NOW A WAR TO DEATH

FAILURE OF ALL NEGOTIATIONS FOR PEACE, The Filipino Proposition for * Three Months’ Armistice Abruptly Rejected by Otis—Rebels Were Workin* for Time—Fighting Renewed witbVigor. The negotiations for peace in the Philippines failed. The Filipino envoys in conference with Gen. Otis made practically

the Filipino overtures was rapidly dispelled. The Filipinos are strengthening their lines wherever possible. This and the persistency with which Aguinaldo and Luna have sent in the same proposition for an armistice leads to the belief that the Filipino leaders have been simply working for time in which to collect their forces and to permit their soldiers to recover from the state of demoralization in which the repeated victories of the Americans had thrown them. The offensive operations begun by Gens. and Hale shows that Gen. Otis shares this belief. The news from Manila regarding the failure of peace negotiations came as a surprise to the War Department. The campaign will be pursued with the utmost vigor, and it is not likely that the rainy season will offer any perceptible check to the aggressive movements of the Americans, if aggressive action shall again become necessary. Although the„ Secretary of War and Adjutant General had hoped for a speedy, peaceable solution their eyes have from the beginning of the negotiations been on the other prospect as well, as evidenced by the disposition to hurry more troops to the Philippines as re-enforcements for

Advices have been received from Manila that Gen. Wheaton captured Santo Tomas after a severe fight with the insurgents. The insurgents were routed. The town was nearly destroyed by fire. Lawton’s brigade has advanced toward Maasand, crossed the river and charged the enemy in strong intrenchments, driving him northward and inflicting considerable loss. Both Wheaton and Hale of MacArthur's division found the enemy in force, strongly intrenched and commanded by Commander-in-Chief Luna, about four miles south of San Fernando. Hale on the right, dislodged the enemy; and W’heaton. on the left, leading in person, made a brilliant charge, scattering Luna’a forces and inflicting great punishment. Several officers and enlisted men were seriously wounded.

WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

Gen. Lawton in his flanking expedition to the northeast met some difficulties. The chief of these is the inaccurate map, many roads o® it not being in existence. Gen. Otis finds it impossible to maintain telegraphic communication with Gen. Lawton. Small bands of the enemy cut the wires as fast as the signal corps can erect them. Gen. Joe Wheeler will not go to the Philippines. That has been definitely decided. He will probably be placed in command of the department of Texas, which is to be revived. A Spanish prisoner brought into the American lines states that Gen. Hale’e brigade inflicted terrible losses on the Filipinos during the fight at Quingua. He says that more than 200 Filipinos were killed in the fight. The three brigadier generals who will go to the Philippines are Gen. Fred Grant, who is now on his way from Porto Rico; Gen. Bates, recently military governor of Santa Clara province, Cuba, and Gen. S. M. B. Young'. Official dispdffhes from Manila say that ths Spanish garrison at Baler continues to hold out against the insurgents. Gen. Otis declined to accept the proposal of Gen. Rios to send Spanish troops to the relief of the beleaguered garrison. He decided to send an American force to rescue the Spaniards. At Pnlilan, a few miles east of Catampit, Wheeler’s troqp of the Fourth cavalry, while reconnoitering, encountered a small body of insurgents, who failed to return the Are of our soldiers. Instead they raised a white flag, and in the parley which followed explained that thdy had strict orders to stop fighting pending the negotiations for bn armistice; The Americans gate theta half an hour to get away. Another ernsade against sparrows has been inaugurated in Boston, the victims this time being the feathered tenants of the new South Station. It seems that great numbers of the birds have built their nests in the network of steel in the traiashed, and as fast as the nests are destroyed they are rebuilt. A few of the wiser sparrows have invaded the peak of the tower, and there they will remain until some device whereby they may be removed shall have been found. „ , A burglar in Detroit stole the piano and a stove tram the house he robbed.

CHICAGO EXPANSIONISTS MEET

Two Large Audiences Indorse the Governneat'a Philippine Policy. A pouring rain didn’t seem to dampen the enthusiasm of 6,000 Chicagoans who mgt Sunday in the Auditorium and Central Music Hall to indorse the Government’s Philippine policy. According to a dispatch, two audiences, fired by the eloquence of speakers who lauded loyalty to the Government in the present crisis, cheered at the mention of the names of the President and the heroes of the conflict in the Philippines and biased the sentiments expressed at the Central Music Hall anti-imperialistic mass meeting of a week before. Clergymen, civilians and soldiers voiced the sentiments from the platform. Almost every sentence was punctuated by applause, and when a popular war hero was named the cheers were prolonged into minutes. The Auditorium was elaborately decorated for the occasion. The speakers’ desk was draped with an American flag made by Cuban women. The faces of McKinley and Dewey were portrayed in huge proportions on the platform. The army was represented by the portrait of Col. Roosevelt and the navy by the portraits of Sampson, Schley and Sigsbee. The Naval Veterans’ Association, under command of Lieut. W. J. Wilson, and fifty strong, was conspicuous in the uniforms which Imd seen service at Santiago. Sprinkled in the audience were noticed the blue uniforms of the boys of ’9B and the gray heads of the veterans of ’6l. There were many women present, both in' the audience and on the platform. When the vote was taken on the resolution of indorsement of the administration the few anti-imperialists who were present remained seated and at once became the objects of attention. There were eries of “Put them out!” and one or two of the “antis” bid defiance to the audience by leaving the meeting. When Judge O. H. Horton called the Auditorium meeting to order at 3 o'clock there were almost 5,000 persons in the great hall. The Central Music Hall meeting was presided over by Thomas B. Bryan and about 1,200 were present. The speakers at the Auditorium were William Dudley Foulke of Indiana. Judge Richard S. Tuthill, the Rev. P. S. Henson. Bishop Samuel Fallows. George E. Adams. Gen. John C. Black and Congressman J. P. Dolliver of lowa. Letters were read from Dr. Lyman Abbott, lambert Tree, E. Benjamin Andrews, Luther I-aflin Mills and the Rev. Thomas P. Hodnett. The resolutions were read by Gen. John C. Black and declared the belief of the assemblage that the present conditions in the Philippines are the natural result of the events of the war; that the destruction of Spanish authority there left no other authority than that of the United States: that peace prevailed from the time of the American occupation until the firing by the insurgents; that every honorable means has been employed by this Government to cauae a cessation of hostilities; that faith is declared in the army and navy; that the administration has discharged its duties fully and well; that support is pledged to the American soldiers in the Philippines, and end with this sentence: “Until armed insurrection has ceased we have no terms to offer but the American terms of unconditional surrender.”

NASHVILLE AT CAIRO.

Gunboat Given Enthusiastic Welcome to Illinois. The United States gunboat Nashville arrived at Cairo, 111., and anchored in midstream in the Ohio, immediately in front of the city. Thousands of people have visited the gallant ship, from whieh the first gun of the Spanish-American war was fired, and which captured the first prize. The number of visitors Sunday has been variously estimated at from 15.000 to 20,000. and they came from six States. Severiil thousand people visited the ship during the day and many thousand were unable to get aboard. Six boats were engaged in ferrying the*erowd, and they could not handle them. The Nashville left Monday for St. Louis, the steamer Grapevine accompanying the vessel to make soundings in shoal places.

DEWEY’S SAILORS IN.

Buffalo Brines 596 Time-Expired Men from Manila. The auxiliary cruiser Buffalo, with 596 time-expired officers and men from Dewey’s fleet, has arrived at New York. The men were brought home for discharge, having been relieved by the detachment that was carried to Manila last December. On the Buffalo were forty■ine seamen who were on Dewey’s flagship when the Spanish ships were destroyed. No ceremonies of any sort marked the arrival of the vessel. As a matter of fact, it was not expected before another week's time. She made a remarkably fast voyage, being only forty-five days out from Manila.

Governor of the State of Colorado, is determined the Colorado volunteer soldiers shall be returned from the Philippines, and it is intimated that he will resort to the drastic measure of appealing to the Supreme Court if President McKinley does not order their immediate return. The Governor says the boys enlisted for the Spanish war. and as war with Spain is over there remains nothing for them to do but return to their country and homes. ■ >

FAVORS POLICY HOLDERS.

Court Decision Bits Insurance Companies’ Surplus Funds Hard. Holdem of endowment insurance policies in the mutual life insurance companies are jubilant over the decision of Justice Woodward in the appellate division of the Supreme Court of New York, which is taken to mean, unless the higher court rules otherwise, that endowment policy holders are entitled to a share of the entire surplus of the companies, instead, as at present, only that part which-the directors In their discretion set aside. ' Late advices from Australia give particulars of the terrible hurricane which swept the northeast coast of Queensland early in March, and in which fourteen white and. about 400 colored men were drowned. Eighty luggers and six schooners were wrecked. The damage amounted to about $250,000. The Arkansas Supreme Court has decided that a man cannot escape jury duty because he has not paid his poll Hr Heretofore the fact that a man had failed or had refused to pay poll tax has excluded him from such service. ’'' 'r>.■ ’ - ■ • ' ■

CARNEGIE STEPS OUT.

HE RETIRES FROM HIS GREAT STEEL PLANTS.' < > S * Henry Clay Frick Now in Command of These Interests - Likely that This Is a Step in the Formation of the G reatest Combine on Karth. Andrew Carnegie, the greatest manufacturer in the world, has sold out to the new steel trust. This removes the last obstacle to a consolidation of practically ail the steel producing companies of the United States. This will be not only the greatest trust but the greatest combination of capital and manufacturing plants in christendom. It will have a capital of $600,000,000, of which $100,000,000 will be in first mortgage 5 per cent gold bonds, $250,000,000 in preferred stock, and $250,qp0,000 in common stock. Mr. Carnegie is so retire from business permanently, turning over the controlling interest in bis vast steel making concerns to the new trust and receiving in payment the entire issue of $100,000,000 in gold bonds, which becomes a mortgage not only upon the Carnegie mills but upon all the other steel mills owned by the trust, with $500,000,000 of stock back of them.

WINTER WHEAT OUTLOOK FAIR.

Reports in Some State* Are Bad, but Ot her* Good. Reports on the condition of winter wheat have been received by the Farmer’s Review from its correspondents in Illinois, Indiana. Michigan, Kentucky, Ohio, Missouri and Kansas. In northern lllinbis the outlook is extremely discouraging, many of the fanners declaring they will turn up their crops entirely. In such counties as Schuyler and Adams only- 10 per cent will be left, while iu Logan. Macoupin. Sangamon. Shelby, and Knox counties 75 per-cent will be plowed under. In southern .-Illinois the reports are far from bright, but more-hopeful than those nearer Chicago. Recent rains have brought hopes ot prosperity to tillers of the soil in Indiana. In the central part of the State the reports are quite encouraging. Early sown wheat in Kentucky looks well, but the late sown bad. The conditions are said to be generally fair. Kansas has little better tidings to report than Illinois. Snow saved the wheat in Michigan, where high hopes are expressed by the farmers. In Wexford County an exception is recorded, however, correspondents claiming that 50 per cent will have to be turned under. Missouri has had a variety of fortune in her wheat. Half the counties in the northern part of the State will be almost destitute of crops. Southern and central Missouri farmers have been more fortunate. Correspondents in Osage, Benton, Franklin. Hickory, Miller and Bates counties say only 5 per cent will have to tie plowed up. In Ohio the best reports are from Huron. Geauga. -Hancock and Mahoning counties, where condition ranges from 95 to 100 per cent. The reports on the whole from this State are highly en-<-ouraging.

PHILIPPINES ARE PAID FOR.

Pnrckaae Money-$20,000,000-Hand-ed Over by Secretary Hay. The last move in the negotiations terminating the war with Spain occurred in Washington Monday when Secretary Hay paid to the French ambassador, M. Cambon, the $20,000,000 provided by the treaty of peace for the cession of the Philippines. The payment was made in four treasury warrants of $5,000,000 each and was receipted for by M. Cambon as completely liquidating the obligation of the United State* iu this connection. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Vanderlip banded to Secretary Hay the the drafts for $20,000,000 to be turned over to the Spanish Government through Ambassador Cambon. The State Department at once sent word to the French ambassador that the warrants were in hand and would be turned over to him at any time. M. Cambon strolled over to the department. He was alone and no extra precantion was taken to guard the transfer of .such a large amount. Secretary Hay received the ambassador in the diplomatic room, where the transfer took place with little formality.

HAS EPIDEMIC OF SMALLPOX.

Kansas City Physicians Allow the Disease to Get a Foothold. Kansas City, Kan., is threatened with a terrible epidemic of smallpox. More than a score of cases have been discovered, and the people are panic-stricken. For weeks the disease has been lurking in the thickly populated and unhealthy districts of the city. It has been of a rather mild form, and the physicians have pronounced it chickenpox and measles in most instances; Smallpox has now spread to every negro quarter of the tovn.

SERVICE OF THE 160TH.

Brief Nummary of the Regiment’* History by the Chaplain. The 160th Indiana regiment started into active, service under discouraging conditions, but notwithstanding them, has had an experience that has been both pleasant and profitable. Chaplain W. J. Vigus, of the regiment, in reviewing the history of the organization, makes the following statement: "Thousands of citizens ih the twelve cities furnishing companies for the 160th Indiana regiment are interested in everything relating to that organization. It will be remembered that the four Indiana regiments constituted the militia of the State, which was organized on a peace basis with only the remote possibility of ever seeing other service than that of suppressing riots within the border of the State. When, therefore, war was declared with Spain these regiments were called •nto the service officered very much as iu time of peace. This wifi account for some of the difficulties encountered during the year of more or less active service. It is safe to say had these companies and regiments been organized under the call of the President, and with special reference to war, the organization would have been different, though possibly not more efficient. "The call for troops was issued April 23, 1898, by the President, and on the 25th of the same month Gov. Mount issued the call for the troops to assemble at Indianapolis, and by the evening of the next day 4,(MX) men were encamped within the inclosure of the fair grounds. On the afternoon of May 12 the Fourth regiment, with whose history we are more directly interested. was mustered into the United States service, and on May 16 pitched tents in Camp Thomas, Chickamauga Park. On July 28, the regiment was ordered to Newport News, from whence it was to embark for Porto Rico and came very near making the trip. An exhausting stay at Newport News was ended by the command being ordered to Lexington, Ky. On Nov. 9 the regiment was ordered to Camp Conrad, Columbus, Ga., ami from thence to Matanzas, Cuba, from which place it was ordered to Savannah, Ga.. for . muster out, which occurred April 25, just one year from the time the call was issued for the assembling of the troops. Those who first came to Camp Mount will not soon forget the discouraging circumstances of these few weeks, not the least of which was the regiment turning over its equipment to other organizations, whose good fortune, as it seemed then, it was to move first. Without guns and with scarcely a whole pair of trousers in a company the regiment presenting a grotesque appearance when the anxiously looked for start was made for the South. Up to the time of the disappointment at Newport News, in being ordered to Lexington, the soldiers hoped to see real war. But from that time the spirit of the men was broken and the desire to return home became more and more intense. The order to Cuba was somewhat of a relief and compensated for the long wait endured. And now that it is over I venture to say, it is looked back to as one of the most delightful episodes in the history of the regiment, and by far the most talked about. It not only gave the Hoosier boys an opportunity of seeing foreign service, but that of knowing something of a country and people about which they knew but little and which are destined to become part of this republic. The regiment went to the front with 1,326 men, only twelve of whom died, a showing unprecedented among Indiana troops, or perhaps those of any other State. The greatest care wrfs taken throughout the campaign to maintain cleanliness, a healthful diet and in short everything which could contribute to the best interest of the regiment. It could not be otherwise than that some animosities should be engendered. This doubtless vftis sometimes the fault of the officers, whose duty it was to exact military discipline, but who did it in an offensive, unnecessarily severe manner, but more frequently it was due to that independence to which the men had been accustomed in home life. Everyone who has had any experience in such matters knows that the most difficult thing is to learn the lesson of implicit and unqualified obedience to superiors in office. This is especially true, when in private life the enlisted man ranked the officer in intelligence, social position, business capacity and moral character. It was a pleasure, however, to observe that as the time approached for muster-outJhese animosities softened and were perceptible only in a few cases when the regiment was disbanded; and it is hoped these will entirely disappear in civil life. No word has such significance to old veterans as ‘comrade,’ and in time it will have equal significance to the soldiers of the American-Spanish war. It was the verdict of the people in every place where the regiment was encamped. of the train men and boat crews transporting us from.place to place, that the 160th regiment was one of the most orderly and gentlemanly commands in the service. While alMvere anxious to return home when the war was ended, and post duty only could be expected, yet there was an element of intense sadness in the breaking up of the associations of army life. The twelve who had fallen were afft'etionately remembered, as well as their friends, whose heart wounds would be opened afresh by the absence of dear ones from the ranks of the returning companies. That the regiment was not in the hottest of the fight was not its fault. Every man was anxious for it, and had the opportunity been afforded. Indiana would havd been proud of its record. But it had the honor of being a part of (he great reserve that gave confidence to the country and inspired our enemies with respectful fear. From colonel to private we are proud of our regiment and of its history in the most remarkable war on record. To all we say heartily, ‘Good-by, Jim, take keer o’ yourself.’ ” Short State Item*.

RECORD OF THE WEEK

INDIANA INCIDENTS TERSELY TOLD. Gas Explosion Startles a Town—End of a Haunted House in Pera—Shot on His Own Doorstep- One Wreck Quickly Follows Another. A break in the main line of the Chicago Gas Pipe Line Company near Ixigansport caused an explosion which shook the city and startled the citizens from their homes.

Second Wreck in Two Days. A wreck on the Bedford branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern branch was followed by a collision alauit six miles east of the main line, the wrecking crew which was at work on the branch being called there before getting its first wreck cleared.
