Then, so the story goes, Blanco's s
natural color asserted itself once
more and he resumed his place on
shipboard as man of ebony.
II had heard of negro turning
white from fright" said Capt. z R,
Thomson OF the Small, "but it was
the first time I ever saw such trans.
formation. Ordinarily Blanco is SIS
black as night, but while the storm
lasted he was almost as white as
snow"
In wrecked condition the schooner
came into port yesterday and was
towed to dry dock. Three weeks age

A worthy man, who was very SEN
sitive and retired having cost his wife,
privately requested that be might be
remembered in the minister morn
ing prayer from the pulpit, but ask.
ed that his name might not be men

On Sunday the good minister pray

brother, upon whom the heavy hand
of sore affliction has so lately fallen" "
At this point an elderly man, whom
the minister had married to a very
young wife during the week, rose
with a bounce and stamped down the
aisle, muttering loud enough TO be
heard all over the chapel:
1T may be an affiict;on, but I'm

to be- chief deputy marshal, under
Marshal Cunningham, is, of course,
the most interesting. l. is reported
on excellent authority, and it is be-
lieved it will dispose of his case, and
be an easy let down. The salary of
the chief deputy marshal is $1,000
per annum, and while, of course, that
is by no means as good a berth as
the postmastership, which pays an
income of So 500 per annum, it is q
rich and juicy plum. With Harris
disposed of, it is believed the most
likely candidates for the postmaster
ship will be former Postmaster
Albert e. Mowrv, srd ". B. Wilson,
and it is the opinion Ct those who
claim to have the situation in hand
that one or the other will be appoint
ed postmaster at Charleston.
Another interesting Development
is likely to be the appointment of
Ernest Cochran, the Assistant Uaited
States District Attorney, as internal
revenue collector. to succeed Collec-
tor Koester, whose nomination is now
held up by the Senate finance com.
mittee. It is generally regarded as
impossible for Koester to be confirm
ed and the withdrawal of his nomi-
nation by the President has been
common gossip for some time. It IS
said that Mr.. Cochran will have the
endorsement of District Attorney
Capers and vii! be the most likely
candidate.

Cleveland's Speech.

New York, June 20-Telegrams
from prominent Democrats in the

commenting on Cleveland's speech
last night at the Tilden club. CLARK
Howell, of the Atlanta Constitution
and Democratic national com mittee

been a paci6cator. When he says
the Democratic party is far from in
solvercy, but no one should be ofenc-
ed at the suggestion that its capital

true and follows it with suggestion
that would have become him to have
omitted Cleveland should know by
this time that the serious Injury to
Democratic capital and prospects be-
gan with himself, and his admins

Governor Beckham, of Kentucky,
says: There is no reorganization
needed, particularly from incoasist-
ant members of the party"
Josepheus Daniels, North Carolina,
says: "The Democrats would be glad
for Cleveland to come back and undo
the wrong he committed in 1896"
Senator Money, of Mississippi,
says: "Let US end elimination and
get together on vital points,
Local Democrats are jubilant and
expect big results from the speech.

a. comedian who had been engaged

little game cf his own.
Each of the company, himself in

the pool would be taken by the per-

On his assurance that he would
take no mean advantage, but run the
same risk as the rest, all the men,
bers of the party consented, and be-
tween twenty and thirty shillings
were soon laid on the table.
The comedian added his shilling to
the pile with a cunning smile, and
then said:

gentlemen happens to have the largest

Deathlike stiffness for the space OF

SCARED remnant of the fighting Ninth
infantry into port, expressed empbat-
ic views in the matter Of the war in
the Philippines
"You can't stop the revolution in
the Philippines unless you take the
severest measures" said Major Wal
Ter, in an interview. You would
hate to see your wounded and dead
mutilated. I cannot describe the
fearful condition in which we found
some of the bodies of men under my
command who were murdered By IN
surrectionists. I received both yer,
bal and written orders from Gen.
Jacob Smith to kill all insurrecsos
who were caught armed or who re-
fused to surrender.
"It was the only thing that could
be done and I never have questioned
General Smiths orders with one ez-
eeption. This exception I refuse to
state. A fair estimate Of the number
of natives killed by the men OF my
command would be four to FIVE hun
dred. These were all killed in bsttle
with the exception Of eleven carriers,
insurrectos at heart. who were tried
by court martial and shot.
"There was only one woman shot
and she was only slightly wounded
She happened to be in the breast

ing. I have fought in every country
in the world except Australia" said
Major Waller, "but Samar-well, hel!
is winter resort compared to Samar
The major spoke huskily through
a deep cold that he had contracted
during the home voyage on the trans
port, but he was obviously sincere
His dark eyes snapped and his nos
trils twitched at the mention of the

His face relaxed. I'm in ny
6fties. Besides they've surrendered
and it's all over. It's always sll ovel
when they surrender in the Philip
pines," and sarcastic smile curved
under his military mustache.
Have you anything to say, Major
regarding your court-martial on tn
charge of executing Samar native

ssThe charge against me-" he said
s'was murder. Yes, one plain wore

to say about the court.martial, @
course I have. I objected to beiDs
