Anarchy In Philippines.
London, Aug. 25. The Labuan cor
respondent of the Reuter Telegram

ceived there direct from Manila says
an indescribable state of anarchy pre
vails. The Americans, according to
these ad vices, occupy a radius of fifteen
miles there; around the town of Iloilo
they occupy a radius of nine miles,and
around Cebu they occupy a small ra
dius. The rest of the country, it is
added, is in the bands of the Filipinos.
The correspondent also says it is re
ported the Filipinos have murdered

Washington, Aug. 2r. Tho army
and Navy Register in its lsue tomor
row will say:
Recent letters from Manila mention
the illness of Admiral Watson as a
source of great anxiety to his otlicers.
The illness is the effect of an accident
which occurred o his launch while he
was on board on July 11. The Balti
more, his flagship, has been for some
time an Cavite, leaving Manila so as
to escape the full force of tho
typhoons. Requiring to make a trip
up tho river, the admiral started in
his launch. A strong wind was blow
ing and as the launch, the Undine,
went under the bridge over tho river,
known as the Bridge of Spain, the
strong current, aided by the wind, set
against the little boat and it was
taken out of its course and thrown
against a hawser from a sailing ves
sel. This ropo carried away the awn
ing and, striking the smolcestack,took
that also.
Admiral Watson, sitting in tho
forward part of the launch and wit
nessing the full danger of the accident,
showed no conscious appearance of
having been startled, excessively, by
the occurrence, or In" any way of hav
ing suffered by it. Later, however,
in fact, before his return to the flag
ship, serious heart trouble developed
and in consequence he was regarded
as extremely ill up to the date of the
latters of July 17. No one but Ms
physician is allowed access to him and
all business of the fleet is forbidden.
It is hoped, however, that the en
forced quiet may restore him to his
previous health.
ing districts, such as Mariano, Regla
and Rivera. Tho employers tried to
settle the matter by proposing to the
men a compromise of $5 per month
instead of $10, which was demanded.
Many of the men were inclined to
accept this. If the settlement i9 !
rejected a general strike will imme
diately be declared.
The cigarmakers also threaten to
strike. The system of short time
has caused much discontent. The em
p'oyers s-iy the leaf is scarce and that
if the men worked full time they
would soon have no work left for them
to do. At tho factory the men
threatened a riot and the police had
to bo called in.
Demand Nine-IIour Work Day.
Philadelphia, Aug. 2S. A com
C'u.ittee of three, representing the four
local lodges of the International Asso
ciation of Machinist-, todpy presented
to the Cramp Ship Building comoany
a t-et i f resolutions demanding a nine
hour work day at tne yard and asking
that the recently discharged men be
re-tmolcyed. Charles II. Cramp de
clined to receive the committee and
the demands were left in the hands
of the fecretary.
Later a committee of blacksmiths
employed at the ship yard sought an
interview with Mr. Cramp and, failing
to see him, left a copy of their de
mands, which were similar to those of
the machinists, except that they did
not ask for the reinstatement of the
discharged employes.
The firm is given until next Friday
to reply and if the answer is not satis

Hrjoictng In Kan Francisco.
San Fkancisco. Aug. 25. The
California regiment landed from the
transport Sherman today and marched
to the Presidio. As this was San
Francisco's home regiment, the
demonstration exceeded in enthu
siasm the reception accorded to
other regiments. People came from
all parts of the state -to see tho show
and this morning there were fully
100,000 strangers in town. The troops
landed at 7 o'clock and were given a
breakfast at the ferry building.
Then they marched to the Presidio,
escorted by the Third artillery, the
Colorado regiment and the National
Guards. Immense crowds lined the
streets for miles and gave the sol
diers a rousing welcome home.
"In his address of welcome to the
California volunteers today Governor
Gage said in part:
"The present war is not a war of
conquest, notwithstanding the trea
sonable utterances of a few carping
critics to the contrary. The acquisi
tion of territory is but an incident, the
war itself bjing in defense of Ameri
can rights, American commerce and
Christian civilization. To' yield to
disorganized bands of half-civilized
natives the lands won from tho king
dom of Spain by the blood and efforts
of our soldiers would be to forever
lose our foremost place among the
powers as a commercial and civilizing
nation.
"The splendid work which you and
your fellow soldiers from every part
of the union have Accomplished must
not be destroyed by a relinquishment
of the Philippines. Our nation needs
commercial expansion across the Pa
cific ocean and the Philippines,
gained by both war and purchase, are
necessary for the maintenance of our
commerce and prestige of our flag."

Lighthouse on Ralls.
Moving a lighthouse by rail Is a
novel sight to which an English com
munity has recently been treated. The
house is made almost entirely of steel,
weighs 120 tons and had to be drawn
part of the distance through water.
Its removal was necessitated by the
gradual encroachments of the sea, by
which the beach between Yarmouth
and Harwich is slowly disappearing.
So steady have these encroachment!
been that this is the third time the old
Lowestoft Low lighthouse has had to
be moved. This time it was placed 250
feet further Inland. The former foun
dations, together with a number ot
cottages which surrounded the light,
ars mostly under water. The removal
was made by a local contractor. Two
engines were engaged in the work.

"A hitched my foot in the pronce and J
knacked my nuddick, an' A wadn't able :
to clunky for a fortnight."
Readers of recent i;o; n!ar dialect
tales will probably take it for granted
that this sentence is Scotch. It is,
however, Cornish, and being Inter
preted means, "I caught my foot in the
pavement, and struck the nape of my
neck, and I was not able to swallow
for a fortnight."
The dialect of Cornwall is rich and
varied, but recent authors, with the
exception of Mr. Quiller-Couch. have
not pressed it into the service of litera
ture; and even he has administered it
In gently moderated doses to the un
prepared public, which misht not have
accepted It at full.strength.
There are gome quaint terms com
mon In Cornwall which have a pleas
ing savor of their own. The phrase
"my deear" prolonged to two sylla
bles is not, for instance, any indica
tion of especial affection; it is a com
mon form of address, to either man or
woman. So also, though with rather
more discrimination in its use, is "My
deear life."
A young child Is mentiored in terms
of endearment as "my 'ansorae," or
"tender deear," or s even "tender
worm." "Son" and "sonny" are used
without the least relation to the age
or sex of the person addressed. A
son may 'sometimes be heard speaking
to his own father as "my son," or s
husband calling his wife "sonny!"
"Young" means simply unmarried.
A bachelor of eighty is "a young man."
Of a bride still in her teens it was said
that she was "a pretty lot better-looking
than when she was young!" An
old person is not simply old; he is
"old ancient." Several New England
localisms are found in Cornish speech:
as "cricket" for a small stool, "chores"
for household jobs, and "dowdy" for
pudding though in America the lat
ter word survives only as part of "pan
dowdy," the delicious deep spiced-apple
pie of country housewives.
A Cornish anecdote relates that a
small boy left at home to supervise the
family dinner while the rest of the
household were at church, having, like
King Alfred, neglected his duty and
allowed the fig pudding to scorch, in
his dismay ran to the church and
from the doorway made signs to the
housewife to come forth. She indig
nantly signed to him to wait, which
for a time he did, hut at length, be
coming impatient, cried aloud in reply
to her further winks and grimaces to
the scandal of the startled congrega
tion: "Yiew may winky and skrinky as
long as yiew du plase; but the flggy
dowdy-is burnt gin the crock!"
It takes less effort than to read
Chaucer, and no more than to read
Burns, to translate such a sentence
