NO CALL. I OK MOHK TKOOI'S.
Yellow news comes from tho Philip
pines in such a steady stream nowadays
that tho war department is not dis
posed to attach belief to anything but
official reports of the movements and
operations of the array, says the Times-
Herald. The public is also acquiring
the hnppy faculty of recognizing the
yellow brand of war rumors when they
see it.
On Friday one of the3e yellow re
ports sent from Washington contained
the sensational announcement that
General Otis had called for 50,000 more
troops for tho Philippines, and thai
the war department had sent orders to
all the recruiting stations to rush in
everybody who would serve in the in
fantry, cavalry orartillerv. The sit
uation, of course, was represented to be
dangerously critical for tho American
forces in tho Philippines unless re-en-fot
cements could be had without delay.
Tho story was a tissue of yellow
yarns. It is learned that mere is no
special activity in the enlistment of
men for serving in the regular army,
and that no rush orders of any kind
have been issued to recrui ting officers
On the contrary, it is learned from tho
department at Washington that sev
eral recruiting stations have been dis
continued. The figures also show that
recruting of tho regular army goes
steadily and quietly on, averaging from
o,000 to 0,000 per month, with very
slight fluctuations. The figures also
show that there is no difficulty in cet
ting enough recruits for the army as
long as there is a chance of active ser
vice During the months of May and June,
lS!(8,when it was necessary to put our
small army of 25,000 men upon tho au
thorized war strength, the energetic
recruting that followed raised the
number of recruits for tho two months
to a total of 18,911. In March, 1899,
the number also jumped to 8,361 to
supply the demand for more regulars
in the Philippines. With the excep
tion of these months the recruiting
has reached only the normal figures
each month. The army is now within
1,100 men of its authorized strength of
65,000 men, and has been selected
through rigid physical, mental and
moral examinations.giving tho govern
ment at this t ime the finest regular
army in the history of the republic.
NRHKASKA A BEET StUAK STATE.
More than-twenty-five years ago the
Bee ventured the prediction that Ne
braska was destined to become a beet
sugar-making etate, says the Bee. At
the time this prediction was made it
was regarded as visionary. The pre
diction has, however, been veiified.
Sugar beet culture and beet sugar
manufacture have long since passed
the experimental stage. In the face
of the annexation of Hawaii and the
Philippines and the occupation of
Cuba and inevitable competition of the
cane eugar countries a beet sugar fac
tory is now in procos9 of construction
at Ames that will duplicate the pro
duct of the Grand Island and Norfolk
factories, which were regarded as
equal to all the demands of Nebraska
beat sugar growers for some time to
come.and yet the industry in Nebraska
id in its infancy. The abundance of
uninvested capital affords assurance
of the multiplication at no distant day
of beet sugar mills in every section of
the etate and the establishment of at
lcHtt one greut refinery at Omaha that
will handle tho product of the mill
certain to bj erected on both Hides of
tho M'tHMiuri within a radiiM of 100
UlilOH.
Nebraska alone in capable of supply
ing U"" beet sugar factories cf the ca
pacity of Norfolk and Crand Inland.
While the United State ranks as the
heaviest sugar consuming country in
tho worlJ, its consumption has by no
means reached tho limit. On the con
trary the steady increase of population
keeps far ahead of production and im
portations of loet sugar from ( loi many,
Austria and other European countries
havo not been seriously affoetod by tho
developmentof tho beet sugar Industry.
Nebraska alon3 consumes about 40,(i()0
tons cf sugar per annum, which at tho
lowest wholesalo price would aggro-
gato fully 2,.r)(lO,(K!0.
Nebraska's beet sugar product up to
date has not supplied more than one-
third of the demand of its own pooplo,
when in fact it could havo not merely
supplied all of its own demand, but it
might havo exported many millions of
dollars worth of sugar toother section
and correspondingly enhanced tho
valuo of its farming lands.
MATKKIAI, Mill ASsKSSOKS
Ex-Secretary J. Sterling Mortou
tells us in the Conservative that as
sessors should always bo selected with
great care from non-proporty holders,
says the Dee. Mr. Morton's contention
is that tho men who own neither real
estate nor personal property are best
qualified always for valuing the prop
erty of others.
From the theoretical standpoint Mr.
Morton may bo eminently correct, but
from the practical view tho idea of
employing thriftless men who have
not saved up a dollar or men who are
always out of luck bee iu-o they do tho
wrong thing at tho right time will
scarcely cjmraend itself as furnishing
the best material for a competent, con
scientious, unpurchasable assessor. It
is p jssiible that a few rare specimens of
persons who own neither real estate
nor personal property, yet possessing
special qualifications as tax assessors,
may be found in and about Nebraska
City, but they are scarcer than hen 'a
teeth in and about Omaha.
Any number of people in this city
own neither real estate nor per sonal
property, but the experiments with
this class have proved dismal failures,
chiefly because they want to become
property owners and are not particular
whether they accumulate real estate
or tho much-despised gold standard
dollars. At any rate most of our as
sessors who have gone wrong are not
the men who undervalue real estate
and fail to take note of chattel prop
erty because they want to assess their
own propei ty way below its mat ket
val Lie.
Wo fully agrco with Mr. Morton
that asses-ors should be selected with
great care, but the property qualifica
tion is no bar to integrity. Oo the
contrary, an honest, upright, thrifty
man who has something laid by for
tho rainy season is certainly prefer
able to tho property less man who
scorns to work morn hours and days
than just enough to satisfy tho crav
ings of his nppetito.
The primary element of the honest
and efficient assessor must always be
integrity. A man who tries to live up
to his oath to tho best of his ability
and cannot bo tampered with either by
promises of money or by hope of po
litical preferment, is the kind of a m m
that can be best trusted with perform
ing the functions of asses-or, whether
he has property or no property.
INFORMATION ANl OPINION.
Thorn is Edison frequently has his
lunch served in his laboratory and is
as frequently distracted from catirg by
interest in his work. V hen this oc
cured the other day one of his assis
tants substituted an empty plato tor
hia chief's full one and the result was
that when Elison at last returned to
eat he cried out: "Why, my memory
is getting poorer every day! Here, I've
eaten my lunch and forgotten all about
it."
The ranks of the o'd veterans are
fast becoming; decimated, and in a few
years there will be none left to gather
around the camo lire and relate their
stories of army life. All honor to the
men who risked their lives that you
and I might breath the air of a free
and glorious country. They are loyal
to the Bag they followed in '61 and
their heads are in the right place.
The man who looks with a contemptu
ous smile upon the aged, and scarred
veteran as he, with trembling hands
opens the letter containing his monthly
stipend, a small pension as a reward
for duty well done, should cover his
fac-j in shame and seek some secluded
spot, and in his solitary lonelines?,ask
forgiveness for the mean things he has
said and thought of the preserver of
the country. Falls City Journal.
A number of returned Nebrask v sol-
dieis who were interviewed at San
Francisco by Mrs. Van Pelt do not sub
scribe to the lugubrious stories told by
some of the correspondents about the
climate of the Philippines. They say
that the troops have suffered mainly
because they have been obliged to fight
in the mud and water and under the
direct rays of the sun. Taking the
climate of the islands in its entirety
they consider it favorable ra'.her than
otherwise. The decision of a largo
number of the volunteers to remain in
the Philippines is comment enough on
their opinion of the future of the
country under the wise and benevolent
protection of the United States.

C00D HOPE F0a ARBITRATION.
-il!'i;tl Jiiiiil liivt'll t Story TliHt ;!"
iiiiiny Will Withhold Approval.
THE HAGUE, June 12. An author
itative coitradiction is given to the
report that there is grave danger of
tlie arbitration scheme' failing.
It is pointed out that, although Ger
uiany may hesitat to recognize the
principle, it has not yet raised any
if itial objections during the discussion.
i.OXDOX, June 12. The correspond
nt of the Times at The Hague sa3's:
"There is no sufficient reason as far
ts I can ascertain to anticipate the
niliire of the arbitration scheme. Ger-i-iuT's
objections may possibly have
'ern intimated to certain members of
:!iO conference, but even in that case
t svculd be premature to take a pessi
mistic view. If difficulties have arisen
th:y may yet be smoothed over. Even
so formidable a power as Germany
may well pause before assuming the
terrible responsibility of bringing
about the failure of the conference."
The -correspondent of the Daily News
at The ague says: I learn that Dr.
Zorn, the German delegate, spoke on
Friday against arbitration. When I
asked him for a copy of his speech I
got. a point blank refusal, Dr. Zorn
saying:
"All I can tell you is that Friday's
sitting was extreme' interesting and
that I presented Germany's objections
to the scheme for a permanent arbi
tration tribunal."
Notwithstanding this I am able to
send a full analysis of his speech. He
spoke slowly and with difficulty in
French. He asserted that he was in
structed to say that Germany could not
accept the principle of permanent arbi
tration embodied in Sir Julian Paunce
fote's draft. It objected, firstly, on
principle, and, seoondly, on grounds of
expediency.
He then proceeded to argue that it
was derogatory to a monarch's sov
ereignty and to a nation's indepen
dence. Arbitration agreed upon be
tween two nations for a narrowly de
fined object was one thing, and arbi
tration binding a nation for the un
knowable future was quite another. A
king, holding his title by divine right,
could not think of divesting himself of
an essential part of his sovereignty,
the right to shape the nation's course
at a critical time.
Dr. Zorn concluded his speech amid
painful silence.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, replying, said
he thought the objections of the Ger
mans showed a view which many
might not consider altogether modern.
"As to the doubts expressed regard
ing the fitness of the jiidge I have no
doubt," said Sir Julian, "that every
state would take pride in nominating
its best man."
It is believed that Dr. Zorn's Instruc
tions were sent under a misapprehen
sion, as some of his objections would
only apply to the older scheme super
seded by the British draft.
The correspondent of The Hague as
serts that at last Fridays meeting Dr.
Zorn opposed the arbitration scheme,
but adds that negotiations are pro
ceeding between the Hague and Berlin.
After a Jail-lireakr.
Sheriff Chery cf Wayne county was
in town Friday looking for a man
by the name of Allison. The sheriff
informed the local officers thft Allison
was wanted for grand larceny, and that
he had escaped from the county jail at
Wayne some time ago, and had been
traced to this place. Allison was in
town a few days ago and had talked to
Chief Slater, telling that officer that
he intended going to South Omaha
and try to get work in one of the pick
ing houses. Ho has not been seen
since. The Wayne county sheriff has
gone to Omaha and will make an effort
to capture his man there.

MANILA, June 12. At daybreak
Saturday a force of 4,.r0u men under
Generals Lawton, Wheaton and Oven
shine advanced from San I'edro Ma
cati, sweeping the country between
the bay of Manila and Bay lake, south
of Manila. By noon the country had
been cleared almost to l'aranaque.
The Americans lost two ofiicers
killed and twenty-one soldiers wound
ed. The rebels resisted desperately at
the stronger of their positions and left
fifty dead in the trenches. Many more
wounded were left behind by the rebels
in their retreat.
The heat during the day was over
powering and there were many pros
trations of American soldiers from
that cause.
General Lawtoh's force consisted of
two battalions each of tlie Twenty
first and Ninth infantry, six companies
of the Colorado volunteers and a de
tachment of artillery. The Nevada
cavalry was under General Wheaton
and the Thirteenth and Fourteenth
infantry, the Fourth cavalry and a de
tachment of light artillery were under
General Ovenshine.
It was scarcely dawn when the
troops in a long, silent procession,
wound up the hillside behind the
American trenches and formed a skir
mish line. Concealed in the jungle
the advance rebel outposts fired a few
shots before being seen.
The opposing forces occupied two
ranges of crescent-shaped hills.
The artillery, the Colorado infantry
and the Nevada cavalry swung around
the hill top on the left and opened the
battle at 0:30. The rebels made no
response from the hills and the Colo
rado men cautiously advanced through
the thick grass until they were con
fronted by a trench, from which a few
weak volleys were fired. A spirited
response fallowed and a charge into
the trench found it to deserted.
In Hie meantime a part of the Thir
teenth and Fourteenth regiments
formed In skirmish line, extending a
mile to the right, and supported by
the rest of the regiments swept down
the valley and up the hillside toward
another trench. Approaching through
the moras seriously hampered the
Fourteenth and the rebels, taking ad
vantage of this, poured a galling fire
upon them fr thirty minutes. The
Fourteenth was twice compelled to
withdraw for the purpose of finding a
safe crossing in the swamp. Finally,
the trench was enfiladed or bothfianks.
The rebels fled to the woods and sus-
Itaincd severe loss.
General Lawton then pushed his en
tire command south through the cen
ter of the isthmus until a few miles
south of Parannaque, when he swung
around and halted on account of the
heat.
During the march Americans were
prostrated on all sides, owing to lark
of water and exposure to the sun. It
Is estimated that forty per cent of the
troops were exhausted.
The double-turreted monitor Mo
nadnock and three other vessels shell
ed Paranaque this morning and the
rebels promptly evacuated the place.
FORCES BARRIAS TO LEAVE.
gon of Former President of Guatemala
an Exile.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 12. Anto
nio Barrios, leader of the liberal party
of Guatemala, whose followers are
striving to place him in the presiden
tial chair now occupied by Manuel
Estrada Cabera, was a passenger on
the steamer San Jose, from Panama.
He is a son of the late General Rufino
Barrios, founder of the liberal party of
Guatemala, whose t-m as president
covered a period of fourteen years.
Senor Barrios, while admitting that
his residence in San Francisco was
due to political difference between his
sympathizers and the party in power,
would not acknowledge that he was
forced to flee from his country. Oth
er passengers, however, who arrived
by the same steamer, say that not only
was he compelled to take his depar
ture, but President Cabera allowed
him only ten days to do so. They
say also that Guatemala is on the
verge of a revolution, which will pro
bably result in the downfall of the Ca
bera government to the gain of the
liberals, who are almost unanimous in
their choice of Antonio Barrios for
president.
A Farewell Farty
Quite a number of the girl friends ( f
Miss Elizabeth D vey gathered at the
home of Mrs. Nel'ie Agnew Saturday
to en joy a farewell party in honor of
the former. The girls rode around
town in a carryall viewing the sights
until quite a late hour, after which
they went to the beautiful Agnew
residence. Light refreshments were
served and dancing was indulged in.
After bidding their friend Miss Eliza
beth Cod-speed in her long journey to
England the young folks took their
departure.
Miss Dovey accompanied by her
mother and little 6ister, departed yes
terday afternoon for New York, and
will sail for London, Eng., from that
