THE SOLDIERS IN MANILA.
Present Force Considered made auate for Emergencies, and to
 he Reinforced.

Manila. Aug. 26.-In the city of Ma nila there are now less than one thou sand effective soldiers. and it has been decided to increase this number by four mPanies of infantry. The of fieial reason for the increase is that the guard duty is too heavy for the present force. As a matter of fact, however, there is a feeling that, al- though there is no apparent uprising in the future such as is always possi- ble among the Malays, it would be better to have q sufficient body of troops available.
 Gen. Chaffee says he considers the city of Manila to be perfectly orderly and he can see no prospect of an up- rising,
 Commissioner Wright thinks the people "estremely peaceable." He is satisfied that although among a cer- tam class there is some discontent on account of the land tax, which is not yet understood, this class is not like ly to foment trouble.
 Many army officers say they are gratified at the increase in the mili- tHry force. They think that, with the military guard withdrawn from the prison, an uprising there might result in the release of about eighteen hum dred prisoners
 Civil officials look upon this con- tineency as unlikely, inasmuch as the 60e white police could mobilize at the prison before any of the prisoners could escape and become dispersed throughout the disaffected district.

GoIES OF THE MODES.
The Latest in Gowns. skirt. ana F:ucy N afsts for Followers
 of the FashiHos.

Plaited skirts are everywhere en evidence. and many of the satin, tai feta and peau de soie 6oleros are plaited 10 correspond. the stitching added. giving them the effect Of me cords. The sweeping, clinging gowns of soft delicious creped satin and crepe de Chine in cream-color char treuse green, Persian mauve eitron and ciel blue are greatly enhanced in their svelte. graceful effect by their trimmings of costly netted fringes. which finish the edges of the long overdresses and Marie Antoin- cite fchus, shaped with scarf ends of extra lengh which add not little to the artistic grace of the entire gown, says the New York Post.
 One of the pretty modes of mak- ing a plaited skirt is 10 stitch down the plaits at the top in the shape Of a pointed yoke, the stitching reach ing it's greatest lengths on the front and below the hips. The hem of the skirt is finished either with lines of horizontal tucking, or with rows of velvet or satin ribbon laid on fat, and about half an inch apart
 In the bewildering exhibit of fancy waists for the summer are those of all-over silk net or embroidery, through the meshes or open designs of which are run satin or velvet ribbons. These are put in to form many different effects, one of the most intricate being the deep eorse- let made by starting the ribbons at the side seams and carrying them to the center Of the front. where they meet and form rosettes with many ends. Sleeves, boleros, enimpes. yest-fronts and revers are likewise made of these expensive all overs threaded with ribbon of yari- ous widths and colors.
 The beautiful gray gowns always favored by French women are great ly in evidence among summer cos tunes and toilets, many wholly gray, but formed of two materials like crepe de chine and creped satin sul- tan or repped silk and Henrietta cloth. More youthful creations from various French atelers combine soft opal gray with a brilliant shade of eoquelieot red or old rose with cut steel and opal bead trimmings, or more elaborate designs of gray silk applique with medallion centers of white lace or of'colored silk embroi- deries in delicate P Prsian effects.
 very pretty gown of corn-eolored barege is made with tucked skirt trimmed with graduated foHnce edged with narrow black velvet rib bon and above it two bands of broad lace insertion. The bodice is tucked, and decorated with bands of the in- sertion going round the figure. and joined under bands of velvet rib bon whose ends in front cross over q lace blouse, and are caught by tiny gold buckles. The wired collar is of transparent lace, and narrow black velvet ribbon is strapped about it. fastening with little gold clasps. The sleeves are made of the insertion put together with velvet ribbon. and end at the elbow, in a frif Of the velvet-edged barege with an inside frill of lace. 4 three-ineh ribbon of black velvet is carried round the waist and drawn through a round gold buckle, the long ends falling to the hem of the skirt.

Hoey was appointed collector about . year and half ago. His home is il Muncie, Ind. Jossey came from the state of Washington. When Hoey re eeived his appointment he came to Washington to receive instructions as 10 his duties, and al that time Sec retary Gage took occasion 10 talk with him on the subject of the duty of public officials. He was cautioned 10 avoid every temptation to wrong doing, and that to a certain limited extent the honor of the governm mt was placed in his hands. Secretary Gage explained that his predecessor at Nogales had been displaced be- cause of certain alleged violations of the yicil-service laws and regulations, and warned him that his adninistra- ton of the office must be at all times clean and above suspicion for his own honor and that of the country.
 The number of Chinese who have bought their way into the United States through the alleged conniy- ance of the Sogales officials is not known. but 1t is believed To be large.

THE MOB WAS MEMORABLE.
Henry NoIes, the Negro Murderer of nrA William ms. Near Winchester, Tenn,
 Bnrusd the Stak~s

Chattanooga, Tenn, Aug. 26.-Hen- ry Ncles, the negro who criminally as saulted and shot to death Mrs. Will jams, wife of a prominent farmer near Winchester. Tenn. last Friday. was captured early yesterday morning at Water Tank near Cowan, Tenn. He was taken to Winchester by his cap tors and placed in the county jail. Sheriff Stewart Iaade haste to try to barricade the jail and protect the prisoner. Soon an angry mob of ses- eral hundred men gathered and made an attempt: but Assistant Prosecut- ing Attorney Matt \. Whitaker ap- peared and made a speech to the crowd He appealed to them to as sist him in allaying excitement and upholding the majesty of the law. He promised to reconyene the grand jury to-day to promptly indict the negro and have him speedily tried at the present term of court, assuring the crowd that his conviction and legal execution was foregone conclusion.
 This appeal was supplemented by Judge J. J. Lynch, Capt. ". P. Talley, Jessie Nj. Littleton, Foster Ramsey and others.
 No sooner had their appeals been made than several hundred citizens from the neighborhood where the crime was committed. came up and augmented the crowd 10 thousands. They swept forward upon the jail, oyerpowered the sheriff and his dep uties, took the prisoner and started for the scene of the crime, F miles distant, at 10:15 q. m. The mob was orderly, but determined It seemed that the whole population for miles around had turned out to see the fate of the wretch. A procession three miles in length followed the mob to the Williams home. Arriving at a point in sight of the scene of the crime, tine negro was placed upon stump, and given chance to make statement.
 He mounted the stump stolidly, and laughed as he began his state ment. He said:
 ''Tell all my sisters and brothers to meet me in glory. am golng to make that my home. Tell my mother 10 meet me were parting will be no more"
 He was then asked as to whether anyone else was implicated in the crime. He stated emphatieally that there was no one implicated but him self.
 hy did you kill Mrs Williams" he was asked.
 "T just done that because l had nothing else to do."
 He finished his statement at 10:3j o'clock. He was taken from the stump, carried to tree near by. bound to the tree by chains and his body saturated with oil.
 At 0:40 a. m. match was applied and instantly the auiyering body was enyeloped in flames. Fence rails were pitched about the burning body and soon life was extinct The negro made no odtery at any time, and died as stolidly as a stoic. There were no dis orderly scenes about the burning body. 1t least six thousand persons witnessed the horrible fate of the ne- gro. Many remained until nightfall, aueumenting the blaze until the body Was entirely consumed. They then departed for their homes quietly.

ROTTEN NORK AT MORALES
Collector of Customs Hoey and Almost His Entire Force
 Reported Involved.
CHINESE SNUGGLED FROM MEXICO.
ID the Case-Secretary Gage Had Warned Hoey to be Good-Hoey is Hoosier, Coming From Mum efe.

Washington, Aug 25.-Proba ply the most important arrests ever made in connection with the smuggling of Chinese across the Mexican border in- e the United States were made Fri day in Arizona, when Wm. \. Hoey, collected of customs at Nogales; B. !. Jossey. an immigrant inspector; Frank How. Chinaman living in No gales, and another Chinaman living at Clifton, Mex. just across the border from Nogales, were taken into cus- tody by special agents of the treas urv and secret service operatives. Other arrests are expected 10 follow within a day or two. It was stated that with two or three exceptions the whole customs and immigration ad- ninistrations at Nogales are involved.
 The Department Given a 'sTip."
 Some time ago an official of the treasury department having Nogales as his headquarters, wrote the de partment that he had reason 10 be- Geve the official force at that point was corrupt, and that Chinese h large numbers were being smuggled across the border for a consideration. A secret service operative was sent there at once, and plans laid to se- cure evidence against the persons un- der suspicion. Several Ghinamen were furnished with money and sent on to buy their way through the official gordon.
 Accomplished Without Difficulty.
 This was accomplished without diff fculty, the price demanded being from $50 to S2OO. The secret serv4ce men also arranged with one or two employees, whose honesty had been tested. to go into the collectors office at certain time, and demand a share of the money being received from Chinamen, and to be admitted into the combination so that they might get their share of the proceeds of fu ture deals. This was reluctantly agreed to, and considerable sums ef money were handed over in the pres ence and full hearing of seeret sers- ice man, who had previously seereted himself in near by office closet.
 Certificates With CabaIistie Mark.
 The officials soon found that China men who presented certificate marked with the letter A were al lowed to proceed without question, while those having certificates that did not bear this cabalistic mark were turned back without ceremony. Later on it was developed tha' the letter "A" on certificate indicated that the amount demanded had been paid. Several Chinamen were sent through with the requisite "A" mark on their certificates made by one of the secret-seryice men. The utmos care and secrecy was maintained from the first to secure positive proof against each man under suspicion \ special United States attorney wli! be detailed to prosecute the persons ar rested
