song and speech making will revive
memories of highland and lowland and
do honor to the bard whose simple
verses bring back their childhood days.
Jan rs is fast becoming the great
national day of Scotland. Many an
other nation has made fete day of
the anniversary of the birth Of some
one of its famous men. Most mon
arches celebrate the natal day of the
reigning monarch. The United States
makes holiday of Washington
birthday. The South American repub-
lies honor the birthday of their great
hberator, Bolivar Irishmen in a sim
liar manner honor one of their patri-
otto sons, Robert Emmett But in al
most every case the man thus honored
Is some great warrior, statesman, lib
erator, some worker of great deeds,

WAsHINGTON. Dec. 4.-General Joe
Wheeler, in q personal letter received
here, dated Angeles, Luzon, says:
There are more than 20 different
tribes in this island and very few Of
them would submit to Aguinaldo's
rule. Aguinaldo and his generals
would like to govarn because it would
give them great power and many Of his
soldiers like the war because for the
first time in their lives they have au-
thority TO carry n gun. They live by
taking what they van from this peo-
pie. Many of them are robbers who
rob defenseless people Of their money
and sometimes murder them. If we
should withdraw there would be war.
fare and anarchy in. the islands and the
well-to-do people would get some strong
government to come and take control.
"Aguinaldo publishes a paper which
is filled with expressions from people of
the United States who are called anti
imperialists, and l think were it not fox
these expressions, the insurrectiou
would be closed"

MORE WORK FOR THE NAVY
TO CROSS THE PACIFIC.
Watson Needs ReinfOrcemcnts-T
Move Made in Obedience to Dew
ey's Advicc-Marines and Blue
jackets to Help Soldiers.

| Washington, Oct. 4.--The president to-
day directed the immediate dispatch to
the Philippines of a number of vessels of
the navy, including the cruiser Brooklyn
and the gunboats Marietta and Machias
The action is the result of Admiral Dew
ey's interview today, in which he went
over the Philippine situation with the
president.
The orders given are in line with the ex-
pressed determination of the president to
furnish the army and navy every resource
for stamping out the Instruction at the
earliest possible time. At Admiral Dew
ey's interview with the president today,
the former went into the Philippine situa-
ton at great length, explaining carefully
the existing condition of affairs and his
views of the outlook, concluding with a
recommendation that the Brooklyn and
other vessels be sent at once to the Phil
ippines. This reinforcement of the pres
ent squadron, he urged as necessary, and
said their dispatch should be directed as
early as possible. The president imme-
diately communicated with the navy de-
partment and instructed the secretary of
the navy to issue an order carrying out
the admiral's recommendation, and to see
that they be got in readiness at once. The
Marietta and Machias, besides the Brook
Ign, will be designated by the navy de-
partment along with several other yes
sells, which have not been selected. The
Brooklyn is now with the other vessels Of
the North Atlantic squadron off Temp
kinsville. The Machias and the Marietta
are at present lying at the wharves in
this city, on waiting orders, having been
brought here to participate in this weeks
celebration in honor of Admiral Dewey.
These reinforcements will add considerable
strength to the Asiatic squadron, and the
administration believes they will have
good effect in ending hostilities. The
Brooklyn's formidable equipment will
make her of invaluable service.

Bull Leaped the Barrier.

Paris, Oct. s.-The first attempt to
hold a bull fight here proved fiasco. An
immense crowd gathered about the ring
at Douil. The first bull brought into the
ring was splendid black animal, which
leaped the barrier and created terrible
panic among the spectators, injuring a
dozen people, some of them seriously. The
bull then escaped into the country, where
he was pursued by matadores and plea
dores and was finally dispatched. One
gendarme was tossed and gored. The po-
lice stopped further proceedings and the
ring was occupied by troops until the
crowd dispersed.
