BRINGS THEM TO TIME.
President Mckinley Puts Down His
Foot on Philippine Situation.

Washington. D. c., May 27.-"When
you desire to re-enter the American mill
tary lines, come prepared for an uncon-
ditional surrender; otherwise you will not
be admitted
1t was said at the war department
that this in substance is the parting mes
sage Aguinaldo's peace ENJOYS, so called,
received when they left the American
peace commissioners to return to Aguin-
aldos headquarters. Our commissioners,
if they have not already, will receive
instructions to adhere to this decision
The foolhardiness of further negotia-
tons with irresponsible leaders of defiant
ministration officials. The insurgents
must be whipped into submission. The
President is now Of this opinion.
He regrets that he is unable to share
in the optimistic opinions of Mr. Schur-
man, chairman of the commission, that
the so-called ENJOYS will speedily come
back to accept in full our own terms.
MIR. Schurman expressed similar views
Immediately after the first correspond
ence, more than three weeks ago, and
thereby caused the President to fall into
the mistake of anticipating peace at once.
The fact that the authorities have
again taken up the question of sending
additional troops to the Philippines is Il
pretty good indication that they consider
the recent peace negotiations a failure.
The Twenty-fourth infantry, colored, has
been slated for service in the Philip
pines, in addition to those previously de-
cided upon. Other regiments are also be-
ing talked of.

CAUSED BY RAIN.
Landslide in Minnesota Results in
Wreck on Milwaukee Road
Nebraska Storm.

st. Paul, Mimi, May pa Wabasha,
Mimi, special to the Dispatch says: A
severe wind and rain storm passed over
this place early today. The heavy rain
caused a landslide near Kings Cooley, OBJ
structing the track. The Milwaukee pas
senger train due here at 5:33 a. m. ran
into the landslide and the engine, tender
and baggage car were thrown from the
track. John Anderson, the night man
here at the coal shed, was badly injured
and it is thought he cannot live. The en-
gineer received some bruises but is not
dangerously hurt. The wreck caused a
blockade and some of the trains went
over the Burlington from Trevino.
Omaha. Neb, May 27.-The worst
storm which has visited Nebraska in
years passed through the section north
Of Minden last evening just before dark.
Buildings were wrecked and considerable
stock killed in strip several miles long
and 200 yards wide, but fortunately no
lives were lost. The progress of the
storm was so slow that people had time
to take to cellars and some farmers saved
themselves by lying down in the burrows
of plowed ground. Not a building in the
path of the storm escaped damage.

MADDENED BY SIGHT OF BLOOD
Peculiar Effect an Accident Had on
Joseph GrinneI1.

Chicago. H., May 26.-The sight of
blood affected Joseph Grinnell in
strange way Yesterday. He was stand
ing at the corner Of Wells and Kinzie
streets when he saw Dennis Dorney fall
from his wagon and receive serious in
juries from which he bled freely Grin
nell, who keeps q restaurant at 81 Wells
street, watched the occurrence and then
be called to Charles Miller. an express
man, who was standing across the street
Miller obeyed the summons. when. with
out any apparent proyocation, Grinnell
drew pocketknife and cut Ailler's
throat from ear to ear.
Miller was taken to the Passavant hos
pital, where he is in critical condition.
Grinnell was locked up at the Chica go
avenue station. He could give no excuse
for his act. except that he had a desire
to take human blood. He was somewhat
under the influence of liquor at the time.
Dorney, the delivery wagon driver, is
26 years old and lives at % Vine street.
He is employed by the w. NJ. Hoyt com
pany. Miller, whose throat was cut, is
35 years old and has an express wagon
stand at the North Western depot. II
bystanders had not interfered he doubt
less would have been killed by Grinnell,

BRAVERY OF UTAH MEN.
Report of Maj. Richard ". Young
Regarding Their Work.

Washington, D. c., May 27.-Next in
the series Of reports of the operations
near Manila, which the war department
is making public in connection with Maj
Gen. Macarthur. is that of Maj. Rich
ard W. Young Of the famous Utah Light
artillery.
In his report, which tells the story of
the operations from February 4 to Feb
ruary 10, Maj. Young, after describing
the advance on Caloocan, says: L am
satisfied that nc troops during this ad-
vance have performed more dangerous
service than the detachments under
Lieut. Seaman in their perilous progress
up the Caloocan road too much there
fore, in my judgment, cannot be said in
praise of their intrepidity and efficiency. .
Maj. Young also mentions the good
work of two guns Of the Sixth artillery
under Lieut. A. S. Fleming, who was
assigned to his division in this section.
! He says: During the advance on Ca
loocan this platoon did very accurate and
! effective work under a heavy small arm
| fire from the enemy"
| He also speaks of Grants and Critch-
| lows guns, which took part in the move
ment as follows: Extremely accurate
| work was done; one Of the best shots OF
| the campaign was at party throwing
/ up earthworks at the cemetery gate, the
| left side of the gate being destroyed at
| an estimated range of 26OO yards by the
first shell. Shrapnel fire proved to be eff
fective at range of 200 yards in driving
party which advance fearlessly from
! the right to take a hanking party under
command of Maj. Bell, United States
| Volunteer Engineers.
| A compliment is also paid to Wedge
woods battery, the men of which dragged
! their guns on the night of February 4
! for three miles without assistance and
driving the enemy back in great numbers,
! and paved the way for the infantry adj
/ vance These guns were served under Il
heavy cross fire. the canoneers having
! little or no protection. Webb's two guns
are described as silencing the enemy S
fire in almost every instance over an area
of nearly $50 degrees.
The two Nordenfeldts, under Lieut..
| Gibbs, are said to have been handled
with skill and efficiency. In one case
the guns were brought down at double
time on 5OO-yards slope in the face of
a heavy fire. This was in open view of
the enemy under close range, and was
! one of the boldest and most commendable
acts of the campaign, says Maj. Young.

NEED LARGER ARMY.
Our Troops Can Fight, but Cannot
Garrison the Territory
COnOuerad

Manila, May 26.-7:4O p. m.--The
events Of the past week have emphasized
the need Of a much larger army here.
without which, according to the best au-
thorities in Manila, it would be attempt
ing the impossible to expect to establish
American supremacy ia the Philippine
islands. The lnadequacy Of the Ameri-
can force is said to be responsible for the
large total loss in the number of small
encounters without material results as
q compensation. Most of the fighting
cans had swept, but had been compelled
TO abandon because they could not spare
the troops to hold it.
The forces commanded by Gems Mac
Arthur and Lawton held two important
lines of communication and commerce
the railroad to San Fernando and the
Rio Grande river But much of the
country they have swept, including scores
OF the smaller towns and some larger
ones, have been left uncovered, simply
for want of men to held them, and the
insurgents have returned and are occupy
ing the towns the Americans abandoned
and are camping in the jungles and
woods outside Of others, on the watch for
a chance to harass the garrisons and
attack scouting parties or detached COM
panles with greater forces. This is the
kind of warfare they prefer to regular
battles.
1t appears that the Filipinos who at
tackled the Third regiment between San
Miguel and Balinag were part of Pho del
Pillars army. They came from the south
across the mountains, presumably to
meet wagon train which Gen. Lawton
expected along the road They also
planned to capture several large detach-
ments and were placed in ambush at diff
ferent points. They fired from the
jungle, at a distance of 200 yards. and
gave the Americans one Of the hardest
nights experienced in the campaign The
Fflipnos lost more heavily than the
Americans in all the recent encounters.
The insurgent generals take the loss of
arms more to heart than they do the loss
of men.
Foreigners who have arrived here from
the insurgents country, under the recent
order of expulsion, say the cemeteries
in all the towns are filed with fresh
graves. y majority of the Filip:nos
wounded die. because the insurgcnt hoSp-
tails are inadequate. medicines are scarce.
and they have few surgeons. except Span
ish captives who have been impressed
n scouting party Of American troops
encountered a body Of insurgents at San
tn Rita, and being reinforced by Brig
Gen. Funston with the South Dakota
regiment. a warm fight ensued with the
loss of one lieutenant and five wounded,
while ten of the insurgents were killed
ard several captured.

Beauty as Well as Utility Considered
in Their DESIGNS

in Their Designs.
When the Romans invaded Britain and
settled IN many quarters they used small
clay lamps, some opening, like a shell;
others covered, with only q small hole
left to allow of the lamp being filed
with oil. Open clay cups with two hol-
lows were also common, one hollow be-
ing provided for the wick, the capillary
attraction drawing the oil from the other
Many beautiful bronze lamps are dis
covered in these ancient Russian camps,
illustrating by these simple domestic ar
t1cles the perfection to which art had
been carried when nothing was consid-
cred too ordinary to be beautiful. DR..
Hull Burton, referring to the beauty Of
design and manufacture, says:
They afford traces of decoration suffi
Gent to show an elevation which the pot
terry of the present day is only now reach
ing, and that rather by slavish imitation
than by original development" The
same historian also records that "a good
many terra Gotta candelabra or lamps
have been found of that peculiar form
which has in a manner become simplici-
ty, and hence has ever since it existed in
its purity been contorted into ornamen
tai service"
The origin of the cruisie has been
found among Roman antiquities, and,
strange to relate, this simple lamp ap-
pears to have been adopted wherever the
Roman settled with his conquering le-
gions-France, Italy and northern Afri-
reproducing them with little variation
from the Roman original-Good Words.

The trouble was precipitated by the
Poles calling the Italians ''scabs.' After
order had been restored 400 Poles
marched from the docks, declining to
work with the nonunion Italians. The
latter were discharged and the Poles re-
turned to work. Contractor Corners said
later that he would discharge every non
