tain in March, 1899, commanded Co. E
in the Malolos campaign and at the
battle of Guiguinto was seriously
wounded in the breast; the bullet was
never removed as it is located so near

much danger.
Capt. Watson was mustered out with
the Twentieth Kansas and immediate
ly accepted commission in the 10th
U. S. volunteers. Mrs. Watson
bride of few weeks, accompanied her
husband to Manila.

Yokohama, June 11.-More serious
from japanese point of view than the

THROUGH DAWNS EARLY LIGHT
The House Closed the Session With
Patriotic Songs.


Washington, June 9.-The last days
of the session of congress, and the
nights as well, had witnessed scenes of
party passion and personal rancor, in
which the house was brought to the
brink of actual riot several times. In
the closing half hour, while bills were
being signed, and the last formal &C
ton was keeping engrossing clerks,
presiding officers and the president
employed, a few members gathered
near the rostrum and began singing
patriotic songs. All space in the gal
leries was packed full of people. AS
the singing proceeded members joined
the group and everybody joined in
choruses. Columbia, the Gem of the
Ocean" "Auld Lang Syae," 1.-THE Red
White and Blue" and 'Dixie," sue
ceeded each other, with an ever in
creased volume of voices. But none of
these could compare with the enthusi-
asm evoked when Mr.. Fitzgerald of
Mississippi, started the national
Through dawn's early light" In an
instant all the men, women and chill
dren in the galleries were on their feet
joining in the singing. The mighty
chorus from thousands of voices rever-
brated through the hall, making the
pulses leap and the blood tingle. 1t
was a magnificent and soul-inspiring
spectacle spectacle. The ladies kept
time to the rhythm of the music with
their handkerchief and the men beat
the measures with their hands. The
speaker, pausing as he entered the
hall, raised his voice also.
At 4:50, when the speaker attempted
to call the house to order the members
were still singing. With one accord
they turned upon him and drowned the
crash of his gavel in the strains of
For He's Jolly Good Fellow" With
this tribute to the speakers popularity
the singing ceased and Speaker Hen
derson, after a closing address, an
nounced final adjournment.

SEPARATION OF TWO YEARS
Gen. Otis Says Army is Defending
inhabitants Against Outrage.
HE NEVER SAW AGUINALDO.

Chicago, June 11.-General Otis wife
and daughter arrived in Chicago to
meet him on his arrival from San
Francisco. They had been separated
two years.
In an interview General Otis said:
81 left the Philippines situation in
the best of hands The officers are all
able 1uen and well qualified to cope
with the different questions and situa-
tions that may arise. The war is over.
This guerilla warfare can't last long.
To be sure, we will have to repress
those people for number of years,
but there is no organized force OF
Filipinos The depredations that are
now going on are conducted by rob-
bers and ladrones. The United States
troops are now engaged in defending
the inhabitants of the Philippines
against the robbery and murder COM
mitted by their own people. But the
conditions are generally improving and
in some parts are better than they have
ever been.
1--WE have $1,000 effective troops I'M
der arms in the Philippines Estimates
regarding the number of inhabitants
in the islands are all wild, but the
number 10 considered to be between
six and seven million. The great ma
jority of the people desire peace and
wish to again take up their business
Rr7Sin in
again resumed activity and the inhabi-
tants are peacefully pursuing their
vacations.
II do not know where Aguinaldo is.
I never saw him personally. 1t is
possible but not probable that Aguin-
aldo is in the Cagayan section of north
ern Luzon. 1t is a rough mountainous
country and very sparsely settled. At
first he was regarded by his people as
a leader, but of late he is losing
prestige and is not held in such high
regard.
.>Stories have been circulated about
depredatians committed by men of our
army. but they have been false. Our
men have been held under close
restraint and have conducted them
selves like soldiers.
II can't see that the administration or
our distinguished secretary of war has
made any mistakes in this campaign.
We may have made mistakes over
there, but, if SO, they have been the
result Of human liability to commit
error"

rhts country Nm Not Get Mixed up.

Washington, June s.-The state de-
partment still finds itself unable to do
more than it has already ordered re-
speeding the protection of American
interests in China. Troops are not
available and the government here is
disinclined to participate in any joint
demonstration that would menace the
integrity of the Chinese empire. This
statement is a sufficient answer to the
intimation coming from British news
papers that United States cooperation
with British forces in China would be
welcomed.

WOMEN COMMIT OUTRAGES.
Threaten Women Teachers With
Tar And Feathers.
ANOTHER CAR DYNAMITED.

st. Louis, Mo-, June ia mob of
furious women and boys beat and de-
nuded young woman who makes her
living by peddling lunches among en-
ployes of the street car line. When
the mob had stripped her to the waist,
one woman daubed her with paint,
while two others held her, the jeering
boys and women of the mob applaud
ing the outrage and throwing mud.
Three shop girls were attacked by the
same mob an hour later and they were
also partially denuded before escaping.
An organized committee" of women
began to visit the public schools this
afternoon, entering the school rooms,
accusing the teachers of riding on the
tabooed cars and threatening them
with bodily harm if they did so again.
At the Mount Pleasant school, the
leader of this committee seized the
principal, Mrs Tanning, shook her
vioientl; and announced that she
would be tarred and feathered if
either she or any of her teachers rode
on the cars again.
A car on the Lindell division of the
Transit company containing two Off
GERS and the crew was lifted several
inches by an explosion of dynamite.
Beyond the breaking of the car win
dows no damage was done.
Seven deputy sheriffs were arrested
and locked up in the hold-over at the
four courts. 1t is charged that they
refused to ride on Broadway cars for
the purpose of protecting the Transit
company's property. All of the men
stated as their objection to service that
they were tired of sleeping with nom
union men and protecting property in
terests which, in their opinion, should
not be protected. They said they un-
derstood that they were sworn in for
the purpose of protecting citizens from
violence and preservation of law and
order.
