Regiment Came Up But Passed on
to Augusta TO Camp.
The Third Nebraska Regiment came up
to the city from Daufuskie Island yester-
day afternoon. The regiment spent five
days in detention there, having arrived on
the transport Logan. Before reacnlng
quarantine and having their baggage dis
infected the officers and men had more
hardships than fail 10 the lot of troops
ordinarily who come from Cuba, for they
had been FIVE days on che transport before
they were landed the Logan lay OIL Dry
Tortugas two days awaiting an oppof-
tunity to land but the sea was 100 rough.
The officers complained that their stay
at Daufuskie was by no means enjoyable.
Several of them were allowed by Coz. We
tor Vifquain, who was in command, to
come up last night from Gordon wharf,
where they were landed by the Santee.
They visited the hotels and restaurants
and enjoyed the first good meal they mad
had in many days.
That the Third Nebraska was to go 70
Augusta to be mustered out of the service
was bad news that the officers ana men
did not like to hear aud OF Whlch they
knew nothing until yesterday afternoon
They thought they were to be discharged
al Savannah, and the prospect was pleas
ing to them, as they made many Irlehds
while here before leaving for Cuba.
The regiment arrived at the wharf at
about $3.50 O'Clock, but it was not until
midnight that the last of the sections by
which Il went TO Augusta got away. Inc

in the service. Many things We're seen OF
interest, and the soldiers, Capt Fitzsim-

was far more roseate than that of most
of the officers and men who return from
the island.

port with troops aboard. The movement
of volunteers from Cuba to this country
has almost been completed. Five or six
regiments and a few companies of men

EMERSON WAS DISCHARGED.
Evidence Before Commissioners Lew
is Did Not Show Him Guilty.


is Did Not Show Him Guilty.
United States Commissioner Lewis held
an examination yesterday afternoon in the
case Of George A. Emerson, the army
teamster charged by his companion and
former friend, Michael Finnerty, with lar
ceny of valuable papers or orders for
money belonging to the latter. Emerson
was discharged.
The case, as presented to the commits
sioner, was for fraudulently and unlaW-
fully opening a letter consigned TO Fin
nerty and taking the valuable paper there
from. The men had both been members
of the Second Artillery, and both of them
had enlisted from the state of Massachu-
sets Under an act of the legislature of
that state, they were entitled to collect 81
extra pay a month. Both the men had
been expecting that this pay would ar
rive.
Emerson went to the postoffice Monday
and inquired for his mail and Finnertys
and received three letters, two for himself
and one for his friend. Going ont 10 tba
corral he opened all of them and removed
the contents. In his letter was his dis
charge and a sum of money. In Finner-
tvs, according to his statement. there
was discharge, but neither money nor
check.
When he delivered the letter tn Einnart,,
the latter told him that he had taken no
money, and that if he did not give II IN
he would have him arrested. Emerson of-
fered TO telegraph the state treasurer of
Massachusetts, asking him if there was
check in the letter sent TO Finnerty. hui
this offer Finnerty declined, and had EroS
erson arrested.
In the Police Court yesterday mornino
the Recorder ordered that Emerson he hold
for warrant from the commissioner Tbis
arrived during the day, and Emerson was
removed to jail, and given the examination
before the commissioner Ia the afternoon
The evidence brought out the facts sub
stantially as they have been stated and
while the commissioner believed tbnt En-
erson had been guilty of technical viola
ton of the law he could not decide that
he had committed an intentional wrong
The evidence was sufficiently clear that he
had not proflted by opening the letter and
he was discharged accordingly.

The opening session was in the nature
of a preliminary service, giving the con-
vention a start, as it were, and clearing
the preliminary matters out of the way,
leaving to-day free for the regular con-
vention work owing to the fact that
many of the delegates had not yet ar

vention was welcomed by Mr.. James l..

societies of the city. Each assured the
delegates of the interest of the several or

which il gave them to extend TO the visi
tors a cordial welcome Mr.. Christian, in
has remarks said that the weather judged
by its wetness, was more suitable to a
Baptist convention. Mr.. King, who fol-

sion as the weather was merely a sprink-
ling.
OF all the pleasant duties which Epworth
leaguers We're called upon to perform, Mr..
Christian said, none were more pleasant
than welcoming guests associated together
in such noble work. He trusted that the
convention would be so satisfactory in its
results that its Influence would be felt
throughout the state. While all were not
Christian Endeavorers, he said all were
united in this effort 10 advance the Lords

work were briefly reviewed by MIR. Chris

Mr.. King said that the Baptists were

Filipino Fighting.

One of the American soldiers gave
the following interesting account of the
situation in the Philippines shortly af
ter the first engagement with the ma
tives:-
The Filipino method Of fighting
seemed somewhat peculiar to us. | saw
several night engagements. which be-
gan precisely as the engagement of Sat
urday, February 4, is reported to have
begun. 1t was the custom of the Fill
ipinos at some time during the night
to open fire on the Spanish lines and
keep it up for two or three hours The
Spaniards from their works would re-
ply in the same manner. and large
amount of ammunition would be eX-
pended by both sides with little result,
beyond few men wounded and pos
sibly one or two killed. Such fights
as these were of almost nightly occur
renee, and | have no doubt that it
was a fight of this kind that the Fill
ipinos began on the night of Febru-
airy 4.
According to their custom they
probably considered it over when they
stopped firing, and never for one mo-
ment supposed that the Americans
WOulu COullHue lue Ddllle the next
morning and advance to the attack.
When that happened they were not
only surprised but utterly unprepared.
They had never been in the habit of
fighting or seeing civilized troops fight
outside of intrenchments. and it was
beyond their comprehension that sol
diers could be got to advance across
the open and attack fortified positions.
The experience was similar to nothing
in their history, and the lesson, while
1t was severe one, was necessary and
had most salutary effect on all future
dealings between the Americans and
the natives. The belief that the Amer
leans were afraid because they treated
the Filipinos fairly was rudely dispell
ed 1t probably became apparent to
them that the American troops are not
to be trihed with, and that the COM
handing officers were thoroughly able
to enforce their orders"

1t has been computed that about &c.
100000 babies are born into the world
each year. The rate of production is.
therefore, about seventy per minute,
or more than one for every beat of the
clock
With the one-a-second calculation ev-
cry reader is familiar. but it is not ev-
cry one who stops to calculate what
this means when 1t comes to a years
supply. 1t will, therefore, probably
startle good many persons to find, on
the authority of a we'll known statis-
tician, that, could the infants OF year
be ranged in line in cradles. the era
dies would extend around the world.
The same writer looks at the matter
in a more picturesque light He imag
ines the babies carried past given
point in their mothers arms, one by
one. and the process being kept up
night and day until the last hour in the
twelfth month had passed by A suffi-
GENTLY liberal rate is allowed. but even
in going past at the rate of twenty a
minute, / 200 an hour during the entire
year, the reviewer at his post would
have seen only the sixth part of the in
fantile host.
In other words, the babe that had to
be carried when the tramp began would
be able to walk when but mere frac-
ton of its comrades had reached the
reviewers post and when the years
supply of babies was drawing to a close
there would be rear guard, not of in
fants, but of romping six-year-old boys
and girls.

The taking of first dose of Chinese
medicine is an ordeal which can be
better imagined than described. 1t is
invariably bitter decoction. If the
patient prefers, the herbs are given him
in square pasteboard boxes holding
about pint each and he cooks them
at home. A Chinese prescription
contains from ten to sixteen varieties
of herbs, flowers, nuts, gums, banks,
and roots. More than 5000 species are
classified and used as medicine but Of
these only some 600 are in general use.
Whether the patient takes the remedies
at the sanitarium or at home, he is
requested to present himself every day
before the doctor fo another pulse ex.
animation, so that every change in his
condition may be noted and the pre-
scription may be varied accordingly.
The Chinese are clever chemists in
the line of pharmaceutical prepara-
tions, and prepare many medicines for
their own use in the form of pills and
powders; but these are employed by the
Chinese physicians in treating the all
ments of white people only to a limited
extent. The reason given is that the
simple hot decoctions of the fresh root
or plant are the best form, because the
most readily assimilated into the sys-
tenn.
