We have been kept very busy for the last two or three weeks. A week ago Saturday, Lieut. Campbell, myself and a detachmant of 20 men were order ed to Carcar, town about IA miles eouth of Naga, to re-enforce the deEach- ment of the 44.h Volunteers who were stationed there. The authorities here nave been trying to get the natives to take the "Oath of Allegiance" to the United States. The inhabitants of Carcar refused to do 30, so we were ordered to tachment of s'K" Co. of the 18th, and 8 detachment of mounted infantry belong ing to the 44sh Volunteers, making 6 force of 90 men. The next afternoon Sunday )the native militia of the town numbering about 300 men and composed of the better class. were ordered to pa- rade fully armed on the parade ground in front of the church.

They were then asked to take the "Oath," and they all refused. They were then ordered to lay down their arms. They hesitated at first, but when we got the order to train our guns on them, they dropped them in hurry. They were then allowed to go back to their quarters. We expected trouble from them but they saw how they had been cornered and wisely decided to give in. If they had resisted there would have beea slaughter, as we all had six shots apiece in our guns.

NATIONAL The final reeults of the
 AFFAIRS. election seem to be that President Mckinley will have 292 electoral votes and MT Bryan l55. It is charged that Kentucky which was carried for Mr Bryan, was so carried by fraud. The next Congress will have a majority of AZ In the House ot Representatives and the Senate will be composed of 55 Re- publicana, 3l democrats and indepen- dents or peoples party. The Cabinet of the President will remain much as 1t has been for the last term with perhaps one or two retiring for business or personal reasons. It seems therefore that the same policy will be continued for the next four years as for the last four years in the administration of the government. It is to be hoped that by that time the questions of the new possessions will be satisfactorily worked out.

 It is General Wood, wEo ought to know, who says that Cuba has many ad. vantsges for the energetic young Ameri- caus who will go there with some little capital and take. up farming. The soil is very productive and cocoa, coffee and topacco are very easily raised. Also he thinks that there will be an opening for winter gardening for the cities of the United States. A swift line of steamers could soon make the trip from Havana and land fresh vegetables in the New York markets. The climate is not more trying than that of the southesn states and tho people are kindly d,sposed toward the Americans.

the circumstance that the anli-McLau-

to say:
What we started to show, however, was
the systematic efforts on the part OF Nc
Laurin's enemies to conceal what he does
do that will meet with the peoples appro-
val, and to magnify, and comfort into mis-
representation such acts as they think
will be Gisapproved of. The record shows
McLaurin TO have voted on every party

that he has had the manlineSS to he inde-

opposed to Tillman know they stand no
more chance to defeat him, than does Il
