The Philippines.

Manila. Sept. % Gen. Jos Wheeler
after q skirmish at Porac, telegraphed
to Gen. Otis asking that the latter send
cavalry so that he (Wheeler) could an
initiate a large body Of insurgents and

Otis's reply was court refusal 70

Members of the Pro- American party
of Filipinos are utterly discouraged be-

policy has been ridiculed, their plans
have been thwarted. Then. too their
commissioners have been discredited by

English PAPER Sarcastic.

London, Sept. 2S.-Some English
newspapers refer in terms anything but
complimentary to the amount Of the
Dewey Home Fund, said to be $27 900.
They seem to think this amount hardly
commensurate with the praise lavished
on Dewey's exploit at Manila.
All the papers print Prof. Goodwin
Smiths pronunciamento in which he II
sarcastic regarding:the battle. He finds
many supporters here. They do moi
decry Dewey, but maintain that the
only risk he ran was in entering the
harbor, and that the plaudits Of the

thusiantic. The size Of the home FUND
is considered sufficient excuse foi

There is almost equally divided sem
timent in the criticisms Of the press
upon the assignment of Admiral Sch
lev to the South Atlantic Station.
g ome warm admirers of the hero OF the
Spanish war think that Admiral Sch
ley's assignment to the South Atlantic
Station is a slight put upon the great
naval commander 1t is not easy to
ascertain whether this is so; but one
thing is easy Of ascertainment and that
is the fact. that Admiral Schley has
shown the true character of the Amer
lean ''sailor" in uncomplainingly &C
cepting any assignment that might be
made Of him. The people Of the South
are very Jealous of the characters OF
Admiral Sohley and General Fitzhugh
Lee. That the envy Of the old army
officers has prevented a fair recogni.
ton of the services of Fitz Lee, is APP
parent to blind man. That the sans
green.eyed malevolence has denied to
Admiral Schley, because he is south
ern man. the position to which he Is
entitled, is equally manifest. Neverthe'
less we doubt not that the whirligig

SOME HISTORICAL "REMINISCENCES.
The occasion recalls to mind some
interesting historical "reminiscences.
On September 30. 1864, the seven men
Garter, OVERLY, Love. Anderson,
Jones and Wi!lis-To whom the mon
ument is erected were members OF the
Mosby's famous partisan battalion.
Just south Of the town. on that day. the
company Of Mosby's command 10
which these men belonged attacked o
wagon train and were surprised to IND
they had encountered large Federal
force, part OF Clusters brigade. me
company extricated itself without dii-
fculty, and in the sharp fight that FOL
lowed these seven men were captured.
Custer charged Mosby with having
fred on his ambulances and ordered the
prisoners TO be executed. Three were
accordingly shot just south OF the
town and were hanged on walnut
tree north OF Front Royal on hill
overlooking the Shenandoah. The slxtn
Rhodes a boy OF Twas dragged
through the streets by two calvaTymen
past his mother. who begged for his
life, and shot to death a few moments
afterwards. The seventh-Willis-was
hanged in Rappahannock county about
six miles from here.
MOsBY RETALlATES.
The executions were attended with
much harshness and barbarity and call
cd forth a burst Of indignation all over
the South. In retaliation aud to pre-
vent the recurrence of such treatment
of prisoners Of war, Mosby ordered to
be shot an equal number of Custer s
men who he had taken prisoners. Ihis
was done and hangings ceased.
The work attending the arrange
ments for the unwilling and for enter

RELICS OF DIR. DAVIS.
VALUABLE COLLECTION SENT TO
CONFEDERATE MUSEUM.
CLOTHES WORN WHEN CAPTURED.

Richmond, Va. Sept % The Con
federate Museum has just been enriched
by the addition Of two cases Of relics,
formerly the property Of Jefferson Da
Wis. the President Of the Oonfederacy.
Some have been given. others lent, by
Mrs Davis and Mrs Hayes, and they
form priceless collection
In accordance with wish expressed
by Mrs. Davis. the large case contain
ing the Presidents personal property
will be placed in the Mississippi room,
and q smaller case, containing letters,
testimonials and portraits. will be ex-
hibited in the Solid South room. The
suit OF furniture has not yet been as
signed to any special place. nor will 1t
be until the matter has been considered
by the society The most interesting
relics, ia fact, have been placed in the
Mississippi room They are contained
IN a large, square case, six feet or more
in height. The suit Of clothes which
Mr. Davis wore when he was captured
hangs there. The frock coat Is made
of gray cloth, with q velvet collar, and
the trousers are Of the same material
The suit has been much worn, and
bears evidence of long service by the
absence OF several buttons from the
coat and the imprint Of the President's
knees in the trousers.
THE FAMILY BIBLE.
The old family Bible rests on the
bottom Of the case. lying open at the
registry OF marriages, births and
deaths Near it is the small Bible
sent by the President while q prisoner
at Fort Monroe to his son.
The prayer book used by Mr.. Davis
with his autograph on the fly-leaf, is a
very rare and valuable one, since 1t
contains a special prayer for the Oon-
federate States Congress. No less a
sum than s., 900 has hoen offered for
this particular book, and refused by
Mrs. Davis.
A very quaint and rather pathetic
souvenir is O small silver thimble be-
queathed by Sister Of Charity upon
her death-bed to Jefferson Davis, Jr.
II was the sum total Of the good nun s
earthly possessions. and she left 1t to
the boy she had nursed through seri-
Gus illness, TO whom she was devoted.
Side by side with the tbimble is the
gold watch which belonged to Prin-
cess Charlotte of England, and was
presented to Miss Winnie Davis during
her visit to England. The matchbox
used by the President; a box that ne
had kept at the head Of his bed. for

HISTORY OF THE MONUMENT.
The seven men in whose memory
the monument was today unveiled
were members Of Mosby's battalion and
were executed just 80 years ago by the
order, it is alleged Of General Custer.
The movement to promote this OBJ
ject had its origin about three years
ago in the minds of number
of the most prominent survivors OF
Mosby's old command. At this time
committee was formed, Of which W
Ben. Palmer. of Richmond, was chair
man, and Charles E. Biedler. Of Balti'
more. secretary. This committee ther
went to work to secure donations.
Last spring 1t announced the collection
Of the fund, and the committee came
to Front Royal to consult with the
town authorities, the William Richard
son Damp Of Confederate Veterans ant
the Ladies Warren Memorial Associs
tion as to suitable sight. The mem.
orial association has charge of thu
Prospect Hill Cemetery and offered h
donate site, with promise to taxi
into their care the monument whei
erected This offer was accepted.
