Held Captive BY Robbers.

Wichita, Kan, July 26.-Harry
Stokes, negro, apparently about
20 years old, who was arrested
here yesterday for disturbing the
peace, claimed to an officer tonight
to have been held in captivity by
the Dalton gang for four years.
He says he held the gangs horses
near the old Coffeyville creamery
when they robbed the bank there
some years ago. He says he car
ried provisions to the other mem
bers of the gang in a cave near
where kingfsher is now, after
Bill Dalton was shot. He has O
big scar on the calf of his leg,
where he says Bill Balton shot him
to make him dance in camp.
Stokes says the gang had their
caves in Oklahoma and on Red
River in Texas, where they hid.
He says he was subjected to all
kinds OF brutal treatment, and tried
for years to get away. but was too
closely watched by some member
of the gang. He was not allowed
to talk to any one, under penalty
of being shot.

The West With the President.

Representative Lands of L.
diana, who called upon President
Mckinley recently, is quoted as
saying:
The people of Indiana indorse
the presidents Philippine policy.
They want those islands retained,
and they want Aguinaldo put down
if it requires 500, 900 men to do it..
All this talk about Imperialism is
nonsense The plain people of the
west, the men who plow corn and
hoe potatoes, who work in shops
and on the railroads, have their
minds made up on this subject,
and democrats and republicans
alike favor retaining the Philip
pines. In my little town | don t
know of man who holds the op-
posite view, unless it is some old
relic of the l6 to l free silver
crowd, who has not yet got out of
the woods.
If these last troops had been
raised among the states, that is, if
the regiments could bear the names
of the states and include volun-
teers from the same sections, the
quota could have been filled within
week. The boys in my state
were anxious to enlist if they could
go in their own organizations"

pital said he would be speechless
forever. He is unable to utter a
sound and the nerves of his vocal
organs are said to be permanently
paralyzed. Brace is 90 years old.
Medical experts will make a care

FILIPINO FIGHTING.


A Graphic Description by Capt. W. G..
Rates OF Gen. l.. V. Greene's Staff.
New York Independent: The Filipino
method Of fighting seemed peculiar to
US. saw several night engagements,
which began precisely us the engage
ment OF Saturday. February 4, is re-
ported to have begun. It was the Gus
tom Of the Filipinos at some time dur
Ing the night to open fire on the Span
lsh lines, and keep it up for two or
three hours. The Spaniards, from their
works, would reply in the same man.
ner, and a large amount of ammunl-
ton would be expended on both sides.
with little result. beyond few men
wounded and possibly one or two
killed. Such fights as these were OF
almost nightly occurrence, and have
no doubt that it was fight OF this
kind that the Filipinos began on the
night of February4.
According to their custom. they prob
baly considered 1t over when they stop
ped firing. and never for one moment
supposed that the Americans would
continue the battle next morning, and
advance to the attack. When that hap
pened they were not only surprised
but wholly unprepared. They had never
been in the habit OF fighting or. seeing
civilized troops fighting outside in
trenchmcntS. md 1t was beyond their
comprehension that soldiers could be
got to advance across the open and at
tack fortified positions. The experience
Is similar to nothing in their history.
and the lesson. while 1t was n severe
one. was necessary. and will have 4
most sanitary effect on all future deal
ings between the Americans and the
natives. The belief that the Americans
are afraid because they have treated
the Fillpinos fairly has been rudely dis
PEELED. II probably has become very
apparent to them that the American
troops are not to be t:ifled with. and
that the commanding officers are thor
oughly capable to enforce their orders.
The great mass of the Filipino peo-
pie, including those OF education and
wealth. would welcome an American
protectorate. Aguinaldo Is 4 bright,
shrewd. intelligent man, and realizes
that an American protectorate would
deprive him Of power and authority In
the islands. and so Is opposed to It.
The so-called Filipino republic exists
only on paper. and I am glad 10 see

colors as the dictator. which he has
always been, and dropped the pretense
OF 4 republic and 4 congress. The stu
alton becomes much more clarified by
his action, and he will be better UNDER
stood In this. country. The Tagalos
are about the only people In the Philip
pies who are supporting him. and while
1t Is true that they comprise the ma.
jority of the inhabitants of Luzon, they
are not very numerous in most OF tho
other islands 1t must also be remem-
bered that n large number of the Taga-
los are opposed to Aguinaldo. Hav-
ing no navy or boats OF any descrlp-
ton, 1t would be quite impossible for
him to extend his power to any of the
other Islands.

the relations OF adjectives and nouns

That was an easy question, and all

much as to say, ASK another"
Yes; but what else?" said the inspec-

This was not so easy; but. after n
pause, q boy ventured TO susGeet, "A

Yes, but there Is something more
than that"
This was a poser for the youngsters;
