ALL AMERICANS RELEASED.
Gen. Otis Confirms the Reported Rescue
of Capt. Gilmore and Others.

of Capt. Gilmore and Others.
Official confirmation has come from both
Gen. Otis and Admiral Watson OF the first
reports from Manila of the release of the
American prisoners. who have been held
i'm the hands of the Filipinos for many
months, and there is no longer any doubt
that Lieut.. Gilmore. of the Yorktown, is
among the number. Gen. Otis dispatch
reads as follows:
Manila. Jan g.
The prisoners route from Vigan arrive o.
night, and list Of them will be teegrapheI to-
Capt Gilmore is among the number
OTIS
Admiral Watsons advice is as follows:
Manila Jan. ;.
Coils. Hare and Howe have recaptured all Of the
American prisoners, including Gilmore. now at
Vigan. WATSON
The sweeping statements made in the
dispatches. to the effect that all of the
American prisoners have been releases
has aroused hope that in the list will
appear the names of some Of the officers
and pTiVates of the army who are set
down upon the army rolls as missing.
Prominent among the missing army of
ficers was Maj. Charles NJ Rockefeller. of
the Ninth Infantry. This officer advanced
beyond the lines during the fierce fighting
early last summer. He disappeared com
pietely. and no trace Of his body was
ever found.
1t is gathered from Gen. Otis report that
the released men have been sent by boat
across Lingayen Gulf TO Dagupan. at the
northern extremity Of the railroad. and
about days journey from Manila.

I'm recent years who quotes so freely or
so readily from Holy Writ as Champ

the day is long. upright in his moral con-

recreation. his father furnished him with a
volume that contained the Declaration of

States, and Washington's Farewell Ad-

] rare industry. and even committed the
| four documents TO memory, in which con-

Influence of Patrick Henry's Speech.
One day, while a boy. he came across a
copy of Patrick Henry's famous speech
before the house of burgesses, beginning:

From the standpoint OF the more con-

may be often regarded as very radical.
but they are dressed up in forceful Ian

reading. which give his speeches a liter
