President Mckinley still indul-
ges in his Ohio cant about desiring
thai bloodshed shall cease and that
peace and order" shall prevail.
There has been no war or blood
shed or disorderin any part OF the
uncounted islands except where
Mr.. McKinley's troops have gone,
demanding Submission" and an
acknowledgement Of our "sov-
ereignty." II he had proclaimed
in the Philippines the intention OF
the United States as declared
toward Cuba in the resolutions Of
Congress there would have been
no war. And it is doubtful If there
will be any real and lasting peace
until we treat the Philippines as
we are treating and propose to

Pacific Coast to take charge Of the
Asiaiic Squadron. he left here on the
II:os a. m train over the b. & o. r, r.
November 28th., 1897. He was accom-
panied by Lieutenant T. M. Bumby,
who has remained with him, and who is
now enroute to the United States on the
Olympia. At Chicago he was joined by
Lieutenant Commander II. II. Caldwell.

Another Candidate for Lynch Law,
Another white woman was out
ragged by a negro brute in the Dis
trict Of Columbia Tuesday. Bet
ter there than anywhere else, but
horribly shocking even there.
The monster committed his inhu
man crime in the presence Of his
victims two little children, after
mis- demand for food had been COM
piled with, by threats Of death from
a loaded revolver, which he pointed
at her head, saying he had killed
one white man and wouldn't hest.
tate at shooting a white woman.
How many other white women he
had outraged he did not tell her,
and will probably never be known
as such crimes are so horrible that
they are rarely made,public by the
sufferers unless the perpetrators be
Immediately caught and lynched.
The crime referred to seems to be
on the rapid increase, Tor, as the
tiger that has once devoured a man
soon becomes a confirmed man
eater, so the negro who has once
outraged awhile woman, is oblivi-
Gus to danger in pursuit ofanother
one, and incites other men of his
race to follow his example, as a
means Of wreaking the vengeance
OF their alleged wrongs upon the
white people among, and upon,
whom they live. One OF their
preachers IN Ohio last Sunday told
his congregation that the negroes
had rot yet risen in insurrection
against their oppressors. No, but

THEATRICAL.

Interest in next weeks production OF
"The Dancing Girl" by the Frawley
Compang at the Columbia is largely
centered in the first appearance here Of
the, phenomenal young Californian
actress, Miss Blanche Bates, The play,
bv Henry Arthur Jones, is pretty we'll
known from it's previous presentations
here by L. II. Sothern and Beerbohm
Tree, and it was performed with great
success by the Frawley Company in San
Francisco. Indeed, it was the medium
through which MISS Bates, whom Mr..
Frawley practically introduced to the
stage, developed from clever comeci-
eane into an emotional actress, whose
ability has since been recognized IN the
East She comes Of a theatrical family,
her mother, Mrs. F. Bates, being a
member of the present Frawley Conn
pany, while she is a cousin Of Eugenie
Blair. Nevertheless Miss Bates was a
novice when she joined MIR. Frawley's
Frisco stock company some four or five
seasons ago. Her progress was rapid,
however, and she soon became CO star
with the clever actor manager their
greatest triumph being as the Duke ard
Drusilla Ives in THE Dancing Girl"
Miss Bates success siuce she came East
has been phenomenal, She joins
Augustin Daly's company and made her
first hit as Blanca IN 1.-The Tanning of
the Shrew." Then the English melo-
drama, "The Great Ruby" gave her
an opportunity to play an adventures
role, which was the talk OF New York.
Nevertheless, she resigned her part
after a few performances, and was
engaged for the Liebler Companv's
production OF "Tne MusketeeTs," with
James O'Neill, Wilton Lackaye, and
other well known actors. Her imper-
souatiou of Dumas feminine demon,
Miladi, was the hit OF the performance
aud the critics unanimously hailed the
actress as a new discovery. She comes
to Washington Tor a special engagement
with the Frawley Company next week,
and will be supported by Mr.. Frawley
and the entire company.

The Presidents Philippine Plan.
President Schurman, the head Of
Mr.. McKinley's Philippine Com
mission, has submitted the follow
ing scheme Of government, Of
which the President cabled his ap
proval:
While the final decision as to The form
OF government is in the hands OF Com
Rress the President, under his military
powers, pending the action Of Congress,
stands ready to offer the following form
Of government:

Presldent; the heads OF departments
and JUDGES TO be either Americans or
Fl ipinos or both; and also a general
advisory council its members to be
chosen by the people by a form of
suffrage to be hereafter determined
upon.
The President earnestly desires that
bloodshed cease and har th- people of
the Philippines at an early date enjoy
the largest measure OF self government
compatible with peace and order.

filed vacancies in the various COM
panies, or asa altogether When
the transport Sheridan left Manila
on April -aa there were only z2a
able TO report for duty. The
Others, says the press reports, are
either in the hospitals or dead. A
fearful record for less than a year!
Private G. B Blake, one of those
who returned TO San Francisco a
day or two ago. said: THE boys
in the hospital are pretty bad, and
some Of tneU, will never see Ne
braska again. How they do long
for homel There is no: one OF them
but would give a year ofhis life to
have the soil OF the old State under
his feet again"
Yes, at the dictates OF Mckinley,
fighting for an unjust cause and in
violation Of the old principles OF
1916, our volunteers are forced 10
remain in the army against their
will. They contracted to serve
only during the war with Spain,
and not a suggestion was made
when they enlisted, that they
would have to conquer a people,
10000 miles away, who have never
done US any harm war, for
which later on Mckinley paid s2o,-
600, 900.
Why does not Mr., Bryan linz his
voice in behalf OF the y braska
Hessians, who were evidently sold
and oppressed in the same way as
the poor Hessians Of King George?
Why does he not protest against
the killing and enslaviug the Ne
braska soldiers2 He never should
have given his voice in favor Of
that Spanish treaty. 1t was the

Ii seems that some of our So
called Southern leaders have lost
all manhood and demeaned them
selves by toadying to the present
un-American Administration. Let
them bear well in mind that Mr.,
McKinley's campaign friends have
already announced that the Re-
publican party has outgrown the
Declaration Of independence. Let
them not forget that one Of the
most unjustand flagrant wars ever
conducted by a civilized people is
now being waged in the Philip

but dissatisfaction, military mis-
rule, almost as bad as that OF the

directly responsible for the dirt
which is now dehling the fair

many crimes behind the gold lace
OF Admiral Dewey and the other
popular heroes Of t'tis war If we

His plan to make a trans. con-
tinental trip in company of Dewey
may excite much enthusiasm; but,
the true American who has at heart
the integrity Of the Republic and
who advocates the perDetuation OF
American principles will never
support a man who is not an Amer

Lancaster enterprise. [volume] (Lancaster, S.C.) 1891-1905, 1899-12-16

San Francisco, December 12.-
The Bulletin says: The disaster
that overlook the island of Ceram
on the I'd Of last month cost the
people of that district immense
loss of life and property. The
steamship American Maru, which
arrived yesterday from the Ori-
ent, brought advices from Ceram
and reports that 500 people were
destroyed on that island alone
when the dreadful earthquakes
of November shocked the Japan
ese coast and agitated the islands
adjacent to the Empire.
On the night of the I'd the peo.
pie of Ceram were awakened by
a terrific shock of earthquake that
seemed to work from north to
south. Every one fled from his
house into the public square. A
few hours later it was reported
that the water was rising In the
bay of Ambonia. The sea came
forward in the shape of a huge
tidal wave and forced the water
into the bay entrance. 1t came
up fifty feet over the lowlands.
At Pauhaly and Samasoeroa, on
the bay, the waves swept over the
tops of trees thirty feet high. Out
of nearly 1,SOO inhabitants only
40 escaped.
The whole coast for miles was
transformed into a huge mud
puddle. Corpses were everywhere.
Broken trees and portions of
houses were buried in the ooze.
Every few rods were great
mounds of stones and boulders
that had been washed up from
the sea, changing the entire topo-
graphy of the country. The exact
number killed along the coast
will never be known, as the corp
SOS are, In many cases, yards un-
der the new ground. AT Hatoesia,
out of 500 people, 100 were killed
and 40 wounded. The balance
escaped to the hills, where the
shock of earthquakes was first
felt.

London, Dec. Ia, 445 Il. M
Each important battle seems to
bring a worse reverse for the
British, and the papers this
morning sorrowiully admit that
Lord Methuen's check at Magers
fontein is the most serious event
the war has yet produced.
The Morning Post says: I'VE
have had our day of humiliation
appointed. for US. Let us accept
it humbly and soberly and be the
better and stronger for the lesson
it has caught us. This last re-
verse will make us a fresh butt
of Europe. There never was a
more apt occasion to prove to
Europe what we are worth
The position Lord Methuen as
saulted is thus described by a
correspondent:

and west. The western ends of

1000 men and perhaps more.
No reliable estimate of his losses
has yet been received. They are
believed to have been at least

All the papers comment upon
the extreme gravity OF the silua.
tion and upon the momentous
decision Lord Methucn has now
to make-whether to remain at
Modder river or to retire on Or
ange river.
The Times says: "At least
30, 900 additional men must be
sent out. The entire available
reserve must be called up and
the militia and volunteers turned
to account. Efforts must be
made to increase the local colo
NAL forces, and further offers of
troops from Canada and other
colonies must be sought and
