Instructs Envoy Re arding Punish
nIent and Indemnity.
Secretary of State Hay has sent in
structions TO Minister Conger relative to
the policy he shall pursue in the settle
ment of all the features of the Chinese
questions. This was the result of 4 cabs
met meeting.
Ala E Hcsiser is to urge his colleagues not
to attempt to compel China to do the i'm
possible in the matter of the execution of
high Chinese officials; with respect to in
demnity, he will endeayor to reach an
agreement with his colleagues as to the
amount to be demanded, to decide upon
agreement to have the question of distri-
button referred to The Hague court. He
is also to urge the preparation of a gen
eral agreement respecting the CONNER
cial relations to exist between China and
foreign powers.
The impression is gaining ground in of
fetal circles that four more Chinese Off
Gals will be added to the list TO be exc
cuted, making eight in all who will suffer
the death penalty. The United States,
Russia and Japan are vigorously oppos-
ing the demand of Great Britain and
Germany for the execution of Prince
Tuan, Gen. Tung Fuh Slang and Duke

AGAINST THE HUMAN HOG.
Chicago to Punish Those Who Spit in
Public Places.

The GoldZier anticipating ordinance
which became a law in Chicago on Mon
day prohibits splitting on sidewalks, in
public conveyances and in public places,
such as theaters, halls and concert rooms.
IN the health department the ordinance
is hailed with delight, because it is said
that the bacillus of tuberculosis and pos
sibly pneumonia is carried through the
air after the sputum is dried. The meas
ure originated i'll the health department.
"The enforcement of such an ordinance
would prove of great benefit to the peo-
pie of Chicago in the matter of health"
said Health Commissioner Reynolds. 1T
has been proved conclusvely that the
bacillus of tuberculosis is carried through
the air from dried sputum. 1t is also
possible the germs of pneumonia are
waited about in the same way. Whether
fines are inflicted or not the fact that the
ordinance is in force will focus the at
tention Of the people to the fact that
terrible diseases may be transmitted
through sputum and the evil will be CON
siderably abated With a city ordinance
behind him the street car conductor can
suppress the street car hog who makes
life disgusting for thousands of decent
citizens. Women's skirts sweep up the
sputum from the sidewalks and the street
cars. This dries on the skirts and a ter
rible disease may be introduced into
family in this way. If the ordinance is
observed there will be less need for doe
tors than there is at the present time"

DIVIDED ON CUBAN QUESTION.


SorIe Congress men Favor Protector.
ate, Others Free Sovereignty.
According to a Washington correspon-
dent members of the Senate and House
have been discussing for some time the
question as to whether the United States
shall permit Cuba to be free or insist I'D.
ON the exercise of a protectorate, and
opinion is widely divided Some members
think that under the resolution passed
in 1888 the United States pledged itself
to give Cuba full sovereignty and that
it cannot now exercise protectorate I'M
less Cubans invite the United States to
exercise such authority Senators and
Representatives, however, agree that the
Cubans in preparing a constitution which
in every detail ignores the existence of
the United States have shown themselves
unmindful of their obligations to this
country.
Congress does not want to act on the
Cuban constitution at this session. Pre-
dictions of trouble with the Cubans be-
fore their constitution is approved by this
country and their stable government set
up are freely made. In this resolution
the United States disclaims any dispo-
sition to exercise Sovereignty over the
islands. At the present moment this is
the stone wall against which the gov
eminent will run.
Members of the committee on foreign
relations are positive in the opinion that
Congress has no jurisdiction over Cuba
in the face of the joint resolution rec
ogniZing the independence of Cuba, ap-
proved ADril 20 1898 What tho Drocj
dent is being advised to do is to lock up
the copy of the Cuban constitution when
it reaches here and intimate to the Gu
bans that they cannot have an indepen-
dent government until they manifest
disposition to protect the interests of the
United States in their constitution.

TEXAS STREAM OF OIL
SURPRISES EVERYTHING IN Pc
TROLEUM HISTORY.
A Great Lake of Precious Fluid Sur
rounds the WeI1-The State Is Oil
Crazy-Thousands of Dollars Ready
for Investment.

Excitement is still intense throughout
the State of Texas over the remarkable
discovery of oil at Beaumont, which is
eighty miles east of Houston. This is
certainly the most wonderful discovery
in the history of the petroleum industry
and it is not surprising that the State has
gone oil mad and that everyone with
money to invest wants to buy derrick
and set drillers at work Competent
judges have estimated this flow to be
anywhere from 10000 to 10000 feet per
day; the largest flow ever known before
was 5000 feet, the product of West
Virginia well. The stream of petroleum
that gushes forth from the bowels of the
earth. rises to a height of 120 feet. At
its base it is six inches in diameter at
its apex it is as many feet.
Lake of Petroleum.
About the we'll is a great lake of pc
troleum, the output of the well since it
was brought i'm No way TO control
the great flow has yet been found, and
the petroleum falls into the lake. which
has been constructed about it, by running
a ploW through the ground and then
throwing up a levee. The first lake was
too small, and another twice the size of
the frs. r2. built, and tbs, too, will be
too small also III a short time, Men are
now working night and day building iron
tanks TO hold the oil. and as soon az O
few of them are finished they will be

81 otltis.
The man who dug the well is Capt \.
W. Lucas, who for more than two years
has been experimenting about Beaumont
in an endeavor to locate the stream.
which he WIS certain existed in that Vi
cinity. Others before him had been con
vinced that there was an immense de-
post of oil, but they lacked the pluck
or the capital to find it. Lucas kept
steadily at Work. He had ample capital
behind him; men who trusted to his cx-
perience, and who had as great faith in
his judgment as he had himself. After
boring a number of holes, which produc-
ed a little oil AMI 4 considerable amount
of salt water, he finally struck the exact
spot, and when his drill pipe had gone
down some 600 feet he struck oil. That
is a slang phrase that is familiar to ev-
eryOne of the present generation. "Struck
oil.' 1t sounds rich and expresses riches.
Capt. Lucas struck oil with vengeance;
he struck more oil than was deemed DOS
sible, even by himself. When the flow
began he estimated it at probably 5000

INDIAN UPRISING is QuELLED.
Warning Snakes Return Home-WiI1
Arrest 200.

A Muskogee, l. T., special says that
the Creek Indian uprising has been
quelled and after the capture of their
leaders the Snake bands have laid down
their arms and gone to their homes. Tom
Tiger. a Greek light horseman, was put
in Jail for posting notices ordering white
men out Of the country. Enough infor-
nation has been gathered TO secure the
arrest of about 200 full-bloods on
charge of treason against the United
States government. Statements made by
Bear Trail and a few other full-bloods
show that the Indians had in mind a
great conspiracy which embraced the full
bloOds of the five civilized tribes. In a
month more every white mans house in
the Greek country would have been burn
ed but for discovery of the plot.

Hawaiian Delegate Is Styled Big
amist and Traitor.
Quite a sensation was created in the
congressional committee on privileges
and elections Friday by a committee of
Hawaiians, who charged Robert w. Viii
COX, the Hawaiian delegate in Congress,
with treason, and submitted several let
tiers by him showing that he has been
giving aid and sympathy to Aguinaldo
and his insurgents in the Philippine Isl
ands. The following are sample extracts:
II am already made up my mind,' he
says, ito join with you in your country
against the Americans" Between Gen.
Aguinaldo's determination and myself it
would be very little chances left to the in
vaded army of the United States to con
quer your country" Tell Gen. Aguinaldo
l am already given my services for your
country" Il am thinking to go to the
Philippine Islands and give my assist
snce to Aguinaldo against the invaders
and hypocrited yankees, the carpet bag
ged politician Otis" ut is my duty to
fight against them and support the indie
pendence of the FilipinOs." In fighting
and destroying the United States infu-
ence in the East | would have glory and
honor and my work would be appreciat
ed by the Filipinos, by the Chinese and
japanese and Arabs. 1t is my great folly
to lose all these chances"
1t was also asserted that Wilcox was
found guilty of treason against Hawaii
in 1895 and sentenced to death, but the
penalty was committed to the payment of
fine and Imprisonment. Charges have
already been made against Wilcox for
bigamy. His first wife. an Italian prin-
cess, claims that there has never been
legal separation
