General King Takes Gloomy Views of
the Situation In the Philippines.
San Francisco, Cal, June q
Brigadier General Charles King who
returned from the Philippines on the
transport City of Pueblo, owing to
i'll health, in an interview SAYS:
The situation in the Philippines
is most serious. The people of the
islands will keep up a guerrilla war
fare and there is nc telling when the
hostilities will cease. They retire to
the fastness of their mountain re
treats when they are whipped and
hide in the iungles. SubsistiRg on
practically nothing, they have no
need of base OF supplies. 1t will
necessitate large force Of men to
subjugate them completely. The
war in the Philippines is by 10
means ended. Their intrenchments
are works. OF military engineering
and construction equal to the best
that the most civilized military
nations have produced. Under the
Spanish regime the Filipino learned
something of war, and We are receiv-
ing evidence of this every day.
1.-The volunteers who fought il
the Philippines are splendid lot Of
men, capable and accomplished
fighters. They behaved ike vet
Grams when under fire and there is
no limit to their courage. Their
record in that awful country will
adorn pages Of American history re-
Gently made and yet unwritten"
Gen. King will remain in this city
for few days and then leave for
the east.

Charles Brooks Smith Dead.

The news of the death Of Hon.
Charles Brooks Smith, which occurred
at his home on Ann street Thursday
evening, at O'Clock, caused universal
regret in this community, where he
has been lifelong resident and a
most prominent and popular citizen.
Capt. Smith, as he was familiarly
known, battled manfully for months
with diseases which finally terminated
fatally. A trip through the north
west gave him temporary relief, but
since his return here, about two
months ago, he steadily declined and
for two weeks past his condition was
critical at all times. The nature of his
disease was valvular affection of the
heart combined with dropsy. He pass
ed away quietly, surrounded by his
family, who have the deep sympathy
of every one.
Capt. Smith was born at Elizabeth
in 1874, the family residing there for
a few months at that time, and was
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Smith,
prominent and lifelong residents of
this city. His grandfather, Robert
Smith, settled in Wood county in 1919.
The home until recently occupied by
the deceased and his family has been
in the family for four generations, and
had been their residence continuously.
Capt. Smith received his education at
the hands of Professor J. c. Nash. He
was married to Miss Margaret Devore
in 1866, and seven children blessed this
union, five of whim survive him, viz:
Matte Brooks, Robert S., Kathryn,
Julia Kellar and Chas. B. Smith, Jr.
His home life was an ideal one. He
was a loving husband and indulgent
father, honorable and upright in all
his dealings and christian gentleman
being a member of the Fifth street
trustees
Capt. Smith saw considerable ser
vice in the civil war as a member of
the First West Virginia Cavalry He
won deserved promotion and at the
close of the war held a captaincy.
Subsequently he was engaged in
steamboating, but afterwards engaged
in the queensware business. aIn 1889
he had a large contract for the con-
struction of the lower end of the Ohio
River r. r.
He was quite prominent in politics
and was honored with many positions
of trust by his party. He served as
Recorder of the city in 1856, was a
member of council in 1877 and Mayor
from 1878 to 1880 and Sheriff of Wood
county from 1881 to 1885, succeeding
C. H. Shattuck in that office. In 1888
he was elected to Congress, serving
one term. He had the personal prom
Use of President Mckinley of the ap-
pointment as postmaster of Parkers-
burg for the present term, but the ap-
pointment went to another. He was
appointed to position in the internal
revenue office, which he held until his
death,

The Post Office to be Moved.

Word was received in this city yes
terday that the location of the Marlet-
TIA PostofIlce would be changed about
July 1st of next year.
The Government has leased for a
period of ten years half of the first
floor OF the Cram -Follett- Conner
building, now being constructed on
Putnam street just above the county
jail lot.
The portion leased by the Govern
ment is the half toward Second street,
and the room will be fitted up especial
ly for postofice purposes, with every
modern facility for properly and ex-
pedltlously handling Uncle Sans
mail traffic.
Postmaster Rose and w. ]. Cram
have been in Washington several
days to effect the arrangement
While the move is a radical one. be-
ing quite step from the present loca-
tfon, yet it is to such a place as must
bC ICCO5hlHCu dS convenient W d great
many people. 1t is outside the strict
business center, but it is in a place
where many pass who do business
down town; and geographically con-
sldered it is a move toward the centre.
The move is one which goes toward
the earlier location of the post office,
1t having been for years in the build
ing occupied by the Corner Drug Store
at Putnam and Front street. That at
time too when trade was even more
closely than now confined to lower
Front, Greene and Ohio streets.
Work on this building is necessarily
progressing slowly at present, but it is
expected that by July it will be in good
readiness for the removal of the office.
The location is exceptionally good
for receiving and sending out the mails
because of its proximity to the Union
Depot. The mails need only be CARRIED
a few hundred feet to be deposited on
the train or in the office.
