POPULAR WITH | THE VETERANS | Greets Miss Willlams and Her Par- Doings of ‘“Rookies” Do Not Jibe With Ideas of Men Who | Fought at Manila. | Manager Schloat of the Red Cross Has Also Succeeded in Getting Himself Disliked by the Californians. BY SOL N. | 1 \ SHERIDAN, Spectal Correspondence of The Call. MANILA, Sept. 21.—The “rookies” have come. The rookles, it should be understood, is a term of good-natured contempt applied by the battie-scarred veterans of the Manila campaign to those lade who came out with the third—or was it the fourth?—expedition. One loses count of expeditions and time and what not In this enervating cli- mate. At all events the rookies came out to flll up the ranks of the several companies of the First California Regi- ment to their full complement as pro- wise men at Washington. Now t California Is a regi- ment that is a regiment. It went down into the trenches and saved the Tenth Pennsy!vania from utter annihilation on the night of the 31st of July, when the Mauser bullets were singing through the air like a mighty swarm of bees, and when the shell and shrap- nel were cracking the atimosphere and jetting the heavens down upon it in a rain of fire. It carried its flag up to the gray, grim walls of Old Manila through hidden lines of Spanish soldiers when the life of no man was worth a moment’s cousideration. It is submitted that a regiment with this kind of a record cannot be ex- pected to submit to the consequential airs of a set of young fellows whose brass buttoms have never heen touched with the rus¢ that¢ comes from long nights in the trenches and whose fa- tigge uniform is guiltless of stain other than comes from a stint at kitchen de- tall. The rooky should be a good fel- low—and, as a rule, he is. He comes from California. He was a great fel- low also when he marched down Mar- Ret street and the men cheered him and the women wept over him and the lit- tle children waved the giorious flag of America above his head. But he must not put on airs in the presence of men who have heard the music of battle lest he be brought down to his proper level with the buckie end of a beit. The guardhouse has no particular terrors for soldiers who have faced death—and, anyway, the rooky who Is disciplined and tells would better apply for his discharge st once. He Is foredoomed to | the other evening, permitted the colonel | | as many years of hell as his company | sees service. Albeit he is a good fellow, the rooky ! has his pecullaritles. One of these, naturally enough, is that he does not | always know his commanding officer. | Sometimes he does not even know his | company officers. They did not keep | watch with him. nor share hard tack | and coffee and quinine with him in the | trenches. Those were the old boys. A | case in point is that of the rooky who, being on sentry duty at the palace gate and the lieutenant colonel of the regi- | ment to pass him without challenge or salute before it occurred to him that | possibly he was not placed there alto- | gether for the purpose of sitting upon a’| cane-bottomed stool to find out whether he could prevent a Springfield rifle | going to sleep. Then, when they had | passed him about ten feet, he shook | himself together, rose slowly, shoul | dered his gun and observed, as it were, cagually: “Say, do yuse fellows belong s | i Smith. | | es, sir,” replied Colon ““We belong here.” et “All right, then. What time s 1t?"" The colonel cheerfully gava the re- quired Informatfon and was then per- mitted to seek repose in his own quar- ters. Of different metal was the rooky who saw his colonel pass him in day- | light, knowing him, and commented trenchantly upon the officer’s personal appearance. Colonel Smith is a soldier, a working soldler, every Inch of him, and in war time dresses the part. It is not exactly a dress parade costume, either, although perfectly adapted to the needs of a man who, as provost marshal, rides over a wide district un- der the rays of the tropic sun. Not the | least consplcuous part, in fact, the only conspicuous part of the costume, is a wide straw hat of native manufacture and shape, which forms the best sun- shade I have found in this country. The hat caught the rooky at the gate, and he sald to me, sotto voce, as he saluted the colonel In passing: “Say, would yu get onto de old man’s bonnet?"” One more rooky story, a good one, on the chaplain or upon a certaln name- less newspaper correspondent, who is very dark and who goes clean shaven, as you choose. The correspondent, at all events, lives at headquarters, and | poor fellow | whose | damagin, Aok all the natives, most of the Spaniards in Manila and at least half the recruits, judging by the absence of beard, the dark complexion and a certain gravity of demeanor, think he is a priest—or, &t any rate, that he should be. The other day this correspondent indulged a cer- tain barbaric fancy for a green silk shirt, and was asked as a favor to the headquarters mess to walk out in the sun and see what effect the light would have upon the fabric, The correspond- ent was happy to oblige. He walked down to the palace gate, the admired of all, and then walked back again, and as he came back the sentry, a ky, turning to a vagrant veteran loitering there, observed: “Hully gee! That's a g0rgeous new vestment they've got in the church.” To leave the rooky to his devices | and the pleasant amenities of garrison life with the war seasoned vets, there | is growing up a pretty scandal down here which will give one Mr. Schlott, manager for the Red Cross, some dis- | ;’ C 't when he goes back to San | sco to give an accofint of his rdship. Mr. Schlott, from the t himself up in opposition to the surgeons of the whole Eighth Army Corps, and because, so the surgeons say, they would not permi: him to run the hospital in his own way, has de- clined to do anything at all. He has| been here about two months, at .| events, with his corps of ants, and in all that time has done nothing. It is only within the las few days any of the thousands of dollars worth of Red Cross supplies he brought out with | him have begun to be doled out to the sick of the First California Regiment. As it was supposed these supplies were | given for the Callfornia boys by the people of California this matter has caused no end of adverse criticism. Mr. Schlott tried to establish a Red Cross Hospital in the walled city, get- ting an r from General Merritt to | turn a lot of refugee priests from the provinces into the streets for that pur- pose. neral Merritt, by the way, gave anything to anybody who asked while he was here. He only wanted to get away. Once his orders to leave came he did not seem to care what t to plague his suc- innon stralghtened atter for General complications he le cessor. Father Mc out this particular Ctis. the priests were not turned out into the street and Mr. Schlott did not get his hospital—for which, by the way, there was no particular need. The ac- commodations at the general hospital are ample and of the best. Mr. Schlott took such small satisfaction, neverthe- less, as could be had from making re- sness marks In public about “the officic of that damned Catholic chaplain”—re- marks that did not make him popular with the boys of the Fi who love the good father and hav ason to. Mr. Schlott did not a with the Red C nurs alre on the| ground, Messrs. Waage and Lewis. who have done and are continuing to do_the most noble work.

Spectal cable to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyrighted, 159, by James Gor- don Bennett. LIVERPOOT, 2 Oct. —General Mer- ritt was looking very well indeed on the Cunard line pler at 7 o'clock this morning when the Campania dis charged her p:ssengers. presence on the wharf at Liverpool at that early hour was due to the fact that the _ampania had on board Miss Laura Williams, who will shortly be married to General Merritt. With Miss Williams were Mrs. Norman Williams and Norman Williams. General Merritt was one of the first visitors on board the Campania after the gangway had been secured. He re- turned to the wharf after a short time and completed the arrangements he | had made for the accommodation of his party on a special train to London, for which point he left as soon as the cus- toms of.cers had completed the ex- amination of the luggage of the Cam- | pania’s passengers. The Campania arrived at Liverpool just after midnir .t this morning, but most of the passengers, including Miss | ‘Williams, remained aboard all night.

Aguinaldo left his residence at Ba- koor on the 9th of ‘eptember to con- vene the elective assembly of the Phil- ippine republic at Malolos, a town of some 20,000 inhabitants and about thirty-five miles inland from Manila. | The members of this assembly were regularly elected throughout the va- | rfous provinces of the island, according to the relative population of the prov- inees—three from Manila and the other large provinces down to one from the { smallest. The whole of the island of Luzon is | now being governed by the Insurgents except the provinces of Manila and Cavite, which are occupied by the American troops. The last Span gar- risons, at Locos and Laguna, surren- dered to the insurgents on September 5. When Interviewed by the Associated Press representative on September 11 Aguinaldo stated that his army con- sists of 37,000 insurgents armed and equipped with weapons, and that he had some 8000 prisoners of war at this time, includ- ing the larger portion now being held in the vicinity of Manila. When asked directly what was his policy for his people—If it was uncon- ditional independence—he politely asked to be excused from answering the question at this time. Continuing, he asked the Interviewer what America intended doing. “We have been fight- | ing for our independence,” he said, “for | a long time. y nation of Burope | would gladly take these islands had | they the opportunity, becau | richness and undeveloped resources.’” i He stated that he was opposed to any | Buropean nation taking possession of | declined to talk on the America retaining or an- island of Luzon.

He dgclined to answer and further could not be in- duced to express his personal opinion of what his actions would be in such event. He declined to say whether or not he would sanction the United States retaining a coaling station in the Phil- ippines even should America recognize the independence of the islands or es- | tablish & temporary or permanent pro- tectorate over them. He avolded answering many ques- tions put to him, personal views by s ture policy of the Philippine Islands re mained to be decided by the assembly. He expressed himself as entertaining | the greatest friendship can people, adding that he hoped there would be no trouble between the public of the Philippines and the re- public of America. He entertained the idea that America and the Philippines were two sister republics, allled to- gether and fighting a common enemy— the Spaniards. He thought that the American mis- sion here in these islands had been ac- complished by the destruction of the | Spanish fleet and the forcible surrender of the city of Manila and expected that the Americans would soon withdraw | thetr forces, leaving the Insurgents to govern and control the Islands. He made mention that his under- standing was that this war between Spain and America was a war of hu- | manity on the part of the Americans and not of conquest, and Americans Wwould not retain any of the possessions cquired during the war. 5 Xgulnaldo complained that the Span- jards had been disseminating false re- ports relative to the moverments and in- ¢ the insurgents for* the pur- tentions o pose of antagonizing the Americans against the Filipinos and their cause and to precipitate hostilities between them if possible. have been disarming Americans pass- | ing through thelr lines, but Aguinaldo disclaims having authorized any such conduct on the part of his men. His September 9, when the Pennsylvania regiment proceeded to establish a new outpost some distance beyond the for- mer post, within the lines of the insur- gents, and an insurgent company ob- jected to it being done. The captain of the company nearly precipitated hostil- ities by ordering the Americans to with- draw within twenty minutes, and ls- sued ammunition to his men to Intimi- date the American officers to obey his order to withdraw, and further, by re- fusing to allow the reinforcement which had been sent for to reach the outpost. ‘Aguinaldo was very emphatic, stat- ing that the Filipino who thus at- tempted to obstruct the movements of the Americans was only a pretended of- ficer of the insurgent army, and was, in fact, entirely unconnected therewith. The local governor and military com- mander, Plo Barican, explained to Ma- jor General Hale, who had ordered out the whole Pennsylvania regiment, upon being informed of thig action of the in- surgents, that the insurgent captain had exceeded his authority in ordering the Americans to withdraw, and stat- g\g that he had misapprehended his or- ers. 1t is generally reported about Manila that many Insurgents are not in sym- pathy with Aguinaldo and do not In- clude themselves among his followers.

The first thing that was de- cided was that the Philippine republic should not countenance | any policy that should be agreed upon whereby Spain would have any- thing further to do with the islands, and would resist by force of arms A vote was taken on the policy of annexation to the American re- | public, and annexation was decided upon by a large majority, some seven | out of eight voting in favor of annexation. | Aguinaldo now expresses himself as personally in favor of annex- ation, adding that he does not think that the natives generally will | | regularly | modern | expressing his own | aying that the fu- | for the Ameri- | and Admiral Dewey to remove his troops to a prescribed distance beyond the fixed city limits of Manila and Ca- vite, and further declined to state Contrasted With the Ghoulish Germ.

When the statement was made on the floor of the Assembly on Saturday morning that Aguinaldo’s cook had seen a Spanish prisoner place something in the soup and after tasting the latter had died in horrible agony within a few hours of his detection of the outrage, but that Aguinaldo had been warned in time, the delegates rose en masse and mingled their cries of de- | Jight at Aguinaldo’'s providential es- cape with groans of denunciation for the perpetrators of the crime. The bus- | of the convention was immedi- | suspended and the delegates in a | marched to Aguinaldo’s house for body the purpose of congratulating him.

You've cracked a hazel nut some time and found in it nothing but dust and a littie white worm. The meat of the nut is all eaten up. The malaria germ eats out the vital principle of the corpuscles in just that way. The result is collapse. The thought of a rattle- snake frightens us.
