STRATEGY IS BAFFLING
BRITISHERS FORCED TO ADMIRE
OBWETS MANEUVERS.
Doers Cut Lord Roberta Communica
tion and Captured a Party
of Highlanders.
LONDON, July 23. A blue book has
been Issued containing the official corre
spondence with reference to the treat
ment of rebels in South Africa. It con
tains an interesting note by Sir Alfred
Mllner. British High Commissioner, esti
mating the number of Colonials -who
Joined the Boers at 10.000. Mr. Chamber
lain, Secretary of State for the Colonies,
lays down the rulehat there should be
no vlndlctlveness in the treatment of
rebels, but that Justice to the loyalists
Is the obligation of dutvi-and honor.
The London mornlngflkpers feel com
pelled to recognize General Dewet's strat
egy In baffling the British to such an ex
tent while constantly harassing the Brit
ish lines of communication. Only the
scantiest details have been allowed to
come through. Apparently, when night
fall stonned the engagement with Colonel
Broadwood. General Dewet's forces dlvld-
ed Into small parties, one of which cut
the railway and captured the Highland- 1
ers. the Boers arterwaras reuniting ai i

The latest advices from Pretoria an
nounce that General Stevenson's brigade
has occupied Eland's Laagte and that
General Hamilton has occupied Doorn
kraal. Letters reaching London from the Brit
ish troops" in Orange River Colony assert
that both men and horses are on short
supplies and are not fit for hard work.
If this be true, there Is little cause for
wonder at the failure to capture Dewet.
and at the apparent paralysis of opera
tions. DEWET'S BOLD RAID.

Dewey Denies the Statements of
Rebel General Alejandrino.
WASHINGTON, July 23. The letter re
ceived by Senator Pettlgrew from one
of Agulnaldo's Generals, J. Alejandrino,
containing an alleged account of an In
terview between himself and Admiral
Dewey on board the Olympla, April, 1898,
in which it is stated Admiral Dewey
promised Independence to the Filipinos
was shown to the Admiral today by an
Associated Press reporter. The Admiral
characterized it a "tissue of falsehoods."
He declared It absurd on Its face. "I
not only had no power to promise Inde
pendence to the Filipinos,' said he, "but
the whole tenor of the words put In
my mouth stamps them as false. I am
made to say things which I never thought
of, and which I could never have ut
tered. You will notice that I am ad
dressed In the alleged Interview as 'Ad

The Admiral sold he had never heard QUty of the United States Government to

that they were anxious about at that
time was an end of the tyranny of Spain
against which they had been fighting.
After the destruction of Montejo's fleet
the city virtually surrendered, and I am
satisfied that If we had had 5000 troops
there at that time we could have gone
ashore and been received by the Filipinos
as deliverers. They had absolutely no
thought then of Independence. That was
an after thought of their leaders during
the interim between the smashing of the
Spanish fleet and the arrival of the
United States troops,"
Speaking of the report that Cuba was
to be evacuated by tho American troops
after the holding of the constitutional
convention. Admiral Dewey said he did

WHAT YOUTSEY TOLD HIM.
Militia Officer's Importnat Testimony
at Powers Trial.
GEORGETOWN, Ky.. July 25. The
courtroom was jonly about half filled
with spectators when the Powers
case was called today. The pros
ecution gave notice that they would
excuse half a dozen persons sum
moned as witnesses for that side.
Among those excused was Ike Golden,
brother of Sergeant F. Wharton Golden.
Lieutenant John Rtcketts, an officer In
the Barboursvillc militia, of which John
Powers was Captain, was the first wit
ness today. He arrived in Frankfort
January 25, with the tralnload of moun
taineers. Before the train reached Frank
fort witness said the men were told to
report to W. H. Culton for rations. The
men were armed with guns and pistols.
Arriving at Frankfort, they took pos
session of the agricultural buildings and
stacked their guns there. Witness saM
each morning a crowd of from 300 to 00
mountain men occupied the yard In front
of the executive building. Witness had
a conversation with Youtsey the day be
fore the assassination. Youtsey said that
Goebel had to be put out of the way.
"" c "w u hju uc wu.v
give for that purpose, and know 10 or
12 men who would also contribute to
such a fund. Youtsey also said Goebel
could be killed from the executive build
ing; that the assassin could escape
through the basement, and never be de
tected. Fifteen mlnu.tes before the assas
sination, witness saw Youtsey, and the
latter told him he wanted 25 or 33 men
to accompany him to the executive build
ing. Continuing, the witness said:
"Youtsey put us Inside the executive
building, near the stairs. He told us
something was going to happen, and we
must remain there. When he started
through the hall. I left, and went into
a private residence across the street
from the building. I had been there onlr
a few minutes when I heard the shot. I
did not know any of the men whom I
left at the foot of the stairs in the execu
tive building."
Witness explained that the men whom
Youtsey placed there were Just outside
the office of the Secretary of State. He
said He left because he did not want to
be present In case of a killing.
On cross-examination, the witness said
that when Youtsey placed the men In
the hall he told them as soon as "some
thing happened" a man would come down
the ste3 and go away with them. Wit
ness said that when Youtsey left the men
he went In the direction of the Govern
or's office.
R. E. Coombs, private secretary to
Appellate Judge Hobt-on, was the next
witness. He told of a conversation be
tween two mountaineers in the House
lobby a day or two before the assassina
tion. In which they spoke of "picking
them out," meaning the Democrats.
In the cross-examination of Coombs,
ex-Governor Brown objected to testimony
that mountaineers went to Frankfort
armed, as the right to carry arms was
a Constitutional privilege. The court took
Issue on this point and said that the law
did not permit crowds of armed men not
In the military service and called out In
the regular way to gather for any pur
pose. Assistant Adjutant-General Murray
read a letter which he found on file in
his office at Frankfort, having been left
there at the time of the evacuation of
the Taylor troops. It was from Powers
to Adjutant-General Collier, dated Janu
ary 22. Powers says: "We have under
taken a serious matter. We must win.
We must have the men and guns."
MISSIONARIES RESPONSIBLE.
Rev. Mac Arthur, of Chicago, on the
Chinese Trouble.
NEW YORK, July 23. Rev. Robert S.
MacArthur. preaching in Calvary Bap
tist Church last night on the subject,
"Why Do the Heathen Rage?" said:
"The heathen are raging, that is cer
tain. China amazes the world. Five
years ago Japan alone annihilated her
army and navy. Now she defies all the
European Nations. China has been called
the riddle of the world; the jest of all
nations.
"Doubtless some missionaries are large
ly responsible for the present uprising in
China. All the missionaries who refrain
from civil functions and confine them
selves simply to preaching the gospel are
not responsible for these uprisings. They
follow the American Idea of separation
of church and state. They do not In
terfere between their converts and the
Chinese authorities.
"Those missionaries who combine civil
authority with their religious instruction
are partly responsible for- the condition
of things in China. More than 300 years

"Some missionaries actually sit as Jus

other temporal penalties. They soon sur

kingly rulers, and the native heathen do
not distinguish between the ecclesiastical
and civil rule. The result Is an anti
foreign feeling. An anti-foreign spirit has
been developed, and no one can help but
see that the first attack Is made upon
the missionaries who have assumed to
exercise civil power.

Kumassl, July 15. as presenting a scene
of horror and desolation, burned houses
and putrid bodies being visible on all
sides. He adds that the native soldiers
were too weak to stand, and that the
British officers thanked God for the re

COMPLAINT AGAINST DOLE.
Appointed All Republican
Registration Hoard.
on the
SAN FRANCISCO, July 23. Advices
from Honolulu, dated July 16, state that
there Is dissatisfaction expressed with
Governor Dole's boards of registration.
The objection Is not to tho individuals ap
pointed, but to the fact that they are
all Republicans. There Is not a Demo
crat on any of the Island boards, so far as
the politics of the Individuals composing
them can be found out, except R- C.
Scarle, of the Maul board, and it is claim
ed there can not be more than one or two
who have not publicly declared themselves
Republicans. With these exceptions the
entire peneonnel of the board Is Repub
lican. Governor Dole was seen and made the
following statement:
"If a mistake has been made in select
ing the boards of registration, there were
two reasons for it. First, I was Ignorant
of the custom on the mainland In regard
to such appointments, and followed the
custom we have pursued here all along.
Not consulting the heads of the respective
central committees may be regarded as
an omission due to that reason. Second, I
the parties have been organized so recent
ly that It was Impossible for me to find
out without a great deal of correspond
ence and delay, the politics of each man
selected for pcsitlons on the boards."
The Governor expressed himself as anx
ious to make the boards as near non
partisan or bi-partisan as possible, in the
new light of things. He did not say he
was disposed to remodel the list of ap
pointments. Emlle Uhlbrccht, at one time a cham
pion bicyclist In the United States, was
drowned on July 15, while gathering sea
shells with some companions. Uhlbrecht
won the Chicago road race In the early
90s, and was later the champion of South,
era California.

I esc, according to Mr. Nabeshlma's letter.
should not be Included with Chinese In
anything. He says they are not given
to plague, and never have been; that the
suggestion of the Colorado Board of
Health of such fact Is rather an exhi

derstanding of race conditions. In San
Francisco, he maintains that Japanese
do not mix with the Chinese, or In any
other part of the world. In concluding
he states very plainly that the Imperial
Government of Japan will Insist that the
race shall not be discriminated against.

with the State Board of Health In regard
to the quarantine, which Is still effective

BALMY SUMMER THE SEASON
FOR TREATING DISEASE
What Summer Means
in the Cure of Catarrh
There are contracted during the periods
of Fall, Winter and Spring those ca
tarrhal conditions of the head and throat
and other parts that are engaged in
carrying air to the lungs. The changeable
weather, the cold spells followed by warm
periods with thaw3 and dampness, to
gether with a necessity during the cold
weather of living Indoors with the house
shut up and often overheated, the Impure
air of closed buildings, all tend to the
development of disease of those parts
which carry the air to the lungs and to
the ears. Not only does the Inclemency 'of
Spring. Fall and Winter produce such diseases,
but the came causes that produce the diseases
alro interfere with the efforts of the doctor to
cure mem. Jjuiog me summer raonms wihks
are dtfforent. The climate is warmer, the high
winds load-d with dusty particles that Irrl- I
tate the diseased parts that carry the air are
absent: there Is plenty of fresh air, as the
house is kept open, and this, together with
outdoor life, so Improves the general health
that Nature 1 able to Improve all those dls
eaes that attack the breathing tracts and
ears. Thus, In the treatment of all catarrhal
diseases, thit which has been frequently
urged Is true, namely, that one month of
treatment during the Summer, when the liabil
ity to catching cold Is reduced to the mini
mum and Nature lend hor aid to the phjsl
clan. Is worth two months of the most skillful
and conscientious treatment during Winter.
Catarrh 25 Years
Cured' by the
Copeland Treatment
Mr. H. Thompson, Sycamore, Mult
nomah County, Oregon: I went to the
Copeland Institute to be treated for ca
tarrhal disease of the nose, throat and
stomach of about 25 years standing. The
Symptoms I Suffered From
Were those nearly always given by those
ai,.oA m, ,,t,rrv
afflicted with catarrh
"Cold In the head all the time and nose
always so stopped up that I couldn't
breathe through It."
31 r. H. Thompson, Sycamore, Multno
mah County, Oregon.
"Constant dropnlnc of mucus and ever
lasting hawking and spitting."
"Distracting headache, nose bleed and
loss of smell."
"Defective hearing, especially In the
right car."
"Bad taste in the morning, with no
relish for breakfast."
"A changeable, craving appetite."
"Misery after eating, with bloating and
belching and growing Inability to digest
food."
"Restless nights, with the necessity to
rise and clear tho throat."
"Loss of weight and vitality."
This was
The Wretched State I Had
Drifted Into. I was always doctoring, but
without any lasting benefit. I could hard,
ly have been worse If I had never used
a drop of medicine. Finally I went to
the Copeland Institute and they soon
made a new man of me. My appetite
returned, I gained In weight and the
catarrh left me. When I began treat
ment I could not hear my watch tick
unless pressed close to the right ear; now
I hear as well as any one.

WASHKnGTON, July 23. The Govern-
Opportunities of
Summer to the Deaf.
It has been seen, even during the In
clement and unfriendly Influence of the
severe Winter weather, and the change
able weather of Spring and Fall, how this
treatment, even against the Influences of
the climate and weather, restores the lost
hearing to those of all ages, and regard
less of the original cause. As Is well
known. In Southern climates deafness Is
not nearly bo prevalent as In the North.
The reason for this Is that In a mild
climate the Inflammation which closes the
Eustachian Tube, thus causing deafness,
Is subdued more easily. So. from now
t.. rvTivirVc tronfTn..-nh trJll
on Doctor Copeland s treatment will
have the wonderful benefits or Mature s
help. Instead of the trying influences of
her opposition, as It has had during tho
harsh Winter and Spring months. During
the Winter and early Spring the Influence
of the wonderful medication finds con
stant opposition to Its work In opening up
the inflamed and exposed passages lead
ing from the throat to the Inner ear.
Hence, one month of treatment during
the Summer Is worth at least two months
In the Winter.
DISCHARGING EARS AND DEAFNESS
Mrs. M. Douthlt, Postofflce address
Portland: Many years ago I had diph
theria and since that time have been
troubled with my ears. There wa3 a con
stant discharge from both ears. Some
times It was merely a little watery dis
charge; at other times it was thick and
foul. I had sharp, shooting pains through
the ears, and a terrible Itching. At times
this would nearly set me wild. The eara
were dry and scaly.

voice. At church I could not hear what
the minister said unless I was right up
In front. I could not hear the clock tick
except when close tip to It. There was a
continual buzzing and roaring in my head
and a stopped-up feeling.
Under the treatment given me at the
Copeland Institute my ears healed and
my hearing returned. I will gladly
answer any letters, for I am always
pleased to recommend the treatment that
has done so much for me.
