FOUND KELLAR BABY
ITS MOTHER ALLOWED TO REF
 TAIN IT, HOWEVER.
She Had Been Advised by Her At torney to Use Force to Prevent the Child's Being Taken
 From Her.

Keokuk, Ia., Aug. 2s-A policeman, &C., cidentally found the now famous Kellar baby today in the southern part of the city.
 He was serving subpoena in another case, when the excitement in the neigh borhood convinced him that he was near the hiding place where the mother. Mrs. vina Kellar. had cocealed the baby.
 The people were much excited for while as they all favor the mother. They thought that Secretary Park of the Asso- ciated Charities. had obtained habeas corpus writ to get the sick baby from the custody of the mother, who Is acting as a special constable. It developed that when the mother was made a special constable and given charge of her infant, eleven months old, under arrest for vag- rancy in order to give her possession de- spite the operation of the new sociolog- ical law, she took it to her sisters house. The mother had instructions from her at- torney to use necessary force to prevent anybody from taking the baby, unless with court warrant.
 After finding the baby. 'the attorney for Secretary Park advised him not to use the authority given him by the construc- tion of the law to take the baby from the mother, who was found by the trial court competent to keep it.

PRESS OPPOSES PALMA.
Cuban Editors Unfriendly to th'
 President.

President.
 Havana, Aug. 8.-President Palma finds himself today without the support of single newspaper controlled by Gu bans.
 The editorials published in theCuban press are, considered collectively. remarkable for their bitterness and outspoken oppo- sition of the Executive. The only paper which supports the President is The Diario de la Marina, formerly the organ of the Spanish Government and at pres ent representing the Spanish colony in Cuba.
 One of the principal causes of the opp position to President Palma seems to arise from the fact that he granted the Casteneda concession for the establish msnt of an electric light plnnt at Ha- vana- This concession has been sub feet of bitter discussion In the House or Representatives and some members or the House are demanding sSenator Far mas impeachment unless the concession Is rescinded.
 The press criticizes President Palma for interfering in such a trifling matter. and especially as 1t was distinctly nut nicipal affair. It says that although the President was elected on an independent ticket and received the inducements or the Republican and Nationalist parties. he has carried his independence too Tar. and today has the support of neither party. It is rumored that certain leading republicans are urging the President 10 announce himself a member of the Re- publican party and are guaranteeing him A majority in the House and Senate II he does so. La Discussion advocates such a declaration from the President.

DANCER FROM BLACKS.
London Telegraph Comments on the
 Negro Question.

London, Aug. 29.-Apparently inspired by the native problem. which Is looming up in South Africa, The Daily Telegraph this morning publishes significant edi- torial on the negro question, which 1t in sists, is for the Anglo-Saxon race more serious and urgent problem than the yell low danger.
 The paper confesses that the ideals which underlaid the emancipation move ment have quite failed of realization. that it has been proved throughout the world that the negro is incapable of working out his own salvation, and that the the ory of electoral equality Is a deiusion' mischievous to both negroes and whites Negro franchise in the Southern states of America, says the paper. is already a farce, and Its suppression in all but ex- ceptional cases cannot in all probability be permanently deferred.
 In conclusion the article asks What is to be the ultimate destiny'of the vast ard multiplying black population Tn south Africa? That Is the problem which looms behind every other.

 Among the speakers at the town din- ner this afternoon were Joseph Jefferson and former President Cleveland. both summer residents.

 "The stimulation of pride in the. well fare of the life of the place from whence we came is the most important adjunct in the makeup of Americanism, and 1t is a sacred sentiment
 Tn this industrial age, in this time of hurry and scurry, in this time when the chase of wealth presents the greatest &C., tivity, it is of the utmost importance that the feeling which such an occasion as this engenders should be stimulated. I believe that our safety as nation. our happiness as a people, depends upon keeping alive forever at the foundation of all other effort and of all other en- deavor this kindly sentiment. that heart to heart attachment. that love for the old home which is here exemplified."

CLIMAX OF THE BATTLE
Nine Thousand Horsemen Bear Down
on the Blues.
SCATTERING THE INFANTRY LIKE CHAFF
General Corbn Declares it to Be the Finest
Military Spectacle He Ever Saw, The
Zeitung Compliments the
American Officers,
(By the Associated Press.)

Frankfort on the Oder, Sept. 11.-Major
General Young and Brigadier General
Wood and their aides de camp, Lieu
tenants Mckinley and Mccoy, charged
with the cavalry led by Emperor Will
liam today.
The Americans did not draw their
swords. but they rode with the Garde du
Corps, one of the household regiments
and the Emperors bodyguard.
This charge was the climax of the
manoeuvres. About nine thousand horse
men. lancers, cuirassiers and dragons,
fell upon the flank of the Blues defend
ing army) capturing thirty of the lat
ter's guns and 1000 of its infantry.
The cavalry started at daylight, making
a twelve mile curve, and at about half
past eight swept over rolling meadows
and upon the enemy's forces, which had
been theoretically disorganized by heavy
infantry attacks
The nine thousand cavalry made a
frontage of mile and a half, and in
the sunlight, over the open country, they
rushed at a hard gallop upon the ar
tillery and infantry, which did not cease
firing until the horsemen were near at
hand.
When tho cavalry was within one hun
drcd yards the infantry quickly formed
into close platoon groups, which the
horsemen broke up, galloping between
the groups and the guns. Several horses
fell dead
The Emperor, mounted on white Arab
horse, directed the movements, and at
the finish galloped ahead as reclllessly as
any trooper; The Empress was present
on horseback.
Major General Corbin and Lieutenant
Colonel John A. Johnston, Earl Roberts
and other foreign guests were on a hill,
around which the charge was made.
General Corbin said it was the finest
military spectacle he ever saw.
Emperor Williams customary saluta-
tion to the Americans has been: 'Well,
how's the khaki brigade?"
His Majesty has also been disposed to
chaff the Americans a little Today they
wore blue fatigue uniforms. His sharp
eye noted the change and ne remarked
pleasantly upon it,
The Zeitung. commenting on the sim
plicity of the American uniforms, said:
THE American visitors have no need
of uniforms to make them look like
soldiers.
