YOSEMITE SHEEP men
FIND FREE PASTURAGE VERY
EXPENSIVE
Herders Are Arrested by the Military
Patrol and the Flocks Left
to Starve

WAWONA, Sept. 1s.-The Utah Volunteer
cavalry, commanded by Captain Haine, are
rapidly driving from the Yosemite National
park sheepherders found trespa ssing with
thousands of sheep. Lieutenant Kimball,
in charge Of the detail patrolling the cas-. :
ern section, arrested and sent In yesterday
by Sergeant Price nine sheep men with ami
mails and packs. Their sheep were scat
tered, and unless cared for by confederates
the arrests will result in great loss to the
owners. Another detail from the north
western boundary brought in five men
found with stock grazing in the park.
Lieutenant Ktmball Is still patrolling the
park, and as numerous bands are known to
be within the limits, many more arrests
will undoubtedly follow. Most Of the scat
tered sheep are known to belong to French
and Portuguese, who have kept their stock
in the park boundaries all summer. Some
of the herders captured opposed arrest,
causing trouble by refusing to surrender
when ordered to do so by Sergeant Price
They reluctantly submitted, however, when
covered by firearms. They were compelled
to walk from the place of arrest to Camp
Wood, thirty miles distant. To prevent
their escape at night the men were divested
of most of their clothing.
On account of very dry season there is a
great scarcity of water throughout the
park. Many streams are dry, killing off
the trout, thousands of which were added
this season from the hatchery at Wawona.

MISS DAVIS ILLNESS
ENDED BY THE DEATH OF THE
SUFFERER
The Daughter Of the Late President of
the Confederate States Passes
Peacefully Away

NARRAGANSETT PIER, r. l., Sept.
1S.-Miss Winnie Davis, daughter of Mrs
Jefferson Davis, died at noon today at the
Rockingham hotel, to which place she
came as a guest in the early part of the
piers social season. She had been i'll for
several weeks, and fortnight ago her
ailment was diagnosed as malarial gas
tritis. At times her condition became
very serious, so that consultations of ply
sicians were deemed necessary, but fire.
quent rallies gave renewed hope that she
would ultimately recover. During the past
week, especially was her condition con-
sidered favorable, and it was thought her
removal from the hotel would be possible
in few days, as the hotel had closed for
the season, leaving the patient and attend
ants practically alone in the house. Last
night, however, relapse in Miss Davis
condition was noticed, and throughout the
night she lost strength perceptibly. This
morning the physicians said the end was
not far off, and at noon death came to end
the sufferings which at times had been in
tense. Mrs. Davis had watched unremit-
tingly at her daughters bedside and she Is
now bowed with sorrow. The physicians
of Mrs. Davis report that she is holding up
with great calmness in her affiction, and
no fears are at present entertained of her
health yielding to the strain.
Miss Winnie Davis, the Daughter Of
the Confederacy," was born in the Confed-
crate executive mansion at Richmond, Va,
in 1868. She was educated principally at
home, owing to troubles surrounding her
father and the publicity which attended all
movements of the Davis family. Miss
Davis attained her majority at Beauvoir,
Miss. Here she assisted her mother in va
rious ways and took her place in the many
social functions of the place. She was her
fathers constant companion. She assisted
him in all his work and much Of the in
formation which was required by Mr. Da-
Wis in his writings was secured for him by

A CUBAN CONFERENCE
TO DECIDE ON THE DETAILS OF
EVACUATION
The First of March Set as the Probable
Date of Departure of Spanish
Forces
Associated Press Special Wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
HAVANA, Sept. IS, evening.-Rumors
that have been put in circulation to the
effect that Gen. Wade, president of the
Evacuation commission is Ill with yellow
fever are denied. Gen. Wade is looking
the picture of health
This afternoon there were sent on board
the Reselute sealed documents supposed
to contain a statement of the results of
last nights conference. 1t is understood
that 1t is proposed to start the evacuation
from east to west, embarking the troops
at the ports of Gibara, Nucvitas, Cienfue-
gos and Havana.
The official statement Of the number of
Spanish soldiers in the island Is said to
place the aggregate at 100. 00O and 1t Is un-
dcrstood that it is proposed that the men
can carry with them their arms, ammuni-
tion, material and equipments
1t is estimated that the end of February
will have come before the evacua tion of the
island l. completed, as the soldiers must
embark in Spanish vessels. 1t is suggest
ed that this will be an advantage to both
countries, the United States having an op-
portunity to acclimatize its men during the
winter months.
1t Is proposed that the American govern
mcnt shall land troops to occupy each post
simultaneously with the evacuation, not
leaving any position unguarded at any
time.
This afternoon secret meeting Of the
officers Of the Spanish warships now in
port was held at the admiral's palace. The
object of the meeting Is supposed to have
been the consideration of the question of
returning to Spain-which vessels and what
portion of the armament should be taken
and which left.

In an official capacity and was one of the

Large basins were placed about on the

Rf-CONQUfST BY SPAIN
HAS ALREADY BECOME A FLAT
1MPoss1B1L1TY
PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE
Means Simply an Early Lapse Into
Barbarism-Archbishop and Lay
Citizen Fully Agreed
Associated Press Special Wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
MANILA. Sep. 1S.-In an interview with
him by the correspondent Of the Associated
Press, Archbishop Dosal of the Philippine
islands said:
II earnestly hope the islands will not re-
main Spanish, because he rebels are now
so strong that such a course would in
evtably cause appalling bloodshed. The
reconquest of the natives Is impossible un'
til after years of the most cruel warfare.
He also expressed the hope that the islands
would not become absolutely independent t.
because It was certain that dissension
would occur which would result in inces-
SAINT strife, and afterwards O lapse inc
barbarism and the natural Incidence of the
country. The only hope, the archbishop
declared, was that strong western power
would intervene now. Delay was danger
Gus. but the people are intoxicated and
restless.
He said It was undeniable that the re-
lgious orders must so. but the whole peo-
pie had determined to abolish them, now
that they were able to render their reten-
ton impossible. He laid the chief blame
upon the Dominicans and Franciscan Re-
coletants, the richest orders. and next upon
of lesser Importance. The Jesuits Arch
bishop Dosal says, are comparatively do
cile. He added that the rival orders are
the most vigorous opponents of liberty. The
provincials, who are approximately equal
to archdeacons, are mainly responsible.
They are utterly beyond the control of the
archbishop, who denies possession Of their
power.
The total number of Spanish priests in
the Philippines before the war was 1000. but
lately every departing steamer has taken
fifty or hundred OF them away. and now
barely fifty are here. He says he wishes to
strengthen himself.
Several Spanish ministers assured the
correspondent that they would refuse to
remain here If Spain was reinstated In con-
troll of the island Many Spanish soldiers
refuse to serve again, and Spanish officers
are disgmsted with the rottenness Of the
Spanish government and prefer to become
American citizens.
The annexat.onists have a majority, but
the discussion Of the subject has not been
finished.

Two Notable Victims of the Santiago
Campaign

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1s.-Capt. Allyn
Capron. First artillery, died at his home
near Fort Myer, Va, today.
Capt. Capron was one of the best known
officers in the regular army. He had de-
voted himself particularly to the artillery
branch of the service, having been an hon.
orary graduate of the artillery school in
1873. and was regarded as an authority on
atillery tactics. When Gen. Skaters corps
went to Santiago Capron accompanied 1t
and his battery did fine work In the battle
Of Santiago During the first days fight
ing before the city, Capt, Capron's son,
Capt. Allyn K. Capron Of the Rough RID
ers, was killed. The death Of his son
preyed upon the fathers mind, but he new
er swerved for an instant from his duty
during the terrible days that followed. The
seeds of disease were sown in his system
during the Cuban campaign and he re-
turned to his home at Fort Myer only to he
stricken down with typhoid fever. His
death occurred about 12 o'clock today.
Capt. Capron vas born in Florida ard
entered the military academy as a cadet in
1863. After graduating he was made Sec
ond lieutenant of the First artillery on the
18th Of June, 1867, and was an officer of that
regiment until his death. He was commits
stoned as captain on the 4th Of December
1883. II is probable that Capt. Capron will
be buried In Arlington national cemetery,
but no definite arrangements for his fu-
neral have vet heen made
