Four Armies Nay be Operated In
stead of One.

Washington, Aug. 20-The maps
of the Philippines, and especially OF
that portion of the island of Luzon
north and south of Manila which
have been prepared for the use Of
Secretary Root may assume a more
important part in the coming cam
paign than has been given it hither-
to. Secretary Root has not only
ascertained where the United States
troops are located, and has them
nicely marked off on the map but
be has also taken into consideration
such information as can be obtained
relative to the population Of the ad-
jacent country, the kind Of people
and their disposition toward the
United States. The secretary has
also been studying the lines Of trans
portation and learning what he can
ef the geography cf the country.
Il is believed that more than one
army can operate to advantage IN
the Philippines, and the suggestion
has been made by some army officers
that an army should start from d!f-
ferent points and operate in such a
manner as to distract and destroy
the Filipino forces. At present the
United States forces do not occupy
the line of railway half way to Linga-
yen, on the gulf of the same name.
1t has been suggested that if one
force were to start from Lingayen
and move south at the same time
that another were moving north,
there would be very great proba-
bility of soon securing the entire
railway for the use of the army and
the insurgents would be separated
into divisions east and west by the
railroad, as they are now divided into
northern and southern bands. Be-
tween Angeles and Lingayen is lar
lie, town of considerable size and
situated in province where the na-
t:ves are said to be unfliendly to the
Uaited States. If this province
could be occupied it might be OF
great advantage to the government.
While these are now merely sug-
gestions it may be that when the
army in the Philippines consists OF
10000 men, instead of about 10000
or 25,0o0, it will be possible to have
four or more armies operating IN
stead of two as during the last cam
paigp.
The locations Of troops as marked

Secretary Root show the places oc
cupied as follows:

Echoes frcm the Leesvil.e Meeting


To the Editor Of the DiSpatci:
Col. Tulbert is reported to have
commended his friend DR.. Stokes to
the people in bis speech at Leesv!l!e.
This is dangerous practice. Sup
pose Judge Buchanan who was
Attorney General at a time when
Senator Tillman was Governor were
to be brought out against DR.. Stokes
as is now reported, would it not be
most natural for Senator Tillman
to commend his old Lieutenant to
the people CT this Congressional Dis
trict?
We do not say that Senator Till
man would do so. We think he has
too much judgment to express bis
feelings in this way, yet if the prac,
tice begun by Col. Tolbert were to
become prevalent this very thing
might be possible.
Col. Tolbert made a speech at
Leesvil]e. So did DR.. Stokes. Does
Talbert really desire to oppose Sen
ator Tillman for re. election? If not
what does be mean by making
political speeches outside OF his Con-
gressional district? Ben Tillman is
still alive and about the liveliest thing
afoat. He is kept informed of what
goes on and is wide awake.
Senator Tillman "whooped up the
boys" at Sumter. He referred to the
celebrated Morris raid and declared
he remembered how the C)nstables
were treated py the people OF Oumter
on that occasion. He said his officers
were all good men and he paid a
tribute to their character, ability and
courage. It will be remembered that
Attorney General (now judge Ba-
chanan obtained an Injunction to
search for and seize the liquors Of
blind tigar kept by Morris. He
gave it to the officer, after seizing the
the premises and liquors, some ten
or twelve barrels, the Constables
were driven off by mob. General
(now Judge) Buchanan healing Of
it at his hotel, gathered up some OF
the Constables, led then back to the
place and made them retake the
liquor which was there kept.

the last twelve months. The league
has II higher officials and So clerks. It's
income was Sal, 700 marks. The coop
erative society Of the league for sup
plying manure, seed, ETC., had total
turnover amounting to 5022, 800 marks.
Last year new section of the cooper
alive society for the sale of machinery
had been instituted. After some dis
cussion on various matters resolu-
congratulated itself upon the alleged
return of the government to the COM
mercial policy Of the late Prince Bis
marck, and its adoption of the princi-
pies which the league had persistently
maintained. The resolution further de-
clared that the league not only expect
ed from the government the protection
of national industries and interests as
against foreign competition, but also
desired that the producing classes of
the population should be protected
against the influence at home of dear
money speculation and those great en-
terprises of capitalists which menaced
the existence of the artisan and shop
keeper class.

cared himself equal to the task He
took from his neck what looked like a
BIT of shrivelled stick, chewed it, sWal-
lowed some of it, spat out the rest on
his hands, and proceeded to rub his
glistening brown body and limbs all
over. Then, taking up his stick and
chanting a song of defiance, he advance
ed with great confidence and swagger
to the bowlder. There he reused up the
mamba, who, in great fury at being
disturbed, bit him in the lip. The boy
took no notice of the bite, but broke the
snakes back with his stick, and, bring
ing ii to his master, asked for the re-
ward, obtaining which he went back to
his work, and the bite of the reptile had
no effect on him whatever.
No bride, not even that of COW (bet-
ter than any gold in the eyes of KAT
fir), would induce this native to dis
close the secret Of his antidote, which,
he said, had been handed down in his
family for generations. The snake was
a very long one, and so old that 1t had
a name. 1t is well known fact that
certain of the Zulus have antidotes for
the more deadly snake poisons, which
they preserve as secret within their
own families.--F The London Spec

frills are set on below the knee, for
rustic and crnkle. An elaborate skirt
with frills lace insertions and festoon-
ing of ribbon, must be short enough to
clear the curb without being lifted. If
as short as that it is quite correct to
wear such a petticoat even under a
tailor gown A fancy petticoat long
enough to take injury from the street
is in the worst of taste when worn with
walking dresses.
Cashmere has had a long run of

reasonable and certainly this material

does not display any attempt at great
elaboration. The color of the stuff was
blue, and the skirt was of the simple
Spanish flounce sort. In the bodice
there was an attractive bolero sugges-
tion a yoke and vest of embroidered
white chiffon showing between the

were tucked, and the belt was white

have let us not repine. Let us be happy
and let us be gay, for we and the glacier

spiced here, and we have good under

A KAFFIR SNAKE STORY.

A road party, comprising the usual
gang of from fifty to sixty Kafflrs, with
a white man as superintendent, was
employed on the construction of road
in the Tugela Valley, Natal, about thir-
ty or more years ago. In the course Of
their work they came to huge stone
which 1t was necessary to remove, but
beneath it was the home of large
black mamba, well known to the neigh
boring inhabitants as being old, and
therefore very venomous. The mamba
is the most deadly Of the South African
snakes, and the superintendent antici-
pated some trouble over that rock. He
offered bride for the snakes skin and
the gang "wow'dp' and sat down 10
"bema gwl' (take snuff. But slim
youth sauntered forward, and, amid the
jeers and protestations of the rest, de-
