ments the reprimand of President
Roosevelt in long circular in which
he explains the conditions which re
suited in the courtmartial of General
Smith and shows that although Smith
issued the "kill and burn" order as a
matter OF fact very few persons were
killed as result of that order, the
casualties being confined almost whol.
ly to the eleven natives killed under
Major Walters direction.
Following is the text of the presi.
dents review of the case:
"The findings and sentence of the
court are approved.
''I am well aware of the danger and
great difficulty of the task our army
has had in the Philippines and of the
well-nigh intolerable provocations it
has received from the cruelty, treach-
cry and total disregard of the rules and
customs of civilized warfare on the
part of it's foes. l also heartily ap.
prove the employment of the sternest
measures necessary to put stop to
such atrocities and to bring this war
to close. 1t would be culpable to
show weakness in dealing with such
foes or to fail to use all legitimate and
honorable methods to overcome them.
But the very fact that warfare is of
such character as to afford infinite
provocation for the
Commission OF Acts of Cruelty
by junior officers and the enlisted men
must make the officers in high and re-
sponsible positions particularly careful
in their bearing and conduct so as to
keep moral check over any acts of
an improper character by their sub
ordinates. Almost universally the
higher officers have so borne them
selves as to supply this necessary
check; and with but few exceptions
the officers and soldiers of the army
have shown wonderful kindness and
forbearance in dealing with their foes.
But there have been exceptions; there
have been instances of the uses OF
torture and of improper heartlessness
i'll warfare On the part Of individuals
or small detachments. In the recent
campaign ordered by General Smith
the shooting of the native bearers by
the orders of Major Waller was an act
| which sullied the American name and
can be but partly excused because OF
Major Walters mental condition at the
time; this mental condition being due
to the fearful hardship and suffering
, which he had undergone in his cam
paign. 1t is impossible to tell exactly
how much influence language like that
used by General Smith may have had
in preparing the minds of those under
him for the commission of the deeds
which we regret. Loose and violent
talk by an officer of high rank is al.
ways likely to excite to wrongdoing
those among his subordinates whose
wills are weak or whose passions are
strong.
General Smith has behind him a
long career distinguished for gailantry
and on the whole for good conduct
Taken in the full MS work has been
such as to reflect credit upon the

INENT AND CONCLUDED HE DID
NOE WANT HIS MAN. Aa-
! The Jamestown Capital says of one
incident of the state encampm ent:
While ia part OF the company were
visiting the Chautauqua grounds and
enjoying the evening in singing, a man
came along and ordered them to stop
and get off the grounds. Lieut.. Bald
win who was the officer in charge
asked the man who he was, and by
what authority he ordered them off.
The man said he would show him who
he was and he struck him across the.
chest with loaded cane bruising him
quite badly. The boys who were with
Mr.. Baldwin jumped for the fellow,
who drew a gun and. fired into the
crowd, Lieut.. Baldwin catching hold
Of his hand and preventing him from
caught him and before Lieut.. Baldwin
could stop them, they had given the
fellow a good pounding and took away
his cane and gun, and star which was
under his coat. 80 ..
The boys then went to the camp and
reported the incident to the colonel and
an inquest was held, the result of
which has not been made known yet.
The sympathy of the officers of the
regiment and of those who witnessed
the affair was with the boys. as they
1 thought the officer exceeded his author
| ity in ordering them off the grounds
without any cause. A regular army
officer who witnessed the fight says
that the boys We're right.
The next day deputy sheriff of
Ramsey county called at the encamp-
ment grounds and demanded of Mr.
Baldwin the gun and other things
taken from the officer the night before
and who was deputy Sheriff. Mr..
Baldwin told him that he could not
turn them over without an order from
the colonel in charge. The deputy
ouOl Ill Sdlu iS WOulu uttNG tuGlll, dlu
Lieut.. Baldwin informed him that he
was officer Of the day and in charge of
the grounds and unless he got off the
grounds Immediately he would put him
in the guard house. The officer left
pretty quick.
At the city of Devils Lake as the
boys were coming home the sheriff
came to the train and said he had a
warrant for Lieut.. BALDWIN and that he
must have him. He was informed by
some of the officers in charge that they
would not give Lieut.. Baldwin up and
that they did not think he had force
enough with him to take him. The
sheriff thought he had. but when he
had talked the matter over with the
officers of the regiment, who showed
him that they had about 500 men who
would fight before they would let Bald
win go, concluded to let the matter rest.
The boys say there was not force
enough in the city of Devils Lake to
have made them give up Lieut. Bald
win, who is very popular with the reg
iment.

TELEGRAPHIC MARKET LETTER

Minneapolis, July 17.-Cables were

belt which is not very encouraging as
generous rains have prevailed during

New York, July 17.-This market is
very uneven today making it quite diff
ficult to form any definite opinion.
Chicago strike is settled and if Presi-
dent Mitchell's advice can be relied
upon the coal strike will do likewise.
On this belief the coalers have enjoyed
good advances throughout the entire
list, possibly a little premature where
definite action had not been taken.
Much of the activlty in So. Pac is at
tributed to Mr.. Keene's renewed oper-
ations and should now continue active
for some time. Shorts are finding
little consolation and have been led
into trap which is very dangerous.

New Orleans, July 17.--News from
Jennings, La, says that the fire at the
Jennings we'll No. 2, owned by the
Haywood Bros, is still raging. Those
who are fighting the fire are now plan
ming to surround the burning well with
boilers and snuff the fire out by steam.
Hundreds Of people have been attract
ed to the scene. Two tanks containing
q, 400 barrels have been burned and it
is estimated that $4,000 barrels from
the gusher have been destroyed SO far.
w. S. Haywood said that if the steam
plan was successful the fire would
probably be subdued in four or five
days. The fire engine from Beaumont,
which arrived during the night, was un-
able to accomplish anything. There
lis considerable apprehension at the
scene of the fire.

the Catastrophe.

the Catastrophe.
Park City, Utah, July 1.-Two pow
der magazines at the 1,200foot level
Of the Daly-West mine exploded about
l a. M, causing a loss of life that at
present cannot be estimated nor even
guessed at. At O'clock twenty-seven
men had been taken out of the mine
dead and several others had been re-
covered in a half crazed condition.
These were all brought out through
the Ontario mine shaft, which is mile
distant from the Daly-West, in which
the explosion occurred. The 1,2G0-foot
level of, the Daly-West corresponds to
and is connected by tunnel with the
,60O-foot level of the Ontario.
In the Daly-West mine between 100
and $50 men were at work. In the On
tario were nearly 100, it is believed.
It is not known how many of these
are dead, but the disaster extends to
the Ontario, as the noxious gases that
have been let loose are known to be
the cause of several of the deaths.
The presence of these gases leads
many miners to believe that the pow
der explosion, if one occurred, was not
the chief cause OF the disaster There
are two powder magazines at the ! 200
foot level of the Daly-West, one at
each side of the shaft, with capacity
of one or two cars of powder each. A
car of powder was added to the supply
within the past few days.
Three dead men have been taken out
of the Ontario shafts. They were
working at least mile from the mag
azine that exploded. It is believed all
three were suffocated. The explosion
occurred about a. M, at an houl
when every person in town was either
asleep or at work The shock was SC
tremendous that it awakened every
one within a radius of miles. AS an
example of it's awful force it is told
that two horses in the ore tunnel one
and half miles away, were killed by
It.
Pitiful Scenes at Shafthouse.
Women and children are thronging
to the Ontario shafthouse, which is
midway between Park City and the
Daly-West. Nearly all Of them have
husbands or fathers in the mines and
their grief is pitiable. All of the doc
tors in town have gone to the mine.
They are doing what they can to resus-
citate the unconscious fellows as they
are taken out. Ia 81.
Members of relief party who went
into the Ontario mine shortly after the
explosion occurred have not yet re-
turned and fears are entertained of
their safety.
A telephone message from Park City
at 10 o'clock says that thirty-three bod
les have been removed from the two
mines.
Officials Of the Daly-West state that
only three more bodies are in the mine.
Miners, however, assert that there are
twelve or fifteen still unaccounted for.
The fumes from the explosion were
overpowering and caused most of the
deaths.
Eight miners escaped through the
Anchor tunnel unhurt.

HORSE HAPPENINGS

Among the prominent horsemen
who have visited Canon City in the
past week are Harvey Birch, of Pu-
eblo and +. E. Selden of Denver, and
by far the fastest heats the writer has
ever witnessed, Were trotted when
these two horsemen met and discussed
the Colorado Circuit races, in which
they were competitors. Through each
cirolet of smoke the horses went faster
and | believe that Harvey would have
taken the last heat, but he was due to
leave on the Santa Fe and was going
against time, so that when the Santa
Fe whisrled Winship blew up in the
stretch and the heat was awarded 20
Charley Reeves 'Elbertus," because
everybody admitted that it was Ell
bertus' only slow TO win anything
but his owners disgust.
But Harvey did more; he came
here TO buy hnrse, and when he
finally landed ON Kane, Canon City
lost one of its best bits of horse flesh,
and Mr.. McGee of Pueblo, for whom
Mr.. Selden is campaigning Com
monwealth, Orval, Kate Lumry and
Evsngie, and at present his string is
at Seattle, although he may bring his
horses to Canon in time for our big
October meeting.
Apropos of this meering let me say
that it l. the intention of the aSsocia-
tion to hold a three days race meet
ing the first week in October in con-
noctiOu with the county fair. The
association will give $1,000 to $500
in purses and has the promise of Sc
curing for its attractions the best
horses in the state.
The most important happening of
the past week was the launching into
our midst of a professional horse
trainer We have engaged the ser
vices of Charley Kountz, driver and
trainer of considerable ability and
good reputation Mr.. Eountz Is start
ing with four horses and hopes to have
some of them in condition to break
of piece of the money at Rocky
Ford and Pueblo. OF course we could
name the probable winner were we
not hampered with an overstock of
modcsty. While the present arrange
ment with Mr. Kountz is only tempo
rary, it is hoped that be will be able
to establish permanent training quar-
tiers at the track and | would suggest
to those of you who contemplate hav-
ing your horses trained to see Mr.
Kountz at once so that he may make
his plans accordingly. JO-JO.
