There was no lack of medical or other
necessities; nothing essential to the eff
ficiency of the force as a fighting body,
to its health, to the protection of the
men from adverse conditions of life in
the field during the rainy season Of the
tropics, had been neglected or forgot

OF supply was close at hand and the
problem OF transportation inland from

1T is safe to assume, from the admirable
order and system displayed, that any
such difficulties presented would have
been overcome.

THE WAGES OF LABOR.

MEN FOR OTIS.
Fourteen Thousand Regulars to be Sent to
Reinforce Him.

Fourteen Thousand Regulars to be Sent to
Reinforce Him.
Washington, April %. - Fourteen
thousand regulars are to be sent to re-
inforce General Otis at Manila, as soon
as the necessary marine transportation
can be provided. The first regiment
ordered will probably be the Seventh
artillery, of which the two light bat
teries, C and NJ, have been ordered
home from Porto Rico for the purpose.
They will be sent at once to San Fran
cisco, to await an available transport
steamer
With the regulars already ordered
and on their way to Manila, General
Otis will have an effective force of
81, PTS men, in addition to the recruits
being sent every few days for the reg
ulars already in the Philippines. This
force is to be raised to $4,000 men by
the time the aggressive operations can
be pressed in the early autumn.
The volunteers to be returned to this
country from Manila, number barely
10000, many of whom are greatly de-
bilitated, so the determination to send
$4,000 able bodies of regulars to take
their places is calculated to show the
rebel leaders that the United States is
terribly in earnest about meeting its
responsibilities for preserving order
and commanding respect throughout
the archipelago.

Manamaker Bitter.

Philadelphia, April 23.-John Wana-
maker has made the following state
ment in regard to the acquital of ex-
Senator Quay and the latter's appoint
ment by the governor as United States
senator:
1.-THE acquittal of Senator Quay will
be disappointment to every lover of
justice and every friend of good gov
eminent throughout the United States.
1t records with emphasis the difficulty
of convicting potent political people
charged with crimes, no matter how
clear and convincingly overwhelming
the evidence may be. The story of the
corrupt use and speculation in public
money in Pennsylvania is an old one
and has been matter of notorious ac-
cusation against long line of state
treasurers and political bosses for
many years.
1.-The first shout of defiant exul tation
of his acquittal has proceeded from
the governor of the commonwealth,
who has promptly appointed him a
United States senator without author
ity and in violation of the law and in
defiance of the will of the people as
expressed by the votes of this legisla-
ture. 1t is fitting in every way that
the capstone should thus have been
put on the editice of boss rule and ma
chine jobbery by the Quay representa-
tive in the governors chair"

DECLINE TO DISBAND.
SPAIN'S FILIPINO ALLIES ARE IN
A SAD PLIGHT.
Natives Who Have Aided the Spaniards
Refuse to Give up Their Arms, Fearing
the Vengeance of Their ComPatriOts.

Manila, April 22.-Spain's evacuation
of the Philippine islands will be prac.
ticaily completed by the withdrawal of
the Spanish garrison from Fam boanga,
Island of Mindanao, and from the Sulu
islands, and if the United States as
sumes control of Mindanao and the
Sulu islands on the Spaniards' with
drawing. the military authorities must,
in order to garrison those islands, di-
minish the forces of American troops,
which are already too small
There was almost mutiny among the
Spanish troops in the islands, because
they were expected to proceed to the
Ladrone and the Caroline islands, some
of them refusing to do SO, claiming
that their enlistment had expired. The
latter were exempted and allowed to
return to Spain on board the Alva.
The native troops in the Spanish
garrison are in a sad plight. They
must accompany the Spaniards or risk
the vengeance of their compatriots.
The Spaniards proposed to disband
them, but they refused to give up their
arms.
The natives of Zamboanga are likely
to prove troublesome when the Spanish
troops are withdrawn from the coast
towns of the island of Mindanao. It'll
believed that the smouldering tribal
wars will then be resumed, anarchy
will prevail and the inhabitants OF
nearly every village will fight with
their neighbors.
A tripartite exchange of prisoners
will be arranged if it is possible tc
negotiate with the Filipinos as if they
were a civilized nation If the Fill
pinos consent to release the Spanish
prisoners, the Americans might release
the Tagalogs they now hold prisoners
in return for which Spain would free
her political prisoners, The provisions
of the Paris treaty would thus be car
ried out The Spanish commission
however, hesitates to enter the Fill
pino lines, fearing treachery, although
Aguinaldo has guaranteed the safety
of the commissioners

Doesn't Like tho Language Used by Captain
Coghlan of the Raleigh.
Washington, April 26.-The German
government has entered formal pro-
test against the language used by Cap
tain Coghlnn OF the Raleigh, at the
Union League club banquet in New
York last Friday night.
The protest was lodged with Secre-
tary Hay through the German ambas-
sador Herr Won Holleben. Secretary
Hay replied that the language APP
peared to have been used at dinner
In club, and could not be regarded
as an official or public utterance in the
sense that would warrant the state de-
partment in acting. However, the
navy department was fully competent
to take such action as the case seemed
to require.
With this statement the ambassador
was content for the time at least, and
will doubtless await reasonable
lenght Of time upon the navy depart
ment.

DIED AT THE STAKE.
HORRIBLE DEATH OF A NEGRO
MURDERER.
Victim Bound to Tree and, After BsinE
MutilAted, IL Roasted to Death by His
self-APpolnted ExecutIoners.

Newman, Ga, April 25.-sam Hose,
q negro charged with the murder OF
q farmer and the outrage Of the dead
mans wife, was burned at the stake
here Sunday afternoon by a mob of
200 enraged people.
| Before the torch was applied TO the
pyre, the negro was deprived of his
ears, fingers and other portions of his
anatomy. lie pleaded pitifully for his
life while the mutilation was going on,
but stood the ordeal of fire with sur
prising fortitude.
Before the body was cool it was cut
to pieces, the bones were crushed into
small bits and even the tree upon
which the wretch met his fate was
torn mp and disposed of as souvenirs.
Hose killed Alfred Crawford, white
farmer, near Palmetto, and outraged
his wife ten days ago. Since that time
business in that part of the state has
been suspended, the entire population
turning out in an effort to capture
Hose. He successfully eluded pursuit
until discovered near Macon.
Governor Gambler has been asked to
send troops here to preserve order for
day or two, as it is feared the ne
groes may wreak vengeance, many
threats to that effect having been
made.
Hose admitted the killing of Gram
ford, but denied that he had assaulted
the dead mans wife. Before being
put to death, the negro stated that he
had been paid sic by Lige Strickland,
q negro preacher at Palmetto, to kill
Crawford. A mob of citizens is scour-
ing the country for Strickland, who
| has left his home.

Colonel Stotsenberg has won repu-
tation as one of the bravest fighters in
the army. He always led his regiment
and had achieved remarkable popular
ity with his men since the war began,
although during his first colonelcy, the
volunteers who were not used to the
rigid discipline of the regular troops,
thought him hard officer. The
colonel led his men in charge against
the enemy, and fell about 200 yards
from their breastworks, shot through
the heart. Lieutenant Sisson fell with
bullet in his heart, the bullet strik
ing him near the nicture of girl
suspended by ribbon from his neck.

an Innocent Man.

an Innocent Man.
Palmetto, Ca, April 2e.-The body
Of Lige Strickland, the negro preacher
who was implicated in the Crawford
murder by Sam Hose, was found
swinging to the limb Of q persimmon
tree within a mile and quarter of this
place Monday morning. Before death
was allowed TO end the sufferings of
the negro, his ear was cut off and the
small finger Of the left hand was sew
cred at the second joint.
On the chest OF the negro was a scrap
Of blood-stalned paper, fastened with
an ordinary pin. On one side of this
paper was written: New York Jour
nal: We must protect our ladies; 23-99. ;
The other side of the paper contained
q warning TO the negroes of the neigh
borhood. 1t read as follows: beware,
all darkies. You will be treated the
same way"
Before being lynched, Strickland
was given a chance To confess to the
misdeeds OF which the mob supposed
him to be guilty, but he protested his
innocence until the end Three times
the moose was placed around his neck
and the negro was drawn up, and three
times he was let down, with warnings
that death was in store for him should
he fail to confess his completely in the
Crawford murder. Three times Strick-
land proclaimed his innocence, until,
weary of useless torturing, the mob
pulled on the rope and tied the end
around the slender trunk of the per-
simmon tree. Not a shot was fired by
the mob. Strickland was strangled to
death.

w. R. Milburn, John Holmes, M. R.
Dagger, E. L. Stetson, of Buena Vista
county, Iowa, report as follows of the
Canadian Northwest as to its suit
ability for farming, and the advan-
tages it offers to the agricultural i'm
migrant from the United States;
I'VE came here solely to look up i'm
proved farms and if suitable, to Sc
lect such as pleased us best. We have
not visited the homestead districts at
all, though we believe them to be very
inviting Our inquiries have been
confined solely to the district around
Hartney, Deloraine and towards the
Souris River in Manitoba. Our i'm
pressions of all that region are in
every way satisfactory, and We have
decided to go back to Iowa at once,
and, having disposed of our several
interests there, to return to Manitoba
in the month of March next and, eff
fecting our purchase of improved
| farms, which we find we can do at
reasonable rates. Immediately begin
| farming. We are greatly pleased with
all that we have seen in that part of
| Western Canada The soil we find to
| be more than equal to that of our own
country for wheat-growing. and the
other conditions of climate, schools,
markets, etc, are all that we could
wish for.
'To show what an energetic man
can do we may mention that we found
one such at Hartney who had rented
4 farm on shares, receiving two-thirds
Of the returns as his share of the
crop. When he came to sell his own
produce he found that his two-thirds,
when converted into cash, was enough
10 buy the farm he rented out and
but, which he accordingly did, and is
aow its owner. 1t is our intention to
induce as many of our friends as pos
ible, who are practical farmers, to re-
move from Iowa to this country,
where we believe there is a better

q now to be found anywhere on this

letter received from British naval
officer at Apia, dated March IS, the
British warship Porpoise, in order to
cripple the rebels, cruised around the
coast of Upola, burning villages and
carrying to Apia all the boats of the
the natives. AS their boats are re-

their most valuable possession, it
was believed that plan would really
infiict greater hardships upon them
than the destruction of their villages.

HOW TO SUPPRESS CRIME.
Chicago Doctor Suggests Establishment OF
Tarpeiau Rock.

Tarpeiau Rock.
Chicago, April 26.-Daniel E. Brewer,
a prominent physician, in lecture,
advocated the establishment of Tar
peiau rock in Chicago, unless the city
secures new code of criminal laws.
He said: 1.-THE percentage of crimi-
nails have increased so rapidly in the
United States that we now have one
habitual, or hereditary criminal in
every thousand persons. Criminals
propagate, marry and multiply unre-
stricted and unless we can change our
laws, will continue to increase in the
same ratio they have in the past until
1t Is appalling to contemplate the re-
suit. If Chicago does not soon have a
new code of criminal laws, it will be
wiser to have Tarpeiau rock, like the
Romans, from which malefactors and
degenerates might be thrown to death.
We should have laws controlling mar
riage SO that degeneracy may be
checked by preventing the union of
criminal, diseased or lunatic couples. .
