partmeHt has been advised of the appre-
hension existing in the Southern states
tha. the return OF troops from Cuba may
bring In the yellow fever Protests haye
been made against the establishment OF
camps at Atlanta and the suggestion has
been made tha, the troops should be sent
North early and not mustered out In the
South. So far as the Southern troops are
concerned II is possibie TO muster them
out only near their homes. The Northern
troops It is intended 10 bring North. II is
stated a. the war department that investi-
Cation into the plan 10 establish a camp

MANILA's REIGN OF TERROR.
English Lady Describes the Scare
During the Month Of January

DurtmG the Month of January,
Copyrighted. lsse. by the Associated Press.
LONDON. April I--Extracts from the d.
airy OF an English lady at Manila have
been published in the papers here. They
give a graphic description OF the situation
at Manila. the outbreak Of hostiIities and
the feeling OF panic among the residents
They also tell OF the scare IN the city in
the middle Of January owing to the small
rising inside the walls. The people packed
up their jewels. money and clothing all
ready to run. Under date OF January s,
she describes the previous Sunday. and
says:
"A huge red BAH soon ascended from
the rebel camp as a signal OF attack. and
the firing increased steadily. A soldier
came to tell US tha. the rebels had burned
the water works, and that we must fill
everything We had, as the supply would
stop in few hours. The firing came near
er and nearer. We seemed TO be in the
very center Of perfect storm OF bullets
all around the house. At last we heard
that the rebels were driven back, and saw
the home troops return. Poor things,
they were dead beat. just trampling along
dragging one foot after the other. and be-
hind them was the sad little procession
OF wounded on stretchers."
On February 9. referring to the skirmish
at Malatin. she wrote:
When the fire was too hot for the reh-
els they put up a white flag and showed
the butt end of their rifles. So the Ameri-
cans advanced and when quite close the
rebels fired at them. This horrible treach-
cry met with just reward"

LINCOLN. Neb.. April l.-Gov. Poynter
tonight sent a message to the legislature,
yetoing the senate bill which comments
the First Nebraska regiment in the Phil
ippines. The language of the bill objected
10 by the governor says:
That We acknowledge with gratitude
and joy the debt that the state owes them
by reason Of the honor conferred upon it
by their valor while defending In the Phil
ippines the principles OF our government
and adding glory to our flag"
The governor in his veto says:
II cannot stultify myself and the calm
judgment Of the thinking people OF this
commonwealth by giving official approval
to the statement that the war Of conquest
now carried on in the Philippines is in de-
fense of the principles Of our government
and is adding new glory TO our flag"
The senate promptly passed the bin over
the veto, but a like effort failed in tho
house. the Populsts voting solidiy to sus-
tain the governor.
The bill was passed several days ago.
and the veto followed shortly after an ex-
tended conference between Gov. Poynter
and W. ]. Bryan. who returned home to-

Only After Nest Heroic EoeFts.

RosEBURG. Or, Feb. N.-The south
bound passenger train on the southern
Pacific was wrecked early this morning
near Nichols station, in Cow Creek can
Won The high water brought down
huge drift which carried away the track,
The train reached the break at o:e, and
the engine plunged down into the gap
left by the washout. AS the engine rolled
over Engineer Waite climbed out of the
ca window and escaped unin5ared. except
for a strained back and q few bruises.
Fireman NJ. Devaney was pinned between
the fire box and a drift or legs and held
firmly by the right foot Everything pos
ssf9ie was done to rescue him. but slow
progress was made until the fire was ex-
tinguished by letting the water run into
the fire box. Wet blankets were hung UP
To protect the fireman from the steam as
much as possible AT times the water
poured over him from The fiume which
passed under the track. As the day wore
or he was in great danger from the rapid
liz rising water, and IL was apparent that
II not soon released he would drown. His
head was kept out of water by men stand
ing In the stream holding him up. AT one
time the only chance to save him from
death seemed 70 be To cut of his leg. For
tuuately. however, the wrecking train ar
rived in time 20 prevent this The brave
fellow was in this perilous position six
hours and bore his suffering heroicaiiy.
Upon examination his injuries are less
serious than al first supposed. His left
leg Is scalGed above the knee and his r ght
ankle and foot are sprained and scalded.
