Special to The St. Paul Globe.
I.KMIDJI. April 21.— A brutal mur
der took place here this morning at 5
o'clock. Jerry Root, night marshal of
the village, was stabbed to death by
his teamster, Rob Kinney. It is claim
ed that Jerry, the evening before, had
given the teamster money for ex
penses on a trip to Park Rapids for
freight, but later in the evening dis
covered that Kinney was spending it
_ at the saloons and took the remainder
away from him. At 4 o'clock Mr. Root
went off his beat and went home, to
bed. He was awakened about 5 o'clock
J>y the entrance of Kinney, who stab
led him viciously with a long butcher
knife. Mr. Root called murder and the
family, living In another part of the
house, rushed In to find Kinney still
holding the bloody knife in his hands.
He made no resistance nor effort to
escape and was disarmed. The neigh
bors were aroused and the sheriff and
marshal sent for, as also the physi
cians.
Kinney was at once jailed by the
sheriff, but Root was found to be fatal
ly wounded. He bled none at all ex
ternally, but himself said that he was
slowly bleeding to death internally,
and after lingering until afternoon ex
pired from the effect of the wounds..
Since coming to Bemidji in November
last. Root has made many friends, be
ing of a quiet and peaceable disposi
tion, and he was expecting his family
from Morrison county some time this
week. A lynching bee ls freely threat
ened in the streets, but it is not be
lieved Sheriff Nygaard can be taken
by surprise or frightened into letting
go of the man.

WARRING OVER A DAM.
Conflict Between Citlsens and Farm
ers Narrowly Averted.
Special to The St. Paul GWfie.
ST. CLOUD, Minn., April 21.— A special from
Cold Springs says that forty men from Rich
mond came there this afternoon armed with
Tilck hooks and revolvers to tear out tha
dam. The farmers last fall purchased the
dam. which was" . ooding their meadows, but
the Cold Spring people got out an injunction.
The case has been pending in the district
<_. urt, and the farmers thought a recent de
cision dissolved the Injunction. An encoun.ee
was mjrowly avoided. The Richmond farm
ers fmniiy withdrew without making an at
tack. The Cold Springs citizens have now
placed an armed guard to protect the prop
erty.

PRIVATEERING PROHIBITED
POWERS WILI BRING EFFEC
TIVE INFLUENCE TO BEAR
If Spain Attempts to Make Trouble
for English or German Ship*
Carrying American Gooda There
■Will Be SerloniM Complication..
The Stand Is a Blow to the Hupe..
of Spain.
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, April 21.— There are
strong indications that if the Spanish
government persists in its present an
nounced policy of commissioning priva
teers to prey on commerce, effective in
fluences will be brought to boar on her
by several of the great commercial
powers, particularly Great Britain and
Germany, to stop thl3 privateering, or
to make it practically ineffective and
harmless.
The action of the United States ln
declaring that it would not resort to
privateering has been received with
great satisfaction in the foreign embas
sies and legations here. Negotiations
along this line had been pending here
for some time, and are now shifted to
Madrid, where the British charge
d'affaires is making strong representa
tions to Premier Sagasta to prevent
privateering. Whether this will be con
ceded by Spain is doubtful, as her chief
reliance for protracting a war is
through commissioning privateers to
harrass American merchant ships, .or
neutral ships carrying American goods.
It has developed that this course by
Spain, while nominally directed against
the United States, would operate much
more injuriously against the shipping
of Great Britain, Germany and the
other commercial powers, as the bulk
of commerce to and from this country
is carried in foreign ships. British
ships, it is estimated, will carry 80 per
cent of the commerce between the
United States and Great Britain, while
German and French merchant shiDS
also handle considerable portions of the
trade.
This has given these powers a mater
ial Interest against privateering, which
would subject to search and seizure any
of their ships carrying American goods.
These interests are so great that it
is regarded as certain in the best post
ed diplomatic quarters that, if Spain
does not relinquish privateering volun
tarily, she will practice it at her peril
as against Great Britain, Germany and
possibly some other powers.
pBINNEIi^^
PLANTED ON THE HILL.
Charter Oak Seedling- Has a Perma
nent Home ln Lowry Triangle.
The grandson of the historic charter oak,
received by the Minneapolis park board from
Miss H. L. Ripley, of Norwich, Conn.,
Wednesday, was yesterday planted in Lowry
triangle. This triangle is situated on Henne
pin avenue. Just outside Loring park, and la
one of the most prominent locations ln the
city. The triangle lies on a hill, and the
charter oak will be the only tree planted on
it. It was at first suggested that the seed
ling be planted with appropriate ceremonies,
but as it was feared that a delay might cause
its death, Superintendent Berry transplanted
it immediately.
As a protection against dogs and other ani
mals, a wire screen has been placed around it.
Bids for Lands.
W. D. Washburn Jr. has made an offer to
A. Ueland. receiver of the Washington bank,
Minneapolis, for all the unimproved farm
land owned by the bank in Minnesota and
Dakota. The report is made to the court
that there are 3,858 acres upon which the
bank loaned money ajid finally acqul:ed. It
is is situated In eleven different Minnesota
counties and several Dakota counties. The
offer averages $1.75 per acre and foots up
$(„751.90. It is expected that the offer will
be accepted by the court.
Three Pleaded Guilty.
Before Judge McGee, in Minneapolis, James
McCormick and John Thomson, indicted for
burglary in the third degree for breaking into
the residence of Hiram G. Carlton, on tha
East side, changed their pleas to guilty. Ora
Wales, who stole wheat from farmers near
the city, also changed his p_ea to guilty. They
will a.l be sentenced Saturday. James
Williams, accused of assault in the second
degree for cutting a colored companion, was
found guilty by a jury. He will be sentenced
Saturday.
City Council War Resolution.
It is an almost certainty that the Minne
apolis council will pass a resolution at the
meeting Friday night, granting an indefinite
leave of absence to all the city employes who
volunteer for the war with Spain. An at
tempt will also be made to pass a resolution
ordering the salary of the enlisted employes
to continue while they are away. There ts
little doubt but that both resolutions will
be nassed.
Died of Heart Disease.
Jens W. Poulson, 15 years of age, died sud
denly yesterday at the home of his parents,
1515 Ninth street, Minneapolis. Coroner Den.'
nis found that death was due to organic
heart disease.
A TRAVELING MAN
Gives Some Valuable Hints Regarding th
Care of the Health While Traveling.
Mr. R. W. Wincherdon, a commercial
traveler from Birmingham, whose busi
ness keeps him almost constantly on
the road, relates in the Sunday News
the dangers to health resulting from
constant change of residence and the
way he overcame the usual injurious
effects.
He says: One thing people traveling
cannot very well avoid is the constant
change in water and food; the stomach
never has an opportunity to become
accustomed to anything, and in a few
years or much sooner the average
traveling man becomes a hopeless dys
peptic.
For several years I suffered more or
less from indigestion, sour stomachs, j
headaches, distaste for food, often no
appetite, gas on the stomach, and the
usual unpleasant effects of imperfect
digestion.
Nearly every traveling man has his
favorite remedy for different troubles,
and I tried all of them with indifferent
results. Finally, on the train between
Pittsburg and Philadelphia, one day I
overheard a conversation between two
ladies, one of whom had suffered se
verely from indigestion and stated she
had been completely cured by a rem
edy which she called Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets; I remembered the conver
sation because it directly interested
me; and at the next town I inquired
at the first drug store and bought a
package for fifty cents, and from that
day to this I have never been without
them. They are pleasant tasting tab
lets, not a secret patent medicine, but
composed of vegetable essences,' pure
pepsin, fruit salts and Golden Seal; be
ing in tablet form they never lose their
good qualities like a liquid medicine
would, but are always fresh and ready
for use.
I carry a box in my pocket continu
ally, and whenever I see any symptoms
of indigestion I take one, also one after
each meal, and for a year and a half I
have not lost a day by reason of poor
health, and can eat anything and rel
ish what I eat; my digestion is abso
lutely perfect as far as I can judge
from my feelings, and although there
j may be other stomach medicines just
I as good as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
Ido not know what they are. Certain
ly for people who travel they are far
ahead of any liquid medicine, as they
are so convenient, they can be carried
in the pocket and used whenever
needed.
I believe they are sold by all drug
| gists at 50 cents, and believe any one
I who will try them will agree with me,
that for indigestion and stomach
trouble Quart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
I unequal*"*

MEASURES FOR DEFENSE
THREE IMPORTANT BILLS
PASSED BY THE SENATE.
Army Bill, As Amended, Adopted
Without Division, an Wiih ATsu the
Measure Authorising: (lie I'rt'.l
dent to Stop ShlpiuentM of Coal
and Other Contraband Goods
Sundry Bill Through Final Stage.
WASHINGTON, April 21.— Three im
portant measures were passed by the
senate this afternoon, all of which re
late largely to the national defense.
The sundry civil bill, which has been
pending- for two weeks and which car
ries a large amount of money intended
to be used in the strengthening of the
country's coast defenses, was finally
passed.
The naval appropriation bill was im
mediately taken up and practically
completed, although pending the dis
cussion of an amendment -concerning
the price of armor plate, the bill was
displaced in order that the measure
temporarily increasing the military es
tablishment of the United States in
time of war might be considered. After
a long discussion the bill, as amend
ed by the committee, was passed.
A Joint resolution was adopted giv
ing the president power to prevent the
exportation of coal and other war ma
terial.
Sundry Bill Passed.
When the sundry civil bill was laid
before the senate, its consideration be
ing, by agreement, under the five-min
ute rule, Mr. Money (Miss.) said he had
noticed In a morning paper the state
ment that the state department had an
nounced there would, during the ap
proaching war, be no privateering by
the United States, and that this gov
ernment would abide by the treaty of
Paris, made in 1856.
"1 desire to inquire," said he, "wheth
er any member of the foreign relations
committee can inform the senate if the
statement made in the newspapers is
true?"
"I have heard nothing about the mat
ter," responded Mr. Davis, chairman of
the foreign relations committee, "ex
cept what I_ have seen in the news
papers."
Mr. Money, continuing, said that he
could not believe the president had
taken such action. "But," he said, "it
is well enough that the powers delegat
ed to the president be clearly defined
here and now. The power to issue let
ters of marque and reprisal belongs ex
clusively to congress. Neither the
United States nor Spain is signatory to
the treaty of Paris; but in everything
relating to the rights of neutrals the
United States has taken most advanced
ground. It was because the United
States took more advanced ground than
other nations in this regard that the
United States did not become a party
to the Paris treaty."
Mr. Hoar (Mass.) interrupted Mr.
Money to note that this was an in
opportune time to discuss the question,
as the senate had no knowledge that
the president had exceeded his consti
tutional power.
"I desired simply to call attention
to the fact," continued Mr. Money, "as
it was my duty to do, that this prop
osition cannot be tolerated by congress
and I would suggest to senators in the
confidence of the president that they
suggest to him the situation in con
gress."
A sharp fight was made upon the
two amendments of the committee to
that section of the bill relating to the
depredations on public lands and tim
ber.
The amendments, however, were fin
ally agreed to. The sundry civil bill
as amended was then passed.
The naval appropriation bill was
laid before the senate. The bill as it
passed the house carried $38,014,058. As
it was reported to the senate it car
ries $46,277,558.
Pending the consideration of the
naval bill Mr. Hawley (Conn.), chair
man of the military affairs commute.,
called up the resolution introduced a
few days ago and reintroduced today
relating to the exportation of coal and
other war materials. After so amend
ing the resolution as to enable the
president not only to lay but raise the
embargo, the resolution was passed
without division.
The reading of the naval bill was
then resumed and completed, with its
amendments, at 2:40 p. m. An amend
ment was added by the committee, pro
viding that the secretary of the navy
may establish depots for coal or other
fuel for warships, and appropriating
Siv.o,ooo for that purpose.
Several minor amendments were
adopted.
As the bill was about to pass the
armor matter was brought up, and as
it was likely to lead to debate. Mr.
Hawley brought up the volunteer army
bill, which was considered by unani
mous consent.
The bill has been fully described in
these dispatches together with today's
amendments by the senate military
committee.
Some other minor amendments were
offered by Mr. Hawley and agreed to.
Mr. Bacon (Ga.) suggested that the
bill be so amended as to provide that
no man in the militia service should
be compelled to enlist by the vote of
the company of which he is a member.
Mr. Hawley explained that nobody
could be forced to enlist as a volunteer
in the service of the United States, and
there would be no practical difficulty
in carrying into effect the provisions
of the bill. He further explained that
no member of a militia organization
could be forced to go out of the coun
try to perform service unless he ahould
volunteer for such service.
TAX ON TEA.
Some Opposition to It In the Ways
and Means Committee.
WASHINGTON.ApriI 21 —The Repub
lican members of the ways and means
committee expect to complete the war
revenue measure and have it ready for
submission to the full committee to
morrow, or Saturday at the latest.
One of the biggest contests in progress
in the committee is over the question
of taxing tea and coffee. The proposi
tion to place a 10-cent tax on tea and
3 cents upon coffee has met consid
erable opposition, and various sugges
tions have been made as to subjects
for taxation in lieu of tea and coffee.
Among them is a proposition to^place
50 cents per barrel tax on petroleum,
but it now seems probable this will be
abandoned. There is also a proposi
tion to tax mineral waters, wines, etc,
but a proposition which now meets
with more favor is to tax railroad
tickets and sleeping car tickets 10 cents
for each trip of over 700 miles. It ls
estimated that between $20,000,000 and
$25,000,000 could be raised from this
source.
Although no decision waa reached at
the session this afternoon It appeared
probable that after the Republican
conference broke up that sufficient
revenue can be raised without resort
ing to a tax on tea, coffee, petroleum
or a stamp tax on railroad tickets. It
is likely that a tax will be placed upon
mineral waters, ginger ale, etc., and
upon various other articles like chew
ing gum.

MR. GARY STEPS DOWN
CHARLES EMORY SMITH NOW
POSTMASTER GENERAL
Gary's Resignation Presented to ihe
President nnd Ills Successor ln
Oillce Nominated and Confirmed
by the Senate Without Delay-—
Mr. Gary's 111 Health the Only
Cause for the Change.
WASHINGTON, April 21.— An un
expected development of today was
a change in the president's cabinet
which came as an entire surprise. The
first public notification was the nomi
nation, sent to the senate, of Charles'
Emary Smith to be' postmaster gen
eral, vice Joseph L. Gary, resigned.
Before the close of the day Mr. Smith
had been confirmed by the senate.
it is stated at the White house that
Postmaster General Gary's resignation
had absolutely nothing whatever to do
with our present foreign complications.
It was owing entirely, it Is stated, to
the condition of Mr. Gary's health. He
has suffered a great deal of late from
a general breaking down of the sys
tem, which had continued to progress,
until finally Mr. Gary reluctantly
reached the conclusion that it was un
able longer to carry the burden of his
offlce.
Mr. Gary was asked if his resigna
tion, coming at the time of the Span
ish war crisis, could in any way be
attributed to that. He said:
"That was not entered into the con
sideration in any way whatever. I
have at all times supported President
McKlnley's policy on the Spanish ques
tion, and I support it now. My cabinet
relations have been most agreeable,
and there have been no differences
of policy."
The nomination of Charles Emory
Smith to be postmaster general was
confirmed by the senate without ob
jection.
The doors had no sooner closed on
the executive session than Senator
Gear, of the postoffice committee,
moved the confirmation of the nomi
nation. Senator Quay then suggested
that the nomination had not gone to
committee, and Senator Chandler
moved to refer to the committee on
postoffices. ' • ■'-
There was no objection to this course,
and the nomination wast Immediately
reported back and acted upon forth
with, no opposition tjeing made. This
expedition was rendered possible . by
the fact that the committee had pre
viously been polled,- all the members
voting for confirmation.
PHILADELPHIA, PaL, Apftl 21.— Charles
Emory Smith was born m Mansfield, Coca
ln 1842. and removed wtth his narents to
Albany, N. V., in 1849.' 'He graduated from
the Albany academy when Hi years of age
and immediately entered IntS. journalism.
Mr. Smith purchased an Interest in the
Albany Express and became Joint editor
with Mr. Dawson. In he was a dele
gate to the Republican' national convention
at Cincinnati and was the representative
from the sate of New York on the commit
tee on resolutions. On Jan. 23, 1879, Mr.
Smith was elected by the New York legis
lature regent of the New York university.
He resigned the position in 1881, when he
had left the state. In February, 3880, he
resigned the editorship of the Albany Even
ing Journal to assume the editorship of the
Philadelphia Press, and has ever since
edited the paper.
In February, 1890, Mr. Smith was appoint
ed by President Harrison envoy extraordi
nary and minister plenipotentiary to Russia.
When the McKinley cabinet was in pro
cess of selection, Mr. Smith's name was
frequently mentioned in connection with a
position In that body.

BLANCO CALLS TO ARMS
PROCLAMATION ISSUED BY THE
CAPTAIN GENERAL.
Weyler's Successor Invites the
Americans, If They Want the
Island of Cuba, to Come Over and
Take It, But Only After the Dons
Have Resisted to the Bitter
End.
By Associated Press.
HAVANA, April 21.— The Official
Gazette publishes an extra, containing
the following manifesto:
The general government of the Island of
Cuba to the inhabitants of the island of
Cuba:
Without any reason or legality, without
the least offense on our part, and at a time
when they have received from us only proof 3
of friendship, the United States are forcing
us into war just at the moment when quie
tude began to settle over the country, when
production was flourishing, commerce tak
ing courage and peace approaching, with the
co-operation of all classes and all parties
under the new institutions granted by the
mother country.
Such a proceeding is without precedent In
history. It evidently manifests the bogus
politics of the republic, demonstrating the
tricky plans and purposes that have always
been nourished against Spain's sovereignty
in Cuba, which the enemy has been conspir
ing for nearly a century to destroy.
Our foes now carry their hypocrisy and
falsehood to the extent of demanding imme
diate peace in a war provoked and sus
tained by themselves. Her prudence and
moderation have been of no avail to Spain,
though she has carried her concessions to
the extreme limit of toleration ln order to
avoid a ruDture.
She still d.plores this state of affairs, but
she accepts if. with all the energy inspired
by a glorious national history and the pride
of her people, a pride which will never yield
to the strangers, nor consent to see Spain's
right and reason trampled upon by a nation
of nobodies.
If the United States want the Island of
Cuba let them come and take It. Perhaps
the hour is not far distant in which these
Carthaginians of America will find their
Zama in this Island of Cuba, which Spain
discovered, peopled and civilized, and which
will never be anything but Spanish.
It is our turn to have the honor of de
fending her, and we will know how to do
It with decision and an effort many a time
put forth. I count upon you for this with
absolute certainty. I believe there ls no sac
rifice you are not prepared t$ make in de
fense of the national territory, whose Integ
rity is sacred to all Spaniards of whatever
origin. I am sure that ;wery.<;one in whose
.veins runs Spanish bloody willgrespond read
ily to the call which, in-thare solemn mo
ments, I address to all,* and that all will
group themselves around me to contribute
as much as they can to -repel a foreign in
vasion, without allowing daggers, suffer
ings or privations to weaken the heart of
courage. •"• c
To arms, then, felloe countrymen, to
am. si •..- . o*
There will be a place'T6r all in the fight.
Let all co-operate and 'contrfbute with the
same firmness and entliufelasfci to fight the
eternal enemy of the Spanish name, emulat
ing the exploits of our' --.ncesftors, who al
ways exalted high their 6buntry's fame and
honor. To arms! cry" a thousand times
"Viva Espana," "Vlva_jEl Key Alfonso
XIII.," "Viva la Regente," "Viva Cuba, al
ways Spanish." Cj Ration Blanco.
A patriotic demonstration was made
In the form of a parade here tonight.
Volunteers, firemen and persons of all
social classes, headed by several bands,
marched through the city.
About 8:30 o'clock the demonstrators
reached the square opposite the palace,
a committee entering and tendering !.o
the governor general in the name of
all, their estates, property and lives, in
aid of the government,- and pledging
their readiness to fight the invaders.
in response to a request by the depu
tation that he would address the peo
ple, Gen. Blanco went out on the bal
cony of the palace, where' he could
look down upon the square, crowded
with thousands, cheering and making
an Imposing demonstration. After
silence was secured, Gen. Blare:, thank
the people, assuring them that he would
lead them to victory, "otherwise I shall
not live," he said.
"Do you swear to follow me to the
fight?" The crowd answered: "Yes, we
do."
"Do you swear to give the last drop
cf blood ln your veins before letting a
foreigner stamp his foot on the land
we discovered, and place his yoke upon
the people we civilized?"
The crowd shouted back: "Yes, yes,
we do."
Gen. Blanco said: "The enemy's fleet
is almost at Morro Castle, almost at
the doors of Havana. They have
money, but we have blood to shed and
we are ready to shed it. We will throw
them Into the sea."
SPAIN SHORT - OF COAL
DONS IN NO POSITION TO ENTER
UPON WAR.'
This Painful Secret, Known Only to
a Pew, May, When It Becomes
Puhlic, Result ln a Speedy Ter
mination of War and the Fall of
Both the Cabinet and the
Dynasty.
By Associated Press.
LONDON, April 22— A dispatch to the
Daily Telegraph from Barcelona via Paris,
says: Grave apprehensions are entertained
ln the highest government circles that the
Issue of war may be decided, not by valor
and enthusiasm and dogged perseverance,
qualities ot which the Spaniards possess an
abundance, but by reserves of coal and
victuals, of which they have made but a
scanty provision in Cuba. It appears that In
respect of coal, in particular, they are worse
off than they have hitherto imagined.
The Spanish government firmly believing
down to the very last moment that peace
would be preserved through the Intercession
of the pope and the powers, neglected to lay
ln sufficient provision of coal, despite the
representations made to them by one or two
far-seeing naval officers.
Besides this, it ia believed they never
once inquired of the British or other neutral
governments whether coal would be regarded
as contraband of war. The result is said to
be a state of things which may be fraught
with unpleasant surprises and bring hostili
ties to a premature end.
Those In the secret were anxious to over
throw the cabinet on other grounds before
the beginning of war, for a patriotic con
sideration forbade a public discussion of the
country's weak point on the eve of hostili
ties. The short time allowed for the delibera
tions of parliament rendered this intention
difficult of execution and the Liberal cabinet
which conducted the negotiations would be
allowed to bear the responsibility for the re
sults during the conflict.
This alarming story comes from an excel
lent source, quite above all suspicion, even
of hostility to the cabinet.
If, as I fear, this should demonstrate its
truth, the close of the war may also be the
end not only of the Liberal government but
of much else which is infinitely more worthy
of respect than any political party, and
which enjoys the sympathy of all Europe.
I hear that extreme depression prevails
among the few who are Initiated into this
painful secret.
OPPOSED TO PRIVATEERING.
WASHINGTON, April 21.— During
the cabinet session this afternoon tele
grams were read to the effect that the
Spanish fleet was still at the Cape
Verde islands.
On the question of privateering, the
cabinet, from the first, has been a
unit in opposition to it, unless that
course should be forced upon us by
the action of Spain. The president is
strongly opposed to this so-called sys
tem of robbery on the high seas, and,
unless he is driven to that extremity
in retaliation, the legitimate commerce
of the world, so far as this country is
concerned, will be as safe after actual
hostilities begin as now.
Too Many Cooks.
WASHINGTON. Aprll 21.— Senor Polo y
Bernabe, upon his departure from Washing
ton, left the affairs of Spain in the hands of
the French ambassador and the minister
from Austria-Hungary, and so informed the
state department. The arrangement ls not ac
ceptable to the administration. It will recog
nize either France or Austria, but will not
concede the right of Joint representation. It
is probable that France alone will become
Spain's representative here.
Guard for McKinley.
WASHINGTON, April 21.— The Post tomor
row will say: A military guard will be
placed at the White house in a few days.
This has been definitely settled, but none of
the details of the arrangements are known.
McCleary BUL
WASHINGTON, April 21.— 1t is understood

of the committee on banking and currency
have reached an agreement to vote for the
general currency bill reported by the Mc-
