Yesterday morning and tells how he
was taken prisoner by some hostiles on

thizer and eager to join them, he
gained their confidence, and when an
oppertune time arrived he mounted

in the brush and pulled out for the val

Threshers Poisoned.

Algona, Aug. 24.-About a dozen
threshers engaged at work on Samuel
Dodd's farm, four miles east Of town,
We're poisoned by eating cabbage. 1t is
supposed that paris green had been
used on the cabbage to kill worms. The
men gave every evidence of arsenical
poisoning. Several were in a very pre-
carious condition and 1T was only by
the exercise of the strongest antidotes
that DIR. Morse was enabled to prevent
the poison from getting in it's work
Two of the men are still seriously i'll,
but according to reports received from
the farm house yesterday morning
there is conviction in the mind of the
attending physician that they will re-
cover and the poisoning will only end in
Inconvenience, not fatally, as was sup
posed at first. 1t is known that the cab
bage was generously sprinkled with
paris green during the time of IT'S
growth and the only way to account for
the condition of the men is that the
cabbage still became saturated with the
poison.

President and Secretary Root Want
to Capture Filipino Leader.

President and Secretary Root Want
to Capture Filipino Leader.
Washington. Aug. 2S.-Both Mckinley
and Secretary Root are firmly con-
WINGED that if the capture of Aguinaldo
can be effected the rebellion will speed
lily collapse. So believing. they will use
all the available military force-that is
to say. the $4,000 men which Gen. Otis
will surely have by November at the
latest-for the accomplishment of this
purpose
Aguinaldo is shrewd enough to sus-
Ipect the intentions of the United States
in this respect. and he is now sending
small Tagal forces to the other islands
to stir up strife, in the hope that he
may be able to divert part of the
American force from Luzon and thus
lessen his danger His plan is patent to
the administration, and little heed will
be given to the uprisings IN the smaller
islands until the chief object of the
American campaign-the capture of the
rebel chief-has been accomplished.
The desire of the president and sec
retary is undoubtedly to have the
American forces move upon the rebel
chieftain from so many directions that
escape will be impossible, but whether
this VIII be practicable Will not be de-
termined until full information has
been secured as to the difficulties which
would have to be encountered in such
a movement. If one American army
could move upon Aguinaldo and his
men from Manila, another from the di-
rection of Lingayen bay and a third
from the direction of Baler he would
hardly be able to evade a decisive en-
gagenent or surrender.
Prof. Schurmans interviews since he
reached this country indicate plainly
that he believes the one great problem
which the United States has to solve in
the Philippines is in Luzon. If the Ia,
gals are brought under subsection the
other tribes are not likely to give the
United States much trouble. With the
fate of the Tagals before them they will
hesitate long before they will provoke
trouble with the United States on a
mere whim. They will, as a matter of
course, be dealt with reasonably by the
United States. and protiting by the ex-
perience of their neighbors, they will be
in a mood to listen to reason.
That the sovereignty of the United
States may be accepted throughout the
archipelago before congress meets,
President Mckinley and Secretary Root
are most anxious to expedite the set
tlement of the Luzon insurrection, and
the president. in the conference which
he is now holding with those best in
formed upon the situation in Luzon, is
merely preparing himself for the issu-
ance Of such instructions to Gen. Otis
as will insure an aggressive and re-
!entless campaign against the rebels
which can not fail to be crowned with
success.

Warrington. Aug. 24.-Secretary Root
returned to Washington from Plattsburg
last evening, and in speaking of the
Philippine policy said with emphasis:
Every mothers son in the twenty
three volunteer regiments will eat his
Christmas dinner at or near Manila.
noticed q statement in an evening pa
per to the effect that the last ten regi-
ments We're to be held in this country
as a reserve. That is not true, and
such an impression should not be per-
mitted to go out. Those troops will be
forwarded to the Philippines as fast as
possible.
The secretary arrived shortly before 8
o'clock and was Immediately joined by
Adjt Gen. Corbin. but he interrupted
their conference to receive half dozen
correspondents. When asked as to the
nature of the subjects discussed with
the president at Lake Champlain Secre-
tary Root said:
They We're such matters as ordinari-
1y would be considered at cabinet
meeting. They We're matters of detail
rather than broad policies. There We're
no startling innovations, and the press
will lose no important news by my fail
ure to tell you what they were."
One of the yellow journals of the east
announced yesterday morning that the
president and his secretary OF war had
discussed mysterious scheme for the
capture OF Aguinaldo, as though that
had not been one of the prime objects of
the late campaign north of Manila.
Secretary Root was much amused when
told of this story, and said:
THAT reminds me Of statement
saw in another paper yesterday. 1t read
like this: In the absence of all those
who took part in the conference it Is
impossible at this time to give an accu-
rate account of what took place 1t
struck me that was pretty frank con-
fession of ignorance for a modern news
paper to make" And the secretary
laughed heartily at the joke on the
newspaper man.
The secretary was asked whether
there was any truth in the rumors that
negotiations looking toward peace had
been renewed by the Filipinos. He an
swered:
IF there are such negotiations
know nothing OF them"
Secretary Root insisted there was no
important mystery concealed in his
visit to the president.
While he was reluctant to speak spe-
cifically Of the rumors that Gen. Otis
is to be relieved. he plainly intimated
to the newspaper men that they should
not give the rumors credence. Several
days ago he said positively that Gen.
Otis would not be displaced; that Gen.
Merritt would not be sent to Manila
and that responsibility in the Philip
pines would not be divided. He indicat-
ed that military operations would be
prosecuted with the greatest possible
vigor as soon as climatic conditions
would permit and he was especially de-
sirous that the impression should not 60
out that the government was in any
sense playing a blum on the enemy.
The secretary said he brought back
with him the presidents proclamation
directing the taking Of q census In
Cuba. He will forward It to Gen.
0soOke at Havana today.
NJ. Root says satisfactory progress ID

near the heart as the coat had several
bullet holes in it. A large crowd of
men and boys have been searching in
the nearby corn field this forenoon for

being made In the raising OF funds for
the relief OF Porto Rico. He has been
advised Of cash contributions OF about
$50, 900. besides large quantities OF sup
plies of various kinds.
Twelve dynamite guns are soon to be
shipped to Manila to throw earth
quakes" among the rebellious Filipinos.
The war department has already bor-
rowed dozen OF Colt rapid-fire guns
from the navy department and the
army will be given large number Of
this sort of weapons. The dynamite
guns are said to be the most destruc-
tive small caliber artillery in use and
the government will employ them on
the theory that the best way to shorten
the war is by increasing it's terrors for
the enemy.
The authorities intend to profit by the
Experiences of other nations that have
had similar wars in tropical Africa and
Asia. A special study is to be made of
their methods of organizing and man
aging light batteries operating among
mountains and jungles, and First Lieut..
Mervyn G. Buckley, of the Third Artil-
lery, has been selected for that duty.
The war department issued an order
yesterday directing Lieut.. Buckley to
proceed to Woolwich arsenal, Paris and
Amsterdam for the purpose of inspect
ing at those places the organization and
mounting of mountain guns and how
itzer batteries used in India and Africa
and in Madagascar, Java, Borneo and
Sumatra under conditions similar to
those In the Philippines. Thence he will
go to Manila to report to the command
ing general for assignment to duty.
This is but another proof of the de-
termination of the administration to
prosecute the war in the Philippines
with great vigor as soon as the dry sea-
son makes military operations possible
on an extensive scale.
1t is probable that all the ten volun-
teer regiments organized recently will
not reach Manila before the last of Oc-
tober, because the sea voyage is mat
ter of four or five weeks. The quarter
masters division. which is charged with
the duty of providing transports. made
the following statement yesterday:
THE following ships will be availa-
BILE to carry the first ten regiments and
recruits to Manila. getting them there
about the first of November: Pueblo,
Warren, Columbia, Charles Nelson,
Sherman Belgian King, Hancock,
Grant, Tacoma. Sheridan, Glenogle,
Pennsylvania, Valencia and Zealandia,
with probably two or three additional
chartered vessels.
The above will not interfere with
getting the last ten regiments to Manila
by the latter part of December. The
quartermaster's department has in ad-
dition to the above ships. for the pur-
pose of carrying the second ten regi-
ments, the following: The City of Para,
Tartar, Ohio. Newport, Indiana. Nor
gan City. Senator, City of sydney, St.
Paul, Puebla from San Francisco, and
the Thomas, Logan and Meade from
New York"
Each ship will be equipped with four
Isix-pounder rapid-fre guns to defend
itself against possible attack by Fill
Ipinos or oriental pirates.
