esting and the End Is
Afar on.
LINCOLN, NEB., Jan. 13.-Interest in
the Nebraska senatorial canvass has
reached its height. Both houses of the
legislature adjourned at noon to-day, but
it is notable that few members left the
city. preferring to remain and watch the
struggle. which will grow in excitement
from now until Tuesday noon, when the
first ballot is to be taken. With Repub-
lican majority of 13 on joint ballot, the
contest centers wholly within that party.
A strictly reliable estimate Of the strength
of the nine Republican candidates is i'm
possible inaSmuch as there is nearly a
score of members who refuse to give their
preferences.
1t is generally conceded. however, that
Judge NJ. l.. Hayward, of Nebraska City,
will lead on the first ballot. with anywhere
from twenty to twenty-seven votes, that D.
T. Thompson. of Lincoln, will follow, with
probably fifteen, the remaining aspirants
having all the way from ten TO a single
vote. There will be no attempt to hold a
Republican caucus until after the first bal
lot and perhaps not for a week following

MURDEROUs BANDITS.
They Will Be Hanged or Shot as Ex-
amples to Others.

Manila, Dec. 12, 7:50 D. m.-Colonel
Smith, with detachment of the 18th
infantry, surrounded and captured in a
village near Malasqui, a party of guer-
rillas who had made their headquarters
there. The party included the band
which assassinated seven officials at
Malasqui for friendliness to the Ameri-
cans.
All are insurgents who became band
its when the disintegration of the Fill
pino army began. They kept the coun-
try around Malasqui in state of ter
ror for several weeks and committed
25 murders in less than that number of
days. When they We're caught they
were promptly sent to General Mac
Arthur's headquarters at Bayambang
by train.
1t is expected they will be speedily
tried and either shot or hanged as an
example if convicted The whole coun-
try north~of San Fernando and between
San Fernando and Manila, except with

many of whom are making their way
south to join the insurgent force in
Cayite province.
These people. for the most part, sue
ceeded in lodging General Grant, Colo
mel Bell and Colonel Hoods troops, who
are securing the country for them.
They devote their energies to ambush
ing commissary wagons and picking up
soldiers who leave their commands.
Every day some wagon train is fired
upon or some soldier disappears.
General Wheeler's secretary, Mr.. Gar
rett, was disarmed and slashed by
boloman almost within sight of head
h
nearly into the headquarters building.
The policy of the ruffians is to make the
country uninhabitable for Americans
and to frighten natives into refraining
from giving assistance to the Ameri-
cans, as we'll to compel the inhabitants
to support the insurrection.
The brother of the president of linus
went outside the town the other day
to harvest some rice. He was captured
by his compatriots, accused of being a
spy and executed. Only small pro-
portion of the insurgent arms have been
surrendered and the problem of sup
pressing this guerrilla warfare is any
thing but easy of solution. Some of the
American officers think it worse than
fighting Indians, owing to the difficult
ties OF the country and the trouble in
locating the enemy, who resort, when
hard pressed, to the amigo dodge and
hide their guns. Some of the Ameri-
cans favor the issuance Of a proclama-
ton declaring all natives found with
arms to be bandits, punishable as crimi-
nails, instead of being treated as pris-
oners of war.
Information has been received at
Headquarters that 500 Spanish prisoners
have been shipped from Vigan to Ma
nila and that 1900 others have been as
sembled in Vigan, including General
Pena. Probably these are Spaniards
released by General Youngs troops in
the Benguel district. where they were
concentrated by the insurgents.

What the State Has Done to Prove the
Murder

What the State Has Done to Prove the
Murder.
Portland, Ore, Dec. 1.-THE prosecu
of Frank e. Mcdaniel. who is charged
with the murder of Miss Claire Fitch.
The prosecution endeavored to prove
by three witnesses that on the night of
the murder Mcdaniel did not reach his
home at the Morse residence on the
corner of East Oak and East Twelfth
strets until after IL o'clock midnight,
while at his preliminary examination
Mcdaniel swore that he was at home
by II p. M. Frank Kerslake was placed
on the stand and stated positively that
he saw an unknown man enter the yard
of the Morse home as late as 1916 a. m.
on the night of the murder. The wit
ness did not recognize Mcdaniel. but
the fact that he lived there and was
said by Mr.. Morse to have been the last
person to come home that night, he
thought was significant.
Fl. H. Newhall and J. w. Thompson
testified that they had left Kerslake
two blocks from his home at about
1915 a. m. Several witnesses We're on
the stand for the defense this after
noon, but their evidence was princi
pally as to the time of the Identified
tion of the body of the murdered girl
at the morgue. The court refused to
admit in evidence a note which was
enclosed in a bottle purporting to have
been written by the assassin of Claire
Fitch and exculpating Mcdaniel.

Revenue Frauds. .
Special Dispatch to the Standard
Helena, Dec. 12--Collector Webster
has received from Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue Wilson rule relative
to the cancellation of revenue stamps
of the value of 10 cents or more, which
will go into effect Dec. Is. This will
require that the stamp shall be cut
three times as we'll as bear the initial
or name of the user. This is done to
prevent a repetition of the recent
frauds to which the government has
been subjected.
The ruling follows: "In all cases
where a documentary stamp of the
denomination of 10 cents or any larger
denomination shall be used for denot-
ing any tax imposed by the act of June
13, 1898. the person using or aftixing
the same shall, in addition to writing
or stamping thereon, with ink. the in
itials of his name and the date when
affixed, mutilate said stamp by cutting
three parallel incisions lengthwise
through the stamp. beginning not more
than one-fourth of an inch from one
end thereof and extending to within
one-fourth of an inch of the other end
Where such stamp is Cancelled by cut
ting or perforating in any manner au-
thorized by existing regulations as
aforesaid. the mutilation herein pro-
vided will not be required"
