DEAD IN A BATH TUB.
Hon. william Strut. Second Son Of Lord
Belper, Dies In II Bath Tub
In st. Louis.

st. Louis, Oct. 6.-Hon. William
Strut, second son of Lord Belper, of
Kingston, Derbyshire, England. and a
nephew of Lady Dunmore, who is now
visiting in st. Louis, was found dead
in bathtub at the West End hotel.
Mystery surrounds the death, and it
is not clear whether it was self-infiict-
ed, or resulted from drowning while
the Englishman was suffering from
an epileptic attack.
Mr.. Strut had not been seen since
Monday afternoon. When the body
was found decomposition had devei-
oped, and the physicians said he had
been dead at least As hours.
Lady Dunmore, his mother, was a
prominent figure at the Yelled Proph-
cts ball, and was pointed out to the
visitors as a member of the British
nobility, and consequently a person of
interest.
She was dressed in beautiful gown
of golden brown silk with a fichu of
old lace. evidently an heirloom. The
costume was greatly enhanced by a
very valuable set of diamonds.

Indians Determined to Resist.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. 5.-The
Journals staff correspondent wires as
follows from Walker, Mimi:
The Indians are apparently deter
mined to resist the troops. Capt. Ed
Lucian has just come in with the tug
Vera. She had to put into Bear island
on accountof heavy weather, and was
at once seized by the Pillagers. Her
fires were pulled out, and the boat tied
up by the Indians. They threatened
Lucian with death unless he revealed
the strength of the military forces,
and time start would be made from
Walker. Lucian could not give the in
formation they wanted, and was held
until daylight and then released. He
says the bucks were in war paint and
feathers.

HERO Of THE PHILIPPINES.
Mckinley Favors the Revival of the
Grade of Vice-Admiral Of
the Navy.
THEN GIVE THE GOOD JOB 70 DEWEY.
Fg Age in 1899, But the President
Would Like to See the Law Changed
So that Dewey Could Hold Ten Years
Longer.

New York, Oct. Ga special to the
Herald from Washington says: Presi-
dent Mckinley and Secretary of the
Navy Long have determined to recon-
mend to congress the revival of the
grade of vice-admiral, to be filed by
the promotion of Rear-Admiral Dewey.
VIII Tell Congress About Dewey.
President Mckinley, in his annual
message, and Secretary Long, in his
annual report, ,intend to devote con-
siderable space TO the achievements
of the Asiatic squadron under the
commission of Rear-Admiral Dewey,
and the splendid judgment and di-
plomatic tact that officer has dis
played in handling the many difficult
questions which arose before the ar
rival of the American troops and the
capture of Manila.
Want the Law changed In Dewys Favor.
As under existing law Rear-Admi-
raj Dewey will reach the retiring age
in December, 1899, there is strong
probability that Secretary Long will
also urge that congress pass a law per-
uniting the retention of that officer
upon the active list for an additional
ten years. \ law permitting such ac-
ton in the case of officers receiving
the thanks of congress for gallant
conduct in the civil war is now on the
statute books, but the authorities
would be glad to see the law changed,
so that officers of the recent and flu
ture wars be similarly rewarded
There is little doubt that congress will
willingly adopt the recommendation
regarding Rear-Admiral Dewey's adj
vancement.

THOSE INDIAN TROUBLES
Santiago Veterans Have Taken the
Field Against the Unruly
Pillagers.
GENERAL CHIPPEWA UPRISING FEARED.
Resist the Troops. and Will Make Start
at Little Boy Lake-Settlers are Terror
Stricken, but Precautions Have Been
Taken for Their Safety.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. 6.-The
Journals staff correspondent wires
from Walker, Mimi:
Gen. Bacon, with his Santiago vet
Grams from the Third infantry, left
at an early hour for Bear island, de-
termined to bring the recalcitrant Pill
lager Indians to terms at once, and
by force IL necessary. He chartered
two steamboats, and barge, and had
Calling and Hotchkiss aboard
with which to clear the island of pos
sible ambushes. The men are under
the immediate command of Capt. Will
kinson. A corporal's squad will be sent
from FIT. Smelling to Bena. across
Leech Lake from Walker, to protect
government property and records at
the engineering station. 1t is also
possible that the soldiers from the
Fourteenth Minnesota volunteers at
Duluth will be sent to protect the gov
eminent dam at Winnebogoshish.
Approximations OF a General Uprising.
There are some apprehensions here
of a general Chippewa uprising. The
various branches of the Chippewas in
this vicinity have about GOO fighting
men, and could make much trouble if
they joined the Pillagers. The au-
thorities, however, do not share in The
apprehension, and believe the matter
will be speedily settled. Gus Beaulcu,
who has Chippewa blood in his veins,
and who is a fast friend of the tribe,
is confident that he can settle the diff
ficulty. He has gone to Bear island,
promising to bring in Bog Ah-Mah-Le-
Shig, the cause of the trouble and the
leader of the malcontents.

FRESH INSTRUCTIONS.
rhey Were Wired the Am erican Commis-
sioners In Paris, and Are In Regard
to the Philippines.

| Washington, Oct. 6.-As a result Of
| a consultation at the White House be-
tween the president, Secretary Hay
| and Secretary Long, fresh instruc-
| tions regarding the Philippines have
been wired to the American commits
sioners in Paris. They do not ma
terially alter those given to the dele
gates before their departure for
France, but on a new point brought
| up since the consultation of Maj .-Gen@
Merritt with the American repre-
sentatives. A cipher dispatch was re-
| ceived by Secretary Hay regarding the
latter, and he considered the question
SO important that he at once went to
the White House and laid il before the
president. Mr.. Mckinley sent for Sec
rotary Hay and shortly after Second
Assistant Secretary of State Adee was
called to the Executive Mansion.
These officials were closeted together
for more than an hour.
All of the officials who participated
in conference are reticent. but it was
admitted that the consultation was
held to discuss a dispatch from Chair
man Day regarding the Philippines.
Philippine Question Comes First.
1t was ascertained that the pro-
gramme which the commission is fol-
lowing requires the disposition of the
questions affecting the archipelago be-
fore any other questions are consid-
cred. The president has been in
formed of Gen. Merritt's views in favor
of the retention of all of the islands,
but the fresh instructions do not af-
feet the demand for the island of
Luzon and revesionary rights over the
remainder of the group. They relate
more to a matter of detail and equip
the American commissioners with an
swers for the Spanish commissioners
in case they should raise the point in
the reply to the formal demand pre-
sented by Mr.. Day.
Work Will Soon be Completed.
This reply is expected on Friday and
the adjournment of the commission
for short time is regarded by Mr.. Day
and the administration as indicating
that the commissions work will soon
be completed. 1t is recognized that
the Philippines will be the bone of
contention, and that once they are out
of the way it will be pretty plain sail
ing in the matter of arranging for the
cession of Guamuba, Porto Rico and
the remaining Spanish West Indies to
the United States.
Power Given Mr. Day.
Mr.. Day is empowered, however, to
interrupt the commissions work any
time in case he should find that Spain
is either unwilling to agree to the de-
mands of this government or disposed
unnecessarily to delay the commits
sion's work, and naval demonstra-
ton will follow, which the authorities
are satisfied will bring the Madridgo
eminent to its senses.
Senior Felipe Agoncillo, the repre-
sentative of the insurgents command
ed by Aguinaldo, will be permitted to
lay before the commission any facts
which he may desire to present, and
the American commissioners have
been advised of his coming.
