SECRETARY HAcKETT's REPORT.

1t Covers Questions Relating to the
Islands of Guam and TutuilIa.
Washington, Nov. 20.-Assistant
Secretary of the Navy Hackett has
submitted his annual report covering
matters relating to the islands of
Guam and Tutuilla to the naval of
fee, the naval war college and num-
Der of other subjects coming under
his supervision.
Mr.. Hackett calls attention to the
annual report of Commander Seaton
Schroeder of Guam, which shows that
the sum raised by taxation during the
last year was $53,356, a gain over the
preceding year of $11,585. This was
used in the building of roads, repair
Of bridges and the support of schools.
The three projects of prime impor-
tance to Guam, says Commander
Schroeder, are education, good roads
and better water supply. In ref
erence to the situation in Guam Mr..
Schroeder says the general feeling of
satisfaction with the new. regime was
checked somewhat by the "detestable
spirit of lawlessness displayed by
part of the marine battalion"
There is a feeling that the marines
could be dispensed With entirely in
the island, and he says the little com
pany of insular artillery which ferns
the constabulary is ian excellent body
of respectful and reliable soldiers,
with whose support alone there could
be no hesitation in undertaking the
government of the island"
In his report for the island of Tu-
tuilla, Samoa, Commander Tilley says
that a revenue of $500 was raised
last year to defray the expenses of
the native government from contribu-
tions of corporations from the various
districts.
Mr.. Hackett announces that Com
mander Uriel Sebree is to assume
command of the naval station at Tu-
tuilla in place of Captain TilIey.

Two Lads Have Fatal Quarrel at
Charleston, S. c.
Columbia, S. c., Nov 20.-Edward
Younginger died here yesterday from
wound inflicted with a pocketknife
in the hand of his friend, w. J. Clay
ton, Jr.
The tragedy is tinged with an un-
usual sadness because of the extreme
youth of the lads, both of whom were
in their teens and on account Of the
friendship that had existed between
them up to the hour of the fatal quar-
rel.
Young Clayton is a nephew of DR..
Y. P. Clayton, former postmaster of
Columbia, and one of the most promi-
nent Republicans in South Carolina.
The boy was in his fathers store,
and hearing the money drawer bell
ring charged Younginger with having
opened it.
Younginger became furious, strik-
ing Clayton with an empty flask, and
cursed him. Clayton then stabbed
Younginger once with a knife, the
blade penetrating to the heart.
Before dying the young man beg
ged his relatives to intercede in Clay
toms behalf and prevent his prosecu-
ton. He assumed all blame for the
quarrel

COLONY OF CONSERVATIVES.
Scheme of the Rocky Mountain Indus
trial Sanitariun,

Denver, Colo, Nov. 2O.-The Rocky
Mountain Industrial Sanitarium, or
ganized by Denver professional and
business men last spring, is now in
successful operation.
On I0-acre tract, miles from Den
yer, Is or 20 patients in the early
stages C% consumption are under the
plans Of the promoters, virtually TAX
ing care of themselves. The rules of
the institution compel a continuous
outdoor life to be maintained sum-
mer and winter. Each patient is pro
vtded with a roomy tent, plenty of
warm clothing and blankets and a
small stove to be used in extremely
cold weather. Experience has proved
that with proper food and. clothing
and life in the open air and sunshine,
artificial heat is unnecessary and be-
comes absolutely unbearable to the
patients, who, without exception, are
gaining rapidly.
The hope of the physicians and 9th
ers back of the enterprise is to form
a great colony of all consumptives
who come to Denver and thus take
them off the streets of the city and
out of the hotels and boarding houses,
where they could never recover and
where they are a constant menace to
the public health.

OUTLAW BAND is WIPED OUT.
Last of Wild Blll's Notorious Gang
Meets Death.

Charleston, Nov 20.-Henry Daw-
son, desperate who was shot to
death at Red Top Sunday night while
trying to throw his wife into a well,
is the last member of Wild Bill's no
torious band of outlaws in that Sec
tiOn.
There were seven members of the
band. Wild Bill was recently killed
by posse which he had held at bay
for hours, and after his death the
gang continued it's depredations. What
is considered good work on the part
of the officers, however, has cleaned
out the bandits, and there was a pub
lie demonstration at Red Top yester-
day when 1t became known that Daw.
son was dead.
For months The strip of country
above Charleston had been terrorized
by the outlaws and numerous murders
were reported daily. Several attempts
were made to murder Magistrate
Strohecker, but he escaped. Red Tops
murder record is the worst in South
Carolina, but it is believed that peace
will prevail since the Wild Bill gang
has been wiped out.

CABLE LINE ACROSS
The PACIFIC OCEAN
Will Connect United States
With Philippines.
ESTIMATED COST is $4,000, 100,

Work Will Be Completed In About
Two Years-Messages Will Be
Transmitted In Nearly Four Hours
Less Time Than Required Now.
New York, Nov. 20.-Mr. George G.
Ward, first vice president of the Com
mercial Gable company, said in an in
terview when asked why the contract
for Pacific cable had not been award
cd to an American company:
"The Commercial Pacific Cable
Company would have been very happy
to give an American company it's con-
tract, but there is no company in the
United States that could, we felt. per-
form the work. They have not the
machinery and we could not afford to
have the work of laying the cable take
the form of an experiment. The Sill
yer Town company has been estab-
hshed for over 40 years and has laid
most Of the deep ocean cables through
out the world, so that it understands
perfectly just how the work should be
accomplished.
"The company has assured us that
they will complete the cable and have
it here in seven months. Just as soon
as this section, extending to the Sand
wich islands, is complete and out of
the way we shall commence work on
another section that will connect the
Hawaiian islands with the Philip
pines.
Our station there will probably be
on the island of Luzon and near or in
Manila. We have not decided on that
point yet, nor have we fixed our
schedule of rates, but l may say, in
speaking Of rates, that we shall re-
duce them to reasonable figure. We
expect to have the work completed In
about two or three years. The esti-
mated cost of the undertaking is about
$15,000,0 900, but we have capitalized our
company at only $3,000,000 because we
prefer to increase our capitalization
as we proceed rather than use such
a large figure at the beginning"
Mr.. Ward said it was expected that
the new cable would allow of the
transmission of messages in nearly
four hours less time than required
at present.
