CHAFFEE EXPLAINS.
Gives Reasons for the Campaign
Against the Moros.

New York. April 24.-Major General
Adna r. Chaffee, in an address on the
Physical Aspect of the Philippines" at
the social meeting of John D. Rocke-
feller's Bible class in the Fifth Avenue
Baptist church last evening, gave some
of the reasons for the campaign against
the NToros. He said in part:
In February last year. after We had
had soldiers killed. shot down in the
outskirts of camp by natives we were
trying to treat with kindness. we saw
that there was no other way than force
went down to the Moro country in
person to investigate, and ultimately We
went to the cato and demanded some
Of the murderers of our soldiers. 1t
was on May , that General Baldwin
took the fort of the datto who was in
solent and refused to surrender the
prisoners
we did not get on very good terms
with these Moros. They are a very sus-
pieious people, and want to be LETT
alone. For the matter of that. we did
not want 10 disturb their religion or
their customs except where, IN the Ia t.
ter respect, we could help them You
have recently heard of Captain Per-
shing, who is in the Moro country now.
Well. TO illustrate, may say that there
was one sultan whom Captain Pershing
had invited time and time again to
come and talk with him. and instead Of
coming the sultan kept fortifying him
self all the year, and finally waved his
old red flag at US and dared US to come
or. We came, and the sultan isn't there

TWO WASHINGTONS,
Carnegie Says, VIII Figure in
Future History.

New York, April 24.-The trustees of
the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial in
stitute in Alabama have received $780,
900 toward the endowment fund from
Andrew Carnegie who attended the re-
cent meeting in behalf Of the Tuskegee
institute, where ex-President Cleveland
presided The trustees will meet soon
to take formal action in accepting the
gift and at the same. time to take
measures to still further increase the
endowment Mr.. Carnegie's letter con-
veying the gift reads as follows:
William H. Baldwin, Jr. Trustee:
My Dear Friends-I have Instructed
Mr.. Franks. my cashier to deliver to
you as trustee or att. .kegee institute
$4,000 five per cent United States Steel
company first mortgage bonds toward
the endowment fund.
I give this without reservation ex-
cept that / require that suitable pro-
vision be made from the gift for the
wants of Booker Washington and his
family during his own or his wifes life.
wish that great and good man to be
entirely free from pecuniary cares, that
he shall be free to devote himself to his
great mission.
To me he seems one of the greatest
of living men because his work is
unique, the modern Moses who leads
his race and lifts it through educa ton
to even better and higher things than a
land overfiowing with milk and honey.
History is to tell of two Washingtons,
one white, the other black. both fathers
of their people.
Il am satisfied that the serious race
problem of the south is to be solved
wisely only through Mr.. Washington s
policy of education-which he seems TO
have been specially born-a slave
among slaves-to establish and in his
own daV greatly to advance
Glad am 1 to be able to assist this
good work in which you and others so
zealously labor. Truly yours,

Awake to Find Their Money and
YaIuables Gone.
THE THIEVES ESCAPED.
Entered and Robbed Emigrant
Sleeper in Yards.
Entire Job Melted Them About
a Thousand Dollars.

Lincoln, Neb, April 24.-Passengers
on Burlington train No. Al were held
up and robbed of $1,000 early this morn
ing as the train was leaving the Bur-
Hngton union station in Lincoln. The
train has been robbed three times with
in one hundred miles of Lincoln. The
robbery last fall netted $4,000 to the
men who did the work and no trace of
them has ever been found.
The work this morning was accom-
plished mostly while the passengers
from branch and feeder lines of the
Burlington were in the depot awaiting
the arrival of transcontinentaI trains
Many of the persons in the depot were
asleep and did not know they had been
robbed until the noise arose as the train
was pulling into the station. The
presence of the robbers was first dis
covered by q woman. She screamed
and the people in the waiting room
gathered around her Investigation
proved d majority of them had been
robbed. The confusion permitted the
robbers to escape. Later they made
their presence known on board an emf
grant sleeper The conductor and por-
ter. with passengers were herded into
one end of the car and the search in
stituted by one man while the other
held the crowd back with guns. They
left the train between Lincoln and Mil
ford.
The descriptions wired back by the
conductor of the train indicate that
four men We're engaged in the hold up.
The station authorities saw but two
men and the conductor caw only two.
but the descriptions offered do not
agree although both are positive the
mysterious part of the robbery is the
disappearance Of the men They turned
and went the length of the sleeper into
a Pullman sleeper. The conductor and
/ porter followed shortly but could find
no trace Of them The train had not
slowed up in speed and the vestbules
were all closed. Two men were ar
rested on suspicion Of being implicated
/ in the robbery They were held until
( noon BY the police of Lincoln.
