nessee Regiment.

Manila, Oct. I'll o. m.-The
Tennessee regiment, the last of
the volunteers, will sail for the
United States tomorrow, on the
transport Indiana, after a week
passed in the harbor. Most of the
year these troops have been sta
toned In the southern islands.
Their colonel says they are in ex-
cellent health and have been
much benefited by the service.
673 men will sail. Three officers
aud 81 men remain to enter into
business here. Sixteen officers
and 165 men have been discharg-
ed for re enlistment. Two men
were killed in action, and one
was killed accidentally. Cha plain
Legand and seven men died of
disease.
Aguinaldo, In a proclamation
announcing the release of the
American prisoners and author
izing Filipino soldiers in the
northern province to return to
their homes, says: "In America a
there is a great party that insists
on the government recognizing
Filipino independence. That par
ty will compel the United States
to fulfill the promises made to US
in all solemnity and good faith,
though not put into writing
Wherefore, We must show our
gratitude and maintain our posl-
tion more resolutely than ever.
We should pray to God that tn
great Democratic party may win
the next presidential election and
imperialism fail in its mad at
tempts to subjugate us by force
of arms. There are some Ameri-
cans IN the Philippines who have
joined US, because they disap
prove war of what Mr.. Atkin
son calls criminal aggression
When offered chance to return
to their own mp, they declined" "
Throughout the proclamation
Aguinaldo denounces "the i'm
perlalists,' instead of 1.-The Amer
cans" as in former documents.
He calls the world TO witness that
the FIlIpinos have not broken
the alliance made with the
Americans through Admiral
Dewey and the United States
consuls at Hong Kong and Sing
apore."
The people, on seeing the
American prisoners, cried out
1--WE do not want war against the
United States. We only defend
our independence against the
lmperialists. The sons of tha,
mighty nation are our friends"

IMPORTANT PAPERS FOUND BY AMER
ICANs.
Washington, Oct. 9.-Mail ad
vices, which have Just reached the
war department from the Philip
pines tell of an important capture
about month ago. The small
Sunboat Callao, while cruising in
the Bay of Manila, noticed a ban
ca, with a number of Chinese on
board, going down the coast. The
vessel was challenged, and as the
men did not respond the gunboat
Immediately seized the banca.
Upon overhauling the boat some
$14, 900 in money was found and
number of papers and doc.
uments bearing insurgent gen
erals signatures, with official
stamps attached. These doc
nments were found to be instruc-
tions to the men to proceed south
and recruit another regiment.
The guard of Binondo district
made a raid on a house that had
been under suspicion as resort
for insurgent officers. The only
persons found were two Chinese.
Upon searching the premises,
however, box containing num-
ber of papers conclusively pro-
wing the existence of contracts
with Japan for the supply of arms
and ammunition by the latter to
the insurgents.

READY FOR ENDEAvoRERs.
International c. e. Convention to BE
Held at Detroit This Week
and Next.

DETROIT, MICH, July 2-The Sabbath
was strictly observed to-day on the Chris
tian Endeavor grounds, the site Of the In
ternational 's9 convention. Some OF the
concessionaires who had been slow In get
ting their tents and equipment in place
asked permission to work Sunday, but con-
sent was promptly refused by John Strong,
chairman of the general '99 committee. who
stated that nothing inconsistent with Chris
tian principles would be allowed on the
grounds. Works of necessity, such as pre-
pairing and serving meals, will, of course,
be permitted next Sunday as on other days.
All the local committees will this week
transfer their quarters from the thirteenth
floor Of the Majestic building to the en-
campment grounds. The undulating can
vas roofs and tluttering flags of the newly
arisen white city, which from Wednesday
until the following Tuesday will be a cen
ter of religious enthusiasm, are now plainly
visible from the offices of the general COM
mittee two miles away. Tents Endeavor
and Williston, the two big twin canvas
auditoriums, are complete. save for the
decoration, which Is in progress; The pre-;
dominating colors. will be crimson and
white, the C. b. colors.
Tents Endeavor and Williston each has g
comfortable seating capacity Of 10000. and
the platforms each seat 1000. including
choirs of about 500 voices. The speaker
platform. projects outward from the mair
stage; Around this projection are table:

admirably perfected, and confusion will b'
| hardly possible. Non-delegates will be ad

are all ample and conveniently arranged
All space designed for restaurants and re

Rapid street car service Is expected to b.

running nearest to the grounds. will rul
cars every twenty seconds. There will b

Ample accommodations have been secure

CINCINNATI. O., July 2:-General Mel
son A. Miles was in the city to-day. He
was very wary and reticent when request

Plague Steamer Nippon Maru Fumi-
gated to Satisfaction of
Health Officers.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-The now thor
eughly disinfected steamer, Nippon Maru.
which was thought to have brought germs
of the bubonic plague to this coast, was
again docked to-day. Just after her arrival
she was fumigated by the United States
quarantine officials and sent from Angel is
land to her dock. The state board of
health ordered her into the stream for an
other fumigation, and this has now been
done TO the satisfaction of State Quarantine
Cficer Cohen. All the laws have now been
obeyed, and the work of discharging and
loading will go On day and night, and 1t is
hoped to get the vessel away on her return
trip TO the Orient by next Friday. BY that
time her officers and crew will be out of
quarantine, II no new cases break out, and
they will at once rejoin their ship.

The report stated that the passengers and
crew arrived from the Nippon Maru to the
quarantine station are all well. The two
stowaways who jumped from the vessel
notwithstanding the customs patrol, and
were drowned were shown by an examina-
tion to have been well men. All the pas
sengerS and crew were removed to the
Angel Island quarantine, where they are
still detained under observation. The yes.
sci was disinfected thoroughly and dis.
charged from quarantine and a new crew

BLIND, YET FIRST-H0N0R MAN.
John E. Swearingen's Marvellous Rec
ord at South Carolina
College.

COLUMBIA, 8. c.. July 2-John E.
Swearingen, Of Edgefeld, made totally
blind by an accident when years old, has
just graduated from the South Carolina COL
lege at the age of 20, taking the full classi-
cal course and making the highest record
during the entire four years of any man
since the founding of the college the first
part of this century. He was first-honor
man. delivering an Grafton entitled Our
Heritage"
The faculty regards Mr.. Swearingen as a
wonder. DR.. ]. w. Flynn. D. D., says he
had been a professor only ten years, but
had spent years in half a dozen colleges of
high standing. including Heidelberg, "and,"
said he. Il never met man to compare
with Swearingen. I sincerely regret the
alumni have not a fund to send him to the
best places in the world thoroughly to de-
velop his powers. His family has not
the means to do this" In exemplification
of the mans extraordinary faculties Dr.
Flynn said he had tested him in various
ways ever to his own astonishment, when
one day he handed Swearingen a wooden
nut-cracker. The cracking portion was a
finely carved head OF Bismarck, giving a
capital likeness. The young man passed his
fingers over the face and unhesitatingIy
said: why, that is Bismarck" A class and
room mate read aloud his studies in Swear
ingen's hearing. That was how he studied
in college.
