said he hoped the cement pavement would

thought the present condition of some OF

Manila, Aug. 11.-Governor Taft,
speaking at banquet given to-day by
the Californians in Manila to Repre-
sentative julius Kahn of San Francis
co, said that in order to properly de-
velop the Philippines, satisfactorily

sion of Congress. He asserted also
that laws prohibiting the sale of pub
lie lands and timber, laws providing
for the incorporation of American
banks, and laws granting franchises
and mining rights We're frequently de-
manded.
Other members of the Philippine
Commission spoke in the same vein.
General Chaffee described the achieve
ments of California's rgiment.
The commission have granted $685.
600 to each province where cattle have
been killed by rinderpest, and this
sum will be expended in giving work
to those who need it, with preference
for outlay upon public roads. The
money Is to be returned in five years.
General Davis expects to complete
the work of turning over the duties of
provost marshal this week and he will
then assume command of the troops
on the island of Mindanao and in the
Jolo archipelago.
General Greedy, chief signal officer,

bers of the commission with reference
to turning over the telegraph system
General Chaffee has received from
Lieutenant Herbert l.. Evans, Forty

taking of Mindanao. Lieutenant
Evans says the insurgents fled to the
mountains, but they must soon sur.
render, as they have no means of es-
cape.

KITCHENER'S PROCLAMATION
TO DANISH HOSTILE BURGHERS

London, Aug. PA parliamentary
paper has been issued containing the
proclamation issued by Lord Kitchen
er August 9TH, in accordance with in
structions from the imperial govern
ment, the governments of Cape Colony
and Natal concurring. The proclama-
tion says:
'All commandants. field cornets and
leaders of armed bands, being burgh-
ers of the late republics and still en-
gagged in resisting his majesty's
forces. whether in the Orange colony
or the Transvaal. or other portion of
his majesty's South African domin-
ions, and all members of the late
governments of the Orange Free State
and Transvaal shall, unless they sur
render before September 18th, be per-
manently banished from South Africa.
The cost of the maintenance of the
families of all burghers in the field
who have not surrendered by Septem-
Der 10Th shall be recoverable from
such burghers and shall be charged
on their property, removable and i'm
movable, in the two colonies"
The preliminary correspondence
shows that the proclamation is based
upon suggestions which the govern
ment of Natal forwarded to Colonial
Secretary Chamberlain July oath, and
the date. September 18th. was recon-
mended by Lord AIilner.
The reasons of the government for
the proclamation of Lord Kitchener
of August 18th are set forth in pream-
BILE to the proclamation, as follows:
whereas, the late Orange Free
State and South African Republic
have been annexed to his majesty's
dominions. and
whereas, his majesty's forces are
and have been for some considerable
time in complete possession of the
seats of the government of both the
aforesaid territories, with their pub
lie offices and the whole machinery
of administration, as well as of all the

SAN FRANCISCO BULLION
ROBBER MAKES A CONFESSION

San Francisco, Aug. 11.-Jack Win
ters. who was arrested for the Selby
Smelling Works robbery. has confessed
the crime and SO far $13O.OOO worth of
bullion has been recovered from the
bay, where he had sunk it. For three
days the detectives had tried all sorts
of intimidation to make Winters con-
fess but their threats apparently had
no effect upon him. Finally he asked
to see Superintendent Won der Ropp of
the works, who, he said, was the only
friend he had. In his conversation
with Won der Ropp Winters manner
indicated that he knew where the gold
had been hidden. Won der Ropp told
him that they had strong case
against him and that he would be sent
to prison for thirty years. He said:
You will be an old man when you
get out and it will do you no good to
hide the gold. We know it is hidden
in the water near the works. and Wen
search every inch. You may be sure
that the gold will be found before you
get out of prison.
Winters finally weakened and told
Won der Ropp that he had taken the
gold and would take him to the spot
where it was hidden. The criminal,
in company with Superintendent Ropp
and a force of detectives, left on Il tug
last night for Crockett. There they
waited all night for low tide. Winters
pointed out the place at the end of the
railroad wharf, behind the coal bunk
ers, at the beginning of the Vallejo
ferry slip. AT that point at low tide
the mud is about four feet deep, COW
cred by n foot of water. When the
tug first reached Crockett, Winters
pointed out the spot in the water
where he said he had thrown the gold.
Superintendent Won der Ropp marked

the place on the wharf and the tug
steamed away to wait for low tide.
This morning Winters himself got into
the mud and water up to his neck and
for an hour and a half groped for the
missing bullion. Up to 10 o'clock $111,-
900 worth had been recovered. This
includes the four bags of fine gold.
Winters had put some of the bars in
bags. He said that one of the bags had
broken and some small bars had
dropped out. 1t is now only n
question of careful search to find
the rest of the $2SO,OOO. Winters
claims that lie did the job all
alone. He says that he made
fourteen trips from the vault to the
wharf, from which he dropped the
gold. The smelter officials, however,
are positive that he received assist
ance from someone. The detectives
think that his story that he did 1t all
himself is correct.
In view of the fact that promises of
clcmency were made Winters in con-
sideration OF his unearthing the gold
it is thought that his punishment will
be light.
Detective Gibson is quoted as saying
that it was promised Winters by
President Ralston of the Selby Smelt-
ing Works that he should not only be
unprosecuted, but should receive $780,
600.
winters can not be prosecuted"
said Detective Gibson, for there is no
evidence against him. All that has
been drawn from him was secured by
the detectives under promise that it
would not be used against him. Un-
der such circumstances it would be
extremely difficult to secure u convic-
ton"

CORNERSTONE LAID BY
COLONEL ROOSEVELT

Colorado Springs, Colo, Aug. II.
Yesterday, in the presence of a vast
throng, the corner stone of the new
$S5.OOO Y. NJ. c. A. building was laid
by Vice President Roosevelt, many
prominent officials of the city and
state assisting.
Franklin Il. Brook opened the cere-
mony and Rev. DIR. Edward Braislin
of the First Baptist Church, pro-
nounced the openeing prayer and invo-
cation. Ex-Governor Adams of Pueb-
, 10 was then introduced as the orator
Of the day.
He stated that manhood was the
best asset of the natiOn-mOre than
our countless resources, and that 1t Is
the moral power of an intelligent
Christian that makes our flag. Aside
from the home there is no institution
that does more for growing manhood
than the Y. NJ. G. A. all over the coun-
try. He even declared that it would
be justifiable to appropriate n portion
or the revenue money received, to fos-
ter and aid such institutions. He be-
lieved that n Y. NJ. G. A. building
placed in every city in the country
would do much to solve the problem Of
the city.
At the conclusion of his speech
which was heartily applauded, Colonel
Roosevelt was introduced, and as he
stepped into view. roar of greeting
went up from thousands.
This the vice president acknowl.
edged with n smile and bow. Owing
to severe cold, which rendered
speech difficult, Ills address was ex-
tremely brief and informal. He said
in part:
What l have to say this afternoon

The play" of intellect. to use a
vacation pun, constitutes the delight
of learning, and is often its truest in
spiration. A young girl at hotel
table, some years ago, undertook to
quiet restless child by making for
him little figures which she modelled
from bread crumbs rubbed between
her fingers. The rapidly growing pro-
cession of Noah's-ark animals at
tracted the attention of a gentleman
opposite. 1t was the sculptor Thomas
Ball, who afterward told the girl she
had unusual talent, took her to his
own studio, and taught her to model
in clay and afterward to work in
marble. An interesting side-Iight on
the pretty incident is that the young
girl had nodded her figures undis-
turbed by tableful of witnesses, and,
on the other hand. Mr.. Ball seated her
in the studio with her back toward
his own chair, because he could not
possibly work while anybody looked
