LINCOLN, Sent. 20. (Special.) The re
cent destruction of the Hospital for Insane
at Norfolk has caused members of the State
Hoard of 1'ubllc Lands and DulldlnKS to
view with concern the scant fire protection
at several of the state Institutions. At
the penitentiary the condition Is even worse
than existing at Norfolk before the (Ire.
The water supply Is no more than luise
trough for every day use and It Is esti
mated that In case of a fire the wells would
be pumped dry In less than fifteen minutes.
Hotter protection Is found at other atnto
buildings, but the board Is of the opinion
tLot there Is large room for Improvement
"We Intend to put In some new wells
at the penitentiary," said a member of
the board. "We have Investigated the water
supply at that Institution and find that It'
la dangerously small. There arc no funds
available for the purpose, but vc will prob
ably do as will be necessary In the case
of tho Norfolk hospital advertise for bids
ocd let the contractor look to tho legisla
ture; for his compensation. The pond at
the penitentiary Is dry and the wells are
rapidly filling up with sand. Wo think
I will bo necessary to sink pipe wells for
the others have, been tried ami found un
successful." Nearly all legislatures In rocent years
made appropriations for Improving tho
water system at the penitentiary, but
tinder thu fusion management the money
was recklessly squandered and tho available
supply of water Is smaller now than It was
six yeara ago. Tho Hoard of Public Lands
nr.d Hulldlngn will probably take some
action thls-wcck In regard to an Immediate
Improvement.

The representative of one Omaha brewery
made formal application for a rebate on
tho Internal revenue paid Jpon beer under
tho terms of the war revenue act of 1S9S,
which was amended last year, clalmlnn that
under tho provisions for the rebate to cl
garmnkcrs for the difference in the revenue
collected under the old law on cigars not
sold nnd that levied at the present time
should apply with equal effect to browers,
although they are not mentioned In the act.
When the claim wns received the local
collector of Internal revenue wns In doubt
as to thu course to pursue, so he wrote to
lh emnmlilnnne fnr Iti.trnellnn. The re.
ply of tho commissioner leads the local col
lector to believe that there will be some
provisions made for the payment of this
rebate, ns he was Instructed to receive all
such claims and forward them to the com
missioner for consideration. Under the
terms of the amendment to the war revenue
act, passed in 11)00, the clgarmakers were
allowed rebates on thu tax paid on cigars i
uot eold ut the tlmo the amendment went
Into effect, but the last congress failed to
make nn npproprlntlon to pay these rebates,
so that all claims nre being filed ns soon as
proof Is complete nnd will be paid ns soon
as the money is available While no pro
vision has been made for the brewers, tliey
can receive their rebates an soon as the
clgarmakers do if they can succeed in get

and a strong cflort. It Is understood, will

It Is reported that a change will be made
In tho regulations provided for the redemp

amendments provided for this purpose have
proven so cumbersome, that It has been found

PRETORIA. Sept. 29. A ramphlet has
been published hero under Lord Kitchener's
upervlsloti, containing notlco of the por-
jnnont banishment of scvernl Hoer pris
oners captured recently, and a letter from
Acting President Schlnk-Ilcrger, received
September 5, Lord Kltchenor promised to
send tho Schlnk-Hergcr letter to the Im
perial government, which, he says, reclpro-
ates the Boer statesman's desire for peace.
Lord Kitchener then proceeds to explain
that the responsibility for tho war rests
with the burghers "whose Invasion of un
protected British territory opened tho sad
dest page in South African history. Ho
quotes a letter from a member of tho
Volksrnad to a member of the Capo Colony
assembly, declaring that tho tlmo Is rlno
to drive the English from South Africa.
In conclusion Iord Kitchener declares
that, having annexed the two republics
to Great Britain, he ennnot br,enk faith with
tho pooplo who havo shown loyalty to the
new faith, nnd so far as clemency to tho
Capo rebels Is concerned, thlB Is tho co-
prerogatlvc of tho ruler, which must be
exercised with unfettered discretion.
A proclamation hns been Issued, providing
for tho snle of properties of burghers still

PARIS, Sept. 29. An Important -work
which throws light on the discovery of
America by Columbus hns been written by
Henry Vlgnnud, first sceretnry of tho United
States embassy here. It is In French and
will bo published In this city October 1.
Mr. Vlgnaud, who Is the vice president
of the Americanists' society of rnrls, has
made n life study of tho early history of
America.
In nn Interview with tho correspondent
of the Associated Press, Mr. Vlgnaud snld:
"Tho present work Is Intended to show
that for the last four centurlos we havo
been deceived by n fraud which hides from
us the real beginnings of Columbus' project
nnd that tho famous documents ascribed to
Toscanelll, the learned Florentine nstrono
mer, wero fabricated. I submit excellent
reasons for believing that Toscanelll never
wrote the letter of 1474 to King Alfonzo
of Portugal and never traced the chart
alleged to have accompanied It. Columbus
design was not founded on any sclcntlflo
bntls, but on posltlvo confirmation ns to
tho existence of lands to tho westwnrd,

MANILA, Sept. 29. Juan Cnrdona, who
until rccontly wns presldento of Oerona
province of Tnrlac, and who wns appointed
secretary of tho Tarlac provincial govern
ment, has been arrested on the c.hnrge Of
nccuslug people of crimes for the purpose
of extorting money from them. Moro than
fifty persons nssert that they have been
robbed by him In this way, somo drolnrlng
they hnvo even surrendered title deeds to
property.
Cnrdona had been considered ono of the
most rellnblo natives holding pro-American
views. An examination of his record shows
that for several years ho was a bandit and
thnt ho served two terms of Imprisonment,
aggiegatlng five years.
Tho municipal authorities of Manila have
passed an ordlnnnco doubling tho alio of
tho gntos of tho walled city In their part
of the fortifications. It Is possible that
the military authorities will object.
