man which is rarely equaled. Lansair
started late in the afternoon to clean
up the bottom of the well and had been
at work but a few minutes when, with
out warning, the sides caved in and
the moist earth banked in around him.
Great stones fell down, making it i'm
possible for him to lift hands or. feet.
His arms were pinioned to his sides
and he was held firmly. The remain
ing space above his head, with the ex-
ception of a small crack at one side,
into which the earth did not shake
down sufficiently to completely close
it. was filled by a large rock that was
dislodged. Wellman, one of the party
of rescuers, managed to dig around the
big rock and enter the we'll at the i'm.
minent peril of his own life, as it was
thought the ground would show fur
Their weakness and he would be
crushed. A long rubber tube was
forced through the crevices after a
struggle, through which Lansair was
enabled to breathe and receive food.
He was finally rescued, after being
buried seven hours.

Manila, July 17.-During last weeks
scouting three Americans were killed

tured and twenty-five rifles and 14O

WANTS TO GO.

Believed, However, That Gen.. Miles
Request Will Not Be Granted.
Washington, July II. - Lieut.. Gen.
Miles has applied for service in China,
but it is believed his request will not
be acted upon favorably unless 1T
should be deemed advisable to augment
the strength Of the forces now under
orders. The ranking general of the
army is as anxious for service as he
was during the Cuban war. and later
when the i%nsurrection broke out in the
Philippines, but it is by NO means GER
tain that the administration will be
willing to go so far as to permit his
assignment to work in China. Gen.
Miles, it is understood, represented to
Secretary Root that the gathering to-
gether in China of large detachments
Of the armies of Europe would give an
opportunity to observe and study at
one and the same time the arms,
equipment and efficiency Of all the
great military establishments of the
world. 1t is said also that a measure
Of personal ambition has inspired the
request of the lieutenant general. AS
chief military officer of the United
States he would probably outranki all
of the European commanders. and
would therefore be selected to COM
mand the immense allied forces, by
means of which it is supposed the
powers will seek to bring the Chinese
to their senses.

of Senator John Henry Gear Of Iowa,
which took place at daylight Saturday

garding the future, although he was

of his friends have passed the four
score mark. Senator Gear was, how
eve the only u who seemed to take
a gloomy view Of the situation, and
his friends expected him to live for
many years.

West Superior, Wis, July II. In
dams in this county are row picking
the %bluebeIry crop, and it will pan out
the poorest in years. AS a consequence
there will be many poor Indians in this
vicinity this fall. The dry weather
has had a disastrous effect upon the
berries. While they have gone up
from about $1.5O to about So per
bushcl, the supply is SO low that the
advance in price will not be of very
much benefit. The raspberry crop out.
look is also poor.
