FACTORY is ALMOST IN SIGHT
SPRINGVILLE'S ENTERPRISE AS
SUMING DEFINITE SHAPE.
Beet Sugar Factory Men Arrange De-
tails For Beginning Operations
Plans For This Summer.
lsnecial to The Herald.l

Springville, Utah, April 5.-The beet
sugar factory project for Springville is
fast assuming definite shape. The in
dications are now that the factory is
almost in sight. Messrs, Cutler, Austin
and Valley We're over from Lehi today
and made measurements of the land
and water needed for the factory. Mr..
Cutler stated that machinery had been
ordered and would soon be on the
ground ready to work up this years
beet CROP. No refinery machinery will
be put in this year. however, and the
beet juice will be sent to the Lehi fac
tory by pipe line and the refining done
over there. The factory built this sum-
mer will be the same size as the one
previously offered, viz, 800 tons daily
capacity save for the refining machin-
cry.
Next year the Springville farmers will
be getting the same price as the Lehi
farmers for their beets- 1t is rumored
that this unexpected movement on the
part of the sugar company is due to the
fact that the railways here could not
supply cars enough to handle the beet
crop when needed. 1t is also limited
that more beet contracts may be let
here, and the acreage thereby largely
increased. Color is lent to the latter
by the fact that the weather this sea-
son is delaying seeding.

sPAN1ARDs JOIN INSURGENTS.
Prisoners Assist Aguinaldo In Or
ganizing His Army

New York, April "a dispatch to the
Herald from Madrid says; The Span
isa war minister received information
on Saturday that a large number of
Spanish officers who had been prison
ers in the hands of the Tagalos, had
entered the service of the latter. Among
the prisoners were some of the chiefs of
the Spanish generals staff and officers
of artillery. In Spanish military circles
this is held to explain the military or
ganizatiun Of the Tagalos against the
Americans, which has hitherto been in
eNplicable.
The following semi-ofiicial note is
published by the Journal, which is
friendly TO Silvela:
"RumOT has reached the government
to the effect that certain general officers
who We're thought to be in captivity
have come to an arrangement with the
rebels. The government has no proof
that this statement is exact, but if i;
were so everybody would understand
that the fault lies with the Americans
for they have. from the beginning, pre-
vented any negotiations for the liberia
ton of the prisoners and have placed
the latter in the positions Of having TO
die of hunger or find some means of
support of life.
Under such circumstances it need
not be thought surprising that individ-
ually some prisoners may have entered
the service of the TagalOs."

IAPAN'S INTEREST IN China
READY TO PROTECT THREATEN
ED EMPIRE.
If Partition Comes, the Japanese Will
Demand Their Share-Keeping An
Eye On Italy.

Vancouver. B. c., April 5.-Oriental ad-
vices brought by steamer Empress of
Japan indicate that Japan has watched
with jealous eye Italy's recent attempt
TO get possession of San Nun. Marquis
Ito has been IN direct communication with
Ii lung Chang and has advised various
reforms. He says the partition of China
will be inevitable should China persist In
her present course of action.
In view of the San Nun affair, the
japanese are saying their government
must abandon the hold-alUof policy hith-
erto adopted, and demand some substan-
tial grant of land from China, probably
port IN tokien.
Count Okuma. ex-premier, advises the
government TO so conduct itself as to in
duce China 10 rely solely upon the gal
lant' assistance of Japan for the main
tenance OF independence. The first mea-
sure to be adopted for that purpose is to
drill several hundred Chinese soldiers by
Japanese officers; secondly, to encourage
the dispatch Of Chinese students to Japan
for study. If the situation should compel
Japan to take a final step, it viii be abso-
lutely necessary for her to hold Annoy
and the railway between that place and
Hankow. This phase can only enter into
Japan calculations when the mainten-
ance of ChinaS S integrity is entirely de-
SPARED of and there is no hope of pre-
venting partition. In the meantime,
Pekin, has applied to the Chinese govern
ment for five new settlements for Japan
exclusive use, TO be opened at Foo Chow.
Annoy, 1nkaw (Newchang), Shanghai and
in addition TO the Iientsin
and Hankow settlements which have been
ceded already. 1t is stated that the Chi
nese government has decided to entertain
the demands, with the exception of
Shanghai and Chungking.
There appears to have been no truth in
the report that the dowager empress had
recalled Ii Hung Chang TO Pekin. The
latter has finished the labor of examining
the Yellow river. but his rivals in the
tsung Ii yamen are trying to keep him
out Of The capital. They fear his infiu-
ence.
Bangkok (Siam) reports say that

officers Joining Insurgents.

Manila, April 5.--There are persistent
cumors today that Aguinaldo, the in
surgent leader has been supplanted in
the control of Filipino affairs by Gen
eral Antonio Luna, commander -in-chief
of the Filipino forces Luna is describ-
ed as being a typical belligerent.
The United States cruiser Charleston
which has been cruising along the west
coast Of Luzon to the north, sent a
boat inshore near Dagupan last Satur
day to make soundings. The rebels
opened fire, wounding United States
officer The cruiser thereupon bonn
barded the town, the insurgents eVacu-
ating 1t.
The proclamation of the United States
Philippine commission was posted in
the streets, printed in English, Spanish
and Tagalos today. 1t was also dis
tributed in the outside towns as far as
Malolos, and has been received with
marked attention by the natives gen
orally, and has been approved by a
number of representative Manilans.
English bankers here who have been
interviewed on the subject are optimis-
tic upon the attitude of the Americans
assuming that it indicates that the de-
csive policy will undoubtedly be sue
cesSful.
A Spanish banker who was inter-
viewed expressed fear that the procla-
nation win not reach the masses con-
trolling the rebellion, because, he eX-
planned, the Filipinos at Manila are
mostly domestics and clerks, who have
no definite opinions, and the Tire-pull-
ers outside of the city have undouht-
edly intercepted it. Continuing, the
Spanish banker said that if the proc
samauon. had been issued on May .. CT
even Aug. IA of last year. the result
would have been different. as, in his
opinion, based on twenty years eX-
perience, the only argument which ap-
peals to the masses here is the gun.
The editor of the Oceanica thinks the
proclamation is the most polite docu-
ment ever published in the Philippine
islands, and that it is bound TO convince
the wavering of the folly. of further
hostilities
An English merchant says the first
clause, with reference to the establish
ment and maintenance of American SOW
ereignty and warning the rebels, should
settle the question in the mind o.
every thinking Filipino.
A Scotch shipowner thinks it does
not leave any further doubt as to the
policy of the United States, and that
consequently Aguinaldo must submit tC
the inevitable, as the continuance OF
hostilities is opposed to the best inter-
eStS of the Philippines.

tory. The amount of sulphur mined, as
slch, in this country, however, was less
than in any year since 1894, and as COM
pared with the imports and consump-
ton. has no appreciable effect upon the
total. The product of 1900 tons, all OF

Fcrt Worth, Tex. April 5.-Dr. Chas.
Y. Harris OF the medical department,
United States army, passed through
here today, en- route to Washington, on
important business with the war de-
partment. He comes from the Philip
pine islands. and says the reports of the
excellent health Of the American troops
are false. DR.. Harris stated that many
United States soldiers. disheartened
over their physical condition, deliber-
ately place themselves as a target for
the enemy's guns.
1t is the opinion of DR.. Harris that
if the American troops remain in the
Philippines any great length of time,
sickness and death is sure to follow
Washington, April 5.-The name of
DR.. Charles Y. Harris is not carried on

st. Louis, Mo-, April "a decision

passing judgment: I'm this case the
wife was more guilty than the husband
for trying to contradict and thwart her
husbands will in the presence of the
children and setting them a bad exam
pie, which he had right to rebuke.
There are times when wife irritates

WAITERSON EXPLAINS.
Does Not Endorse Correspondents
Attack Upon Crisp.

Attack Upon Crisp.
Albany, Ga, April 5.-Henry Waiter
son, who lectured here tonight, gave
out the following statement:
"The impression has gone out that
the statement recently made by a cor
respondent of the Courier Journal, that
the late Charles T. Crisp was 'scheming
for a senatorship when he died. was an
editorial utterance. Especially has this
idea been unduly magnified by certain
newspapers whose admiration for Chas.
f. Crisp lacks great deal of being
equal to my own.
ne ruth of the matter is the state
ment over which SO much commotion
has been raised was made by a CORE
spondent acting on his own RESPONSE
bility, and not sufficiently edited. The
pretense that it was editorially sane
toned is absurd, for no one who keeps
in touch with Georgia politics could
fail to know that Mr.. Crisp's election
was a matter of but a few days when
he died. The matter is so trivial that
ordinarily l would not notice it, but
while soiourning here for few davs
in the section of Georgia where Mr..
Crisp lived, l cannot permit it to go
unchallenged."

Revision of Muster Rolls.

Havana, April 5.-The dissolution oi
the Cuban military assembly an
nounced in these dispatches last night
| does not cause any particular comment
| among CubanS or Americans here, such
a step having been anticipated two
| weeks ago. The American military au-
thorities while pleased that an obsta-
Gle to the disposal of the Cuban army
has been removed, had been prepar-
ing to distribute the S3,000Q00 without
the aid of the assembly's rolls by caus-
ing to be drawn up duplicate rolls. In
this work the provincial governors
were cooperating with the Cuban COM
manders in their provinces. In addi-
ton, the assembly's rolls are being YER
ified and corrected by independent in
quiries, task that may last another
month. In spite of this, the distribu-
ton of money to the Cuban soldiers will
possibly begin in the vicinity of Havana
within a. fortnight.
The general rules controlling the dis
tribution are to exclude all men who
have enlisted since July II, 1898, and tc
exclude former soldiers now holding
government positions or belonging tC
the rural grades, firsr paying each pri-
vate and non-commissiOned officer 500
Then if, as expected, a balance re-
mains, 800 will be paid to each officer
II after this there is any money left
it will be disposed of as the president
directs.
Rumors recently circulated to the
effect that the headquarters of the
governor general will soon be removed
to the City of Santa Clara are abso-
lutely denied by Governor General
Brooke.
It is reported that hereafter the
editors of newspapers will be RESPONSE
Bile for articles published by them.
Heretofore individual writers have
been held legally accountable and the
editors have hired scapegOats to serve
out the sentences imposed for articles
infringing the law.
Ernest Lee Conant and his associates
on the special commission inquiring
into Havana finances, in the course of
an exhaustive report to the local
authorities today, estimate the city's
income on the new plan at 81, 134,00O d
year, or L per cent more than former
estimates based upon the old regime.
General Chaffee and family will sail
for New York tomorrow By the
Orizaba, which will carry the family
of General Humphreys.
A benefit performance is being given
this evening at the Tacon theatre in
aid of the Cuban soldiers.
Plantation raids and the carrying off
Of cattle and horses by outlaws are
reported today as taking place IN the
provinces of Puerto Principe, Santa
Clara, Matanzas and Pinar del Rio.
The Cuban troops in the district are
chasing the mauradeTs, no United
States troops thus far having been
sent after them.
The military administration intends
to suppress the so-called brigands at
widely separated points by means Of
the rural guards and has no present
intention of sending American cavalry
or infantry through the unknown ana
tangled wilderness after these nimble
thieves.
