KEEP OFFICERS AND MEN.

Volunteers in the Philippines Cannot Be
Spared Yet.
WASHINGTON, April Sit was stated
at the war department during the day
that the provision of the army law al
lowing the retention for five or six
months of the volunteers in the Philip
pines had been construed to mean the
officers as well us the men and that the
volunteer organizations would be re-
tanned just as they now exist. General
Otis was given large plenary powers in
the matter, but was instructed by cable
to send all sick and wounded home, as
well as volunteers who had exceptional
reasons why they should return, such as
the support of families and the loss of
property by reason of their absence.
General Otis will decide such questions
on their merits. The volunteers in the
Philippines will not be mustered out
until they can be spared, and the pres
ence there of these organizations, the
war department believes, makes it I'M
necessary to organize the provisional
army of 81, 600 allowed under the army
law,

LAKE CITY CASES.
Trial OF South Carolina Iynchers In Fed
81 eral Court.

eral Court.
CHARLESTON, S. c., April 3.-Fifteen
prominent citizens of Lake City, s. c.,
will be put On trial here in the United
States circuit court during the week to
answer the charge of having lynched
Postmaster Frazer B. Baker, more than
a year ago. Besides killing the post
master, who was negro, the alleged
lynchers will have to answer for killing
Bakers infant child, and for burning
the Lake City postoffice, with all its
effects. 1t is said here that other ar
rests will be made before the case is
taken up.
This is the first time on record that
the federal government has come into
the South to take up a lynching trial.
The murder of Baker was probably the
most brutal crime known in the his
tory of the state. Baker was appointed
postmaster at Lake City, and before he
took charge of the Office, he was warned
to keep away. He refused, and an at
tempt was made to kill him, soon after
his commission was received. This
failed, and then regular band was Or
ganized to put him out of the way.
According to the testimony given at
the preliminary hearing by NEWMAN
and Lee, who turned states evidence,
the Lake City band of lynchers was or
ganized for the special purpose of kill
ing Baker. The negro had refused to
leave town, and give up the office and
the white people rebelled at the idea of
colored postmaster.

With the Fading of Beauty.

A 16-year-old girl imagines that she
is an angel, and never gets over it.
After woman gets old she thinks Of
how she was admired and compliment
ed in her youth and feels that some
great wrong was done her because she
did not remain as pretty as she was at
16. If she is married she is apt to lay
the blame on the brutality of her hus-
band; if she is an old maid, she lays it
on her father, who was poor, and thus
forced her to work. which resulted in
a STOPPING figure and harsh features.
A man never has this experience. He
is at his worst at / 6 and does not reach
his DesG until he is 20 to 80 By that
time he has acquired little sense, and
never mistakes a compliment for the
truth. -Atchison Globe.

Have No Use For Cents.

Pennies are not used by the banks of

If check, for example, is drawn for
$62. 10, the holder receives $62. 30. If
the amount is $62. II, he gets $62:15.
The split is made between the second
and third cent, and the system, which
has been in vogue for many years. is
very rarely the subject of any COM

coppers at the end of the days business
rather unlikely, but the doctrine Of av-

within a few cents. In the long run
about as many checks break on one-half
of the nickel as on the other. New

Of the witnesses before the army beef

medical staff of the army who We're in

The other two witnesses were Major
George D. Giddings and General Ct.
Hale Sypher, who had been interested
in securing contracts for supplying beef
on the hoof and on the block for the
army in Cuba. They testified that
General Eagan had told them that
the secretary of war had asked HIM to
give refrigerated beef a trial, while
Mr.. Sypher said that General Eagan
had created the impression upon
him that he preferred beef on the block
to refrigerator beef. Their testimony
throughout was contradictory to Gen
eral Eagan's testimony and Mr.. Gid
dings said that Congressman Hawley
was present at several of his conferences
with General Eagan.
A majority of the army surgeons ex-
pressed the opinion that the canned
beef was unsatisfactory as food for the
troops, but some of them thought it no
more harmful than other meat in the
Cuban climate.

Bodies of American Troops viii Be
Brought Home Later.
WASHINGTON, April 8. - Adjutant
General Corbin has cabled General Otis
saying that the Secretary of war desired
if possible that the dead of the present
campaign be returned to the United
States on the early transports and asked
the opinion of the general on the sub
ject.
General Otis cabled that it would be
impossible to send the bodies home now.
The climatic conditions are such as to
make it dangerous to the health Of the
people who would handle the bodies.
He was Of the opinion that six months
later the remains of the dead could be
returned to the United States.
General Corbin's reply to General
Otis directed that no further effort be
made at present to ship the remains of
soldiers to the United States He told
him that the secretary of war desired
that not only the graves of soldiers
buried in Manila be carefully marked,
but that each casket be also marked so
that there will be no question of identi-
flying the dead when the remains are
removed to this country. With this
care it is believed there will be but very
few unknown dead to be returned.
Many anxious relatives have asked
the war department if the-dead soldiers
were to be sent home, and these inqui-
ries resulted in the cable correspond
ence.

WASHINGTON, April BIN cable
gram to the war department General
Otis reports that the American troops
are resting, after their entrance into
Malolos. The dispatch indicates that
the American force has made no for
ward movement since. Following is
the dispatch:
Quiet prevails. Have directed troops
at Malolos and on railroad on recon-
noitering duty. Find insurgents only
In small portions in surrounding coun-
try, who retire on the approach of our
troops. Few Of our troops moving to a
new position. Preparing for contin-
ued active campaign. Army in excel
lent spirits.
NEW YORK, April ga special from
Manila says that General MacArthur's
forces will not rest at Malolos, as has
been stated in the earlier dispatches, but
are now pressing on to Calumpit, where
Aguinaldo and his cabinet, supported
by some 5000 Filipino troops, have fed
for safety. Calumpit is six miles from
Malolos and through the toughest Sec
tion of the country. From there Ag-
uinaldo can, if pressed, retreat across
the river into Pampagna province, and
1t is feared that General Macarthur
will experience considerable difficulty
i'm cornering the rebel chief. General
Macarthur has decided to press on to
Calumpit with infantry and cavalry,
letting the artillery follow as rapidly as
possible. By that movement he hopes
to cut off the retreat of Aguinaldo. The
advance will be slow, at best.
New YORK. April 3.-JournaPs Ma
Mia cable: Although the main body of
General MacArthur's division is resting
temporarily at Malolos, there will be no
let up. The main force of the insur-
gents, together with the inhabitants in
MaIolos, are at Calumpit, a small town
on the railroad six miles beyond Malolos.
MANILA, April 3.--730 p. m.-The
American forces commanded by Gener-
al Macarthur are resting at Malolos.
The mel are in good condition, consid-
ering the fatigues of the campaign. The
plans of the rebels, if they have any.
are conjectnral. Considerable rebel
forces have been collected along the
fronts of General Lawton and General
Hall, who are holding the line from the
waterworks to Lalonia. There is shoot
ing nightly along this line, apparently
for the purpose of breaking the Ameri-
cans sleep. Consequently General Law
ton has detailed five sharpshooters from
each company to attend to the rebels
and the Americans are picking off num-
bers of them.
1t is reported that 5000 rebels under
Pillar are concentrating at Cainta and
Taytay.
General King sent out reconnoiter-
ing party of two companies of the North
Dakota regiment and brisk engage
ment followed, during which seven
Filipinos were killed. On the American
side lieutenant and two privates were
wounded.

BIRD FLIGHT. !,

They flock upon the hazy air,
Silent of note and purposeful of wing.
Nor gossip of the nesting time
Disturbs their rhythmic, air born swing
Across the dying fields light shadows fall
That, for moments space, obscure the sun ;
Then swift-a graceful troop-they wing their
way,
Pursued in haste by some belated one.
Now all the stubble land turns twilight gray
Album with mystic runes and harvest rills.
Above the watching world a tiny speclz
Grows pale and fades against the southern
hills.
