WILL NOT HANG
Lieutenant Wark Sentenced to Death,
But Reprieved

LONDON, Dec. 1l.-Leutenant Wark
Of the royal artillery, who on Thursday
was sentenced to death on the charge OF
numbering Miss Jane Yates of Liverpool, a
girl of good family, by conspiring with her
to procure an Illegal operation, which re-
suited in her death, has been reprieved.
The evidence in the case tended to show
that the girl was solely responsible. She
made a statement before she died, exoner-
ating Wark. who, after the jury had re-
turned verdict Of guilty, protested his in
nocence in open court. Wark, who is an
1rishman, is 46 years Of age, and married.
He enlisted as private about thirty years
ago, and rendered, distinguished service in
the Afghan war. He met Miss Yates while
he was stationed at Liverpool. The wit
nesses for the defense showed that Wark
tried to persuade her not to undergo the
operation, but on her insisting he promised
to stand by her. The scene in which he
protested his innocence was highly dram
attic, and was followed by an extraordinary
demonstration against the trial judge
when the latter left the court The News
papers took the matter up, declaring that
even if the verdict were legal, it would be an
outrage to carry out the sentence, as Wark
was evidently entirely innocent OF delib-
crate participation in the girls crime.

INDUSTRIAL TEACHING
IS THE KIND NEEDED By THE
INDIANS
The First Woman Superintendent OF
Government Indian Schools
Makes recommendation

WASHINGTON, Dec. n.-Miss Reel, su-
perintendent of Indian schools, IN her an
nual report, makes strong plea tor the in
dustrial feature Of educational work among
the Indians.
Misc Reel, who was formerly land com
missioner, as well as superintendent Of pub
lie instruction, for the state OF Wyoming, Is
the first woman who has been at the head
of the government Indian school service.
In her report she says:
''The government has upon its various
reservations about $50 day and boarding
schools, in which there are over 2000 teach
ers employed. Fer these teachers several
Institutes were held last summer and fall in
some western states, the majority Of which
the superintendent conducted, inaugurating
a number Of innovations, chief among which
are the requiring OF actual work, etc, to be
done in the teaching OF sewing, cooking,
housework, etc.
The government has not, as yet, adopted
compulsory measures for the education OF
the Indian children, and the fact is that the
dark-skinned sons cf the forests do not take
to education very readily. Some reserva-
tions withhold the rations until the parents
place their children in the schools, and so
strong is the opposition to this in many
cases they have held out against it
until their families were on the verge OF
starvation But this feeling is not general,
and during the past year the attendant per-
centage was very fair
Industrial education and the necessity Of
furnishing employment for the Indian stu
dent upon his return from school are dwelt
upon. Compulsory education and more at
tention to manual training are strongly
urged.
Il desire to emphasize the statements Of
numerous Indian educators that Industrial
training should have the foremost place in
IrGlan education, for it is the foundation
upon which the governments desire for the
improvement Of the Indian is built. The
consensus of opinion Of the superintendents
lat the last summer schools show that too
little attention is paid to this field of labor
and it was insisted that larger facilities for
workshops and teachers be provided, that
this work upon which the civilization Of the
race depends may not suffer"
Miss Reel also pleads for industrial edu
cation for young women on the theory that
"when you civilize the wife, you civilize the
home,' and that sewing, cooking and q
course Of economic housekeeping shall be
leading factors in every Indian girls educa
ton

WORDfROM THE ARCTIC
BROUGHT DOWN BY STEAMER
FARRALoN
Two Sturdy Miners Start With a
Horse From Skaguay Bound
for Dawson City

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Dec. IL
The steamer Farralon arrived from Skag-
uay, Alaska, tonight with the following
news:
December Charles Watson, John Nc
Cubbin and John Helpin lost their lives by
the premature explosion OF blast. Ihey
were working on the grade OF the White
Pass and Yukon railroad between Camps
Nine and Ten. They were charging hole
when the explosion occurred. Their bodies
were horribly mangled.
The first attempt to reach Dawson IN WIN
ter time with a horse was made on Decem-
Der from Skaguay by Joseph Reilly and
Joseph Achenbach, old miners and pros
pectors. Their pony weighs QUO pounds
and their outfit consists of two slelghs ana
1910 pounds of provisions and clothing.
They expect to reach Dawson in thirty days
The United States court is in session at
Juneau, and the docket shows the largest
number of criminal cases since the organ
ization of that district of Alaska. Ihe
grand Jury is still turning out indictments,
principally cases of selling liquor to Indians.
The court has also taken up the matter OF
suppressing witchcraft, practlced among the
Indians, who are very superstltlous. "heh
one of the tribe becomes sick with some as
ease which the shaman, or doctor, is unable
to cure, he pronounces the patient ne-
witched. Then the relatives OF the SICK
Indian will accuse some OF the trloe as
witch. This accusation is equivalent to a
death sentence, as the accused is immediate
" tortured to death.
United States District Judge johnson, IN
his charge to the grand jury, asked 1or a
patient inquiry into offenses growing out
of the superstition.
The steamer Utopia, which escaped de-
struction by fire November II in Alaskan
waters and was afterwards seriously bat
tered by an Alaskan blizzard, has been par
tiallv repaired at Juneau, and is now on her
way down.
The first United States mail for Tanana
river left Dyea December in charge OF
Alfred |. Smith. lie has two dog teams
oe seven dogs each. The weight of the mail
exceeds 1000 pounds.
Passengers of the steamer Farralon tell
story of the remarkable escape from drown
ing end the. subsequent death of John Hicks
who was, . passengeSon tho steamer Utopia
which caught fire while on her way from
Seattle to Skaguay, November II. During
The excitement Hicks jumped overheard, and
it was thought he had drowned. 1t appears
however, that Hicks managed to get on thu
bottom of capsized life boat and driftec
about twenty-four hours before the boat
went ashore on Rake island. Cold ant
numb, Hicks wandered about on the islanc
in search of habitaton for eight days
living on whatever herbs he could find. BE
coming exhausted, he made. his way to thu
beach, where he lay down to die. Shortl,
afterward a canoe with several Indians
came along, picked Hicks up and took hin
to the village and turned him over to Rev
Dr.. Moon, a missionary, who did everything
in his power for the unfortunate man, wh'
got better. Rev. Moon started with hin
in a canoe to Wrangel, but he died en- route
and his body was buried on the beach.

a NEW YORK FLOOD
Caused by Bursting of Water Main
in Brooklyn

NEW YORK, Dec. ll.-For several hours
today an area of twenty blocks in the
Twenty eighth ward in Brooklyn was mum
dated by raging waters which washed out
the foundations of houses, tore down troll
ley and telegraph poles, imprisoned people
in their houses and nearly drowned some
who were caught by the flood. The dam
age will reach several hundred thousand dol
lars the police think S500000. The great
water main at Hobo street and Central ave-
nue. burst at o'clock this morning. This
main is four feet in diameter and when the
pressure became too great the water shot
UP eight feet in the air, tearing hole in the
pipe itself seven fest long and half of its
circumference For the first hour l,500, 900
gallons, it is estimated, rushed through the
streets and there was little diminution for
three hours. The flood came so suddenly
that several persons were caught and three
were rescued by life lines. Every house in
the twenty blocks was flooded and a num-
Der of them so badly damaged that they
will fall if they are not pulled down. Hun

RESIGNATION RUM0RS
CONFIRMED BY COMMANDER OF
BRYAN's CORPS
The Silver Colonel's Successor Dec
Grated With the Chinese Order of
the Double Dragon

SAVANNAH, Ga, Dec. 1l.-General
Keifer who is in command of the remain
ing troops of the Seventh army corps since
General Lees departure for Cuba, tonight
confirms the rumor Of Col. w. j. Bryan 5
resignation of his command. Both Gen
eral Lee and General Keifer endeavored to
induce Col. Bryan TO 90 to Cuba, but We're
unsuccessful.
Lieut-Col Viiquain of the Third Nebras-
ka regiment, who will succeed Col. Bryan
upon the latter's resignation, received no
tice today from the Chinese legation at
Washington that the emperor of China had
conferred upon him the DECORATION OF the
Order Of the Double Dragon in recognition
OF his services to the Chinese residents OF
the republic Of Colombia when he was
United States consul at Panama.
eut-Col. Nifquain is graduate of the
Royal military academy Of Brussels and
served in the service Of the present king
OF Belgium. He served throughout the
civil war in the Union army and was brevet-
ed brigadier general by Abraham Lincoln.
The herald., 1898-12-12

shall always account it good fortune to
have personally met him. 1t seems hard,
indeed, that just as the cause for which he
did SO much is triumphing,' he should have
been called from life. 1t was his great am
hilton to see Cuba free and Independent,
with n government chosen by the people OF
the island and he would have done more
than almost any one else to bring all TINS
about. For his death to occur at such
fine must be hard blow to all of you.
'eYou can have the consolation, however,
of knowing that his good name and great
services and character will live to inspire
him who will take up his work and carry IT
forward to that ultimate and complete TIL
umph SO Justly deserved. Very truly, etc,

FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS
The arrangements for the funeral OF Gen
eral Garcia have not been completed. The
exnectation is that services will be held IN
nne of the Catholic churches, possibly st.
Patrick's, ON Tuesday, after which the re
mains will be placed temporarily IN a re-
ceiving vault, pending final nterment IN
Cuba. There having been as yet no oil
fetal recognition given the commission by
tbe president, it seems unlikely that there
will be any official participation as such, al
though it is expected that members OF the
cabinet and members of congress may at
tend in their individual capacity.
WORK WILL CONTINUE
The members of the commission feel
keenly the blow which has befallen them in
the death of their leader, who they say was
a man of intelligence, valor, energy and
probity, in whom the great majority OF peo-
ple had absolute confidence.
The work in hand, they say, will con-
tinue without interruption, and the ideas
and views held by General Garcia will be
impressed on all that is done. While it is
possible that another chairman may be
chosen by the Cuban assembly, yet the COM
missioners say that it is not essential, as
those now here are thoroughly equipped TO
take up the work where their leader laid ii
down

AFFAIRS AT HAVANA
Remains of Columbus to Be Taken to
Spain

HAVANA. Dec. 1.-THE ashes Of Co.
lumbus will be transferred with military
aud sacredotal ceremonies tomorrow from
the cathedral to the Conde de Nenadito, and
the cruiser will sail for Cadiz, conveyed by
two gunboats.
Great destitution prevails among the
laboring classes in Havana. There has
been no steady employment since the
blockade began last April, the only food
available being corn meal. The local au-
thorities can do nothing more, as their funds
are exhausted. Doctors, nurses, medical
supplies, rice, condensed milk, crackers,
bacon and canned beef are needed at
once and in sufficient quantities for 10000
people.
The United States transport Roumonia,
with the First North Carolina regiment, en-
tered port this morning. The regiment
will probably lard tomorrow afternoon, 60
ing to the Quemados camp By the end OF
the week probably 5000 American troops will
be encamped at Playa de Marnao.
