AT Fl. SCOTT.
Gov. Leedy Speaks To a Crowded
Audience
At the Opera House in Ft. Scott
Last Night.
THELARGEST Nj LETTING
Held in Fit. Scott This Campaign
1t is Said.
What Local Politicians Say of
the Outlook.
THELARGEST MEETING

Fort Scott, Nov. BIN the Davidson
opera house in which all the seats were
filed and several hundred people were
standing, Governor Leedy and John
Hatwood spoke last night to what local
people said was the largest political
meeting of the season in this county.
]. I. Sheppard, fusionist candidate for
county attorney, presided at the meet
ing in the absence of w. P. billiard.
Jake is very popular with Fort Scott
people and when he arose to introduce
the speakers he was greeted with loud
and prolonged applause.
The first speaker of the evening was
the governor.
He talked for three quarters of an
speech was much the same as those
already reported in the States Journal
The governor was followed by John H.
Atwood. Mr.. Atwood spoke at length.
He treated of the war and denounced
any attempt of any party to take credit
for its success. He also spoke of the
war revenue measures before congress
and incidentally made a short talk on
the money question. When he came to
state issues and mentioned the name
of L. c. Boyle he was greeted with loud
cheers.
The campaign will be closed here on
Monday night by meetings of both par
ties. L. c. Boyle will address one while
J. K. Cubpison will speak at the other.

WILL PAY IN NOTES.
SPANS Plan for Settling With Her
Troops.

New York, Nov IA dispatch to the
Herald from Havana says:
The Spanish government has decided
on the terms under which the soldiers
DESTROYS of staying in Cuba will be al
lowed to remain. If they have served
three years in full they will be given
their discharge and pBid a small part
of their salary, distributed pro rata,
receiving notes for the balance. Those
soldiers who have served less than three
years will be taken to Spain.
This rule concerning discharge ap-
plies to the Orden PublicOs also, and it
is believed that the majority of them
will take the opportunity to secure free
transportation to Spain.
The date of the meeting of the Gu
ban convention at Maranao will probab-
ly be postponed as the representatives
of the different corps may not arrive
soon. General DucassO, representative
of the Santiago division, says that they
will sail from Santa Cruz tomorrow and
may not return for several days
Lacesto, the president of the Junta
states that the Cuban army in Pinar del
Rio province are almost without food
He fears they may be a source of
trouble, as they are not allowed to for
age by their chief.

ling all afternoon over the case, the judge

sented that the Democrats could have

AGUINALDO's WARNING
is Conveyed to Disobedient Philip
pinos in q Proclamation.

Manila, Nov. 3.-AguinaIdo the insur-
gent chief, has issued a proclamation
pointing out that although the strin-
gent orders previously issued by him
have been generally obeyed, a, few Fill
pinos have refused obedience and have
offended in various ways and he now
warns all such that they are liable to
be declared outlaws and to incur the
extreme penalty.
The reference is apparently to the
anti-American Filipinos.

forbidden to approach the Notifications
or take photographs of defensive works

ILLNESS OF DICK BLUE.
z x-Congressman Not Expected
Survive His Present Ailment.

PIeasanton, Nov. Sex Congressman
r. W. Blue is seriously i'll at his home
in this city and is not expected to re-
cover. His defeat at Hutchinson for
political honors was the final blow that
broke his spirits and health.
After his defeat, standing in his room,
he drew himself up to his full height
and running his hands through his long
hair, said: There is one more good
fight in the old man" But he was mis-
taken. The next day at Wichita his
faItering and unsteady step showed his
friends that his days of political use~
fitness were over.
Dick Blue has been familiar figure
in politics in Kansas for over thirty
years. He is now sixty years of age.
