HE OPPOSES EMIGRATION.
Booker Washington Says the Negro
Will Remain Here.

Macon, Ca. Jan. 1.-Booker T. Wash
ington spoke on Emancipation here to-
day, opposing the emigration schemes Of
Bishop Turner. He says the negro
problem must be solved by the best ele
ment of the negro race with the aid of
the best element of the whites, ''the
North does rot contain all the good white
people, nor are they any better friends
to the negro than can be found in the
South lie said. For every negro that
is sent to Liberia, a negro baby is born
in the cotton belt. SO that scheme is
failure. As we came to this country at
the urgent solicitation and expense OF
the white man, we would be ungrateful
to run away and leave him now, and
we are not going to do it. | was asked
the other day in New York what the
negro can de- to get his rights. / an
swered, mako himself useful. His citi-
zenship will be recognized and valued
in proportion as he is worthy. Indus
trial education is the key to the situa-
ton. The negro must keep pace with
progressive civilization. Old Sam and
his raor inuIp can no longer compete
with the white man who cultivates corn
by riding undpr an umbrella on Il culti-
Vator that does the work OF four men,
nor can the black woman at the wash
tub long compete with the electric wash
ing machines. The negro must have edu-
cation and thrift They must know how
to apply their education. We have:
enough ministers and professional meh
for the present. We need to teach the
masses how to get out of their shiftless-
ness and antauated ways

FACING A BOER GIBRALTAR.
London, Jan. 2.-(Tuesday)-T
Standards correspondent at Frere Camp,
telegraphing on january 1st, says:
"Sir Charles Warrens division is now
nearly complete. Its headquarters will
be at Estcourt. 1t is rumored here that
the guns which were captured from Gen
eral Butler at Colenso have been mounted
in the hills commanding the drift over
the Tugela river at Springfield. The
Beers, it appears, captured six hundred
and twenty rounds of shrapnel when they
took the guns.
General Buffers difficulties have been
immeasureably increased by the en-
forced delay since the last engagement.
He now has before him a series of wall
ed and fortified hills, running sixteen
miles along the line of the Tugela. These
are sWarnling with the enemy, posted in
positions of great strength and bristling
with guns; while the river in front is in
full flood. The coming battle will GER
tainly be the stiffest. and probably the
most mOmentous, of the entire cam
paign."

GREENsBORo's SECOND FIRE.
Sergeant's Foundry Destroyed by a
Spark. Loss About 1926, 600.

Greensboro, \. c., Jan. 1.--(Special)
Another severe fire struck Greensboro
this afternoon at about 4:30 p. IN. This
time it was Sergeant's foundry, probably
the Oldest manufacturing establishment
in Greensboro
The entire plant was destroyed. The
loss is estimated at $25,000, with insur-
ance about $4,000. The fire originated
from spark which ignited the roof.
The spark was seen almost as soon as IL
struck the roof, but strong wind was
blowing, and almost in an instant the
roof was blazing furiously. The fire
department arrived promptly, but it was
impossible to do more than save adjoIn-
ing property. About $4,000 worth Of
patterns were destroyed.
This concern was enjoying unusual
prosperity, having orders in advance to
March. The firm was composed or
staunch business men. and it is probably
that the plant will be rebuilt at once
on larger scale.

THEIR PLOT FAILED
Uprising Against Americans
in Manila Planned.
General Southern Advance Begun. Cabuyao
Occupied by Our Troops. Reported
Surrender of AguinaIdo's Wife.

Manila, Dec. 31.-Four explosive
bombs, a few firearms and 800 rounds Of
ammunition were discovered in house
in the center of Manila today while the
police were seeking Recarte, the Filipino
leader. who was said to have come to
Manila in the hope of effecting an out
break yesterday by taking advantage Of
the mobilization Of the American troops
at General Lawton's funeral.
1t is alleged that the plot included the
throwing of bombs among the foreign
consuls attending the ceremony in order
to bring about international compiled
tions. These, it is said, were to have
been thrown from the Escolta's high
buildings, but the avoidance of the Es-
colta by the funeral procession spoiled
the plan
FIGHTING NEAR SANTA ROSA.
Manila, Jan 1.-10:30 p m.-The first
movement of general southern advance
occurred this morning, when two battal
ions of the Thirty ninth infantry landed
and occupied CabuyaO, on the south side
of Laguna De Bay. Two Americans
were killed ana four wounded. Twenty
four of the enemy's dead were found in
one house. One hundred and fifty
prisoners and four siX-pound rapid fire
guns were captured.
The gunboat Laguna de Bay bonn
barded the town before the disembarka-
ton OF the troops from the cascOes,
which was made under the enemy $
scrapncl fire. The enemy evacuated
the place before the charging Americans,
retreating to Santa Rosa. to which town
they were pursued. Heavy fighting oc-
cured along the road TO Santa Rosa,
which was occupied by the insurgents re-
treating south toward Silang. The
Americans burned the country between
and around Cubuyao.
The gunboat returned to Calamba for
reinforcements and thence came TO
Manila to fetch ammunition. She recent
ly captured two of the enemy's steam
launches, one under the fire of artillery
at Calanba, and also four cascoes loaded
with rice.
Other regiments are mobiliZing tonight
at San Pedro Macati and Pasig, prepara-
tory to continuing the southern advance.
Yesterdays capture OF bombs involved
the seizure Of documents inculpating Il
thousand Eilipnos who intended to rise
against the Americans. Papers were
also found showing distribution of the
city into districts, and a careful assign
mcnt of leaders and followers. The
precautions taken by the Americans on
Saturday, it is now evident, alone pre-
vented an uprising.
The provost marshal has requested
that two more regiments be detailed for
the protection Of Manila. Three thou
sand troops are now actually in the city.
