There 10 an old story that any
man can COW a wild animal by
merely gazing into its eyes.
This theory Of the power Of the
human eye Is all well enough SO
long as 1t is not tried on an ami
NAL big and fierce enough to kill
the experimenter. All accounts
agree that, except where they
have been hunted, wild animals
DO not fer man at all.
A British resident in Guiana
once gave o Cornish gold seeker
a lift up river in his steam
launch. AS the launch was small,
the miner slung his hammock on
shore eech night. One morning
he co.ipicined of the noise the
frogs had made.
Some Indians OF the crew
laughed at this and said: ooh,
tiger sleep with old man last
night" What the miner Lad
heard was the purring or snort
ing under his hammock of a
puma, whose tracks and the out.
line of it's sleeping body were yet
visible.
Upon Long Island, except dur
ing the hunting days, the deer en-
ter farmers barnyards freely and
show no fear of man. In the Yel-
lowstone Park, where animals are
protected from hunters, they are
very chunmy. The elk and / lck-
tail come to the keepers houses
to be fed. Even brown bears hang
around and forage among the
scraps thrown out by the hotel
keepers.
Dangerous animals have the
same boldr ess where the gunpow-
der is unknown. When Lerend's
crew were on their first V yoge a
polar bear came among the sleep
ing crew and bit sailors head
off. Whv should he fear the puny
little creatures?
Beyond the Zambesi and Shire
rivers, where the white men and
guns are few, lions and leopards
will do what they will DO almost
nOwhere-kill men when hungry
and when not cOrnered. In Brit
ish In la, where many natives
are killed by wild beasts yearly,
the reason is because the Hindu
religion forbids its believers to
kill any animal.
Where animals are fully ac-
quainted with firearms, neither
lion tiger bear, jaguar or any
other animal will attack man ex-
cept when cornered, it is true;
but animals in wild life have no
such fear of the weak little biped
that can neither run. climb nor
fight as well as they.-New York

COMMITTED SUICIDE
Major Julian Ransom Kills Himself By
Taking Morphine

Macon, Ca, April 12.-Major Julian Ran
som, who for the last twenty years had
lived at his home in Vineville, committed
suicide some time last night. His body
was found this morning in his bedroom.
He had taken morphine. The bottle was on
a small table beside which he was seated
fully dressed and beside 1t was note In
which the suicide stated that he sought
rest and had gone to join his father and
mother, who were the only true friends he
had.
Major Ransom was at one time one of the
most wealthy planters in the state. He
was largely interested in the Eagle and
Phoenix mills, of Columbus, Ga. 1t is said
that he lost some $4,000 by the failure Of
that corporation. Major Ransom was a
Yale graduate and belonged to an exclu
sive type of southern planters and gentle
men. Yesterday he appeared to be in good
spirits and was in the city during the af-
ternoon. Major Ransom was known as a
man of great courage and determination
His duel on the streets of Blakely with a
man named Christian and the subsequent
damage suit were made famous through the
supreme court, and the publication. of his
letter to Christian in the reports.

WHEELER TO Be
MADE BRIGADIER
VIII Resign His Commission Un-
less Given Active Service.
LEE WILL SUCCEED LUDLOW
The Latter's Administration as Gov
ernor of Havana Has Not Been
Success, and He Will Like
ly Be Decapitated

Washington, April 12.-(Special)- )-General
Wheeler was seen tonight about the an
nouncement of his retention in the mill
tary service as a brigader general He
said the bulletin issued by the war depart
ment gave him place which he could re-
tain under the recent act until July 1, 1901.
Asked If he would accept for that length
of time and resign his seat in congress- he
replied that he would not unless he could
see active service and unless assigned to
active service that promised long contin-
uance he would resign his brigadier gen.
eralship next December just before the as
sembling of congress.
Unless there should be some development
whereby he should become a permanency in
the regular army, he would remain in con-
gress.
AS to the disposition of General Lee,
also made brigadier general today, it is
the current opinion that he will be named
soon to be governor of Havana, to sue
ceed General Ludlow, whose service in that
capacity has not been satisfactory. 1t
is known that General Lees fondest ambi-
ton is to be governor of Havana, and it
springs from his experience there as con-
sui general

THE SITUATION ACUTE
Grave Apprehensions Felt by the Off
cials at Washington

Washington, April 12.-The acute situa-
ton in Samoa gave rise to grave appre-
hension among officials during the early
day In Washington. but the conclusion was
reached as the departments closed that the
situation is one that will yield to sensible
and cool treatment if all the parties to the
Berlin treaty are sincere in an effort TO
prevent further trouble.
AS put by q cabinet officer, the killing of
the sailors has not materially changed the
general problem, though 1t has undoubted-
ly added to the difficulty of dealing with the
specific situation. The only official news
received touching the last incident was
contained in Admiral Kautzs cablegram
The secretary said that no additional in
structions were to be sent by him to the
admiral. The secretary of state, however,
has been told that he is at liberty to for
ward any instructions to the admiral that
he may deem necessary, but that If he con-
cludes to do SO he must act Immediately as
the mail steamer leaves the nearest cable
point for Apia tomorrow.
The Philadelphia was short handed for
officers before the loss of Lieutenant Lans-
dale, and Ensign Monaghan promptly sent
orders to Mare Island to dispatch some
officers to recruit the force.
The diplomatic negotiations OF the day
were not directed particularly to the en-
counter, as the ofncial information Is TOO
meagre thus far to warrant positive OH
cial action There were many injuries,
however and the state department and the
British and German embassies exchanged
such advices as they had on the subject.
In the main the diplomatic negotiations
continued to center around the high COM
missioner. On this subject breach is
gradually opening between England and
Germany. because of the refusal of Great
Britain to have the commission leave
San Francisco on the 18th.
The British admiralty has a number of
warships not far from Samoa the Aus
tralian islands, a special design of small
cruiser being used In that locality.
The chief naval station accessible TO
Samoa is on the China coast, where the
Asiatic squadron embraces some OF the
largest ships in the British navy. In,
number armament and tonnage the Brit
ish ships on this station far exceed those
of Germany or any other power.
The chief German naval station near
Samoa Is also on the China coast at Kiao-
Chou, where Admiral Prince Henry Is In
command Admiral Dewey's fleet at Ma
nila is the nearest assemblage of Amer
lean warships In Samoa.
The sail from Manila to Samoa is about
fourteen days.

JOE BAILEY's VIEWS
Compliments Senator Hoar's Open Let
ter to Boston Citizens

Houston, Tex. April 12.-In discussing
Senator Hoar's open letter in answer to
citizens of Boston, Congressman ]. w.
Bailey today said it set forth propositions
on territorial expansion that mad not and
would not be changed, and took occasion
to say:
Ellis position Is strong. The ablest men
IN all parts are opposed to this policy Of
expansion.
"As to the wars of this government and
Spain and the Philippines. it Is not wise
policy to convert war with foreign
power into one against our own people.
The very act that closed the war with
Spain made the Philippines our property
and their inhabitants our people. We have
converted a foreign war into civil war.
Sentiment, l think, has undergone de-
cided change in our favor on this subject,
lot only in Texas but all over the coun-
try"

At this juncture a shell from the British
cruiser Royalist burst on the battlefield,
soaring the rebels, and Hunt succeeded in
escaping to the beach, although severely
stabbed in one foot.
The Graves Reopened
The same night the friendles found the
bodies of all the officers, headless. The
bodies were buried with all honors at
Mulinu on Easter Sunday. Their heads
were subsequently brought in by some
French priests and the graves were re-
opened and the heads buried with the
bodies
The bodies of three rebels were found
near where Lieutenant Lansdale and En-
sign Monaghan of the Philadelphia were
killed
The priests buried 3S rebels and much
blood was seen on the road over which
the Mataafans had been dragging away
their dead and wounded. There were also
pools of blood behind the eocoanut trees,
the bullets from the American and British
rifles going right through thick trees and
killing men hiding behind them. Some of
the rebels fired from the tops of cocoanut
palms.
Rose melting the Rebels
The Samoans say Mataafa on three
occasions had resolved to surrender
but the German consul, Herr Rose, ad-
yised him not to do so, and he now says
he will never give in, but will fight to
the death.
Lieutenant Phillip Lanhorn Lansdalo
was born in the District of Columbia, Feb
ruary Is, 1858. and entered the navol acade-
my June 6, 1873. He graduated in 1878 and
was promoted in 1881. and after duty at the
Washington navy yard, was transferred to
the Philadelphia in June, 1890. He was
made lieutenant, junior grade, in 1893. He
was in charge of the Caravals at the
Worlds fair, in Chicago, and after receiv-
ing his full lieutenancy was a short time
on the battleshfp Massachusetts. In June
1896 he was ordered to the Philadelphia.
Ensign John P, Monohan was appointed
to the naval academy as cadet from the
state of Washington, entering Annapolis
on September Z, 1891. He graduated and
was made an ensign in July, 1897 being as
signed to the Philadelphia, to which vessel
he was attached up to the time OF MS
death.

THE BAD BEEF BOARD.
Number of Important Witnesses Testi-
fed Yesterday.

Washington, April 12.-Generals A. r.
Chafee and A. R. Arnold, DR.. Hudekoper
and Captain Williams, of the commissary
department, were before the beef court of
inquiry today. General Chafee said that
while he considered the refrigerator beef
supplied to the army at Santiago whole
some, the officers and men of his COM
mand refused generally to eat it. He at
tributed this largely to the fact that most
of them were sick.
Dr. Huidekoper said the canned beef was
generally of poor quality. Captain Will
liams told of the condemnation of the beef
on board the transport Panama. General
Arnolds testimony dealt with the beef sup
piled at Jacksonville which was, he said,
generally wholesome.
