JOHN A. LOGAN SLAIN.

TON or THE “BLACK EAGLE" DIES IN THE PHILIPPINES. Major la Shot Down While Leading a Victorious Charge Upon Rebel In- ' treuchments at San Jacinto - Preoident Consoles Mother and Widow. - Maj. John A. Logan, namesake non of the “Black Eagle of Illinois,” has been killed in battle in the Philippines. The official announcement of his death came in a dispatch from Gen. Otis Tuesday. The news was a severe shock to his mother, his wife and to a large circle of friends. When the news reached the War Department that Maj. Logan had fallen Gen. Corbin selected Maj. Johnson, assistant adjutant general, to carry the message to Mrs. Logan. She was nearly prostrated with grief when Maj. Johnson informed her of her son’s death, but soon recovered sufficiently to order her

carriage and drive to the White House in the hope that she might learn from the President that there was some mistake in the dispatch and that her boy might still live. At the door she broke’down completely. An usher supported her to the red parlor. Mrs. McKenna, wife of the associate justice, who was at the White House, hastened to Mrs. Logan and tenderly embraced her. President McKinley left the cabinet meeting when he learned of Mrs. Logan’s presence, aud with kindly words tried to assuage the grief of the heartbroken mother. Consoled by the President. The President sent this telegram to the

widow of the dead soldier at Youngstown, Ohio: “It is my painful duty to convey to you the sad intelligence of the death of your husband while gallantly leading his battalion ia the charge at San Jacinto. His splendid qualities as a soldier and high courage on the fighting line have given him place among the heroic men of the war, and it will be some consolation to you to know that he died for bis country on the field of honor. You have in this trying hour for yourself and the childreu the sincere sympathy of. Mrs. McKinley and myself." The announcement of the death of Mnj. John A. Logan fell with crushing force upon his widow and children, two of whom are old enough to realize the loss of their father. Mrs. I/Ogan and her mother, Mrs. Andrews, had completed preparations for going abroad, expecting to spend the winter in the south of France, and were anticipating a pleasant trip, when the cablegram was received, changing the home into a house of mourning. Mrs. Logan was a daughter of the late Chauncey Andrews, iron aud railway magnate, «nd ( her wedding to Maj. Logan March 22, 1 1$87, was a brilliant social event, the eonple receiving gifts amounting to S2OO,OCW, the bride being presented with SIOO,OOO in government bonds by her father and her unde, Wallace C. -Andrews. The Logans have three children. Maj. Ix>gan while in Cuba gained the reputation of a soldier who knew no fear, and he said to a friend prior to leaving for the Philippines: “If it is ordered that my life goes out on the battlefield I hope it will be leading my men against the enemy.” In view of his death the words seem to have been prophetic. The body of the son will probably be brought home for burial beside his father, whose body lies in a tomb in the National Soldiers’ Home Cemetery in Washington.

MILES ANNUAL REPORT.

dtoUsvaa Present Army Fore* Is Ample for the Services Required. The annual report of Maj. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, commanding the army, was made public at the War Department Tuesday. It ia extremely brief and formal in character. It announces the transmission to the Secretary of War of the reports of the department and staff commanders and makes a brief statement of the strength and distribution of the army, including the muster out of the volunteer regiments, most of the details of which have been already published in the reports of the adjutant general. It has been the practice heretofore to discharge soldiers in Manila, paying them there and giving them free transportation to the United States on the Government transports. This has resulted in several complaints to the Secretary of War about soldiers who have landed in this country without means to get to their homes. In transmitting this report to Gen. Otis it is suggested- to him that hereafter no more soldiers shall be discharged in Manila, but that when their terms of service expire they shall be sent to San Francisco, where they will get their discharge papers and their pay. The report concludes with the following general statement: “As far as organization is concerned the army is in a transition state. It Is believed that the force will be ample for'the service required of it up to the time authorized—namely, July 1, 1901. It is gratifying to note that the Government has authorized a military force which seems commensurate with its requirements, magnitude and institutions. I have for years recommended the adoption of a standard in proportion to the population—and I believe that the establishment of such a standard would be safe and judicious in every respect.” The annual report of Surgeon General Sternberg of the army has been made public at the War Department. Gen. Sternberg remarks: “The medical corps of the army, which was scarcely adequate before the war with Spain for our army of 25,000 men, is now entirely inadequate, and should be increased as soon as is practicable. liany of the commissioned medical officers of the volunteer army, and of the acting assistant surgeons, have made rapid progress in acquiring a knowledge of their military duties, and have demonstrated their fitness for the military service. In filling vacancies in the medical corps these gentlemen should, in my opinion, have the preference when they come within the established age limit.” The report says the number of deaths from all causes in the regular army was 1,285. Of this number 22 per cent was from disease and 5.55 per cent from injuries. The total number of deaths, including the regulars and volunteers, from May 1, 1898, to Jnne 30, 1899, is given as 0,019,

of whom 496 were killed in battle, 216 by accident, 202 by gunshot wounds.

REBELS ARE ROUTED.

Desperate Battle Fought with Filipinos Near San Fabian. The Thirty-third infantry in one of the sharpest two hours’ engagements of the war with an equal force of insurgents, five miles from Sail Fabian, Saturday lost one officer and six men killed and one officer aud twelve men wounded. The Americans captured twenty-nine .Filipinos aud 100 rifles and found eighty-one insurgent dead lying in the trenches and rice fields. Many more Filipinos, doubtless, were killed or wounded. The insurgents opened the fight two miles from San Jaeinto, while the leading American battalion whs passing a clump of houses in the midst of a cocoanut grove, knee deep in mud. The Filipino sharpshooters, hidden in trees, houses and a k sumtl trench across the road, held their fire until the Americans were close to them. When they began firing other Filipinos ojienod fire from thickets, right and left, further away. The regiment then deployed under fire, with Maj. John A. Logan's battalion in the center, Maj. Cronic’s on the right and’ Maj. Marsh’s on the left. The skirmish line, which was a mile long, advanced rapidly, keeping up w constant tire. The Filipinos made an unexpectedly good stands many of them remaining under cover tintil the Americans were within twenty feet of them. The insurgents are supposed to have retreated toward Dagupan. It was impossible to puAue them, as the American troops were exhausted and their supply of ammunition was low. Maj. Logan was shot through the head and mortally wounded early in the fight while stooping to attend a corporal who had been wounded. A hospital steward was killed while frying to drag the-major to the side of the road. Shortly afterward, at the same spot, Capt. Green and a non-commissioned officer were wounded. All this was evidently the work of sharpshooters, who picked out the officers by their uniforms. Half a dosen of these men were spotted in the trees and killed by our sharpshooters. The firing on the field hospital men did not cease, however, until a detail returning from San Jacinto to couvey the dead and wounded to fjan Fabian cleared the country of insurgents. Maj. March’s battalion was the first to enter San Jgdpto. Judging from thu resistance made by the enemy, it is believed the insurgents were veterans from Tarlac, under command of Gen. Mini®,

AS OLD AS THE WORLD

GREAT ANTIQUITY OF SUGAR IS ADMITTED. Known to the Chinese Hundreds of Tears Before Christ- Origin » hr ended la the Miet of Unrecorded History -Introduction Into England. Sugar was known to the Chinese and Used T>y them as early as 1200 B. C. This statement-rests, on tradition partly, “but It is a historical fact that during the Tain dynasty, about 200 years B. C., the article was well known and was manufactured in relatively con* siderahle quantities in China. Stu» dents of ancient Hindoo history and Industries claim the discovery for the East Indians, but it is much more probable that in this, as in many other inventions ascribed to the Hindoos and the Japanese, the knowledge came to them from China originally, and was subsequently returned to China, where, In the meantime, the art had been lost or forgotten. 1 The claim of tbe honor for the Hindoos rests on the fact that the expedition under Nearchus, sent out by Alex-ander-the Great about 325 B. C. to explore the Indus and the adjacent regions, on its return to Greece reported that they had found people who, from a cane and without the intervention of bees, made a honey (sirup or molasses?). This is the earliest historical mention of sugar among the “people of the west.” It appears to have been ntterly unknown to the Egyptian, Babylonians, Chaldeans, Jews and the Greeks prior to the event mentioned above. Galen, the physician and pharmacologist, who flourished and wrote 140-190 B. C., prescribed sugar as a remedy in certain cases. In England sugar seems to have remain almost unknown, except to the learned, until after the discovery of America. It was so costly a luxury that in 1455 it is of record that a lady, the wife of a very rich gentleman, besought her husband, as the richest gift that he could bring her, on his homecoming from the metropolis, to fetch, her a pound of sugar. Even at the beginning of the eighteenth century Great Britain consumed but about 12,000,000 pounds of sugar. To-day England alone uses more than a hundred times that amount.

The method of purifying or refining sugar was introduced into England in 1659, though the art had been known in Constantinople for several hundred years, It having been discovered, or invented, by the Arabs, who kept it a close secret, which was finally learned by those übiquitous wanderers and traders, the Venetians, who, it is said, learned it of the Sicilian Saracens in exchange for goods the market value of which exceeded 100,000 crowns—which, considering the value of money at the period, would be equivalent to $5,000,000 now.

$70,000,000 for Amusements.

“There are five thousand theaters in the United States if we count all kinds,” writes Franklin Fyles, In the Ladles’ Home Journal. “More than' two thousand are fairly classable as legitimate, and over one thousand more are devoted to vaudeville. The two thousand others taper off in various ways. To estimate the capital invested In all this theatrical property is difficult But about $100,000,000 is invested in three thousand first-class legitimate theaters. That Is an average of $03,333 each, which hr low enough, some costing as much as $500,000 each. It la equally hard to compute the money paid by Americans for theatrical amusement. Separate audiences yield from absolutely nothing. In extreme cases of failure, to as much as $20,000 at an exceptional performance of opera. A conservative calculation Is that the aggregate reaches $70,000,000 a year. Not less than one and a half million persons sit In these theaters each weekday night in the season of at least eight months.”

Dewey’s Quick Wit.

With Copt. Willard H. Brownson aud Commander William H. Emory, Admiral Dewey shares the reputation of being oqe of the best-dressed men la the navy. When Dewey was President of the Naval Inspection Board, Browuson and Emory were members. Tin board was obliged to attend the final trial trips of all new vessels. Dewey usually carried only a small satchel on tbdhe occasions, but Brownson and Emory were always provided with several salts of clothes. Dewey went to New London to witness the final trial of the Annapolis, reaching there In advance of some of the other members. He was sitting on the piazza of his hotel on the evening of his arrival, when an express wagon loaded high with big trunks was driven up. “Ah,” said Dewdy, with a amile, “I see that Frownson and ‘Bill’ Emory have come.

WARNING TO THE ROWERS.

Salisbury Bays Britain Will Mat Accept Intervention. The address delivered by the Britiah premier at the lord mayor’s banquet in London, while it dealt to some extent with the issues of the Anglo-Boer war, was manifestly int inded in the main for the ears of continental Europe, as a warning against any schemes of interference and a plain intimation that Great Bry*ig . would yield tp no threats and no moral coercion. Intervention would mean war with the power or combination venturing upon it, declared Lord Salisbury in practically explicit language, and we may rest assured that no European power is ready to risk actual resort to arms. Lord Salisbury set out with a reference to the growth of cordial feelings and happy relations between England and the United States. “We feel,” he Baid, “that we can now always look for sympathy and a fair hearing among those who share with us so vast a mission for the advancement of mankind.” This alone, the premier implied, would prevent hostile and hasty action by the continental powers, but in addition the Samoan treaty was referred t# as something which, besides being satisfactory in itself and advantageous to both signatories, was particularly interesting at this juncture because it showed the world that the British-German relations were all Englishmen could, desire. After some, discussions of the causes of the war and tbe alleged military mistakes of the Government, after emphatic declarations that not territorial or pecuniary interests were actuating Britain in her African policy, but tbe desire to secure political equality and security for all races, the premier proceeded to deal openly with the rumors of foreign intervention. He reassured his audience and the vaster audience outside. Let no man imagine; be said, that the conflict will be concluded in obedience to the dictation of foreign governments. In the first place. Great Britain will not tolerate interference, and ia the second place there is no such idea in the mind of any government in the world. International law forbids it, declared Lord Salisbury.

DEWEY IS MARRIED.

Weds Mrs. Hazen Privately but Without Secrecy. Admiral George Dewey and Mrs. Mildred Hazen were married at the Presbytery of St. Paul’s Catholic Church, Washington, at 10 o’clock Thursday morning. In anticipation of this event Washington society has been in a state of feverish excitement for the last two weeks, since tbe engagement was announced. It was one of the* simplest weddings ever held in the national capital. It united fame with beauty and wealth, but there was nothing to indicate either in the simple ceremony performed in the plain apartment of a Catholic priest. There were no distinguished witnesses, no bridesmaids, no flowers, no music. There was no gaping crowd of curions onlookers, there were only the bride and groom, the mother and sister of tbe bride, Lieut. Caldwell, the admiral’s secretary, Father Mackin and his two assistants. In love, ns in war, George Dewey had no hesitation or ostentation. While tbe world waited to hear when Dewey expected to attack the Spanish fleet, there came flashing under the seas and across two continents the brief but startling news that Dewey had destroyed the Spanish fleet and held an empire in his grasp. So, while society waited anxiously to know when Dewey was to be married, and who would be invited, the simple announcement went out from Father Mackin's house that George Dewey and Mrs. Mildred Hazen were married in the presence of proper witnesses at the presbytery.

INDIANA INCIDENTS.

1 RECORD OF EVENTS OR THE PAST WEEK. Bold Burglary In Jeffersonville—Briscoe Building Burns at Hartford— Freight Trains Collide at Reelavllls Bottle FactoriewUsable t* Oct Help. The most daring hold-up ever attempted in Jeffersonville occurred the other night about 10 o’clock in a thickly settled locality. Herbert Loomis, clerk in a drug store, was in the act of closing, when two unmasked men walked into the lighted store and covered him with their revolvers. Otie of the burglars ordered the other to fire after he had counted ten if Loomis failed to open the safe. The safe was then opened and the entire contents, which aggregated nearly SSOO, was taken. The thieves escaped. Boy Famine Worries Factories. The boy famine prevailing ail over the Indiana gas belt, and more especially in towns and cities where bottle factories are located, is seriously felt at Hartford City, where three large bottle (Hants are located. Notices of “boys wanted” have been posted all over the county, and money prizes are offered for the boys who remain in the firm’s employ longest, but there is the greatest scarcity. Many of tbe concerns in thr gas belt are compelled to run only half force owing to tbe scarcity. Business Block Is Burned. Fire broke out in the furniture department of the J. L. Hoover store in the Briscoe - block at Hartford City, and three hose companies battled with the flames for two hours and a half before they were finally subdued. The interior of the structure was destroyed, only the wails being left standing. The R. Kirschbaum block adjoining was damaged by water. The estimated loss is $75,000, about one-third of which is covered by insurance.

Natural Gas Is Diminishing. Natural gas is rapidly failing in the north part of the Indiana field. The Dietrich syndicate has given notice that it will abandon its plants in the smaller towns. Five towns in Howard County are left to freeze and nearly 2,000 families will eat cold victuals and shiver over fireless stoves. Coal cannot be had at any price and there is no wood in the market. Bad Wreck on tbe Yhudalta. Tbe Vandalia Railroad Company suffered a most damaging wreck at Reelsville. Train No. 22, east-bound, was trying to make a switch and was run into by train No. 26. also east-bound. The engine of tbe last train plowed through ten cars, totally demolishing them. One of the cars was loaded with stock. Three of the trainmen were injured, one seriously.
