IN MEMORY OF WOLFE TONE
Laying the Corner Stone of a Monu-
ment in His Honor.

Dublin. Aug. 15.-The whole city is en-
fete today in connection With the lay
ing of the foundation stone of the mon
ument in memory of Wolfe Tone.
The municipal officers and many bus
mess houses are closed. Thousands of
excursionists are arriving and delegates
are in attendance from the United
States. Australia. South Africa, France
and Italy. There was an immense pro-
cession to the site of the monument. 1t
included representatives of all the civic
and trade societies, who followed a
memorial car, containing the founda-
ton stone, which was decorated with
flags presented by the Daughters of
Erin '98 association Of New York city.
Thiebald Wolfe Tone, whose memorial
is the central feature of the festivities
in Dublin today was the real originator
of the Irish movement that eliminated
in the rebellion of 1898. He founded
the United Irishmen. Tone was a
protestant, but he had imbibed social
ideas and was bitterly hostile to the
priests of that day, whose influence
counteracted his own. In Wexford,
where the insurrection went farthest,
the ablest leaders were priests, but they
acted against their church. Tone offer
ed his services to William Pitt, but they
were declined. He left a most interest
ing account of his Partisan adventures;
and his tomb is still the object of an
annual pilgrimage.

BUMPUSS BUNCOED THEN.
Fakir Works Montgomery County
Veterans SuccessfuIIV

Chetopa, Aug. 15.-August 1 there was
a man about Labette City claiming to he
sent out to look after the old soldiers
claims and to find out who were wOrthily
drawing them For side line he had
picture representing a national soldiers
monument, in size about PKG worth about
nickel and sold for $3.50. He said ma
tiOnal monument was to be erected either
in Missouri or Kansas as those two states
had the most soldiers, and the state taking
the greater number of pictures would de-
termine the matter, and each picture
would count q vote. Many poor old sol
der or his widow took from one to half
a dozen and the proceeds were to go to-
wards erecting the monument. The gem
eral opinion here is that he was an up-to-
date fraud He would approach a soldier
by asking what company he belonged to,
regiment, name of officers. what battles
he was in. if he was wounded and where,
what bounty and all particulars. and wind
up by selling his cent picture for $3.50.
He was an easterner, a thoroughbred
Yankee about As years of age. rather tail
and on the sandy complexion order, with
rather heavy mustache, driving a light
bay mare to top buggy, claiming to be
from Chicago, III. and having a recon-
mendation from Mckinley, Dun's COM
mercial agency and banker in Chicago,
and said his name was Bumpuss.

GENERAL BLANCO IS
 NOW A CHANGED MAN.
He Admits to His People That Cuba Is Lost and Havana Will Go
 to the Americans.

Washington, Aug 9.-News has reached Washington of a recent procla- nation in which Blanco made known to Spanish people of Cuba that Spain, through the intervention of foreign powers, had been forced to the disgrace full issue of suing for peace, and that there would be no more war and no fur ther use for soldiers.
 He offered a pardon to all Cuban polit- ical prisoners and more than 150 were released in Havana.
 Havana, he says, will be given over to Americans and Cubans and the Span iards will be forced to evacuate.
 Blanco assures the soldiers and all Spanish residents who wish to return to Spain or go to other Spanish possessions that they will get free transportation, given by their mother country, to their destination and will be protected from interference on the part of either Cubans or Americans. He suggests that the Cubans be forgiven and no longer re- garded as enemies and that no unkind feelings be cherished
