WADE HAMPTON BURNED OUT


A dispatch from Columbia, S. c.,
saws: Southern Cross, the home Of
Gen. Wade Hampton, was burned yes.
terday morning at 3 o'clock, the gen.
eral escaping with the loss of parts Of
his moustache, eyebrows and hair.
This house was built of brick taken
from the ruins of Hampton mansion,
burned when the Union army passed
through. 1t was erected by the gen.
erals slaves and has been the home OF
of himself and daughter since the war.
General Hampton aHoke and noticed q
light shining under his door. He at
first supposed the sun had risen, but
the light fickered so he strapped on
his cork leg and got to the door. He
found tho house in flames. He aroused
his daughter, who was still sleeping,
and some servants.
1t was too late to save anything OF
value except the swords of three gen.
erations of Hamptons. During the fire
General Hampton heard the cries of a
pet collie dog that he and his daughter
we're very fond Of 1t was in room
that was enveloped. Although over
eighty one years old, he made dash at
the door and opened it, WAS driven back
by the fire and again attempted to en-
ter, when the flames licked about his
face, burning Off the hair. The loss be
feels most keenly is his library, which
was probably the most valuable private
collection in the south. Six thousand
volumes were destroyed. A week or
two ago GenerallHampton detected
servant whom he had recently taken in
his employ stealing money, and dis
charged her. The woman's bad charac-
ter has since been established, and there
is little doubt that the house was set on
fire.

Expansions Cost Indicated.

Doctor McQuesten, until lately
health officer at Manila on the staff OF
General f. S. Otis but now invalided
by the climate and returned to this
country, says it will require "a force of
from 100. 900 to $50. 900 men to estab-
lish and maintain order in the Philip
pines.
According to the views of this I'M
doubleday well-posted authority, the
cost OF American expansion into the
Eastern Hemisphere will be appalling.
Even as the situation now stands. with
the United States Government forced
by the logic of it's act to assume the
responsibility o. policing the Philip
pines, the consequent sacrifice is GER
tain to be CHASTITY.
Our men cannot stand the climate"
says Doctor McQuesten. Fifty per
cent. of them will be Incapacitated by
sickness"
This fact, upon which Otis's former
staff officer repeatedly dwells, will re-
duire in the Philippines a far larger
force than would answer in a temper
ate climate. In the event of a perma-
nent holding of the islands a big
standing arny of occupation would be
imperative. Thousands of soldiers an
nually invalided by the deadly climate
would have TO be replaced by fresh
leyies of troops from the United States.
A continual and great sacrifice of
American life is the first and most GER
tain result of expansion to become ap-
parent.
II will be wise for the administration
IN face this fact, which has already
been recognized by the people. The
unamerican policy of expansion is con-
demned by the American people on
