Madrid Authorities Provide Money to
Buy on Philippine Insurgents
Who Hold 6,OOO Men.

MADRID, Sept. THE cabinet has au
thorized the foreign minister, Duke Almodo-
var de Rio to negotiate with the Philippine
insurgents to ransom the six thousand Span
ish prisoners now in their hands, and it has
been decided TO transmit money to Manila

Spanish troops which are urgently in need
of funds. The ministers will ask General
Jaudenes, the commander OF the Spanish
troops in the Philippine islands, how TO
transmit the funds.
The government has also cahled to Cap
tain General Macias at San Juan de Porto
Rico, requesting him to furnish fuller de-
tails OF the American regime of Porto
Rico. This step was taken after his first
letter on the subject was received.
WASHINGTON, Sept. G.-Admral Dewey
was recently called upon to investigate re-
ports that the Spanish prisoners taken by
the insurgents were subjected to cruelties.
A cable message was received from the ad-
miral today, saying the story probably or
iginated from the fact that insurgents were
unable 10 meet the wants OF the sick Span
ish prisoners owing to lack Of physicians
and medical supplies. He said he had been
unable to find any proof Of acts of cruelty
on the part of the insurgents.

STRIKES A CONFIDENCE GAME
Visiting EngIishmnn Learns Some-

Culiar Institutions.

CHICAGO, Sept. A C. Ellingsworth, a
retired merchant of Manchester, England
who is making a tour Of the United States,
was robbed of 500 by chance acquaintance
today. The robbery occurred in a down
town hotel, the location OF which Elings-
worth was unable to give the police.
Ellingsworth was on his way to Whining
ton, H., from Toronto, Ont, where he has
been visiting his daughter While on the
train last night onroute to this city the
Englishman met a stranger, who stated he
was q mine promoter The two soon struck
up a friendship, and on arriving here, the
stranger drove Ellingsworth around the city,
finally landing at a hotel where they took
room without registering After entering
the room, the stranger told Ellngsworth he
had deal that had to be closed out before
5 o'clock, and as the banks were not open
he needed so, as he was short of cash. lie
asked the Eng!ishman for the money, giving
a 81 600 bond of the Denver Gold Mining
company as security. Ellingsworth handed
the stranger the key to his valise, which
contained 500 and told him to take the
money out of it. When the stranger left
the room the Englishman laid down on the
bed to rest. After an hour had elapsed and
his friend had not returned, Ellingsworth
became suspicious, and, going to his yalIse,
opened it, to find he had been robbed.

scattered in groups about the auditorium,
where they could best command the en-
frances, and they returned the fire. Those
who participated, intimate that no less than
$50 shots were fired in the opera house
within a few minutes. The smoke was so

OF INTEREST TO THE STUDENTS.
News from the Two Grent Educn-
tionnI Institutes mt Lexington.

, LEXINGTON, VA, March 1T.-(Spe-
cial)-President Wilson, of the university,
in his address to the students Wednes-
day morning. spoke of the Capitalization
Of power in the French republic. He
showed how the Constitution was at the
mercy of the Legislature, and how each
officer, no matter how inferior in rank,
was under the surveillance of his supe-
rior, and at any time was subject to
dismissal. The French Government. al
though I'm name a republic. is widely diff
ferent from that of England or the
United States. In England the Queen
rules, but does not govern; In the United
States the President governs, but does
not reign. while in France the President
neither reigns nor governs. He further
stated that the trial of lola. which has
just terminated, marked a most important
period in the history of the French
people, and that he believed subsequent
history would prove II.
Whether spring has come or not re-
mains yet to be seen. but the wild geese

THE TRUE AMERICAN EAGLE.
A Manassas Man Sends u Fine bird
to Our Navy.

MANASSAS, VA, March 1L-Special)
Eighteen months ago Mr.. Drumond Nicol,
of this place, captured a golden eagle, and
after keeping it a short time he sold it
to Mr.. J. w. Keith. The latter has found
that it is somewhat a tax on his time
to care for it and at the same time to at
tend to his duties to the Southern rail-
way. He wrote to the commander Of the
n~avy-yard at Norfolk, asking him TO re-
fer to some of the captains of the navy
who would be glad to have the bird as a
mascot. The commander turned Mr..
Keith's letter over TO Captain f. a. Cook,
Of the United States steamship Brook
Ign, lying in Hampton Roads. The Cap
tain has asked that the eagle should be
sent to him, and expressed a delight in
being able to get hold of it. Tonight
Mr.. Keith shipped the bird to Newport
News to become a subject of the United
States. This eagle is a splendid specimen
of it's kind. 1t measures 6 feet 1 inches
from tip to tip Of its wings, is about 4
years old, and has been so far tanned so
that it takes hold of its food from ones
hand.
