INSTITUTE NOTES.

The Institute household and
faculty are enjoying the enlarged
outlook of work for the coming year.
Mr. Shoup, without releuquishing
his interest in the Institute, will de-
vote his time and energies chiefly to
the boys school. At one time, when
the mist of mediaevalism en-
shrOuded wOman's education, the
proximity of a boys school to girls
boarding school would have been
thought detrimental to the interests
ment, when girls and boys sit side
by side in our best colleges, such
notions are not only old fashioned,
but are insults to high-bred re-
strailt
One feature of the coming year at
the institute, intended especially for
the day pupils, will be weekly talk
in the museum to explain its curios.
A commonplace school or home,
like commonplace person, is stulti,
flying. But the full value of an in
tellectual environment, books, pic
lures, statuery, and the curios that
tell of the life and thought of differ
ent nations, can be realized by the
inexperienced only by the judiciOus
guidance of others.
At the request of some Of the
former pupils, Miss Bryant will form
u postgraduate class, to hold week
ly meeting to study the epic poem OF
great nations, beginning with the
great English epic, Paradise Lost"
This class will be open to all who
desire to join it.

GREAT FUNERAL PIE.
Awful Sights Witnessed at the Cremation

Awful Sights Witnessed at the Cremation
of Bodies at Santiago.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, August 49,
The bodies of the dead Spaniards
continue to be cremated. Over 700
have been burned 80 far. This after
noon seventy were to be burned.
Over two rails dozen bodies are
stretched, across them another
dozen, and then about thirty cOrpses
are stacked in an immense funeral
pile ten feet high. The pile Is then
saturated with Kerosene aud the
torch applied. A fall Of rain put out
the fire, causing the bodies to be-
only half burned.
Around the pile lay twenty-five
collins containg bodies in a state Of
decomposition Several naked bodies
were strewn upon the ground in d
C, ndition of putrefactiOn. AltOgeth-
er about seventy unburied ana un-
consumed bodies were there.
The stencil was terrible. This
happened at cemetery within the
city limits. The authorities and the
cemetery officials say it Is impos-
sible to get men to work at the ere
nation. Wages of a dollar a day
proves no inducement TO the natives
to work at this gruesom4 lot.
The partially consumed bodies
will be left on the earth until to-
morrow when dry weather may help
the work of cremation. These sew
enty bodies represent two days dead
from the Spanish camp. The danger
to the population from the stencil,
the presence of the buZzards, vul-
lures and flies are incalculabIe.

LAMBS FOR THE SLAUGHTER.

Governor and Commissioners.

Republicans Nominate Candidates fur
Governor aud Commissioners.
The Republican State Convention,
in session at Nashville Wednesday,
nominated James A. Fowler, a
young lawyer Of Anderson county,
as their candidate for Governor,
and the following as candidates for
Railroad Commissioners: James A.
Greer, Of Loudon r. A. Haggard, OF
Wayne, and lack Taylor, of Shelby.
The Republicans had some trouble
in fiuuiug candidate for Gov
ernor, as no one seemed willing to
suffer certain defeat at the hands OF
Democracy. Definite arrangements
had been made for Sam. w. Haw-
kins, of Huntingdon, to be nomina
ted, but things took turn, and the
Young man from Anderson was put
in his place.
The platform adopted deals large
" with States issues, setting forth
desirable reforms in State af-
airs, favoring constitutional am md
ments, and declaring for the repeal
of the present election laws. The re-
peal of the present Railroad Com
mission act Is also favored, with the
establishing Of "a non-partisan Rail
road Comm sion t. administer to
the public good, with justice to
both the railroads and the people.
Two planks of the platform read
as follows:
1--WE congratulate the country on
the prosperity which has now come,
due largely to the return of the Re-
publican party to power, the enact
lnent of the Dingley Bill and the
maintenance of the gold standard.
We favor the immediate construc-
ton, under strictly American con-
troll, of the Nicaragua canal.
I'VE believe in an extension OF
trade and commerce with foreign
countries. Believing that trade fol
lows the fl ", we declare in favor OF
the annexation of Porto Rico and
all the West India Islands, and that
if an independent government eau
not be established in Cuba 1t be ultt-
mately annexed by the free c,nsent
of the people Of the island, anu such
control OF the Philippines and other
islands as shall secure TO the United
States the trade and commerce OF
those islands and good government
of their people,"

THE FALL OF MANILA.
DULY Eight Americans Krled-Spanish
Loss Was Heavy.

DULY Eight Americans KilIed-Spanish
Loss Was Heavy.
Details of the capture of Manila
by the combined naval and land
forces under Admiral Dewey aud
Maj Gen. Merritt have been re-
ceived.
Our casualties were eight killed
and forty wounded. The Spanish
loss is estimated at 100 to 800 killed
and wounded.
The Americans captured 1000
prisoners, 900 being Spanish regu
lars 10000 Mauser rifles, 5000 Rem
ingtons, eighteen modern cannon
and many of obsolete pattern.
The city fell with very little fight
ing. The brunt of the attack was at
Malate, where the Spaniards ran up
the white flag after brief resist
ance. The formal terms of surrend
er were signed later and at O'Clock
the city was turned over to the
Americans. The Spanish flag was
hauled down and Lieut.. Brumby, Cf
the Olympia, ran up the stars and
stripes over the capital of the Philip
| pines.
The insurgents were not allowed
to enter the city, and were driven
out of part o. the American trenches,
of which they tried to take posses
sion.
1t now develops that Gen. August
did not leave Manila until after the
surrender, although it had been
given out that he left on Friday.
Immediately after the American flag
had been hoisted over Manila, 1.-The
German steamer kaiserin Augusta
sneaked QUE of the harbor, with
August aboard, and without stop
ping to extend the usual courtesy

Col. n n. Cox Seeking Important Data to
support Bill.
Congressman n. n. Cox, of the
seventh District, was in the city
yesterday and is hard at work try
ing to secure important evidence to
support bill he will present at the
next session of Congress. At the
surrender OF Johnston the terms of
surrender permitted all cavalrymen
to retain their horses, so as to be able
to help make a crop on the return to
their homes.
Under these terms many Tennes-
see cavalryman started home with
their horses. But at Sweetwater, an
officious Q Iartermaster seized the
horses and they were left to get
home as best they could. Col. Cox
hopes to get bill through cOmpen-
5ating these cavalrymen for the
horses thus taken, as they were per
sonal property under the terms of
the surrender.
The official records show these
facts, but do not show the names of
the men or the value of the horses
tdhou' II iui'"Oi" hOo w "Io uceli
to obtain some compensation for
these men, Col Cox desires any Off
Ger who knows the value of the
horses so impressed or who can give
him the name or names of officers
knO wing this fact to communicate
with him at Franklin as soon as
possible.
In inducing Congress to pass bill
providing for payment for the horses
so taken some correct statement
must be presented approXimating
