THE WATER CURE.
1t Was Administered TO n Philippine
FrIar with Fatal EHect-A Peculiar


Washington, Nov. 22.-The secre-
tary of war yesterday sent to the at
torney general the papers in the case
of Father Augustine who died from
the effects of water cure administered
by soldiers of Vermont regiment
while serving in the Philippines. The
case has been thoroughly investigated
by the judge advocate general of the
army upon the charges brought by
Charles Francis Adams and others of
what was known as the Lake George
conference.
1t cannot be found that any person
now serving in the United States army
was responsible in any way for the
death of the friar, and therefore the
persons cannot be tried by court mar
tial. 1t is expected that following
the precedents growing out of other
wars the attorney general will rem
der an opinion that neither the courts
in this country nor those in the Phil
ippines have any jurisdiction over the
men or officers who have been dis
charged from the army.
Capt. Brownell, a volunteer officer
who was in command of the troops
who administered the water cure, has
acknowledged that the cure was ad-
ministered and that the man died.

INDIAN AFFAIRS.
CommIssIomer jones' Report AdvO-
Gates Agencies Being Placed Under
Charge of ents of Train
Hnu SchnnIa.

New York, Nov. 22.-Commissioner
of Indian Affairs Jones, in his annual
report, estimates that the govern
ment from its foundation to 1890
spent $s45, ,275,29O in fighting, subdu-
ing and controlling the Indians of the
country, and $240000,OO0 for the edu-
cation and care of their children.
The report advocates that agencies
and portions of agencies be placed
under the charge of bonded superin-
tendents of training schools, a policy
already started wherever practicable,
and according to the commissioner,
giving better administration than
when agencies were under the control
of political fanatics. The total cost
of the Indian schools during the fiscal
year was $3,437,7S5, or $l3S per cap
ita. This amount maintained 249
schools, with an enrolment of 24,434
pupils, and in addition number of
pupils at the Hampton, Na institute,
and at public schools.

The Russian Fanatics Now In Cana

Washington, Nov. 22.-The Christian
community of the Universal Brother
hood, at Crowsland, Assiniboa, Cam
ada, have sought home in this coun-
try but have been officially notified
that the community cannot settle on
government domain. The community,
represented by Ivan Ponomarem ANA
others, forwarded letter to the pres
ident asking for a refuge in the Uni
ted States. The letter was referred
to the interior department. Assistant
Commissioner Richards, of the gener-
al land office, has forwarded a reply
announcing that they cannot locate
on the public la1.ds of the United
States. Mr.. Richards says:
in said letter you state that your
community numbers more than 1000
and that in 1898, and 1899, you emf
grated from Russia to Canada because
the Russian government would not
permit you to live according to the
dictates of your religion. You have
discovered that although in Canada
there is religious freedom, still it is
not what you were in search of: that
you yielded obedience only to the
commands of the spirit of good, in
your hearts, and cannot submit to
any human laws or become the sub
jeets of any sOvereign; that you are
not compelled to bear arms or per-
form military service in Canada, but
must become subjects of Great Bri-
tain and therefore you cannot obtain
land on which to live without ying
'all the institutions and laws of Can
ada You therefore ask that you
may be given refuge in this country
or on land under the jurisdiction of
this government, where you may live
by the labor of your hands, and where
you shall not be forced to obey hui
man ordinances or be asked to be-
come subjects of any one except the
good God You state that you use
no meat or milk, but only vegetables
and fruit; that you have no domestic
animals and all your work is done by
your own labor, and ask only for so
much land as you can cultivate by
manual labor without the assistance
of animals, etc.
"In reply ! have to advise you that
the public lands of the United States
are disposed of only to citizens of
the United States, or to those who
have declared their infection to be-
come such citizens"

CUBA'S TRADE.
OmcinI Report of Minister Squlers
Regarding Our Trade with That
IalnnI.

Washington, Nov. % - Minister
Squiers, at Havana, has forwarded to
the state department the official re-
port of the foreign commerce of Cuba
for May and June, 1902 and a state
ment of the trade with the United
States in June, 1902, as compared
with other countries.
The minister notes a decrease in the
sugar trade for the first six months
of 1902, as compared with the same
period of 1901, Of 49, 900 tons. To Off
set this, however, there is an increase
of 31S,0O0 tons held in storage in the
hope of better prices.
The report shows that Cuba gave
to the United States A per cent of
her import and a per cent. of her
export trade. Nearly all of Cuba's
fruit and sugar was marketed in the
United States last June as well as so
per cent. of the islands tobacco.
The United States almost entirely
supplied Cuba with wheat -four, corn,
crude oil, coal and meats, with the
exception of ierked beef. Spain and
Canada supplied large quantities of
potatoes. onions, hams and butter,
which Minister Squiers says should
come from the United States or be
supplied by the home market. The
minister says our live stock trade
should be increased as the tariff pro-
visions are favorable and cattlemen
prefer American stock.
Cuban imports from the United
States for the first six months of 1902
shows a reduction of II per cent. from
the corresponding period of 1889. I'M
ports from Spain increased per cent
in the same period.

THE HOLY CITY.
Jerusalem Still Resembles a Great For
tress of the Middle Ages.

Jerusalem Still REESE mbles Great For
tress of the Middle Ages.
Jerusalem is literally "builded upon
its own heap" Below the houses,
courts and paved streets of the present
unkempt city are the distinguished
remains of eight older cities-those Of
Solomon, Nehemiah, Herod. Hadran
Constantine, Omar, Godfrey, Saladin.
Suleman, writes Walter Williams from
lumbia, Mo. Jerusalem has been be-
sieged twenty-seven times, a record of
vicissitude unparalleled in the history
of the worlds cities. 1t has been burn
ed, sacked, RACED to the ground, its in
habitants of every faith put to the
sword, all the woes uttered by it's own
prophets against it have come to pass,
yet Jerusalem still resembles a great
fortress of the middle ages. Seen from
the Mount of Olives, its massive gray
walls, its fat-rOOfed houses, its
mosques and churches with their con
spicuous towers and minarets, present
a marvellous picture, beautiful, sub
lime, unfading, from the picture gal
lery of the mind. The city itself has
narrow, dirty streets-the water sup
ply for its 10000 people comes in q
fOur-inch pipe-the open courts are few
and small, the houses are punched to
gether with no regard for room OF
cleanliness. Some houses are under
ground and others on ton of the higl
inciosing walls. The people are fanati
CAL ignorant, selfish. There is mucl
TO detract from the ideal city, but de
spite all this and more Jerusalem from
the Mount of Olives is the same in it
essential details, the same in the frame
work Of its setting, the same in fasci
mating suggestion as the Jerusalem o
which David sang, and over which Je
sus wept.

Mrs Van Norden followed her glance
out toward the boat. 1t was slowly

WILD BEASTS IN A POCKET.

Corralled by Ranchmen in Arizona and
Ruthlessly Slaughtered.
For several months past the noun
tain lions, bears and wolves that
abound in some parts of Arizona have
been playing sad havoc with the stock
on the ranch of Colin Campbell in Co
chise county. With 10000 cattle on the
range, the heavy losses in calves and
yearlings by the ravages of the wild
animals have cut down the dividends
of the stock company which owns the
range.

over Arizona as hunter and who was

closed in toward the center, with 200
dogs in the rodeo. AS they reached the

bears, coyotes and an occasional griz-
zly bear tried to break through the line
but were met by a shower of bullets
Dozens of animals persisted in the at
tempt to escape, but 200 others were
finally cornered in a box canyon, while
redskins and cowpunchers picked then
off from the rocks above.
There were scores of close conflict:
with the enraged and frightened brutes
and in one melee four Indians were
fearfully mangled by a grizzly before
their shots finally finished the bear

BOLD ROBBERS IN COLORADO
= MASKED MEN HELD UP A TRAIN

Along the Trncl<-Biew Open Two
Safes in the Express Car, but Sc
cured Little Booty-They Escape.

Salida, Col. July ia report was
received here that the Denver & Rio
Grande narrow gauge passenger train
was held UP and robbed by several men
near Sargents, west of Marshall Pass.
The robbery occurred at $3.50 o'clock
today at Chester. Col, 25O miles west Of
Denver.
The engineer was compelled at the
point OF a revolver to stop the train by
masked men who had climbed over tle
tender.
Two safes in the express car were
blown open, but it is claimed by the Of
ticers of the Rio Grande Express company
that the robbers failed to secure any
plumber from the safes.
The passengers were compelled to aligl't
from the cars and line up alongside the
tracks in the canyon, and they were re-
heved of their money and valuabes.
Many of the passengers threw away
their money, watches and iewelry among
the rocks before the robbers searched
them. There were many tourists among
the passengers, and it is presumed that
the losses of some were heavy.
The train was the west bound narrow
gauge passenger train which left Denver
last night. 1t is not known how many
passengers were aboard, but the cars, Il.
usual this season, were all filled.
The scene of the robbery is in a wild
mountainous country at the foot of Mar

Little arms, so tightly clasped
Round my neck at dead of night
When some unexpected sound
Wakes my darling in alright
Do you guess your magic power
AS each fear your mother Gains?
Do you know how strong you are,
Little arms?
Little arms whose tender touch
Dearer grows from year to year.
AS to mothers love you turn,
Trusting her to dry each tear.
Do not fear that she will chide,
AS, secure from all alarm,
You so fondly cling to her,
Little arms.
Little arms, if in the years
You should reach toward her in vain
If no loving touch responds
Soothing all your grief and pain,
May the Father up above
Keep you from the sin which harms,
Drawing you close, close to him,
Little arms.
