AFTER LADRONES
MILITARY AND CIVIL AUTHORI
TIES UNITE AGAINST THEM.
BRICANDSTERRORIZE PROVINCES
Even Manila is Not Free from Depre
dations of Armed Guerrillas Number
ing Many Hundreds Who Live in
Mountains.
MANILA. —The government Iq
adopting vigorous measures to sup
press the ladrones in the provinces of
Cavite, Rizal and Bulacan. A zone
embracing these provinces and sur
rounding Mailt is the scene of con
stant petty disorders. Several armed
bands, some of them numbering 200,
are operating in the district and have
committed various depredations, aft
erward finding a safe refuge in the
mountains.
The government intends to employ
the military to suppress these brig
ands, and it is probable they will be
requested to protect the more import
ant towns, while the constabulary
conducts the field operations.
It is thought that martial law in a
modified form will be declared and
the privilege of the writ of habeas
corpus suspended in Cavite province,
which has been the home of ladrones
for ages.
Military control of Cavite province
is not contemplated. It is intended
that the military and civil authorities
shall work in conjunction, the belief
being held that advantage has been
taken of the complete inactivity of
the soldiers in some parts of the is
land, and it is thought that the use
of the army by the civil authorities
will have a beneficial effect.
The vigorous campaign against la
drones conducted by volunteers in
Bulacan province has resulted in driv
ing many refugee bandits into Rizal,
where the campaign is now opening.
General Davis is co-operating with
Governor Taft. He has strengthened
the garrisons in Rizal and is support
ing and assisting the native constab
ulary, which is now afield. The oper
k ations in Cavite province will com
mence shortly.
CLEW TO TRAIN ROBBERY.
Twenty Envelopes Taken from Oma
ha to Chicago Are Found.
WABASH — Twenty envelopes
which had apparently been used by
an express company to ship $18,000
from Omaha to Chicago over the Bur
lington were found on a saw mill car
rier at Treats Friday. The seals
had been recently broken.
They bore date of August 19, and
it is supposed by the Wabash agent,
to whom they were turned over, that
they had been rifled of their contents
by. men who robbed the train.
It is thought the criminal entered
the mill during the night, as the en
velopes wrere not on the carrier the
day before.
Shot Down by Burglars.
POMEROY, O.—Harry Allemang,
who pitched in the Southern league
this season and who has signed with
the Cincinnati team for the coming
year, was shot and mortally wounded
at Mason, W. Va., his homo early
Sunday. Allemang had been out with
friends and was returning home. He
found burglars at work in the post
office. A sentry on the outside order
ed Allemang to halt. No attention
was paid to the command and the
sentry fired upon Allemang, the bul
let entering his back and lodging in
the left lung. When Allemang had
fallen to the ground the robbers took
$980 from him.
Portfolio for Mr. Sagasta.
MADRID—As a result of a prolong
ed cabinet council meeting, held to
discuss the recent attacks made upon
the government b" leaders of the op
position, an official note issued Sun
day says the ministers are ready to
place their portfolio at the disposal of
Fremier Sagasta, if this step is neces
sary, and that they have unanimously
decided to give the premier full power
to act as he considers best in the in
terests of the country and his party.
Premier Sagasta is to have an audi
ence with King Alfonso tomorrow at
noon. It is expected that a crisis
and the reconstruction of the minis
try are imminent.
Clerks in the Bank of Montreal now
get a new degree—B. F.—Bachelor of
Finance.
TREATY SEEMS LIKELY NOW.
Cuba Wants Fifty Per Cent Rebate
on Sugar and Tobacco.
WASHINGTON.—Cuba not having
returned the draft of the treaty pro
posed by the United States, officials
here are officially ignorant of the na
ture of the changes the Cubans de
sire.
Of course they are known to be con
nected with the increase of the rebate
to be allowed on Cuban sugar and to
bacco and there are indications that
the administration mny be willing to
yield slightly on this point if no un
seasonable delay is exhibited in the
negotiations.
The rebate proposed in the original
convention is 20 per cent and it Is
gathered that the Cubans want 50
per cent. This rate cannot be allow
ed in view of the belief that congress
would certainly not sanction such a
cut in duties, but between these fig
ures there is so wide a margin that
there is room for compromise.
The coaling station matter is. for
the time being, held in abeyance. The
1,000 tons of coal belonging to the
United States navy now laying in a
warehouse at Triscornia is being di
minished according to the needs of the
navy in gulf waters, so that the Cu
ban complaint of the existence of an
American naval station in Havana har
bor is adjusting itself without fric
tion and, indeed, it is said the mat
ter has not been officially mentioned
lately.
MORE RAILROADS FOR LUZON.
English Syndicate Makes Application
for the Franchise.
MANILA.—The English syndicate
which operates the Manila-Dagupan
railroad has applied for a franchise
to construct a railroad from Guiguin
to, province of Bulacan, to Cabanua
tan, province of Nueva Eouija. The
syndicate contemplates later the ex
tension of the road to Appari, on the
north coast of Luzon. It wants the
government to grant a right-of-way
and to make certain tariff taxes and
concessions for a term of years.
The commission is preparing to en
act a railroad law, and it will not
grant the franchise applied for by the
English syndicate unless Americans
have had a chance to examine the line
of the proposed road and submit pro
posals. The line to Appari will be
part of the future Luzon trunk line,
and the granting of a franchise for
its construction is, therefore, a matter
of importance.
COLIMA VOLCANO IS ACTIVE.
People of Mexico Fleeing from the
Burning Mountain.
ATLANTA, Ga.—A special to the
Constitution from Guadalajara, Mex
ico. says: An eruption of Colima vol
cano is threatened and the people liv
ing in the valleys at the base of the
mountain are fleeing to Manzanilo and
other points of safety. A dense vol
ume of smoke has been pouring from
the crater for several days, and dur
ing the last forty-eight hours deep
rumbling and sharp reports have cores
from the interior of the volcano.
It is reported that an order has been
issued to suspend construction tempo
rarily on the Colima extension of the
Mexican Central railroad, as the na
tive laborers cannot be induced to
work so near the volcano.
Kindness Wins a Fortune.
HIAWATHA, Kan.—Hiram Beverly,
an old man who recently died at Se
attle, Wash., left an estate worth $1,
000,000 to Lizzie Boyce or this county,
because she had shown him kindness
when he was in sore need years ago.
He did not know the girl’s address and
his attorney has written to a paper
here in the hope of finding the young
woman. Lizzie Boyce Is the 24-year
old daughter of Elijah Boyce, a farmer
who lives a few miles north of Hia
watha. Miss Boyce took the news of
her inheritance very calmly, stating
that she would believe it when she saw
the money or its equivalent.
Kitchener Opens a College.
CAIRO, Egypt — Lord Kitchener,
who is in Cairo on his way to India,
formally opened the new Gordon col
lege here Sunday in the presence of a
number of notable persons. He deliv
ered a long speech in which he dwelt
on the progress of the Soudan and ita
prospects.

No Foreign Ships There.
MELBOURNE—The commonwealth
government is preparing a bill to ex
clude foreign owned ships from the
| Australian coastwise service.
AS TO NEBRASKA
MICKEY’S MAJORITY WILL BE
ABOUT FIVE THOUSAND.
MOST OF THE COUNTIES REPORT
Practically Complete Returns from tho
Congressional Districts Show Heavy
Republican Gains—Thompson Con
gratulates Gov. Mickey.
OMAHA—The World-Herald saya:
Complete returns from all but one
county and sixty-five scattering pre
cincts place Mickex’s majority for gov
ernor at 5,533. The vote stands: Mick
ey, 94,521; Thompson, 88,988. The one
county unreported is McPherson,
whic h in 1900 cast fifty-four votes for
Poynter and sixty-nine for Dietrich.
Estimating that the sixty-five pre
cincts will cast approximately 7,000
votes, and dividing these on the basis
of 3,000 for Mickey and 3,400 for
Thompson, and figuring McPherson
the same as two years ago, the total
vote for governor will be just about
190,000, of which Mickey will have
about 98,100 and Thompson 92,300,
making the former's plurality 5,700.
Practically complete returns from
the congressional districts show heavy
republican gains in all districts but
the Second. In the First, Burkett
wins over Hanks by a majority of 5,
228, as compared with a majority of
2,901 in 1900.
In the Third Robinson’s majority of
175 over Hays in 1900 is converted
into an adverse majority, of 709 for
McCarthy. In the Fourth, where
Stark defeated Pope bv a majority of
597 in 1900, that veteran campaigner
is laid low by the silver-tongued Hin
shaw, who has a majority of 2,644.
In the Fifth, where Shallenberger de
feated Morlan by 409 votes in 1900,
the face of the returns gives Norris a
majority over Shallenberger of 128.
In the Sixth Moses Kinkaid defeats
Patrick Barry by a majority of 2,694,
after having been defeated by Ne
ville in 1900 by a majority of 209.
These figures show a net republican
gain in majorities of almost 10,000 in
the five districts, though both republi
can and fusion candidates poll a small
er vote than in 1900.
GRAND ISLAND—Hon. W. H.
Thompson sent the following tele
gram to Hon. J. H. Mickey.
‘‘Accept congratulations and my
best wishes. W. H. THOMPSON.'”
OSCEOLA—Governor-elect John H.
Mickey replied to Hon. W. H. Thomp
son's telegram as follows:
"Your congratulations received and
I thank you for your warm expres
sion of kindness, and sincerely hope
our cordial relations may continue.”
LINCOLN.—Governor-meet Mickey
was in Lincoln Friday and put in some
time visiting the state officers. He
called on Governor Savage and talked
some time with him concerning the
duties of the office, intimating that he
would be thankful for any pointers or
suggestions made to him.
“I haven’t much to say concerning
the result,” said Mr. Mickey. "Of
course I feel gratified at it and am
deeply thankful to the people for their
expression of confidence. It is a little
early to ask me to outline a policy,
for the truth is that I have been so
busy in the campaign that I have had
no time to give any thought to a pol
icy. As to the likelihood of sweeping
changes in state institutions, I am not
prepared to indicate what may occur,
but I will say that I know of some
places in which there will be no
changes effected by me.”
TO ABIDE BY THE RESULT.
Individual Operators Agree to Accept
Finding of Commission.
WASHINGTON—Colonel Carroll D.
Wright and General John M. Wilson,
members of the anthracite coal strike
commission, had a brief interview
with the president Friday.
They reported that the individual
bperators in the anthracite regJbn had
agreed by abide by the findings of the
commission and had so notified Judge
Gray, the chairman.
President Roosevelt was particu
larly pleased at this information, as
>it tended materially to simplify the
problem which the commission has tc
solve.
The commissioners explained in
some detail their work up to this time.
The president expressed his gratifica
tion that the work had been satisfac
tory to those engaged in it
TO TAKE FEDERALS’ SIDE.
Senator Spooner to Ask Official Inves
tigation of Porto Rico Election.
MADISON, Wis.—Senator John C.
Spooner has decided to call President
Roosevelt's attention to the reports
of political irregularities or outrages
in Porto Rbo and will probably ask
that an official investigation be made.
Senator Spooner left for Washing
ton Sunday night, having been called
by the president for a conference on
the coming message to congress.
Colonel George W. Bird of this city,
father of Hobart S. Bird, editor of the
San Juan News, persuaded the senator
to take the matter up. He laid before
him'evidence tending to prove that
certain prominent members of the fed
eral party were being maliciously per
secuted and prosecuted for their polit
ical activity.
It is alleged that during the cam
paign that ended last Tuesday a cer
tain element of the party opposing
the federalists resorted to every means
of intimidation and in some instances
even to physical violence to break up
their political metings and suppress
their political activity. It is also al
leged that throats were freely made
against the lives of the federalists
should they have the temerity to go
to the polls and attempt to vote.
HAY TAKEN TO TASK.
Rabbi Fruskopf Criticises His Note to
the European Powers.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Rabbi Jo
seph Kruskopf, D. D., of the Reform
Congregational Keneseth Israel, a lead
ing Hebrew of this city, and one of
the best known Hebrew clergymen in
the east, Sunday delivered a sermon
entitled, “Secretary Hay and the Rou
manian Jew,” in which he criticised
the note sent by the secretary to the
European powers on the question of
the Roumanian Jews. Dr. Krauskopf
said three months have passed since
the note was issued and the results
that were anticipated, have not yet
come to pa3s. Continuing, he said in
part:
"My want of faith in the success of
the laudable and well-intentioned effort
on the part of our honored secretary
was based on the note itself. The lar
ger part of the note, which I call the
self-protective, I felt from the start
invited failure for the United States
and disappointment for the Roumanian
Jews.”
MAKE VERY GRAVE CHARGES.
Men High in Russian Councils Ac
cused of Being in Plot.
SOFIA, Bulgaria—A sensation was
created Friday by the publication of
alleged fac similes of correspondence
relating to the organization of plots
against the late Premier Stambulotf
and the government, resulting in the
assassination of M. Stambuloff and
two other members of his ministry
July 15, 1895.
Friends of Michael Stavreff, alias
Halju, who was found guilty October
24 of the premier's murder and was
sentenced to be hanged, are responsi
ble for their publication. They claim
that Stavreff was only a tool.
According to the correspondence,
M. Ludkonsoff, the present minister
of the interior, is alleged to be direct
ly responsible for the organization of
the plot and holders of important
posts under the present government
are implicated.
NO ACTION TO BE TAKEN.
Officially, Quesada Knows Nothing of
Those Cuban Children.
WASHINGTON—So far as present
Intentions go it is not the intention
of Senor Quesada, the Cuban minister,
to take any action in connection with
the refusal of the New York immigra
tion officials to permit the admission
into the United States of the eleven
Cuban children from Santiago, who
were to be sent to a school at Point
Loma, Cal.
As a matter of fact, the case has
not come before Minister Quesada in
any official form whatever, but he has
interested himself in the welfare of
the children to the extent of instruct
ing the Cuban consul at New York to
see that they were properly cared foi
pending the disposition of the ques
tion of their admission to this country.
Cholera Rife in Manila.
MANILA—Cholera continues to be
Intermittent in different parts of the

cases is 105,000, and of deaths 67,000.
The actual number of cases exceeds
the recorded number by 20 per cent

are that Nahem S. Bachelder, re
publican. was elected over Henry F.
Hollis, democrat, by a plurality of at
least 10,000. There was a heavy
shrinkage from the vote of two years
ago. The legislature is republican in
both branches by large majorities, en
suring a republican successor to Sen

tion in congress and a democratic
legislature.

with the exception of sheriff and four
county commissioners. Healy, the re

feated by Barrett, democrat, by over
7,500 plurality. In the congressional
district Lorimer and Boutell were
elected, while Madden was defeated
by Marion Emerich.
MINNESOTA.
ST. PAUL.—With the receipt of
more nearly complete returns, the ma
jority of Governor Van Sant assumes
tremendous proportions. It is at least
50,000 and may go as high as 75,000]
a record breaking majority in Minne
sota for a gubernatorial candidate.
The governor has, apparently, run
considerably ahead of the balance of
the state ticket.
KANSAS.
TOPEKA.—Returns have been re
ceived from every part of the stato

tives, fourteen are from Arapahoe
county and their seats will be con
tested by the republicans on the
ground of frauds in registration and
at the election.
NORTH DAKOTA.
FARGO, N. D.—North Dakota has
gone republican by about the usual
majority, although Governor White

000. North Dakota elects two con
gressman at large this year, and both
of these are republicans.

It’s a pity no hotel ever thought of
advertising all the discomforts of a
home.
