FOUNDERS OF NEW REPUBLIC
LAND IN JAIL.
Special to The Globe


OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 12.-The "Republic
of Omaha formed by thirteen Indians
of that tribe and three white men, mas
had its rise and fall, and its citizens
are in the Douglas county Jail in this
city.
The Indians have spent several weeks
in Omaha as witnesses in the federal
court and the white men accompanied
them from the Pender reservation as
interpreters. The whites allowed Red
Star, full-blooded Omaha, to officiate
as president and to his fellow -tribesmen
were allotted the portfolios of state,
war, navy and interior. The crafty Yam
KEGS retained the portfolio of the treas
ury.
When the Indian witnesses had drawn
their fees, the money was deposited with
John Jasperson, interpreter and secre-
tary of the treasury, nd the republic
stocked up literally with red liquor.
A, the way back to Pender the citizens
toasted one another until they had eVolv-
ed declaration of independence which
involved the determination of the whites
The compatriots first intimidated Dog
town, the Indian village on the Pender
reservation, and then moved in a body
upon Pender, firing reYolVerS and driV-
ing citizens into their houses. When hos
tilities were well under way, however,
the disturbers encountered United States
1orcec IN the form of Marshal James
Allen and two deputies. Without further
ado the republic capitulated and was
disarmed of two revolvers and pony to
each man.
The citizens were arraigned before
Commissioner T. L. Sloan and brought
to Omaha for hearing on the charge Of
introducing liquor into the Indian coun-
try and of assault with intent to l4Il.
On information furnished by his COM
patriots, $2S5 was taken from Secretary
OF the Treasury JaspeTson.

NEW YORK, Jan. Ex-senator Chaun-

President Newman, William K Wander
bilt, H. Mex. Twombly and other man
ayers and directors Of the New York
Central railroad regarding the accident
in the tunnel last week, and especially
as to electrical and other improvements
for that underground passage. If cleo
tricity is to solve the underground prob
lem, the senator is inclined to pin his
faith to a powerful motor.
1--WE all thought" said the senator,
that with the use of electricity the
chances of accidents would be reduced
to a minimum, but we have read of the
recent accident in the Liverpool tunnel.
Then there was something wrong with the
third rail. In an instant the train was
on fire and twenty-six people were killed
That shows what may happen with a
third rail.
81 am going to the Central offices to-
morrow feeling that if 1 can solve this
tunnel question by ability as an engineer
or in any other way, / would give up
everything else, even the United States
senate, and devote myself to it."

The expedition to Lobo, in Batangas,
has been a complete success. The
columns under Coils Wint and Wells
have destroyed a large number of bar
racks and hamlets and enough rations
to keep 10000 Filipinos for six months
There was not a single American casual
ty during the entire expedition. The

of them were killed and several sur
rendered.
Maj. Henry Allen. formerly governor
of the island of Leyte, and now cher
of the insular constabulary, who has
been making a tour Of inspection
through the islands of Leyte and Min
danao. has returned to Manila, and re-
ports that the native constabulary is
fully able to control the situation in the
province of MiSamis, in northern Minda-
mao, where he thinks the situation has
been much exaggerated. Previous re-
ports concerning this province caused
Gems. Davis and Wade to request that
it be returned from civil to military
control.
With the exception Of the church, the
entire town of Quinque, in Bulucan
province, LuZon, has burned to the
ground, and thousands of Filipinos have
been rendered homeless.
Medical authorities here assert that a,
considerable portion Of the breaking
down among American residents of the
Philippine islands is due to homesick-
ness. The newspapers of Manila are
urging the United States Philippine com
mission to make an appropriation for
daily cabled news service from the
United States, thus bringing Americans
here into closer touch with their home
life.

WELCOME TO HENRY
GERMANY'S SAILOR PRINCE Is TO
BE royalty RECEIVED ON
HIS ARRIVAL
PLANS ALREADY BEING LAID
In Washington He VIII Be the Guest
of the Nation, and President
Roosevelt VIII Exert
Himself to Please.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-The announce
ment that Prince Henry of Prussia,
brother of Emperor William, will come
to the United States at an early date,
has caused much interesting speculation
as to the details Of his reception. The
programme for his entertainment will
be an elaborate one, appropriate for his
high station.
He will be met at New York by repre-
sentatives of President Roosevelt. An
officer will be detailed from the army
and one from the navy to arrange for
the convenience of the prince, and to
accompany him. He is an admiral in the
German navy, and when he arrives at
New York will be greeted by a salute Of
twenty-oue guns, which is the same as
a presidential salute. He may make an
address at the launching Of the imperial
yacht, which is to be ehristened by Miss
Roosevelt, and it is not improbable that
President Roosevelt may attend the
launching and respond 70 the princes adj
dress.
Guest of the Nation.
On his arrivel at Washington Prince
Henry will be received by the president,
and Will be invited to become the guest
Of the nation. Whether he will care to
accept this invitation, or to stay at the
German embassy is notsznown. His call

person by Mr.. Roosevelt, who viii invite
him to dinner, where there will also
be the most prominent men of the coun-
try. Everything will be done to make
Prince Henry's visit pleasant and mem
orable one.
The imperial yacht Hohenzollern will
also be given a cordial reception. 1t is
rossible4that the North Atlantic squadron
may find its itinerary cut short, and
that it will be ordered to receive the
yacht at sea, accompany it to port and
take its share in doing honor to the
prince of PruS sia.
New York Is All Agog.
NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-During this
week plans will be considered for the re-
ception of Admiral Prince Henry of
Prussia, brother to Kaiser Wilhelm, who
VIII land here next month to witness the
launching of the Kaiser's new yacht
The prospect now is. that from the ar
rival of the prince in New York waters
Will date series of public receptions,
fetes and kindly greetings of an interna-
uonal character such as have been
paralleled in this country only during the
visit of. the Prince of Wales, now king
of England, forty years ago, and when
a welcome was extended eleven years
later to the Grand Duke Alexis. brother
of the czar Of Russia.

ASKING FOR NEUTRALITY

Chicago Friends of Boers Assert
That if Shipments of Horses and
Mules Is Stopped the War
VIII Soon End.

CHICAGO, Jan. 12-The Chicago
branch of the American Transvaai
league held a meeting here tonight and
adopted petition calling upon President
Roosevelt to enforce the neutrality law.
A large number of signatures of prom
inent men, Judges, lawyers and others,
was obtained. The petition is in the
form of an argument, and sets forth
that the United States is conceded to
be a neutral nation in the war between
Great Britain and the South African
republic.
1t is contended that if the augmenta-
tion Of Great Britain's military supplies
from the port of New Orleans was stop
ped, the South African war would come
to speedy end. 1t is urged that horses
and mules designed for use in military
operations are within the meaning Of the
term military supplies" as used in
the treaty of Washington. The president
is therefore called upon to strictly en-
force article VI. of that treaty.
