6 LEECH LAKE WAR .It Came Near Seine an Indian Victory. SOLDIERS LUCKILY WITHDREW |f They Had Renewed Attack with out Reinforcements they Would Have Been Slaughtered. By Associated Pt6bjj. St. Paul, Minn., Dec. 13—A government agent who has juet returned from the northern part of the state where he has been for some time among the Indians has learned considerable about the recent war at Leech Lake and of how the Indians feel about it. “I was for some time on the Red Lake reservation,” he said today, "and while there saw a Leech Lake Indian who said that he was one of the Indians that took part in the battle atKugar Point. "He said that when General Bacon and his men arrived at Sugtr Point there were twenty ilndiane there holding council and that they were surprised in the first place to see the troops at all, and in the second place to find that there were more than twenty of them, a* they expected only the small detachment that went to Walker first. At that time only a few' of the In dians had their guns with them and the nest at once started ?for their guns. This was the reason that the attaejc w'aj not made while the troops were out searching the point for the men ithey wanted to ar rest. The Indian that remained on the point lay hidden in the woods waiting for the others to come bac'K with their arms and ammunition. We said that when the soldiers were beating around throughout the woods they passed twice within a few yards of where be was hiding. "The attack was made soon after the other Indians returned with their gune. He said there were thirty-two Indians in the fight and that three of them were kill ed and several wounded. He said that when the first fighi opened the Indians ahd one thousand rounds of ammunition and that they fired all away the first day. They did little fighting on the second day but withdrew for more aanmunition and rein forcements. He said that they ordered a large amount of ammunition and thirteen new' men <and returned to the battle ground on the secvnd morning after the fight pre pared to wipe out eyveiannm zbmbhhwypb pared to wipe .out every man in the place. When they reached there they found that the troops had left the battlefield and gone back to Walker.” The Indian said the soldiers fought bravely but that if they had not with drawn when they did they would have all been killed.

Dec. 13.—Among the passen- ■ gers arriving on the French line steamer j < hampagne was Bishop Tikhon, newly ap- j pointed head of the Russian church in America, tilthough nominally he ■i i s bishop ■ of the Aleutian Islands and Alaska. He was met at the pier by the Russian ' consul general and members of the Rus sian consul general and members of the I Russian colony in this city and escorted > at. once to -the Russian church where, in accordance with the customs of his church, he conducted a service of thanksgiving for I his safe arrival. A reception •followed in the apartments of ths rectory of the church, where the dwshop will reside during his brief stay in New York before going to his new field of labor.

He was graduated from the St. Petersburg theological academy in 1888, and immedi ately entered ’upon pedagogic work, at which he continued almost to the time of rank. He recently served as bishop of Livblin and Vicar of Khtoma, the Warsaw diodesc. His new diocese is said to be larges: in the world, as it includes the •whole of Nojth America and comprises about thirty parishes with as many churches and seventy chapels. MINE EXPLOSION.

"HEART OF MARYLAND'" Play that is Impossible, Untrue, Libellous and Recklessly Sensational. It might be possible in the years to ; come, when a stable form of government I has heen established in the island of Cuba, a Cuban playwright could fashion -a play after the "Heart of Maryland," and, bas . ing his plot in the time of the Spanish wars in Cuba, give to the characters of his ’ Spaniards as hideous, as disreputable and . as repulsive parts as the writer of the ' "Heart of Maryland” gave to the charac ters in the play presented at the Academy of Music last night, but we can hardly | think that the company will cross the seas i and attempt a presentation of the play in j the theatres o f Spain. However, after thirty years have gone by the Spaniards may ait quietly in front ot the curtain and see their countrymen traduced by the malignant playwright j through the actors who play the parts. Such a thing is made possible by the fact that the “Heart of Maryland,” the scenes of which are placed in the time of the civil war in thia country, can now draw audiences of southern or northern people who will pay their money to see a perfor- I mance that is untrue and unwholesome in everything but the moral .which is the 1 common one that teaches the inevitable | end of the traitor and the scoundrel. The saving feature of the "Heart of . Maryland” is that it pays a compliment to the southern woman. It throws the southern girl—the gentlewoman,the hero ine, in strong contrast, to the man who, wearing the uniform of the southern sol dier and officer, is as base, as treacherous and as brutal as the most unwholesome mind could wish . It is true that the man is not of southern birth, but we find the , traitor in the southern grey and honored I with a position of trust in the army of the | Confederacy. We find southern soldiers who stand by and see him cruel, gross and insulting to a woman and we find a south ern officer aiding 'him in his meanest and most treacherous act of all, when he wrings a confession from the half crazed heroine and makes the officer write the words in black and white to be used to her degradation. No officer of the north or south would have, even at the cost of his life, been guilty of the deed and no such impossible situation should be con ceived. I The whole play is unwholesome. It is I full of morbid situations, of misery and of the most extreme pain. "Lamenration, mourning and woe” properly describe the first three acts of the play and the brief sunshine in the fourth is not sufficient to dispel the gloom. The play leaves a bad taste in the mouth. It is the story of a northern hero and a southern heroine, i both of them good and both of them im possible. Surrounding these are two minor characters on the southern side, anu wearing the Confederate uniform who are mostly bad and some of them r.raiiors and it is to be hoped and must be believed all of them impossible. The situations in the play are strongly sensational, but without a spar* of pleas ure except in the final tableau. 1 lie peo ple who handled the parts la-t night are unfortunately stagey and not real m their acting, with the exception of the heroine, Miss Alma Kruger, who, saving a painful effort at a southern accent, was well up to the tragedy of her part and pleasing in her too infrequent opportunities to display ; a lighter touch. ; For those who want blood and hair and | ■tears and utter wretchedness and who at ■ the same time have no memories and ni j sympathies either for soldiers of the north or the south "The Heart of Maryland furnishes forth three 1 hours of exquisite sensation. But for the mind that is not morbid and not entirely free from kindly sentiment, to say the least of it, for the north or the south, the “Heart of Mary land” will always be a dismal memory of he stage.

President’s Day a Holliday-Children to be | Ih Reviewed. ■ —— The Beard of Education held its regu lar meeting ait the office of the superin- ■ tendent last night: Ten members were ■ present.

DECEMBER 13 Aguinaldo Arrive*. Aguinaldo jumped quickly out of his carriage as it stopped at the convent door —slight of stature, lithe and agile, a very military figure in his new khaki uniform and white helmet. He skipped nimbly up stairs and presently, with some of his councilors, appeared at the window The crowd that had cheered a little when he came in gave another shout at this sight of him, and then one of the councilors spoke. The speech was in Tagalog, and it wa<= full of nice things about the people, their loyalty to and suffering for the cause, the achievements they had won, the glory that would be theirs, the greatness of their leader and his devotion to their common cause It wound up with a call for vivas for Aguinaldo and liberty, and then 1 heard how Filipinos can yell They would make a notable impression on a football field. The crowd, which had listened with ab solute silence, turned itself loose at. the word and tilled the air with its shouts There was a response from one of the local dignitaries standing in the crowd. Then Aguinaldo disappeared from the window tho bands played the Filipino national air and the groat home coining of the king was over.—Oscar King Davis in Harper’s Weekly., The Xavnl Officer. The proposed personnel bill recognizes the necessity which is obvious today, and which will grow more so in the future, that the naval officer should be an engineer as well as be proficient in ordnance and in navigation and in tho other duties inci dental to command. When ono realizes that from a fourth to a half of the crew of our ships is in the engineering department, one appreciates how important it is that the commanding officer should widen his curriculum of study and understand the tools and tho machines and the power which run them and Yun the ship, so as to make, himself indeed an officer worthy to command. Ono of our prominent captains in the navy said substantially, not long ago, that if he had any timidity and fear when in command of a great battleship it arose from his ignorance as to what might occur in the engine room when he had given his signal from above.—Hon. George Edmund Foss, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Personnel of the House Naval Committee, in North American Review CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.
