LOOKING FOR A GRAVE.
The Democracy Is in as Bad Plight
as 1t Was in the Year
1863.

The resolutions committee of the Mas
sachusetts democratic convention re-
iected a resolution demanding the
prompt and vigorous prosecution of the
campaign in the Philippines and repu-
dating Aguinaldo's statement that he
had the support of the democratic party
in the United States. Mr.. Jaquith, who
introduced the resolution, gave the
committee an opportunity to disavow
sympathy with Aguinaldo. The COM
mittee in rejecting the resolution ac-
cepted Aguinaldo's statement as to a
virtual cooperation between him and
the democrats and declined to censure
the leader of the rebellion against the
United States government. On the re-
lection of his resolution, Mr.. Jaquith
resigned from the committee.
AT a meeting of the democratic state
convention in Massachusetts, in 1863 a
resolution was introduced declaring
that 'in the present emergency the
democratic party, banishing all feelings
of mere passion and resentment, will
recollect only its duty to the whole
country" 1t was laid on the table, and
there was adopted instead a resolution
declaring that the democratic party
was opposed "to any and all efforts on
the part of the administration to con-
tinue the present deplorable civil war

MILLIONS FOR WAR.
EngIand's Parliament VIII be Asked
TO Furnish Gst900,000 for Fighting
the BOers-A Treasure Train Seized.

Bloemfontein, Oct. 5.-The govern
ment publishes a telegram from Bosh-
of stating that the British forces have
crossed the border and that fighting
has commenced. Another telegram
says the troops have crossed the bor
der. but that no lighting has occurred
London, Oct. 5.-The most interest
ing announcement in connection with
the Transvaal crisis is that the chan
cellor of the eXchequer, Michael IL.
Reach, has already sanctioned the
provisional expenditure of 100000
and that the government will not ex-
cced that limit without authority
from parliament, which will be asked
to vote sum not exceeding C 8,000,-
600.
The war board yesterday discussed
and drew mp arrangements to insure
the safety of the route from Durham
to Laings Mex, so that large bodies
of troops may on Decentralization be
rapidly forwarded up the country to
the front without confusion or crowd
ing at the base. 1t is stated that the
war Office has decided that the army
corps for service in South Africa shall
be much larger than originally esti-
mated and that it now consists of over
10000 men. The preparations for the
dispatch of this force, including the
chartering of big ocean liners, are
steadily proceeding.
The Press association learns that the
dispatch drawn mp by the cabinet on
FRIDAY was still unscnt up to last
evening. On the other hand a tele-
gram from Brussels gives from well
informed source" the news that Herr
Leyds, the representative in Europe
of the South African republic, has re-
ceived confirmation of the report that
President Kruger has addressed an
nltimatum to England demanding the
withdrawal of the British forces from
the frontier within 46 hours and that
it was delivered on Monday. This re-
port. however, lacks official confirma-
Iion.
The confidence of the military au-
thorities at the cape is shown by a
dispatch received last night from
Cape Town. which stated that at Il
conference between the military au-
1horities there and Gen. White, who
will command the British forces in
Natal, and Gen. Walker, held to con-
slider the situation, Gen. White eX-
pressed himself as confident that the
British would be able to present 4
force sufficient to repel any attack.
\ dispatch from Nolksrust says the
Roer camp on the Natal border now
comprises 5000 men and is growing
daily. The camp breathes a religious
fervor. The commissariat arrange
ments, the dispatch says, are defec-
tive. One of the largest corps lay
in the veldt without shelter during a
heavy thunder storm. Commandant
Joubert is momentarily expected to
assume command of the Boer forces.
The report of a seizure by the
Transvaal government of 100000 in
gold which was on the way to Cape
Town from Johannesburg is confirmed
from two sources.
The Cape Ar@us asserts that the
Beers made the seizure at Nerenig-
ing the amount being the weeks
shipment Of gold from the rand to
Cape Town. and forwarded the treas
ure to Pretoria.

A VOICE FROM THE FRONT.
The Opinion of n Soldier who Is Dnt-
tlinE for the Flag In the
Philippines.

There is published in Manila a week
ly newspaper called Freedom, ian
American newspaper for American sol
diers." Its existence is a characteristic
token of American progress in the Phil
ippines. Whenever an American army
sets out on a business errand its equip
ment includes printing presses and
spelling books, as well as guns and pro-
visions. Size by side with every ad-
vance of the flag, it establishes schools
and newspapers, the educational forces
which are to defend the ground which
has been won by the valor of heroes in
the field. The Manila newspaper, fifty
named Freedom, sends back to America
a message from the firing line which
shows how the Atkinsons, Aitgelds,
Lentzes and their fellow disloyalists are
regarded by the fighting men at the
front. Take the following extract from
the leading article in a recent number
of our esteemed Philippine contempo-
rary:
"The war in Luzon must go on; it was
brought on by the ove&bearing natives,
and there is only one course under
heaven to pursue. The sovereignty of
the United States must be acknowl-
edged in the archipelago before the
next step can be taken. Any other
course would be folly.
"Why not cease this chatter about the

INSURGENTS ARE ACTIVE.
reports of Fighting at a Number OF
Points Come from Manila-Eyo At

Manila. Oct. 5.-Several hundred in
surgents have reoccupied Porac, which
was captured by Gen. Macarthur on
September % and evacuated by the
Americans the following day. The in
surGcnt forces are reported as moving
toward Mexico, southeast of Angeles.
The object Of the double movement is,
apparently. to get behind the Ameri-
can garrison on both sides of the Ma
nila-Dagupan railway.
Reconnaissance from Mexico by the
Fourth cavalry toward Santa Ana,
northeast of Mexico, and toward Ara
yat developed the fact that the insur-
gents are in position at both points.
An American private was killed in
the skirmish at Santa Ana. The Ara
vat party learned that Scott and Ed
wards, of the Twenty-tifth infantry,
who are missing, are prisoners at Ma
galaye. The insurgents on Wednes-
day made two attacks on Calamba, in
which the commanding officer reports
60 Filipinos were killed and many
wounded. Two companies of the
Twenty-frst regiment repelled each
attack. losing two men and seven
wounded.
Bolomen surprised an American out
post near Cuagua. killing two privates.
The other two escaped.
While four sailors of the cruiser
Baltimore were entering the Bacoor
river in boat after the fight on Tues
dav they received volley, wounding
three. 1t is understood that the
vollcy came from United States sol
diers who, having been ordered to
prevent the passing of boats, fired by
mistake upon the Baltimore's men.
Rear Admiral Watson announces the
recovery of the United States gun
boat Urdaneta, which was captured
and beached by the insurgents near
Orani, on the Orani river, where she
had been blockading. Tie expedition
was entirely successful. tie Americans
suffering no casualties.
An attack upon Paranaque was
made by the insurgents last night,
and rebel sympathizers in the town
set fire to Il number of buildings. Col.
Daggett repulsed the attack and de-
cEned offers of assistance from Pa
coor. The extent of the damage done
by the inccndiary fires has not been
learned.

A government school to teach how to
cook for sick soldiers is carried on at
the barracks in Washington under the
direction of Miss Elizabeth Stack. The
classes, numbering so, are composed of
sturdy private soldiers enlisted in the
hospital corps, and the course en-
braces "a lessons, with four reviews.
Milk is the first subject taken up, fol-
lowed by broths, jellies and cereals.
Especial attention is given TO rice on
account of operations in the Philip
pines. Bacon is a leading topic, and ten
ways of preparing hardtack are eX-
planned. Army hospitals are allowed
40 cents a day for each patient with
which to buy milk and other nourishing
articles, and the course includes lessons
on the principles of buying food. Miss
Stack is the daughter of naval cap
tain, and has been scientifically trained
for this work.

New York, Oct. 3.-The call loan
rate was carried up to 35 per cent. i'll

miles above Frankfort, few days ago,
a large sycamore log was seen floating
in the river. 1t is the mission of this
boat to clean the river of snags, SO,
while getting the log out of the river,
they heard a great noise inside the log,
which, upon investigation, proved to be
two catfish, weighing AZ pounds each.
The next day they saw another log of
the same kind sycamore and hollow,
and in this log they found one fish
