Has Spain a Secret Ally.

An order has been issued by the war
department directing at least 10 regi-
ments of the regular army now sta
toned in northwestern forts to hold
themselves in readiness for immediate
service in tropical climates. These
regiments will be recuited to their full
strength. 1t is believed that the u. S.
government desires to be in readiness
TO resume hostilities if Spain refuses
to accept the peace terms. In this con-
nection an intimation has got about to
the effect that during the delay in the
peace negotiations, Spain has been able
to form some sort of coalition with
European powers.
The London Daily Graphic says:
1.-THE Spanish trans Atlantic fleet has
orders to be prepared for renewal
of hostilities and the forts in the
Canary islands are being rapidly
manned"

Deadly Battle i'm Ohio Penitentiary.

Convicts O'Neil and Atkinson, who
are serving Is years each in the Ohio
state penitentiary at Columbus, for
robbery committed in Cleveland, OBJ
tanned possession of revolver and
proceeded to carry out a bold plan to
escape One held up Guard Lime and
took his revolver and then both opened
fire on Guard Lauterbaugh, who was
shot three times, and almost instantly
killed. The sound of the shooting
brought the other officials of the prison
on the run to investigate. Guard
Gump opened fire on the two prisoners
and regular battle was in progress
until the revolvers of all the partici-
pants were emptied and then the
guards closed on the convicts. Atkin-
son was shot in the body, but is not
thought to be seriously hurt, but
ONeil was so beaten about the head
that his injuries may result fatally.
The other prisoners in the shop where
the shooting occurred, took no part
in the AFFAIR, but they stood ready to
follow if the efforts of the two leaders
proved successful.

The body of man was found in an
old house on the banks of Hamlin lake
near Baldwin The discovery was
madeby IL. V. White, of New York, who
identified the remains as those of his
brother, Il NJ. White, whom he had last
heard from in Baldwin in August,
when he wrote that he was camping
on lake near Baldwin, and that he
had taken out an insurance policy on
his life in favor of his brother. The
case had several suspicious aspects to
the people of Baldwin, and an under
taller thought he recognized the de-
composed remains as those of Alex
Mclean who died at Stearns and was
buried in Baldwin cemetery August %.
An investigation showed that McLean's
body had been removed from the grave
and the authorities at once became
convinced that III. V. White was trying
to perperate an insurance swindle and
placed him under arrest.

Battle In the Ohio Penitentiary.
Reciprocity and Fisheries.

Members of the Anglo American
commission - Canadians and Ameri-
cans-now in session at Washington,
express the hope that the commission
will complete its labors before the
holidays, but they are not yet willing
TO state that treaty will be framed
covering the many subjects of differ
ence between the United States and
Canada. The questions of border inn
migration, mining rights lake fisheries
and the Alaskan-Canadian boundaries
have been found less difficult of solu-
ton than was expected, and a basis OF
agreement on these subjects is in sight
il not actually determined upon. Rec
iprocity and the Atlantic fisheries
continue to be the stubborn questions
before the commission. On reciprocity
the commissioners do not express them
selves in sanguine terms. While the
abrogation of the British preferential
tariff - which gives Great Britain
preference of 25 per cent on all
tariff duties - is considered by
some of the American commissioners
as sine qua non to any reciprocity
agreement, it is said this view has not
been submitted in the form of an ulti-
matum and that the issue on that point
is yet to come. The Canadian govern
ment is favorable to granting enlarged
rights to American fisherman in Cana
dian waters of the north Atlantic, il
in return Canadian fish are admitted
free of duty to American markets.

THE PHILIPPINES A sTIcKLER.
The Peace Negotiations Almost brought
to "a StandstilI.

to "a Standstiil.
Since the American peace commits
sioners announced TO the Spanish COM
missioners that the United States in
tended to take possession of the Phil
ippines the negotiations have not been
progressing very rapidly. At the lat
est meeting the Dons reaflirmed the
position which they have assumed
against the discussion by the commits
sion of SPANS Philippine sovereignty.
They insist that the words "shall de-
termine the control, disposition and
government of the Philippines in the
articles of the peace protocol do not
warrant any reference to SPANS with
drawal from the Philippines, except on
her own terms.
Madrid advices say the Spanish COM
missioners will maintain their present
attitude and will certainly not accept
the conditions of the United States.
Further, if the discussion does not re-
turn to the limits of the protocol, as
viewed by the Spaniards, the Spanish
commissioners have fully decided not
to sign treaty of peace.
Paris dispatches assert that the
Spanish premier desires to protract the
peace negotiations to the utmost, be-
cause he fears that the signing of the
treaty will be the end of his public
career and will possibly cause the fall
or the dynasty. There is heavy disap-
pointment throughout Spain at the
utter failure of the Spanish peace COM
missioners to secure important conces-
sions from the United States.
Washington authorities say that the
American commissioners will name the
exact amount of money which the
United States is willing to pay over to
Spain for the Pacific expenditures
made on account of the Philippines. ~
AS TO the amount which will be offered
to Spain the officials are mute, but it is
believed to lie somewhere between
$50, 900, 900 and $40, 100000. Our com
missioners do not look for an uncondi-
tional rejection of our offer but be-
lieve the Dons will haggle over the
| amount to be paid them

British Must Control the Nile Valley.

Joseph Chamberlain, British secre-
tary of state for colonies, in speech
at Manchester, said it was the hope of
every friend of peace that the French
withdrawal from Fashoda is indicative
of the acceptance of the principle of
British control of the whole valley of
the Nile, regarding which there can
not be any discussion whatever.
He also warned French politicians
that they must abandon their tactics
intended to hamper and embarrass
British policy, where the French have
no interests to protect, notably in
Newfoundland.
Mr.. Chamberlain expressed the sim
cerest friendship for ''our American
lxinsfolk."

Bitter Election Contest in Chippewa.

Chippewa county is greatly exercised
over the recount of the votes cast for
sheriff in the recent election. The
returns showed T. j. Swart, Repub-
lican, elected by 16 votes. Clark A..
Watson, Democrat, demanded re.
count The board of canvassers rejected
the entire vote of four townships, and
about three-fourths of the ballots in an
other, besides a large additional num-
Der in other precincts, where inspec-
tors marked the ballots contrary to
the law. In three townships they
wrote their initials in with lead pencil
instead of ink, and in other cases
placed their initials in the wrong cor
ner. Other irregularities have turned
up and the matter will probably get
into the courts. The canvassers de-
clare Swart elected by small majority.

AguinaIdo May Declare War Against Us

Capt. John Barneson, commander of

among army officers was that when the
peace commission concludes its labors
the U. S. troops will have serious
trouble with the natives. 1t is said
that Aguinaldo has promised his men
that Immediately upon the withdrawal
of the Spaniards he will declare war
against the United States and will kill
off Americans soldiers faster than the
U. S. government can ship them to the
islands. Capt. Barneson states that
