courteous reception and requested him
to convey a message of special friend

an unimportant revolt of natiI police,
as was at first reported. it appears to
have been an attempt to overthrow
American authority. The movement
was started by the chief officials of the
autonomous government, the men who
were elected and inaugurated with so
much ceremony last November.
Eleven of these officials. including the
president and several councillors, were
lodged in Jail on charges of plotting trea.

heavy bonds, but Others remained in
prison.
General Smith had evidence that the
revolving police were following the or

its control to overpower the Americans.
The plot failed through being started

of uneasiness for about q week. Two
companies of the Twenty-sixth infan-

the garrison at Bacolod.
The officials arrested included some OF
the most prominent men in Negros. II

leave of absence from his duties for
several months without some special
purpose.
A recent dispatch from Washington
pointed out that Mr.. Davis had given
up his proposed visit to the Transvaal

TAX LEVY LOWER.
Figures for the Present Year Will
Show u Reduction In Taxation
in IOwn.

The state levy in Iowa this year will
be either 25 or 2.6 mills. On the latter
basis there will be reduction of 2-1O
mill from the levy of a year ago. This
reduction is warranted because of the
increase in the return of all kinds of
property, which is expected to aggre-
gate SD, 900, 900. There is an unusually
large increase in the returns of per-
sonal property and new buildings, in
creased railroad valuations and a
small increase on telegraph and tele-
phone valuations. A year ago the
general state levy was three mills, in
Guiding the tax of Ito mill for the
state university which was ordered by
the legislature. This year there is
also Ito mill tax for the state col
lege of agriculture. This. added to
the 2.6 mills fixed by the council will
still make the state levy 2.1o mill less
than year ago.

Assistant Postmaster Mt HASTE
Leaves the Place Because ofLet-
tiers Containing Threats.

The assistant postmaster at HASTE
has been driven from the place by
whitecaps Anonymous letters were
sent to him and he appealed to Sher-
iff Mattern, of Polk county, for protec-
ton. The sheriff refused to interfere,
saying that he did not think the
threats would be carried out. The
man became frightened, however, and
left. The occurrence is the outgrowth
of feud between two families, Cald-
we'll and Grinstead. The assistant
postmaster belonged to the Grinstead
faction. He had been subjected to
several outrages. On one occasion he
was called from his store and brutally
beaten. At another time he was SUBJ
jected to similar treatment.
