CONCISE AND INTERESTING.

Col. irish Candidate for Senator
SIX Toni, rrlsoners Escape.

Six prisoners escaped from the state
house of correction by bold and
clever plan. They were convalescents
confined in Che hospital, and cut their
way through a partition wall to the
knitting shop, adjoining. Then with
a long ladder from the shop they scaled
the northwest corner OF the outside
wall. A blizzard prevailed and this
aided the convicts in their escape.
The bowling wind deadened what lit
tie noise they made, and the drifting
snow covered their tracks. There is
no trace of the mon. They are as fol-
lows: Frank Edison, sent from Eaton
county, November, 1896, for five years
for robbery; Frank Fisher, Macomb
county, July, 1898, one year, breaking
and entering in Gay time; Lewis Fer
guson, Branch county, December, 1895,
four years, burglary; Wm. Smith. De-
cember, 1897, Calhoun county, three

sevcnth Rer,ment 20 he scattered.

The Seventy u. 5. infantry, heroes
of Eel Caney, now stationed at Fort
Wayne, Detroit, is TO be Scattered.
Only two companies remain at Fort
Wayne. One is ordered to Fort
Thomas, KY; one TO Columbus bar
racks, Ohio; one to Fort Smelling,
Mimi, portion of it being intended
to police Walker Lake, where the
Chippewas made war last fall; one to
Fort Crook, Omaha, and two to Fort
Sheridan, Chicago. 1t is evident from
this arrangement of the Seventh that it
is to do garrison duty for some time to
come and that nearly all other regular
regiments will go abroad while the
Seventh keeps house for them. For
the present, regimental headquarters
will be at Fort Wayne.

Six Miners Dashed to Death.

A terrible accident occurred in K
shaft of the Lake Superior mine at Ish-
peming by which six miners lost their
lives. Nine men of the night shift
started up the shaft from work, but
when Is feet from the surface the car
stopped, and on investigation it was
found that only three injured men
were in the car and that the other six
had been hurled to the bottom of the
shaft to death. 1t is said that one OF
the wheels of the car broke at the fifth
level, but whether the men were
hurled out or jumped is uncertain.
X shaft is vertical shaft 514 feet
deep. The men all dropped from dis
tnnces varying between 500 and 250
feet, and are badly disfgured and torn.

IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Insurgents Capture Iioilo and Rsfuso"to
Give Up TO the Amsricans.


Give Up TO the Americans.
Gen. Rios, the Spanish commander
in the Visayas islands, has telegraphed
TO his government from Iloilo, capital
of the island of Panay, as follows: Am
preparing TO embark on the steamer
Leo XIII. for Zamboanga, Island OF
Mindanao. having formally surren;
dered Iloilo. Have charged German
consul with the protection OF Spanish
interests Though the dispatch is
ambiguous il is assumed that the sur
render of Iloilo was to the Americans,
as troops were recently sent from Ma
Mia for that purpose.
Later reports, however, show that
the American forces had arrived too
late on the scene and that the insur-
gents had added TO the difficulty of the
problems already presented by hosting
their flag over the city, which they
have been besieging for months. Gen.
Otis reports rs follows:
"Sent Col. Potter on fast vessel to
Iloilo to communicate with Spanish
Gen. Rios; latter evacuated before
Potter arrived and insurgents took
possession of city. Potter found
Aguinaldo's flag flying. Spanish forces
have evacuated all stations in southern
islands, except Zamboanga, Mindanao,
by orders, as they say, from Madrid"
The evacuation by the Spaniards of
all the Philippine ports, although
doubtless inspired by desire to secure
their safety by concentration, I'M
doubtedly has done much to compli-
cate the problem already presented the
war department of extending the mill
tarv jurisdiction of the United States
over the islands. IL is presumed that
Gen. Otis will demand the surrender
of Iloilo into his hands, and this de-
mand may at once raise the issue be-
tween the insurgents and our own
government of possession of the islands.
Ma. Zen. Wesley Merritt, who com
manded the Americans at the sur
render of Manila, was very much sur
prised to hear of the surrender OF
Iloilo by Gen. Rios to the insurgents.
Gen. Merritt believes the surrender
may have been an intentional move on
the part of the Spaniards to make it
difficult for the United States TO gain
control of the Philippine islands.
"Gcn. Rios had no right to surrender
to the insurgents, unless, indeed, his
command was on the verge of starva-
ton, or in some equally tight place.
When Manila fell all the islands in the
archipelago went with it,
Admiral Dewey cables that he con-
sidcrs 1t absolutely necessary that a
first-class statesman he sent TO Manila
to investigate thoroughly the situation
there. lie further states that the
United States must accept their re-
sponsibilities in the Philippines, which
have been acquired by conquest. II
we should shirk this duty we would
put ourselves back 200 years in the
worlds history.
The first insurgent government has
resigned over the question of Ameri
can Intervention in the government OF
the Philippine islands. Owners of
property desire American cooperation.
The present temporary cabinet is very
anti-American.

Fathers Testimony Against His Son.

In the examination of JEFF Mason at
Paw Paw on the charge of killing
Stephen Sprague, Mason's father testi-
fed that his son had confessed to him
that he did the deed. Young Mason
pushed Sprague off the railroad bridge
over Derrick creek, expecting the fall
would kill him. 1t did not, and he
then went down into the ravine and
shot his victim twice with n revolver.
Then he rifed the pockets and took the
body some distance from the bridge
and sunk it in the water, where it was
found later by Sprague's friends. The
reason jeff gives for the murder was
that Sprague had got the best of him
in a woman deal

Escnped Convict, Rccnpturcd.

Frank Edison, Lewis Ferguson and
John Hubbard, three of the six con-
victs, scarlet fever patients, who es-
capped by digging through the hospital
wall at Ionia prison, were captured by
local officers. About the same time
Fisher, Miller and Smith were recap
tured near Okemos by farme who,
finding them in his tool house, went
after them with gun. They surren-
dered and the gritty farmer marched
them over to the Mason Jail.
