SAYS IT'S M'KINLEY.
Sewall Asserts Times Have Been Too
Prosperous for a Change.

San Francisco, Feb. 5.-Arthur Sewall
of Bath, Me-, late democratic candidate
for vice president, is among the passen-
gers of the Australia, 500 to be releas-
ed from quarantine. Mr.. Sewall has
returned from a visit to Honolulu,
where he spent some months visiting
his son, Harold NJ. Sewall. special agent
of the United States in Hawaii.
Il have always favored the acquisi-
ton of the Philippines after the Paris
treaty. The United States should stand
with the administration in all that is
being done to hold the government in
the Philippines. They are worth keep
ing said Mr.. Sewall. "In regard to
politics, Mr.. Mckinley will be re-nomi-
mated and reelected. Mr.. Bryan, too,
will be renominated, but l fear he can
not win the goal. The fact is the coun-
try has been too prosperous to leave
any hope of a change in national ad-
m~inistration, and the people are slow
to take up reform measures when times
are as good as they are at present. No,
| am not a candidate for the vice presi-
dency this year. l believe it is a poor
policy on the part of the democracy to
select any candidate from the east,
where no electoral votes may be expect
ed, and, moreover, I am not ambitious
to make the race again. If the demo-
Gratis call Upon me again. however, l
could not refuse to do my duty"

by the United States supreme court.
"The case Of IN election board is diff

BY APRIL FIRST.
Burlington Trains viii be Running
Into the New Town of Guernsey.

A special from Cheyenne to the Den,
yer News says:
1t is now given out by officials of the
Burlington road that its trains will be
running into Guernsey on or before
April l. This is one month earlier than
was planned by the contracts let last
fall, but the exceptionally fine weather
has enabled the contractors to push
construction rapidly.
The grade is now complete to within
six miles of Guernsey, where there is
some %tunneling to be done. The com
pany has announced that it will bridge
the Platte at Guernsey during the sum,
mer, which means an extension west
for its continental line through the
mountains to Salt Lake, the surveys
for which have already been made. The
Lincoln Land company, which will con
troll the Guernsey town site, proposes
to erect a big dam at the mouth Of
Platte canon about II mile up the riv-
er, which will give $1,000 horse power
err to be used for electrical and manu-
featuring purposes, as well as affording
an abundant water supply for the new
city.
There will be two towns established
on the road before reaching Guernsey,
n at Torrlngton, eight miles west Of
the Nebraska state line, and at Fort
Laramie, about fifteen miles west of
Torrington. From Fort Laramie to
Guernsey the distance Is fourteen miles.
Within a distance of a few hundred
yards three bridges will cross the Platte
river at Guernsey; the county bridge
now erected, the bridge for the railroad
spur of the Colorado and Southern now
in process of construction and the
bridge Of the Burlington main line, to
be built the coming season. The bridge
for the spur will. be completed in about
ten days and steel laid to the iron mines

Manila, Feb. 5.-Brigadier General
Kobbe's expedition in the islands of
Luzon, Leyte and Samar has occupied
permanently and ~garrisoned nine
towns with the Forty-third and Forty
seventh regiments. This has paced on
the market 1870, 900 bales of hemp. A
thousand insurgents, armed with rifles,
and over 5000 armed with wooden
swords, bows and arrows, were en-
countered on the entire trip. The
troops killed rs natives, IL Of whom
had rifles. The others were villagers
armed with a wooden sword. The
American loss was one man killed and
nine men wounded. The Americans
captured $1,000 gold of the enemy's
money and 40 muzzle loading brass can
non.
At Calbogog and Samar the enemy
evacuated the towns, the Americans
chasing, fighting and scattering them
to the mountains. At Calbalogan, LUX
ban, the Tagalog general, fired the place
with kerosene just before the Ameri-
cans landed, and then fought with can
non and rifles from the hills encircling
the town for two hours. When the
Filipinos were driven out the Ameri-
cans did the best to save the town,
fighting fire several hours. Thirty
stone n seventy other houses, half
the business portion of the place, were
consumed. The soldiers prevented the
fire from spreading.
The next day Major Allen, with three
companies Of the ~Forty-third regi-
ment. pursued Lukban to the mountain
Businesses and then to the coast town,
where Lukban was heading in hopes Of
escaping. Lukban. by robbing the ma
tives, has accumulated 800, 900 in gold.
His capture is probable.
At Takloban. island Of Leyte, the en-
envy evacuated the town and the Amer
leans pursued them to the hills. Sew

scouts of the Forty-third regiment. who
