Tillman stopped over in Columl bia on last Thursday on his way to the Union speaking. The State pub lishes the following interview from him: The senator, when soon did not appear in the humor to exert himself overmuch by an extended interview. His. remarks, however, though not rambunctious, were reeking with the irony so characteristic of "Pitchfork Ben." As a prelude he opened up on the charge of Mr. Mayfiold, published in The Stato, to the effect that twolve committeeman had expressed regret at their action the morning after the meeting. In this connection the senior senator said: "I don't believe a word of it and unless Miayfiold specilies and they will acknowledge the charge why there's no use for the committee to say anything about it. Certainly I'm not going to take the trouble to deny it. If somebody would merely post a communication to each of the committeemen and got their vote that will show whether they acted like 'whipped curs,' as 'he' termed it," referring to the junior senator. A copy of The State for July 31 was handed to Mr. Tillman, contain ing Mr. W. D. Mayfield's statement, characterizing as a lie the charge made by Senator Tillman to the effect that McLaurin was buying up the newspapers. Tho senator al ways was a good actor. Instead of jumping on Mayfield with both feet, he proceeded to give some significant facts: "When I was in Orangeburg to attend Dr. Stokes' funeral I learned from Mr. Simmns, the editor of The Times-Democrat there, that an agent from Senator McLaurin had come to him with the proposi tion to pay him if he would agree to publish in his paper all McLaurin's literature that might be sent him. Mr. Simms' reply to them was that he would publish in his paper just what he pleased and nothing more. This was one of my reasons for say ing what I did. Moreover, I used my eyes. I've noticed that a good many of the newspapers that some months ago were opposed to Me Laurin are now for him. Knowing that McLaurin's agents had been abroad, and having noticed this suid den change on the part of a number of newspapers, I put two and two together. I wish you..would say that Mr. Mayfield aud I have been good friends in the past and I don't care to have any unnecessary altercation with him." To the information that Mr. May field was to be manaiger of the Mc Laurin campaign lhe replied: "I wish him joy in his new field. I was not.aware," he continued, "that it was obligatory for the United States senator to have 'campaign managers' or 'advisors'-whatever you want to 1 them. I never had anybody to y campaign for me." eator didn't think the mat urin's declining invita tated by Mr. May tion one way declining ,f" lhe * -" .. . ~ iu .v.aj l,L (II 1 It JU M,1 It recont charge in the Yorkvillo En guirer. Teio whole thing was a lie, but then that paper couldn't publish anything about me that wasn't ma. licious or false. All that story about my taking or being offered money was nothing but a lie. They told another lie when they quoted me as berating the intelligonco of my audience. What I did was this: I told them that I was glad to have the opportunity to address an audi once that was off the railroad and in the backwoods. 1 meant by that, people who live so far in the coun try that they are cut off from the ad vantages in the way of mails and the like. And I also told them that the reason I was glad of this oppor tunity was because I could moot the people who had always been among my stronghold supporters and they could meet inn." Those obstructions having received their respoectivo knocks from South Carolina's veteran knockor, the Mc Laurin reply was then submitted for i drubbing. "The lottor is an insinuation from beginning to end. He is appealing to the people who have opposed me in the past, trying to out-hierod Herod in his abuse of me. He ac cuses me of being a Republican. It hasn't boon a long time ago since ho called me Populist, Socialist and an archist. Lord Bacon onco said that liars ought to have good memories. It strikes me he needs to keep better track of some of his. "Io,attompts to defend his action by mine.

HATTLESI' WISCONSIN Is HELD IN To Procoeec to Pannama on Pacific Side of Isthmus If Aialre Tnko More Serious Turn. Washington, Aug. 8.-Just before the navy dopartment closed today an order was sent to Capt. George 0. Reiter of the battleship Wisconsin, now at Anacortes, near the Puget Sound station, to proceed from San Francisco, from which point the bat tleship will be dispatched to Panama in case the state department requests a warship on the Pacific side of the Isthmus. This action was taken af ter Assistant Secretary Hackett had received from the state department a communication from J. Edward Simmons, of New York, pr-esident of the Pananma Railway company, set ting forth the seriousness of the sit uation on the Isthmus, and suggest ing that warships be sent both to the Atlantic and Pacific side. M~r. Adee, the acting secretary of state, replied to Mr. Simmons that the gunboat Miachias had been ordered to Colon on the Atlantic side, b)ut it was the view of oflicials, during the early part of the day, both at the state and navy departments, that there was no present necessity for sending a ship en the Pacific side. For this reason, Mr. Adeo made no request on the navy department for another sh'p, but as a matter of information 'ie transmitted the letter of Mr. Sim mons to the acting head of the navy department. While this was not a request for a ship, yet Mr. Hackett felt that it was quite desirable to have one in readi ness to go, should the request be made. He therefore directed that the order be sent to the WVisconsin ocome down to. San Francisco, and wait further orders. ection of a battleship for ivo duty apparently to the situation, 008 not possess. the smaller and the choose eden I'llZLI''NE WAIC.

MacArthur, date( July .1, 1901, tlho day that ho rolin tluishod conunand of the division o the Phiippinine , has hoen received a the war depart mont. The porioi covered by the report is from Octo her 1, 1900, whon tho last repori from Gen. MacArthur was dated Ho reviews the policy of the Filipi nos who were hostile to the Ameri cans, saying that their action sinct the practical collapse of the insurrec tion has beon a perplexing problem With the disbandment of the insur. gont field armios the Filipinos organ. ized dosporato resistance by bandinp the peoplo together ill support of the gvorillas. This was carried out by molans of secret committees who col. cectod contributions, inflicted pun ish. monts, and carried on a considorabk opposition to the Americans. Gon, MacArthur reviews the manner in which operations were carried on against these guorillas, and says hr hopes the policy will in time concili. ate the natives and makslco them friend ly to the United States. The educa lion of the people in time past made them suspicious of any government al benoficence, and they evidently lookedl upon the lenient attitudo of the Uni ted States as indicating weakness. Gen. MacArthur nays that the proc. lanmation issued on Deco uber 20th firmly declaring the intention of the United States to hold the islands and to have the laws obeyed, had a good effect, and the secret resistanco was much abated. A considerable portion of the ro ports is devoted to the field opera tions of the army, showing that on October 1, 1000, it occupied 413 sta tions, which was of necessity in creased to 502 stations, every com mand being in contact with some hostile force. He speaks of the good servico of the army, and says as a ro sult of the co-operation between the army and the people who have ac cepted the invitation to combine for mutual protection, and armed insur rection is almost suppressed. Gen. MacArthur gives the follow ing statistics from May 5, 1900, to June 30, 1901, (during which time there wore 1,026 contacts between American troops and insurgents) which show the casualties on both sides: Americans killed, 245; wound ed, 490; captured, 118; missing, 20; insurgents killed, 2,850; wounded, 1,193; captured. 0,572; surrendered, 23,095. During the same period, the following material was captured or surrendered from the insurgents: Rifles, 15,093; rifle ammunition, 300, 305 rounds, revolvers, 808; bolos, 3,510; cannons 122; cannon ammu nition, 10,270 rounds. Gen. MacArthur gives a brief capit ulation of the condition in different provinces and1 says that at present the molding force in the Philippine islands must be a wvell organized army and navy. Anything, he says, in (lhe immediate future calculated to impede t,he activity or reduce the efliciency of these instruments, wul not onIly be a menace to the present but put in jeopardy (lie entire future American possibilitios in the archli pelago. Gien. MacArthur says the capture of Aguinaldo may be regarded as the most momentouls smngle event of the year. Gien. MacArthur speaks of the great confusion regarding a money medium in the Philippines and fa vors the recommendations of Col. E. H. Crowder, military secretary, for a coinage system to meet the condi tions existing in the islands, embrac ing (lie coinage of a peso containing 12 9 10 grains, nine-tenths line, tc be represented in the circulation by coins containing such jnultiple of the standard peso as may be regarded as most convenient of mintage, the es. tablighment of the gold standard and of Filipino national banks, thie samt all respects as now authorized ir nited States. r discussing the various con regarding the friars, LGen, r navai "Lpenrlyeak1r ing, and in broad scope, there iH neo church qlue )n1 in the Philii)lie:i.

Cameron, which sailed from ILiver pool yesterday for Now York, via Queonstown, arrived -this mllorning and reported having been in collision last night in the Irish (1)banne10l with the steamer K incora of \Vatert for.', Ireland. Tho Kincora sank. Severn persons wore drowned. The only dau,iged suistained by the Oceanic consistedi in a few dents to her port plates. Sho p)rocroded at 3.50) p. m1. The collision occurred this side of Tuskar at about 1.31 in the mtorn ing. The fog was -very dense; the Kincora was struck amidship. All the passengers of the Oceanic were in bod at the time and there was some commotion until Capt. Cam (ron assured them that thero was not the least causo for alarm. Headway was kept on tho Oceanic after she struck tho Kincora in order to give the crow of the latter a chance to claiibor on board the Oceanic. The boats of the White Star liner were lowered to roscuo cv. ory man po?ible. The Kincora sank very rapidly. 'lho Oceanic re mained in tie vicinity of the colli sion until daylight, but nothing was then visible beyond some floating wreckage. The Kincora wan a coast ing vessel trailing betwoen Wate ford andu Lim erick. She had a crow of 141 *mon. The Oceanic brought the sevon sur vivors to this port. AJIRONAUI' DIUMONT HAS NARROW mEC.tFE. HiH liniloon itruek uitlding nund Explocd Navigator Sus paledi in Ali. Paris, Angust 8.--M. Santos Du mont, the aeronaut, this morning again attempted to encircle the Eiffel tower. HoI succeeded in round ing tower with (difliculty. Tlhe bal loon was then unable to make head wvay against strong winds and fell near a house in the vicinity remain oug suspendedl for somoe time. M. Santos Dumont was not injured. Santos Dumont started from the Parc de St. Cloud at 0:10 a. mu. amid hearty chceors. H is initial move ments woroe promising, as the b)alloonk turnod around Eififel tower, mno11 minutes and 34 seconds after- start ing and roboeaded for St. Cloud(. Just over the avenue H[onri Marnioni, however, a strong gust of wind1 struck the acrost-ate which vorod violently to one side almost simultaneoously hounding backwards a distance of 50 yards. The hiydriogon gas was forced from the front to the back part of the balloon, cr-eating a sud (den exp)ansionl which caused the machine to dip. Her screws touched the steel cords and broke them. M. Santos Dumont im mediately stojpe(d the motor and the balloon began to descend. Unfortunately the cover of the acrostate struck the corner of a six-story building. A report like the shot of a cannon followed. Thc balloon collapsed and fell rapidly, Luckily the frame caught on th< coping of the building and the bail. loon remained suspon dod ot herwist Santos D)umont would have beer killed. As it was the aeronaut hung in this most l'nrgerous position ii mid-air for half an hour until by great effort lie succeededl in catching4 the iron har of a window to which he clung until rescued with som< difficulty by the use of ropos.
