There seems to be little doubt that
Cuban insurgents along the shore
fired upon and killed a number of
Spanish sailors who were struggling
in the surf and across the beach in
their efforts to escape from Cervera's
shattered fleet. At first thought this
will strike the average American as
an exhibition of wanton barbarity.
But the average American cannot
put himself in the place of the Cuban
lnsurgent, nor feel as the Cuban
father, husband or brother feels who
has experienced nothing save evil
dences of Spanish cruelty during the
past three years. There are thous.
ands of men in the Cuban army
whose aged fathers and mothers,
whose wives and sisters and children
have been subjected to unspeakable
atrocities at the hands of the Span
iards. These men cannot think of
the nice points involved in the
treatment of a disabled foe. They
have been taught by bitter expert
ence to think only of vengeance.
No quarter has been shown them or
their families, and they are prepared
to give none. Barbarous the attack
upon the unfortunate Spanish sailors
certainly was, but the history of
Cuba for the past three years is a
chapter of barbarities, and if the
insurgents are brutes they have been
brutalized by the representatives of
a nation that lays claim to advanced
civilization.

OUR NEW ISLAND TERRITORY.

When President Mckinley signed
the Newlands resolution a week ago
last evening the Hawaiian islands
became a part of the United States.
The formallties of annexation will
not change this fact. The presidents
action in signing the resolutions was
notifications to the world that the
islands had been annexed.

largest island of the group, Hawaii,
has an area of 1875 square miles and
a population OF $4,000. The island
next in size is Maui. This has
population OF about $4,000. The
third island in size is Oahu. This is
about forty miles long by twenty

the capital. The fourth island, At
auai or Kauai has an area of 780

and is claimed by the Hawaiian gov
ernment. The islands have been
practically occupied by the United
States as a coaling station and rest.

the Philippines. The government is
self supporting and there will be no
special burden to the United States
as an incident of annexation.

ANOTHER TRAGEDY
Added to the Long List in Con-
nectiOn With the Drey-
fuS Case.

Paris, Sept. 24-Madame Paulmier,
wife of NJ Charles Ernst PauImier,
member of the chamber of deputies
from the department of Calvades, has
added another tragedy to the bewilder-
ing intricacies of the Dreyfus plot.
Madame Paulmier entered the offices
of La Lanterne and asked to see M.
Milerand. NJ. Milerand was absent, and
NJ olivier, who was present, stepped
forward to receive the lady, who, with
out waiting for an explanation, whip
ped out a revolver and fired twice. NJ.
olivier fell to the floor wounded. He
was taken to a hospital.
Madame Paulmier was taken into
custody and when questioned answered
coolly: 4 wished to kill NJ. A1ilerand. -
She explained that La Lanterne had
slandered herself and her husband be-
cause her husband had written the let
ter to General Chanoine, the minister
of war, with reference to putting a stop
to the attacks upon the army provoked
by the Dreyfus affair.
The military authorities have accom-
plished their plan of sitting Colonel
Piquart by placing him au secret. Col.
Piquart's friends have been denied ad-
mission to the prison. His counsel,
the office of the clerk of the court mar
tial and applied for permission to see
his client On both occasions he was
informed that PicQuart had been placed
au secret and could be seen only on an
order from the authorities, which order

Unanimously agreed by the joint commit
tee that the rules and regulations of the
clergy bureaus in both associations should
agree in every respect as to the CHARACTER
and classes of persons to whom halt rare
permits or credentials should be issued.
1T was also agreed and is respectfully
recommended that the chairmen or poth
associations shall at an early date confer
together with a view of reconciling any
differences between the methods employed
by both associations in the conduct of
passenger traffic under the clergy bu-
reaus; it being thought particularly de-
sirable that there should be an open and
friendly interchange of views and ideas
and statistics in the protection of revenue
between the chairman. of both associa-
tions, and that by conference and other
wise Chairmen Donald and Caldwell
should outline and recommend such ad-
ditional legislation as may be necessary
to protect both associations alike against
those who misuse clergy permits or ere
dentiaIs or who decline to comply with
the rules and regulations of the individ-
uaI railway lines over which such creden-
tials are hohored for reduced rates"

KANSAS wooLEN MILLS.
Great Promises in Building Announc-
ed by Santa Fe Industrial
Commission.

Several wooden mills at various points
in the state, a sugar refinery or two in
the southwestern section, and several
cotton mills in Oklahoma are scheduled
for establishment next year as a result
of the efforts of James A. Davis, indus
trial commissioner of the Santa Fe
Mr.. Davis has been devoting much of
his attention lately to Kansas and Ok
lahoma with particular reference to the
establishment of wooden and cotton
mills respectively. He has succeeded in
interesting eastern capitalists in these
two branches of industry in the west
and is now able to announce that in all
probability several wooden and cotton
mills will follow the opening of the new
year.
Oklahoma annually grows sufficient
cotton to support a number of cotton
mills within its borders. The herds Of
Colorado and New Mexico sheep offer
plenty of opportunity for securing wool
for the Kansas mills Mr.. Davis is con-
ident there is big money in both indus
tries.
He also believes that sugar cane can
be raised successfully in the southwest
ern part of the state, and is endeavor-
ing to encourage enterprise in this di-
rection. At one time there was a sugar
refinery in operation at Medicine Lodge,
and through the efforts of Mr.. Davis
it is probable that new one will be es-
tabliShed there, and sugar cane raised
extensively in that section,

CAUSES OF STAGNATION.
Commission toInvestigate New York'i

New York, Sept. 24.-The commerce

WESTERN ROADS DIsoBEY.
Will Not Relinquish the So Chicago
Switching Charge.

Chicago, Sept. 24.-Another case involv-
ing the legality of the 81 switching charge
a the stOckyards undoubtedly will be car
ried to khe supreme court. Western roads,
it is asserted, have refused to obey the
order of the interstate commerce commits
sion requiring the exaction of no more
than 81 for the service, and the Chicago
Live Stock Exchange means to carry the
case further.
Several weeks ago the interstate com
merce commission made ruling, fixing.
the proper charge al, 81, exactly one-half
of what has been collected for years. A
few days ago attorneys of the western
railroads had a meeting, at which the
opinion was reached that the transporta-
ton companies might legally exact a 81
charge, Notwithstanding the ruling of the
commerce commission. The general So
ucitOrS did not recommend that the pres
ent charge be continued, or that it be cut
in two: they simply passed upon the legal
points in the case and left it to the execu-
tive officers of the roads to decide what
shall be done. 1t has been expected that
these executives would meet for discus
sion of the matter. Yesterday it was un-
officially given out, however, that no meet
ing would be held and that the present
charge will be continued.
Attorney .Tomhnson, who has represent
ed the Chicago Live Stock Exchange in
the controversy, said yesterday that he
understood that the western roads would
take no further action At the same time
he declared that his clients would carry
the case further.

A FINE DISTINCTION.
Chicago Journals Idea of Nickerson,
Kan, Railroad People.

Chicago Journal: In Nickerson. Kan, as
in other railroad towns, there is distinct
graduation of society among the. wives, ac-
cording to their husbands position on the
road
A former resident of that town, who is
now living in Chicago, says that the lines
are drawn very distinctly at Nickerson.
The passenger conductors wives hold
themselves a little higher than the SpouSes
of the freight conductors, and the latter
in turn look down upon passenger en-
gineers' families. These take out their
pride on the freight engineers, and from
there it passed down to the passenger
brakemen, the freight brakemen and the
switchmen and their families.
Charles Rogers had just been promoted
from being a freight conductor to the
charge of a passenger train. His wife
gloried in his good fortune and proceeded
to make the most of it, as her social am
bition was as bOundlesS as many in wider
spheres
Mrs. Rogers wanted instant recognition
of f7her higher position. Her old acquaint-
anees were therefore all honored with a
call from the lady and each one of them
was informed OF the readjustment in the
social scale by a visiting card which read: :

STREET FAIR A SUCCESS.
Society and a Flower Parade Att ract
the Attention of Peoria

Peoria, Ill, Sept. 24.-Yesterday was
sOciety's day at the big street fair, the
flower parade being the chief feature of
the entertainment. All of the swell
turnouts of the city were decorated
with flowers and there were, besides,
artisticalIy decorated floats, represent
ing the seasons. Mrs. Frank T. Corn
ing, with a victoria decorated with red
chrysanthemums, won the first prize
Mrs. J. Lee Newton, with trap decor
ated with purple clematis, won the Sec
one; Mrs. L. p Wolf, driving ponies
and wagon decorated with pink roses
won the third, and Mrs. Mcdowell, with
drag decorated with red pOppies, won
the fourth.
There were buggies and traps decor
ated with geraniums, golden-rOd, dais-
les and carnations. Prizes were also
given for the most grOtesque turnout.
The flower parade was the prettiest
event Of the kind ever given here and
was by all odds the best attraction of
the street fair. Hundreds of visitors
were in the city. Last night there was
a bicycle parade. The street fair, which
is a large success. will close tonight.

Chicago, Sept. 24.-Prominent citizens
of Chinatown are satisfied that an
armistice has been declared between
the secret organizations known as the
Sam Yup and See Yup societies. Ac-
cOrding to Sam Moy the truce is being
kept by each side.
HO Vow, the Chinese consul at San
Francisco, is responsible for this state
of affairs. The Sam Yups and See
Yups engaged in a relentless war in
California, both organizations having
their origin there. The Yups succeeded
in committing many murders and the

this week 1t is a convOcatiOn of the
Indian clergy and laity of the Episco-

of Indians from the different reserva-
