V NEWS FROM SC13LE I He is in Front of Santiago de Cuba Harbor With a Sqnadron of Twelve Warships. CERVERA IS INSIDE. This is Xow Regarded as a Certainty. The Harvard Reaches Kingston Direct From the Fleet. (Copyright 1SSS by the Associated Press) Kingston, Jamaica, Hay 28. The United States auxiliary cruiser Har vard, formerly the American line steamer New York, arrived here this morning after having left the Ameri can fleet at noon yesterday. Twelve American warships are now outside the Santiago de Cuba harbor and Admiral Cervera and the Spanish fleet are al most certainly inside. But nothing cer tain is known as to the communication which Commodore Schley has had with the shore, or as to the number of Span ish fighting vessels bottled up in the iiarbor. It is to be presumed that the Harvard has important dispatches for the naval authorities at Washington. (Copyright 1S9S by the Associated Press Key West. May 2S. It is now almost certain that Commodore Schley has the Spanish fleet bottled up in the har bor of Santiago. There is so little doubt about this that the naval campaign is proceeding upon the assumption that Admiral Cervera is incapable of doing any harm. With in a few days the exact conditions at Santiago will be known without a shadow of doubt. In spite of assertions to the contrary. Commodore Schley was not absolutely sure of his game when he last communicated with Rear Ad miral Sampson and the commodore will not take active steps to block up the entrance of Santiago harbor until he is perfectly certain that Admiral Cer vera's ships are inside. However, he may have done this al ready as Commodore Schley's last com munication forwarded on Thursday only reached Rear Admiral Sampson yesterday. The commodore stayed three days at Cienfuegos. He signalled to his ships: "I believe the Spanish fleet is in the harbor." On this belief a message was sent to the American admiral. The details of how Commo dore Schley found out that he was mis taken are not yet known. At any rate acting on the admiral's instructions the commodore then moved east, arriving outside Santiago on Wednesday morn ing. May 25. The topography of Cienfuegos and Santiago is almost identical. Both har bors are about six miles long with a narrow entrance about 300 yards wide and protected by high land. A whole fleet could lie in the harbor of either place and be invisible from the out side. After his experience at Cienfuegos, It is probable that Commodore Sehley was very conservative in deciding whether or not he had caught Admiral Cervera. From the tone of his dis patches, it is evident that the commo dore soon gained much second hand and external evidence which pointed to Admiral Cervera's presence in the inner harbor." This evidence was apparently strong enough to make the commodore feel certain the object of his trip had been accomplished, but in view of his previous experience, he would not risk a decisive statement until after ascer taining the fact for himself. It is like ly that Commodore Schley has sent some vessels into the entrance of the harbor of Santiago or has obtained from a reliable source ashore, information as to the exact number and names of the Spanish warships sheltered by the bills about that place. Contrary to the generally expressed opinion the Santiago harbor is poorly r rotected. Like Havana and San Juan de Porto Rico it has its Morro castle, which is even a better target than those of Havana and San Juan. The only danger to be feared is from the mines which have been laid in the channel of Santiago since war was declared. But countermining would probably render these mines harmless should it prove desirable for Commodore Schley's ships to enter the harbor. Such a step how ever is unlikely. In this connection, it may be noted that since the commencement of the naval operations, the moral effect of the mines has been great. This condi tion promises to continue and will prob ably mark the naval operations to a greater extent than ever imagined in the past. OTJTGENEKALED XT. S. Xondon "Telegraph's" Comment on Search for Cervera. London, May 28. A dispatch to the Daily Telegraph from Kingston says: "Despite the most energetic search the whereabouts of the Spanish Cape Verde squadron remains unknown to the American authorities. On Thurs day last Cervera was reported to be at wL,'af de Cuba and Schley left Key t r that P01"1- The next morn x learned where the squadron was bound and was enabled to follow aboard the British ship Premier. "Admiral Cervera was in Cienfuegos harbor, but owing to the nature of the port it was impossible to learn from the sea whether this information was cor rect. "The American squadron, which con sisted of the battleships Iowa, Massa chusetts, Texas, Brooklyn, Marblehead, Castine, Vixen, Eagle and Dupont. maintained a close blockade of the en trance. The top masts of three or four large ships could be seen in the harbor over the promontory which conceals the entrance, and it is believed that these were the Vizcaya and two ether cruis ers under Cervera. "Tuesday evening the Cuban insur gents sent boat with positive informa tion that the Spanish fleet was not in Cienfuegos harbor, and just after sun set Commodore Schley's squadron sailed away southeast, bound for San tiago de Cuba. We followed on the Premier and despite a heavy gale from the southeast kept in touch with the squadron until 4 o'clock Wednesday. A severe rain squall then hit the vessel and when it cleared we found they had altered their course and disappeared. We stood along toward Santiago, but as the gale increased in severity and our supply of coal and water was dan gerously low, the Premier was obliged to run for Kingston where she arrived on Friday at 6 o'clock. "After losing touch of the fleet we sighted the United States gunboat Hawk, returning to Cienfuegos from Santiago de Cuba with the news that the Spanish fleet under Cervera was not at Santiago. I am afraid there is little chance of meeting the Spanish fleet The probabilities are that Cervera, after discharging ammunition and supplies for Blanco at Santiago, put out again, ran down the Caribbean to Martinique and got out into the Atlantic by the (By the Admiral Cervera Is bottled up in Santiago de Cuba bay. Tt was he who was called the Napoleon of strategy and the Nelson of the seas. For many days he h is eluded the guns of Sampson, and street corner strategists were loud in his praise. Then this wonderful Cervera made a '"dash" for Santiago de Cuba bay. He got into it safely without being blown up by his own torpedoes. On this tremendous victory the Spanish crown telegraphed its congratulations. Cervera's next great feat was to laugh on the other side of his mouch a feat which, it is believed, he is yet performing and which he may continue to perform in'deflnitelv. For getting into Santiago de Cuba bay is one thing. netting out of it is another. Nota bene: The bav is six miles long and some two miles wide. It has a very narrow neck, this bottle of Cervera's. And the opening or channel is not wide enough to admit the pissage of more than one ship at a tim". This terrible Spanish squadron, which will probably go, down in history with a fame equal to or excelling that of King Philip's armada, is apparently doomed. Three ends are in prospect for it. It will be suik by the Spaniards, it will be destroyed by the Americans, or it will be captured and added to the United States navy. Whatever fate awaits it. its uses for Spain are at an end. Admiral Cervera in his bot tle has not been congratulated by the Spinish crown on his prospects of getting out. Or if he has he has declined to com municate the fact to the dailv press. Now. the town of Santiago de Cuba is cut off from the rest of Cuba. It has no rail roads It is walled up bv high hills. Back of it is Garcia burning up its suburbs. In front, American warships stripped for action. In the bay Admiral Cervera "bottled up!" same way he entered. In this way, it appears, tne Spanish fleet has complete ly out-manouevered the American com manders and has succeeded in conceal ing its movements, although the Amer icans have some seventy warships pa trolling the West Indian waters. It is reported that severe fighting took place between the insurgents and Span iards near Cienfuegos. on Sunday, in which the Spaniards lost 300 killed and wounded." FIGHT AT CIENFUEGOS. Cruiser Brooklyn Lands Am munition and Stores. -few Tork, May 28. A dispatch from Key West says there is a report there that the cruiser Brooklyn of Commo dore Schley's fleet landed a large quan tity of arms, ammunition and stores at Cienfuegos on Tuesday. This is said to have been done after a fight in which the fort on the south side of Cienfuegos bay was badly damaged. There is also alleged to have been a fight between 700 insurgents and a force of Spanish cavalry, the latter being defeated. Prisoners Exchanged. Washington, May 2S. The state de partment has been notified by British Consul Gollan at Havana that the ex change of prisoners has been effected and the Maple, with Charles Thrall and Hayden Jones, the American corre spondents on board, has sailed for Key West. lift cab: The Spanish Fleet Under Ad miral Camara Has Sailed From Cadiz For the Open Sea TO WAIT FOR ORDERS. Its Destination is Said to Be Still Undecided. May Be Philippines, Cuba or the United States. Madrid, May 28. It is officially an nounced that the Spanish squadron commanded by Admiral Camara has left Cadiz. Before going to its destina tion the squadron will maneuver prob ably for several days in the open sea, afterwards immediately sailing for the Philippine islands, Cuba, or the United States, as the government may judge most opportune. The squadron is understood to be Bottled Up!" Journal Staff Artist From the Chicago Times composed of ten or twelve vessels. New Tork.May 28. A World dispatch from London says: The chief officer of a steamer just in from Cadiz said last night: "When we left Cadiz last Friday the only Spanish warships there were the battleship Pe layo, the cruiser Emperador, Carlos V. one torpedo boat and the converted cruisers Partriota and Rapido. The cruisers were at the arsenal. "Everything bore the appearance of unsteadiness. "The Pelayo's boilers, recently put in at Toulon had just been condemned by the superintending engineer at Cadiz, on the ground that they were of insuf ficient strength. She was, however, coaling. "The Rapido and the Patriota had not been fitted with guns and neither had a crew. "There was no belief in the reports that the fleet was going to Manila, or anywhere else for some weeks at least." New Tork, May 2S. A special to the World from Madrid says: The concentration of troops at Spain's southern ports from Cadiz to Malaga, is serving a two-fold purpose. In the first place the government is catering to public sentiment by annoying Great Britain. Secondly The ministry is making the people believe that some deep design Is harbored by which the forces and the reserve fleet will be sent shortly In to the waters of the West Indies. Duke Almodovar de Rio, who knows England perfectly and the ministers of war and of marine, do not like these concessions to the patriotic papers but the cabinet is so sorely divided that it is doomed to another reconstruction soon and is obliged to live from hand to mouth. ORDERS FOR SCHLEY. Leave Kingston, Jamaica, by Special Messenger. New York, May 28. A special cable to the New York Evening Telegram dated Kingston, May 28, says: By arrangement with the Associated Press, the latter's dispatch boat "Dandy" took on board a messenger with dispatches cabled to Consul Dent here for transmission to the American fleet. The "Dandy" left Port Maria on the north coast of Jamaica last night. The messenger on the "Dandy" is an officer of the navy department and it is understood he has dispatches of the greatest importance for Commodore Schley. Manila Wrappers Safe. London. May 28.

ORNAMENT WINS Jockey Sloan's Horse is the FaTorite In the Brooklyn Handicap Run Today. 3IANY GOOD HORSES Are Entered For the Great Trial of Speed. Prospect This Morning For a Slow Track. New Tork, May 28. Disagreeable weather and a heavy track are the con ditions for the opening of the Brooklyn Jockey club meeting today and the Brooklyn handicap at a mile and a quarter which is to be run this after noon, is not likely to be the success it should be. Fifty horses are on the card as starters, although not more than ten of the lot are likely to go to the post. The names, weights and probable jock eys are as follows: Name. Weight. Rider. Ornament 127 pounds Sloan Ben Holiday 121 pounds Doegett On Deck 119 pounds Taral Semper Ego MS psunds Maher Tiilo 118 pounds ..R. Williams Dr. Catlett 117 pounds H- Lewis Howard Mann 115 pounds Spencer Lehman 114 pounds Don d'Or 113 pounds Merry Prince ....105 pounds Hewitt Royal Stag 110 pounds Bergen Ben Eder 109 pounds Hamilton Handball. 100 pounds ...Jackson Sly Fox 92 pounds Lamiey Our Johnny 88 pounds O'Connor Of these Dr. Catlett, Howard Mann, Lehman, Ben Eder and Handball are doubtful starters. All the candidates for the handicap were out on the track this morning but they did nothing more than canter around once or twice and then got a pipe-opener through the stretch just to keep them in good condition; for all have had their solid work in the last day or two. It was conceded on all sides after the work of the morning was over and the trainers had gathered in groups to dis cuss the coming race that Ornament was the popular favorite and that he would be the best backed horse in the race. But the general opinion was that it would be an open contest, as there are so many good ones in this year and nearly all had been raced more or less. At 10 o'clock this morning the track was dryer than had been expected and the harrows were at work trying to turn the thick paste into fair going. The prospects were, however, that a hold ing and consequently a very slow track would be seen at about 4 o'clock, the scheduled time for the big race. The crowd- began to gather at the track at about 1 o'clock, the track then was heavy, although somewhat soft in spots. At that time Ogden 106 pounds, had been hoisted as a starter in the handicap, while Howard Mann, Royal Stag and Merry prince had been de clared out. At 2 o'clock the crowd had begun to assume the usual proportions of Brook lyn handicap day and all the best seats had been taken in the grand stand. Handball and Our Johnny were declar ed out of the handicap. ORNAMENT WINS. New Tork, May 28. Ornament won; Ben Holliday second; Sly Fox third Time 2:10. PLACE FOR B0TK1N. Theo.

NEWS OFVIGTORY Rumor of an American Success Beaches Hayti. (Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press.) Cape Haytien, Hayti, May 28. A ru mor has reached here of an important American success, but no confirmation of the report can be obtained here. Since the rumored arrival of the Spanish fleet at Santiago de Cuba, no news has reached here, though the ca ble between this place and Santiago de Cuba is not interrupted. The significance of this mysterious silence is not known, but excites great wonder. No explanation Is furnished excepting surmise based on various in fluences. The theory that the Spanish admiral allowed himself to be bottled up in the bay of Santiago de Cuba, is not enter tained here. On the contrary, the Hay tien officials say it is far from likely that such a thing has occurred. It is hoped that a message from Com modore Schley will soon be received at the Mole St. Nicolas, or elsewhere. OFFICIALS AT WAR. Governor Leedy and Secretary of War Alger Clash. -War between Governor Leedy and Secretary Alger of the war department broke out in earnest this morning. Gov ernor Leedy had asked that Kansas be allowed to raise two full regiments on the second call. Alger did not reply promptly and when he did he sent this telegram Governor of Kansas: It is estimated that about 990 enlisted men will be required to fill to the max imum, the organizations already in service from your state. It is desired to know how far you will be able to furnish the above number. R. A. ALGER, Secretary of War. When the governor read the telegram his temper rose and not without some reason, for he had followed Alger's in structions as he understood. He promptly dictated the following tele gram in reply: Russell A. Alger, Secretary of War: In reply to your telegram saying it will require 990 men to fill organizations of Kansas troops already in the field to maximum, will say that the regiments from Kansas left the state with ranks filled to the maximum, according to vour instructions. 3.000 men signed the roll and not one made his mark. If you will give us two regiments under this call we will nil tnem witn tne same kind of men and any subsequent call will be met promptly and no draft will ever be needed in Kansas. If more men are needed in the regiments already or ganized they will be promptly furnish ed. J. W. LEEDT.

Dewey is Waiting Patiently for Reinforcements. New Tork, May 28. A dispatch to the World from Manila by way of Hong Kong says: The situation of the be sieged inhabitants of Manila is grow ing more and more desperate owing to the shutting oft of the supplies of food. The blockade of the bay by Admiral Dewey's squadron is complete while the Insurgents have surrounded the city on the land side, thus effectually clos ing the place. Admiral Dewey has deferred further aggressive action at this point until the arrival of the United States cruiser Charleston with coal and ammunition and of the promised troops for the military occupation of the islands. The Spaniards in Manila have heard a re port that a squadron of eight Spanish warships is coming to attack the American fleet. The story about the smallpox epidemic on board the United States vessels is without foundation. Everybody in the squadron is in excel lent health, the weather is not severely hot and no sickness is apprehended. Hong Kong, May 28. There is abso lutely no truth in the report that the United States cruiser Baltimore, now at Manila has been damaged by an inter nal explosion. The United States auxiliary cruiser Seafire which arrived here at midnight yesterday reports that Rear Admiral Dewey is short of provisions and ammu nition. The Havilo-Manila cable, it is said, was cut by the Americans on May 23. A brush between the insurgents and the Spanish occurred near Cavite on May 20. The entire American fleet is at Ca vite. The report that some of the American ships had sailed for Iloilo where the Spanish gunboat El Cano is supposed to be, is incorrect. Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader, is with the insurgents between the Ameri cans and Spain. The incendiary fires continue. The priests and nuns at Manila have been removed from the latter place to Laguna. All the coast towns are reported to be held by Spanish troops. The Americans are repairing the slip at Cavite. Washington, May 28. Secretary Long received a cable this morning from Ad miral Dewey informing him of the illness of Captain Gridley and two other officers, who have been invalided and will be sent home. Washington, May 28. The navy de partment this afternoon made public the following dispatch: Cavite, May 25, via Hong Kong, May 27. To Secretary of the Navy, Wash ington: No change in the situation of the blockade. It is effective. It is Impos sible for the people of Manila to buy provisions except rice. The captain cf the Olympia (Gridley) condemned by medical survey. Is ordered home. Leaves by Occidental and Oriental steamship from Hong Kong the 2Sth. Commander Lamberton appointed com mander of the Olympia. (Signed), DEWET. JERRY IS REFUSED. The Governor Wants Mr. Simp son to Remain in Congress.

Jerry Simpson, Washington, D. C. "I have the honor to acknowledge re ceipt of your patriotic tender of service to the nation in the present conflict with Spain. While I appreciate the high motives of patriotism which prompt the personal tender of service in the cause of our common country, I am inclined to believe in common with other citizens of the state of Kansas, and especially with the citizens of the Seventh district, that we would prefer that you should remain in your present position during the present crisis in the affairs of our country.

Senator Gorman IVarns Senate the That if It Does Not Speedily Pass the Revenue Bill A CRISIS WILL COME And the President TVill Be Forced to Sell Bonds. Sees the Possible Downfall of the Supreme Court. Washington, May 28. During the dis cussion of the revenue bill In the senate yesterday, Mr. Gorman of Maryland said he approved of some provisions of the house bill and some of the amend ments made by the senate committee. The burdens ought to be placed upon the large interests able to pay taxes, instead of upon the people regardless of their condition. The people.he main tained, should be exempted from the offensive and burdensome stamp tax. He said it had been declared during the debate that the corporation tax If en acted into law might be decided by the supreme court to be unconstitutional, thus reiterating a decision as "infam ous" as that on the income tax law. "Mow is the time," he declared, "while we are engaged in war, to test the su preme court upon the corporation tax. A decision against it will not destroy our financial structure, but it would de stroy the court. The American people would amend the constitution so that in time of war taxes might be levied upon all interests justly and equita bly." Mr. Gorman then formally presented his amendment to the bill, providing for a tax upon corporations, which was brought out yesterday by Mr. White. He made a strong defense of its provis ions and appealed to the senate to en graft it upon the bill. In the course of a discussion on the proposed coinage of the silver seignor age, Mr. Gorman held that it involved a political contention of eight years' standing. "'In my judgment," said he, "it would be unwise it would be fruit less to attempt to force that question to the front while the country has the Spanish army and navy to confront. That is a question we ought to fight out in a time of peace. I have always been a partisan. I have voted for my party even when some of its candidates did not quite meet my approval, but in a crisis like this I do not know my party. I know only the highest Inter ests of my country.Knowing how sharp is the political division upon this propo sition, I can not vote for it at this time, no matter how just it may be in the abstract or as a proposition standing alone." Mr. Gorman advocated an issue of bonds. He declared that if the bond provis ion proposed should not be enacted into the law, the crisis would come, perhaps within 30 days and the president would be forced to issue bonds under the act of 1875, at probably four or five per cent interest. He thought the president would be fully justified in selling at least $300,000,000 in protection of the dignity and honor of the country and in insuring success to our arms. Air. Gorman in conclusion declared his opposition to the issue of legal tend er notes. GERMAN SHIP HELD. Cargo of Coal Detained in tlie Pb-ila aetpma larbor. Philadelphia. Mav 28. Fearine- that her cargo of coal might fall into the nanus or trie bpanish warships in Cu ban waters, or that the coal is intended for a Spanish port, the collector of the port has detained the German steamer Amrum, pending instructions from Washington. The coal is consigned to the Mexican railroad, to be delivered at Vera Cruz, Mexico. In detaining the vessel, the collector Is carrying out the instructions issued by the treasury de partment last week, to the effect that all vessels with coal for West Indian. Central, or South American points shall not be given clearance papers until it is positively shown that the coal is not for Spanish consumption. BICYCLE DECLINE. March Exports Fall Off Comparative Record. Washington. Mav 28.

The outburst of patriotism which took the form of salutes being fired from the old brass cannons in the state house grounds, was not without its undesira ble features. By the concussion caused by the explosion of the powder charges, over 40 stained glass panes have been shattered in the windows of the First Baptist church, northeast corner of Ninth and Jackson streets. The cannon were placed on the macadam drive in front of the east wing of the state house.which was probably 200 feet from the Baptist church. The stained glass panes being held in the window frames by leaden frames, were easily loosened by the concussion of the powder charges, and fell out. Kansas is First.

Secretary Alger sent to the house today a -communication Inclosing a letter from a prominent pub lishing house in Philadelphia, in which it urged a correspondent to adopt means to get photographs of the defenses despite the prohibition. The concern in this let ter, which was turned over to the govern ment, stated it had emphatically been re fused permission to make photographs of the League Island navy yard and Kort Mifflin, but the next day it hired a tug boat and its photographer, stopping in front of the navy yard, took several views and urged its agents to secure photo graphs of all fortifications by these or similar means. Rear Admiral Sicard, president of the war board, to whom the letter was re ferred, recommends that the publication and exposing for sale of views of the navy yards, fortifications, new ships and other government structures for military or naval service should ba forbidden by law during the war. Chief of Engineers Wilson, TJ. S. A., adds a recommendation for an act making pho tographs of fortifications or publications of descriptions of works of defense a penal offense. MOTTOES PROHIBITED. War Supply Contractors Warned of a New Rule. St. Louis, May 28. The secretary of the navy has issued an order that contractors of army supplies must not put mottoes on their goods. This was brought about by a St. Louis contractor of hardtack, who stamped on each cake the words, "Remember the Maine." It is understood that the secretary of war will issue a similar order. The cause of this is not known here. The words on the hardtack were formed of perforations and could, therefore, in no way injure the cake. Considerable comment is heard In this city regarding the order, but nothing is said by the con tractors for publication. The men say it looks as though the government wanted them to forget the Maine, while others maintain that the soldiers and Jackies do not need a motto to make them fight or be patriotic. COLORED REGIMENT. Prominent Colored People Will Ask Got. Leedy For Rec ognition. Prominent Topeka colored men are be hind a scheme to have one colored regi ment sent from Kansas in response to the second call. Rev. S. W. L. Grant and B. F. Foster held a conference with Adjutant General Allen this mornng and they were as sured that their request will be given at tention. They will see Governor Leedy this afternon and urge the recognition of the colored people of Kansas in forming col ored regiments. Rev. Mr. Grant said to day: "The colored men of Kansas desire a regiment of infantry. Efforts are now be ing made to complete the organization of a regiment In the following counties: Reno, Douglas. Sedgwick, Lyon, Labette, Leavenworth, Bourbon, Barton and Riley. Eight companies have been organized and others are being pushed right along. "The colored men are patriotic and de sirous of rendering some assistance to the flag in the present crisis. A colored regi ment might appear to be novel to many who never saw colored soldiers, but it can be depended upon to do hard patriotic service during the present hostilities. It is fair to presume that if the regiment is a conceded fact its officers and those of the companies will be competent colored men. SOME FINANCIAL THEORIES. Soldiers Will Carry Mexican Dollars to Manila New York, May 27. The Press says One of the most interesting prepara tions for the outfitting of the Manila expedition has just been announced. The government has purchased 25,000 Mexican silver dollars, which General Merrltt will take along to defray the expenses of the expedition. This amount is not expected to last long, but more will be sent him from time to time. By purchasing Mexican dollars a great saving is made. It is possible to obtain Mexican dollars at 46 cents each thus obtaining for one American dollar two Mexican ones, and leaving eight cents toward the purchase of a third. In the Philippines a Mexican dollar will buy more than an American dol lar, thus the expenses of General Mer rltt 3 expedition after it once lands in Manila will be less than one-half what they would otherwise be. As to the soldiers, they will fare excellently un der this arrangement, for they will, of course, be paid according to law, Amer ican money. The paymaster will give each soldier two Mexican dollars for every Ameri can dollar due him on pay day. Eight thousand cork helmets have been sent from the Philadelphia hat depot to San Francisco. They are for the Philippine expedition. The depot quartermaster here opened bids for ten thousand additional helmets. The hel mets are to be made of cork, which renders them light and waterproof. The firm of Charles Levy Sons was the lowest bidder, offering to furnish the ten thousand at $1.25 apiece, and to de liver them at the rate of 4,000 a week. GERMAN SHARPSHOOTERS. War Department Accepts the Brook lyn Company. New York. May 27. The war department has accepted the services of a company of German sharpshooters in the eastern dis- I trict of Brooklyn. The organization is j known as the Independent Volunteer i company, and has 200 members. When I war was first declared between the United 1 States and Spain the organization was among tne nrst to volunteer. Lieutenant William Kinkelmeier, the company's commander, has ordered drills to be held every day until the men are called to the front. It is believed that this is the first organization of the kind in Brooklyn which has been taken by the government to make up the quota of 7,500 men from, this state.

Gleed of this city went over to the Brooklyn navy yard to see the Topeka. He says she appeared as if she had been in contact with icebergs, cyclones, torna does and the whole Spanish fleet. Her paint was blistered and discolored and her whole appearance was disreputable. But several hundred men were working on her night and day. Her engines were being overhauled, her decks rearranged and her guns properly set. All unnecessary rig ging was being taken away and the regu lation paint was hiding the discolorations. Mr. Gleed saw Lieutenant Commander Cowles, who will command the Topeka, and found him an ideal naval officer. He entered the navy (according to the Army and Navy Register) from Connecticut and has the following record: Midship man, July 22, 1863: ensign, December, 18, 1868; master, March 21, 1870; lieutenant, Oc tober 26, 1871; lieutenant commander. May 5, 1892. Lieutenant Commander Cowles is described by Mr. Gleed as a tall, finely proportioned man with a strong face, bronzed by exposure, and capable of a most captivating smile. He looks like a man who would grace any fashionable drawing room, or go to battle against all odds and fight like a fiend. Lieutenant Commander Cowles says the Topeka is an admirable fighting ship of the middleweight class. She has unusual speed and great strength, and will be able to render fine service in many positions where, the heavier vessels would be un manageable. She is 250 feet long, her dis placement is 1,800 tons and her speed is 16 knots. Compared with the first class battleship Iowa, therefore, she is about one-sixth the weight.two-thirds the length and is fully as fast probably faster. She will likely do coast patrol service for the present. Commander Cowles assured Mr. Gleed that whatever the people of Topeka in their liberality might select as a present for the ship would be fully appreciated and most highly prized by both officers and men. He wishes to return thanks in advance to the public spirited citizens of Topeka who have already moved in the matter of remembering their city's name sake. CROWNED AT FAIRBURY Coronation of the Gypsy Queen Took Piace Last Sunday. The blushing Romany gypsy qufeen, Molly Fryer-Stackovitch, was crowned queen at Fairbury, Neb., on May 22. It had been intended that the coronation should take place in Topeka. The gypsies left Topeka several weeks ago in response to word from those of their tribe who were journeying toward Omaha from Ore gon. They could not get to Topeka by May 22 on account of coming overland. Permission was granted for the corona tion to take place at Fairbury, Neb., by Bela Metrovltch, the only Romany gypsy priest in the United States. Arthur See, who is high in the ecclesiastical circles of the gypsies in the United States, lives at Blue Springs, Neb., and it was through his efforts that the coronation was held in Nebraska. Molly Fryer-Stackovitch was 20 years of age on May 22. The coronation took place in the gypsy camp a short distance from Fairbury. Neb., and only members of the tribe and a few invited guests were present. The Romany gypsies will as semble at Omaha and spend the summer there. It will be their quadrennial con vention. The State Journal today receiv ed a letter from Louis Stackovitch, whose English name is Stanley, and who is the husband of the gypsy queen, stating that the coronation took place on the date pre viously named, and at Fairbury, Neb. MONTEREY IN DOCK. Will Soon Be Ready to Start for Ma nila. Mare Island, Navy Yard, Cal., May 28 The United States ship Philadel phia after being thoroughly refitted has been undocked and the Monterey took her place. The bottom of the Monterey will be scraped and painted, after which she will be ready for her trip to Manila. The large collier Peter Jebsen, re named Brutus, purchased by the gov ernment with her cargo of 4,800 tons of coal for $270,000, is also being prepared for sea. Her boilers and engines after inspection were pronounced in excellent condition. Rapid fire guns will be put on board at once. She will make the trip to the Philippines in company with the Monterey. A crew of naval militia from San Francisco, numbering 56, has been or dered to the Mohican, which will de part soon with ammunition and stores for the Hawaiian naval station. There are now lying at the navy yard 15 United States ships as follows: Phil adelphia, Monterey, Yorktown, Alert, Mohican, Pensacola, Independence, Un adilla, Monitor Comanche, Hartford, Thetis, Ranger, Ningchow and Peter Jebsen. NAVY Y ARD FIRE. Brooklyn Officials Have a Scare Na val Reserves as Bucket Brigade. New York, May 2S. The officials of the Brooklyn navy yard had a scare last night about 9 o'clock, when a fire was discov ered in the paint shop. Three alarms were sent in at once, which called to the yard nine engines, three trucks and three flre hoats. In addition to the boats David A. Boodv and Seth Low of the Brooklyn department, the fire boat Havemeyer.from New York, was hurried at once to the yard. Chief Dale of the Brooklyn forces was on hand and Chief Bonner from New York came over the bridge at a gallop. In addition to the inflammable nature of the material a fire in the yard at this time of any kind is fraught with grave possibilities, and the precautions taken to handle a large blaze were far beyond what the actual condition of affairs would or dinarily warrant. The building on the first floor of which the fire broke out is at Dock and First streets It is 250x50 feet, and Is known as No 10 The reserves from the training shiD Vermont were called out and did effeet've work, under Captain Miller, in extm iruishinir the flames The damage was estimated to be about $3.0iA. and the cause of the fire is supposed to nave Deen spon taneous combustion TWO MILLION DOLLARS. This Amount Expended for War Sup plies in St. Louis. St. Louis. May 28. The sum of $1,- 455,400 represents the money paid out by Lieutenant Colonel G. C tsmitn, chief commissary U. S. A., to St. Louis merchants and Missouri farmers for supplies since war was declared. The three largest items are $1,125,000, $97,- 500 for horses and $45,000 for tents. In addition almost as much has been paid out by the commissary department for subsistence. The St. Louis tent fac tories have trebled their output and are now working day and night to fill the big army contract awarded them. GERMANY PROMPT. Ambassador White Searches Spanish Vessel at Berlin. Berlin. May 28. United States Am bassador White is greatly pleased at a fresh evidence of Germany's strict neu trality. Acting upon information from the United States consul at Hamburg to the effect that the Spanish steamer Pinzon was about to sail with contra band of war, Mr. White went to the foreign office and protested with the re sult that the government officials act ed promptly. The steamer was searched and no contraband of wax was found on board. IT IS MARVELOUS The Volume of Business is Unprecedented. Railroad Earnings Show an In crease Everywhere. EAST BOUND FREIGHT From Chicago Double What It Ever W7as Before. 20,000,000 Bushels of Corn Exported in a Month. New York, May 28. R. G. Dun Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: The nation faces war with a reviving volume of business. The west is doing its part, and more, but at the east also the volume of business is now expanding. Without abatement in any important line, the great outgo of wheat and corn con tinues to stimulate business at the west, and railroad earnings show an increase over last year of 15.1 per cent in trunk lines, 8.8 per cent in granger roads and in the other western roads 14.6 per cent, while eastbound shipments from Chicago in three weeks have been 3S8,808 tons, against 150,812 tons last year and 164,923 tons in 1892. This is largely because of the enormous movement of breadstuffs. Atlantic ex ports of wheat, flour included, have been 3.726,442 bushels for the week, against, 1, 536,607 last year, though Pacific exports were only 92,184 bushels, against 314,955 bushels last year. Wheat receipts at the west did not di minish, but ran far beyond those of a year ago for the week, 4,625,653 bushels.against 2,969,173 last year. In four weeks exports from both coasts have been 13,691,874 bush els, against 5.704,334 last year. The great feature is the enormous buying of corn, exports having reached 5,550,955 bushels for the week, against 1.5S4.511 last wear, and in four weeks the exports have been 20,285,097 bushels, against 9,360,091 last year. Yet corn closes 3 cents lower for the week, although wheat, after rising from $1.56 to $1.66 for May, fell to $1.46 on Friday, while July options fell 14 cents. Official and all other accounts agree in estimating that the wheat yield will be remarkably large this year, in spite of the fact that the California crop has been much damage by want of rain. Starting this month with the greatest consumption ever known, the iron indus try has made surprising progress in new orders, which reached about 100,000 tons in bars alone, over 50.000 having been placed at Chicago and 15,000 at Wheeling, mainly resulting from the extraordinary demand for agricultural implements. Heavy con tracts for structural work amount dur ing the week to at least 15,000 tons, with others reported at many western cities. Plate contracts, outside of the heavy de mand for the government, are very large, and include 5,600 tons for shipyards"- in Glasgow and Belfast. Many structural and bridge contracts at the west are pending, with probability of large orders during the coming week. A better de mand now appears for textile goods, with a slight advance in print cloths and a substantial gain in sales of staples. Wool sales during the week have been only 3.748,100 pounds, of which 2,489,100 were domestic, against 6,842,400 a year ago. and 4,211.000 in the same week in 1S92. The manufacturers are largely supplied with material, although some who have heavy government contracts are obliged to buy different grades of wool than those they have in hand. Activity in the market is prevented by the fact that western holders almost uni versally believe in higher prices than can yet be realized in eastern markets, so that purchasing is very light. The silk mills are all busy, and coming linen manufacture is making a good rec ord for itself. Failures for the week have been 245 in the United States against 214 last year, and 21 Canada, against 22 last year. MONSTER GRAIN POOL. Eastern Railroads Exceed the Record of the Century. Chicago, May 28. One of the greatest railroad pools in the history of the coun try has been'formed in direct violation of the interstate commerce law Dy tne nve leading railroads having New York ter minals. These roads are the New York Central and Hudson River, the Erie, the Lehigh Valley, the West Shore and the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western. The coalition was engineered by S. R. Callaway, the new president of the New York Central, and is regarded by railroad men as a remarkably shrewd coup in the interests of the Vanderbilts, though it will operate to the further advantage of New York's great export trade, which has been nearly ruined by the adverse discrimina tion of the railroads. By the terms of the new agreement all the grain received at or east of Buffalo by the five railroads will be pooled and al lotted to each road in the following pro portions: New York Central. 40 per cent; Erie, 25; Lehigh Valley, 16; West Shore, 15; Delaware, Iucka wanna and Western, 4 per cent. Total. 100. The pool will be managed by a commit tee composed of Nathan Guilford, traffic manager of the New York Central; H. H. Kingston, traffic manager of the Lehigh Valley; H. C. Hicks, general freight agent of the Delaware. Lackawanna and West ern; Frank Harriott, general freight traf fic manager of the Erie; and Percy R. Todd, general traffic manager of the West Shore railroad. This committee will fix the rates on all grain carried, and their figures will be final. No agent will have any power to alter them, and to prevent rate cutting and secret infractions of the agreement, the grain business will be taken out of the control of the freight agents and given into the control of William H. Smith, formerly of the A. R. Gray Lighterage company, who has been appointed joint agent and who will make all grain con tracts. Mr. Smith will have his headquarters in New York and will report regularly to the pooling committee. Notice of Mr. Smith's appointment and the fact that rates will be advanced on June 1 about one-quarter of a cent per bushel between Buffalo and New York were sent today to the Produce Exchange and the grain trade of New York. Kansas Sends Four Cars. The following is taken from the Omaha Bee of May 25: Prof. Worrall of Topeka, the decorative expert whose arrangement of the Kansas state exhibit at the Philadelphia Centen nial exposition attracted the attention of the world to "bleeding Kansas" and its agricultural resources, has arrived with four cars of the Kansas exhibit, which he will arrange In the most attractive form. The exhibit will occupy space in the ag ricultural, mines and horticultural build ings and Prof. Worrall modestly says that he is making every effort to eclipse every thing he has done in the decorating line. The agricultural exhibit occupies one of the most conspicuous locations in the big agriculture building, being one of the four corners in the center of the building oppo site Nebraska and Iowa. Memorial Day Garfield Park. The committee in charge have com pleted arrangements, and have succeed ed in preparing a splendid programme for the occasion. Music will be patriot ic and of high order.

The commencement exercises of St. John's Military school were held at the school yesterday raora ing. The" orations were delivered in the following order: G. W. Brooks, Gladstone;" F. T. Kennard, "Thi American Indian:" C. H. Hill. "What Can a Youns Man Do?" E. Stapleton. "Menticulture:" Charles Jer.ney. "The Republics of the Southern Cross.;" B. J. Guige, "Wordsworth:" X. Landes, "Bosses in Politics:" D. T. Bryan. "Pa triotism;" G. Davidson, "Defeats in Vic tory." After the presentation of diplomas by Bishop iliilspaueh the Rev. J. E. H. L ed. dean of Salina convocation, mate an address to the graduates, in which he described the life in the Military schools of England. The address was very appropriate and it sparkled with wit and humor. After the address Bishop Millspaugh said that it was the happiest hour of his life in so far as it had been con nected with the St. John's Military school. The sending' out into the world of a class. the largest we have ever graduated of such fine young men. was an inspiration. They will be a source of great uplifting, however, in the several communities where they ex pect to reside. "Two of the class." said the Bishop, "have expressed their desire to study for the ministry and it is possible that two more will do the same. And I hope to be able in the future to point out many a clergyman in my diocese and say that man found the preparation in St. John's Military school, a strength in his ministerial life." The exercises closed with bene diction by the bishop. The reception given last evening at St. John's in honor of Bishop Mills paugh was very pleasant indeed and a large number came to pay their re spects to the Bishop and Mrs. Mills paugh.

Chief Quarles would like to be a colonel of a Kansas regiment, or if he couldn't step mat nign, a majors commission would suit him. and he didn't fail to let Gov ernor Leedy know about it. He had an interview with the governor, but evi dently it was not wholly satisfactory, as he stated afterward that he did not think he would go to war on this call.

GLOTHEDAT LAST The 20th Kansas Boys Get Their Outfits. Clothing, Blankets, Guns and Ammunition. POLITE COL. LITTLE. lie is Winning Golden Opinions From California Ladies And Incidentally Having His Men Well Cared For. From the State Journal's Special Cor respondent. J Ssan Francisco, May 24. Lieut. Col. Little said to me today that he had heard nothing of the ru mor that Colonel Frederick Funston was to come on to the coast to take charge of the Kansas men on the Phil ippine expedition. And he added as an afterthought, "I shouldn't object, because the work and the strain one me are tremendous." But his looks belied these words and the war fire in his eyes for in a moment he added: "However the camp is now located and in good working- order and the worst of the ordeal of a new move is over." Col. Little should be left in charge. He has proven the right man in the right place. I sat in his tent yesterday and noted the ease with, which he disposed of hi3 work. "Red Cross" women called to secure permission to bring a load of supplies in the camp for the troops. Report3 were laid aside and in a moment the matter was satisfactorily arranged. Two handsome ladies brought a great bouquet of roses. They were given permission to visit the camp and one of them murmured, "What charming; manners. I didn't know a Kansas man could be so pleasant." In two minutes more he was deeply engaged with Gen. Bell in the matter of securing rifles, uniforms and supplies for his men, and at the close the gen eral said: "Col. Little, your report is the most complete and comprehensive I have received. It will save me a per sonal inspection as in other cases." Col. Little's sole reply was: "General, I wish you would hurry up that quar termaster of yours. He Is slower than the seven years itch." The gentleman from Kansas is proving a diplomat in war as in peace. Newspapers from home are the most valued article in camp. A Topeka sol dier has received three State Journals i ana tairiy nas to tigtit to keep posses sion. Col. Little has seen an "Abilene paper only. Last night a tent in the Fort Scott row caught afire from a careless smok er's pipe and was quickly demolished. Most all of the contents were saved. Fifteen Topeka boys were caught by the sentinel last night while attempting to run the guards for a night uptown. They will do guard duty. Chinatown by night is the mecca that dares the soldier to many a night sneak from camp. The weather is again bright and sun shiny but always with a cold afternoon wind from the sea. They style it the Trade wind. It is far from pleasant. The general health of the camp is pood. Only one man, Bownan, of Greenwood county, is at all seriously ili. His heart seems to be affected and he has frequent fainting spells The former Topeka citizens of San Francisco have decided to give the To peka boys a banquet one night this week. They will cook up a large amount of meats, pies and cakes and descend on the camp for a late supper. There will be none missing from the camp that night. O. S. Morgan and daughter Grace and S. G. Watkins are at the head of the movement. Rations are issued at 6, 12 and 6. I stood at the cook tent yesterday at neon as the Topeka boys were filing up for their dinner. They formed in a long row. Four great dish pans full, one each of mashed potatoes, boiled beans, fat bacon and coffee were awaiting. Bundy took the first man's plate, gave him a great spoon of potatoes, another of beans, then a "hunk" of dripping fat meat and added a handful of hard tack. Private" Snap then dipped out I a cup of coffee, added a pinch of sugar and a cheerful "move on." Taylor and Haisch who had evidently "made a raise somewhere." passed out as a del icacy, a slice of fresh bread and butter. One rosy cheeked boy said, "I am so glad to see bread, I can't go hardtack any longer." This was undoubtedly the best meal served in the camp yes terday outside of the officers' quart ers. Some of the boys didn't have beans, others no bread, according to the rust ling ability of the quartermaster. The boys from Woodson and Coffey county are the next best rustlers to the Topeka crowd. They always have extras. Beginning w-ith today, marching ra tions w ill cease and regular rations be distributed. Prof. Gormly is getting his band in training as a whole. He said today that he would form an organization this week. The troops are being fitted out today.

Canvas suits will not be used as first ordered. They could not be gotten ready. The men are all being drilled twice a day. A high official said: "There is no use denying the fact that our men are yet raw. They need more work and more daily drill. We can never leave San Francisco for Manila or any place else until we get over our green work. If six hours daily drill isn't enough. then the men will be given nine or twelve "We must get in shape early or get left on a Philippine voyage." Many of the men fear they will not be sent to Manila at all and fret and chafe under the delay. The black horse of Major Dallas bearing Col.Little, is becoming a famil iar scene around camp.

Crosby Bros., Mills-Adams and Mrs. Mercer's Lunch Appreciated. With the Third battalion just out of St. Louis, May 26, 1S98. The trip from Topeka to St. "Louis was accomplished without mishap, barring hot boxes, and the Twenty-second was greeted with enthusiastic cheers all along the line. At every stop, men and women would grasp the boys by the hand, wishing them godspeed and a safe re turn. The Twenty-second band has a car to themselves with the Third battalion, and are feeling- very fine. An elegant spread was given the band by Messrs. Crosby Bros., Mills-Adams Dry Goods company and Mrs. Mercer. The band received their first rations of hard tack, last night, but most of the hard tack was given out as souvenirs thanks to the above mentioned lunch. At St. Louis when the Twenty-second departed, bells were rung, whistles blown, flags waved and the greatest enthusiasm displayed. The route to Washington is the Baltimore Ohio, and we go through without change of cars. J. F. VAN DTJVERT. TO SAVE HIS BOOKS J. "W. Cowan Gave His Life in a Dallas Fire. Dallas, Tex., May 28.

Governor Scofield's cow is attracting more atten tion in Wisconsin than the Spanish war. This mild muley cow for she has been deprived of her horns was brought from Oconto, the governor's home, to Madison to supply the execu tive family with milk, and the exact manner of her travel from Oconto to Madison may have an important bear ing on the fate of the administration. Assemblyman A. R. Hall of Dunn county, in a recent communication in a Milwaukee paper, opposed the renom ination of Governor Scofield on the ground that he was too favorable to corporations, and charged that after vetoing the express company taxation bill passed by the last legislature Gov ernor Scofield franked the cow to Madi son. This charge is denied by the gover nor's friends, who allege that he paid for the transportation of the cow, and has the receipt from the express com pany to prove it. The local officials of the express com pany refuse to make any statement about the cow. The governor's oppon ents claim that they have accurate in formation to prove that he uses an ex press frank, and that he did frank the cow. While they are reticent concern ing the source of their information, it is said that they got most of It from a discharged employe of the express company, who furnished them the num ber of the alleged frank and complete details of the cow's journey. The governor's friends say that they will publish the receipts of the express company to prove that he paid for the transportation of the animal, but those who are opposed to him say they can prove that the receipt was obtained after the affair got into the papers, and was obtained to shut off criticism. The attacks against Governor Sco field on the transportation of the cow are made chiefly by the friends of former Congressman R. M. La Follette, who is expected to come forward as a rival candidate for the governorship, and it is supposed that the cow in cident is a part of the La Follette pro gramme in the fight against Governor Scofield and the machine. The Demo cratic and La Follette papers are print ing caricatures of the animal with their attacks on Governor Scofield's can didacy for renomination. A counter attack will shortly be made, it is said, against Assemblyman Hall by friends of the governor, in which it will be charged that Mr. Hall has failed to pay his just taxes on per sonal property at his home.

Perhaps when it is all over Canada will feel so proud of her neighbor that she will ask to be taken into the fold. When "Buffalo Bill" returns from the Cuban war he will probably put on a ehow illustrative of how it was done. The stereotyped message sent out Is no longer "All quiet along the Po tomac," but "All is quiet along the blockade line." It is said that the life of a modern steel gun is but 100 shots. That is un fortunate, since Dewey cannot be every where at once. The Spanish squadron which is to capture Dewey will have an advantage over Sampson and Schley. Its com mander will know where to find him. In the new dictionary the word fleet should be defined: a flock of Spanish ships which fly about the ocean and decline to permit salt to be put on their tails. In Philadelphia the council has been asked to appropriate $600 to pay the expenses of the graduating class of the girls' high school. They will furnish their own bouquets and -white dresses. The managers of the Omaha exposi tion have agreed to a division of time with the churches. The show gets the afternoons and the churches the early part of the day on Sundays. One characteristic of the cowboys who enter largely into the composition of Col. Roosevelt's Rough Riders, and one which is likely to prove disagreeable to the Spaniards, is that they don't know how to stop shooting as long as their ammunition lasts. Photographs of the monitor Monterey show that when this formidable vessel is going at full speed the water covers the entire fore part of the craft up to the first barbette. Seen from the front or side the ship is merely a couple of steel barbettes1 of tremendous strength, with a limited area of upper works and a big smoke stack between them. When ready for a fight she admits water into submerging tanks and goes down until the hull offers no target for a hostile gun. "When going at full speed or fighting after full preparations the Monterey is comparatively safe from attack. In the matter of offense she is powerful, her two twelve-inch and two ten-Inch guns being capable of enor mous execution. It has been charged that the Monterey is unseaworthy but her present and former commanders are confident that she will ride through all storms and turn up at Manila in condition to give Dewey invaluable as sistance. EX-BATS. Arkansas City Traveler: When the war is over there will be quite a num ber of good Spaniards gone to join the good Indians. Wichita Beacon: It is becoming al most a daily occurrence for a man to shoot his wife or some other woman, and then to kill himself. It is believed "hat his final act is inspired by the fear that if he is tried for his life, the jury will acquit him.

Wichita Beacon: If England really stands Europe off and helps us in this fight, she will be allowed to retain Ire land for a month or two longer.

Executive ability is the faculty of getting some one to do your work. Most men tell a woman she is the only one he ever loved merely from force of habit. There seems to be no place like home for the charity that begins there, as It seldom gets any farther. An old bachelor says women love three times; the first is accidental, the second design, and the third despair. KOT AN EASY TASK. Invasion of Cuba Will Meet With De termined Resistance. Key West, May 28. The feeling here in well informed naval circles is rapidly changing regarding the resistance to be expected from the Spaniards in the im pendinsr occupation of Cuba and upon other matters of vital import. Every expedition which returns from Cuba to this base helps to dispel the belief that the Spaniards are Dy any means neg lecting to take every precaution for a long and determined resistance. It has been circulated that the Span iards are short of ammunition, especial ly powder, when as a matter of fact it is known here that there is a large pow der factory running night and day and turning out both smokeless and black powder. The use of the smokeless powder is proving of great advantage to the Spaniards. The land patrol of the Cuban coast is excellent, while the fleet of torpedo boats stationed at different points along the coast is both larger in number and in size than at first calculated. The army of occupation will have to en counter, it is claimed by a foreign resi dent of Havana now in Key West, and who, although being a Spanish partisan, appears to possess reliable information on the subject, a force of acclimated, well-drilled Spaniards of not less than 120.000 men. This man is In constant cable communication with Cuba. Re cently he was asked whether the re ports that Havana was becoming so short of provisions were believed. He replied: "No; but I can easily find out and let you know." He wrote a dispatch to one of the sec retaries of Gen. Blanco, addressing him, not in his official capacity, but in that of a practicing physician of Havana. It was to this effect: "How are Mary and children doing; have they all they want?" The reply he showed read: "'Doing well; enough for months yet." The same authority claims that the guns of Havana fortifications are in charge of German, French and English officers, whose services had been se cured before he left the island. The same information is obtained from the correspondent of the London Times here, who only left Cuba a few days previous to the declaration of war. This man accompanied the Gussie expediton and pointed out to the commander the exact position of the powder factory, which he himself had inspected during his stay on the island. He also corrob orates the figures regarding the strength of the Spanish forces, the ex cellence of the Spanish coast patrol, and he expresses the belief that Havana can hold out for months yet, in so far as the question of provisions is concerned. One hears considerable criticism re garding the doings of the executive of ficers of the navy yard here, the fail ure of the government to supply col liers to accompany the fleet of the blockading squadron, and so forth, but all this is entirely uncalled for. The work being done here by the navy yard is excellent; the men are wotking night and day; every requisition is filled promptly and satisfactorily. The of ficers of the fleet are high in their prais es regarding the work of the shore men. The coaling is done most rapidly, the New York recently having filled her bunkers up at the rate of seventy-five tons an hour, and the advisability or even possibility of coaling the large fleet at sea is questioned. MOXTIJO A HERO. Dewey's Tribute to the Spanish, Ad miral Who Fought Him. Washington, May 28. An officer who was Admiral Dewey's classmate has received a most interesting letter from I the distinguished sailor, dated off Ma nila." After modestly speaking of the fight, of the admirable gun practice dis played by all his gun crews, Dewey says: "As we moved past Corregidor, the Olympia being in advance, suddenly, not 50 yards to the right, there was a muffled roar, and a column of water shot upward 30 or 40 feet high. In a moment another to my left. 'So the place is mined,' I said to Lamberton. Just then I recalled what Farragut eaid to Drayton, of the Hartford, in Mobile Bay, when the monitor Tecum seh blew up, torpedoed, very near the old flagship. Drayton looked a little uneasy, almost any man would at that time and place, when Farragut roared out through his trumpet: 'D the torpedoes: signal fleet to follow me.' I signaled the fleet to follow, and it did, most gallantly. "I opened on the Spanish flagship, Maria Cristina, with my 8-inch guns at 5,800 yards. Every shot took effect.The Spanish Admiral Montijo fought his ships like a hero. He stood on his quarter-deck until his ship was ablaze from stem to stern and absolutely sinking under his feet, then transfer ring his flag to the Isle de Cuba, he fought what was left of his fleet, stand ing fearlessly amid a hail of shrapnel until his second ship and over 100 of her crew sank in a whirl of water like lead! "It seems to me that history In its roll of heroes should make mention of an admiral who could fight his ships so bravely and stand on the bridge, coolly and calmly, when his fleet Captain was torn to pieces by one of our shells at his side. I sent him a message telling him how I appreciated the gallantry with which he had fought his ships, and the deep admiration my officers and men felt for the commander of the Maria Cristina, who nailed his colors to his mast and then went down with his gallant crew. I think, my dear Norton, that had you witnessed this, as I did, you too would have sent the brave sail or the message I caused to be sent him, to which he responded most courteous ly."

THIS WAR IS JUST. Henry Watterson's Most Eloquent Words at Lexington's Military Celebration. Lexington, May 28. Ten thousand people visited Lexington to witness the civic and military pageant, followed by a review by Governor Bradley of the companies of troops there yester day. When the parade and review were ended, 300 school children sank "Amer ica." W. C. P. Breckinridge then in troduced Mr. Watterson, who was giv en an ovation. He said in part: "You are about to make history. It may prove that this will not be history merely repeating itself. For the first time since the Crusades war has been levied for no cause of a purely mater ial kind, and with no selfish purpose. I scarcely like the shibboleth. 'Remem ber the Maine.' It seems to me too re vengeful to be quite worthy. I do not forget the circumstance to which it owes its origin. The scene of that awful tragedy under the shadow of Morro Castle is yet before my eyes. I can see, as I close them, the very faces of our murdered sailors with the ghastli ness of death upon them. But I also see the myriads of starving men, wo men and children, ruthlessly sacrificed to feed the lust and to fill the pockets of professional plunderers masquerad ing in Cuba as Spanish officers and gentlemen. Behind them I see three centuries of wanton pillage, of frightful corruption, of cruelty unsurpassed in human annals. The time was long ago for some great power to stretch forth its hand, to interpose its authority, and to say to the world, 'this barbarism shall proceed no further.' Which pow er except that of the United States was to do this? Cuba is our next door neighbor. Time out of mind these atrocities have been perpetrated before our eyes. While Spain has required us to spend millions of money policing our coasts against the filibusters, she has shown herself unable, or unwilling, in our protection, to police one of her own harbors. Was this to go on forever? You yourselves are the answer to the question. You are going to fight a battle waged by man for man. You are going therefore in the name of that Christ who died for men. You are going to fight a battle for the glory of God and your native land. You are going.there- fore, under a flag, which, the symbol at once of freedom and humanity.and hav ing God's blessing upon it, has never yet known defeat. Look to it that you carry yourselves as soldiers equally of the cross and of the flag. I believe in this war. I believe in it with all my mind and with all my soul. A neighbor of mine came to me last week to ask me to exert my sup posed influence in getting his son a commission. 1 assured mm that I have no influence. 'But,' said I, 'I have two sons carrying muskets in the ranks sons whom I dearly love but for whose advancement I shall not put forth the slightest effort. It is enough for me to know that they are serving their coun try and if.it pleases God to bring them back to their mother and me safe and sound, I shall bless His name as long as I live. "In that prayer let me Include each and every one of you; though I would rather see my boys, and each and eve ry one of you, lying by the side of that brave and lovely sailor lad whom North Carolina has just given up as heaven's first sacrifice upon the altar of the nation and mankind, than that one feather should be plucked from the eagle's wing, or a syllable of reproach be justly cast upon the name and fame of our dear Kentucky." COMPLETE THE "BOTTLE." New Yorker Wants the Entrance to Santiago Harbor Filled Up. New York, May 28. George Parsons of 1033 Madison avenue, who Is the largest stockholder in the large iron mine near Santiago de Cuba, has sug gested to the president a method for bottling up the Spanish fleet in Santi ago harbor, and has offered the govern ment the use of his mine to put it into practice. Mr. Parsons' plan is to sink several old ships or scows laden with iron ore in the entrance to Santiago harbor.thus effectually closing it. When the arriv al of the Spanish fleet at Santiago was announced last Saturday Mr. Parsons wrote to "Washington offering the gov ernment the privilege of taking all the ore needed from his mine. He has not received any reply. The mine is about ZO miles east or. Santiago and three miles from the coast.lt is connected with the wharves on the coast by a railway, and the wa ter is deep enough to accommodate warships. Mr. Parsons' plan is to load old vessels with ore at the wharves near the mine, take them to Santiago and sink them in the channel at the en trance to the harbor. TO PROTECT MINES. Congress Urged to Example All Re fractory Vessels. New York. May 28 Rear Admiral Erben has written a letter to President McKinley urging the prompt enact ment of a law providing a penalty for vessels that cross mine fields or other wise disregard instructions given them by the captains of patrol boats. At present there is no way of punish ing owners of vessels whose craft dis arrange and destroy the submarine de fenses of this and other harbors. A bill was drafted two weeks ago under the direction of Major General Wesley Merritt and sent to Washington. Noth ing has been heard of the bill since. Rear Admiral Erben said today that as soon as the bill appropriating $3,000, 000 for the inner line of coast defense, which passed the house and went to the president, becomes a law, active work in building up what is known as the mosquito fleet will be begun.

George Hartung of Junction City Accidentally Killed. Hutchinson, May 28. There was a merry little scene at police court yes terday evening which attracted a good many spectators. The second cook of one of the hotels here was arrested for assaulting one of the waiter girls. The girls were present In pretty white dresses and police court looked like commencement exercises were on.

FORGER AT OTTAWA. Works Milliners for Small Amounts of Money. Ottawa, May 28. Thursday a well dressed young man went into Mrs. E. T. Bird's millinery store and ordered a lady's hat, saying he would call later in the day and get it, as he had some grain at the Crane mill. Later, the same man ordered a $3 hat from Miss Hanes, telling the same story. After 5 o'clock he appeared at Mrs. Bird's and got his purchase, paying1 for it with a $9.75 check on the First National bank, signed by H. D.. Crane Co. He re ceived the change. He went to Miss Hanes and did the same thing with an other check for $9.75 similarly signed. The checks were presented to the bank today for payment and it was discovered that H. D. Crane Co. did no business at this particular bank and the checks were a piece of forgery. Sheriff Church was at once notified and is now in possession of the forged checks. The young man appeared to be about 30 years of age, slender and dressed in a good suit of brown clothes, as re membered by those who saw him. The signature is in a large hand, but shows signs of nervousness. SCHOOL TEACHERS SCARCE. War and Difficult Examinations De plete Reno County. Hutchinson, May 28. County Super intendent I. L. Dayhoff is authority for the statement that there will be a dearth of teachers in Reno county this year. There are several causes for this scarcity, the main one being the raising of the standard and the harder exami nations. Another reason is that several of the male teachers enlisted with the Twenty-first Kansas regiment,and,of course, will not return in time to take their schools even though the war should prove a short one. Superintendent Dayhoff is quite sure that the normal will not furnish enough teachers for the county schools. R.

The regular meeting of the TJ and I Flower mission will be held Tuesday afternoon at half past two at the home of Mrs. L. IL Munn at 315 Topeka avenue. "There has grot to be a change made in the board of directors of this Topeka Auditorium association," said Major T. J. Anderson today. "When a meeting is thoroughly advertised and less than half the members take enough interest to attend, there is something wrong. We want workers on that board and I am in favor of having a reorganization. The work can't be done by four or five men. It is wrong to expect it of them." This is the sentiment of others who are on the board of directors and have had the bulk of the work to do. The following is the membership of the board of directors of the Topeka Auditorium association: Edward Wilder, E. H. Crosby, Wil liam Green, J. S. Warner, W. C. Ste phenson, C. H. Xettels. W. H. Davis, T. J. Anderson, Otto Kuehne, J. W. Thurs ton, S. T. Howe, R. S. Brigham, Chas. P. Adams, M. C. Holman, M. D. Hen derson. F. M. Xewland, Thos. Page, A. K. Rodgers, A. M. Baird, H. XV. Xeis wagner. A. A. Godard, F. O. Popenoe, Chas. Wolff, C. S. Sutton, D. J. Green wald. At the meeting of the board of direct ors of the Auditorium association held last Wednesday evening there were but ten of the twenty-five members present. There were other citizens present who were willing to attend the meeting and help boom the auditorium. The fol lowing members were present Wednes day evening: E. H. Crosby, J. S. War ner, W. H. Davis, T. J. Anderson, Otto Kuehne, R. S. Brigham, Chas. P. Ad ams, M. C. Holman, M. D. Henderson and D. J. Greenwald. The meeting had been thoroughly advertised in the pa pers, and T. J. Anderson sent to each member of the board of directors a let ter announcing the meeting. This is the reason that Major T. J. Anderson says there should be a reor ganization of the board of directors and men put in who will work for the auditorium and not simply have their names on the membership list. The present time shows but little active work being done for the auditorium fund with the exception of the untir ing work being done by a few energetic members. If the entire board of direc tors could be made up of such men as E. H. Crosby,' T. J. Anderson. Otto Kuehne. R. S. Brigham. M. D. Hender son, J. S. Warner and D. J. Greenwald the fund would rapidly swell until the amount would be raised. This is a time when action Is required. The talk or reducing the size of the auditorium in order to decrease the cost is entirely out of the question, and it would be opposed by three-fourths of the citizens. The money can be raised if a united effort is made. If the board of directors isn't working unitedly, then there should be a reorganization. Surely no member of the board who has been derelict in his duty in the matter wants to obstruct the movement by his inac tion. Another meeting of the association will be held in the near future when decided steps will be taken. The people will be asked to make up the amount which yet lies unspoken It is a question of an auditorium or no auditorium. That Is certain t u j behooves the board of directors as a whole and individually to do some e-i- gantie and earnest rustling. TON IG IT WASHBURN TS. HASKELL.

Peter Oleson Arrested While Sitting in an Alley Last Night. Sitting on an old box back of the livery stable on Quiney street between Fifth and Sixth streets, with nothing to do but to play with marbles in his pocket and quiet ly think, and think, and think. Peter Ole son whiled away the hours yesterday even ing in simple enjoyment. Darkness came, but he did not change his position. From the uninviting surroundings about him Peter Oleson looked beyond and he en joved the great canopy of the sky. He said nothing, but sat still. Occasionally he pulled from his coat pocket four or five marbles and juggled them in his hand. His reverie was brought to a sudden end by the appearance of two tall policemen, who were making a round through the alleys. They halted and asked Oleson what he was doing. He replied that he was doing nothing. That was an unfor tunate speech to make to a policeman. It was then after midnight, and for a man to be sitting on a box in a downtown alley was suspicious. So Oleson was marched to the police station and locked up. The charge placed against him was that of in sanity. Todav at the city jail Oleson said in hroken English: "I have lived on a farm for a long time. I came to this country nine years ago. The last few weeks I have been staying at Mr. Turner's house in Oakland. I wasn't doing anything last night. I was sitting still and they ar rested me for being out late. I found these marbles and I played with them on Sunday. I didn't play for keeps', though." Oleson seems to be afflicted with a form of melancholia. He is 23 years of age. NORTH TOPEKA.

The Memorial day exercises of the Quincy school yesterday afternoon were of a very Interesting- character. About a week ago, J. W.

Hudson, who responded to the call, ex pressed a desire to have all the chil dren together and the Presbyterian church was secured for this occasion. This meeting was not made generally known as the church would not accom modate many visitors, but a special in vitation was given to the old soldiers and the members of Blue post to at tend. The exercises at the church com menced at 3 o'clock. W. H. Wright, principal of the school, led in the singr ing of several patriotic songs, which with recitations and readings occupied the first half hour.

II WATCHJU BOSC. Two United States Detectives Arrire at Montreal And Will Keep an Eye on Emis saries of Spain. SPANIARD IS DEFIANT. Intimates That He AVill Stay as Long as He Likes. Has Been Cabling Information to the Home fiovernment. New York, May 28. A dispatch to the Herald from Montreal says: Two additional United "State? secret service detectives have arrived here and a close watch is being kept on the Spanish consulate and the Spariords. It is evident that Senor Polo considered it vitally Important to leave capable and trustworthy agents behind and this city or Quebec was the best. There are several hot heads in Quohc pro vince, who always side with trance. Their leaders frequently visit M'quelon and St. Fierre and the French coast settlements of Newfoundland. In this way, Senor Du Eosc can obtain all the Information he desires relative to coal for the Spanish fleet. Canadian secret service agents report that some of the statT of Senor Polo left the steamer at Rimouski. one going to Nova Scotia, and the other going back toward Quebec city. These agents say they located Senor Du Busc and Car ranza in private apartments in this city. Both men might easily pass as well to do Frenchmen, and might have remained unobserved for months had not the government been anxious to lo cate them. Senor Du Pose and Lieutenant Car ranza are quietly and comfortably set tled at No. 42 Tupper street, this city. "I can't understand," Senor Du Bosc said, "why proprietors of certain jour nals allow their columns to be used for printing such scurrilous matter as that which has been sent from this city. In one case a reporter described how he followed me to the steamship Doininion and was on my heels when I left it at Quebec. All these stories were a tissue of falsehoods. When Senor Pclo and those who accompanied him were ready to leave Lieutenant Carranza and I took a cab and drove from the Windsor here and with the exception of an oc casional walk, we have not been out of the house." "May ask why you are staying be hind?" '"Simply because I think that Its best that I should. I am enjoying myself, but if perchance I can help my country in any way, I shall certainly do so. These stories of spies, of thousands of dollars worth of cablegrams, of hun dreds of letters, are perfect no. sens?. We have sent some cables, but ti.e e was nothing of grave importance in them. I cannot tell you exactly how long I shall stay." IOWA BANKERS MEET. Appropriate Money to Prosecute For gers and Defaulters. Mason City, la.. May 28. The Iowa Bankers' association is holding its annual meeting here. Members are in attendance from all parts of the state.

The state is di vided into nine groups. The members were given an excursion to Clear lake on the electric railway and a banquet at the ar mory and a royal welcome by the citizens of Mason city.

Washington, Hay 28. The possibility that the balloon can be made a useful adjunct of the war Is suggested by the problem that confronts Commodore Schley If Admiral Cervera Is really "bottled up" In Santiago harbor. A. practical way of ascertaining that fact beyond all doubt was suggested to day would be to send up a balloon from one of the war ships which are sup posed to be at the mouth of the har bor on a tour of observation. This it is believed could readily be done with out any great risk or danger to the persons In the airship. The signal office has a ballon equip ment but it could not be ascertained that any of the vessels of the fleet are furnished with it. From the experience of the past there would be no trouble in inflating a balloon which soaring at an elevation of 1,000 feet or more could have ample opportunity of observing the entire stretch of country surround ing Santiago harbor, or of detecting the strength of the Spanish squadron and of noting with considerable detail all the fortification works on either side of the harbor leading to the city. Such information as might be obtained, It is pointed out, would be of Inestimable value to the American fleet and enable it to act intelligently in determining what future operations were dtsirable; balloons have -been tried with more or less success in European countries In army operations, although it is not stated whether they have ever been put to practical use in actual warfare. However, experience abroad has shown that when high in the air, they are practically free from the guns of the opposing force as it is with the greatest difficulty that an accurate range of their height can be obtained and even then specially constructed weapons are needed for destroying them, the pos session of which it is thought here the Spaniards do not have.

In the senate today Marshal Primo de Rivera, former cap tain general of the Philippines, defend ed his administration of the colony. He said he could not believe his ears, when he was told of the disaster at Cavlte, adding. "That rag called the American flag shall never float over the walls of Manila- "The Philippines," he continued, "had not had an adequate means of defense." He appealed to the government to sup ly them; but the government replied that the pope had intervened and that there was no fear of a rupture. The naval committee at Manila examined Into the position carefully and reached the conclusion that it was q.uite impos- i sible to offer battle to the Americans. "The Yankees are deceiving them- selves," Marshal de Rivera declared, j "as to the situation at the Philippines. It is absolutely impossible that they j should become masters of the islands, 1 for the natives, to an immense majority are determined to defend the territory to the last and to maintain Spanish, sovereignty." Captain Aunon, minister of marine, said it was inopportune to discuss the war at present. He had neither ap proval nor disapproval to express of Marshal de Rivera's administration, but he considered it necessary to exer cise a certain reserve in the interest of the country. In the chamber of deputies, Senor Romero Giron, the minister of the col onies, replying to questions, respecting the authorization given the governor of the Philippines to concede administra- 1 tive reform, said Captain General Au gusti has been authorized to act in the manner he deemed most desirable to draw the natives to the Spanish side. INSURANCE BY THE STATE. One of the Recommendations in Supt. McNall's Report The most Important recommendation made by Commissioner MeNall in his annual report is one for state fire in surance. In reference to this he says: "I would further recommend that the legislature provide for state fire insur ance, the same to be under the control of the insurance department. To il lustrate: When the township trustees assess the property, direct them to take the applications of the various individ uals in their respective townships or cities, giving the amount of fire insur ance they desire to carry, the length of time (the classification and rates hav ing been prepared prior to this time by the insurance department, based upon the statistics in this office of the fire insurance companies doing business in the state during the last preceding year), etc. At all other times the ap plication can be made to the county clerk. Money can be appropriated from the general fund, to be placed in an insurance fund, until such time as the amount collected is sufficient to pay the running expenses, including losses Incurred, and then the same can be re turned, the money to be collected by taxation the same as other taxes. "If legislation of this kind is enacted In my judgment it will have this result: Parties who receive the benefits of in surance of this kind will obtain the same for at least half what they now pay, and it will compel insurance com panies to furnish insurance at actual cost, or lose the entire business. This is clearly proven by statistics furnished by insurance companies transacting business in this state, taking into con sideration the amount of premiums they receive and the amount of losses they pay each year. It would retain the money at home instead of sending it abroad." He also recommends legislation plac ing fraternal insurance companies on the same basis as other insurance companies, and rendering void all poli cies written by insurance companies not authorized to do business in the state. COLORED SILTERITES. State Convention Will Be Held in Topeka June 14. The annual state convention of the Colored Free Silver league will be held In Topeka June 14. The official call for the convention was issued today by President J. R. Lytle and Secretary J. B. Gibbs.

Nothing Else Now Remains to End the Battle Which Has Been Fought So Hotly For Days Past. BOTH ARE CONFIDENT. Seaton People Play Their Last j Card and Lose. Polls Will Be Kept Open Till 7 O'clock. Tou can vote any time before 7 o'clock this evening. Don't neglect the opportunity. The fight between the Seaton and anti-Seaton factions will practically end at 7 o'clock this evening. Just now the roar of battle is in the air and both sides are anxiously waiting the re sult. The Seaton organization put the fin ishing touches on the campaign this forenoon when the workers flocked in for supplies and instructions. Not a single polling place will be neglected. There are workers everywhere and no man who is eligible to vote is neglect ed. For two days trusted men have made circuits of the city, pleading with the doubtful voters and strengthening the spinal column of the weak ones. Ail has been done that could be done and the crowd that wins the fight must say that the battle has not been an easy one. The final efforts of the Seaton people were in the direction of breaking down the delegations put forward by the anti-Seaton forces but the effort was a failure. The anti-Seaton tickets in all the wards stand as they did originally. Not a name has been withdrawn. Both sides appear confident. Mr.Sea ton said at noon that he had no fear of the result and John Chaney and other workers for the opposition said that they felt certain that the result will be an anti-Seaton victory. This is the us ual method of politicians to claim everything and keep up an easy air of confidence to the last. The anti-Seaton forces claim that there is no doubt about the "anti-ticket" winning: in the First, Third and Fourth wards, while the Second and Fifth are regarded as doubtful. This would give the anti-Seaton forces a good working majority in the county convention unless the country should be carried solidly for Seaton, which is not likely. The Seaton workers claim that there is no doubt about their victory in the First, Second and Fifth wards and they are concentrating their fire on the Third and Fourth wards. They claim that with the Third and Fourth wards lost to them they will still carry enough country precincts to control the con vention. The polling places will be kept open until 7 o'clock this evening and no Re publican should fail to vote. The re turns will be received at the office of Phillips Chaney, on the first floor of the Columbian building and the Seaton headquarters will also be kept open. Following is a list of polling places: FIRST WARD 16 DELEGATES. First precinct, 1012 Kansas avenue; W. E. Fagan. Second precinct, Marshall's shop, Laurent street; Frank Beach. Third precinct, corner Grant and To peka avenue; A. C. Hale. SECOND WARD 19 DELEGATES. West precinct (all west of railrca.d) Fourth and Madison; C. D. Watson. East precinct (all east of railroad) Fourth and Lake streets; J. D. Cod dington. THIRD WARD 26 DELEGATES. West precinct (all west of Western avenue), corner King: and Clay streets; A. Jordan. East precinct (all east of Western avenue), 928 Kansas avenue; H. F. Bird. FOURTH WARD 22 DELEGATES. West precinct (all west of Taylor), corner Sixth and Western avenue; John T. Chaney. East precinct (all east of Taylor), Rain's barn: W. R. Adams. FIFTH WARD 9 DELEGATES. West precinct (all west of Kansas avenue), Seventeenth and Topeka ave nue; J. F. Snyder. East precinct (all east of Kansas avenue). Tenth and Adams; A. Hardy. MUST BE DESPERATE. Anti-Seaton Men Grossly Misrepre sented. The Seaton forces must be growing desperate when they deliberately mis state the position of delegates through their organ, the morning Capital. That paper says that P. I. Bonebrake and Frank Bonebrake whose names ap pear on the anti-Seaton ticket, did not agree to have their names placed on the ticket. P. I. Bonebrake said today: "I want it known that I am in favor of Major Hood as against the world and am not in favor of Seaton or any other candi date. I want it distinctly understood that I stand in that position and I am not opposed to having my name o the anti-Seaton ticket as a delegate." Mr. Bonebrake was consulted by the committee before his name was printed on the ticket and agreed to serve as a delegate if elected on the anti-Seaton ticket. Frank Bonebrake said: "Some Cap ital man came to see me and asked me if I consented that my name be placed on the anti-Seaton ticket. I told him that I had not consented but that I did not object to it. He asked me if I was going to allow my name to remain on the ticket and I said that I was for Hood and against Seaton and did not object to being on the delegation op posed to Seaton. I am for Major Hood and I suppose that was known when I was placed on the delegation." Frank Bonebrake will remain with the anti-Seaton forces to the last, and said that he will serve as a delegate if elected. Carl Lawson, who is also quoted, said: "I never said that my name was used without my consent. I am aaginst Seaton." Another example of their methods is the assertion that John Seaton favored the auditorium and Representative Ed McKeever is given as authority. It was Representative McKeever who gave the Journal the facts about John Seaton's opposition to the audi torium. He said today that when the Seaton men came to him for an inter view he told them that he could not give them any comfort. The fact remains as Mr. McKeever says that John Seaton made the only speech in opposition to the Topeka auditorium that was made in the leg islature and he said, according to Mr. McKeever, that Topeka had enough balls and opera houses already.

In the northern transept of Westminster Abbey where England's greatest dead rest, the body of the late William Ewart Gladstone was entombed today with the ceremon ies of the nation he had served and of the church he had loved. His grave is beside that of his life long adversary. Benjamin Disraeli, (Lord Beaconsfleld), whose marble ef figy looks down upon it decked with the regalia which Gladstone had refused. Two possible future kings of Great Britain walked beside the great com moner's coffin and all the nobility and learning of the state surrounded it, though the wish of the deceased had been for simplicity. This official funeral, the first since that of Lord Palmerston, was rendered an Imposing spectacle by the magnif icence of the building in which it was solemnized. The coffin rested on an el evated bier, before the altar, its plain ness hidden beneath a pall of white and gold. Six tall candles burned beside it and on either side stood the supporters of the pall. The Prince of Wales and the Duke of Tork were at the head of the coffin and ranging behind them were the Marquis of Salisbury, Earl of Kim berly, A. J. Balfour, Sir William Ver non Harcourt, Lord Rosebery and Mr. Gladstone's two old time friends, Baron Rendel and George Armlstead. Within the chancel stood the dean of Westminster and behind him were gathered the cathedral clergy, the arch bishop of Canterbury and the scarlet and white surpliced chair, filling the chapel. The mourners who sat in the stalls nearest to the bier were Mrs. Glad stone, her sons Herbert and Stephen and other members of the family with little Dorothy Drew, Mr. Gladstone's favorite grandchild. The Princess of Wales and the Duch ess of York, occupied the dean's pew opposite. In tiers of temporary seats in the north and south transepts were assem bled the members of the two houses of parliament, the mayors of principal cit ies, delegates from liberal organizations and representatives of other civic and political organizations, while the long nave was crowded with thousands of men and women, among them being most of the celebrities in all branches of English life and every gallery, bal cony and niche high up among the rafters held a cluster of deeply inter ested spectators. In all 2,500 persons were assembled in the abbey all cloth ed in the deepest black, save a few of ficials, whose regalia gleamed brilliant ly from this sombre back ground. Thousands thronged the square out side in order to witness the passage of the funeral procession from Westmin ster hall. A double line of 500 policemen kept an open passage for the funeral cortege. The chief officials had assembled in Westminster hall at 10 o'clock this morning. The bishop of London, the Right Rev. Mandel Creighton, D. D., read a brief prayer there and at 10:30 o'clock, the procession was formed and slowly passed through the great crowds and along the short pathway.a distance of 300 yards to the western entrance of the abbey, between two ranks of the Eton volunteers in their buff uniforms. WORM HAS TURNED. Fitzhugh Lee, Compelled to Leave Cuba, "Will Force the Routers Out Richmond, Va., May 2S. Dispatches from points in Virginia and North Caro lina say that Major General Lee, who .eft here yesterday for Tampa, received a warm welcome at every place along the route. At Greensboro. N. C where the train stopped five minutes. General Lee re sponded to calls and made a brief speech, in which he said: "I spent two vears in Cuba and was run out. Now I am going back to run some bod v else out." The crowd applauded these words vo ciferously. WILL PAY IT BACK. Government Will Reimburse the State at Once. Governor Leedy has received in formation from Washington that the government will reimburse the state for the money expended for the first three Kansas regiments next week. Over $15,000 was paid out in recruiting and caring for the volunteers of the three regiments, and only a little over J4.000 now remains in the hands of the state treasurer for military purposes. The reimbursement by the govern ment for the first expense will enable the state to raise the other two regi ments. The money now on hand is not sufficient to defray the expense. Democratic Convention. The Democratic county convention is be ing held this afternoon at Hamilton hall to select delegates to the state convention in Atchison on June 15. Eleven delegates will be chosen from this county. Reso lutions will be adopted indorsing the pres ent state administration. The Shawnee county Democrats will praise Governor Leedy. a Populist executive, while the Populists of the county at their conven- i tion two weeks ago denounced biir J T, THIS IS A UNIQUE METHOD. How the Klondike People Read the State Journal's News. The mail contractors will not carry newspapers over the trail and passes into the Klondike country and yet there are a great number of Topeka and Kansas people in that part of the coun try anxious to read the State Journal. Mr. W. W. Culver, of the firm of Cul ver Bailey of this city, is an expert amateur photographer and has a brother, W. S. Culver, in Klondike. The idea was conceived that the State Jour nal could be photographed, reduced in size, and the pages thus photographed mailed as a letter and the articles read by the means of a magnifying glass. It costs 25 cents to carry a letter over the trail. Mr. W. W. Culver has solved the problem by photographing pages of the State Journal containing important news and making blue prints from the negatives. Mr. Culver has photographed and sent in this manner 20 or 30 different portions of several issues of the State Journal. One of the pages photo graphed was the first page of May 7th, containing the first news from Dewey. This page was reduced to the size of 7 inches by 6 inches. The type shows as smaller than that of any manufac tured, but the letters are so distinct that they can be read with the naked eye, although the magnifying glass is necessary where one undertakes to read much of it. FLANAGAN CONVICTED. Case Has Been Dragging Along for a Year and a Half. Atlanta. Ga., May 28. The jury in the case of Edward C. Flanagan today re turned a verdict of guilty and the mur derer was sentenced to be hanged June 21. Flanagan is over 40 and was in love with the 11-year-old daughter of F. C. Allen, and, possessed of the idea that the family was persecuting him, he opened fire on them while they were at supper on De cember 31. 1S96. killing old Mrs. Allen, the grandmother, and Miss Ruth Black, a visitor. Two other members of the fam ily were wounded. This was tho third trial of the case. IN MEMORY OF BELLAMY. Memorial Services Will Be Held in the Senate Chamber Tomorrow. Tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock, in the senate chamber at the state house, there will be a memorial meeting in honor of the late Edward Bellamy. Chief Justice Doster, Judge Allen, Mrs. Annie L. Diggs, G. C. Clemens, Rev. C. M. Sheldon and Mrs. Althea Briggs Stry ker will speak. The meeting is open to the public. UNTIL NEXT WEEK. Detailed Call for Troops Not Yet Pre pared. Washington, May 28. The statement was made at the war department that the call on the governors of the states for their apportionment of troops under the second call would not be issued until some time next week. There are many details that remain to be agreed upon before the call is made, and besides there is con siderable work to be done in connection with the equipment. assignments of troops under the first call for 125,000 men. It is understood that no final decision has yet been reached as to the precise manner in which trooDS under the second call are to be raised, or whether the 106 regiments or volunteers already mustered shall be recruited to their maximum strength before any other new regiments are organized. Army officers contend that this should be done as a matter of efficiency, and that section seven of the volunteer act requires it. FANCY GROCERIES. Soldiers Who Have Money May Pro cure Luxuries. St. Louis, May 28. Immense purchases of fancy groceries have been made for the army in the South by Captain Duval, commissary of supplies stationed In this city. The orders placed aggregate $5X000. and the goods will be shipped as fast as possible to Chattanooga. While these or ders were placed by the government through its commissary officer here, the goods will not be delivered to the soldiers as nnrt of their regular rations. They will be sold to the officers and men at cost price as extras for their mess. SOCIETY LEADER SUED. H. Chatfield Taylor's Brother-in-Law Failed to Pay His Rent. Chicago, May 27. After a delay of six years, the suit of Miss M. V. O'Neill against Adolph Keitel for $62.86 room rent came to an issue in Justice White's court yesterday, when the plaintiff re ceived judgment for the full amount by default. Miss O'Neill is the sister of Mrs. John Cudahy, wife of the mil lionaire packer. Owing to the prominence of both par ties, the case has caused no end to gossip in social circles. Attorney Jos ephson appeared for the plaintiff and opened the case by stating that the debt was contracted six years ago while the defendant boarded in the O'Neill residence at 2963 Wabash ave nue. Mr. Keitel did not appear in court during the proceedings and made no reply- The defendant subsequently married a sister of Mr. Chatfield Tay lor and is prominent in society. He lived for some time at 6226 Kimbark avenue, but has since moved to Evan ton. Miss O'Neill still resides at 2963 Wabash avenue. P. C ulley 631 Kansas Avenue. HENRY YREELAND DEAD. Father of Sirs.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT. Furnished by the Associated Press to the State Journal. Chicago, May 28. WHEAT The crop news was very bear ish for wheat today and the market showed a downward tendency. The weak ness was increased when It was found that Leiter was making no aggressive movement in May. Cudahy brokers were buyers and St. Louis sold on the arrival of the first car of new wheat from Texas. This was the earliest arrival of the new crop ever known. There were no cables for wheat from Liverpool, on account of the holiday abroad. Rece'.p'.s in the north west were 537 cars, against 537 cars last year. Chicago received 300 cars, compar ed with 17 the corresponding week last year. Although some agricultural au thorities are estimating that if the wea ther continues favorable the wheat crop of France wiil eas.ly reach 335,0 0 0J0 bushels. Reports from South Dakota are that dur ing the past ten days there has been mark ed improvement in the growing wheat crop, and the prospect was better than for several years. July opened llc lower at $1.04izl.05, sold up to $1.06. then down to $1,041, Up to $1.06 again and then back to $1.0J.

The stock market has maintained an undertone of remark able firmness during the week and has undergone a series of testings during that time by the opposing elements of the pro fessional traders. The early advance was largely manipulated and was aided by the manufacture of rumors of complete vic tory of the United States fleet over the Spnish fteeet. This bull campaign was largely directed against the short interest, which was known to be large, especially in London, where a periodical settlement has been in progress. When the reports of a decisive naval victory were discred ited and denied, the bears attempted to turn on their adversaries and break the market. They succeeded in working de clines in the few special stocks they at tacked, but the general market refused to respond and held firm. The undertone of strength has been aided by the large amount of stock which has been taken in odd lots for investment on divided pros pects. A number of the gilt-edge stocks with large surplus holdings in the Com pany's treasury have also advanced sharp ly, presumbably on inside knowledge of plans for the distribution of the surplus. Stocks bought in this manner are, in large part, withdrawn from the market instead of being held ready to market again at a turn in the price. The resulting reduction in the floating supply of stocks is a factor of strength in the market. The cheapness of money has become such as to awaken some disappointment, because the languid demand for funds does not reflect greater activity on the expansions. High prices for wheat have brought reserve supplies in other countries and have thus soothed the fears of foreign consumers of future needs. The resulting falling oft! of the grain export movement has in it the pos sibility of wide reaching effects in the financial morld. Kansas City Livestock Market. Kansas City, May 28.

After it had crossed par a good deal of scattered liquidation took place. It seems difficult for Wall street speculators to digest the vast significance of the sp:en did crop outlook of the United States and unusual profits at which wheat supplies are now being sold. There is no doubt that next week Rock Island stockholders will have declared to them a very hand some reward for their patience with re ceiving low returns in times of depression. The gas companies of Chicago were for so long the victims of political and specula tive blackmail and attack that it is hard for the average trader to realize the sta bility reached by the consolidation of the several companies into the People's Gas Light and Coke company.

President Ripley Says Time Will Tell Whether the Santa Fe Will Purchase the B. O. THE INSPECTION TOUR Engine No. 50 Novr on the Fast Mail. Washout Delays Traffic on the Bock Island. Just before starting on the trip over the Southern Kansas, President E. P. Ripley said: "Owing to the disastrous tunnel fire in Arizona the management of the San ta Fe will turn every energy towards the business of the lines now in hand. There is no truth in. the rumor that the Santa Fe contemplates the purchase of the B. O. It was a rumor that grew but the Santa Fe management will look after the lines now in hand without making any new additions." Asked if such a move would be made within a year, Mr. Ripley evaded the question, but said with a smile, after a brief deliberation: "Time will answer that question." A special train consisting of private cars 215, 217 and 218 and baggage car 662 left Topeka yesterday evening pulled by Engineer Chris McGinnis and Fireman Cliff Beeler bound for a trip over the Southern Kansas division. In the party were President E. P. Ripley, General Manager J. J. Frey, General Superintendent H. U. Mudge, Vice Pres ident E. D. Kenna, Vice President Paul Morton and others. The party will make an inspection of the Southern Kansas and the improve ments that have been made. The bag gage car on the train is one of the new 1 60 foot cars without platforms and it was attached to the rear of the train to give the party a chance to observe the running of the new car.

C. O. S. Ry., and family, of Clin ton, Mo., are at Wellington on a visit to T. E. Purdy and family. Mr. Hunt learned the railroad business under Agent Purdy while Mr. Purdy was de pot agent at Grenola nearly fourteen years ago. Two warmer friends than these two gentlemen would be hard to find. Three engineers on the Santa Fe are commencing to think of ice and ice wa ter for the coming hot months. Water kegs are being renovated and how to keep them supplied with ice is now worrying the men who ride on the en gines. Atchison Globe: It takes a very smart man to save money. The late W. F. White of the Santa Fe, who mar ried Miss Stringfellow of Atchison, wasted enough money during his life to have kept his family the balance of their days. From the day he first took a position with the road to the day of his death, he earned a large salary. His wife and daughter are now making dresses for a living, and will be com pelled to live a whole month on the sum that the family commonly spent during Mr. White's life in one day for pleasure.

Grant, which called on Governor Leedy Friday after noon and asked him to allow one of the regiments under the second call ta be made up of colored men, stated that there were now over 700 colored men organized In independent companies over the state. Governor Leedy told the delegation that it would be impossible to arrange to recruit a full regiment of colored men at this time, but that arrange ments might be made to give them representation by one or more com panies. UMBRELLAS MUST GO. Belvidere, I1L, Citizens Fight Spanish Colored Advertising Schemes. Belvidere, 111., May 28. The Intense feeling of patriotism has not diminished tn this city. While some of our brave boys have gone to the front to expel the Spanish from the Western Hemis phere, those that remain do not propose that the symbol of Spanish rule or treachery shall be exhibited among a free and independent people. The Bel videre Gun club has issued a notice through the Belvidere papers request ing that umbrellas painted in the Span ish colors. which some of the merchants here have supplied their wagons with, be kept off the streets in the future, and stating that if the request was not complied with measures would be im mediately taken to enforce it. The czar of Russia, so the story runs, has among his household an under study, singularly like him in appear ance, who shows himself at the win dows of railway carriages and the like when his imperial majesty does not wish to disturb himself.

STRIKE FOR A FLAG. Pittsburg lactory Sands Refuse to Work Unless Old Glory Floats. Pittsburg, Pa.. May 28. A patriotic strike is in progress at the glass factory of Hogan, Evans Co.. Twenty-second and Josephine streets. About 200 men and bovs are out. Three-fourth of them re fused to work because "Old Glory" did not wave over the factory. A number of former workmen at the plant are mem bers of the Fourth and Eighteenth regi ments now at camp Hastings. The men some time ago attempted to raise a sub scription for a flag, but were unsuccessful. Many employes said they could not afford to contribute. Yesterday there were a number of flag-raisings in the neighbor hood. The patriotic glass workers de cided that the factory would have a flag or there would be trouble. They stopped all work and notified the firm that the strike would continue until a flag is pur chased. PHILIPPINE GENERALS. Captain Charles King May Secure Material for New Novels. Washington, May 28. Adjutant General Corbin has announced that three of the brigadier generals appointed by the presi dent would be officially assigned as soon as the senate had confirmed their nomina tions, to command troops in the Philip pines. The generals selected for the Phil ippine expedition are George A. Garret son of Cleveland, O. Francis V. Greene of New York and Charles King of Wiscon sin. Late last evening General Merritt, who Is to be military governor of the Philippines, wired General Corbin request ing that General King be sent with him to the Philippines. The request was ap proved and forwarded to General King, and so becomes, to all intents and pur poses, a command. General King is the well known novelist and an ex-officer of the "United States army. Generals Garretson and Greene have al ready signified to the war department their acceptance of the orders to proceed to Manila. Both are experienced officers of marked ability. It is understood unofficially that Harri son Gray Otis, editor of the Los Angeles Times, who served with the president in the Twenty-third Ohio during the civil war, and who was nominated yesterday to be a brigadier general, will also go to the Philippines. Early next week another list of briga dier generals will be sent to the senate. The list will contain probably from eight to twelve names. All of the officers nom inated for brigadier generals will be from the southern states. MERRITT IN COMMAND. Has Established Headquarters and Will Supervise Matters in Person. San Francisco, May 28. General Mer ritt, who will command the American forces in the Philippines and who ar rived from Washington last night has established his headouarters in this city at the Palace hotelN He held a long conference with Major General Otis this morning, but will not divulge any of his plans for the future. General Otis tomorrow will take up his residence at Fort Richmond, and will have the volunteers now en camped there under his eye at all times. He will enforce strict discipline in the camps from now on. Today Captain Hooper received in structions from Washington ordering him to proceed to Manila by the next transport to assume command of the cutter Hugh McCulloch, to succeed Cap tain Hodgeson, who is ordered home. Arrangements have been made by General Otis for the establishment of a military hospital near the site of Fort Richmond. Tents will be erected for the sick soldiers and nurses will be al ways in attendance. There are many cases of measles and bronchial affec tions among the soldiers and the marine hospital, which has been used tempor arily is inadequate to the demands. It Is not expected here that the trans port fleet of five vessels which will make up the second expedition to go to Manila with reinforcements for Admiral Dewey will get away for at least ten days. The China arrived today from the orient and will not be turned over to the government until Monday next, the Colon is here and a force of men will be put to work on her at once to prepare her for the voy age. The Zealandia is being fitted up at her -ock, but the Centennial and Ohio will not arrive from Puget Sound for some days yet. It is generally un derstood that the five vessels will car ry 5,000 men, which will include the Pennsylvania, Colorado and Minnesota regiments, the Seventh regiment of this state and the Eighteenth and Twenty-third (regular) now enroute from New Orleans. The work of repairing the Philadel phia is being rushed at Mare island and she will doubtless convey Gen. Merritt and his staff to the Philippines. One good effect of Gen. Merritt's ad Vent has already been felt. He has or dered the troops not already supplied with proper equipment, be furnished at once with everything necessary to make tnem comtortable and ready for active service. ALL FOR THE ARMY. TJ. S. Postal Department Purnishing Improved Service. Washington, May 28. Six additional postal clerks have been detailed to the camp at Chickamauga, making twenty two in all at that camp. The mail is delivered there three or four times a day and as many as 25,000 letters have been delivered at one time. Three additional clerks have been ap pointed to serve at Camp Alger. It was found that considerable delay In the de livery of mail at camps resulted from the stoppage of mail wagons, by guards. These conveyances being of different characters are not easily recog nized as being in the service of the United States and hereafter mail de livery wagons of the regular type will be used for this purpose. Another innovation on account of the soldiers is a postmark stamp for use in the field .with movable type, so that the name of the locations of the camp can be easily changed on it as the troops moved from place to place. POR THOSE AT HOME. Revolutionary Daughters Issue an Appeal for Aid. Washington, May 28. At the regular May meeting of the national board of management of the national society of the Daughters of the American Revo lution, the following resolutions were adopted: Whereas, The president of the United States and the surgeons general of the army and. navy have recognized and approved the action of the national so ciety of the Daughters of the Ameri can Revolution in the service of the government, and WhereaST-fhe efforts of the Daugh ters of the American Revolution hospi- 1 tal corps have met with marked suc cess, and found a cordial response in every section of the society, and Whereas, The efforts of this hospital corps have quickened the desire for further work in this hour of our coun try's need, and Whereas, We are informed that the time is approaching when a large amount of money will be needed for special demands from sickness and oth- er causes consequent upon this strug gle by sea and by land. Therefore be it Resolved, That in addition to the work of the Daughters of the American Revolution hospital corps, every chap ter and every member at large of our national society. Daughters of the American Revolution be requested at once in a general effort to succor needy families of men who have gone to the front and to furnish comforts for sold iers and sailors, whether regular, or volunteer. Be it further Resolved, That all members of the national society Daughters of the American Revolution are strongly urged to immediate action for the ac cumulation of a large sum of money to be used in emergency and exigency calls of every kind, such as are attend ant upon the condition of a nation en gaged in worfare and in furtherance of this purpose, we would recommend that the interest of all parties be in voked in raising this fund to be known as the D. A. R. fund; and be it further Resolved, That a war committee com posed of the members of the national board of management with the addition of Mrs. George M. Sternberg and Mrs. Charles L. Alden be formed; that the treasurer general, National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution be elected treasurer of the war fund and that the moneys be under the au thority and direction of a sub-committee; and be it further Resolved, That we advise the raising of such an amount as will be commen surate with the spirit and aims of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Population Shows an Increase of 300 Over Last Yearf Lamed, Kan., May 28. From reports made by the township assessors of Pawnee county filed with the county clerk an increase of 300 in the popula tion is shown. These figures prove con clusively that the "short grass" coun try is now in a fair way to regain what she lost in the palmy boom days when every town was going to have a new railroad with general offices and street railways. The increase in population in this county at this time can be charged to the great wheat crop of last year and with a greater crop now in view the complete redemption of western Kan sas from the effects of the disastrous boom of several years ago can not be doubted. OSCAR II DETAINED. Norwegian Coaler Held in Philadel phia Harbor. Philadelphia, May 28. The TToTWeg ian steamer Oscar II. with a cargo of coal from Tampico, Mex., has been re fused clearance papers by the collector of the port, pending an investigation as to her destination which the new gov ernment regulations require. This is the second steamer with coal to be de- i tained this week. The first one, the German steamer Amrum, with coal for j "Vera Cruz, was released today. The captain 01 tne Amrum anu trie owners? of the cargo had to take an oath before she was released that the coal was for the Mexican railroad and that it would not be used, or delivered to Spaniards after it reached Vera Cruz.

The news from Calcutta says that the plague Is causing great alarm there. At Hong Kong, however, it is stated that there has been a great decrease in the number of fresh plague cases.

Harrison School Wins the Flag. A fine silk flag was yesterday present ed to Harrison school by the G. A. R. committee having in charge the rais ing of the money to pave the soldiers' plat roadway at Topeka cemetery. Harrison school raised $17 for the fund, which wa sthe highest amount raised by any school in the city. The high school raised $13.85.

The company will tender their services to the governor. No More Cavalry. Colorado Springs, Colo., May 28. The plan of raising a regiment of mounted riflemen has just been dropped on ac count of the receipt of the following tel egram from Senator Wolcott: Washington, May 27. Colonel Edgar T. Ensign, Colorado Springs, Colo.: Personal interview with the secretary of war. He absolutely refuses to ac cept more cavalry.

The following statement in regard to correspondence at the executive office was given out at the instance of Gov ernor Leedy today: "The rush of cor respondence is on again in the executive office. The clerical force is simply bur ied in letters and telegrams. It is ut terly out of the question to give an im mediate and personal reply to each let ter, but Mr. Lewis and Mr. Elliott go over the mail carefully and everything is done to bring matters to Governor i Leedy's attention without loss of time. The hundreds of personal applications i and delegations make such demands up I on the governor's time that it is out of I the question to give a personal answer to every one of the hundreds of communi cations which reach his office daily.

To furnish them good nourishing food is to supply the where with to build the little bodies into healthy and sturdy men and women. Parents who thoughtlessly give coffee to growing children will see the day when they would give anything on earth to be rid of the regret for the weakness and frequent sick spells of the children, caused by the alkaloids of coffee. Give the children Fostum Food Coffee, the famous food drink, which goes directly to nourish and strengthen child or adult .and when in after days you glory in their strength and ability, you can remember with pride that your intelligence and care about the food and drink in their child hood made the sturdy men and women they are. It is criminal to be careless. It rjavs well to give children nourish- ing liquid food like Postum. "GEN. MILES" CIGARS. New Brand for SoldiersCommissary Department Overwhelmed. Chicago, May 28. "This second call for troops comes at a rather inoppor tune time for us," said Major Smith of the commissary department when he heard of the president's call. "For many days we have been scouring the country for supplies for the men al ready in the field, and if we must now turn our attention to the equipping of additional forces as well hard work will be required. Because of our position in the largest supply market in the country the real work of supplying the army comes upon our shoulders. "Two large orders, received and filled today, give some idea of the quality of the supplies which are sent out by this department. Today we sent to Chick amauga 158,000 traveling rations, suit able only for the men in the field. These rations include corned beef, hard tack, canned beans and tomatoes and liquid coffee. The rations are put in the knapsacks of the men. From their num ber and their nature it seems to me that the men now in camp at Chicka mauga will soon be on their way to Cuba or some other scene of activity. "The second order which we are fill ing is that of sutler's stores for the men at Camp Thomas at Chickamauga. In this war the department is the deal er of luxuries. They buy them at cost and are thus saved from the clutches of the sutler, the bugbear of the sol diers in the civil war. In the following list are some of the things ordered to day: Six hundred pounds of tea. One hundred and fifty thousand ci gars. Forty-two thousand -brier and corn cob pipes. Forty thousand pounds of plug and smoking tobacco. Forty-two thousand cakes of soar. Ten thousand hand wash basins. One hundred and forty-four thousand boxes of matches. "Shoe blacking, shoe brushes, shoe laces, towels, can-openers and other useful articles by the thousand are j also included. All the things supplied j are of good quality, especially the ci gars. Among the brands ordered by the department was one which bears 1 the name of the commanding orticer or the army. That is certainly a compli- i ment to him. From now until the end j or tne war i v c 1 y 1 1 1 j win ti. sutler's stores." TO HOLD ISLANDS. Senator Morgan's Striking Amend ment to War Revenue BilL Washington, May 28. In the senate yesterday Mr. Morgan offered the fol lowing amendment to the war revenue measure: "When any of the islands of the At lantic or Pacific oceans are owned by the United States, or when they are occupied by the military or civil forces of the United States, as a result of war with Spain or as a necessary means of conducting such war to be determined by the president as the commander-in-chief of the army and navy of the United States, it shall be lawful and within his discretion, for the president to appoint a civil or military governor of such islands, or any group of such is lands with full authority under such rules and regulations as the president shall prescribe, not inconsistent with the laws of civilized warfare, to main tain good order and to protect the lives and property and the domestic peace of the people thereof. "And there shall be extended over such islands and enforced therein, such parts and provisions of the tax laws of the United States or of such islands, whether relating to customs duties or to international taxation as shall in the judgment and discretion of the presi dent be justly applicable to such islands during the existence of the war with Spain. "The currency of the United States whether of gold, silver or paper money, shall be a lawful tender in said islands so owned, or occupied in the same man ner and to the same extent as they are legal tender in the United States for the payment of all debts, public and private. "And the provisions of this act that relate to such islands together with such regulations as shall be made by order of the president for executing the same shall remain in force until the same are altered, amended or repealed by act of congress."

I took my bed with rheumatism nine months ago and the 'MYSTIC CURE' is the only medi cine that did me any good. I had five of the best physicians in the city, but I received very little relief from them. I know the 'MYSTIC CURE' to be what it is represented, and take pleasure in recommending it to other poor suffer ers." Sold by Swift Holliday, drug gists, 523 Kansas avenue, Topeka, Kan sas.

Watson's Livery. 7th and Van Buren, A Suffering' Soldier. ttiis veteran fought for his country; suflerea un told hardships, and returned with health splattered. Many a brave soldier has the same history. To-day this one rejoices in a new-found strength and tells his experience to benefit others. No man is better known and liked in that rich tier of Illinois counties, of which Peoria is the centre, than genial Chester S. Harrington, of Princeville, 111. Mr. Harrington is a veteran of the late war. Like many another brave soldier, he suffered not only during that service, but for years afterwards from diseases con tracted then. For years his health was shattered; his sufferings increased. He was unable to gain relief, but now he tells a story which is of profit to many t "I served three years in the 1 24th Illi nois, enlisting at Kewanee, IiL," said he. 44 I was in Libby Prison and suffered like many another Northern soldier. "The strain of army life did its work in undermining my health, although the col lapse did not come for sometime after. 44 For fifteen years I suffered from general debility and nervousness so badly that I could not sleep. Indigestion resulted and my misery increased. 44 My eyes began to fail, and as my body lost vitality my mind seemed to give way. I could scarcely remember events that hap pened but a few weeks before. For two years I was unfitted for busi ness. I was just able to creep around dur ing part of this time, and there were many times when I could not get up.

I bought a box and took the pills accord ing to instructions. ''Four days later I had the happiest hours I had known for years. That night I went to sleep easily and slept soundly as a child and awoke refreshed. "After I had taken four boxes of the pills, I found that I was cured and had also increased 27 pounds in weight. This greatly surprised my friends, who thought my case was a hopeless one. I be gan my work again and have continued ever since in excellent health. "Another valuable gain to me was, 'that while I was taking these pills I had been cured of the smoking habit, which had formed when I was a boyand had clung to me all these years. The craving for tobacco left me and I have never expe rienced it since. "I cannot say enough for these pills and have recommended them to many." To verify this statement Mr. Harrington made affidavit to its truthfulness before Lincoln M Coy, Notary Public Dr. Williams' Pink Pals for Pale People strike at the root of disease by acting di rectly upon the impure blood. Their power is marvelous and many wonderful cures have been made. Druggists consider them a potent remedv, and a'l sell them.
