GEN. MACARTHUR ARRIVES.
Reaches Home After Long and Hon.
OrabIe Service in Philippines.


San Francisco. Cal, Aug. 1S.-Gen
Macarthur arrived from Manila to-day
on the transport Sheridan. After
spending a day or so here, Gen. Mac
Arthur will leave for Washington to
report to the War Department. S. M.
Green of Milwaukee met Gen. Mac
Arthur here with a greeting from the
people of Milwaukee and an invitation
from the Merchants and Manufacture
ers' Association of that city to a
sumptuous feast when he shall arrive
home. Gen. Macarthur left Manila
July 4 and spent several days travel
ing in Japan, leaving Yokohama Aug.
3. On conditions in the Philippines, the
General said he could say nothing be-
yond what was contained in his report
to the War Department made July 4,
the day of his departure.
Gen. Macarthur regards the capture
of Aguinaldo as one of the most vital
| features of his campaign. He said
Aguinaldo, since his capture, had been
of service in bringing about a full &C
acknowledgement of the authority of the
United States.
MacArthur's Statement.
Chicago, Aug. 1S-The Record Herald
will print tomorrow the statement OBJ
tanned from Gen. Macarthur by a
representative in San Francisco:
WAR has wrecked the Philippines
and laid waste whole districts. The
people in these districts have relapsed
! into barbarism. The best conditions
prevail in Northern Luzon. You may
say that the whole territory is pacified,
but not tranquilized, but 1t will not be
many months before law and order are
observed everywhere.
while the conditions are not perfect
! they are gratifying. A few groups of
armed insurgents are still at large, but
they will soon surrender, as their
power is broken and they are not be-
| ing aided by the natives. These ma
| tiyes have come to see that surrender
| does not mean death and they are COM
ing in every week with their rifles.
throughout Northern Luzon the in
| surrection has been dead for some time
and there is freedom of movement
| Still a large criminal class there COM
| mits depredations on Americans ana
| natives, though the latter suffer the
| most severely. The natives are eagerly
| seeking the establishment of civil gov
| eminent that they may root out these
| bands of criminals. There is every rea-
| son to believe that the whole country
will soon be perfectly safe for travel
| ers.
"At present there is some trouble at
| Samar, but Gen. Hughes, with a large
and effective force, has gone after them
and will soon bring the. insurgents to
their senses. That is the worst place,
but it is not interfering with the coast
| business, In Cebu and Bohul, and oc-
| casionally IN Southern Luzon there is
a slight outbreak, but 1t is caused by
the criminal element.
"The civil commission was about to
nut in force some excellent ideas for
the municipal government for the city
of Manila when left. The city is in ex
celIent condition, especially in its san
itary department, and its growth has
been remarka BILE"

IN OUR NEW ISLANDS.
civil and Military omciaIs Gratifed
at Progress Made by Commission.

Manila, Aug. 1S.-Both the civil and
military officials are gratified at the
progress now being made by the Phil
ippine Commission. Everywhere
throughout the northern islands the
commissioners find conditions ready for
civil government; and Gen. Chaffee has
received none but satisfactory news
from Batangas and Mindoro, advices
from those districts telling uniformly
OF captures and surrenders. Many
rifles have been obtained recently and
large quantities of supplies secured.
Malvar and his principal officers are
being closely pressed.
Representative Julian Kahn, who left
Manila to-day, says the great needs of
the Philippines are a fast line of
steamers to carry the mails and to keep
the people in touch with current events,
electric cars, and the removal of the
Nipa houses from Manila, these to be
replaced by villas.
Mr.. Kahn conversed with many ed
ucated natives and got the impression
that they were by no means all suffi-
GENTLY versed in popular government
to manage the affairs of the archipel-
ago.
Quartermaster General Ludington
has been considering the possibilities of
obtaining coal in the Philippines at a
cost below the Japanese figures. In the
opinion of those qualified to judge,
however, the coal available in the arch
ipelago is inferior, and the cost of
transporting it to the coast where
transports could load it-taking into
account the present exorbitant prices
of everything, labor included-would
bring the total outlay probably above
tie Japanese figures.
The government officers are finding 1t
difficult to retain the services of the
best stenographers, as private firms Of
fer much higher compensation.
The municipal board holds daily ses-
sions, but most of the business trans
acted at present deals with minor APP
pointments.
Gov. Taft has wired Gen. Chaffee,
asking permission to appoint Capt.
William H. c. Bowen of the Fifth
United States Infantry to be governor
of the province of Abra, owing to the
local jealousies which render a local
appointment difficult.

PECULIAR EFFECTS OF THE RE
CENT STORM IN TENsAs SWAMP.

Flood of Waters Drive Deer and

Steamship Evelyn Lying in Easy
Position.
Mobile. Ala, Aug. 1S.-The Louisville
and Nashville Railroad, which was put
out of business between this city and
New Orleans, was put in condition to-
day, the first train from New Orleans
arriving in Mobile during the day. Tel
egraphic communication with New Or

Nashville runs. completely demoralized
the wild animals which have their
haunts in that wild waste. Many deer
came upon the railroad track to escape
the flood and the linemen caught one,
which was so exhausted by swimming
that 1t was unable to get away. big
black bear also came out of the swamp,
but was not captured.
Information to-day from the Ameri-
can steamer Evelyn, ashore on the
south coast near the entrance to Pen
sacola harbor, is to the effect that she
lies in an easy position and can posi-
bly, be pulled off. Towboat men of Mo-
bile are arranging to pull her out of
the sand.
The schooner George E. Bentley was
towed into the lower bay this afternoon
with all sails and part of her deck load
gone. The four-masted schooner Ed
ward Stotesbury also arrived in the
lower bay during the afternoon leaking
badly, with eleven feet of water in her
hold. Both boats are lumber laden and
sailed from this port last week.

FROM FLORIDA.
Many Political Lightning Rods BE-
ing Raised in New Congressional
District.


ing Raised in New Congressional
District.
Tallahassee, Fla. Aug. 1S.-Florida is
a great state politically, as it is in
numerous other matters. The creation
of new congressional district has
made some new politics for Florida,
which may bring about new political
alliances and break up many plans al
ready adopted by some of the Demo-
cratic politicians. Already in this the
new Third congressional district, a
young and active set of politicians have
been developed, most of whom are anx-
ious to become Florida's new congress-
man, and judging from the political
maneuverings of a number Of them.
who desire to represent the state at
Washington, they must imagine that
the campaign is now in full blast,
despite the fact that the election is
more than fourteen months in the fu-
ture.
But there is another important fight
ahead of the Florida Democracy. 1t is
clearly apparent that a contest of no
small dimensions is brewing on the
primary question. In almost every nook
and corner of the state Democrats are
heard denouncing the primary system
of nominating candidates for Office. The
opponents of the primary are heard to
urge that the system will transform
the Democratic party from a popular
party of the people into a rich mans
party, since only the rich are able to
nut up the enormous sums required to
conduct a primary election. This fight.
1t is claimed, viii be inaugurated in the
State Democratic Committee the first
time II assemblies.
On the other hand 1t is concluded
that this is not the time to precipitate
such a fight in the party, though II is
bound to come sooner or later. The
claim that the primary system now
practically has the unanimous indorse-
Tnent OF the party, having been adopts
ed by the last state convention by an
overwhelming vote, last June. Later
likewise, and the Legislature of 1901
gave it's approval to this. action of the
party by enacting a primary election
law.
Upon these facts Democrats contend
that the state committee is not the
proper body to settle this all-important
question-that the parry must settle 1t
by a popular vote, or by a state con-
vention to which delegates shall be
chosen with that understanding.
Under the existing conditions there
are many Democrats, who are not
welded to the primary system, but are
decidedly in favor of giving II fair
trial, under the new primary law, be-
fore a contest shall be made for a
change.

From the Baltimore Southern Farm
Magazine.

From the Baltimore Southern Farm
Magazine.
His visit to the Southern Farm Mag
azine was so like a breath of fresh air
full of sunshine that it is worth more
than mere record. Standing six feet
two or three inches, as straight as an
arrow, with clear eyes looking straight
from a. bronzed face under gray brows
and hair, he was enthusiastic for South
Carolina. his native state, and for the
South.
THE man who says that white men
cannot work in the South" said he,
with fascinating smile, sis merely ex-
cusing laziness." Then, gently ques-
toned he modestly, but in a tone of
justifiable pride, told his story about
as follows:
my father intended to send me to
Hampden- Sidney College. / was four
teen years old. The war interrupted
our plans, and I took to the pillow. My
father did not suggest 1t, but 1 saw IL
was necessary to help him. l have
been at the pillow ever since. ! have
farmed in the up-country, near Able
VILE, and l have farmed in the low
country. We had to go there in the
hope of benefiting my fathers health.
They told me that 1 would have fever
every year, and 1 had one attack of
fever, but people die of fever in the
mountains"
A tone of affection crept into his
voice as he added: Il have raised ten
children; five of them are well settled
in life and the other five are coming
on, all going to school. Don't talk to
me about a man not being able to work
in the South"

South to-day. To them the South is
looking for its magnificent future In

Diver VIII Look for Victims of Re-

New York. Aug. 1S.-The steam pilot
boat New York to-day took on board a
diver with full apparatus for deep sea
work and started down outside Sandy
Hook to make an effort to recover the
bodies of the men drowned from the
pilot boat James Gordon Bennett when
she was cut down by the German
steamer Alene. Up to dark tonight
the diver had not succeeded in locating
any of the bodies, in fact was not even
able to find the two parts of the Ben
nett, although the places where they
went down had been most carefully
noted. The search will be continued to-
morrow morning. The pilots fear the
bodies will rise on an ebb tide and be
carried to sea. The life savers along
the New Jersey and Long Island shores
have been asked to keep careful
watch for the bodies.
