Some facts are being disclosed in private letters from soldiers engaged in the war I'D the Philippines that do not make pleasant reading in con? nection with the high plane upon which our war of humanity, duty and destiny was pitched The Spo kane Review publishes a letter from a soldier named E D Forman, who writes that the men of his regiment have come to the opinion that the only good Filipino is a dead one, and in describing the battles of February 4th and 5th this gallant soldier with a felling of pride, says : "We burned hundreds of houses and looted hundreds more. Some of the boys made good hauls of jewelry and clothing. Nearly every man has at least two suits of clothing and our quarters are furnished in style-fine beds with silken drapery, mirrors, chairs, rockers, cushions, pianos, hanging lamps, rugs, pictures, etc We have horses and carriages and bull carts galore, and enough furni? ture and other plunder to load a steamer " If it be true that the su?a?l nam ber of prisoners reported captured by our forces is doe to the fact that our soldiers have sdopted the policy of killing as the shortest and sorest means of making them good Filipi? nos, and if it be true that our soldiers are barning houses aud pillaging homes, appropriating jew? elry, furniture and household goods of all descriptions, there is little in the picture that appeals to our sympathy, or that bears rich promise of the early civilizing and christian? izing of these people who while defending their home are being killed and robbed of all their possessions - Augusta Chronicle The two items below appeared to? gether no doubt unintentionally, in the "Vanities" columns of one of our large dailies. The first item aimed to be funny, yet its bumor; it will be admitted, assumes rather a ghastly aspect when we read the serious an? nouncement that follows : After Patrick Henry.-"Give me liberty," howled the Filipino, as he brandished bis bow and arrow, "or give me death " "Acting and under instructions from my Government." replied the Americas trooper, turning the crank of his Gatling, "I will endeavor to give you both "-Life T.

Superintendent GriSth of the State Penitentiary, has returned lo Colum? bia from the State farm. ile is somewhat demoralized over the con? ditions, on account of the heavy rains and inability to do rauch farm work up to the present time ile is very rr.uch afraid that on account of the heavy rains, the breaking of a da?) and the general conditions, that he will be unable to make as fine a corn crop as he would desire He is, however, losing no time, wbat er, aud is making every hour count Dispensary Profils Divided. Comptroller General Has Apportioned the Money. The comptroller g?rerai wili io a day or two issue warraot9 disbursing ?he ?60,000 piaced io lbs state treasury by the dispensary to the credit of ibe school fund This money would cave been paid io December, but apportion - ment was suspended on account of maudamcus proceedings in the S:ate supreme court. Tbe comptroller general would have apportioned tbe fund amoog. those counties io rrhich tbe poll tax and three mill school tax did not aggregate three doliars per capita. There were 29 such counties The other counties naturally wanted part of the fund if it were possible to obtain it. The Rich? land county board of education endeav? ored to have the $6*0.000 apportioned among all the counties in the State, regardless of aoy deficit, for ?70,000 had already been set aside by a resolution of the general assembly to supplement the deficiency in certain conoties. The 8unreme court decided against the Richland county board, and ruled that the ?60,000 was to be apportioned among tbe counties which received & proportion of the former appropriation from the dispensary profits The disbursement has been unavoidably dela}ed, as the apportionment was to be based upon the population cf 1895, and formation of new coucties made these statistics hard to obtain, but the calculations have at last been finished Ia addition to the ?60,000 there is a surplus, cf ?7,198 35 to the credit cf the school fund which wiil also be apportioned. Following are the counties which will obtain a share of the fund : Abbeville, ? 1.269 31 Berkeley, 2,209 12 Chester. 2,510 81 Coeste.tnld, 3,286 63 Colieton, 935 41 Darlington, 660 84 Edgefield, 1,180.39 Fai, field, 4,419 03 Florence, 2,447.43 Georgetown, , 2,174.59 Greenville, 3,599.07 Horry, 8.071.59 Kershaw, 797.01 Lancaster, 5.224 42 Lexington, 2.342 45 Marion, 2.018.26 Marlboro, 717.68 Newberry, 275 83 O?ocee, 1,286 43 Oangebarg, 7,139 72 Pickeos, 3.450.05 Saluda. - 2,694 38 Spartanbarg, 924 19 Sumter, 746 95 Union, 121.41 Williamsburg, 8,133 84 York, 3,559 52 Total, ?67,198 35 Horry gets more than any other oounty, ?8,071 49 ; Oraogeburg over ?7.000 and Lancaster ?5.224 42. Uciou's share is but ?121.41 The apportionment hereafter wiil be made upoo an ec tir cly different basis. This matter was one of the most hotly contested in the legislature, but a measure was adopted whicb is expected to comply wi'.h the constitutional requirement As the average salary of a public scbooi teacher is ?25 per month, sod as the school term ?3 to be three months, the legislature adopted as a basis tkat each school district must from its three mill school tax aod its poll tex raise ?75 per annum. Sb&uid there be a deficiency in any school district, the said deficiency is to be made up from the supplementary school fund dervied from dispensary profits. After each school distrior in the State is raised to tbe basis of ?75, the remainder of the school fund is to be apportioned among all the counties ia the State io propor? tion to school enrollment.-The State. The Great Council of Red Men. The Great Council of Improved Order of Red Men of the State of South Carolina met in Spartanburg on the 11th instant, and was attended by about sixty members. Mr J Frank Pate, the representa? tive of Pocahontas Tribe of this city, was elected one of the officers for the ensuing year.

Ail Three Powers Agree as to the Instructions Washington, April! 14 -After hearit^ this njorniug (ro?o the British and German embasf-ie.^, the t ? a t e department waa enabled to announce posirively ar;d fioaliy that the three parties to the Berlin treaty bad agreed upoD the instructions to be given their Samoan commissioners, and thai it was certain that the commission wouid leave San Francisco on the 25tb instant for Samoa, on the Badger. The instructions to the commission era are identical, the three governments having aoeepted a form which compro promtsis the differences that have existed up up to this point. The cam mission will be empowered to deal with the situation as it finds h in the Samoan islands upon its arrival. This applies to acts necessary to place the affair of the islands io a peaceful and satsfaotory condition for the time being. Whatever the commission does ?D this direction is understood to be of a temporary character and subject to the approval of the three powers. As to the merits cf the bitter con? troversy between the representatives of tbe powers on the islands which led up to the unfortunate outbreak of April 1, the commissioners are expected to make a thorough, impartial investiga tioo and report the results to their respective governments. The latter will, by ordinary diplomatic exchange, apply any correoiioos that seem to be necessary The commissioners will have r.o power to alter the tiea'y cf Berlin. They may make recommend lions to that end, a?d whsre they are unanimous it is probable that their recommendations may be accepted fer changes in the treaty. At the British and German embassies the Samoan commission is considered settled beyond further question, and all attention is now beiog given to the departure of the commissioners. --m- ^ Rear Admiral Schley bas emulated Admiral Dewey's example and declined to write an article for the Ceotury magazine describing bis naval opera? tions against the Spaniards.
