Insane millionaire, WHO'S now confined
On tho charity OF the state in an asylum

A Hopeful Outlook.

Washington, Nov ?5, by today Gen,
Otis will have received rcinforcements
TO the number of 5000 men, 1t is eX
pectod that the major portion of this
force will be thrown directly into Ca
Vite province, south Of Manila, and
will clean out the insurgents who have
infested that region. The opinion here
Is that Aguinado's army will never
again come together with him in com
mand. Gen. Lawton and Gen. Young
are following him so rapidly into Bay
ambang that no insurgent capital can
be again established.

GRAIN TRAFFIC BLOCKED.
Southern Kansas Side Tracks Full
Of Loaded Cars, I.
ADVANCE IN FREIGHT RATES.

Kansas City, Nov. ETA man always
posted In the grain market and It's
happenings says that Wichita and
aouthern Kansas has seen good many
conditions that blocked grain traffic,
but never until now has the crop Of
wheat and corn and It's shipment
damned on the tracks before. Tho
Missouri Pacific freight offices in Wich,
tn refuse to receive grain billing for
southern points, Not only is this tho
case in Wichita, but at many other
places In Southern Kansas.
Such an immense quantity OF grain
ias gone out In the last two weelsa
hat the main tracks at stations where
grain Is inspected are jammed 80 that
passenger trains can hardly get by.
The switches are all full and incyeased
elevators and inspection forces work.
ng day and night cannot keep tho
Ituif moving, Even when shipments
nave been caught and held at way sta
lions for ten or twelve hours, II haa
'ailed to relieve the pressure and tho
general order has gone out TO hold up,
There are miles and miles OF cars full
II grain that has to wait for days, The
switches were filled up days ago and
The heavier shipments have not started,
Ono prime reason for the jam, OF
course, Is the advance in rates that was
promulgated TO go into effect in few
days. On this account every grain
man that had stuff for immediate ship
ment has made sudden effort TO get
II through and save the additional tar
In that will come with the advanced
rate. Others have tried TO rush every
thing through possible before the adj
vance and the crop being unusually
heavy, which fact in itself has pro.
duced unusually heavy shipments, 1t
has altogether jammed the tracks and
stopped shipments.

New York, Nov ga letter from
an Havana correspondent Is published
here stating that United States officials
after months OF secret investigation,

engaged In the destruction of the
Maine, A oteam launch of Spanish
make, now used by the United States
government in Havana harbor, con-
veycd thc two torpedos, according to
the new evidence, TO point within

being swept away. The torpcdoes
