whenever we hear a report We dlsbe'

Yesterday morning nine companies
of the First Tennessee Regiment went
in q steam launch to the western side
Of this isle and disembarked, and
marched through the country, hoping
to engage the willy insurgents, but it
seems that the Indians had left.
There is a rumor here to day that Ten.
mes captured a Filipino Lieuten-
ant Colonel, but I talked with a COM
pany of the Tennesseeans, which was
on guard adjoining u outpost, and
they aaid it was only a rumor with
them.
The number of our boys who on the
sick report is alarming, as n third Of
the regiment! is unfit for duty, and
many others who are not on sick re-
port, are also unfit for duty, but they
dislike to go on sick report, aud get
marked Quarters" as all Who are
marked quarters, get 10 cr90l5 for any
battles that may be fought while they
are so marked.
as many people have wri5ten me
for my opinion OF the prOspec,s for
business in the Philippines, I'll say to
all such parties: IT you have $40, 900
to start With, possibly you could make
g. me money in Manila, or Oavite, but
don't think of coming here until this
trouble has been settled. There is n
isle here which has asked American
protection, and the stars and stripes
now float above it's people; but I saw
in Freedom that trouble vas expected
there, and don't doubt it, as We never
know when to place confidence in these
FlIipincs. The name Of the peaceful
isle lie. Negroes, and I would advise those
who think Of engaging in business In
the Philippines to go to Negroes, az his
property would be safer there than
it would be on Luzon. or here o. Panay
Isle. Manila is on Lion.
Little rain has fallen during the past
week, and the cisterns have run dry,
80 we must drink the water from the
stagnant wells, and many of our boys
have thereby contracted malaria. 1t

and such things as soldiers need. The g
are many Chinese on these isles, and
they woui6crovd out American work
ingmeD, as well as those who would
try to begin merchandising here on a
small scale. One advantage the Chi
nese have over Americana here, is that
they are acclimated, and Americans
are not. Another advantage is the
way Chinese live. They will eat rice,

SENATOR TELLER'S PRAYER.
And What Tom Bowen Thought of
the Invocation.


The senior senator from Colorado,
with the exception of the period he
served as secretary of the interior in
President Arthur's cabinet, has repre-
scented his state in the senate since her
admission to the Union in the centen-
NAL year. He is one of the most digni-
fed members Of that body. a man with
whom it is difficult to connect ro-
mantle episode and yet in the early
days when he was a pioneer in Gilpin
county. Colo, at the time Of the silver
sIcitebent there he was a participation
in many thrilling incidents. No one
was more forward in insisting that the
law should he observed and he was fire.
quently called upon to help in the ex-
ecution of justice.
1t is told of him that on one occasion
be took part in the lynching Of Next
can who was caught robbing the sluice
boxes. Ii was not the first offense, and
the man had again and again been
warned. but to no purpose. The trial
was conducted with all order and pro-
priety by the miners about there, and
it was decided that the culprit must
hang. Senator Teller took a prominent
part in the debate, and while he regret
ted the necessity ne still advocated the
hanging as important in maintaining
law and order.
The preparations were made, the rope
fixed around the prisoner neck, and
everything was ready for the execution
At this moment Senator Teller, who Is
a deeply religions man, asked for a stay
in the proceedings and suggested that
chance be given the Mexican to pray, a
privilege the poor wretch declined. But
Teller determined he Should rot sing

To Cure Seasickness.

Another continuance for the cure or
amelioration of seasickness has been
brought ont 1t is a small electric hang
ing stove. which can be put on bracket
and fastened up in stateroom. 1t holds
cup which will contain liquid food
and keep il hot, so that the patient may
not have 10 wait an instant for a swal-
low of beef tea or broth. which is con-
sidered almost a preventive Of sickness
if taken when the first qualms attack
the traveller. The difficulty is to get the
broth perfectly hot. When it is half
warm, it only increases the nausea,
and the most attentive stewards cannot
wait on nnmberless passengers and
serve each one with food at the exact
moment when it is needed. Thus the
electric stove becomes boon to all who
would avoid the approach Of seasickness-

MANILA, Jan. 1.-The situation Is
rapidly approaching n climax, and IL
Is just possible that tomorrow will
see q peaceable solution.
Meanwhile all sorts Of alarmist ru-
mors are in circulation. The United
States authorities are taking every
precaution; tho troops in quarters are
under arms and the Californians have
disembarked from the transports
The natives, it Is reported, have
been ordered not to work for the
Americans, and tho employees in the
commissary department have gone on
strike. Natives are leaving the city.
Major General Otis, however, has
the whole situation thoroughly in
hand.
A second proclamation by Aguinal-
do, bearing the same date rs the one
which Immediately followed the pro-
clamation Of Major General Otis, based
upon President McKinley's instruc-
tions, first appeared on the streets to-
day, but 1t is alleged to have been re-
called. Its terms are much more We
hement than those used in the first
proclamation. Aguinaldo threatens to
drive the Americans from the islands,
calls the Deity to witness that their
blood will be on their own heads II it
Is shed, and details at great length the
promises he claims were made by the
Americans as to the part Of the insur-
gents in the campaign.

clamation Is the original draft which
was not adopted by the Filipino con-
gress at Malolos.

CRIED FRAUD FOR DREYFUS.
The President Of a Part Of the
Court Of Appeals Is Out
LOOKS BRIGHT FOR DREYFUS.
crate Dreyfus wcrs Ignored by the
Minister. de Beaurepairs Rssignod-A
Cabinet Crisis Possible.

PARIS, Jan. I'M. Q~uesnay de
Beaurepaire, president Of the civil sec.
tion of the court Of cessation, has re-
signed his position in consequence Of
the refusal Of the minister Of Justice
to take any action on his report Of al
legged fragrant irregularities committed
by the criminal section Of the court Of
cessation in the Dreyfus case. The
minister of justice Is believed to have
taken into consideration the character
Of Judge de Beaurepaire in refusing to
grant his request. The judges record
Is not of the best; he was implicated
In the Panama scandals.
In q long documen. he virtually
protests against what he suggests Is q
conspiracy On the part OF the court Of
cessation to exonerate Dreyfus. But
no practically admits his Partially by
declaring that his resignation was
intended to avengo the army and its
generals for the sufferings they have
had to endure in silence.
The resignation on the eve Of the
meeting Of tho national legislature,
which reassembled to-day, gives rise
to the inference that tho criminal
court Of appeal is far nearcr to the
rendering OF judgment in the Dreyfus
case than most people believe, and that,
having failed to induce tho minister OF
justice to order an investigation which
would discredit the supreme criminal
tribunal Of France, he Is anxious,
with the object Of averting a decision
favorable to Dreyfus, to provoke a
ministerial defeat and q political
crisis In tho chamber to-day, where
NJ. Lasies, n Of the most fiery men,
bers Of the anti Dreyfus party, after
numerous consultations with Beaure-
paire, Is to interrogate the minister of
justice on the subject Of the charges
brought by Beaurepaire against tho
criminal court Of appeal, and, IL neces
sary, &c invite q vote Of censure and
Of want Of confidence to DO brought
against the cabinet.
