the time and an elephant trainer from
Chicago was sent here TO assist him in
gaining possession and taking charge
of the elephant. The animal is a
monster one, said to be about one
hundred and forty years old, and. ac-
cording to A. t. Clark. who was here
last week in advance of the Clark
show, is giving her present owners, the
Harris Nickle Plate Show, no end of
trouble and annoyance. He says that
since she was taken from here Empress
has killed three men. The first was
the Chicago man that was sent here to
take charge of her, and since then two
other keepers have fallen victims to
the treachery and ungoverhable tenn
per of the vicious brute. AS age comes
on Empress is daily growing more dan
gerous, and tits said her owners would
gladly part with her at sacrifice.
They truly have ian elephant on their

The Local Preacher.

Like the poor he is with US always.
God bless him, he is neither handsome
nor smart, but his heart is on the right
side. His soul is full of love, like a
well full of pure water. He seeks
neither money nor honor, but rather
to do some good, be it ever so small.
He goes in and out among his people
and they love him but know not why.
His name never gets in print. nor is he
known beyond the narrow confines of
his neighborhood. But within his
soul is a well of pure water that flows
out and gives life to many noble
thoughts, and kind actions. Go on,
noble soul, live, labor and be forgotten
of the world. But around you will
ever circle little band whose hearts
you have warmed and who will warm
you again in turn. thus keeping alive
the fire of Christian love.

MANILA CAN HOLD OUT.
Food Can Be Got From the Interior
for Months.

New York May IA dispatch to the
Herald from Manila, via Hong Kong,
says:
The American victory at Cavite and the
collapse of the Spanish navy have struck
terror into Manila.
The blockade continues, but the public
is calm. 1t thinks that the European
powers have interviewed to prevent the
commandment of Manila. The country is
quiet. The natives will not actively or
openly favor the Americans unless Sssur-
ed that Spanish rule is over, for fear
of reprisals.
The desire to break the Spanish rule
is general throughout the country and
American invasion is popular means
to gain this end.
. But the native mind is only Influenced
by an exhibition of strength. They think
the blockade is weak and that this is due
to foreign Intervention. Manila draw
supplies from the interior and hold out
for months. The troops at Manila con-
sist of about 10000 regulars and Is, 900 vol
unteers. The volunteers have no instruc-
ton and their fire is wild and dangerous
to the troops. The artillery has ma
chine guns.
Public oninion, which first favored Adj
miral Montejo. has now changed. The
Spaniards freely criticise his defense of
CaYite- They say the American came
artillery good enough to do great damage
to the American fleet if we'll handled. The
captain general ordered Admiral MOntejO
to anchor his fleet off Manila and unite
the strength of his fleet to the batteries.
Montejo replied that his place was to de-
fend the arsenal of Cavite The defense
of Manila without a fleet was impossible.

ALL IN THE SHELLS.
Spanish Report From Manila Says
Our Shells Burst and Theirs
Didn't

Madrid, May IA dispatch to the
Liberal from Manila, dated May and
sent by a special steamer to Hong Kong
says: 1.-THE arsenal has surrendered
and Cavite has been evacuated by our
troops. The Spanish losses were 300
men killed and 600 men wounded. The
enemy suffered considerably, including
an officer killed on the Olympia. The
Baltimore was damaged. Our shells
did not burst, and all the enemy's shells
burst.
Admiral Dewey has had a long con-
ference with the foreign cOnsuls.
THE Yankees took and burned the
merchant ships. Corregidor island was
betrayed.
"A consultative assembly is discussing
the horrible situation crea ted by hunger
and misery. We are isolated by the
blockade and are in fear of an immedi-
ate attack.
Since the cable was cut little new
has happened. The blockade cOntin-
ues; but. Admiral Dewey says he will
not lombard the town without his gov
ernments orders. He also says he
hopes that general rebellion will take
place within four days. New bands are
on foot in Pamanga"

WHERE ARE THEY GONE?
Not Very Good Account Kept of the
Commissary Department

There has been a hitch in the COM
missary department. Contracts have
been made by the government for sup
plies with no provision as to whether
they should be delivered at Leaven-
worth or Topeka. Some who have made
these contracts have the supplies on
hand and are unable to find out where
they should be sent. Lieut.. Harry A.
Smith, who has been acting as quarter
master, has been nearly swamped with
inquiries and he has been unable to say
what disposition should be made. Sew
eral firms in LeaVenwOrth have con-
tracts to furnish supplies and are hold
ing them for orders where to ship them.
The commissary department of the
state is also in somewhat of a mix-up-
Supplies were issued from the state
house to those who came after them.
Now the state armory is empty and
about all that is known of what became
of the supplies that were there is that
they are gone, so they are charged up
to the troops. Blankets were bought,
and in the scramble to fit out cOmpa-
MES that came in, it has been nearly
impossible to keep any systematic &C
count, and consequently from the rea-
son that there have been half a dozen
commanders-in-chie to the Kansas
volunteers, it will be a tangle to
straighten things out.

NO HELP FROM SPAIN.
The Philippines Will Be Com
PEELED to Look Out for
Themselves.

New York, May IA dispatch to the
World from Cadiz, says:
The Spanish naval authorities are
devoutIy praying that Admiral Cere-
vera's squadron, the Cape Verde fleet
will avoid a fight with the superior
force under Admiral Sampson.
They lament because the four first
class armored cruisers, Almirante
Oquendo, Vizcaya, Infanta Maria Tere-
sa and Cristobal Colon, and three tor
pedo boats destroyers, Furor, Terror
and Pluton, were not ordered to join
the reserve fleet at Cadiz if the gov
eminent hesitated in sending them to
make a dash for some North American
point and then wheel back to Spain,
thus paralyzing the American defensive
operations about Cuba and Porto Rico.
slowly prepared for service. Marines
and sailors have been assembled in
greater numbers than wanted for the
vessels ready.
From political motives and in order
to make it appear to people that the
government is preparing to take re-
venge for the Manila defeat, the Ma
drfd authorities have asked the naval
officials at Cadiz what vessels of war
can be made ready soon to protect
transports carrying 5000 men to Ma
Mia.
General Correra, the war minister,
got seven battalions and four batteries
ready, all armed. equipped and officer
ed, and large steamship companies un-
dertOok to provide the eight ships
required. But the naval authorities re
port that it would be impossible to get
war vessels ready quickly.
They say the battleship PelayO is not
fit for an expedition to the far east,
and besides that she is needed more for
the reserve squadron at home. For the
same reasons they object to parting
with the Carlos V, Cardinal and Alton
XIII. first rate cruisers.
Moreover they do not think the sec
and and third-clasS cruisers here, which
are available-three in au-would be
enough to protect the expedition from
the forces Admiral Dewey will have at
his disposal by the time Spanish rein
forcements could reach Manila.
The torpedo boat destroyers-three at
Cadiz and two at Ferrol-they want to
keep for the defense of the coasts, to-
gether with the torpedo vessels and the
old ironclads Numancia and Victoria,
lately repaired and reftted in French
arsenals at great cost. Unless the pop
ular cutlery OVercOmeS the professional
and competent objection, the govern
ment will have to abandon the idea of
sending a relief expedition to the Phil
ipp1neS.

A. THIEF IN CAMP.
He Robbed the Soldiers Right
and Left and is Arrested.

Henry Boyle of Council Grove, who is
a member of the Emporia volunteer
company, is in the city Jail. Had he
not been taken there from Camp Leedy
last evening by the police, he would
probably have been mobbed by the sol
diers. AS it was, Capt. J. c. Mckinley
of the EmpOria company, arrived at
Exposition hall, south of the camp, just
in time to stop a company of indignant
soldiers from severely beating the fell
low whom they claimed had stolen a
large number of personal articles be-
longing to them.
The Emporia and Kingman compa-
MES are camped in Exposition hall. For
several days members of both compa-
MES, and especially in the EmporIa
company, have missed things belonging
to them. Some money was stolen.

effects. One of the company was put
on guard to detect the thief. Yesterday
he reported that Henry Boyle had
stolen goods in his possession He was
taken in charge by a squad OF soldiers,
while others Investigated his personal
baggage. They found more than two
dozen things belonging to Emporla ana
Kingman soldiers. Boyle denied any
knowledge of the thefts. He was taken
into Exposition hail and the soldiers
began dealing out justice to him They
kicked him and smOte him, but he took
the punishment without word or re-
and put stop to the proceedings He
ordered Boyle taken to the guard house
Last evening at $50 o'clock, Police Ser
geant Tim Donovan placed Boyle under

minutes longer, we would have fixed

BLEW THEM UP.
Insurgents Explode Torpedoes Under
Spanish Marching Column.

New York, May IA dispatch to the
World from Key West says:
The story of the occupation of Bay
amO by the victorious CubanS was
brought to Key West by Lieutenant A.
S. Rowan.
I'VE had expected to find Garcia en-
mountains said the lieutenant.
Imagine our surprise to learn that his
headquarters were in Bayamo. That L
had always regarded as one of the
strongest Spanish fortified towns. But
such was the case.
''Bayamo had been in a state of par
tia1 siege for months. Garcia simply
forced the Spaniards out on April "a.
White flags were hOisted over every
Spanish fort around Bayamo, General
Garcia was correct in his supposition
taht the SpaniardS did not intend an
armistice, but simply hoisted a flag of
truce to cover some treacherous militia
ry maneuver
THAT maneuver was the evacuation
of BayamO.
The Cubans answered the flags of
truce with q heavy artillery and rife
fire. The Spaniards retreated in two col
umns to a little town called Embara-
cadero, on the CautO river.
For a distance of 200 yards on the
St. Augustine road, the CubanS planted
dynamite tOrDedOeS that were exploded
by an electric wire from the under
brush.
From what I heave learned of the
affair I believe that three entire COM
panleS OF SpanlarQS ana three pieces OF
artillery were literally blown to pieces.
General Garcia's headquarters are in
one of the finest houses in BayamO. He
received me most kindly and gave
me all the information that was in his
power. The obtaining of that informa-
ton was my official errand, SO that L
am not at liberty to tell you what it
was. But I believe that I shall be able
to tell the state department all that it
desires to know about the eastern end
of Cuba
Garcia wants American soldiers as
we'll as rifles and ammunition. He is
kindly disposed towards Americans
personally and his whole army is at
the disposal of the government in
Washington.
Cuban soldiers are not much to look
at, but they are the best guides 1 have
ever seen. Their endurance and re-
sourcefulness are something wonderful.
I don't believe in sending them Krag-
Jorensen rifles. The Remington is bet
ter adapted to their use than any other.
1t is simpler and is more easily repair
ed.
After leaving Garcia I kept to the
northward and crossed the island. With
two guides 1 explored the north coast.
There are several harbOrS that are re-
markedly well fitted for the purpose of
invasion.
THE CubanS are not only willing, but
are anxious to give US all the land we
want for permanent coaling stations.
They look upon the presence of the fleet
in their harbor as a continual prOtec-
tiOn.'
