Peter Nelson left his home near Lou isville July 17 about 10 o'clock and has not been seen or heard from since. Foul play is suspected , as he had a sum of money , between $75 and $90. The call for state university cata logues has exceeded the number of anv previous year. This leads to the belief that those attending -the uni versity during the coming year will be larger than ever before and will reach 2,000 at least The new build ing will permit a much larger attend ance , as the facilities will be much more numerous. Two children of Mr. and Mrs. Ehme Wallman. who live ten miles north east of Beatrice , were burned to death and two more are not expected to live. After dinner the parents went to a neighbor's to spend the afternoon , leaving five children at home alone. About 3 o'clock they saw Irom where they were that there was a fire on their place and hurriedly started home only to find on reaching there that their home was then almost entirely destroyed by fire. The bady. 2 years old , was asleep in a rocking chair and was totally consumed. W. Van Boenins , a farmer riving near Glenville , in the southeastern part of Adams county , while returnin home was accidentally thrown from his buggy seat , his foot catchinng in such a way as to drag his head and shoulders on the -ground , being unable to loosen himself or stop the team. He was dragged for nearly a mile until the team stopped at tne barn , when he was discovered by his son. He was in an unconscious condition , his skull being fractured and the skin torn from his back and head. He died without recovering consciousness. C. B. Diehl , a prominent merchant of Button , met with a serious accident w ile helping to capture two men who had burglarized his store. The uurg- lars were located at Wray , Colo. , and Mr. Diehl went to identify the stolen goods and capture the thieves. When the latter recognized Diehl they started - ed to run. Diehl drew his gun and started in pursuit , and in crossing a sidewalk fell. His revolver , a 41-cali- ber , was discharged , the ball entering his left knee. He was taken to the hospital at McCook for medical treat ment. The thieves were subsequently captured.

He leased in McPherson county G,120 acres and in Arthur coun ty 13,760 acres , receiving therefor a bonus of $2,295 in addition to the reg ular rental. This land will be largely used by stockmen as a nucleus for their ranches. The commissioner ex pects that a great deal more of the land will be leased in the near future , as many have signified their intention of taking it as soon as they can go up on the land. During the past year , says the Nor folk News , Nebraska farmers have paid off more than $40,000,000 worth of indebtedness. George Hawkins of Du Bois , Paw nee county , was held up by two tramps who approached him on the road and ordered him to throw up his hands. Hawkins refused to obey the com mand of the outlaws , whereupon they attacked him. In the melee the coat , vest and shirt of Hawkins were torn from his person.

WASHINGTON , Aug. 1. News of the arrival of Major General Wesley Mer ritt at Cavite , was received here this morning in the following cablegram : HONG KONG , July 30. Adjutant General United States Army , Wash ington. Cavite , July 25. Arrived to day about 12. Health of commands good. Remainder of fleet about four days in rear. All troops assigned me will probably be needed. Merritt , major general commanding. The same news reached the Navy department in this dispatch from Ad miral Dewey : "CAVITE , July 2 ; " . Secretary of the Navy : Merritt arrived yesterday on the Newport. The remainder of the expedition is expected within the next few days. Dewey. " General Merritt sailed from San Francisco June 29 on the swift trans port Newport with 800 officers and men. The third expedition of 4,200 men sailed the two previous days , the Newport overtaking them at Honolulu. The Newport was armed with six Gattling guns and carried , besides , the Astor battery and Batteries II and K of the Third artillery. Detachments from the signal and hospital corps were also on boaad. Before leaving America General Merritt prepaped a proclamation to be issued on his arrival. It is in Spanish and announces that he comes to free the people of the islands and that they will be granted the fullest liberty com patible with the preservation of law. The Newport carried 85,000,000 to be used for the payment of troops. The first expedition , with 2,501 men under General Anderson , arrived at Cavite July 3. The second , with 3.515 officers and men , sailed June 15. Its safe arrival was reported ten days ago. General Merritt will have under him , when the rest of this fleet arrives , 11,010 men. MANILA , July 25 , via Hong Kong. The Spaniards are gradually realizing that Spain has not been victorious.that the expected reinforcements are not coming and that the contest is utterly hopeless. The insurgents are in over whelming numbers and the Spaniards can only obtain the bare necessaries of life. life.Only Only a fortnight ago Spanish nation al pride was rampant , but it is now merging into indignation at Spain's feebleness. AVhile the officers will never surrender without a fight , they will jump at the first honorable oppor tunity to surrender. They fear na tional disgrace too much to yield with out a fight. The fighting in the suburbs is desul tory and the Americans are idle. Thi s has given rise to a report that they had determined to suspend operations until September , and by that time peace will probably be concluded. Then , it is asserted here , the Ameri cans may permanently annex the Car oline islands and the Ladrone islands and possibly abandon the Philippines with the exception of keeping a coal ing station here. Although the insurgents have re doubled their efforts they have hither to been unable to capture the citadel. On the other hand , the Spaniards are not able to re-establish their suzerian- ty- Under the circumstances it seems evident that somebody must interfere in the name of humanity. Some insurgent shells have been thrown into tne citadel , but they do not appear to have done much damage. The natives are reported to be starv ing by thousands and Europeans are also hard pressed for food. FIVE SUFFOCATED IN A FIRE , TIio Upsetting of a Lamp Destroyed a San Francisco Lodging House.

Horatio S. Ru bens , counsel of the Cuban junta , in an interview said that the reason Spain made peace proposals at this time was that Havana could not hold out much longer. "I am advised , " said Mr. Rubens , "that Havana's food supply is sufficient for only about two weeks more. There are 200,000 civilians in the city and from 50,000 to (50.000 ( soldiers. Only two steamers have succeeded in running- the block ade , and their cargoes will not go very far among 250,000. Madrid has been notilled that Havana's condition is be coming desperate , and with that in view and also with the purpose of do ing something before General Miles had invaded Porto Rico or Manila had fallen , the peace proposals were made. "They knew very well in Madrid that Porto Rioo can not effectively re sist Miles , and that the surrender of Manila Js only a question of days. Therefore , they chose this us a fitting time to negotiate for terms of peace , assuming , of course , that the United States would stop fighting at once and that the weakness of Spain would not be so completely revealed as it would be later.

Dewey Cables That the Insurgents Will Have to Be Fought , CABINET ISSUES A STATEMENT The Cablegram Influenced the Decision of the Peace Proposals "Will Tiiko 150,000 Soldiers to Cope \VIth the Insurgents They Arc Get ting Hold and Defiant Toward Undo Sain. WASHINGTON , Aug. 1. A dispatch received from Admiral Dewey an nounces that , Aguinaldo has assumed a bold attitude of defiance arid that it will take a large force from this coun try to subdue the insurgents. While the cabinet was in session a cablegram from Admiral Dewey was brought in. It announced the arrival of Major General Merritt and the ex pedition with him at Manila , but graphically painted the uncertainties as to the future there. The dispatch , which has not been made public , save in its unimportant feature , largely guided the cabinet in the disposition of the Philippine problem. Without mincing his words , Admiral Dewey announced that Aguinaldo had assumed a bold attitude of defiance and that there were strong indications that the Phillippine insurgents them selves would have to be fought. Based on this depiction of the gravity of the situation there , it would take 150,000 i GEN. AGUINALDO. soldiers from this country to cope with the insurgents throughout all the isl ands. The deferment of final disposi tion of the Philippine problem was based on substantially the following grounds : First , that the United States has no satisfactory knowledge of existing conditions there. Second , that nothing is known of what obligations were incurred as be tween the United States forces and the Philippine insurgents. Third , the present definite attitude of the insurgents is unknown. Fourth , the extent to which Agui naldo consols the islands of the Philipine group is iinknown. Fifth , incident to the foregoing , it is not known what would have to be done by this government in subjugating the insurgent forces , the Spanish and the natives.

WASHINGTON , July 30. It was stated last night in a high diplomatic quar' ter , in such manner as to give semi1 official character to the expression , that if American control or supervis ion of the Philippines was an indis- pensabla condition laid down as the basis for peace negotiations it was practically certain the Spanish govern * inent would not accede to this condi' tion , but would determine rather to continue the war. As to the other peace conditions they do not present any insurmountable bar rier to the speedy restoration of peace , and while there is no authority for saying that Spain would accept these terms and retire from Cxiba and Porto Rico , there is every indication that she would yield rather than con- timie a disastrous war. Dut the future of the Philippines appears to be of as much concern to the Spanish govern ment as it is to the American cabinet ju&t now , and there is even greater insistence on the continuation of the Spanish sovereignty over this group than there is over the more valuable islands of Cuba and Porto Rico. HATES TO LOSE PORTO RICO , ' Are Unnecessarily Spain Thinks America's Terms necessarily Severe. LONDON , Aug. 1. The Madrid cor respondent of the Daily Mail says : The Spanish government will combat to the last against a cession of Porto Rico to the United States. It would much rather sacrifice one of the Phil ippine islands , contending that Porto Rico has always been loyal and out side the scope of war. QThe American reply is still anxiously awaited. Judging from press opinions anything beyond the cession of Cuba will be considered harsh and unjust. This is the unanimous feeling among even the strongest advocates of peace. CHARITY DEAD IN HAVANA , Even the "Wealthy Begin to Feel the Pangs of Hunger. KEY WIST , Aug. 1. Hunger is claiming many victims , both rich and poor , in Havana.
