A glance over the returns of births

A glance over the returns of births
made by our county assessors shows
that our people were as patriotic dur
ing the last war as were their ances-
tors of the Rebellion. No less than
a dozen of the boys born in the
six months ending in December were
named in honor of our great and illus
trious Admiral Dewey. There are
Deweys, George Dewey, one Admiral
Dewey, and two Dewey Simpsons.
There are no Schleys, Mileses or
Skaters. Dewey was the general
favorite. During the year sos there
were $50 births, seven less than during
the year 1897.

Yankee Gallantry
In the Philippines

copy of the Manila paper Free
dom of October 5, gives an interest
ing account of how small detachment
of Troop A, Fourth Cavalry, under
command of Captain Cameron. got out
of very bad hole. American valor
and the poor Workmanship of the in
surgents conspired to save the lit
tie band from what, under ordinary
circumstances, would have been short
but Wholesale slaughter.
Captain Cameron and his men we're
out on accommodating expedition in
the vicinity of Santa Ana. Riding up
the bed of an arroyo they walked right
into a carefully prepared trap. They
found themselves surrounded by in.
surgents, who were secreted in three
different intrenchments.
Private Radcliffe was shot in the
head and fell from his horse dead. For
a moment u panic seemed inevitable.
Captain Cameron ordered his men to
dismount The horses were sent for
shelter around bend, and with TWEEN
ty-live men Captain Cameron advanced
to within few yards of the hidden
trenches, which were by this time spit
ting fire and lead in very threatening
manner. Waving his sword Cameron
ordered a charge and with yell which
scared the insurgents the American
soldiers rushed on top of their hid.
den foes, and within ten minutes from
the time of the first surprise had COM
pletely routed the insurgents and taken
possession of their almost impregna-
BILE position.
During the fight an insurgent officer
fired four times point blank at Corpor-
al de Clairmont. The corporal not on
ly avoided the bullets, but assisted Pri-
vate Linderfeldt in capturing the Off
Ger.
Corporal de Clairmont is a San Fran
cisco boy, who entered the army as a
private last August with the inten-
ton of earning a commission. He
comes naturally by his fighting In
stincts. He is a son of Colonel Ralph
de Clarmont of this city, who has him
self taken part in many wild charge
and perilous seige.

ROOT FOR VIcE-pRESIDENT,

Washington. Nov. 16.-If Secretary
Root does not secure the nomination
at the next Republican convention for
the Vive Presidency, it will not be the
fault of the administration. He is the
Presidents candidate. and every eff
fort Of the administration from now
on will be made to keep him to the
front as the most available running
mate for Mr.. Mckinley. Mr.. Root will
be given full swing in all matters con-
nected with the War Department and
of the conduct of the war in the Phil
ippines. and the President is banking
on brilliant record for him.
The Secretary is taking extraordi-
nary care in the preparation of his an
nual report, and his friends in the adj
ministration predict that is publica-
ton will bring him more conspicuously
before the public than ever as Vice
Presidential possibility. It will show,
they say, that he has grasped import
ant problems in connection with ter
ritorial possessions in such a broad
and comprehensive manner as to make
him conspicuous figure in national
affairs.
The President Is anxious that he
lie as much as possible, and it may be
safely said that Mr.. Root will be his
companion, as he has been in the past
few months. whenever he makes tour
to any part of the country. He will
accompany the President in his con-
templated tour to Nashville to well
come the First Tennessee Regiment
home from the Philippines. Other
trips are contemplated in the spring, so
that Mr.. Root will have an opportunity
to come in contact with the people.
Administration authorities appear to
have little doubt that Root will have
the support of the New York delega-
ton, Notwithstanding the reports that
a movement is on foot to have the
New York delegates committed to Mr..
Woodruff. 1t is known that the Presi-
dent and Senator Plat have discussed
Mr.. Root as a Vice Presidential pos
sibility, and as result 1t is said the
President has no misgivings as to the
Senator's attitude. In administration
circles Mr.. Root is now the only one
talked of as a Vice Presidential candi-
date.
