Navy Department Makes Good Its Title
to Disputed Possessions.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The Ameri-
can flag will not come down on Sibuta
island or on Cagayan island. Spain
has been demanding that these islands
be returned to it. The war department
was ready to make the return, and SO
was the state dedartment. The navy
department was, however, unwilling
to surrender anything it had taken,
and has made its title good to the is.
lands. The state department will in
form Spain that the islands are the
property of the United States and will
hold them. Sibitu was saved to the
United States by the discovery of an
old treaty between Spain, Great Brit
ain and Germany, which specifically
says that Borneo's holding shall not
extend farther than three miles from
the coast of Borneo. Sibuta is on the
opposite side of the channel separating
Borneo from the Sulu archipelago. As
to CagaYan island the records show
that it was at one time used as a penal
colony by Spain, and the latter Is
therefore stopped from denying that
it was used as a part of the Phil.
ippine group.

FROZEN IN A BARN.
Insane Mans Death Said to 10 Due to
Cruelty and Neglect.

Cruelty and Neglect.
HUMBOLDT, Feb. 22.--This city is now
agitated by revelations which seem to
show that extreme cruelty led to the
death of an insane man. Several years
ago Michael Chess, farmer living
near ERADICATE, Humboldt county, be-
came demented and was taken 10 the
insane asylum at Independence.
Shortly after this Chess's sister and
her husband secured his release from
the asylum and took him back TO the
farm in the hope, they said, that his
reason might be restored through good
care by loving hands. Later a deed of
Chesss 200-acre farm was made out to
his sister. After this the neighbors
noticed that Chess was kept out OF
sight Of the public. A week ago Chess
died without having been attended by
a physician. The seeming haste of
the family in making funeral arrange
ments excited the suspicious of the
neighbors, who instigated a post-mor-
tenn examination. This developed that

usual congestion, due to pneumonia.
Other interior organs were terribly in
famed and distended. The mans feet
had been frozen and several of the toes
had sloughed off. The body was ter
ribly emaciated. Before the coroner's
jury evidence was adduced showing
that Chess had been kept in barn,
had received poorer food than the
st ock on the farm and was barefooted
and practically unclothed. He had
never been in the house since his re-
moval from the asylum until the night
of his death.
FORT DoDGE, Feb. e4.-The grand
jury of Humboldt county has returned
an indictment against Frank Michalal
and wife, charging them with being
responsible for the death of Michael
Chess. Warrants were Immediately
issued and they were arrested. Their
bonds were fixed at 81 500 each, which
they furnished. They will be tried at
the April term Of court.

THE NEWS In IOWA
IS ANOTHER BLOW.
To Reduce Interest Charged by Building
and Loan Associations.

To Reduce Interest Charged by Building
and Loan Associations.
Dies MONIES, Feb. IS. Another blow
has been aimed at the building and
loan business Of the state in a bill in
troduced in the upper body of the leg
islature by Senator Lewis. The author
proposes TO reduce the rate of interest
which may be charged by these asso-
Citations At present the building and
loan business of the state is exempted
by statute from the usury laws, and
may lawfully charge IL per cent upon
its loans, while no other business in
the state may legally collect an inter
est rate Of more than $ per cent. This
privilege was extended to building and
loan corporations when the new code
went into effect in 1897. There was a
fight before it was placed on the
statute books, In 1898, when the
twcnty-seventh general assembly con.
vened, the question was again taken
up. Another fight ensucd upon the
proposition TO make the provision
granting the right to building and
loan corporations to charge usurious
rates, apply to all contracts entered
into by building and loan associations
prior to the new code going into effect.
Senator Lewis has introduced bill
proposing to repeal this last enact
ment, which is chapter As of the session
laws of the twenty-seventh general
assembly. He is also preparing bill
to be introduced shortly which will re-
peal the original law placing the inter
est rate at IL per cent, which went in
to effect with the new code.

British Authorities Believe Cronje VIII

LONDON, Feb. 25.--Since 2:l5 o'clock
yesterday afternoon nothing has been
received from the scene of what the
London papers call General Cronje's
death struggle. They stated that they
believed it impossible for Cronje to
escape from the grip of Lord Roberts.
The report circulated in Berlin that
Cronje had succeeded in making his
escape came from the Boer head
quarters in BRUSSELS, where it was
stated that details were still lacking.
The only news from the other parts of
the seat of war received during the
night is a special dispatch from Colen
SO, under date Of Feb. "a, stating that
the British, in spite of strong opposi-
ton, were advancing slowly but surely

NEWS in GENERAL
WILL FIGHT TO THE FINISH.
Gen. Cronjs Evidently Has No Idoa of
Surrendertng.

Gen. cronje Evidently Has No Idoa of
surrendering.
LONDON, Feb. 23.-General Cronie Is
seemingly making his last stand. He
is dying hard, hemmed in by British
and with shells from fifty guns coming
into his camp. The third day Of the
fight General Cronje asked for an arm
istice to bury his dead. Eight to the
death or surrender Internationally"
was Lord Kitchener's reply. General
Cronje Immediately sent back word
that his request for a truce had been
misunderstood, and that his determi-
nation then, as before, was to eight to
the death.
The battle went on. This was the
situation Of General Cronie Tuesday
evening, as sketched in the scanty tel
egrams that have emerged from the
semi silence of South Africa.
Officially Lord Roberts wires that he
has scattered the advance commando
of the achievements that were striv-
ing to reach General Cronje. 1t is re-
garded as singular that Lord Roberts,
wiring Wednesday, should not mention
the appeal for an armistice on the pre-
vious day, and also that the war office
should withhold good news, IL 1t has
any.
Without trying to reconcile even the
scanty materials at hand, it seems
plain that General Cronje is in a bad,
and even a desperate situation, and
that the British are pressing their
advantage.
While the attack on General Cronje
proceeds, there is n race for concentra-
ton between the Beers and the British.
The engagement with General Cron-
je's five TO eight thousand entrenched
men is likely to become an incident in
battle between the masses. The
separated fractions of the Boer power
are rapidly drawing together to attack
Lord Roberts.
General Butler, according to dis
patch from Chievely, dated Wednesday,
finds the Beers in positions north OF
the Tugela largely reinforced. This
seems strange.
