Detailed Story of the Plan of Attack and the , ww Result of the Bombardment by Sampson's Ships. (Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press.) ON BOARD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH BOAT DAUNTLESS, KEY WEST, Fila., May 18.—The Dauntless dis- patch boat of the Associated Press arrived here this morning and brought a detailed account of the bombardment of San Juan de Porto Rico, by a portion of the fleet under the command of Rear Admiral Samp- gon on May 12 last. The American warships sustained only trivial injury and but one man killed. Af- ter the engagement the north end of Morro Castie was in ruins, the Cabras Island forts were silenced and the San Carlos battery Was damaged. No shots were aimed at the city and it 1s not known whether any damage was done there. Spaniards at St. Thomas claim that a@ school house was struck and that the master and his pupils were killed, but this is not thought likely, as the bombardment took place early in the morning and the school] children probably were not in the building at the time. The plans of the fortifications furnished to the fleet were very misleading. It was kn‘wn that the Spanish forts had recently bien strengthened with new guns; but ©.her facts developed which showed miscal- culations by those who drew the plans. Refugees in St. Thomas told the corres- pondents who touched there after the en- gagement that the Spaniards thought the forts at San Juan were stronger than those of Havana. The United States fleet left Key West on May 3 to “intercept and destroy’’§ the Spanish fleet, which had left the Cape | Verde Islands. This was the only informa- |! tion the United States Navy Department and Admira! Sampson had on the subject. Our warships proceeded slowly eastwari, _ and on ‘(May 8 were off Cape Haytien. At- | tempts were there made to obtain informa- tion regarding the whereabouts of the Span- ' fards, but no definite knowledge was ‘ob- tained. Early on the morning of May 12 Admiral Sampson's ships approached San Juan, the American Consul at Capt Haytien having informed the Admiral] that he had heard a report that 18 Spanish ships had been seen heading for Porto Rico. The city of San Juan is situated in a long marrow pocket. A tongue of high land eeparates it from the ocean, The entrance to the harbor is easily defended and the! Same can be said of the headlands of Cabras Island, which lies in the throat of) the sage. These headlands have been | fortified by the Spaniards, but they did not prove in any way dangerous to our war- ships. The town of San Juan is on one! side of the bay and in the rear of the town rise high hills. To reach the city ships must pass the Morro Castle fortifications and the battery of San Carlos, situated on a poomaneer? at the east entrance of the harbor, des they must pass the Can- uelo Batte on Cabras Island. The attack on the forts was so planned that our warships could be in a position to meet the bh youre should = they emerge from vthe barbo The following is the ‘official plan of ac- tion issued to the American fleet: “The squadron will pass near Salinas oint, and then steer about east, to pass us. outside the reefs off Cabras Islaryls. column is to 2 formed ag follows: I ip; Indiana, New York, rror.

While approaching, a sharp lookout is to be kept on the coast between Salinas Point and Cabras Island for torpedo boat destroyers. When near Cabras Isiand, one-half mile to one mile. the Detroit will rapidly cross the mouth of the harbor and be close under Morro to the westward, screened from the fire of Morro’s western battery. If the old guns on the north side of Morro fire, she is to silence them. These two cruisers are to keep on the lookout especially for Span- ish torpedo boat destroyers coming out of the harbor. “The Porter, when the action begins, = cross the harbor mouth behind the Iow and close under the cliff to the eastward of te Detroit and torpedo any Span:sh cruiser trying to get out of the harbor, but she is not to attack destroyers. “The Wamputuck will tow one of her boats with its mast shipped, flying a red flag and having a boat's anchor on board the tug 80 arranged that she can stop the boat and anchor at the same time. She is to anchor the boat in about 10 fathoms with Canuelo and the western end of Cabras Island in range, There will be points of at- tack, the batteries on Morro Castle and the men of war. If it is clear that Spanish ves- sels aré lying in port, fire is to be opened upon them as soon as they are discernible over Cabras Island. The motions of the flag- ship will be followed in this regard. If it should become evident, however, that neu- tral men-of-war are in the line of fire, a flag of truce will probably be sent in before the vessels are opened. The Porter is to hold herself in readiness for this service. “Care must be taken to avoid striking the “necessary to silence the Morro batteries, a portion of the fire witl be directed with ' this object.

Should this plan be changed, and it be decided to hold the ships in front of the entrance, the signal ‘stop’ will be made at the proper time. “The Indiana.

Should the at- tempt be made at nighi, e searchlights in use are to be turned on her bridge and conning tower and are to be held there.’ The fleet assembled off San Juan about 3 o'clock on Thursday last and prepared for battle, stripping the decks and getting the una, amenunition and appliances for hand- ing the weunted ready Rear Admiral Sampson had transferred hospitals on Cabras Island.

WASHINCTON, May 18.—Secretary. Long this afternoon said: ‘“‘It can be stated positively and officially that the Oregon is safe, but it can- not properly be told where sheis.” ~ — WASHINGTON, May 17.—Naval officers seerh to be assured of the safety of the battleship Oregon, and there is reason to’ believe that the department was informed to-day that she had joined Sampson’s fleet, though no official admission on this point has yet been made. It is believed that the big battleship left Bahia on the night of the 10th or the morning of the llth. The same average speed on the way made around Cape Horn would place her in the Windward Passage, off Hayti, to-day. If this belief is well founded, the department will be relieved of a great load of apprehension, and it will be able to proceed at once.to the prosecution of a plan of campaign that was very desirable, but impossible of execution so long as the safety of ‘he Oregon was at stake. There has been no meeting yet between the hostile fleets. That is all that could be learned at the Navy Department. The report that the Spanish fleet has put into San Juan is neither affirmed nor denied at the department. By this time Schley should be somewhere off the coast of Cuba. Naval officers are hoping that the Spanish squadron has really passed through the Straits of Yucatan into the Gulf of Mexico, for in that case there is a reasonable expectation that by combined action on the part of Sampson and Schley, one starting at the Windward Passage and the Florida Straits and the other around the south of Cuba and coming into the Yucatan Straits, the Spaniards will be effectually snared. -The officers of the department are unable to account for the reports coming froin several ports in the Gulf and the waters in the vicinity of Hayti that there was heavy cannonading Sunday in that vicinity, for there is no report yet of an action and no American “ee are known to have been in the localities named. PORT AU PRINCE, Hayti, May 18.—Nothing is known here of the report from Port Plata, San Domingo, to the effect that the Spanish Cape Verde fleet, commanded by Admiral Cervera, has arrived at Porto Rico. The latest news which reached Port au Prince concerning the Spanish warships simply confirmed the report that they left Curacoa, Dutch West Indies, on Sunday afternoon last for an unknown destination, after having taken on hoard coal and provisions. AMERICAN LANDING PARTY DRIVEN BACK. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright by the Press Publighiag Company, *1898. LONDON May 18.—It is reported here that an American landing party failed to gct ashore at Caibarien yesterday. The little gunboats Herman Cortes, Valiente Canto and Intrepida, with land forces, are said to have deriven the Americans back. Nething is said about the damage done either the Americans or the Spaniards, Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright by the Press Publishing Company, 1898. MADRID. May 18.—Gen. Blanco reports another ,vistory over-an American landing party. He does not estimate the loss to the Yankees, but the victory is said to have been very gratifying. The “battle,” as Blanco terms it, occurred off Caibarien. The Americans were trying to land, but were beaten back, CUBA TO BE INVADED BY 100,000 MEN AT ONCE, WASHINGTON, May 18.—‘‘Cuba is to be invaded at once by an army 100,000 strong. “Secretary Alger and Gen. Miles have had a serious quarrel, and Gen. Brooke may be sent to Cuba at the head of the These are the two War Department sensations this morning. It is intimated that the latter may become a scandal. Gen. Merritt's flyer yesterday has brought him no further harm than to compel him to deny an interview. The news that Cuba is to be immediately invaded comes as a surprise to navy officers, who have understood that nothing would be done until the Spanish fleet was destroyed. The President is determined, so the story goes, not to waste any more time. Secretary Alger is said to be fully in accord with the President and is more than anxious to begin operations on the island at once. Within ten days an army of regulars and volunteers of’ such strength as can be mustered may be seen moving toward Secretary Alger is of the belief that there will be enough war ships available to escort and aid in landing the troops. The number of men in the invading army will be increased to 100,000. his decision was reached at a Cabinet meeting at which Secretary Alger submitted the reports of Lieut. Rowan, Capt. Dorst and those from the Post-Dispatch’s commission, outlining the opinion of the Cuban Generals. Orders were sent to the fleet yesterday to demolish every battery on the Cuban coast when opportunity afforded a chance, but nor*to molest Havana. This citadel will be left for the final victory.

His fleet consists of the powerful monitors Puritan and Miantonomah, the cruisers Cincinnati and Helena, the auxiliary cruiser St. Paul, the torpedo boats Ericsson, Dupont, Foote and Cushing and the gunboats Bancroft, Hamilton, Dolphin, Morrill, Eagle, Hawk and Wasp. It is admitted that there has been a clash between the head of the army and the administration from the start, and that Gen. Miles has stood out alone in his contentions. This, it is said, may operate to his detriment and result in placing another Gen. J. R. Brooke is mentioned. Appointment of Brooke would really leave the present commanding General in a subor- dinate position. Those familiar with the inside facts are looking for some startling announcement affecting the army at date. THE CHARLESTON SAILS FOR MANILA. VALLEJO, Cal, May 18.—The cruiser Charleston got under way for Manila shortly after 10 o'clock this ome, Salutes were fired at Mare Island Navy Yard and the employes of the yard and citizens of Vallejo who were assembled alon the shore vigorously cheered the departing vessel. The compasses of the Charleston will be adjusted as she proceeds down the bay and no stop will be made at San Francisco.

HAWARDEN, May 18.—A bulletin issued at 5:30 this afternoon said Mr. Glad stone’s strength was gradually failing, but that possibly he would linger for @ few hours. HAWARDEN, May 18.—At 10 o'clock this morning Gladstone was still in @ comatose condition, apparently hovering on the brink of death. It was only by the feeble beating of his pulse it could be told that he was stil] alive. All night long a weary vigil was maintained. The whole family was in the sick room. Mrs. Gladstone remained throughout the night at the bedside of her dying huge band. She could not be induced to leave him even to take refreshments. The scene at about 4 o'clock this morning, when it was supposed Mr. Glad- stone’s last hour had come, was most painful. He again showed his almost supeg- human vitality, fought death away and relapsed into sleep. It is believed, however, that very few hours will see the end. 1:20 p. m.—The temporary improvement in Mr. Gladstone's condition has nee continued. He is again very prostrate and is still unconscious. During the crisis at 4 o'clock this morning Mr. Gladstone's breathing was 36 t the minute and the members of his family were summoned. Rev. Stephen Gladstone read prayers and hymns, including Mr. Gladstone's favorite “Rock of Ages.” When. this was concluded Mr. Gladstone was heard to murmur, “Our Father.” The weather is beautiful and the window of Mr. Gladstone's room is open, Dr. Dobie in an interview this afternoon said: “Mrs. Gladstone does not leave the bedside where she sits holding Mr. Gladstone's hand. Although extremely dig- tressed she is bearing up with considerable fortitude. His attendants keep his lips moist with spirits and water at intervals. He will prob- ably die peacefully during slumber. “Mr. Gladstone's strength has been sustained in great measure by his extra- ordinary constitution. Most of his internal organs are pericctly healthy."

The grand jury failed to return indictments against any of them, For two weeks past the grand jury has been pyobing the methods by which one of ost gigantic franchise steals ever per- in St. Louis was successfully nd passed over the Mayor's veto by a vote of % in the House of Delegates and 9 in the Council. : The history of the Central Traction %n- iquity Is of too recent notoriety to need recapitulation further than that it is a franchise whereby 100 miles of the city’s streets are given to a syndicate for a nom- inal consideration to the city and that the prime objects of the franchise are twofold: First speculative and to exact tribute from existing roads, and second if it can be ac- complished to consolidate all the roads un- der one management and place the city at the mercy of a colossal syndicate. It had taken years to pass the bill and not until the present Assembly could mem- bers be had pliable enough to the influences of the franchise speculators to pass the measure hy a two-thirds vote. The present bill in as many forms was vetoed three times by the Mayor, who bluntly denounced it as one ci the worst and most baneful ordinances ever designed against the city’s welfare. It was not a question in City Hall cir- cles as to the fact that the bill was passed by the corrupt use of money, but only as to how much it took to subsidize the .e- quired votes. This was variously estimated at from $100,000 to $250,000, and that one member of the Council received $50,000 for the decisive vote in that body. The charges ““Were sO open, so plain, that the grand jury could not refuse to investigate them, es- pecially as it was dtrected to do so by a charge from the court, but a charge eo framed as to confuse the jurors as to their coere, in the pote © elpe The court A e extraordinar roposition that the jurors should not fetarn’ indict- ments @xcept upon indisputable proof, and upon Which the jurors felt convinced be- yond every reasonable doubt.

It is further alleged that upon the prisoners were found revolvers, cartridges, interesting documents and a camera. Advices received here confirm the report that Mr. Freeman Halstead, the American newspaper corre- spondent arrested at San Juan de Porto Rico, was taken into custody while in the act of taking photographs of the fortifications.

Consul Sardaneta received a letter from President Diaz Wednesday notifying him of the party’s departure. The Consul will probably arrange a reception at one of the hotels or clubs, where the visitors may meet St. Louis business men. W. OF THE W. ARE BARRED > Their License to Do an Insurance Busi- ness in Missouri Is Revoked. ioe Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., May 18.—Su- perintendent of Insurance Orear has re- voked the license for 1898 of the Woodman of the Worid of Omaha, Neb., to do ; fraternal and beneficial insurance business in Missouri for violating Section 1 of the fraternal law, thaiuls, because the associa- tiem is -not-operating under a representative form of government. Near the ciose of last year the association was licefised to do business in Missouri and at the same time notified of the objectionable point in its constitution and by laws, Which it has so far refused to amend. Theimain objection is that under the constfitutian and by laws the office of president of the association is so hedged in that the president virtually has all power and hoids the office for life. The license was refused on the opinion of Attorney-General Crow, who sustained the objection of the Superintendent of In- surance. The association ts likely to institute man- damus proceedings in the Supreme Court to compe: the Imsurance Department to grant them a license to do business in Mis- sourl. At jeast announcement was mawe to that effect from the department this morning. MISSIONARY’S NARROW ESCAPE. She Was Surroundei by Murderous Natives When Rescued. LONDON.

In it he said he nt more than $15,000 last year in advertis ng alone. To prove Mr. Field’s suit for an Injune- tion was actuated by business alone, let- ters were produced from theatrical man- agers in all parts of the country. They threatened to cancel next season's contracts if he played at a garden where no admis- sion was charged. Manager Gumpertz of the Suburban Gar- den says he will sue Fields for slander as a result of the suit for an injunction. Mr. Gumpertz says he did not act in an un- professional or dishonest manner in using Mr. Fields’ name on hig bills, as a recom- mendation for certain attractions offered. He says he has a mass of correspondence from persons on the vaudeville stage in which he is authorized by the writers to use the names of their last employes on his bills. This was the reason for the use of Mr. Fields’ name. He says he has all the best features of Mr. Fields’ company of last season, and had a right to advertise them as auch. He will, he says, through his attorney, P. Taylor 3ryan, immediately file a suit against Mr. Fields, asking damages for slander.

Rivera, daughter of Ma- riano Rivera of tne State Bank, and former- ly Span’sh Consul! in St. Louis, and Ross Snow wll be married at 4 o’clock Wednes- day afternoon at St. Teresa’s Church. Both have been for the last two scasone members of the various Klaw & Erlanger attractions. They were at the Olympic Theater in March, when “Jack and the Beanstalk’’ was playing that house, The wedding will be a quiet one. The bride’s sister, Amandite---wtll be bride- maid and only immediate friends of the family will be present. Mr. and Mrs. Snow will leave for a Northern trip shortly after the ceremony and will then go to San Francisco, where they will make their debut in vaudeville. At the beginning of the regular season, however, they will again go out with one of the Klaw & Erlanger shows, having been engaged to create parts in a new production. Miss Rivera is a St. Louis girl by birth and despite her Spanish blood is intensely loyal to the stars and stripes. She made her first public appearance four years ago this summer at Uhrig's Cave, the first opera in which she had a part being “Dorothy.” Later she was with Eddie Foy in his ill- fated ‘‘Little Robinson Crusoe,” and the following season she joined the company with which she played as one of the “Eight Little Maids’’ last season. Mr. Snow is a character artist of ability, although better known, until the last three years, in the West than in the East. His tramp specialty was one of the first given the public and his King of Spain in ‘'1492’’ will be remembered by theater-goers. Last season he played the Fairy Queen, a bur- lesque part, in ‘Jack and the Beanstock.”’ THE NEW BATTLESHIP ALABAMA LAUNCHED. = = wr Its Design Is in Striking Contrast to That of Its Future Companions, but It Is Believed to Be Their Superior. ° > ship Alabama was successfully launched at Cramp’s shipyard at 12:50 to-day. The Alabama is the first to be launched | of the three new battleships of her type, the | other two being the Illinois and Wisconsin. She presents marked'divergencies of design from the first three, the Oregon, Indiana) and Massachusetts. These differences in- volve both the arrangement of the battery and the disposition the armor as well as a considerable increase in s:ze and dis- placement. ; 4 The first type had the armor arranged in a water line pelt and casemate amidships, with the ends forward and aft of the belt protected by submerged armored decks and their batteries were mounted as follows: Four 13-inch guns in two turrets, eight 8- inch guns in four turrets, one at each corner of the superstructure, and four 6-inch guns mounted at the corners of the casemate below the superstructure. In the Alabama the water-line armor is carried clear forward; the protective deck instead of being submerged, as in former ships, is raised to the level of the belt, by slopes at each side, the same as in pro- tected cruisers. The 8-inch guns on tie Indiana type are done away with entirely, the main battery of the Alabama type con- sisting of four 18-inch guns in turrets and 14 6-inch rapid-firing guns, of which 10 are mounted on the gun deck, eight in broad- side between the turrets and two firing straight ahead forward of the fore turret on the gun deck. Four are mounted in a small redoubt’on the casemate deck, two on each side. The broadside 6-inch guns, instead of being mounted in projecting sponsons, are mounted in recess porte in order to secure extensive train forward and abaft the beam. The general dimensions of the Alabama class are as follows: ‘ Length over all 374 feet, breadth 72 feet; freeboard forward 2 feet, freeboard abaft the after turret 13 feet, 4 inches; draught 23 feet, 6 inches: displacement 11,520 tons, The guaranteed speed is to be 16 knots and the estimated horse power 10,000, The main batterw has already been de- scribed. The seconda battery consists of 17 6-pounder rapid-fire guns; six one- pounder rapid-fire guns and four Gatlings. | PHILADELPHIA, ‘May 18.—The eed The arrangement of the boilers in the Alabama class differs from that in the Indiana in being eight single-ended boilers instead of four double-enders, and in be- ing placed athwart ships with a fore and aft fire-room instead of longitudinal with _athwart ships fire-rooms as in the former ciass. Examinations of the plang of the Ala- bama as compared with those of the earlier | Ships will show that the departures in the details of construction are in the direction of simplicity and also the reduction of the number of different calibers of ammuni- tion required to be carried on board. the effective weight of fire in various positions remaining substantially the same. Dis- pensing with the eight-inch turrets also considerably reduces the weights to be car- ried high above the water, which it is be- lieved will be an advantage in a heavy seaway. On the whole, the armament, armor and speed of the Alabama with a displacement of 11.500 tons compares favorably with the latest type of battleships abroad with a displacement of 15,000 tons. The maximum thickness of armor on the water line is 16% inches, tapering to $13 inches at the bottom of the belt. The case- mate armor is 5% inches thick and the Superstructure armor is of the same thick- ness. The armor of the 18-inch gun turrets is 15 inches thick except the porthole plate, which is 17 inches. The armor of the bar- bettes on. which the turrets rest is 15 inches thick. The thickness of the protectiva deck armor on the flat over the citadel amidships and also forward and after is 2% inches, and the thickness of the slopes forward and aft of the amidships citadel is 4 inches. The conning tower is cylindrical and 10 inches thick. The total weight of armor and ‘bolts is 2720 tons and of the protective deck armor 593 tons. The weight of arma- ment with normal supply of ammunition, which is two-thirds of the full war supply, is 864 tons. The builders say the construction of the Alabama has been delayed over a year by the failure of the last Congress to provide the necessary armor. Had prompt provi- sion been made for the manufacture of the armor, the Alabama would at this tiene, instead of being launched, be fitting out for service.

Mrs. Pim’s Claim Beirg Heard in Act- ing Judge McKee’s Court and Mrs. Pim’s Divorce Case Is Be- fore Judge Withrow. What with divorce cases, damage Sulta, insurance suits and contests over land ti- tles, the women have taken up a greater part of the time of several of the Circuit Court Judges since Monday. In courtroom No. 2, presided over by Judge John A. Talty, Annie Irish and her troubles have held three days’ sittings back, and have kept the court, a special jury and a group of prominent lawyers and expert physicians busy all the time, The case at first did not appear to be a difficult one to try. The plaintiff is a young woman who was at one time employ- ed at the Academy of the Visitation, at Cabanne and Belt avenus. She had occa- sion one day to go into the cloak room on the second floor. She entered by one door and went out hy another. The one she went out of unfortunately for her led to the elevator shaft. Miss Irish fell down the shaft and in- jured herself seriously. Then ghe why > suit for damages in the sum of $10,000. Her attorney, Judge Thomas B. Harvey, is opposed by Attorney R. Graham Frost and O'Neill Ryan. Across the side of the courtroom, next to the Sheriff's desk, six or eight black robed nuns have remained quietly seated during the entire trial. They have been interested listeners throughout, as the proceedings are somewhat etrange to them and they are not accustomed to hear lawyers dispute and contest every little point of evidence and fact developed in the trial. Some times when the arguments between the attorneys grow somewhat warm there is a perceptible flutter among the black robes and some of them loonene if they would like to be under the quiet shelter of the convent roof. The testimony in the case has taken a wide range and if the plaintiff recovers any damage at all she will have some slight so- lace for the hard time she had on the stand as a witness. What her health was before it happened, what it is now, what it might have been and what it should have been, with a thousand other questions have been put to her. The expert surgeons and neu- rologists are now at work giving deep tech- nical opinions as to just what effect certain shocks would have upon certain kinds of nerves under a certain set of circumstances. Unless the experts hurry Judge Talty will not be able to adjourn for the summer vaca- tion until about the middle of June. In Court Room No, 1, Judge Klein's Court, and Division No. 5, presided over by Judge McKee, during the temporary ab- sence of Judge Valliant, the affairs of Mrs. Celestine Pim and the city are taking up a deal of time and attention. Mrs. Pim claims a half interest In a block of ground on the river front between Trudeau street and Russell avenue, This she inherited from her father, James Bra- zeau, who held the land along with a lot of other property under an old grant. The city claims to have taken possession of it in 1810 with the consent of the owner. The land then was not as it is now. A number of islands lay in the river op- osite the city, among which were Bloody sland, Hangman’s Island, Arsenal Island and Duncan’s Island. The latter was only separated from the Missouri shore by a slough which sometimes went dry, and the island became a part of the west shore. Under the pK inaugurated by Robert E. Lee this isfand was gradually washed away and the Missouri bank raised and improved by the city. From 1858 until 1888 the city claims to have been in open and unopposed possession of the _ property. Wharves were built and the land leased to various tenants without protest from the Brazeau heirs. ; Since 1888 three suite have been fought through the Supreme Courts and all won by the city. There is another sult now pending in courtroom No. 1. The city is trying to stop it by injunction. Associate City Counselor Charles Clafi_tn Allen has 4, ery to Judge McKee to pro- hibit the plaintiff from going ahead with the case, but Judge McKee is not disposed to interfere with the jurisdiction of Judge Klein, who hae the case to try. The city claims that in previous suits it has clearly established its title to the land and ought to be let alone, but has not a« yet been able to make the courts see it that way. In Judge Woods’ court the Insurance case of Christina Deuchert — the Supreme Lodge, United Order of Hope, has been on trial since Monday morning. The aetory of Christfan Deuchert, whose Insurance is in controversy, reaches across the ocean into the Grand Duchy of Hesse. Christian Deuchert was a member of the Order of Hope here. When he died his wife tried to coHNect his insurance of $00. The company refused on double grounds, first, that Deuchert had made false representa- tions as to his age by saying he was under 60 years of age, when in reality he was over that age, and second, that Christina Deu- chert wae not his wife, but that his real wife was in Germany, where he had deserted her years ago. Then the whole life of Deuchert was probed into. It was claimed by the defense that Deuchert was a Burgomaster in the old country, and as such held many trusts of various kind¢e, among which were the es- tates of minor children. These, it Is claim- ed, he lost or dissipated, and when about to be apprehended and punished he es- caped to America, where he took up hie residence and married the woman who is the plaintiff in this sult. In Judge Klein's Court, Attorney Al)- theimer who ts a staff officer at the Bar- racks, was upon a three days’ furlough be- cause his brother's wife wanted a divorce. Mr. and Mrs. Altheimer are well known in Jewish society, and much gossip was created when the divorce sult of Ophelia Altheimer, formerly Scharff, against Ulys- ses Altheimer was filed. Col. Altheimer, the attorney, is a brother of the defendant in @ime case, andehas laid aside his military duties long enough to ap- pear in court and defend the suit. In Judge Withrow's court the eit of Mra. Lillian H. Perte against Andrew H. Perte was set for trial, but was laid over until] 3 o'clock Wednesday. Mre. Perle is a daughter of the late O. D.

The decision of United States District Attorney Rozier to take no action lvoking té the punishment of the roughs who assaulted Mr. James at Jefferson Barracks is unsatisfactory. Mr. Rozier says that in time of war the offenses committed by soldiers fall }.nder the jurisdiction of the military authori- ties. But this offense was not committed by United States soldiers. It was committed by civilians waiting in camp to enlist in the United States army. It was committed before they were mustered into the army. Does Mr. Rozier mean to say that because these men intended to enlist in the United States army they were therefore free from the jurisdiction of any civil court, not yet being under the jurisdiction of the military authorities? Were these men wholly outside of the pale of law? If there is a hiatus, says Mr. Rozier, Congress is responsible for it. But was there a hiatus? Suppose that instead of merely breaking Mr. James’ arm and inflicting other injuries upon him, these roughs had killed Mr. James? Would there have been a hiatus in the jurisdiction of authority, civil and military ? they were in caminp cn United States property waiting to en- ! dinary sojer. Can a man evade punish- | list in the United States army? ment for crime by enlisting in the army? If these men had been enlisted soldiers, there would have been no question of their punishment. They would have been severely punished. Not being enlisted soldiers, they must have been amenable to civil process, and it was at least the duty of the civil authorities to make a demand upon the military authorities and let them determine whether or not they had the power to stop the punishment of crime on a gov- ernment reservation by the civil courts. This would at least have settled the question of a hiatus. Under Mr. Rozier’s decision justice is completely defeated. _ oe Gen. Blanco’s good sense in not treating the Post-Dispatch and World correspondents as spies is evidence that he at least has not been crazed while so many of his countrymen have raged. The recognition of newspaper men and the importance of their work 1s as sure a sign of civilization as a church.

ODD PARTY FROM OKLAHOMA. — Valuable Tracts of Ground on the Out- skirts of Chicago Claimed ' by Them. Mr. and Mrs. John McKinney of Golden, O.

Their errand at the nation’s capital is to lay be- fore the Secretary of the Interior their claim to certain tracts of land on the out- skirts of Chicago. The value of the ground amounts to hune dreds of thousands of dollars, and Mr. Me- Kinney says he is confident of winning the fight, in which he and the Indian are mutually concerned, under unusually ro- mantic conditions. “The land near Chicago was occupied tn the early part of the century by the Pottawotomle tribe, under the chieftancy of Unachgo,”’ said Mr. “McKinney to a Post- Dispatch reporter at Union Station. “The Indians were so harassed by the white set« tlers that they were forced to leave, and they settled on what is now the site of Council Bluffs, lo. ‘Unachao was an Indian of great wisdom, and before he brought nis peop.e away from Illinois he drew up a compromise treaty with the United States Government where- by he was to rétaffi OWnrership in the land he was vacating. - ‘“‘My father was a farmer's boy in lowa, and when the Indians settled there he made friends with the redskins.

For the last two nights Morro Castle light, which has not been burning since the blockade com- menced, has blazed a red signal to guide the Spanish warships into the harbor. Some information regarding the movements of the fleet has reached Gen. Blanco. This information must have come from Madrid, for news of the sighting of the Cape Verde fleet off the coast of Venezuela could s-arcely have penetrated Havana by last Sunday, yet on that day Gen. Blanco caused it to be officially announced to his soldiers and the people of Havana that a powerful fleet, with reinforcements and supplies, had eluded the American fleet and was approaching. | This news was brought by a Cuban scout picked up in a rowboat near Cojimar information to the blockading squadron under cover of darkness and then returned to land. Gen. Blanco evidently expects the Spanish fleet to round the western end of the harbor and to enter Havana in the night, there to land supplies and troops and pre- pare for the battle with the blockading squadron.

Bernabe, the former Spanish Minister in Washington, may find-it convenient in a few days to make a hasty departure from Canada for Spain. If Senor Polo does not go soon of his own accord Canadian officials will peshaps find it expedient to execute the plans which have been adopted by Secretary Day and Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British Ambassador. The British Ambassador has informed the State Department that an investigation of the ex-Spanish Minister was already under way. If it is found that Spaniards have been conducting business detrimental and hostile to America, Polo and his whole crowd will be landed upon the next vessel bound for Spain. Secretary Day believes that when Polo learns that his actions are being investigated he will find it convenient to immediately depart for Spain.

We were kids in the eague, and the Brotherhood players threw an Arctic frown at us wherever we met, Marly that season we met Hank O'Day in Cleveland, and he actually re- eases to break bread over the same ma- ogany with us.’’~Washington Post. “Kilroy, pitcher.”” This brief legend car- ries one back to what Tim Donahue would enall “‘halycon davys,”’ and revives memories of the times when southpaw pitchers were the rage, and Ramsey was king of the box. Kilroy on Monday made his re-entry into pitching circles, and won his game from the etrong Clevelands. All that Patsy and his brave crew succeeded in getting was a total of eight hits. It is true that the Chicagoese fell upon Cyrogenious Young even as the Almighty fell upon the Assyrians, but the fact remains that Mattie got away with his first game. : Little Ballplayers.

In- ad of taking one easy strides he pounds 9@ track like a p driver and seems to strain himself at every jump.

Tommy Ryan Will Be in the Akron Boy’s Corner, While Frank Erne Will Second the Kid. Jim Corbett passed through Chicago on Monday. He said he was going East to arrange for a mill with Fitzsimmons, and failing to get on he was going to meet either Jeffries or the winner of the Ruhlin-MecCoy fight. George Considine, the Detroit sport, went to Chicago with $25,000 to back Corbett ina fight with Fitz. But as soon as’ he saw Corbett he ceased talking about having plenty of money to put up, and, in faet, said that his previous statements to that effect were meant as a joke, all of which is mak- ing people wonder if James J. is panting to get a chanee at Fitz. The Jatter certainly has made an offer, and if Corbett wants to meet him there ought to be no trouble in ar- ranging the matter. Corbe:t said in his taik: “Il mean business. I want to fight Fitz- simmons, and I will fight him if there is such a thing possible. He has come out with the announcement that he would meet both me and McCoy. I don’t care whether he meets McCoy or not, but I do want him to get into the ring with me. “If he does not want to fight I ghall chal- lenge Jeffr.es and the winner of the McCoy- Ruhlin battle, May 20. The field has nar- rowed down a great deal in the past year. Sharkey and Maher are both out of the race, and there remains but big Jim Jeffries and the winner of the McCoy-Ruhlin go. I shall be at the ringside when the latter men meet, and I shall try to get on with the win- ner. Then there is Jeffries. If I win with these men the thing is done, and Mr. Fitz- simmons is outdone.” That Corbett never meant to give Fitz anything like $25,000 to meet him and that that announcement was a great big bluff was proven when Corbett on ‘Monday said: “My offer of $33,000 to Fitz if he would meet me is off. I wouldn’t pay him 30 cents now. The field has narrowed down to the point where he has got to fight to keep, not only in the business, but in bread and butter.”’ All is now in complete readiness for the fight set for Syracuse, New York, Friday night and in which Kid McCoy and Gus Ruhlin are to be the contestants. McCoy will be seconded by Frank Erne, Frank Ziapper, Doc Payne and Con Riley. Ru@lin’s seconds -wiil be Tommy Ryan, Charley Goff and Billy Madden, Both men are in fine cond.tion, but Mad- den refuses to make public the exact weizht of Ruhlin. He only says that Ruhlin will weigh 15 pounds more than ‘McCoy, but when it comes to figures he is mum. “If the public want to know that,’”’ he é6éavs; “I am willing that Ruhlin should weigh in with McCoy before a committee of newspaper men, and I am willing to bet considerable money that Gus isn’t 29 pounds heavier than the Kid.” The truth of the matter is that Ruhlin weighs something more than 19 pounds. He is in perfect condition, This morning he ran 10 miles on the road and camein with the perspiration pouring off his face, but other- wise unaffected. He can stand a long, bruis- ing fight beyond a question. Madden has trained shim for a series of ‘‘mix ups.”’ as being his only chance of offsetting McC y's cleverness, and that is the kind of a fight it will undoubtedly be. All the fighters have had something to or, eens the defeat of Maher by God- dard. McCoy said: “I guess old Barrier Joe has still got a goo om in him. If I win from Ruhlin I wi)l be willing to give yoddard the next battle, as I owe him a grudge from South Africa, and he well re- members it. So you see that every time Peter gets up against a man who knows as much about the game as himself he don’t make the showing he does against marks. Now, if I can’t beat Goddard I will get out of the business; but I am sorry to see Maher go before I had a chance at him. Now, who will Fitzsim- mons substitute? Goddard's winning from Maher is another evidence that I have a hard proposition in Gus Ruhlin, as Ruhlin drew with Jeffries, who easily disposed of Goddard in four rounds.”’ Fitz suid: ‘Maher has not been in con- dition lately, and that accounts for his de- feat. He has been under no restraint lately, and he cannot guide himself in his every- day life. What effect his defeat will have on his proposed fight with Jefferies re- mains to be seen. The defeat ought not to have any effect at all, except in prompting him to take better care of himself. If the contest In ~~ is to go on and Maher ets into his best eqndition his chance of | defeating Jefferies will be gust as good as it ever was. He needs the best of manage- ment, though. I will hold the opinion that Jefferies is not likely to beat a good strong | man, for when a man of the weight and inches of Jefferies fails to deliver a punish- | ing blow he cannot be a world-beater.”’ Corbett said: ‘‘The ordinary patron of the sport will not for a moment think that God- | dard can defeat Maher because of thea knockout Friday night, for there have been lots of instances where inferior men de- feated better fighters in just such fashion. Mace was beaten by King and by Brettle by blows that were just as full of chance as Was the blow of Goddard, and Dempsey was knocked out by LaBlanche by a sim- ilar blow. But we all know that neither King nor Brettle was as good a fighter as Mace and LaBlanche was not the equal of Dempsey.” ' “Parson” Davies is making strenuous ef- forts to secure a six-round contest between Joe Goddard and Peter Maher as a special attraction in his big show at Tatterstall's at Chicago June 2. As an inducement ha has offered the boxers a $2000 purse. John Quinn of Pittsburg has already accepted the proposal tn behalf of Maher, Goddard is yet to be heard from. Sullivan Defeats Kelly. NEW YORK, May 17.—Dave Sullivan, the little Irish pusilist, met Samuel Kelly of this city last night at the Lenox Athletic Club, and after fighting 2% rounds Sullivan was declared winner by Referee Jimmy Dime of Amsterdam, N. Y. The boys were matched | some time ago to fight at 118 pounds, but last night Sullivan was six pounds over weight and had to pay a forfeit of $250. Sul- livan was the favorite in the betting at 100 to 90, but owing to the difference in the | weights of the contestants the announce- ment was made that all bets were off before | the boys began to fight. It was a pretty contest all Repeat. and if it were not for Kelly’s tactics in the latter part of the bout, when he frequently grabbed Sullivan's | arm, the referee's decision might have been a draw. | Maher's ““Dusky’’ Conqueror. One of the Chicago reporters talks about Joe Goddard as Maher's dusky conqueror. | The gentleman has evidently gotten Joe Goddard and Joe Walcott mixed, It Is wonderful that such a thing as this should happen in Chicago, whose sporting writers claim to be the best posted in the world. | Rain at Youngstown.

Ig; "Cherie ; THE HINDOO'S DREAM, | A DAUGHTER OF THE GREAT SON OF LONGFELLOW MAY WIN THE DEBUTANTE. IT WILL BE RUN TO-MORROW. It Will Be the First Fair Asscciation Stake This Year Where Age and Sex Are Considered. The Debutante, the initial stake of the Fair Ground’s book for the current season, which has sex and age restrictions at- tached, will be the racing piece Thursday afternoon. The Debutante is for 2-year-old fillies only. The distance is four and a half furlongs, and the value of the stake to the owner of the winning ‘“‘bud’’ will be $1200. E'ghty-three nominations were or-ginally made to the race. Of this number a dozen bred-in-the-purple youngsters of the gentler sex will-look Starter Kit Chinn in the eye and ‘‘try ouc’’ hia good manners. Katie Gibbons by Buckmaster out of imp. Lady Winston is the most consistent of Thursday’s debutantes so far seen in public. Katie Gibbons is partly owned by Col. Cas- sidy, who has a half interest in What-er- Lod, winner of this year’s Inaugural. More unlikely things have happened than that Col. Cassidy should be a participant in the first two pieces of stake pie nanded out by President Aull, : Katie Gibbons is trained by Frankie Leign, whiie What-er-Lou is in Johnnie Huifman’'s string of 24 thoroughbreds. Hiuffman has Hindoo’s Dream entered for Thursday's big race and the Greenviile horseman is of the opinion that neither Katie Gibbons or any other filly eligibie to start to-morrow can step any faster than Hindoo’s Dream, who as her name would imply, is a daughter of the great Hindoo. Brewer John W. Schorr has Lady Mem- phis all prep’d up for a race, The fiily, nowever, is scarceiy “Schorr” class and will have to earn her oats in less pretén- tious company. O. G. Parks, the Texan’ turfman,: omit- ted to enter the speedy Pearl Barnes in the Debaunte. He may decide 49 let Yo-No-Se, a bay filly by Russell, take a chance at the rich purse and “Quien Sabe’’ she might win. Jim Christy nas a racy looking thorough- bred in Klondyke, by Longstreet. Christy has not had much Juc« these late years, and it would be quite in line with the eternal fit- ness of things for him to lipd his Kilondyke in the Longstreet filly. J. ©, Cahn’s candidate, Clara Fields, is the charming chestnut by Chance, out of imp. FPiaying Fields, which carried off the blue ribbon for yearling thoroughbreds at last year’s great St. Luuis Fair. If Clara Fields were half as speedy as she is good- looking, she would lead the debutantes to the wire to-morrow. At Memphis, however, the flily only showed fair form, and wiil probably he a ‘‘wall flower’’ in the race. There will be several representatives from the ‘dark division’ from the Schreiber, O’Brien, Bernays, Bennett and Young Stables, and a capital contest is assured, Just at present vupiter Pluvius has a good deal to say about the resuits of the racts, and if he decides to keep in the game some speedy daughter of Blazes or some other old “mudder’ may go right out and waltz home. With a return to good weather and fast track conditions, H:ndoo’s Dream will probably outrun katie Gibbons and give ‘John Hufiman his second stake. It looks as though the full list of start- ers in the Debutante would be picked from the following list: H. ‘T. Bacnelor’s Ida Marie, by Bobby Beach—Stella. pe A. ©. Knight—Zella. ; J. D.

Barring more rain, it should be in perfect shape to- day and the racing shoulda be the best of the meeting. T. Burns was given a couple of stirprise parties yesterday. In the fourth race C. Combs allowed ‘thim to run Sligo in the ground, with McAlbert as a running mate, and when the stretch was reached, Combs let go and, coming away, beat Sligo home easily. In the last race Burns had the mount on the heavily-played Trombone, and the latter led all the way to the stretch, when Found came on and cake- walked home. Outside of these two rides Burns did some pretty work in the saddle, landing Henrica and Pirate Judge nicely. The speculation in the rng, for some un- ‘known cause, has been wonderfully light ‘the past two days, but, with good weather and dry track, it will likely improve to- day. Caught on the Fly. The Browns lost another game, Jack Taylor is surely in hard luck. Lost another. Lave Cross played an excellent game at thifd yesterday. Bobby Wallace is again on guard at third base for Cleveland. It ia probable that Cleveland will farm out Sockalexis to the Youngstown Club in the Interstate League.

VICTIMS WOULDN'T PROSECUTE Maggie Raymond and Mamie White Will Each Spend Two Years in the Penitentiary. Maggie Raymond and Mamie White, panel workers, were convicted in Judge Zachritz’s court Wednesday and were given two years penitentiary sentences. This ts the first conviction in cases of this character that was ever obtained in a St. Louis court, though in recent years hun- dreds of men have been made victims of women of this class and many women have stolen fortunes by this method. Ida West, Florence Daly, Mattie Kelley and many others have been arrested times without number, but were never convicted outside of the Police Court. The police waged bitted warfare on the panel workers, but the victims, many oi them being strangers-in the city, refused to remain to prosecute. Citizens would not prosecute for fear of the notoriety it would bring them. The verdict in these cases, will have its effect and Chief Desmond will renew his warfare on the panel dens with fresh vigor. On Feb. 4 Maggie Raymond and Mamie White enticed Mike Canivan into a house at Ninth and Chestnut streets. The Ray- mond woman gave him what the detectives term the “‘strong arm’”’ and the White wom- an went through his pockets and got $*®). When the verdict was read the women did not manifest any feeling. They were well gressed and had not a word to say. They followed the deputy out with a saucy toss of the head and a defiant look in their eves. SALE OF UNION MARKET... The Old Scheme Revived by Resolu- tion, but Is Voted Down. That venerable scheme to sell Union Market and purchase a sjte for a hew market “elsewhere” Pais sits hoary head in the House of Delegates again la*t uignt after a twelve month's Fepose. Speaker Pro-tem Watson who was in the chair on account of Speaker Lloyd's absence is the author of the resolution, ; Mr. Judy objected to t resolution on the ground that» former §City Counselor Marshall had decided that ¥the Union Mar- ket property could not be $oeld. Mr. Watson replied that it would not work any harm to have the opinion of the new City Counselor on the same subject, and if he concurred with Mr. Marshall that would end the matter. ‘Tne resolution was defeated by a vote of 13 to 10. A resolution by Mr. Gutke instructing the Board of Public Improvements to see to it that Missouri instead of Georgia granite be used for all street curbing passed unanimously, Mr. Schumacher’s resolution instructing the Comptroller to purchase new benches for the House lobby and hat the old ones be placed in O'Fallon park was adopted. BREAD WILL NOT BE HIGHER, St. Louis Bakers Decline to Raise the Price as Requested. There will be no increage {n the ‘price of bread in St. Louis, according to present in- tentions. The heads of the four largest bakeries said Wednesday morning they would not raise the cost per loaf. ‘For that matter,’ said one of them, ‘‘the New York bakers had no right to place a higher price on their preduct. Their flour costs them only a few cents more a barrel than it costs us and the fact that wheat is high is no excuse for increasing the price of bread. They are not making so great a profit as they did before wheat went up, but they are making something. The ex- tra cent which they have added will give them a big margin. The $t. Louis bakers are satisfied to charge the regular price and bread will remain at 5 cents a loaf.’’ It is a fact, however, that a few days ago one of the big bakers in this city received a notice that the New York trade would raise prices, and suggested that St. Louis bakers fall in line with the movement. But all the local men declined to increase their rate at present. THE BRIDGE ARBITRARY. Manufacturers’ Association Adopts the Report of Its Traffic Committee. A largely attended meeting of the St. Louis Manufacturers’ Association was held Tuesday night at which the report of the Traffic Committee was read on che steps taken to secure the abolition of the bridge arbitrary. The report was a lengthy one and gave the names of the roads which had agreed to issue. through bills of lad- ing to and from St, Louis. The sense of the report was that the committee had led St. Louis shippers to water, and it only re- mained for them to drink.., J. W. Van Cleaye, Chatrman ~of ~ tire committee, supplemented the report by a speech, urging ‘the merchants to stand to- ether in the fight against the bridge ar- vitrary and victory was assured, President Kingsland, Secretary Tom L. Cannon and Others followed in the same strain, and the report was unanimously adopted. A motion to call a meeting of shipping clerks to enlist them in the work was ee as being inexpedient at this time. YOUNG WIFE KILLS HERSELF.

MILLS & AVERILL, Broadway and Pine. HECKEL STILL OPPOSES IT. Delays Renaming King’s Highway, Hoping to Defeat the Bill. All Councilman George P. Heckel evidently is ambitious to wear the unenviable dis- tinction of being the city official who robbed St. Louis of the honor of being the first city in the country to honor the name of the hero of Manila by naming one of its leading thoroughfares Dewey boulevard. When the joint resolution, which was unanimously passed by the House moré than a week ago, authorizing the Mayor to designate some street to be called Dewey boulevard, came up again Tuesday evening, Heckel carried out his tactics begun last Friday to obstruct and finally defeat the resolution if possible. On his objection the resolution went over until Tuesday evening, and when it was again read he moved that it be referred to the Commit- tee on Public Improvements, which was Gone. Heckel’s action is not only a direct slap at the House, but particularly so to the Mayor, who in reply to the sugges- tion of the Post-Dispatch to thus honor Admiral Dewey, picked out King’s highway as the street whose name should be changed. The Mayor gave as his reason for selecting King’s highway that this was a republican country and St. Louls could well take the lead in blotting from its map every vestige of royalty, and especially as King’s highway had been named in honor of the King of Spain, the avowed enemy of republican Ameriga. he Mayor was delighted with the action of the House is so promptly and unani- mously acting on. the resolution, and he hoped that it would meet with the same ready response from the Council, so that he could sign jt first thing on ‘Dewey Day’ last Saturday; but Heckel, in the role of an obstructionist, dashed this plan, and now he is following it up with tactics in- tended to defeat the Mayor altogether. FELLOWSHIP MASS MEETING. ee Christian Workers of Various Denom- inations Meet on Common Grounds. A “fellowship’’ mass meeting was held at Christ Church Cathedral Tuesday night, presided over by Harrison R. Greg- ory, with L. H. Peck as secretary. The attendance was made up of members of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, Christian Endeavor Union, Epworth Leaguers and Baptist Young People’s Union and the mmovement is designed to bring Christian workers of various denominations into closer touch with each other. The topic of the meeting was “The Lay- man in Church Work,” and under various heads it. was discussed as follows: “His Motive,” by A. B. Ambler of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew; “His Equip- ment,’ by George W. Lubke, Jr., of the Christian Endeavor Societies; “His Re- eponsibility,”” by Mr. Bronough of the Ep- worth League, South; “His Opportunity,” by Edward M. Peabody of the Baptist Young People's Union and “His Reward.” by C. G. Bowman of the Epworth League. CONFUSION OF NAMES. ee ee — Assaulted Man in the Hospital Not John Baumann, Jr. An error crept Into a report In yesterday's Post-Dispatch by which the name of John Baumann, Jr., was published as being at the City Hospital and having been assaulted on the street. Mr. Baumann had nothing whatever to do with the incident, and is & well-known business man, in good heaith, and haa not been assaulted. The mistake was caused by a confusion of ilar names. Young Man Becomes Violently 3 Violentl evening for Chickamauga, The 2d Battalion, in command of Maj. H. Mitchell, will go out at 7:30 o’clock and the 8d Battalion. Maj. Frank E. Williams, will go at 8 o'clock. The Ist Regiment will be supplied with cars early Thursday and expects to get away late that afternoon. Neither Col. Grose of the 3d nor Col. Corby of the 4th has received orders to move. The 5ih will ‘be mustered in by 6 o’clock Wednes- day and Col. Moore will notify Washington that he is ready for orders. The Big: Four and Chesapeake & Ohio railroad will take the first two Missouri Regiments to Camp Thomas. The run to Cincinnati will be made over the Big Four ‘and the trains switched there to the Chesapeake & Ohio road. There were no drills in the 2d Regiment camp Wednesday morning, the time being fully occupied in pr up and signing the duplicate muster rolls. At 1 o’clock, directly after noon mess, camp was broken and the work of moving to the de- pot begun. It wiil take rapid work to get the stuff into the cars by the designated time for Starting, but the men are enthusiastic and ol. Caffee anticipates no delay. The revised roster of field and staff of- ficers of the 2d was given out Wednesday morning as follows: Col. W. K. Caffee, Lieut. Col. H. C. DeMuth, Maj. H. Mitch- ell, Maj. Frank E. Williams, Maj. Latcher Hardeman, First Lieutenant and Adjutant J. M. McMillan, First Lieutenant and Quartermaster A, B. Deutsch, Battalion Adjutants A. V. Adams, Leaf Harding, A. Aloes and Assistant Surgeon Charles Stearns. Maj. Hardeman, as Lieut. Hardeman, U. S. A., will not leave with the regiment, as his duties asx mustering officer have not been concluded. He will join Col. Caffee at Chickamauga. In the lst, every man had orders Wednes- day morning to pack up what he was go- ing to take to the front. Useless clothing. books and the thousand trifles that have found their way into every tent through generous friends were put together and expressed to the homes of the soldiers as relics of Camp Stephens. The elation of the members of the 24 at getting off is fully shared by the Ist, and they went at their hard task witha will. The two regiments are the envy of the rest of the brigade, which is chafing under the delay. Especially impatient are the men of the 3d. Col. Gross has everything in readiness for immediate departure, and anxiously awaits the word. He hoped against hope that he would get orders to move his command with the 1st and 2d, and when no word came Wednesday morn- ing he accepted the situation with all pos- sible grace. While the press dispatches designated nea, opie as the 8d’s ultimate destina- tion, Col. Gross has received nothing of- ficially and does not pretend to guess where he is going. GIRLS GOT ALL THE BUTTONS. Battery A’s Uniforms Suffered on the Trip Across Kentucky. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., May 18.—It was a buttonless, flower-decked crowd of St. Louisans that reached here at 2 o'clock this. morning. The trip across Kentucky Was a disastrous one for the uniforms of the members of Light Battery A, Ist Mis- souri Volunteers. + The news that the St. Louis boys were coming on a special train was telegraphed from station to station, and at each stop- ping place in the Bluegrass State there was a crowd of enthusiastic Southerners to greet the artillerymen. Pretty girls by the score awaited the train everywhere. and as it would come to a stop a chorus of sweet voices would cry out, “Soldier, please give me a button.’’ The request was always accompanied with a bunch of flowers, a small Cuban or American flag, or often a short note urg- ing the soldier to fight well, and to write to the sender when the wgr was over. Pies, cakes and fruit were also given Capt. Rumbold’s men, and such gifts al- ways brought forth a button cut from a travel-stained uniform. At every station the quartette would sing ‘“‘My Old Ken- tucky Home’’ in a manner that never failed to bring great applause. Several times during the day Capt. Rum- bold ordered the men from the train and made them march at double-quick a mile or two up the track for exercise. To-day not a man in the battery is sick. The boys spent the night on the train in the switch:yards. On either eide of the St. Louisans’ train were loads of troops from Indiana and West Virginia. They have both been here for a day and are waiting to be assigned a place tocamp. It is highly probable that ene A will not pitch tents before Thurs- ay. FINE HORSE FOR FR. SHERMAN. Chaplain of the 4th Presented With a Bay Kentucky Thoroughbred. Father T. E. Sherman, chaplain of the 4th, has received a handsome present. from Philip Scanlan of St. Louis in the shape of a Kentucky thoroughbred bay horse, 15 hands high. ‘Prince’ is a beauty and the priest, a genuine lover of horses, can find no words to express his appreciation of the unexpected gift. The leaders of the sodality of the College Church parish have presented the chaplain with a chapel outfit, new vestments and altar clothes. Mrs. Graham Frost and Mrs. Thomas Brent of Se!ma, Mo., donated the chalice and other altar ornaments. COLLEGE BOYS IN THE RANKS. Company I of the 5th Is Composed of Men of Brain and Muscle. The board of examining surgeons finished the 5th Regiment Tuesday evening. The erack company was Company I, the Mis- sourt State University boys, who passed with a better average than any company in the regiment. But two men failed and they were rejected for defective vision. The failing students were R. G. Burroughs of Benton and Charles L. Hunter of Bethany. The other gomanguses call the college boys ‘“‘kids,”’ Dut the record of the exam- ination show that they are not a puny, weakly lot of boys, but a company of trained athletes. Among them is Adair Hill, who has just returned from a baseba in Kansas in which the M.S. ame red. Mr. Hill is uri’s footbali figure played in games with atar, ha the boys for the last four years. -heeded, COL. WILLIAM K. CAFFEE. He is the best all-round and best known athlete in the State. Company I has a full football team and a complete baseball nine, and will meet any team out of the five Missouri regi- ments. Besides her athletes Company I boasts of her men of brains. Among her rank and file are the men who participated in the celebrated debates of the season, in which the Missouri State University was a winner over Kansas University and other colleges. The university faculty and board of di- rectors showed a degree of patriotism in sending the boys to the front that is un- paralleled in the history of the institution or any other college. All the boys who enlisted were passed up on their years work, and those of the graduating class a) be graduated with the remainder of the class. ' Besides the boys of I there are enough students from the university scattered through other companies of the Missouri troops to make another company. They hold offices from Second Sergeant to the staff officers. Many visitors came from all portions of the State to see the university boys. R. H. Jesse, president of the university, recently came to camp, and Father O’Reily was around Tuesday shaking hands with his friends. Father O’Reily is one of the lead- ing pulpit orators of the State, and fre- quently lectured to the students of the "varsity, who all loved to hear him speak. FILLED UP THE BIG HOLE. Sons of Veterans to the Rescue of Com- pany H of the 3d. The hole made in the 5th by the failure of a score of Company H men to pass the physical examination has been filled by the Sons of Veterans of St. Louis. Seventy young men have volunteered for service in the regiment. Thirty-five were examined Tuesday and there were but three rejections. A cond‘tion named by the boys was that they should be permitted to select the Captain and Second Lieutenant. This was agreed to and Manly Wren and George W. Halley were elected to the positions. The company retained its original First Lieutenant, R. D. Payne. Second Lieutenant Howard Ragsdale of treenfield refused to leave the regiment and joined H’s ranks as a private, HOT SCRAMBLE FOR SHOES. First Regiment Joker Causes All Sorts of Trouble in Company E. Good discipline was all that prevented a serious company row in E street, Ist Regi- ment, the other morning. Corporal Jones gets the credit of putting up the practical oke that started the fun. When the men a up none could find their shoes. But a few minutes elapse before they are called to answer the roll, and in a twink- ling the whole street was in an uproar, One fellow peeked out along the tents, then gave a yell. Shoes were stretched in the midway from the Captain's tent to the kitchen. Every man grabbed the best pair of footgear in sight and soon there was all kinds of trouble. The of- ficers quelled the uprising but the fellows who caught “‘bum skates” are grumbling yet: « IT’S THE PRIDE OF CHICAGO. Crack Regiment of the Illinois Troops Stops at East St. Louis. The ist Infantry of Illinois Volunteers passed through East St. Louis bound for Chickamauga Park Tuesday evenihg. The men were not allowed to leave the cars, but the large crowd that had assembled about the train gave;sthem a rousing reception. When at home the lst Regiment is housed in a fine armory ocsting $150,000. The regi- ment is the pride of the Windy City, whose citizens raised the money to put up this building, which is the most complete in its appointments west of New York City. The regiment ranks as the crack infantry com- mand of the West. Capt. Taylor E. Brown, in command of Company A of that _regiment, began hia ca- reer as a soldier in Company A, Ist Infantry, of this city. At the time of the railroad riots here in 1876 he Was @ private in his company, which was then stationed at the ‘Oo s. gr oe op on guard in front of the building he was confronted by a rough who refused to get off his post. Private Brown gave him timely warning, which waé not and the sentry was compelled to use his bayonet with deadly effect. For this act Private Brown was promoted and given a medal. ee FOURTH’S ORDER OF THE DAY. Plenty of Work for Everybody From First Call to Taps. Col.

The shield of Battery A, the most longed for souvenir of that famous organization, is now the property of Mrs, Joseph H., Corby, the wife of the Colonel of the 4th. Mrs. Corby, or “General” Corby as she is known to the soldiers, has a warm place in her heart for gy Rumbold's boys, and her many kindly favors won over every man to her banner. She was unanimous.y voted the recipient of the shield and it was presented with due dignity and grace. “General’ Corby will ship her valued present to her home in St. Joseph when she goes to the front with her husband.

Fairback, the leading amateur baseball player of St. Louis, has resigned his position with the Sporting News team and has joined the army. Fairback is the player who in the past two years caused such a wonderful commotion in local ‘base- ball circles by hits playing at first base and heavy hitting. He was with the Belle- the Sports.

Postmaster James L. Carlisle is said to be considering the advisability of entering the race for the Democratic nominat.on for Con- gress in the Twelfth District. He has made no definite announcement of his intentions, but his friends are looking over the ground, and feeling the pulse of the leaders in the district. Mr. Carlisle’s term as Postmaster has al- ready expired, and his love for politics, it is thought, has caused him to look with favor on the idea of trying for the Congressional nomination. Mr. ‘Carlisle's political and personal friendship for Chairman Andrew Blong of the City Executive Committee should stand him in good stead is he decides to enter the race. Democratic leaders with long heads figure on his availability as a com- promise between the silver and gold forces in the district. The district is close, but a divided Democracy would stand little show. Thomas G. Watts, the real estate man, has announced himself a candidate for the same nomination. He is a silver man. “I do not hesitate,”’ said he, ‘‘to say that I am a candidate and I am doing all I can to get the nomination,”’ Besides these two R. H. Kern, the nomi- nee two years ago, and James J. Bu'ler are in the race. Col. Kern thinks the nomina- tion is his due, since he was defeated last time. The fight for the nomination with this array of candidates promises io be warm. ROLLA WELLS GIVES $5000 Donations Reaching $10,000 for Com- pletion of the Y. M. C. A.
