 sisting in putting down the Filipino rebellion. His original term of enlist ment having expired he Te-enlisted in one of the skeleton regiments. His letter is ain interesting sketch of a pri- vate's life among the annoying insur- gents. He writes as follows:
 Bacolar, P. l., Province of Pampanga,
 August 16th, 1899
 I thought I would at least drop you a few lines although it isn't a very easy thing to do under the circum- stances, as we are a long ways from any office or civilized town where a fel low can get things. We are always on the move after the niggers. We were out all morning chasing about eight hundred of them armed with knives and rifles and got back about 1 D. m., and at 2 o'clock the company went out again, but they only. went over to a little town about three miles from heTe to see how things were coming on over there. We have niggers all around us at present. Between us and San Fer nando, which is the nearest postoffce, there is quite a lot of niggers, and one man was wounded over there this morning. He belonged to the Twelfth infantry The litter carriers had to carry him about two miles to where we are now.
 We were in Manila until the 1st, when We were loaded on the train for San Fernando. Well. we stayed there until the 7th. At 1 a. m. all hands fell in and we ploughed through water and mud in the dark until daylight, and then we Mare right in the nigger lines. We slipped past their outposts and had gone mile before they got onto our move, but when they did we had it hot and heavy. I assure you. While we were engaging them on the north of the town the First battalion came in on the south and then we had them pretty good for they left thirty-one wounded and killed in the town. The colonel went into a house and pulled a native captain out of led by the ear but when they get outside he started to run and now occupies about three by seven in the back yard. along with the rest of his friends. We moved 1 north and ran into a very large body l of them. It was there we lost our men i two killed and seven privates, one i major and che captain wounded. But 1 say, you should have seen those nig- { gers run; they would throw back their i heads, bring up their arms and run i! like a quarter horse across those rice 1 ridges My company was sent back ] about four miles with the ambulance, i but when we hal gone about half the i distance we received severe fire from | our right and we had very hard time 1 keeping them at bay. We kept nov ing all the while, but suddenly came to 1 a halt, as we were cut off from the bridge we were making for and then we put ourselves behind trees and in ditches to exchange shots with them until achievements came, which was five long hours, and our ammunition was about gone wk.en they came up. One of the wounded died. He was shct through the lungs with a copper covered Remington. They are very bad, while the Mauser is not so bad,

SATISFACTORY
Is the Report Made by General Wood
as to Santiago Province The Peo-
pie Busy, Contented and Happy.

WASHINGTON, June S-The War De-
partment has received a lengthy report
from Gen. Wood at Santiago, in which
he says that he has just returned from a
long trip through the interior and along
the north coast of Santiago province.
This. with the preceding TRIP, completed
about ten days ago, has included every
town of Importance in the province, as
well as most of the smaller ones. There
all are at work, peaceful. contented and
happy. Gen. Wood, speaking of tire al
legged brigandage in the province, says:
The reports which had alarmed the Cit
liens in the vicinity of Samas and Banes
were, as far as 1 could learn, circula ted
by an old scoundrel called Feria He has
spent his time apparently in circulating
reports of br.gandage and actually incit-
ing some men to commit lawless acts in
order to give color to his reports, and

Havana requesting that he be authorized
to pursue the bandits and incidentally to
get a command and big pay.
Gen. Wood says that the people who are
creating the disturbances in Cuba do not
represent two per cent. of the population.
He believes there is enough money with
the revenues to find work for the idle not

but to its everlasting benefit

HORRIBLE
Was the Accident Which Occurred at
Cherry Camp, W. Va, Early Yes
Morning 1.-Two Hen Ground to
Plecas.

Special to the Register.
CHERRY CAMP, w. Va, June d
One OF the most horrible accidents ever
chronicled here occurred near here
shortly after last midnight. Rolla
SWlger and teamster named Harbert,
both OF Harrison county, were almost
completely ground to pieces, by the
Royal Blue train on the B. & o. En-
glneer Fleming and Conductor Fred
erick were in charge of the train, and
the following particulars are given by
a passenger. The train was under full
Roadway when the passengers and con-
ductor felt a peculiar sensation, such
as II the cars were running over some
oDJect on the rails. They all suspected
that 1t was some human being, and the
conductor stopped the train. 1t was
backed up slowly TO where the sensa-
ton was felt and the trainmen got out
and made an Investigation, and made
a horrible discovery. A portion of a
leg, four feet and three hands were
found. The rails, wheels and trucks
were smeared with blood and fragments
of flesh and clothing, but nothing of
the heads or trunks could be found,
and the supposition is that they were
ground to pieces. The portions of the
remains that were found would indicate
that one Of the men was large and the
other quite small. Engineer Fleming
asserts that he saw no one ON the track
and was terribly surprised when the
remains were found.
No one has the slightest idea how the
accident occurred. 1t was at a dark
and secluded point, and some advanced
the theory that the men may have
been murdered and placed on the track
to conceal the crime. Others were of the
opinion that they may have gone TO
sleep on the track, or were stealing a
ride on the trucks of the baggage car
The remains of the human bodies
were turned over to some one at the
point where the accident occurred for
burial, and the train, which was de-
layed several hours by the accident,
resumed it's journey.

Spain the most favored nation treat

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The opin-

which it is believed, would alone be
full compensation. But in addition.
the guarantees afforded by Germany
are regarded as extraordinary. The
permission TO Spain to retain three
coating stations, and above all, the I'M
dertaking to protect these in time of
war, are certainly of great value. In
fact, it is said the undertaking to pro-
tect the coaling stations for Spain NAV
be regarded as in a sense committing
Germany 10 an alliance with Spain.
for it is conceivable that to execute the
guarantee Germany may be placed in
a position where she must go to war
for SPANS sake. The concession that
Spain may enjoy favored treatment in
trade with Germany and her colonies is
said to be OF value so far as the mother
country is concerned, but of little inn
portance in respect to the colonies of
Germany. Spain has never been able
to make any Roadway in trade with
colonies on even terms with Germany.

PARIS, June S.-Col Du Patty de
Clam is confined in the cell where he
tortured Dreyfus. He showed himself
torturing inquisitor bereft of con-
science. What an awful awakening
there must now be OF the hidden moni-
tor. Nemesis has been less leaden
than usual in overtaking him. I am
told that he was preparing to escape
to Belgium when he was arrested.
Madame du Patty de Clam Is sister
of the Duke of d'Ursel, great Belgium
nobleman. who is also governor OF the
province of Hainault. Her first cous-
in is Count Nun, head OF the Catholic
party in the French Chamber OF Depu-
ties. Her brother recently married
daughter of Comte and Comtesse de
Franqueville, nee Erard. They are
owners of the Chateau Muette. at
Passy, which was formerly a royal
shooting lodge. The chateau stands in
large park with stately avenues OF
ancient trees planted two hundred
years ago.

Before Col. du Patty de Clans arrest
his description and photographs or
him were sent to the frontier commits

The pathetic feature of the Dreyfus
case is the eleven long supplicatory

Faure, in dying, supplicated all those
whom he had injured to forgive him.
Those meant coming from Faurea
lips, Dreyfus and his family. The late
President suffered himself to be black
mailed into hindering the work OF
justice. and Nemesis took him up also.
Were he still alive the event of to-day
could not have happened. President
