Manila. Aug. 1.-THE steamer Sat

NEW COMMAND FOR LAYTON.
He Will Have Charge of the Cavalry
When Fighting Iseglns.
New York, Aug. IA special from
Washington says: 1t is understood
that the plan of operations for the fall
campaign in the Philippines contem-
plates a division of the islands into
several military departments, and
General Lawton will have command in
one in which the cavalry troops oper-
ate. 1t is probable that General Wheel
er will be given command of brigade
of cavalry in General Lawton's de-
partment.
The boundary line of Lawton's de-
partment will embrace the territory In
which there will probably be the heav-
lest fighting, so that Lawton will be
in direct charge of the most important
forces in the field. and in this way
General Otis, while not being officially
discredited, will be relieved of much
of the responsibility in connection with
the conduct of the war, and will be left
free to perform the duties of a military
governor.
Secretary Roots short experience II
the war department has already CON
WINGED him that the views Of the mil
itary commanders subordinate to Gen
eral Otis, who favor larger military
force than recommended by that Off
Ger, are worthy of serious cOnsidera
ton. There are reasons to believe hi

and markers of the state of Illinois on
the battlefelds surrounding the city
were held at Orchard Knob, the site Of
one of the principal memorial shafts

was clear and warm, typical of this sea-

ed that more than 1000 residents of lll-

pie attended the exercises and re-
manned until the close of the pro-

A BRUTAL CRIME.
Bodies of n Woman and Three Chill.
drcn Found on n Farm in
pcnDsylYaniu.

Williamsport, Pa, Nov. 24.-The hor-
ribly mutilated bodies of a woman and
her three children were found Thursday
evening at their home on small farm
about a mile from the town of Mont
gomcry, this county. The coroner left
here at midnight for the scene of the
tragedy. Details are meagcr. A short
time ago a peddlcr named Hummell
married the widow of a farmer and took
up his residence with her on the farm.
The widow has three children. For the
past week neighbors passing the farm
noticed that there were so signs of habi-
tation. An investigation was made
Thursday, and to the horror of the in
vestigators the bodies of two Of the
children were found hidden beneath
strawstack. On going into the house
the bodies oe the mother and the other
child were found lying in the Sleep
ing apartment. Hummell was seen at
Montgomery Wednesday, but nothing is
known Of his whereabouts since that
time. The bodies were horribly mutt
lated, the murderer evidently having
used club in his fiendish crime.

REVOLUTION ALMOST DEAD.
Otis Reports Filipino Government on
Its Last LcES-Promincnt
Officials Captured.

| WASHINGTON, Nov. IS. Gen. Otis
summarizes the situation in l.uzon in
a dispatch to the war department Fri
day, in which he says that the insur-
gent government can no longer claim
to exist. its troops and officials are
scattered and Aguinaldo in hiding.
The dispatch follows:
Manila, Nov. 2i.-Claim to government
by insurgents can be made 70 longer under
any fiction; its treasurer. secretary of the
interior and president CT congress in our
hands: its president and remaining cab
met officers in hiding evidently in different
central I.uzon provinces: its generals and
troops in small bands scattered through
these provinces acting as banditti or dis
perscd. playing the role of amigos with
arms concealed. Indications are that
Aguinaldo did not escape through the lines
of Lawton or Wheaton, but fled westward
from Bayambons railway station. Tele-
graphic communication to Dasupan cstab-
lished, probably to San Fabian to-day;
by relayiEg nine miles of track with ma
terial a. hand, railway communication to
that point rcestablishcd: labor of troops
must attend maintenance"
Alater dispatch from Gen. Otis gives
the results of the fighting at Ilolo as
follows:
Hughes. Ilolo, reports enemy driven
back into mountains: insurgcnt capital
Cobatuan captured. Only serious action
that of Carpenter at Pava: total casual
ties. five killed or since dead of wounds; q
wounded: captured ten prisoners, Is cam
non. six rifles, quantities of ammunition.
Enemy's casualties not stated"
Manila, Nov 25.-Bautista, president
of the Filipino congress-, presented
himself to Gen. Macarthur Friday and
formally renowned all further con-
nection with the Instruction. He
was one of the influential Filipinos
who hesitated at the beginning of the
war as to the side on which to cast
his lot. He was offered a judgeship
of the supreme court, but declined.
He now announces that he desires to
accept the position and says the Fill
pino congress and cabinet are scat
tered, never to reasscmble. Some of
the members, he adds, have returned
to their homes, while others are fly
ing for safety. Many of the congress-
men have resigned, and he believes
the Filipino soldiers will lay down
their arms everywhere as soon as
they learn the truth.
Washington, Nov. 27.-Secrctary Of
the Navy Long on Sunday received a
cablegram from Admiral Watson in
forming him that the entire province
of Zamboanga, island of Mindanao,
had surrendered Internationally to
Commander Very, of the Castiue. The
surrender was made on the 18th inst.
The information contained in Admiral
Watson's dispatch was received by the
president and his advisers with I'M
concealed satisfaction.
Zamboanga is the principal city Of
the island of Mindanao, which is the
second largest island of the Philip
pine group. Adviccs from Admiral
Watson indicate that the entire south
ern half Of the island, which COM
prises the province of Zamboanga, has

VIEWS OF TWO AGES.
The Years You've Lived Makes
Difference in the Way You
Look at Things.

"Did you ever notice." asked the old
er member of the group, looking into
the gas log at the club, cor, rather, have
you not always noticed the markedly
different effect upon the mind eNerted
by the coming of the September
equinox and that of March?
''The arrival of the fall equinox seems
to fill the whole human tribe with
gloom; that of the spring with impa
tient joy. I contend that these effects
are universal aud that their causes are
peculiarly simple. Of course, l am talk
ing about ATTITUDES approXimating our
own.
elm the decline of the year, as the sun
is rushing south, as the leaves are grow
ing gray and wrinkled, as the days wane
and the nights wax, when no longer one
can comfortably sit out of doors, the
arrival of the raw September days
which are chilled and dampened, fills
the sensitive soul with anticipatory
dread. These heralds of the stitfening
year, about to be laid on its slab, like a
corpse in a morgue, give warning not
only that the melancholy days are come,
but that the long northern winter, chill,
desolate and forbidding, will soon be-
gin.
ut is different in middle March.
Then the patter of the dropping rain
holds out promise. The song birds
are seeking summer homes again. The
reviving grass and the tender mounds
which burgeon upon the sap-thrilled
branches of the awakening trees speak
the incensed language of life and love.
The restored brooks babble that they
have thrown off their shackles. Daily
the sun burns more ardently upon all
the pulses of the stirring earth. The
airs are full of promise. Man feels hope
again, and divine thrills, born he knows
not why, move the deeper fountains of
his heart"
The taker paused and those who
listened looked duly impressed by the
depth and poetic beauty of his senti-
ment. That is, they did until an idol
breaking youth of 20, who hopes to cap
tain his eleven this year, a rude thing of
Drawn and blood, broke in with a char
acteristically phrased objections:
say, litjol, Sdi' llc, tHdt an = I'LL,
don't you know. Winters the time of
all the year. Thcn's when a real man
really has real joy. Didn't you ever
skate ten miles on crinlily ice, with your
best girl, hand in hand, or drive her be-
hind tinkling sleighbells to the time
beating feet of a fast trottcr, and drive
with one hand at that? What's the
matter with old Thanksgiving day, and
the game on the gridiron it brings, or
with merry Christmas or glad New
Years? Look at the balls and the
operas and the dinners and the dear lit
tie dances. Say, major, you're dead
wrong. All these September heralds Of
melancholy you've talked about are
heralds of fun. How about it, fellows?"
Tle major looked long and longingly
upon the young mans glowing face.
His voice shook a little as he put his
wrinkled hand upon the juniors shout
der.

he said. "'Once | was young, and now
