Philippine Rebels Would Welcome an
American PrOtectOrate.

LONDON, April 23--The Evening News
publishes dispatch from Singapore saying
II am informed on the highest rebel author
ity on the Philippine islands, through a con-
fidential channel that an American protec-
torate would be welcomed at present as a
guarantee of public safety. pending the Gre
alton of reform administration. There is
reason to believe that the Spanish mail
boat Isla de Midanad (Mindanao) will be
captured before she arrives at Manila. Be
fore starting she was provided with Brit
ish and Russian flags and painted out the
name in the funnel in imitation of the
steamers of the Russian volunteer fleet, a
number of which are on their way to Port
Arthur. Admiral Dewey learned of the
scheme from General Lee on April 13. A
homeward- bound Spanish mail steamer has
mounted two Hontoria quick-iring guns
and two Nordenfelts on improvised mount
ings at Manila, though the vessel would not
bear the shock of discharge of the guns,
owing to the weakness of the fiXings."

the owners of the Spanish steamer Buena
Ventura, captured yesterday off Key West
by the United States gunboat Nashville
have issued a signed protest against her
capture. They say the cargo of the steamer
belongs to British merchants and was in
sured in Great Britain. They add that the
steamer left Ship island on April IA. so her
captain was not aware of the outbreak of
war. Finally, the owners Of the Buena
Ventura claim, the capture was Illegal as
there has not been formal declaration of
war and the ultimatum of President Nc
Kinley to Spain had not expired when the
steamer was seized.

HAGERSTOWN, Ind. April 22.-The
auditor of this county has called the atten-
ton of the public to the fact that the cost
of assessing property of the county is
greater than it should be, and asks the
township assessors to try to reduce the
charge. The commissioners recently ordered
an investigation of the methods used by
the assessors, and find that on an average
but four persons were assessed each day,
at cost of 5S1s cents per individual. The
deputy of one assessor took a long nap
every day. and the county paid for his full
time. Another assessor employed his wife
as his deputy. She did her homework and
was paid for full time. The people are asked
to assist the commissioners in their attempt
to remedy the existing wrong.

Ora Haley Of Albany county, Wyo.,
writes as follows to the Denver Field
and Farm:
The breeding Of all classes OF good
horses in our part OF the country has
practically been at an end for the past
five years, especially good heavy DART
ers. Horses have been so low the past
few years that breeders have lost all
interest and they have sacrificed them
to the buyers from the southern states
or other points in the east. II they have
kept any good ones they are now old
and the failure ito keep up breeding has
made good horses very scarce. l do not
know OF a good bunch of heavy mares
now Of any size in our county. Horses
breed here all right in our pastures and
make good. well developed draft teams
when cared for by feeding and kept
growing the first winter. In most cases
most any 'home-raised stallion is used
by turning loose on the range with the
mares. where he often runs the whole
year and of course this kind OF breed
ing makes very common horses"
