Very Few FilipinOs Feel Friendly
Toward Americans.
NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-The Herald
correspondent at Hongkong telegraphs as
follows:
The censorship in the Philippines con-
tinues unchanged. 1t is political instead
of military The only friendly natives
found on my southern tour were those at
Moros, who so far are unwilling that We
should hold any territory except the single
walled town of Jolo. Even the non-com-
batants hate us. In Manila the native
feeling against us is growing stronger ev-
ery day. Taxes are higher in Manila than
under Spanish rule, and the inhabitants
bitterly complain. Living expenses have
doubled.
The native police have been discharged
and Americans appointed. whose admins
tration is tyrannical and inefficient because
they are ignorant of the language and not
familiar with the perpetrators of crime
Murders and robberies, old inhabitants say,
are more numerous than ever before. Taxes
and custom duties are being used to sup
mort the army instead of being applied to
municipal necessities This really pro-
longs the war by keeping the natives ir-
ritated, after high sounding promises of
good government. Information concerning
recent losses Oh the eHeIhs 10 puieiy neai :
say, obtained from frightened natives.
The desire of the natives for American
rule officially reported is not borne out by
the facts. The mayor of Baliuag who is
supposed to be great friend OF the Amer
leans, is now in prison for deliberately
leading an insurgent attack on Baliuag.
The mayor of San Pedro Macate is also
in prison for raising money and soldiers
| for insurgents. We must show sufficient de-
monstration in force to quickly and ef-
| fectively lick the whole people or our
selves give in. No half way measures will

LINCOLN. Neb. Aug. 29.-The First Ne
braska Regiment arrived in Lincoln this
afternoon. The real disbandment takes
place here although a part goes to Omaha
to attend reception.
Lieutenant Whedon arrived ahead OF MS
regiment. When asked regarding the va
rious reports concerning the feelings OF
the men toward their officers, he said, ne
believed that the regiment at heart had
confidence in General Otis and that the
men never tried to work at cross purposes
with their officers. In campaign wnere
food was scarce at times and hardships
numerous no soldier would be human not
to complain The complaints were never
such as to offset the discipline OF the men.
The regiment had, among other soldiers.
the reputation of being crack regiment
for discipline and this was put TO the test
on numerous occasions, when no one was
found wanting. The men are all wearing
buttons on which appears the picture oil

regiment will permit a word said against

We have never been critical of Leonard
Wood. but this time We shall have to chide
him severely. He refuses TO let General
Isodro Jiminez, the partner of his chief s
friend. come ashore from the steamer on
which he is roasting in Santiago harbor.
The excuse is that Jiminez is revolution
ary. and Wood is unwilling to let him re-
volve on land. This is wrong. The distin-
guished passenger is in effect the president
of the republic of Santo Smith NJ. Weedo-
mingo, duly and unanimously nominated
and elected at Hotel Champlain several
weeks ago. The collector OF customs at
Cienfuegos got himself in trouble by inter-
fering with Jiminez. The fact should carry
its own suggestion to the Governor of San

Porter, distributor of the funds in the
hands of the executors of the late Judge
James Gardner, president Of the defunct
bank Of Gardner, Morrow Comany, which
failed here for about 100000, filed his re-
port in court here. deciding all vital con-
tentions in favor of the bank creditors and
ordering that the executors be surcharged
$780, the amount of the note of Colonel
William Jack, and 20,S10.07 royalties re-
ceived from the Gardner stone quarries
since the death of Judge Gardner. The
auditor virtually decided that Judge Gard
ner's estate was a partner of the bank at
its failure and liable for its debts. If this
report is sustained by the court the bulk
of the Gardner estate, valued at from $50,
900 to 100000. will go to the bank credit

WILL MAKE A TRIAL THURSDAY
The Shamrock May Sail to Meet Sir
Thomas Upton.

Thomas Upton.
NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-It was announced
that the Shamrock will leave Robins ship
yard Thursday morning and will that day
take her first spin In American waters. Her
mainsail will be bent while the yacht is
being towed down the bay or after anchor
age in the Horseshoe
The exact plans of those in charge Of the
craft are not known, but it is believed that
the Shamrock will be off shore to meet her
owner who is due to arrive on the Campa-
mia on Friday. Mr.. Barrie yesterday re-
ceived the following cablegram, sent from
Queenstown:
am now sailing. Hope to have the pleasure Of
seeing you Friday. LlPIoN-
When the Shamrock is docked there will
be no secrecy about her underbody- II is
| not believed that Mr.. Fife desires to con-
tinue the so-caIled mystery which sur
| rounds her model. Sir Thomas Upton GER
tainly does not want it to go further.
| There was an abundance of work for the
| Shamrock's crew to do yesterday. 1t con-
sisted OF putting the rigging in place, and
though much was accomplished, there is
| still required two days labor to finish It,
| The topmast was early put on end, and a
| number of men went over the side TO rafts,
where they continued the cleaning of the
yachts upper body. preparatory to giving it
another coat Of paint
| The covering of the gaff. which was lying
on the dock, was taken of, showing long
| but apparently light spar. None of the
running rigging was in place up to late
| afternoon hour.
| Mr. Fife is anxious to avoid accidents.
This is shown by the putting in position OF
what may be called secondary or auxiliary
spreaders. They are in addition to the cr
| dinary spreaders, as seen on the Columbia
| and other large yachts, and are placed
| abreast of the jams of the gaff, or nearly
| so. These secondary spreaders are for the
purpose of relieving the mast of the great
| thrust of the gaff when the main sheet is
| Stacked off.
All large sloops have what is ordinarily
| called strut just over the gam, and IT is
for the purpose of relieving the mast OF
the thrust of the gaff when the yacht is
close hauled. The secondary spreaders,
therefore, are intended as an additional
protection to the mast The cap shrouds
for the auxiliary spreaders run clear of
those for the main spreaders.
It was noticed Sunday that much of the
standing rigging of the Shamrock is very
rough, and while it may be strong, the
work is not up to the practice of this coun-
try, and it evidently shows that it was
finished in a great hurry.
The lighter desired by the Shamrock peo-
pie for extra sails and spars has been char
| tered. The yachts shippers say that If
anything is carried away they want to be
ready to repair damages in one day. With
extra sails and spars at hand they are sure
of doing so. Big and little, the Upton feet
now numbers eight boats.

out of Office than they ever were prior to

of the Republican County Committee, who

administered the Dingley bill moderately
and has broken up a system of underyaiua-
| tion by which many millions OF dollars
| that belonged to the Treasury went into
| the pockets of a few importers who had the
requisite influence. incidentally it may be
said that Mr.. Bidwell was appointed COL
lector and Mr.. Wakeman appraiser as re-
| suit of an agreement between Senator Iiatt
and Mr. Bliss. Senator Platt wanted both
| offices, but had to yield. He also had to
yield in the matter Of the appointment OF
some assistant appraisers. The President
| wanted some textile experts recommended
and prominent men supported Messrs Car

| Platt protested, but they were appointed,
and Mr.. Cahart has been appraiser OF fancy
/ furs and wraps, Mr., Skillman OF woolens,
and Mr. Hartshorn of linens. The Repub-
| lican machine recommended Mr. Sherwood,
an expert on laces, and he was appointed.
Some of those men have been investigated
with the appraisers office.
Mr. Bliss was out of the city yesterday,
and Appraiser Wakeman said it would be
| improper for him to do much talking. He
expressed the opinion that Senator Platt
had been misled about the report. MI
Wakeman said in his opinion the report
| was not damaging to him, and he had
been permitted to read the report In order
to furnish the Treasury Department with
certain memoranda. These memoranda he
would furnish at the proper time.

Cotton Crop Predictions.
From he Savannah News.l

While Gotten men generally are looking for a
smaller crop of cotton for the season that is soon
to begin Mr.. Henry NJ. Neill, of New Orleans,
announces that the crop will be an exceptionally
good one, and that in volume il will equal, if il
does not exceed, the crop of the season now near
its close Mr.. Neill is about the only cotton man
who thinks that the crop will be large one. The
opinion prevails among cotton men quite gener-
aily that the crop has been badly hurt in several
of the States by the drought, worms, and rust
The Weld is being cut down also by shedding on
an extensive scale From what have seen in
the public prints the opinion among well-infornled
cotton men is that the crop viii be considerabl,
below that of the season about closing.

From the Savannah News.)


There is a very good prospect that the Savannah
Cotton MILL which has been idle for good many
months will again be placed in running condi-
tion both financially and mechanically. Steps are
now being taken to this end, and it is understood
that meeting will be called with this object in
view within the next few weeks The reason for
not taking action Immediately is that several
business men who are expected TO take an in
terest in the enterprise have not yet returned
from their vacations. No effort will be made to
secure public subscriptions in order to re-es-
tablish The enterprise, but it is expected that
several gentlemen of financial standing will get
together and reorganize the company, putting il
on a safe basis financially.

BOSTON, Aug 29.-E. Jenson, a Nor

of that place for the spread of his doctrine.
He has been warned that an arrest will
follow any attempt he may make to speak
on the Common, and Mayor Quincy has
revoked his permit. The mayor said that
when the permit was granted he did not
know that Jenson was Mormon.
While free speech is allowed on the Com

Insect Pests.

new enemy to the railroad has ap-
peared upon the scene-the potato bug.
For some reason or other railway trains
seem to have had great deal OF trouble
with insects during the present season.
Grasshoppers succeeded in stalling one
and caterpillars blocked another, early In
the summer. 1t is now reported that one
in Long Island has been held UP by po-
tato bugs.
They seemed to be going to New York
perhaps to attend the Dewey celebration
The potato bug is slow traveller, and IL
may be he thought it best to start for
the scene of the festivities early, so as to
be there to welcome the farmers from New
Jersey and make them feel at home. AT
any rate, a bug army started in that direc-
ton, by way of the railway track, SEEM
ing to have made the discovery which the
tramp made years ago, that il is easier to
walk on ties and rails than on sandy
or muddy road. There were billions OF
the insects When the next train came
along the wheels got tangled up in the
mass, and began to slide along the track.
The engineer and fireman secured brooms
and swept the track clear, to the great
amusement of the country folk, who are
used to such migrations.
This increase In the swarms of insects
which destroy crops is not new thing.
1t has been noticeable for the last ten OF
fifteen years Scientists say that it is
| largely due to the killing off OF native
birds, which formerly acted as police
| force to keep the insects in order. Some
of these birds have been shot for sport,
and some for cold, hard cash. The farmer
boy rarely goes cunning for sport. He
counts his day lost if he does not secure
either game for the table or carcass fol
which he can obtain money. In some Sec
tions of the country the agents of millinery
establishments and other business con-
Germs which use feathers in guam
| tity. have offered the boys a fairly
| good price for birds whose plumag,
can be used on hats. Hence the
massacre not only of song birds. but O
farmer, who must buy bug poison and
wage unrelenting war if he wishes to saw
his crop.
The time may come when this who'll
country will be something like a big de
partment store; when the West, with it
wide prairies and fertile soil, and tn
South, with its soft climate and cheal
labor, will produce food staples in bulk
while other and less productive parts O
the country are devoted to factory villages
and to the country homes and huntin
grounds OF the rich. In that case nativ
birds will probably be preserved, as the
are in European game parks; for the ric
man who owns q home in the countr
wishes TO have ii ornamented with birds
| squirrels, and all the other little liv
| things, which no one but himself shall b
allowed to shoot 1t seems as if the goo

tain without trouble-the protection @
