Roosevelt Asked to Withdraw
Acceptance of Invitation
to Present Sword.
tBy the Associated Press.)

Augusta, Feb. 26.-Lieutenant Cover
nor James H. Tilman, who is in this city,
says that today, in Difference to requests
by wire from subscribers to the fund for
the sword alluded to, he telegraphed as
follows to President Roosevelt:
GA short while ago 1 had the honor to
address Your Excellency a letter re-
questing that on the occasion of your
visit to Charleston you present a sword
to Major Micah Jenkins, of the First
United States Volunteer Cavalry, whose
gallant srevice you spoke of so highly,
your words being engraved on the scab-
bard. You accepted the invitation, for
which we thank you. | am now request
ed by contributors of the sword fund to
ask that you withdraw said acceptance.
tSigned) JAS. H. TILLMAN,
Lieutenant Colonel First South Carolina
Volunteer Infantry and Lieutenant
Governor of Sotuh Carolina
In explaining the sending of the tele-
gram Lieutenant Governor Tillman said:
1T is with much regret that | am di-
rected, or rather required to send this
telegram, especially in view of the fact
that / am SO closely related to one who
but few days ago was subjected to an
affront which was seemingly, or at least
the people who contributed to the pur-
chase of the sword think, unwarranted. ;"

table carried bouquets of American

that port The collector was directed to
send a statement Of the facts to tho
department and was informed that if
such orders had been given they must
be rescinded. Today the department re-

CAPTURE OF LUCBAN
Dashing Filipino Leader Who
Made the Mountains of
Samar His Home,
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Feb. 26.-Gen. Chaftee to-
day notified the War Deartment that
ieut. Stribler of the Philippine scouts,
captured Gen. Lucban on the 22nd in
stant. The prisoner is confined at
Laguan.
Another capture is recorded in the same
district, namely that of William Dun
ston, said 20 be a deserted from Com
pany C., Eighth Infantry, who had in his
possession a lot of arms and ammunition
and all of the tools necessary for the
making of ammunition. He was captured
by Second Lieut.. Pratt, First Infantry
at Caghaan, on the Island of Samar
The lieutenant also destroyed the Guar
tel and the factory and killed eleven
soldiers, besides capturing all of Dun
ston's correspondence.
The officials of the War Department
regard the capture of Lucban as the
NEST important military event since
Aguinaldo's capture. He was run down
on the Island of Samar. The place of
his confinement is tiny island in a bay
on the north coast of Samar.
Lucban is one of the most energetic
and ferocious rebels. He is half-b breed
mixture Of Chinese and Filipino stock,
and he has been an irreconcilable from
the first. He had various Businesses in
the mountains of Samar, from which he
would descend upon the coast towns and
his reign of terror was so complete that
the entire population of the island paid
tribute 20 him as the price of freedom
from attack. Ordinary campaign meth
DDS failed in his case and his capture
now is believed to be the natural working
out of the system of dividing the island
into small squares by military garrisons
and making it impossible for the insur-
gents to obtain food or shelter.
No details of the capture have been
received.
Gen. Chaffee has ordered that Lucban
be treated rs a prisoner of war of Off
GERS rank.
