BELIEVE DEwET DEAD.
Long Silence Of the Boer General Explained In
That Way.

Durham, Oct. 2l.--General DeWet's
recent inactivity has produced the inn
preston among military men that he is
either dead or incapacitated through
illness or wounds. According to letter
from Pretoria, prominent Boer recently
wrote q friend there relating the terrible
hardships suffered by the Beers in the
held, especially from lack of surgeons.
"DeWet, for example," wrote the
Boer, Suffered the most terrible agony
before he died. He was wounded in the

the wound gangrened in consequence of
its being dressed with rags"
Five Beers captured at different places

NEARING THE END.


Only Dozen Witnesses Yet 10 Be Heard In
the schlsy Case.
Washington, Oct. 21.-It is generally
expected that this will be the last week
Of the Schley court. Raynor has only
about dozen witnesses yet to examine.
the last Of whom will be Schley himself.
Following the admiral's testimony Lemly
will doubtless call few witnesses in re-
buttal, after which the case will be sub
mitted to the court.
One Of the witnesses who testified last
week made an unimportant correction.
Lieut.. Wells, Schley's flag secretary dur
ing the war, was called and saidshe had
no recollection Of the receipt of any in
formation from Capt. Cotton OF the Har-
ward, May "a, that positively required
Schley to remain at Santiago
Wells showed by letter press book
that after Schley had cablud his "Much
to be regretted, i cannot obey orders"
dispatch to the navy department, he had
sent the original by mail. The inference
was that the department, when it issued
the official document last winter, pre-
ferred to print twice translated dis
patches rather than the original. Wells
said that Schley during battle was fear
less and self-possessed. i'sl1

Gen. ElwelI 5. Otis Discusses the Campaign
in Samar,


Chicago, Oct. 19.-"The island of Sa-
mar is the worst country ever CAM
paigned over," said Gen. Elweli s. Otis
tonight. "It is mountainous and cut up
by deep rivers and rushing torrents.
There are no roads, and the troops are
compelled to cut their way through the
heavy underbrush. In this way the ma
tives creep up close to a detachment and
either bolo the men or shoot and escape
into the long grass and vegetation with
out danger.
"Kukban and about $50 refugee Taga-
los are the instigators of these surprises.
Driven ont of the southern provinces of
Luzon, Kukban and his followers have
gone to Samar. They engage the aid of
the bolomen on promises of easy victo-
ries and plenty of loot. A few lessons
such as that of yesterday will soon disa-
buse the minds of the bolomen of the
ease of the victory, and such engage
ments will cease"

Episcopal Deputies.
San Francisco, Oct. 16.-The trouble
some question of marriage and divorce
was set at rest for another three years
today by the action of the house Of dep
uties of the triennial episcopal conven-
tion in rejecting both Of the proposed
canons on the subject, which were passed
by the house of bishops. The greatest
fight of the convention has been over
section 4 of canon 36, virtually forbidding
the remarriage of divorced person by
priest of the church. This had passed
the house of bishops and had been adopt
ed by yea and nay vote in committee
of the whole of the house Of deputies.
When the committee rose and reported
its work to the house another and decis-
i've vote was taken, not only onthe trou-
blesome fourth section, but on the entire
canon, which was rejected AZ whole.
Canon 81, which provides for the disci-
plining Of persons marrying again after
teing divorced, met with similar fate.

REvELING IN COIN.
The Pleasant Pastime of q wealthy
Merchant Who Went
Insane

A Boston merchant of great wealth,
believing that certain symptoms indi-
Gated that he would become insane,
consulted a specialist, and under his
sdvice became an inmate of a private
asylum. For IL years his recreation
vas the piling up of gold coins and then
knocking them over, says Youths Com.
panion. At times he washed his hands
in gold eagles and half eagles. At the
md of the long seclusion he returned
to his counting-ro and in IL months
confirmed the thoroughness of his re-
.overy by making $4,000 He died of
Fellow fever in Cuba, where he had
zone to look after his sugar planta-
ton.
A similar passion for handling gold
.oin is now and then exhibited by men
who suddenly become rich. George Au-
gustus Sa1a, in his Life and Adven-
.ures," tells of a London journalist who
speculated in railroad stocks. His first
venture Melted him $4,000. Drawing it
n gold, he repaired to hotel, emptied
the bags of gold in the bed and went
20 sleep literally in the sands of Pac-
toIus. The man was so crazed by his
good fortune that he felt pleasure in
reveling in golden bath.
Paganini, the wonderful violinist,
when he received the proceeds of his
:oncerts-he insisted on being paid in
gold-used to wash his hands in SOW
ereigns.
A French novelist, Soulie, wrote a
book entitled "The Memoirs of the
Devil" It took; the publisher paid
him for the first volume $4,000 in
gold. The author carried the coin to
his bedroom, poured it into foot-bath,
and enjoyed for half an hour the excite
ment of moving his feet to and fro in
a bath of gold coins, smoking, mean
while, the biggest of Havanas..
The love of money is one of the dan
