AUGUSTIN ON SPANISH SOIL.
A POsT-BELLUM TALK ON ANTE
BELLUM CONDITIONS.

He Knew the Situation In the Philip
pines Was Grave Before He Left
Spain-AdmirnI MOnteJO's Fleet
"sOme Old Wooden ships" That
Came to Manila Practically Pur-
sued by Dewey"-Spain's batteries
on False Plates and Useless After
the First shots Were FIred-spain
to Maintain Her Rights in the PhiI-
ippineS with Great Energy.
Madrid, Sept. 22.-Gen. Augustin, the
former captain general of the Philippine
Islands who has just arrived at vitora,
Spain. from Manila, in an interview, Is
quoted as discussing the Philippine ques-
ton in an interesting manner He Is all
legged to have said:
Before l left Spain I knew the situa-
ton in the Philippine Islands was grave,
Senior Moret the minister of the colonies.
In the last cabinet of Senior sagasta, re-
marked to me that If war with the United
States broke out, there would be a terri
bic state of things"
Continuing, Gen Augustin described Ad-
miral Montejo's fleet as some old wooden
ships and said they came to Manila
practically pursued by Dewey"
lie then said: "Our batteries fired al
the Americans, but our guns were mounts
ed on false plates, and after the first shots
they became useless At daybreak we
were in the power OF the Americans, and
an hour afterward the Spanish fleet had
ceased to exist.
Dewey summoned me to surrender. I
refused and he threatened to raze the
town replied: 'Raze It. but 50 long as
l live, the Sapnish flag will float on tho
ruins of Manila
Then began the terrible time of the
Siege and the anguish of the blockade.
Famine stared us in the face In the
meantime hostllitles were conducted
throughout the provinces. but, save in
isolated cases, humanely
Dewey repeated his summons 10 sur
render and l again refused. Dewey then
bombarded the town and Manila surren-
dered
But considering my presence no longer
necessary, I asked the government for
permission 70 so home as my position had
become by no means easy. l think 1 have
done my duty as a soldier and Span
lard"
The ministerial newspapers protest
against the supposition that the United
states VIII keep the Philippine Islands,
| They maintain that Spains rights TO the
| Islands are incontestlble, and that she is
resolved to defend her rights with tho
greatest energy.
The government papers also contend that
the terms OF the peace protocol confirm
Spain's right to the island of Luzon and
the rest Of the Philippines. and they de-
clare that If the United States bases its
claims on humanity and civilization. Spain
viii prove that there is no higher civlllza-
ton In any of the Aslatic colonies than
In the Spanish colonies In Asia.
The rumor that the Rothschilds are to
! lend Spain a large sum of money when
| tho treaty of peace is signed is denied
here. Oflcials of the Spanish government
claim that the Bank of Spain is able to
supply the immediate demands of the gov-
ernment.

PRESIDENT soUCHoN's NOTICE.
His Interpretation of the Atlanta
Meetings. Regulations.

New Orleans, Sept. 22.-The educational
campaign of the Louisiana authorities has
resulted in good and the parishes of st.
Bernard, st. Tammany, Plaquemines, JEFF
ferson and st. Charles have asked and
been granted uninterrupted and open com
munication with New Orleans, even at the
penalty of being quarantined by the rest
of the state.
The following important quarantine no
tee was issued tonight: I'm view of che
present small infection in the city of New
Orleans, which is known to be confined
to residences far from the business CEN
ters. I have decided on the following in
terpretation of the Atlanta regulations gov
erning freight shipments from New Or
leans to all points in Louisiana:
The phrase infected locality refers to
places of business in the residence por-
ton of the city. The wholesale CONNER
cIal houses are not in an infected locality,
and all articles packed and shipped from
those houses Except goods manufactured
and handled in this city in scattered prem
ises), may be certified to and accepted for
shipment from localities that are contig-
uous to the residence portion of the city,
or from houses, parts of which are oc-
cupied as dwellings, the goods must first
be disinfected before they can be accept
ed for shipment. E. Souchon, M. D.,
president Louisiana State Board of
Health"
II give my hearty Endorsement to the
opinion thai shipments of goods from the
wholesale districts of New Orleans Will
not under existing conditions convey in
fecton TO those receiving them. AS both
Alabama and Florida have no restrictions
on any freight from New Orleans, save
household goods and personal effects, the
above is evidently likewise the opinion
OF the very efficient health officers Of
those states.
II, therefore, instruct all inspectors of
the United States marine hospital SER
vice serving under my direction to class
freight for Louisiana points as indicated
IN the above order of the Louisiana State
board of Health. Fl. r. Carter

Jackson Miss, Sept. .22.-The situation
IN the little college town of Oxford is
growing serious, and 1t is feared that the
board will be unable to check the disease
before it spreads throughout the village.
Dr. Haralson, the health officer in charge
sent the following report tonight: zone
new case and focus, two deaths to-day;
total, ten cases and three deaths; will
try to depopulate the town"
A large number of people left Oxford
when the infection was reported at Tay-
lors Special trains will be provided for
others who desire TO leave.
No new cases of yellow fever have ap-
peared in Jackson since the single case
reported this morning.
Dr. Birchett sends the following report:
give new cases at Orwood during the
past four days. One new case at Tay-
lors, three dangerously ILL.,
The board of health has modified the
quarantine against New Orleans so as TO
admit freight articles in classes two and
three, this means the admission of all ar
ticlos except bedding, clothing, household
furniture, etc, which are not admitted un-
der any circumstances during the epidemic
The board has passed an order, the in
teniion of which is to prevent local quar-
antines established by small towns from
interfering with railroad traffic and COM
mon carrier service. The order practically
nullifes ali unlawful and unwarranted in
terGerence with train service. General COM
plants from the railroads operating in
the northern part of the state caused the
action.
The board has established a quarantine
against the parishes of Terrebonne and
ST. Bernard in the state of Louisiana.
In regard to the future policy of the
state board of health towards New Or
leans Secretary Hunter made the follow
ing statement TO the Associated Press to-
night: 'If yellow fever has existed in
New Orleans for several weeks without
this board being notified of the fact
think it viii be necessary to establish
quarantine against New Orleans next
year commencing on the first day of May"

ceived at the White House.
Washington, Sept. 22.-Col. william j.
Bryan, Third Nebraska Volunteers, was
at the war department to-day, and occa-
stoned as much interest among the en-
ployes as a returned Santiago hero.
Col. Bryan was accompanied by Gov.
Holcomb and Representative Stark of Ne
bFaska. They went first to the adjutant
generals office, where Col Bryan regis
tered. In Gen. Corbins Office he shook
hands with the general and introduced the
gentlemen accompanying him. The cah
was formal and brief. The party was
then introduced to Acting Secretary Meik-
lejohn, but remained there only a few min
utes returning to the adjutant generals
office. Gen. Corbin inquired as to the
condition of the camp at Jacksonville, and
asked if the soldiers wanted to come home.
Col. Bryan said that he had not made a
poll, but his judgment as to their senti-
ment was that they did wish to be mus
tered out. Col. Bryan went from the adj
jutant generals office to army headquar-
tcrs and called on Gen. Miles.
Neither to the acting secretary of war
nor TO the adjutant general did Col. Bryan
or Gov Holcomb make any request as to
mastering out the Third Nebraska Regi-
ment. or allude to the desires of Col. Bryan
In reference to the subject.
After leaving the war department, Col
Bryan and his party went to the White
House, where they We're Immediately ush-
cred into the Presidents room. The party
were cordially received by President Nc
rf,Ia nd In,
him for more than an hour. They did
not prefer a request for the mastering out
OF the regiment as a whole but only for
the discharge Of such of it's members as
are disabled by disease or such as have
peculiar calls upon them. They repre-
sented that there were about 20 per cent
Of the members Of the regiment IN and
they urged that these should be relieved
and sent to their homes, where they
agreed that in all probability most Of them
would speedily recover, because of the
difference in the climate Of Nebraska and
that Of Florida.
The President gave careful attention to
all that was said and talked sympatheti-
cally with his callers concerning the con-
dition of these men, but he made no posi-
tive promise as to the course he would
pursue in the matter.
After the interview with the President
the three Nebraskans returned to the war
department
Mr.. Bryan was dressed in the fun uni
form of colonel and beyond the fact
that his complexion testified to his ex-
posure TO the Southern SUM- he looked very
much as he did in the campaign days
of SO.
Col. Bryan said tonight that he would
not leave for Jacksonville unlH tomorrow
evening Il is understood that he has con-
cluded the business with the war depart
nent, which brought him 70 Washington
He will devote tomorrow In conferences
with some OF his political friends.

Detective Jackson Employed tC
Hunt Up whisky SELLERS.


Columbus. Ca, Sept. 22.-Detectlve
Charles Jackson of this city, returned sud
denly from Talbot county. jackson was
employed by The City Council of Talbot
ton TO work UP cases of selling liquor,
Talbot being a dry county.
He went to Talbotton in disguise and
became one of the boys, securing evil
dence which resulted in finding number
of indictments against wen-known citl-
zeEa. &.
Jackson went over to Talbotton as a
witness in these cases. Two of the parties
were tried, and while the state claims that
the evidence was more than sufficient 10
convict, the jury found them not guilty.
In the meantime indignation grew
among the boys and rumor was clrcu-
lated that they meant to harm Jackson.
1t seems Jackson goa wind of the Tumors.
and quietly slipped down to the depot to
take the trair for home.
j. w. Boswell and j. d. Hail. two Of
the parties indicted, followed Jackson TO
the train and cursed him vigorously.
Jackson says both men We're armed with
pistols, which they held in their hands.
while abusing him. He says Hall at
tempted 10 strike him, but Boswell in
terfered. His own pistol was in his breast
pocket, and, considering discretion the
better part Of valor, he got out of the
car and left town hurriedly Several
miles from Talbotton he tagged a train
and came home. Hall and Boswell saw
they were not armed, and that they mere
ly meant to slap Jackson's face and let
him know what they thought of him.
There is fast growing a big sensation in

GEN. ALGER AT CHICKAMAUGA.
SECRETARY AND GEN. STERNBERG
INSPECT THE HOSPITALS THERE.

Secretary AIger, in an Early Morn

Trouble Has Been in the Lack of
Appreciation by the People of the
Work of the War Department-In-
Competent Officers Must Account
Are Any Now In the Service They
Will BE SummRriIy Dismissed ana
Competent Men Installed.
Chattanooga, Tenn. Sept. 2.-Secretary
Alger, who arrived last night, was out
early to-day About o'clock the Secre-
tary and Surgeon General Siernberg, ac-
companied by Brig. Gen. Boynton left for
Chickamauga Park, where they spent the
day in a critical inspection of the hos
pitfalls over which there has been so much
controversy.
Before leaving Chattanooga, Secretary
Alger said TO a reporter: THE press has
been disposed to eXaggerate the condition
of some of the camps, and things have
been charged against the war depart
ment which were untrue and unwar-
ranted. I want the facts and all the facts
to come out, and have nothing to withhold
from the public
The great trouble has been that the
people have not appreciated the immense
problem of forming an army of 250, 900
volunteers without notice, and without the
necessary equipment The Spanish war
came upon us almost like a bolt from a
clear sky, and it found every branch of
the war department unprepared for the
task of equipping and handling such a
vast number of unframed men.
For time there was difficulty in fur
nishing supplies and equipment for the
troops, but that was to be expected. The
department had only a limited supply of
tents, and IL had practically no wagons
and ambulances to start with. There
were thousand and one details to look
after, and fairly disposed public will
understand the Disadvantages under which
the war department worked for many
weeks. AS fast as possible equipment and
supplies were sent to the several camps,
and if there has been lack of medicines
and neeessaries of life, the fault lies with
the commanding officers of the camps
There may have been some incompe-
tent officers, generals and colonels in
charge of some of the camps, and if such
is found to be the case they will be held
strictly to account for their misdeeds.
"If there are any commanding officers
who are now incompetent, or who fail
to put their camps in frst-class condition
and keep them that way, propose they
shall be replaced by men who are COM
petent and who will see that perfect SAN
itary conditions are established and main-
tained

Shanghai, Sept. PA local rumor is cur
rent here to the effect that the Emperor of
China is dead.
No details are obtainable, but It is said
the gates of Pekin are closed.
Pekin, Sept. 22-An imperial edict Just
issued definitely announces that the EN-
peror of China has resigned his power TO
the Empress (dowager empress), who has
ordered the ministers to deliver to her in
future their official reports.
1t is difficult to obtain reliable informa-
ton at the palace in regard to the pro-
ceeding, but the recent reformatory edicts
PippdbiS tduSSu the CuduBG w me the
Emperor was subservient and mere

The effect of the change must be great.
In all probability Ii Hung Chang win be
reinstated in power and Russian influence
win increase. The hopes of reform so ar
IDENTIFY cherished by the intelligent factions
of the Chinese are now impossible of ful-
hilment.
The suddenness of the coup is said TO be
due to the desire of the Dowager Empress
to prevent the mission of the Marquis Ito
from being successful. The Japanese
statesman recently came to Pekin with
the object of trying to bring about an al
lance. offensive and defensive between
Japan and China.
The new order of things win undoubtedly
prejudice British interests in China.
1t is reported to-day that the next edict
win give the full reasons for the change.
The wording of the present edict is not yet
obtainable, but 1t is in effect that the EN-
peror requested the Dowager Empress to
assume power, this being the third time
the request has been made.
The Marquis Ito, in an interview before
the edlct was issued, said the Emperor re-
ceived him yesterday in the most cordial
manner and said he hoped to have the ad-
vantage of the advice of the Marquis i'm the
reforms which his majesty intended to un-
dcrtake.
The Marquis, even then, feared that the
inaction and conservatism of the Chinese
officials would nullify The reforms, al
though he believed the Emperor was act
ing in good faith.
