THOUGHT It WAS WAR
Bugfer of the Battery Scared
People Last Night.
WERE ONLY DRILLING
Rumor of War Sets TeIe-
phones Ringing.

Last night the citizens who had not
gone home were in furore over a rumor
which flew like wind over the city. 1t was
reported that the Kansas National Guards
together with the battery had been or
dered to Leavenworth, Kansas, to protect
the fort. The excited people knew posi-
/ lively that the regular soldiers at Fort
Leavenworth had been ordered TO the At
lantc seacoast and that the local militia
were to go to the fort to take care of it
during their absence. This rumor gained
currency no doubt from the fact that the
battery was out drilling last evening on
North Fourth avenue. The bugle was
/ sounding and the regular tactics were in
order. The sounds of the bugle caused the
telephone bell THE Eagle office to ring
exactly twenty-seven times in one hour
by anxious men and women who wanted
to know the facts. A bulletin came, stat
ing that probably all officers and soldiers
in the Missouri division of the regular
army would be ordered east. This to-
gether with the sounding Of the bugle
/ caused the undue excitement.
The battery and the infantry are Of the
opinion in case of war that they would be
called to the front. This is a mistake.
The following opinion, handed down 10y
Major ]. N. Morrison, the judge advocate
of the regular army, regarding the powers
of the president, viii be interesting:
He cannot call upon the National
Guard organization for duty as National
Guards in connection with MILITARY oper-
atoms at home or abroad, and he cannot
call for volunteers without authority from
congress. The militia of the state will
! be utilized in the defense of the COM
monwealths to which they belong and
will not be assigned to duty, even at the
military posts whence the regulars are
Withdrawn. The duties of militiamen
therefore, as an organization of the sRte
Will be narrowed down to the strict statu-
| tory limitation.
ut seems passing strange that It has
been assumed by the National Guard of
the states as well as by their governors
and the people generally, hat in case of
war with Spain the president will at
States the organized militia of the state
Ghe National Guard as such.
IF we have war and it should assume
any considerable magnitude, there may
be times during its progress when the
National Guard Of some of the states
along the Atlantic sea coast will be
called out for short period, but it does
not seem to me that even that is very
probable.
''They cannot volunteer as National
Guards, as organized state militia. The
organized state militia and the volunteers
furnished by the state for the United
States service are two separate organiza-
tons of an entirely different character
The National Guard is a state organiza-
rion for service in the state"

JUST FOR CONVENIENCE
New Santa Fe Engines are Numbered
on the Tank.

The numbering Of the road engines on
the Santa + eto conform with the new
classification of numbers is going stead
lily on. 1t was COMMENCED on the 10th, and
by the 2Oth all the road engines will have
been numbered.
A new feature is being carried out while
the Remembering is going on. The num-
bers Of each enging are being painted on
the rear end of the tank the same size
as on the sides.
This obviates the necessity Of railroad
men walking to where an engine is stand
ing TO see what the number is if the engine
happens to be facing the opposite way.

KILLED
In a Hot Fight In Colorado.

KOkOMO, Colo. Aug. l3.-As the re-
suit of a fight in cabin between Off
GERS and the men who held up the
Breckenridge house Thursday night,
ex-Sheriff Conrad is dead and S. Whit
ney is dying: of the bandits Dick Ryan
was killed, and Dick Manley is dying.
Hugh Ryan escaped. Reilly, tough
town character, is in Jail. Excitement
is intense today.
Blood hounds have been brought
from Leadville and we're started on the
trail OF the missing robber
At eleven O'Clock. Everything
is ready for fret class
lynching if he is caught. In the cabin
was found all the booty secured in
The robbers have re-
Gently been operating in the western
part of the state.
VICTOR Colo, Aug. 12.-Manley.
Bryan and Reilly are well known
here. All are ex-convicts. Manley was
convicted of two murders, and sem
fenced to the pen for 24 ye srs, but was
psrdoned by Gov. Mcintyre. He tried
suicide several times while in prison.
Bryan $ mother lives here. Reilly has
given the local police much trouble.
The three men were seen here last
Sunday and had large roll each. Now
it transpires that they were implicated
in the murder of Jerry Cunningham at
Golden, ILL.,, July 2lst last.

THE PHILIPPINES.
We May Buy Them From Spain.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Public
opinion will decide the question OF the
retention of the Philippines. The pre-
sident has not made up his mind.
What the people want and the ele-
ments of the situation as they shOulC
later develop will settle the subject.
No advance agreement will be made
with Spain.
Whatever claim Aguinaldo had for
consideration, he forfeited when he
proclaimed himself dictator and de
corated his sublime person with q gold
collar and a silver whistle. A propo-
sition which will certainly be made
and undoubtedly seriously considered
is that we buy the islands from Spain.
1t is not believed we can claim them
BY right of conquest as at the close of
hostilities we only held the harbor of
Manila and small section of Cavite.
The precedent for the purchase is
Mexican war: which resulted in our
paying the conquered nation Sl5, ,000,-
600, taking land in what came be known
ss the "Gadsden purchase. The re-
suit was an accession of territory, more
friendly relations with Mexico and
only small financial burden to the
United States.
However, the problem may have al
ready been settled. AT least three
more days must elapse before our
troops at Manila can learn that the war
is over.
MADRID, Avg. 1.-THE Liberal says
that the mixed commission which will
be appointed to solve the Philippine
question will accord Spain sovereignty
over almost the whole of the archipe
lsgo.

SECRETARY DAY
will Leave The Cabinet And Be Ap
pointed Circuit Judge.

WASHINGTON, August 13.-Secre-
tary Day will be appointed United
States Judge for the 9th circuit as soon
as he resigns from the cabinet. This
is learned from most reliable author
ity. Several months ago Judge Taft, of
Ohio, associate Judge of the 9Th circuit,
went to the president and made per-
sonal request that another Judge for rhe
circuit be appointed. His reason for
this was that the circuit embraces four
important states, Ohio, Michigan, Ken
lucky, and Tennessee, and that only
two judges are allowed. whereas other
circuits not so large are given four or
more. The work of the circuit he
showed required an additional Judge.
The result of the conference was
that the president very unreservedly
5 a'ed that he intended to appoint
Judge Day to the place at the close of
the war. There is some. talk that SEN
ator Wolcott will go into the cabinet.

The War Continues In Porto Rice

The War Continues In Porto Rico.
PONCE, Aug. 13.-Gen. Wilson cent
two guns forward yesterday within
range of the enemy's earthworks
crowning Asamente ridge. AS the
Americans approached the Spaniards
opened fire upon the road which was
occupied by men Of the Third Wiscon-
sin regiment, acting as outposts.
A Spanish battery was stationed on
the tOpmOst peak of the mountain. A
Spanish shell burst over the head of
Capt. Mccoy, of company l.: fragments
killed Corporal Swanson and wounded
Privates Bunce and Vought. Our ar
were exchanged for some hours. The
Spaniards were shelled out of their ori-
ginal position and for time the guns
were silenced.
They reopened their fire a short time
later, and also began sharp infantry
fire, their volleys showing that the
hillside was swarming with hidden in
fantry, whose smokeless Mausers did
not reveal their position. Lieut.
Hsines, of the Third artillery, was
wounded in this fire.
PONCE, p. r., Aug. II, via St.
Croix.-The town of Mayaguez was
occupied by American troops under

Wisconsin regiment to advance yester-
day at daylight with five days rations

Jim McCurry, the partner of Seth
Burroughs. who was killed over the
river last winter in trying to get to this
side of the river after having killed SO
many policemen, has escaped from the
yusrez Jail where he was serving out
his term of twelve years, for being i'm
plicated in the Burroughs affair.
There was confined in the jail an old
woman; he got her to give him one OF
the steel ribs out of her corset, and 1t
was with this instrument that he made
an improvised saw, and about two
O'Clock on last Wednesday night he
got out.
He used the steel saw to make hole
through the roof After having got to
the root he was discovered and the
guard on the Ou tside Of the Jail shot at
bin as he was in the act of umping
from the roof to the ground, but the
bullet flew wild and McCurry made q
beeline for the river and swan across
about q quarter of q mile above the
Santa Fe street bridge.
