REAR ADMIRAL ALBERT KAurx

the killing of the sailors has not mate
rally changed the general problem
though it has undoubtedly added to the
difficulty of dealing with the specific
situation.
The arrest and detention by the Brit
ish naval officials of a German subject
is one of the most dangerous features of
the controversy. 1t is said that the con-
suls of the three powers stationed at
Apia claim extra-territorial jurisdiction,
involving the right to try the subjects
Of their respective countries for any Of
fenses alleged to have been committed.
Under this practice the German consul,
Rose, may demand the surrender of the
German subject. If the man is guilty
it is considered improbable that the
British will yield unless upon some
adequate guarantee that he is to be suf-
ficiently punished. 1t is not believed
likely that Rose will make such promise.
1t is believed that Admiral Kautz, with
the cooperation of the British, will con-
tinue his efforts to bring the rebel
lious natives to terms. This is not
likely to be an easy task, in view of the
small force at his command, but it is
possible the British government may
accept the proposal of the authorities
Of New Zealand, to send a regiment of
soldiers to Samoa.
No protest thus far has been lodged
at the department against Admiral
Kautz.

WHO WILL 1T BE?
Question of Sixth Ward CounciImen
Making Trouble.

There is a spirited contest for the
two positions of councilmen to repre-
sent the Sixth ward in the city council.
The Sixth ward is what has been the
city of PotWin Place but which is now
a part of Topeka.
There are numerous candidates for
the positions. The councilmen for the
first year will be appointed by Mayor
Drew but after that they will be elected
at the same time councilmen are elect
ed in other wards.
Considerable rivalry has been started
between the opponents and friends of
Col J. w. F. Hughes who has served
one term as mayor of POtwin and who
was reelected. He and his friends think
that the fact he was mayor when the
two cities were consolidated ought to
entitle him to one Of the places in the
council. Just why such a bitter fight
one seems to know but it has reached
an advanced stage and the anti-Hughes
faction is clamoring for ''any one but
Col Hughes
will go to F. G.. Willard, cashier of the
Merchants National bank, and no bet
ter appointment could be made for Mr..
Willard is alive to the necessities of
the city and an advocate of progression
in city affairs.
Some of the people who are fighting
Col. Hughes say that in the event that
Mr.. Willard is appointed the other
both Mr.. Willard and Col Hughes live
on Greenwood avenue.
Councilman J. w. Stoker and Council
man Myers both live in Auburndale and
both are candidates. The largest petit
tion is for the appointment of L. A.
Stebbins but the members of the To-
peka council are opposed to the appoint
ment of a lawyer and this will bar Mr..
StebbinS.
Mayor Drew has gracefully shifted
the responsibility of the appointment
= h. IL
says that the members will be co-work-
ers of the new councilmen and should
have a voice in saying who they shall
be. A meeting will be held to agree
upon the representatives In the event
that the council can not agree Mayor
Drew will make the appointment with
out a recommendation.
The two members of the school board
to which the new ward is entitled will
be elected by the board of education of
the city of Topeka.

LAWTON MARCHING ON.
Driving the Filipinos Before Him
With Little Opposition.

Manila, April 15.-Gen. Lawton is
marching north along the road between
the hills and the lake, with the gunboats
Napidan and Laguna de Bay abreast of
his troops. The enemy is retreating
northward.
On Wednesday the troops crossed the
Paghanjan and concentrated at Lam
bun, at the mouth of the river. After
leaving two companies of the Four
teenth regiment to guard the entrance
to the river, the troops marched to Lon
gas and found it deserted. Furniture
which had been dropped in the flight
of the natives was scattered along the
trails leading to the hills. Maj. WeiSen-
berger's sharpshooters were sent toward
Pactos Aconten in the afternoon. They
ran upon nest of rebels in some thick
bushes which afforded a splendid cover.
Five men of the North Dakota regiment
were killed and two were wounded, two
of the former dying after being brought
to Longas church where Father Nc
I[innan administered the sacrament to
them. The main body of the American
troops, while at dinner at LOngas, heard
the firing and advanced to the support
of the sharpshooters. scout from
hill saw the little fight and many white
coats running into the hills. The La
guna de Bay, at the beginning of the
fight shelled the hills, making them too
hot for the enemy. The Americans en-
tered San Antonio at sunset without
meeting with any resistance.
Twenty unarmed prisoners, bearing
copies of the proclamation OF the United
States Philippine commission, were af-
terward released and sent outside of the
line with bundles of proclamations to
distribute.
The Fourth cavalry is guarding San
ia Cruz.
Two companies of the Fourteenth reg
iment are at the mouth of the river,
two are at Pasig and two at Lambun
and one of the Fourteenth regiment
and four of the North Dakota regiment
are at San Antonio. The remainder of
the troops are at LOngas.
Gen. Lawton is on board the Laguna
de Bay and the cascOes are off San An
tonic. The country just occupied is
thicl1ly populated and produces much
fruit.
McKenna of the signal corps is in
defatigable. He ran wire through the
hostile country without having a guard
with him.

RETALIATORY CLAUSE
Of the Dingley Law About to Be Ap-
piled to Canada.

Washington, April ia crisis, 1t is
said, has been about reached in the
controversy between the American
owners of Canadian timber in the
province of Ontario and the parliament
of that province which recently passed
an act prohibiting the expectation of
all logs. The OntariOan officials have
so constructed this act as to apply to
all timber purchased and paid for by
Americans prior to the passage or the
act. The retroactive effect of this leg
islation if maintained, it is said, Will be
to render worthless large holdings of
Canadian stumpage, purchased by
Americans from the crown lands in the
proclamation of Ontario and also to
prevent the operation of extensive saw
mills erected on the American side
which have no other source of supply
than the Canadian timber referred to.
When these conditions became known
to the American timber owners they
memOrfalized the government of the
United States to make reclamation from
Great Britain as the United States had
no diplomatic relations with the domin-
ion of Canada The matter was referred
to the joint high commission, but that
tee of timber owners, headed by eX-
Governor Rich of Michigan, came to
Washington a few days before the COM
mission dissolved and asked the Secre-
tary of the treasury to impose the re-
taliatory clause of the Dingley act.
1t is stated that conclusion has
been practically reached by Secretary
Gage to apply the retaiatory clause of
the Dingley act forthwith in default of
an assurance from the Canadian gov
ernment that the provincial act referred
to shall not be construed to prevent the
expectation of logs purchased and paid
for by Americans prior to the passage
of the act. Whether this retaliation
would go to the extent of prohibiting
altogether the importation of Canadian
lumber or whether a. duty would be i'm
posed which would be prOhibitory in it's
effect, has not yet been determined.

20 FIRE ENGINES
Striving to Stop q COnfiagratiOn
In Cleveland.

Cleveland April 15-The immense
wholesale millinery establishment of
Hart & Co., occupying the block from
Bank to Academy street is burning.
1t is now said by the firemen that no
lives have been lost but several are
known to have been injured. The flames
are spreading Twenty engines, a water
tower and two fireboats are throwing
water into the burning buildings.
The fire originated in the four story
brick building occupied by Conveys
Johnson, hat manufacturers and spread
with great rapidity throughout the
structure and to the adjoining brick
block occupied by Hart & Co, whole
sale milliners, and several other firms.
The loss so far is roughly estimated at
half a million dollars. Both buildings
were crowded with hundreds of girls.
Many of them were carried down the
fire escapes by the firemen. About a
dozen men cut off from escape in the
Hart building ran to the roof and be-
gan crying for assistance.
The crowd below begged the unfOr-
up as fast as possible and all on the
roof were soon brought safely to the
ground.
The injured thus far:
Mary Milett, burned about the face
and head; condition critical
Z. ]. Rockert, badly burned.
Three unknown men, badly burned.
ROckert jumped from a window and
is severely injured.
