Major Godwin, Who Wm in. Charge,
Kaevr "What Action to Take Un
der tne Circumstance.
NEW YORK, July 28. A special to the
"World trout Rochester says:
General Elwell S. Otis today discussed
the cable dispatch received from Manila
Thursday which stated that a soldier
was murdered In a native store at Oro
qulta. Northern Mindanao, Thursday,
while purchasing some food, and that a
company of the Fortieth Infantry sta
tioned at Cayagan immediately went to
Oroqulta and killed S9 natives as an. act
of revenge. General Otis said:
"Major Godwin is in command at Caya
jran, where the S3 Filipinos are said to
have been killed, and it is certain that
no such action was taken on his part
without cause. Alvarez is a murderer
who has been making it uncomfortable
for us ever since we landed in the Island,
and also has been robbing the natives
until they asked the aid of our troops
along the northern coast of the Island.
His band of marauders was located in the
neighborhood of Cayagan, and had been
making raids continually. They succeeded
In entering the town one time and were
driven out by our troops. It was prob
ably his men who were implicated In the
murder. Major Godwin is a thoroughly
reliable officer, and you may be sure that
he would not have attacked and killed
that number of natives if they were not
under arms. There has not been a 'single
execution of a native for the murder of
Americans."

BATTLE-SHIP OF THE FUTURE
Drifting: Airay From the Ideals of xl
Decade Affo.
Scientific American.
JL comparative study of -the designs of
the new battle-ships which figure in the
naval programmes for the year 1900 shows
, that naval constructors, both in our own
and foreign navies, are rapidly tending
to a foreign type, which, without exagger
ation, may be defined as a complete re
versal of the Ideas of battle-ship design
and construction that have been preva
lent during the last 10 or 15 years. In
the last of tne '80s and In the early '90s
of the century the typical battle-ship was
essentially of what wo may call the bull
dog type, compared with which tho battle-ship
of the opening years of the twen
tieth century will bo a greyhound in speed
and activity, while still retaining not a
little of the bulldog's fighting power.
The bulldog type, for want of a better
expression, is characterized by a hull of
bulky model, short and broad; a slow
speed of say from 14 to 15 knots; armor of
excessive thickness, ranging from 2LV4
Inches in the French Baudln and the Ital
ian Duillo, and 24 inches in the British
Inflexible, to 18 inches in our own Indi
ana and Oregon: and an offensive battery
of a few heavy, unwieldy and slow-firing
guns, which weighed as much as 1KHJ
tons apiece in the British "Benbow and
the Italian Dullio type.
During the past 15 years there have
been three important developments In
naval nfaterial which have served com
pletely to revolutionise battle-ship con
struction. The first of these is the ad
vance that has been made in the methods
of armor-plate construction, by which In
creased resisting power has been ob
tained with a great reduction In weight.
The next Is the improvement In the man
ufacture of guns and explosives, which
has been so great as to enable us to se
cure equal penetration with a gun weigh
ing only half as much as those of the
earlier type. Tho third development has
been in the design and materials of boil
ers and engines, the improvements In
which have enabled us to secure a great
reduction In engine and boiler-room
weights, and, at the same time, obtain
en increase qf from 40 to 50 per cent in
tho speed of the ship.
A mere recital of the leading particu
lars of the notable battle-ships tff the
British Navy of the past two decades
tells the story of this development. The
Inflexible, of the year 1SS1, was clothed
with 24 inches of armor, carried four 16
inch muzzle-loading 80-ton guns, and at
tained a speed of 12.8 knots with G300
horse-power. The Camperdown, of 1SS9,
carried 18 Inches of armor, mounted four
67-ton guns in her main battery, and at
tained a speed of 16 to 17 knots with a
horse-power of 11,600. The Majestic, de
signed ln 1882, carried nine Inches of ar
mor on her side, was armed with four 12
nch 0-ton guns in her main battery, -and
attained a speed of over IB knots with
about 13,000 indicated horse-power. The
Ocean, completed in the present year, has
six inches of armor on her belt, carries
a main battery of four 50-ton guns, and
has attained a speed of ISft knots with
about 14.000 indicated horse-power. In the
above statement no mention has been
made of the fact that -with the decrease
in the weight of the main battery there
has been a notable increase in the sec
ondary battery of rapid-firing guns, the
Ocean carrying 12 six-Inch guns of this
type, in addition to IS smaller quick-firing
guns. In the new battle-snips of the
Duncan class, now building for the same
navy, the side armor is only seven inches
In thickness; the battery is the same as
that of the Ocean, and tpe speed has
been raised to 19 knots an hour with an
Indicated horsepower under
draught' of 18,000.
natural J
With this last-named vessel It is in
teresting to compare our latest battle
ship of the Georgia class, which carries
11 Inches of armor on the sides and is
armed with four 52,-ton guns In the main j
batters', eight 18-ton guns in the Inter
mediate battery, and 12 slx-Incu rapid-firing
guns in the secondary battery, while
a speed of 19 knots Js to be obtained with
19.000 indicated horsepower.
Other ships than those mentioned above
show that the tendency to decrease the
weight of the main battery is very
marked, the two British battle-ships of.
the Barfleur type carrying a main bat
tery -of 10-inch 3D-ton guns, and the latest
battle-ships of the Germany Navy relying
upon 976-inch 27-ton guns for their mala
armament.
The designs tor the new battle-ships
to be laid down this year are of partic
ular Interest, because they doubtless are
intended to embody many of the lessons
which were taught by the naval engage
ments of the Spanish-American War. We
have pointed out on various occasions,
when discussing the results of the San
tiago engagement, that the heavy 12 and
13-Inch guns contributed very little to
the destruction of the Spanish fleet, the
number of hits secured being' Iws In pro
portion to the number of guns engaged
than those credited to any other weapon
engaged. Indeed, if one Is governed sole
ly -by the actual effects produced on the
Brnih shins, one is driven to the con
clusion that the best armament for a battle-ship
is that which will pour Into the
enomy a storm of smaller annor-plerclng
shells rather" than one which will depend
upon the great damage wrought by the
less frequent brt Individually more ef
fective shots from the heavier guns.
In view of the fact that the latest battle-ship
designs aro provided with armor
of from six to nine Inches in thickness,
and that to secure destructive effects it
is sufficient that a shell shall merely
penetrate the enemy's armor. It begins
to look as though the 12-lnch 50
ton slow-firing gun is at once too power
ful and too slow for the work wnlch it
will be called upon to do. It becomes a
question whether the destructive effect
of a given number of 12-lnch shells
would not be exceeded by four times uie
number of eight-Inch shells, any one of
which would be capable of penetrating
the armor of the latest type of battle
ship. It Is evidently these considerations
which have led to the design of the new
battle-ships for the Italian Navy, which
on a displacement of 8000 tons, and wjth
armor of a maximum thickness of six
inches, are to carry no gun heavier than
the eight-inch, the main battery consist
ing of 12 of these very effective weapons,
carried in pairs in six separate turrets,
disposed on the same plan as that
adopted In our own battle-ship Iowa. The
secondary battery consists of 12 three
Inch rapid-fire weapons. These eight
inch guns are to be of extremely high
veloeltv. and their rapid-fire mechanism
will enable them to Are at the theoretical
rate of Ave shots per minute.
Another remarkable feature in these
ships Is that they are built with very fine,
lines, and sufficient engine power to drive
them 23 knots an hour. Possessing such
great speed and maneuvering ability, a
vessel of this type could steam swlfUy
within a range at which the enemy's ar
mor would be penetrable by her eight
inch guns, where she would be able to
concentrate no less than eight of these
weapons, and pour In a storm of armOr
plerclng projectiles which might well de
moralize the crew and wreck the gun po
sitions of the enemy before his heavy
armor-piercing guns could get In a dis
abling shot. It must be remembered.
moreover, that two of these $000-ton ves
sels could probably be constructed for but
little more than the cost of one of the
15,000-ton battle-ships of the kind that our
own and the British Governments are
now constructing. It is probable that
the predominant type of the next decade
will approximate more to the latest Ital
ian battle-ships than It will to any exist
ing type today.
THE DEATHHROLL.

General Wood Return to Cuba.
NEW YORK, July 28. General Leonard
"Wood, Military Governor of Cuba, who
has been in the United States for about
a fortnight, sailed on the Mexico today
for Havana. General Wood said of the
military status In Cuba:
"The withdrawal of United States
troops from Cuba will end with the em
barkation of the remaining battalions of
the First and Fifth Regiments. That will
leave only about 5000 soldiers on the
island, merely enough for garrison duty."
Fears that yellow fever would Interfere
with the transfer of the First Infantry
were removed this morning upon receipt
of a telegram which said that the Sur -
geonfi reported that all signs of it bad
disappeared, and that the embarkation
would proceed with all possible dispatch.

noon. The defendant will take the stand
Monday and testify In his own beaalf.
Three weeks have been coiisumed in the
preliminaries attending the selection of
the Jury and hearing the evidence that
has been Introduced by the prosecution.
Tho attorneys for the prosecution asked
that the Jury be taken to Frankfort to
view the Statehouse grounds and build
ings, the spot where Goebel fell, and, other
things in connection with the case.
Golden resumed the witness-stand to
day, and Judge Sims began a severe
cross-examination. Golden repeated the
story of how he came to be called us a
witness. Witness said he did not tell his
brother-in-law, John Stamper, that ho
had been prc-mlsed $2500, or that he could
have $5000 In case of a conviction of the
parties. Ho also denied that he had ever
said If he and Culton could get together
they could convict all of them.
Golden was kept" busy for an hour or
more, denying that ho had made state
ments that are attributed to him, which,
it is supposed, would be Introduced by
the defense to Impeach his testimony.
The prosecution rested its testimony at
2:30 o'clock. Judge Can trill ann&unced
that the jury will not be allowed to visit
the scene of the- tragedy until all the evi
dence Is In.
On redirect examination Golden said ho
had been appronchod by his brother-in-law.
John Stamper, who told him he had a
talk with Lawyer L. F. Sinclair, now ono
of Powers' attorneys, and that Golden
could get $300n if he would leave the sti
and not appear against Powers. Witness
said he refused to consider the proposi
tion. He gave as a reason fr not point
back to Knox County, after he had mad
a' confession, that his brothers who lived
there advised him .to stav away, as they
believed he would be killed.
THE HARNESS RACES.
Another World' Record Broken at
Cleveland.
CLEVELAND, July 28. The last day
of the Grand Circuit meeting was marked
by another sensational performance. The
world's record for pacers in hobbles,
which was broken Tuesday by C. H.
Coney, when he went a mile In 2:02, was
again lowered by Prince Alert today,
when h covered the mile in 2:02.
The 2:01 pace was the great race of the
meeting. The 10 entries dwindled to three
starters, Anaconda, a prohibitive favor
ite; Indiana and Prince Alert. Prince
Alert won tho first heat with ease In
2:03. In the second heat Prince Alert
rushed to the front, crolng the quarter in
SO seconds, and the half in 1:01. Then
McHenry began to drive Anaconda. Tho
three-quarters was reached In 1:31. Both
horses came down the stretch like the
wind. Walker did not touch Prince Alert
with the whip until he was within four-or
five lengths of the wire. On the other
hand, McHenry was doing everything In
his Tpower to push Anaconda to the front.
The two pacers went under the wire so
close together that many of the spectators
thought Anaconda had won. The Judges,
however, gave the heat to Prince Alert,
and marked up the time as 2:02.
In the 2:18 trot, Palm Leaf was the
favorite, but It took seven heats to decide
who was the victor. Johnny Agan won
the 2:13 pace so easily that it deprived
tho event of Its interest. Tho results
were:

SHANYBOYS OF NORTH WOODS
Some Features of the Loperlnff Basl
' new in Adirondack "Wilderness.
Ogdensburg Journal.
The heavy snowfall, which filled the
Adirondack woods with six-foot drifts, in
suring good "sledding" in the forest until
the May flowers bloom In the clearings,
brought joy and contentment not only to
the counting-rooms of the lumber kings
of this northern country, but to hundreds
of humble cabins In the backwoods neigh
borhoods and mill settlements, whose rug
ged owners win a living for their large
and hearty families In. lumber camp, saw
mill or timber yard, for plenty of snow
for hauling the Winter's cut of logs to
the Adirondack rivers and for furnishing
freshets later on to float them down to
the great sawmills, waiting their coming,
meonsplenty and prosperity, alike to the
mill-owners and their men.
Owing- to the prevailing high prices for
building materials, lumbering operations
were conducted the past Fall and Winter
in the Adirondack country on an uncom
monly large scale, and by Christmas time,
when most of the "shanty boys" go out
to settlements to renew their, acquaint
ance with civilized life, the skldways
around the hundreds of lumber camps
were plied Jilgh with great spruce and
hemlock logs, waiting for .sleighing to
permit of their being hauled to "roll
banks" and dumped Into the headwaters
of the "Slack, the Oswegatchle, the Grass
or the Raquetto River to await the Spring
break-up. '
After a short "run of sle'lghlng" along
In, January which did not permit the
great sleds to haul one-ojuarter of the
logs to their destinations', the big thaw
- came and the warm rains melted the
snow even In the spruco' thickets of the
deep forest and brought all lumbering op
erations to an end. Just as the lumber
men were on the verge of despair, the
late blizzard came, and noW thousands of
teams are busy hauling loads of logs,
each as "big as a country schoolhouse,"
to the roll banks. By April most of tho
logs will have been hauled, after which
the majority of the "shanty boys" will
come out to the settlements to wait for
the starting up of the mills', leaving only
the gangs that bring down the great log
drives. It will be from &ne to threo
months before the log drives that start
from the headwaters of' the various
strcams4reach the mills, but preceding
these ut drives will be smaller ones, of
old logsSyleft stranded along the banks
last year by the lowering waters.
The lumber taken annually from the
spruce forest of the Adirondack exceeds
300,000,000 feet, while an equal amount of
hemlock for plank and square timber, and
poplar and elm for pulp wood, is cut each
year.
While many thousands of acres of the
Adirondack forest country have been
withdrawn from the denuding axe of the
chopper by the act sotting aside the state
park; and by the purchase of great tracts

reservations to keep the saws busy for
years to come.
The lumber camps, where the "Bhanty
boys" who hsw out the annual supply of
logs live during the long Winter months,
are large, low cabins, built of round, un
hewn logs, notched at 'the ends and laid
together "cobhouse" style. At ono end Is
a door hung on hinges cut from an old
harness tug, at the opposite end a small
window. In the "men's shanty" the chop
pers, sawyers, skldders and teamsters
lounge and sleep. Nearby Is the "cook
camp," another log cabin, with a long,
rough table In the center, around which
the men sit on wooden-legged benches to
eat their "grub," as they call four hearty
meals of "bean swagger," saleratus bis
cuit, fried pork and potatoes, served to
them at daylight, at 10 A. M.. at 3 P. M.,
and again after the day's work Is ended,
about 8 o'clock In the evening. In the
end of this "cook camp," the cook and
his satellite, the "cookie." sweat over a
huge range, preparing the rations for the
hungry army of French Canadians. In
a large log barn, at the opposite side of
the "men's shanty," the logging teams
are kept, baled hay being stored In a loft
overhead. Then thero are a granary, a
blacksmith shop, and an office, where the
foreman and scaler sleep, with an extra
bed for the boss or proprietor, when he
visits' the camp, the -whole forming quite
a backwoods village.
For an average camp of some GO hands,
the "men's shanty" and tho "cook camp"
are each about CO by 20 f,eet in size. The
men sleep In rough wooden bunks, ranged
in double tiers along the sides. In olden
times they lay on spruce boughs, with a
single blanket spread over them, bit In
these degenerate days they have thin bed
ticks, luxuriously stuffed with hay,
though they have not yet attained pillows
and sheets.
With the big stove In tho middle of the
room kept roaring with four-foot sticks
of beech and maple, no one suffers from
cold. Among the lower row of bunks runs
a wide sear-, made of a pine slab, upheld
by -wooden legs, and called a "deacon
seat." Ranged along these seats the jo
vial crew sit for an .hour or so after sup
per smoking their short "dudheens filled
with cut Rlug of the strongest variety,
and gibe and jest go around and songs are
sung and stories told. The musician of
the camp brings out his fiddle, accordion,
'or mouth organ, and the jig dancer cuts
pigeon wings or the boisterous "stag
quadrille," or spirited "French four
brings all hands out on the puncheon
floor, hoeing It down In moccasins, shoe
packs or "larrigans," the latter an off
shoot of the moccasin with a boot top.
Besides these lumber camps there are
many other little cabins scattered
throughout the woods, whose inmates, the
"gum pickers" of the North Woods, make
a livelihood from the Adirondack spruce.
A large percentage of all spruce trees are
made almost valueless for lumber by
cracks, which extend up the trunks from
the base to the lower branches of the
crown, in most cases peneteratlng to the
heart of the tree. This seam fills with
resin, which exudes and hardens, forming
the spruce gum of commerce.

TIE PROMISE OF SUMMER TREAT-
What Summer Means
in the Cure of Catarrh
There are contracted during the periods
of Fall, "Winter and Spring those ca
tarrhal conditions of the head and throat
and other parts that are engaged in
carrying air to the lungs. Tho changeable
weather, the cold spells followed by warm
oerlods wth thaws and dampness, to
gether with a necessity during the cold
weather of living Indoors with the houso
shut up and often overheated, the Impure
air of closed buildings, all tend to the
development of disease of those parts
which carry the air to the lungs and to
the ears. Not only does the Inclemency
of Spring, Fall and "Winter prouuee such
diseases, but the same causes that pro
duce the diseases also Interfere with the
efforts of the doctor to cure them. Dur
ing the Summer months things aro dif
ferent. The climate Is warmer, the high
winds loaded with dusty particles that
Irritate the diseased parts that carry the
air are absent; there Is plenty of fresh
air, as the house Is kept open, and this,
together with outdoor life, so Improve
the general health that Nature Is able
to Improve all those diseases that attack
the breathing tracts and ears. Thus, in
the treatment of all catarrhal diseases,
that which has been frequently urged is
true, namely, that one month of treat
ment durlns: the Summer, when the lia
bility to catching cold is reduced to tho
minimum and Nature lends her aid to the
physician, Is worth two months of tho
most skillful and conscientious treatment
during Winter.
The total expense to patienta of

There was a discharge from the head, and

I could not breathe through It. There
was a constant ringing and buzzing in the
ears, and on rising In the morning my
hearing was very dull.
The disease finally reached a stage

EliT IN GATARRHAL AFFECTION
What Summer Means in
the Cure of Lung Troubles
If Dr. Copeland were asked what medi
cal training would accomplish the great-
Lest good, he would uhhesitatlngly"say:
"The lesson to those with enreeDlea
constitution, weak lungs, or a tendency
to Bronchial Troubles or Consumption, of
the vital opportunities that Summer of
fers them."
The best teaching is the teaching that
will save the most lives.
And this lesson to thoae with the slight
est predisposition to Consumption will
save more lives than any that could bo
taught.
In the Summer, bronchial diseases may
be more speedily cured: with Nature help
ing the work, the result Is more certain;
after the cure the constitution Tesumes
Its normal condition more quickly; those
so feeble that they should not even ex
pose themselves to the weather during
tho Winter may visit the offices, and aro
helped in the progress of treatment, rath
er than injured by the exposure to out
door air. With many of the more serious
cases where long-neglected catarrhal dis
eases, invaded the bronchial tubes which
convey the air to the lungs, has taken Its
advance Into the tissues of the lungs
themselves, has reached the end of the
road lined with the mucous membrane
upon which It lives and feeds, and, find
ing no new tissue, settles down to feed
upon tho lung colls with many of these
serious cases, treatment during the Sum
mer months is the only hope. Little it
any help can be promised them during
tho Winter.
It is then during the Summer that the
danger of catarrhal extension Into the
deeper part of the bronchial tubes or
lungs may be averted.
It Is then only during tho Summer
months that those more desperate cases
involving the lungs themselves may be
I treated with any hope.

I raised a great deal and frequently I
spat mucus streaked with blood, and
sometimes bright red blood. There was
a constant dripping from the head, which
kept me hawking and spitting, and the
throat sore and irritated. At night my
throat would fill up so I could not sleep,
thus adding sleeplessness to my other suf
ferings. I had debilitating night sweats,
and my breathing was short and labored.
After a time my stomach became in
volved. I had no appetite or desire for
food. What little I did eat caused belch
ing and great misery.
I had lost flesh and was so weak and
feeble that I could not attend to my
household duties. Part of the time I was
unable to do anything at all. I was great
ly worried over my falling health, for sev
eral in our family had died of what the
doctors called consumption, and I feared
I was going into that terrible disease.
All ray friends thought so, too, for I had
all the symptoms.
Some little time ago I became satisfied
that the Copeland treatment was what I
was needing, and I began a course of
treatment, with results that were ex
tremely gratifying and happy. I am an
entirely different woman from what I was
a few months ago. I will not go over my
symptoms again, but I hardly have an
ache or pain now.
