NEWSPAPERS
TAKE IT UP
Lack of Definite Information as to the
Result of the Commission's Visit
. to Washington Chiefly Responsible
for the Unrest Date of the Meet
ing of the Santa Cruz Assembly
Postponed to February 15.
New York, Jan. 27. A dispatch to
the Tribune from Havana Jeays: The
payment of the insurgent troops is. be
coming an urgent question, and much
unrest exists, due partly to the lack of
definite information from the commis
sion which visited Washington. All
newspapers are filled with articles on
the subject. Some are violent, but the
. aaajority content themselves with urging
the importance of d definite plan which
will result in the disbandment .of the
troops ' and the formation of a por
tion of them into a rural police under
' American military authorities. It is al
so noted that the agitation ' is much
greater in Havana, where all the politi
cians gather, than in the country, where
the Cuban soldierB are. ' -
The executive committee of the Santa
Cruz assembly has fixed the date of the
reassembling of that body February 15,
, instead of February 6. ' Its purpoee is to
await the report of tbe Washington com
mission and also to secure tbe presence
. of Gomez. The latter is now keeping m
closer touch with his followers. The ex
ecutive committee .in an address pub
lished today counsels patience until - tbe
payment ot the troops is settled. It
speaks of 45,000 Cuban soldiers, but tbe
Cubans themselves know better.
Tbe committee, has arranged with
General Ludlow for the celebration of
the fourth anniversary-of the revolution
on February 24tb, and the expectation
is to have Gomez then disband his
armed followers. "
Customs frauds are receiving; severe
checks. Yesterday some silk consigned
to Chinese merchants was seized, and
today a fruit steamer named Victoria,
from South American ports, was de
tained for false entry of a cargo of cocoa
nuts. A hitch has occurred in the proceed
ings for the transfer 'of the San Jose
wharves and warehouses to a- Boston
syndicate, and tbe consummation ot the
sale is uncertain. The delay is due to
the attitude of tbe present owners, who
want further concessions, though they
have not raised their price. The $350,000
forfeit put up by the American capital
ists remains, and their offer holds good.
Charles E. Watson, their representative,
will return to Boston by tomorrow's
steamer. '
THEY WERE DE
TECTED IN TIME
Two Convicts Make a Futile Attempt to
Escape From the Penitentiary.
. Salem, Or., Jan. 27. Geo. Johnson
and Charles Williams, committed to the
penitentiary in 1897 for holding up an
O. E. & N. train near Portland, at
tempted to escape last night.- Both
were confined in one cell. They cut tbe
bars on the door and succeeded in reach
ing the upper tier of cells next to the
ceiling, where they began to - bore
through the ceiling with a brace and
bit. The inside watchman was at sup
per, at the time, but the outside watch
man heard the noise of boring and'
sounded an alarm:' Tbe convicts were
ordered'down at the point of a gun, and
said: ''Don't shoot, and we will come
down." They had their bedding and a
pair of tinner's nippers, and it is enp
posed that they intended to make use of
the bedding to reach tbe ground outside
ot tbe wall, had they succeeded in get
ting through the roof. They are now
confined in a dungeon. The sentences
are thirty years and seven months each.
Both men were this afternoon tied u
to posts' and given the regulation
flogging. .. . ,

THE DISPATCH
WAS INTERCEPTED
Agoncillo Said to Have Advised Aguin
aldo to Strike a Blow at Once
Filipino Representative Says He
i
Has ' Not Counseled Any Radical
Action. v '
. Chicago, Jan. 27. A special to the
Record from Washington says-: When
Agoncillo learned that the senate had
set a day for voting on the ratification
of the peace treaty he prepared a- dis
patch in tbe Filipino junta at Hong
Kong, conveying the news, and is re
ported to have added the suggestion that
if Aguinaldo was to forcibly contest
American control he should strike tbe
blow at once, as with the treaty ratified
and further reinforcements the Ameri
cans would be in a better position to
maintain order.
This dispatch, it is said, was inter
cepted and brought, to the attention of
the president and Secretaries- Long ' and
Alger. " . .y
. There is no intention on the part of
the administration, so far' as can be
learned, to disturb Agoncillo and hia as
sociates, but their arrest or deportation
wonld promptly follow the declaration
of war against the- United Stales by
Aguinaldo and his associates. ' ' ,
Washington, Jan. 27. Agoncillo, the
representative Aguinaldo, authorized
the following statement today, concern
ing the published reports that the gov
ernment had intercepted dispatches
from him to Aguinaldo in which head
vised' that tbe Filipinos would ' have
to fight, for their independence, and now
was tbe time to act : . . ,
"The statement is absolutely false and
is calculated to excite feeling and ani
mosity in the country, and to- prejudice
the Filipinos' cause. No euch telegram
has . ever been sent by me. The falsity
of the statement is shown by the fact
that I have cabled my government to
continue the friendship which was born
on the battle-field againet Spain."
"The. Philippine peopleliave no wish
and no purpose to fight against the
Americans unless they are driven to it.
'J heir only desire is to strengthen tbe
bonds now existing."

GARLAND DEAD
Stricken With , Apoplexy While Ad
dressing the Supreme Court
Washington, Jan. ; 26. Former Attorney-General
Augustus H. Garland
was stricken with apoplexy while ad
dressing the United States supreme
court at 12:15 this afternoon, and died
within 10 minutes. Mr. Garland epoke
calmly, and with no evidence of agita
tion or effort. He had read from a .hw
volume, and had followed with the
sentence: "This your honors, is our
contention." As the last word was
uttered, Mr. -Garland tottered and fell
heavily to the floor. Senator Gallihger,
who is a physician,' was .near at band.
A single glance told him that the attack
would be fatal. Within ten minutes
from the time of the stroke Mr. Garland
breathed his last. Tbe court meantime
had postponed the case in which Mr.
Garland was interested, and had pro
ceeded with other business. ,
Word of the tragedy was soon noised
through the capital', and senators and
representatives hurried to the court
room. ' The two ' Arkansas senators,
Messrs. Berry and Jones, were among
the first to view the body, and following
them was a long line of persons high in
legislative and legal circles, who had
been associated with Mr. Garland at
various times in his long and. notable
public service. ?

A STORY
OF HORROR
Eleven Sailors Escaped Death in a Sink
ing Ship Only to Be Captured and
Tortured and Eaten by Cannibals.
Vancouver, B. C , Jan. 27. After es
caping death by drowning, eleven of the
crew of the ship Manbare were captured
and eaten by cannibals of New Guinea.
The Manbare was bound for Sydney,
Australia, when it was caught in, the
terrible gale of December. Near Cape
Nelson it began to sink. The crew,
eighteen all told, left the vessel in two
Doats, and soon became separated. One
boat, containing twelve men, was final
ly thrown ashore ten miles from the
cape. . .
The eailors were seized by natives
from the interior and hurried off to the
village oi the chief. One man, James
Greene, escaped. The sailors were
stripped and bound and killed, one each
day. A wild orgie was participated in
by at least 100 savages, who had gath
ered for the feast.
'In several cases the sailors were tor
tured by tbe old women and children of
tbe tribe. The eyes of one were gouged
out.' The doomed men stoically watched
the elaborate preparations for. their
death. A huge pot filled with boiling
water was used for the feast, which on
tbe first day was prolonged away into
the night. In most cases the men were
beheaded, their heads being stuck on
poles and paraded before tbe men who
were to Buffer the same fate.
Greene was rescued bya'Bteamer after
tramping without food a day and a night
to reach the coast. The scenes of horror
he had witnessed turned his hair snowy
white. ; -
La Grippe is again epidemic. Every
precaution should be taken to avoid it.
Its specific cure is One Minute Cough
Cure. A. J. Shepard, publisher Agri
cultural Journal and Advertiser, Elden,
Mo.,' says : "No one will be disappoint
ed in using One Minute Cough Cure for
La Grippe." Pleasant to take, quick to
