PETERSBURG. -Tho Abso cintcd press learns by mail that tho itrictcBt censorship is now exercised pvcr press dipatchcs in tho Cau casus to conceal the true state of iffairs, both regarding tho t-uo Inwardness of the Tartar-American warfare and the fermentation among the Russian troops in the garrisoned towns of Trans-Caucasia. Tho cor respondent of tho Associated press lias not been permitted to telegraph tunny items of news, and in othei suses the censor would only accept his dispatches when supported by the ollicial version o' the affairs they reported. Tho Armenian-Tartar situation is worse than is known to tho outsido world. Almost all tho Russian mili tary units are disaffected and even tho Cossacks are rebelling against going police duty. The latest mutiny is that of the Poltava Cos jacks, who, several days ago, at Tillis, formerly demanded to be rolieved from police duty and asked for tho discharge of those who had lervcd more than threu years. The Jntire regiment was disarmed and confined in their barracks under guard. Decide on I'lcu for Tlmw NEW YORK. A decision was reached by the attorneys for Harry K. Thaw that Thaw's defense to tho hargc o killing Stanford White will uo a plea of emotional insanity. This will include as a part of the defense the declaration that Thaw's insanity existed only until after White was killed and that Thaw 13 fane again and has been since the frilling. The decision to make tin's plea was reached after tiiu reports of two alienists who' visited Thaw in the Tombs had communicated to Clifford W. Hartridgo of Thaw's counsel. It was decided also thai Mrs. Harry Kr Thaw will be tho chief witness of tho defense in its effort to prove that Thaw was insane when ho killed White. It was over tho question whether a plea of insanity should be made that Thaw and his former counsel dis agreed, resulting in the dismissal of the lawyers. The plea insisted upon by Tha-.v's former counsel included the admission that he is now insano and if accepted by the court and jury would have caused his confinement In an insane asylum. The pica now decided upon makes no such ad-' mission. Plot toil To OiiHt Castro NEW YORK. -On a charge of mak ing dieB to counterfeit the standard silver dollar of Venezuela, of iinance a revolution in that country, secret pervico officers arrested Capt. George Boynton, former resident managci of the Orinoco corporation of Vena zuela, and L. R. Thomson, an at torney both of this city. Both prisoners were admitted to bail in $5,()C0. JoFcph Keller and Sidney A. Keller, of Keller Brothers, die makors, were also arrested in con nection with the case. The two prin cipals in the case aver that tho plan to duplicate Venezuelan money is not counterfeiting. Later, arter the revolution proved successful, they said it was expected to legalize this issue of mcney, both by executive decree and by act of tho Venezuelan junta. Tho accused men characterized this plan as a "war measure." They al?o allege that half ol the South American risings nro similarly financed. The story of tho arrests and the facts leading up to them nro inter esting. According to Chief Wilkio, Captain Boynton came to New York in Juno last to linanco and 'lay the preliminary plans for a revolution against President Castro. He had .with him an authorization which .purported to bear tho signature of leading revolutionists appointing him , special commissioner to America iwith power to do practically any. 1 thing and everything necessary tc get the movement started.

Killed In Flcht HAVANA. Tho insurgent forces commanded by Pino Guerra have captured San Juan do Martinez, the terminus ol the Western railroad and havo eccupiod the town and rail road station. There was no blood plied at the occupation of San J tint de Martinez, according to tho roports just received. Tht small force ol rural guards which held the town fled at the approach of the insurgent? A force of rural guards and volun teers has left Cienfucgos, province of Jranta Clara, to engage 300 insur gents who have left Las Lajas under the command of Colonel Guzman, mayor of that town. Another train load ot troops was sent from Havanna westward bound for the city of t'inar del Rio, from which base they will assist in operating the insur gents who are occupying San Luis nd San Juan do Martinez. Clitlm Kurkliona Iff Kroken Jt is increasingly evident that tho backbone of the insurrection in the western part of the province of Havanna has been broken. Even had tho death of General Bandera not hastened that consummation, tho members of his band were making for their homos, as the pursuit of tho mounted rural guards, day and night, had sickened them of any insurrectionary career. Pino Guerra is a tar higher class leader, who has a more intelligent following and his occupancy of San Juan de Martinez quickly followed his capture of San Luis, enabling him to seriously threaten the pro vincial capital of Pinar del Rio. One drawback to. the general situa tion is the fact that while many prominent men are protesting their loyalty to the government, there is an undeniable lukewarmness and waiting attitude among the masses. They have the impression that per haps a change in the occupancy of tho presidential chair might bring more liberal and real self government to Cuba. Oerimvny NcedK to Clean Up BERLIN The government medical department has issued a report on the sanitary condition of the Prussian bakeries and slaughter houses to which the newspapers are giving sensational prominence, ono of them using the capLion "America in Vrnssia." Tho report sets forth that many of ;ho butchering establishments were found in a very unclean condition. Some of them wero located in dark .sellars, where cleanliness was im possible, and'ohters had no facilities for tho employes to wash themselves. The government inspectors found particularly objectionable conditions in the bakeries. In one town boye kneaded tho dough with their feet and one bakery was occupied by cats and hens. In another town a baker's oven served, ad interim, as a goose pen. In many places bakeries were found in close proximity to the un tauitary appurtenances of tho house. Due baker admitted that his Moor and vats were scrubbed only on;e a year. Fearful Stuto of Affairs LIMA, Peru. Further details re ceived hero from Valparaiso Bhow that out of lorty employes of tho telephone company there thirty ';ight were killed. When the house of President-elect Montt collapsed his wifo fell from the balcony into tho street, and bandits who were passing cut off her ears and lingers lo rob her of her" jewelry. She was taken in a dying state on board the Chilean warship O'Higgins, Among tho dead at Valparaiso is Fedcrico Varclln, tho famous capi lalist and politician. Considerable alarm is felt hero, in Hew of the conditions in Chile, from S'here no food supplies are coming ;o Peru and tho latter country does not produce suliicent for the use of itB inhabitants. Therefore, partial starvation, at least, it is feared, faces the middle and poorer classes jf the Peruvian population. m mmtm iiiiimwOTUMBirwimmmnnMan i nwiiimim STEAMER GOES ASHORE MANCHUKIA FAST ON UOUKS OF HAWAII A' INLANDS Sen Smooth rind Will I'l-olmhty bo Tukcn OfT-llopo Unit llotit Out Ho Kf flnntcd Toduy lit High Tide HONOLULU,.

An oiiicer who has come ashore expressed tho opinion that the vessel can be floated at high tide. There is no danger of any loss ol life, but it is feared that tiu steamer will bo seriously damaged. A large crowd of natives is on tho bore at Waimanalo watching tho Manchuria. The passengers can be seen crowding the decks, and it. is believed they may bo landed there and brought overland to Honolulu. The sea at present is smooth. One report circulated is that tho watch on the steamer mistook Rabbit island for Molokai island, and the theory is advanced that it is possible, the recent umitual tidal phenomena and currents attributed to the Val pariso earthquake, may have effected tho course of the vessel miles oIT the -oorso from the regular route between Ae.hu and Molokai. It was total darkness when the Manchuria struck tho rocks, but there was no panic on board.

A number of heroic rescues of imperilled swimmers were made and h' educed what otherwise would in. been a much larger death list. Three persons wero drowned in a group near Manhattan beach in a manner that could not be ascertained and the police of Coney island are conducting an investiga tion. Tho only eye-witness to tho drowning disappeared. The victims in this instnnco were Morris Grosse, Martin Anderson and an unknown bather about twenty years of age. Harold Sellers, twenty-five years of age, was drowned while diving with his father from a launch in Jamaica bay. Thb father dived frantically in the hope of rescuing his son and con tinued to plunge into tho water until he became unconscious from exhaus tion and was with difficulty rescued and resuscitated. William O'Keefe, twenty-four years of ago, was drowned in Gravesend hay, becoming exhausted while swim ming far from the shore. John Fisinksi, nine years old of Jersey City, was drowned while swimming in tho Hudson river. William Hill, twenty-six years old, or Long Island City, was swimming in tho East river when lie became ill and went down before rescuers could reach him. Tho bodies of two unknown men wore found floating in the East river. One was supposed to be tho captain of a sand barge moored nearby. Albert Haggenborn, twenty-six years old, was instantly killed when ho dived from a balcony twenty feet high Jnto live feet of water in the swimming tank at n pleasure resr?5 in Coney Island.

Rafael Montnlvn, secretary of' public work?, to be in direct charge of all military operations against the insurgents. President Palma also decreed the increase of rural guards to four thoirand, the nipnb?r con templated in the bill introduced at the last session of eongioss. Many men who served as officers in the Cuban revolutions against Spain visited or telegraphed to President Palma tendering him their services for tho t-uppression of the insur rection. A special train took 100 rural guards from Santa Cla-a and fifty nrtillery men from Havanna to Pinar del Rio. Not even tho railroad ollicials havo been informed of the precise point of disembarkution of thc.io forces. I'lnnr dot ICIo Their Ohjeotlvo It is evident that the Pinar del Rio insurgents are concentrating in tho vicinity of tho city of Pinar del Rio intent on occupying it for their headquarters. Both the government ami Western rnilwny telegraph wires wcr cut between ConsMacion del Stir and Pinar del Rio fnr foveral hours. Finally a guarded train took work men from Pinar del Rio and repaired the lines. The workmen wore not molested, but it. is expected that the telegraph wires will bo cut ng-iin. The telephone wires in that region were cut. Numberless rumors are 11 Urn t. of fighting in the western pari, of the province of Havanna. but the only facts that have materialized are that Bandera's band which ha been in creased 10 seventy, while proceeding near tho railway between Gimmijay and San Antonio de Los Bancs, en countered eight rural guards who im mediately surrendered, were dis armed and let go. Other smaller bands havo gone out in that vicinity and will probably concentrate with Bandera's force. The latter has at tacked and taken rifles, stores and stolen mill's and horses at pleasure. The baud stopped ono railway train and shot an automobile driver. Elwnod SIiooIh lllm-elf BEATRIOK, Nebr.-Harry Elwood, a young man seventeen years of ago, employed on tiie Charles Lewis farm, two and a half miles south of this city, committed suicide by shooting himsolf in tho right temple with a thirty-two caliber revolver. He had got up after being called by his em ployer and partially dressed when he committed tho rash act. Mrs. Lewis, Iiear ng t he report of tiie gun, called Mr. Lewis, who on entering young Elwood 's room found him stretched across tho bed whoro ho had fallen, with the blood flowing from tiie wound in the side of this head. He only breathed a few times after lie entered the room, and thu coroner, J. Q. Reed pnd Undertaker Scott were immediately summoned, along witli Dr. Studely. Tho pironts of the young man who live in this city were also summoned. Young Elwood had been in the city until annut midnight visiting a young lady friend and returned to tho Lewis farm after that. He parted with his lady ;;;:: upon tho most friendly terms and it is difficult to give any cause for his rash act. Ho had not been at his own home lor about three months some differences having arisen over his parents draw ing his wages and their objection to his keeping company with any young lady. These things had preyed upon iiis mind and lie had threatened tc destroy himself several times when subject to morose periods. Mr. Lewis said ho had noticed that he hud not been in his normal condition for t few weeks and now thinks his mind had become effected by his imaginary troubles. Young Elwood was an exemplary young man and had a host of friends who were shocked at hii deed. At the inquest tho jury found that he committed the tct while temporarily deranged, NEBRASKA NOTES A move is on foot to organhec bank at Ellis. .
