EXPERIMENTS WILL BE MADE
THE EUCALYPTUS SAID TO BE AN
ABsORBER OF MALARIA.
Large Scale In the Marshy
and Low Places.

Havana, August 21-Owing to the fire.
eral Brooke of the eucalyptus tree as an
anti-malarial agent, some Investigations
on the subject have been carried on up-
der his orders. Attention has been called
to the success obtained In cultivating the
tree In the vast Campagna di Roma, Italy,
where eucalyptus is now recognized as rem
derng the whole territory much less un-
healthful. The City of Mexico is cited as
another instance whore the Vigo canal,
the floating gardens and other malarlal
trees, with the result that places which
were once marsky and unhealthfnl have
been rendered dry and inocuous.
One recommendation says that the dis
trict in which the British troops are sta
toned in Jamaicn, which was formerly
Ealarial, has been planted with eucalyptus
the outcome already being steady disap-
pearance of marshy spots. The tree,
which absorbs moisture, grows very rap
IDLY, often ten feet in year. The wood
is valuable and honey bees seek the iiow
ers. The honey, it is said. contains i'm
portant medicinal properties.
lhe tree department 1T Santiago de
Cuba, not knowing of the investigation
under General Brooke's direction, recent
~ made a request for several thousand
eucalyptus shrubs, INSTRUMENTATION be-

Wood.

TREACnERY OF NATIVES.
Mayors Using Their Offices to Aid the
Filipino Cause.
SEVERAL ARRESTED AND PUT IN PRISON
Majority of the Natives sympnthixc
with the Insurgents and Elect
20 Help Them.

Manila, August r. Via Hong Kong, Au-
gust 27.--Recent events have proved some
what discouraging to officials who are
trying to accompany war with a policy OF
Cancellation. Two new municipal govern
ments ave COLLAPSED through the treach-
cry OF the mayors. Today the mayor of
San Pedro. Macat, who was elected by the
people under the direction of Professor
Dean Worcester. of the United States ad-
visory committee for the Philippines, was
brought to Manila and lodged in Jail The
United States officers at San Pedro, Ma
cat, found that he was using his office
as a recruiting station for the Filipino
army. Four disguised insurgent officers
were helping him.
The mayor of Baliuag was also arrested
and confined In the same prison. The
Americans caught him passing between
the line of the two armies with lncrim-
mating documents which the authorities
secured. Another prominent native may
or Is under surveillance. When the re-
suit OF the election at linus. which General
Lawion and Professor Worcester engin-
eered was announced, the Americans in
CURED as 10 the whereabouts of the peo-
pies choice, and We're informed that he
was in prison at Bilihld, where the auth
critics had placed him on suspicion of
being a reyolutionist. He was released
and installed as mayor.
Such events and conditions tend TO
give color TO the assertions of foreign
residents acquainted with the native
character who insist that great majority
of the natives sympathize with the in
surgents and elect officials whom they
know to be revolutioBists.
For two weeks Manila has been policed
at night with unusual vigilance. Appai =
emily the authorities are expecting trou-
Bile.
The trend of affairs tends to make the
police of lenlency unpopular among the
Americans. When they abandoned Mo
rong they burned the whole town.
Colonel Smith OF the Twelfth infantry,
who is in command at Angeles, is skepri-
cal regarding Filipino friendiness. In
stead of allowing the natives to return
TO the town as heretofore. he has ordered
his troops 10 shoot all the men trying ia
pass the lines and to turn back the women
and children He recently gave the ami
goes In the town an opportunity to prove
their protested friendship, putting them
to work at digging trenches and cleaning
streets, but this only displeased them.
The foremost citizen of Angeles law
yer, who had welcomed the Americans
with a great show of cordiality was found
communicating with the insurgents. The
Americans promptly marched him of TO
San Fernando, to stand trial.

cotton to Galveston last se2.cA to the
OF this made itself apparent to any live
merchant or cotton buyer and shipper.
Texas cotton last year ruled a quarter of
cent per pound higher than Louisiana
cotton or cotton coming from Sew Orr
leans. Shreveport merchants at once took
advantage OF this fact to ship cotton to
Galveston, where II was shipped az Texas
cotton. and consequently brought quar-
ter or cent per pound more than II the
same cotton had been shipped via New
Orleans. This aggregated about s1.25 per
bale, which was margin not to be
sneezed at. Mr.. De Fuentes says lie
thought that, all things being equal North
Louisiana merchants would prefer to ship
via New Orleans. but II would be unrea-
sonabe to ask them to make sacrifices
to benefit this city.

cameron, Texas, August 27.-Politics in
Cameron has been very quiet for some
time, notwithstanding the article by Mr..

papers. However when 1t was published
IN the Cameron Herald this week, quoted
from the Waco Times Herald, that Hon.

gress from the Seventh district II did
create some political talk in that line. and
completely turned the table ON Mr. Giyens

Joke. II must have interested Hon. r. i.
Henry, present incumbent, for he came
IN on Yesterdays 2 p. IN. Santa Fe train

the Cameron Herald. Mr.. Henry had only
short time to remain and departed for
Waco at $3.50 p. M, and the time was
consumed In shaking hands with his MANY
friends in Cameron -
II Is not believed In Cameron that Hon.

Two Spanish Army Officers Were
Convicted of EiubczzIcment.
Washington, August 27-A report Just
received by the war department from GEN
eral Otis gives details of the court martial
proceedings in number of cases.
In one case three officers OF the Spanish
army were accused OF embezzling large
amounts Tho commandant of the presi,.
do, Carlos Aymerlch, was acquitted, but
Captain loretta was found guilty of en-
bezzling $40, 53S, and Adjutant Ruiz was
found guilty of embezzling n like amount.
They We're sentenced to confinement at
hard labor for three years but the gem
erals reduced the sentence TO six months
owing to the confinement they had already
served.
One of the Spanish prisoners of war.
Rafael Albert was convicted of murder
ing another soldier and was sentenced to
be hanged, but the sentence was dIsap-
proved on technical grounds by the au-
thoritles at Washington and the Spanish
soldier continues to be held prisoner
OF war
One of the court martial cases gives the
acquittal OF an American volunteer officer
and several soldiers on the charge OF
having looted a house at Iloilo and taking
iuiuiiuit' shNtINdTe, JeWeiry, etc., NJ tne
time of the occupation of the city.
In another case Filipino native Is
found guilty of killing a Chinaman and
sentenced to be hanged, but General Otis
disapproved the finding.
General Otis, In general order No ..
directs that the troops give particular at
tention to furnishing full protection to
the lives and property of all German in
habitants Of the islands. As the consul
OF Germany Is looking to the security OF
the Swiss, Austrian, italian and Portu-
guese residents, injunctions were given 10
furnish similar protection to those peo-
pie.
General Otis desire to prevent disorder
within Manila is shown by frequent orders
In one the troops are warned against the
seizng OF horses, carriages or other prop
erty OF the natives. The burning of houses
is strictly prohibited unless the same are
used TO shelter the enemy or as places OF
concealment for contraband of war.
General Otis states. 1.-THE lives of the
inhabitants, natives and foreigners will
be protected and they Will bs permitted ia
pursue their ordinary avocations without
molestation or harm"

NO MORE TROUBLE EXPECTED.
THE RACE RIOT AT DARrEN, GA.
HAS auIETED DOWN.
Some of the Troops VIII De Detained
Until After the Trial of
the DeIesaIls.

Darien. Ga, August 27.--There were ne
militia today though the negroes remain
armed and the troops are prepared for all
eventualities. That the situation is I'M
proved is evidenced in the fact that Coll
onel Lawton commanding the first regi-
ment has returned to Savannah with
| services are no longer needed. This
| leaves 200 soldiers on duty They will
remain until after the sitting of the spec
ial term of the superior court which has
| been called to meet Wednesday to try
John Deegall for the murder of James
| Townsend. The special term will also
try Henry Delegall, the negro about
whom all the trouble has arisen and the
| thirty-hye black rioters who are now con-
! fined in the Savannah jail. 1t is proba-
| BILE that a special train and a militia es-
cort will bring the rioters from Savannah
| for trial.
a citizens committe has employed
special counsel to assist the solicitor gen.
eral in prosecuting the case against John
Delegall for the murder of Townsend. II
| Is probable that his trial will be con-
Guided the first day of the court The
| trial of Henry Delegall will also probably
be short and result in an acquittal. 1t
| is pretty generally conceded that his re-
lations with the woman in the case were
with her consent There has never been
the slightest indication that Henry Dele
gall would be lynched He was arrested
on complaint of the woman's father and
placed in jail. Hearing that the negroes
intended raidng the Jail for the purpose
of releasing Delegall, the sheriff concluded
1t would be wise to remove him to Savan-
nah for safe keeping. The negroes affect
ed TO believe it was the purpose of the
whites to get him outside of town and
lynch him, hence they armed themselves
and began their riotous and incendiary
conduct, to suppress which the governor
called out the militia. There are still
several hundred armed negroes in the
swamp.
A torrental rain has fallen today. which
will do much towards dampening their
ardor. No radical change in the situa-
tion, however, is looked for before the
converting of the special term of court.
Atlanta, Ga, August Ex-Governor Can
dler kept in close communication with
Colonel Lawton of the First Georgia regi-
ment all day, and expressed satisfaction
AT the encouraging messages received from
the scene of trouble in Mcintosh county.
Early in the afternoon Colonel Lawton
wired the governor that the situation had
greatly improved and that the arrest of
Delegall had broken up all armed resist
ance on the part of the negroes Colonel
Lawton asked permission to withdraw
portion Of his men, aud Governor Gambler
left it to the discretion of the colonel of
the First Georgia. This evening he was
Notified that half CT the Savannah regiment
had returned home. 1t was evident from
the kilograms that Colonel Lawton did not
expect the negro mob to give up soon.
