The scene of the outbreak is about 100
miles from the agency and the fever is
among the Turtle Mountain Indians who
are on separate reservation, but under
the jurisdiction of the Devils Lake agency
Commissioner of Indian Affairs Jones has
wired the agency authorities to take all
steps necessary, including the employment
of trained nurse. The department also
has shipped vaccine virus to the reserva-
tfon. The authorities here saw thew believe
the smallpox cases reported are not likely
to be of virulent character, and are sim
liar to cases that have occurred among In
dlans in other sections. Doctors they saw
have diagnosed the cases in many Instances
as aggravated attacks of chicken pox
There are about 1850 or 100 Indians ON

L. c. Scherer of the eth United States
Volunteer Infantry writes to The Star as
follows:
Il write to thank you or whoever is re-
sponsible for the kindness in sending The
Evening Star to our regiment in the Phil
ippine Islands 1t is very much appreciated
and the copies are carefully handed around
among the officers and men and read down
to and including the advertisements.
we get our copies from First Lieut. ].
Howard Griffith, commSsary of the 2Tth
Infantry, and a most excellent officer If it
is possible We regulars. when go back
to our regiments, would like to take this
Washington man with US into the regular
army as commiSSary, for he makes most
excellent one. He formerly belonged to the
National Guard Light Battery of Wash
ington, d. c., and later Joined the 1st Dis
trict Regiment. He went to Cuba as its
commissary, and his excellent work there
attracted the attention of Gen. Weston,
who recommended him for appointment in
the 9th Infantry. We also have three other
officers from the District, Capt. F. L. Gra-
ham and First Lieuts. G. C. Shaw and r.
X. Brewer, who have become thorough
Philippine campaigners."
Major scherer inclosed in his letter a
copy of Eel Recuerdo, journal of the
2Tth Infantry. U. S. V" The copy is vol
ume 1, No. 1; was printed at San Mateo
June l, 1900, and its price, prominently
lined out, was announced 20 cents gold"
The paper is of folio size, four co umns to
each of the four pages. and the typograph-

waters of Penobscot bay. This vessel is
owned principally by the man whose name
she bears, and was built specially for Capt
John g. Crowley of Taunton. Mass.
She was launched amid the footing of a
hundred whistles. the waving of a thousand
flags and handkerchiefs and the cheers of
fully ten thousand persons. Miss May
Wells scattered flowers to the winds from
her towering position in the bow of the
great craft. instead Of cracking the ordinary
bottle of champagne. Miss Wells also let
loose a flock of pigeons.
The Wells launched without her
masts. They are sticks of Oregon pine, lI9
feet long, and the topmasts are - feet in
length. The queen schooner of the seas is

When he came here he at once became

The installation of Protestant churches in

Church. They are devoted to the religious

such great and impressive feature OF their

In Mindanao the labors Of Christian mis-

THEY HATE THE FRIARS.
Reputed Cause of Much of the Fill
ninOa' OppOsitiOn.

John T. McCutcheon, the New York Her
AIDS correspondent in the Philippines. sends
the following to his paper, under date Of
Manila, April %:
Within the last two months it has been
noticed that great numbers of bolo men
have Joined with the riflemen of the insur-
gent army. 1t has also been noticed that
these bolo men, instead Of being cowardly.
have attacked several of our garrisoned
towns with the fierce blindness of religious
fanatics.
The great proportion of bolo men in the
recent fighting and the fanatical fury of
some of their attacks indicate that some in
fiuences are at work to enlist active Coop
Grafton Of the mass Of people. These bolo
men, for the greater part, are the workers
in the fields the common people and peas
ants, who require an unusual impulse to
spur them on to combat with force which
they have heretofore dreaded and feared.
The explanation of this new and fanatical
hostility is thought to be Archbishop Cha
pelle's attitude regarding the friars. 1t is
said. with considerable authority, that he
has been working steadily to have the friars

The question of making the permanent
repairs on the Oregon at home instead Of
in Japan has been discussed by some of
the authorities of the Navy Department,
and may result in her being brought back
to the Pacific coast 1t is pointed out by
some of the naval experts that If a ship
of the Oregon's size is needed on the Taku
station It would be necessary to send the
Indiana to serve during the four months
that II is estimated the Oregon will be I'm
dry dock The repairs so far as the De-
partment is Informed, will amount to
500. 900, and it has been urged that. as
the run to San Francisco can be made in
sixteen days, 1t would be better to have
the Oregon repaired where she was built
and where the department will feel that an
absolutely satisfactory job can be done.
rather than to have her laid up for four
months at the Kure docks, In which case
the money for her repairs would be spent
abroad instead Of At home.

away.
Anarchist placards have also been posted
during the past night on the boulevards and
streets, but the police have as yet no def
mite clue as to their origin. Unusual pre-
cautions are being taken. owing to the un-
den!able restlessness Of the anarchist popu-
