AGAIN THREATENING.
Indian Trouble is Assuming
More Serious Aspect.

Minneapolis, Oct. IA Journals Walker,
Mimi, special says:
A conference between Indian Agent
Sutherland and Chippewa, chiefs now at
the agency is going on and matters are
again assuming a threatening aspect.
Mrs. Colby, who is employed at the
agency school as an instructor, was this
morning ordered to leave the agency by
Indians and has just arrived here. She
fears serious trouble within the next few
hours and says that the pretext of the
bucks who are constantly arriving at the
agency from all directions that they haAe
come into sign rolls is manufactured for
the occasion. Indian Agent Sutherland
before starting, gave it as his opinion that
the conference would not amount to any
thing, but felt it his duty to 60 inasmuch
the bucks had requested it.
A rumor is current here that the two
troops of cavalry from Fort Yates and
Fort McKeOgh, which passed through Min
neapolis Tuesday night on the way to
Huntsville, Ala, have been ordered to
come to Walker as fast as they can be
got here.
None of the inhabitants here, with the
exceptions noted, has any hope that the
end is near. 1t is generally held that the
beginning has not yet been made.

So. 800 Thrown AWAY
While the Journal and Capital Spend
Thousands to Build Up the Town.
[From the Atchison Globe.l

The Topeka Journal and Capital are
two Of the best papers published any
where, but the Topeka people are not
satisfied, and recently blew 81, 500 into a
foreign advertising scheme, and now
find that they were worked. The ad-
Vertising facilities of the two papers
published in their own town were as
grumblfng at home paper, and they
preferred to put their patronage else
where. A Topeka dispatch to the Kan
SaS City Journal relates that in July
last a man registered as J. B. Campbell
of Chicago, worked that town to a turn
He represented that he was the owner
and editor of "CampbelPs Illustrated
tisfng matter for a write-up of Topeka
which would appear in the August num-
Der. He was very smooth and found
no difficulty in getting victims. many
merchants paying for their advertising
in advance, and all paying advance for
subscriptions. 1t is said that he had
such an easy graft that he carried 81, 500
gust, no magazine write-up appeared
and none in September. The people
grew suspicious and wired to Chicago
and found that "CampbelPs Illustrated
Journal of Chicago" was not located at
the address given, and was unknown
1t is charged that J. B. Campbell is now
engaged in working Kansas City to
frazzle. He will have no difficulty: a
sucker has been born every minute for
years, and now they are coming so fast
they are twins. In the meantime the
Topeka Journal and Capital are ap-
pearing every day at the same place,
with their publishers ready and will
deal and spending all they earn to build
uD Topeka.

AT the Socialist convention here today
Herr Fischer. a member of the Reichstag,
referring to Emperor Williams anu-stri1e
speech. said;
What little monarchical sentiment sur
yived among the proletariat has now been
definitely killed. We must organize an
opposition We shall be coWardly dogs
if We leave unanswered the insults heaped
upon US. The emperor deems it right to
throw down the gauntlet, and We have
the courage to pick it up"
This remark was greeted with a tre-
mendous Outburst of applause and the
convention resolved to call protest meet
ings everywhere Immediately after the
strike bill Is introduced. The meeting
also resolved to rescind the Hamburg con-
ventiOn resolution and to leave the ques-
tion of participation in the diet election to
be settled in the individual districts, with
the proVlso that the only candidates who
were to be supported are those who are in
favor of secret and direct universal suf-
frage and who pledge themselves to op-
pose any InfrIngement Of pOpular rights.

THEY FOUGHT AT MANILA.
Two of Dewey's Men Arrive at Wash
ington.

Washington, June 21.-Secretary Long
received a call today from DR.. Kindle-
berger, assistant surgeon of the Olym-
pia flagship of Admiral Dewey'S squad
ron and Gunner Evans, of the cruiser
Boston, both of whom participated in
the battle of Manila. They are the first
to arrive here to give to officials per-
sonaI information of that famous en-
gagement. DR.. Kindleberger is on leave
and incidentally on his way through
took a bride at San Francisco.
Gunner Evans time expired early in
April but knowing that the battle was
impending, he asked Admiral Dewey for
permission to remain at his post through
the engagement and this was readily
granted as Evans is a veteran at the
gun, such as Dewey needed. The two
men look brOnzed from exposure to the
tropical suns, and their sturdiness gives
assurance that Dewey's men were not
suffering at Manila, fact of which
they gave Secretary Long verbal assur-
ance.
Gunner Evans had a long talk with
the secretary describing many interest
ing phases of the battle. Afterwards
he talked with a representative of the
Associated Press. On the night before
the battle, the officers remained awake
and ready for service constantly, while
the men slept beside their guns. The
spirit OF the crew was high and they
were eager for the contest There was
no apprehension except in crossing over
the mines at the entrance of Manila
bay, for the fate of the Maine had
aroused dread lest the Spaniards had
planted mines and tOrpedoes at the en-
trance.
The Olympia, with the admiral aboard
took the lead through this unknown
danger and when this had been cleared
there was keen eagernesS to begin the
fighting. There is no long dawn in the
Philippines, the transition from dark
ness to clear daylight coming in a few
minutes. 1t was shortly after o'clock
that this change came. disclosing the
Spanish ships lying eight miles off. The
American sailors watched the hurry
and confusion on board the Spanish
ships as they prepared to defend them
selves. They were practically helpless
as their fires were banked and beyond
clearing the deck for action and get
ting the men to quarters they could not
be moved. Meantime the Olympia had
led the way and the American ships
were in line of battle, for their first
broadside. Evans remained at the am
munition cases serving shot and shell
as fast as needed. The men at the
guns had stripped to the waist, keeping
ON only their trousers and shoes There
was not a breath of air stirring and
aside from the intense tropical heat
there was the heat of action and of ex-
citement

TO SUE FOR PEACE.
Russia and France to Act as
Promoters.

London, June 21.-The correspondent
at Paris of the Pail Mall Gazette teIe-
graphed this afternoon that he learns
from an authoritative source in spite
of deniaIs that the question of negoti-
ating peace between the United States
and Spain has been for some days the
subject of lively correspondence be-
tween the chanceIlories. He adds that
some of the ambassadors in Paris were
instructed yesterday to remain on the
alert and in readiness.
The correspondent further says it is
expected that an event Of Importance
in opening negotiations with the Uni
ted States and Spain will occur within
a few days. NJ. Hanatoux. the French
minister for foreign affairs in the Me-
line cabinet, backed by the czar, has it
seems, been the principal promoter Of
the peace negotiations. hence Faure's

LET THE SKY FALL
The President of the Cuban Colonial
Council Makes a Loud Talk

Havana, June 21-Senor GaIvez, presi-
dent of the colonial council, has closed
the debates in the chamber with a mes
sage to the deputies in which he re-
peated that he did not wish to see
autonomy established for Cubans, or
for Spaniards, but for all the in
habitants of the island of Cuba
Continuing the president paid a
tribute to the efforts of Captain Cen
eraI Blanco under the existing circum-
stances and pointed out that the public
offices had been divided between Gu
bans and Spaniards. He concluded by
saying:
Let the sky fall fiat and sink US In
an abyss before the daring foreign in
vader's foot tramples on Spanish soil -
The words of Senior GaIvez were
warmly applauded by the deputies and
others assembled in the hall.
The Cuban congress then approved
the address in reply to the presidents
message and to the message of the cap
tain general and the address was de-
livered to the captain general by the
president of the colonial cabinet and
three deputies. On Friday morning
last the United States battleship Texas,
it is announced, endeaVored to cover
the landing of an American force at
PuntaL Cabrera, province of Santiago de
Cuba, but the official report adds, the
Americans were repulsed by the Span
ish troops under Col. Aldea with the
loss of several men. The firing, 1T is
further asserted, lasted half an hour.
It is announced at the palace that a
Spanish guerrilla force has been en-
gagged with a body of insurgents near
the railroad at Dagame, province of
Havana The insurgents it appears
exploded a dynamite bomb and the
guerrilIaS captured another and similar

THE DICE WERE LOADED.
And the Fact Cost John Egan the
Owner, $50.

John Egan was arrested by officer
Woods for carrying a set of dice. re-
vOlver, pair of steel knucks, a knife
and a pocket handkerchief.
When the case was called in police
court this morning Chief Steele rolled
the bones out on the desk just to see if
they were all right but Judge AtchisOn
and Sergeant Tim Donovan thought the
chief wanted to pass" and they crowd
ed around with their elbows on the
desk to see whether il was seven or
eleven. It was one of the two for Ser
geant Tim took the dice and rolled
them out of his helmet. One rolled un-
der the desk and one under the stove.
The desk and stove were moved so as
not to disturb the pass and it was
found that Tim had also crapped out.
Those are loaded" said Tim.
How do you knOw?" asked the
chief.
Because they don't pair off right
Sergeant Donovan seemed to be auth
ority on crap shooting and Judge Atch-
isOn felt so crestfallen that both Off
GERS should crap out on the first throw
that he fined John Egan $50.
