CAPT. ROCKEFELLER MISSING.
Washington, May 1.-The War De-
partment has received no advices from
General Otis since Saturday concerning
the conditions in the PHILIPPINES. In the
two dispatches received to-day no men
ton is made of the negotiations with
the insurgents, nor of any fighting.
General Otis reports that Captain
Rockefeller. of the Ninth infantry, has
been missing since the 2Sth of April.
Captain Rockefeller was making some in
vestigations about Caloocan and has not
been seen since the date given. Some of
his personal papers have been found
about two miles from Caloocan. 1t is
feared that he has been captured by
some of the insurgent bands.
Captain Charles NJ. Rockefeller entered
the army as a private in the Seventh
New York in 1861. He served through
the Civil War, reaching the rank of
First Lieutenant of volunteers. He be-
came a second lieutenant in the Ninth
infantry, in 1867, and has been with
that regiment ever since. He has always
been known as a good soldier and was
a graduate of infantry and cavalry
schools. He was well up in the list of
captains and would have received a
majors commission in short time.

A Remonstrance Protesting Against the
Extension Of the Priest River For
est Reserve Containing
81 Names.
THE PEOPLE ION 1d" THE FAKE.
The Bluff OF the Federal Office Holders
Called and Their Fake Methods Elk
posed by "Reminiscences to the
Secretary of the Interior.

The assertions OF Superintendent
Glendenning that he could put all OF
Kootenai county In the Priest River
Forest Reserve IL he desired, for he
had the administration behind him,
has reused the citizens Of our county
to action. While II is the general
opinion that the officials at Washing
ton are not cognizant Of the proposed
extension; that it is local affair,
yet the citizens of our county do not
propose to be taken unawares, as they
were in 1897 when vast portion Of
our most valuable land was wrongful
ly tied up in reserve without pro-
test from our representatives In con-
gress, and without giving the citizens
of the county an opportunity to pro-
test.
Last week Auditor Callahan sent
circumstances To representative citl
zens in every town in the county, re-
questing them to procure signatures.
The remonstrance is addressed to
Hon. Binger Hermann, commissioners
Of the general land Office, Washing
ton, D. c., and recites many good
and sufficient reasons why the reserve
should not be extended. X. Wanna
maker, ore of the leading business
men of Hope, is the first to return the
remonstrance. 1t was received by Mr.
