Washington, April 23-Secretary Al
ger has received from Major General
Otis at Manila : report regarding the
alleged reasonable communications
which it is asserted have passed be-
tween the people in this country and
the soldiers. The secretary felt from
the first that there were no grounds
for the sensa tional statements. but as
a matter of public policy, took imme-
diate steps to learn from General Otis
what, if any, foundation existed for
them.
The latter's report shows that one of
the regiments under his command re-
ceived some cablegrams reading as fol-
lows:
Don't enlist, boys"
One or two of these We're signed
"Committee'' or 'The Committee,
while others had no signatures. The
secretary did not make nubic the name
of the organization to which the dis
patches had been sent The whole mat
ter had been very much exaggerated,
he said, as General Otis reports show
ed that it was only to the above extent
that any communication of the charac-
ter indicated had passed. He said he
attributed them entirely to the work

MEAGRE INFORMATION.
But the American Troops Made a Gallant
Fight.

Washington. April 23.-Little infor-
nation came to the authorities to-day
respecting the operations in the vicinity
of Quengua, and. while regretting the
severe loss sustained, they were loath
to comment on it, in the absence of
fuller information, From what was re-
ceived, it was evident that the troops
engaged in the fighting were portion
of those commissioned in General Mac
Arthurs division, and probably were
engaged in clearing the jungle of bands
of insurgents infesting it.
Much admiration was expressed for
the vaIor shown by the Americans un-
der strong fire from the insurgents and
in the face of the unfavorable climatic
conditions The dispatches were sent
to the white house for the presidents $
information. Adjutant General Corbin
was with the president for short time
this evening, and he was the only Off
cial of the war department who put IN
an appearance.

A STRICT DISClPLINARlAN.
The Nebraska Men Learned to Love the
Man Who Led Them.

Washington. April 23.-Colonel John
Miller Stotsenburg of the lst Nebraska
infantry, who had rank of captain in
the regular army, killed in the recon-
noissance at Quenga, was born in In
diana Nov. "a. 1858. and appointed a ca
det at the military academy July, 1871
and graduated No. Al of his class He
was appointed second lieutenant of the
9Th cavalry in 1881 and became cap
tain December IA. 1898.
He served with his regiment in Ari-
zona and New Mexico from 1887 to 1890
at the close of the latter year partici-
pating in the Sioux campaign in the
action at Wounded Knee. S. d.
He was at Fort Niobrara from 1891 to
1894 and then served for Il few months
at Fort Myer, near WASHINGTON, going
thence to the infantry and cavalry
school at Fort LeaVenworth, Kan.
where he graduated with distinguished
hOnorS.
Colonel Stotsenburg then served with
his regiment at Fort Leavenworth until
December 1897, and from that time to
the following April was professor of
military science and tactics at the Uni
versity of Nebraska. He was mustered
in as a major of the 1st Nebraska in
faptry May last. and as colonel of
the same regiment November 10, 1898.
He sailed with his regiment for Manila
June 15.
In appearance he was short and slight
and had rather an asCetic cOuntenanCe,
due, perhaps, to the fact that he was
always a very studious man. He was a
strict disciplinarian, and the recruits he
had to break in during the early months
of his command Of the 1st Nebraska re-
sented his methods so bitterly that they
procured the passage of a resolution of

he was No Sooner Discharged Than H e
Was in Jail Again.
John Schneider, the man who is an
der arrest awaiting the arrival of the
sheriff from Weiser. Idaho, with a war
rant for his arrest on the charge of
criminal assault, was taken before
Judge Clancy again on the writ of ma
beas corpus issued on Tuesday and
there being no further opposition to the
lease
Il think if those people over there
had used diligence they could be here
by this time" said Judge Clancy who
had continued the hearing twice to give
the officer time to get here with the
requisition.
John N. Kirk, counsel for Schneider,
had evidently received intmation that
his client would be rearrested as soon
as discharged and he asked the court
if his discharge should not be a protec-
ton against rearrest. The judge said
that was a matter between the accused
and the officers. Schneider left the
court house with several friends and
was allowed to go as far as the bottom
of the first set of steps and then Under
Sheriff Murphy stopped him and took
him back to Jail, while Mr.. Kirk at once
prepared papers in another habeaS cor
pus proceedings and Schneider will
probably be brought into court again
to-day. He was rearrested by the I'M
der sheriff upon a telegram from the
Weiser sheriff, who was at Boise yester-
day getting the governors signature to
requisition papers, and he will probably
arrive in Butte to-day.
Schneider is a very sick man, being
threatened with pneumonia and he
went into court last night contrary to
the doctors orders and as soon as he
had been returned to Jail it was found
necessary to summon the county ply
stefan again.
Schneider is the man, it turns out,
who lived in East Butte six or eight
months ago and had his wife and her
brother arrested on the charge of sus-
tanning a criminal relationship, but
when they had their hearing Schneider
could produce no proof to substantiate
his accusation. The brother-in-law
whom he accused was in court with
him last night and they seemed to be
on friendly terms. Schneider and his
wife also seem to have been living to-
gether again, for a telegram was re-
ceived for him Yesterday asking for
some money with which to come to

PARK COUNTY SCHOOLS
They Will Be Kept Going the
Full Term.
WILL PAY SPECIAL TAX
The Northern Pec f1c Has Offered Its
Proportion = The School Board
Pleased at the Spirit Shown
by the &c mpany.

Special Correspondence of the Standard.
| Livingston, Nov. 14.--The affairs OF
the Park county schools are taking a
most gratifying turn and the friends
of education in this commonwealth are
jubilant over the prospect that now pre-
sents itself with reference to the col
lection of funds for the purpose Of keep
ing our schools going a full term. 1t
was predicted some time ago that the
Northern Pacific railway would pay the
| illegally levied special tax and a letter
received yesterday by County Treasurer
Livingston makes the fact certain that
| this corporation will toe the mark in
approved style and pay it's proportion
of the tax. The communication is
signed by G. S. Fernald. tax commits
sioner of the company and reads. in
part as follows:
In reference to the illegal special
school tax in your county I am glad to
advise you that the president of this
company approaching the Importance
of supporting the schools, and upon
your representation that the taxpayers
in your county generally will pay this
tax, has authorized me to say that
whenever two-thirds of the illegal spe-
cial school tax in any district in your
county, outside of the taxes on North
ern Pacific property, have been paid
for 1899. and you will officially certify
this fact to me- that the Northern Pa
cific company will pay the illegal spe-
cial school tax upon it's property in
such district for the year 1899.
The company feels that it should
not be expected to pay this illegal tax
unless the other taxpayers generally
pay it, but is willing to share any just
burden of taxation with other taxpay-
ers. Please advise me if this PROPOSE
ton is acceptable to your county"
In view Of the fact that every man.
SO far. but one, has paid the special
school tax at the time he paid his other
taxes, and that one did not refuse out
right, but said he would wait until it
was known whether the tax was being
generally paid, there is no doubt that
the two-thirds majority of the taxpay-
ers necessary to enable the county to
collect from the Northern Pacific will
pay the tax. The small taxpayers GER
tainly can have no complaint to make
about their burdens when all the large
taxpayers are coming to the front in
manner most commendable There is
no doubt that everybody will pay the
tax. Park county will need no "certi-
ficate of Indebtedness" plan, nor will it
be compelled to borrow money in order
to keep the schools open full term,
but the people here will adopt the east
est, most available and only practicable
way out of the difficulty-that of paying
the shot like good citizens and men
whose local pride compels them to con-
tribute their share toward maintaining
the educational facilities.
The school board held the first regu-
lar meeting that has taken place in
some time last Monday evening. A
