J HEAVY FREIGHT TRAFFIC * THE LOADED-CAR MOVEMENT OF SIX MONTHS, ENDING JUNE 80. —* Tieket Scalpers More Cheerful—The Anti-Scalping Bill Shelved by Congress for the Present. Never in the history of Indianapolis railways have they done the freight business which they have enjoyed in the first half of the year 1898, it eclipsing all former records month by month. In the six months ending with June 30 there were received and forwarded, as shown by the official train sheets of the fifteen lines, 696,553 cars, 548,573 being loaded, an increase over the corresponding six months of 1897 of 83,427 loaded cars. The loaded car movement by months since Jan. 1 was as follows: January, 76,973; February, 94,449; March, 99,196; April, 91,788; May, 95,181; June, 90,986. It will be noticed that in March and May the movement was the heaviest, but in no month since January did it drop below 90,000 cars. In proportion to the number of loaded cars usually handled the Vandalia show’s the largest gains, and the Chicago division of the Big Four came next. The Pennsylvania lines, especially the north-and-south lines, showed remarkable increases in number of cars handled. Anti-Scalping; Bill. The anti-scalping bill, it is now settled, will not be passed this session of Congress, the statement coming from an official and reliable source, which further adds that the powerful lobby at Washington on both sides has been discontinued. The bureau has practically been under the supervision of Milton C. Roach, general Eastern passenger agent of the New York Central Railroad, and it has exerted a w’ide influence in furthering the movement. Mr. Roach gave it out that there was no use in keeping up the Washington bureau because the congressmen had decided to put the anti-scalp-ing bill on th<. table, at least until after the election. There are many congressmen, it was declared, who were in fear of their constituents and ticket brokers if they espoused the cause of the railroads. Personal, Local and General Notes. In June there were shipped from the Indianapolis stock yards over the Panhandle East 684 carloads of live stock. R. G. Thompson, agent of the Wabash at Fort Wayne, has announced himself as a candidate for the Republican nomination for secretary of state. Work on the Allegheny Western road, which is to connect the Brice lines with the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg, is being pushed with vigor. With its reorganization the Western Freight Association will discard that name and take a more imposing one, that of the Western Trunk Line Association. The Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton afternoon train yesterday carried thirty delegates to the educational convention, which convenes to-morrow at Washington. In its several departments the Railway Officials’ and Employes’ Association now gives employment to 234 people, its rapid growth requiring an additional force with each month. Train No, 5. over the Panhandle lines, is now run much of the time double-header, so heavy has the train become. Yesterday it brought in fourteen cars, including live Pullman sleepers. Two of the new coaches building for the Pennsylvania Company at the Columbus shops have been placed in service on the Jxiuisville division and are much admired by the patrons of the road. J. H. June, who is to iepresent the Union Pacific in this territory, with headquarters at Indianapolis, arrived here yesterday. He succeeds T. C. Wallace, who has been transferred to Boston as New England agent. An impression prevails that when reorganized it will be shown that the Peoria, Decatur & Evansville is an Illinois Central interest, letting the Illinois Central into Evansville and thence over the Ohio Valley Into Nashville. It Is announced at Tacoma that the salaries of all engineers and firemen on the Northern Pacific are to be advanced at least lo per cent, commencing this month. It is also reported that conductors are to receive an increase in wages. Barney, Smith & Cos. are building an eleBant private car for officials of the Lehigh 11 be on a more elaborate nVuf , was the Private car these works fbt 1 delivered to President Woodford, of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton. Preparations are being made at Buffalo to entertain the delegates to the annual convention of the National Railwav Agents' Association. Excursions have been arranged to Toronto and other points of interest. Herbert P. Bissell will Address the convention. The Chicago Great Western has awarded contracts for improvements on its system which will cost in the aggregate $1,250,000 " he increase in its business demands better track and an increased equipment, even on divisions which have heretofore furnished but little business. Were the Big Four to secure control of the Monon it could establish the shortest line between Cincinnati and Chicago, via Lafayette. Using the Monon from Lafayette to Chicago, it would have a line 294 miles i, n ,.‘ tn &th, and between Indianapolis and Chicago but 174 miles. It is stated that the Canadian Pacific will £ f t an independent entrance into Suspenf' on Briuge, N. Y., through the purchase of the bt. Catherines & Niagara Central Railroad The road is only twelve miles long, gut has excellent terminal facilities both at Bt. Catherines and Clifton. J. T. Carpenter, late with the Chicago & Book Island, yesterday succeeded I. N. as superintendent of bridges and ojlJdings on the Louisville. Evansville & ■t. Louis, and on July 1 O. W. Putnam,

formerly with the Denver & Rio Grande, will succeed W. A. Carney as chief train dispatcher on the L., E. & St. L. W. M. Green, general manager of the Baltimore & Ohio, has created quite a surprise in railroad circles by promoting William Gibson, assistant superintendent, to the general superintendency of the Baltimore & Ohio, with headquarters at Pittsburg. Mr. Gibson left the Big Four as division superintendent to go with the Baltimore & Ohio. All the Western roads, with the exception of the Wisconsin Central, St. Louis & San Francisco, Minneapolis & St. Louis, lowa Central and Rock Island & Peoria, have agreed to form a physical pool on all traffic except grain. These roads were not represented. The St. Louis & San Francisco has designated its intention to join, but the AA isconsin Central and the three smaller Jmes are ndl likely to come into the fold. The agreement is to become effective on July 15, and remain in effect until June 30, 1899. Grain was excluded from the agreement because the Missouri Pacific declined to have the commissioners meddle with its gram traffic.* The of Cincinnati to Chickamauga and other Southern points at which troops are being mobilized, makes the G. A. R. National Encampment of more than usual interest this year, as thousands of the veterans propose to make the meeting the occasion for a visit to the famous battle grounds which are so near to them. This idea has been developed by Mr. W. C. Rinearson, general passenger agent of the Queen & Crescent route, and by him earned to the point where he now announces a rate of $o round trip, Cincinnati to Chattanooga and return, for the veterans and all their friends during the encampment week. The tickets at this rate are good four days to return. MUST BE STALWART MEN * SEARCHING MEDICAL EXAMINATION IN 161 ST INDIANA. ♦ Recruiting a Band—Recruits Stopped from Tossing a Negro—Columbus Company In. ♦ A visit to the examination rooms of the One-hundred-and-sixty-first Regiment on the second floor of the administration building at the fair grounds is enough to convince any one of the thoroughness with which the medical work is being done by the regimental surgeons. The examinations given the first-call men w r ere mild compared to the severity of the present work. Instead of taking the word of the recruit for the condition of such portions of his interior anatomy as are not. in evidence, the surgeons make a rigid examination as far as possible. With all. this care, however, the proportion of rejections continues to be insignificant. Colonel Durbin is hard at work trying to get reports from all the captains on the number of men in the regiment who are musicians. A band is needed and must be recruited from the ranks of the regiment. There are musicians enough in the regiment, but the assortment of instruments played is not varied enough to admit of a thorough organization unless some more are heard from. Col. Hugh T. Reed, of Chicago, formerly of the First Infantry of the regular army and later inspector general of the Indiana militia under Governor Porter, was a visitor to Camp Mount yesterday. He was appointed to West Point from this State, his home at that time being at Richmond. He is the author of several army manuals on tactics for infantry, artillery and signal corps work and several stories of army life, bis . test one being “Cadet Life at West L ol u coionei Reed is the colonel of one ot the new Chicago regiments and will leave tor home in a day or two. While engaged in army talk yesterday he propounded a conundrum, as follows: “Why uoes a colored man make the best soldier for service in Cuba during the rainy seatevery one gave it up and the colonel blandly gave this reason: “Because he’s fast black and won’t run.” Lieutenant Peterson in discussing the reports of the naval battle before Santiago announced his regiment as having suffered the heaviest loss in officers of any of those engaged. One-third of all the officers of the regiment were either killed or wounded while 16 per cent, of the total loss In officers fell to the regiment. Had he been in the engagement, however, he would have been unaurt, as the officer who is acting for him escaped injury. In the regiment were two Indiana men wounded. Capt. George B. Waiker, of Evansville, who graduated at W est Point in IS<2 and was appointed a captain Aug. 1, 1892, w T as one, Liedt. Clarence N. Purdy, who graduated June 12, 1896, being the other. While his regiment was stationed at Fort Thomas Lieutenant Purdy studied law at the Cincinnati Law School, and when he was called away to Cuba his dipion a was forwarded to him by the faculty of the school. COLUMBUS COMPANY ARRIVES. The Columbus company arrived at noon yesterday and went at once to its paddock in stable J, Capt. W T . T. Stott brought 128 men with him and all look fit to pass any examination. Nearly all the companies brought long streaming cloth signs with them from their homes and now have them stretched across the front of their stable quarters, indicating the- towns from which they came. Squad drill continues to be practiced with more or less diligence and success by all tha companies. The mustering will commence as soon as the examinations are finished and the officers receive their commissions. Captain Mclntire, of the signal corps, will leave for Fort Sheridan to-day, he having received orders to draw on Lieutenant Petersen for transportation. Colonel Durbin was treated to a surprise yesterday when he was introduced to Recruit Maurice Durbin, of Michigan City who is a nephew of the colonel. He brought with him a letter from his parents authorizing his enlistment as a musician, he being oniy seventeen years old. The colonel and his nephew had a long and gratifying talk together, and arrangements will be made to lit him into the regimental band. Lieut. Petersen and wife have, since Camp Mount opened, moved to the city from Irvington and are now located in the Blacherne. Last night Colonel Durbin took the first step looking to the establishment of an orderly camp by the posting of the following order: “All unnecessary noise, shouting, jeering and acts of personal violence on the part of the enlisted men in this camp and regiment are hereby strictly prohibited. Company commanders will see that this order is strictly enforced.” The step was made necessary by the men “guying ,r visitors, especially colored men. Yesterday one of these, becoming nettled at the jokes of the boys, made a move as if to draw a pistol, and the recruits promptly brought out a blanket and had the colored man all ready for a “tossing” when Colonel Durbin appeared on the scene and rescued him. A dispatch from Jeffersonville savs that Ed Wyatt, Ed Berry, William Rider and Joseph Higdon, of that city, and Ernest Sellers, of Sellersburg, who left there with Company G. under Captain Baird, have returned home. They claim they were not furnished sufficient food at Camp Mount The other soldiers laugh at this claim. Sewing for the Army. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind.. July 4.-For the first time since the institution was established the government depot here to-day failed to close for Independence day. In the last two days contracts have been let and large quantities of harness and saddles sent to Battlefield, Ga., and Tampa. The New Albany Woolen Mills Company has received a contract to furnish 100,000 yards of blouse linings to the government. The sewing women will to-morrow begin work on duck suits for the soldiers. Left Home on the Fourth. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. COLUMBUS, Ind., July 4.—An ovation was tendered the Columbus volunteer company on its departure this morning. Soldiers of the late war, one hundred strong, headed by the City Band, accompanied the boys to the station. Ex-Congressman Geo. W. Cooper delivered a farewell address at the First Christian Church last night. There are 130 men in the company. Drilling Four Times a Week. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. EL WOOD, Ind., July 4.—Capt. J. H. Wagner, an old and experienced army officer of tnls city, who some time ago organ lied a company of volunteers, has his men splendidly trained and is ready to depart at any time. He has one hu Jrtd men in line and b%* bad drill practice regularly four times a week.

OLD SOLDIERS' HOLIDAY IMMENSE CROWD AT THE GARFIELD PARK OBSERVANCE. Reading; of Declaration of Independence and Other Exercises—Oration by Smiley N. Chamber*. The Fourth of July celebration at Garfield Park yesterday was a happy success. The Union Sailors’ and Soldiers’ Mutual League managed the affair and saw that all who went to the park had a good time. Between 10,000 and 15,000 people went out during the day. There were many family parties and hundreds of people carried their dinner baskets and enjoyed a spread on the ground at noon. The weather was cool and invigorating and the grass and foliage fresh from the recent rains. There was plenty of amusement for everybody. The real exercises of the day began at noon when the German Veterans’ Association fired a salute of forty-two rounds. After that came speeches and music and prize drills, and a dress parade. All over the park flags were numerous, and the popping of small pistols and fire crackers was heard all day. At 2 o’clock the crow’ds assembled about the grand stand to listen to the Fourth of July orations. The invocation was by Rev. Larkin W. Bicknell and the prayer was followed by music by the Boys’ Brigade Band. The musicians played the “Starspangled Banner,” aad Mayor Taggart was introduced and made brief introductory remarks. He spoke of the peculiar significance of the day of celebration and of the Declaration of Independence. He referred briefly to the Mexican war and the war of the rebellion, mentioning Indiana’s part in these great events. He referred to Gen. Harrison’s distinguished career as a soldier in the last war. Mayor Taggart said he was proud to note that Indiana had again sent her sons to the defense of the flag, and he was sure if there are not enough young men in the State to do Indiana’s part the older men—the veterans of another war—are ready to go. He remarked that he was pleased with the action of the Grand Army of the State in passing resolutions to return the Confederate flags. The mayor believed this was right. The Mason and Dixon line has been wiped out—there is now only a united people, who will rally around the Presideht with offerings of moral, financial and physical support in these trying times. MR. CHAMBERS’S ADDRESS. After Mayor Taggart had concluded Daniel L. Brown read' the Declaration of Independence. The chief address of the day was then delivered by Smiley N. Chambers: Mr. Chambers first referred to the perplexing problem now confronting this Nation of disposing of the islands of the sea, which have come into the temporary possession of the United States. The country, he thought, will find itself confronting an experiment, but that should not daunt a nation which has been experimenting with such magnificent success from the very hour of its birth. The experiment of the Declaration of Independence, ridiculed at the time of its promulgation by all the wiseacres in statecraft, and the experiment of the Constitution have been followed by wonderful results. At no time has the Constitution failed the people of this land, even in the Nation’s most trying moments. Whatever experiments the Nation may now see fit to make, along the lines of extending the blessings of human liberty, will no doubt be as glorious in their results as the experiments of ghe past. After reviewing the events leading up to the present conflict Mr. Chambers said in conclusion: “We cannot shirk th~ responsibilities thus thrust upon us. They u IC ours and we must meet them. The benefits of a Christian civilization are to be extended to the islands of the sea and the United States is charged with the duty, and shall have the glory, in all time, of performing this great work. It is one of the remarkable things that in all great accomplishments there are obstrretionists. To-day, in the Senate of the United States, a strange scene is taking place. On this day consecrated to liberty, while our arms are victorious on sea and land, a faction of senators stands opposing the entrance to the United States of the island of Hawaii. It has shaken off the shackles of monarchy and has permanently established a republican form of government. It has shown itself worthy and capable. It belongs to us. Its dominant forces are American. Its possession is necessary to our commerce and safety. Yet these men, honestly, perhaps, but surely in error—fillibuster to prevent the consummation of the inevitable. “We have a historical and scriptural instance of an attempt to prevent that which had been decreed by Him who overrules and directs all events. Jonah, directed to go to the wicked city of Nineveh and cry out against it, undertook to flee rrom his duty. He took a ship for Tarsus, was thrown overboard and was swallowed by a whale and though punished was preserved for further work. These representatives of the people who are striving against the inevitable in the Senate of the United States will soon be swallowed up by public opinion, but unlike their prototype, never to appear again in the scene of public action. It is dangerous to filibuster against the decrees of an avenging Providence. “What shall we do with the Philippines; what do we want with Cuba, Porto Rico or Hawaii? These are questions heard every day. It is not a question as to what we want with them. The question is what is our duty toward them. Shall we return the Philippines to Spain, and several millions of people to ablect slavery? The emancipation proclamation by which four millions of slaves were made free was not a farce nor a mere incident of war. It marked a mile post in the march of liberty and progress. Neither was the destruction of the Spanish fleet and the capture of Cavite a mere military event. To look at it in such a light would be taking a very narrow view of so signal and great an event. Do I not voice the sentiments of those who hear me when I say that territory over which the stars and stripes have floated can never again be the home of the slave or subject. It is forever dedicated to the principles of civil and religious liberty. This war means something. We have the courage and intelligence to conduct it to a successful issue and I have the confidence to believe will be able to grasp its full meaning and to secure its full results for mankind. “The sympathy and support of all are with the boys in the trenches and on the vessels under the scorching sun of the tropics. We send them words of cheer and God speed. When their glorious work is done we shall welcome their return with booming of cannon and shouts of freemen. If they do not return, but die on the field of battle or in the hospital, a grateful people and a nation redeemed will hold their deeds of sacrifice in momory ever fresh and green.” During the exercises at the grand stand the band played “America” and the people sang it. At 3:30 o’clock several companies of the Boys’ Brigade gave a competitive drill. The first prize, a fine flag, was awarded to the company under command of Capt. P. J. Kelleher. J. K. Gore, Irvin Robbins and James R. Ross composed the committee on the award of prizes. At 4 o’clock the youthful troops were reviewed by the prize committee. Following are the committees which had charge of the celebration : Finance-J. M. Bohmie, P. G. Jordan, Thomas Hanna. Music—H. B. Snyder, D. H. Olive, J. M. Cassel. Military and Parade—W. H. Armstrong, Samuel Laing, B. A. Richardson, Charles E. Bridges. Programme and Press—C. E. Merrifield, R. W. Medkirk. Thomas Hanna. Artillery and Salute—Captains J. L. Bieler. J. E. Twiname, J. E. White. On Flag—John M. Bohmie, Wallace Foster. On Decoration and Privileges—W. B. Harris, G. H. Shover. Robert Townsend. GATHERING OF NATIONS. A Pretty Celebration at the Women** Reformatory. An elaborate patriotic programme was arranged and rendered yesterday at the Women’s Reformatory before a large audience, including Governor Mount. The ex-

ercises consisted of a procession of young women of the institution arrayed In the costumes of the various nations of the world, designated on the programme as the “gathering of the nations.” Each country wa3 represented by two girls carrying between them the flag of the nation represented. First of all came Columbia in characteristic attire, represented by four girls, whose entrance called forth enthusiastic applause. Following came Britain under the union jack, also cheered heartily. Then came France, Germany, Austria, Russia, Italy, Turkey, China, Japan and the various Latin-American states. Near the end of the procession came Spain, and though no hisses greeted the flag, when the rest of the procession raised a banner bearing the legend “Remember the Maine,” the young women hung their heads and pulled the flag down. As each representative nation passed in review before the audience the girls sang either the national hymn or some song characteristic of the country represented. The procession occupied an hour in marching and singing, and each character was portrayed with as much truth and attention to detail as would have been expected from professional performers, as least so Governor Mount expressed himself at the conclusion of the entertainment. Irvington Pole Raising. Irvington had a flag raising yesterday in honor of the day. A pole sixty feet high had been reared by B. F. Ging, D. M. Dove and Mr. Heintz. Thomas Hanna spoke, and said, among other things: “Any one who attempts to make less any victory won under that flag, and to array one section of this country against another, is an enemy to that flag. No terms of peace made by Washington at Yorktown, or with the English in 1812, or with Mexico, or by Grant with Lee at Appomattox should ever be changed. Side arms, baggage and horses were all that were to be retained by the terms of Grant with Lee at Appomattox, No flags were to be returned.” Crowds and Decorations. The down-town stores yesterday swung national flags to the breeze, and in front of nearly every building Old Glory swung. At the Denison Hotel Moses G. McLain had his quarters elaborately decorated. The holiday crowd down town was large, and everywhere were greetings on the great naval victory off Santiago. Crowds were about the newspaper bulletins all day. Exercises at Strclght Homestead. Exercises were held yesterday at the residence of General Streight’s widow, east of the city. Rev. Bails Campbell offered prayer and Edna Bennett, Margaret Fox, Cecilia Sullivan, Josie Rarkersville, Dr. Lawrence, Mrs. L. L. Lawrence, Mr. Bicknell, Rev. Mr. Mackintosh and Mr. Newby took part in the programme. FIRE ON VIRGINIA AVENUE Indianapolis Printing; Company Suffers—Woman Rescued. The building at 41 Virginia avenue, occupied by the Indianapolis Printing Company, caught fire at 3 o’clock this morning. The fire spread quickly. Heavy smoke poured through the building and into an upstairs room, where lives the wife of James Wilson, former editor of the People, Someone on the street yelled, “There’s a woman upstairs!” Several policemen rushed up the stairway, but the thick smoke blinded them. A lantern was brought from a hose wagon and Captain Dawson and a sergeant went up again. This time they brought Mrs. Wilson downstairs with them. She was very cool though the rooms below her’s were full of flames. She said she held her nose with her fingers to keep the smoke out. At 3:30 o'clock a second alarm was rung. The firemen seemed able to control the blaze, SEGEANT LOWE EXONERATED IVcwingham, W lio Brought Charges, Hus Left Town. The charges against Sergeant John Lowe, made by Clayton Newingham through Attorney F. W. Branthoover, have been investigated and the Board of Public Safety will act on the matter at its next meeting. The investigation entirely clears Sergeant Lowe and shows that he was doing his duty. Newingham charged that Lowe had insulted his wife and servant when they were on the street and at their home. Newingham lived at 311 West Washington street. Sergeant Lowe found the woman Newingham claimed was his wife and the woman he claimed was his servant on the street at late hours on several nights. He told them that Superintendent Quigley had issued an order that women should be kept off the streets at late hours and told them they must go home. They used violent language to him and Newingham and Branthoover tried to interfere. After such occurrences on several nights charges were filed against the police sergeant. The house where the people lived has had a bad reputation for several years. The Board of Public Safety handed the charges over to Superintendent Quigley to be investigated. Since then Newingham and the woman he claimed to be his wife have left town, it is stated. It is said Newingham was afraid that an action would be brought against him. The woman who pretended to be the servant has confessed that she was none, and she asserts the other woman and Newingham were not married. No satisfactory theory can be built as to the reason Newingham brought the charges against Sergeant Lowe on such hopeless grounds. A MOLDER ARRESTED. Charged with Stealing $67 from a Woman on the Street. Thomas Manion, a molder, who is well known in labor union circles and at one time was a member of the executive committee of the Molders’ Union, was arrested yesterday near his home, 917 McGinnis street, by Detectives Morgan, Gerber and Kurtz He was taken to the police station and locked up on a charge of grand larceny and highway robbery. It is claimed he took $67 away from a woman on the street. Manion claims he is not the right man. He says he had been away from home for several months prior to the day before Decoration day and left home again on the day after. It is claimed he stole the money either on Decoration day or a day or two on either side of it. Manion has always borne a good reputation. He is an enthusiastic worker in labo- union circles and was concerned in the big strike at the Chandler & Taylor foundry. For that reason, it is said, he was blacklisted here. He had before that time worked as foreman and workman in many of the foundries of this city. Lately he has worked at several towns in this State and Ohio. NO STAMPS YET. Merchants Will Probably Not Get Any This Morning. Yesterday evening no revenue stamps had arrived at the revenue office. There were many anxious inquiries about them, but Major Glover could only offer hope that the stamps w’ould have arrived by this morning. Consignments of stamps have been shipped from Washington addressed to this city on each of the last three days of last week, but only the first consignment arrived. It is thought the stamps must have been dumped off the trains at the w’rong place. A diligent search is being made for them along the route from Washington to this city. But $1,481 of the stamps have been sold here, not because there is not a demand for them, but because there have been no stamps to sell. No registry pouch containing stamps arrived last night, but pouches for Terre Haute and other points passed through. Goblioats from German-Americam. The skylight of the battle ship Maine, which was placed on exhibition in the Statehouse yesterday by Mr. Albert Lieber, was viewed by quite a number of people. Many the visitors were school children. At the suggestion of Mr. Lieber the Indianapolis Brewery Workmen’s Association has issued a call on German-Americans in this country to contribute to a fund for building a gunboat to be presented the government in the name of the German-Ameri-can citizens of this Nation. It will be suggested that the boat be named Teutonic. $35 Plano bargain at Wulschner’a.

MANY LOSE THEIR HANDS TERRIBLE FIRECRACKER ENDS FRAIfK BUTLER’S BALL CAREER. 0 Long: List of Injured People Who Toyed with These Dangerous Fourth of July Affairs. Frank Butler, one of the best ball players in the Western League, now a member of the Columbus team, fired his first giant "cracker” last night and sacrificed his ballplaying career as a price of his inexperience and indiscretion. The crowd at the ball grounds yesterday continually threw all sorts of explosives at “Bumpus” Jones, the Columbus pitcher, In an attempt to “rattle” him. One of them, a “giant cracker,” failed to explode, and fell at his feet harmless. He picked it up and brought it to the Grand Hotel with him after the game. It was laid on the dressing case in his room, and when Butler entered he picked it up. At once an idea occurred to him to set fire to the short fuse, and when in the act he was startled by a warning cry from Jones. In his confusion he refused to relinquish his hold on the cracker and it exploded in his grasp. The concussion was tremendous, and through the dense smoke Jones heard a cry of pain from Butler and an agonized appeal for water. Hurrying to him he saw Butler standing with his left hand torn into shreds, tightly grasping the veins of his wrist to prevent bleeding. The rest of the team, hearing the explosion, came running in at this moment, and in a few minutes Dr. E. F. Hodges responded to the call sent out by them. After an examination of the injured hand Manager Loftus was told it would be impossible for Butler to ever play ball again. All the sinews and bones were torn and broken past all hope of treatment. The skin and portions of the flesh alone held the member together. After a temporary treatment he was removed to the City Hospital, where it was said it would be impossible for a day or so to tell whether amputation will be necessary or not. The unfortunate part of the affair, aside from the injury, is the fact of Butler’s wife being crticdlly ill at his home in Savannah, Ga. Manager Loftus wired the intelligence to Butler’s family last night. The injured man was formerly a member of the New York National League team, and was considered to be of great promise. So violent was the force of the explosion that a portion of the window sill in the room was shattered for several inches. • ♦ KEPT SURGEONS BUSY. The Left Hand Suffered in Most Instances. Some of those who burned powder yesterday in the various ways provided by the manufacturers of fireworks in celebration of the Fourth of July and in honor of the American army and navy felt something of what the boys in blue who are fighting for their country have suffered. The physicians of the city were ready with their absorbent cotton and linseed oil, and some of them found use for these means of relief from burns. The City Dispensary and the City Hospital were fairly supplied with “fireworks cases.” William Lincoln, who lives at Missouri and Maryland streets, and is sixty-five years old, went to the City Dispensary yesterday afternoon and exhibited a burned face. He said a small boy had shot him with a blank cartridge. He had been drinking. He asked the physician who dressed his face how much, in his opinion, he ought to sue the boy for. He settled on $5,000, but as it was easy to work his imagination he ran the amount away up in the thousands, which he intended to demand as a return for the pleasure of shooting him in the face. S. Palma, a fourteen-year-old boy, stuck a piece of lighted punk into a can of powder to see what it would do. It did fairly well. He also went to the Dispensary to be attended to. His face was scorched, one of his arms was deeply burned from the hand to the elbow and the other arm was also painfully burned. When he went into the Dispensary with both arms bandaged someone asked ironically, “What’s the matter?” “Burned,” the boy replied blandly. Nevertheless he made a loud noise when his injuries were being dressed. He lives at 249 North Delaware street. Joseph Plum, another fourteen-year-old boy, went to the Dispensary to be repaired from the results of the day’s recreation. His face was burned red and there was powder in his eye. When the physicians w r ent to him to examine his eye he said quickly that he could see all right, and it seemed that he could. He had been shooting a pistol. He lives at 212 East Merrill street. William Norman, seventeen years old, who lives on Michigan street, proved that a cannon cracker which he didn't think was loaded really was. He was taken to the City Hospital and the little that remained of the little finger of the left hand was dressed so it will heal. Arthur Chilton and John Lanning had taken firecrackers in their left hands and waited too long to throw them away from them to explode. The left hands of both were mangled. Chilton is a paper hanger. Lanning is eighteen years old and lives at 825 Greer street. Thomas Lorman, who lives at 1332 Hill avenue, looked into the mouth of a small cannon with his mouth open. As he looked the cannon was discharged. He was taken to the City Dispensary. His face, tongue and neck were filled with powder. His eyes escaped. Mike Manila, a fruit dealer at 239 West Washington street, living at 325 North Capitol avenue, gathered up an armful of fireworks at his place of business last night and while thus loaded attempted to set fire () a Roman candle in the bunch. In so doing the entire lot was exploded, badly burning his hands and face. He was treated at the City Dispensary. A giant firecracker exploded in the hand of David Oliver, who lives at No. 929 South Meridian street, last night. His hand was almost torn off. He was attended by Dr. Kennedy. . „ Libby Collins, 140 South Senate avenue, had a hand terribly mangled last night at 1 o’clock by the premature explosion of a giant firecracker.

Notwithstanding this, they both returned the Gloucester’s fire, and a rain of small shells fell around the yacht. The Furor evidently determined that she would not stand the fire any longer, and she put about and headed back for Santiago. Then the Gloucester simply smothered her with shots from her rapid-fire guns, and, running like the wind, forced her to turn around and again head westward. Smoke commenced to rise from the Furor’s sides, and she put in towards the shore. Before she had gone far what was left of her crew abandoned her and took to the boats, reaching the shore later. By that time she was a mass of flame and was drifting about helplessly. The Pluton was in the same distressed condition and was also headed for the shore, running up alongside of a low bluff, where she soon pounded to pieces and finally broke in two completely. It was a moat dangerous landing place for her crew and but about half of them reached the shore alive. The Gloucester did not go any further west, but lay off shore and ~ent in a boat to the assistance of the crews of the destroyers. Jt did not take the flames long to reach the Furor’s magazines and there

were two terrific explosions, probably of th* gun cotton on board of her, which blew holes In her bottom. Her stern sunk immediately and as it settled in the water her bow rose straight Into the air and she went to the bottom in perpetual oblivion, giving out a hissing, scalding sound as she disappeared below the surface. 3HOT AND SHELL EXCHANGED. Meantime the larger American ships were gaining on the Spanish cruisers and a storm of shot was passing between the pursued and the pursuer. The American fire was so rapid that the ships were'enveloped in thick clouds of smoke and it was impossible to tell at the distance which vessels were doing the greater execution. The Brooklyn and the five battle ships were keeping up an incessant fire on the Infanta Marla Teresa, the Vizcaya and the Almirante Oquendo, and the latter were returning it bravely, though with no success. The Spanish gunners seemed unable to get the proper range and many of their shots were very wild, though a number of them fell dangerously near to the mark. The guns of the battery just east of Morro also took part in the game and their shells fell around the American ships. Many of them struck the upper works of the fleeing Spaniards and must have resulted in killing and wounding many of their men. The Spanish ships had now reached a point about seven miles west of Morro and a mile or two beyond the place where the Furor was burning and the Pluton broken In two against the cliff. The flagship and the Oquendo were the first to show signals of distress. Two thirteen-inch shells from one of the battle ships had struck the Maria Teresa at the water line, tearing great holes In her side and causing her to fill repidly. The Oquendo suffered about the same fate and both ships headed for a small cove and went aground two hundred yards from the shore, flames shooting from them in every direction. The officers and crew must have been aware of the fate which seemed to be before them, but it was not until the ships were on fire and enveloped in flames and smoke that the men ceased firing. The Gloucester, after sending a boat ashore to the Pluton, steamed along the coast to where the armored cruisers were stranded and went to their assistance. There was danger from the magazines, and many of those on board jumped into the water and swam to the shore, though a number were unable to reach the small strip of sandy beach in the cove and were thrown against the rocks and killed or drowned. Many of the wounded were lowered into the ships’ own boats and taken ashore, but this task was a most difficult one. The Gloucester had all her boats out, and one seaman swam through the surf with a line from the Marla Teresa, making it fast to a tree on the shore. By this means many on the flagship, including Admiral Cervera, lowered themselves into the Gloucester’s boats. The wounded were taken to the Gloucester as rapidly as possible, and the lower deck of the yacht was soon covered with Spanish sailors, mangled in limb and body by the bursting of shells. The Dead Yeoman. WASHINGTON. July 4.— George H. Ellis, the only man in the United States navy who was killed in the glorious engagement off Santiago yesterday, is chief yeoman of Commodore Schley's flagship Brooklyn, in which office he succeeded Downing, the Spanish spy captured by secret-service officers in Canada, and who ended his career by suicide in the Washington barracks while awaiting trial. Ellis is a native American, having been born at Peoria, 111., Oct. 21, 1871. His naval career w r as very brief, he haviag enlisted on May 30, 1897, and his only cruise being that which resulted in his death. His next of kin is his wife, Sadie Ellis, who lives at Bull’s Head, N. Y. SATURDAY’S BOMBARDMENT. Hot Fire from Lawton’* Troops— Tricky Methods of Spaniards. (Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press.) ON THE HILL, near El Paso, before Santiago de Cuba, July 2, 5 p. m., via Port Antonio, Jamaica, per the Associated Press dispatch boat Dauntless.—Four batteries of artillery, which were placed in position this morning, began the day with bombarding the San Juan quarter of Santiago and the Spanish position in front of our right. After a quarter of an hour’s shelling, General Lawton’s troops, who had been reinforced, pressed forward upon the enemy’s left flank, was continued during the greater part of the afternoon. It is not intended to force the fighting before to-morrow, the present plan being to turn the Spanish left, taking the whole line In enfilade, and thus obtain a speedy entrance into the upper end of the city. Admiral Sampson’s heavy guns thundered at intervals all foreroon, and the American shells were distlncly seen to explode with tremendous and loud detonations between the San Juan barracks, over which numerous Red Cross flags were flying. The concentration of the American batteries on what is now dubbed Grimes hill, near our left center, was the result of a blunder, made last night in posting our guns so near the Spanish infantry intrenchments that they could not be properly supported. The idea of a cross artillery fire was perforce abandoned by the position of the batteries on our right. The rifle firing at that point at one time was as heavy as anywhere along the line yesterday. The Spaniards kept up volley firing for fully an hour, but the deliberate spacing of our own shots showed that our men, as usual, were cool and effective in their work. Later, Admiral Cervera’s fleet In the harbor succeeded in getting an approximate range angle of our advance on the left and sent in many heavy shells which, exploded close to the intrenchments. It was realized late yesterday that we might have hard fighting to-day in order to maintain this advanced position around the large blockhouse, or so-called fort. Strong intrenchments were, therefore, thrown up there during the night. Thus far' to-day the Spanish infantry have let these works severely alone. Near this position eight hundred Spanish soldiers and sixty officers were captured this morning. Both these and the two thousand prisoners taken yesterday on the right were marched to the rear during the forenoon. The expression on all their faces was exceedingly sullen. The rumor that one prisoner turned upon a lieutenant of the Tenth Cavalry who had just turned him over to the guard and stabbed him, the guard taking Immediate vengeance for the dastardly deed by felling the Spaniard with a bullet. Is not confirmed. There are many evidences of disloyal methods of warfare upon the part of the Spaniards jgsterday. One of their batteries was masked by a blockhouse on which the Red Cross flag was flying, and the road leading from General Shafter’s quarters on the Rio Sevilla to tfßfsgSssgmt ha* been for two days Infested at * ®us points by sharpshooters, who fired delfwrately on our wounded and on our men who are engaged. It was supposed they had stolen through our lines on the right, taking refuge in the hospitals. In the positions captured by us many shells and explosive cartridges have been found. The impression appears to be wU founded

Indpls. that the Spanish losses, especially in dead, will probably amount to three thousand killed and wounded. The losses of the Spaniards are much heavier than ours. In some of the trenches the corpses lay In unbroken lines and occasionally two or three deep. It was not General Shafter’s Intention to attempt a general assault on the Spaniards to-day, unless our bombardment and Gen. Lawton’s fire on our right developed an exceptional opportunity. The morning orders were to confine our principal operations to the defense of the positions we have taken, and reinforcements for the whole line wers sent forth early in the forenoon. The Second Regular Infantry was sent to the right, the Ninth Massachusetts to the left and ths Thirty-third and Thirty-fourth Michigan to the center, in all about two thousand fresh troops. The formation of the line to-day is as follows: General Lawton on the right. General Kent on the right center, General Wheeler in the center and Genera] Bates on the left. General Garcia’s main insurgent force is thrown out to the right. General Lawton sent a message to Gen. Shafter, later in the afternoon, saying hs was in possession of the several positions for planting batteries to dominate both ths city and the outer fortifications of the port. From his headquarters General Shafter has examined minutely Morro Castle and its supporting batteries on the range facing the ocean, and it has been definitely ascertained that there are In the port of Santiago one gunboat, three ironclads and one transport. General Shafter* says General Pando has not yet arrived at Santiago de Cuba, and that General Garcia is expected to stop him and has been asked to do so at all hazards. As the correspondent is about to leave with this dispatch for the seacoast heavy fighting has been resumed on our right. The sharp cracking of the Spanish volleys alternate with the steady business-like discharges of our infantry. It is understood that we have gained there a substantial advantage commanding the Spanish flank*. A German newspaper correspondent named Ring was arrested by order of Gen. Shafter last evening on the charge of being a spy in the pay of the Spaniards. The safest estimate of the killed and wounded in yesterday’s fight places it at nearly 1,000. Fourteen men died In the hospital last night and this morning. There is likely to be a great deed said about the treatment of the foreign military attaches during this campaign. Some of them have not been supplied with mounts, tents or attendants, contrary to the usage of the European military authorities. A GEN. SHAFTER’S DEMAND. Spaniard* Asked to Surrender Uncoil-/ dltlonally—Combined Attack. (Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press.) OFF JURAGUA, on board the Associated Press dispatch boat Dandy, July 3, 10 p. m., via Port Antonio, Jamaica,* and Kingston, July 4, 12:45 p. m.—General Shafter to-day demanded an instant and unconditional surrender of Santiago de Cuba. The Spanish commander curtly and emphatically refused. The American general in sending his demand warned all foreign residents out of the city before 10 o’clock to-morrow morning (July 4), at which hour the bombardment would, he said, begin. The only notice General Linares took was that no Cuban* would be permitted to leave to-morrow. This evening Lieutenant Colonel Astor, of General Shafter’s staff, was informed by a courier that the Spanish generals were considering terms of surrender. The courier’* report, however, is altogether unconfirmed and is discredited by General Shafter. To-night the men are anxious for a general engagement on the Fourth of July, but the officers do not expect it. The general belief is that the crushing of Admiral Cervera’s fleet entirely changes the situation, now that Admiral Sampson can enter the harbor and the army and navy can make a combined attack on the city. It is not believed that General Shafter will make a decisive move until that question is definitely settied Admiral Sampson and General Shafter had arranged for a conference this morning, an escort of cavalry at the dock here awaiting Admiral Sampson and his staff. Admiral Cervera’s dash for liberty compelled the New York to leave the harbor and rush to the scene of conflict. The conference was Interrupted to wipe out the Spanish fleet, but wilt doubtless be resumed. General Pando with 5,000 reinforcement# reached Santiago at noon to-day, General Callxto Garcia refusing to make an effort to stop him, saying that the Spanish force wa* too large lor him to engage. The army is half mad with delight over the crushing of the Spanish fleet. Pando Not at Santiago. NEW YORK.

Wagner, of the Bureau of Military Information, now at Santiago, In which h* states that General Pando has not formed a junction with the forces of Geneva! Linares. Pando, with 5,000 men, is still some distance from Santiago. General Garcia, with 3,000 Cubans, Is between Pando ana Santiago, and Is successfully resisting hi* efforts to reach that city.
