The telegram sent to Macarthur
expressing the appreciation of the
president and secretary Of war over
the successful expedition of General
Funston also contained instructions
to General Macarthur. The nature of
these instructions is not made public,
but it is thought they related to
Aguinaldo. The position of the gov
ernment regarding the insurgent pris-
oner is at present the same as toward
other Filipino prisoners, whether
they have voluntarily surrendered to
the American troops or been captured
in battle. The proclamation of Gen
eral Macarthur, the instructions of
the president to the Taft commission,
and the addresses of that commission
to the people of the Philippines cover
the case of Aguinaldo. Under these
various communications the people of
the Philippines, who have been in

Aguinaldo had not placed himself
in position to be offered any terms
by the United States under any of
the proclamations or instructions gov.
erning the Philippines. No attempt
will be made to bargain with him
and he will first have to accept the
sovereignty of the United States and
also show that he comes within the
terms of the amnesty offered before
he could even be offered position
under the government, if it seems de-
sirable to use him in governme entail
capacity.

Kinley is going to take the longest
journey ever made by president of
the United States. He had not
thought Of an extended tour of the
country when he first accepted the
invitation to attend the launching of
the battleship, at the Union Iron
works, but what was originally in
tended to be straightaway journey
to San Francisco and return has
grown now to a trip which will belt
almost the entire United States and
will involve at least rs, 600 miles of |
travel
The president, on his special train,
will leave Washington on Monday,
April 30. He will probably return to
Washington about June 10, after hav
ing been in at least thirty of the
forty five stntes in the Union, and |
two, if not three of the territories.
The trip is to be in no sense a
speech making tour, it being the
president g desire as far ms possible,
to avoid addressing the crowds which
will congregate at the various places
at which he will stop. Some set
speeches already are arranged for but
the president will make no platform
speeches. Another feature of the trip
will be the substitution of o drive
through city for a public RECEIPT ion
The trip will be arranged so that
there will be no travelling on Sunday.

Ing the greater part OF Texas. Portions
OF the middle and south Atlantic states
continue to suffer from excessive
moisture. but favorable temperatures
have been experienced In these dis
tricts and AFRO In the Pacific const,
where the weex was cooler than usual.
The outlook for corn Ia less favorable
than at the close OF the previous week.
In Nebraska, Kansas, oklahoma and
Missouri early corn IL practically ruin

these states, lnte corn would probably
make half crop or less. The condi-
ton OF the crop In Iowa is more IA.

states, md copious rains with moder.

rs THE BENDER FAMILY
NOW IN COLORADOG

Topeka, Kan. July 2i.-Denvet
News Special.)-Governor Stanley has
granted a reQuisition on the governor
OF Colorado for four persons who are
believed by reputable citizens of Mont,
gomery and Labette counties to be the
notorious Benders. The atiidavits upon
which the requIsition was granted
were made by Il. ii. Dack, 7. B. Smith,
v. A. Monyhnnd and NJ. Il. Sparks,
who went to Colorado especially to see
the four suspected persons. They de-
clare that while without further In.
quiry they are not prepared to swear
positively that they are the persons
wanted, they firmly believe them to he
so.
The reQuisltions name four agents to
receive the prisoners from the Colo
RADIO authorities, but only Ed L. Bur
ton, n lawyer of oswego, has gone to
Fort Collins. The other three are to
follow II Burton Is satisfied that the
suspects really are the Benders.
In 1872 the Benders lived In Labette
county, Kansas. near Cherryvale. The
family consisted OF William Bender.
aged about sixty; his wife, aged about
fifty-tive; then Kate, aged twenty-five,
and John, aged perhaps twenty-three.
IInte and John were children OF Will
iam Bender by a former wife. Their
house was of frame, 1Gx2O feet, and
fronted north.
There was door Mt either end, and
the room was divided by n canvas par.
tition. drawn tightly over upright
scantlings. This partition was the
death tnp. The victim was decoyed
to a seat close against the canvas, and
Kate did the rest. Their victims were
travellers through the then wild coun.
try, who stopped Mt the Bender home
for food and shelter.
Every man they killed had horse.
but only the two animals the family
originally took to the farm We're found
after the flight. The horses. II is be-
lieved. were run out of the country by
confederates.
The deed that drove the Benders to
flight was the murder of DIR. York Of
Independence. DIR. York had been to
Fort Scott, and was returning to his
home. when the Benders decoyed him
into their slaughter pen and killed him.
HIS brother, Colonel A. NJ. York. Of
Fort Scott Instituted a search, which
led to the Bender home. but the muir.

CONSUMPTION WILL
BE STAMPED OUT

London. July IA feature of yes
terdny's session of the British Con-
gress on tuberculosis was DIR. Robert
Kochs paper, which was listened 10
with the deepest Interest by big gath
ering In st. James hall.
Lord Lister professor OF surgery In
the Glasgow and Edinburgh universe
ties) introduced the noted German pro-
fessor to the assembly with few
complimentary remarks
During his address DIR. Koch said
his experiments hns satisfied him that
human tuberculosis and bovine tuber-
culosis were reradically different diseases
and that he had amply demonstrated
that cattle could not be infected with
human tuberculosis. The counter
proposition that human beings were
not liable to Infection from bovine
tuberculosis was hard to prove, the
doctor said. owing to the difficulty Of
experimenting on human subjects, but
personally he wns satisfied such was
the case. and he recited at length post
mortem evidence supporting this be-
lief. DIR. Koch said II this point were
conceded It remained to determine the
chief source of contngion.
Continuing. he said that human I'M
munity to bovine Infection disposed OF
the belief OF Infection through dniry
products and he considered this source
of danger SO slight as to be unworthy
Of precautionary measures. 4.
| Hcrcdity was also an unlmportant
factor in the transmission Of tubcrcu-
losis, though the contrary had long
been believed.
DIR. Koch said the chief danger of
contagion lay In the sputum OF con-
sumptive patients, and that remedy
was to be found In law preventing
the consumptive from strewing con-
tagion about him.
Several methods to this end were
available, sald the doctor, the surest
Of which was Isolation In sanitnriums.
This, unfortunately, was imprncti-
cable, but he strongly urged the cstab-
lishment of special c0nsumptive hos
pitals and the obligatory notification
| Of the authorities of the existence of
| the disease, the disinfection of their
quarters whenever cOnsumptives
| changed their residence, and the dis
semination of information to the peo-
pie concerning the true nature Of con-
sumption, to aid In avoiding and COM
batting II.
Dr.. Koch highly complimented DR..

on the repressive measures concern

where, he said the mortality from
