Special Despatch to Commercial Tribune.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-The Presi-
dent sent to the Senate today the NOM
ination of General r. P. Kennedy, of
Bellefontaine, O., to be member of
the commission for the settlement of
the Chilean claims. There has been
some curiosity to know just how Cen
eral Kennedy would be taken care of,
since it became definitely settled sew
eral weeks ago that he would not be
appointed United States Judge in Por-
to Rico. The appointment Monday Of
Ed. s. Wilson, of Ironton, to be United
States District Marshal of Puerto Rico
made 1t certain that General Kennedy
would have no position at all under the
new civil government of the island, for
it was not to be expected that the Pres
ident would have selected two Ohioans
for important Puerto Rican officers
The place to which General Kenned!
was appointed today was provided fol
under act of Congress of 1892, and re
vived by subsequent Congressional &C
tion in 1897. The tenure of life of tn,
Chilean Claims Commission is limited
by law to six months, and the pay o
the members is not to exceed ihe rat,
of Is, 900 year each.

A MOVEMENT is afoot to return to
the Confederate veteran associations
all their flags that were captured in
the war, and have them turned over to
the G. A. II. Encampment in Chicago,
in October. We believe it would be
wise move. We have no desire to hold
any trophy that would in any sense
make our possession of it any humili-
alton to any good citizen of the Repub-
lie. We are glad the battle was won
for Liberty and Union, and would new
er favor any bounty or recognition of
those who fought to destroy the Govern,
ment:but we respect American valor
wherever shown-we did so during the
war-and we would not retain any me-

those who were in wrong cause. We

AGUINALDO'S FRIENDS.

tons From Many Sources.

Worn From Chasing the Rebel
Leader and Followers.

MANILA, June 6.-Advices from
Canton dated June say Major P. c.
March's men of the Thirty-third Reg
iment returned to Canton that day by
steamer from Aparri. A majority of
the men are ready for the hospital.
They are thin and weak, having trav-
eled 250 miles in the mountains.
during which they suffered greatly
from hunger. Of the fifty horses which
started with the battalion thirteen
survived. The remainder died on the
march or fell into canyons. The battal-
ion practically collapsed at Pial, thirty
miles from Tuguearo, as the result of
fevers and exhaustion. Eighty-seven
of the men were conveyed from Pial to
TuguearaO in bullcarts, and those fall
ing on the way were carried in litters
by the Igorottis with the column. They
say it is all guesswork as to whether
AguinaldO was shot. Before the Amer
leans struck Sagat the insurgent Chief
divided his forces into parties of ten,
| ulucTcHb 1 u6 OlilC0E
shot was, perhaps, Aguinaldo's secre-
tary or Adjutant. The report among
the natives of the region is that Agui-
naldo was wounded in the shoulder.
Papers secured show that nearly all
the Presidents installed by the Amer
leans in General Young's territory are
treacherous, and have been making
regular reports to Aguinaldo OF
the disposition and movements ot
the American troops, and they have
been collecting and forwarding taxes
The captured papers also prove the
disloyalty of the native telegraph oper
ators whom the Americans retained
on the Cayaugan Valley Line. They
had been sending Aguinaldo copies
of important kilograms exchanged be-
tween the American officials.
Letters were also found relating t.
large contributions forwarded to Agui
naldo from Spanish and other foreign
business men.

DEATH OF r1RS. II. B. JOHNSON


Amazetta Outland was born in Logan
Co. Ohio, Feb. 17th 1885, and was con-
verted in 1850 at a Free-will Baptist
meeting and united with that society.
Married to H. B. johnson April 18th
1857. Soon after her marriage she unit
ed with the Methodist Episcopal church,
to which her husband belonged. She
was the mother of 10 children, eight
sons and two daughters. George and
Edmond live in Ohio; Roy, Grant and
Sylvester at Greenleaf Kansas; Ransom
at NewtonsK kansas; Pearl and Jordan at
Cora at Dwight and Amanda at Edna
Kansas. She moved with her husband
from Ohio to Washington Co. Kans. in
1881, and to Labette Co. Kans. in 1891,
residing near Edna until her death.
Mrs. johnson has been a very
faithful member of the church militant;
always hopeful and at peace with all
mankind. In 1894, during Rev. Hub
bard's meeting, Mrs. johnson sought
and obtained entire sanctification and
her life and testimony revealed Cod
prayer to save unto the uttermost and
keep unto the end.
For nearly five months she was in
failing health and for the last two
months she was confined to her bed.
While it was a bed of pain and and
at times great suffering, it was also a
bed of prayer, praise and promise.
About three weeks ago she called all
her children Except one son Edmond
who resides in Ohio to her bed side
and told them that the Father was
getting her ready for her last journey
and obtained from them promise to
meet her in heaven.
About one week before she died, she
selected the text, scripture lesson, and
songs for her funeral service. AS long
as she had speech, she encouraged hel
family and friends in the cause of hel
Redeemer's kingdom. April Both. a
$40 o'clock, with the word home upor
her lips, her spirit bid adieu to earth.
Funeral services were conducted a
the M. E. church at p. m. by Rev
G. E. Tiff.
