IS GARDNER DEAD OR ALIVE
He LEFT FOR THE MOUNTAINS
WHILE INSANE.

Murdered By Half-witted Com

Especial to The Herald.)

Fillmore March 29.-The following is
taken from private letter which has
just reached Kanosh from parties in
Snake valley: lone morning last week
at O'Clock Alma j. w. Gardner of
Kanosh, employed as a sheepherder
by Mr. Gregory, went insane, took his
gun and started for the mountains,
stating that a mob was coming from
Snake valley to kill him Nothing fur
Their has been heard of him, and it is
feared he has persisted, as it is stormy
in the mountains.
Gardner has been heard of since the
letter quoted was received, and it was
stated that he was near Osceola with
his herd, and his companion was James
Egan, a half-witted person who, it is
said, shot a former partner in the same
business several years ago. It is there
fore thought by some that Gardner
made for the camp and fe4l a victim to
foul play.
Parties from Kanosh. Immediately
upon receiving this word, took Gard
ner's trail, but nothing has been heard
from them. and as there is no telegraph
line in that part of the country their
return will have to be awaited for full
particulars.
Gardner has always been a good citi-
zen and much respected by the people
of Kanosh, and his poor mother and
sister are almost wild with grief under
the uncertainty and dreadful suspense,

COMMENT AT LONDON.
German Authorities Held Responsible
For the Trouble.

London, March 90.-The morning pa
pers comment on the serious news
from Samoa, the presumption being
that the cruiser Tauranga was stopped
at the Fiji islands by the admiral be-
cause required for service at Samoa.
The Standard says: THE rebellious
chiefs must be coerced and published,
and something more than a nominal
penalty will be required for the blood
Of British and American sailors. The
German authorities at Apia have in
CURED a heavy responsibility. We can
not believe that Berlin will uphold their
action, as it is not worth Germany
while to quarrel with England and
America over Samoa
The Daily Chronicle says: There is
only one alternative. Germany must
remove her consul (Herr Rose) or so
out OF the protectOrate.'
The Morning Post, commenting upon
the mystery surrounding the affair
and the "impossLiiity Of reconciling
the events in Samoa with diplomatic
assurances lately given by Berlin and
Washington, says: Admiral hautz
and his coadjutors We're not competent
10 dismiss the provisional government.
The single bright spot in this dark
business is that the Americans and
British fought splendidly together"
The Daily Mail says: 1t is a con-
ISOLATION to think that. as in Crete. the
spilling of British and American blood
viii bring a solution of the crisis. All
three powers should recall their con-
suls, and as the friendship of Germany
is the pivot of our foreign policy, her
wishes should be respected in the final
settlement"

cratic state central committee met here

and Representative William F. King
and James B. Clark for voting for j.
Edward Addicks for United States SEN

are no longer worthy to be considered
members of the Democratic party or of
the respect of their fellow citizens. The
resolutions further state that it is the
general opinion that Farlow, King and
Clark were corruptly Influenced to vote
for j. Edward Addicks and that the
support CT the organization, individu-

AMNESTY AND SELF RULE.
What Americans Will Offer to the
Filipinos.

New York, March pa dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says: AS
soon as General Otis achieves a decisive
victory over Aguinaldo, the Philippine
commission will issue a proclamation
promising amnesty to all natives who
lay down their arms and self-rule to
those who recognize the sovereignty of
the United States.
This is the programme which the
state department understands has
been adopted by the commission. AS
General Otis and Admiral Dewey are
members of the commission, it is pre-
sumed here that they are responsible
for the delay in issuing the proclama-
ton, believing it's effect will be greater
if published after the insurgents have
been subdued.
So long as Aguinaldo maintains his
army organization it will be difficult to
reach the natives and convince them,
but with Aguinaldo a prisoner or a
fugitive and the army disbanded, it is
thought that the proclamation will re-
ceive attention from the natives and
cause them to take advantage of it's
provisions. The proclamation will be
similar to those previously issued. by
General Otis, except that it will con-
tain a general amnesty declaration and
will reassert the friendly intentions of
the government

liams, United States. consul at Manila,
has written to his brother. l.. L. Williams
of this city, concerning statements made
by Agoncillo to the effect that Consuls
Williams and Wildnlan had promised
Aguinaldo and his friends that the United
States would grant absolute independence
to the Philippines as soon as the islands
were taken from Spain. Consul Williams
denies this explicitly. He writes:
Il never saw AgoncillO nor made such
a promise to any Filipino On the con-
trary, when Aguinaldo's leaders applied
: to me at Hongkong to be allowed to re-
turn with me TO Manila, one of the pro-
visions of the conditions under which I
agreed to give them such aid as l was
able to give. was that they were to be
subject at all times to the naval and mil
itary authority of the United States. This
was agreed to before l allowed them to
accompany me, April 81 1898, to Mrs bay,
where the fleet awaited my coming Ad-
miral Dewey knows all about the condi-
tions which l imposed and complimented
me on my foresight and thoughtfulness ="
This agrees with reports sent by Consul
Williams to the state department from
time to time and made public through the
press dispatches from Washington.
