and her husband and Hannah thought
over all the possible and impossible
ways of bringing about reconcilia-
ton, but none Of them could devise a
plan that appeared safe and feasible
One day in early autumn Sugy-lIoney
and the baby made their usual pill
grimage to the old place.
The baby had n long weed with a
fuzzy end for tail playing horse. He
was calling on Tunnel" as he called
him, to whip up his horse, and while
prancing to and fro in some way the
weed caught OH fire from the open
fireplace, and before anyone realized
that danger was near, the little form
was partially envcloped in flames.
Sugy- Honey rushed to the rescue,
for she was the first to see the blaze,
and the colonel wrapped the scream
ing baby in rug. Their hands and
arms were severely burned, but the
baby escaped miraculously. Though
all his pretty curls were gone and his
outside clothing burned, yet the
wooden garment next his body was
scarcely scorched.
Col. Henson had worked with will,
and while he was rolling and rubbing
the baby form he was mentally max
ing an almost unconscious vow:
'Oh Lord, spare this little one had
begun to love, and I will no longer
waste my life. Only let me save the
baby from n hideous death and will
arouse from my lethargy, will soften
my heart to my only child and take
her into my life again
All this and much more he vowed
while life anu death hung in the bal
ance, and while he and Sugy-Honey
were winning the victory.
At. last the danger was past; the
baby had ceased crying and was giving
one of his~rippling laughs over a capcr
his nurse was executing for his bene-
fit A swift rush of skirts was heard,
for bad news flies quickly, and the
baby's mother, with open arms and her
heart in her eyes, was in the room,
hugging first the baby and then her
father, then laughing and crying,
talking and explaining all at once.
Hannah, who stood in the doorway,
with uplifted, streaming eyes, ex.
claimed:
Dress the Lawd, oh my soulv'
While Sugy-Honey, despite her
Burning hands, was dancing Jig in
the cornnr, for though she did not
know it, her mission was fulfilled

NAVAL CHIEFS DISAGREE,
All the Trouble Caused by the
Designs for Six New
GunboatS.
Vexed Questions Referred to Secre-
tary Herbert for a Proper
Solution.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 1.-For the
first time in its history the board of naval
bureau chiefs has come to an absolute dis
agreement and has been obliged to so re-
port to Secretary Herbert, leaving him to
determine which side is right. The disa-
greement grows out of the designs of the
six new gunboats for which plans were
prepared by the construction bureau.
There are two reports on the subject,
one signed by four members of the board
totally disappearing of the plans, and one
signed by two members vigorously up
holding them. The four members objected
that the boats proposed will draw fourteen
feet of water and so would not meet the
requirements of the act of Congress- which
describes them as light-draught gunboats.
They also hold that the fitting of the YES
sells with complete full sail power is a
mistake, as the experience of the depart
ment with such vessels as the Adams
shows that no steamer fitted with sails can
beat against the wind and therefore the
sails will be almost useless in average con-
ditions.
On the other hand the supporters of the
plans undertake to demonstrate that the
vessels will be efficient and very much
more economical than the boats without
sails, arguing that the criticism is founded
on vessels not given full sail power, and
giving figures to support the assertions.

POISONED HER PATIENTS,
Deadly Drug Administered by
a Stylish Woman
Dentist.
After Discovery She Fled, but a
Warrant Was Issued for
Her Arrest.

FORT SCOTT, KANs., May 1.--At
Hiattyille, small village near here, half a
dozen people are in dangerous condition
as result of the treatment administered
by handsome, stylishIy dressed woman
who came here several days ago and ad-
vertised as Mrs. DR.. Alberta Oberlin,
claiming to be dentist travelling from st.
Louis. Many citizens visited her.
In extracting teeth she applied some
liquid to the gums of number of her pa
tients. Soon after the operation they were
invariably taken i'll, their faces and hands
becoming discolored, their tongues swol-
len and their stomachs affected. Among
those now in a dangerous condition are
Taylor Pacton, pastor of the Methodist
church, Miss Myrtle Wallace, Miss Nora
Hartwell, Mrs. William Clark and Lizzie
Liddell Miss Liddell is dying tonight
and some of the others may succumb be-
fore morning.
When the symptoms of some of the vic
tins became serious local physicians were
called in, but despite all their efforts the
victims grew steadily worse. When the
local physicians declared that their
charges were suffering from poison inquiry
was made for the woman dentist and it
was discovered that she had fed. The
Prosecuting Attorney caused a warrant to
be issued for her arrest and kilograms for
her apprehension have been sent in all
directions

REVENGE OR ROBBERY {?
The Unfortunate Man at the
Throttle Slain at the
First Fire.
ESCAPE OF THE FIREMAN
1t Is Thought That the Murder May
Have Been Committed by
TrampS.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, May might ex-
press No. 8 on the Chicago and Alton Rail
road, north-bound, was attacked about II
o'clock about two miles this side of Carlin-
vile, by three masked men, who had
climbed upon the platform of the blind
baggage car, supposedly at Carlinville.
The men climbed over the tender and
ordered Engineer Frank Holmes to stop
the train, and Immediately began firing.
Holmes was killed at the first fire, Fire
man Frank Tuggle escaping. The assail-
ants, after shooting the engineer, jumped
off the train and escaped.
Fireman Tuggle then ran the train back
to CarlinviIIe. 1t is not known whether
robbery was intended or not. Engineer
Holmes this morning, when going south
at CarlinvilIe, compelled some tramps to
get off the train, and also ran some tTamps
off that were burning cars on Y, and it
is thought that some of these men were his
murderers Holmes home is in Bloom
ington. The train may not be here for
several hours.
All the would-be robbers were captured
within a short time, the assassins of En-
gineer Holmes being caught by a mail
clerk as he was getting off the cab. No
one but the engineer was injured, and no
attempt was made to rob the express car
or the passengers. The names of the
robbers have not been learned. Engineer
Holmes was about ~ years OF age, and
had been in the service of the Alton road
for MANY years.

Governor TnrTeD'S Election Not Yet
Definitely Settled.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 1. = When
the legislative joint convention adjourned
late this afternoon the clerk was still en-
gagged in reading the voluminous report of
the minority of the Investigation Commit
tee.
The report was finally concluded soon
after the convention met in the afternoon.
The minority report will be completed to-
morrow morning and then argument will
at once begin. 1t is alleged that the COM
mittee on procedure will report against
allowing the attorneys for Mr.. Evans to
address the convention.
They were invited to appear and speak
before the investigating committee, but
refused to do so. Republicans tonight
claim that they will defeat the adoption
of the minority report, while Democrats
claim the report will be adopted and Gov
ernor Turney declared to have been elected
Governor. There is no excitement, but
each side is busy arguing with doubtful
members. 1t is believed a decisive vote
will be taken during Thursday.

TERMS OF SETTLEMENT.
English Officers, However,
First Take Notes Along
the Canal Route.
HONDURAS OFFERS TROOPS.
The Central American Republics
Would Gladly Unite to Resist
Great Britain.

LONDON. Eng, May LIT is learned on
good authority that Great Britain has
agreed to the proposed settlement of her
dispute with Nicaragua. The payment of
indemnity is guaranteed. 1t is said the
affair has been practically settled.
The following semi-official announce
ment was made this evening: The state
ment that the Saivadoran Minister has
submitted to Great Britain on behalf of
certain propositions is correct. The mat
ter is now being considered, and if reason
able security is given for the fulfillment of
any undertaking to comply with Great
Britain's demands every proposal in the
matter will be arranged without inficting
further humiliation.
MANAGUA, NICARAGUA, May 1.-The
officers belonging to the British feet were
ashore yesterday at San Juan del Sur, a
to the Nicaragua canal is to be built. 1t
was noticed that they were making meas
urements and topographic sketches of the
land, and they also were apparently max
ing observations along the route to be fol-
lowed by the canal along the line from the
Pacific to Lake Nicaragua. The officers
also made sketches and took notes about
the Brito, and although ordered to desist
by the Nicaraguan Governor there, they
continued their work and refused to return
on board the ships.
The Honduras Government has given
assurance to Nicaragua that her troops
will be at the disposal of Nicaragua should
they be necessary. This is the only ten
der of troops that has been made by the
Central American republics. The offer
from Honduras is not likely to be accepted
owing to the present favorable turn of
affairs, but at one time there was pros
pect Of concerted action by the forces of
the two countries. The good offices of the
Minister of Honduras, Minister of Guate-
mala and all other Central American
States are being eyerted at Washington
and London to secure peaceful settle
ment.
COLON, COLOMBIA, May lit is re-
ported from San Juan del Sur that there
is every probability of revolution break
ing out in Nicaragua if the Government
yields to the demands of Great Britain.
If the present Government of Nicaragua
fails it is contended it will not be possible
to adjust the claims of Great Britain, and
this will probably provoke an armed con-
fiict

BETRAYED HIS TRUST.
Convicted of Surrendering
Fifty Soldiers to the Cuban
Insurgents.
GENERAL CAMPOs rs ACTIVE.
Starting Factories to Give Work to
the Unemployed and Keep Them
From the Rebel Ranks.

HAVANA, CUBA, May 1.-Lieutenant
Gallego, who surrendered fifty Spanish
soldiers to the rebels and who was after
ward arrested and turned over to the mill
tary authorities here, was, after trial by
court-martial, sentenced to be shot.
This sentence was carried out to-day in
the fortress of Cabana here.
Lieutenant Valentine Gallego should not
be confounded with Lieutenant BENJAMIN
Gallego of the Peninsular Regiment, who
was recently tried by the court-martial
and shot at Santiago de Cuba for allowing
the rebels to surprise him in a saloon in
Juragua City.
Marshal de Campos has issued procla-
nation in which he says it is the first time
in the history of his military life that he
has known Spanish officer to be executed
as coward.
The captain-general, in order to give
work to the unemployed and thus prevent
any discontinued and idle presons from
joining issue with the rebels, has ordered
the commencement of number of public
works, which, it is hoped, will result in
material benefits to the island and to the
laboring classes.

sengers on the steamer Olivette from
Havana tonight give an account of a
battle near Bayamoon Monday, between
Maxine Gomez, in command of 1000 in
surgents, and 5000 Spanish troops COM
manded by General Salcedo. The Spaniards
were repulsed with heavy losses, while the
Cuban loss was very small.
NEW YORK, N. Y, May damon
Williams, United States Consul General at
Havana, arrived on the Ward line steamer
Vigilancia from Havana to-day. Mr.. Will
iams declined to say anything regarding
the report that he was persona non grata
to the Spanish Government. He could not,
he said, make any statement until he had
visited the State Department at Washing
ton without committing breach of official
etiquette. Being asked whether he would
return to Cuba, Mr.. Williams said he could
not answer that question: as it was for the
Secretary of State to say whether he would
go back or not.

two daughters and John Youug Brown
accompanied the remains. Mrs. Gordon

city. The matter was explained to him
and he decided to allow bail. Late this
afternoon he fixed the amount at $1,000 in
each case.
FRANKFORT, KY, May 1.-The execu-
tive office has been in mourning to-day,

NOT AFRAID OF RUSSIA.
japanese Hould Rally in Defense of THEFT
Nation.


SEATTLE, WASH, May Mao Nabe-
kra, ten years San Francisco agent for the
Yokohama Specie Bank, is in this city.
In speaking of possible interference of for
eign powers with the treaty between China
and Japan, he said:
Russia is the only country that would
really wish to interfere, but before she
could get on fghtlngground Japan could
put up the hardest kind of resistance
Russia has perhaps 10000 troops in East
ern Siberia, but it would take hundred
transports forty days to take $4,000 troops
to the Gulf of Pechili, and she would have
a hard time eluding torpedo fleets COM
handing Formosa Channel, now COM
pletely under control of Japan. Japan is
the only country with actual battle expert
ence in handling the latest engines of war;
fare, and the crews of her boats would Joy
ously go to certain death if they thought
they could thereby hinder an enemy to
their country. Japan could call into the
field inside of a month the active list, the
first and second retired lists, the military
police, making $50, 900 trained and equipped
fighters. Besides, there are 10000 old
style fighters.
"Were the Emperor to speak the word,
the old feudal spirit, 'Yamato Damashii
would blaze forth fiercely. Any ministry
that listened to Russia would be lost in a
storm of the peoples rage, and the opening
of the Diet would bring forth ministry
holding sentiments of the people approved,
and there would be such war that Russia
would have to yield"

has tattered uniform of the Chinese navy,
which he wore on the Chin Yuen during
the naval battle.
He says it was a stubborn fight and was
lost to the Chinese chiefly because they
had no shells to use except iron ones.
The Japanese were well supplied with
shell. which did great execution. The
Chinese shot passed through the enemy's
ships without doing any great damage.
The commander believes the Chinese sea-
men are brave and .skillful and would
make good fighters if they could only
trust their leaders. The Chinese gunners
fired as true as the Japanese men, but did
not do as much damage on account of the
quality of the shot.
The commander had some very narrow
escapes during the Yalu battle. AT one
time he was directly in front of the mouth
of Pinch gun on his ship as the gunner
was swinging it into place to fire. He
closed his eyes and waited for certain
death. He opened them in few seconds
and rolled off the superstructure just be-
fore the gun went off. The commander
carries two wounds in his left thigh and
another over his abdomen from fragments
of shell. Commodore Lin was supposed to
be in command, but was down in his room
praying to the gods to preserve MIN. The
commander will go to his home at Wash
ington, Pa, in few days. He did not
come by the Pacific, as the Japanese had a
reward of $4,000 standing for him dead or
alive. Mr.. McGitfin has been in the
Chinese naval service for twelve years. He
founded the naval institute in Wei-hai-wei
and did considerable surveying in Korea.

ninety-one ayes and fifteen noes, one of

WHAT RUSSIA WANTs.

mas of the Siberian Road.

After an OAttef for the Eastern Term
iiius of the Siberian Road.
TACOMA, WASH, May Willard D.
Tillotson of this city, ex-Consul General to
Japan, believes that Russia wants the port
of Gensan in Korea for its Pacific Ocean
outlet to Siberia and the Eastern terminus
of the Trans-Siberian railroad. 1t is this
desire, he believes, that is now causing the
Russian bear to growl and may precipitate
another war in the Orient. Gensan is stu
ate on the northeast side of the Korean
Peninsula and has an open harbor the year
round Mr.. Tillotson says:
81 think now as l have thought from the
beginning of the trouble, that Russia will
not allow complete settlement of the
question until she has secured what above
all things she desires, viz: An open port
for the Pacific terminus of the Trans
Siberian railway, as it is well-known that
Vladivostock, the only port she now pos
sesses, is closed to navigation five months
of the wear. 1t is not a matter of senti-
ment nor principle with Russia. Her
actions are entirely from selfish motives
Her interests are not jeopardized by the
arrangements for peace between Japan and
China but she sees in the disturbed con-
ditions of affairs the opportunity of a CEN
fury to add to the extent of her present
Asiatic possessions a small tract of coun-
try, and thereby increase their value be-
yond the power of computation. I am
not surprised at Russia's action, but
I can hardly conceive how Germany and
France and Spain could be inveigled into
the scheme at the doubtful risk of plunging
the whole world into bloody war, unless
China is to be bound, gagged, dismem-
bered and partitioned among them as has
been the fate of other nations in times
past. The Japanese are not perfect. They
have their faults just as other people have,
but they have certainly been as reasonable
in this matter as most, if not all, countries
placed under similar circumstances and no
interference or bullying by outside parties
can be justified on any grounds whatever
in my opinion"
