With these AdViceS General Otis Had
Nothing to Do.
FUTURE PROSPECTS FRIGHTENED
Advices From Secretary Hay indicate That
the Situation in the Philippines is
Much Improved.

Washington, July 10th.-Secretary Hay
has received advices from civil as well as
military sources in the Philippines which
led him to declare today that the situation
there was certainly improved materially,
and that the prospects for the future had
frightened very much. With these ad-
vices, the secretary said, Gen. Otis had
nothing to do, and they were from disin
terested persons whose opinions must
carry weight.
1t was explained that these advices,
which have given much comfort and en-
couragement to the members of the cabi-
net, to whom they were communicated,
had bearing rather on the political than
on the military situation, although there
is naturally a very direct connection
between the two at this time. The COM
mission, or at least so much of it as re-
mains at Manila since the departure of
President Schurman and Admiral Dewey,
has been unrelaxing in the effort to restore
the confidence of the natives and aid mill
tary operations by inducing defections
among Aguinaldos followers.

On the morning of the l4th inst, a lit

Dirt has been broken for the foundation
of Old Dominion College at Honaker, Va.
Two buildings are to be erected, one to be

Painful Accident.

On last Saturday Mr.James N. Johnson,
Commissioner of Revenue for Jefferson
vile District, who lives on Dix Creek,
about ten miles west of this place, was on
his way to town. When he reached the
ford on Clinch River near the residence Of
Mr.. Jim Ed Peery, his horse was very
thirsty, and he gave it loose bride.
Just before the horse got out of the ford
he suddenly laid down and rolled over,
and Mr.. Johnson's left leg was caught be-
tween the horse and rock in the water,
and badly fractured just above the ankle
joint. It is compound fracture, and,
therefore, very painful. Mr.. Johnson
was taken to the residence Of Mr.. Peery
where he still remains. DR.. q. T. Stellar
rendered the necessary surgical attention,
and Drs. Crockett and r. B. Gillespie saw
the patient afterwards. He is doing as
well as can be expected.

Washington, July 18.-At the cabinet
meeting today the "Round Robin" sent
by the American newspaper correspon-
dents from Manila via Hong Kong yes
terday was discussed, and it was decided
to allow the matter to drop. Officially
the matter will be ignored and General
Otis will be allowed to treat it as he may
deem best. Acable from Colonel DENLY,
a member of the Philippine Commission,
was read. 1t showed fairly satisfactory
state of affairs, one of tie cabinet officers
said, but it did not say that peace negotia-
tions with Aguinaldo were in progress.
Secretary Hay also had a cable from
Ambassador Choate relative to the boun-
Diary line negotiations, but it was not en-
couraging.
1t was stated at the War Department
today that no attention whatever would
be paid to the Ground Robin of the
Manila correspondents. The protest was
not sent to General Otis, and it is said it
will not be, and General Otis will not be
calleT upon for an explanation. In addi-
tion, it was intimated that very encourag'
ing news had been received from the
Philippines, and that the situation was
much better than had been generally be-
lieved.

FIVE MEN CAPTURED.
Accused of Having Killed George w.
RatIiff.

From the time the first news was re
ceived about the killing of Mr.. George w
Ratlif onSwords Creek, the Goth of June
there has been much anxiety about the
capture of the men who committed the
crime.
The Government offered a reward OF
"two hundred dollras for the arrest and
conviction of each of the persons who
ambuscaded the party in charge of Deputy
Collector Ferguson, when searching for
illicit distilleries on June Goth, 1899, near
Swords Creek, Russell county, Virginia,
and killed George Ratliff, posseman."
On Tuesday, the llth inst, posse led
by Deputy Collector Ferguson went to
Swords Creek early in the morning and
destroyed the still which Ferguson and
Ratliff were searching for when the latter
was killed. Deputy Marshal r. NJ. Bal
dwin and Detective Thomas Felts were
with the party and succeeded in capturing
Charles Brown, young man, who is
accused of being with the party who shot
Ratliff. Brown was brought to Tazewell
and placed in Jail.
On Wednesday, the 18th inst., Baldwin
and Fells went back TO the Swords Greek
neighborhood and captured three men,
John Brown, Charles Newberry and
Henry Strouth, who were also accused of
being with the ambassadors. These men
were brought to TazeweIl and also lodged
in Jail. Baldwin and Felts then started
out in search of William Strouth, the man
who is charged with having fired the
double. barrel shotgun which gave Mr..
Ratliff his death wounds. They succeeded
in tracking Strouth to house in the
mountains back of Pocahontas, and on
Sunday morning about daylight effected
his capture. 1t is rumored that Strouth
made an effort to resist arrest, being armed
with Winchester rife. While his atten-
ton was directed to palties at the front of
the house, Baldwin went in at the rear
and covered him with his gun. On the
way to Tazewell, we are told, that Strouth
was very violent, though he was hand
cuffed, He was also put in the jail at this
place at II O'Clock Sunday morning.
This makes five men who are now in
custody accused of being participants in
the cruel murder of George w. Ratlif.
The law will have to say whether they are
guilty.

interesting Talk From a Japanese.

On last Sunday morning Mr.. Ashida, q
native of Japan, and theological student
at Vanderbilt University, gave a very in
teresting talk to large congregation in
the Methodist church.
Mr.. Ashida has been in the United
States only about twelve months, but dur
ing that time has acquired wonderful
use of the English language, especially in
the proper application and use of the
words of our language. Though quite a
young man he is very scholarly, being a
graduate of two colleges in his native land.
His father, now dead, was the publisher
and editor of newspaper in one Of the
largest cities of Japan, and devoted fol-
lower of the philosophy of Confucius. 1t
was very thrilling and touching to hear
MIR. Ashida tell of how he was con-
verted to Christianity, after being taught
to think that it was his supreme duty to
assist in preventing the progress of that
religion; how bis father was grieved BY his
adoption of the Christian faith, disinherit-
ing and driving him from the parental
roof; and how afterwards his parents
became converts to the once despised
Nazarene.
Mr.. Ashida is we'll versed in profane
and sacred history, and in the social cir

sity he will return to Japan, and devote
his life to the work of converting his fellow.
countrymen to the faith of the only true
God. He is an earnest man, and if spared
will, no doubt, accomplish much for the
spread of Christianity in Japan. He is
deeply impressed with the belief that
unity and harmony among the different
peoples and races of this world will be
produced by the Gospel Of Jesus Christ.

THE PEACE CONFERENCE.
Revision Of ArbitraI Awards Insisted
upon.

The Hague. July 1.-THE First Com
mittee of the international Peace Confer.
ence met this morning to discuss NJ. Van
Kernebeck's report on the first four points
of NJ. Muravief's circular. Such differ
ences of opinion developed that it was
ultimately decided that the report must be
recast.
1t appears that the committee rejected
the recommendation cf the subcommittee
that clause be appended to the declara
ton of st. Petersburg of 1868 prohibiting
the firing of explosives from balloons and
the use of asphyxiating bombs and explo
sive bullets. Many delegates seemingly
had left the room, not knowing the ques
tion at issue.
The Third Committee, or Arbitration
Commission, held plenary meeting dis
cussing international commissions of in
quiry and adopting with certain amend
ments article 56, respecting the EXPENSE
OF the tribunal.
The section of article "a providing fol
the revision of arbitral awards, which the
Americans had succeeded in adding to the
original project, was the subject of a long
debate on the motion of NJ. B. Martens, ,ol
the Russian delegation, TO eliminate the
amendment. Messrs. Hollis and Low, o1
the American delegation, made long
speeches in the defense of revision.
MIR. Hollis, whose remarks were rapidly
translated into French by M. Des Tour.
neles, declared that the Americans would
be unable to agree to the arbitration
scheme if revision were stricken out, un
less they received further instruction:
from Washington. Tits announcement
created sensation. Mr.. Hollis finally &C
cepted an amendment providing that the
disputing parties can reserve the right O.
revision by special agreement. Thus the
Americans practically won their point.
An adjournment was taken until Wed
nesday.

The expectations of wheat -four from the
United States have been growing epor-
mously in recent years. In 1875 we ex-
ported 1878, l2S barrels. For the fiscal
year which ended July lst 1899, we ex-
ported $4,000 barrels. To all Asia we
sent in 1889 4lS,353 barrels. In 1899 we
sent to that continent l,75O,000 barrels,

and is buying our manufactured articles.
A meeting of between 400 and 500
Democrats was held at Lexington, KY,
on the 18th inst, and resolutions were
adopted, unanimously, denouncing the
methods by which Goebel was nominated

after the Virginia election law. The Ken

END OF SAMOAN TROUBLE.
Three Powers Have About Agreed on
Terms of Settlement.

Washington, July Ill is stated in
quarters intimately acquainted with the
recent conduct of Samoan affairs that the
abolition of the kingship in Samoa has
advanced considerably further than a
provisional arrangement by the Samoan
commission, and that three governments
have so far acquiesced that this feature is
assured as a part of the permanent system
for the government of Samoa. 1t is said
also that the report OF the Samoan CON-
mission is likely to be unanimous, SO that
the further action by the three govern
ments in framing a treaty will be largely a
formality, as the unanimous report Will
give the basis for the new treaty without
further negotiation.
