Tbe excessive rainfall delayed plat
yog operations, and they cannot

bottom lands, for some ti se, est?o:
ted at a week or ten days.
The damage caused by the bea1
rains was confined principally to t
upper and central portions of tl
State Lands were badly wash?
and gullied ; bottom lands were i
undated, or covered with sand ai
mud ; roads aad bridges we
destroyed ; fertilizers leached c
sandy lands, or washed off tl
)ands; but the rain benefited whea
and oats, pastares, trnck and garden
and, together with the 6easooabl
temperatures that prevailad, cause
rapid germination of recently plante
seeds.
The preparation of lands for plan
: ing made slow progress, or came t
a standstill* thus making an airead;
late season over the western hal
of the State still later. Sunshin
and dry weather ts BOW needed.

worms are destructive at places
Late coro is coming op qoickly
Corn planting is nearly finished ovei
the eastern half of the State, but bal
not made much progress over tb<
western half
Cotton that was planted early ir
April is coming op to good stands
The bulk of the crop remains to be
planted. Lands are not all prepared
Seed is scarce in places. Sea island

The Insurgents Lost One
Thousand m Battle.
Manila, Aprii 22. 10 30 a. m -
Last week bas been one of the blood?
iest of the war since the first day's
?gbtiDg around Manila. Authentic
reports?, mostly official, show a total of
378 Filipinos killed, 12 officers and
244 men captured and many more
wenoded. Thc number is hardly
guessable. Considering that tbe Fili?
pinos entirely lack hospital facilities, a
great majority of the wounded will die.
Probably the week's work finished
1,000 insurgents. The Americans
total loss was 9 killed and 16 wounded.
Two sargeants and one private were
killed in ambush while esoortiog
provision trains.
Twenty FUipioos io the province of
Bataogas attacked Lieut Wende, who,
with eight meo, was scouting near

iofantry was badly wounded io an
ambo8b near Baliuag. Lieut Raich of
the Thirty seventh infantry, with 70
meo, had a five hours' fight with 400
insurgents iu the Uueva Caceras
district. Tweoty of the insurgents
were killed
Col Smith of tho Seventeenth infao
try, who captured Gen Montenegro
and brought bim to Manila, is io tbe
isolation hospital suffering from smail
pox, presumably caught from the
Filipinos
Col Smith's oommaod captured 18C
officers and men vtith Montenegro
The officers were brought to Manila.
Montenegro, who was formerly one of
tbe most dapper officers in the Filipioo
army, leeks worn and haggard He
says he had led a terrible life for
months, and he bas offered to return to
the north with Col Smith to endeavor
to persuade his former comrades of the
uselessness of opposing the Americans
0:)e hundred esoaped Spanish prison?
ers from tbe province of Tajabas,
South Luzon, have arrived" at Manila
The insurgents- have 400 more Span?

market is boated in the centre of tbe
city Io black, rotten wooden build?
ings the keepers of thc stalls live there,
with their families, buddied together in
great filtb. Some of the victims were
stricken and died within an hour
There have been several deaths in other
sections of the city recently which have
been traced to infection from the
market After all the market people
bad gathered together today the health
officers threw a guard around the
buildings and will keep tbe iomates
quarantined there for a fortnight. They
will theo burn the market.
The total number of bubonic deaths

COLLECTOR R M. WALLACE
Senate Confirmed His Appomtmeet
; Quickly.
Washington, D. C., April 13 -Col. Wal?
lace, of Sumter, is DOV collector of tbe port
of Charleston His nomination was coo
firmed bj tbe Seoate io executive session to?
day at the mstaoce of both of the Sooth Car?
olina seoator8. DuriDg tbe day Senator
Tillman received a nomber of telegrams trom
prominent business raen in Charleston urging
prompt confirmation of Collector Wallace.
Seoator Tillman explained to tbe Seoate tbe
circumstances of Collector Wallace's ap
poiotment and tbe Senators were greatly en?
tertained by bis recitation of the etory of
how former Collector Tolbert and bis depn
tie3 converted tbe Cbarieeton Custom House
into a "blind tiger" and, upon Oeing discov?
ered by the State officers, destroyed the con?
traband liquor by dumpiDg it into a sewer
io the basement of the Custom Boose.
Seoator Tillman amused bis associates by
relating to them bow the Custom House offi?
cers bad unintentionally brewed about 80,000
gallons of rum puocb, wbicb is now oo
draught ia tbe cistern wbicb supplies tbe
Custom House with drinkiog water In try
iog to get nd of the iiquor the violators of
the State law emptied tbe casks of whiskey,
wine ?Dd rum into the sewer, supposing tbe
liquor would flow out into toe harbor and
perhaps iotoxic^te tbe shrimps, ?ea bas3 aod |
otber fiih which abound in the harbor. There j
appears to have been a leak io the sewer so I
that the iiquor Sowed into the cistern thal j
supplies tbe Custom Houie with drinking j
water, thus polluting the wat-r supply and j
rendering it uont for use.
Coiiector Wallace, accompanied by ,;?css'' j
Webster, ?'ad an interview with Seoator
Tillcac before the Senate wer.t iuto executive
sessioo. Mr. Waiip.ce suvs he wiil bavr.- co ?
difficulty in furnishing tbe 550.000 bond re- j
quired. He i3 presided cf a Dank, aisn io- i
tcre?ted io a telephone company and a cotton !
fictcry and is prepared to give-; bond v.itbout j
delay and take cbdrga of tte Custom Reuse.
Ia bis interview with Secretary Gage^Coilec
tor Wallace rrqaested permission io take one
day cff escb week from bis official duties to
look after bis personal bus;ne?3 interests, j
After tbe situation wes explained Secretary |
Gage realized that Collector Wallace is mak- j
ing something of a personal sacrifice :? ac?
cepting the cal!ector9hip and accordingly
granted the request. There is to be a general
overhauling of tbe Custom House force ap?
pointed by former Colkctor Tolbert and 5: is
understood that all of tbe latter's appointees
are to walk the plank. This means the de?
capitation of Deputy Collector Osteodorff and
the rest of the Tolbert gacg.
Collecior Wallace is troubled orer the dis
positioo cf the 50,000 gallons of rum puuch
in the cistern. He will probably have it
pumped ou: and pipe all the fish in the har?
bor to free grog.
Col. Wallace's Appointment.
The News and Courier of last Thursday
corning in commenting on the summary re?
moval of Collector Jobo R. Tolbert and
the appointment of Col. R. M. Wallace to
succeed bim as collector of tbe port of
Charleston, bad this to say of Col. Wallace.
The wires said, however, that Charleston
was to have as collector of the port Col. R
M Wallace, of Sumter, aod the change will
surely be hailed as a great improvement
Col. Wallace is a Republican nohtictan, but
in manners, in business capacity and popu?
larity be stands head and shoulders above
tbe man deposed. He is well known in
Charleston aod will meet meoy friends wben
be steps into the city to assume bis official
duties. Tbe President sent the nomination
of Col. Wallace to tbe Senate yesterday and
it is expected that it will be confirmed with?
out dela?.
Col. Wallace is a native of York County,
Sooth Carolina, and is about 62 years of age
He was educated at Erskine College, Doe
West, and as a Confederate soldier served
throughout the war with conspicuous gal?
lantry. After the war he engaged is busi?
ness and became interested in politics,
espousing the Republican cause and receiving
at tbe bands of this party several favors,
notaoiy the position of United 8tatC9 mar?
shal, which be beld for so we years rome
years ago Col. Wallace was a cacdidate for
Governor on the Republican ticket, but was
defeated. He bas recently civen bis time
almost entirely to business and bas made bis
home in Sumter "
The Flood.
The rainfall duriog last week was tbe
heaviest within tbe recollection of all
save the very oldest inhabitants and even
they have to rummage around in the for?
gotten recesses of memory to fina a spell of
weather to match our present experience.
The streets have been flooded, gutters and
ditches overflowing acd all the low groucds
are under water Turkey Creek id on a
rampage aod tbe bottom lands adjacent have
been transformed into n lake. A great many
oridges on the streams to the cooDtj are
reported to have been washed away, but
thus fnr no washouts have oeen reported on
the railroads in this county. Owing to high
water in a branch this side of Eiliott the
train from Bishopville did cot reach tee city
today.
At Camden tbe Wateree bas risen rapidly
and hfis passed the daoger hoe. The water
bas b-tcksd up uctil the Southern Railway
track is covered aaa the low grounds near
the depot are covered. The Seaboard tracks
have been seriously damaged and it is feared
that the temporary bridge across tbe river
?ill be swept away.
All the railroads throughout the State
cave already suffered more or less damage and
if the rain continues as it bids fair to do for
a d*y or more the damage wi:l be very
serious
A report was circulated here this morning
tbat the Seaboard eteel bridge across the Pee
Dee at Cheraw bad been p?ept away, but the
report was afterwards contradicted by the
telegraph operator at Cheraw. Eut a part
of the trestle in the low grounds ha3 oeen
washed away and traffic has beeo interrupt?
ed The new railroads will be the greatest
eufferers |as the unsettled rosd bedn wiil not
be as well able to withstand the flood as
the old and solid tracks of tbe older roads.

To Build an Oil Mill in
Charleston.
Charleston. April 22.-The Atlant?
ic Cotton Oil Company of Sumter j
will bui:d a cotton seed ol! mill in j
Charleston It will be "located j
near the Mutual Oil Company, j
which was purchased last Saturday
bj tbe Atlantic Cotton Oil Company.
The deal between the oil com?
pany of Sumter and the Mutual
Refinery has been pending for some
time, though it was not cons-um
nated until iast Saturday, when thc
stockholders agreed to sell out their
stock to the Sumter concern, which
had offered a fair price. The pur?
chase was concluded by telegraph
on Saturday afternoon.
The Atlantic Oil Company is cap?
italized at i\ quarter of a miilion
dollars and has a greater output
than any other oil mill in the State,
having a capacity of 10,COO gallons
per day. Toe company operates
four oil milli-: and will soon begin
the erection of a fifth mill, which
will be constructed on the site of
the Mutual Refining company which
is considered a mo6t advantageous
location for an oil mill Besides
being near the refining works it wiil
have ail the space necessary for the
successful manufacture of cotton seed
oil, and being near the railroads and
water will have all the shipping
facilities necessary.
The mili wi:i be equal to any oil
mill now being; operated by thc At?
lantic company. All the newest
machinery and the latest methods in
the making of cotton seed oil will be
used and only a first class product
will be put on the market
