STATE HAS INTEREST THERE
IRON RANGE RATE CASE IN
VOLVES MINNESOTA
State Aaditor Dunn Is of the Be
lief That a Reduction of Preiuht
Bates on Ore Would tireatly In
crease the Hm pm. and Thus Aug
ment the Revenues of the State
In Proportion.
There is a strong probability that the
trtate will take an active part in the
case brought by several Duluth parties
against the Duluth & Iron Range and
tho Dulu'th, Missabe & Northern rail
way to compel them to reduce the ex
isting tonnage rate on iron ore, which
■will be heard before the state railroa'l
and warehouse commission ln Duluth
July 12.
State Auditor Dunn stated yesterday
that the btate was Interested to the
extent of £0,000 acres of land, which
were known positively to be rich in
iron ore, and which brought annually I
a large revenue to the state.
The state was greatly Interested ln j
the ease, a? cheaper rates would ln- !
crease the tonnage and necessarily be i
the source cf an additional revenue to
the state.
The case Is brought by J. G. Brown, j
W. J. Koconan und Eliza Koconan, who I
claim in their complaint that the pres- |
ent rate of 80 cents per 2,240 pounds is
exorbitant and unjust, and they further !
allege that the railroad companies own
the mm*3 themselves, and make a
profit out of the freight rate thus im
posed. Thty also assert that by keep
ing up the rate the railroad companies
render worthless all mines not operat
ed by the railroad corporations, as out-
Bine persons can not compete with the
combination efteced through corporate

ownership of the mines and railroad
oornpanlt s
The co.nplainan.ta ask that the rate
be reduced tc 40 cents, just one-half
the amount now charged for hauling
iron ore from points on the Vermillion I
and Mesa be ranges to either Two Har
bore or Duluth.
Auditor Dunn thinks that such a rz
duction would result In a movement
of development on the part of prospec
tors, which has been disr-ouraged In i
tho past by the high rates charged by i
the railroad companies for hauling the
ore, and tlie combination effected by I
the joint ownership of the mines and j
railroad companies, which worked i
hardship to ail parties desiring to have |
a share in the ore business.
There is al&o, Mr. Dunn says, a vast ''
area of land adjoining that which is j
known as -the Vermillion and Mesabe j
ranges, which, if prospecting was en
couraged by the state, would undoubt- i
edly become just as valuable as any
now in the possession of the state.
The first ger.eral law authorizing the
state to lease mineral lands, and issue
prospectors permits, was pass d by th 2
legislature >f 18S5 and subsequently
amended by sessions of 1895 and 1897.
Tinder this law the s-iate auditor issues
f\-S2O prospectors' permits at $25 each.
These resulted in many oases in min
ing contracts being made with the
state, which have brought a large
amount of revenue into th? state tr as
ury during the thirteen years which
the law has been ln effect. Perhaps the
largest number of these papers were
Issued during the term of AudHtor Bra
dcii. A couple of years after the law
went into effect the first mining con
tracts were made with the state, which
under the provisions of the law were
ln force for fifty years. The state re
ceived $1000 per year for these con
tracts, until actual mining commenced.
Out of these contracts actual mining
was done ln only two cases, namely the
Oliver mine and the Biwablk Moun
tain Iron mine. These two mines have
paid in royalties into <the state treas
ury $255,732 for the privilege of mining
1,220,928 tons of iron ore. The state
has also received $63,000 for the fees on
the prospecting permits taken out, and
$H,500 from contracts where actual
mining had not taken place.
These contracts all indicate that
there is actual mining value ln the
lands, and that by development they
will some day become very valuable.
The total amount received by the
state in fees and royalties on the prod-
U" of these lands has been something
over $400,000 during the last ten or
t» elve years.

PORT ANTONIO, Jamaica, June 29.
— A small parcel containing a soldier's
camping hat, a pair of trunks, epau
lets and a picket outfit went out
from here today. It was one of the
sad relics of the battle of*Sevllla. The
outfit belonged to Capt. A. K. Capron,
Fort Sill., O. T, U. S. A., and when it
reaches the little garrison post on the
plains a fortnight hence ft will tell to
a broken-hearted woman the cruel
story of a soldier's death. The articles
were those worn by brave Capt. Allyn
K. Capron, who commanded Company
X, of the rough riders, in their heroic
assault upon the Spanish outpost.
No message accompanied the parcel.
The soiled grey hat and the blood
stained epaulets will tell the story of
death, and the pages of American his
tory will tell the mourning widow of
the bravery of her hero.
The articles in the parcel were taken
from Capt. Capron's body after his
death and sent here to United States
Consul Snyder by one of the dispatch I
boats. When they reached the consul
they were wrapped in such fragments
of paper and cloth as could be picked
up about the field hospital and tied
with wire. With the care and tender
ness of a brother Mr. Snyder carefully
packed them and sent, them on their
way under the seal of the American
consulate.
Capt. Capron died as he lived, a
fearless, noble American. Even when
a Spanish bullet had pierced his body
and the death pallor was creeping over
hs face, he smiled at his comrades,
telling them to go on with their fight
ing and do their duty. Nobody that
did not pass through It will ever
know the hardship that preceded the
final triumph. It is now history.
BRUISED AND THIRSTING.
Daylight brought the order to drive
the Spanish out of the outpost that the
Cubans had brought news of being a
few miles ahead. There was no delay
nor hesitation, but on they went over
rocks that at times bruised their legs,
through thickets that left bloodstains
and swol en places upon their f-tces and
hands. The sun poured down upon
them. Canteens were soon drained and
blankets and outer clothing were cast
off. The mci:, parch d wl'th thlist, ask
ed cheerfully for just one swallow
from a comrade's canteen. With each
step forward the heat grew more in
tense. All along the trail there were
cool shadowy spots where the great
palms grew thickest, but the men did
not stop there. On they went through
the burning heat. Now and again a
sturdy fellow struggled for a moment
and sank down under the terrible ex
posure. Hurriedly he was carried to a
shady place and left to recover while
the column wis movnr b: isk y onw_-ri.
Then like a sudden dash of rain from a
tropical sky came the storm of Span
ish bullets. Flashes in the green
thickets like the glow of fireflies at
night was all our men could see. To
the right, to the left and in front of
i hem the Mauser rifles cracked and the
thicket was aglow with death flashes.
It was then that Capt. Capron, with
his brave little band from Troop L,
dashed forward into the very hiding
place of the Spaniards. It was an aw
ful hour. Burning with thirst and sun
heat, pressing on 'through a swarm of
hissing bullets, bruised by rocks and
torn by cactus thorns they fought like
mad men.
FATAL, BULLET.
Only once during the battle was there
the slightest sign of wavering or even
hesitation, and that was the momentt
when Capt. Capron sank to the ground
mortally wounded. With a revolver in
his right hand, firing and loading, he
had been pressing ln advance of his
men, talking to them constantly and
urging them to move rapidly. There
had been a brief lull In the firing from
the thicket, and Capt. Capron was call
ing to his men to push forward. He
was standing erect and was ln the act
of levelling his revolver to fire when
a fierce volley crashed from the thicket
and the pistol dropped from his hand.
He sank upon the ground with his left
hand pressed to his side, but with his
right hand still pointing to the spot
where the Spaniards were flashing.
Several comrades knelt over him, but
he motioned them away:
"Don't mind me, boys," he said, "go
en Into the thicket."
Stricken with death, the brave man
heard his little band rushing on Into
the thicket and with eyes from which
life was fast fading, he saw the enemy
retreating down the hill. When the
battle was over Capt. Capron was car
ried carefully by his comrades to the
little hospital ln the rear, but before
the sun went down ithe calm of a sol
dier's death was upon his features.
With his dead comrades he is buried on
the battlefield.
The little parcel which left here to
day will indeed carry a sad message to
the soldier's widow on the plains of
Oklahoma. It is all that Is left to her
of her dead hero. But the little grave
In the Cuban hills Is not sacred to her
alone. It Is hallowed ground to all who
love the word "America."
GREAT LOSS OF OFFICERS.
It la Attributed to Their Daring
and Proverbial Dash.
WASHINGTON, July s.—Consider
able comment has been caused among
the officials of the war department by
the great loss of American officers ln
the two dayr of fishtlng at Santiago.
Official reports thus far received indi
cate that fifty-eight American officers
were killed or wounded and the list Is
enly partial.
Speaking of the matter this evening,
Adjt. Gen. Corbin said that a finer lot
of officers than was with Gen. Shafter's
corps in Cuba never wore shoulder
straps. They were, he said, brave, ag
gressive and brilliant, and were well
worthy to carry the honor of the Stars
and Stripes. Gen. Corbin did not for
get the enlisted men in his comment,
saying that ihe great majority of Shaf
ter's force was the pick of the regular
army, strong, resolute, admirably dis
ciplined and thoroughly enthusiastic
and patriotic.
Shafter's army Is laboring at some
disadvantage, not only on account of
the Intense heat and the shock of a
great battle, but also on account of
the loss and disability of so many offi
cers. While none of the general offi
cers have been wounded, no less than
five of them are 111, and were they at
home would be ln bed.
Gen. Shafter, himself, is suffering
from a Bevere Indisposition. His con
dition, according to last reports, was
soT-iewhat Improved, but It Is notable
he directed the first day's fight from a
cot en which he was lying. Gen. Joseph
Wheeler, ln command of the cavalry
division, was very seriously ill, but
whin the buttle began insisted against
the protes; of his surgeon, that he be
taken to the front. He went in an am
bulance, but when he arrived on the
lieid he mounted his horse and person-
ally directed the operations of his men.
Gen. Young, Oen. Hawkins and Acting
Rrig. Gen. Wood, of the rough riders,
aje jll, bnt It understood that their con
dition l's nof serious.
The heavy loss of officers 1b due to
the dash and bravery £f (lie officers
themselves. Instance after Instance
has been disclosed of offffcers 1 springing
in "front of their "oomniands and leading
them in "brilliant sorties a&ainst the*
enemy. Quite naturally ; the Spanish
sharpshooters singled out the officers as
targets, and the result.was that the
American forces suffered particularly
heavy in this respect. . '

SPANISH BARBARITY.
Enemy's Sharpshooters Shoot Down
American Wounded.
Copyrighted by the Associated Press.
CENTER OF THE LINE, Santiago,
July 1 (delayed in transmission, via
Kingston, Jamaica, July 4). — One of the
features of the flght which has aroused
great Indignation among the American
troops Is the action of the Spanish In
having sharpshooters ln the trees along
the line of the American troops. Of
course, If the sharpshooters had fired
on armed men they would have done no
more than was expected, but one Span
ish marksman, from his post, fired on
wounded men and on men carrying the
wounded to the rear.
Several members of the ambulance
corps were wounded ln this manner
and two wounded men who were toil
ing along to the rear were shot and
killed. Some of these marksmen were
posted less than half a mile from the
American camp.
RACE TROUBLES.
Bad Blood Between White and Col
ored Troops at Camp Tanner.
SPRINGFIELD, 111., July 5. — For
several days there has been bad blood
between the white and colored volun
teers assembled at Camp Tanner. Sev
eral of the white troops claim to have
been robbed by the negroes on guard,
under the pretense of being put under
arrest. Late last night the trouble
culminated, when about 150 of the ne
groes, armed with guns and bayonets,
went to the tents of the white regi
ment, the Ninth, under the pretense
that they intended to serenade them.
A riot was imminent, when Col. James
R. Campbell and Lieut. Col. Eben
Swift, of the Ninth regiment, appeared
and compelled the negroes to return
to their quarters. Col. Campbell se
cured an order today from Admiral
General Recce prohl^ltirife the men of
each regiment from- encroaching on

KEY WEST, Fla., Jufj Ji.^The Red Cross
steamer Iroquois arrived this afternoon from
Santiago de Cuba with 3EO wtMiiided on board.
No communication with tße vessel is per
mitted. ' '.' '
Instructions from the' State board of health
are awaited.
CABLE IS yrO^KING,
Bnt There Is No Direct Commnnlca
tion With Santiago City.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, July s.— The
operators on the West India and Pan
ama cable station at Santiago de
Cuba have suspended business on ac
count of the fighting there. Commu
nication with Santiago, via Kingston,
consequently, Is closed, but not with
Cuba, The cable to Santiago had
been connected with Clenfuegos by
the Santiago cable, and the line from I
here is now working to Clenfuegos and
direct thence to Havana.
PREPARING TRANSPORTS.
Grand Dncheia Purchased From the
Plant Line.
WASHINGTON, July s.— The war
department has chartered the steamer
Grand Duchess^ of the Plant line, for
use as a transport* She "is now at
Newport News, and is well adapted
for the work Intended, being roomy,
speedy and fitted out with modern Im
provements. The first Rhode Island
regiment of Infantry, Col. Abbott
commanding, Is under orders to pro
ceed to Santiago on this vessel, and
May leave Camp Alger at any time.
The Obdam, recently purchased from
the Netherlands line, Is being fitted
out so as to accommodate 1,300 Infan
trymen with equipments. The Mobile,
of the Atlantic Transport line, is be
ing prepared to accommodate caval
rymen, and. as soon as she Is ready
will be sent to a southern port for
transporting troops.
Hereafter the Obdam Is to be known
as No. 30, the Mohawk as No. 20, the
Mississippi as No. 25, the Mobile as
No. 1, the Port Victor as No. 2, and the
Panama as No. 3. This Is ln accord
ance with the policy adopted of chang
ing the names of foreign vessels to
designated numbers after they come
into the possession of the United
States.
AMERICAN CASUALTIES.
An I'Mlmiilp ShowiiiK Fully I, TOO
Dead and Wounded.
Copyrighted by The Associated Press.
BEFORE SANTIAGO, Sunday, July 3 (via
Kingston, July 4).— The fighting during the
last two days has cost the American army
1,700 men. This estimate is made by the
surgeons at division headquarters after care
ful figuring by the surgeons at the hospital.
The list of wounded, as made up at the di
vision headquarters, is very large in propor
tion to the list of those killed outright. Prob
ably less than 100 all told of the number of
wounded have died, making the total number
of deaths in the neighborhood of 100. The
remainder of the wounded will probably re
cover.
Considering the fact that not over 12,000
men were engaged on our side, and not all
of these were actually under fire, the per
centage Is very heavy. The slaughter, was
brought about mainly by the gallantry with
which our troops advanced Into the open
ground ln the face of a heavy fire from the
Spanish entrenchments and rifle pits.
Our men generally had an opinion that
the Spanish could not shoot, and, it must
be confessed, thought they would not fight.
Both Impressions were erroneous, particular
ly the latter. The Spaniards have fought
with great determination and bravery. The
returns show that a number of regiments
suffered very heavily, the Seventy-first New
York being the worst cut up of the volun
teers and the Thirteenth and Sixth regular
infantry suffering most among the regu
lars, with the Seventh and Sixteenth regi
ments close In the race for glory. In some
companies of the Thirteenth regiment one
third of the men are gone, and there are
companies in that regiment now entirely with
out officers. In the Sixth more than one-third
of the officers are gone, only one field of
ficer, Maj. Minor, being left.
GRACEFUL COURTESY.
Spanish Officers Permitted to Com
municate With Their Families.
WASHINGTON, July 6— A graceful
courtesy today was extended to the
captured Spanish admiral, Cervera, by
the president. Through Gen. Greely,
chief signal officer, permission was sent
to Cervera to communicate with his
family ln Spain by cable. Permission
was also granted to other captured
Spanish officers to use the cable to
transmit personal messages to friends
in Spain. The messages, will be, of
course, carefully censored and nothing
allowed to pass that would be of as
sistance ln any manner to the authori
ties.

MANILA EXPEDITIONS.
They »»ay Be Delayed hy Lack of
TraiiHports.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 5.— A con
siderable quantity of bacon supplied to
the regular regiments at Camp Merrltt
was today condemned by a special
board of survey appointed by Maj. Gen.
E. S. Otis.
Today a board of survey will be ap
pointed for the Third hngade by Brig.
Gen. H. G. Otis at the request of Col.
Loper, to inquire into and report upon
the quality of the uniforms Issued to
the Fifty-first lowa regiment.
Measles is spreading in the Tennessee
and Kansas regiments, which are es
pecially harassed, although none of the
regiments at camp have escaped the
diif-ease. Surgeons say that measles
breaks out in most new levies of troops,
runs a more or less extended course
and dies out. Today there are sixty
six patients quarantined in the measles
ward.
Although the government is still in
possession of the steamers Peru and
City of Sidney for the next expedition
there are several other vessels in sight,
and it Is expected they will be secured
ln a few days and the expedition or
ganized.
Maj. Ruhlin, chief quartermaster of
the expeditionary forces, inspected the
Pennsylvania troops today.
That there will be a long wait be
fore the departure of the fourth Manila
expedition is evidenced from the faot
that the collier Titania. which is to
be chartered by the government, Is to
make another trip to Puget Sound, loa3
coal and return to this city before she
is turned over to the war department.
The Titania cannot make a round trip,
load and discharge in less than two
weeks. There may. however, be a fifth
expedition to which the collier will he
as-signed. In the meantime, although
the selection of troops depends mainly
on the transports, Maj. Gen. E. S. Otis,
commanding the troops of the Eighth
army corps, has begun to consider what
troops would be of most value in Ma
nila.
Gen. Anderson's issue of a call for
hcrses for Manila was a source of hope
to the cavalry, who have been threat
ened all along with the miserable lit
tle Manila horses, or en insufficient
number of their own animals. It Is
now thought that a whole regiment
may be sent to the Philippines.
The second expedition will probably
reach the Philippines about next Wed
nesday or Thursday, presuming the
vessels will travel alt an average speed
of ten knots, which is likely to be the
ppeed they will maintain, the Colon be
ing rather slow.
The United State 3 steamer Philadel-
3
phia, which has been under repairs i,t
Mare island, will be madv In abnS
two weeks. It is said th, "work b*?n£
done on her is of the best descrim on
and nothing is left to make her firs"
