The Sultan of Turkey says he is
so much impressed with the terrible
execution done by the American war
ships at Manila and Santiago that he
has ordered for his own navy, similar
guns TO those used by the victors OF
these two fights. But the guns alone
will not be effective. It is the men
behind the guns who count. The
Spaniards had good cannon and so
have all the other nations OF Europe,
but neither Spain or any other ma
ton has men to handle them who
equal the Americans. From the
war Of independence onward the
United States gunners have shown
their superiority il every conflict In

ed The talent which makes the

HE MADE A MISTAKE.
Things Have Not Gone According to
Insurgent Calculations.

Correspondence Associated Press.1
Copyright, 1898, by Associated Press)
Manila, Aug. 19-Felpe BuencaminO
is a FilinipO who was friendly to Spain
and joined in the arrangement whereby
the Spaniards hoped to conciliate the
rebel leaders without sacrificing too
much. He was sent to AguinaldO's
camp by Captain General August with
the object of securing AguinaldO's ad-
herence to the Spanish cause. He was
arrested by the dictator's orders and
held a prisoner. Three weeks after
wards he issued a manifesto renouncing
his allegiance to Spain.
Accompanying his manifesto was a
letter from BuencaminO to Captain
General August setting forth the Wri-
ter's reason for going over to the insur-
gents. Much of the letter refers to
events of no special Importance at this
distance from the theater OF action, be
ing devoted mainly to the opening Of
hOstilities between the Spanish and ma
tiveS, and to telling General August
that he had come to the Philippines too
late to heal the breach created by his
bribery and advOcation of the domina-
ton of the friars. After pointing out
the hOpelessness of Augustus position
IN Manila, BuencamlnO sums up the sit
uatiOn at the time of writing as follows:
Having relied on the ValOr and worth
of the Spanfards and on history and
Wanted superiority of race, offered my
Fiiipinos as VoIIiY,teArs to tIefand S6ain
against her foes. but in view of their mis-
cradle exhibition of cOWardice and stu
pidity, ending in their capture by the reb-
els without resisting as they ought and
always making my volunteers take the
brunt of the fighting, I am convinced that
the Spaniards are not brave, are not our
SuperiOrS and are altogether incapab BILE of
UNFOLDING their sovereignty in the Philip
pines. From the moment this was clear,
they have forfeited the right to rule US
and my duty of loyalty to them ceases at
the same time.
T., therefore, join with the rebels and
which 1 perceive to be clear sanctioned
by God, the eternal judge of all great dis
puteS between human nations. In fact
God, in his great wisdom, decreed that in
the sixteenth century fifty Spanish sol
diers and one friar should conquer these
islands, and today, after $50 years of
domination, God DEGREES that a humble
individual, almost unknown, named Don
Emilio Aguinaldo, is to carry out the
mighuest rebellion in the far east"

HAMILTON COMMENDED.
The Topeka Lieutenant Given Great
Sendof by General King.

In reply to an inquiry from Mr.. Eu-
gene Ware in regard to the progress Of
Lieutenant Clad Hamilton, Brigadier
General Charles King has written from
Camp Merritt as follows:
Z assure you that no words are need
ed to bring to favorable attention so
Jealous, efficient and deserving an Off
Ger as Lieutenant Clad Hamilton of the
Twentieth Kansas.
Starting at the bottom he was the
first man of his regiment to win a COM
mission. Within three months of his en-
listment as a private, he is one of the
most competent and conspicuous in
structOrs in the big detachments of re-
cruits attached to this brigade, and I
have rarely met a young soldier of more
brilliant promise, either in the regular
service or the volunteers.
You have good reason to be proud
of Lieutenant Hamilton, and could you
have seen the Twentieth Kansas as it
passed in review yesterday before the
division and department commanders
you would have been proud of the whole
regiment. I was, and am, and hope to
have TENN with me many a day"

FEVER AT KEY WEST.
Ten Cases of yellow Jack at the Ma
rine Hospital

Key West, Aug. 19.-With the excep-
ton of the gunboat Princeton and mon
itor MiantonOmah, which have been
sent to the Dry TOrtugas, all the ships
of the fleet have been ordered to Nor
folk without delay and many have all
ready departed. The naval base has
been transferred from Key West to
Norfolk. The reason of this is the ap-
pearance of yellow fever here. There
are now ten cases in the marine bar
racks, all the victims being marines.
Forty persons in all are in the building,
which is an old cigar factory and a
most rigid quarantine is being main
tanned.
Only one of the cases is said to be
serious. Whether there are any scat
tered cases throughout the town is not
known, but this will be determined by q
house to house inspection. The marine
hospital and local physicians are conf
dent that the disease will be confined
to the barracks and that there is no
danger Of an epidemic.
The utmost precautions are being OBJ
serced, however, and State Health Of
ficer Porter. who arrived on the Mas
colt, refused to permit that steamer to
leave her port on her return to Tampa.
He will decide whether or not a quar-
antine of Key West shall be declared.
Later the Mascot, which carries an
immense crew, was allowed to sail, but
without any passengers.

THIS, A PRETTY STORY.
How Larned Girl Sat on Telegraph
Wires and Herded Cattle.

The Kansas City Times publishes the
following special from Larned today:
A little 13-year-old Pawnee county
miss, Bertha Leonard, has lately given
the Western Union and Postal TeIe-
graph companies an unlimited amount
of trouble in a most unique and pecu-
liar way. Bertha's daily duty was to
herd and watch a large drove of cat
tie, whose range was near the Western
Union and Postal telegraph lines.
For some time past at irregular inter
walls during almost every day these lines
absolutely failed to work, and the trou-
BILE seemed to be some where in the vi
entity of where this girl ranged her
fathers cattle, but try as the line re-
located. Finally it was discovered
that Bertha, in order to get a better
view of the herd, had driven railroad
spikes into a telegraph pole, so that
she could climb it, and that she would
whenever she got weary watching the
cattle from the ground, climb the pole,
pull up a board by means of a cord
place it across the wires, seat herself
on the board and spend an hour or
uniquely improvised elevated station.
Whenever the board happened to be
damp or wet, and the frequent rains
this year have kept the board wet most
all the time, it destroyed the electric
current and practically cut off all tele-
graphic communication between Denver
and Kansas City.
When discovered and informed of the
damage she was doing to the business
" surprised and was apparently utterly
ignorant of the fact that her seat on the
wires interfered in the slightest degree
with the working of the lines.

Stenographer Recorded Candidate
Martins Speech at Usage City.

Usage City Kan, Aug. 19-The fusion
campaign was opened in the Fourth
congressional district at Usage City
yesterday, and despite a heavy rain
during the past two nights, the crowd
was large and greatly exceeded the ex-
pectations of the morning The Lyndon
band was present and headed the pro-
cession to Kibbes grove.
H s. Martin, candidate for congress,
was the first speaker introduced, ana
held the undivided attention of the
crowd to his patriotic address.
He favored liberal pension laws and
less department red tape, criticised the
issuance of interest-bearing bonds ana
believed the expenses of the war should
have been paid by issuing greenbackS
and taxing incomes and corporations.
Senator W. A. Harris was next IN
PRODUCED. Speaking upon the war, he
said this was an American war, not a
Republican one. The men behlnd the
guns knew no politics; that the tariff
was a dead issue, as proved by the de-
felt of the Dingley bill, and the great
issues of the future were taxation, SA-

NEW ROCK ISLAND DEPOT.
Company Contemplates Building in
Kansas City.

Kansas City, Aug. 19-It Is said that
the Rock Island railroad company has
in contemplation the erection OF an i'm
mense freight depot and cold storage
plant at Twelfth and Wyoming
streets. There is no doubt but that this
depot win be built if the officials of
that road are permitted to carry out
their plans
1t seems, however, that there is a
property owner on the corner of Twelfth
and Wyoming who refuses to sell his
property at a reasonable price. This
stands somewhat in the way of the
Rock Islands plans, as the property
which it owns is located in the middle
of the block. The company has tried
to buy the saloon mans property but
he demands a fabulous price for it,
which the Rock Island refuses to pay.
General Agent Staley said last night
that the Rock Island would like to in
crease its facilities in handling freight,
but that it did not intend to pay sever
al prices for real estate.
Some time ago the Rock Island rec
Ognized the value OF having increased
freight terminals in Kansas City, and
began to buy up property in the vicinity
of Twelfth and Wyoming streets.
Some of the property owners along this
section became aware of the project,
and increased the price of the real es-

MR.. STANLEY TAKEN IN.
A Confidence Game Worked on the
Republican Candidate for Governor.

story is related by Dave Leahy
who was a fellow citizen of Mr. W. z.
Stanley at the time, which shows Mr..
Stanley to have been the victim OF a
decidedly mean confidence game at
Wichita some years ago. Mr.. Leahy's
story is:
James Cairns was a wholesale liquor
dealer at Wichita and failed in bust
ness. A great deal of money, in var
ious bills, was coming to him from the
jointkeepers. Stanley was a great
friend of his and, as the story goes, he
persuaded his colIea CUES on the board
that it would be the proper thing to
enforce the prohibitory law by contract.
The result was that Mr.. Stanley offered
Mr.. Cairns 81 coo if he would close the
saloons in Wichita The offer was ac-
cepted, and, besides the bonus. Mr..
Cairns was made chief of police at
salary of 500 per month.
Mr.. Cairns put on his marshals
badge and went around among the Sa-
looms and in a few days he made all
his personal collections, approximately
81, 600. This done, he gave the jOintistS
a tip that in order for the board to
carry a certain point with the state ad-
ministration at Topeka it would be
necessary for them to close up and stay
closed for three days. All the jOintists
agreed, thinking that Stanley had some
object in it for the ultimate interest,
and remained closed for three days.
when it became known that the
joints were closed Stanley called a
praise ana song meeting anu great was
the rejoicing. No sooner was this over,
and its effect apparent on his col
leagues, than he called a meeting of
the board and had the 1000 allowed to
Mr. Cairns. The next day the saloons
opened up again. Mr.. Cairns resigned
as chief of police, assigning as cause
that he couldn't enforce the laws. Sim
uItaneously Mr.. Stanley wrote a letter
to Governor Humphrey, which was
literally sprinkled with tear drops. re-
