A FFECTION FOR SPA IN. Quotes the Monroe Doctrine in Referring to America and her Course in the Philippines. Manilla, .July 12, 7:2.") p. in.? A copy of the Independencia has reached Manilla containing the speech which Aguinaldn made during the recent celebration at Tarlac, of the anniversary of the proclamation of Filipino independence. In substance it is as follows : "Filipino, beloved daughter of the ardent sum of the Tropics, commended by providence to the care of noble Spain, bo not ungrateful to her salute who warmed you with the breath of her own culture and civilization. "It is true she sought to crush thy aspirution for independence, as a loving mother opposes separation forever from the daughter of her bosom. This but proves the excess of affection and love Spain feels for thee, Filipina i Delicate flower of the cast, scarcely eight months weaned from the breast of thy mother, thou hast dared to brave a great and powerful nation such as is the United States, after barely organizing and disciplining thy little army. Yet we reply, we will be slaves to nc no, nor allow ourselves to be deceived by soft words. lx?t us continue to defend our fatherland until independence is assured, for this is justice We shall see at least that tho great American ua^ tion will acknowledge the right which is on our side. That doe iriuo 01 inc great .Monroe, that America is for Americans is not forgotten, .lust so wo affirm that tlio Philippines are for the Filipinos. Some States of tho American union have arisen in our favor. "Especially is tho Democratic party convinced that hoth victors and vanquished will lose precious live?. Thus many of the people and many statesmen censure Pros ident Mclvinley as inhuman for having ordered his military representatives at Mani'a to seek means to bring about hostilities. With tho Filipinos these facts prove that they wished to try us to see if we are able to live up to tho second color of our banner, red, which signities courage, heroism and martyrdom. Therefore, we should not resent this stru??irle with tho Americans. In spite of their expressed desire to dominate all tho Philippines, well convinced are they that wo will tight with justice and right on our side and that autonomy is all a show of deceit, on y serving to save certain accumulated wealth. We have never concealed our aspirations, that we aspire hut to independence, that we will struggle on to obtuin it, perhaps from those who are now our enemies and to morrow will ho our allies as thoy were for the overthrow of the power of Spain. We might well accept this autonomy America offers, but what can we do with it if our ambition is independence and if we are tr> accept it only to later overthrow by force of arms the sovereignty of America? As I believe it is tho intention of the autonomists to make use of treachery and deceit, we cannot accept such a procedure. We do not wish to he traitors afterward. We wish ....1 vimi iivm i, our TranK- j , ncss ami sincerity and nothing j more. Let us avoid the example of those natives who having at j one time heen colonists, accepted . autonomy to cnahlo them to make their work surer, once every t'-.injr j j was prepared. History has ?;iven us an example of tiiis in recent ] events. Let us persist in our idea! ' which is the only and legitimate and nohle aspiration <>f a people which is desirous at all cost to j preserve its national honor spotless and as pure asacrystal. Thus then, there will not he a single i j Filipino autonomist Those who are so are in tlie eyes of the poo- j , pie birt time servers, fearful of ^ losing their riches, threatened hy , 1 risks of war. ( ''Filipinos, let u> he constant i Let us strengthen the bonds of / I our union !" Aguinnldo concluded with exiling for cheers for independence, ^ 'the union of the Filipinos and for;. ' the liberating aruiv. I WHEELER OFF FOR MANILA 1 i He Expects to Suh for (ienerals ^ Lawton and MacArlhur?Still / Ilohls His (irip on I lis Chair in Congress. Washington, July 1 2.?

I lie Kendal diamond robbery , ias almost been forgotten. But I f there be any truth in an article n the Charlotte Observer from ts (ircensboro corrrspondent, ! hen there may soon ho an arrest >f a suspected burglar. Following is the story in The1 Hwervcr: have been tol?l an ineom-j ?let*'<l story. Wee it not for J In1; fact that it is in tlio mouths of liany now, with tho likelihood of incoming puhiie property tornor ow, 1 wouid shrink from its pubication. For this story htisovernueli in it of the elements of pri ,ato sorrow :it)il personal ill-'oruno that should with discre'ion >o concealed from tho world's in (pection. "Just one month a^o James L'umphcll of Columbia, S. (J,, nine to (ireenshoro to t^Uo tho Ivcelcy treatment, lie had taken the <x*?ld cure once before at Colunhia. Not a great deal was Known of him here, though his conversation and occasional ramus stamped him as an unsavory character. Thoso who tulkod .villi Campbell, and who aro my nformants in this matter, say hat he appeared to he perfectly amiliar with all recent happenug in Columhia, and he frequenty spoke of a burglary in that city, lating hack a good many weeks, i n which the wife of a Dr. Ken*I lull was chloroformed and robbed >f <ion worth of diamonds, 'iimphcll's theory was that the nemhers of the lady's family could easily explain the burglary f tlicy liked. "Ilis hot friend in Columbia, j mid Camphell, was a man named , jat isscy, whom he has not known or long, Hut with whom he was io familiar that Larissey used iftentimos to comedo his bedroom u the mornings and wako him up. Jnc day?three ' weeks ago Larissey wrote that he, too, needid the Keeley cure for both whisicy and morphine. Campbell at >nce wrote to him, urging that he ionic to the institute in Greens inro. Larissey came, registered is a patient, and was generally >it iod for his evident mental and jhysical distress. <?Ilo was a consummate actor, vas Larissey. His drunkenness vas a pretense, and it was all a lei union when he made his limbs witch as the sign manual of a norphine liend. Under it all he vas the cool, sober detective, who vas every minute shadowing Jampbell for evidence of his rob-* ?ery of Mrs. Kendall. It is said hat ho played' on Campbell day ind night. Pretending drunkenloss, Larissey would go to Campjell's room and throw himself icross the bed in slumber. When Jampbell would leave Larissey vould ho on his feet in an instant ind would go through his valise ind search his room. Always he teemed to try to catch Campbell )IT his guard in conversation or to nako him reckless in confidence. | Sometimes, not understanding j what this meant. Campbell would get uneasy, restive, hut invariably i he dismissed the matter by saying that le believed that Larissev's condition had driven him mad. Dul the authorities at Kceley , institute and the police knew La [ risscy's game. The former hypoderniieally pumped water into his! arm to ward off suspicion; the latter held themselves in readiness; to make the arrest when it should be necessary. To the chief of police Irarissey said that he was aj Pinkerton detective, and to him ' he stated, a week ago, that he had made a case against Campbell. "What evidence Larissey oh- j turned against Campbell no one knows, for Larissey kept his own counsel. Side by side the two, friends finished their treatment and left the Keeley institute this morning for Columbia, Campbell ..ii an unsuspecting, und ijJirissoy sitting beside him in a friendly ( manner, with a warrant in his pocket for Campbell's arrest us. soon as the South Carolina line is crossed. All this is in keeping with Larissey's artistic idea of finesse. "This is all. Unvarnished, 1 give the story as it has come to me. Certainly there is in it a grim, uncanny novelty." TRANSPORTS ARRLVK. The First Bat<h of Returning Voluuteers from Manila Reach San Fruncisco. San Francisco, July 1*2.?The United States transports Newport and Ohio, hearing the volunteer regiments from the Philippines, arrived here tonight The vessels were sighted this afternoon, and soon the shrieking whistles, the clanging of hells, the tiring of cannon announced that the tirst hatch of returning volunteers1 from Manila were nearing the shores of California. Wiihin u few minutes the streets were thronged with people wending their way to the docks. Scores of vessels hearing State, municipal and Federal officials, (Jov. (leer and stall, of Oregon, and hundreds of others, mat the incoming trans* port. As the transports slowly steamed up the harhor, the soldiers gathered in excited groups on the deek and some climbed into the rigging, where they shouted and cheered like mad. The transports were hoarded by quarantine officers. It is doubtful whether the Orecrnn vr?lnnr???ra will be allowed to land in San Francisco l>eforo jroin<* to their homes.

TIIH FOURTH IN THK DARK CORNER. A Regular San Juan Hill Affair With a Church for a Blockhouse. Several Wounded. Special to The State. Greenville, .1 ulv 11. ?The Dark Corner neighborhood was rather dilatory in celebrating the 4th of! July, hut when the inhabitants of that vicinity decided to commentorate the birthday of freedom and independence, the fusilade was worthy of Bunker Hill and Cowpens. Tradition in the Dark Corner does not allow any gossip in regard to neighborhood affairs, and more especially is it prohibit* ed and disallowed that there shall ??n \r nrirofn mol *** 1 ..... ,bum blxi r t iiiiurr- | standing with a revenue oflieer, | who is persona non grata or words i to that effect, with the mountaineers, who look upon the distillation of coi n juice as one of their inalienable rights. It came to i pass that one ltuflis Lindsay was j accused of reporting some of his neighbors to the ''revenues," j wherein he alleged that they were taking advantage of the moonlight nights to make a .decoction that exhilarates and ineln ates, and is much sought after by mankind. Friday eight the initiative was taken in preparing for a general jubilation which followed the next j day. In a friendly fashion some | of liufus Lindsay's ncighbors went to call upon him at a rather late hour, when the domicile was closed and ho was wrapped in | slumber and by way of making known their presence the callers j tired into the house, the bullets answering the purpose of visiting I cards, which were readily recogI . . * ' nized by Lindsay, but for prudential reasons lie did no* open the doors and invite his visitors to enjoy a belated hospitality. "This failure on his part incensed the party very much, and by way of revenge they cut down three acres of corn near the house, which would lessen the product to that extent if Lindsay should take a notion to become a moonshiner himself. i Saturday was a gala day for the Dark Corner, and there was a festive baseball game scheduled to come oil iu the afternoon, <piito near to Dickey's chapel and only a short distance from Highland postollice. Lindsay and his two , brothers, Tom and Alfred, thought it a favorable time to as! ~ ii~~ o vv> IUM1 mill >ti-|U HIV CJlllVl'iS till' i night before, and accordingly i they went to the baseball ground, ! which is on the opposite side of i the road froiu the old chapel. The Lindsays promptly introjduced the subject that was upperI most in their minds, and were evidently not willing to leave it I to the umpire, for they began to accuse one after another, charging that thev were participants in the shooting and corn harvesting at llufus Lindsay's. This was indignantly denied, of course, and the Lindsays wore roundly berated for interfering with the ball game, which caused them to introduce quite a variety of balls for the entertainment of the crowd, which included about a hundred i>eople. In other words, the Lindsays began to shoot and were entirely promiscuous in their tiring, and this quickly arrayed another firing line to meet the oni slaught of an active foe. Pistols and guns arc always han<ly in {lie Dark Corner, and the men who were attacked lost no time in returning the repeated volleys from the Lindsays, who knew just what to expect when the attack made. The tiring w is fast and furious, and the Lindsays took shelter behind the trees near the church, but continued to pour hot shot into the advancing column, which was making steady progress up the hill like the Hough liiders at San .Juan. Finally, when Lindsay contingent had each man received a wound, they bc_ati a retreat to the rear of the church, where a buggy and a mule awaited their coming, and they commenced in gel away from the infuriated crowd, which included the lie--tors, the Howards, the McKinneys, the Bartons, a Harris* ati 1 a Bruce. The fight of the Lindsays was the signal for renewed effort of the basehalhsts, who determined to capture their assailants, hut it was not until the buggy broke O ?7 down that the battle was drawn to a close, and the Lindsays took to the woods fo?- safety and to bind up their wounds. The chase had lasted for half a mile, and when the buggy became a forfeit to the victors they were not long 111 completing its destruction bv setting it afire and flinging brush ~ O around it to make sure of its total demolition. It is estimated that several (hundred shots were fired in a few minutes, and that a dozen or more i of the baseball crowd were wounded, but none of the wounds are serious. The smoke was so densn that ilie men could hardly see how to shoot, and the skirmish was brisk and active while it lasted. Our informant was a mile away fiom the battleground, and says the shooting was rapid and continuous. lie felt sure it was the sequence to the disturbance at Rufe Lindsay's, of which he learned the particulars io he morning. It is expected that the battle will be renewed, as these revenue feuds seldom end without a killing on sight or a mystcrioushooting in the dark. A .1 II. An Increase of Spindles.
