A ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

The New York Herald printed Satur-
day, under "scare" headlines, an alleged
interview with Admiral Dewey at Trieste,
in which he was made to give utterance to
such gems of diplomatic expression as
these:
"Germany's policy is to prevent other
powers from obtaining what she can not
acquire herself"
"Our next war will be with Germany"
Admiral Dewey not only won a great
victory, but he showed himself master of
tact and diplomacy in the trying days at
Manila following the destruction of the
Spanish fleet. Confidence in him is so
universal that the interview was at once
denounced as fake in all parts of the
country. In answer to criticisms of the
story the Herald stated that the interview
was sent by 'Dr. Halstead Boyland, a we'll
known physician, who sometimes, when
travelling, corresponds for the Herald in a
dlettante way" The Herald explained
further that the Admirars statements in
regard to Germany were made in private
conversation. When the Admiral was in
terviewed in regard to the Herald's article
he simply said that he long ago ceased to
affirm or deny newspaper statements. The
Herald's explanation does not change the
belief of the American people that the
Herald and not Admiral Dewey "slopped
over" One of the Herald's New York
rivals is so unkind as to say that "dilet-
tante way" is a new expression for lying.

Battle with Indians.
Fierce Engagement Fought with In

Been Killed.

Fierce Engagement Fought with Tn.
dians---Report That Americans usv.
Been Killed.
Report comes from the lower Yaoui riv-
er country in Mexico that rowing bands of
Indians have killed many Mexicans and
Americans.
Fears are expressed for the safety of the
large number of American prospectors who
have been pouring into the Sierra Madre
mountains during the last year.
On the 22d of last month signs of the
present trouble became apparent, and
Chief Tetabiste, always peaceably inclined.
ordered the tribe to remain quiet, and or
dered i've of the principal disturbers shot.
The Indians fell upon their chief and beat
him to death with clubs, and then large
band massacred so soldiers in the barracks
at Baeum. Gen. Lorenzo Torres, with
only 2OO men, marched to Bacum. A bat
tie was waged for two days, in which 40
Haguis and IL soldiers perished.
The Yaquis were pushed back towards
the mountains, and ON the third day an
other fight took place, in which 43 Yaouis
and four chiefs we're killed. The Yaduis
hills. '-'o
- S'"'S iOOPS were gathered from all over
sonora by Gov. Torres. About 1900 men
III an were mobilized, and pursued the va
gus into their mountain fastness.
The Yaquis took possession on the peaks
OF Cuestaalta, and the latest report is that
a battle was fought on July 20, and that
the troops were gaining advantage.
The Indians have been fighting among
themselves for five days about Dcan, a
large proportion of them being opposed to
the rising.
Ihe present outbreak was precipitated
largely by the rush of prospectors to the
country thrown open in 1893 by treaty.
Inc fapuis we're then assigned large
stretch OF territory for their exclusive use.
Recently prospectors were given permis-
sion by the government to invade the do
main set aside for the Indians, and many
Americans took advantage of the conces-
sion.

Lightning struck the barn of Charles
Weed of Hinesburg Wednesday and the
barn, with large quantity of hay, was
burned. The loss is 1920; insurance
$500. Lightning also struck the barn of
Elmer Stokes in Starksboro, and this, with
its contents, was burned to the ground.
The loss is 5000 with small insurance.
The town of Ludlow will try the expert
ment of municipal street lighting and
power plant. A special village meeting
was held Tuesday night and voted to build
an electric light plant at cost not to ex-
ceed $4,000. George Il. Levy, Fred o.
Knight and L. G.. Fullam were elected a
committee to have charge of the work.
Times are very bad in Australia. In
Victoria it is estimated that 10, 600 men are
out of employment, while in Sydney 1000
and in Adelaide 5000 have registered at the
labor office. The cause is said to be the
prolonged drouth from which the whole of
Australia, not a generously watered land
at the best, has been suffering. South
Australia has lost about 1900 persons in
seven years from the excess of emigration
over immigration.
Eugene Brazee of Geneva, N. Y, who
was struck on the side of the head by
falling timber last April and appeared at
the time to have escaped serious injury,
has been losing his memory ever since un-
til he had finally forgotten his name or the
commonest words. Then he lost the pow
er of speech and his right side became par
alyzed. All this has now been remedied
by an operation on the skull. The patients
memory and power of speech have return
ed to him and he is making rapid progress
to a complete recovery.

Col. IngersolI's Greed.

"To love justice, to long for the right,
to love mercy, to assist the weak, to for
get wrongs and remember benefits, to love
the truth, to be sincere, to utter honest
words, to love liberty, to wage relentless
war against slavery in all its forms, to love
wife and child and friend, to make a hap
by home, to love the beautiful in art, in
nature; to cultivate the mind, to be famil
lar with the mighty thoughts that genius
has expressed, the noble deeds of all the
world; to cultivate the courage and cheer
fulness, to make others happy, to fill life
with the splendOr of generous acts, the
warmth of loving words; to discard error,
to destroy prejudice, to cultivate hope, to
see the calm beyond the storm, the dawn
beyond the night; receive new truths with
gladness, to do the best that can be done
and then be resigned-this is the religion
of reason, the creed of science. This sat

From Brooklyn Bridge.
sensational Leap Yesterday of a Drunk
en- Theatrical Man who Was Not Sc
riOusIy Iniured.

Sensational Leap Yesterday of n Drunk
en- Theatrical Man who Was Not Sc
riOusly Injured.
Herman Hauser, treasurer of the Herald
Square theatre, jumped from Brooklyn
bridge yesterday afternoon. A little girl
riding in street car crossing the bridge
expressed a wish to see man jump from
the bridge.
"Well, l am afraid you won't get your
wish today" replied her father.
Wont she?" came a voice in reply.
"I'll jump for the little girl"
The last speaker was Hauser, who
sprang from his seat, jumped from the
car, and was soon high up on the rail
ready for the plunge. He waved his hand
to the people in the car, sprang into the
air and went down like a shot.
Many people on the ferryboat South
ampton saw Hauser jump, and when he
came to the surface of the water Frank
Lukey sprang overheard and seized him.
Both men were pulled on board by deck
hands. Hauser complained of pains in his
side, but did not seem to be seriously in
jured.
He recovered quickly under a physi-
clans treatment. He said he jumped be-
cause he was a drunken fool. Later he
said that when he heard the talk about
jumping from the bridge he was seized
with an irresistible desire to make the leap.

MOwgli's Oath.
From the Burlington Free Press. !

Since the appearance the other day in
these columns of reference to the SINH
larity between the oath "By the bull that
bought me-" which Mr.. Kipling put in the
mouth of MOwgli, the Man-cub who grew
up among the wolves, and the historic oath
of Matthew Lyon, we have learned from
excellent sources, that Mowgli's oath was
not a coincidence but an appropriation.
When Mr.. Kipling was residing at Brattle-
boro, his attention was called to the story
of Matthew Lyon by DR.. James Conland
of that town. Lyons oath, "By the bulls
that redeemed me-" struck Mr.. Kipling
as exceedingly curious and original and
he used it in his second "Jungle Book"
Strange TO say the similarity passed wholly
unnoticed till, in 1895, two years after,
some one in the Louisville (Ky.) Courier
Journal called attention to it, mentioning
as one of the few things that Vermont and
Kentucky had in common, the fact that
each OF them was represented in Congress
by Matthew Lyon, and adding: "As Mr..
Kipling resides in Vermont, his close imi-
tation of Matthew Lyons peculiar oath is
at least noteworthy coincidence, IL not a
case of unconscious cerebration" This
last suggestion, as we are told, much
amused Mr.. Kipling at the time That
MOwgli should not have recalled Matthew
Lyon in the minds of VermOnters, long be-
fore this, would seem to indicate that the
jungle Book readers in this state are not
as familiar as they might be with the early
history OF Vermont and her noted men of
a century ago.

crisis. Belgium has yet other crises to
meet, but her tremendous resources will
enable her to come out on top. In Berlin
l met many leading statesmen. One
learns much from such men, and obtains a
point of view totally different from that OF
America. 1 found everywhere on the
Continent evidence of a continued and
growing goodwill in the best circles and
among those whose opinion every Ameri-
can values. l spent a month in Paris,
and watched the French and the French
constitution with wonderment. The in
finite wit of the French, with the casual

Naturally, l cannot give opinions of home

istration are now tackling field of foreign
politics never presented to or dealt with by
any former administration. Time will
straighten out this tremendous problem
presented to us. All can say is that we

Mr.. Reed went on to say that he had
noticed many changes in England. There
had been, he said, a great revolution in in
stitutions and the international education
of the people, They know Americans bet
ter. On every side, Mr.. Reed said, he saw
signs that Great Britain was on the crest
of wave of prosperity. America was en-
joying similar experience. Everything" 4"
Mr. Reed concluded, ''points to the con-
tinuance of this prosperity. We only
want to get foreign difficulties ended
quickly, and internal prosperity will con-
tinue for long period"

named Nelson and her little son, aged six
years, got off the cars at Chicago. She
had little ready money, but was in debt,
having been forced to borrow S35 from
friends at home for the expenses of her
long journey 70 America. This week, if
nothing occurs to detain him, her son-now
Hon. Knute Nelson, ex-governor of Min

it, his small hand in his mothers, in the
