Washington. Dec. 1O.-The first an
nual report of General Chaffee, mill
tary governor of the Philippines. sums
up the situation there from Il military
point of view by stating that the prov
inces of BatangaS and La Guna, in Lu-
Zon, and the islands of Samar. Man
dora, Cebu and Bohol. constitute the
area now disturbed by any embodied
force Of insurgents.
He says that to the physical charac-
ter of the country, to the nature of the
warfare of the rebels, who are amigo
and foe in the selfsame hour. to the hui
manity of the troops, which is taken
advantage of by the rebels and the
inhabitants who sympathZe with
them, and to the fear of assassination
on the part of the friendly disposed
If they give information to the Ameri
can forces, is due the prolongation of
the guerilla warfare.
Commenting upon the plan of grad
ually replacing military with civil ad-
ministration, General Chafce says:
1.-The withdrawal of interference with
civil affairs does not contemplate with
tlrawal of the troops from their sta
tions to any considerable extent: on
the contrary this should not be done
hastily, and when undertaken should
be gradual and more in the nature of
concentration than reduction of force
or abandonment of any considerable
area of territory
He therefore recommends that there
be no further material reduction of
troops before January. 1903 The gov

Garbage Converted into HriuuctteS,

A process has been discovered in
France by which garbage is converted
into briquettes. 1t consists of mincing
the refuse from abattoirs, fish markets,
etc, straw paper and the like, and
adding tar and naphthalene. The
whole mass is then mixed in knead-
Ing apparatus, dried and pressed into
briquettes. These briquettes have a

A NARROW ESCAPE.

A party of young people belonging
to Tallahassee's circle of popular
young ladies and gentlemen came
near meeting a frightful death one
night last week. They endeavOred to
keep the whole hing quiet, but what
purports to- be an authentic story has
reached the TalIahasseean, and is as
follows:
A half dozen or more couples went
out for a straw ride Thursday night.
The stars were shining bright, and
later the, moon came to light the
merry makers on their way. Every
thing went smoothly anu all those
along believing in getting as much
pleasure out of life as possible. No
one counted the fight of time.
Lake Jackson was reached at a
late or early hour. No one is certain
just which, and the placid waters,
rippling coyly under the rays Of the
moon, offered special inducements for
further adventure.
Two boats were handy. One was
Rded and pushed OF with its pre-
Gfous freight. The other followed.
But it did not go far before the young
man in charge found that it was rap
idly SINKING. No time was given to
reach shore, only few feet away,
so the young man, raising a COM
manding voice, said:
Ladies, be right still-Our boat is
sinking. There is no danger if you
remain in the boat, but the mud is so
soft that an effort to get ashore
might prove disastrous"
The first impulse Of those with him

GOOD ROADS.

The County Commissioners of Hills
borough county have called special
election to determine whether or not
they shall issue bonds in the sum Of
Four Hundred Thousand Dollars for
the purpose of constructing good roads.
This is a public spirited movement on
the part of HiIlsborough county's COM
missioners which the people should
uphold by voting for bonds-and in
deed the prospects are that they will
do so. The newspapers throughout
the county seem to favor the project,
and it is therefore pretty certain to go
through.
Four Hundred Thousand Dollars is
a pretty big sum to spend on public
roads, but the experience Of those
sections of the country which have
tried it-some of them spending even
larger sums than this-is that it pays
large dividends. Property within a
radius of five miles of the hard roads
so constructed doubles and trebles in
value and immigration f1ocks to 4
community as a result of such enter
prise.
Bonds to a great many people are
a big bugaboo. But there is no reason
for it. The issue of bonds for all such
public enterprises is the most equir-
able way in which they can be secured.
By direct taxation beforehand to raise
money for them would mean fearful
drain upon the taxpayers, with no
benefit until the full amount is raised
Then in that case we find the worse
than foolhardy anomaly of the pres
ent generation taxing itself for the
benefit of all future Gnes.
On the other hand, the issue OF
bonds secures at once the benefits to
be derived from the improvements
and distributes the taxation over a
large number of years, during which ii
is to be enjoyed, I.csides imposing the
rro rata amount LPOn all those who
are to enjoy the improvement
Nothing can be fairer than such a
plan.
Leon county ought to take up the
matter of good roads in dead earnest.
! We can buiId an enduring highway on
our clay lands for less than half the
amount necessary to construct the
same road in the sand ridges of South
Florida.

DEATH OF MRS. MAXWELL

Mrs. Wiley Maxwell, the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. David Ellis, of this city,
died in Jacksonville Saturday, Sep
tember 7th, where she had gone in
hopes Of recovering from severe at
tack Of complication Of malarial fe-
yer and other troubles consequent uD-
on a residence in the swampy region of
Louisiana with her husband, who is
a carpenter, and had taken a contract
for several buildings in that locality.
Mrs. Maxwell had returned to Talla-
hassee, her home, but removed to
Jacksonville, when her husband went
to that city to work in the burned dis
trict. She had been ailing for about
ten weeks before going to Jackson
vile.
The remains were brought here Sun
day afternoon, and Immediately taken
to the Episcopal Cemetery. Services
were held at the house.
Mr.. Ellis is night watchman at the
capitol building, and has a host of
friends who sympathize with him in
his af1iction. Mrs. Maxwell also leaves
many friends to mourn her loss.

THE FLORIDA STATE FAR.

The question was asked your re-
porter few days since, by a native OF
Georgia, why Florida was to Lave, a
State. fair at this time-this year in
particular, and especially why It was
to occur at Jacksonville, the fire
swept city, instead of some other place
in the State. The reporter replied that
in the first place Florida intended to
have a State fair held somewhere in
the State at least once every few years;
second, that the ignorance Of outside
States and individuals as to the real
resources and possibilities was such as
to make a State fair at this time nee
essary; and third, that because Jack
sonville had so lately been a fire.
swept city, people were not to think or
to believe that she had stopped grow
ing, or was unable to keep up With the
times.
The following extracts from the
Florida Industrial Record, which con-
tains the official premium list of the
Florida State Fair, so fully answers
these queries that we quote them:
The Coming Fair-"A fair is the
channel through which the people Of a
S.ate address themselves to the world
collectively, and by concentrating the
fruits of their Industrial life the world
can witness the progress and achieve
lments made by the people in ali pur-
suits.
cit has long been recognized that
| nothing man can do that stimulates to
a greater degree the productive energy
of State or community than the COM
petition and rivalry produeeu by a well
conducted State fair, and growing out
of the clash Of ideas spring invention
anu discovery. Such is the purpose
of the Florida State Fair, to be held at
Jacksonville next November, and in
presenting an official premium list the
Industrial Record places before the
world groups of competitions upon
which a great State is now being re-
constructed.
FLORIDA Of to-day differs widely
from the Florida of ten years ago
when the last State fairs were held al
Jacksonville and Ocala. Necessity has
brought upon us new era, and the
light Of reconstructed agriculture has
led us into new channels, hence the
necessity Of holding this fair in order
