KENTLAND KEEPS 1T.
County Seat in Newton Finally Fixed
Very Quiet Election.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
KENTLAND. Ind, Sept. 25.-The second
county seat election in Newton county re-
suited in a complete victory for Kentland.
Brook was defeated by a majority almost
as great as was returned against Morocco
June To- The vote was great disappoint-
ment to Brook and somewhat of a surprise
to Kentland. With one township out, which
will not materially alter the result, Brook
received 1902 and Kentland 1.160. One OF
the great surprises was the lack of interest
taken in the northern townships. AT least
500 voters refused 10 go 10 the polls and
Morocco, the last contestant, cast her vote
almost solidly against removal Sixty-five
per cent. was required for removal, and
Brook will receive fraction over 80. There
was no Importation of voters and none of
the exciting scenes of the last election were
repeated. Under the requirements of Sec
ton IL Of the special act of the last Legis-
lature IL now becomes the duty of the COM
missioners to erect courthouse at Kent

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-.Will the Unit
ed States be forced into war with
China! 1t is thought that the question
will be determined today when the reply
of the Chinese government is received.
The message sent yesterday to Consul
General Goodnow is practically consid-
cred the ultimatum of our government.
The message recited the fact that the
present situation had grown intolerable.
1t charged the imperial authorities with
lack of good faith in protection of the
legationers who from Conger's dispatch
were again under FIRE and in immediate
danger, and moreover as far as known
here the imperial authorities of China
had made no effort to communicate with
and cooperate with the relief column
aud demand is made for complete COM
pliance with the conditions or the United
States will be forced to recede from the
present position of peaceful endeavor and
resort to force. The early reply demand
ed, 1t is thought, will stir up the imperial
government to immediate action and to-
day may determine the fate of China, for
war will result in its ultimate partition.

Insurgents Troublesome.

MANILA, July 10, via San Francisco
Aug. THE insurgents in the vicinity Of
Cagayan, on the island of Mindanao, are
becoming SO troublesome that it may be
necessary to augment the United States
forces stationed there by body of troops
from some other station. The insur.
gents, numbering, it is estimated, about
1000 in all, are fottifying the mountain
passes and are otherwise preparing to
give battle to our soldiers. Only recently
a detachment under Captain Miller Of
the Fortieth infantry had an exciting and
bloody experience with the natives near
Agnsan, about 10 miles from Cagayan.
In attempting to take his command
through a narrow defile, Captain Miller
enc untered such strong defenses that
his entire advance guard, numbering Id
men, were left in the power of the insur-
gents. Five Of this number eventually
escaped and reported that eight Of their
fellows were killed and one taken pris-
oner. Captain Miller was wounded in
the engagement which preceded the
abandonment of the advance. Captain
Elliott, leading reinforcements, was Sc
verely injured by being struck by ma
tive contrivance known as spear shooter.
Captain Elliott's men came across no less
than dozen of these ingenious weapons.
Both parties being without commanders.
the soldiers were obliged to retreat to
Cagayan. According to the latest ad-
vices, the insnrgent stronghold is still
untaken.

FIGHTING FOREST FIRES.
Organization to Save the Valuable White
Pine From the Fire now Raging.

Moscow, Idaho, Aug. 7.-The fire in
the white pine district, As miles east of
here is still raging, and has already
burned over 1000 acres, most of which is
government land, and considerable por-
ton of which had previously been burned
over. Strenuous efforts have been made
to control the fire, but with little avail.
The situation demanded immediate at
tention, and last night meeting was
held in the lobby of the Hotel Moscow, at
which were present county officials, citi-
zens Of Moscow, settlers in the threatened
district and members of the state land
board
At the meeting it was agre ed that the
state, the county and the settlers should
join i'll figh ting the fire, which should be
done methodically, and that work should
begin at once. The state land board
agreed to stand half of the expense, the
other half to be borne by the county and
the settlers. 1t was agreed to put ID men
to work immediately, the state furnish
ing seven, the county three and settlers
four. This number is to be increased or
decreased, as the exigencies of the case
may demand, the expense to be divided
proportionately. The work is to be con-
