Col. Alfred S. Fro.t of the South
Dakota regiment liz a'lettcr publish

which Warne referred to Frost as
a ''low contemplate cur, looking
only to his onw interests; that he
would gladly sacrifice every man in
the regiment for a few dollars in his
own pocket, or a little glory for
himself, and that he has no interest
in the men, except to use them fol
his own selfish advancement"
Whether or not Colonel Frost and
DR.. Warne will continue with the
regiment to San Francisco or return
to Manila, is not indicated by the
cablegram. In any event, is APP.
pears that Warne will be court.

As King Dooley" Sees It.

London, August 2O.-The Naples
correspondent of the Daily News
telegraphs the substance of an inter-
view he had with Admiral Dewey
there during the admiral's recent
visit.
Admiral Dewey said the Philippine
question would shortly be solved.
In his judgment the inhabitants
were capable of self-government and
the only way to settle the insurrec-
ton and to insure prosperity was
to console it to them.
He declared chat he was never in
favor of violence toward the Fill
plnos and remarked that after
autonomy had been conceded an
nexation might be..talked of.
When asked whether a conflict
between Germany and the United
States yer the Philippines were
possible, Admiral Dewey replied,
according 10 the correspondent:
TT is impossible to forsee the un-
foreseeable."

Chadron, Neo., Aug. 22.-Thomas
Ryan, a prominent cattlcman, was
shot and instantly killed by Frank
Coil, a young sheepman, fifteen
miles southeast Of this city yester-
day. The murderer is the son Of
Frank J. Coil, who was once a
prominent character in the business
and political circles of Burt county,
Nebraska.
This disastrous affair is the direct
result Of a fcud that has always
existed between the cattlcmen, who
claim priority of right 10 grazing
lands, and the sheepmen, who have
insisted that they yer equally en-
titled to the use of the land for the
grazing of their sheep.
From reports coming in from the
scene of the murder it is learned
that Ryan was the aggrcssor and
insisted that young Coil move his
sheep from where they were then
grazing. This Coil refused to do.
Hot words were passed when sud.
denly Coil drew a >ix-shooter, took
deliberate aim and fred, killing
Ryan almost Instantly. Friends OF
Ryan at ice notified the coroner.

The dispatches assert that Colonel

at Mafeking, is aware that Pretoria has
given General Cronje orders to stay his
hand as already there is quite enough
to employ the Beers in Natal.
According to later account of the

amounted to 1000 men and about noon
another army, almost as large, under
