems that
as Col. Bryan ran against Mr.. McKin-
ley at the last election, natural courte-
sy alone would be sufficient to induce
the latter to relieve him at the first OPP
portunity. But there are men and
men, and nothing is surprising Of a
man whose leading strings are held by
Mr.. Hanna.

NOTWITHSTANDING the lack OF work
in Washington, large number OF the
laborers OF that city who were fortu-
nate enough to have secured employ
ment, deliberately abandoned it, not
because Of any objection they had to
their employers, but for the assigned
reason that some of the employees OF
other employers in that city were not
paid their wages last week. Their
may be good sense in their action, but
people with reputation for good sense
can't see it.

%. has been cleared up. There is q
woman in the case, as was stated ia the
Gazstte last week. 1t appears that he
had made an engagement with young

man failed to meet him ct the appoint
ed time aud place. He, however, left
Washington aud went to Kentucky
and there tried to get the young wo-
man to Join him. His letter fell into
the hands of friends OF the young wo-
man. 1t is now evident that he had
been preparing his business for months
to this end. He accumulated all the
money he could, allowing his bills to
run, and placing the daily receipts of
the store Oh deposit. This he took with
him. Since the appointment of the re-
ceiver BY the Circuit Court, indebted

ACCORDING to some of the Northern
worshippers of spurious heroes, charge
by the American army at Santiago was
made, not by order of the commanding,
or any other officer, but by a regiment
II buglar, who sounded it because he
deemed it advisable to do so. Why
certainly, heroes are born, not made,
and West Point is by no means nee
essary, and discipline q needless i'm
position. But if al this be so, why
the expense OF teaching military tactics
and the science and rules of war? But
the average hero worshipper is in sad
need of understanding.

Kept His Eye on Death and Won.
The hospitals are naturally the scene of
many pathetic, some humorous. incidents,
and a few in which humor and pathos are
sadly mixed writes a Washington CORE
spondent of the New York Tribune. One
day last week, Pat Lafferty and mike"
Dolan, cronies in peace, companions In
arms, both wounded before Santiago, We're
brought into one of the city hospitals and
found themselves side by side as they had
lived and fought, in the great war.
How are We, Pat?" asked Mike of
his frieHd
Mr. Lafferty, if We place I likes to
maintain me dignity, if 1 am shot through
the breast"
"Well, how are ye, Mr.. Lafferty?" re-
peated Mike" smiling feebly
IF 1 didn't feel so bad I'd feel better, -
responded Pat. But how are We yersef,
Mr.. Dolan?"
I'm dead entirely, Mr. .Lafferty, an I'm
expecting to git worse" ~
The doctor making his rounds interrupt
ed this interesting conversation by eau
tioning the wounded men to go to sleep.
Mike Doran turned his face away. pull
ed the clothes about his shoulders and ODE
dently settled himself, but Pat stared
straight before him.
Go to sleep. Pat coaxed the surgeon.
"Sleep is the best medicine for you"
MT LaIefty, II We pidZe, doctor. want
to maintain my dignity, if I am shot
through the breast"
"Wen Mr.. Lafferty, then" said the
young physician amiably. Go to sleep.
You'n be better in the morning"
Not once shall l shut me eyes tonight
doctor, not once. If L go to sleep death
might come to me in my sleep. If 1 stay
awake 1 can fight death. l don't intind to
die tonight, doctor. Mind that. Poor Mike
there, knows his own business, but dom
intind 70 die"
The doctor smiled at Pats determina-
ton, but he had little hopes for him. The
poor Irishman was sorely wounded. When
ever he passed by Pats cot, however, he
found him with his eyes staring wide
open, and once felt his pulse, fearing that
unwelcome death had already come
Don't We be uneasy, DOCTOR" said the
patient family, struggling with pain
Mr.. Lafferty is not goin to die tonight"
In the morning, when the nurse came tc
look after him, he gave her CHEEKY greet
ing, and it is pleasant to chronicle that his
brave spirit won out" and that he is in
a fair way to recovery. But his friend and
comrade, Mike Dolan, placid and obedient
Mike Doian, had crossed the bar"
