ADDRESS.
With the swiftly lengthen-
ing days OF spring, heralding in
their fragrant breath the approach
of summer and vacation, Chautau-
qua sends out her annual greeting
and invitation. The record of six
seasons OF growth and progress
has been completed aud with the
coming Of July her gates will be
thrown open for her
SEVENTH ANNUAL SESSION.
To you, aid to every one to
whom she can bring pleasure
or profit, she sends the invitation
to come and be her guest.
If you would spend month of
your vacation in study; if you
hear the ablest orators of our day:
if, wearied with business cares,
you would rest ''far from the mad
dening crowd" and loll at ease on
wooded slopes or in shady glens;
If you would draw health and Wig
or from sparkling mineral waters
and the pure air Of pine clad hills;
If you would enjoy the pleasures
OF social intercourse with people OF !
culture and refinement, you need {
not direct your steps towards s
seacoast or mountain, for here you {
may have them all; and Chautau- {
qua bids you come. All these you ,
may do, and more: yet at a cost s
SO small as to place the opportu-
mites offered by the Chautauqua t
season within the reach of all. t
A Peabody Summer Norm al Z

Which forms a part of a high q

AGUlNALD0'S DEFEAT
iNSURGENT LEADER is OVER
THROWN BY HIS RIVALS.
Fearing Assassination, He Has Fled to an
Inaccessible Region Back OF Cavite-
Irreconciabies VIII Form
New Cabinet.

| Manila, Dec. 2s.-A steamer which
has arrived here from Samar repor Is
that the Tagal insurgents have been
In possession Of Kalbaon since Decem-
Der / l. Business there Is said TO be
entirely suspended aud all the Span
iards Of the vicinity have sought refuge
in the house Of man named Scott, an
American. The insurgents threatened
to attack the refugees, but refrained
from doing so because 1t was reported
that American soldiers were on their
way there.
One Spaniard, however, was shot and
another was pluckily rescued by Scott,
who rode fifteen miles and demanded
the mans release In the face of an
armed mob Of Tagais, who have been
footing the Visayas stores and houses,
the leaders of the insurgents being I'M
able to control them. All the efforts
made to induce the visayas to join the
revolution have been fruitess
The situation here, so far as the in
surgents are concerned, is serious. The
formation of a new cabinet has been
entrusted to Filipino named Madi,
a rampant irreconcilable of unknown
antecedents and bitter opponent OF
Aguinaldo, especially on the question
OF the Spanish prisoners. 1t is report
ed that Aguinaldo refuses to release
the prisoners, although the cabinet
decided to nccede to the request of
General Otis for their release.
1t is rumored that Aguinaldo has
fled to an inaccessible region back OF
Cavite, with a few followers, fearing
assassination. This report is denied,
but his sudden change OF base is not
explained.

Other injured men were carried away

Spokane, Wash, Dec. 2s.-There is
now scarcely a doubt that the charred
bodies found in the embers of burned

of Jack David and William Banks. and
that they were murdered by Archie

SENATOR MORRILL, DEAD.
Patriarch of the Senate Stricken by Pnen-
mOnIa.

Washington, Dec. 2s.-Hon. Justin
Morrill,, the senior United States SEN
ator from Vermont, died at 1870 this
morning, in the s0th year of his age,
after an illness of less than week.
The immediate cause of death was
pneumonia, which developed from an
attack of la grippe, contracted about
a week ago.
In the death of Senator Morrill,, the
senate lost its senior member in point
OF service, and its oldest in age. He
had served continuously in the senate
for more than thirty-one years, and
he was ss years Of age on the 14th of
April last. With the single exception
of Hon. Galusha Grow of the house of
representatives, he was the only man
in congress whose congressional career
began prior to the beginning of the
civil war, and he had the honor over
Mr.. Grow, in that his congressional
service had been continuous, covering,
in the senate and house mbined,
almost forty-four years.
1t has been his annual custom for
several years past to make one formal
address on some topic of live interest
to the senate, aud this has been listened
to with attention by his colleagues,
who have regarded the speeches as re-
markable, in view of the age of their
author. The last address was delivered
a week or more before the Christmas
holidays, the subject being the need
OF building for the United States
supreme courts and other courts. Its
dehverance showed few signs of less
ened vitality, and at its conclusion the
honor was done the senator of unan-
imous passage of the resolution on
which he spoke.
Senator Morrill, was born in Straf
lord, VT, April IA, 1910, and in early
life was merchant, later an agricul-
turist. He was elected to the house of
in the Thirty-fourth
congress and for four succeeding
erms. Then he was transferred to the
enate as Union Republican, taking
lis seat March 4, 1867. Since that
lime his service has been continuous.
le has taken an important part in
egislation, particularly in commercial
nd financial questions, his position as
hartman of the finance committee Civ

NJ ERRITT ON FILIPINos.
Says We should Give Them Our Blessing
and Let Them Go.

Chicago. Dec 27.-Major General
Merritt, retiring military governor OF
the Philippines, accompanied by his
bride, formerly Miss Laura Williams,
and his chief aide, Major Strother, has
arrived in this city from New York.
General and Mrs. Merritt will remain
at the residence of Norman Williams,
Mrs. Merritt's father, until after the
holidays, when they will return to
New York City, where the general will
resume his position as commander Of
the department of the east, which he
left to go to Manila. In regard to the
inhabitants of the Philippine islands,
General Merritt said:
THE best we can do is to give them
good military government, give them
what civilians are necessary to admin
lister the civil functions of government
and when they are ready to form a
government of their own, give them
our blessings and let them do So"
When asked what he thought of the
proposed increase in the standing army
to 100000 men, the general declared he
had always believed such an increase
was necessary.
1--WE need standing army Of at
least $4,000 men here in the United
States" he declared. NOW that we
have acquired these new territories, we
shall need few more. But, in my
belief, $4,000 men are ample and suffic-
lent for all possible emergencies in
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines
together. The rest are needed in the
United States for garrison duty. If a
larger force is wanted in the Philip
pines, it can easily be had from among
the natives

COMMISSIONERS PATRIOTIC.
EXPECT no Fabulous Fees For Negotiating
the Peace Treaty.

Canton, O., Dec. 27-Judge Day,
president of the late peace commission,
and Mrs. Day, reached their Canton
home in time to take Christmas dinner
with the family The judge is in ex-
cellent health and spirits and the trip
abroad has evidently been beneficial.
Judge Day, when asked as to his plans
for the future, said he expects to re-
main in Canton and resume the prac-
tice of law in the firm of which he was
a member before entering the cabinet
of President Mckinley. The work of
the commission ended when the treaty
was delivered to the president, and he
does not expect to visit Washington
again in connection with any duties
on that commission.
While he talked freely on many mat
tiers connected with his work in Paris,
he did not feel at liberty to give an in
terview in detail on the work of the
commission. He said the talk of $780,
900 compensation for the commission
ers, or any sum approaching that
amount, was ridiculous and prepos-
ferrous. The president fixed the COM
pensation of the commissioners, and
none of them, it is safe to say, accepted
the duties as speculation. None of
them has an idea of large fee: such
as would have been paid had they per-
formed the duties in the capacity of
regularly retained attorneys. There
is no actual precedent on which to base
an estimate, but the prediction is ven
tured that the compensation of the
commissioners will not reach $4,000
each and the reasonable expenses in
Cured on the trip and in Paris. These
expenses, however. will not include
those incurred for the wives and fami-
lies of the attaches of the commission,
because all such went on the journey
entirely independents of the commission
and were in no way charge upon the
official party.

thorlzes me to assert that he has asked

the naval combat off Santiago de Cuba
on the 3rd day of July, 1898. This

Are Robbing and Pillaging Estates in
Santiago Province.
Santiago de Cuba, Dec. 27.-Lieuten-
ant Colonel Henry Ray, who had re-
ported to General Wood, military gov
ernor of the department, that Colonel
Francisco Valiente, chief of gendar-
merle, had been arming the insurgents
and that several bands of robbers were
operating in the ighborhood of Guam
tanamo, has arrived here. He repeats
his charges against Colonel Valiente,
declaring that they are well founded.
Colonel Ray claims that this explains
the existence of the troubles with bands
of robbers who have infested the dis
tricts around Guantanamo. In one
case, Cuban major went so far as to
order the proprietors of sugar estate
not to grind. Colonel Bay sent COM
pany of United States troops to guard
the estate, whereupon the Cuban ma
jor took to the woods with band of
men, who have been ever since robbing
AID pillaging the estates nearby.
AS result of this condition of
things, Colonel Rays entire regiment.

tween the American soldiers and Gu
bans and Spaniards last night
A detail Of Company M, Tenth regu-
lar United States infantry, while quell-
ing a riot which broke out on Bombay
street, was fred upon by the rioters.
The regulars returned the fire, and
sent volley after volley into the crowd
of rioters as they fled out of the street.
Two Spanish sailors were wounded

Spanish soldier, marching with
his company to the wharf, attempted
to pull down Cuban flag and an
American flag over the door at 10s San
Lazaro street. This started the fight.
The Spaniards were fired on from the
housetops and windows. They re-
turned the fire, Kidding the front of
the buildings with bullets. The SOL
dier who attempted to take down the
flag fell on the steps of house, bleed
ing from wounds in the head and
shoulder. The Spanish soldiers with
drew, carrying their injured comrades.
Residents of San Lazaro say the
withdrawal of the Spaniards was due |
to the appearance of an American Off
Ger, who persuaded the Spaniards to
retire.
The town is practically in the hands
of the Americans. The Spaniards are
supposed to still hold possession of the
strip of ground between the Prado and
the port, but their soldiers have been
Withdrawn to within a few blocks of
the port.
Three companies of the Tenth regu-
lar infantry, who were hurried into

been encamped at the trocha only two
niles away, in anticipation of such an
