MAGNIFICENT FIGHTING.
More Praise for Americans-Ca Cannot
Understand Cuban Language.

London, June 2S.-A dispatch to the
Daily News from Port Antonio, ia
maica, says:
The conditions in which the Ameri-
cans entered the battle at SevilIa show
that their fighting was really magnif-
icent. When attacked they were hys-
terical and half out of their minds. All
courage would have been scorched out
of less thoroughbred men. Their tongues
were swelled for thirst and their
threats shrivelled.
HELL" said a survivor, has no ter
rOrs for me now"
The Americans appear to be suspic-
iouS of the insurgents who could be of
immense assistance in buShwhacking.
But how can we be sure,'' says an
American officer, THAT any one of them
is not a Spaniard ready to lead us into
trouble? We can't talk their niger
Castilian' and when they guide US We
have to go it blind. We should trust
them completely or not at ALL

MORE BRITISH SHIPS.
Squadron Now at Manila Re-
garded as insufficient.

London, June 2S.-The Evening News
this afternoon publishes a long dis
patch from Manila. 1t emphasizes the
strong anti-British feeling which has
sprung up at the capital of the Philip
pine islands and refers to the necessity
of sending more British ships there and
to the conviction of the Spaniards that
Germany is going to help them
The Evening News says: There are
two points in our telegram which we
commend to the attention of the gov
eminent: Firstly. the influence which
the presence of the German squadron
is exercising on the situation; secondly,
the obvious danger to the English
should the Spanish soldiers, who are
without food and wages determine to
kick over the traces"

SUSPECTED PARRICIDE
A Prisoner Who is Being Held Here
For Identification.

The Topeka police think they have in
their custody a man who attempted to
Kill his own father, and thinking him
dead, robbed him of 81, 900 and fed.
Noble Abner Kent is wanted in Mac
oupin county, Illinois, for attempted
murder and robbery on March 2S, 1897.
Descriptions were sent out over the
country accompanied by pictures of the
man. Yesterday Sergeant Tim Dono-
van arrested a man who gave his name
as William Shikes. He is held on the
technical charge of Vagrancy, but is in
reality being held until word can be re-
ceived from Illinois officials.
Shikes answers very closely the
description of Kent and scars on his
body correspond with those said to be
on Kent. He is now dressed very
roughly but when he was here several
months ago he was well dressed and
spent money lavishly in Topeka resorts.
There is a reward of $3.50 offered by the
sheriff of Macoupin county, and $3.50
by the Governor of Illinois.
Photographs of Shikes were today
sent to the Illinois officials and an an
swer is expected soon. Sergeant DON
ovan says he is sure that the man now
under arrest is the man Kent who is
wanted for attempted murder.

HARVESTERS BITTER.
Meet Under Water Tank and Agree
to Demand Higher Wages.

Larned Kan, June 2S.-Considerable
excitement was created in this city by
the action of a labor meeting held at a
water tank in the Santa Fe yards. A
serious disagreement as to what wages
shall be paid for labor in the harvest
fields seems to exist between the farmers
and the men who have come here by the
score to secure work As result of futile
efforts on the part of the labOrers to Sc
cure 81 per day. they organized themselves
into labor union and served notice that
they will not work for a cent less than
81 per day. This was freely distributed
about town:
LAS the farmers of Pawnee county have
advertised for harvest hands at big wages
and are now trying to cut wages, it has
been decided that nobody shall work for
less than 81 per day. All parties caught
cutting the price will be run out of town.
Beware. We, the laboring class, mean
what say.
LABORERS' UNION"
Unless an agreement is reached it is
thought the farmers will suffer consider
able loss. The wheat is ripening fast and
harvest will commence in many places
throughout the county to-day. Outside of
a few stormy incidents. in which the
chief weapon was words, there has been
