A BETTER FEELING.
Common Desire to Avoid a Conflict at
Manila.

London, September 14.-The Manila
correspondent of the Times, telegraphing
Tuesday says;
ga better feeling prevails between the
Americans and the insurgents, probably
induced through the influence of the in
surgent leaders assembled at Malolos.
Today Aguinaldo sent an officer to ask
permission to move a detachment Of
troops from Londo, one of the suburbs
of Manila. The request was promptly
granted ard large detachment of insur-
gants evacuated this afternoon, marching
through the Americans lines in the direc-
ton Of the water works and receiving
proper military honors en- route. Both
parties seem anxious to avoid conflict. "
Hong Kong, September ia special
dispatch received here from Manila from
a Spanish source saws:
"Aguinaldo has liberated all the Spanish
prisoners. The Americans, in violation of
the terms of the capitulation, have seized
the public offices. destroyed the archives,
disregarded the municipal laws and are
collecting the overdue Spanish taxes"
Manila, Philippine Islands, September
13.-The American bark Abbey, with a
cargo of arms ammunition from the United
States, which left Canton ostensibly for
Singapore under heavy bonds, ten days
ago, has, it is said, landed five thou
sand Krag-Jorgensen rifles and cartridges
in Batangas province, for the insurgents.
The report seems impossible, though it
comes from good source.
The indications today are that the in
surgents intends to comply peaceably with
the American request to leave the suburbs
Of Manila on September Is.

Obituary.

81, J. NJ. Iockhart was born in Baptist
lalley, May 18th, 1858, died of Bright's
lease, April 9th, 1897.
He hal been member of the church
for twenty years. He acted we'll his part
as Christian; dutiful to every task i'm
posed on him, prompt in all his obligations,
answering in moral character, and a
fixed purpose to do his whole duty. He
was leader in church work, with a rich
baritone voice he could be heard above all
Others as he sang the beautiful songs Of
Zion. But that sweet voice will never be
heard on earth again. God had use for it
in the upper chorus, and while there is
vacant seat in the church below, our
brother adds one more to the Everlasting
throng."
He was go much beloved by his dear
wife and children. His presence made
his humble home a little heaven, and
when his name is called the unbidden tear
is seen to fall. He leaves wife and five
children. May that God who careth for
widows and orphans be their everlasting
portion. Amen.

Development of Southwest Virginia
Minerals.

S C. Wells Roanoke College, Salem, Va, in sa-
lem Times-Registerl
think your readers will be interested
to hear of movement iu the direction of
developement of the minerals of Southwest
Virginia, which has just been witnessed at
Salem. A committee of seven was recently
formed here to arrange for meeting in
the early future of furnace men, owners of
mineral properties, and others, whose in
terest lies in what may be roughly called
Southwest Virginia, viz, in that territory
which, commencing with Allegheny. Rock
bridge and Amherst counties, and run
ming as far Southeast as Pittsylvania, ex-
tends clear to the southwest corner Of Fir-
ginia. 1t is believed that the lesson taught
in the war just over will render probable
an increased demand for American iron
and coal, and that cooperation Of some
kind among those most interested will do
much to enable this section of the country
to contribute its quota of the supply. 1t is
also our judgment that perhaps no section
of country of equal area in the United
States is so rich in the quantity and va
riety of minerals as Southwest Virginia.
The committee, through one Of its men,
bers, MIR. Emlen Hare Miller, is CORE
spending with representative men living
in different portions Of the section named,
with the object of forming general com.
mittee under whose auspices the meeting
shall be held. We wish to bring together
as large number as practicable of the
very many persons interested, whether
their interest lies in copper, zinc, lead,
coal, or iron. Coal and iron owners will,
of course, exceed other persons in number.
At this time the committee have no sug-
gestions to make for organization of any
kind whatsoever. Individual propositions
of different kinds will probably come be-
fore the meeting when held and the Wis
dom of those in attendance will at that
time either reject them or approve and
act upon them.
The gathering together of number of
business men whose interest in minerals is
common 80 far as the general territory is
concerned and from the point Of view Of
the competition of other States and the
open discussion BY them of the problems
which present themselves, will, it is judged,
be highly beneficial.
We invite correspondence from all per-
sons concerned in this movement. Let
tiers should be addressed for the present to
Mr.. Miller. The date of the meeting will
be fixed as early as practicable. The gen.
eral committee at present consists of the
following: Charles w. Howard, Craig,
county; Edwin N. Wood, Botetourt
county, James c. Haynes, Sam'l w.
Price and H. Drury Ribble, Montgomery
county; James A. Walker and G. r.
Boyd, Wythe county; James r. Terry, j.
w. F. Allen ong, T. j. Shickel, R. G.

HAS GOMEZ RESIGNED 2
Rumor That He Does Not Like the Situa-
tlo1.

tlon.
Santiago de Cuba, September 13.-An
uncontradicted report was received by
General Lawton last night that General
Maxine Gomez, the insurgent comman-
der-in-chief, has rendered his resignation
of the command of the Cuban army to the
Cuban government at Camaguey, and that
it has been accepted. Gomez, it appears,
has been protesting against the Cuban
governments yielding the control Of the
affairs of the Island to the Americans and
the explanation for resigning was his dis
approval of "passive submission to condi-
tions tending to the practical disruption
and retirement of the Cuban republic as
such, and the establishing of the absolute
dominion of the United States"
The Cubans at Santiago were much ex-
cited by the report. 1t was disbelieved
by many, who say that General Gomez's
resignation at this time is utterly improba-
BILE. Others, however, say Gomez resents
the putting of the Cuban army under
American generals, and claims the Cubans
should resist, even by force of arms, il
necessary.
Generals Cebreco, Castillo, Pedro, Pc
rez and other insurgent leaders have
turned over their commands to General
Lawton. General Perez has 5000 men in
the vicinity of Guantanamo, which he will
disband this week by order of General
Castillo. There is now general desire on
the part of the Cuban army to disband, as
the insurgents have learned that the ques'
ton of their back pay will not be consid'
cred by the Americans.

A Tribute 10 the Mule.
.ouisville "couricr-Journ.l' Dem.)

While we are carrying on about the
heroes of the war let us not forget the
army mule. He may not be as kissable
as Hobson, but we owe him just as much
recognition. General Shafter says he
could not have supplied his army at all il
it had not been for the mule, and General
Blanco knew what he was about when ne
rushed to the cable Office and telegraphed
to Madrid how the Americans had killed
that mule at Matauzas.

RHEA AND WALKER MEET
AGAIN.
THIS TIME AT GATE CITY.
The Democrats as Usual Claim the Day,
But Walker Got the Best of the
Discussion, as he Did at Lebanon.

Judge Rhea and Gen. Walker had then
sc cond joint discussion on Monday. II
came off at Gate City, in Scott county.
The friends of Rhea telegraphed to a
number of Democratic papers that he had
won great victory and that Scott county
was full of enthusiasm for him. We did
not credit these reports, as we heard the
discussion at Lebanon, where Walker
gave Rhea as sound drubbing as we ever
heard any man receive on the stump. But
the Democrats claimed victory there,
and we thought they would do the same at
Gate City,with as little reason for doing so.
We have received the Bristol News of
the 18th inst, giving full account of the
discussion at Gate City, and from the con-
densed reports of the speeches of the rival
candidates we are satisfied that the dis
cussion was about repetition of the one
at Lebanon. The News, in speaking OF
Rhea's opening speech says:
"Upon the whole his speech was very
weak indeed and was SO regarded by
many Democrats, the applause he received
was not general but confined to few
gathered about the speakers stand. Judge
Rhea in all fairness to him did not come
up to the expectations of friends or ene-
mics, nor what he could have done"
The account also clearly shows that Gen.
Walker made strong speech and one that
met Nth hearty applause from the Re-
publicans.
We have received letter from a prom
ineRt Republican who was present and
heard the discussion. In that letter he
writes: "I was at Gate City Monday ,and
the General had the crowd and the best
of the discussion, no matter what the
Democrats say. I only wish we could
have one day just like the Gste City one
at each county in the district. This shows
what the Republicans think oft"
MIR. w. F. White, of this place, was at
Gate City and heard the discussion. He
says the crowd was about evenly divided
and that General Walker had decidedly
the best of the tilt The Bristol News, in
closing its account Of the discussion, says;
"The Republicans left the court house
with hearts full of Joy and the satisfaction
of having won glorious victory. The day
was theirs. They had large majority OF
the crowd, and everybody knew it. No
Misrepresentation will ever rubit out. The
of November will confirm this report
SeotN county will be in the Republican
column $50 strong"
OF course the people can expect nothing
but exaggerated reports from the Demo
cratic correspondents. They always give
them.

THE INSURGENTS AIM.

The correspondent being unable to
answer this question. Aguinaldo, cen
tinued:
''We have been fighting for independ-
ence for a long time. The natives who
profess to favor annexation are insincere.
1t is merely ruse to ascertain American
views"
Asked if the Filipinos would object to
the retention of Manila, Aguinaldo de-
clined to answer.
''Would the Filipinos object to Ameri'
cans retaining coaling station, if recog-
nizing the independence Of the islands or
establishing temporary protectorate
over them ?''
Aguinaldo again refused to answer.
Pending the conclusion of the assembly,
Aguinaldo said he was confident there
would be no trouble between America and
the Filipinos.
The insurgent leader denied having re-
ceived request from General Otis and
Rear Admiral Dewey to withdraw his
troops to prescribed distance from Ma
Mia and Cavite, and he declined to discuss
the effect of such a request. Aguinaldo
further asserted that he had never con-
ferred with the American authorities since
the capitulation of Manila. and that he
had never had the insurgents to search or
disarm Americans crossing the lines.

A THRRATENIG INCIDENT.

The correspondent closely questioned
him about last Saturdays incident, when
the Pennsylvania troops proceeded to es-
tablish new outpost. The Filipinos OBJ
iected, and nearly precipitated hoStilities,
ordering the Americans to withdraw in
twenty minutes. They issued ammuni-
ton and intercepted the Americans rein
forcements. Finally, General Hale order
ed all the Pennsylvanians to advance, and
the rebels withdrew. The local governor
has explained that the incident was COM
plete mistake and has repudiated his sub
ordinate's action. Aguinaldo declared to
this correspondent that the Filipino who
caused the trouble merely pretended to be
an officer, and is entirely unconnected
with the insurgent army.
Aguinaldo complained that the Span
iards were disseminating false reports for
the purpose of fomenting antagonsim be-
tween the Filipinos and the Americans.
The whole interview conveyed the i'm
preston that Aguinaldo desires absolute
independence, regards the mission Of the
Americans as accomplished, and expects
their withdrawal, 'tjust as the French,
with Lafayette, withdrew after helping the
Americana in the war of independence, a
war of humanity"
Just now Aguinaldo maintains the role
of extreme friendship.

DEWEY'S SERIOUS VIEW.
Said to Regard the Situation In the
Philippines as Critical and to Have
Requested an Additional BattIeshlp
or Cruiser-lnsurgent Leader Pro-
fesses Great Friendship at Present
Pretends to Consider the Early
Withdrawal of Americans Logical
Step.

Manila, September 12.-Rear Admiral
Dewey says he considers the situation
critical. 1t is understood he has asked for
an additional cruiser and battleship.
The Spaniards assert that Germany will
take coaling station here and that Spain
will retain the remainder of the islands.
The last Spanish garrissons at Ilocos and
Laguna have surrendered, and the whole
island of Luzon is in the hands of the in
surgents except Manila and Cavite.
Aguinaldo went to Lelollos on Friday.
He has announced his intention of con-
vening an assembly of Filipinos on Sep
tember Is, in order to decide upon the
policy to be adopted by the insurgents.
The correspondent here of the Asso-
ciated Press has had an interview with
Aguinaldo, in which he said there were
sixty-seven thousand insurgents armed
with rifles. He added he could raise one
hundred thousand men. Indeed, the in
surgent leader pointed out the whole pop
ulation of the Philippine Islands WAS
willing to fight for their independence.
Continuing, Aguinaldo said lie had 5000
military prisoners, including five thousand
in the vicinity of Manila, beside civil
prisoners.
Later, Aguinaldo aaid the provisional
government "was now operating twenty
eight provinces" He asserted that on
August End they elected the delegates in
numbers proportionate to the population.
As to the Americans, Aguinaldo remarked
that he considered them as brothers, and
that "the two sovereign republics were
allied against common enemy"
When questioned as to whether the
future Filipino policy would be absolute
Aguinaldo excused himself
from replying, and asked what America
intends to do.
