CHARLEY KNADLBR WRITES.

CHAftLEl hNADlLf0h HIlES
NJ. F. Knadler also received a letter
by the same mail from his son, Charles
F. From this letter The Republican is
granted the privilege a quoting as fol-
lows:
i received your letter on the ninth,
just after hearing bullets passing my
head. We were at Cavfte one month
and two days and moved back TO Manila
on February 4th, reaching there about
/ O'Clock and went into bamboo bar
ricks. About s o'clock there was heavy
firing. The insurgents had been driv-
ing our outposts back and on the night
of the 4th they tried to capture a cor
.poral and his guard. A few days before
General Otis gave orders that if the
black devils tried it again to fire, and
on the night of the 4th the outpost
started from the Nebraska regiment
and the shot was fired which started the
battle. All night long we were held al
u arms, and at daybreak we had
breakfast, filled our haversacks with
200 rounds OF bullets and ait about 8
O'Clock started for the firing line. From
the jump we fought fire six or seven
miles in a skirmish line. We would
u forward about twenty or thirty
rods and then drop. We kept this up
for several miles and drove the black
devils out of the best breast works you
ever saw. All that might we were on
patrol. Companies C, G and H started
with the First CALIFORNIA; and Fe went
to an old church beyond the fire line
and posted a patrol along the river.
After posting the sentries, thirty Of US
loaded our guns and went into the old
church. We lit two candles, cooked our
guns and started to search the place.
1t was some of the most daring work
that l ever saw. After searching the
church We put guards at all of the win
dows and doors and then waited until
morning. At daybreak we began a
more thorough search and found in one
room thousands Of rounds of ammu-
milton, big cans Of powder and an old
cannon. After the search was compiet-
ed, W. went down to the river, where
we stole chickens, eggs, sugar and a
big pig. While doing this we were
shot at. A corporal, Johnny Lohleir,
Charley Brands and myself then ran
up to the church. In my left hand were
eight chickens, while the other boys
carried the pig. We went to the church
and General King gave us orders to
shoot every black devil we saw, and
maybe you think we didn't plug at
them.
We stayed at the church until Tues
day morning and then came into town
for a nights rest. The next morning
we started out again for the water
works. We now have the insurgents
all punched up. They say the Ameri-
cans do not fight fair, because when we
started Ito fight Sunday we never stop
ped, but drove them out of their
trenches and vent after them right.
Well. as everything is quiet now I
think in the next letter, If everything
is still quiet and the regulars have ar
rived. we can tell when we will start
ON u way home. When we enlisted
we thought it was for only one war, but
instead of that We have gone through
the Spanish war and are now going
through one much harder. The natives
are like the Indians, only worse. They
have five different tribes in the Philip
pines and they have all kinds of dag
gers, old knives and machetes.

CAPT. DAGGETT ExONERATED.
Steamboat Inspectors AcGuit Him of
Blame for Ferryboat Collision.

Steamboat Inspectors AcGuit Him of
blame for Ferryboat Collision.
Capt II. c. Daggett has been exonerated
by the Board of Steamboat Inspectors IN
New York from all blame for the recent
sinking Of the ferryboat Chicago through
collision with the steamship City of Au-
gusta of the Savannah Line. The decision
was rendered yesterday morning by In
spectors Petrie and Barrett
A telegram announcing the decision was
shown 10 Gen. James A. Dumont, super
visiug inspector general of steam vessels,
who was in the city with Supervising In
spector cast. Gen. Dumont was familiar
with the official reports of the accident
made by the masters of the two steamers
and said that he was not al all surprised
at the result of the investigation. AS The
head of the steamboat service before
whom the decision Of the New York Board
Of Inspectors will come, Gen. Dumont
could say nothing further until he has
fully reviewed the matter
The decision was no surprise to Capt.
Daggetts friends In Savannah, who have
been confident all along that he was right
and the result is source of congratula-
ton 10 them. Local steamboat men who
are familiar with the navigation rules said
from the start, after reading the reports
VI N4AS tNo OALAttiS uidtit " the view
inspectors, that the master of the ferry
boat was to blame.
Capt. Daggett is expected to resume
command of the City of Augusta on her
arrival in New York, and will bring her
down on her next trip to Savannah.
Capt. Smith of the Nacoochee, which is
now under repairs, has been in command
Of the Augusta since the collision.
An Associated Press says the New York
local inspectors report, fled with Super
vsing Inspector Starbuck holds that the
collision was entirely due to want of care
and to negligence on the part of William
Durham, pilot In charge of the ferryboat
Chicago, in not keeping a proper lookout
and trying to cross the bow of the steam
ship City of Augusta in violation of rule
II of the pilots rules. The license oil
Capt. Durham was suspended for period
of six months

HENRY j. wINKERs DEAD.


Mr.. Henry ]. Winkers, manager of the
Anheuser-B Busch Brewing Association, died
suddenly last night at his residence. at
Duffy and Lincoln streets. He went 10
his home about noon, complaining of feel
ing i'll. He was attended by his physician
DR.. r. h. Harris, and, although i'll, did
not appear to be in any immediate dan
ger. He grew rapidly worse last night
and died at 1855 o'eock. The cause of
death was acute Brights disease.
Mr. Winkers death was quite shock to
the members of his family, as it will be
to his friends and acquaintance, TO most
of whom this viii be the first informa ion
of his death. The deceased was native
of Richmond, Va, having been born there
in 1859. He came TO Savannah when IS
years Of age and was In the employ of va
rious firms, representing at one time sew
eral large Northern houses. He was for
several years boolSkeeper of the Savannah
Brewing Company and more recently
filled the same position with the Savan-
nah agency of the Anheuser-Busch Brew
ing Association. Mr.. Charles Dali, for
several years the agent of the latter com
pany at Savannah, died somewhat unex-
pectedly about three months ago, and Mr.
Winkers was promoted TO the position OF
agent.
Having been engaged in business in sa-
vannah steadily for over twenty years, Mr..
Winkers was generally wei known. He
was possessed Of considerable musical tai.
ent and had been connected with various
choirs of the city. He was member OF
the Sacred Heart Church and took an ac-
tive interest In its affairs, being a mem
Der of the choir at the time of his death.
Some years Mr.. Wlnkers married Miss
Carrie e. Delaney, a sister of Messrs. A.
S. and J. Z. Delannoy. who survives him.
Besides his widow he leaves four children,
two sons and two daughters. The funeral
will take place from the residence at Duffy
and Lincoln streets, at $3.50 o'clock this
afternoon

IN THE PHILIPPINES.
A Young Soldier Writes His Girl of
the Situation There.


A young man. who was with the United
States troops at Savannah last winter, but
who Is now in Manila with the signal
corps, has written a letter to the girl no
left behind him here, in which, besides
urging her to write, ne makes some state
ments with regard to the situation in the
Philippines which are of interest, as they
coroborate similar statements to the same
effect already made by the newspaper cor
respondents in the Philippines.
The Morning News is permitted to use
part of the letter. The young lady, of
course, does not wish her name given, and
IL the young mans name should appear it
might be worse for him, should the paper
fall into the hands of his commanding Of
ficer than If he should fall into the hands
of Aguinaldo.
The letter is written from Pasig, Oct. 10,
and is, In part, as follows:
Fighting is on in all its fury. and even
from where / am I can hear the volley
hring. We have now to commence over
again and fight for ground once won.
Aguinaldos headquarters are at Tarlac,
but in some places his troops are as close
to Manila as six miles. Fighting goes on
now day and night. Every little engage
ment a man or two is killed and several
wounded, but you can never tell to GER
talnty how many Filipinos you kill, for If
they have any time at all they carry away
their dead and wounded. However, our
men have counted few hundred in the
past few days that Will never touch a gun
again.
The policy of the man In power here
Is past understanding. You drive the en-
envy out of a certain part of the country
and then retire and rest and leave the
niggers to come back and take possession
and get ready to fight us again. Oh, how
1 would like to write a letter to your Sa-
vannah paper and roast certain people,
but / dare not, for I would have to give
my name and the consequences would be
a courtmartia for me for daring TO criti-
else a certain policy now carried out by
one who should be shipped home on the
first transport The men are here, the
facilities are here to wipe the insurgents
off the earth, and the campaign would end
with lhe entire subjugation of the insur-
gents If Lawton, a Wheeler or Mac
Arthur were given the reins and the au-
thority. I believe when I say this / am
only voicing the sentiments of the whole
army now in the Philippine Islands, who
are only too willing to fight and end the
thing forever"
1t would appear from the young mans
letter that the condition of affairs in the
Philippines is pretty much the same as
when the correspondents sent out their
round robin some three months since, and
that his estimate of his chief and the lead
ing generals under him Is pretty much the
same as that entertained by many people
in this country.

AN ENGINE HOUSE NEEDED.
Residents East of the Park Exten-
sion Would Like to Have One.

Residents East of the Park EXteh-
sion would Like to Have One.
The petition of members of the Warins
family to Council to carry out an agree
meut made by the city some years ago for
establishing a fire engine house on Wald-
burg street, east, in consideration of the
dedication of a lot of land by the Warning
estate for the purpose, meets with the
general approval of residents of the mid
die eastern section of the city
This section is almost entirely built up
now, with the exception of a few lots
east of East Broad street The nearest
fire engines are those on Barnard street,
near Huntingdon and Henry street, near
Bull. One advantage of a fire engine IN
this locality would be that it would give
additional protection to the recently de-
Veloped section known as Collinsville, as
we'll. as TO the thickly settled residence
district east of the park.
Alderman Dixon, who is a member OF
the Fire Committee, said that he would
favor granting Inc request but for the
fact that the committee has not the funGs
to do 50. Il think that sect on should
have additional fire protection" said A.
derman Dixon.
Alderman Haas, chairman of the Fire
ing of Council Wednesday night, and said
he had not yet looked into the matter.
SIT Will be a very simple matter to pro-
vide the engine" said Supt. Mcguire, when
spoken to about the matter I'VE have
two reserve engines, and it would not be
very expensive to fit one Of them for regu-
lar service This is not where the shoe
pinches. To man an engine and hose reel
requires nine men. Counting the one paid
man at the house of Volunteer Hose No
l, we should still have to employ eight
new men. The fire department was re-
Gently reduced three men, so that we are
short-handed now and could not spare
men from the other engine houses for
Waldburg street. The cost of horses and
equipment would also have to be consid-
cred"
Supt. Mcguire said that the hose COM
pany had occupied its present quarters for
the last twelve years and probably longer.

AGAIN NO LEoNIDs SEEN
1T IS PASSED UP TO ASTRONOMERS
FOR EXPLANATION.

Was Thought Last Night Might Pos
sibIy Bring the Shower of MeteOrs.
Such Was Not the Case-There
Seemed Fewer Than Either Tues
day or Wednesday Night-Earth
Got But Little star Dust From Its
Passage Through Temples Comets
swarm of Meteors-Believed 1t
Must Have Struck a Weak spot in
the Bunch-Thirty-Thre Years
Must EIapse Before There Is An
other Chance.
The earth accumulated no great guam
THY of star dust during its passage
through che meteors that accompany Tenn
pers comet in it's orbit. Astronomers will
be busy for the next few days explaining
it all and trying to tell just how it hap
pened that the predicted display of flying
Leonids proved so tame. Nobody saw
enough to repay for the trouble of watch
ing, and many a eraned and aching neck
will lend its complaint against whatever
it was that tended to change the antict-
pated rain of meteors into fiasco.
Last night was no better than Tuesday
and Wednesday night. 1t was thought
not unlikely that there might have been
some slight discrepancy between calcula-
tons or approximations and realities, IN
which event the Leonids might have been
delayed day or so beyond the time pre-
dicted for their appearance. If such was
the case, however, there was no proof of it
gained by those who sat up until an early
hour this morning in the hope of seeing
the heavens ablaze with the promised
visitors.
Interest in the meteors was keen for
awhile. Tuesday night there were many
who sat up in the hope of seeing them. The
following night there were even more, for
1t was thought certain the Leonids would
then put in an appearance, as they had
failed the night before. But the suppo-
sition was erroneous, for fewer were seen
than the night before. Tuesday night there
were eighteen observed by the members Of
the Camera Club from the roof of the De
Soto. Wednesday night there were but
twelve counted in all. The watch was
| not continued last night, but had it been
it is quite probable there would not have
been so many counted. Several minutes
close observation last night failed to de-
scry a single Leonid or any other sort of
meteor, and there was no other conclusion
than that the earth must have struck a
hole in the collection of meteors and push
ed its way through without many of them
| consuming themselves by their own energy
| in its atmosphere.
The promise of the Leonids was GER
tainly not sustained. The games of hide
and seek the members of the Camera
| Club played with them resulted in points
| for the Leonides. Watchers missed 1t
nightly and trey win now have to wait
| another generation of time before they
! get a chance to again see the Leonides.
! The earth may then strike a cluster of
the wanderers through interstenar space,
| thereby duplicating the display of 1888,
when the supersdtious were quite posi-
| tive that there was dire portent in the
| failing of the many meteors.

POLITICS OVER IN MONTGOMERY.
The Judgeship and soIicitOrship
Race Getting Lively.


Col. G.. b. Whatley returned yesterday
from Mt Vernon, where he has been since
Monday attending the fall session of the
Montgomery Superior Court. There was a
very heavy docket, both civil and crimi-
nal.
In addition to the usual horse-swapping
side show, the political pot, Col. Whatley
says, is beginning to boil quite furiously
in the race for the positions for judge and
solicitor of that circuit, the present in
cumbents being among the number who
have announced themselves Montgomery
county is fast taking her position among
the wealthiest in the upper wiregrass sec
ton.
There Is also considerable agitation as
to removing the Court House Ii seems
only a question of a short time that a
new Court House will be an absolute ne
cessity, with the constantly increasing
growth of population and consequent ltd
cation, and the chances are that either
the railroad station, Mt. Vernon or Alley
will be the new county seat with the
odds now apparently in favor of the lat
fer.
