Every man and woman on the place made
desperate efforts to save the horses and
farming implements, The barn was burned
and the house caught fire and a small boy
and girl upstairs sleeping would have been
smothered had they not been rescued by an

of the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-ffth in
fantry, the department is naugurating a
system which it hopes at an early date to
apply to arl regiments on foreign service.
That is. to have two battalions abroad, fully
manned and ofticered. with home battalion
to which all those disabled by foreign serv-
ice may be sent to recuperate after active
service in the tropics. The invalided and
convalescing thus have definite home sta
tion to which they may at once be sent, and
the foreign hospital service and the regi-
ments in the field be relieved of embarrass-
ment Men absent on furlough then have a
definite location to which they can report
and such of the officers as recover suffi-
ciently to perform light duty will be able
to render valuable service in putting re-
cruits destined for their regiments in shape.

INSIST ON HAVING WEAPONS
CubRDs Break into SItssteaousc TO se-
cure Arms with Which to Quail
ify for Gratuity.

GUANAJAY, Del Rio, Cuba, June 13.-
Lieutenant Colonel Bisbee arrived here this
afternoon and began paying the Cuban
troops, a large number of whom he found
waiting They received their shares of the
American gratuity with enthusiasm, SEEM
ing to be very grateful of an opportunity
to return to their homes with funds enough
to meet immediate expenses.
Colonel Bisbee strictly enforces his rule
to make no payments except to applicants
who bring arms or certificates that they
have delivered arms to the local authorities.
Thus far All weapons have been delivered to
the mayor of Guanajay. Here, as elsewhere,
applicants have arrived, many of them with
arms, whose names do not show on the
list and there are also applicants who have
undoubtedly seen service, but don't receive
payment because they don't come within
Colonel Bisbee's rule.
Last night, before Colonel Bisbee's ar
rival, large party, knowing that quantity
OF arms were stored at Callao, decided to
secure these weapons in order to enable
them to collect their shares today.
Shortly after midnight the policemen who
were guarding the storehouse we're surprsrd
by strong party who attacked the guard.
The latter fired and retained their position
until their ammunition was exhausted when
the Cubans, who were armed with sticks.
compelled them to submit. All the members
of the party helped themselves generously
to the arms.
General opinion here Is that the polce
really connived in the affair." as there were
no casualties on either side and that their
resistance was merely for effect.

COURSE OF REBELS A SURPRISE
Latest Movement Construed to Show
Either Strength or Desnnir

WASHINGTON, June 13.--The news of the
heavy fighting almost in sight of Manila
and adjacent to the navy yard at Cavte,
where Admiral Dewey landed his forces
more than year ago, was received with
Intense interest here. 1t is evident to the
officials that the insurgents are either far
stronger than has been realized or that
they have come to the end of their re-
sources and are making this last struggle
in sheer desperation. Otherwise it is hard
to understand why they should come down
to the shore of the bay and fight the war
ships.
Adjutant General Corbin steadfastly main
tanned his confidence in the success of the
present movement in Luzon and said today
that he felt encouraged at the advices that
came from Otis. He had particularly in
view General Otis statement that Lawton
had driven the enemy with heavy loss and
that the latter could not be reassembled in
force.
There is great concern exhibited over the
changes that confront the American troops
in this campaign and there was a renewal
OF the inquiry as to whether or not there
is TO be further reinforcement OF the troops
or another call for volunteers. The state
ment was made in reply that Otis has, or
soon will have, all the men he estimated
was needed and the opinion of General Otis
in these matters, it can be said, is to de-
termine the policy of the president in the
matter.

GRANT AND GLOBE SHUT DOWN
Eight-Hour Schedule Produces Sc
rious Falling Out in smcltcrs
of Colorado.

DENVER, Colo, June 13.--The Omaha
and Grant smelter and the Globe in Denver
and the smelters in the trust at Pueblo and
Leadville will probably be blown out by to-
morrow night at 12 o'cock on account of the
Inauguration of the eight-hour law in Colo
RADIO and the failure of the trust managers
to agree with the employees in the matter
of hours and wages. The managers today
ordered the superintendent to elbow OUT
the furnaces.
BY the closing of the Grant and Globe
smelters in this city about LOO men will
be out of employment. Neother the man
agement nor the men anticipate that the
closing will be long. The union has as
surances from Mr.. Grant that he will not
operate his plant with imported men.
The Boston and Colorado plant in this
city is not affected so far.
The trust smelters outside of Denver that
will be closed are the Arkansas Valley, BIZ
metallic and Argentine at Leadville the
Colorado and Eilers at Pueblo. the Omaha
and Grant at Durango and the Walsh at
Siverton. These plants employ several
thousand men.
1t is not yet known whether the large
Guggenheim smelter at Pueblo, which is
outside the trust, will close or not The
Guggenheims have -fered somewhat
higher scale that the trust, but not as high
as the union demands.
1t is estimated that the shutting down OF
the trust smelters, if long continued, will
necessitate the closing of rs per cent of the
mines in Colorado and will have disastrous
effect upon all industries in the state.
The smelter managers propose to bring a
test case before the supreme court as soon
as possible to determine the constitution
ality Of the eight hour law.

before the Wichita public He was tried
for the murder Of 4 colored man in Okla
homa City and was sentenced to death.
His exciting escape from the Wichita jail

vailed upon President Mckinley TO par
