ROWAN POSSIBLY KILLED
His Boat Reported Captured He
Would be Regarded as a Spy

jacksonville, April 29-The
Cubans here have received news
from Port au Prince that the boat
in which Lieutenant Rowan was a
passenger has been captured by a
Spanish coasting steamer.
Nothing has been heard of the
lieutenant for IA days and as
Rowan was in citizens clothes it is
more than likely that he was treat
ed as spy. He had been sent to
Cuba to communicate with Gomez.

and the offers have been accompanied
by the personal appeals of the officers
that they may be given a chance to GO

other towns have organized companies

Latest War News.

New York, June "a copyrighted
dispatch from Hong Kong in this
mornings World says: A report
reaches here that Manila has fallen.
Manila is now occupied by the insur-
gents under Aguinaldo. The Philip
pine inhabitants of this city are jubi-
liant. The streets have been crowded
all day. The American consul general,
Wildman, has been the recipient of
hundreds of congratulations, for the
Junta gives him almost as much credit
for the reported capture of Manila as
they give to General Aguinaldo him
self, since Wildman has been their un-
swerving champion and has advised in
all their plans. Consul Wildman does
not credit the report that Manila has
been actually occupied yet, but he be-
lieves it will be before or by next
Saturday.
The Spaniards fight desperately, but
their Workmanship is poor and they
have lost heavily.
London, June 9.-The Westminster
Gazette in a special edition this morn
ing publishes a dispatch from Hong
Kong confirming the report that Manila
has fallen.
London, June 9-The Exchange Tele.
graph Co. has dispatches from Madrid

Stays by His Friends,

Al LOOMS has been appointed post
master at Fargo on recommendation
of Senator Hansbrough. The Times
Record would have been better pleased
if Mr.. Plumley had been honored, for
personal and fraternal reasons. Mr..
LOOMS is a good man and will make a
good official. It was a personal and
political appointment, and rebounds
to the credit of Senator Hansbrough.
He sticks to his friends. During the
legislative session of 1891, when
Senator Hansbrough was elected on
the seventeenth ballot, Mr.. LOOMS
was a member of the lower house. No
caucus was held and there was con-
siderable mixing up of votes, parties
and politicians. On the first ballot
Mr.. LOOMS voted for his townsman,
Col. Ball, for senator, and thereafter
voted steadily for Hansbrough, except
on the fourteenth, fifteenth and six
tenth ballots, when Col. Ball was
again in the field to keep votes from
going to Pierce. On the seventeenth
ballot of course he was on the band
wagon he had helped to erect. There
has been a senatorial election since
then, and the senator's election was of
the walk-over kind, with many patriots
on the band wagon, and it is truly
refreshing to find a man in office who
remembers the fellows who supported
him when he needed friends. The
Grand Forks Herald will please kick.

LATE PRESIDENT Harrison pays a de-
served tribute to Lieut.. Hobson and
the brave men who accompanied him
on his daring venture with the Merri-
mac. He says:
The act of Lieut.. Hcbson, has few if
any, parallels in the history of the
world. At Manila the act of Commo-
dore Dewey was brave, but he entered
a hostile harbor able to give shot for
shot, to beat down his assailants, to
triumph by the force of his own arms.
Lieut.. Hobson and his heroic crew not
only went with the Merrimac into the
range of an awful fire, unable to reply,
but the interior of their W vessel
was loaded with torpedoes for her
destruction at the proper time. They
went in unable to fire one gun at the
enemy, and prepared to destroy the
very deck under their feet. We search
the pages of history in vain to find
some act of heroism for country and
flag that approaches this.

The jamestown Alert calls attention
to the difference in the pay of pri
Yates and officers in the volunteer
army. For instance the pay of a pri.
vate in time of peace is s13 a month,
with on increase of 20 per cent. during
war. An infantry captain receives
$500 a year; first lieutenant, $500, and
second lieutenant, s1400. There is a
feature of this pay, however, of which
the Alert does not seem to be aware.
Private soldiers are furnished free of
charge with clothing and rations.
Officers must provide their own cloth
ing and their OWN food-all of which
tends to make a material reduction in
the net amount of their pay.

realized the uselessness of attempting
to make a forest reserve of the Turtle
mountain region and that it will at
once be thrown open to settlement.
Much Of this land is covered with a
scrubby growth of timber and is
said to be we'll adapted for mixed
farming. The fact that it was set
apart from the public domain has no
doubt retarded the growth of Rolette
and Bottineau counties, which will
now receive a substantial boost from
the new settlers who will take up these
lands.

WHILE Twin City papers find space
for a whole lot of rot about North
Dakota politics, they seem to overlook
the fact that the people of this state
are interested just now in the welfare

news along that line would be very
acceptable. People want to hear about
the soldiers and care little about

Pension Law Explained.

L
Chicago, June 3.-Since the time of
the call for volunteers attorneys have
been beset with questions concerning
the laws governing pensions and the
conditions upon which they could be
asked of the government. One whose
acquaintance with pension practice Is
extensive explained yesterday the
pension law and its provisions.
"The general belief seems to be that
the soldier who is sent against Cuba
will come under some special pension
law. Such is not the case. All pen
sions, unless other and unexpected
legislation is made, will be given under
the general pension law known as the
act of July IA, 1862. There are other
pension laws, notably the ones pertain.
ing to the war of 1912, and to the
Mexican a A law meant to apply
only to survivors of the Civil war, the
act of 1890, is also in existence.
"Under the act of 1862 any man who
is permanently disabled in wal may
draw q pension, the amount depending
entirely upon the extent of his dis
ability. This is known as an invalid
pension. The lowest amount paid is
s6 a month, and it ranges up to 800.
The limit is paid only when the pen
sioner is entirely helpless and needs
the constant care of an attendant.
Insanity is included under the heading.
The loss Of both arms and legs also
entitle the pensioner to draw the
extreme amount. For total blindness
S72 a month is paid, and for the loss of
a hand or of a leg s45 a month is
allowed.
"If the soldier is killed or dies as the
result of wounds or from sickness, and
leaves a widow, she is entitled to a
pension of So a month. and if there
are any children under 16 years old
she can draw an additional 81 a month
for each one of them. The additional
amounts stop when the children reach
16 years of age. A widows pension
dates from the death of her husband,
but the soldiers invalid pension dates
from the day of his discharge for
disability.
"If the soldier dies and leaves no
| widow there is nc pension unless his
parents were dependent upon him for
support. In that case the mother is
| allowed S12 a month. If the mother is
dead and the father vas dependent
upon the son, the pension goes to him
Sisters and brothers, if they are under
16 years old, and have no father OF
mother living, are entitled to draw s.
q month each until they are 16 years
| old.
IF a soldier dies leaving no wife, but
children under 16 years old, a family
pension of s12 a month AN. be drawn
with an additional 81 a month for each
child. Relatives of the men who died
in camp before their regiments were
mustered into the national service OF
who were killed en- route to camp be.
fore they were mustered in cannot
secure pensions"
