Insurgents Attack the spanfsh n.

NEW YORK, May ia dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from Ma
Mia says: On May the Spanish gar
rison at Zamboanga, Colonel Oriz
commanding, was attacked by insur-
gents with arms which were taken
from the Spanish gunboats before they
were transferred to America. The gar
rison fought valiantly against this in
applicable aggression, driving the in
surgents back and completely repuls-
ing them.
The Spanish general, Montero, gov
ernor general of the province, was
seriously wounded, as were also Major
Gimino and Captain Billiu, who was
mortally hurt. Lieutenant Granadas
was slightly wounded, one soldier was
killed and three wounded. The insur-
gents suffered severely.
An American merchant ship, the Dos
Hermanos, which happened to be in
port, was Immediately dispatched to
Iloilo. Captain Cano cabled the facts
to General Rios at Manila, who cabled
to Madrid. The government replied
to put the transports Leon XIII. and
ueitoT ItlCO dI the AueI lCdHS us
posal for the evacuation of the Span
ish garrison.
Rios asked for the evacuation long
time before. He had a conference
with General Otis yesterday. The
Spaniards are capable of holding the
place temporarily. The above trans
ports are being inspected for the pur-
pose of transferring American troops
to Zamboanga.

Deaf of Chief Moses Keokuk.

Keokuk dispatch: Word has just
been received here from Guthrie, Okl.,
of the death of Chief Moses Keokuk,
son of the Greater Keokuk. first chief
of the Sac and Fox Indians, after
whom this city was named. Moses Ke-
okuk was so years old, and his grand
son, John Earle Keokuk, now resides
in this city, having come here last
November to make his home in the city
named in honor of his great grand
father. Smallpox was the cause of the
death of Chief Moses Keokuk. The
Sac and Fox tribe now numbers but
312 full-bloods, 10S having died of
smallpox The elder Chief Keokuk died
in 1S48, and was succeeded as chief by
his son Moses, known as the Watch
full Fox"
Chief Moses Keokuk visited this city
in 1882, being the guest of the city at
the Fourth of July celebration that
year. The city unveiled a monument
to his father in Rand Park, and Moses
was the guest of honor. the city ap-
propriating $500 to pay the expenses
of himself and small band Of Sac and
Fox Indians to and from this city.
Chief Moses keokuk was converted,
well educated and became a Baptist
minister, but always retained his chief
ship. BY reason of his education and
hereditary tribal rights, he became
one of the most prominent Indians in
Oklahoma and was a chief of much in
fluence.

Strain Too Great for Irving.

LONDON, May 15.-Sir Henry IT.
wing, whose recent work in the title
role of Sardou's famous drama, Robe
SPHERE" at the Lyceum theater has
been exceedingly trying, was taken
seriously Ill Sunday morning with an
affection OF the throat. DR.. Farrar, a
specialist, was Immediately summoned
and as the result of his advice it is
announced this evening that Sir Hen
rvs part during the present week will
be taken by his son, Lawrence. Law
renee Irving is Sir Henry's understudy
in several notable roles.
The announcement of the illness
brought large number of professional
callers this evening to Sir Henry Ir-
Wings residence in Grafton street, but
his medical adviser has forbidden him
to receive any one at present.
1t is hoped that with complete rest
he will be restored to his usual health
by the end of the week.

Year of Jnbilee Decreed.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-The papal
bull issued in Rome within the last
few days decreeing that the year 1900
shall be a jubilee throughout the
church is expected here shortly and
will be announced in all churches
throughout the country.
The issuance of a bull on the subject
gives 1t special solemnity. 1t has been
the custom to hold jubilees of the
church every twenty-five years, and
at one time these were the occasion
for the gathering Of vast concourses
at Rome to receive the special dispen-
sations and indulgences allowed DUR
ing jubilee years. 1t is expected, how
ever, by the highest church authorities
here that the jubilee next year will be
quite generally celebrated throughout
the world, thus giving it a more uni
versal aspect instead of being centered
at Rome, though doubtless it will lead
to many pilgrimages to Rome and the
gathering there of distinguished
churchmen.
The jubilee next year is considered
more important than that held every
twenty-five years, as it ushers in a
new century and comes at a time when
Pope Leo is old and very feeble, his
90th year having been completed in
March.

CroD Conditions

crop report issued today shows the
conditions as being very favorable and
the season as fully advanced as usual
at this period. There has been Won
derful recovery from the late severe
spring and indications now point to
beautiful harvests of small grain and
a large acreage of corn. The sum-
mary:
The mean temperature of the last
week was above normal, the average
daily excess ranging from degrees to
degrees. On the morning Of the 4th
frost was observed at many stations,
but no damage resulted. The rainfall
was ample in all districts and some
what excessive in portions of the
southern and central sections. Wea-
Their conditions have been favorable
for the growth of grass and all small
grain crops, which are reported to be
in very fine condition. Pasturage is
now sufficiently advanced for the full
support of stock. A large area has
been prepared for corn and planting
will be in full progress as soon as the
condition of the soil will permit. In
numerous localities a fair beginning
has been made in planting. Apple,
plum and cherry trees are generally
in bloom. In respect to LEAKAGE, bloom
and general growth of vegetation the
season is now about as well advanced
as the average of recent years.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, May 16-
Considerable dissatisfaction is ex-
pressed here over the demand of the
United States government that the
Cuban soldiers relinQuish their arms
before receiving their shares in the
distribution of the 100000.
La Independence and other papers
publish excited articles protesting
against the acceptance of any such
proposal La Independence suggests
that a stamp tax be instituted by
means of which loyal Cubans would be
enabled to save the soldiers from the
dishonor and humiliation Of giving up
the arms which won their liberty"
On all sides among the Cubans of
Santiago violent expressions are heard
regarding what is termed the niggard-
ly conduct of the Americans.

in which is an interesting account of
the funeral of Quartermaster Sergeant

disease the soldiers marched with the
body to the burying place, but were
not permitted to approach within a
certain distance. The coffin contain
ing the body was drawn on cart, to
which a pony was attached, and the
pail bearers were Filipino prisoners,

BLAME SANGUILLY.


Cubans Say He Is at the Bottcm of Un-
favorable Reports.
HAVANA, May 15.-General Gomez
has sent message to Governor Gen.
eral Brooke that lie will do himself
she pleasure of calling at headquarters
tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock for a
turther conference regarding the pay
ment OF the Cuban troops. The appoint
ment for the interview Is the result
OF a direct inquiry as to what Gener-
al Gomez intended to do in view of the
resignation and non-appearance of all
the Cuban officers nominated by him to
represent the several corps in the dis
trtbution of the 100000. General
Brooke Is determined to disregard for
the present the reports that reach him
from various sources as to the alleged
intention of Gomez to withdraw his
cooperation and thus to throw into
confusion the carefully matured plans
for distributing the fund.
He believes that the personal inter-
view tomorrow ought to adjust the
temporary perplsxity. He is unwill-
ing to consider Gomez as insincere or
as acting in bad faith, but the COVER
nor general still retains the discretion
reposed in him by President Mckinley
to abandon the effort to disband the
late insurgents with the gratuity and
to send back the entire amount to the
United States.
The Cuban general, Raefel Rodri-
guez, speaking for Gomez today, said
that the reports of a difference with
General Brooke were absolutely I'M
true. The attitude of Gomez, ne de-
clared, had undergone no change and
the principal generals of the Cuban ar
my, as we'll as the rank and file, con-
tlnued to support Gomez as they al
ways had.
He fatty denied that there had been
any meeting of Cuban officers at
which Gomez had been present or held
with his approval where a decision
had been reached not to surrender the
arms, and he explained that all the
talk about revolt in the army against
the surrendering of the arms was the
work of members of the former mill
tary assembly, "a group of malcontents
behind Manuel Sanguilly, who can give
no trouble and are not worth consider
alton"
In explaining the withdrawal Of the
Cuban generals who were appointed
to serve with the Americans in dis
tributing the 100000 General Rodri-
guez said that Rojas probably with
drew owing to the anti-Gomez influ-
ence; Nodarse because General Brooke
had not appointed him civil governor
of Havana, and Monteaguedo because
ne was busy in the province of Santa
Clara, giving Major General Wilson the
benefit OF his cooperation there. Rod
riguez expressed himself as confident
that other officers of equal prominence
and authority would be found to act
with the Americans. AS early as March
". Gomez agreed that the arms should
be stored in the military custody of the
United States. This plan was clearly
understood by the Cubans. Neverthe-
less the politicians and some of the
more restless Cuban officers are today
talking in a warlike strain, spreading
exciting stories about taking to the
woods" and fighting the Americans,
and attributing to Gomez things he
never said

Mckinley Will Greet the Troops.

HOT SPRINGS, Va, May Let is
the intention of President Mckinley to
be in the western states at the time
of the return of the volunteers who
have done heroic service in the Phil
ippines. 1t is expected that the neces-
sity for the retention of volunteers
in the island of Luzon will not exist
much longer, and when the volunteers
reach their native states for muster
out Mr.. Mckinley hopes to be there
to greet and honor them. If the trip
to the west already planned should
not occur when the volunteers are
returning another journey will be
made to carry out this purpose.

ing to Grant Requests.
THE EIlIPINOS SEEK TO FARLEY.
Proposal IL Probably Prompted by Native
Congress at San Isidor-Ten Men Sur
prise and Put to Route Force of Two
Hundred Matters at Ma
Mia Continue Quiet.

MANILA, May 15.-The civilian
pine commission are favorable to the
meeting with a Filipino commission,
which was suggested yesterday on be-
half of Aguinaldo by Lieutenant Roys
OF the staff of General Gregerio Del
Pillar, who came to General Lawton
under flag of truce, bearing the pro-
posal. 1t is thought by the American
commissioners that the idea may have
resulted from recent meeting of the
so-called Filipino congress at San
Isidor. The local Filipino commission,
which Is in close communication with
the leaders of the rebellion, is doing
Its utmost to secure peace.
Ten members of Major General
Lawton's band of scouts, under w. M.
Young, the old Indian fighter, entered
the town of San Miguel, about fifteen
miles north of Norsegaray, not aware
of what place it was. They found 200
Fflipinos there, but the rebels, taking
the scouts for the advance of General
Lawton's army, fed after firing a few
shots. Young and another scout were
wounded and have been brought to
Manila.
The Ninth infantry and a mountain
battery of six guns have been sent to
the front.
The uniform quiet now prevailing
in Manila has led the authorities to
relax the rule under which the city
streets were cleared from to $50
p. m. and there is in consequence the
To- l-;ll ~,
of pedestrians and people in carriages
at the concerts on the Luenta that has
been known here since the Spaniards
left.
Prof. Schurmann, president of the
United States Philippine commission,
gave farewell luncheon today to Ad
miral Dewey, at which Prof. Dean c.
Worcester and Colonel Charles DENLY
of the commission, with General Mac
Arthur, Mrs. Lawton and others. were
present. The health of the admiral
was drunk with the utmost cordlality.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-The fol-
lowing dispatch from Major General
Otis, giving the status of the military

ations against the insurgents, was

The new grain elevator in Council
Bluffs that is being built by F. H.
Peavey & Co. and rapidly nearing
completion will have capacity OF
100000 bushels. The. cost of the
structure will be 100000 and it will
be one of the largest and most COM
plete elevators in the country.
Peavey & Co., who have chain of
elevators all through the wheat coun-
try, and especially at important ship
ping points, have decided to adopt a
fire plan in the construction of their
future elevators. Mr.. Peavey has in
vestigated the Roumanian system and,
being we'll satisfied with it, will soon
build at Duluth the first fireproof ele-
vator in the United States. 1t will be
built entirely of cement plates and
concrete. and will be practically hides
tructible. Fire cannot injure it or it's
contents In cost it will be something
less, it is thought, than steel AMI
rather more than wood. The great
saving in such an elevator will be in
the decreased cost of insurance. 1t is
calculated that where 11a per cent IS
paid now one-fourth of l per cent will
be the charge in a cement elevator.
