NEW PNEUMATIC SWEEPER.
Patrolman A. f. Smith Has become an
inventor.

Patrolman A. F. Smith has spent much Of
his time off duty in perfecting plan for
a pneumatic, gasoline motor street sweeper.
1t is somewhat like the street sweeper now
being used in this city. but Smiths at
torneys have assured him that his plan is
no infringement on any patents. Persons
who have seen Smiths plans say they are
practical The wagon is run by a gasoline
engine which also operates two circular
sweepers running in opposite directions, or
in toward each other. thus catching be-
tween them the dirt from the street and
carrying it up until an air draught catches
1t and takes il into a box at the rear. The
engine is supplied from a tank under the
operators, or brakeman'S seat, at the
front. Seven pints of gasoline will operate
the machine ten hours, Smith claims. He
says the sweeper will work just as we'll
on muddy streets as on dry. A machine is
being made in St. Lotus.

KIDNAPPED HER CHILD.


John O. Duncan, sixty-eight years old.
kidnapped the three-year-old daughter OF
his niece, Mary Cole, last evening from In
front of the home of Mrs. Hensley, 402
West Walnut street, it is claimed. Mrs.
Hensley had the child in her arms and Dun
can walked up and took ii away from her.
she says. She had been ill and was too
weak TO resist. She cried for help, but
Duncan ran away with the little girl in
his arms. Bicycle Patrolmen Holtz and
Bray answered the call for the police. They
learned that Mary Cole had once lived with
her uncle and he wanted her TO return to
his home. She refused and, she believes, he
thought the best way to force her was TO
steal her child. The woman did not know
where Duncan lived; she thought ii was
some place in the country. The police
learned the names Of and addresses of sew
eral of DuncanS sons in the city with the
expectation that Duncan would in time take
the child TO one of them.

Rebels Driven out.
Washington, April 12.-The follow
ing dispatch has been received from
General Otis:
Manila, April .. -Ad djutant- General,
Washingt ton: Lawtons command cap
tured Santa Cruz, the chief city of La
Guna Bay, this morning. Casualties
six wounded. Insurgent troops driven,
leaving sixty-eight dead on the field
and large number wounded. Consider
able number captured, Lawton will
push westward. Otis.
Santa Cruz was the Filipinos' strong
hold in Lake La Guna Bay, and it fell
into the hands of General Lawton ex-
pedition after some sharp, quick firing,
forming one of the most interesting
and important battles of the war.
The plans of the American com
manders worked perfectly, with the
exception that the progress of the ex-
pedition was delayed by the difficult
navigation of the river. About /, 500
picked men, commanded by General
Lawton, on account of the illness Of
General King partly surrounded the
city, while the gunboats La Guna de
Bay, 0esta, and Napidan, under the
command of Captain Grant Of the Utah
battery, shelled the city and outlying
trenches
General Lawton and his staff accom-
| panied the troops, sometimes leading
charges in Indian lighting tactics,
which eventually resulted in the com
plete rout of the rebels with the small
est amount Of damage to the city and
slight loss to the Americans.

JAPAN'S LITTLE GAME
is READY TO PROTECT THE CHI
NESE EMPIRE.
II Partition Comes. the Japanese VIII De-
mand Their Share, But In the Mean
Time They Wish to be Regarded
as Friendlypto China.

Vancouver, b, c., April 7.-oriental
advices brought by the steamer EN-
press of Japan, indicate that Japan has
watched with jealous eye Italy'srecent
attempt to get possession of San Nun.
Marquis Ito has been in direct commu-
nication with LII Yung Chang, and has
advised various reforms. He says the
partition of China will be inevitable
should China persist in her present
course of action.
In view of the San Nun affair, the
Japanese are saying their government
must abandon the hold-aloof policy
hitherto adopted, and demand some
substantial grant of land from China,
probably port in Folien.
Count Okuma, ex-premier, advises the
government to so conduct itself as TO
induce China to rely solely upon the
gallant assistance Of Japan for the
maintenance of independence. The
first measure to be adopted for that
purpose Is to drill several hundred Chi
nese soldiers by Japanese officers; sec
ondly, to encourage the dispatch OF
Chinese students to Japan for study.
If the situation should compel Japan
to take final step, it will be absolutely
necessary for her TO hold Annoy and
the railway between that place and
Hankow.
This phase can only enter into Ja-
pans calculations when the mainten-
sace of China's integrity is entirely
despaired of and there is no hope of
preventing a partition. In the mean
time, Mr.. Yano, the Japanese minis
ter at Pekin has applied to the Chi
nese government for five new settle
ments for Japan's exclusive use, to be
opened at Foo Chow, Annoy, Inkaw
(Newchang), Shanghai and Chungking,
in addition to the Tientsin and Han
kow settlements which have been
ceded already. 1t is stated that the
Chinese government has decided to en-
tertain the demands, with the excep-
tion of Shanghai and Chungking.
