asked why he surrendered. He said
that the insurgent cause was tempo

troops at his personal expense and had
lpst ~, 900 pesos in this way.
General Conception believes the
fighting will continue until terms are
made with the rebels. He insists that
an insurgent organization exists, even
in American territory. The general, in
conclusion, said:
AT the beginning of February the
Filipinos had $4,000 rifles. This num-
Der was increased later by arms
brought in by tilibusters. The Ameri-
cans have captured a. few hundred
rifles, but we hold the remainder. You

Improving the Service.

Mr.. A. Parlett, manager of the Peo-
Pies Telephone Co., owners of the
Nolachucky line in this city, was in the
city several days this week. He con-
templates making several improve
ments in the local service. New
and heavier poles are being
substituted for the heavy laden
ones in the heart of the city and
an electric motor has been put in the
central office to facilitate "calIing"
when connection is made. Now the
operator presses a button, heretofore
she had to turn grindstone. The
present arrangement is so simple and
fast that subscribers can be accommo-
dated now like counting silver dollars.
Other improvements are to be made at
once and The C6MET confidently pre-
diets that in short time johnson CITY
will have the most complete telephone
service in the State, and any effort to
iput in second telephone exchange
Twill meet with a merited rebuff.

Very Unusual.

Notwithstanding the very severe
drouth something entirely out of the
common occurred at the residence OF
E. A. Shipley, in the west end Of town,
last week. Between the house and
barn, on somewhat elevated ground,
water is flowing in sufficient quantities
to form quite stream, where previous
to last Monday the place was as dry al
the proverbial powder horn. Some say
such things are a sure sign Of rain. =
