KILLED A WILDCAT.
Exciting Hunting in Blue Earth County
Yet.

1t was supposed that all dangerous
wild animals, save an occasional timber
wolf, had been killed off in this county,
and that it was as safe for a child to
walk along country road as city or
village street But Blue Earth county
must again take its place among the
sections where big game exist and
where hunters can find sport that con
tains the spice of danger
Yesterday Joe Reurup Jr., was out
near st. Clair with his hounds and some
friends When two miles this side of
st, Clair, the hounds struck peculiar
trail, and soon had bobcat freed.
When the hunters arrived on the scene,
the bob jumped from the top of the
tree to the ground, distance of forty
feet, lighting easily, and ran to another
tree which it scaled The jump and
run were repeated, but Joe Kruse, who
liver near st. Clair, got the range and
pumped piece of lead through the
cats shoulders The animal fell but
caught lower limb, aud Mr.. Kruse
put another shot through its hips, which
laid it on the ground, and the dogs fin
ished the job.
The bobcat was killed on Peter Nc
Governs farm, and was brought to the
city today by Mr.. Kruse and offered for
sale. 1t weighs 49, pounds and meas
ures 36 inches in length. 1t is vicious
appearing animal and had lots of fight
in him. His presence in the neighbor-
hood had not been suspected, and he
may have been late arrival

FORCE ISSUES
Otls Reported to Have Cabled His
Opinion That a Crisis Is
at Hand.
insurgents Believed to Be About
to Force an Issue at
Manila,
The Result of Which Cannot at
the Present Time Be
FOreseen.
Secretary Of Agoncillo Leaves
Papers at the State De-
partment.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Senor Lopez,
secretary to Agoncillo. the Washington
representative Of Aguinaldo. called at
the state department and lodged with
the chief clerk communication, which,
according to the common expectation,
marked the critical stage in the Filipino
situation. This is the third attempt
made by the Filipino representative to
secure official recognition from the
United States government. Secretary
Hay. at the time the communication
was presented, was attending meeting
Of the cabinet at the White House. 50
tha, all Chief Clerk Michael could do
under the circumstances was to receive
the paper as he would any other handed
in to him.
The advices from Manila which have
reached the war department are far
from reassuring. 1t is understood that
General Otis reports an expectation on
his part that the insurgents are about
10 force an issue. and if this should be
so the result cannot be foreseen. Manila
itself. and not Iloilo. as might at first be
suspected. is regarded as the danger
point just now.
MADRID, Jan. pa dispatch from
Hong Kong 70 The Reforma Of this city
says letter received from the Philip
pine islands. under date Of Jan. 90 an
| nounced that rupture between the Fill
ipinos and the Americans is an accom-
! plished fact and that the lives of the
Spaniards in the archipelago are en-.
uangered.
CHICAGO. Jan. ga special to The
Tribune from Washington. says: The
government has been notified that
Aguinaldo has taken decisive step and
publicly proclaimed the republic of the
Philippines.
The ceremony took place at Malolos.
and was witnessed by the members OF
his cabinet.
This news comes from Manila. where
the tidings Of Aguinaldo's proceedings
were received with public demonstra-
| tions of mild sort.
All is not plain sailing for the insur-
! gents. as it is said the rival authorities
at Cebu are fighting.
The trouble has not yet reached an
acute state. but the safety of the town
and surrounding country is in danger.
The northern provinces have recently
given indications that they are not in
accord with Aguinaldo. and should his
proclamation lead to hostilities with the
Americans. he may have revolution n
we'll as war Of conquest on his hands
Another serious feature. according t
dispatches. is that the interior Of Luxor
is in ferment. Native officers have
been murdered and no effort made t.
punish the criminals.

during that talk Of love and marriage, for

a young lady.
He seemed to speak from some far-off post
of vantage, as if he had no interest in the
topic as far as he concerned.
He seemed to like might

me, but no more; there subtle shade
of love or filtration in his manner, and I miss
it all the more since 50 many other men l

And yet a thrill of joy that is almost a pain
