Heavy Loss of Officers Embarrassing to

Heavy Loss of Officers Embarrassing to
to British.
LONDON, Oct. 30.-The large number
of British officers killed in the battles
which have already taken place in Ma
tai has brought out strenuous protests
from many quarters against the ancient
custom of British officers in refusing to
take cover when under fire. From fig
ures at Glencoe, it is apparent that one
out of every four men killed was an Of
6cer, whereas, the organization exists
upon the principle that to every 90 men
there is one officer. 1t is evident that
if the same ratio of mortality is kept
up, the British forces will become Sc
riously under-offcered. Among the en-
listed men at Glencoe, the proportion
of killed to wounded was 80 to 1856,
while 10 officers were killed to % off
GERS wounded. The difference in the
percentage leads to the conclusion that
many of the officers were hit more than
once and kept on leading their men
after the first wound. Emperor Will
ficers' refusal to take cover is now fire.
quently quoted. The feeling in the army
tself is that though the regulations do
not say the officers must not lie down,
it is such an old established principle
that it would take brave man to in
augurate a change, and the adage of
the British soldier follow wherever an
officer leads" is held to be still intensely
true, for although the officers believe
the personnel of the army is as good as
ever, it has been the history of Great
Britain that they at the same time
maintain that Tommy Atkins" needs
more leading than any man in the
world. so the spilling of Great Britain's
best blood is likely to continue for the
present

FOUND DUN DUN BULLETS.
British Said to Have Left Them While

British Said to Have Left Them While
Retreating From Dundee.
LONDON, Oct. 30.-A story comes from
Cape Town to the effect that several
cases of dunn dunn bullets were found
by the Beers at Dundee, which the
British abandoned in their fight. Some
of the Beers wanted to use the dunn
dums in the next battle, but President
Kruger vetoed this, saying: mo, it
must not be so. Whatever the British
are, we Beers are at least human"
The bullets were then destroyed.
Further details from Buluwayo,
show that an armored train from
there on Oct. 81, sent toward Mafeking
under command of Lieutenant Llew-
ellyn, got within seven miles of Lobatsi
when the British found the railroad
badly damaged. The Beers were visible
on hills in the vicinity. Lobatsi had
been looted. The train encountered the
Beers three miles south of Crocodile
Pools, and the British opened fire with
their Maxims and drove the Beers back
to the hills, whence they had advanced.
Besides eight men killed the Beers lost
eleven horses.

quarantine in her case for few days
diphtheretic germs still being found in
her throat, as was proved by a culture
taken from her throat and sent to the
meteorological department in st. Paul,
1t should only be necessary to call to
mind the epidemic which occurred in
Mankato twenty years ago to cause one
to appreciate the Importance of the en-
forcing of the quarantine law, but a
good many people are slow to realize
the slightest case of diphtheria is as
much to be dreaded by those exposed as
is the most maglignant case, as the
strength of the culture grows as it is
passed from one to another. The quar-
antine is enforced only upon examina-
tion made by the state as to the pres
ence or absence of the germs, and any
person, be he physician or not, who
condemns or questions the quarantine
law may be unconsciously aiding in the
spread Of the disease by bringing
about relaxation of the rigor of the
quarantine. It is better that little
hardship be suffered by few than that
many be endangered. There is no
need for diphtheria epidemic or even
scare in Mankato if every case is
promptly and relentlessly quarantined
until all possibility of infection has
passed. The real danger lies in the
laxity and indifference.

Life and Property Secure I'm
der the American Military
Authorities.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-General Fitz-
hugh Lee in an interview says that
the people of Cuba are steadily improv-
ing under the existing proteetorate of
the United States and are slowly but
surely rebuilding their war-wasted
homes and repairing their crippled for
tunes. Life and property are secure in
Cuba, owing largely, he said, to the
salutary restraint exercised by Amer
lean military authority. He thinks the
time not ripe yet, however, for purely
Cuban government.
"Cuba," said General Lee, sis i'm
proving. The Cubans are tractable and
quiet and the revolution has given them
self-respect and self-reliance. Their
impulses are generally in the right di-
rection, but of course
Both in Theory and Practice
of self-government they are wholly
without experience. There is among
certain Cubans deep-seated prejudice
against some men whom they think OPP
pressed Cubans under Spanish rule, and
if given free rein they would make
short work of them. The United States
government is pledged to grant indie
pendence to Cuba after the island has
been pacified and I believe that promise
should be fulfilled as swiftly as we can
in reason and justice. The industrial
situation is improving and money is
gradually going into Cuba, but nothing
like it would if investors were sure
that property would remain safe for
years to come and be protected by a
government strong enough to enforce
law and order"

RAISED A BILL.
A Young Stranger Wanted at
Garden City.
An Alleged Ten Dollar Bill Turns Out to
be Worth Only One
Dollar.

A young man whose name is not
known is wanted by the officials of
Blue Earth county. Saturday night a
young stranger, about twenty years of
age, stepped into business place at
GardenCity and presented what purpo r
ed to be $40 bill to be changed
and received in return $40 in
change. AS soon as the young man
had received the money he bolted, and
started out of town on the run. The
fact that the bill had been raised was
soon afterwards discovered, and Sheriff
Gerlich and Chief Brules were notified.
The note was passed between six and
seven o'clock, and the young man star
ed out in the direction of Mankato, and
it was thought that he was coming
here. The officers went out on the
Garden City road to mee5 him, but
were disappointed, as he did not put in
an appearance.
Sunday the sheriff and deputy
sheriff went to Garden City and search
ed the neighborhood, but without sue
cess, and the search was renewed this
morning. The officers started to fol-
low up a clue which they thought
would lead to the finding of the young
man.
A man answering the description of
the party who is wanted at Garden
City has been seen in Ceresco. and dep.
uty Sheriff Stevens went there today.
The man upon whom the bill was pass
ed was Thos. Goddell, a blacksmith. The
stranger wanted change for the bill, and

LOCATION OF CANNON.

The suggestion has been made that
the Spanish cannon be mounted on the
court house square instead of Sibley
park, as proposed some time ago. Peo-
pie from the country seldom visit the
park, while the court house square is in
the center of the city. 1t is close to the
schools, and if the cannon was placed
there it would be valuable object les
son. The cannon is a small one and
would not take up much room on the
court house square. and could be cared

SEVERAL NEW CASES.
People Having Sore Threats Should
Summon Physicians.

Several new cases of diphtheria have
developed in the city during the last
day or two, and one death has occurred,
Two residences near the Union school
are quarantined on account of the
disease, two more pupils attending that
school coming down with it, making
six in ALL Two cases have occurred
among the scholars attending the Ger
man Catholic school, and there are two
or three other scattered cases. The
health officer hopes to check the spread
of the disease by rigid quarantine of
the houses.
Because the disease is of mild ma.
ture up to the present time, some peo-
pie have expressed the belief that it is
nothing more than sore throat Where
this erroneous belief has been acted up
on other people have been exposed and
cases contracted. AS long as the
disease is in the city sore Threats
should not be neglected, but competent
physicians should be summoned at once
in order that the nature of the ailment
may be fully determined.

ing, and no fear of further spread of
the disease among the pupils is felt by

South Can Produce.
CHARLOTTE, N. c., Oct. 30.-In adj
dressing large gathering OF Southern
cotton manufacturers and planters at
Charlotte, John Barrett, late United
States minister to Siam, said:
"The South has vital interest in the
development and control of Asiatic
markets by America. The time will
soon come when the far East will con-
sumo every surplus pound of cotton,
manufactured or raw, that the South
can produce, making her independent
of the market OF. England and Europe.
To accomplish this result four impor-
tant conditions are necessary, which in
themselves are independent. First, the
construction of transisthmian canal;
second, the laying of transpacific
cable; third, the protection of our mar
kets in China according to treaty rights,
and fourth, the permanent control of
the Philippines"

was that the commission men would be

own goods. They say half their trade
takes that form now and it is not worth
