ment the question of the future of the
islands. This program was announced

our army must be ended as rapidly as
possible. Peace must be, established
by this government and maintained
thereby until congress shall determine
what shall be done with the islands
From what the president said, it isl pro-
posed to bend every resource to the
stamping out of ali opposition to our
authority, to the settlement of the war
and to the establishment and mainte-
nance of peace"

HARLAN Is DEAD.
Passed Peacefully Away at His Home In
Mount Pleasant.

Passed Peacefully Away at His Home In
Mount Pleasant.
Mr.. PLEASANT, Oct. 6.--EX-Senator
Harlan died yesterday morning at half
past nine The end was peaceful. Mr..
Harlan occupied a place in the affections
of Iowans second only to that of the
memories clustering around War Gov
ernor Kirkwood. Iowa proudly claims
him as her own, although he was born
in Illinois and educated in Indiana.
He first saw the light of day in Clark
county, Illinois, in 1920. Four years
later his parents moved to Indiana.
He was graduated from the Asbury
university, Greencastle, Ind, in 1s45,
was married the same year and came
to Iowa, where he has resided ever
since. In his early Iowa days Mr.. Har-
Ian farmed and taught school. Inls47
he was elected state superintendent Of
schools, serving one year. He then
practiced law, after a season of study,
until 1853, when he was elected presi
dent of the Iowa Wesleyan college, oc-
cupying the position two years In
1888 Mr.. harlan was elected United
States senator and he was reelected in
1861. He resigned in 1865 to become
secretary of the interior under Abra-
ham Lincoln. The following year he
was again reelected to the senate, but
in 1872 was defeated by William Is. AL
lison, who has been reelected ever
since. In 1882 Mr.. Harlan was appoint
ed chief justice of the court of commits
sioners of Alabama claims, which posi-
ton he held four years. In 1898 he
was called from retirement to act as
temporary chairman of the republican
state convention. AS such officer he
made speech which had tremendous
effect in checking the threatened bolt
of prohibitionists on account of the
conventions declaration for practical
local option. He was candidate for
the republican nomination for governor
in 1895, but his age was against him.

ELDoRA, Oct S.-John Cairo and Bud
Penny, colored, deliberately murdered
Walter Wayland, a laborer on the new
railroad survey near Estherville, and

animal and killed instantly. No
sooner had he fallen to the ground
than the assassins bounced upon his

fire upon them, which was returned,

He Can Have Any One In Any Part of

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-Thc committee
in charge of the Dewey home fund had
q conference with the admiral touch
ing upon his wishes in the matter. He
said as the fund had come from the
people in small sums, not through
large contributions by a few wealthy
men, he would accept it. 1t was his
desire to get settled at once, which
would preclude building a house for
him. He wished a house modest
enough in cost that enough of the fund
be left to furnish it. The committee
will get options on n number of houses
in the quarter of the city he prefers,
and will submit them for his selection
when he returns from Vermont.

A CANNIBAL STORY.
Native Hawaiian's Horrible Fate on an
Unfriendly Island.

tnIrieHuIy Ashshu
VANCOUVER, Il. c., Oct. S.--A remark
able story of cannibalism was brought
to Sydney, Australia, a few days before
the sailing of the Aorangi to this port
by the French steamer Jeanette. The
victim of the display of savagery was a
native of Hawaii, named Amaru, who
acted as orderly to the immigration de-
partment at Noumea, in the New
Hebrides. About six months ago
Amaru married native woman of
Aoba in the New Hebrides group, and
on passing that island ON the second
voyage of the Jeanette to one of
the outlaying islands, he decided to
visit his wife's tribe. Accordingly the
couple was put off in a small boat and
it was only few weeks ago that the
steamer made a second call and learned
their fate. By mistake they had landed
on an unfriendly shore and were taken
prisoners. The man was tied TO stake
and his torture began. This consisted
first of allowing vicious jungle snakes
from which the poison fangs had been
removed to attack the mans legs.
Then a fire was made at his feet and
his legs were horribly burned, though
the injury was superficial so that the
victim would not die under the treat
ment. Then he was made target for
the speers of the tribesmen who finally
killed him. He was torn TO pieces and
placed over a fire with two sheep. In
fact, according to the story, he was
eaten with the sheep. In the mean
time Amura's wife had been provided
with second husband. The matter
was reported to British man-of-war,
but it is thought no action has been
taken

OPPOSE THE MEDIATION PLAN.
Leading Men Thinks America ShonI,
4 Not Offer Its Services.

Leading Men Thinks America shonId
: Not Offer Its Services.
WASHINGTON, Oct s.--Opinion among
leading men in Washington is decid-
edly against the United States Offering
mediation between Great Britain and
the South African Republic. Even
among those who sympathize with the
Beers out of a natural tendency to side
with the weaker, there is little dispo-
sition to believe that the controversy
is one in which the United States
would be justified in offering media
ton without direct solicitation. OPP
position to mediation is based not only
on the fact that it is contrary to the
policy Of the United States to interfere
IN the controversies that do not affect
America directly, but it is also recog-
nized that Great Britain's claims of
suzerainty over the Transvaal, to some
extent recognized by the Beers them
selves, makes the controversy different
IN the light of international law from
n controversy between two perfectly
independent states. The Transvaai
has no foreign relations, except
through the medium of Great Britain,
and technically any offer from the
United States to mediate might be re-
garded as an Interference with the in
ternal affairs of the British Empire, in
much the same way that an offer from
a European power to mediate between
the United States and Aguinaldo might
be considered an interference with the
internal affairs of the United States.

Dewey With the President.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.--The president
has directed the immediate dispatch to
the Philippines of number of vessels
of the navy, including the cruiser
Brooklyn and the gunboats Marietta
and Machias. This action is the result
of Admiral Dewey interview. in which
he went over the Philippine situation

arc in line with the expressed deter
minatior of the president to furnish
the army and navy every resource for
stamping out the instruction at the
earliest possible time. At Admiral
Dewey's extended interview with the
president, the former went into the
situation at great length, explaining
carefully the existing condition of af-
fairs and his views of the outlook. con-
Guiding with an earnest recommends
ton that the Brooklyn and some other
vessels be sent at once to the Philip
pines. This reinforcement of the pres
ent fleet of the Asiatic squadron he

patch should be directed as early as

LATEST NEWS Is PACIFIC.

Indications That the Eoers viii No,
Invade Natal.
LONDON, Oct. 9.-MoSt important
news comes from the Transvaal, which,
if true, probably indicates that the
South African republic is about to
yield, or in any case that the Beers
have abandoned all idea of invading
Natal. The news is comprised in a
cablegram from Newcastle, Natal,
which says that farmers who arrived
there from the Buffalo river state that
the Beers are returning to their homes,
leaving patrols along the river. The
commanders still remain on the Free
State harbor. The dispatch also says
that the feeling at Newcastle now is
that the Beers do not intend to attack
that place and that the evacuation of
the town was premature. This retire
ment of the Beers is what the British
war authorities have expected, as their
defective commissariat would prevent
them from long remaining massed
along the border.

PRAISE FROM A sPANIARn
He speaks of Dewey and tho Ambition of
Spain.

Spain.
BosToS, Oct. THE Spanish minis
ter, Duke de ARGOS, who just left his
house at Manchester, said with regard
to the reception being given for Adj
miral Dewey: 1T does not surprise
me in the least. Admiral Dewey is
brave and noble man, and for the cx-
traordinary service he rendered his
country no honor that can be shown
him in return is too great. He aroused
the admiration of the whole world by
the gallantry of his conduct, and he
would be n small man indeed who could
not recognize his merit and give ex-
preston to his admiration for Dewey's
valor." The minister was emphatic in
the expression of opinion that the very
best feeling existed between the United
States and Spain. "There is. absolute
ly no difference between the countries
on any point" he said. Certainly"
he continued, "it is the hope of all true
Spaniards that this condition should
exist, and as for myself, as the official
representative of the queen regent, 1t
is the ambition of my life to bring
the very utmost Of good feeling and
good will"

SAYS AGUINALDO Is SCARED.
Admiral Dewey Believes the IHsursent
Army Is DisintsYrating.

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-Admiral Dewey
believes the report brought to Manila
by Dominican friar that Aguinaldo
had issued orders TO Filipino soldiers
in the northern provinces TO return to
their towns and resume farming. The
admiral is of the opinion that such n
move on the part of Aguinaldo indi-
Gates that the insurgent commander is
weakening, as result of the forlnid
able preparations being made by this
government to suppress the insurrec-
ton during the coming dry season.
The returning of the soldiers to their
homes is, the admiral believes, the be-
ginning of the disintergration of the
insurgent army, and he urges that the
re-enforcements for both army and
navy be sent as expeditiously as pos
sible to Manila in order to dcmoralizc
the rebels before the dry season be-
gins.

A BURGLARY AT ALTOONA.

Several Hundred Dollars.


Several Hundred Dollars.
ALTOONA, Oct. ALTOONA was the
scene of another burglary which was
the worst in the history of the town.
Professional burglars pried the front
door Of Shaffer's drug store open and
burglarized his safe. The outer door
was opened by punching the lock off
and jolting the bolts back with a sledge.
The inner door was blown off and the
safe completely wrecked by trcmen-
dous explosion which shattered the
glass in the entire front of the build
ing. The safe contained something
like $500 worth of jewelry and about
$3.50 in money and checks. ldr. Shat
fer says that of this amount nearly 5000
was cash. The notes and checks may
be saved, but the cash and jewelry is
gone. The safe and contents was in
sured, but the other damage is a COM
plete loss, the glass front alone being
worth $50. The entire damage is esti-
mated by Mr.. Shaffer ut about ST 900,
with insurance amounting to 300.
