Julian Hawthorne Writes of
 Southern Political Gathering, MR. DAVENPORT'S SKETCH
The Novelist Discovered Many Peculiar Characteristics in the Delegates, Which He Has AptlY Noted
 for the New York Journal.

Julian Hawthorne, who was an interested
 spectator at the county democratic con-
 vention on Saturday, has written letter to the New York Journal, giving his inn
 pressions of a southern political gathering
 A sketch by MT. Davenport was also for

 this morning. MT. Hawthorne's letter is

 A COUNTY CONVENTION.
 he.victory of Senator Morgan over Gov
 ernor Johnston a week ago was not mere-
 ly due to the signal personal merits of
 that venerable and distinguished gentle
 man; 1t was also owing to the will of the
 people of the state of Alabama, prevail
 ing over the organization of the machine.
 This fact lifts Alabama, for the time be-
 ing into a most admirable and edifying
 prominence before the entire country. We
 have really come to think, in New York
 and Pennsylvania, and in other states at the north, that the republic has practical ly failed, temporarily at least; and that we are now under the rule of wealthy
 greedy, corrupt olgarchy. It is natural
 and proper that commercial interests should occupy leading share of our att | tention, as citizens of a country of un- 1 limited Resources, which demand to be fostered and developed; but that Is no req
 son why the principles on which our na- tional existence is based should be dis torted or violated in order that a limited
 number of corporations and trusts should be able to draw extravagant profits from | their investments instead of reasonable ones. To enforce such violations Is to defy the will of the people, who, on both moral and material grounds, wish the country to be administered according to the spirit of the constitution. It has lately been a question, ,sfiowever whether the people were any longer able to make their voice heard and to earry out their desires In giving an affirmative answer to this question, Alabama has certainly deserved well of | the republic. What has been done once, | and here, may be done again, and else- l where; ana it is to be hoped that the pop ulations d all sections of the country will | take heart by the example of this south- | ern states and at the next presidential | election, prove that its significance has not been missed.
 James Russell Lowell remarked to the present writer many years ago that the | south had ruled this country formerly, and would rule 1t again The instinct of states
 manship is bred in the marrow of southern | CTS, and always declares itself upon occa- sion. Statesmen may no doubt be made as well as born; but in the long run it is the born statesmen who win out There are many men in the south today who ac- tually prefer political pursuits to com

IN EVERY COUNTY
Powell Will Bring Suit Against the
 Southern

Atlanta, Ga, April 22.-President W. V. Powell, of the Order of Railway Telegra- phers, said tonight that he had instruct ed his attorney, Burton Smith, to begin suit for s50,000 damages against the South- .ern railway in every county in Georgia. The action Is based on a recent publication in an Atlanta evening newspaper in which MT. Powell claims he was defamed and held up to public ridcule."
 There are one hundred and thirty-seven counties in Georgia, and the law permits the filing of suits in each county where the paper containing the alleged defama- tory statement circulates.

Twelve Officers and Over Two
 Hundred Men Captured.
HOSPITALS TAXED WITH WOUNDED
American Losses Nine Killed and Six teen Wounded-Fighting Around San Miguel lRenewed-Span-
 ish Prisoners at Manila

Manila April 22.-d0:30 a. m.)-Last week was one of the bloodiest of the war since the first days fighting around Manila. Authentic reports, mostly official, show a total of SIS Filipinos killed, twelve officers and PA men captured and many more wounded. The number wounded is hardly guessable. The wounded entirely test the hospital capacity, and a great majority of them will die. Probably the weeks work finished 1000 insurgents. The American loss was nine killed and sixteen wounded. Two sergeants and one private were killed in ambushes while eseorting provision trains.
 The insurgents have been aggressive in almost every province of Luzon. General Pic del Pilar's band, numbering 300, which was out of sight for three months, the leader being reported killed, has reappeared in it's old field about San Miguel. Pillar is supposed to be again in command. He gave the American garrison at San Miguel, consisting of three companies of the Thir- ty-fifth infantry, with a Gatling, a three hours fight during a night attack. The loss of the insurgents in this engagement is not included in the foregoing total, as they removed their dead and wounded, but presumably it was considerable.
 Province of Bataneas
 Twenty Filipinos in the province of Batangas attacked Lieutenant Wonde. l who, with eight men, was scouting near | San Jose. The lieutenant and five men were wounded and one private was killed Sergeant Ledous, of the Thirty-ffth in- fantry badly wounded in an ambush near Baliaug. Lieutenant Balch, of the Thirty-seventh infantry, with seventy men, had a five hours fight with 400 in surgents in the Nueva Caceras district. Twenty of the insurgents were killed.
 Colonel Smith, of the Thirteenth infan- try, who captured General Montenegro and brought him to Manila, Is in the iso- lation hospital suffering from smallpox, presumably caught from the Fiipinos.
 Colonel Smiths command captured 1S0 officers and men with Montenegro. The of- ficers were brought to Manila. Montene- gro, who was formerly one of the most dapper officers in the Filipino army, looks
 worn and haggard. He says he lad led terrible life for months and he has offer ed to return to the north with Colonel Smith to endeavor to persuade his fovmer comrades of the uselessness of opposing the | Americans. One hundred escaped Spanish | prisoners from the province of Tayabas, l South Luzon, have arrived at Manila The l insurgents have four hundred more Span- | iards in that district. Recently the Fill l pinos destroyed several rods of the rail- | road line near Paniqua, in an unsuccess- | full attempt to wreck a train.

IMPERIAL RESCRIPT
Issued by Emperor Nicholas Express

St. Petersburg. April 22.-Emperor Nicholas has issued an imperial rescrpt addressed to Grand Duke Sergius, gover- nor general of Moscow expressing his qualification at having passed holy week in Moscow. The rescript says in part:
 "In the cradle of autocracy, where the saints repose undisturbed, and amid the resting places of the crowned builders and expanders of the Russian empire, our prayers rise with increased strength to the Lord of Lords, in common with the faith full members of our beloved church throng- ing into the temples; and here calm joy fills the soul of prayer"
 Another rescript compliments Grand Grand Duke Sergius and bestows upon him a portrait of the czar set in brlliants.

Probable That Gen. Rundle Has
 Already Met the Enemy.
HOT FIGHTING AT WALKERSTR00M
Colonel Dalgety's Position Fired Upon at Masu, Basutoland-London Re- - ceives Conflicting Reports
 Regarding Movements

London, April 23.-(5 a. m.)-It is quite probable that by this time General Sir Henry Rundle has fought decisive battle with the Boers. He entrenched himself Saturday to await the arrival of General Campbell with the Sixteenth brigade. That commander arrived Saturday evening, and news may therefore be expected at any moment.
 It is still impossible to ascertain the DO. stion of affairs at Bloemfontein, or to learn when the long expected advance northward will begin. The dispatches con ffct regarding the state of the prepara- tions. For instance, the Bloemfontein cor respondent of the Daily Chronicle says that the troops have been supplied with winter clothing and that the Modder river has fallen sufficiently to permit cavalry to cross. The Standard representative says almost exactly the opposite. Present indications, however, point to still further delay.
 without attaching undue importance to the stories from Louronzo Marquez con eerning the strength of the Boer forces It would almost seem that the former es- inmates of 3O,0OO were rather low.
 During the last few days there has been a renewal of Boer activity in all parts of the theater of war. The tenacity Of the enemy around Colonel Dalgety proves that considerable forces are still there. Lord Roberts has ordered Lord Methuen to re- tire from sBoshof, probably for the same reason The presence of Boer force at Frankfort looks like an intention to eh- deayor to cut off Methuen who may next be heard of as retiring upon Kimberley.
 The Boers are said to have encircled Bloemfoptein to the eastward, In a cres, cent formation. There have been several outpost affairs in that vicinity.
 The eleventh division, under General Pole-Carew and the fourth cavalry brigade are operating toward Sannas post. In Natal there is no dimiution Of Boer ac- tivity.
 1t is reported that Sir Charles Warren is to be appointed governor of the Free State Nothing is known regarding SIT Redvers Butler but there is little doubt re- garding his removal, and rumor has It that Lord Kitchener will get an important ln- dependent command.
 The Boer peace commissioners are un- derstood to have been disappointed by their visit to The Hague, but to be deter mined to visit Berlin and Paris before going to Washington.

BOERS HAVE AGAIN
 BECOME VERY ACTIVE
Lively News is Reported from Various Parts of the Theatre of War

Boer lines. While there, I conversed with Comandant Cronje. second son of the fa- nous general, and with Assistant Com mandant Bowthwaite They had expected Lord Methune to operate to the eastward and were still expecting him, and they were confident that they could defeat his column.
 "Bowthwaite complained that he had not changed his clothing for a fortnight, in- dicating that he had travelled a long dis tance, but I could not ascertain from what point.
 '"The Boer commands occupy strong po- sitions around Spitz Roy, about eight miles northeast of Boshof."

BUTCHER LISTS
Falsifed to Deceive British Intelligence
 Department

London, April 23.-The Lourenzo Mar ques correspondent of the Times, under Saturdays date, says:
 Information received from responsible sources shows that at one time the two republics had 105,000 men in the field, in- cluding the Colonial rebels. According to the same information they can stand mus ter S0,O00 of whom 50000 are in the Free State 10000 are in the Biggarsburg district and 15,000 in the districts of Fourteen Streams and Kloerk's Dorf. It is now be- lieved that before the war the Bursher lists were deliberately falsefied in order to deceive the British intelligence depart ment."
