FORAKER ON CUBA.
Thinks the Time Has Come to Set Up
an Independent Government

Washington, Aug. 7-Senator Foraker
arrived in Washington today. The SEN
ator, when seen, said he was much in
terested in developing what the ad-
ministratiOn's policy was to be toward
Cuba. He did not want to embarrass
the administration in any way, he said,
if it had a policy, but he would like to
know what the policy was. He was
at a loss to understand why United
States troops were still being kept in
Cuba. All congress had authorized was
that they should be sent there to ex-
pei the Spaniards, and when that had
been done and quiet restored the Gu
bans were to be allowed to form their
own governments. A year had now
passed since the Spanish capitulation.
and quiet had been long ago restored.
The senator said q good indication Of
the peaceful state of affairs in Cuba
was furnished In a letter which he had
just received from a prominent Ameri-
can officer IN. Cuba. In this letter the
officer stated that there was more
need, he judged, for United States
troops in Ohio and Illinois just now
than there was In Cuba.
Senator Foraker said Republicans in
Ohio were united, and he looked for
big Republican victory in his state this
fall.

STOLEHIs WIFE.
Taken From Her Husbands Presence
at Rifles Muzzle-Abductor
Killed.

Hoxie, Ark, Aug. News was
brought here this morning by Mr.. H., A.
Culver, general manager of the Kansas
City and Southern Lumber company of
Sedgwick. to the effect that two of his
employees had a difficulty yesterday, re-
sulting in the fatal shooting of one of
them.
1t seems that Tillman Watkins has
long been an admirer of Martin Orl's
wife and in his intense desire to obtain
possession of her, took his Winchester
and unawares dropped into OrPs house
and ordered Mrs. Orl out at the point of
the gun, marching her along the road
towards his own home.
When about 100 yards from her home,
and stiA in hearing of her husband,
Watkins cut a hickory switch and beat
her with it. Her cries of pain resounded
through the woods and fell upon her
husbands ears. Though intimidated,
Orl swore an 9th of vengeance as he
saw Watkins driving his wife before
him to his own home not more than a
mile distant.
on arriving there, Watkins went to
the mill to resume his work for the day.
It was not long before Orl called the
superintendent out and informed him
that he would not work that day and
left.
Mr.. Culver was informed that trouble
was brewing between the two men, but
not knowing how serious the cause was,
lAlOuSnt A4llle Oh the matter until ne
heard the crack of four revolver shots
down the railroad track akbout p. m.
1t soon developed that OrI had, dur
ing the afternoon. armed himself with
a revolver and walked down the track
waiting for the mill to close for the
evening and the coming of Watkins.
He quickly espied the form of his in
tended victim as the hands separated
for their respective homes. He waited
until he got off the mill company s
premises and on the right-of-way of
the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Mem
phis road, then took deliberate aim and
fired the fatal shot, which took effect
in Watkins heart. He'then ran to the
PROSTATE form of the dead man and
placed the pistol to his head and fired
two more shots, exclaiming:
so perish all libertines and destroy
ers Of happy homes.P
The body was removed for attention
and burial. Orl, up to last reports, had
not been arrested, but is ready to sur
| render when wanted. He has the sym
pathy Of all who know the causes which
| led to the tragedy. He is regarded as
a very peaceable and quiet man by
| those who are acquainted with him.
Mrs. Orl is prpostrated with grief.

PLEBS QUIT WEST POINT.
Several Resign on Account Of Hazing
and Others May Do So.

West Point, N. z, Aug. More
than a half dozen plebs who entered
the military academy in June have re-
signed on account of hazing. Several
others are thinking seriously Of sever
ing their connection with the academy
for the same reason.
When the yearlings were so closely
watched that it was impossible to
devil" a pIeb they concocted a scheme
to have the authorities help. Blank
cartridges were obtained, and the plebs
received a hint to fire them Off in the
middle of the night. This programme
was carried out. The tactical officers,
who rushed half dressed from their
tents. ordered an inspection Of arms
instantly. The plebs had no time to
clean their guns. Forty pOwder-stained
rifles belonging to plebs were found,
but no pleb would tell who gave the
order to fire. Col Mills determined to
punish the fourth-cIassmen, and forty
plebs will walk punishment tours dur
ing their recreation hours Wednesdays
and Saturdays until October 1. The
plebs have begun to challenge their tor
mentors to f1stic combats, and several
stiff fights have taken place. The pleb5
were done up IN every instance, and
the post surgeon has had numerous
wounds and Commissions to dress.

PRAISE FOR GENERAL Otis
DR.. James W. Ingham on the Philip
pine Campaign.

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. DIR. James
V. Ingham, who, with V. Hartman
Kuhn and 3. F. CIude, recently return
ed from a tour of the world. during
which visit was paid to the Island of
Luzon, today talked about his observa-
lions of the Philippine campaign. DR..
Ingham spent five days around Manila
from March 10 to "a. The party visited
Gen. Lawton's headquarters, and had
talks with LaWton, Wheaton, King and
staff and line officers. They also met
Gen Otis and the American advisory
commission Dr. Ingham said:
THE five days at Manila were pretty
well devoted to an inquiry into the con-
ditiOns existing in the island so far as
newcomers could understand and APP
preciate them The failure to compre-
bend the situation at Manila has led to
very unfair criticism of Gen. Otis, and
has caused general misrepresentation
of the results of the campaign.
From what 1 observed of the pre-
vailing conditions, I believe the results
achieved by Gen. Otis thus far are fully
commensurate with the men and forces
lief among the military men that dur
ing the rainy season active operations
would have to cease entirely. Gen Otis
has certainly accom- liShed some re-
markable feats in the capture of linus,
Las Pinas and other places at this sea-
SON. 1t has been the policy of the
American commander to get behind the
insurrection. Instead of shooting every
native on sight, as some people think
should be done, Gen. Otis has adopted
a policy Of firm kindness. If the ma
tives showed fight, they got all they
wanted If they showed a disposition
to be friendly, they were treated kind
ly and even furnished with food. In
this way the Americans have gained
the confidence of the natives, and only
a fear Of Aguinaldo keeps them from
siding with the American cause
4 am not military critic. nor am I
versed in military matters, but, so far
as I can see, the Philippine campaign
has been well and ably conducted"

BRYAN'S EXPLANATION.
His Reasons For Defending GoebeYa
Nomination.

Louisville, KY, Aug. ALLEN R. Car
ter, a prominent antf-Goebel Democrat,
today received a long letter from Will
lam J. Bryan, in which the latter ex-
plains why he wrote the letter from
Chicago to Urii Woodson of Greensboro,
KY, ten days ago, defending William
Goebel, the nominee for governor Of the
recent Louisville convention, and urg-
ing the Democrats of Kentucky to sup
port Goebel.
Mr.. Bryan says he had prior to that
time received hundreds of messages and
communications from Democrats in
Kentucky charging that GOebel was not
a friend of his or a friend to the cause
of silver, but was at heart a gold bug
and was in a conspiracy to destroy him
(Bryan) next year. The NebraSkan
adds that these charges were openly
made, and that he, after considering the
matter, felt that he, by remaining silent,
would be misunderstood, as many would
believe that he acquiesced in the allega-
lions made against GoebeI, when he did
not do so.
Mr.. Bryan says that he had hoped
the differences in the Democratic ranks
in this state would be healed and that
the people would get together and save
the party in this state this fall.
He expressed fear that his old friend,
ex-senator J. c. S. Blackburn, would
be defeated in his race to return to the
United States senate. Mr. Bryan did
not say anything about his promise to
come to Kentucky to take the stump
for the Goebel ticket. The Goebelites
claim that he will come, while the bolt
ers are cOntending that he has too much
sense to do this, for the reason that it
would almost certainly cause him to
lose the Kentucky delegation in the next
national convention.
There is already much dissatisfaction
over his Chicago letter, and were he to
come here he would simply be adding
fuel to the flame.
