NEWS OF LIEUT.. GILMORE.
Account of Experiences Of Captured
Men of the Yorktown,

A dispatch from Manila says when
;he landing party from the United
States battleship Oregon under Lieut..
Commander McCrackin took the town
Of Vigon, province Of South Ilocos,
last Sunday they found there an escaped
prisoner, A. L. Sonnenshein, who fur
nished the first authentic account Of
the experience Of Lieut.. James C.
Gilmore of the United States boat
Yorktown, who, with party of the
Yorktown, vas captured by the insur-
gents near Baler, on the east coast Of
Luzon last April while making an ey
animation ct the river in an armed
boat. MIR. Sonneushein was imprisoned
at Abrs for a long time with Lieut..
Gilmore and seven sailors, but con-
trived to escape, carrying a concealed
note, written in naval cipher, dated
Abra, Nov. 10, addressed to ANY
naval officer" and saying: "You may
have perfect confidence in anything the
bearer says The note was signed
Gilmore J" According to Mr.. Son
ncnshein, when Lieut.. Gilmore's launch
entered the river from Balor harbor,
under the cover Of Ensign W. q.
Standley's gun, the landing party was
received with three volleys. Two Of
the Americans we're killed and two
mortally wounded. Every man was hit,
Lieut.. Gilmore receiving flesh wound
in the leg and his foot stuck fast in the
mud. 1t was choice between surren-
der and being slaughtered. Lieut..
Gilmore asked the terms of release.
The insurgents proposed that he should
procure the delivery Of the arms and
munitions Of the Spanish garrisons,
undertaking, if this was accomplished,
10 send the Spaaiards and the Ameri-
CAPS to the Yorktown. 4 sailor Of
Lieut.. Gillmore's party carried this
proposition to the garrison. The Span
;sh commandant replied that it vas an
insult to Spanish arms, and expelled
the sailor, Spanish soldier firing upon
him as he went. The Americans were
then bound hand and foot aud taken to
San Isidro, where Gen. Luna ordered
their execution. They were marched
to the plaza, and, in the presence Of a
great crowd, were aligned to be ezecu-
ted. Lieut.. Gilmore said: "As an
American officer and gentleman I pro-
test against being shot with my hands
tied" Aguinaldo iaterfered and pre-
vented the execution. When Gen.
Lawton approached San Isido last
June the Americans were removed to
Abra, where they were kept confined
in cells for two months. Subsequently
they were allowed greater liberty, but
the report tnat Lieut.. Gilmore was
given house and servant is untrue.
He had the same quarters as the men
and the Americans were given the
same allowance as the Spanish prison
ers-lve cents day with which to
buy rice and bananas, virtually the
only rations.

Curing Rome Raised Pork.

In short time the dying squeal of
fattened pork will be heard throughout
the country districts. Hog-killing
times are always good, and little chill
dren who have never cooked a "melt"
on the hot rocks, or blew up bladder
for Christmas morning, have never en-
joyed the happiest features of young
child life. The proper method of cur.
ing our meat is not always looked after
as it should be. Meat should never be
slaug ghtered unless there is ice. Dry,
clear weather, with the thermometer
down to freezing point, is safe period
to kill. The log should be slit in half
aud laid out (sfter sp.iukling salt light
ly on the joints the first night. The
next morning the animal heat will have
disappeared, and the neat be cold and
firm for cutting up. After trimming
all the hams and shoulders close, all the
meat to be cured should be we'll rubbed
With salt and neatly packed down IN a
box or barrels. After which cover the
whole with salt, and if the hogs are
small let the meat remain down for a
period of three weeks, if large hogs,
four weeks. After taking up, knock
of the salt, and before hanging up,
sprinkle each piece lightly with pull
velized borax, using one pound to about
700 pounds of meat. Bugs and flies
will never disturb meat on which borax
has been sprinkled, and it therefore
keeps nicely for any !eugth Of time.

has been given shelter by Senior
Legarde, q prominent amigo, who
was secretary OF the treasury
before the outbreak, and who resigned

asylum, intending to sell hin to the
Americans. The bandits assassinatcd
half of Buencamino's guard and pro-
posed to keep Aguinaldo's mother for

Kills His Brother.

Roy Jackson, a colored boy, aged 16,
was killed Wednesday morning in Co.
lumbia by his brother, James Jackson.
1t appears that their mother, Ellie
Jackson, was whipping the younger boy,
Roy, when James, the elder brother,
came in. There was dispute about
the whipping and the two brothers went
out in the street, where they had a
regular street fight. Roy ran around a
tree and James followed him up. 1t is
now said that Roy fired pistol at
James, wnereupon James picked up a
rock or brick and struck Roy in the
head. Roy died in an hour or two from
the effects cf the blow.

MESSENGERS QUIT.
Novel Strike of Boys Employed by
Telegraph Companies.

CINCINNATI, o., July PA novel strike
that causes considerable inconvenience was
inaugurated to-day by the messengers OF
the American District and Ohio Messenger
companies. They simply failed to appear
for duty and the delivery of kilograms by
both the Western Union and Postal com.
panies must wait until a new force can be
organized. The boys have made no organ
lied demand, but individuals have said their
object was to get more wages and be free
from fines for hardness.
The striking messenger boys were ad-
dressed tonight by Frank l.. Rist, president
OF the Cincinnati Central Labor Council,
and others. Resolutions demanding eight
hours, SIS per month and changes in split
systems were postponed till tomorrow aft
ernoon, when a meeting will be held to or
ganize a union. Rist and other older coun-
selors advised the boys TO return home after
adjournment, but they rushed en- masse for
the Western Union building to get after the
messengers who had taken their places. The
police finally dispersed them. Police re-
mained around the Western Union building
during the night.

UNIVERSITY STUDENTS.



Whatever the assemblage at the tent yes-
terday afternoon may have lacked in num-
bers was more than made up in the SYM
pathy and enthusiasm of the audience. The
subject under discussion as explained by the
chairman, Rev. F. A. Cassidy, OF Guelph,
Ont. was the development and edu-
cation required to produce the highest
and broadest civic life. In introducing the
discussion he said: Every day our civic
life is growing and expanding. New re-
sponsbilities beset US on every hand. new
subjects must be bravely met and efica-
ciously disposed of. New relations confront
US and must be studied, our entire exis-
tence daily grows broader and our duties in
crease. How to meet these new require
ments, how to prepare for them and to
battle with them is the subject to be dis
cussed by the speakers of the afternoon"
Previous to the arrival Of the speakers a.
delegation of De Pauw students, fifty or
sixty strong. took possession of the platform
and shouted and sung until they were
hoarse A young lady possessed herself Of
the piano stool and played the accompani-
ment to the old college songs while young
man of lusty lungs and unfettered enthu-
siasm sprang upon chair and led the De
Pauw yells.

The meeting in English's Opera House was
probably the best attended and the room
was filled to the doors. Bishop Hurst pre-
sided and Rev. Claudius B. Spencer, OF Den
Evangelical Genius and Fervor." He said
that what the church needs is more men
on the firing line and less in the hospital.
Methodist Philanthropy" was discussed
by DR.. Frank Mason North. of New York
city, who said that kindness is one part Of
the fruit and spirit, and philanthropy is
organized kindness. Philanthropy has suf-
fered in the church because the church was
poor when it was started and because hu-
manitarianism was feared by the founders
of the church as a menace TO worship, in
that II might become a substitute.
Miss Henrietta Bancroft, of Washington.
D. c., spoke on the same subject. She said

temperance which surrounds US at the bal

people poured in until, fifteen minutes after
the services opened. there were 1900 people
present. The Salvation Army was repre-
sented and the meeting was so conducted
that each one could do as he pleased. Any
one was privileged to start the singing and
at times two hymns were being sung at the
same time. Everybody sang and there was
10 leader Short prayers and testimonies
were given. but song seemed to be the fav-
orite method of expressing worship, and
many of the testimonies were drowned by
the starting of a hymn. Those sung by the
colored people seemed the most unfamiliar.
and one colored woman sang an entire verse
alone. The testimonies varied. Some were:
.I want to stand UP for Jesus" "On the
way to heaven by way of Iowa." I'm from
Illinois and happy on the way" I'VE know
Him in Missouri" AN Illinoisan by birth,
an Ohoan by residence, child of the King
by adoption" when the roll is called down
here, I'm there" A Chicago delegation, in
unison, said: Chicago, saved up to date"
One old gentleman objected because he
could not hear the speakers and said: If
these people were at picnic, you could
hear two-thirds of them across>a forty-acre
lot"
The meeting was conducted from the
ground and the platform was unoccupied.
1t was an old-fashioned Wesleyan Methodist
meeting and lasted until 1880.
IN THE HALL.
Over a thousand worshipers were in Tom
linson Hall when Rev. H. NJ. Dubose. of
Nashville, Tenn, opened the meeting at
$50. He urged the delegates to be prompt in
telling how they love the Lord and they
were. Testimonies were given thick and
fast and the leader was kept very busy
saying Amen" An Illinois said he
found Christ in Chicago" whereat the
others present laughed uproariously. When
the laughter had subsided little, one man
shouted: Then the Lord Jesus did go to
Chicago"
One delegate said he was on his way to
heaven from Canada, and another one said
II was born in Kentucky forty years ago.
/ was born in Kentucky fourteen years ago,
and / expect to go to heaven from Ken
lucky" AS in the other meetings, there was
much singing and many of the testimonies
were cut short by the starting of hymn.
OPERA HOUSE MEETING.
The meeting in English's Opera House did
not open until fifteen minutes after the an

Rev. Thomas j. Pate. of Camden, n. j., to

it was doubted twenty years ago that wom-

Present Sunday-school Achievements
was discussed by Rev. Frank Gary, Of Cal
weston. Tex. He said the Sunday schools
must furnish recruits for the army. which
is constantly battling against sin. The Sun
day school goes into the garrets and the
slums. and those who have no ambitions are
inspired with worthy ideals. The fostering
care of the Sunday schools has proved to
be blessing. The last speaker was Rev.

Strangely Cured of Stuttering.

The curious freaks the Mauser bull
let has performed in its coursings
through the systems of fighting Amer
leans in the late wars have resulted in
some queer tales. The latest is the
experience Of Private II. E. Redmond,
Company @, First Colorado Volunteer
Infantry, who, when he enlisted,
suffered so badly that the recruiting
officer came near leaving him off the
rolls. Private Redmond was wounded
in the battle of Mariquina, in the Phil
ippines, on March 81. Now his wound
is healed and he shutters no more.
A Mauser bullet struck him in the
face, passed diagonally downward
through his mouth and made its exit
near the back of the neck. 1t was
considered frightful wound by the
surgeons, but Redmond proceeded to
recover even faster than patients with
less painful injuries. Now all that can
be seen of the wound is a small, livid
spot to the left of the nose and above
the upper lip. Redmond chews hard
tack with the greatest zest and tells
stories he has not been able to finish
in years on account of his halting
speech. He insists that the Mauser
bullet carried away his vocal impede
ment.
