plicated question left by General Mer-
rift, his predecessor, with remarkable
energy and decision, and is rapidly es-
tablishing order in every department
where comparative chaos ruled before.
He has been fully occupied with mat
tiers more intimately concerning the
military government of Manila, and
only recently has he been able to study
exhaustively the insurgent question and
to satisfy himself regarding the equity
Of the inSurgent claims so as to solve
a problem practically unapproached
heretofore.
Aguinaldo has persistently demand
ed, in terms not too polite, various i'm
possible concessions for example, an
occupation of the Governor Generals
palace and other palaces; a written as
surance that the insurgents will be
permitted to occupy permanently their
military positions around Manila, and
protection for the insurgent vessels by
the American fleet, with many other
claims, including an innocent demand
for a share of the booty captured by
the Americans at Manila.
After a careful review Of the situa-
ton, General Otis arrived at the logi-
cal conclusion that the insurgents have
no right to occupy the suburbs of Ma
Mia, and that Aguinaldo's claims have
the support of neither equity nor rea-
son. He has, therefore, categOrically
refused to consider Aguinaldo's de-
mands and to-day sent him an ulti-
matum in terms plainly comprehensi-
BILE and authoritative. that he must
withdraw his troops from the suburbs
before tomorrow afternoon or suffer
the consequences of refusal.
The answer Will probably be that
Aeuinaldo himself is only too willing to
obey the order, but cannot explain to
his troops the reasons why they cannot
remain at Manila. This temporizing
excuse, although now stale from too
frequent use, conceals much truth 1t
is an undoubted fact that Aguinaldo
has but feeble hold on the organiza-
ton. His over is fast waning, and
the insurgents are threatened with dis
indignation into opposing factions un-
less some leaders are soon discovered
who are able to harmonic these con-
flicting personal interests.

BUCKNER, Mo-. Sept. u.-Charles
Hamilton, a prominent young man of
Buckner rode up behind Mary Charleton
and John Martin, young society people

and wounded both. The first bullet struck
Miss Charleton in the back, causing her
to fall to the bottom of the buggy. A
second bullet hit Martin in the shoulder
and caused him TO drop the reins. The
horse took fright and galloped off, Ham
ilton sending a few stray bullets after
it, The wounds received by Miss Charlie
ton and Martin were dressed at Buck
ner, where they arrived and reported the
affair early this morning. The condition
OF neither is considered serious.
During the day Hamilton was arrested
but was released by his uncle, who is con-
stable When the affair became known
much feeling was aroused and q posse

for the would-be murderer. No motive
for the assault is known. All concerned

JACKSON, Miss, Sept. 11.-No new

LEPROsY IS NOT HEREDITARY

From "Leprosy and the Hawaiian Annexa-
 tion," by B. Foster, M. D., In the North
 American Review for September.
 That leprosy is contagious disease is unanimously admitted by the best author ities; but the exact manner of it's con- tagion is certainly difficult to most inti- mate family relations with lepers and re- maining unaffected. And often but one member of the family will acquire the dis ease. On the other hand the history of the disease in different parts of the world shows that 1t never originates spontaneous ly but that it's origin can always be traced to human importation. There are also a very large number of recorded eases where leprosy has resulted from a single contact of an abraded surface with some lesion or secretion of an infected individual. These apparently contradictory facts must be ex- pained on the theory that some peculiar, inherent predisposition which exists only in a limited number of individuals is necessary for the development of the strange disease. There is no reason to believe that leprosy is an hereditary disease.

MORE MEROTFUL TO SHOOT MEN

From the Report of the Eminent Medical
 Scientist, pr. Cyrus Edson, August 30.
 It seems a horrible thing to say it, but nevertheless, viewed from the standpoint of a physician and a hygienist, it would seem more merciful to line the soldiers at Montauk Point up and shoot at them, or to subject them to the most grave danger that can be met with on the battlefield. than to give them such water to drink as these ponds from which they are being supplied contain.
 It is only question of a few days when the drinking of this water must lead to the development of one of the most deadly diseases known to man-typhoid fever Thus far there has not been time for the typhoid or other levers to develop to an alarming extent in the camp. These fever diseases require usually from nine to twen- ty-one days to make their appearances. In addition to this period of incubation we must allow the time which 1t will require to infect the wells from the poisonous de- posits in the cesspools and in the many dirty, stagnant pools with which the camp is dotted
 Taking into consideration these periods of time, it will probably be about Septem- Der 10 before cases of typhoid fever will develop in the camp which were caught there. The cases that have been received there caught their infection in the south. When 1t starts to strike down well and convalescent men at Camp Wikoff, how ever the results will be such that the na- ton will stand aghast.

Cotton Facts and Figures.

Mr. Hester's full report contains some very interesting facts and figures. Not the least interesting fact is contained in the statementthat although the crop of 9-9S statement that although the crop of 1S97-9S bales-an immense difference-yet the peo- pie of the south got from the former crop only $1 G72, 900 more than they did from the latter. In other words, they grew and sold 2242, ,03O extra bales at about 55 cents bale! The case has, it is true, other aspects. but an excessive crop often does entail addi- tional labor upon the south without cor responding benefits
 MT. Hester puts the consumption of north ern mills during the cotton year just ended at 1925, ,OOO bales; of the southern mills at 1,231, ,S41 bales. These are very gratifying figures; but it is difficult to make Mir Hes- ter's figures of cotton consumption agree with the figures of spindles In the south there are, all told, 4,052,244 spindes, includ- ing 25l O0O not yet in operation In the north there are 15,231, ,756 spindles. The south has only 2l per cent. of the spindles of the country, and yet it takes 40 per cent. of the mill consumption of the country. It is difficult to see through these figures, but they are MT. Hester's, and The Age-Herald has no figures or facts that will refute them.
 Alabama spun 1O1 162 bales in the last cotton year, a gain of 16,5S4 bales. But it is less than ten per cent of the states srop. This state is, however, the fourth state in the list of southern states. South Carolina spun S7S,154 bales; North Carolina, 322 s01 bales; Georgia, 25S,612 bales, and Alabama 1O1 ,162 bales. This state will show A handsome increase this year, but it will be much less than 1t should be. There should be a spinning mill in everyone of the sixty-six counties, each one to be no larger than home capital can pay for and conduct Small spinning mills are very profitable in the two Carolinas, and they would be equally profitable under good management, in this state.

The Peace Jubilee in Alabama.

The only peace jubilee in course of organ ization south of Baltimore and the Ohio river is the one to be held in this city; and it follows, therefore, that the one southern peace jubilee must be made big enough and broad enough to entertain the whole south ern country.
 And it is especially important that every part of Alabama should come to feel that it is an Alabama festival, and in no sense local affair. To give it state flavor and state cooperation, every part of the state should actively participate; and to that end Chairman Rountree should at once appoint a state jubilee committee, and every con siderable town in the state-every county seat at least-should be represented on that committee by men who will actively pre- sent the jubilee in every convenient and attractive way. Chairman Rountree and the executive committee are certainly au- thorized to appoint such committee, and the Age-Herald is confident that there is no better way of~reachng and interesting eV- cry portion of the state.
 Let every considerable town and center in the state be represented on such com mittee by enterprising and popular and well-known citizens, to whom all printed matter and all other information can be sent-men who will know what railroad rates to and from the jubilee will be; men, too, who will be able to supply all needful information as to stopping places in the city during the jubllee-patriotic men who will give over little time for the purpose of having a festival that all will remember through the coming years. The members of the state committee should be provided < with badges and tickets for all the chief events of the great festival for none of them will stay away from it when they rise to an appreciation of the times it will cele- brate, and of the manner in which the oc- casion will be celebrated
