GUNNER GATES TELLS HIS STORY Subject of the Conference With the President Yesterday. —— SPANISH GUNS RECOVERED The President has appointed Andrew C. Cunningham and Harry H.

Late yesterday afterncon Secretaries Hay end Long went to the White House and re- mained a long time in conference with the President. Rumors are afloat today that the conference was for <he purpose of send- ing word to Spain that she ust not delay the peace proceedings at Paris. These rumors are said to be incorrect. The con- ference, it is understood, related entirely to the situation in the east. The Presi- dent and his advisers are watching every move in China, and will see that the !n- terests of this country ere looked after. Secretary Hay is in touch with Minister Conger and is constantly receiving reports from him. Secretary Long is ready with his fighting machines to take whatever ac- tion is necessary. In Capt. Bench’s Behalf. Thomas W. Smith, J. D. Croissant, John W. Babson, M. I. Weiler and Tracy L.

Senator Foraker, who spoke at Wooster, opened with a eulogy on Gov. Bushnell and a review of his administration in Ohio, following with @ like tribute to President McKinley, with a review of h national administration, devoting most of his speech to the war with Spain and to the problems which follow it. In advocating the Monrose doctrine he re- viewed the oppression in Cuba during Pres- ident Grant's aGministration and held that the cause of humunity then called for as- sistance. He pictured Spantsh tyranny in the West Indies must grephically untll he reached thz period of Weylerism, when he was as fierce in his utterances as the former captain ge was in his crucities. How War Wax Brought About. After reviewing the struggles of the in- surgents the senator detailed the inctdents that led to the American Congress declar- ing war against Spain, and took radical issue with those who opposed that action, including ex-Secretary Sherman, who re- cently in an interview said: “The entire responsibility for the war with Spain rests upon the shoulders of Congress. It was Congress that declared war and delivered to Spain an insulting and exasperating proctamation. * * * “It was not necessary for us to go to war with Spain. * * * I could have arranged a treaty by which Spain would have pea fully retired from the Island of Cuba. * Spain was in dire need of money at that time, and I believe that for less than a hundred million of dollars she would have called her soldiers home, and given to the Cubans such a system of autonomy as would have rendered them practically tn- depenent. Senator Foraker proceeded: Other dis- tinguished statesmen of our party spoke to the same effect. One said the war was not only unnecessary, but the work of yellow is, demagogues and politicians. It is ely ni ‘ary now to say that the ac- of © s Was not premature, or in- Lisbon, ner appropriate, but fully warranted. I had no patience with the proposition that Spain hould receive compensation for her abdi- ion of the country she had misgoverned for centuries and despoiled and desolated. I had no patience with the idea that the Maine could be left for just settlement to the Span of ju and honor. 1 had no faith in the idea that autonomy for Cuba with a continuance of Spanish’ soy- would b eptable to the island result in pacification or good govern- I believed that the people of Cuba acrinced their blood and treasure for independence and were entitled to it; and that it was our duty to come to the rescue. Stands by His Position. I said this at the beginning and I repeat ic all now. There has been much said re- cently about incompetency and misman- agement on account of which our troops have suffered severely. No doubt there have been some mistakes. It would be re- markable if there had not been, but a full irvestigaticn will vindicate the zeal and patriotism, the courage and the integrity of all who have been assailed. All have erly tears for the dead und those who have been stricken with disease and over- taken with affliction. These are the in- separable features of all wars, and notwith- Standing all that may have occurred of this character, the fact remains that the recerd of the three months during which that war continued Is the most brilliant chapter in American history. It has scarce- ly an equal in the annals of the world. Almost before we realized that we actually had war, Spain was suing for peace. Two of her navies had been completely de- stroyed and one of her largest armies had been defeated and compelled to sur- renéer. ** * ” In this war we have builded wiser than we knew. Our fathers of the revolution did not take up arms for independence, but only resistance of tyranny. Events broad- ened their purpose. Lincoln called for trcops to sav> the Union, but events broad- ered his purpose and slavery was abolish- ed. Our initial action had reference only to Cuba, but Spain declared for war gen- erally and thus broadened the field so as to include Porto Rico and the Philippines, and thus we have greater prestige, free Cuba and territorial acquisitions of incal- culable importance. Have Learned Some Lessons. “We have also learned some lessons. We have learned that it is not wise to be whol- ly or practtcally unprepared for war. It is a wise maxi still that in time of peace we should prepare for war—at least to the ex- tent of maintaining an army and a navy commensurate with our wealth and popu- lation and interests; and in this connection we have learned that we cannot depend upon great wealth or great population or zealous patriotism alone for our national defense. It was good fortune that the long peace since our civil war was first inter- tupted by trouble with Spain rather than with England or some other great power able to strike at once. We have learned the necessity for coast defenses, a guod navy and a good army, both adequate in numbers as well as in quality. We have Jearned another thing, and that fg that the Nicaragua canal is essential sot only to commerce, buf also to our efficient defense. 'To reach the scene of action, the Oregon was required to sail 10,000 miles farther than weuld have been necessary if she could have crossed the isthmus, and now, with tho Iowa as a consort, she has start: ed to return to the Pacific and it is esti- mated that it will require three months for ercignty or “The. great questions of the hour are what shall-we do:with @hba?- What shall we do with Porto Rico? And what par- ticularly with the ‘Philippines? So far as Cuba is concerned there should be no ques- tion whatever. The Cubans have earned thetr independence. We solemniy de- clared not only that they. are free and in- dependent, but also that they shall have a government of their own gchoosing. We must keep our promise and we will. But this promise of independence to Cuba does not apply to Porto Rico or to the Phillp- pines. We took these islands by the con- quest of war, and they arejours. I do not kuow what the treaty of peace, now being prepared in Paris, will ptoVide, but I sin- cerely hope it will give to-the United States not simply a coaling stasten.or a single is- Jand, but the whole group of the Philip- pine Islands. I have no fear of the ability of our people successfully to govern them, and I feel that it would be a crime to re- turn them to the government of Spain. Under our protection and guidance they can have intelligence and prosperity and we can have a base of operations in the far east highly essential to securing our fair share of the trade in China and the rest of the eastern world. “Japan has stepped to the front with a commerce that is greatly to the advantage of all who trade with her. The possibil- ities with China are far greater. Al! the great nations are struggling for their share of the trade to be developed when China has oper ed up the communication and com- merce with the world. The. United States must have her full, falr share in tnat trade. Governments for Thexe Islands. “One of the questions now pressing upon us is hcw to provide governments for these islands and so to gcvern and direct affairs as to acquire the commerce to which we are entitled and secure the consequent presperity to all cur people. Only that party should be entrusted with it that has shown itself\ most capable of dealing with great affairs, Both in peace and in war the republican party has proven equal to every emergency, and the record it has made is a gnarantee that it will mest these problems of the future and solve them with the same triumphant success that has at- tended it in ell its britiant career. 1 do not believe any fair-minded democrat would question the fitness of the republican party for the discharge of this duty. But, how- ever it might be otherwise, the work is already in the hands of President McKin- ley. What he wants is the support of a republican House of Revresentativ: PREDICTS SUCCESS Former Senator Ingalls of Kansas Discusses Republican Prospects. — PRESIDENT’S CONSERVATIVE COURSE Public Sentiment Respecting Re- tention of Conquered Territory. NOVEL CAMPAIGN ISSUES Former United States Senator John J. Ingalls of Kans: who''Kas We2n in Wash- ington for a few days, for the purpose of locating his family for the winter, left y terday afternoon. for Indianapolis, where he is expected to make a campaign speech for ¢ republicans. After leaying that city will make a tour of Iowa and other western states, and will address political meetings almost every evening until elec- tion day in November. Mr. Ingalls was seen by a Star r2porter while on his way west on a Chesapeake and Obio train, and in reply. tg questions as to the outlook for republican success this tall Mr. Ingalls replied: | : “As a rule, in our politics, the. party that has carried on a successful war has con- trollsd its administration for the next gen- eration. The revolutionary patriots re- tained political power until the war of 1812, and the heroes of that conflict maintained their supremacy for the next quarter of a century. The Mexican war dominated our politics till th> outbreak, of the rebellion, and the republicans have been practical! in power ever since. Great Results of War. “Whatever may be gaid about the defects and infirmities of the War Department, the fact remains that the republican party con- dicted the Spanish war to a triumphant ccncluston, with greater results on land and sea than were ever obtained in so short a time within the historic period. President McKinley, by his conservative course at the outset, and by the extraordinary vigor of Tis prosecution of military operations when the possibilities of peacé were exhausted, has achieved the unuswal distinction of enjoying the confidence and respect of th> entire American people, without regard to party. Whatever the orators may say about Alger or Shafter, nobody assails Me- Kinley. “Democratic ascendency in the House of Representatives would be rightfully con- as a verdict of condemnation against » President, and, so far as I can judge, the outlook for republican success was never more encouraging than now? “I attended the republican convention at Saratoga last week. The politics of New York, while they have been convulsive and disturbed by the ambition of rival leaders, may perhaps be considered more near! a reflex of national sentiment than any other state in the Union. While the en- thusiasm was not especially pronounced, it was apparent from every speech and from the responses of the delegates that nation- al issues were paramount, and that all per- sonal differences would be rencunced in the effort to make the result in November a substantial verdict of approval of the na- tonal administration. What Democratic Success Means. “Democratic supremacy in the House of Representatives, so far as the issues have been formulated in their platforms, would be regarded not only as an Indorsement of the assaults upon the administration, but as a return to the abandonec heresies of 1896. Foreign nations would te warranted in considering it a repudiatioa of all the great results of the war and a refusal to accept the enormous benefits and advan- tages which the victories of Dewey and Sampson offer the United-States in connec- tion with the development of the Pacific empire, which is to be the theater of the great commercial, social and Sadustrial ac- tivities of the twentieth century.” Speaking about tepritorfal acquisitions Mr. Ingalls sald that gince the destruction of the Maine he had been in more than half the states of the Union, and everywhere, among all classes of’imen, sentiment was practically unanimous¢tn retaining all that had been conquered. | This includes the 1,900 islands in the Philippines archipelago, varying in size from @ dinner plate to the area of New England,'and every intelligent man recognizes that the only question is whether these millions who: have hitherto been the helpless victims of tyranny shall be admitted to membership, in that great system which is based upon equal rights and equal opportunities for,all men, or re- turned to the barbaric conditions of me- diaevalism. Mates Possibilities of the Campaign, Continuing, Mr. Ingftis séia: “It will not be si if the republi- cans lose some districts; it will not be a walkover for the republicans. Unquestion- ably there is apathy and indifference, par- ticularly in the west. The people are think- ing. The issues are novel. The fallacy of the epoch upon which we are entering is an innovation, and, in addition to this, the assaults upon the War Department’ may have their effect in localities where dis- charged volunteers have returned with their stories of neglect and hardship. But on the whole the effect of these accusations has already been discounted, and while proph- ecy in politics 1s notoriously uncertain, it is safe to predict the election of a substantial republican majority in the next House of Rey@sentatives. In the Senate the result is more uncertain because money, intrigue and manipulation ‘often su in sub- verting the popular will. ° “Were senators chosen as ghey should be in every state by direct vote of the people, there is no doubt this body would be repub- lican also.” “ Wright Smith Taken From Annapolis Pillager Indians Seize a Tug at Bear | | ay Jail and Shot. HE -WAS ACCUSED OF ASSAULT The Victim, Mrs. Morrison, Had Positively Identified Him. LYNCHERS FROM BALTIMORE ANNAPOLIS, Md., October 5.—Wright Smith, colored, who attempted an assault on Mrs. Morrison, the wife of Capt. James Morrison of the third district, residing near Jones station, was taken from jail shortly after 2 o'clock this morning and shot. The lynching party went to the jail, point- ed guns at Night Watchman Duvall and took the prisoner to Sanders’ lot, near the city cemetery and riddied the body with bullets. Smith begged for mercy, and cried “Murder” as he was being removed from jail. At 2 o'clock this morning the bell rang at the front jail door. This is the night signal to bring in a prisoner. Watchman Thomas J. Duvall went to the door. He took down the inside iron bar, and as soon as he did the door was burst open and a half dozen revolvers were pointed at his head. Behind them were masked men, and to the rear of them more armed men. Without a word they forced the watchman to the second floor, and then they demanded the keys to the corridor and cells. He gave them up. Went Straight to Smith's Cell. The door of the corridor swung open, and straight to the cell of Smith went the men. The cell door was thrown wide open and the prisoner ordered to come out. Neither the assailants nor the doomed man had a word to say. By this time the lynche: thirty in number, crowded the jail corr! dors, some in light white clothes and masks and some without masks. Watchman Du- vall says he could not make out any per- son individually, nor could he tell whether they were young or middle-aged men. The prisoner was compelled to go before the mob. He walked down the siuirs to the front door and out. He neither offered re- sistance nor uttered a word until he reach- ed the front steps on Calvert street. Then he gave a cry of “Murder No time was lost, and he was shoved on be- fore the lynchers, now numbering between ferty and fifty. He was taken to the col ner of Northwest street and Calvert, a dis- tance of fifty yards. As Smith turned up Northwest street to the city cemetery one of the crowd struck him with a cobblestone and he fell. Then he cried “Murder” again and when ten yards in advance of the crowd the lynchers began to fire on the ravisher. He fled to the open lot on North- west street, to the rear of Sanders’ row of buildings. The moon gave sufficient. Nght to let the lynchers see what they were do- ing. The reports of the revolvers aroused people in the vicinity, and on looking ‘aw and heard or more. Smith fell dead on the grass. Then the lynchers went off as quietly as they came. Lynchers From Morrison's Home. The lynchers were evidently from the section of the assault. They came in bug- gies, which were tied up on College creek bridge, at the northern boundary of An- napolis. When they left their buggies they walked through the rear of the campus of St. John’s College and then to the jail. The crime for which Smith was lynched occurred on the night of September 2, while Captain Morrison was absent from home. The house was entered by a negro, who broke into the room occupied by Mrs. Mor- rison and her sister, and attempted to as- sault them. Both women fought desperate- ly and finally drove off their assailant. Last Monday Smith, who had disappeared from the neighborhood, was arrested in Baltimore and taken to Annapolis. Mrs. Morrison unhesitatingly identified him as her assailant. He trembled violently, but denied his guilt. There was much feeling against the prisoner from the time of his identification. Smith Tried to Escape. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. ANNAPOLIS, Md., October 5.—Wright Smith, the negro who was lynched here last night, got away at the jail door and started to run. The crowd fired. Five shots took effect, two In the body, one in his leg and two in his head, one of the latter fatal, blowing out the base of the brain. Justice Brewer, the coroner, summoned a jury this morning, and examined the jail’ officials and adjourned until Friday night. It is thought here that the mob was from Federal Hill, Baltimore, where Captain Morrison and family reside. Gov. Lowndes Will Investigate. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. BALTIMOR! Md., October 5.—Gov. Lowndes expressed the greatest indigna- tion at the Annapolis lynching tcday to The Star correspondent, and said that he will use the full power of the state admin- istration to ferret out the offenders. He will go to Annapolis tonight to confer with the local authorities on subject. a Virginia Republican Axsociation. The Virginia Republican Assvciation held a regular meeting last night at 2108 Sth street norhtwest, with a large attendance of members present. It was called to ord- by Mr. J. H. Harrison, president of association, promptly at $ o'clock, who stated that the election of officers and other important matters were to be attended to. After the admission of new candidates and the disposal of other routine matter, the association proceeded to the election of oth- cers, with the following result J. H. Harrison, president; C. W. White, vice president; W. H. a. Young, corre- sponding secretary; J. H. Gentry, recording Nary; Chas. A. Luczs, assistant secre- tary; W. H. Corbin, treasurer; Lewis Scott, sergeant-at-arms. The president, in returning thanks to the association for their confidence in him and his repeated re-election, called attention to the lack of harmony prevailing in some of the congressional districts of Virginia and a growing disposition to disrupt and -iefeat the regular nominees of the party, and that men were being used as political tools and catspaws for the enemy. He said the mem- bers of this association should discoun- tenance and condemn such actions. He was heartily applauded at the conclusion of his speech. Mr. W. E. Page, in his address, stated that he was being misrepresented by the unlawful use of his name, connecting him with a so-called Virginia republican lecgue, and of which he was not aware until ho saw his name upon one of their circulars; that it was done without his knowledge or consent. While he was favoraole t- a col- ored republican candidate for congressional honors, provided he secured the same through the proper channels, he was un- alterably opposed to any one foisting him- self upon the people for the purpose of bringing about a dissension in the party. The association will open headquarters at 923 F street northwest, where the nex: rez- ular-meeting will be held, for the purpose of sending voters to their homes, to regis: ter and vote in the coming election. ~ —_.— Goldenberg’s Curtain En: In the announcement yesterday of the big anniversary sale at Goldenberg’s “‘De- pendable Store” it was inadvertently steted that $15 lace curtains were being sold for 69 cents. Of course such a declara- tion was only regarded as amusing by the reading public. It should have been said that the ends of lace curtains, which sell in full lengths at $15 per pair, were being sold at 69 cents. The large sale of them skows they are most excellent bargains. The anniversary sale will continue all of this week. —_.__. Thanks to Police. Messrs. E. G.

Island. CAPTAIN THREATENED WITH DEA Demanded to Know Strength of Troops Sent After Them. FEAR OF AN UPRISING MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., October 5.—A special to the Journal from Walker, Minn., says: EB The Indians are apparently determined to resist the troops. Capt. Ed. Lucian has just come in with the tug Vera. She had to put into Bear Island last night on ac: count of heavy weather and was at once seized by the Pillagers. Her fires were pulled and the boat tied up by the Indians. They threatened Lucian with death un- Jess he revealed the strength of the mili- tary forees and the time a start would be made frgm Walker. Lucian could not give the information they wanted and was held until daylight this morning and then re- leased. He says the bucks were in paint and feathers Gen. Bacon's Force Lands. Gen. Bacon has landed his detachment on the mainland opposite Bear Island through a heavy surf. There was no hostile demon- stration and no Indians in sight. Thé bush is being scoured in an attempt to find them, but they appear to have retreated in the direction of Cass lake. The authorities think the Indians will make their stand at Little Boy lake, thirty miles east of Leech lake, where conditions favor them. Several armed bands of Indians have been seen, apparently making for a ren- dezvous. The settlers are terror-strieken but Gen. Bacon says every precaution has been taken for their safety. A heavy gale is blowing and the air is full of snow. making operations on the lake difficult. If it develops that the Indians have retreated to Little Boy lake it is likely the forces will be brought back here and taken by train to Lothrop, and thence marched across country Gen. Bacen’s Command Starts. WALKER, Minn. October 5.—General Ba- con, with his Santiago veterans from the 3d Infantry, left early today for Bear Is- land, determined to bring the recalcitrant Pillager Indians to terms by force, if neces- ry. tered two steamboats and ree. da Gatling and a Hotchkiss ara with which to clear the island of ible ambushes. The men are under the immediate command of Captain Wilkinson. A corporal’s squad will be sent from Fort elling to Bena, across Leach L from Walker, to protect government. property and records at the engineering station. It is also possible that the soldiers from the 14th Minnesota Volunteers at Duluth will be sent to protect the government dam at Winnebogoshish. General Uprising Feared. There are some apprehensions here of a general Chippewa uprising. The various branches of the Chippewas in this vicinity have about 600 fighting men, and could make much trouble if they joined the Pil- lagers. The authorities, however, do not share in the apprehensions, and believe the matter. will be speedily settled. Gus Beau: lieu, who has Chippewa blood tn. his and who is a fast friend of the tribe, is con- fident that he can settle the difficulty. He went to Bear Island last night, promising to bring in Bog-Ah-Mah-Le-Shig, the cause of the troubles, and the leader of the mal- contents, > SUGAR TRUST'S NEW INDUSTRY. It Will Go Into “Package Sug: "in Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA, October 5.—The Amer- tcan Sugar Refining Company, which con- trols the Spreckels and Franklin refineries of this elty, is said to be making prepara- tions to go into the “package sugar’ busi- ness in competition with the Arbuckles of New York, who have had this trade entire- ly to themselves. Men are at work putting the old Delaware sugar house into condi- tion to be used as a plant for putting up ackage sugar.” : ‘At the office of the Franklin refinery one of the officials admitted that the building in question was to be used as a plant here for putting up “package sugar” and that jt was expected to begin business within the next sixty days. A well-known sugar broker, in speaking of this new movement of the sugar trust, sald: “The majority of the sugar factorie; ale sugar dealers and grocers not much in favor of thi ‘package ar’ industry, as they believe it will cl: and who! are 1 h with the regular trade of selling refined urs by the barrel. The trade so far in tyle of sugar has been mainly in the country, but what the future outcome may be no one ¢ It is generally betieved and in. the : coffe: trade that the trust, with the Woolston Spice Mills in Ohio turning out package nd a ge sugar plant in this c nd one bly in New York, means an 1 conflict between the Ame can Sugar Refining Company and the Ar- buckles for the mastery in these lines of package goods.” a cRIOUS INJURY. ” JFFERED Mr. James W. Somerville the Victim of an Accident. Mr. James W. Somerville of the sirm of ‘Thos. Somerville and Son, is confine? to his home at Mt. Pleasant by injuries received several days ago, while riding his bicycle down 15th street. He run into by a passing cab just opposite the Treasury De- partment, thrown heavily to the ground, and his wheel demolished. His friends state that the Emergency Hospital am- Wulance was called, but that Mr. Somer- ville insisted upon being taken to a neigh- boring hotel rather than to the hospital. At the hotel it was discovered he was not only badly bruised, but that a shoulder was disloeated. He remained at the hotel for several hours, it is said, and was then re- moved to his home and the family phy- sician called in, whe found that, in addition to his other injuries, Mr. Somerville had svffered a broken collar bone. It is claimed by Mr. Somerville’s frierds that he failed to receive from the surgeon in charge of the ambulance the treatment his injuries warranted, and that no report of the acci- dent was made to his family by the hos- pital authorities. Mr. Somerville is report- ed to be fast recovering from his injuries, but it is stated that it will be some time before he will recover sufficiently to enable him to Jeave his home. ———_—_.
