Gen. Otis InfIicts Punishment for Sedi'
tion-More Trouble.
La Patria and Ell Liberal, Spanish
organs of the Extreme Filipino Party,
have recently been publishing articles
inimical to the military government.
Gen. Otis has suppressed the former
journal for sedition and imprisoned
the editor, at the same time issuing
warning to the members of the Ex-
treme Party that they should observe
greater moderation.
Senior Paterno at one time Presi.
dent of the so-called Filipino Cabinet,
having received permission from the
authorities to come to Manila, is ex-
pected to present himself this week
at San Fernando, Province of Union.
The insurgents in Gen. Young's dis
trict are becoming aggressive. The
American battalion garrisoning the
town of Namacapahan was attacked
on four consecutive nights recently.
Reinforcements are now arriving
there. Gen. Young purposes to pursue

owned an extensive breeding farm at
| Gallatin, Tenn. He lived with her
only seven weeks. When they separ-
ated she told one story; he another.
| Mrs. Gruenbaum said her husband
was too extravagant for her; he would
have run through her entire property
like an Empire State Express going
through a forty-foot tunnel. He said
some time afterward, this was
that he had been tricked into this mar
riage; that he was led to the alter un-
der the influence of morphine and
whiskey.
Whatever the cause of the separa-
tion, the trouble remained in statu
,quo until few weeks ago, when the
Baron obtained a divorce from his
Tennessee wife in a Pettis County
; (Mo.) court. He alleged that his wife
and her grown son had driven him
from the place and threatened to kill
him If he ever returned.
That is the end of the Baron's
story. Now for the beginning.
He Is the son of a rich banker in
Vienna, and tall, finely-built fellow.
But he was wild-wild as a hare and
reckless as wet hen. He got into
trouble-no end of it-and came to
America.
Baron Gruenbaum told the friends
that when he arrived in New York he
had $4,000 which his father had given
him to cover his first years expenses
in America. A cruel-hearted steerer
for Chicago Gas met up with him,
however, and seduced him into invest
ing his money in this stock. He
bought at So, somebody pulled out the
plug and his margin disappeared like
birdshot in Niagara whirlpool.
This Is the explanation he gave of
his presence on Ellis Island in high
hat and Prince Albert coat, acting as
interpreter at a salary of $100 a
month
While there he had two chances to
fight duel, but accepted neither.
One was with bootblack who un-
undertook to give him lesson in eti-
quette before some magnificent ladies';
the other was a fellow employe, who
knocked him down with Mccoy cork
screw blow on the jaw in discussion
over 80 cents. The Baron would not
fight with either of these offenders
because they were not of equal rank.
They were "canailles" and "cads," he
said.
Soon after, we hear Of him dancing
at the Patriarch's ball with Mrs AS
tor, having received funds from home.
Next he was heard of in the matri-
monial field. There were several ru-
mors of expected alliances with we'll
known heiresses, but he wound up by
marrying the Gallatin widow.
He went back to New York in 1896,
forged check with which he paid
went to st. Louis. where he took up
. convicted and sent to Sing Sing.
At the end of his prison term he
the title of Baron again and swelled
around with the best people of the
Missouri metropolis. He swindled a
woman out of several hundred dollars
there She had him arrested, and the
police gave him two hours to get out
of the town. Some of the young men
who knew him took pity on him and
raised money enough for him to pay
his fare to Sedalia. This was ten
months ago, and he never got. further
than eight miles from that place, ac-
cording to all accounts.

A Good Sentiment,

1t may be in the providence Of God
that the time has come when this ma
tion, conceived in liberty, shall be
turned over to the doctrines of the
past. 1t may be-no man can tell what
the future has in store. But if it is
true that the time has come when
these fundamental principles are to be
changed; if it is true that upon the
ruins Of homogeneous republic is to
be built a heterogeneous empire, l
pray to God that the party of Jeffer-
son and Jackson may die with the re-
public, rathan than live when the
principles Of the fathers have ceased
to prevail.-Speech of William ]. Bry-

ture of public money. They seem to

too dazed to see through their schemes

The Bank Scheme.

The people of South Dakota are up
against the scheme as well as the null
titude elsewhere. The Sioux Falls
Press says about the new banking ad-
venture of Mr.. Mckinley:
'The imperial bank scheme is a part
of the so-called currency bill or bill to
establish the gold standard, which is
in fact a bill to turn over the treas
ury department to the banks or to one
bank and to facilitate the monopoliz-
ing of the banking and currency busi-
ness Of the country"
