tailed some time ago for recruiting duty
and has been very successful. He expect
ed yesterday to leave to-day with a batch
OF recruits for jefferson Barracks, Mo-,
where his regiment is being organized.
Capt. Sawyer is from Aiken, S. c. Dur
ing the war with Spain he was a captain
in the First South Carolina Regiment. 1t
was through his own section that he went
on his recruiting "trip, though other sec
tons were also taken in. In the number
of applications received he was very for
tunate, though there We're many who APP
piled who were not physically fit. They
could not be accepted on that account.
Capt. Sawyer estimates the percentage
that get through as about 10.

The sake of the $3.50 month the position
carries with it, He gave up The position

and through. he says, and believes that it
was his duty to respond 10 a call. The
government he holds, should be supported
in It's policy.
As a lawyer. Capt. Sawyer refutes the
claim some have made that the Philip
pines did not belong to Spain to cede to
the United States He says an analogous
case would be that of man driving out
another from his own house with a shot
gun and then taking possession The law
does not recognize the invader as holding
tide to the house just because he has
driven out the rghtful owner No deed
to the house was executed to the invader,
and SO Spain had executed none to Agu-
naldo and his Fihpinos. The title of two
or three hundred years occupancy, Capt.
Sawyer believes, gave Spain a clear tide
and she had perfect right TO transfer it
to the United States

bush FIGHTING Ar ILO1LO.
Private John r. Masters Writes of
Experiences With the FIiipinos.

Private John r. Masters Writes OF
Experiences with the FiIipinos.
Police Clerk Masters has received from
his son, John r. Masters, now a private
in the Eighteenth Infantry, and stationed
at Jaro, seven miles from Iloilo on the
Island of Pauay an interesting letter, de-
scrlptive of his experience on the island.
The letter is dated July Is. at which
time the desultory fighting on the island
was stiil in progress. Private Masters
said that insurgents posted their sharp
shooters in the tops of the cocoanut trees
and that they thence did much damage
among small parties of the American
troops. Most of the insurgents were arm
ed with The Old Remington rifle and used
the brass bullets producing a wound that
caused blood poisoning and almost certain
death.
Private Masters had recently been made
a sharpshooter himself, end did special
duty against he attachments of the Fiji
plnos who fired from he trees. The idea
was 10 beat the insurgents at their own
game, and the letter said that this was
being done. Masters wrote of shooting
one of the sharpshooters from q tree who
was engaged at the time in an attempt to
pick off the members of a foraging party
of the regiment of which he IS a member.
Al the time the letter was written, Priv
ate Masters expected to receive a dis
charge about the middle of August and
10 leave for home soon thereafter. lie
reports that his taste for "the glory of a
soldiers life" has been quite satiated, and
he is perfectly willing and content to set
tie down in the enjoyment of some peace
full and peaceab,e pursuit.

DEFENDANT MUST SHOW CAUSE.
why He should Not Pay His Wife
Temporary Alimony.

Temporary Alimony.
Arguments upon rule to show cause
that has been granted by Judge Falligant
in the suit for temporary and permanent
aIimony that has been filed by Annie Ell
singer against Peter Elsinser, will be
heard in the Superior Court tomorrow

The arguments to be heard then will be
on the question of temporary allmony, at
torney's fees and costs of court. that the
plaintiff has asked be allowed her pending
the hearing and determination of the
principal action. In support of her plea
for permanent alimony the plaintiff states
that her husband has deserted her and
refuses to contribute to her support and
that he is now in receipt of an income
of about $500 per year.
The ground Of desertlon is the only one
presented in support of the petitioners
plea for alimony. and there are no allie
cations of cruelty or other statutory rea-
sons that are usually offered in the plead
ings in such cases. Neither party has any
property and both are dependent upon
the earning power of the defendant.

we would have them know, at any rate,
that our epidermis is not as thick as

fered. This win be some slight satisfac-
ton at ali events. Our principal hope is
that we can so present and explain the

present schedules. throughout the month
of September. That is the present inten.
ton. and the officials see nothing likely to
cause an alteration of the plan. A num-
Der of the summer residents of the island
are remaining much longer than usual
the Atlantic Club still has several MEM
bers and their families sojourning there.
Residents of the island declare September
the most pleasant month of the year when
spent on Tybee, and it is the test of the
declaration by a number of Savannahians
this summer that induces the road to keep
up its schedule.
Sept. three of the six trains each way
a day were taken off, leaving the three
each way that have since been run. Oct
/ It IS intended to cut down the number
20 two each way, and those two will con-
