CHICAGO, J*n. 12.—A book entitled
"Schley and Santiago" is on the press
in this city. The author is George E.
Graham, a war correspondent, who had
exceptional facilities for gathering ma
terials, as he was on board the Brooklyn
during the fight with the Spanish fleet,
and thus in a position to tell the story
of Santiago "without fear or favor."
The book is said to have the unqualified
indorsement of Rear Admiral Schley.
When President Roosevelt was governor'
of New York he was present when Mr.
Graham gave an account of the battle
to state officials and members of the leg
islature, and said:
'•I am sure you feel as pleased at hav
ing listened to Mr. Graham as I do, for
1 listened to the best account 1 have ever
heard or read of the naval fighting during
this war."
This book is the first complete story
of the work of the Jiving squadron, com
manded by Schley. Mr. Graham's cam
era secured many . interesting illustra-
Tuii^. and the account he gives of th£
movements of the fleet and the battle is
frfL front virulent and personal attacks;
the aim is to give a truthful statement
of every occurrence. In connection with
the arrival of the New York, Mr. Gra
ltam says:
Seitrehing- for Saiupson's Ship
"The commodore reached over to me,
tfM.k r.;y g!asS*ss and looked searchingly
to the east, saying rlowly as he did so,
'There is the Texas and there is the
Vixen, but I don't see the Now Y'ork.
y\:ul then, as he kept the glasses up, in
an instant he had evidently found her,
for he remarked: 'Yes, there she is; I
can tell her by her smoke.' This was
at 1:45 o'clock, and the Colon had gona
ashore at 1:15, while Capt. Cook had re
ceived the surrender at 1:43. At 2 o'clock,
just as the New York got where we con
sidered her in signal distance, Commo
dore Schley ordered the signal raised,
'A glorious victory has been achieved.
Details later.' This signal replaced the
cue which we had been flying for nearly
three-quarters of an hour, 'The enemy
has surrendered, 1 and which the New
York had not answered.
Vainly the signal officers on the bridge
watched the New York for even the
courtesy of an answering pennant, show
ing that she understood' our signals. None
was displayed, and then it apparently
dawned upon Commodore Schleys mind
that Sampson's flag captain on the New
York was probably intent upon ignoring
him.
Schley Was Snubbed.
"Picking up the megaphone, Commo
dore Schley did the one thing that day
for which I have always criticized him:
Lowered his dignity sufficiently to plead
with the commander of the fleet that he
might have the surrender of the ship
•whose escape had been frustrated by the
Brooklyn and the Oregon, thus making
complete the day's victory.
" 'I request the honor cf the surren
der of the Cristobal Colon,' he said, in
a clear, distinct voice; and from the
eommander-in-ehief's flagship came waft
ed bnck the insolent answer from a ca
ei-t. 'What?'
' I request the honor of the surrender
of the Cristobal Colon,' again called the
commeidorr, and this time his voice trem
bled slightly. We watched the bridge
of the X"ew York closely, waited intent
ly for the answer, but none came. And
that message, a s had all the others pre
ceding it since the destruction of the
Spanish fleet which had been addressed
by Schley to the New York, remained un
answered.
"Somebody raised a broom at our mast
head on one of the pennant halyards, and
the crew cf the Oregon followed suit,
and then gave three cheers for Commo
dore Schley. On the Texas the men all
lined up on the forward deck, and at
the request of somebody aboard—l pre
sume of Philip himself—gave three cheers
for Commodore Schley. The little Vixen
circied around three or four times her
enw yelling themselves hoarse for the
Brooklyn, for Schley and for the vic
tory. But from the New York there
came never a sound of joyfulness and
never a cheer."

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 12.—The "Republic
of Omaha," formed by thirteen Indians
of that tribe and three white men, nas
had its rise and fall, and its citizens
are in the Douglas county jail in this
city.
The Indians have spent several weeks
in Omaha as witnesses in the federal
court, and the white men accompanied
them from the Pendcr reservation as
interpreters. The whites allowed Red
Star, a full-blooded Omaha, to officiate
as president, and to his fellow-tribesmen
were allotted the portfolios of state,
war, navy and interior. The crafty Yan
ktes retained the portfolio of the treas
ury.
When the Indian witnesses had drawn
their fees, the money was deposited with
John Jasperson, interpreter and secre
tary of the treasury, :nd the republic
stocked up liberally with red liquor.
A., the way back to Pender the citizens
toasted one another until they had evolv
ed a declaration of independence which
involved the extermination of the whites.
The compatriots first intimidated Dog
town, the Indian village on the Pender
reservation, and then moved in a body
upon Pender, firing revolvers and driv
ing citizens into their houses. When hos
tilities were well under way, however,
the disturbers encountered United States
forcec in the form of Marshal James
Allen and two deputies. Without further
ado the republic capitulated and was
disarmed of two revolvers and a pony to
each man.
The citizens were arraigned before
Commissioner T. L. Sloan and brought
to Omaha for hearing on the charge of

CURTIS,- I. T., Jan. 12.-Mrs. Bessie
Finncl was arrested and placed in jail
at Alva today, on a charge of perjury.
Her husband, who had been arrested
with her, was released.
Mrs. Finnel is charged with swearing
falsely on the witness stand against
Charles McHugh, her former sweetheart,
John Waddell, her father, and Calvin
Johnson, a rich cattle man. On Dec.
29 last year they were arrested at Curtis
and were charged jointly with two mur
ders. One information charged them
with the murder of a man whose name
was unknown, on the loth day of Septem
ber, and the other information charged
the defendants with the murder of a
woman on Oct. 16. The informations
were sworn to by Mrs. Finnel. The de
fendants were arrested and held for
trial.
Recently the sheriff and coroner made
a search where the murders were said
to have been committed, but found no
evidence of the crimes, consequently
when the case came to trial the men
were released. Search was instituted
then to find the reason why Mrs. Finnel
had sworn falsely and the officers who
arrested her claim it was for revenge.
She claims McHugh jilted her, and her
lather and Johnson caused him to do so.

LOUISVILLE, Jan. 12.—"Uncle Tonvs

on the South," so the United Daughters
of the Confederacy have styled it, and.
led by Mrs. Basil Duke, sister of Gen.
Morgan, and wife of Gen. Duke, the

B. Castleman, wife of Gen. Castleman,
another famous Confederate soldier,

The Albert Sidney Johnson chapter of
the United Daughters of the Confeder

and then the matter will be taken up. A
committee will be appointed to go to
Frankfort, and, backed by the old Con
federates, will try to push through a bill
prohibiting the production of the play
on the ground that it is totally unreal,
a base misrepresentation, a cruel libel
on the South, and vicious in its influence
upon negroes and the young.

RAILROAD LOSS VERY HEAVY
ROME, Ga., Jan. 12.—As a result of a
collision between a passenger and a
fi eight on the Southern railway at an
early hour this morning, near Reeves
station, twenty miles north of Rome,
Mme. Lillian Nordica, the singer, was
injured, her accompanist, E. Romaine
Simmons, sustained a bruised hand, En
gineer Frank Tracy was killed, and three
other employes of the road were in
jured.
The train to which Mme. Nordica's
private car was attached was a mixed
passenger and freight, and left Atlanta
at 11:30 last night for Chattanooga. It
arrived at Reeves station at 3:30 this
morning, where it had orders to meet
freight No. 55. An extra freight train
was on the siding at Reeves when the
passenger arrived, and the engineer 01.

it was No. 55, did not stop, but contin
ued his run towards Chattanooga.
Engines Crash on a Curve.
A mile north of Reeves, while going at
a rapid rate, the passenger met the
freight on a sharp curve. The two en
gines crashed into each other, and
Engineer Tracey, in attempting to jump,
was caught between the two locomotives
and crushed to death.
Mme. Nordica's car was attached to
the rear of the passenger train. She
sang in Atlanta Saturday night, and was
on her way to Nashville When the
collision occurred Mme. Nordica was
asleep in her bed in the private state
room of the car. The sudden jar threw
the diva from her bed to the floor. It
is understood that she sustained a badly
bruised shoulder, and the muscles of
her neck are said to have been strained.
r>r. Garlington, the Southern railway's
surgeon here, was immediately summon
ed, and attended the singer. Dr. Garling
ton stated tonight that Mme. Nordica
was not badly hurt, and that he thought
she would be able to fill her engagement
tomorrow night.
Mr. Simmons, her accompanist, sus
tained injuries to his right hand, but it
is understood he will be able to play
tomorrow night.
Mme. Nordica's car was not derailed,
and together with two other Pullmans
was returned to Rome, and sent over the
NashvHle, Chattanooga & St. Louis to
Nashville, where they are expected to
arrive early Monday morning.
Both engines were badly wrecked, and
twelve cars, it is said, were burned. The
engineer and firemen of the freight es
caped by jumping but were both badly
bruised. The tracks were cleared by
night, and traffic resumed.

WASHINGTON, Jan. ll.—The announce
ment that Prince Her»ry of Prussia,
brother of Empeior William, will come
to the United States at an early date,
has caused much interiisting ', speculation
as to the details of hlsi reception. -: The
programme .for his : entertainment will

He will be met at N|w. York by . repre

officer : will be . detailed from the - army
and one from the navy- to arrange for
the convenience of tse>' ."prince, and to
accompany him. He is an admiral in the
German ' navy, and when he arrives at
New York will be greeted by a salute of
twenty-one guns, which is the same as
a presidential salute. He may make an
address at the launcniug of the imperial
yacht, which is to be fhristc-ned by Miss
Roosevelt, and it is not improbable that
President Roosevelt may -attend the
launching and respond to the prince's ad
dress. " . 'V

On his arrive! at Washington Prince
Henry will be received fby the president,
and will be invited to -become the guest
of the nation. Whether he will care to
accept this invitation, 6r to stay at the
German embassy is notpmown. His call
upon the president will be returned in
person by Mr. Rooscvel|, who will invite
him to a dinner, whfro there will also
be the most prominent men of the coun
try. Everything will be done to make
Prince Henry's visit a pleasant and mem
orable one.
The imperial >acht Hohenzollern will
also be given a ccrdia! reception. It is
rossible*that the North Atlantic squadron
may find its itinerary cut short, and
that it wili bo ordered tc receive the
yacht at sea, accompany it to port and
take its share In doing honor to the
prince of Pnusia.
New York Is All Agoer.
NEW YORK, Jan. 12.—During this
week plans will be considered for the re
ception of Admiral Prince Henry, of
Prussia, brother to Kaiser Wilhelm, who
will land here next month to witness the
launching of the Kaiser's new yacht.
The prospect now is that from the ar
rival of the princ-e in New York waters
will date a series of public receptions,
fetes and kindly greetings of an interna
tional character such as have been
paralleled in this country only during the
visit of the Prince of Wales, now king
of England, forty years ago, and when
a welcome was extended eleven years
later to the Grand Duke Alexis, brother
of the czar of Russia.

MANILA, Jan. 12.—Tiie news received
from Batangas province is cheerful.
The expedition to Lobo, in Batangas,
has been a complete success. The
columns under Cols. Wint and Wells
have destroyed a large number of bar
racks and hamlets and enough rations
to keep 20,000 Filipinos for six months.
There was not a single American casual
ty during the entire expedition. The
enemy fled before the Americans, many
of them were killed and several sur
rendered.
Maj. Henry Allen, formerly governor
of the island of Leyte, and now chief
of the insular constabulary, who has
been making a tour of inspection
through the islands of Leyte and Min
danao, has returned to Manila, and -re
ports that the native constabulary is
fully able to control the situation "in" the
province of Misamis, in northern Minda
nao, where he thinks the situation, has
been much exaggerated. Previous re
ports concerning this province caused
Gens. Davis and Wade to request that
it be returned from civil to military
control.
With the exception of the church, the
entire town of Quinque, in Bulucan
province, Luzon, has burned to the
ground, and thousands of Filipinos have
been rendered homeless.
Medical authorities' here assert that a
considerable portion of the breaking
down among American residents of the
Philippine islands is due to homesick
ness. The newspapers of Manila are
urging the United States Philippine com
mission to make an appropriation for
a daily cabled news service from the
United States, thus bringing Americans
here into closer touch with tneir home
life.
A majority of the local papers, sever
al army officers, civil officials, and others,
have promised subscriptions to help meet
the cable tolls for a *.iree months' news
service of a hundred words a day. An
amount sufficient to cover the tolls for
seventy words a day has already been
subscribed. It is hoped that this news
service ran be inaugurated Jan. 15. It
will be devoted to American news ex
clusively.
Commissioner Bernard Moses, head of
the department of public instruction for
the islands, has delivered an address to
the teachers of Manila in which he par
ticularly urged the continued instruction
of Filipino children in English. He said
the members of the wealthy Filipino
classes were making a great mistake
in sending their children to Spanish
schools, as the consequent neglect in Eng
lish instruction would injure their posi
tion and standing in the islands, which
would inevitably and indissolubly become
a portion of the American nation.

ASKING FOR NEUTRALITY

Chicago Friends of Roers. Assert
That if Shipments of Horses anil

Will Soon End.
CHICAGO, Jan. ]?.—The Chicago
branch of the Americihi Transvaal
league held a meeting here tonight and
adopted a petition calling upon President
Roosevelt to enforce the neutrality law.
A large number of signatures of prom
inent men, judges, lawyers and others,
was obtained. The petition Is in the
form of an argument, and sets forth
that the United States is conceded to
be a neutral nation in the war between
Great Britain and the South African
republic.
It is contended that if the augmefFßf
tion of Great Britain's military supplies
from the port of New Orleans was stop
ped, the South African war would corns
to a speedy end. It is urged that horses
and mules designed for use in military
operations are within the meaning of the
term "military supplies," as used in
the treaty of Washington. The president
is therefore called upon to strictly en
force article VI. of that treaty.

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.—Senator Chaun

tomorrow, as planned, but will stay over
until Tuesday to have a conference with
President Newman, William K. Vander
bilt, H. McK. Twombly and other man
agers and directors of the New York
Central railroad regarding the accident
in the tunnel last week, and especially
as to electrical and other improvements
for .that underground passage. If elec
tricity is to solve the underground prob
lem, the senator is inclined to pin his
faith to a powerful motor.
"We all thought," said the senator,
"that with the use of electricity the
chances of accidents would be reduced
to a minimum, but we have read of the
recent accident in the Liverpool tunnel.
Then there was something wrong with the
third rail. In an instant the train was
on fire and twenty-six people were killed.
That shows what may happen with a
third rail.
"1 am going to the Central offices to
morrow feeling that if I can solve this
tunnel question by ability as an engineer
or in any other way, I would give up
everything else, even the I United State-s
senate, and devote myself to it."

JAMESTOWN. N. D., Jan. 12.-The trial
of the case of Rev. William steel vs. c.
A. Sanford and Editor George Farries
of the Courtenay Gazette, beg-an in the
district court Saturday mornine, and will
probably be concluded Monday. Mr
Steele, who was, until Oct. ], 1901, pas
tor of the Presbyterian church at
nf° U. r i™y V asks for damases in the sum
of $10,000 for an alleged libdous article
in the Gazette, in which he was referred!
to as a bloated lobster, and his alleged
past record printed. The publication of
the article followed a bitter attack made
on Editor Farries, C. E. Sanford and E.
*. Horn in a sermon preached one Sun
day m the Presbyterian church in Cour
tenay by Mr. Steele, who took for his
text the following from Proverbs: "He
that hideth hatred with lying lips and
he that uttereth slander is a fool.'
A number of witnesses swore Saturday
that in his sermon Mr. Steele connected
Messra Sanford and Horn, who are
members of his church, with tne tejLt
and also Editor Farries, who does not
belong to his flock. One witness for the
Plaintiff created quite a laugh in testi
fying that he had belonged to the church
for fifteen years, but had often fallen
asleep during the sermons and could not
tell what had happened on a certain day
of divine worship. Judge Glaspell dis
missed the action against C. A. Sanford
when the prosecution had presented the
case on motion of defendant's attorney.
It has been generally admitted that
Sanford was the man Mr. Steele and his
friends were after, and the failure to
connect him with the case is a disap
pointment of a severe nature.

SIXCE PARXELL'S DAY.
LONDON. Jan. 12.-The Dublin corre
spondent of the Sunday Observer declares
that the national convention of the Unitei
Irish league, which opened in Dublin
Jan. S, was a great success, and that it
was the first Irish gathering in that
city since the death of Parnell, really in
spired by a spirit of unity.
"No one present," says the Sunday Ob
server, "could fail to note the firm hold
that Mr. John Redmond had got on the
ccuntry, and no question of an alternative
chairman is now ever thought #>f. He
was undoubtedly more generally sup
ported by the people than any one sinca
I'arnell, and the feeling prevails ihat the
National party has opened a new and
victorious chapter."
