IS DEwET DEAD OR ALIVE?
Several Conflicting Reports In South Africa
About the Famous Boer
General.

Durham, Natal, Oct. 21.-Gen. De-
Vets recent inactivity has produced
the impression that he is either dead
'or incapacitated through illness or
wounds. According to a letter from
Pretoria Boer recently wrote to a
friend there relating the hardships
suffered by the Beers in the field, es-
pecially from a lack of surgeons.
-'DeWet, for example," wrote this
Boer, suffered the most terrible
agony before he died. He was wound
ed in the shoulder by splinter from
shell and the wound gangrened in
consequence of dressing with dirty
rags"
Five Beers recently captured at diff
'ferent places said DeWet was dead,
but each gave a different version of
his death. Against these reports is
"A statement of Pet DeVilliers, the
field cornet taken prisoner in the
northeastern part of the Orange River
colony, who says that on the morn
ing of his capture he took breakfast
with Gen. DeWet.

GUARDIANSHIP TO CEASE.
Commissioner Jones Says the Government
Policy Hereafter VIII BE to Mako
Indians More Self. Reliant.

Lake Mohonk, n. Y, Oct. 19.-Wil-
liam A. Jones, commissioner of In
dian affairs, was the principal speak
er ut last evenings session of the
Indian conference. He said that the
most important step taken by his de-
partment during the year was Sc
curing the record of Indian births,
marriages and deaths. In working
for Indian reform grave obstacles
were encountered. The indiscriminate
issue of rations, unwise appropriation
of money and the leasing of allot-
ments were some of the obstacles.
The schools gave the Indians too
many things, including not a few lux
uries, for little or nothing. Not earn
ing their education, in too many cases
they failed to appreciate it. The In
dams were hardly more self-reliant
than they were quarter of century
ago. The time had come to make a
vigorous move to end such guardian
ship, and to throw the Indian on his
own resources.

constituting the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition commission of Kansas, ar
rived in the city yesterday for the
purpose of selecting site in the fair
district and to close up matters at
once. In the afternoon the gentle
men boarded the special car Electra"
and, accompanied by members of the
directorate, visited Forest park. The
commission viewed the land carefully,
and finally expressed preference for
four acres contiguous to the prospec.
tive sites of the Illinois and Missouri
buildings. This tract will probably
be assigned to Kansas.
Mr.. Waggener, the youngest mem'
Der of the commission and the only
one who does not hold an Office in
it, said: eve shall have exhibits in
every hall and use the state structure
for q presentation of the historical
features of Kansas and as n reception
house. 1t will contain pictures of our
men of state and national promise,
rare bric-a-brac, divans, fire rugs and
other luxurious appointments. 1t will
be made as inviting and home-like as
possible. 1t will cost $4,000 or S75, 900.
We shall, upon our return home, offer
n premium to the architects of the
state for the most original design, ne
we want something entirely different
from anyone else. All of the 105 coun.
ties in Kansas will be asked to con
tribute to the fund and we shall eX.
pect generous response. They will
also be requested to send displays
which will be arranged in a separate
group. We shall have no difficulty in
raising S250,000, rs the people all over
the state are enthusiastic over this
fair. They believe that it will be the
greatest the world has ever known
and probably the last for long time.
Atchison county alone will contribute
$500 to the fund. Our cattle show
will be one of the features of the fair.
Four members of our commission are
members Of the Legislature, and they
will leave nothing undone that our
state may be properly represented"
Mr.. Waggener intimated that there
was a probability of the building be-
ing made permanent.

DISASTER AVERTED.
Lieut.. Bainss Prevents Another
Slaughter Of Americans.
Reinforcements Rushed to Samar - Hard
Fighting Anticipated Officers from 9th
or Provinces Supposed to Be Pacified Tell
of Natives Delight ut Our Disasters.

Manila, Oct. 21.-Owing to the vigil
lance of Lieut.. Thomas NJ. Baines, Jr.,
of the Ninth United States infantry,
another slaughter of American troops
by insurgents has been averted. 1t
seems that Lieut.. Baines discovered
a prisoner reentering II cell at ar
biga. island of Samar, where several
were confined, through hole that
had been made in the wall. An in
vestigation showed n plan to fill the
Jail with bolomen and to call the
guard, which would be necessary to
get the door open, and then to at
tack the garrison. 1t also developed
that the instigators were priest
and the presidente. both of whom
have been arrested, together with
several other prominent persons.
Other attempts have been discov-
cred, but fortunately frustrated ut
Pambujan and other points in Samar.
Several persons have been arrested in
connection with these.
Reinforccmcnts are being rushed
to Samar. Three hundred and thirty
marines under Lieut.. Col. Mancil c.
Goodrich, have gone there on board
the cruiser New York, and two bat
talions of the Twelfth infantry will
start Immediately for the same desti-
nation.
Officers from other provinces that
were supposed to be pacified have re-
Gently arrived in Manila, and they
say that the news of American disas-
tiers spreads like wildfire among the
natives, who scarcely attempt to con-
zeal their delight.
The Manila constabuiary discovered
a large quantity of steel wagon
springs, which were being shipped to
various districts. Investigation
showed that these were to be used
in manufacturing bolos.
The troops in Samar anticipate
hard fighting. Brig. Gen. Jacob II.
Smith, who is in command. has visit
ed most of the posts and instructed
the commanders that the insurrec-
tion must he hammered out and
Gen. Lukban. the insurgent leader,
captured. Already the movement of
troops has begun. 80 y ~ -
Gen. Lacuna, who surrendered last
May, has complained to Gen. Chat
fee that the terms upon which he
and his force surrendered have not
been respected by the americans.
He exhibits document signed by
himself and Gen. Frederick Funston
in which he and his force are granted
immunity in respect of all acts COM
mitted contrary to the laws of war.
Since this document was executed
several of Lacnna's officers and men
have been tried, condemned and SEN
fenced to death for killing American
prisoners. Gen. Funston says that
when it was signed he gave Lacuna
orally to understand that the killing
of American prisoners was excepted.
Lacuna admits that something was
said on the subject, but says no
thorough understanding was reached
and he considers the written agree
ment binding.
