We understand that are certain agents

company or the agents, or both, were
fakes. The information comes too late
to verify before we go to press. We
would warn farmers and others from
giving notes r.cash to strangers for in
surance or anything else. When it comes
to insurance there is no need of dealing
with strangers. There are reputable.
known agents of good, solid companies
in every town in the county. When you
insure you want to be insured. The
average man knows but little of the
standing OF insurance companies. He
may easily know and usually does know
the standing of local agents who under
stand the business. Better depend upon
them than a stranger who represents
something you don't know anything
about. Next week we will find out about

Sunday was taken to Jamestown by
Deputy Sheriff Brown. Another insane
patient Gudmunder Simundson ofMoun-
tain is held here waiting for permission
from the asylum authorities for admis-
sion. The state asylum is over crowded
and they claim that they cannot admit
any more until some are discharged.
They want the county to take out and
care for one or two patients, who though
incurable are yet harmless. There are a
very large number of insane in the state
in proportion to population and the ex-
pense of caring for them is very great,
and an addition to the hospital seems to
be an immediate necessity.

EDITOR RUN OUT.
Chased From His Office by a Mob, and
Compelled to Flee for His Life for
Remarks About the American Flag

Fort Scott, Kas., May George e.
Bowman. an associate editor of the
Appeal to Reason a socialist paper,
published at Girard, and who was the
socialist candidate for Lieutenant Gov
ernor of Rhode Island two years ago,
has been compelled to fee from Girard
to save his life from a mob of citizens
incensed at an article he wrote for the
paper.
While sitting in the newspaper Office
he was notified by a friend of the APP
proach of a mob, which had hemp
rope, intending to hang him. He es-
capped through the rear door and ran to
this city, a distance of twenty-five
miles, without money or baggage.
Chief Editor Wayland had grave
fears of repetition of the Lovejoy af-
fair with his newspaper Office.
The article which SO incensed the
people referred to the national flag as
a piece Of painted rag, tied to a stick.
He was criticising the worship Of the
flag without regard for fellow Great
ures. Mr.. Bowman came from Provi-
dence, r. l., about a year ago. He
has left here and is en- route to Wash
ington State.

Board was in session for time lo-uay

derstood that the course Of the Spanish
fleet, which left Cape Verde Friday, is
a source of much interest. If, as re-
ported, the feet is actually coming this
way. it will be hailed with delight by
naval authorities here. What they have
most feared was that the Spanish ships
would hug the other side, compelling
our fleets to go in quest of them. If
they come to Porto. Rico it will meet
the best hopes Of the naval authorities
here.

the head of the Auxiliary Board buying

1T WAS A VICTORY.

Madrid, May 1.-The time of the re-
treat of the American squadron be-
hind the merchantmen was 1880 a. N.
The naval bureau of Manila sends the
following report, signed "Montejo, Adj
miral:"
In the middle OF the night the
American squadron forced the forts
and before daybreak appeared off
Cavite. The night was completely
dark. At half-past seven the bow of
the Reina Maria Christina took fire and
soon after the poop also was burned.
At O'Clock with my staff, l went on
board the Isle of Cuba. The Reina
Maria Christina and the Catilla were
then entirely enveloped in flames.
The other ships having been dam
aged, retired into Baker Bay. Some
had to be sunk to prevent their fall
ing into the hands of the enemy. The
losses are numerous, notably Captain
Cadarzo, a priest and nine other per-
sons"

pipe in the adjoining building, occupied

ENGLISH PRAISE.

London. May 1.-While it is quite
clear that the Spanish squadron has
suffered a crushing defeat, the dis
patches leave unclear the intensely in
teresting question whether the Amer
lean squadron has suffered material
damage.
All news thus far comes from Span
ish sources, but it seems evident that
Commodore Dewey has not captured
Manila Unless he is able to make
another attack and capture the town,
having no base upon which to retire
and TO refit.
Probably, therefore, the United States
squadron will be obliged to make for
San Francisco. as the entrance to Ma
Mia Bay YVES heavily mined with tor
pedoes.
Commodore Dewey displayed great
pluck and daring in making for the
inner harbor According 10 private adj
wees received from Madrid the united
States cruisers Olympia, Raleigh and
two other vessels, the names Of which
are not given, entered the harbor.
No dispatches give details as to the
vessels actually engaged on either side.
1t appears to be incorrect that the
American ships finally anchored be-
hind the merchantmen on the east side
of the bay. 1t should be the west side.
Probabilities point in the direction
Of the second engagement having oc-
Cured through the Spanfards trying to
prevent the landing of the American
wounded.
Reliable details cannot tte had until
Commodore Dewey's squadron is able
to communicate with Hong Kong.
There is, however, suspicious frank
ness about the Spanish dispatches that
savors of desire to break unpleasant
news to the SpaniarGS. 1t is not I'M
likely. therefore, that Commodore
Dewey may be able to renew the at
tack.

THE ARMY Of INVASION.
Continued from First Page.

The weather in Cuba, Gen. Nunez
says, will be excellent until June 10TH.
Americans there should taste no Gu
ban fruit of any kind and must use
boiled water The insurgents have
had much sickness during the rainy
season; but this has been due to the
fact that they have camped in forests
and swamps.
Malarial fever resulted and the Gu
ban troops were generally without
quinine There has been no yellow
fever among them at any time, and,
according to Gen. Nunez, Americans
in the Cuban army have usually been
exempt from all disease.
There is much fever at Havana, Ma
tanzas and Cienfuegos during the
summer because of unsanitary con-
ditions On the other hand, Sagua la
Grande is healthful always. The
Spanish troops are
DECIMATED BY DISEASE,
Gen. Nunez says, because not clearly
and because of improper food. He
would favor sending shoes, rifles and
horses to the Cuban soldiers The
Cubans are splendid horsemen, but
their mounts have been killed and
their shoes worn out.
When last heard from Gen. Maxine
Gomez had in all the armies $4,000
able-bodied men. Since that time,
there has been no fighting of conse-
quence, and the Cuban armies must
now be in better condition except in
the matter of clothing. There is
abundant forage everywhere in t4e
island.
There is no truth whatever in the
report of the execution last evening
of Jose Yglesias, who is under sur
veillance on the monitor Puritan as
the result of suspicious behavior near
one of the magazines last Wednes-
day evening. He has not even been
placed on trial.

THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON.

Washington, May l. Washington
Is rejoiced tonight:
Not since the dark days of the great
civil conflict of a third of a century
ago have the people of this city been
so profoundly moved by war news as
they were this evening.
The first battle of the Hispano-
American war has been fought and
victory lies with Admiral Dewey's
squadron under the Stars and Stripes.
This was enough to set the people
of Washington almost in frenzy of
enthusiastic rejoicing
The first news of the battle received
gram to the Associated Press from
Madrid about o'clock this evening.
AS the night wore on the cable con-
tinued to sing the news of victory for
the squadron of Admiral Dewey and
the interest grew into tremendous ex-
element.
Ordinarily Washington is the quet-
est of cities on Sunday, but as bulle-
tin after bulletin was posted in front
of the newspaper offices, each sue
cessive one conveying information
more gratifying than its predecessor,
the crowds in the streets became up
roarious. Hundreds gathered in front
OF the bulletin boards and every scin-
tilla of news, and it was all glorious,
was received with enthusiastic cheers.
While victory has bSen expected, the
news of it coming, as it did come, from
Spanish sources. gave vent to the pa
triotism OF the people which has been
pent up for days. 1t was a spontane-
Gus outburst of patriotic feeling that
ey's name was on every lip, and his
praises were sung in the rejoicings of
the people.
The President, in company with sew
eral of his advisers. read the bulletins
in the library of the White House early
in the evening, but later in the night
he went TO his Office on the second
floor of the Executive Mansion where,
until a late hour, he continued TO
peruse every dispatch with deepest in
terest. The news was evidently Of the
most gratifying character TO him. but
no statement could be obtained at the
Executive Mansion concerning the bat
tie or its possible consequences.
Officials of the Navy Department
were reticent in discussing the conflict
in the absence of official information,
bur they made no pretense Of conceal
ing their qualification.
An opinion freely expressed tonight
by naval officers is that the very decis-
i've victory of Admiral Deweys feet
will mean probably an early end to the
war without further naval battles of
