KANSANS LEAVE AT LAST.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20. The United
States transport steamer Indiana
sailed yesterday afternoon for Manila,
having on board the first and second
battalions Of the Kansas regiment,
under command Of Colonel Funston.
The men are not in the least crowded,
and the voyage promises to be verit-
able pleasure trip.
Just Ave months ago tho Twentieth
Kansas regiment was hurried to San
Francisco, without waiting for uni
forms or equipment, with the eXpecta-
ton OF an immediate journey to the
Philippines. Seven times the regi-
ment has been assigned to transports
and as many times disappointed. Col
onel Funston said, when the official
order for embarkation on the Indiana
was issued; ~ won't believe we are
going until l feel I'm sea sick"
Five of the officers wives accompany
the expedition to Manila. Special per-
mission was received from the war de-
partment for the women to go, but the
matter was kept profound secret.
The ladies are Mrs, Funston, young
woman who only few days ago be-
camo the wife Of the colonel of the
Regiments; Mrs, Buchan, formerly q
Miss Smith Of Lawrence, who was
married to Captain Buchan this last
summer; Mrs. Whitman, Mrs. Hauser-
MAIN and Mrs, Schlieman, wife of the

oddities OF POISONING.
Much OF Earthly Happiness Depends
Upon What We Eat.


Upon what We Eat.
The constitutional differences and
peculiarities which exist among lndi-
viduals should always be carefully
watched and considered. One person
can handle poison Ivy with impunlty
while another Is poisoned II only In
the vicinity of the vine and without
contact. Some members Of family
residing In a malarlal district will
suffer regularly with chills and fever,
while other members will not be at
all affected.
Food that Is actually poisonous to
some persons will not act so on others.
One person may eat all kinds Of green
fruit and vegetables with impunity,
while another person could do so only
at the risk Of life. Certain kinds OF
fish are actually poisonous to some
people and perfectly wholesome to
others,
It is this peculiar condition Of the
system which constitutes the uanBeC
point in the individual case and
should be prudently observed by each
one for himself. Intestinal derange-
ments frequently arise from and are
aggravated by certain kinds of food.
Thus a person affected with kidney or
liver trouble should not eat very white
bread, since the extreme whlteness Is
often produced by the use Of alum
with an inferior article OF -four, and as
alum is known to be poisonous in Its
effects on q sound constitution this
is why alum baking powder is never
used by people Of judgment and dis
erection.
More OF earthly happiness depends
upon what We eat than many people
realize and 1t is for this reason that
the different states are one by one
passing pure-food laws.

OMAHA EXPOSITION SCANDAL.

OMAHA, Neb,, Oct, 31,--A sensation
has developed in the department OF
exhibits at tho Trans-Mississippi ex
position, growing out Of the arrest OF
II. B. Hardt, assistant manager Of
that department, on two warrants
charging him with forgery Hardt
denies the charges and in turn declares
he will mako some counter chargea
that will cause more Of q sensation
than his arrest.
The warrants for Hardt's arrest
were sworn to by II, s. Cochron, rep
resenting Scho6eld, Schurmer g. Tea
gle, and II, A, Searle Of the Monarch
Manufacturing company. Both COM
plainants allege that Hardt so changed
the awards OF the judges that the
medals and certificates of merit which
should have gone TO the firms mem
toned went TO some other firm.

AYQUTPEACEC CONFERENCE
Spanish Likely to Undo All Thus
Far Accomplished.
PHILIPPINES ARE THE CAUSE,
Americans In Paris WIN Not 10 SUR
prlsed II One or More of tho Spanish
Peace Commissioners spolls Everything
by RoSlgning,

PARIS, Oct, 3i--rhere Is a strong
impression which has been growing
here recently that the Spanish, upon
receiving definite assurances OF the
American determination TO take the
entire Philippine group, would quit
the conference and all negotiations are
modified by the attitude Of the Spanish
newspapers arriving here to-day.
These are found TO have wheeled into
line with the Epoca Of October 27,
which demanded that the Spanish
commissioners should sign treaty In
Paris no matter how onerous the con-
ditions imposed by the Americans
Nevertheless, despite this attitude
OF the Madrid press, and despite the
denial given on Friday last by Span
ish commissioner, who denied that the
Spaniards had any intention OF with
drawing, the Americans here will not
be surprised II one or more Of the
Spanish commissioners resign and
practically close the negotiations.
LONDON, Oct. 3l.-The Madrid corre-
spondent Of the Standard says '"There
is much anxiety in Madrid as to the
result OF Mondays joint sitting Of the
peace commission, InOsmuch 40 Spain
accepted the Cuban articles OF the
protocol only on condition OF sub
sequent agreement being arrived at on
the Philippine question, she will siren
uously resist any infringement Of her
rights in the Philippines without COM
pensation,"

CDBANS ARE OFF|CESEEKERS
General Wood DeIuged With AppIl-
cations From Them,
TWO FACTIONS SEEK CONTROL
Majority Of tho Insurgents without
Money and do About living From Hand
to Mouth, Wondering What WIN Hap
pom NeEt--The Outlook Dlsoouraglng.

MANzANnLo, Oct, 3i,-The visit OF
General Leonard Wood, governor OF
the military department OF Santiago,
has been instrumental In bringing all
the elements among the Cubans TO the
front, No fewer than 1000 insurgents,
Of whom 300 are officers, want offices,
and their clamor amounts almost to a
demand.
There are two leading factions, one
headed by General Jesus Rabi and the
other by General Rios At present,
most OF tho offices are held by repre-
sentativcs of the Rabi faction, includ-
ing tho mayoralty and the custom
house inspectorships General Wood,
In order to poclfy the Rios fac
ton, has given them six posi-
tlons on the rural police force
and has turned over TO ono OF their
people the lighthouse at Cape Cruz,
together with several other minor ap-
pointments. But neither party Is
satisfied, each thinking that II ought
TO have all the Offices. General Rios
docs not dare express his opinion pub.
licly on General Rabi, but he feels
that this Is his district, as he has had
tho nominal charge Of II for three
years, and that IL ought to belong TO
him, 30 far MS appointments OF Cubans
TO Office are concerned, and all the
more so because he represents General
Calixto Garcia.
Tho majority Of the insurgents here
have no money and 60 about living
from hand TO mouth and wondering
what will happen next. Armed men
are not allowed rations. AS the Cubans
will not disband and will not work,
nothing remains for them but to strut
around the city, with machetes and re-
volvers. Some OF them are nearly
nakedi others appear in long-legged
patent leather boots with silver spurs,
carrying superOly wrought Toledo
machetes A few wear immaculate
white suits and Panama hats, These
are, for the most part, the New York
contingent, each man now veritable
bombates furloso.
General Wood and Colonel Petit re-
gard the outlook as rather discourage
Ing, Still, they hope that some means
may soon be found TO break up the
Cuban army The members Of tho
rink md flo arc anxious to 90 TO
work, but the leaders refuse to allow
them to do so, and the men do not
dare to do so, as they would certainly
be shot II captured
General Wood is hoping that the
other towns he will visit in his trip
around the province will not present
the Same vexatious conditions as pre-.
vail here, where the Cuban problem is
presented in very difficult form, the
most difficult he has yet encountered,

ANARCHISTS AT PONCE.

PONCE, Oct, 91.-A sensation was
caused here on the arrival Of the Red

by the customs officials and the pas
sengers were arrested, on the supposi-
ton that they are anarchists.
