when they put the play together. Its
story is interesting, its scenes are clever,

ROOT WILL PUSH FILIPINO CAMPAIGN There Will be 50,0U0 Men
 There for Service AT END OF RAINY SEASON War from Now on Will be Prosecuted With All Possible Energy-All
 Men Necessary Will
 Be Sent
AT END OF RAINY SEASON

Plattsburg, N. Y, August S.-The war in the Philippines is to be prosecuted with yigor that ought to result in a speedy ces- sation of hostilities there.
 The correspondent of the Associated Press saw Secretary Root tonight in the office of the Hotel Champlain just after he had said goodbye to the president and was prepar- ing to take the 945 train for Washington
 Will the war in the Philippines be pros ecuted vigorously from now on?' was asked by the Associated Press representa- tive.
 "Yes sir. the war in the Philippines from now on will be prosecuted with all possible energy, All the men, arms and supplies nec- essary to end the trouble in he Islands will be furnished at the earliest possible moment"
 How large a force will be at the dis posal of the commanding general?' was asked.
 "rhere will be 5O,O0O men there ready for active service at the c.ose of the rainy season, about the last of 0. tober, and more wilt be sent there if necessary"
 As 10 the rumor published in some of the papers that President Mckinley and he were not agreeable on the policy to be pur- sued in the islands, MT. Root said:
 .'Of course that is all nonsense
 When asked whether General Otis will be can forces in the Philippines, Mir. Root re- piled that he had nothing to say on that point at this time.
 more emphatic or determined than Secre- tary Root in his avowed policy of ending the trouble in the Philippines. He seldom talks for publication, and the fact that he has come from two days conference with President Mckinley adds interest to his words.

COURT OPENS AT
 KEYNES e,3O O'CLOCK
Thousands Crane Their Necks to catch a Glimpse of DreYfas as He Emerg.s
 from the Jail

Rennes, August 8.-The police arrange ments in the vicinity of the Lycee this morning were exactly the same as those of yesterday, but not more than 100 persons had gathered at the early hour-6:S0 o'clock fixed for the opening of the days pro- ceedings in the trial of Captain Dreyfus.
 The prisoner was conducted to the Lycee at 6l5, and exactly the same precautions were observed as on yesterday.
 As soon as Dreyfus was inside the Lycee, however, the police cordons were removed and the few spectators were allowed to circulate freely In the streets around the building.
 No demonstration was made on the ar rival of Matrie Laborie or Choinine, coun- sel for Dreyfus, or the members of the courtmartial, or General Choinine, form- erly minister of war, who attends the court to give necessary explanations as to the secret dossicr.
 General Coinine appeared in uniform. His presence was not expected until today or tomorrow when Paleologue, one of the prominent officials of the foreign office, will take up the task of enlightening the judges regarding the dossier.
 OosstcT ID HI SirohS hOx
 General Choinine was accompanied by an officer carrying a leather wallet, in which were M. Choinine's notes and other papers referring to the dossier, which itself re- mains in strong box in a room contiguous to the court room. This strong box is guarded night and day by an officer espe- cially detailed for this duty.
 The secret sitting lasted until Il :45, when the court adjourned until tomorrow morn ing.
 The day thus far passed quietly. There was much bigger crowd than yesterday assembled in the hope of obtaining a glimpse of Dreyfus during the few seconds occupied by him in crossing the Avenue De La Care on the way back from -ihe Lycee to the prison.
 At the conclusion of the sitting the crowd, numbering about two thousand persons, and composed purely of sight seers, was allowed to pass freely before the Lycee until few moments before Dreyfus emerged. Then the chief of gen. darmes made a sign to his assistants, who blew a whistle. Before the shrill sound finished the chatter of hoofs was heard and moment later a strong detachment of iiouhtSN SShudiHitS, lOiiOWeu Dy gen. darmes on foot galloped into the avenue from side street, wheeled round and di- vided into two attachments. stretching across the avenue and cleared a space of 300 yards in front of the Lycee.
 The horsemen rode on the sidewalks, clearing everybody out Even the newspa- per men were driven away. Then de- tachment of infantry, headed by bugler, dashed up at the double and formed across the avenue from the door of the Lycee to the postern gate of the Manutention.
 The soldiers were stationed shoulder to shoulder facing outwards and towards the spectators who were crushed behind the mounted gendarmes, a hundred yards off.

FOLDING SPANISH PRISONERS
= State Department Considers That This Last Move of the Filipinos Will Bring Issue Squarely Before the
 Foreign Governments

Manila, August S.-Agulnaldo has appeal ed to the powers for recognition of "Fili- pino independence" in document dated from Tarlac, June 27, and signed by Buen camno.
 It has been received by all the foreign consuls in Manila, with the request that they forward it to their respective govern ments.
 The F,ilipinos use their old argument that they had conquered the sovereignty of these islands from Spain before the signing of the treaty of Paris, and therefore. Spain was in no position to cede them to the United States They argue that the posi- tion of 1000 Spanish prisoners captured, with their arms, fighting against the Fflipinos is eloquent proof of the nullity of the Spanish sovereignty, as when they surrendered "Spain's hold was irrevocably lost"
 The document then says: Replying to the Spanish commissioners request to re- lease the prisoners because Spain no longer has political interests in the island. we asked for treaty of peace and friendship between Spain and the F1ipinos, whereby the prisoners would be released. But the commissioners refused, because it would mean recognition of our independence. This is equivalent to saying that the prisoners must stay in our hands indefinitely, be- cause their possession is our most effica- cous method to adjust our account with Spain and obtain from her recognition of our independence"
 Conquered All But Manila
 The Filipinos claim that they conquered all the country except Manila. and that they co-operated in securing the latter's equalization by surrounding 1t at the cost of thousands of lives.
 They also claim they conquered the coun- try unassisted except for sixty guns that Admiral Dewey gave Aguinaldo, and that Admiral Dewey and the British and Bel gian consuls recognized the Filipino sov- ereignty by asking for passes to visit tho country.
 They repeat the claim that they have letters from the American consuls and gen. erals recognizing their sovereignty and promising that Americans would recognize their independence, (which was to the dis position of the powers"
 The Filipinos attempt to make capital of the statement that Admiral Dewey had such confidence that Aguninaldo would serve and fulfill the rules of war that he gave him 100 Spanish prisoners which the American navy had captured. Finally the Filipinos appeal to the pow CTS to influence Washington to bring to termination the unjust war which Is de- vastating the country"

GOVERNOR
 ATKINSON DEAD
One of Democratic Party's Lead

DEFEATED GEN. L. A. EVANS
In Famous Gubernatorial Race, and Broke Down an Established Precedent by Which Confed-

l Newman, Ga, August 8.-Former Cover | nor w. Y. Atkinson died at his residence l at S:52 o'clock this morning He had been i'll for ten days and his physicians gave up l hope for his recovery several days ago. l Governor Atkinson was one of the leaders l of the democratic party in this state He
 was elected governor in 1894 at the age of l 39, after having served six years in the l house of representatives being speaker of l that body for several sessions
 l In his first gubernatorial race he defeat l ed General Clement A. Evans, noted con- | federate soldier, and in this campaign he | broke down the prestige confederate 1 veterans previously had for obtaining pub 1 lie favor.
 1 His second race was against Seaborn 1 Wright, a combination popuist and prohi- | bition candidate.
 1 During the Spanish-American war Cover l nor Atkinson took great interest in the or | ganization of the volunteer regiments for 1 service and obtained many concessions i from Washington for the Georgia soldiers. l Since the expiration of his last term as | governor he has been engaged in the prac- l tice of law in this county.
 | The circumstances surrounding his death l were peculiarly sad, and have cast gloom l over the city of Newman and community. | Early this morning it was conceded that l in few hours the great man would pass | away, and his anxious and inquiring friends | formed an almost unbroken chain as they 1 went to where the statesman lay, hoping | for some ground for hope. Sorrow was de- | picted on the countenance of those advised 1 of his condition, and the expression on their l faces was evidence that the end was near. l Possibly no man ever passed away in a city where so nearly every citizen, high and low, rich and poor, called to speak words of sympathy to the family. Slowly he sank until death frightened its grasp, and he be- gan gasping, and as little child he pass ed to sleep and his spirit took its flight. A few intimate friends were in the house, and on the lawn there were clusters of his friends, hoping to be of service. 'He is breathing his last" said Dr. North, his family physician, and a moment later he announced that the governor was dead. Death had chosen the life of this fearless man, true friend, loving father and devoted husband.

ITALIANS MAKE TT
 A SERIOUS PROBLEM
Their Report Sets Out That Louis jana Affair Was One of Un-
 usual Atrocity.

Washington, August S.-The state de- partment has received from the Italian au- thorities a copy of the complete report made by the Marquis Romano, secretary of the Italian embassy here, on his personal Investigation of the recent lynching of five Italians at Tallulah, La. The report pre- sents the affair in a serious light. As a whole the Italian authorities view the mat ter of the lynching as one of unusual atrocity and without the mitigating cir- cumstances which had been urged in pre- vious affairs of this kind.
 In describing the first affray, which led up to the lynching, Marquis Romano's re- port states that Dr. Hodges was the first to draw his weapon and that until he had fired one shot and was about to fire the second one at Charles Defata, who was at that time prostrate on the ground. did the brother, Joe Defata, fire his shotgun from the store nearby.
 In Defense of His Brother
 This last shot, 1t is pointed out, was in defense of the fallen brother, and was not a wanton attack upon Dr. Hodges. The circumstances leading up to the affray are described in detail According to this &C., count Charles Defata was alone when pr. Hodges passed. There is no effort made in the report to obscure the fact that Charles Defata made the first offensive overture, but 1t is contended that this was not ac- companied by the use of fire arms or even movement to draw them. It is said, however, that Charles Defata upbraided Dr. Hodges in an offensive way for having killed an animal and accompanied this by blow of the fist. Then 1t is stated that Dr. Hodges shot at Defata. Whether or not the shot took effect it was not possible for the Italian authorities to learn, as the bodies Of the men after being lynched were dishgured and disposed of. But all events It Is stated that Charles Defata was on the ground following the shot from Dr. Hodges weapon. At this point, Joe Defata

AGUINALDO'S APPEAL
 BRINGS UP THE ISSUE
As to What Course the Foreign Govern ments Will Pursue-Ths United
 States Fears Nothing

Washington, August S.-The state de- pertinent is entirely without information as to any address by Aguinaldo to ths foreign powers for recognition of the Fil- ipinos, either as belligerents or as consti- tuting an independent government The appeal is looked upon, however, as creat- ing no particular change, as 1t has been the desire of Aguinaldo and his associates an the first to secure such recognition. sshe appeal puts this desire into r2.hsr form4l shape, and it may bring to issue the ssr7- tude of outside governments.
 There is no apprehension, however, that any foreign government will heed the ad- dress. The international usage as to re- cognition was quite fully developed during the Cuban insurrection, at which time the question was exhaustively discussed in con- gress, and was the subject of lengthy con alterations in the messages of the presi- dent.
