Splendid Farm for Sale.

The sale Of the Joseph q Kent farm,
in Wythe county, Va, which was adver-
tised by Commissioner w. II. Boiling for
the 22nd inst, was postponed until the
2SLh of June, 1899, as will be seen by ref
erence to advertisement which appears in
another column of the REPUBLICAN. The
sale of this splendid farm affords a rare
opportunity to those who wish to invest in
one of the finest bodies of land found in
Southwest Virginia or any where on earth.
1t will be hard 10 get in one body the
sime number of acres that will equal the
Kent farm 1t is not only celebrated for
fertility but for beauty that cannot be
surpassed. Every improvement is Of the
most substantial character, and as we have
said before it is princely estate any man
should feel a pride in possessing. No
doubt some of our Tazewell county gra'
ziers will be on the look out at the sale.

The Sugar Trade War.

New York, May Concerning reports
that the sugar trade war would soon be
amicably settled, a member of the firm Of
B. H. Howell & Sons, who represent the
Mollenhauer and National Sugar refine
ries, said
"There is no truth whatever in the re-
ported settlement of the differences be-
tween the various refneries. Some weeks
ago negotiations to that end were under
way, but were dropped because OF utter
failure of interested parties to come to
terms. The situation is without change,
and it is doubtful whether there will be
ANYTHING like settlement for long time
to come. Our two reiinersries are closed
indefinitely. 1t is absolutely impossible
so refine and sell our products at proht
while the war lasts"

A TEMPORARY PLAN.

Washington, May 22.-The report from
Manila that form of government has
been proposed TO the Filippinos, including
a governor general, cabinet and advisory
council, is confirmed at the State Depart
ment. The plan is the outgrowth of nu'
merous cable and mail exchanges between
President Scurman, of the Filipino Com
mission, and Secretary Hay, as we'll as ad-
vices from General Otis and Admiral
Dewey.
Like the Culan system, the administra-
ton would be military in character, for
the time being at least, while conditions
were unsettled. The authorities here are
acting on the theory that, as in the case OF
Porto Rico, it will be for Congress to es-
tablish the permanent form of govern
ment for the islands. 1t was understood
at the time Major General Lawton went
to Manila that General Otis would be-
come governor General, while General
Lawton assumed active direction of mill
tary affairs. 1t is not improbable tina
this plan might be carried out of the Fill
pinos accept the plan now proposed.

MILITARY OPERATIONS.

Manila, May 22.-2:1S p. MN spite
of the presence of the Filipino commits
sioners in Manila, the military operations
continue with unabated vigor. The visl-
tors we're apparently ignorant Of the true
condition of affairs here. Upon their ar
rival they were Immediately inundated
with invitations covering both day and
night. and express surprise at the condi-
ton of affairs within our lines. They had
been led to believe that everything was
chaotic, and are delighted at the reception
accorded them.
Reports received from persons who have
arrived from the interior show that no
troops are left in the northern provinces.
They were all drafted south after the out
break of the war. The villages on the
west coast are almost deserted, and the
Ilocanos c9pecially are desirous of joining
the Americans, if only for the purpose of
crushing the Tagals. Many natives OF
Bengueto and and Ilocos said that if the
Americans had not arrived civil war would
necessarily have ensued, owing to the tric-
ton between the Tagalos and the inhabl-
tants of other provinces.
THE REBEL FORCES.
1t Is added that thns tnse only Filipino troops
noM6eft are 1000 men under utgRHfeeSSa!
Luna at Tarlac, and about 1000 under
General Pic Del Pillar. Even these are
demoralised and short of arms and sup
niles. Many of their rifles are disabled
and the Fihpinos are unable to repair then
owing to the lack OF mechanics and mater
ials for SO doing.
A coasting steamer which has arrived
here reports that the Spanish garrison a
Zamboanga, island of Mindanao, is hel(
by the rebels in much the same manner a
the Americans held them while they wer

Midnight Prowlers.

That some one is fixing himself
to get dose of bird shot one of
these warm nights is no fable.
During the past week several
houses in the north part of town
have been entered and articles and
money taken. Our latest informa-
ton is that on Saturday night last
some one entered the house of j.
7. Harris by removing the screen
from the window. This individual
was barefoOted as plainly indicated
by the tracks in the dust and sand
outside. A pocket book contain
ing $1.75 was taken, but that was
all. The thief must have been
very deliberate in his acts, as on
the outside he found a watermelon
which he ate, then left. The ARD
MoREITE does not advocate
murder, but shot gun and small
shot will put a stop to such work
quicker than anything else we
know.
