Letter from Manila Expedition.

Charles H. Egerton has received a letter
from Harry White, commonly known in this
town as Whitley" who enlisted here at
Captain Blacks Office for the regular army
service, and was sent to the Preside for
service in the second expedition against Ma
Mia. In his letter to Egerton Whitley"
gives an account of his adventures after
leaving Indianapolis.
I'VE were received" says he, "by the
ladies of the Red Cross Society We were
given dinner by them. and had large bou-
quets pinned on our coats, and rode on the
street cars to the camp free They don't
charge anybody who wears a uniform of
the army to ride on the cars in this town.
We were assigned to Battery G, Third Reg
iment, Heavy Artillery. We were given eV-
erything right away, and were Vaccinated.
We leave in the morning dune 20 on the
Saturday or Sunday, but not later than Sun
day. Saw Essman (Harry Essman, of this
city,, and he asked about all of you. He
does not leave yet There are only two
put in g. They say were lucky to get
away so soon. He (Essman) told us 10 ask
leave and go down town and sell our
clothes, which we did. l got 80 cents for
mine good suit of all-wool clothes), and
Dugan got $3.50 for his hat and everything
else thrown in. You cannot answer
this. / guess. unless to the Philippines. and
/ don't suppose / would get your answer
there; so don't try. l will write you from
there-perhaps."
The letter closes with regards for the
friends 10 whom the communication was adj
dressed They are all sturdy lot of young
men, not much given to sentiment, but the
last words, Il don't suppose | would get
your answer there. so don't try" means a
great deal to those who applaud Whitley
for going on this expedition.

The InterminabIe Bundy Matter.

Governor Mount yesterday received a tel
egram from the War Department in which
IL was said be impossible for Captain
Bundy to reach here for two weeks, at least.
He has been notified by the adjutant general
of his selection as major in the Indiana reg
iment now in ca mp. but as yet has sent no
message to signify his acceptance of the
appointment. The message from the adju-
tant general intimates that two weeks will
be the shortest possible time in which Capt
Bundy can be expected here, leaving the
vague impression of the necessity for
much longer time of waiting. In view of
this state of affairs. the Governor has de-
cided to again take the matter up with
Judge Bundy of New Castle. who is acting
for his brother, Captain Bundy, and ascer-

An Old Bulldog.

The work OF tearing down the old
Henderson house was begun Wednes-
day, and Mr.. Alligood hopes to have it
down and out Of the way soon enough
for the Council store to be pat where
the old building now stands.
The old Henderson house ia pro badly
one Of the oldest buildings in tho state.
Long before the war the owners had
the frame made in Baltimore, Md,
and shipped by "a schooner to New
port
In that town It stood until after
tho war, and has several bullet
holes in it now made by Yankee buk
let's.
After the war il was taken down and
brought to Crawfordville, where IL has
stood tho storms for over twenty
years, and still il looks as II it might
stand as many more, but for the past
few years it has been occupied only by
goats and its useful days as house are
long sincepast
The tmbers will now be used by Mr..
Alligood for fence building and other
purposes.

Little Child Burned,

Last Saturday morning, while stand
ing by the kitchen fire, the clothing OF
little Florrie Andrews, the little eight
year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W 0
Andrews, caught on fire and was burned
of of her before the flames could b. ex-
tingushed,
The little one would probably have
been burned TO death had il not been
for her presence OF mind. Instead of
getting excited and running of, as cv-
en- older ones often do, she ran out
doors, and throwing hersrlt on the
ground, rolled over and over in the wet
sand, thus smothering tho flames until
her father could come and put them
out. AS it was she was painfully
burned about the body and lower
limbs,
At last accounts the little one was
resting easy,

Lack Of Home Enterprise.

Mr.. Thomas II, Hall, pro-
prietor of the famous Pan
acea Springs Hotel property,
was in town last week, set
ting up his taxes and was
heard to remark that he
would not take twenty thou
sand dollars cash for this
property today.
This was no exaggera-
tion atall, but a pure matter
of fact statement, and it re-
calls the fact that Mr.. Hall
bought this property less
than twelve month sage for
much less than one fourth
of that sum.
Of course he has added
many improvement is, and
now he is reapi ing a.rich ben
eft from his expenditures.
The mineral waters from
these springs have become
famous for their curative
powers, all over the United
States, and all by a little
cash spent in judicious adj
vertising.
But the astonishing thing
is, that these springs were
not utilized years ago.
They have always been
right where they are now,
and possessed the same pow
ers one hundred years ago
that they do to-day, and were
simply waiting, as it were,
for some one to come along
with energy and foresight
enough to develope them
and make a fortune.
Now the question arises,
why did not some Wakullian,
who has lived in a few miles
of these wonderful waters
all of his life, see this chance
whereby he might invest d
few hundred of his dollars
in property that in a few
years would be worth as
many thousand?
Well, it is likely that
some of our citizens did see
and recognize the 6tness Of
this place for a tourist re.
sort, but the enterprise was
lacking, and in this case, as
in many others, the fortune
was left untouched until a
Northern capitalist came
along and scooped it in.

DONS IN "A NERVOUS MOOD.
Clutch Eagerly ut Every Hint of an
Impending Alliance.


London, March IA dispatch to The
Times fresn Havana says that the Maine
Court of Inquiry has concluded it's re-
port, which will be presented to the Gov
eminent at Washington within a fort
night Nothing is known regarding the
opinion of the members of the Court or
the result of their inquiry.
\ dispatch to The Times from Madrid
describes the Spaniards as being in a
nervous mood their condition being such
that the slightest hint of good viii from
a foreign power is clutched as an earn
est thought of an impending alliance.
They even heed such ridiculous inven-
tons as the story that Emperor William
declared at a private dinner that so long
as he was emperor that Yankees should
not possess Cuba.
The Times correspondent recalls that
there will be two Verdicts in the Maine
case. The verdict of the Spanish court
of inquiry is daily expected from Ha-
vana. He says:
THE Spanish government will find it
difficult to dissent from the judgment Of
its own commission should the reports
Of the two courts conflict"
In an editorial The Times says:
President Mckinley is confident of the
ability of the United States to cope with
any situation the publication of the
Maine report may create. He knows that
he does not need to anticipate the course
of events. file cannot more surely tran
quilize public opinion and secure fair play
for pacific endeavoTs than by convincing
the American people that he is prepared
for all contingencies.

MORE TALK OF AN ALLIANCE
An English Paper Sees One in Our

London, March 1.-THE Sheffield Tcle-
graph in an article in its issue of today,
says:
Are we not rather hasty in assuming
that the war preparations of the Ameri-
can Government are directed solely
against Spain. American statesmen are
very deep. They may be content to let
it appear that their ornaments. which
are really intended for much greater
occasion. are designed against Spain.
This much is certain. If the United
States Government is determined to
stand in line with England and Japan in
defending China, it would have to make
such preparations as are now afoot. Eng
land and Japan are ready, the United
States is not. Ii is fair assumption
that there i at least a tacit understand
ing between Great Britain and the United
States. This would account for Mr.. Cos
chru'S extraordinary reluctance to eXer-
else the right of presumption over the

The Terror of the Balkans.

fTom the st. James GIZtttc.l
The news Of the capture of the no.
torious brigand. Capt. Athanas the ter
ror of travellers in the Balkans. has caus-
cd q sigh of relief. His career is the most
remarkable in modern brigandage. He
had withdrawn himself from his profita-
BILE and romantic business some time be
fore his capture. and lived peacefully as
a citizen at kuslowitZ. His past did not
apparently affect his social position in
town which is somewhat remarkable for
its indifference as to the antecedents Of
its inhabitants for the one very good rea-
son that he had given up all the incon-
1enieut habits associated with his former
adventurous life. He tried even to make
himself popular among his neighbors. and
gave his ill-gotten gains-a veritable
Robin Hood-for the benefit Of the poor
and distressed. His generosity with other
peoples money has not been without ef-
feet. Mankind can sometimes be CRATE
full. and mankind in the shape of his
fellOw-citizeus have petitioned by tele-
graph for his release.
If he did not exactly make for himself
a name so deservedly famous as that of
Rosa Sander and other great men of
that ilk. his fame has passed far beyond
the boundaries of the mother country
The deed by which his memory will go
down to pOsterity is undoubtedly the
holding up of the international express
in 1891 from ConstantinOple TO Vienna at
the station of Tscherkesko close to the
Turkish capital The train was derailed
and the passengers, under the escort of
the Berlin tourist firm of Stangen, were
plundered and carried off to the noun
tains To be held as hostages until ran
som was paid. Among them was an Eng
lshman. With the exception of four Ger
mans and jew. all were subsequently
released. With a sharp eye to business,
the Jew, a rich Berlin merchant named
MoritZ Israel, was dispatched to Con-
stantinople, and brought the alarming
news that the hostages would be MUIR
dered unless ransom of 200 600 francs was
Forthcoming. The German government
intervened and finally paid the ransom
Later some of the brigands were cap
tured. But Athanas managed to evade
all pursuit.
