Otis Contemplates General onslaught.


WASHINGTON, March There is some
reason to expect important news from
Manila within the next fortnight. 1t
has developed that General Otis has
practically completed his plans for a
grand onslaught on the insurgents,
which is expected to deprive them of
offensive power at least. 1t is probable
that he will form large part of his
force into columns as soon as his rein.
forcements are all at hand and will
push these in parallel lines straight
through the jungles, 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 sharp.
shooting of the Flipinos, and are so
anxious to put stop to this that Gen
eral Otis has yielded to their desire.

ATHENS, Tenn, March GA terrific
cyclone passed over portion of Madi-
sonville and Monroe county last night,
with disastrous results. Early in the
evening strong wind arose and several
hours later cyclone, about 70 yards
wide, struck portion of Madisonville,
killing three persons, wounding 10 or
~ others and completely destroying IL
or Is houses and several barns. The
killed:
MR.. AND Mrs. JACK MOSER.
ED l.. HORTON.
The Horton and Robinson residences
are both complete wrecks, not one tim
Der being left above another on the
foundations. The escape of the mem
bers of these houses, eight in number,
seems miraculous, some of them being
blown 100 yards, yet escaping in some
cases without a scratch.
The storm came up with alarming
suddenness and swept everything in its
path. 1t was accompanied by the ter
rife roar usually attending cyclones.
Frightened inhabitants rushed for their
cellars and places of safety. In the
country great damage was done to or
chards and crops by the wind and hail.

No Trouble With These Natives

WASHINGTON, March IA cablegram
from General Otis at Manila indicates
the satisfactory and agreeable reception
accorded to the American troops which
recently landed at the island of Negros.
They were sent there by General Miller,
in command of Colonel Smith, to take
formal possession for the United States,
which he did without trouble. Previous
to the time the troops arrived, COM
mission from the island visited General
Otis, saying they were willing to sur
render and asking that he take the in
habitants under his protection. The
congratulatory dispatch to General
Miller by the natives is gratifying, as
it is believed there will be no trouble in
dealing with the natives of that island.

Six More Regiments Ordered to Manil,

Six More Regiments Ordered to Manila.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-The secre-
tary of war has just ordered the rein
forcement of General Otis by six regi-
ments. These are the Sixth infantry,
now at San Antonio; the Sixth artillery,
scattered along the Atlantic coast sta
tions; the Ninth infantry. at Madison
barracks; Thirteenth infantry, in New
York state; Twenty first infantry, at
Plattsburg, N. Y, and the Sixteenth
infantry at Fort Crook and neighbor-
ing posts in the middle west. These
regiments have been ordered to make
ready to proceed to San Francisco and
thence to Manila.
In answer to the direct question as to
whether or not these regular troops are
intended to relieve corresponding num-
Der of volunteer soldiers, it was said at
the war department that while this
would probably be the case, it was not
possible yet to make positive state
ment. This means that if the reinforce
ments arrive at Manila and the condi-
tions are satisfactory the volunteers will
be brought home, but if Otis shall have
need of all the combined force then they
must wait.

Forty-five Killed by the Toulon Explosion


PARIS, March 1.-THE deaths result

day morning number As and 1870 persons
were injured. The reports that the ex-
plosion was the result of a crime are
renewed The Petit Journal asserts
that fuse four feet long has been
found in the ruins. M. Lockroy, min
lister of marine, in the course of an
interview held with representative of
the Gaulois. said that none of the
theories advanced was admissible. "Im-
prudence on the part of the personnel,
he added, twas impossible, as the ex-
plosion occurred several hours after the
gates had been closed. The heating
theory, too, is unsound, as the tempera-
ture of the building was always low
and the air dry."

Wcbster,s Idea Of Great Oratory.

Senator George f. Hoar, in Scrib-
ner's: The orator who would do JUS
tlce to great theme or great occH-
sion must thoroughly study and I'M
derstand the subject; he must accu-
rately. and. If possible. infinitely d.
gest in writing beforehand the sub
stance, and even the form, of his adj
dress: otherwise, though he may speak
ably. he will be apt not to make in all
respects an able speech. He must en-
tirely possess himself beforehand Of
the main things which he wishes to
say, and then throw himself upon the
excitement of the moment and the
sympathy of the audience.
In those portions of his discourse
which are didactic or narrative, he will
not be likely to wander in any direc-
tIon far from his notes; although even
in those portions new facts, Illustra-
tons, and suggestions will be apt to
sprlng up before him as he proceeds.
But when the topic rises. when the mind
klndles from within. and the strain be-
comes loftier, or holder. or more pa
thetic. when the sacred fountain Of
tears is ready to overflow and audience
and speaker are moved by one kindred
sympathetic passion. then the thick
coming fancies cannot be kept down,
the storehouse of the memory is UNI
locked, images start up from the slum-
bcr of years, and all that the orator has
seen, rend, heard, or felt returns in dis
tinct shape and vivid cOlOrs. The cold
and premedItated text will no longer
suffice for the glowing thought The
stately, balanced phrase gives place to
some abrupt. graphic expression that
PUSHES unbldden to his lips The unfor-
seen Incident or locality furnishes an
apt and speaking image and the dis
course InstInctively transposes itself in
to a higher key.

In 1864 a regiment of Confederates
from South Carolina were marching
north to Join Lee. While in North
Carolina they cumped one day on two
opposite hills, between which a road
ran. 1t happened that an old Method
LIST preacher, n strong Unionlst, lived in
that vicinity. Early the next morn
Ing the preacher mounted his mule and
trotted down the road. meaning to pass
through the camp to show his contempt
for the rebels" He was a very old
man, with a stern face and long, white
beard, which, taken with his white hair,
gave him an appearance decidedly patrt-
archal.
"Huilo, fellows, here comes Father
Abraham!" called one soldier TO COM
rade on the opposite hill, as the old man
rode between them.
mo he isn't" shouted back, the other,
"he's Father Jacob.
The old parson stopped and shook his
finger OF scorn at the laughing soldiers.
II am neither Father Abraham nor
Father Jacob" he cried. A knot OF
soldiers gathered about him.
well, who are you then?" persisted
his tormentor. 1T is no use for you to
deny you are out Of the Old Testament
somewhere"
The old man rose in his stlrrups and
waved his hand towards the camp In
comprehensive contempt.

Whnt We. vtrginIa Is Doing.

The publication by the Intellgencer
yesterday, of the list Of thlrty-seven
railroad projects under way In West
Virginia, from the construction supple
ment Of the Railroad Gazette, was a
revelation to many who have not been
keeping posted upon the up-to-date ad-
vancements in the march OF industrial
development in the interior of this state,
as well as in this and the southern pOr-
lions.
Within the recollection of every clti-
zen thirty years old West Vlrginia's
present position before the world has
been reached by the liberal investment
Of capital. From minor factor In coal
production, the state is coming to be
classed as the second producer In the
Union. Two railroads, which crossed
the state from east to west, were the
only routes on which were the impOr-
tant developments, and they were
somewhat scant.
Local and some foreign capital began
to see the possibilities in store for the
state that was without an internal rail-
way system, by which means only the
vast undeveloped wealth could be de-
veloped. 1t was not many years ago.
While some OF the capital here in
wheeling was going to boom western
towns, great lumber and vast coal ter
ritorles in this state were lying unde-
veloped and could be bought for song.
But, within fifteen or twenty years the
development has come. Railroads have
been built by men who were denounced
at first as Capitalists" The result
has been astounding. Now, West Viz
glnia capital which has grown with the
development OF the great resources is
doing the work itself.
Read that list Of thirty-seven rail-
roads which are now to open new re-
gions and fields Of wealth. 1t would
take many columns of a newspaper to
relate what West Virginia, as a whole,
has done in even dozen years past,
what 1t is doing now and what is in the
future. 1t may be well to note that
those who are not patronIzing the
cities and towns that are growing UP
within access OF the bounds of our
own state, will find, when It is too late,
that railway lines and waterways in
West Virginia are opening the interior
to other markets in other states-going
and coming.
