WHEN LEFT TO THEIR
OWN WAYS OF LIFE
Easily Stirred Up by Irrational
Leaders---Gen. Macarthur
Reports on the
Conditions.

Washington, Nov. 1O-Major Cen
eral Macarthur commanding the army
in the Philippines and Military Cover
nor of the Islands since May 8. 1900.
has submitted his report to the War
Department. A considerable portion Of
the report relates TO events which took
place previous to the date when he as
sumed command and he publishes some
of the correspondence and prOclama-
tiOns Of the Filipinos obtained before
that time. He refers to the change in
Aguinaldo's plans in abandoning his
army organization and starting q
guerilla warfare. The conditions of
The country have afforded advantages
for such policy, he says, as they have
enabled the insurgents to appear and
disappear at their convenience. At
one time they are soldiers and imme-
diately after are within the lines in the
attitude Of peaceable natives. A wide
ly scattered formation of Filipinos
quickly followed the guerilla warfare
which led to a corresponding dissemin-
alton Of American troops, there being
SO military stations in the archipelago
November |, 1899 and il3 stations Sep.
TENDER /, 1900. This resulted in large
number of minor affairs, many of which
did not assume the dignity of a regular
combat, though the casualties between
the dates stated were PCS Americans
killed, $50 wounded and 80 captured
the Filipino losses during the same
time being 3,227 killed COL wounded
and 1854 captured General MacAr-
thur says the extensive distribution Of
troops has strained the soldiers of the
army to the full limit of endurance. lie
says the apparently desultory work has
demanded more of discipline and as
much Of valor as was required during
the period of regular operations against
concentrated field forces of insurrec-
tlonists. General Macarthur speaks In
the highest terms of the service rem
dered by the troops amid all labors md
hardshfps.
THE Fillpinos," says General Mac
Arthur, ARE not warlike or ferocious
people. Left to themselves a large
number of them would gladly accept
American supremacy which they arc
gradually coming TO understand means
individual liberty and absolute secur-
; ity in their lives and property, They
have been maddened however, the past
five years, by rhetorical sophistry, and
stimulants applied TO national pride
until power Of discriminating in mat
tiers of public concern or private inter
est, has been almost entirely suspend
ed. As a substitute for all other con-
siderations, the people seem to be nc,
tuated by the idea that in all doubtful
matters of politics or war, men are
never right than when going with
their own kith and kin, regardless OF
correctness"
This conditions, he says, has raised
difficulties and distractions in pacll
cation.

Main street was blown down and tho
fence is now mass of ruins.
DR.. w. Il. Boote's Office on Market
street was laid even with the ground
but not shattered and the dentist is
still using 1t as his Office. The trees
knocked down by the storm are be.
ing cut and carried away as soon as the
trees fall so as not to obstruct passage
The fine bouganville creeper in from,
of the Bismarck stables shared the
same fate as other ornamental shrub
| berries and 1t took force of men nearly
half a day to clear the way for the
hacks to go in and out Of the staolc
yards.

plaything as conn AIRED with the fierce
ness OF this storm and the kamaainas

any previous storm on record.
The storm cooled down a little on
Thursday afternoon but during the
night II increased again until II almost
reached the severity of the late Calves
ton storm, with the exception of the
extent Of the damage, for no human
lives have been reported as lost, al
! though there was a report that ia
panese baby was washed away las
night but that report could not be veri

ger of his life last night. At o'clock
this morning telephone message came
from him that his quarters at Mrs.
Lambs place, lao valley, were entirely

ter madly rushing down lao stream.
Deputy Sheriff A. n. Hayselden and
David Crowell and a large force ofpris-
oners went to his rescue at O'Clock
and found Mr.. Waldeyer in very great
pilikia, for water was rushing down
through the lower story about five feet
deep carrying logs of wood and other
debris along In its mad rush. Wal
deyer was in the upper story and all
around him and beneath him was 4
mad freshet. The house, however, was
solid and stood the test all right, AMI
a little while later, the waters SUBJ
sided and Mr. Waldeyer was extricat-
ed from his perious position.

Telephone Lines Down.


The Maui Telephone Company is also
among the big sufferers in this rain
storm. The lines to Lahaina and Ma
kawao have been damaged and no COM
munlcatlons can be got with those
places. J. de Rego. Of the Lahaina bus
line, came from Lahalna yesterday aud
changed horses at the pail road. He
reports the pail road In pretty fair con-
ditiOn but the telephone lines are bad
ly damaged. The Waikapu section nf
the Wailuku plantation is also badly
damaged and Manager c. b. Wells and
/ head luna ThOs. Cummings are out
with large force of men TO repair
damages as far as could be done.
Large sections OF cane field at Waikapu
are destroyed. Manager Wells SAYS
that the damage done by the storm 10
property of the Waikiki Sugar Com
pany will reach about $4,000. At this
writing, p. M. 1t Is still raging In
Waikiki but the Kona gale has sub
sided little, but 1t may come up again
during the night. The extent OF the
damage to Waikiki and Waikapu prop
erty alone II is estimated will reach
about $4,000.
The heaviest sufferers are those Sit
uated In the valley on both sides of
the lao stream, and 1t Is here for miles
that property Is considerably damaged.
Wailuku proper, being built upon IN
elevated country does not fare the
same fate as those in the valley. and the
only damage done In Wailuku proper
Is TO the trees and few houses have
the shingles blown Off but these houses
have been needing shingles for the last
Ave years, so In some cases IL spares
the owners the trouble OF employing
labor to remove the old dilapidated
shingles for new ones. The new build
ing Of the Maui Drug Co.. Ltd. at thC
corner of Main and High streets, was
also damaged little, the foundation
giving way in some places but Mr.
Field repaired the damage in short or
der yesterday.
The old town clock on the Kaahu
manu- church tower Is damaged by thu
storm for 1t stopped twice YESTERDAY
and today It is still in the same coma

THE LAZY MAN,

Let other bards twang the harp in
praise
Of the man who loves to toll,
Vino is always at work at half-past
four,
And who burns the midnight oil.
l tinkle my lutte to laud the good sense
OF the thoroughly lazy man,
Who never will work unless he must.
And who loafs whenever he can.
He watches the struggles of other men
With a calm, superior smile,
For as long as they work, he knows he
IA rest,
And smoke his pipe, meanwhile.
For heaven takes care of the lazy ones,
And so it will always be;
And why should he worry, and hustle,
and push,
When he gets a good living free?
Oh, the only true philosophy
Is that of the lazy man,
Who never will work unless he must,
And who loafs whenever he can.
He has no reason to lay up wealth:
He has no need to save;
For others will care for him all through
life,
And others will dig his grave.

FOR BOERS.
Allen of Nebraska Struggles a Resolu-
ton Through the Senate.

Washington, Feb. 10.-A resolution
expressing sympathy with the Beers
in their struggle against Great Britain
and urging mediation on the part Of
the United States between the belli-
gerents was adopted by the senate to-
day in a fit of temporary alteration Of
intention. The resolution, which was
offered by Mr.. Allen of Nebraska and
went through without attracting the
slightest comment from any II of the
dozen or more senator's present, is as
follows:
That the United States of America
extends its sympathy to the people Of
the South African republic in their
heroic struggle for liberty and popular
government and believes it to be the
duty Of the United States of America
to offer mediation to the end that fur
Their blOodshed may be averted and an
honorable peace may be concluded be-
tween the belligerent governments"
No objection was made to the on
sideration of the resolution, only about
a dozen senator's being present. Be
fore anybody realized what was gong
on the resolution was put to a vote and
declared adopted.
Senators looked from one to another,
and several, among them Mr.. Allen,
laughed unrestrainedly. Mr.. Pettus of
Alabama, addressing the chair (Mr.
Frye,) demanded the yeas and nays.
To this Mr.. Allen objected, as the reso-
luton had been declared adopted.
The chair agreed to this point, but
asked Mr.. Allen that he permit the
vote to be reconsidered and let the res
olution go ove To this Mr.. Allen
consented.

to keep them locked up in their cells.

is this difference between eastern and
western Convicts: The latter are as a
rule used to the utmost freedom out OF

keep them so, they invariably go to,

SERIOUS CHARGES
PREFERRED AGAINST ATTORNEY
NORTON IN DISTRICT COURT
AT CHEYENNE.
Accused OF Misconduct in a Divorce
Case at the Capital City-Commit-
tee Appointed to Examine Into and
Report Upon the Casa Decided
Sensation Created.

There was a decided sensation in the
district court at Cheyenne Saturday,
when Judge Scott, in the midst OF a
hearing on a divorce case, instructed
the clerk to prepare an order directing
the county attorney, in connection with
the state board of examiners of
attorneys, to investigate the con-
duct of Attorney J. f. Norton,
with a view of bringing proceed
ings, for his disbarment. Nor
ton was present in court, having just
concluded an argument on a motion
for an allowance for attorneys fees,
derstruck. He said he would like to
have the investigation at once. If he
was charged with a crime he was ready
to answer. Judge Scott said the time
of investigation would depend upon the
convenience Of the gentlemen to whom
the work was assigned.
The courts order grew out of Nor
tons connection with the divorce suit
of John A. Gerber VS.. Jennie D. Ger
Der, which Judge Scott characterized as
n Of the most extraordinary cases
that ever came before his court. The
story in brief. as developed in the pa
pers filed, is that Jennie, while employ
ed as a domestic by Attorney Norton,
advertised last September in a matri-
monial paper for a husband. The ad-
vertisement attracted the attention Of
John A. Gerber, a prosperous ranch
man living near Pine Bluffs. He came
and wooed the lady at Norton's resi-
dence in Cheyenne, and on New Years
day they were married. On that occas-
ion Mr.. Gerber gave his bride a dia-
mond ring worth $55 and $125 in money.
The day after the marriage Gerber
went back to his ranch, the woman
promising to follow him in a few days.
Instead of going, she wrote him a let
ter saying she did not love him and
would not live with him. Gerber claims
liz his petition to have received in
4 thot SiC "oo ~ hihAhS 'Ahe
Norton was carrying meals to her in
the night; that a conspiracy was or
foot to secure a portion Of his fortune,
and that Norton, who is a widower, was
living unlawfully with her and was a
party to the scheme to defraud Ger
Der.
In his application for divorce Gerber
employed Michael Barry as his attor-
ney. When the case came up in court
Norton appeared as the woman's attor-
ney and filed a motion for attorneys
fees, suit money and alimony. Numer-
Gus afidavits were filed duplicating
Norton in various ways, and in view Of
the evidence presented, the judge per-
emptorily denied the motions and is
sued the order mentioned.

KENT AND
How Two Well-Known Western News
paper Men Raised Funds.

The following from the Omaha Bee
may be of interest to Laramie people;
Residents of Omaha who knew W. H.
Kent, a newspaper reporter who work
ed here away back in the sos, will I'M
derstand this story better than those
who never had the pleasure Of acquain-
lance with the e~rratic, but clever Mr..
Kent. In the summer of 1895 Kent
was employed on a st. Joseph newspa-
per. He received a letter from a pros
porous brother in Indiana extending
him an invitation to make one more
visit to the old home. The invitation
was accompanied by a draft Of $50 and
a railroad pass from St. JOSEPH to
Charlottesville. Kent got as far as
Chicago on his way to Indiana, and he
might have gone further without inci-
old friend, William Lightfoot Visscher,
a well known poetic genius who has
played engagements in all the larger
cities of the country. Kent spent his
gov III Acquaintance Win La
scher. Visscher was also liberal with
his funds as long as they lasted. After
they were broke they discussed ways
and lean for recuperation. At that
time Nisscher was a space writer on
the Chicago papers.
Why don't you write a story about
my Alaska %railroad?" Kent asked.
1t was a happy thought. Visscher
knew that Kent was the originator of
a scheme by which the world was to
be encircled by a railroad crossing Ber-
ing strait, and connecting Siberia with
Alaska, extending through Russia and
into the heart of Europe. So Visscher
wrote the story. He sold it to one of
the Chicago morning papers. 1t made
two columns and a half. 1t was a
good story, but the funny part of it
was that the Introductory paragraph
read something like this:
w. H. Kent, a multi-millionaire of
st. Joseph. Mo-, is at the Auditorium
Annex, en- route to New York, where
he goes to confer with Wall street mag
mates with reference to the building of
a railroad around the world, connect
ing by way of Boring strait. From
New York Mr.. Kent will go to St. Pet
ersburg to confer with the car of Rus
STA, as the Russian government is deep
ly interested in his project.
And so the story ran, while at that
very blessed moment Kent, whom
Visscher pictured as a multi-million-
aire, was anxiously waiting for Wis.,
scher to raise the price of a drink, a
supper and a bed. 1t vas true, howev-
er, Kent was the originator Of the Rus
sian railroad scheme, despite the fact
that Ex-Governor Gilpin Of Colorado
was so accredited. Kent figured out
the plan and was for several years dur
ing his residence in Omaha in COM
munication with the Russian authori-
ties.
