Burned to Death.

When Mrs. Peter S. Nissen, of Min
neapolis, returned home after max
ing purchase at a nearby grocery,
she was Mortified to find her 49,

son. She became hysterical and the
neighbors feared she would do her

take her life. Kind neighbors took
charge of her, and though suffering
from the severe shock, she was re-
ported as resting easily.

to the invasion of our civil system
into their lives, and that they bear
no ill will to American citizens or
American soldiers.
"When 1 first went to Samar it was
case of fight your way everywhere,
and protect yourself while so doing.
A soldier could not venture much
out of hailing distance of even the
conquered towns without being set
upon and killed by sava"H natives.
Now an American can go anywhere
and go unarmed. One of our sol
diers deserted for some reason or
other, and he braved all sorts of
! dangers and made straight for the
interior of the island. He met ma
tives armed to the teeth, but none
of them showed any disposition to
modest him.
"This particular soldier, whose
name l have forgotten, was being
court-martialed when l left, but his
experiences with the heretofore I'M
tanned and savage natives brushed
away a doubt and left the authori-
ties in the rather confident attitude
of knowing that the island was con-
quered.
"The Moros, of course, will COM
NIT deeds of depreciation now and
again, but it needs only a strong po-
lice force to hold them in check.
"When I first went to Samar 1 had
Sc garrisons and 5000 men under my
command. Peace dawned so rapidly
that the forces were gradually with.
drawn, and when / left there were
but half as many men and only IA
garrisons.s This force is more than
is necessary to keep insurrection
down. The natives are showing a
lively interest in the march of civil
ization that our government has
started. Of course, they are a low
type of manhood-not a low type in
their physical development. They
are brave and strong, and have good
intellects, but they lack education.
They do not know how to read or
write. In fact, their education con-
sists of their knowledge how to en-
gage in all sorts of piracy and revel
in bloodshed. The day will come,
however, when these natives will
reach creditable stage of advance
ment.
'The natives are not quite as prim-
tive class as our Indians, but they
are still wholly uncivilizcd. We may
expect little trouble from the ma
tives of the Holo group. They are
ruled by sultan, but they owe him
sort of informal allegiance. I
don't think he will prove very strong
with his people if ever the time
comes that they get into serious
trouble with our troops. They are
an ignorant, low-bred class and less
susceptible to restraint than any
other of the natives of that coun-
try"

London. In fact, despite the adage
that there is always man ready to
fill any place that is vacated, there
is a tradition in London that the
American embassy could not exist
without it's efficient secretary, Henry
White.
To his friends he is familiarly
known as Harry White. He is a
recognized authority in Europe upon
all matters diplomatic and American.
1t is said that he knows personally
greater number of Americans than
any other man in the diplomatic serv-
ice. Tens of thousands of transat-
lantic travellers have availed them
selves of the courtesies of "the af.
fable secretary of the American en-
bassy at London"
Mr.. White has frequently been left
in absolute control of the embassy
as charge d'affaires. He is about Al
years old. His diplomatic service has
been extensive. He was secretary
of legation at Vienna for short
time in 1888, and was then trans
ferred to London as second secre.
tary. He was promoted to first sec.
rotary of the embassy in 1885,. He
has held that position ever since, ex-
eepting during the Cleveland admin
istration-1893 to 1897.
Mr.. White is wealthy. He has a
charming wife, and lives in London
at an expense double the amount of
the salary the United States pays
him as secretary of the legation.

PEACE NOW IN SIGHT
Gen. Fred D. Grant Brings Good
News from Philippines.
Inhabitants of Samar Will Make No
Further Trouble and MOros Can
Be Controlled by Small
Force.

Brig. Gen. Frederick Dent Grant,
who pacified the dark and bloody
Island of Samar, has returned from
the Philippines after three years
service in the islands. He came on
the transport Logan and brought
with him a bushel of facts about the
situation in the island, together with
rather concise idea of the situation
down there. Since Gen. Smith, of
the skill and burn" order fame, re-
linquished his authority over this
blood-stained island, Gen. Grant has
been in charge. He began the work
of bringing the fiery native spirit of
the islanders under civil and military
control, where Gen. Smith left off,
and he pursued the task with a
mixed combination of aggressiveness
and diplomacy, qualities that pre-
dominated in his father, the late
president of the United States, U. S.
Grant.
Gen. Grant has been in the Philip
pines since the first outbreak, and
during that time he has only been
home once, and that was on two
months sick leave. He goes to San
Antonio, Tex, having been appointed
to take charge of the department. of
Texas.
"Samar is enjoying the first period
of peace it has ever KNOWN" said
Gen. Grant, "and l am entirely salts
fed that the inhabitants of the
island will not attempt to make any
further trouble for our government.
'Now that they have been forced
by the stress of military operations
to cease their hostility, the natives
for the most part seem actually and
absolutely contented with the new
order of things. An incident which
occurred just before l left has con-
WINGED me that even the natives who
live in the thinly populated portions
of the islands are no longer opposed

In compliance with the wish of the
