The answers of William Bouhan to
the damage suits for $500 each re-
Gently instituted against him by Mrs.
Emily Eady and Mrs. Anne Finley
were filed yesterday in the Office of the
clerk of the City Court. In his answer

ing that he used the handle of a large
knife and both she and Mrs. Finley
that he had inflicted upon them pain
ful and serious injuries. They declar-
ed in their petitions that the assault
had been committed without justifica-
ton or excuse. A specific and categor-
ical denial is made by the defendant
to all of these allegations.
Further answering the defendant
says that on the day in question he
was endeavoring to collect the rent Of
certain property owned by his wife
and that before that time he had beer
considerably annoyed by having the
lie was trying to ascertain the names
of the parties engaged in this malicious
mischief
He saw the son of Mrs. Eady throw
ing bricks at the side of one of the
houses, caught the boy in the very
act, carried him % the home of his
mother and asked her to correct the
child. Mrs. Eady. according to the
defendant, informed him that she
would not correct her child for any
Irish hog" and Bouhan says he then
told her he would be compelled, under
the circumstances, have the boy ar

AS he started off with the boy in
search of the nearest policeman he
says he was violently assaulted by
Mrs Eady and that very soon Mrs.
Finley joined in the assault He denies
that he made any assault upon either
of them. saving that which was abso-
lutely necessary to protect himself
against the vicious blows of the pair
of Infatuated women rained upon him.
Bouhan is represented by Mr.. r. l..
Colding.

BACK FROM THE ORIENT.
Cuba, China and the Philippines
visited by Mr.. j. f. Mallory.


Mr.. ]. F. Mallory, who for nearly
three years has been in Cuba, the Phil
ippines and China, spent yesterday
with relatives here, but will leave to-
day for Washington. In a few days
he will again start for the Philippines
to spend probably the next eighteen
months. He will be accompanied this
time by Mrs. Mallory. ----' ~
Mr.. Mallory came to Savannah from
Washington, where, since Feb. 1, he
has been auditing the accounts of the
quartermaster's department in China,
with which he is connected. He went
from Savannah to Cuba, thence to the
Philippines, but when the troops Joined
in the invasion of China he went to
that country, too, being first at Tlen
Tsin and afterward at Pekin.
On his proposed trip Mr.. Mallory
will accompany Col. ] Martin, quar-
termaster, who goes to build at Ma
Mia a brigade barracks, which will
be the largest of its kind ever built
for the United States government, be-
ing capable of accommodating between
5000 and 1000 men. This work, it is
expected, will take about year and
a half.
The Philippines, especially Manila,
is not Il pau pldCc W i've, MI. udliOly
says. The climate isn't at all bad, and
if one take care of himself, that is,
avoid liquor and be moderate in eat
ing, he will enjoy quite as good health
in Manila as anywhere else. You may
be quite sure / think the climate is
all right he said, or 1 shouldn't take
Mrs. Mallory along as I am going to
do this trip.
Mr. Mallory has his doubts about
the pacification of the islands for some
time to come. The trouble about the
matter is, he said, the fact that the
natives belong to some twenty diff
ferent tribes, who usually are at war
among themselves, who recognize the
authority of only their head men, and
consequently are likely to make trou-
BILE at any time and for long time
to come.

TREASURER YBANEZ' BENEFIT.
Is the Next Attraction at the Then

The next attraction at the theater
is Treasurer Ybanez' benefit next
week Thursday matinee and night.
April "a, when he will present Hello
Bill" the rival in comedy of "a Man
From Mexico" and What Happened
to Jones'" 1t is a farcical comedy.
Original in plot and motive clean in
treatment. Mr.. Goodhue's merry play
is an example that it is not necessary
to be vulgar to be funny; and it's finan-
eial success is also evidence that clean
ly farces are more desired by the pub-
lie than the Partisan importations
which have been of late given bane-
full tone to the comedy stage. The
story of Hello Bill" how William
Fuller, who didn't go, to war. got all
that was coming to the William Full
Ter who did, is familiar to theater-go-
ers, and it is sufficient to say that the
company is said to be better than
ever, and the comedy is presented on
a scale of excellence it has never here
tofore known.
