ANOTHER WAR.


Bacon would have sent back some official
communications had it been possible to do
so. No word whatever has come from him.
Neithe' has 1T been possible to confirm the
report that the entire detachment had been
wiped out.
The outlook at this hour is that the agency
indians may go on the war path at any
all night and reports received every half
hour by runners describing the condition
of affairs. Two of the old chiefs want war,
but there are others who are trying deSper-
ately to stem the tide of discomfort and
to prevent any conflict with the troops. The
two correspondents who still in Walker
started for the island tonight and hope to
get back in time to give some idea of the
situation and as to whether the other news
paper men and the soldiers still live.
A statement has been secured from United
States Marshal O'Connor. He says that
General Bacon told him he thought it like
ly that they would have to remain several
days and O'Connor thereupon said he would
return for tents and supplies. O'COnnOr
started in a skiff for his steam launch.
which was some distance from the shore,
and just then the battle commenced. The
troops did not return the fire for some time.
When ordered to fire they did with good
effect. Mr.. O'Connor says it was folly to
go over there with so small a force and
thinks it will take at least one thousand
troops to restore order.
A dispatch boat that has just arrived an
nounces that, although they cruised up and
down near the scene Of the battle for two
hours they were unable to see a man, and
fear that all soldiers and officers have fall
en-. About one hundred armed citizens, in
Guiding the detachment from Brainerd, are
about TO start for the scene.

by the Washington authorities and not by
himself. He also said. in reply to a ques-
.tion from Captain Howell, that he had en-
countered no obstacles in securing such sup
plies as he had made requisition for. He
had heard of but one instance in which a
surgeon had become intoxicated. The man
vas relieved from duty. but there was no
court-martial. as it was impossible to secure
testimony bearing on the case.
General Dodge asked the witness for a
general expression of his opinion as to the
conduct of the various bureaus of the War
Department. Replying. he praised the work
of all the supply departments, saying they
were actuated by zeal and characterized by
intelligence. He had found the medical de-
partment from General Sternberg down to
be efficient and anxious to promote the best
interests of his department. The same was
also true of the ordnance, commissary and
other departments. General Wheeler spoke
of the mortality among the Spanish soldiers,
saying that it was quite equal to that among
the American troops.

HaIf-DOzen Candidates Dividing the
Opposition to l.. A. 500 Chief.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Oct 5.-Candi-
dates for president of l.. A. 300, the window
glass workers association, are making an
active canvass here in the Hartford City
preceptory. The American element is dis
satisfied with President Burns and wants
him deposed, while the Belgian and French
workers, in the majority here, are about
equally divided between President Burns
and Jules Suirtmont, of Jeanette, Pa,
the latter. being Belgian. The latest as
pirant for the presidency is A. E. Cline, a
blower, of this city, and a son of Isaac
Cline, who was president of the organization
for six years when the four trades were
united. Several years ago he came from
Pittsburg and has large following in both
the East and West. l.. f. Getsinger, of
Franxton, eX-Secretary Of the L. A. 300 and
candidate for president, is here making a
canvass of the two trades. Jules Suirt-
mont, of Jeanette, is also here mingling
with the blowers and gatherers and pushing
his claim for the presidency Harry Cleve-
land, OF Anderson, and Edward Phillips, of
Arnold Pa, are two new candidates an
ncunced. Pane Burnett, of Durhamville, N.
Y. who was prominently mentioned for the
presidency, is said to have withdrawn from
the race on account of his age and failing
health. His candidacy had been launched
by the Anderson and Orestes preceptories.
Faulkner the Dunki1k candidate was here
the first of the week. A. ]. Smith, of Mum
Gle, and John Sliecker, of Pittsburg, are
also candidates. Glass men are now of the
opinion that unless several of the candidates
withdraw Burns will be successful Should
he be compelled to run against but one op-
ponent he would be easily defeated The
race is one of the greatest in the history of
the organization.

EMPEROR WAS POISONED
REITERATION OF THE REPORTED
DEATH OF CHINA'S RULER.
RiOting Resumed at Peking-The Bos-
ton and Petrol on the Way from
Manila to Tien-Tsin.

LONDON, Oct. 6.-The Picking CORE
spondent of the Daily Chronicle, telegraph
ing Monday, says: 1.-The Emperor has been
poisoned in the palace. Rioting was re-
sumed yesterday and five Chinese were
killed Attacks upon Europeans continue
The Chinese embassy here is in receipt of
a dispatch from Picking, dated yesterday,
saying the greatest harmony prevails be-
tween the Emperor and dowager Empress
The dispatch adds that the latter, seeing the
danger of rushing sweeping reforms, con-
scented to advise the Emperor in the general
management of affairs and as to the best
way of introducing reforms. Continuing, the
dispatch says circumstances have shown it
to be necessary that six councillors, who
were urging the Emperor to undertake in
opportune reforms, be put to death. After
referring to the punishment of the others,
the dispatch says that since his dismissal
from the Tsung- Li-Yamen, Lii Hung Chang
has abstained from participation in public
affairs.
