Kansas City, Mo, Feb. 13.-TwC
lads OF l. and 16, who We're arrested
here last night with $500 in gold
coin in their possession, confessed
to-day that the money was part OF
$1,000 which they stole from Fred
Buechert, a secondhand dealer OF

lis, wired Chief Hayes tins morning
to hold the boys, that hewas coming
with requisition papers.
The boys gave theirnames as CIar-
ence Gordon and Roy Riley, but it
is believed that they are Clarence
Gait and Charles Rice, Of I1dianapo-
lis. The boys said at first that they
came here from the east. \ week ago
they were in Terre Haute. Ind. and
while walking one day near the Van
dalia and Wabash bridge they saw
two men engaged in burying some
thing. As soon as the men had dis

Mrs. Nation. Enthusiasm ran higl

in the lead the women advanced to
the nearby saloon of Dan Grimes.
Without warning half a hundred
bricks were hurled against the glass
front. The inmates scrambled

Meanwhile the women had gained

mirror and emptied all the bottles
on the floor. Faucets in whisky bar
rels were turned open and the liquor
and wines were several inches deep.
Grimes rushed into the saloon and
choked Mrs. Snyder almost into in
sensibility. Her friends We're quickly
to the rescue, however, and with
clubs and with the bricks that were
left beat him almost to death.

by Congress.

Washington, Feb. 13.-Accordinc
to the present plans of the war de-
partment, the army is to be recruited
to its full authorized strength of
100000 men. The regular army
now consists of about $1,000 men.
including the troops in the Philip
pines, SO that the new establishments
are limited to about 10000 men.
1t is realizee by the officials that it
will take long time to secure so
many men. but the full machinery OF
the army is being extorted in that
direction, with gratifying results.
over 300 recruits were obtained last
week and it is expected that much
better progress will be made when
all the recruiting agencies are in full
operation.

OBJECT TO PUNISHMENT.
Condemned Chinese Leaders Protest
Against Extreme Penalties.

Pekin, Feb. 13.-At least three of
the Chinese to whom Emperor kwang
Su sent a choice of suicide in pursu-
ance of the demand of the powers for
their punishment with death have
declined to comply, and the Emperor
has withdrawn his request that they
should destroy themselves. His
Majesty now telegraphs Prince Ching
that when he agreed TO the terms of
tie Joint note the latter only requir-
ed that the punishment should fit
the crime. and he argues that if the
worst OF the guilty deserve death.
the Others should be banished.
The foreign ENJOYS. on the contra
t., say that even those who are least
guilty deserve death. and as there j.
no worse punishment, all must suffer
that penalty, although If China
should ask to make distinctions n
garding the crimes, she can sentence
the worst either to quartering or to
some other form Of Chinese exaeu-
ton.

CUBA TOLC SHE
MUST ACCEDE.
The President Makes Demand
for Certain Concessions.
NAVAL STATIONS WANTED.
NAVAL STATIONS WANTED.
Monroe Doctrine Must Be Recognized
in Constitution.

Washington, Feb. 13.-As a result
OF a conference between President
Mckinley and Secretary Root supple
mental instructions We're sent to Gen
Wood to call the attention OF the
Cuban constitutional convention to
the Importance and necessity OF IN
Guiding the requirements of this gov
ernment in the constitution. 1t Is
demanded that the Monroe doctrine
shall be recognized; that Cuba snail
not mortgage the island to any for
eirn power: that the United States
be given the right to establish naval
stations at Havana, Guantanamo,
Nipe, CienfuegOs and the right to
maintain at least a part OF the pres
ent military force in the island, and
that the United States shall assist
Cuba in maintaining q stable gov
eminent.
On account OF the situation III Gu
ba there has been renewed talk Of the
proba biiity of an extra session OF
congress. The president has Telter-
ated his desire to have congress take
action i'll relation to Cuba at the
earliest possible moment, and adVices
received from Gen. Wood within the
last two days are said to be OF such
character ar to make an extra SEES
sion practically Imperative.
The Cuban planters now in Wash |
ington trying to have the duty taken |
off tobacco imported from Cuba into |
the United States and to obtain |
other notifications OF the tariff III
favor of Cuban products, have been
advised to go home and tell their |
people it is impossible to grant them
any such favors, because until Gu
ban government has been organized |
n reciprocity treaty cannot be nego |
tiated, while Cuba has nothing to |
Civ in return for concessions, and |
there does not seem to be n DISPOSE |
ton on the part of anyone in Cuba |
to grant any concessions to the Unit
Ell States.
An effort is being made to use this
opportunity to open the eyes of Gu
bans to the necessity OF favorably
considering the demands Of the Unit
ell States as to the provisions of the
new constitution.
Senator Morgan, chairman OF the
committee on interoceanic canals,
agrees that it is necessary for the
United States to retain cOaling and
naval stations in Cuba. InfOrma-

West Indies Is ports under control
OF Great Britain, four under France,
one under the Netherlands, two under
the Dutch and two under Denmark
OF the British ports, the most inn
portant are on the islands of Ber-
muda and Jamaica. To offset these
stations on the southern side of Cuba

the necessity of this
country retaining possession of them
