It was long tho subject Of remark that tho
part taken by Pennsylvania In the Revolution
airy war had not received adequate attention
1T the hands OF historians and essayists. Two
highly creditable attempts to fill this gap In
tho record OF tho Revolutionary struggle have
been made by Mr.. CHARLES J. ST1LLE the
President Of the Historical Society Of Pennsyl-
vania. Some time ago he published bio
graphy Of the illustrious Pennsylvania states
man. John Dickinson. who ex ercised powerful
influence upon the policy. not only OF his own
province. but OF all the colonies. from the date
OF the Stamp Act to that OF the Declaration OF
Independence. With the same purpose In
view. he has now undertaken to recount the
achievements OF distinguished Pennsylvania
soldier. General Anthony Wavne tLipp incott's).
Ample materials for this memoir have been
found in the collections OF the Pennsylvania
Historical Society. and some additional facts
derived In part from local tradition are set
forth In supplementary chapter prepared by
the late Joseph J. Lewis of West Chester.
Altogether tho volume before US presents q

brilliant soldiers Of tho Revolutionary period,
who. when he died in 1906. Just before COM

Kansas Doodle Charges Seem TO Have q
Slim Foundation.
TOPEKA, Kan, May 6.--John W. Mof-
fit. who is responsible for the Doodle
charges made by the Topeka Capital
against the state administration, and
who has been lodging the investigation
committee, appeared before that body
today. He admitted he had no per-
sonal knowledge of the charges, and con-
fessed that his entire knowledge was
based upon conversation which he
claims to have overheard in the Cope
land hotel between man connected
with the Kansas City stock yards
and another man whose business he did
not know. He at once went to Gov
ernor Lewelling and told him Of the
Doodle rumors he had heard. The gov
ernor told him he knew money was be-
ing raised to get the two warning houses
together, but said nothing about any
other Doodle. Motif also told the story
to several friends. among whom was
Major Hudson, of the Capital. He was
surprised to see the story in print next
morning and said it contained some in
accuraciess
On cross examination Moffitt admitted
that, although Lewelling was his person
al friend. be made no effort to verify the
slander told by the two strangers before
he repeated it to others; he had not at
tempted to find or identity the strang-
ers, and had not seen them since.
After Mofitt's testimony, the commits
tee adjourned sine die.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, May 6.-The Gu

tion that the revolt in eastern Cuba is
succeeding. They are sending money to

men.
WASHINGTON, May 6.-R. 0. Williams,
consul general for the United States at
Havana, has aent the department OF
state, under date OF May 2, a translation
of resolution adopted by the central
committee of the home rule party of
CUBA, condemning in emphatic terms
the recent insurrectionary outbreak in
the province of Holquin.
Secretary Carlisle today directed the
United States collectors OF customs on
the Atlantic coast and the United States
revenue marine officers to exercise
special vigilance to prevent the ship
ment of arms and ammunition from the
United States to Cuba. This action was
taken at the request of the Spanish
minister.
New ORLEANS, May 6.-The Times
Democrats Key West special says !:
The great revolution in Cuba has sim
mered down to 80 men with II rifles and
IL heroes who took up the cry of Cuba
libre." A committee of home rulers
went out to them on the End instant
advising them to surrender, and the
next day they came into Holqnin and
laid down their arms on the condition
offered by the government. Spain's in.
tense uneasiness over Cuba can be
realized from the extensive movements
made against 80 men.

The Mysterious Death OF Refra ctory
Swede.
FRESNO. May 6.--Andrew johnson, q
Swede, who was arrested yesterday for
threatening to kill his daughter, Mrs. G.
Johnson, died at the county Jail this
morning at IL O'Clock. When the Off
cers went to his place yesterday in Gem
tral colony, few miles from town, to
arrest him, johnson asked permission
to change his clothes. Receiving it, he
went into his blacksmith shop, and, a
reasonable time having elapsed without
his reappearing, the Office went into the
chop after him, only to find he hac left
it by another door. After brief search
he was found in ditch doubled up and
evidently suffering great agony. The
officers believed he was merely intoxi-
Gated and feigning illness, so they took
him to jail. This morning Johnson
became very i'll and doctor was called
in. All efforts to save him were futile,
however, and he died. A post mortem
examination will be held in the morn
ing and an inquest on Monday morning.
