HAYES is NOT DEAD.
Kenosha Soldier in the Philippines Hopes
to Remove Stigma Against His Name.

ARvAT, PROVINCIAL DE PAMPANGA
SCUBA DE LUzsON, Jan. 25.-Editor
EVENING NEWS: notice in one of
your daily papers tragic account of
my death which is wholly untrue as l
am still alive and am doing good ser
v1cein my company. In the first place
am not married to a Filipino woman
as I hold myself far above any OF
them I have met so far in my
campaigning in the Philippines. 1
have been promoted to corporal and
am not private. My standing in my
company is exce11ed by none. My
character is of the best or / would not
be able to hold the responsible position
that do. Now this infamous story
bra nding me with the disgraceful
name of a deserter must have it's origin
somewhere, and just who originated it
and where it came from l would be
under many obligations to my friends
if they would find out and let me know.
l would deem it a great favor if any
friend would kindly inform me when
am to be married so that | could be
there and also when I am to be shot, as
it would be very wrong to disappoint
him or her or the public at large. If l
knew something about it before hand |
think I could derive little enjoyment
out of it myself as am only man
and like enjoyment as well as the next
person. My friends IN Kenosha know
am always to be found where the fun
and enjoyment are thickest, such as
Labor day sports, and many others.
shall always consider myself under
many obligations to my Kenosha
friends for the interest they have
shown me in trying to prove the report
concerning me to be untrue. And as
for marrying any Filipino woman
am not so low and degraded to think of
such an act, as there are too many
Young American ladies' which could be !
had for the asking, and am pretty
we'll known to some; if asked they |
would not deny it. l am very sorry
that such a report was circulated as 1t
has caused some little anxiety about
me as to the truth of the report. The
home of my bride is sleeping in the
company quarters, sleeping on hard
floor. I 90 sincerely hope that this
will remove all doubts from the minds
of my friends,

CONVENTION HALL BURNED.

Big Hall for Democratic Convention Is
Burned to the Ground at Kansas City.
Special to the NEWS
KANSAS Cry, Mo-, April 1.-The
large convention hail erected tor the
purpose of holding the Democratic
National convention on July next was,
burned to the ground today The hall
was one of the finest of the kind ever
erected in the United States and cost
nearly 100000. The burning of the
great building may make it necessary
for the National committee to take
some steps to hold the convention in
some other city as it is hardly possible
that the building can be erected again
in time for the convention. The cause
of the fire is unknown.
Later-The fire is assuming alarm
ing proportions and has spread to
other buildings. The Presbyterian
church and school building across
the street from the big hall have al
ready been destroyed and the flames
are spreading rapidly.
The loss on the convention building
is placed at $225, 900 and is insured for
half this amount.
Before the fire had been burning
twenty minutes plans were started for
the rebuilding of the hail, and it will
be ready for the convention.

Chicago, Jan. AFTER an exciting

ENGLAND's RIGHT DENIED.
United States Takes Action Regard
garding Seizure of Vessels.

Washington, Jan. 2.-The state de-
partment today received from Ambas-
sadOr ChOate at London by cable a
statement Of the facts he had devel-
Oped in connection with the seizure by
British waTships Of American goods on
the three merchant vessels Beatrice
Mashona and Maria. The goods COM
prised not only flour, but miscellane-
Gus articles of common trade They
were shipped for LourenzO Marques in
British and German ships, but our Off
Gals contend that they were rot sub
ject to seizure. They could not, how
ever, lodge representations on the sub
ject until they were possessed Of a
knowledge of the facts, and as soon as
Mr.. ChOate's statement came to hand
today, instruction was cabled to him
to inform the British government that
we could not admit the right Of the
seizure in these cases.
This is the preliminary step usually
taken in such negotiations. Next in
order will be a report from our consul
lar representatives at LOurenzo Mar
quez respecting the present condition
Of the seized or detained goods and the
damage sustained. The state depart
ment is not yet fully informed on these
points. necessary to the further pre-
sentatiOn of the cases. 1t is not even
known just where the goods are, or II
they have all been seized or only in
part. It will be the duty of our con-
sular agent at LOUrenzO Marquee to
ascertain and report these facts and he
is now engaged in doing this under the
original instructions of the state de-
partment.
While the department is acting as it
promised in the beginning, to firmly
protect all American rights Of trade, It
is showing no unseemly haste in the
presentation of the case. Today's in
struction to Mr. ChOate was not a de-
mand for the release Of the goods nor
yet for indemnity, but rather precau-
tionary notice to the British govern
ment to save all of our rights in the
case. It will be sufficient to initiate
the settlement of the matter by negO-
tiatiOn, the state department having
not the slightest doubt that the British
authorities viii make full amends to
the owners of the goods. when the facts
are all laid before them.
