Pursuing Aguinaldo.

New York, Nov 23.--A dispatch to the

travention of all principles of interna-

ciples of justice. For it is not moral nor
just, nor in accordance with interna-

you to sweep away Spanish sovereignty
and make you independent. and after
helping you to do so l will come and buy
your sovereignty from Spain and impose
it by force of arms on the protected peo-

Insurgents Concentrate.

Manila, Nov. 23.-1: :25 D. m-The insur-
gents from the north are concentrating
at .Iontalban and Sar Matto. where it
is expected they will make resistance to
the American advaL>e. The Spaniards

A rcconno:sar ce to the northwest of San
Matcc on Tuesday developed the fact that
the re bells We're moving stores and men
to Mcntalban. The number of the insur-
gents is unknown. A reconnoiss nee
made yesterday showed that 200 rebels
are entrenched at San Mateo and others
in the valley between tha,e and Mariqui-

British People Confident.

New York, Nov. 23.--A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says: It General
Joubert We're in possession of all the war
news contained in to-days London
journals he would not have a single
helpful cue. He would be forced to
pick and choose among a dozen different
estimates of the strength of the British
force in lower Natal and on the south
ern and western frontiers of the Free
State, with the certainty that everyone
was below the mark. He would not
find any clew to the distribution or COM
position of Clery's troops between Est
court and Durham. nor Il single glimpse
Of what is going on within General
Whites lines at I.adysmith.
! He would also have reason to question
his own sanity We're he to attempt to re-
, concile the conflicting theories advanced
by military writers respecting his STRAIT
egy, immediate objects and point of view.
This situation causes beWlderment. but
no alarm. Confidence is inspired by the
superiority of numbers which the Brit
! ish army now has in lower Natal and
on the borders of the Free State and by
the assurance that Ladysmilh is doubly
safe when portion of Joubert's force
has been Withdrawn for series of
southern raids and for the hard opera
ton of blocking Clery's advance.
Military men in close touch with the
war office assert that no misgivings are
entertained there. and lha no news is
withheld from the public. The lack
, of war news encourages some optimists
to write hopefully of the alleged inten-
tion of Hoffmeyer and Schreiner to in
duee President Steyn to draw out from
the campaign and sue for peace but this
result lies outside the range of serious
/ discussion.
The Star with a truer instinct, displays
a Vienna dispatch containing informa
ton from st. Petersburg That the Rus
slams have occupied Herat. This is not
improbable as it comedies With the fore
casts which the Times published 10 days
i ago from its st. Petersburg correspond
ent. But the report lacks deiiniteness
and official authority. 1t may easily
be that a surprise of this kind has been
i carefully planned for the entertainment
of the queens guests at Windsor and it
would be We'll timed for critical move

Self Inflicted Wounds.

New York, Nov. %. - Self inflicted
wounds are SO frequent in the American
army in Luzon, AYERS the Washington
correspondent of the Herald. that Gem
eral Otis has been compelled to issue
instructions directing that strict in
vestigation be made of each case of this
character in order that proper action may
be taken. The immediate effect of these
instructions was the issuance of orders
by General Wheeler, then at Angeles,
organizing boards for the investigation
of two cases. One of the boards consist
ing of First Lieutenant Coolidge, First
Lieutenant and Assistant Surgeon +. w.
Pinkham and First Lieutenant j. &. Vel
born, will investigate the case of Sergeant
d. H. Barr, Company NJ. Ninth infantry,
and another consisting of Major James
Regan, First Lieutenant +. w. kochler
and First Lieutenant conncll. Ninth in
fantry. will inquire into the case of James
A. Hart, Company \, Ninth infantry.
The results of the investiga ton have not
been received at the department. Issu-
ance of General Otis instructions and the
organization of the boards are the result
of this communication addressed to the
adjutant general of the department of
the Pacific by the chief surgeon:
self inflicted wounds of the hand and
respectively of the feet, claimed to be
accidental, usually occurring on outposts,
are so frequent that I have the honor to
suggest that all such cases he carefully

Chinese Again Protest.

tered protest because of the action Of
General Otis too strictly excluding Chi
nese from the Philippine archipelago. In
struction has been sent to General Otis
to carry out the provisions of the Chinese
exclusion law as applied to this country.
The effect of this will be that General
otls will modify his regulations so as to
permit the entrance of merchants and
others belonging to unrestricted class of

A GREAT AWAKENING AMONG
THE PEOPLE OF SEABOARD
AIR LINE.

The agricultural interests are being
elevated and tie farming class manifest
ing much interest in seeking higher
theoretical as well as practical knowl-
edge of farming.
The Seaboard Air Line, which is CON
stantly doing something practical for the
people along its road, instituted wise
project some six months ago, in estab-
fishing Circulating Library Department
for the benefit of the farmers on its
line OF road They have now three Of
these libraries in constant use, and are
arranging to add several more. This
work is under the auspices of the Ia
dustrial Department of the $. \. i.
Railroad. and one Of the most energetic
Georgia ladys, Mrs. Eugene =. Heard,
who is 4 S. y. L. Industrial Agent, is
general superintendent of this library
work. These libraries are applied for,
by the lady industrial agents at the diff
fcrent points on the line of road, through
Mrs. Heard, and they are sent from
station to station and allowed to remain
thirty days at each station, giving the
farmers access to its contents; thence
forwarded to other stations. These lib
raries are filled with valuable books and
periodicals treating upon farming, do
nestle economy, and practical sugges-
tons on all subjects. The library work
started by the Seaboard Air Line is very
popular among the farmers along the
line, and they are expecting great benefit
to come from the movements.
Recently, a prominent lady. Mrs. NJ.
\. Limpscomb, of Athens, Ga, showing
her appreciation of the work, donated
to the Seaboard Air Line through Mrs.
Heard, a complete library, and in honor
of this lady. Mrs. Heard has named this
valuable addition, THE Lipscomb Lib
rary."
We understand that Mrs. Heard is
soon to have more of these Libraries sent
to her by the enterprising people OF her
native State. Georgia.. The Seaboard
Air Line is to be congratulated on hav-
ing among its numerous workers such
lady as Mrs. Heard and such Il friend
as Mrs. Lipscomb.
Surely the day star OF promise is fast
rising upon the sons of tod about the
Seaboard Air Line, for when the fair
ladies Of the land are doing as much
as these Seaboard Air Line ladies, sue
cess is sure to follow.
