« imi tritt Nebraska’s State Prison at Lin coln Burning. THE LOCAL MALITIA WAS ORDERED OUT All of the Convicts Were Moved to Piece of Safety—Lincoln's Fire Department on the Scene Working Heroically. Lincoln, Neb., March 2.—Fire which started in the satte penitentiary last night eeeme certain to destroy the en tire main building, together with the cellhouse and other buildings. Just after 2 o'clock this morning a telephone message came, saying the room in which the telephone instrument was located was in Hames, and must be vacated. This cuts off the only means of immediate communication with the prison, which is nearly four miles from the business district of the city. Between 1 and 2 o’clock, however, a member of the Lincoln fire department telephoned that the penitentiary proper was doomed and that the fire was spreading. Before the flames had ’ gained great headway. Warden Daivs gave orders to release the convicts ! from the cells and march them to the prison yard under double guard. The removal was accomplished without dis order. The origin of the fire is unknown. When first discovered, the officers of the institution all set to work with the small fire-fighting apparatus of the prison. Water was ueed in abundance, but assistance from the city fire de partment was called for. A short time after midnight Warden Davis said he did not have the fire under control, but he could not tell how bad it was burn ing in the upper story, and at the front ol the building its spread was slow. Later the report came that the fire was a very bad one. At 1:40 A. M. the city fire depart ment arrived, and began throwing water on the walls. The flames had gained too great hoaaway, however, and the firemen directed their efforts to saving of the remote buildings. By request of the warden. Chief of Police Hoagland sent all available po licemen to aid in preserving order. Later, as an additional measure of safe ty, Lieutenant-Governor Savage order ed out the local company of state mili tia. Captain Kinger, with a majority of the members, is at the armory, and a Burlington engine and coach will start with them at 3 o’clock. SURRENDER OF No Confirmation of the BOTHA. Rumors Current in England. London, March 2.—The Daily News says: "We learn that Commandant-Gen eral Botha offered to surrender on cer tain conditions and that pour parleurs are still in progress. It is believed that Mrs. Botha brought proposals from her husband to Lord Kitchener.” | The Sun says it is officially an nounced that Botha has surrendered to General Kitchener. ;The Ball Mall Gazette credits the news of Botha's surrender, but a representative of the press learns that neithei the war, tor- eign or colonial office has any infor mation confirming the report. Tha war secretary, Mr. Broderick, an nounced in the house of commons this afternoon that he had no official infor mation of the surrender. Manchester, En land, March 2.— The Evening Mail says General Botha formally surrendered to General Kitch ener shortly before 10 o’clock this morning. TOO EARLY FOR WITHDRAWAL The Cubans Are Not Able to Form a Stable Government. Uew York, March 2.—Several of the passengers on the steamer Havana, which has just arrived from Havana, express the opinion that Cuba is not in a political condition to receive her in dependence. D t . W. C. Phelps, of Buffalo, said: ‘‘Uncle Sam must stay in Cuba. Everybody witli whom I conversed in Cuba wants the United States to stay there. It is only the rabble, or ne groes. consisting of about 30 per cent of the entire population of Cubs, who yell for ‘‘free Cuba.’ and these shiftless people are ‘fire eaters.’ If they got their freedom some other nation would step in and take the island away from them for debt. 1 must say that the streets of Havana are clean, and that the genera) health is remarkably good. The great trouble in Cnba is that there is nothing fit to eat.” Joseph Howard, the journalist, says: ‘‘If the United States tries to leave Cuba next June, as is talked of, sold iers will have to get back there pretty quick to avert a state of anarchy which would undoubtedly follow their withdrawal. Capital is apprehensive. There is no trade. Al) are waiting. Americans and the capitalists waut the retention of the United States troops. ’ * _______________ A RAID AT MIDNIGHT. Rum Destroyers of Topeka Participate In Riot Filipino Ex-Rebels Swearing by the Flag— —One of Their Number Shot. American Sentiment Spreads. Topeka, Kan,, Feb. 28.—J. W. Adams lies at a hospital, hovering be tween life and death. He was shot during a raid on a North Topeka wholesale liquor house. At midnight a crowd of citizens, heavily armed with revolvers, sledge hammers, crowbars and a battering ram, broke into the wholesale liquor house of “Cash” Curtis, on West Cur tis street, and smashed the beer casks found there. Three policemen drove the crowd back. Both the policemen and the citizens fired their revolvers, and J. W. Adams, a carpenter, was shot twice in the breast. He was taken in a back to Riverside hospital, where he lies in a precarious condition. Dr. M. R. Mitchell and Rev. F. W. Emerson were arrested. Rev. Mr. EmeiBon was taken to the police sta tion, where he was booked under the charge of resisting an officer. Ilis left hand was cut and bleeding. He was allowed to go upon his own recogniz ance. Dr. Mitchell took the injured man to the hospital and was allowed to stay and administer to him without giving boud. The three policemen, Patrolmen Downey and Boyles and Private 1 Watchman Conners, claim that Adams was shot by his own crowd while he was retreating from the place where the liquors were smashed, and Adams says he was shot by a policeman. Officer Downey says he did not arrive at the scene of the trouble till it was about over. Officer Boyles, who car ries a Colt’s 44-caliber revolver, claims that the two shots he fired were in the air, and that he did not aim at any one. Dr. Mitchell and Dr. Charles W ! Hammond, who cared for Adams at the hospital, say that he was shot with a 82 or 38-caliber revolver. Manila, March 1.—Pro-American sentiment is spreading in insurgent strongholds. Six hundred and sixty- five persona voluntarily took the oatn of allegiance at Cameling, province of Albay, at one time re,eirted as the worst iusurgeut center, and 384 took the oath at Calamba. Captain Chase, with a detachment of the Tweuty-tirst regiment, in a three days’ scouting expedition, dis persed 200 insurgents and destroyed theiir main camp, that of Pedro Ba- bellos. Lieutenant James, with a de tachment of the Eighth infantry, raided a ladroue rendezvous at Mac- qniling, island of Polillo, killing two men, securing 176 prisoners and des- troving 20 tons of rice and other insur gents’ supplies. The armored cruiser Brooklyn has returned here from Hong Kong. Additional evidence against Carman and Carranza, the merchants accused of dealiug with the insurgents, has developed. The investigation into the charges against them is being vigor ously prosecuted. CLASH OF AUTHORITY. Commander of Transport Refused to Allow Custom.Hsuse Men Aboard. Vallejo, Cal., Feb. 28.—The naval transport Solace, direct from Manila and Honolulu, camo to the navy yard Sunday and the same evening she was followed by four customs inspectors from San Francisco. When the officers attempted to board the vessel for the purpose of making a search for dutiable goods they weie met with a protest by Commander Winslow, who refused them permission and denied their right to make a search. Under the law. the commander of a man-of-war is recognized as an officer of the customs service, and, therefore, is bound to prevent smuggling Con sequently his ship is exempt from visits of customs officers. Commander Winslow holds that the Solace is also outitled to such exemption under this clause, and that is where he differs from the customs inspectors, who have already seized severaL articles that have been landed frum the vessel. Commander Winslow has appealed to the collector of the port. On the last trip of the Solace a large quantity of bric-a-brac and other goods, brought from China, was con fiscated by the customs officials. AN ARMISTICE DECLARED. Kitchener and Botha Meet to Arrange for the Boerj' Surrender. London, Feb. 28.—The Daily Chron icle this morning publishes under re serve a rumor that Lord Kitchener has met General Botha to arrange terms of surrender of the Boers, and that an armistice of 24 hours was granted the ■ Boer commandant general to enable him to consult with the other com mandants. According to the Daily Chronicle, the cabinet council yester day considered this new turn of affairs. I “It is reported that General Lewis Botha is now between Ermelio and Middleburg,” says a dispatch to the Daily Mail from Pietermaritzburg, “and that two peace delegates from Belfast, Messrs. De Kock and Meyer, have been shot.” Aguinaldo's Uncle. Gnguinto, Province of Btilacan, March 1.—Jose Serapio, an uncle of Aguinaldo, and formerly an insurgent colonel, has been appointed governor of Bulaeau province. There were several candidates, including two army offi cers, but the United States commis sion was unanimously in favor of Sera pio, who surrendered during General Lawton’s progress northward and who has since been such a consistent friend of the United States that Aguinaldo published an order degrading hie uncle. There were com-iderable protests agaiust Serapio's appointment, chietiv from a delegation which lepresented the interests of the friars. The com mission announced tiiat it had investi gated the allegations made against Seiapio and found them to be untrue Captain Greenougb. of the Forty-first regiment, was appointed treasurer, and Lieutenant Wells, of the Thirty-second regiment, was appointed supervisor. The other officials appointed were na tives. All the appointments practical ly were made on General Grant’s re commendations. Although by reputation Bnlacan is not the easiest province to govern, all the local leaders and most of the in habit! nts are now friendly to the United States. The question of the selection of a capital for the province was submitted to the vote of the dele gations. Malolos, the former seat of the insurgent congress, is the best town, but Bulacan has always been the seat of the government and was easily first. The ballot was the first free voting in the Philippines, except ing at the town elections held under military orders. The delegates en joyed it immensely. Judge Taft, in admonishing the delegates, said that since they had the reputation of being gamesters, they must abide by the result and show their capability of abiding by the suffrage. During the course of his speech an nouncing his appointments, Judge Taft said nowhere had a military command er shown such benovolent consideration for the interests of the people as had General Grant. The appointment of a native governor indicated the commis sion’s confidence in the Tagals. The concluding scene of the commis sion's visit to the province was most dramatic. General Grant presented to Serapio a flag which once belonged to General Grant’s father. The Fili pinos received the flag enthusiastically, and cheered General Grant and the commissioners. Two Miner! Killed. New Whatcom, Wash., March 1.— An explosion in the Blue Canyon mine a few minutes after 6 o’clock tonight killed Ed Mulligoti and Dick Daley, two of the day gang. The night shift had not yet gone in. Daley left a wife and four children. The cause of the explosion is not yet known. The bod ies have been recovered. End of tht War Setmi Nesr. Washout in Baker County. New York, Feb. 28.—There are few additional details of the route of the Dutch forces in South Africa, says the Tribune’s London correspondent; but there is a buoyant feeling in military circles, and the end of the war seems near. There may be unforseen acci dents, but no military expert in Lon don expects that the war will be pro longed beyond the 1st of July. It is reported that there were wagers in Johanesburg at the opening of the »ear that the mines would be operated by the first week in July. Bcise, Idaho, March 1.—Bv the washing out of a bridge on the O. R. & N. at Burnt river, traffic on the line is interrupted. The conditions are such that they cannot transfer, and there will be no through train until j tomorrow evening. All trains were stopped today, but th« Oregon Short Line is running specials east from Huntington. Chinese Lon at Kueng Chang Berlin, Feb. 28.—A dispatch from Cunnt Von Waldersee says over 300 Chinese were killed when they attack ed the Germans at Kueng Chang re cently. Hoffraeister's column, which started thence, will return to Pao Ting Fn. Cause of the Conflict The conflict between the Haytians and Dominicans, on the northern fron tier of Hayti, was caused by the occu pation by Haytian troops ot some ter ritory in dispute. Trouble Among Recruits. Brazil and Portugal at Outs. San Antonio, Tex., March 2.—Gen eral McKibben, commanding the de partment of Texas, was advised late today of trouble among the recruits en ronte for San Francisco. He at once ordered a detachment of 20 men under command of Captain Beall, Third in fantry, and Lieutenant PerTy. Seventh infantry, to go to Ennis, Tex., to meet the train bearing the recruits and deal with the situation as found. No par- ticulars are known here. Oporto, Feb. 28.— It is understood the Brazilian government will demand explanations from Portugal for the at tempt made to abdact the daughter of the Brazilian consul here, and place her in a convent against her father's wishes. A collision between the po lice and people last night resulted in numbers on both sides being injured. The police invade the institute in teerch of the students, and the pro fessors protested to the gove Dment- ARE AFRAID TO REFUSE. WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW. The Demande of Kuaeia Embarrass the Chinese. Encouraging Reports Com« From the Western Centers. PEKIN, March 4.—Prince Ching and Li Hung Chang met this morn ing and had a long consultation over the new demands of Russia regard ing Manchuria, which virtually mean absolute Russian control, while at the same time China would be re sponsible should anything go wrong there. Both of the Chinese pleni potentiaries admit that they fear to refuse these demands, although rec ognizing that compliance means the loss of a province to China. They also think that compliance might mean trouble with other powers, for Russia announces that only Russians and Chinese will be allowed to trade there, except at the greatest disad vantage. Prince Ching will request the advice of the other ministers. Private Calvin, of the Ninth United States Infantry has been acquitted of the charge of manslaughter brought against him for killing a French soldier who was endeavoring to pass a post where Calvin v»as a sentinel. Bradstreet's says: Trade report« from the distributive centers at the West continue encouraging, while such measures of trade volume aa bank clearings and railway earning« indicate a considerable gain In busi ness over a year ago. Soft spots are, of course, to be found, notably in the manufacturing branches of the cotton and the wool trade, but ad vices from the dry goods and cloth ing distributors are encouraging, and it is thought will help business. The strength of iron and steel this week recalls the boom of 1899. It 1 b prob able, too, that the broad and strong consumptive demand and not the ope rations of pools or cliques, is respon sible for the steady advances. Prac tically all markets report Iron and steel higher, but special activity is noted at Pittsburg, Birmingham and Chicago; St. Louis alone reports foundry iron consumers indifferent. The cereals are without notable change, wheat and corn being frac tionally lower in a dull, scalping mar ket. Lumber is strong in price, pend ing the resumption of general build ing operations. Western advices are especially bullish. Chicago has done the heaviest business ever recorded in yellow pine and white pine. Stocks have been broken badly by the active demand. Hard woods are rather slower to respond, however, and are still unsteady, not to say weak. Cop per is less active for export, but hold flrm. while tin is again lower on foreign advices. Wheat, including flower, shipments for the week aggregate 5,233,313 bushels against 3,424,302 bushels last week. Business failures In the United States for the week number 167, as against 231 last week. Canadian failures for the week number 28, as against 24 a week ago. OATH OF ALLEGIANCE. Washington Volunteer Pensioned. Washington, March 1.—Through the efforts of Senator Turner, a pension of $8 a month, from October 6, 1899, has been allowed Henry K. Harrison, of Spokane, Wash. This is one of the first pensions granted to members of the First Washington volunteers. Harrison served as a corporal in com pany L of that regiment. Postoffices Discontinued. Washington. March 1.—The follow ing Washington postoffices will be dis continued March 1: Cooper, Garfield county; Haynie, Whatcom county; Mosher, Snohomish count), and Step toe, Whitman county. To Save Big Trees. Washington, March 1.—A commit tee appointed by the California club is in this city making efforts to pre vent the destruction Of the Calaveras big trees. A bill providing for the pur chase of these trees by the government has passed the senate, but at thia late day it seems improbable that it will he bronght before the house. The committee has decided to raise a fund by popular subscription for the pur- , chase ol the trees. All Important Rivers and Harbors of the West to be Visited. HOUSE COMMITTEE WILL VISIT COAST June the Time for the Trip— The House Mili tary Committee Plans a Like Journey — Galveston. Tex.. First to be Visited. WASHINGTON, March 4. — The river and harbor committee of the house has Informally decided on a junket to the Pacific Coast next June, with a view of inspecting the more Important rivers and harbors of the West. It is proposed to first stop at Galveston, then proceed to Southern California, and up the entire Pacific Coast. Invitations have already been received from various chambers of commerce in California and Washing ton to have the committee visit ports In those states, and the Oregon dele gation will unite in an invitation to the committee to visit Portland, the mouth of the Columbia river, and other Important points in Oregon. Representative Tongue expressed this desire to the committee, and Mr. Moody will make a special request that the Upper Columbia be visited, so that the committee may realize the Importance of overcoming the obstructions at The Dalles and Celilo. The delegation hopes that its in vitation may be supplimented by others from chambers of commerce and similar bodies of Portland and other Oregon cities. The house military committee has also planned a Pacific Coast trip. They expect to visit the important points and army posts on the coast, with a view of gathering information as to the harbor, transport and ship ping facilities, and the capacity and condition of the barracks. Portland and Vancouver barracks are among the points to be visited. AMERICAN FORCE IN CHINA. Chaffee Has Orders Further to Re duce It. WASHINGTON March 4 —Carrying out the policy inaugurated by the state department when it changed its military force in China into a lega tion guard, the war department has sent orders to General Chaffee to re duce still further his force. The general has now under his command about 1,800 men, composed of Troops I, K, L and M, Sixth Cavalry; Battery F, Fifth Artillery, and the Ninth In fantry. Although nominally a lega tion guard, General Chaffee’s force is rather a formidable offensive quantity, and not desirous of retain ing an unnecessary menace to th« Chinese court and in order to hold out inducements for its early return to Pekin, the United States govern ment sometime ago determined upon a further reduction of the American force, and the orders went forward. Considerable dlscression was left to General Chaffee in the selection of the troops to remain, and it is assumed at the departmnt that the Pekin dispatches announcing that these consist of two companies of the Ninth Infantry, under Major Robert son, is correct. If the other powers represented at Pekin can be induced to follow this policy, It is hoped that a long step will have been effected toward the restoration of normal con ditions at Pekin. Great Telephone Combination. YORK, Pa., March 4.—A movement Tias been inaugurated In this city having in view the organization under one management of all the Independ ent telephone lines in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and West Vir ginia. A committee of officials from the various lines in this state has been appointed to work out the basis on which the different companies will be admitted to the new organization. The new company will be capitalized ai 127,000,000, and its promoters con template that it will ultimately em brace under one management all th« lines in the United States. RUSSIA PRESSING CHINA. To Rush Through the T reaty. Manchurian LONDON, March 4.—Sir Ernest Satow and Mr. Conger, after consult ing with the missionaries, have de cided, according to the Pekin corre spondent of the Morning Post to re ject the Chinese proposition, made on the suggestion of M. Picheon that they should act as representatives of the Ministers of the powers to discuss with the Chinese plenipoten tiaries the missionary question, and the claims of native converts. ‘‘They are convinced, however,” says the correspondent, “that the Chinese are ready to agree to some arrangement for settling this mat ter.” “The Russians are taking advantage of the existing situation and are pressing Li Hung Chang hard to ruch through the Manchurian conven tion," says the Pekin correspondent of the Times. “More than one power liesides Japan and Englend have re monstrated with China against the ne gotiations that are proceeding at St. Petersburg. The time has come when the powers would be justified in interfering in order to prevent China negotiating with a single power, while the peoce negotiations remain uncon- eluded.” Commenting editorially upon Its Pe kin advices, the Times says: ‘‘The United States and Germany might perhaps be supposed to recog nize the mischief China's policy en tails, but President McKinley at all events seems bent on peace at any price.” FOR SMALlTSETTLERS. Congress Begin« to Understand National Irrigation. WASHINGTON, March 4.—Con gress is beginning to recognize that the national irrigation propaganda is not a scheme to irrigate vast tracts of private lands at public expense, thereby putting money into the hands of speculators and those already well able to take care of themselves; but that it contemplates the reclamation and putting upon the land of bona fide settlers—home builders. When this idea becomes firmely grounded in the minds of eastern men—that the land is not to be reclaimed and then jobbed away in large tracts, but that it Is to be safe-guarded so that It will become available for the small settler who wants to take up forty or eighty acres, and build a home upon it and stick his plow into the soil and let the water follow his furrow, then there will be very little opposition to storing, by the govern ment, of the flood waters of the west, so as to make it available for such use. Ordered to Manila. Washington, March 2.—Orders were issued today for the Third battalion of the provisional regiment organized at Fan Francisco to take passage on the transport Indiana on the 5th innt. for Manila. This battalion has been as signed to the Twentv-eighth infantry and will constitute the tint battalion of that regiment. British Steamer'i Bad Luck. Million-Dollar Mining Deal. Spokane, Wash., Marek 2.—The Chroniole states today that the trans fer ot a |l,000,()00 interest in the Palmer Mountain Tunnel Company is now tieing completed in London by Manager John Boyd. A stamp mill and concentrator costing $400,000 will lie erected on the company’a property in Okanogan county. The tunnel is now in 9,000 feet, and has cut 23 veine of ore. The interest now being sold ie treasury stock, and the $1.000,000 is to be used in further development. Bermuda, March 4. — The British steamer Caatino, after being two days out from this pert for New York, has returned for the second time with her propeller loose. The vessel sailed from Liverpool on January 19 for New York. Being blown out of tier course and short of coal, she put in at St. George’s for coal, February 12.
