ing a Success.


MANILA, April 29.=zGen. George Davis

danao, and has had an interview with
nine dattos who are dessrous Of peace
and friendship. Pappck, one of these dat
tos; said he did not write the defiant

it was written in the house of priest
from Taisaira while he was sick. The
priest fled on the appearance of the
troops.
Gen. Davis says the policy of waiting
for strong force, showing friendship
to the natives and paying for supplies,
Is having good results.

Infantry, is clearing the trails. He gets
more work out of the Morros than any
one else. When the reinforcements reacn

WOMEN AND ORDERS.
Americans on Whom English Honors
Have Been Conferred.

From the New York Tribune
The number of women-especiauy Ameri-
can mountaineering orders at the recent

subject Of orders in general. The Ameri-
can who is entitled to wear the greatest
number of orders is Mrs. George Cornwall

Order of the Crown of India. the Royal
Red Cross and the Order of St John of

shares with number of her sex-some of
the better known being Baroness Burdett-
CoUts and Lady Chesham, who was one of
the chief organizers of the Imperial Yeo-
many Hospital in South Africa about
which so much has been written. The
Order of St. John is the oldest of the four
English orders to which women are eligible,
having been instituted in the twelfth
fury.
The three others are the Royal Order Of
Victoria and Albert, founded by Queen Vic
toria in 1862: the Imperial Order of the
Crown of India. instituted to commemorate
her assumption of the title of empress. and
the ROYAL Red Cross founded in 1888 to

A special to the New York World from
Raleigh, N. c., yesterday says:
Representative Blackburn figured In a
lively fist fight in Battery Park Hotel. Ashe-
vile, today. Editor Fred Merritt of the

"A northern paper prints a sensational
story to the effect that the fiancee of Con-
gresham E. Spencer Blackburn declares
that their wedding is conditional upon his
reelection to Congress. II that is true
then there'n be no wedding, unless tn.
drummer boy chooses another bride"
When Editor Merritt entered the hote,
Representative Blackburn, who had for
hours been watching for him, jumped at
him and struck him several blows in the
face. A scene of wild confusion followed
Many ladies ran from the lobby while mer
rushed forward to stop Blackburn. One OF
the first to take hold of him was an Ala
bama gentleman, who scarcely touched the
lnfuriated representative before he was
KNOCKED down by II. c. Cowles, a leading
republican, who called for fair play"
Senator Pritchard, who was a few feet
away, stepped forward and said: No ono
must interfere with Blackburn while he Isl
resenting an insult. not only to himself, butt
to the congressman's intended bride"
Merritt was at last led away. looking as
IL he had met Jeffries.
