IP I J> I 'A w ] OK pf I \ ^cr u October 13?tf ^ ( : I today which shortly after noon gave way to the Winnie Davis memoiial exercises at the conclusion of which an adjournment until 10 o'clock tomorrow was taken. The announcement that Gen. Joe Wheeler was to speak filled the auditorium and the hero of two wars was given a rousiDg reception by the immense audience. The delegates and visitors devoted the afternoon to excursions to nearby resoits, tiips down the bay and social functions, and tonight a concert was given at the auditorium where a superb choir and orchertra rendered a programme of southern war songs Perfect weather conditions con tinue and the reunion is pronounced one of the most ei j >yable and successful of its eight predecessors. Iu spite of the crowd there have been no disorders or accidents and the police arrangements are in keeping with other preparations made by the city for the reception and entertainment of tLe veterans. After same further general buei ness the feature of today's session took place. It was Gjq. Wheeler's address and the scene that attended his introduction was one of frantic enthusiasm. Advancing to the front of the platform Gen. Gordon held up bis hand end absolute silence fell upon the vast audience as he said: i Comrades, I have a real treat for you. If I should tell this convention there is here the hero cf Santiago?" Gen GordoD could get do further. A wild burst of applause thundered forth, rebel yells split the air and hats, canes and handkerchiefs were waved as the great audience rose to its feet. Finally, securing quiet, Gen. Gjrdon spoke of Gen. Wheeler as "the man who at Santiago held to the front place the army and fhg of America." Again the applause thundered out and n?ing the assemblage continued cheering until the scene was one of the wildest that has ever marked a reunion. ProccdingGen. Gordon described Wheeler as one cf "the wiliest wizards of the Confederacy" and then repeated apocryphal story of the famous little cavalryman when at Santiago he excVmed as the Spanish lines brcke ' 'Forward boys, the Yankees are running," and again the applause broke out. The audience rose as Gen. Whec-ler stepped forward, apparently much affected. He wore a black Prince Albeit suit with badges on each lapel of his coat. One was yellow by chance and the other was red. He spoke deliberately, calmly and clearly, the audience giving him close attention. His referance to the geneial sorrow caused by the death cf Win^ nie Davis effected many to tears. f Gen. Whe^?' sai-d in part: "The history of our country, when compared with that cf all the eras that have preceded us, shows that our civilizilioD has produced the highest class of men and the noblest type of soldiers. The very idea cf liberty Derves the soul and fires the heart. Defeat but exasperate?, add ing desperation to vigor and energy to determined resolve. "It was the teaching of fathers and mothers who fltd from the oppression of caste and class, braved the i i unfaithomed ocean and landed upon j these shores, confronted by wild I beasts and savage Iudian that the i highest honor and greatest privilege j was to fight for country, its safety I and its honor. "If the people of the north excel in some qualities, it is also true that those of the south excel in others. It has been said that tenacity of pur- j pose, thrift and perseverance pre- j dominated in the noitbern character. This may probably be so, but it is also true that other characteristics are s, more noticeable among the people cf ^ the south. Gen. Wheeler declared that the j military history of the southern peo- I * pie had been a prominent feature in l history from the first settlement of i "this country Ke cited Washington | ^and the other southern commanders j of the revolution, Windfieid Scott j and Andre* Jackson and the other j heroes of the war with Mexico, and i ihon nflssirrf to the war between the ! v. r r, -States he said: j "The battle-scarred veterans, who duriDg four years of bloody warfare j dazzled the world with the splendor of their heroism are fast passing away.

"In the greatest battles of the civil war you contended with men of endurance, fortitude and courage, men with the same birthright of freedom, imbued with the same spirit of liberty, men who were as comcientiouely contending for what they deemed the right of the Federal government, as you for what you just as firmly held to be your rights. "While our civil war, I may truthfully assert, was the most sanguinary recorded in history, it was also the most remarkable, as in it there was no element of personal hostility, and the soldiers as individuals could not in tbe nature of things have entertained feelings cf hatred for each other. They fought not from re? # i J # veDge, Dot irom mance, not irom aesire to shed blood, bat simply because they felt that there lay the i path of duty. 'It was a war fought to settle questions that for more than half a century had teen matters of the most earnest, and I might say, bitter con- 1 tentions, increasing in intensity until an appeal to the God of battles was ! rendered inevitable, so that no arbi- j trament save that of the sword was possible. When the south yielded, J it was to numbers, battalions artil- | lery, to the unlimited resources of the Federal government. The armies of the south laid down j their arms, but not one iota of their belief in the truth and justice of their cause did they surrender. With ene:gy and determination they met the new problems confronting them. ! Above the carnage, above the wall j of widows and the cry of orphans, above the desolated homes, above the ! fields overgrown with now forests, there arose a new civilization and a new union, one niche in whose temple holds a figure whose name shall be honored throught the ages, Lee, whose matchless skil), whose soldierly spirit, whose wonderful endurance, was only equalled by the grandeur of soul which accepting the fiat Gi war, lived out to its lull close, toe noblest life recorded in all history for the admiration of posterity. "As between the 3uldiers on either side, there was no real enmity. Mutual admiration for each other's prowess is the sentiment of all brave men, and with admiration, respect naturally increase. "The lifetime of a generation has softened the memories of that conflict, and side by side, both north and south have stood together in battle against a foreign foe. "We meet here to cherish and intensify the memory of the great struggle in which }ou were actors. Your devotion to duty, your courage in battle and your unmurmuring endurance was your heritage fit m your ancestors. Gen. Wheeler touched upon the question of expansion by declaiing that southern statesmen had ever taken a prominent part in ail movements looking to the enlargement of our territory. "History for all time," he said, j "will record that it was under southern Presidents that we Lave wrested I from the wild Indians the greater ! pait of the 822,38S square miles I which lay between our thin lines of j settlement on the ocean and theMisj sissippi river; and under southern ! Presidents that we Lave added to { this domain an area nine times as ! great as the present arena of the j original thirteen States. "While the various negotiations were being had, and our dominions ' were being enlarged, adding to the glory of the country chiefly through the influence of the southern element most bitter opposition wa9 developed in other paits of the Union. "It is a matter of which the southern people may well take pride that during all the great progress and ad vancement of our country, including the armed contest of last year, and which, I am glad to say, now ap pears to be happily ended, no section of our land has been more devoted to the cause of our country and to upholding its honor and prestige than the people of the southern States. Those upon whom rests the cares, flntipn And burdens of government j have encountered no embarrassment or complaints or criticism from | southern States. None of their brave volunteer regiments have asked to be returned from fields cf active duty, and when the request has come from governors of other commonwealths, volunteers from the southern State s have promptly begged for the honor of filling their places in the front of battle. ''The position in which the American people find themselves today was not sought by them, but is the logical result cf conditions thrust upon the the country by a course of events beyond our control. If it be said they were foreseen and predicted, it must also be admitted that no power in our grasp could have stayed the tide, and now we stand before the gaze of civilization confronted by grave responsibilities. The supreme test of American iustitutions is involved, and the American system of government is on trial. "It is said by some that while England, Holland, France and other nations may extend a protecting hand to peoples and lands separated from the home country, benefiting both the protector and the protected, that we shall be utterly unable to accomplish such a purpose. To admit this proposition is to aamn mat, our system of government is lacking in the essential qualifications which every sovereign power should possess. In one year we have risen to the first place in the family of nations; to make the smallest retrograde step would be at the expense of the prestige we have won. To return to the starting point of a year ago would be to lose what it would take a century to regain. In answer to those who say that the policy of our forefathers forbade the extension of territory, I would point to Jefferson and the Louisiana purchase; Monroe and Florida: Polk and Texas, and the vast territory auquired from Mexico, and later to Andiew Johnson and the acquisition of Alaska. If there be any who contend that we should not pemit the Island of Cuba to become a part of the United States, and it3 people, if they desire it, to enjoy all the rights of American citizenship, I have only to point to the official declarations of our great ^Hfl I MUM I No Torture Equal to the first sj before !

During all that period our honored statesmen and Presidents from Jtfferson to Buchanan laid down in their messages and state documents the imperative necessity of making the Pearl of the A-ntillies a part of the United States. In concluding his address Gen. Wheeler paid an eloquent tribute to the women of the south and the part they bore in the war and the dark years that followed, sayiDg: "Although some of those blessed women are still with us, many more have loDg since gone to their reward, but they have rocked in cradles the principles, minds and characters which are to control the future of their beloved land. The thought which I witsh to impress upon the minds of the generation to whom we must soon intiust a sacred charge, for the Confederate soldier race is nearly run, and the injunction which I would leave with your sons and daughters, for the daugters have the nobler part, and I know they will faithfully perform it?is tbn: See to it that the women of the Confederacy have, in their posterity, a monument more lasting than any that could be built of stone.1' He closed amid much applause and the orchestra played "America." Then occurred one of the most picturesque incidents of the session. Gen. Gordon arose and advanced to the front cf the stage followed by Gen. Wade HamptoD, escorted by Col. Holmes and Maj. Barker, the former bearing a beautiful silk flag, one side of which was the battle flag of the Confederacy aDd the reverse State flag of South Carolina. Ia a few well chosen words Col. Holmes presented the banner to Gen. Hampton as the gift of the Daughters of the Confederacy of Charleston, to the United Confederate Veterans. Turning Gen. Hampton presented the flag to Gen. GordoD, who accepted it with a graceful little address. Here, as on all occasions when he appears, Gen. Hampton was greeted with tremendous applause, the old veteran of the famous legion that his name being the idol not only of his State, but the whole south. Id presenting the fl?g Gen. Hampton also resigned as commander of the army of Northern Virginia, sayiDg he would serve in the ranks as a private. He gave as a reason that his declining years and physical weakness rendered him unable to give to the office the attention and energy it de mand?. Many of the veterans were visibly affected at the General's words, and for an instant absolute silence prevailed. TheD, as if by cnmnmn imnuhe. they ro3e and cheered lustily. Bowing his thanks Gen. Hampton stepped back and soon afterward left the rostrum. Gen. Gordon then announced that the business of the convention would be suspended for the Winnie Davis Memorial exerCisesmuch attention is often paid to the 'mptoms of Eczema, but it is not long the little redness begins to itch and This is but the beginning, and will ) suffering and torture almost unene.

Manila, May 10.?The Philipino j i General Maecardo's army, inspired by wine taken from the storehouses i of Barcolor and by the General's ora- ! tory, on Monday evening attacked San Fernando. There was tremen- I i dous yelling and a great expenditure j of cartridges by the rebels, but with j very little result. Gen. Mascardo holds the outskirts of Bacolor west of the railroad. In front of his positions are the Kansas and Montana regiment, which occupy trenches that the Filipinos built in anticipation of an attack from the direction of the sea. During the afternoon of Monday, Gen. Mascardo with a large retinue j of officers rode along the line, fre- j quc-ntly stopping to harangue his j warriors. At dusk a detachment of ! rebels rushed towards tne ouiposis 1 of the Montana regiment, but were | met by a hot fire from the Montana I regiment's line. Insurgents, in trenches three miles long, responded. Af- j ter an hour's firing, during which one j private soldier of the Montana regi- j ment was wounded, the insurgents j subsided, although they kept up a scattering fire throughout the night. J Prisoners who were brought into the ! American lines, said that Gen. Mas- j cardo distributed barrels of wine among his soldiers, telling them that | he expected them to capture the city j of San Fernando. The trenches un- | doubtedly saved the Americans from i heavy losses, bullets falling thick ! about them during the engagement, j Gen. Luha i3 massing his army j east of the railway, bringing up ' troops by the train loads in sight of ; the American lines. The country between San Fer- : nando and Calumpit is filling up with | natives, who profess great friendship 1 toward the Americans, but who are j suspected by many of sympathy with j the insurrection. i The United States Philippine com- ' ! mission has been considering a proI vincial constitution for the island of Negro?, which was framed by C>1. Smith and leading natives. It is ' largely modeled after the constitution of California. While it has many good points, ! the commission will probably recom- : mend a uoiform government for all \ ' the provinces. This constitution, it is intended, will give the natives self j government, cooperating with the j military regime. Work upon the 1 constitution has been apportointed to !

Grant was given an ovation when he went ashore. Many of the M*cabebes expressed themselves as being anxious to enter the American service for the campaign against the Tagals. The United States transports Puebla and Pennsylvania sailed forborne today by way of Nagasaki. The transports Charles Nelson and Cleveland will leave on Thursday-and Friday. Washington, May 10 ?The following dispatch has been received at the war department: Manila, May 10. Adjutant General, Washington: Transport Pennsylvania left for San Francisco today. Nelson leaves 1 ltb: Cleveland 1*2; St. Paul 13th inst. Otis. It is not known at the war department what troops are beiDg brought home on these transports, and owing to the general interest on this point in all parts of the country, the Adjutant General sent a cablegram to Gen. Ods asking to be informed as to what troops on each of the transports scheduled to sail for the United States as mentioned in the telegram of today. To Solvs tlis Racs Problem.

The movement was started as a result of the race troubles in the South, over which there is much feeliDg manifested amoDg the Kansas colored people. As a part of the colonization scheme, President McKinley will be urged to recruit 35,000 colored men for military service in the islands. Including the families of the soldiers, it is argued this would take about 200,000 colored people out of the country at oncc. Then would start an exodus of colored people, which, it is said, would eventally result in i practically alll the negroes leaving ! this country."
