William Beattcy’s saloon, IS6I Shelby street, has been a landmark of the South Side for many years and has been the scene of many sensational incidents, but in all its stormy career it has not witnessed any more startling events than were enacted there a day or so ago. After being repeatedly taunted about the dilapidated condition of the front door steps—there are four of them leading up to the saloon door from the sidewalk—the proprietor had them newly painted one day last w r eek. “Fresh paint’* cards were put up to warn patrons, who were courteously directed to a side door. A market gardener living a few miles south of town drove up to the place on his way home after a successful morning at market, ready to spend a little of the money in his well tilled pockets. He hitched his horse, a drowsy looking and gaunt animal, to a telegraph pole in front of the place. He was about to enter by the front door when he observed the cards calling attention to the fresh paint and went around to the side door. Wlni e he was contentedly sipping a ■‘goblet of malt’’ at the bar with a crowd of cronies whom he found there and whom he proceeded to treat, his ears heard the clang of a trolley car going south in front of the saloon. He hastily placed his half empty glass cn the bar and hurried to the door. “What’s the matter?” called one of his friends. "My horse—l’m afraid he will run away.” This was met with a storm of jeers. “Run away? That old slack ot bones? He wouldn’t run away from a Spanish fleet,” called one of the gardener’s friends. This was greeted by “haw-haws” of approval. Looking through the doorway the gardener saw the old nag had paid no attention to the car, and, with his head hung low between his knees, seemed to be dozing peacefully. The gardener returned to the bar. Scarcely had he drained his glass and ordered ’em up again when a wild commotion was heard in the street. High above the noise on the sidewalk was heard the clang, clang of the gong of a car coming up the line and before the gardener had time to rush outside he was bewildered by seeing a large dark form plunge madly through the barroom door from the sidewalk and gallop through the saloon straight for the back door, through which it fled into the summer garden in the rear, where it dashed into a table atound which two or three men and girls were seated drinking beer. A scream from the girls added to the confusion as the form dashed against the table, sending the beer glasses to the ground. Everybody in the saloon was frightened. The bartender was nearly paralyzed. When they regained their senses they rushed for the back door and were all amazed to find the old nag peacefully looking around at the wreckage that lay In his wake. His harness was gone. Not a thing was left on him except the blind-bridle. Scarcely realizing what had happened the gardener hurried to the street. The telegraph pole was bent over to one side. The buggy had slipped back over the sidewalk into the gutter, the harness hanging to the shafts. On the four freshly painted steps were marks of the frightened horse’s hoofs, while marks on the side of the door showed where the points of the shafts had struck the building. Frightened by the up-town car the horse, suddenly awakened from his day dreams, had wrenched himself loose from the telegraph pole and had dashed up the steps into the open saloon door, where, the shafts coming against the wall, the harness broke and allowed the animal to continue his mad flight into the garden in the rear. A shoemaker in the neighborhood was unable to mend the harness, the only things damaged, and the gardener pieced them together and drove to a harness maker up toward Virginia avenue. The saloon man contemplated the marks of the horse-shoes on the fresh paint and sent for a painter to obliterate them. It was half an hour before the girls In the summer garden were restored to consciousness from the faint into which they had been thrown by the sudden appearance of the half-blind and bony horse who developed a greater speed that day than he has shown since, he was retired from the race track years ago. CITY NEWSJNOTES. Employes in the office of the Indiana Bicycle Company will enjoy the privilege of Saturday half holidays for the remainder of the summer, as other employes of the establishment now do. The residents of Brightwood and Oak Hill have announced a mass meeting to be held in Bischoff’s Hall, Brightwood, on Tuesday evening, July 19, to devise means for improving Brightwood Park. The two-story frame building at 604 Blake street, owned and used by James Hanlon for a saloon, was damaged to the extent of S3OO by tire yesterday morning. Throwing lighted cigar stumps in the spittoon tilled with sawdust started the blaze. Police Judge Cox gave some pretty severe lessons to bicycle "scorchers” in his court yesterday. George Johnson, colored, who rides a wheel geared to 100. was fined sll. Sylvester Moriarity, a cripple, and Paul Asher and Oscar Lober were fined $6. Otto \V. Deitz was let off with a lighter tine. At Broad Ripple next Saturday the annual harvest home camp meeting of the Pentecost Band will begin. Tents to accommodate thirty thousand people will be pitched, including the big tent in which the services will be held. There will be five services. Representatives of most of the States will be present. VITAL STATISTICS—JULY 16. Births. Noah and Cora Dalton. 1618 Yandes street, girl. George and Fannie Winkler, 634 Highland avenue, girl. _ .

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, SUNDAY, JULY 17, 1898.
BASEBALL ON SUNDAY • GAME MAY BE PLAYED, ACCORDING TO JUDGE MT’RAY'S RULING. 1 e Sustains Motion to Quash the State’s Affidavit—Damnge Suits Filed— News of the Courts. In a decision given yesterday by Judge McCray the court practically declares the law making it unlawful to play baseball on Sunday unconstitutional. The case in point was brought to the Criminal Court from the city Police Court, and grew out of the attempt of the Indianapolis and Kansas City baseball clubs to play a game here on Sunday. The members of both teams were arrested by the city police just after the game started, and on the following day were arraigned in Police Court. The constitutionality of the law was then attacked, but Judge Cox held the statute valid and the players were fined. An appeal was taken to the Criminal Court, and on Thursday Attorneys Frank B. Burke and Joseph B. Kealing, counsel for the defendants, entered a motion to quash the state’s affidavit, which was based on the following section of the statute: “It shall be unlawful for any person or persons to engage in playing any game of baseball, where any fee is charged, or where any reward, or prize, or profit, or article of value is depending upon the result of such game, on the first day of the week, commonly called Sunday.” • * • The attorneys held that the above section is uncertain and ambiguous. It was held that the question of “fee” was not clearly defined by tho Legislature, and it was on this contention that the argument of the defense was chiefly based. Judge McCray, in giving his decision yesterday, sustained the attorneys in their argument on the question of “fee” and said: “I take it that the payment of the fee is an essential element, and If the payment of the fee is an essential element, then the affidavit is defective, inasmuch as it does not allege the person by whom tne fee was paid. I understand, from the argument, that if no fee was peM the game of ball might be played with impunity, the payment of the fee being essential to the validity of the statute, and this statute would not apply. On the other hand, if the playing is not in violation of the statute unless a fee is paid, and if a man play ball where some fee was charged and was fined for it, and another played where a fee was not charged, and could play with impunity, the law would not then operate upon all players alike as provided by the Constitution, The motion to quash will therefore be sustained.” As soon as the decision of Judge McCray became known to the baseball management notices were posted on the score boards at the park announcing a game for to-day. President Golt said last night: “The only step that could be taken against us would be through an injunction, and the court which is asked to issue the will be compelled to allow our side to be heard.” Prosecutor Wiltsie, when asked last night as to the step he would take in the matter. said there was nothing for him to do at this time more than to appeal the case to the Supreme Court, which had already been done. The court having declared the law unconstitutional, leaves the situation precisely as it was before the law was passed. Until the higher court has decided on the exception taken by the State, It is claimed, there are no obstructions that can be placed in the way of the club playing Sunday games, except through the old common Sunday law. The prosecutor said that the situation, so far as interference with the game to-day is concerned, rests entirely with the powers controlling the enforcement of the law. Unless the police do something or the sheriff sees fit to obstruct the game there can be no Interference. Superintendent of Police Quigley last night admitted he was in consultation with legal advisers, with a view to ascertaining what his powers and duties are in this emergency. He, however, said he had not been able to arrive at any conclusion. AGAINST THE “CLOVER LEAF.” United States District Attorney Brings Suit Against the Road. Action was brought'in the Federal Court yesterday by Deputy United States District Attorney. La Follette against R. B. F. Peirce, receiver of the Toledo, St. Louis & Kansas City Railroad, for an alleged violation of the interstate-commerce laws. Judge Baker will probably hear the case about Aug. 1. The complaint states that the Scharzschild & Sulzberger Company, of Kansas City, on May 20 shipped nineteen carloads of cattle over the Chicago & Alton Railroad to East St. Louis, and there the stock was transferred to the Toledo, St. Louis & Kansas City road. The cattle were hauled through to Buffalo, and during that time were neither watered nor fed, it is alleged, but were confined in the cars for more than twenty-eight hours without either food or water, in violation of the statutes of the United States. The plaintiff asserts that because of the violation R. B. F. Peirce should forfeit SSOO. and demands judgment for that amount and all other relief. A FATHER BRINGS SUIT. An Action for Damages on Aceonnt of Frank Jennings’s Death. Frank Jennings, a paper-hanger, was killed by a street-car at Broad Ripple Park cn the night of June 11, and Pressly Jennings, his brother, has brought suit, as administrator of the estate, in the Superior Court for SIO,OOO damages against the Broad Ripple and Indianapolis Rapid Transit Company. The complaint sets out the amount of wages earned by Jennings and states hi3 father, mother, three sisters and four brothers were dependent on him for their living. It is alleged that Jennings was killed because there were no lights nor watchman on the car which struck him, and he had no means of knowing of its approach. The complaint says he was leaving the park about 9 o’clock by a path which crosses the track below the “loop,” and that a “trailer” was “kicked” out of the “loop" and ran him down. Petition for Injunction Heard. Judge Allen, of the Circuit Court, yesterday heard the petition of Henry Coburn for an injunction against the New Telephone Company, preventing it from laying its conduit within three feet of the line of Mr. Coburn’s property on New York street, near Delaware. A building is being erected on the property, and it is desired to extend the basement out under the sidewalk in front of the building. The conduit would prevent this, it is claimed. The telephone company defended its action by saying it had a permit from, the Board of Public Works. A map from the city engineer’s office was brought into court, but it did not show the exact location of the conduit. This, it was explained, is due to the fact the conduits are laid wherever it is cheapest to lay them —generally under the lawns. The case was not closed. Suit Aguinst the City. Laura H. Beeler filed suit yesterday in the Superior Court against the city of Indianapolis for $15,000 damages. She alleges that because of the city failing to do its duty in repairing a dangerous deep gutter, she was permanently injured. According to the complaint, she and her husband, Thomas J. Beeler, were riding in a buggy on Twentv-seeond street. May 15, and the buggy ran into the gutter at Bellefontalne street. The gutter was so deep that the buggy was broken and she was thrown out on the ground, receiving serious injury. RINGLING BROS. COMING. A Popular Circus Soon to Visit Indianapolis. Ringling Brothers’ circus is to exhibit in Indianapolis again Monday, Aug. 8. Indianapolis people have learned to look for a visit from this popular show every two or three years and the Ringling Brothers always receive a welcome. There is a newness and brightness about the show and its personnel that attracts and holds attention. Probably no other circus management in the United States has so many personal friends. This year the show varied its annual opening by beginning the season In St. Louis. The new coliseum, an immense structure, larger than Madisoa-square Gar-
den. New York city, was selected for the opening. The subsequent tour extended over a number of Southern and Eastern States, including New England, where, in spite of the war excitement, it is said, the show won a full measure of success. Mr. Coxey, press agent of the show, says that everywhere the show has found the greatest interest and enthusiasm manifested in the war. This has given the new spectacular entry, “Under the Stars and Stripes.” a timely interest. In this display the crack regiments of the world are shown, with a patriotic finale, in which the Goddess of Liberty and the spirit of Cuba libre join hands under the flowing folds of old glory. This display is said to create intense enthusiasm. Every department of Ringling Brothers circus is, it is said, larger and better this year and many novelties not hitherto seen here are announced for this season. Colonel Walker Pleased. Col. I. N. Walker, one of the state tax commissioners, expresses satisfaction over the fact that appeals have been taken from tho decision of the County Board of Review in fixing the assessments of a score of corporations. He says that in traveling over the State to see that county boards complied with the tax law, he has been met with charges that large corporations in this county were not compelled to observe the law in making returns. He expressed belief that the appellants had rendered a public service in taking the appeals. He said that even if no changes were made in the assessments, the investigation that will result will satisfy the people and finally determine whether the law is being observed. H. A. Davis, one of those who appealed, is the manager of a manufacturing concern, which, he says, w T as taxed higher than he considered right, and when he looked over the books to see how other corporations fared he reached the conclusion that they were not assessed high enough and decided to bring the subject before the State Tux Board. Rowling at Fairview. At the Fairview Park bowling alley Wednesday night the first tournament of the A. D. S. Bowling Club was held. The alley was very tastefully decorated with flags and Japanese lanterns. The followiilg were the players: Miss Lucy Hansen, Mrs. William Holtman, Miss Flora Meyer, Miss Ollie Nieman, Miss Clara Ostermeyer, Miss Laura Piel, Mrs. John Prange, Miss Minnie Resencr, Miss Lzzie Schwler, Miss Clara Waterman, Messrs. Theodore Dammeyer, Louis Dfcdert, George Dunmeyer, Fred Esterbrook, Chris Hattendorf, William Holtman, Frank Prange, John Prange, Arthur Sudbrock, Emil Bock, Harry Vahle, F. A. Wilkening. Miss Clara Waterman won the first ladies’ prize on a score of 79, while the second prize went to Miss Lucy Hansen on a score of 67. The first gentlemen’s prize was won by C. Hattendorf, who scored 100, and the second by Arthur Sudbrock on a score of 85. Death of William Bruy. William Bray, a well-known veteran of the civil war, died at his home, No. 1002 Lexington avenue, yesterday, leaving a widow and six children. Mr. Bray was a member of Company G, Seventeenth Indiana Volunteers, one of the companies in the famous Wilder’s Brigade, to which Gov. • Mount and Lieut. Col. V. M. Backus, of the One-hundred-and-stxty-first Regiment, belonged. He was born in Johnson county, near Franklin, in 1543, and was well known in Southport and Greenwood. During his service in the war he was twice captured and on the last occasion was sentenced to be shot for breaking his parole. His life was saved by Major Owens, of the Second Kentucky Confederate Cavalry. The funeral will occur at Greenwood, Monday morning, at 10:30 o’clock. Penial Moore's Ingratitude. Pearl Moore, known to the police by many other names, proved conclusively yesterday that she had not the first principle of gratitude in her make-up. She had been in the police station the day before for loitering and immediately upon being released proceeded to get very drunk and went to the home of Mrs. A1 Huffner, on East Washington street. Mrs. Huffner did not know her, but, thinking’ she might be in a serious condition, did everything in her power for her and then went for the Dispensary doctors. While she was gone the woman evidently recovered rapidly, for when Mrs. Huffner returned- her visitor had gone, and with her a hranu-ii&W pair of shears. Gar Held Park Concert.

Fitzgerald to trade the old Journal building for the Board of Trade building on Maryland street, has received several other propositions for anew location. Among the properties offered are the old Sentinel building, on Monument place; the Emery property, At Kentucky avenue and Illinois street; the Claypool buildings at the Northeast corner of Washington and Illinois streets, and opposite the Denison Hotel; the Palmer place, at tho Southwest corner of Illinois and Maryland street, and several others. All sites offered will be carefully considered. Row at Bell’s Barrel House. Bell’s barrel house, at the corner of Illinois and Georgia streets, was the scene of a quarrel last night which developed Into a form of target practice for the porter. It is claimed William King and Harry Brown, two colored men, have been trying to cause trouble there for some time, and last night went to look for more trouble. The porter succeeded in driving them from the place with a revolver, and as they ran west on Georgia street he followed, shooting every time they afforded a good target. He fired five shots, but none of them hit the mark. The police arrested King and Brown, but could not find the porter. Tried to Assist a Woman. John Beck, ah old colored man who lives in the w r est part of town, found himself in trouble yesterday after he had tried to assist a woman who had been put under arrest by Patrolman Moore. The woman was drunk, and when arrested by Moore, Beck Interfered. This phase of the incident had no more effect than to add another passenger to the patrol wagpn when it arrived. 6LANCO TO BE CENSORED. His Dispatches Will Be Read by Shatter When Santiago Is Occupied. WASHINGTON, July 16.—Captain General Blanco at Havana will be deprived of all means of communication with his government at Madrid, except through a strict censorship, when the American army formally takes possession of Santiago. There can be no doubt on this queston, as General Shafter will direct, immediately on taking charge of the city, that American operators be placed in the telegraph offices there. The signal officials will maintain a censorship of everything that is offered for transmission from Havana over the cable leading to Haiti or 10 Jamaica and nothing will be permitted to be sent which is in any way inimical to thejnterests of this government. Cable Caught by aa Anchor. OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 14, via Playa del Este, July 15 (delayed in transmission.)—The last cable from Santiago de Cuba was caught this afternoon by the anchor of the Massachusetts, off Augadores, just as the surrender of Santiago was announced. The rinding of the cable was accidental. It has been decided to buoy the cable for future use, and not to cut it. Cable Laid to Balqulrl. PLAYA DEL ESTE.

TO ADJUST TROUBLES ■■ ♦ IMPORTANT COMMISSION APPOINTED BY THE PRESIDENT. + Senator Fairbanks and Others to Meet Canadians and Discuss Our Relations with the Dominion. a WASHINGTON, July 16.—The President has appointed the following commissioners to meet a similar commission on the part of Great Britain and Canada, for the purpose of adjusting the relations between the United States and Canada: Senator Charles W. Fairbanks, of Indiana: Senator George Gray, of Delaware; Representative Nelson Dingley, of Maine; Hon. John A. Kasson, of lowa, and Hon. Jonn W. Foster, of the District of Columbia. Senator Fairbanks's Appointment. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, July 16.—Tlie appointment of Senator Fairbanks as chairman of the American wing of the joint commission to inquire into and report a basis of settlement for the innumerable disputed questions between this country and Canada is a surprise to the public, though not to the senator’s immediate friends. Tire place was tendered to him immediately after the passage of the act providing for the commission. At that time he felt that he could not, in justice to himself, accept the honor, with the close study and hard work involved, and he declined. He already had his work for the summer and fall cut out and his programme fully arranged. The President accepted the declination with regret, but later again urged the appointment on his friend from Indiana. He presented the case with such earnestness that Senator Fairbanks yielded and consented to face the hardest work of his life. The commission will begin its sittings on the first of August and continue them for an indefinite period.The American commissioners present a strong aggregation, though the President is disappointed over his inability to command the services of Senator Gorman, who at the last minute was obliged to decline appointment, not feeling equal to the strain. Col. Foster and Representative Dingley are probably better acquainted with the merits of many of the pending disputes than their associates, but it will not be long before the distinguished quintet will be keeping perfect step. The place to which Senator Fairbanks has been called is the most important, historically considered, that he has yet held. OMAR BUNDY PROMOTED. Appointed Captain of Infantry by the President.

WASHINGTON, July 16.—About 80 per cent of the applicants for the war loan to whom bonds will be allotted specify that they want coupon bonds. This is construed at the Treasury Department to mean that a large proportion of the subscriptions are for speculative purposes. That is to say, they are subscribed for with the expectation of finding a sale later on. About 860,000,000 of the new war loan Is subscribed for in blocks of $5,000. This round figure seems to have- been immensely popular, and only a small percentage of those who subscribed for that amount will get their bonds. A great many shrewd people, anticipating a division at the $5,000 line, put in applications for $4,980 and for sums between $4,500 and $4,980. All of these subscribers will get their bonds. A cut of the battle ship Maine has been engraved on the face of the new bonds. Richmond’s Batch of War Bonds. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND, Ind., July 16.—The people of this city secured about $160,000 worth of the war bonds. The banks subscribed for $120,000 worth for their patrons, and about $40,000 worth were subscribed for through other sources. Sheep Ejected from Yosemlte Park. WASHINGTON, July 16.—The secretary of the Interior has received information that special forest agents have ejected more than 85,000 sheep from the Yosemite Park, California, and will in a short time probably succeed in removing the others now on that reserve. Secretary Bliss has heretofore requested the detail of troops to the several national parks in California, but the soldiers so assigned were removed in order to accompany the Philippine expedition. Many complaints were received concerning the invasion of sheep men and a special inspector was sent to take charge of the parks and was subsequently designated acting superintendent. with directions to employ from ten to twenty-four men as assistant forest agents. These men have succeeded in ejecting the sheep mentioned. The secretary of war has also detailed an officer and ten men of the Utah Volunteer Cavalry to patrol Yosemite, Sequoia and General Grant national parks. These men have been told to report to the. acting superintendent for instructions, and it is hoped that by their assistance the destruction of the forests by fire may be prevented. The Interior Department has used every effort in its power to protect these parks. Ex-Queen “Lit” Starts for Hawaii. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, July 16.—Ex-Queen Liliuokalanl and her suite left Washington for Honolulu this evening. She has been away from Hawaii for nineteen months. Contrary to the common understanding, the deposed queen is a rich woman in her own right. Besides the crown lands, amounting to about 1,000,000 acres, it is said, to which she has shadowy title, she has very valuable sugar estates near Honolulu which are rented at figures which yield her a handsome income. She is unsettled as to what claim she will make for indemnity for the seizure of crown lands by the Dole government. She appears to be in a very comfortable frame of mind and Is not in an aggressive mood at all. The War Department will at once begin laying a cable between this country and Honolulu. It will probably be completed before the end of the current year. No Yellow Fever in the Country. WASHINGTON, July 16.—Surgeon General Wyman, of the Marine Hospital Service, says there is not a single case of yellow fever in this country so far as he knows, and preparations are making to receive yellow fever patients.

that Secretary Alger will soon order the two companies of soldiers at Tortugas, off the Florida coast, to some other point, and this place will then revert to the Marine Hospital Service, in whose custody it was befobe the war broke out. General Notes. WASHINGTON, July 16.—T0-day’s statement of the condition of the treasury shows: Available cash balance, $245,173,954; gold reserve, $179,243,342. The work of classifying the new bond issue has progressed sufficiently to enable the Treasury Department to announce that all subscriptions for $4,980 and less will be awarded. A considerable balance will be prorated among the $5,000 subscriptions. Richard Sylvester, since 1885 chief clerk of the District police department, was today appointed by the District commissioners as major and superintendent of the police force, to succeed the late W. G. Moore. THE CHAPLAIN’S STORY ♦ ■ WOUNDED RECTOR'S EXPERIENCE WITH SPANISH SHARPSHOOTERS. * Mangled Men Felt on the Way to Slboney Hospital and Others Kept Hnngry Buzzards at Bay. * NEW YORK, July 16.—The Rev. Dwight Galloupe, rector of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, Newark, who is known ae the “sil-ver-tongued orator of Newark,” and who went to the front as chaplain of the Ninth United States regulars, was seen at hia home to-day. He was wounded at the battle before Santiago and returned to Newark last night. A shell burst in front of him and a mass of earth, which he estimated weighed several hundred pounds, struck him. His right arm is helpless temporarily, his right leg cannot be used, his body is black and blue, and he has hemorrhages as a result of his injuries. Mr. Galloupe is in a critical condition. He said: “Tw r o days before the battle which occurred on the Ist of July, I was half a mile from the head of the firing line artd attending to my duties as chaplain of the Ninth Regiment, when I was affected by sunstroke. This necessitated my removal to the hospital at Siboney, eight miles away. While lying on a cot In the hospital word was received that the battle was on. I determined to go to the front and attend to the wounded of my regiment. Permission was not given me, and while the surgeon had his attention turned in another direction I slipped out of the hospital and walked to where the Ninth Regiment was stationed, just outside of the city of Santiago. I did my best to care for the sick and wounded. I did not wear the Red Cross badge on my sleeve, for it did not matter, as the Spaniards did not respect it. “During the latter part of the battle an immense shell burst right In front of me. It hurled the earth against my breast and threw me for a considerable distance. I was not rendered unconscious, but knew I should be of no further use during the battle. When I saw others fall about me I decided the best thing was to reach the hospital. There was only one ambulance on the shore during the battle and army wagons without springs had to be called Into use to bring those most dangerously wounded back to camp. The ride over the hard road In rough wagons was terrible. Those unable to get into the wagons started to crawl back to the hospital at Siboney. It was eight miles distant and the men had to go through jungles on their hands and knees. There was groaning all the way, and blood was everywhere to be seen. The Spaniards did not slacken their firing, but kept it up on us, sharpshooters in trees trying to pick off the wounded. “Had they known that we were wounded I believe they would have killed us all, but to give the impression that we were in fighting condition I took the rifle of one of the rren who fell and fired it. I shot from one place, then dragged myself in another place, filed and fled again, and fired in another direction to give the impression that the men in the line were able to shoot in all directions. It took the night of the first day and the middle of the next day to reach the hospital. The sufferings ot the wounded were beyond description, but all bore up manfully, and those injured not as severely as the others tried to cheer up their more unfortunate comrades. “Some of the wounded with me became exhausted after going a few miles and fell flat on the ground. Vultures could be seen soaring in the air above them, in a hurry to get at their prey. The other soldiers did not desert the men whose strength gave out, but lay down on the ground and with their pistols kept the vultures away from their comrades until the latter were picked up and hurried out of the way. I did what I could for the soldiers, and hope to be able to join my regiment without delay. “The newspaper men in and about Santiago covered themselves with glory. They helped wounded soldiers, carried them to the hospitals, and when the soldiers were unable to leave their place in line they biought food and provisions to them. They were constantly in danger, but did not mind it, and were always ready and willing to do anything they were asked to do.” No More “Overwrttlhg.” DETROIT, Mich., July 16.—The National Association of Local Fire Insurance Companies to-day adopted resolutions requesting presidents of all fire companies to sign an agreement to refrain from “overwriting.'• The names of companies complying will be published, and the association binds itself not to represent any company refusing to sign this agreement. An amendment to publish a “black list” was defeated. The convention wound up with a steamer rtde this afternoon and the annual dinner this even-

WELLMAN’S EXPEDITION. No t Permitted to Leave Archangel Sa me Time as a Spanish Ship Sailed. VARDOR, July 15 (delayed In transmission.)—The steam whaler Fridtjof, having on board Walter Wellman, and the members of his expedition to Greenland, arrived here to-day for coal, having left Solombola, a town near Archangel, cn July 5. The party sails northward to-morrow. On July 11 In latitude 77 north, seventeen miles south of h.anz Josefland, heavy pack ice was found. While at Archangel, the Governor of the place, refused to allow the Fridtjof and a Spanish ship to sail on the same day, saying he feared the hostilities between Spain ana the United States would cause an outbreak between the crews of the two ships, although the Spanish ship was a trader and the armament of Mr. Wellman’s steamer only consisted of a harpoon gun. Wreck of a Chinese Cruiser. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., July 16.—Details of the sinking of the Chinese cruiser FuChing, off Port Arthur, on June 9, confirm previous reports that the crew of 130 men were drowned, only the chief officer and three sailors escaping. The vessel was driven on shore by a strong wind. The crew sought refuge in the rigging. Men from the war ships In the harbor tried to save the sailors of the Fu-Ching by firing rockets with lines attached, but the Chinese did not know how to use the lines that reached them. The sea was too rough to permit the use of boats and in & few hours the cruiser was a total wreck, nearly all ths crew perishing. The Dutch steamer Smit, Captain Karst, was lost on June 3, off the Corean coast. The crew, consisting of seventeen Europeans, four Chinese, with seven Chinese aupercargoes, took to the ship’s three boats and the water being smooth, landed with little difficulty. They have since gone to Nagasaki. The Chess Tourney.
