$4,000 A YEAR
Was Offered AguinaldO to Be
Good by the Commission.

New York. Sept. ia special to the
World from Ithaca. N. Y, says:
Your correspondent is able to say on
authority that the Schurman peace COM
mission offered every. possible inducement
short of absolute government to
Aguinaldo and his followers. AgUinaldO
was promised, as the price for the restOr-
alton of peace in the Tagalos tribe, d
bonus of more than $1,000 year while the
TaGalos remained peaceful. He was told
that he could choose men from his tribe
for the minor municipal offices.
The commission went so far as to prom
Use Aguinaldo the moral support Of the
United States government, If such We're
needed to make his leadership OF the Ia
galOs thoroughly secure.
With all these inducements, tempting as
they must have been, AguinaldO as the
recognized head of the inSurgent move
ment. declined to yield. He insisted upon
immediate self government and as his
insfstence was so firm as to make an
miSSiOnerS ceased negotiations
President Schurman was frank in tell
ing your correspondent a day or so ago
that he favored giving to the various
tribes the largest possible measure OF
home rule at the earliest moment. He
thought the several tribes could admins
ter their local affairs, elect their munich
pal officers, establish courts and penal
institutions, a judiciary, etc, but he did
to participate in the general government.
How could they govern the ISLANDS in
view of the heterOgen1ty and multiplicity
of the tribes ?" he asked.

NEW KIND OF QUARANTINE.
California to Bar Consumptives From
the State.

San Francisco, Cal, Sept. 15--Cali-
lorna may establish quarantine
against consumptiveS.
The state board of health today pass
ed the following resolution, introduced
by DR.. d. ID. Crowley:
Resolved, That the state board of
health considers the propriety of quar-
antining against human beings and do
nestle animals with tuberculosis, en-
tering the state.''
DR.. Crowley said: I'VE are morbidly
afraid of diphtheria, scarlet fever,
smallpox, cholera and yellow fever. We
quarantine these cases because they kill
so quickly, but the lingering tubercular
disease that eventually kills twice as
many as all these things, is permitted
to continue unchecked.
Patients, I think, ought not to attend
churches or theaters or general public
or social gatherings. or ought they oc-
cupy public conveyances without spe-
cial provision being made for them.
L may further say" continued DR..
Crowley, in answer to a question, that
do not believe that patients suffer-
ing with consumption should be per-
mitted to enter hotels without the
rooms being protected by the health Of
ficer of the community, acting in ac-
cOrdance with the general laws of the
state. 1 further believe in a state Sani-
tarium- This Sanitarium should be
away from any city from 1000 to 1000
feet above the sea level, where patients
could enjoy dry air and undergo scien-
tific treatment for tuberculosis.

IN TWO COFFINS.
Cuban Soldiers Badly Mixed In Prep
aratlon For Burial

Chicago, Sept Is. - Pigeonholed
among the records of the war depart
ment at Washington, it developed to-
day are documents which may eStab-
lish the lost identity of Private Ernest
Raltzer, of the First Illinois volun-
teers, who died in Cuban last Septem-
Der. and whose supposed remains are
legally buried twice in Graceland sem
etery. According to Sergeant Frederick
c. Walther company F, First Illinois,
who went to Washington to solve the
mystery if possible and who returned
today. this paper. which is part of the
report of the government commission
for retaining American dead of the
Spanish war, is said to indicate posi-
lively that portions of the corpse of
Ernest Baltzer are in each of the cask-
cts buried side by side in Graceland
under his name; that the head and
trunk of Private Baltzer occupies one
lar named Munger, whose remains have
been buried in the same trench near the
field hospital at Santiago. The second
coffin contains the remaining portions
of both bodies.
Thus it appears it was not the iden-
tity, but the remains themselves that
were confused when the bodies were
being brought here under contract by
a Chicago undertaken, the other by the
government commission six months
later Sergeant Walther also discover
ed that the report that there was a
third body buried in Arlington cemetry
under Baltzer's name, was in error.
Mrs. p. p. Baltzer, the mother of the
dead Illinois soldier, will, it is said, en-
ploy expert PSYCHOLOGISTS to exhume the
bodies and articulate the bones in the
two collins, in order to, if possible, re-
unite the portions of her sons skeleton.

prominent politician and president of
congress, to navigate by steam power
to Rio Coco, near the northeastern
boundary of Nicaragua and the largest
and longest river in the country. 1t is
DISTRACTED for the last IT'S miles of its
course by numerous large trees in its
channel that have been uprooted from
the banks and carried down and de-
posted in the bed of the stream by
heavy floods, thus impeding navigation
except by canoes. This river rises IN
northwestern Nicaragua, in the noun
tain system of Neuva SegOvia, among
undeveloped mines of gold, silver, cop
per and iron and disembogues near
Cape Gracias a Dios. 1t flows through
heavily timbered districts, rich in
metal.
The twenty-seven miles of cascades
and falls terminate about $50 miles
from the mouth of the river. 1t is nav
igable from the falls to the mouth, con-
tanning about four feet of water during
the dry season. All the rich placer gold
mines of Cape Gracias and Prinz Apul-
ka districts are south of the river be-
tween the falls and the Caribbean sea.
The opening of this river to steam nav
igation means the development of heav-
lily timbered districts of mahogany,
Spanish cedar, etc, and rich mineral
regions. The valleys are very fertile.

NOT TILL OCTOBER
Will War Begin, According to an
American View.

New York, Sept. ia dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
A cold fit has followed the hot fit over
war with the Transvaal. The accept
ance by President Kruger of the pro-
pOSals for peace, made with dignity and
tact in the Chamberlain dispatch is re-
garded as highly prob Die. The Beers
are simply required to carry out their
own offer of August 10. with the
suzerainty question left out and per-
mission to use English in the VOlksraad
added. Both the commission of inquiry
and the Cape Town conference ought
easily to be arranged since the Beers
have already accepted one and appar-
emily want the others. An interval of
pacific diplomacy may be confidently
expected unless there is a sudden
change of temper in Pretoria.
The best informed observers assert
that the real crisis will come when
guarantees for permanent peace are
discussed in the conference. The
natural inference is that the British
representatives will demand the reduc-
ton of the defensive works at Johannes
burg or at Pretoria since these menace
EngliShmen only and are not needed
for external defense from any foreign
quarter. Reduction or abandonment of
these Notifications will probably be
proposed as a reasonable guarantee of
peace which will be satisfactory to the
imperial government. The Beers will
not be likely to take the same view of
the matter They will consider it an
Jameson's raid and the real crisis in
the relations between the TransvaaI
and England will follow.
The safest judgment which can now be
formed IS that, barring accidents
impetuOuS BOer rush upon LaingS Mex,
a conference will be arranged and that
there will be no war until the END of DC
tober if at all Everything indicates that
the British government has determined to
operate on a large scale if it is compelled
to declare war and that it will not take
any chance. The appointment of Sir
George White is a clear indication that
the government will be prepared for an
emergency which may require a force of
forty thousand men.
The selection of the former commander
1n-ch1et in India can not be explained on
any other ground and he will be at the
not British troops enough in South Africa
at the present moment for operations on
the large scale which the government has
in mind if it is forced to settle the Trans
vaal question by war.
This is another eOgent ground for the
opinion that there viii be war until
the end of October, accidents being ex-
cluded. President Kruger'S prompt accep-
lance of the Cham berlain proposals. ba s.
ed on his own offers would be followed bv
questions at issue peaceably but military
preparations will not be relaxed, espec-
tally as there is likely to be a final crisis
over the reduction of the Transva al forts
peace. The ministers are evidently bent
upon having a final settlement which will
put an end to all controversies and pro-
mote the harm Onious development of the
resources of South Africa and they will
conduct the negotiations in a cOnciIiatorv
the background, equipped and ready for
operations on large scale.

GOLF AT BALTIMORE.
The Two Final Rounds In the Open
Championship Prove Exciting.


Baltimore, Sept. 15.-The two final
rounds in the open golf championship
began early today. With 20 or more
players within hailing distance of Will
urally considerable speculation before
the play started as to the outcome of
the event.
The first pair to drive off were Dav-
i'd Hunter and James FOULS The
spectators of the match were given an
exhibition of some of the finest driving
of the two days At least a dozen of
the players reached the $50 yard mark
while a number exceeded it. Gilbert
Nichols of Boston drove 275 yards but
the hole cost him five. Lawrence
Auchterlonie reached the 265 yard
mark. Ball of washington made $50
yards; Way 255 yards; Alex Smith 235
yards and Peter Walker 253 yards.
Alec Findlay had all the luck on the
first hole; for after his ball struck the
top of the bunker and dropped over he
holed out his third shot in a fine so
yard approach.
Willie Smith also made the first hole
in 8, which at once made him warm
favorite as his total last night was but
one stroke behind the leader. Ander-
son, however, caught the crowd and
gallery of so started behind him and
Herd. Anderson was short on his
drive but his second cleared the bum
ker and he ho1ed out in the regulation
four strokes. Herd on the other hand
put his second shot into the bunker and
while he reached the green on his
fourth he took three more to hole out,
the hole costing him Z which will nigh
ruin his chances for any purse money.
Young Campbell slicked his first ball,
was short on his second rolled up with
in three yards of the hole in three, miss
ed his put and holed out in five.
Alec Smith made the hole in good
clean four and a majority of the play
erS did likewise.

HOW FUNSTON FOUGHT.
Returned Soldier Who Saw the Gen
eraI Wounded

Kansas City, Sept 15--W. W. Taylor,
a private in company c of the Twen-
tieth Kansas volunteers, has arrived
from the Philippines, and is visiting
his brother-in-law. Henry Irwin, of
Kansas City. Kan. Taylor was dis
charged for disabilities. The tips of his
two middle fingers on the left hand
were shot off by a Filipino Mauser. The
disability, however, for which he was
discharged, was fever.
I was within six feet of Colonel
Funston when he was hot in the hand, -
SAID Taylor yesterday. The ball plOW-
ed itself through the inside across the
base of the fingers. The blood spurted
like a fountain Funston did not know
how badly he was hurt. He did not
seem to care. 1t made him mad. That
- black rebel got pretty close to me-
said he. Never mind, we will get him
