South African War.

London, June 4.-The war office is
making no effort to allay the public
uneasiness occasioned by the scanti-
ness of the news from South Africa.
Nothing has yet come through to il
illuminate the Vlakfontein affairs, the
only dispatch on the subject since
the first official announcement being
three line message from Lord
Kitchener issued giving three addi-
tional names of the officers killed.
Details just received of the relief Of
Zeerust by General Methuen show
the town was practically besieged for
several months and that its food sup
ply was short. A dispatch from Pre-
toria announces that the constabulary
have captured Abraham Malan, SON
in-law of the late General Joubert,
Malan was an energetic, progressive
politician before the war, and since
it began he has been very active
against the British and has filed
several important commands, INCLUDE
ing that of Petersburg, until the
British occupied the place.

killed here by tramp. Daugherty
and two other Perry young men
were at the edge of the city, when
two tramps came along. The latter
had some goods they offered to sell.
A quarrel arose over the goods, and
one Of the tramps drew revolver
and fired, killing Daugherty instant
ly. The tramps escaped, but are be-
ing pursued by officers. Young
Daugherty's mother lies at the point

BIG BEET SUGAR COMPANY.
1t Is Incorporated in Harrison County
With 81 900 900 Capital.


Des Moines, June 1.-Advices from
Missouri Valley are that articles of
incorporation of powerful beet
sugar company have already been
filed with the recorder of Har-
rison county and will soon be
filed with the secretary of state here.
The company has capital of $1,o0O,-
600 and it's ARTICLES will permit it to
the state. Walter A. Smith is the
president of the new company, and
Representative James Kirkwood of
Harrison county is its secretary.
This is one of the first and much
the largest corporation to be orga-
nized for the manufacture of beet
sugar in Iowa since the enactment
of the measure in the Twenty-eighth
general assembly that exempted cap
ital engaged in the manufacture of
beet sugar from taxes. Under this
law, all the mills, buildings, and APP
pliances used in the manufacture of
sugar in the state, including the land
on which the buildings are located,
not to exceed ten acres, all the per-
sonal property used in connection
with the business and the shares and
| certificates of stock are exempt from
taxation until January 1, 1910. Under
this also, no corporation fee can be
charged for fling the articles with
the secretary of state. The UNDER
standing here is that the company
intends to erect a large factory and
engage in the business in earnest.
Some months ago a company was or
gained at Fort Dodge, but there was
no mandatory erected.

THE Salient POINTS.
What Supreme Court Decisions In Insul.


What supreme Court Decisions In Insular
Cases Mean.
Washington, May 29.-Following are
the salient points in decisions of the
supreme court in the insular cases,
undoubtedly the greatest decision
ever made by that tribunals:
l. The constitution does not follow
the hag ex propria vigore-of it's own
force.
2. The United States may enter up
on a colonial policy-kas already en-
tered upon it-without violation of
the constitution.
8. This nation has all the powers
that rightfully belong to sovereign
international state and may acquire
territory without Incorporating such
territory as an integral part of itself.
4. The simple act of acquisition by
treaty or otherwise does not auto
matically bring about such incorpora-
ton; and incorporation is effected
only by the will of the states acting
consciously through congress.
S. Porto Rico is not part of the
United States, but ga territory appur-
tenant and belonging to the United
States" Tariffs established by con-
gress upon goods coming from or go
ing to Porto Rico are valid and col
lectible. The Foraker act is consti-
tutional.
6. Congress has full power over the
territories, may regulate and dispose
of them, may at it's discretion extend
the constitution to them, may admit
them as states, or may hold them
indefinitely as territories, colonies or
dependencies.
Z. Porto Rico is not "foreign
country and therefore the Dingley
law, which 1evies duties upon goods
imported "from foreign countries .
dose not apply to Porto Rico. Nor
yet is "Porto Rico part of the Uni
ted States" Tt is domestic terri.

stricted control"

ACTION UNSATISFACTORY
Cuban Convention rlust Take Up
Plat Amendment Again,

IlolS fAHuCn0AIlSuS <AXdIHs
Washington, June 1.-The admins
tration has decided that the action of
the Cubun constitutional convention
in accepting the terms of the Platt
amendment with notifications and
interpretations OF their own is not
Substantially compliance with our
terms within the meaning of the
amendment and Secretary Root will
convey this intelligence to the con-
vention. The decision was reached
at the cabinet meeting yesterday.
The meeting lasted over an hour
and half and had been preceded by
an hours conference between the
president and Senators Platt of Con-
necticut and Lodge of Massachusetts,.
AS the author of the amendment the
president desired to learn the views
of Senator Platt and also those of
Senator Lodge, who is one of the in
fuential members of the committee
on foreign relations. At the cabinet
meeting Secretary Root took the po-
sition that the Interpretation of the
Platt amendment contained in the
constitution adopted by the conven-
ton and the whereases appended to
it, went outside of fair interpreter
ton of it's meaning and was unac-
ceptable. In this view the cabinet
concurred. When asked as to what
would be the next step of the govern
ment after the Cuban convention had
been notified of the rejection of it's
action one of the members of the
cabinet said that the government
could do nothing further until the
convention again acted, that as long
as the conditions of the Tlatt amend
ment were on the statute book COM
pllance with must precede our re-
linquishment of control over the is
land.

NATURAL GAS IN POLK COUNTY.
Three Wells on Acton Farm, In Madison
Township.

township.
-Des Moines, June 1.-Gas has been
found in Polk county. Three wells
have been sunk on the farm of M. A.
Acton, prominent farmer of Madi-
son township, whose land abuts the
county line on the west, is but one and
one-half miles from the north county
line and is about two miles from High
Bridge. In eacn of these three wells
the flow of gas is sufficient to create
perceptible current at the surface
and burns when flame is applied.
The flow has not appreciably dimin-
ished and creates an odor that can
be detected for considerable dis
lance. The first well was bored two
weeks ago by j. w. Nash, profess
sional well digger of Indianola. Gas
was struck at a depth of ninety feet
and existed i'll such a quantity as to
cause the water to bubble in a man
ner similar to boiling water. An at
tempt 20 secure better flow of
water was made by sinking a twelve
inch well short distance away and
at depth of 105 feet similar phenom-
ena was experienced, the flow of gas
being even more marked than in the
first well. A third attempt was made
and at depth of ITO feet a larger
flow of gas was encountered, but a
satisfactory flow of water was OBJ
tanned.

London, June 1.-On the anniver-
sary of Lord Roberts entry into Jo-
hannesburg the country has been
startled by the receipt of the news of
desperate fighting and heavy British
losses within forty miles of the gold
reef rity The battle at Nladfontein,
on the Durban-J johannesburg rail-
road, reported by Lord Kitchener yes
terday, IS the most serious engage
mcnt since General Clements reverse
at Magaliesburg. 1t shows General
Delarey is in no way daunted by the
capture of eleven of his guns by Gen
eral Darlington six weeks ago. The
garrison of Vladfontein, apparently
largely composed of ycomanry, had
ia men put out of action. That
their assailants came to close quar-
tors and suffered heavily is shown by
the number of dead left on the field.
The dispatch from Lord Kitchener,
dated Pretoria, May 80, is as follows:
General Dixor's force at Vladfon-
TEN was attacked yesterday ty De-
larey's forces and there was severe
fighting. The enemy was eventually

HEBRON AND WIFE SETTLE.
The Socialists Have Located on a Farm
at PomptOn. N. j.

New York, June 3.-Prof. and Mrs.
George d. Heron have arrived at
Pompton, N. j., and their honeymoon
will be spent on the farm of the
bride at that point. The farm was a
gift to the bride from her mother,
Mrs. E. ID. Rand, of Burlington, Iowa.
1t contains thirty acres, and it is as
serted the pair propose to found
there a socialist college along the
lines of the peculiar beliefs espoused
by the former clergyman and profess
sor of applied Christianity at Grin
nell college. Professor Heron denies
that a colony is to be established.
1t is the intention of the pair to plant
potatoes and hoe corn during their
honeymoon.
Preachers, lawyers and public in
structors pillory the socialistic bride
groom. One of them refers to him as
''violator of moral and civil law
They believe he intends to establish
community there which will defy
the marriage laws of New Jersey.

Wrecked a Saloon just Outside the Pre-
4 RidIO Mt San Eranciscn

wrecked q Saloon just Outside the Pre-.
sidlo at San Francisco.
San Francisco, Cal, June IA mob
OF soldiers, numbering 500 or 600, I'm
dulged in riot and wrecked Mrs.
Powers saloon, one of the many
drinking places just outside of the
Preside reserve. There are q great
many conflicting stories as to the
origin of the trouble. The soldiers
of the Forty-sixth volunteer infan-
try We're mustered out of service yes
terday and the men given their dis
charges and pay. Most of the men
had several hundred dollars coming
to them, and they did considerable
drinking in the Presidio.
A man by the name of Morgan, of
the Forty-siNth was found uncon-
scious in front of Mrs. Powers sa-
loon. Two of Morgan's company
mates took him to camp for treat
ment. The doctor pronounced it a
case where drugs had been admins
tered. The news spread rapidly
through the camp and soon there
was a dozen or more men running
to Mrs. Powers saloon. They de-
manded reparation for the drugging
of their comrade, but any knowledge
of the affair was denied. Two or
three ex-soldiers, lounging about the
place, sided iii with the woman and
ordered the soldiers from the prem
ises. They went back for reinforce
ments and spread the report that two
of their companions had been killed
in this saloon.
A mob made up of members from
the Forty-ffth and Forty-sixth regi-
ments then rushed pellmell through
the Preside gates to the saloon.
Stones were gathered on the way and
then the place was stormed. Every
window in the place was broken, and
the interior demolished completely.
The gas jets were snapped off and
the coal lamps overturned. Mrs.
Powers estimates the damages at
$4,000. Not a thing was left intact
in the saloon

Washington, June BIN answer to
his application for instructions, Sec
rotary Hay has directed Ambassador
Choate at London to issue passports
to the two Flipinos who appeared at
the embassy ''as residents of the
Philippine islands, and as such en-
titled to the protection of the United
States
The decision upon this point is of
Importance, as having perhaps some
bearing upon the status of the people
of the Philippines, Porto Rico and
Guam.
The United States statutes prohibit
the issue of passport to any but
American citizens. But those later
acts, the Foraker act and the Spoon
er act, impose obligations in their
turn which may be regarded as
qualifying the original act, and may
enable the government to avoid de-
cision upon the question of Ameri-
can citizenship of the islanders.
At any rate the circular instruc-
lions now in formulation which will
be sent out to all United States dip
lsmatic and consular representatives
will direct them to issue, not certifi-
Gates, but genuine American pass

Three Columns of Casualties Show Doe
War LIS Not Ended.


London, June 1.-The South African
casualty lists, which fill three col
umns of the Times, recall forcibly to
the unwilling British mind that the
Boer war is still full of fiery action.
These heavy losses in killed and
wounded are chiefly the result of en-
gagements that Lord Kitchener had
not condescended previously to re.
port, and they have let out a flood of
indignant criticism, of which the anti
war party enjoys no monopoly.
Such stanch supporters of the gov
eminent as the ST. James Gazette and
the Daily Mail join in protesting in
vigorous language against this
alarming policy Of concealment.'
The evening papers TEEN with COM
munications from citizens of all
classes, complaining in a similar
strain. They assert that things have
reached a pitiable point for old Eng

voked to distract attention from the
endless unpleasantness IN South

Monument to Sergeant Floyd Dedicated

Monument to Sergeant Floyd Dedicated
at Sioux City.
Sioux City, May 3l.-With most inn
pressive ceremonies, and in the pres
ence of large crowd of people, a
large obelist of enduring sand stone
was yesterday dedicated to Sergeant
Charles Floyd, the only member of
the famous Lewis and Clark expedi-
ton who died during its explorations
and the first United States soldier to
be buried within the domain of the
great empire of the Mississippi
country. His remains lie upon Floyd
bluff. below Sioux City, and the 104
foot monument overlooks the entire
Missouri valley.
The ceremonies were attended by a
large number of distinguished men
and women. Hon. John A. Kasson
delivered the principal address, a
magnificent study of the expansion
OF the republic in which he upheld
the country growth.
DIR. James ID. Butler, of Madison,
Wis, discoverer of the Sergeant
Floyd diary of the expedition, and
Mrs. Elliotts Coues, widow of the his
torian of the expedition, were promi-
ncnt also in the exercises.
The monument is the fruition of
years of labor on the part of Presi-
dent John Charles of the Memorial
association. BY dint of hard work he
and several other pioneers re-discov-
cred Floyd's grave in 1895 and organ
lied a society for the building of a
suitable monument. Congressman
Geo. ID. Perkins secured SIS 900 app
preparation from congress in 1859 and
the state, city, county and private
citizens have added enough to erect
an obelisk at the cost of about
$4,000,
