IN THE SPANISH SENATE.
Former Captain General of the Philippines
Declares "the American Rag Shall
Never Float Over Manila"

Madrid, May 2S.-Tn the senate yes
terday Marshal Primo de Rivera, for
mer captain general of the Philippines,
defended his administration of the col
ony. lie said he could not believe his
ears when he was told of the disaster
at Cavite, adding: THAT rag called the
American flag shall never float over
the walls of Manila. The Philippines"
he continued, had not had adequate
means of defense He had appealed
to the government to supply them, but
the government answered that the
pope had intervened and there was nc
fear of a rupture. The naval commit
tee at Manila examined into the posi-
ton carefully and reached the conclu-
sion that it was quite impossible to Of
fer battle to the American squadron.
"The Yankees are deceiving them
selves Marshal de Rivera declared
"as to the situation at the Philippines
1t is absolutely impossible that they
should become masters of the islands,
for the natives, to an immense ma
jority, are determined to defend the
territory to the last and to maintain
Spanish sovereignty"
Captain Aunou, minister of marine,
said it was inOppOrtune to discuss the
war at present. He had neither ap-
proval nor Gisapproval to express of
Marshal de Rivera's administration,
but he considered it necessary to exer-
else a certain reserve in the interest of
the country.
In the chamber of deputies Senor
Romero Giron, the minister of the col
onies, replying to questions respecting
the authorization given the governor
of the Philippines to concede adminis-
trative reforms, said Captain General
August had been authorized to act in
the manner he deemed most desirable
to draw the natives TO the Spanish side.

The friends of Mr. NJ. II. Master, of Shcn-
andoah, are laying strong claims for his nomi-
nation for County Controller and there is
no doubt from political point of view, Mr.
Master is entitled to the nomination without Il
contest. He was unanimously nominated
three years ago, and made very canditabc
fight against great odds The legality of the
law creating the office was then being CON
sidercd by the Supreme Court which made it
anything but pleasant for him to enter into
an extensive contest, and his opponent, Mr.
Severn, having been elected by an over
whelming majority over his previous Demo
cratic opponent, and then being ousted out Of
office by reason of the ilcgality Of the office,
created sympathy for him, and yet, with all
these odds against him, Mr.. Master came
within few hundred votes of being elected,
thus undoubtedly proving his popularity, but
he took his defeat like man, and without
murmur or lukewarmness helped to wage the
battles for the Democracy since, and now as
he has patiently waited his turn his many
friends have no doubt that the Democratic
party will follow her honorable customs, and
give Mr.. Master the nomination same as
others get, and give him fair chance to con
test at the coming FAN election for the office
which is now fully established, and for
which he made many sacrifces.-6hronicle.

SUDDEN DEATH.
4. II. Roads, Wen-Known Citizen, Sue
cunbs TO Heart Disease

Augustus II Roads, an old and well-known
citizen of this town, expired suddenly at his
home on North West street last night The
death was due to paralysis of the heart and
was so unexpected that it was as shocking to
the immediate members of the family as to
those outside.
Mr.. Roads attended meeting of Watkin
Waters Post, No. 146 c. A r, last night
and with his comrades discussed the final ar
rangements for the Memorial Day ceremonies
He was apparently in his usual good health
and made no complaint. At about o'clock
he retired for the night at his homo and
about am hour later was awakened from his
slumber by the attack which resulted in his
death. DIR. j. S. Kistlcr was summoned and
he prescribed for the patient with apparently
such good effect that the physician felt iusti-
ged in retiring. AT l1:40 o'clock the attack
suddenly increased in effect and the patient
succumbed.
Mr.. Roads had been resident of this town
for 27 years. Some time ago he was quite
prominent in public affairs of the town, and
for ten consecutive years he served on the
paid police force. He was chief of the force
most of that time. For the past ten wears
however, he had led a comparatively retired
life, acting as collector for several real estate
owners; but whenever the Prohibition party
had ticket in the field he would devote con-
siderable time to the distribution of its cir.
culars and other work to advance its inter
ests
The deceased was 81 years old and is sur
yived by his wife, Catharine, son, Rev
Charles Roads, of Philadelphia, and a
daughter, Mrs. Morris c. Wurn, of town.
Arrangements have been made to have the
funeral take place on Tuesday. The services
will be held at 1870 p. m. at the family resi-
dence, No. Ill North West street. The
funeral will proceed on the 2:O2 Pennsyl-
vania train for Hamburg, the birthplace of
the deceased, where intermen. will be made.

In ghrlands for Memorial day.
The committee having in charge the obser-
vance Of Memorial Dayapponted by Watkn
Waters Post G.. A. r., have completed the
arrangements, and should the weather prove
favorable the various societies will be largely
represented. The number of societies that
have responded this year exceeds that for
many years.
The lapse of another year has decimated
the ranks of those who stood shoulder to
shoulder with the martyrs Of war, but who
were spared to the nation to help cement the
peace they won, and there will be vacant
places to evoke fresh tears when the survivors
gather about the sacred mounds ON Monday
in the cities of the day. The hands that bore
rifles to victory have been aging apace and
as they are stretched out to lay on the tcmbs
of their dead comrades the floral tribute of
undying remembrance they will tremble with
the burden of years as they formerly trem-
bled with the burden of fresh sorrow.
The valiant old war times which stirred
the hearts Of the old soldiers has been brought
fresh to their memory by the scenes being
enacted daily on the waters, in the conflict
with Spain During the ceremonies ON
Monday let us not forget the brave sailors of
the ill-iated Maine, many of whom met Il
watery grave.
The line of parade on Monday will form at
900 a. m. sharp, on East Oak street, and will
march over the principal streets of the town,
and then proceed to the cemetery. b. G.
