Whereas, These heroes were the first
to respond to the call of the president
for troops from idaho in the late war
with Spain and the first in the distant
Asiatic land TO lay down their lives for
the abiding glory of their homes and
their country, and the righteous con-
summation of q victory already nobly
achieved by the army and navy of the
United States, and.
Whereas, The said accounts~of the
casualties which distance has necessar-
lily abridged, are yet sufficient to indi-
cate beyond all doubt that American
soldiership has again challenged the ad-
miration of the world, and the gratu-
tude of the people OF the nation, with
a sense Of the deepest grief for the loss
of life, we are nevertheless proud of
such signal examples of patriotism and
bravery and commend to the everlast-

names and deeds of Major Edward Nc

ROBBED BY SOLDIERS
Macon, Georgia, Looted By An
Ohio Regiment.
COLONEL RESPONSIBLE
TOLD THE MEM TO HELP THEM
SELVES.
Officers of the Regiment Place the
Responsibility Upon the Com
manding Officer and He VIII
Probably Be Arrested-Carried
Goods Out of the Stores.

Macon, Ca, Feb 1O.-The merchants
and business men of Macon are highly
indignant tonight over the robberies
committed by members of the Second
Ohio regiment today as they were be-
ing mustered out of the service of the
United States. A large number of mer-
chants sent wagons loaded with mer-
chandise out to the camp, to sell to the
discharged soldiers. The colonel COM
manding ordered them to leave the
camp, and upon their refusal to do so,
ordered the men to Dilfer the wagons
The robberies committed by the men
did not end here, but they came TO
the city and, while under the influence
of whisky, went into several stores and
walked out with goods in full view OF
the amazed merchants. Several of them
We're arrested and, after turning over
the goods, were released.
This conduct was not general with the
members of the regiment. and is deeply
deplored by a large number of the bet
ter class of the men. A number OF OH
GERS of the regiment signed the follow
ing written statement:
THE officers and men of the Second
Ohio, with the exception of Colonel j.
A. Kuert. feel very much chagr1ned at
the outrage perpetrated this morning
upon several of your merchants at the
camp ground. They went as free Amer
leans, selling their goods and de-
livering to men who had previously en-
gagged them. The colonel ordered them
out of the grounds and threatened to
turn the boys loose on their wares If
they cid not do so. This was pracu-
cally telling the men to go ahead and
rob the merchants, and was an out
rage of which a majority of the men
are greatly humiliated."
One merchant had TO close his store,
so heavy was his loss. He was even
robbed of his overcoat, and his negro,
who had on pair of gold-rimmed spec
tacles. was relieved of them.
A requisition will probably be made
on the governor of Ohio for the return
of Colonel Kuert to this state for prose-
cution, for aiding and abetting rob
berS.
The Macon merchants some weeks
ago made complaint to Washington
that the negro regiments be not mus
tered out here, but sent away, a COM
peny ct a time. The merchants also
asked that the negroes be kept out of
the city, and the police force was dou-
bled. The government, however, had
the men mustered out here, and the ne
groes took trains at he camp without
coming into the city. The other regi-
ments mustered out have left the town
without spending any money, and the
recently adopted the plan of
taking their wares out to the camp.

posed-Manila Quiet.
Manila, Feb. 10.-ln anticipation of a
native uprising in this city, unusual
precautions were taken here last night
by the American military authorities.
Fortunately this proved unnecessary.
The Filipinos are evidently convinced
that an uprising would prove suicidal
to them.
The Visayan commissioners arrested
on board the Uranus sailed for Iloilo
yesterday with the Tennessee regi-
ment on board the United States trans
port st. Paul.
No vessels have cleared from Manila
for the Philippine ports since Saturday,
consequently no news has yet reached
outside points. The Uranus cleared for
uoiIo on Saturday, but instead of sail
ing on Sunday she was detained by the
American authorities.
The American line is about the same
as on Wednesday.
On the right General Overshines' bri-
yade extends to the beach two miles
north Of Camp Dewey. and to the Pasig
river. Lieutenant Colonel Treumann,
with the North Dakota volunteers, has
established his headquarters on the
beach whence he is in signal commu-
nication with the American fleet. The
Second battalion of the Dakota regi-
nent extends along the front and all
of the Fourteenth infantry, with the
exception Of companies NJ and e, is
stationed at the Pasig river and ex-
tends thence to San Pedro and Malate
In a complete line.

ment yesterday surprised some Filipino
scouts at the bridge across the Paran-

reach the main body of the rebels, en-
trenched opposite troop X OF the
Fourth cavalry.
4 few rebels have concentrated at
Paranaque. While they are entrenched
they are fully exposed from the water
front.
General Kings headquarters are now
at the village of Pasig, which surren-
dered yesterday without opposition.
Many of the rebels are coming in, hop
ing to be allowed to enter Manila, but
they have been refused the necessary
permission and are now afraid to re-
turn 10 the enemy's ranks.
The California regiment, whose mem
bers are in excellent spirits, is now oc-
clIpying the villages of PaSig, Malate
and Santana.
Since the Wyoming regiment relieved
the Twenty-third regiment at the water
works there has been no change in

RIVER IMPROVEMENT BILL.
The ~Watts-Ainslee river improvement
bill then came up on its third reading.
Senator Hays denounced the measure
as an unconstitutional and dangerous
one 81 have opposed this from the
very first, as every senator knows, and
l have done so because it takes away
from the state. the farmer and the
miner the rights which they have. The
bill is defective and null and void. You
don't state in the bill when you will
commence nor when you expect to get
through. You don't state in the bill
what the character of your improve
me.lts will be, but you can blast out
few rocks and then the state land board
will give you francnse Tor niteen cen
years and charge the farmer and the
miner tolls for floating their logs and
timber down the river 1t is s5ell
enough to have power to pass this bill,
but il is cruel to use the power in such
a way. You can pass it through the
senate, but in the house hope it will
meet its death.
Senator Easton also entered his pro-
fest against the passage of the bill.
The hour of adjournment having ar
rived further consideration of the bill
was postponed. On motion of Senator
Hayes the senate resolved to attend the
funeral of the late P. A. Regan in
body. The senate then adjourned.
