A recent cablegram from Manila

Hamilton Hawkins played prominent
part. The lieutenant is son of Gen.
Hamilton S. Hawkins, who distin-
euished himself in the fighting near
Santiago. Gen. Hawkins is Judge
George Gray's brother-in- law. The
son was assigned to West Point from

the deed in which he figured is Us fol.

November 10th:
Probably the most daring exploit Of
the campaign took Place this morning
in front Of Bamban. Nineteen Ameri.

NEW FIRE-FlGHTING OUTFIT.
The Pullman Shops In This City Egnippnd
with an SIS,0o0 Automatic Plant

WITH an Nlo,oOu bNtOutHttC P1aut
An automatic fire-tgbting plant has
Just been installed In tho local shops
OF tho Pullman Palace Gar Co., at a
cost of $4,000, and as tho company
already has an efficient fire brigade,
fully equipped, Ii is in excellent shape
to protect it's property against serious
damage by flames.
The new service extends to every
portion Of tho plant, which is ono Of
the largest In the city, making as com
plete an automatic outfit as cuuld be
desired, thus being protection not
only to the buildings but to the cars,
which are exceedingly valuable. The
plant is known as the Kane sprinkler
and the breaking out Of q fire would
start sprays of water all around it,
and the chances arc that an inciEient
biaze would be quickly extingnished.
The equipment consists of series of
pipes SO arranged as to be placed in
service by hsat They are exposed
wherever there is any possible danger.
The pipes are kept full OF water
from the city supply, but as II
was deemed unwise 10 depend entirely
on city water a 1,000-gallon pump has
been installed in connection with it,
and in case of fire the pump which Is
to draw water from the Brandywine,
would be put in service ut once, which
would add to the force Of the streams
thrown from tho pipes.

now to netess the aaa,ons Party.

A question of considerable interest
among Regular Republicans Of Della
ware just now is how to defeat the Ad-
dicks Republican party at the ccming
election. For it is apparent that the
Addicks Republicans will insist upon
being the whole Republican party of
the State, taking all the nominations,
from Presidential electors to inspectors,
and compelling the Regular Republic
cans to combine with them or make
nominations of their own. In other
words, the Regular Republicans will
have to become Addicks Republicans
or 60 1t alone.
In the quandary of the Regular Re-
publicans, the Democratic party OF
Delaware should come to their relief.
1t should, from the first, array itself
solidly against Addicksism. 1t should
make such nominations for the Legis.
lature as will be an absolute guarantee
that their election will mean SO many
votes against sending Mr.. Addicks te
tho United States Senate. No more
Farlows, Kings OF ClarKs should bt
given an opportunity to go to Dovel
and give support to the arch-enemy o
Democracy, instead of driving the nail'
into his political coffin.
Ii the Democratic party will do this
and make it's legislative nomination
above the slightest suspicion of Ad
doksisn, the duty of the Regular Re
publicnns will be greatly simplifiod
They can. in districts where they hav
no chance of electing nominees of the,
own political persuasion, cast thei
votes solidly for the Democratic can
ddates. Thus, they will aid in elect
ing Legislature which, no matte
what else it may be, will array itse
firmly against the Senatorial preter
sions of Mr.. Addicks, from the frs
day of the session until tho last.
by working together on the line {
! honest, anti-Addiclss nominations fc
the Legislature, the Democrats an
Regular Republicans will be able
bury Addicksism in Delaware at II
+ election next November.

Fraud Need Not Feel Encouraged.

We do not agree in the pessimistic
view expressed in certain quarters, that
the result of the election cases in the
Kent county court will open the way TO
perfect saturnalia of fraud and cor
ruption ut future elections in this
State. The stringent provisions Of our
Constitution still remain, and vigorous
prosecutions can be instituted. 1t is
not to be expected that oil prosecutions
will be cast out on technical objections.
or that the proof in all cases will fail
10 establish the guilt of the accused
beyond a reasonable doubt. Besides,
the corruptionists will likely become
ward publicity and expense of repeated
prosecutions.
That good results will attend the
recent prosecutions IN Kent county
there can be no doubt. 1t is safe to
presume, for instance, that the next
election in Duck Creek hundred viii
not be attended by the open and shame
less use of corruption money that char
aoterized the last election there. The
fact has been demonstrated that people
will be on the watch for fraud, and vii
take steps TO prosecute the perpetrators
Just so long as the necessity for sucl
action remains.
We believe that great majority o
the people Of Delaware ate in favor o
honest politics, and that among tn
number are many men of force an,
determination who will fight the evi
of suffrage corruption with all possibl
vigor. II the corruptionists continu
their disreputable work, the certaint
Of prosecution and the threat of con
viction and punishment will be thei
portion. If the evil work goes on, tn
good work will continue to fight it.

A wnrn,nE and a Moral.

When the Rev. Charles Collins, a
negro preacher Of Kent county, was
convicted Of attempted bribery of a
voter and sentenced to term in prison,
last year, the Union Republican leaders
were indignant. They were going to
carry the case to the Supreme Court
of the United States, if necessary, in
prosecuted fellow worker in Ubiquitous
politics. He was not to be imposed
upon because Of his black skin, and
SO they took an appeal in his case
and furnished bail for his release,
pending the tremendous legal efforts
they were going to employ in his behalf.
This, however, was Just before the
election. The Rev. Mr.. Collins, natur-
ally, was deeply touched by such evil
dences of concern foi his liberty, and
on election day did yeoman service for
the Union Republican ticket. The next
| week his bondsmen surrendered HIM to
court, his counsel abandoned the appeal
proceedings, and the Rev. Mr.. Collins
was sent to Jail, where he served his
| term.
| There should be q warning in this
incident, and also great moral lesson
1t is that any negro Of influence amons
his people who does the corrupt worl
of the Union Republican managers anG
gots into trouble as result, will b,
left in the lurch lust as soon as til,
election is over and his political use
fulness is at an end. 1t is not 70
him that able counsel will fight deter
minedly for technicalities that vii
break down the prosecution. or 70
reasonable doubts that will interfer
to avert conviction. He will be lei
to his own resources, and TO lionel
reflections within the four walls Of
jail cell.

rney pursue Them aud siay many.

Fully thirty Thousand American
troops are now engaged in the active
war operations in the Philippine
Islands. They are, no doubt, the finest
fighting troops in the world, and that
they are able to harass the native
soldiers is not to be wondered at. How
we'll they are pursuing the campaign
at present is thus told in paragraph
contained in an Associated Press special
cable from Manila:
The insurgents are mortally afraid OF
the Americans, however strong their
position. They make but brief and
feeble resistance, and run when the
terrible American yell reaches their
ears, whereupon the Americans pursue
them and slay many.
There is no doubt that these few lines
correctly portray the situation. The
Filipinos are brave people, out they
are feeble. Compared with our men of
splendid fighting qualities they are but
pigmies. They never had the war eS-
rerience they have undergone during
the past eighteen months, for, although
they have been fighting for liberty and
independence for over three hundred
years, they never encountered such
soldiers as are now pursuing them.
With the Spanish troops they could
cope with some degree of success, but
they are oyerawed from the first by the
superior prowess and military skill oi
the American soldiers. They can only
make an iEeffectual stand and then fee
precipitately before their pursuers.
And then, in the words of the dis
patch, our soldiers pursue them ant
task to our soldiers, many OF then
have told in interviews and letters t,
their friends at home. They have be
come disgusted at the bloody, pastim
OF "killing niggers, and only the steri
sense of military duty keeps them t
their task. They cannot work up th
inspiration that would fill their soul
with martial ardor could they but b
sent against foemen worthy of thei
steel.''
And what credit can attach to thi
great country in bitterly prosecuting
WdE VI bhi5 biuti dup1udi SHtti
acter? The end is in sight the fore
BILE submission of these patriotic per
pie, or their complete annihiliatior
And all because they persist in keepin
up their brave struggle for liberty an
Independence.
How much better 1t would be to ste
this awful pursuit and butchery an
call truce. To hold conference wit
the Filipino leaders, instead Of insis
ing upon their absolute surrender. Z

suing is. hut to write down the goverl

The attitude of the imperialistic press
towards Aguinaldo, the Philippine
leader, is precisely the attitude Of the
British press and British leaders
towards George Washington during the
Revolutionary War. Washington was q
"rebel.'' "traitor," renegade, :"
an assassin, and everything, in fact,
that was mean and disloyal in British
eyes. And he was also continually re-
fusing to stand still and permit himself
and his army 10 be captured. As the
Revolution ended in the establishment
of the American Republic, SO may the
war in the Philippines end in the estab-
lisEment there of tho free government
that the people have been fighting fol
foi three centuries,

A very interesting congress will as
semble, at the summons OF the Pope, at
Ensiedlen abbey, which is in Switzer-
land, to discuss very interesting sub
ject. His Holiness having had occasion
to refer to a number Of documents of
the present century stored in the arch
ives Of the Vatican, has discovered
that some of them cannot be deciphered
because both paper and ink have yirtu-
ally perlshed. The age of wireless
telegraphy, CT Roentgen rays, of liquid
ali, OF Lyddite shells and of Maxim
guns "cannot make paper equal to that
Of 5000 years ago, or ink such as was
used in the dark ages. So the chem
lists and Librarians are to meet in
council. They will discover, most
likely, that we can make as good paper
as ever, and ink too, when We try and
when we use the materials which wo
know to be right; and there is no doubt
that for public records such paper and
such ink ought to be used. Perhaps,
too, the men Of science may comfort
themselves with the reflection that the
decay Of ninety-nine hundredths of the
writings and publications of today will
not be an unmixed calamity.
