large town hall and market house. Ply
mouth drug store and several buildings
west Of the town hall were destroyed:
also several buildings on the opposite

several times. but has had an immunity
from fires for the past few years.
1t is estimated that the losses aggre-
gate $4,000. The cause Of the fire ha
not yet been aSccrtaincd.
The North Carolina Home Insurance
Company, of this city, held four policies

building in the town, was completely

RILEY AND THE OLD BAND.

This story of the poet, Riley, now pub
lished for the first time. originated in Il
little town where the poet was stopping
over night.
The leader of the village band. know
ing that Riley had written Il poem in
which he expressed Il preference for
hearing the old band play thought it
would be a good idea to serenade him
with "such tunes as 'Swanny River, and
John Anderson, My joe" and accord
ingly the band surrounded his house in
full force.
The poet was tired. and had been sleep
ing soundly for some time; but, being
awakened by the Earring discords with
out. and thinking the house was on fire,
he rushed to the windo and-encOunter-
ed "the old band"
He took in the situation, thanked them
in a neat speech for the midnight com
pliment. retired, and addressed himself
to sleep again.
But it was no use. The band kept Oh
playing.
Finally. there was a lull in the music,
and the poet congratulated himself that
the worst was over.
In this he was mistaken. The band was
only stopped for i breathing spell and 4
chew Of tobacco. In Il few minutes 1t
was .'making night hideous' again.
Riley stood it for two mortal hours.
Then. rendered desperate. he raised the
window sash and shouted:
Boys. l like to hear the old band play;
but. God bless YOU. | don't want to heal
it play all night long"
LESS go. boys" said the indignant
leader. That teller don't appreciate
music.

LONDON, Sept. 12.-The Hohg- Kong cor
respondent of the Daily Mail, telegraphing
Sunday, says: "Aguinaldo is becoming
frightened of the future. He is removing his
headquarters to Mololla, the present posi-
ton being too much at the mercy of the
Americans. Many of the best men in the
insurgent camp are deserting and going to
live in Manila They are disgusted with
Aguinaldo's attitude towards the Amer
leans, who have been most forbearing.
"a wonderful change has cSme over Ma
Mia. The careworn look formerly on ev-
erybody's face has disappeared Business
has been in full swing for week. The
American soldiers have flooded the banks
and are changing gold dollars into silver.
-Four miles outside of Manila, in the rebel
lines, crowds of natives hurry about with
the air of conquerors, some with rifles.
others with bayorets, scme with merely
bolas. The rebels are bitterly disappointed
at not being allowed to occupy the rich
Spaniards houses in Manila. Every native
passing the lines is searched and deprived
of his arms

government without a tinge of Spanish
methods. The masses of the revolutionists
on the other hand, are bitterly opposed to
any solution of the question which does no
promise untrammeled independence.
In the present exaltation of a fictitious
victory, believing themselves capable of
ruling the whole archipelago without ad-
vice or assistance from any one. they en-
tirely forget as is evident from the tone of
their official newspaper and from their
daily actions, that they owe to the Ameri-
cans the chief elements of success which
they now boast. This blind conceit is
racial defect. 1t is the prominent and con-
trolling weakness of their character. The
revolution was started by the lower classes,
who have until the present provided men
and money to prosecute the campaign. The
men are apparently inexhausti5le, but the
money is wanting. The upper classes have
not yet offered any notable contributions
to the revolutionary treasury. because they
are not convinced of the ultimate recovery
of their money.
'"The activity Of the insurgents in the
northern provinces and the totally ire
sponsible nature of their government seri-
ously threaten foreign commercial interests
there, which are very important One Eng
lish house alone has over a million dollars
worth of products awaiting shipment
Everybody is despondent concerning the
possible action of the proposed congress,
and the outcome of the present strained re-
lations between the Americans and the in
surgents. The situation is considered very

luggage had accompanied the suite. The
last words of the Empress were addressed
to the attendants on the steamer. Recover
ing consciousness for the moment, she feebly
asked what had happened
AS yet the authorities have found no con-
firmaton of the report that the murder was
part of an Anarchist conspiracy, but a
dozen persons with whom the assassin as
sociated have been arrested for examination
No strangers are allowed to approach the
coffin of the murdered Empress. The body
has been embalmed and is dressed in white
The doctors photographed the wound, but
the plate will be destroyed.
1t is understood that Emperor Francis
Joseph will not leave Austria, but will send
high court officials to take the body to Wen
ma. Flowers are arriving in profusion.
The assassin maintains his cynical de-
meanor and frankly congratulates himself
upon the success of his crime. He says
Il am an Anarchist, but 1 belong to no
committee. I acted on my own initiative
Let them do as they like with me. That is
my strength"
Midnight.-A file found late this evening
in the passage of a house on the Rue des
Alpes, has been identified by the assassin
as the weapon he used. His name, though
heretofore variously given and published
here as Laccheni, Lucchesi and Lucessi, is
now said to be Luigini. The italian records
show that Luigini was an illegitimate child
ard took his mothers name He has been
twice arrested as defaulter from military
service

MAY RETURN TO THEIR POSTS.
All Regulars VIII Probably soon
Leave Camn WikOff.

CAMP WIKOFF, Montauk Point, L. l.,
Sept. 1.-THE general belief in Camp Wikoff
to-day is that great changes will be seen
here before the present week is over. Re-
ports are circulating freely that General
Miles has assumed the active direction of
the affairs of the camp and that he intends
TO have all regular troops removed from
here as soon as possible and sent to regular
army posts. General Bates, who is now in
command of Camp Wikoff. admitted to-day
that new orders had been received from
WASHINGTON in regard to the disposition of
the soldiers here, and the general under
standing is that they will all be moved away
as rapidly as possible.
The fall OF ten degrees i'm the temperature
which was predicted by the signal service
came last night and before midnight the
whole camp was shivering. The cold wave
was accompanied by high wind and for
several hours during the night there seemed
to be some danger that many of the tents
would be blown down. but they withstood
the storm, which moderated towards morn
ing.
The first three trains that arrived to-day
brought a large number Of Sunday visitors
from New York. who spent several hours In
inspecting the camp.
The transport Saratoga arrived from San
tiago to-day with about sixty members of
the signal corps. in command of Lieut.. Col.
Frank Green. Half OF them were volunteers
from Maine. under Capt G. w Butler. and
the others were regulars, under Lieut. G. c.
Burnett. The Santiago also brought 80
negro laborers, who were sent to Santiago
several months ago to act as teamsters.
