Boston. Aug. S.-If no yacht can be

History in the Philippines.

Washington, May l6-Tangible evi-
dence that Gen. Macarthur is prosecut-
ing an active campaign of education
in the Philippines comes to the war
department in the shape of a number
of copies of a condensed History OF
the United States of America, which
has been published under the Military
Governors direction and is being scat
tered broadcast for the enlightenment
of the Filipino race.
The history, although necessarily
condensed, is very comprehensive. 1t
is printed in both English and Span
ish in alternate pages. The frontis
piece is map of the United States.
Then follows a presentation of facts
concerning the physical features of
this nation, the separation of the
American colonies from Great Britain
and the nations growth after inde-
pendence, both as to territorial and
industrial development. The govern
ment itself is then taken up and set
forth in detail, national state and local,
and the outcome, and concludes with
the full text Of the constitution, its
amendments and the Declaration of
Independence.
The publication of this little volume
marks the first opportunity which
Fillipinos generally have had to read
for themselves the fundamental laws
of the United States of America.

ATTEMPT TO ANNUL LEASE OF
The SOUTH BOUND.
Because the seaboard is a For
eign Corporation.

Columbia, May 17.-From the YER
dict against the South Bound in the
Watts damage suit, and the failure to
pay the judgment has grown a most
interesting legal proceeding-an appli-
cation for annulment of the lease Of
the South Bound railroad to the Sea-
board Air Line, the appointment Of
receiver for the South Bound and an
injunction against the operation of
the road by the Seaboard. The pre-
liminary rule to show cause has been
issued by Judge Gage and it is made
returnable on Wednesday next. It is
asked that the court annul the leases
of the South Bound railroad to the
F. c. and p. railroad, and the
subsequent lease of the South Bound
company's property to the Seaboard
Air Line company on the ground that
both the Florida Central and PENN
sular and Seaboard Air Line compa-
nies are foreign corporations and nei-
ther of them have been incorporated
in South Carolina as required under
the acts of this State. The matter is
one that is full of legal possibilities.
All the papers in the case were serv-
ed yesterday afternoon. The attorneys
for Watts who have taken this step
are Messrs. P. II. Nelson and Jno. P.
Thomas, Jr., of this city and Attor-
ney General Bellinger. The matter
will no doubt be productive of a very
lively legal battle. It will be remem-
bered that recently about 13 miles of
the track of the South Bound railroad
was levied upon to meet the Judgment
in the Watts case. The track has been
advertised for sale to the lowest bid

AMERICAN BRIGANDs IN LUZOA.
They Commit Horrible Grimes IneIud-
ing Murder and Rape.

Manila. May 14.-Detectives and the
police have broken up band of Amer
lean brigands, who have been operat-
ing in the province of Pampanga,
north of and not far from Manila.
George Raymond, Ulrich Rogers and
Oscar Mushmiller have been captured,
and Andrew Martin, Peter Heise, Geo
Muh and two others are still being
pursued. This band committed out

and on Sunday last they killed Henry
Dow, an American. The band some
times represented themselves as Amer
lean deserters and at other times as
American soldiers. George Raymond
wore the uniform OF captain. Ray
mond and Martin were formerly police
men in Manila.

The War in South Africa.

London, May 15.-The Pretoria cor
respondent Of the Times in letter,
dated April 16, says:
"In another fortnight the South
African winter will have arrived, and,
unless the Beers are prevented from
moving north to the bush veldt and
hostilities are somehow ended, there
will be another spell of severe and
unsatisfactory campaigning in an
impossible country, together with
five months OF comparative peace in
the two colonies, to be broken by
recrudescence of guerrilla operations
all over the country when the spring
rains enable the enemy to operate on
the high veldt.
s'But this will mean no respite to
the troops, no moving into winter
quarters, but only continuance of
the most demoralizing warfare that
can be undertaken.
The correspondent then describes
81 strenuous scheme which is on foot
to prevent the enemy retiring north
into winter quarters" but he does
not appear to be very sanguine of its
succass.

bureau" he says, "show that there
are still between eighteen thousand
and nineteen thousand burghers avail
able for service, although no COM
mandos are known to exist larger than
eight hundred men,

LEFT ON THE DOORSTEP.
The Story of a Three Weeks Old
Baby Girl.

TUESDAY night about midnight the
Rev. R. P. Pell, president of the Pres
byterian College for Women, went
down to close the front door before he
retired. He heard noise which he
at first thought came from cat. He
looked around to run the animal away
and was amazed to find that the noise
was made by little baby.
He reported to police headquarters
and asked that an officer be sent out.
Meanwhile the infant was cared for at
the college. The waif is little girl,
about four or five weeks old, healthy
and pretty. Her clothes are not of
the finest material, but very nicely
made. The baby's fine condition and
the neatness of its clothes indicated
anything else than poverty.
Mr.. Pell not being in position to
care for the little one, turned it over
to some good women who conduct the
door OF Hope. y There the little
one is now, and she is being well car
ed for.
The child had not long been on the
porch when Mr.. Pell found it. for
some one had been on the porch not
half an hour before, and the waif was
not there then.
These facts were Willingly given by
DR.. Pell yesterday.
1t is probable that the bundle was
brought into the city on one of the
night trains and deposited on the
porch of this inviting and homelike
place The State.

BLOODSHED IN ALBANY.
The Law Defed by a HowIing Mob
of Men, Women and Boys.

Albany, N. Y, May l4.-When
darkness fell this evening several
thousand weary street car strikers and
sympathizers went to their houses,
but they were replaced by as mary
more, who took up the vigil to pre-
vent the United Traction men from
running their cars with non-union
men. The darkness brought some con-
fdence that there would be no attempt
before morning to move Gears, for
two attempts made in broad daylight
had brought bloodshed and riot on
such scale that the local police, as
sisted by scores Of deputies and Pink
erton men, had beer unable to quell
the disturbance. One man lies in the
hospital seriously wounded, one OF
the cars the company attempted to run
is in the gutter of g street nearly two
blocks from the car house, wrecked,
and the trolley wires are cut in several
places, practically crippling the road.
Near the car houses are thousands OF
men, women and children, wrought up
to pitch of frenzy that bodies Ill if
the doors of the car house open to let
out another car. Inside the car house,
afraid even to look out Of the grated
windows, are about seventy-6ve non
union men, whom the company ex-
poets to use in running the cars.
Early this morning there were about
one hundred and fifty of them, but by
night fall sixty-fve had deserted and
joined the ranks of the strikers. The
men claim that they were brought
here under misapprehension and that
they supposed they were going. to
Philadelphia.
This afternoon the police practically
admitted that they were powerless to
take care of the large crowds on the
streets if cars were ran, and General
Manager Mcnamara Immediately call
ed upon Gen. Oliver, in command OF
the Sd brigade, for protection. He
said: Eve intend to run our cars if
it takes the entire National Guard OF
the State to protect us. -
Gen. Oliver issued an order assem-
bling at their armory tonight the 10th
battalion of Albany, comprising four
companies of the National Guard OF
Infantry, and the Sd signal corps,
mounted. Gen. Oliver said that he
would warn the remainder of the Sd
brigade to be in readiness for call
The riot today was full Of exciting

Exciting Scenes when Non-Union Men
Arrived in the City.

Albany, N. Y, May 15.-So serious
is the situation here tonight over the
traction company strike that Gov.
Oden postponed the continuance of a
trip to State institutions which he
had undertaken and returned to the
executive mansion. Two thousand arm
ed soldiers are now within the city
limits, more are coming and $500 are
in readiness to move to Troy when Gov
Odell so orders. Tie streets are
thronged with excited men, women and
children and the otherwise quiet day
terminated in bloodshed a dramatic
element was added to the days fea-
lures by the sudden death OF Adit.
Gen. Hoffman.
AS long as the traction company
does not attempt to move cars or bring
in non-union men, the crowds on the
street remain good natured except for
taunting the soldiers and police, but
the instant an attempt IS made to
work on the lines or bring non-union
men in the crowd becomes frenzied
and bloodshed results.
Citizens saber-slashed, non-union
men with broken limbs and bloody
faces, women and children trampled
under foot, soldiers manned with fly
ing missiles and leaders in the crowds
beaten with muskets were some of the
results of the day. Anticipating an
attempt toemove the street cars in
Troy, Maj. Gen. Roe has ordered the
18th, 14th, Tand 47th regiments OF
Brooklyn, Troop c of Brooklyn, the
Second signal corps, the 18th separate
company and the Third battery, which
carries Gatling guns to hold them
selves inssreadiness to move immediate

Corn cornered in Chicago.

Chicago, May 15.-May corn, which
has been cornered on the board CT
trade and which has been rather mac
tive for ten days, advanced to new
high price record today, when it sold
at so cents per bushel. This is the
highest price since the corner of May,
1892. Phillips, who formed the cor
ner, bid the market up, but only a
few small lots. 1t was rumored on
Change that he had permitted shorts
to settle for 500, 600 bushels privately
at 60 cents.

to be helped from the wagons. The
strikers say that IS strike breakers de-
serted during the ride and that less
than so were safely landed in the
barn.
In hollow square of infantry pro-
tected by lines of pickets that reach
into every bisecting street and outer
skirmish line in circular form that
encompassed all, the traction tower
wagon was moved out of the barn this
afternoon and two hours were spent in
repairing trolley, wires. The heavy
force of guardsmen and the stringency
of the protective measures seemed to
awe the crowds that surged around
the outer skirmish line and there was
no disorder. The soldiers were jeered
and derided but no one offered them
violence. The city is quiet at mid
night.
Both the strikers and the railroad
people claim that there has been no
further attempt at negotiations for a
settlement.
The company says that it will pro-
ceed to move cars tomorrow under
guard of the soldiers and Gen. Roe,
in command of the troops, says he
will ASSIST to the best of his ability
with his 2,2oo troops.

ROBBING The CHINESE.
The Ezorbitant indemnity Which They
Cannot Pay.

Washington, May IA cablegram
from Mr.. Rockhill, our special COM
missioner at Pekin, received at the
State department today, mentions the
receipt by the ministers of the re-
sponse of the Chinese ENJOYS to the
ministers demands for indemnity.
The dispatch indicated briefly that
the Chinese represent that an annual
payment of $40, 600, 0Oois the full extent
of their power, and it will take thirty
years to discharge the debt at that
rate without interest. Mr.. Rockhill
makes no mention of the subject Of
interest, nor does he touch upon the
means by which the money is to be
raised by China, or say who is to
guarantee a loan necessary to be made.
It appears that the Chinese feel them
selves obliged to submit to the powers
in this question of indemnity as in all
other things, and though realizing
their own inability to assume this in
debtedness of $50, oo,0O0 taels, they
feel obliged to make the effort. Mr..
Rockhill has been instructed to con-
tinue his efforts to secure an abate-
ment of the total indemnity, but in
the present disposition of the Powers
little hope of success is entertained.
Pekin, Sunday, May 12.-The offer
of China in reply to the statement of
the ministers Of the foreign Powers as
to the losses sustained by nations and
individuals in China has been received.
The answer commences with an appeal
for mercy, saying that the country is
impoverished. The answer explains
that the utmost China can offer is
Is, OOO, 600 taels annually for the next
thirty years. This amount will be
raised as follows: From salt, 10, 600, 600
taels, from the liken tax %, 600, 600 and
from native customs g, 000,000. The
communication further asserts that
were this done it would leave the
country unable to meet the expenses
of Government without assistance. It
is therefore, requested that the foreign
customs be increased one-third, and
the receipts therefrom to be given to
China for the purposes Of Government.
The ministers refuse to discuss this
answer until it has been considered by
them in meeting.
CHINA's REPLY NOT ACCEPTA-
BILE.
London, May 15.-Dr. Morrison,
wiring to the Times from Pekin, says
"The Chinese reply to the ministers
of the Powers is not acceptable. For
the first time in the history of diplo-
matte relations with the Chinese a
French translation accompanied the
dispatch. -
