New York, Aug. DIR. Laureans Vii

VINO IS at present in New York, when
asked this morning through his inter

South American countries We're about
TO form an offensive and defensive al
lance against the United States on ac-
count of the imperial policy" replied
that he had not heard of it, but thought
that such an alliance ought to be made.
Do the South American nations fear
the United States2"
The eX-president shrugged his shoul-
ders and opened and shut his hands
rapidly-opened them wide as if he
were grasping continents, and then said
something in Spanish.
Mr. Villanuova thinks said the in

CAUSE OF THE UPRISING.
Mexicans Are Encroaching Upon the
Lands of Indians.

st. Louis. Aug. Nv. w. Marshall,
business man of this city. who is well
acquainted with the Yaqui River valley
in Mexico, and who has just returned
from that region, gives some interest
ing information respecting the situation
there. He says the Indians live on
land granted them by the Mexican gov
eminent at the close of the ten years
war in 1897. These lands, he states, are
constantly being encroached upon by
MeXicans, and this, in connection with
the excitement aroused by vigorous
dancing, which was going on when he
left there, has led TO the outbreak.
There are five military posts in the
lower valley, which were garrisoned by
about 1.500 troops when Mr.. Marshall
was there two weeks ago. Quite a
number of Americans live in two of
these towns, but Mr.. Marshall does not
think they will be harmed, as the In
dams are very friendly TO Americans.
Fully $500 Indians are on the war
path, and as they are splendid fighters
and well armed. Mr.. Marshall says the
present Mexican force in their country
is no match for them. Reinforcements
are on the way there. however. and a
battery and some sixty cases of am
munition are said 10 have passed
through FL Paso en- route to the scene
of trouble within the past three days
The reported fight is said to have oc-
CURED last Friday, and the Indians
were defeated. The ]. F.. Remly killed
in the fight was formerly agent for the
Wells-Fargo Express company at Her
mosillo. Mexico. His family live in
Missouri

CUT IN TWO BY GUNBoAT.
The Dolphin Crashes Into a Ferry
Boat at New York.

New York, Aug. IA collision oc-
eurred this morning between the ferry
boat New York of the Williamsburg
line and the United States gunboat
Dolphin. The bow of the gunboat cut
through the ferry boat into the engine
room. breaking the main shaft and
damaging the machinery. The gun
boats bow was bent and several feet
of the rail torn away.
The New York was in the center of
the river when the Dolphin, which was
coming up stream, signaled that she
would cross her bows. The New York 5
engines were stopped, but the strong
current carried her directly in the path
of the Dolphin, and the gunboat's bow
struck the ferry boat just ahead of the
paddle box. The ferry boat with the
sid Of tugs. reached the slip at Broad
way, Williamsburg. Secretary of the
Navy Long was aboard the Dolphin.
That the injuries to the Dolphin were
trifiing was evidenced by the fact that
she continued on her way up the river
and passed City island a. $40 a. m.

FROM ENGINEER TO ADMIRAL
THE RAPID ADVANCEMENT WON
BY JAMES ENTWISTLE.
The Man Who Admiral Dewey Says
Helped Him Sink the Spanish
Fleet.

New York, Aug. From engineer to
rear admiral, is the advancement won
by James Entwistle one of the heroes
of Manila bay. Entwistle was in the
navy during the civil war, and has
served Uncle Sam on the seas ever
sinee. When war was declared with
Spain he had risen to be fleet engineer
with Admiral Dewey's squadron. He
was on the Olympia, at the admiral's
side during the battle. and his prompt
itude was such that he was compli-
mented afterward by Dewey. The great
commander declared, too. that the
faultless condition of the machinery
throughout the fleet and the excellent
management of Entwistle were largely
responsible for the wiping out of the
Spaniards.
Admiral Dewey Furthermore referred
in a very complimentary manner to En-
twistle in a speech which he made in
Austria He must have spoken at head
quarters as well, for ii was not long
after the great battle that a commits
sion as captain arrived for Entwistle.
Captain Entwistle was near the age
limit, and was sent to his home in Pat
erson, n. j., with the expectation of
being retired He is spending the sum-
mer at Lake George, and received no
information of action in his case until
few days ago. Then he had letter
from Acting Secretary Allen. in the
navy department. informing him Of his
retirement under the provisions of the
personnel bill. The letter also Informed
Captain Entwistle that he would have
hereafter the rank and three-quarters
of the sea pay of a rear admiral.
Admiral Entwistle will finish the
summer at the lake, and thinks that
he may afterward be assigned to shore
duty. He has just received fine medal
of the sort ordered by congress for. all
the heroes of Manila. ~.

A WORD OF CAUTION.

The old saying that " a man, who is
naked can't give away his shirt" is only
another way of saying that you can't
give what you haven't got The man
can't give ''free medical advice" or any
other kind of medical advice who hasn't
got medical education and certificate
to the fact, in the form of a diploma.
And in this particular a woman has no
more privilege than man. She can't
give medical advice without medical edu-
cation and medical knowledge.
The offer of free medical advice made
BY Dr. Pierce, chief consulting physician
to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute. Buffalo, N V, has been initiated
BY so many who without any medical
qualifications claim to give medical
advice that word of caution is neces-
sary.
Don't write for medical advice to any
one, man or woman, who is not ply
stefan. If they are physicians they will
take the title of physicians or doctors so
that you may recognize them. If they
don't claim that title it is because they
dare not, for fear of the law.
Do not forget that there is Just as
much difference in doctors as in artists.
Every little town has its artist who draws
and paints But these artists gener-
ally paint copies of the works of great
artists like SIillet. There was only one
Millet
There is only one Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, such as DR.. Pierce
presides over Thousands of women
come or write to DR.. Pierce who have
found no help at the hands of doctors of
lesser skill and narrower experience.
ANY sick or ailing woman, suffering
from the distressing forms of disease
peculiar to women, is invited to con-
suit DR.. Pierce, by letter, free. Such con-
situations are absolutely private. Each
letter is treated as a sacred confidence,
and each answer is sent in a plain en-
velope, bearing no printing upon it.
In this way offensive questions and
repulsive examinations may be avoided.
Address Dr.. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, n. Y.

No trace of them living or dead could

Now word comes from the war de-

in the hands of the insurgents. Captain
Poorman is reluctant to say anything
further in regard to the matter, as his
information is somewhat indefinite, and
may, after all, lead to nothing.

SHELTERS TO STAY CLOSED.
Colorado Companies Refuse to Accept
Arbitration Boards Scale.

Denver, Aug. 1.-The operating COM
mittee of the American Smelling &
Refining company at meeting today
decided not to reopen the smelters in
this city and Pueblo at the scale rec
commended by the state board of arbi-
tration. The committee published a
card, in which it says:
The decision of the board of arbi
tration cannot be accepted by the
American Smelling & Refining COM
pany, because it is unreasonable and
unjust. The board has undertaken to
arbitrarily interfere with industrial
conditions in Colorado in a way which
cannot fail, if persisted in, to bring
about great hardship to the industries
already established. and to surely pre-
vent new industries from establishing
themselves here"
1t is reported that the company will
reopen the Omaha-Grant smelter next
week if enough men can be found who
will accept the wages offered. The
smelteTmen's union will post a guard
around this smelter and endeavor to
dissuade men from working there. as
was successfully done at the Globe
Smelter last week.

Fatal Cave-in of An Embark
ment.

Victoria, B. c.. Aug. 1.-The oriental
steamer Victoria, which reached here
today, reports that before she left Kobe
a typhoon was raging which threatened
serious damage to shipping. The steam
ships City of Pekin and the Doric were
both held over for day. and the North
German Lloyd steamer HohenZollern
was obliged TO run back to Kobe be-
cause of the storm. The typhoon was
severely felt at Kobe.
The damage done by big hurricane
which ragged along the Japanese coast,
and of which news was brought by the
steamer Rio Jun Maru few days ago,
was even more serious than it was then
reported. Between 300 and 400 people
are reported TO have lost their lives.
The little bamboo built town of Oita
seems to have suffered the most. Ac-
cording to an investigation by the Jap
anese authorities. 400 houses were swept
into the river by the fall of an embank-
ment 5000 ken in length, and some 120
men, women and children went down to
their death in the falling debris. In
Asbijilnamura, seventy houses We're
washed away and fifty people We're
killed and thirty more are missing. A
train on the Yanaga & Sanyo railway
was swept from the track and ten peo-
pie were killed.
China Suffers Too.
July many thousands of acres of
rich crops were destroyed at Sheong
Yum and LIE Kong. Some houses col
lapsed and several children were
washed away. Heavy rains, which
were accompanied by thunder and
squalls, did much damage in Canton
and vicinity. Several junks were
wrecked.
The most terrible accident was that
which happened to a junk on its re-
turn voyage from Canton to Fan HUI.
The vessel foundered in a sudden squall
near Loahknog. There were over
eighty passengers, men, women and
children, on board. About sixty persons,
mostly women and children, were
drowned. The charitable institutions of
Canton sent boats to pick up the
corpses and about forty have been re-
covered.
The Hakodate correspondent of the
Japanese Daily Advertiser writes I'M
der date of July 10: American whal-
ing banks Charles w. Morgan, with
1880 pounds sperm Oil and sixty-five
pounds ambergris, and the Gala, Cap
tain Smith, with 900 pounds ambergris.
1850 pounds of whale oil and :. 900
pounds of whale bone, arrived here to-
day. Both vessels had a very success
full season. Captain Smith reports that
on May 3, while the second officers boat
was fast to a large sperm whale, the
line was fouled in the boat, which was
drawn under the water, and before as
sistance reached the crew a seaman
named Martin Cosgrove, aged %. a ma
tive OF Hartford, Conn, was drowned"

AMERICANS WILL BE SPARED.
But Indians Declare That They Will
Kill Mexicans.

Ell Paso. Tex. Aug. Luis F. Trude.
who has spent the past three months
in the heart of the Yaqui Indian coun-
try. reached here this evening by way
of Casas Grandes and reports that on
June "a and 25, while on the Rio Cedros
in Sonora. he met three bands of va
quis. heavily armed, numbering about
400 men, many of whom spoke English
and who said they were miners and
bound for Yaqui valley TO protect their
peoples and homes. They said the
Americans had never been and would
not now be molested. They said they
would annihilate the Mexican soldiers
who ventured to invade their country
from the eastward as they came
through the Sierra Madre mountains.
The fighting men will retire into the
mountains of southeastern Sonora and
there await the Mexican soldiers. They
claim the present war has been
brought about by the unfaithfulness of
the Mexican government. which two
years ago gave them certain lands in
the Yaqui valley and is now granting
the same TO individuals and corpora
tions for speculative purposes.

OPPOSES GUNPOWDER GOSPEL
COLONEL W. J. BRYAN DIS
CUSSES THE PHILIPPINES.
Policy of the Administration Is An
tagonistic to the Declaration of
Independence.

New York, Aug. 1.-Colonel William
j. Bryan discusses the Philippine cues
ton in this weeks INDEPENDENT He
says in part:
The Declaration of Independence
asserts that governments derive their
Just powers from the consent of the
governed. and this is the doctrine TO
Whlch we nave adhered for more than
a century.
IF the doctrine set forth in the Dec
laratlon of Independence is sound, how
can we rightfully acquire sovereignty
over the Filipinos by a war of con-
quest? If the doctrine set forth in the
Declaration of Independence is correct.
how can we rightfully purchase sover-
eighty from Spanish sovereign whose
title we disputed in Cuba and whose
rebellious subjects We armed in the
Philippines?
In the beginning of the Spanish war
congress denied that our nation had
any thought of extending It's territory
by war. If we then had no thought of
securing by conquest new territory in
the western hemisphere, why should we
now think of securing in the eastern
hemisphere new races for subjugation?
1T is surprising that any believer in
self government should favor forcible
annexation, but still more surprising
that anyone who believes in the Chris
tian religion should favor the substi-
tuition of force for reason in the extern
sion of our nations influence
IF we adopt the gunpowder gospel
in the Philippines, how long will it be
before that principle will be trans
planted in American soil? So long as
our arguments are addressed to the
reason and the heart, our progress is
sure, but can we. without danger to
Christianity, resort to the present plan
of injecting religion into the body
through bullet holes?
The question is frequently asked,
what can we do? Nearly two months
elapsed between the signing of the
treaty and the beginning of hostilities
in the Philippines. During that time
the president and congress might have
given to the Filipinos the same assur-
ance of independence that was given to
the Cubans. Such assurance would
have prevented bloodshed.
IF the president is not willing to
take the responsibility of enforcing the
doctrine set forth in the Declaration of
Independence, he can call congress to-
gether and let 1t take the responsible
ity. special session would be less
expensive than the war not to speak
of the principles involved"

UNEARTHED STOLEN PROPERTY
Provo Goods Discovered In Posses
sion of Sandy People.


AS a result of some fine work on the
part of Deputy Sheriff Sam Dowse
about $3.50 worth of the thirty bolts of
cloth stolen from the Provo wooden
mills last spring is now at the sheriff 5
office awaiting identification by Man
ager John c. Cutler. 1t was unearthed
in Sandy by Deputy Dowse of this city
and Billy Goldman of Murray, late yes
terday afternoon. and brought to town
last night at 1880 by Mr.. Dowse.
The goods were found in the possess
sion Of one of the best known men Of
Sandy. and another man who lives
about five miles west of that place. The
plumber consists of about seven or
eight bolts of wooden dress goods Of a
superior quality, part of which has
been cut into dress pattern lengths and
some few pieces made into skirts,
dresses and nightgowns, and Deputy
Dowse believes he has at last found
out where the gang of hobos which
have been operating between here and
Provo counted on disposing of their
plumber.
When Deputy Dowse took the 2:S0
car for Murray yesterday afternoon,
and pulled out for Sandy with Deputy
Goldman, in the latter's buggy, he did
not even know the names Of the men
he was after, and when he finally got
himself located he was as surprised as
the man he was after to learn that he
was well acquainted. At any rate, he
made his business known, and after
great deal of squirming the man and
his wife produced the goods. and un-
Willingly gave away the name of the
second party.
While Dowse went after the second
man. Deputy Goldman took the pre-
caution to have the first man put I'M
de- bonds.
What will come of the affair will not
be known till the officers of Provo are
communicated with and Mr.. Cutler
Identifies the goods.

AN ENGLISHMAN'S VAIL.
Doesn't Like the Way Things Are
Managed in Philippines.

London, Aug. 1.-The special artist of
the Daily Graphic of this city, now in
the Philippine islands. has been indulg-
ing in a vigorous srowl at the treat
ment which he says he has been sub
jected to by authorities who are so de-
ficient in common sense. to say nothing
of courtesy, as to forbid an artist the
assistance which he might provide for
himself by engaging servants to carry
the food the military authorities de-
cline to supply even now on payment.
He adds:
IF this campaign were conducted by
the British there would be officers COM
manding at the base and lines of COM
munication, roads would be repaired.
streams would be bridged or ferries es-
tablished. and supply trains would be
moved along, establishing depots.
Il have accompanied five British eX-
petitions where these characteristics
prevailed, but this is the first cans
paign I have seen in which the trans
port service was Systematically neg
lected. Even the Chinese established
depots in 1894. But here you cannot be
taken by cart from Manila to San To-
mas by road without having swim
streams. But for bit of single railway
line, the troops would be starved on
this line of operations. AS it is, they
are fed from hand to mouth"

Queenstown, Aug. 1.-The Cunarder
line steamer Cephalonia, Captain
Pierce, from Boston, July 30, for Liver
pool. which arrived here today at $3.50
a M, was densely befogged during the
night. Between , and O'Clock in the
morning, while nearing the Irish coast,
she collided with sailing vessel sup
posed TO be a bark.
The vessels separated quickly and a
boat was launched from the steamer.
but all search for the sailing craft was
unavailing. The Cephalonia was not
damaged
