Much to Result.
ROOT Is NOT VERY SANGUINE.
The Rebels Proposed That General BE
4 Admitted Through Our Lines The Re-
quest Granted Also Offer ed to Send
In American Prisoners.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-Three men,
bers of the cabinet, alluding to General
Otis's dispatch regarding conference
with the insurgents, agreed, after the
meeting of the cabinet, during which
the dispatch was considered, in express
ing the opinion that too much signiti-
canoe should not be attached to Aguin-
aldo's proposal. Secretary Root himself
said that so many similar conferences i'll
the past had come to naught that he
doubted very much whether this one
meant anything toward the establish
ment OF peace and good order i'll the isl
ands.
The text OF the dispatch as made pub
tic by the war department. is as follows:
MANILA, Sept. lS.
Adjutant General Washington:
Mac Arthur reports from Angeles
visit of two insurgent officers with re-
quest for permission to send into our
lines American prisoners and to send to
Manila prominent insurgent general
officer for conference. The requested
interview granted and insurgent off
GERS at Angeles return north this morn
ing with Information. OTIS.
The protest of the Chinese govern
ment against General Otis order eX-
cluding the Chinese from the Philip
pines is said not to have come up at the
cabinet meeting.
The war department approved the ac-
ton of General Otis in refusing to III
low Spanish ships to go TO ports con-
trolled by the insurgents to take away
Spanish prisoners. These ships, how
ever, Will lie allowed to proceed TO such
ports under the escort of vessels OF the
United States. The transfer of the
Spanish prisoners to the ships will be
under the direction and control OF
United States officers The war depart.
ment will allow no communication be-
tween Aguinaldo and his agents ano
the Spaniards who may go to bring
away the Spanish prisoners.
While 10 names were mentioned in
the dispatch from Otis it is inferred
that included i'll the list of American
prisoners to whom the negotiations re-
Late is Lieutenant Gilmore and the 10
men of the Yorktown who were cap
tured by the insurgents on the east
coast OF Luzon, Major Rockefeller, who
was captured beyond tue American

Case at New Orleans.

WASHINGTON, Sept a0.-The yellow.
fever situation at ley West is regarded
as grave. Since the first case was re-
ported about three weeks ago the epi-
demic has been steadily growing until
there are about 400 cases. New cases
appeared at the rate Of about so a Gay,
buG the mortality is low. Fifty-four
cases and Two deaths were reported for
Sunday and Monday. Attendant Hall
OF the marine hospital staff developed
the disease aud he has been isolated.
As Key West is situated below the
frost line the epidemic will have to run
it's course. The marine hospital service
has been directing its efforts to con-
flung the epidemic to the island and
has been rewarded with signal success.
Only one infacted person is known
to have escaped and he was discovered
at Miami and isolated. He has since
recovered.
The treatment of the cases i'll Key
West is entirely under the supervision
of the Florida stare board of health.
The marine hospital service Is simply
enforcing quarantine regulations with
a view TO preventing the spread of the
disease.
One new case of fever was reported

Orleans.

A CHILD'S FANCY.

Explanation of What Sees.ss Preeo-
ciousness In Imaginative Children.
"An active, healthy imagination is
one of the happiest gifts child can
possess, is the theory advanced by
Florence Hull Winterburn, the well
known padiologist. in The Woman's
Home Companion.
''If we watch an intelligent child,
four or five years old, who believes him.
self unnoticed we will probably be as
tonished at the richness and fertility of
the fancy which can give life and color
to dull, commonplace things and weave
whole stories and dramas around the
simple toy that means nothing more to
us than what it plainly stands for. But
we will perceive that even his widest
romances found themselves upon many
facts, for free and frolicsome as imagi-
nation may appear, it is subject to its
laws. It deals with real things in
playful way. 1t embroiders, paints,
molds, but it must have its material,
its basis in actual life.
"What we call creative ability is
really nothing but the power to recon-
struct, perhaps to connect several sep
arate plans or patterns into a whole

The child is an artist who daubs on his
colors boldly, without any sense of the
absurdities he may commit, and SO he
often produces effects that surprise 9th
ers as well as himself. Many of the acts
that seem SO precocious because we cup
pose them TO be the outcome of well
considered plan are really happy acci-
dents, not devoid Of the merit of orig
inality, but neither to be overpraised as
work of genius. Childhood is one un-
broken succession of experimentings..''

PRELATES DIDN'T PROTEST.
Catholic Dignitar,es Consider Desecra-
tIOn of Philippine Churches Work
of Mere LawIess Persuns-

WASHINGTON. Sept. 90. = President
Mckinley recently received protest
against the alleged dissertation of Cath
olic church property in the Philippines,
submitted by an organization called the
Metropolitan Truth society.
The regular church authorities have
taken no action relative to the Philip
pines, as this has never been submitted
to their jurisdiction. Moreover, they
have observed with satisfaction that the
archbishop of Manila has co-operated
with the military administration, one
OF the latest evidences of this cooper
alton being the issuance of decree in
cluding the Catholic church holidays
among those to be observed in the pub
lie schools The reported dissertations
have been treated as the work of law
less individuals, having no countenance
with the commanding officers. III case
of all authoritative protest it would be
doubtless made through the archbishop
of Manila or through the apostolic dele
gate. No reports OF dissertations have
ever come from these sources.

would be to buy Aguinaldo. "Of
course it would go aginst the grain

"but if they could buy ten million
people, why stop at buying just one
individual? 1t is foolish!" Is Gar
