There Is the same paucity of details re
garding the outbreak at Bhusha. in the Cau

to revolutionary cauaes. but to the Immem

and Tartars.
The situation at Bhusha had become so
tense thst the governor divided the quar

line" which neither faction was permitted

PRESIDENT PALMA FINALLY RELENTS
Arrest la Made lader Order laaued hy
General Wood When Isle of IMeea
Waa I nder Military Rule
of Americana.
tFrom g Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, July 29-(Speclal The
release of .Millie Brown, the pretty sunny
haired American girl, daughter of Ira A.
Brawn of Spencer, la., from the vile prison
on the Isle of Pines, conies In the nick of
time, tha State department having decided
to protest vigorously against her further
Impi Isonment and that of her fiance, Lewie
Giltner, and an American lawyer by the
name of Armstrong. These three Amer
icans, now residing on the lee of Pines,
ere Incarcerated In the same prison in
which Fenora Clsneros was confined for
awnile before she was taken to Havana
and from which she waa reacued by an
American newspaper man, formerly Wash
ington correspondent of the New York
Journal. Carl Deckar.
An American from the Isle of Pines, now
In Washington, describes Millie Brown as
a "pretty tow-headed girl" In love with
Lewis (illtner, who la a Cornell man and
a civil engineer practicing his profession
on the island. Miss Brown snd Mr. Giltner
saw a great deal of each other and. hav
ing mutual likes and dislikes, drifted to
gether and eventually sere affianced. tBut
as Olltner had to make a show of attend
ing to his duties as secretary of the Col urn -
! bin Land company, of which his sweet
heart's father was for a long time president
and Is at present a large stockholder, the
young people took up the study of tele
graphy and made such rapid progress that
they could carry on conversation In a
month by means nf finger taps on the
backs of their chairs as they sat on the
veranda of the Brown home In the tro?l
cil evenings along with the rest of the
family.
Violation of Military Order.
Finally Giltner conceived the Idea of
erecting a telegraph line from hla home to
his sweetheart's and as the distance waa
less than a third of a mile the work was
accomplished In a few hours after he had
received the wire from Havana. The in
struments, however, had ticked but a few
tender messages when the alcalde, as the
governor of the island is termed, sent an
officer to Glltner's home and had the young
man arrested. Miss Brown being taken In
custody Inter In the day. The crime
alleged was the violation of the military
order Issued by Major General Wood, when
governor of Cubs, forbidding the erection
of a telephone or telegraph line without the
consent of the proper authorities.
In vain the Americans on the Island pro
tested thst the order waa not In force at
thla time, when Cuba Is an Independent ro
puhllc and no longer under the military
rule of the Americans. The Cubsn author
ities were deaf to explanations and when
the case was brought to trial the Cuban
(rial Judge Imposed a fine of S10" upon each
of the dffenders and sentenced them to a
jail, ,aod in Addition, they were
pay g fine of $18 for every day
the telegraph line remained up. Indigna
tion followed the arrest of Mr. Giltner and
Miss Brown and Immediately protests were
filed at the Btate department. The Amer
icana on the Isle of Pines, who purchased
land there on the opinion rendered hy the
then assistant secretary of war, George D.
Melklejohn of Nebraska, that the Isle of
Pines waa American territory, still cling
to that belief. It will be recalled that
Secretary Root later delivered an opinion
diametrically opposite to the Melklejohn
ukase that the Isle of Pines belonged to
Cuba and bad a treaty prepared to that
effect, which la still pending In the senate.
However, so great waa the Indignation
and so open and severe the criticism of
the authorities that President Palms finally
saw the Justnesa of Glltner's contention
that he had no knowledge of the law nor
was sny commerclsl business Intended to
be transacted over the line which he
erected thst he leaned a pardon to the
persona Imprisoned for a sentimental no
tion. Postofilre Inspector's Work.
"Some Incidents in the Life of a Post
office Inspector" Is the- title of a series of
articles designed for newspaper circulation
that Is being Issued from the office of the
postmaster general. Gaborlou, VIdocq and
Shirlock Holmes promise to be relegated
to the ranks of the hayseeds, judging
from the first two of the articles which
are written presumably for the purpose of
"boosting" the postofflce Inxpectlnn di
vision. The first of these thrilling tales
of the life of an Inspector under the Roose
velt administration contains a story of
how a carrier on a rural route In one of
the southern states was apprehended. A
test letter contained marked bllla was reg
istered at B . Alabama, addressed to
M , a discontinued office located on one
of tha routes from P , the office from
which the complaint emanated. The risk
of Inclosing money In teat lettera la fre
quently taken by postofflce insnectora h.n i
the chance of disposing of It in this par
ticular case was email. The following day
the postmaster at B advised the post
master at P that the registered letter
addressed to M had been erroneously
sent and requested its return. This was
done In order to give the postal authori
ties an opportunity to find out If the let
ter had been rifled. After requesting the
recall of the letter the inspectors visited a
little village called N which Is supplied
with mail by one of the rural carriers from '
P . The postmaster at N was an
honest old country man and agreed to as
sist In the detection of the guilty party.
An ordinary letter waa mailed with him ad!
dressed to a firm In Chicago In which were
Inclosed two 1 bills, two silver dollars and
a SO-cent piece, all bearing private marks.
In payment for a platol. An examination
of this letter after It passed through the
P office revealed the fact that it had
been tampered with. The paper money and
the M-cent piece were still in the letter,
but a II bill had been substituted for the
12 silver dollars, and the original letter had
been replaced by one advialng the ln
cloaure ot 13.60 instead of U SO.
The substituted letter was In the hsjid
wrltlng of the carrier on the route between
P and N . Then follows the story
of the apprehension of the carrier, with
lots of red fire thrown in to make it rat
tling good reading. When placed on trial
the carrier entered a plea of guilty and
was sentenced to imprisonment at hard
labor for two years.

added, however, that If Newfoundland at

and It would not be necessary to knock.
Earl Grey expressed the belief that St.

No instructions on candidates M
Last week witnessed four republican j
county conventions which added fifty-one
delegates to the list of those already
elected, making a total of , or nearly
one-half of the entire number which will
make up the state convention.
The only instructions for senator were
given to Edward Rosewater by - Wayne
county. Brown making no headway what
ever, in fact, losing at least one county
Madison which he had been cluliitlng.
The addition of Wayne's nine makes Rose
water's total of instructed delegates 107,
while Brown's remain stationary at 124. Of
the unlnstructed delegates In Madison and
Antelope, Rosewater Is conceded to have
far the best of It, while Cass county's
eighteen delegates are yet to be appointed
by Sheldon in the interest of his candidacy
for governor, so that they must for the
present go Into the column whose prefer
ence on senator la unknown. - Adding in
the estimated strength of the different
candidates from the unlnstructed delega

for Brown 164, with five Instructed for
Millard and fifty-nine scattering or un
known. Brown' Extravagant Claims.
The Brown managers are, of course, mak
ing all sorts of claims, which, however,
are unwarranted. They claim 13 in
structed votes for Brown by including
Thayer county's twelve. The Thayer county
convention adopted a resolution endorsing
Brown's work as attorney general and
commending him, but subsequently voted
down by a declajve majority a resolution
instructing the delegation for him. In
quiry In Thayer county develops the fact
that. the-delgaeo regard the rejection of
Brown Instructions as rescinding any pre
vious action and that they do not con
sider themselves Instructed. A number of
them are for Brown, but several also are
opposed to him and the delegate will In
all probability divide when It comes to
vote on United States senator.
In a statement of Brown's claims, made
by his managers In the Lincoln News last
week. Brown conceded Rosewater eighty
five of the unlnstructed votes, which Is a
dozen more than was claimed for Rose
water at that time, and Insisted that all
the rest, or slxty-njne, should be counted
for Brown, although It Is well known that
there is a scattering vote which neither
can yet count on at the start. By this
wholef.ale appropriation of unlnstructed
delegatea the Brown boosters had figured
up a total of 206 for him, and adding. In
their expectation from delegate to be
elected up to the end of next week, they
set his claims at 9. These figures are
Interesting only to the extent that they
show the wild speculation that is being In

Millard Oppose Instructions.
Notwithstanding his public announcement
that he would not abide by the action
of the convention, but would look to the
legislature for re-election, Senator Millard
is still exerting himself to prevent conven

stationery, of which the following is a
copy:

M0T0RMAN DOES WILD DANCE
Slta Doss on Cnrnetonr nnd Rat Rnna
Ip HI Tronaer'
Leg.
It was not long after midnight this
morning, and the neighborhood of Sixteenth
and Famam streets was quiet nd almost
deserted. A motorman and conductor from
the Harney street barns, who quit work
on the stroke of 12. stopped at the corner
to wait for a car to take them home.
None was In sight, so, tired and sleepy,
they sat themselves down on the curbstone
to rest their weary bones while waiting.
The motorninn especially showed signs of
extreme fatigue after hla day of hard
toil hauling Sabbath pleasure seekers about
by the hundreds. Lunch pall In hand he
nodded and dozed while his companion
watched.
Presently a police officer In plain clothes
Joined thent and also snt clown lo wslt for
a car. but his arrival did not disturb the
weary motorman. A few desultory remarks
passed between the officer and th con
ductor, but otherwise all remained still
and peaceful as before.
Suddenly a piercing cry of terror cut the
air and the policeman and conductor, their
hair nlmost on end. looked up at their
companion to see him lesp wildly Into the
air, clawing at his legs with his hands and
kicking with his feet, dancing, yelling and
snorting like a man attacked by countless
hornets.
The officer Jumped to his feet, convinced
the man must have gone suddenly Insane,
and tried to get some explanation out of
him for his conduct, but not a word did
he get. The mad contortions and halr
ralslng yells continued. An Indian in his
most diabolical dance could have produced
no more terrifying performance.
Then all of a sudden nil was still again.
The man ceaaed his prancing, the dust
settled about him And was still, the con
ductor was still, the officer was still all
was still In the vicinity for a minute ex
cept a big. black rat which ran awiftly
from the motorman's left foot and on
down the street, apparently most happy to
be free from the pant leg it had unwisely
chosen as a place of refuge.
It was then the turn of the conductor
and officer to make a noise. When they
saw the ugly rodent dart past they under
stood what had happened to create a wild
man scare a moment before, arid gave way
to unsympathetic roars of laughter. By
the time a car came along the motorman
had explained how he hod suddenly felt
the clawing animal on his leg, snd how It
had made Its way up as far as the tight
walatbelt, which it could not pass, and
had then turned abruptly and run back
the way It came. He said he will .alt on
curbstones at night no mora.
OFFICERS ONES TO BLAME
Employes of Indian Department,
Father gchell Say. Are at
Bottom of Trouble.
Rev. Joseph Bchell Is In the city from
Emerson. Epesklng of affairs on the Win
nebago reservation, he says:
'Mr. Binghouso of Tekamah has been
appointed special Inspector to ascertain the
specific Indian accounts aa claimed by the
speculators. Mr. Slnghouse Is with John
Alam and takes the Indian's part In an ap
parently conscientious way, since the graft
ers cordially despise him.
"Indian Commissioner Ijeupp Is said to
pay Mr. Binghouse 10 per cent of ths
amounts he cuts down in the speculator's
claims. Mr. Slnghouse has cut down as
much aa $1,600 in one single account. He
does not seem to spare the speculators and
Is not liable to be bought nor to be dis
missed, since Senator Millard and Con
gressman McCarthy's Influence in Wash
ington has declined.
"It is strange that Mr. Slnghouse has
no Jurisdiction to look Into the fraudulent
actions of the agent and his predecessors.
Those lands that were sold at $20 per acre
to grafters, when farmers had offered $40,
and other similar frauds cannot be cor
rected, nor can the Indians recover.
"Mr. Burehelman, a farmer who bought
land two years ago paying tha highest
price ever offered, has not yet his deed,
nor the Interest on hla money, nor any re
turns from the land. What fine Induce
ment for farmers to buy land! It was the
same Burehelman who offered $40 per acre
to the agent for land and a speculator got
It for $20, and two months' ater sold It to
another farmer for $46 per acre
"It seems that the root of the disease
that ruins the Indians is not the boot
legger, nor the saloonkeepers, nor the
speculators, but officers In the employ of
the Indian department."
