Cutting the sudd on the Upper Nile
has released mass of long-stagnant
water which is working it's way down
the river, killing the fish as it goes.
At Assounan, where the great dam
is being built, the dead fish have been
cast ashore in millions, and the odor
is unpleasant. The Nile water is all
the workmen have to drink, and
though, when filtered, it seems to
have no ill effect upon them, cells
plunged into the filtered water are

American Suzerainty
Nominnlly a Republic.

The general idea of the administra-
ton and of the property holding and
most influential classes of Cuba is to-
try local self-government as sort
of ward or colony of the United
States, subject to wholesome re-
straints, and if that works well grad
ually to assume a status more closely
approximating true independence.
In other words, Cuba should, for a.
time at least, become nominally re-
public, but really a self-goyerning
American colony, occupying relations:
to the United States similar to those
sustained by Canada or Australia or
New Zealand to Great Britain.

and Report.

Washington, July 2O.-As a result of
the cabinet meetings held Tuesday and
Wednesday the policy of the United
States concerning the world crisis in.
China is fully and definitely decided
upon. The substance of this policy is
as follows:
l. The United States will under no CIR
cumstances join in the partition Of China
among the powers.
2. The United States will Use all it's in
thuence, to the utmost extent, short of
war with European nations, to prevent
the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the Chinese en-
pre- sEl
8: The United States proposes to have
voice in the settlement of the Chinese
trouble, and its voice will eyer be raised
against spoliation, and in favor of preser-
walton of China's territorial and govern
mental entity, along the, lines set forth in
Secretary Hays note to the powers dated
July 3.
4. The United States will not declare war
upon China on the present showing of
facts, no matter what other powers may
do.
S. The United States, acting independent
~ and for itself, will cooperate with the
other powers in restoring order in China,
IN furnishing all officials, high or low found
gulity of crimes against human life, in
setting up stable government that may
give guarantees of security of life and
property and freedom of trade.
At the cabinet meeting on Tuesday
the situation was thoroughly dis
cussed, but more particularly with
reference to the immediate future and
the necessity of increasing the num-
Ter of American troops in China.
Thursday, after forty-eight hours re-
Election, the president took the sense
OF the cabinet as to the broad policy
which is to govern the actions and at
titude of the United States as events
come along, and the foregoing is the
result. s,{E .-1a.-...ss..
A Special Commissioner.
Washington, July 2O.-The cabinet
meeting Thursday developed nothing
of Importance regarding the situation
in China beyond a decision to send w.
W. Rockhill, formerly secretary of the
legation at Picking and assistant Sec
rotary of state, and now chief of the
bureau of American republics, to
China to investigate the situation and
report to the authorities here. Mr..
Rockhill will go as special COM
missioner to ascertain the extent of
the responsibility of the Chinese gov
eminent, if any, for the existing dis
turbances and to otherwise furnish
the administration with the informa-
ton upon which the case of the United
States against China for indemnity
and PREPARATION will be based.
Well Equipped for the Mission.
He is well equipped for the mission,
having been secretary of the American
legation in Picking for several years.
He speaks and writes Chinese f1uently.
The administration expects authentic
news from Picking soon; in fact, both
the president and his advisers can hard
ly understand why some absolutely re-
liable news has not arrived before this
time.

altar Miss Minnie Anderson, daughter
Of prosperous Scandinavian farmer.
Until few days ago the young wom-

coming warm the contest narrowed
down to two favorites-MZrena and
another young farmer of the name Of
G. Alstot. The young woman asserted
she was unable to choose between the
two.
Blood is no longer spilled in Iowa
In such affairs, but both young men
were known throughout the county for
their experiences with the rifle. A con-
test without blood was the way out Of
the difficulty suggested, and the prin-
cipals and their friends went to quiet
spot back of the barn and wooden
targets were set up. Alstot lost his
head in contesting for so valuable a
stake and Mzrena had a walkaway,

girl. They were married Tuesday and

MANY REBELS SURRENDER
Two Thousand Two Hundred Filipino
Take the Oath of Allegiance.

Take the Oath of Allegiance.
Manila, Dec. sunday in Vigan
was a great day for the American
cause. Twenty-Five hundred natives
Of the region, nearly all fighting reb-
els, crowded the church and took the
oath of allegiance to the United States.
The oath was administered by the
priest. All but 500 of those sworn
were bolomen. The number included
the 1,200 bolomen who had previously
surrendered.
The proceedings in the church oc-
cupied the entire day, and included an
address by General Young and an ex-
hortation by the priest. Scarcely any
rebels remain in the vicinity of Santa
Maria. General Young attributes this
fact to three cause.-the reelection of
President Mckinley, the arrival Of a
stronger body of troops, and the es-
pecially rigid enforcement Of war
measures, and the deportation of pris-
oners to Manila. He reports that 1t is
necessary to occupy all the barriers
in order to protect the natives from
the Vengeance of Tagalog raiders.
