Te do this, It would be necessary to

of Bowersock's friends talk as II the Law

II this is SO then Colonel Funston could

be in line for governor and later for SEN

The news dispatches from Manila each

hearts of the masses of Kansas, and the
politicians know it. Instead Of attemptins

OF Aguinaldo will degenerate, in perhaps a
month. to a few hundred who may con-
tinue waging guerrilla warfare in the
mountains !
The American troops behaved splendidly.
They advanced steadily against successive
lines of trenches, through woods and jun
giles, and suffering from frightful heat.
In addition, the American volunteers were
handicapped in fighting by the fact that
their Springfield rifles are of shorter range
than the Mauser rifles in the hands Of the
rebels. Under those circumstances the
steady advance of our troops Is a really re-
markable achievement.
But the most noteworthy feature of this
onward sweep of the Americans is the pa
tience and endurance of the private sol
diers. They have never hesitated to plunge
across any kind Of difficulty, against any
number of the enemy. and in the face Of
positions of entirely unknown strength.
This afternoon the victorious American
army is teasting on cocoanuts and bananas
ana enjoying well earned rest while the
hospital train is carrying the wounded back
to Manila.

WASHINGTON, March Sit was stated
at the war department to-day that the
provision of the army law allowing the

strued to mean the officers as well as the
men. and that the volunteer organizations
would be retained just as they. now exist.
General Otis was given large plenary pow

cable to send all sick and wounded home,

John Zander Lost an In.
FAINT Child.

The 5-months-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Zander, Of 1901 West Twenty-ffth
street, was strangled to death in a most
peculiar manner Thursday afternoon. The
baby was left in a crib by its mother while
she was attending to her household duties
in an adjoining room. The child crawled
to one side of the crib and Its head dropped
the side OF the bed striking the baby in
the pit OF the stomach.
The child did not possess sufficient
strength to raise Its head or cry for as
sistance. The blood rushed to its head.
and before the mother of the infant knew
that anything was wrong the child was
dead. A doctor was hurriedly summoned
as soon as the child was found hanging
over the crib. but the baby was beyond
human aid. The case was not reported to
the coroner until yesterday morning. DR..
Langsdale viewed the remains, but did not
hold an inquest.
