TIRE OF TAGALos RULE.
Natives of Island of Samar Want
American Protection.

Washington, Sept. 14.-Mail advices
received at the war department from
Manila state that the natives of the
island of Samar are praying for the
speedy arrival of the Americans, and
will welcome the hosting of the Amer
lean flag.
1t is said that as result Of the for
chile collection of taxes by the ennis
saries of the insurgents, who take all
they have got, the natives are in a
state of semi starvation. They have
no faith in the Tagalos, and they ear
nestly desire American protection. An
insurgent leader, General Luzban, has
bodted to Japan, taking with him ST.
600 collected by him for the insurgents.
The agents of the insurgents endeavor
to force the natives to Join their
forces, which they will not do.
The condition of the island, it is as
serted, is rapidly approaching riot and
anarchy, as the heavy and continued
drag upon them in the form of tribute
exasperateS them, and they, the letter
says threaten desperate disturbance if
it continues.

Still Wears the Gray.
(The Columbian.l

Corporal James Tanner tells a new
story, an incident of recent visit to
Richmond on his way to the reunion OF
the confederate veterans.
You KNOW said he, that General
Robert q. Lee was recognized as a
Christian gentleman by the southern
soldiers, while on the other hand Cen
eral Jubal Early was quite a profane
man. Well, in Richmond 1 met a con-
federate veteran by the name of Tier
ney prosperous and energetic citizen,
who related to me an anecdote of a
northern friend. Bill who, when he
heard that Tierney was going to the
reunion in his old gray uniform, tried
to persuade him to wear a dark suit.
and offered to pay for it. Finally Tier
ney said:
50 Bill, you know there's lots of acct
dents on the railroad, and suppose 1
should get killed with anything but g
gray uniform on, it would go hard
against me when I reached the heaven
ly gate. The first one 1 would see
would be General Bob, and he'd greet
me with a smile that would at once
turn to frown and then he'd say:
"Tierney, I'm sorry to say it, but you
can't come in here, for you've gone back
on your colors." Then I'd turn away
and go to the other place, and the first
one to meet me would be Jubal Early.
Well, as soon as he caught sight of my
dark clothes he'd begin to swear if I
was three miles away-and anybody
could hear him that distance-so there'd
be no chance for me there Then whaJ
a predicament I'd be in, actually shuz
out from both placesi And here 1 an:
in the gray and you're in the blue"

company.
One platoon Of the company will be

Suppression of the Newspaper Re
concentrate, Published at Havana
Washington, Sept. 14.-Secretary Root
has approved the action of General
Ludlow in suppressing the Reconcen-
tTado, a paper formerly published at
Havana. After the paper had been
suppressed the publishers appeared in
Washington and protested to the Sec
rotary of war that the action of Cen
eral Ludlow was an infringement of the
rights of citizenship. The secretary
referred the whole matter to General
Brooke for report, who, in turn, re-
ferred it to General Ludlow. The re-
port of General Ludlow, endorsed by
General Brooke, has been received at
the war department, and Secretary
Root disposed of it with the following
endorsements:

have been a vile publication. Its sup

bound to protect the public in this as
well as other forms. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that the persons responsible for
the publication cannot be criminally
punished. The order Of General Lud-
low is approved and the petition is de-
