AIANILA'S STRANGE PANICS.

Our Forces There Unable to Learn
y the Mystery ofThcir Outbreak.
Kansas City Journal: All of the re-
cent letters from Manila refer to the
panics which seized the inhabitants Of
the city at frequent intervals during
the days just preceding the recent bat
tie. One of these stampedes Is thus
described by Captain Elliott of the Cof-
feyVille company In the Twentieth Kan
sas: about $50 o'clock the natives
and Chinese were observed TO be run
ming in every direction. Presently the
soldiers began to come from every uve-
nue. in the direction of the barracks.
They moved quickly, but with remark
able GOODNESS and steady demeanor.
Corporal Barber, whom I had sent on
an errand near the barracks of the
First Battalion, came 10 my room, sa-
luted like the good soldier that he Is,
and said: Captain. there Is something
wrong going on In the ictT; the natives
are fairly flying in all directions, the
Chinese are running like rats to their
holes. nnd the stores are being closed
Like reports came in from all drec-
tions from men who had been In differ
ent, parts of the city. The call to quar-
tiers was sounded. the rolls were called
and every man OF my company not on
duty answered here" The same was
true OF the other companies of our bat
talon. Two or three officers were
caught away from home and did not
set in on time.
"On the Escolta, at the bridge OF
Spain. and in the walled city the scene
that followed was beyond my powers of
description. No one seemed to be
aware Of the cause OF the stampede. I
never witnessed anything like 1t In my
life. The wave of excitement swept over
the entire city after the manner OF
cyclone. The street cars were jammcd
together In groups; rrabos' carts pill
ed up against, one another and barrica-
ded the narrow streets, Quilez were in
tcrlocked, overturned and their occu-
pants thrown out; doors and shutters
were closed and barred: men. women
and children ran hithcr and thIther and
crowded and jostled one another In
their frantic efforts TO escape some
dreadful calamity.
1.-THE soldiers alone behaved with ad-
mirable coolress Guards were doubled
and trebled. In an incredible short
space Of time platoons of infantry were
thrown across each approach to the
great bridge. and no one but soldiers
afoot wac allowed to pass. Armed men
took possession Of the Escolta and the
avenues leading thereto and used their
persuasive powers to calm the storm
and bring order out OF chaos. Amcrl-
can courage and n display of American
sense and Judgment prevailed. In less
than an hour the 'whirlwlnd' had pass
cd and trade and traffic were resumed.
The question with the soldier was,

declined to sign u petition to the score
tary OF the navy urging that one OF the
new cruisers be named Gettysburg"
and he has written letter giving his
reasons for refusing his signature. In
the main the spirit that has prompted
the governor'sactionis commendable, but
1t appears at the same time to be lit

would in any way offend any true sout
erner or act as q strain on the era OF
good feeling that now exists between the
two sections. The southerners showed
their valor at Gettysburg, and even IL
defeat did meet them there the name Is
as dear to them as q reminder OF their
heroism as 1t Is to the northern soldier
who conquered.
Logically speaking the southerners
might take just rs much offense in the
names Of the cruisers New Orleans and
Atlanta. where they suffered Just as Sc
we're reverses as they did on the Penn
sylvania battlefield. The sections are
now firmly cemented, and both sides
having treasured memories of the civil
war any exaggerated concessions to
the one or the other become insincere,
and therefore an insult to intelligence
an offense against true dellcacy and
mochery Of chivalry.
We do not see any objection to nam
Ing one Of the new cruisers "Gettys-
burg" and We are morally certain there
would be no protest from the south.

Not many weeks ago o traveller was
taking his last journey. He was one
who had Travelled much and long, up
and down the highways Of this busy
land. He knew well the interests and
occupations Of its crowded. swarmIng
life. Some part In It he had taken, and
his human interest In all that belonged
to the life of his kind had been large
and active. 8
But now TWAS all over and done-he
had left the crowded highway-he look
ed no more upon the busy scenes that
had interested him, the traveller jour-
| neyed In silence apart from his fellows;
he was going home. He was going
back once for all, to his own people, to
his native hills and valleys, so long
known and so well loved by him.

courage and strength 10 weaker souls,
and the remembrance OF the height of

OF our own. He loved simple ways and
plain things. he loved old friends and
never lost one through forgetfulness
Old scenes and places and soHgS were
dearest to him. He was loyal to his
kindred. to his early memories. to the
graves of his fathers, to the dead as to

to his own soul. He could not be other

One OF the first things q physician

Is to ask TO see the tongue. He does this
to-day. perhaps. more through follow
Ing the traditions of the past than be-
cause he expects to learn a great deal
by such an inspection. Formerly. the
means OF arriving at diagnosis were
fewer and less precise than they now
are. and the aspect OF the tongue was
held to be of great Importance. Now we
have learned that the tongue Is chang
ed In appearance by many trivial
causes. and can be relied upon only in
limited sense. Nevertheless, there are
some valuable indications which such
an inspection furnishes.
The tongue Is always rendered less
moist than usual by fevers or infiazn-
nations. This dryness may amount
merely to little sickness Of the sur
face. or there may be a total absence
OF moisture, the tongue being dry as
parchment cracked. and dark in color.
