Remnant of the Rebel Forces in the Philippines. Lieut. Frank Arthur Barton of the 3d United States Cavalry has written to a friend in this city from Namacacan, Luzon, P. L, an account of his experiences in the armed conflict with the Tagals, from which the following is an extract: “The campaign we have been through has been well nigh an utter impossibility. First we were on an almost constant march from the start and in such mud and rain as you cannot possibly imagine. All our worldly goods we had with us were dumped in the Rio Grande, and, of course, such things as paper, envelopes and maps were ruined. In my saddle bag I carried a field note book and it was nice and dry until my horse got to swimming and the saddle bags got full of water. The paper on which this letter 1s written was furnisned by the Catholic Church and the ink was captured from insurgent sto’ while the envelope is home made, stuck together with fiour paste. All mail addressed to soldiers in the Philippines should be addressed to Ma- nila, as that is the only mail port. “At last, so far as we know, all organized insurrection is at an end, and we are rest- ing and garrisoning the towns to insure peace. In the mountains there are bands of robbers, and they are of two classes. One is afraid to come in, expecting the Spanish treatment of death or transporta- tion, and the other class consists of cu throats. The first cl will ‘eventuall come in peacefully, but the second class may need argument in the shape of gun- powder and bullets. Small patrols of twelve men each ride everywhere and are not_molested. “There is a band of barefooted Filipinos which plays ‘Il Trovatore.’ and plays well, too. They are able to play in the dark without a light and without a piece of music. It sounds like a fai tale, but I heard such a concert last Sunday’ night. Here is a race of people, cleanly of person in the extreme, industrious and honest among themselves to an extent that would shame many American communiti ‘A battalion of the id Infantry went to Cayan, up In the mountains, and had a fight, killing Gen. Pilar. . Their rations were packed by a train of igouts, who re- ceived pay to the cxtent of ‘im peseta’ a day, and a peseta is a Spanish silver 20- cent piece, equal to 10 cents in eur money You can see how far money will go in this country when thirteen tine cigars may be bought for 5 cents of American’ We are not troubled with money, however, we have not been able to draw a cent since we arrived here. “Only two members of our regiment have been killed so far, and all wounded, so far as I know, have recovered, What we want now is to come home. The new volunteers and two or three native regiments could keep peace by being scattered in garrisons here and there. These people are tired of war.’ HAGERSTOWN NEWS GRIST. Reading Railroad Engineers Survey- ing for a Branch Line. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star, HAGERSTOWN, Md., March 1, 1900, It is rumored here that the Reading Rail- road Company may build a bridge across the Potomac river at Williamsport and ex- tend a line across Berkeley county to con- nect with the Baltimore and Ohio at North Mountain. Another story is that the road will connect with the canal at Williams- port. The genera! impression is, however, that the road, if built, will go to Cherry Run and not to Williamsport. Surveyors are in the field going over the various routes, The regular spring exodus of those in search of new homes in the west has al- ready set in. Every week large delegations take their departure from the Baltimore and Ohio depot in Hagerstown. Among the last lot were some twenty families besides many young men, who go to seek employ- ment as farm hands. The destination of those who have already taken their de- parture is Illinois, Indiana and Iowa. E. W. McC. Cost, deputy sheriff of this county, has resigned and gone to Washing- ton to become a member of the Capitol police force. Workmen are now engaged in putting in repair the Chesapeake and Ohio canal for the coming season. Inspection shows the dams and locks to be in good condition. Cherry Run, this county, which is the junction of the Baltimore and Ohio and Western Maryland railroads and also of the Philadelphia and Reading, by way of the latter tracks from Shippensburg, Pa., is to have a week'y paper, to be Known as the Times, with J. 8. Manford as pub- lisher. Gov. Smith has appointed C, E. Smith, democrat, election supervisor for Hagers- town, in the place of Wm. E. Hoffman, re- signed, Miss Blanch T. Thomas of Hancock, this county, has been appointed teacher in the Navajo Indian school at Fort Defiance, Ariz. The principal of the school and also the superintendent, Prof. C. H. Lamar and Mrs. Lamar, are also natives of this county. In Amberson valley, in the adjoining county of Franklin, Pa., farmers are ex- ercised over the appearance of what is supposed to be anthrax, or black leg, among their catt!e. An investigation will be made by the state veterinarians, Gov. Smith has appointed the following assistant registers of voters for Hagers- town: D. B. Meyers, D. M. Brewer, W. A. Newman, Harry J. Bresler and Wm. H. White. They are all democrats. i C. M. Horst has been appointed post- master at’ Maugansville, this county, vice M. Garver, resigned. ais ——— ee HYATTSVILLE AND VICINITY.

Mr. N. B. Marshall, a lawyer and justice of the peace of Boston, who was educated at the colored public schools of the District and afterward graduated at Harvard, has written a letter to Senator Stewart of Ne- vada in which he says: “Since the law governing the classifica- tion of the schools of the District of Co- lumbia prescribes that ‘there shall be sep- arate white and colored schools,’ there are really only two reasons which might jus- tify the wiping out of the office of super- intendent of colored schools, and merging the same into an office of one white super- intendent. First, it must be established that the office is unnecessary; second, that the highest interests of the colored people of the District of Columbia demand it, In fact, these two propositions shade one into the other, and might be considered collec- tivel “In_no other city of this country can you find a separate colored school system under the direction of a colored superinten- dent. and in no other city of this country can you find separate colored schools as well organized and as efficiently managed and instructed as are the colored schools of the city of Washington, D. C. They are the most eminent examples of their kind in the whole United States of the capacity of the negro citizens for executive administra- tion. No wonder, then, that the colored peo- ple of the District of Columbia are proud of and derive an immense inspiration from what they justifiably regard as the product of their labor and zeal for the past thirty-two years. Abolish this system and you strike a death blow to the pride, incentive and esprit du corps of the colored citizens of Washington. It is the highest function of government to engender and promote these qualities of citizenship; and any legislation which retards and stifles these civic emo- tions is not only reactionary but dangerous The present system, then, is far from being unnecessary. Do the educational and ma- terial interests of the colored people of this city demand a change in the system? After thirty-two years of loyal devotion to duty, indefatigable zeal and a service of unim- peachable honesty on the part of Superin- tendent George F. T. Cook, it is suggested that there is something wrong in this s tem of colored schools, and something so inherently good in the white system that the dictates of duty and conscience demand hat the colored children be no longer kept away from these rights and advantages. “Beware of the Greeks bearing gifts!’ Comparison of the Classe: “Since systems are estimated by their results, it ts necessary to resort to @ com- parison of the results of the two classes of schools in this city. And this method be- comes impossible when the pupil ceases his or her relation to the schools and becomes a ‘product,’ because the social conditions in the community and in the nation keep the two races apart. The only fair test, then, is the work done in the school room. and { challenge contradiction when I say that the methods of instructiog and the re- sults produced in the colored schools of the District of Columbia are at least equal to the standard of the white schools. While it is not strictly within the prov- ince of the public schools to fit students for college, that system which encourages the desire for the higher education and lays a foundet{on upon which such education can rest must commend itself to our un- qualified approbation. Here again the col- ored schools of this city have not been backward. Whether due to the system or to the man who has so long been its head. the fact remains t the District of colored Young men and women to our fore- most colleges and unive; 'S, such as Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Dartmouth, Am- herst, Oberlin, Columbian University, Cath- ic University and Exeter Academy, than colored schools of any other city in the United States, and from personal knowl- edge I can say that these students have actually outstripped their white fellow stu- dents who have,come out from the white schools of this clty, Superintendent Cook's Policy. “In conclusion, I will say that the system In the colored schools is certain and deter- mined. Superintendent G. F. T. Cook; with his characteristic tact, discretion and high- souled devotion to duty, has always adopt- ed and followed the course of instruction laid down by the trustees, whose duty {t is to map out gthe course, and has never wrought confusion or created an impos ble state of affairs by using the schools hological laboratories for the testing of own tentative methods and _ theories. Upon what grounds, then, should the excel- leney of these coldred schools be jeopar- dized by a change which absolutely lacks justification? Since reason and justice fail to lend their support to this proposed aboli- tion of the office of superintendent of col- ored schools of the District of Columbia, I profoundly trust that your committee, mor- ally pledged as it is to promote the highest interests of the citizens of this District, will not be influenced by that local and na. tional spirit of greed and barbarous preju- dice which seeks to strip from the negro his few remaining vestments of public rights.” ate EMANCIPATION DAY. Au East Washington Club Makes Ar- rangements Therefor. There was a largely attended meeting of the East Washington Star Pioneer Club at the club's rooms, 1540 B street northeast, Wednesday night. The meeting was called to order by President Nelson at 7:30. John Lucas acted as secretary. The arrange- ments for Emancipation day were disc ed at length and the new uniform, in which the members of the club will parade April 16, was agreed on and ordered. This club had the misfortune to lose all of its para- phernalla except its swords and axes by fire last year. The organization consists of about sixty drilled members and a drum corps. It was ordered that the drilling of the members be regularly carried on till the day of parade, and that the drum corps practice regularly. Many other pre- liminary arrangements were discussed. At 8:45 p.m. James W. Poe, who is pres- ident of the genera! organization, entered the room and was announced by Capt. Watkins. President Nelson then ordered a suspension of business and introduced Mr. Poe, who addressed the meeting. After going over the general arrangements for the celebration and complimenting the ciub on its splendid arrangements and organiza tion he spoke in high terms of President McKinley's administration, and, referring to the coming election of delegates in this elty. he said National Committeeman Par- ker should be sustained and that his past work merited his re-election. He was ten- dered a vote of thanks for his speech. Following are the officers of the club: John Nelson, president; Samuel Bell, vice president; John Lucas and J. Augustus Poe, secretaries; John W. Elwood, treas- urer; Wesley Bryan, sergeant-at-arms; Benjamin Watkins, captain; Thomas Robb, first lieutenant, and George Lee, first ser- geant. President Poe advised the club to have a large crayon portrait of President McKin- ley made to carry in its line on April 16. The suggestion was loudly cheered and unanimously agreed on. ——— - REPUBLICAN MEETINGS. Interest in the Approaching Primary Election Growing.

A number of fmprovements have been made and others are contemplated in what is known as the Spanish-American war section of Arlington national cemetery. The place selected for the section is in the southern portion of the cemetery, near the south wall. There are no trees there. It is an immense level space, which is fast being filled up with small, white b boards, each one marking the last 1 place of some soldier. Near by is a sepa- rate plot, in which the bodies of the sur- vivors of the ill-fated battle ship Maine have been interred. The gr are marked by wooden headboards, but soon.these will be replaced by marble stones of a uniform size. Near the Maine plot it is contemplated to erect a monument in memory of the dead seamen and marines. Another monument will also be erected in the plot set aside for the soldiers who lost their lives on Cuban soil. The monuments will be work of art, and will soon be in process of ce struction, the plans for the same having been practically accepted. On the brow of the hill Potomac four guns have been placed, tro- phies of the war with Spain. Two of the guns are of large size, equal to the Ameri- can navy @-inch gun. One of these guns was taken from the Viscaya, while the other came from the Maria Teresa. Two smaller guns, taken from the defenses of Santiago, are on either side. All of the guns are mounted on an ornamental capped brick pedestal, standing perhaps three feet from the ground; The general plan for the improvement and beautifying of this portion of the cemetery is under thé direction of Colonel True. It is proposed to remodel the grounds and make of them a beautiful Jandscape scene. eS PROMINENT BROKERS rlooking the = ARRESTED. Members of Chicago Board of Trade Charged With Swindling.
