Camp Churchman, Albany, Ga, Dec

ing of US, says: The 1st territorial
regiment, Whenever it appears, always
makes a splendid showing, and is con-
sidered one Of the best regiments in the
volunteer service"
When Blue Springs was reached,
camp was pitched and dinner cooked.
Besides the blanket and poncho each
one of us carried half a shelter tent.
| The weight of our whole equipment, in
Guiding gun, was probably about %
| pounds. | wish you would send me Il
burro to pack it all. At o'clock in the
afternoon camp was broken and we
started for Camp Churchman, arriving
there at 4:07, making the seven miles
in two hours, just one hour less than
the ID Missouri. The boys were pretty
well tired out when camp was reached,
although the march was enjoyed. We
We're all to bed early that night. 1t is
rumOred about camp that We are to
make march to Clinton next Thurs

We are all very much in hopes, judg-
ing from rumors afloat, that it will not
be very long before we will be mustered
out of the service.

Madi, a Bitter Opponent to the Foolish
Rebel Chief, Empowered with the Task
of Forming New Filipino
Cabinet.

Manila, Dec. 27.-A steamer from Sa-
mar reports that the Tagal insurgents
have been in possession of Kalbaon
since December II. Business is entirely
suspended and all Spaniards have
refuge in the house of an American
named Scott. One Spaniard was shot
and another was pluckily rescued by
Scott, who rode Is miles and demarded
the mans release in the face of an arm
ed mob of Tagals, who had been lootng
the Visayas stores and houses, the
leaders of the insurgents being unable
to control them. All efforts to induce
the Visayas to join the revolution had
been fruitless. The situation here is
serious. The formation of a new cab
met has been intrusted to Filipino
named Madi, who is bitter opponent
of Aguinaldo, especially on the question
of Spanish prisoners.
FEARS ASSASSINATION.
1t is reported that Agunaldo has re-
fused to release the Spanish prisoners
held by him without the Philippine
cabinet decides to accede to the re-
quest of General Otis for their release
1t is rumored that Aguinaldo fled to an
inaccessible region back of Cavite with
a few followers, fearing assassination
This report was denied, but his sudden
change of base is not explained. An
expedition, commanded by General
Miller, left for Iloilo, the capital of the
island of Panay. 1t consisted of the 18th
infantry, Iowa battalion, 9Th artillery,
and a detachment of the signal corps.
The troops were shipped on the trans
ports Arizona, Newport and Pennsylva-
mia and conveyed by the United States
cruisers Baltimore and Callao.

The Cabinet In Session.

The cabinet was in session two
hours Friday and devoted a large
share of the time to matters which
will come before the peace commits
sion.
Another matter before the cabinet
was the Cuban and Porto Rican tar
ifs. 1t was intended that the rates
promulgated some days ago should be
subject to change if inconsistencies
were found, or if any injustice had
been done the people of the islands,
or if any particular trade or industry
had been Disseminated against.
The particular question discussed
was that of butter and butterine. I'm
der the Spanish law, butter paid q
duty of cents a pound, and butterine
was prohibited. 1t was decided to fix
a Uniform rate for both Of 2 cents a
pound. Butterine, moreover, will be
required to be stamped as such,
During the meeting a telegram was
received from General Alger at Mon.
tauk Point in which he said in effect
that the situation there was reasonably
satisfactory.

Learned men have been discussing
the question for ages whether any
thing in the way Of hospitals was
known to the ancients. Now it is an.
nounced that one has actually been
discovered at Baden, Germany, con-
tanning fourteen rooms, supplied with
many kinds of medical, pharmaceuti-
cal. and surgical apparatus, probes,
tubes, pincers, cauterizing instru
ments and even collection Of safety
pins for bandaging wounds. There
are also medicine spoons in bone and
silver, measuring vessels. jars and
pots for ointment, some still contain
ING traces Of the ointment used. The
latest date Of the coins found appears
TO be the reign Of Hadrian, who was
Emperor A. D. 117-l3s, from which it
Is inferred that it was a military hos
pital. Verify there is nothing new
under the sun.

The New York Tribune observes:
Some German missionaries went to
China and got killed by a mob; where
upon Germany, by way Of indemnity,
seized Chinese port and the ada
cent territory. And now German
Consul General, in an official report,
>dwells upon the desirability of getting
still more Chinese territory, and says
the easiest way to do so is to send
more missionaries Talk about cold
bloodedness That suggestion is
enough to send cold shivers down the
spine of the most heartless cynic in
the world.
