horse exhausted. Aguinaldo, it ap-
pears, rested a short time, seemed anx
ious, consulted with his companions
aud the villagers as to the nature of
the reads, secured fresh horses and
proceeded Immediately toward Manga
la Bayambang. The corporal tells a
straight story, giving minute details.
Officers and soldiers arriving at Ca
hanatuan from General LaWton's force
describe the campaign as one Of great
hardship. Many men dropped sick and
were left at various towns without ade'
quate supplies and attention, come OF
them making their way back across
the terrible roads. A number of horses
were dying and many Of the soldiers,
and even some of the officers, were
marching on, half naked, their clothes
having been town to pieces in getting
through the j 1ngles. Some Of them
were reduced TO breech cloutg and hun
dreds we're b~arefooted, their shoes be
ing worn out, and all were living on
any sort of provisions. Bread was
rare and carabo meat and bananas
were the staples.

Transfer of His Home to His Wife
Brings Him Unexpected Trouble.

Transfer of His Home to His Wife
Brings Him Unexpected Trouble.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Admiral
Dewey, in conversation with a L2ffan
representative tonight, expressed
keen regret. indignation, sorrow and
resentment at the manner in which
the American people received the in
formation of the transfer OF his house
to his wife. He said she only accepted
on condition that the house, together
with her private fortune, should ulsi
mateIy pass to his son George. He
said he thought that in transferring
his home to his wife he was doing the
most generous act an American ger
tleman could do. He had never in.
tended to let the house go outside of the
family. He said he never believed it
possible that the American people,
who a few weeks ago treated him as a
hero, could shower such abuse on him.
He declared that he never would have
accepted the house il he knew it would
cause so much trouble.
Dewey's voice was checked with emo
ton, and at times tears streamed down
his cheeks.
q DEWEY HOUSE AGAIN
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-John r. Nc
Lean announced to day that papers
transferring the Dewey home from
Mrs. Dewey to the Admiral's son,
George Good win Dewey, had been
drawn up and would be placed on
record Immediately. 1t is the general
opinion that this is the result Of uni
versal criticism Of the admiral's &C
ton in giving the house to his wife.
This afternoons papers here are
filled with protests against the trans
fer OF the house to Mrs. Dewey.

to the President.
MALTA, Nov. 25.-General Wheeler
has decided not to return for Con.
gregs. He is writing a letter to Presi-
dent Mckinley with a request that it
be forwarded to the House of Repre-
sentativas. In the course of an inter
view with a correspondent of the Asso.
ciated Press, he said:
Congress, if it occupies the first
day Of the session in passing a resolu.
ton declaring in I'M i stakable terms
that the sovereignty Of the United
States is to be maintained in the Phil
ippines, thus dispelling AguinaIdo's
delusion that the anti-imperialists can
assist him, will be performing a sacred
duty. Such a resolution would save
the lives Of many American soldiers
and Of thousands of deluded Filipinos;
would avert famine, suffering and des-
olation from these ielands, and would
render unnecessary the expenditure of
hundreds of millions Of dollars"

hibited by Prominent Natives.
HAVANA, Nov. 22.-General Collszo,
in a letter to Cuban Representative
Quesada at Washington, says it is i'm
portsnt that Quesada should know
the true state of affairs in Cuba, as he
is in the place where her future will be
decided. He declares thai there ia an
utter lack of work and there are no
means TO develop the country. He
says that the existing regime Of the
two standards Of justice-one Ameri.
can and the other Cuban-ls insup-
portable. He accuses the Americans
Of ingrAtitude to the Cuban army, and
says that their unexpected triumph
has intoxicated them and they forget
the actual facts and even occurrences
in which they, themselves, partici-
pated.
The Patria accuses Americans OF ex
ercislng sovereign rights.
The Nuevo Paris says the question
of independence will be deferred to q

THRsrATe NORMAL CLOSED.

The Progressive Farmer was the
first paper, daily or weekly, to report
the closing of the State Normal. But
we were unable to give details in our
last issue. It seems that the fever cases
numbered about fifty.
The Greensboro correspondent of the
Raleigh Post says:
tine knowledge that there was ty-
phoid fever at the college came az a
surprise to everybody. tt was known
that there had been a good deal Of
sickness at the institution during the
past fortnight, but it vas not until
Saturday that there was positive
diagnosis that any of the girls had ty-
phoid fever.
Immediately after this diagnosis
was made, D.. McIver, president Of
the college, announced the presence Of
typhoid fever to the student body, and
informed the students that any Of them
wishing to do so might return home.
"Since that time Miss Abbie D 9aD,
of Wilson, died Saturday, and Miss
CaId we'll, the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. F. Oald we'll, of Davidson College,
died yesterday. Both had typhoid fe-
YER. The death OF Miss Caldwell was
peculiarly sad. She was the only child
of her parents who arrived here jIst
in time to see her die.
THE Normal has now decided to
suspend until January 1st."
The cause of the epidemic seems to
have been defective sewerage. Prof
W. f. Massey, one Of the Investigating
committee, in an interview last week,
said the persons who did the plumbing
there could be sued for criminal negli-
gence, and intimated that there might
be suits. Hs said his daughter had ty
phoid fever, and so did other sick stu,
dents; that talk about it's being mala-
rial fever was all stuff. He says that
the plumbers, being short Of iron pip
ing, used twelve feet Of terra Gotta
pipe, from water closets, and that a
steam pipe ran directly over this sewer
pipe, over soil saturated with se Werage,
making it an ideal breeding place for
germs. He says he never saw greater
criminal carelessnese.
The latest news ia to the effect that
all the sick students are improving.
No other deaths were reported last
week.

D BROKEN UP.
Filipino Government Now Little More
Than . Name.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 24.-In a dis
patch received by Adjutant General
Oorbin this morning, Major General
Otis announces the practical ending
of the Aguinaldo insurrection. The
dispatch is as follows:
"a claim to government by insur-
gents can be made no longer under any
fiction. Its treasurer, secretary of the
interior and president Of the congress
are in our hands; it's president
and remaining cabinet officers are in
hiding, evidently in different central
Luzon provinces; its generals AID
troops in small bands are scattered
through these provinces, acting as
banditti or dispersed, playing the role
of amigos with arms concealed.
Indications are that Aguinaldo did
not escape through the lines of
Lawton or Wheaton, but fed west
ward from Bayambang railway sta
ton. Telegraphic commune ton
from Dagupan was established prot
ably to San Fabian to-day. By relay
ing nine miles Of track with material
at hand, railway communication to
that point is re-established."

OFFICE CONTEST CASKS DE-.
CIDRD,

Abbott, Republican, Succeeds Bedding
heid on Corporation Commission old
School Boards Win.
The Supreme Court last week de-
clded a number OF important cases.
Abbott succeeds B 3ddingfeld as a
member Of the Corporation Commits
sion.
The members of the old county
school boards of education, all fusion
lists, elected under the act Of 1897, were
declared the legal county school off =
GERS instead Of the boards Of school
directors created by the General As
sembly of 1899.
Theophilus White, Populist, was re-
instated as shell fish commissioner,
succeeding Chief Inspector Hill, Dam-
ocrat, who was elected by the legisla-
ture of 1899.
Mccall, Republican, was declared
solicitor Of the Western criminal dis
trict, save in the counties which the
Legislature Of 1899 added to the dis
triCt.
Judge Clark dissented in the decis
ions OF the court in the above cases.
Two opinions are summarized as fol
lows by Joseph L Seawell:
Abbott, appellant, vs. Bedding6eId,
from Wake, reversed. Under the pro.
visions Of the act of 1891, establishing
the railroad commission, Abbott was
elected a member of said commission
in 1897 for a term of six years, and
was indicted into Office. Chapter 500.
of the laws of 1899, repealed the act of
1892, and chapter 1874 of the laws OF
1899, established the corporation COM
mission and uuder the provisions of
the last named act Bsdding6eld was
elected . member of said commission
and indicted into Office to succeed
Abbott, who was ousted., Held, that
chapter 500 laws of 1899, having abo.-
ished only the name and not the duties
and functions Of the Office, the plaintiff
was unla Wfully ejected therefrom.
Green, appellant. va, Owen, from
Davidson. The contending parties in
this case are members of the county
board OF education created by the act
Of 1897, and members OF the county
board Of school directors, created by
the act of 1899. The COURT held, as in
the foregoing cases. that the act Of 1893
cannot divess of Office the members OF
the former county board of education
who were appointed prior to the pass
age CT said act, but where one Yves ap-
pointed a member of the county board
Of education under the provision of the
act Of 1897, after the passage Of the act
OF 1899, which created the county board
Of school directors, such appointee can
not hold as against one appointed I'M
der the provisions Of the last named
act. The court says: IAN $8 Office
does not necessarily involve only an
IS principle and even il it does the
court will not in such case adhere
strictly to the maxim: De minimit

IN a TRANsVAAL.

In the Transvaal last week, with the
exception of q few skirmishes, moth
ing Of interest t%ranspired. An en-.
gagement occurred Thur day, which
the British claim was a victory for
them. The enemy, says the British
General, Methuen, fought with Cour-
age and skill, but the English victory
was complete. Many Beers were
killed and wounded aud forty prison
ers we're taken, together with a large
number of horses and COWS. He says
that he also de stroyed a large amount
Of ammunition. He adds that the
British loss vas three officers and fifty
five men killed. twenty two officers
and one hundred and twenty-eight
wounded and eighteen missing.
Another correspondent says: There is
clearly much to be learned yet regard
ing the value of Methuen's victory. 1t
is not kno wn whether the British re-
manned in possession of the captured
position. The destruction of ammu-
nition suggests that they did not, and
missing men is possibly a further indi.
cation Of inability to hold the position.
General Methuen, had 1000 men
opposed Beers from Boshof, Jak.
obsdale and Fauresmith, numbering
5000. TIE B0ers had placed their can.
non in excellent position, and made a
stubborn resistance. Their artillery
fire was very affective. The British
infantry carried q position at the point
Of the bayonet, which had been ocCu.
pied by the Beers for weeks. The
Daily Mail correspondent says the vic
tory would have been more decisive
il the British had had more cavaIy, as
many Beers escaped eastward and were
not pursued. This correspondent
places the British losses at 200 and
says the wounded are doing we'll. He
adds that the prisoners say that yes
terday's attack was a surprise, and
that it was the only defeat they have
received. He says the Der less is un-
known,

THE TEST THAT TELLS.
You Can Get all the Convincing Proof You
Want by Reading Augusta Papers.

When the reader wants any article OF
value he naturally prefers to deal with
something he can depend upon.
If mixed up in any law suit, a good
responsible lawyer is generally the first
necessity sought.
If lost on the prairie, directions from
n settler could be relied upon, those
from 4 stranger would be doubted.
1t follows in the realm of proprietary
articles that Augusta people would
naturally select that one article which
has cured some neighbor, people they
know, people who can be seen, spoken
to and questioned about the results
The only proprietary article which
gives this positive proof is the one en-
dorsed by.
