"Say that Mr.. Merriam is still away

Norfolk, Va, March G.-After being ice
bound during the terrible February biz
zard. half frozen and blown to sea with
only himself on board, Captain William
Davis has at last succeeded in reaching
this port aboard his sloop yacht Nellie.
He started from Norfolk for Cuba with
a crew of four and Il party of Sportsmen
aboard on Jan 4. The blizzard caught
them at Harbur island and the SO-m.e
gale scared the crew into semi-mutiny
and they declared they would go no
further.
One of the crew attempted to get
ashore on Il sledge made of bed Stats.
When about half way to shore he broke
through the ice but at the peril of their
lives Charles Rose of North Carolina and
Mr.. Green of the firm of Green & Pear
son, Madisp1, \. j.. who were of the
NPl?le'S party, managed to get him ashore
Tile rest of the crew succeeded in getting
ashore. but the captain remained aboard
Meantime the blizzard had increased iA
violence and the Nellie was blown to
sea. The sufferings of Captain Davis
were terrible. He finally succeeded in
reaching Hog island. where he was cared
for and from whence he made his way to
Norfolk.

MANY APPLICATIONS.
secretary Alger Fairly Overrun with
Congressional Callers.

Washington, March G.-Secretary Al
ger was fairly overrun to-day by CON
gressional callers, nearly every one of
whom had one or more candidates for
appointment in the regular or volunteer
army under the terms of the reorgan-
iZation act. 1t is a safe estimate that 75
per cent. of the officers in the present
volunteer army are anxious to remain
in the service.
The secretary, in answer to a ques-
tion to-day. said that he had not pet
been able to make any selections for
appointment. There is some doubt
whether appointments of officers for the
volunteer branch of the service under
the new law will not have to he de-
ferred indefinitely, that is until such
volunteer regiments have been actually
recruited As there Is a disposition at
present to get along without these vol
unteer soldiers as long as possible, the
chances of any appointments being
specially made in the officers grades
are not very bright

Manila, March 6, p. m.-The civil
members of the United States Philip
pine commission, who arrived here on
Sunday afternoon from Hong Kong on
the United States cruiser Baltimore,
landed to-day and are now installed in
quarters especially provided for them
on the Malate water front.
While awaiting the arrival of Colonel
Charles DENLY, formerly United States
minister to China. the other civil mem
bers Of the commission will devote their
time to sightseeing and getting famil-
lar with local conditions. Until Colonel
DENLY arrives, the commission will be
incomplete and can do nothing official
ly.
The troops which arrived on Sunday
on the United States transport Senator
and those that arrived yesterday on the
transport Ohio, are disembarking and
all the prepara tions are being made to
proceed with an aggressive campaign
| before the wet season sets in.
The rebels, anticipating the American
advance, are busy in throwing up de-
fenses in every direction, and it is re-
ported that they are levying men and
supplies in every province. AS a re-
suit great dissatisfaction prevails
among the tribes ordinarily unfriendly
to the Tagalos, particularly among the
Flocanos, who assert their desire to as
sist in conquering the Tagalos if fur
nished with arms.
The following order has been issued
regarding the movements of transports:
The Arizona will sail for San Francisco,
via Hong Kong, with all the sick on
March 8; the Newport, via Nagasaki.
Japan. with all the returning officers
and their wives, on March 10; the Sean
dia, via Nagasaki, with discharged SOL
diers, on March IL, and the Morgan
City, via Nagasaki, on March y.
The rebels have been concentrating
in the vicinity of the reservoir. To-day
a patrol of company G., End Oregon vol
unteers, was taken in ambush. Two
men were wounded, but the organiza-
ton held their ground under a heavy
fire until the remainder of the COM
pany, assisted by two companies of the
1st Nebraska regiment. t1anked the enc

Two battalions of the Goth regiment
infantry have reinforced General Hale's
brigade. All the native huts have been
destroyed at Mariquina. and the coun-

rebels We're returning in small bodies
at sundown. Apparently. they have
secured a new supply of smokeless am
| munition recently. as there has been a
! noticeable difference during the last
! few days.
The Spanish commissioners. who are
| endeavoring to secure the release of
| the Spanish prisoners in the hands of

DlEDRiCHS' WANT OF TACT.
Germany Admits There Was Trouble in
Manila Hay.

Berlin. March "a high official of the
German naval department has informed
the associated press that the appointment
of Prince Henry of Prussia, brother of
Emperor William to the command of the
East Asiatic squadron had been consd-
cred for months past and was finally de-
cided upon as being the most available,
the emperor desiring to show the Ameri-
can people that he is thoroughly friendly
70 them, knowing Henry is popular in
the United States. When the official re-
ferred to4was asked whether the appoints
nent was equivalent to the disgrace OF
Admiral Won Dedrchs he said
Not exactly. If Diedrichs had shown
mere tact last summer before Manila it
would undeniably have been productive of
good results all round. Our government
unfortunately was advised too late of a
number of occurrences before Manila none
o: which We're really important but they
showed grave want of tact upon the part
Of Diedrichs.'
The above is important. it being the
first German official admission that there

reason to expect important news from
Manila within the next fortnight. 1t has
developed that General Otis has pract-
caly completed his pans for a grand on
slaught on the insurgents. which is ex-
pected to deprive them of offensive power
at least. 1t is probable that he will form a
large part of his force into columns as
soon as his reinforcements are all at hand
and will push these in parallel lines
straight through the iung.es, clearing out
the insurgents in every direction as the
troops move forward. The American
troops are getting restless and nervous
under the petty but annoying sharpshoot-
ers of the Philippines and are so anxious
to put a stop to this that General Otis
has yielded to their desires
