IDAHO ASSESSMENTS RAISED
IMPORTANT ACTION TAKEN BY
COUNTY ASSESSORS.
Will Add Many Millions to Taxable
Property-Livestock Valuations
Increased-One Assessor Bolted.
[snecial to The Herald.o

Boise, Ida, March 2S.-The convention
of the assessors of the state adjourned
today sine die, after an important ses-
sion. Action was taken which, it is be-
lieved. will result in increasing the valu-
ations of the state by s30,000,00O to $780,
100000. While the law prohibits the fixing
of valuations for the purpose of taxation
pursuant to any agreement, all the as
SCISSORS but one declared themselves duty
bound to assess in accordance with the
understanding reached by the meeting.
The exception was Assessor Howell of
Bear Lake county, who gave the conYen-
ton TO understand that he would ignore
It's action. However, the law provides for
criminal prosecution of assessors who un-
dervaIue any class of property assessed,
ana the comparison of valuations in his
county with those of the other counties
will likely get him into trouble unless he
falls into line. The increased assessed
valuation will not mean absolutely an in
creased taxation, for the levy Will be re-
duced in a measure III proportion as the
assessment is raised; The assessors
agreed upon the following rates:
For range or stock sheep, including
yearlings, 50 a head. Last years rate was
81. IS a head.
For range cattle, including yeariings,
unless the yearlings comprise the entire
band or predominate, S22 a. head. Last
year it was $l3.
Range horses, SIS a head Last year it
was 81 30 head.
Other classes of stock, thoroughbreds.
ETC., will be assessed at proportional
rates. 1t was agreed that merchandise
should be assessed on the basis of the
last inventory, with 10 per cent deducted.
The assessment of real estate was left
to the Judgment of the Individual asses
sors. owing to the disparity of values in
the various counties. 1t was agreed to
Ital stock of corporations, etc. Book ac-
counts will also be assessed.

POSITION OF THE FORCES.
Insurgent Capital Will Be Attacked
Within a Few Hours.

Washington, March 2S.-There was a
lull today in the reports from the scene
of action north of Manila, which for a
time was rather mystifying to the war
department authorities. Only one dis
patch was received from General Otis
. during the day dealing with the situa-
ton at the front, and this related to
yesterday afternoon. 1t was not until
the Associated Press dispatch came,
late in the day, telling that the Ameri-
can forces We're resting beyond Mari
lao, that General OTIS silence on to-
days movements was explained. After
| the drduouS work of a three days
fight, under a fierce tropical sun.
through rice swamps and jungles, it
was expected by the authorities here
that Macarthur would conserve the
energies of his men by a halt long
enough to rest and take supplies be-
fore the finad blow against Malolos,
the 1nsurgent capital. The supply
trains are we'll up with the troops, ac-
cording to Otis report today, so that
the rest permits full supplies of ammu-
milton and food to he distributed The
American advance line is now beyond
Marilao, and almost up to the large
town of Bulacan. The exact distance
to Malolos is uncertain, owing to the
lack of information as to Just where
they are resting, but at most the dis
tance cannot be more than ten or
twelve miles ON direct line along the
railway.
At the rate of progress made in the
last two days. the next twenty-four
hours should bring the American force
well up to the insurgent capital, if, in
deed, the assault is not begun by that
time. The officials are disposed to al
low more time. however, considering
the natural obstacles of unfordable
rivers and burned bridges, together
with the successive lines of rebel in
trenchments. And, moreover, as at
Santiago, it is not doubted that the
intrenchments will become more for
midable as the city itself is ap-
preached.
Leading war department officials re-
ferred today to the desperation with
which the insurgents We're fighting. 1t
was taken as an indication that they
had staked everything on the outcome
of this fight, and, losing it, they would
submit rather than prolong a hopeless
struggle. In this view the fierceness
of the rebel fighting was taken as an
evidence that "once whipped, they will

KING C[NSURES BRYAN
Democratic ] eader Turned Down
BY Utah's Ex-Congressman.
DEFENDS PERRY BELMONT
NO OCCASION FOR DEMOCRATIC
FAMILY ROW.
Any Old Kind of Democrat Can
Celebrate Jefferson's Birthday
With Propriety and Bryan Could
Attend the Croker Blow-out-For
the Chicago Platform.
Especial to The Herald.)

Washington, March 28.-Ex-Congress-
man King has postponed his departure
for Utah until tomorrow. The Evening
Star says that Judge King deprecates
the fight between Democratic factors
which has manifested itself in the
Bryan-Belmont correspondence con-
cerning the Jefferson banquet. The
Star adds:
Utah being one of the states where
everything is supposed to be for silver,
and King being a recognized free silver,
Chicago platform Democrat, it is some
what significant that he assumed an
attitude toward this matter exactly
contrary to that occupied by w. j.
Bryan. He said today that he believed
that any man claiming to be a Demo-
crat could, with propriety, attend a
Jefferson banquet, and that he thought
it was unnecessary for the Democrats
to get into a family row over such a
matter. He said that, in his opinion, Mr.
Belmont had a right to get up a JEFF
ferSon banquet, or participate in one,
and to invite such gentlemen as he de-
sired, and that he could see no inpro-
prety in Mr.. Bryan accepting an in
vitation and being present at a Jeffer-
sun Dd1lquet With NIL belllloliI anu MI :
Croker, and any other gentlemen
claiming to be Democrats.
AS far as he was concerned, he said
if he were invited to Lincoln banquet
he would be glad to attend and do honor
to that distinguished statesman. He
aaid that he thought the Democrats
could get together, and did not think
anything ought to be done to prevent
the establishment of harmony; though
of course, he would insist in adhering
to the Chicago platform.

Stout. Stout did tell the directors
and others just as he said he would,
and Jones of course was very angry
about it.
The prosecution would further show
that Jones after this had been seen lay

hood of Stoutt's house and elsewhere,
and for months it was seldom that
Stout would go home alone. A few
minutes before the shooting Joe Stout,
son of the banker, saw a man whom
he recognized to be Jones, standing at
the corner of the Stout residence, and
peering into the west window of the
dining room. The man disappeared

Denver, Colo, March 2S.-Secretary
Whitehead of the Colorado Humane So
ciety has received a. letter from a per-
sonal friend in the First Colorado, dat
ed the Goth of February. Secretary
Whitehead does not feel at liberty to
disclose the name of the writer, but
says that he is a Denver boy, and of a
prominent family. The soldier makes
some rather startling statements about
the natives in the inSurgent army, and
their treatment of the Americans cap

to be veracious.
This is war with savages, pure

are anything but human. They cruelty

The last statement was probably not
meant as literal, for the writer pro-
ceeds with an example:
''Dr. Young, a surgeon of the Utah
battery, was captured d few days ago,
about a mile from the outposts. He
was carried some distance back into the
interior. The insurgents stripped the
poor man naked, backed him up.against
a stone wall, and deliberately bdtchered
him. When his body was found by the
troops it was discovered that besides

other places.
''I am sorry to say that few Of our
soldiers have deserted. One whose dead
body was found in the midst of a pile
of slain insurgents near blockhCGse No.
was identified as Corporal Hays of
the Calffornians, who had been miss
ing for several weeks. He was killed
by the South Dakota boys IN their brave
charge.
Another American was captured
alive by the Americans and was placed
before a file Of soldiers, who fired a
volley. killing him after the fashion
with which deserters were treated in the
revolutionary and civil wars. This fell

battery. and when he was captured by
his own former comrades he tried to
shake hands with them. No one would

tract was in course of preparation, and
had understood from him that the beef
was to be kept in refrigerators seventy
two hours after arrival and tWenty-four
hours after its removal from them.
The witness said there had been con-
siderable discussion in the office Of the
comnissary general on the feasibility
of shipping beef on the hoof, but it had
been decided not to try the experiment.
