WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-Thfi case of Alexander McCord, the American mining engineer imprisoned by the Peruvians during a revolution, and whose claim for *50,000 damages was subject for dispute between tile I nited States and Peru for a number of years, was yesterday referred to arbitration, the case being submitted to the lord chief justice of the Dominion of Canada, under the terms of the arbitration. Peace In Guatemala. WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.—Senor Arriaga to-day wired the Associated Press from Long Branch, N. J., where he is passing a part of the holnspell, that he had received a cablegram,.to-day from his home government saying; ‘’Revolution quickly suppressed. Peace prevails in Guatemala.” OMAHA “FLYER” HELD UP. Train Stopped, Express Safe Thrown Off and $8,2*0 Stolen. ST. JOSEPH. Mo., Aug. 11.—The incoming Omaha flyer on the Burlington road was held up at Dug Hill, two miles north of here, at 9 o’clock to-night, by five or six well-armed men. After securing possession of the express car, the robbers rolled the Adams Express Company’s small safe out of the car door into a wagon and endeavored to haul it away. They abandoned their task, however, and soon dumped the safe out on the Highway. The safe was recovered two hours after the hold-up. Though several shot 9 were fired to intimidate the trainmen, none of the passengers were molested. The robbers stopped the train by swinging a red lantern across the track. The engineer obeyed the signal amidst a fusillade from both sides of the track. One of the robbers cut the engine loose and compelled the engineer to run it down two hundred yards. The conductor came out when the train was stopped, but was ordered back into the smoker, where he remained. Express Messenger Hogue offered no leslstance. The robbers were but a few minutes rolling out the small safe and quitting the scene of the robbery. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 11.—It is stated by railroad officials here that the robbers secured $8,380 from the safe which they took from the express car on the Burlington at St. Joseph to-night, ADMIRAL KIRKLAND LOW. He May Not Recover from the Surgical Operation. VALLEJO, Cal., Aug. 11.—Rear Admiral Kirkland was very low to-day, the physicians having to resort to artificial respiration to keep him alive. He has since rallied. He is so weak that he is unable to raise the blood accumulating in the throat. Dr. W. E. Taylor, who was summoned by wire, came up from San Francisco. Everything possible is being done to preserve quiet. Orders have been given not to sound the bells in the navy yard. The physicians are not inclined to talk. Later—The veteran Admiral Kirkland is showing remarkable recuperative ability. His condition to-night has greatly improved and his physicians now entertain no fear of his dissolution during the night, unless an unexpected relapse should occur. The Sixth Ma*aehu*ettH. New York Commercial Advertiser. The more it is examined the more unreasonable and puerile appears the conduct of the Sixth Massachusetts' officers in resigning their commissions. They were simply asked to conform to wist' and necessary army regulations—to pass certain examinations for fitness. They refused to take the examination and the only explanation of their ref aml is that they were incompetent, knew they were incompetent and rather nan be proved incompetent sought escape in childish, if not cowardly, resignation. The appointment of Colonel Rice to the vacant colonelcy is excellent. He is a soldier by profession and practice. He served throughout the civil war and commanded what General Miles calls the "best regiment in the Army of the Potomac.” It is quite certain that he will not resign his commission rather than submit to an examination deemed wise, salutary and necessary by the disciplinary officers of the army.

PREPARING TO MOVE 0 VOLUNTEERS AT CIIICKAMAUGA WILL SOON BE MARCHING. Brigadier General McKee Directed to Proceed to Knoxville and Prepare a Camp for His Division. GEN. BARNETT’S MEN RESTING * MAY MARCH FROM THOROUGHFARE GAP TO MIDDLETOWN. - ♦ Copptoffer's Corps Ordered to Huntsville, Ain—Shatter's Camp Named in Honor of Colonel W ikoff. * CHICKAMAUGA PARK. Ga.. Aug. 11.— The principal order received at Camp Thomas to-day was one directing Brigadier General McKee and Brigadier General Sanger to proceed at once to the new campgrounds selected for the encampment of the Second and Third Divisions of the First Corps, respectively. General McKee, commanding the Second Division, was ordered to Knoxville, Tcnn., and General Sanger, commanding the Third Division, was ordered to Lexington, Ky. General McKee left this evening, while General Sanger expects to leave to-morrow morning. These officers were instructed to arrange all preliminaries at the respective camp grounds for an early movement.It will, perhaps, be ten days before any of the regiments are ordered out. It will be decided in the meantime whether the troops will be sent to these points by rail, or be required to march the whole of the distance. General Breckinridge is desirous of having the regiments march the whole of the way. General McKee’s division would have to march only about 120 miles, while General Sanger’s division would be confronted by a march of about 300 or 350 miles. While, according to present plans, about half the troops at this camp are to be removed to the new camp grounds there is not the least abatement ( in the plans Inaugurated to Improve the sanitary conditions of Camp Thomas, and to rid it of such fever as exists among the soldiers. New hospitals are being erected, lime is being scattered throughout the camps and the regiments are being provided with water boilers. Major Griffin began this morning near Lytle the erection of a hospital of tents sufficient in size for all. Governor Holcomb, of Nebraska, arrived to-day and inspected the Nebraska troops. “CAMP WIKOFF.” Name Given to .lie Rponperating Rendezvous of Shatter * Army. WASHINGTON Aug. 11.—Adjutant General Corbin announces that hereafter the designation of the camp at Montauk Point will be Camp Wikoff, In honor of Col. Charles. A. Wikoff, of the Twenty-second United States Infantry, who was killed at the head of his brigade on the Ist of July at Santiago. This order was issued by direction of the President. Adjutant General Corbin has sent the following order to Gen. Young, commanding at Montauk Point, N. Y.: "The secretary of war directs that you co-operate with Surgeon Magruder, United States Marine Hospital Service, to establish and fix quarantine grounds and anchorage fer the transports bringing General Shafter’3 command to Montauk Point. As each transport arrives quarantine officers will board it and raise the yellow flag and make personal inspection of the troops on the transports. If no yellow fever cases are found the sick will be removed to general hospital and the well to detention camp, where they will be held three to five days and then moved to general camp. If any yellow fever cases are found they will be taken off and put aboard the sanitary barge or put in yellow fever hospital. Other sick will be moved to general hospital and the well be detained in detention camp eight or tea days. No person will be allowed aboard a transport while the yellow flag is up without w ritten pass cff Surgeon Magruder. A revenue cutter has been ordered to Montauk Point to enforce sanitary and quarantine harbor regulations.” Arrival of Rouffli Riders. NEW YORK, Arg. 11.—Colonel Roosevelt’s Rough Riders, known in military parlance as the First United States Volunteer Cavalry, arrived.in Jersey City last night on their way to the camp of recuperation at Montauk, L. I. The troops number about six hundred and are commanded by Maj. George M. Dunn. They consist of Troops C, H, L and N and squads of Troops E, F and G. The first section was commanded by Capt. George H. Curry. He said that tne troops under Major Dunn’s command had never been in Cuba. Eight troops of the regiment went to Santiago, he said, but were obliged to leave their horses behind. The four full troops, C, H, L and N, and squads of Troops E, F and G were left at Tampa to guard and care for the horses. There were a few sick men in Major Dunn’s command, but they were able to leave and not more than a dozen were left behind at the hospital. Each section as it arrived was taken ever to Bay Ridge on board ferry boats. At Bay Ridge the men were sent on a special train over the Long Island Railroad. Without Shelter. NHfW YORK. Aug. 11.—Many of the soldiers at Montauk camp are still without shelter. Detachments of troops continue to arrive and many of those who came today will be without shelter to-night. There are nearly fifty sick soldiers in the hospital tents who are without comfortable beds or good nourishment. Fresh milk is needed for the typhoid patients. It is stated that arrangements are being made to have an ample supply of milk shipped to the camp every day. The men of the Sixth Cavalry are now all provided with tents and are as comfortable as circumstances will permit. a FROLIC ON AMELIA BEACH. Stadehaker’s Men Having Fun In the Surf at Fernandina. Correspondence of the Journal. FERNANDINA. Fla., Headquarters of the One-hundred-and-Fifty-seventh Indiana Volunteers, Aug B.—A party from Colonel Studebaker’s regiment, composed of Capt. Charles Wiwlisch, of Company A. and Privates William Sloan, Frank Haskins, Commissary Sergeant Charlie Peelle, Privates Beaver, Finch, John Vanhorn and William Barrick. of the same company, made an excursion to the ocean beach last evening for a surf hath, and Private Haskins had quite an experience. Avery large w'ave, to which he had his back turned, rolled him over with great force, causing him to turn seveial somersaults. He was dragged along the bottom and had his knee cut The other members of the party had similar experiences. Private John Vanhorn had taken a dive under the water and was just returning to the surface in order to draw a fresh breath when a large wave came rolling over him, and instead of getting a fresh breath he received a draught of ocean brine. The Strathmore Hotel Is situated along the beach, about a half mile south of the shell road. It is not a modern affair, being a frame building, used several years ago as a summer hotel, v but during the past years partly abandoned. The great rush of visitors to secure hotel accommodations has caused the proprietors to turn the same into a three-dollar-a-day hotel, which is simply robbery, considering the accommodations. One of the guests says his bed fell apart and he v as compelled to spend a half hour repairing it. Visitors who have seen the great summer resorts along the Atlantic coast state that no beach affords

better surf bathing than this'place. The bottom of the ocean here is hard, and when the tide goes out it leaves a space of about two hundred feet, which is as hard as an asphalt pavement. Men and women on horseback, bicycle riders and carriages make use of the beach for a drive. With improvements Amelia beach would be one of the finest on the Atlantic. Private Ed Lenfesty. of Company M, Plymouth, killed a reptile about five feet long, which some claim is a moccasin and others say is a king snake. Private John Portz skinned and dried the hide and Private Lenfesty will send it to his Northern home as a memento of this scrub-brush camp. Second Lieut. William Lankenaw, commissary officer of the regiment, has drawn thirteen days’ field rations. This is an indication that we will be here at least two weeks yet. While there are a number of sick in this regiment, confined to their quarters doing light duty, other regiments have double the number of sick. Yesterday the Sixty-ninth New York sent forty men to the division hospital, while Colonei Studebaker’s regiment sent but three. The cause of so much sickness in the \arious regiments in this vicinity has not been explained. Some state that the men contracted a certain amount of malaria In the unhappy Port Tampa City camp, w'hile others believe the long drills the men are compelled to make three times a week is the cause. The former reason is in harmony with the opinion of the majority of surgeons. The healthy camp In which the men are now situated will soon bring them back to their oid vigor. The soldiers are expecting to be paid off in a few days, and when it is done this place will have the unprecedented expenditure of about $169,000. Colonel Studebaker’s regiment will receive about $26,000 as its share On every side shacks and shanties are rising like mushrooms in the night as places for the distribution of wares. Shooting galleries, restaurants, lunch counters, canteens, lemonade and limeade stands, pawnshops and curiosity shops are recent acquisitions, while ganiblers, knife games, news stands, pie venders, fruit dealers and a host of other itinerants have not failed to come from Tampa, following the soldiers as they would a circus. The colored population is reaping a harvest. The men are busied with various kinds of work, cooking, teaming.and peddling. The women have more washing than they can do. and some of them have neglected this work to sell pies through the camp. The trade has opened with such phenomenal briskness that most of the servants have quit their places *vnd entered into a general huckstering trade. This state of affairs is a serious one for housekeepers, who now require the assistance of servants more than ever The names of the newly selected corporals from Company I, Waterloo, are as follows: L. Karnell. Barney Coleman, Henry Lehman, E. D. Martin. S. C. Carter, L. E. Perry. Corporal Charles Mcßride has been promoted to quartermaster sergeant of Company I. Free Moore has been assigned to the position of sergeant. The members of the regimental’ band made an excursion to Old Fernandina this morning. Chief Musician Oscar Vef Weire stated that there are manv interesting sights and that it is worth the while to make the trip. • Aug. 10.—To-day was pay day with the men of Colonel Studebaker’s regiment, and $26,00) was distributed among them. Last evening a severe windstorm, followed by a drenching rain, visited the camp. One large hospital tent and two makeshifts, under which the sick were confined, were blown over. Chaplain Charles S. Medbury, Dr. H. C. Moses, of Angola, and Privates Ed Longfieid and James Latta, of the hospital corps, were on the scene, and managed to hold up the canvas until help arrived. Chef Charley Carpenter anti Lieut. William S. McLeod, of Fort Wayne, Charles Kinney, quartermaster sergeant, and Hospital Seward O. G. Schell were the first to arrive. Quartermaster Harman L. Hutson notified the officers, and in a few minutes enough men were on hand to put up twenty tents. The tents were put up in a much firmer condition. Fortunately, no one was hurt. Yesterday afternoon the men of Colonel Studebaker’s regiment, including the two other regiments of this brigade, were given an eight-miie march. Only three rests were allowed, and it was quite a test. Not a man of * Company F, South Bend, dropped out of the ranks on account of the heat, while other companies lost several men. The weather was very warm and a breeze was blowing whicn carried the dust and sand into the faces of the men and made the march quite uncomfortable on the way to the beach. Brig. Gen. Robert Hall has personal direction of the marches and has ordered them three times a week. The sad news of the death of Second Lieut. William W r . Kerr, of Company B, Fort Wayne, at St. Petersburg. Fla., has been received. A few days before the One-hundred-and-fifty-seventh Regiment left Port Tampa City Lieutenant Kerr was taken to St. Petersburg w'fth the hope that he might be able to regain his health. A week ago word was received that he was improving and all his friends were sanguine that he would recover, but the nevys of his death came like a thunderclap. The men could hardly believe it. Lieutenant Kerr was a very courteous, affable and accommodating officer and did not leave a stone unturned to make the men of Company B as comfortable as possible. He was very well liked by all who knew him His sickness was contracted in the malaria infested Port Tampa City camp. It is the opinion that had the One-hundred-and-fifty-seventh Indiana never been camped at that unfortunate place it never would have lost a man. Other regiments experienced the same trouble. Last night Sergeant Buel King. Privates Herbert Stansbury, Jay Wolf, Clarence Wemple, Frank Mayfield, Norman Pearman and John Green, of Company L. Ligonier, Ind., slept in the canvass duck hammock under the star-studded canopy of heaven. Private George Hire, of Company L, Ligonier, is reaping quite a harvest as company barber. His shop is situated near the top of the hill, under the shade of a tree that was left standing when the camp was grubbed. His barber chair is an antiquelooking affair, but serves its purpose. Sergt. E. F. Kiston, of Company L, is out of the lemonade and limeade business. An order was issued by Brig. Gen. Hall closing all lemonade stands in the regiments, for the reason that it has been tne experience at Tampa that these booths jeopardize the health of the men, and that it is to their interest that they be closed. Most of the regiments in this vicinity, except the One-hun-dred-and-flfty-seventh, have a canteen, but these were not molested. The lemonade stand of Company L has been a boon to the men and is missed very much. All the profits have gone to the mess fund, and the income from this source, which has been quite large, is now cut off. B. J. E. — ORDERED TO HUNTSVILLE. General Copplnger’* t’orp* Will Be Moved from It* Florida Camp. WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.—Major General Coppinger’s army corps formally has been ordered from Florida to Huntsville, Ala. It ha been announced that this corps would be mcved*from Florida, but not until to-night did Adjutant General Corbin promulgate the official order for the movement of the troops. Shortly before 1 o'clock General Corbin builtined the following dispatch from General Coppinger informing him that the movement of the corps was being executed promptly; "Port Tampa, Fla., Aug. 11. "Telegram ordering corps to Huntsville just received. Corps headquarters already on train; will therefore leave for Huntsville direct and after selection of proper camp the troops of General Snyder’s command at Tampa, followed by those of General Carpenter's at Fernandina, will be put en route.” LONG* MARCH FOR HOOSIERS. The 159th Indiana May Tramp to Middletown, Pa., 140 Miles. WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.— The Second Division of the Second Army Corps, under command of General Davis, is to continue its march and eventually locate at Middletown, Pa. The plan contemplated by Gen. Davis is to march his troops in a northeasterly direction to Leesburg. Va.. from there to the Potomac and cross the river at Point of Rocks and on to Frederick. The next prominent point on the route is Emmittsburg, Md., and from there the division will pass through Hanover. York and Harrisburg. on to Middletown. The distance by this route is about 140 miles and General Davis expects to average fourteen miles each day. The army wagons that started on the way to Camp Alger yesterday to transport the First Division to Thoroughfare Gap were hastily ordered to return to-day. At Camp Alger it is said that the orders directing the movements of the troops will be changed so that the Second Division will remain at Thoroughfare Gap and the First Division go to Middletown. Pa., or that the Second Division will proceed as ordered, and the First go to Seagirt. The continued rains have put a stop to drills. The typhoid epidemic is now believed to be at an end. onlv five cases being reported at Camp Alger today. A special to the Star from Thoroughfare Gap, Va.. says that Judge Advocate Dudley, of the United States army, arrived in camp last night to try Assistant Surgeon and Captain Duncan, of the Twenty-second Kansas Regiment, charged with desecrating the grave of a Confederate officer at Bull Run. The court of inquiry to investigate the .alleged brsach of discipline by the Third Virflnia is made up as follows: Colonel Gross, ‘liird Missouri; Lieut. Col. W. S. Edgeriy,

inspector general Second Army Corps; Lic-ut. Col. William P. Dubail. ordnance officer of the corps, and Lieut. Charles P. Summerall, recorder. The court will begin its work in the morning. Preliminary Injunction. HARRISBURG. Pa., Aug. 11.-Harry P. Young, son of the late James Young, of Middletown. Pa., on whose farm it is proposed to establish a military camp, to-day secured a preliminary injunction against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to prevent it building a siding on the farm. Young charges that the company did not proceed according to the law governing the right of eminent domain by first going into court. Judge Biddle granted the injunction and fixed to-morrow afternoon as the time for trial, when the railroad company will show that it is merely acting as agent of the government and by its direction, and that the government has a right to appropriate property in time of war without question. It is not thought that the injunction w’ill hold. a SOLDIERS SOAKED TO THE BONE. Terrible Two Day*’ Experience of the One-Hwndred-and-Fifty-Ntnth. Correspondence of the Journal. HEADQUARTERS ONE -HUNDRED-AND-FIFTY-NINTH INDIANA VOLUNTEERS, in camp at Thoroughfare Gap, Aug. 10.—The last night at Chapel Springs was spent in a rainstorm which lasted until early morning. When the bugle sounded reveille in the morning it was a bedraggled, crowd of soldiers seen in the camp. A night in the leaky little dog tents had wet every man to the bone. Undaunted they swallowed a hasty breakfast, and, shouldering their packs, rrade doubly heavy by the moisture, started off on apother march of fifteen miles. About two miles out it was discovered that the pontoon bridge over Broad run, which had been erected the day before, had been swept away, and it was necessary to wade the creek. The water was up to the average waist, and each man of the ten thousand who crossed the run that day removed his clothing and carried it over on his head. Many of the men, having carefully loaded their personal effects, lost their footing in the center of the swift water and 'fcent down, clothing and all, to the amusement of every one In sigiit. The laugh did not last long, however, for a few miles farther along a driving rainstorm came up and for the next two hours the men splashed through the rain and mud until every man was as wet as the fellows who dropped in the creek. The roads of Virginia, so well described by the late Bill Nye, were experienced in all their glory of mud. The same men who so caretully picked a spot to walk over in the morning went spiashing through mud over their shoetops with the abandon, of a barefooted schoolboy. J t was 3 o’ciocK in the afternoon when the present camp was reached. The men unrolled their tents in the rain and were soon wet and miserable under the flimsy shelter. The rain continued fill night and to-day, and, to add to the horror of the situation, the ground on which the One-hundred-and-nny-ninth is now camped is on a newlyplowed field of yellow clay. In w r hich tne feet sink several inches. The long, wet march had a depressing effect upon the ailing men of the regiment and the doctors nad more than they could handle in striving to keep the sick men dry during the night. The regimental barber shop was up in the evening and it was loaned to the surgeons and a number of men on the sick list tound shelter under the tent. They were able to stand up in the dry at least. Hundreds of men preferred to stand under the shelter of the trees and risk the weather rather than the tents. "Stand up and watch yourself drowned,” said one or them with grim humor. The weather did not stop to-day, and every man was busy all day trying to keep enough fires to cook their meals. The statement that there was an abundance of water at Thoroughfare Gap is now readily believed. It is not the best water, however, as they will also cheerfully testify. There are many small springs in the vicinity, but the water is not good. The water will be hauled and later on piped to the camp from a large spring about two miles away. •To the west of the camp is a chain of large hills, called Bull Run mountains by courtesy. The place takes its name from a gap between two of these "mountains,” just west of the camp. A branch of the Southern Railroad runs through the center of tile camp and the nearest postoffice is Thoroughfare, a small Village about one mile from camp. The site selected seems to be a very desirable one at present, although it will be necessasry to rearrange the camp as soon as the large tents are secured. It was expected that all extra baggage would be forwarded from Camp Alger at once, but it is not yet here, and there is no telling when it wilLbe. In the meantime the men will soak ini the small tents and "soldier ’ in the regulation way. The government mail service is the most prompt thing to be noticed about the camp. The first mail delivery in the new camp was made within an hour after the division reached camp, and to-day the United States mail boxes were put up among the regiments. Lieutenant Hutchings, of Company H, who reported for duty Monday, stood one day of the weather and is worse again at Manassas. Lieutenant Wood returned to-day from Evansville, where he has been on a leave of absence. He sported in a nice new uniform. which was sadly soiled before he had eaten one meal in the new camp. Captain Starr, of Company I, joined his company last night, after a short sick leave. He came over from Camp Alger by rail. G. W. B. Will Rest a Few Day*. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MANASSAS, Va., Aug. 11.—The order was received from the War Department ordering the Second Division of the Second Army Corps to locate at Middletown. Pa. for a permanent camp. The move will not be made from Thoroughfare Gap for a few days, as the men will need a short vacation in order to recover from the last few days’ exposure. There has been some talk of marching the men to the new camp, but this will probably not be carried out. The extra baggage for the men will be brought up from Camp Alger before the next move is made, it will probably not come before Sunday. Dr. Stunkard reports that there is about one-fifth the sickness now in the One-hun-dred-and-fifty-ninth Indiana Regiment which existed when the camp at Falls Church was broken. Mneicinn Hind* Dead. Special to the Indianapotls’Journal. NOBLESVILLE, Ind., Aug. 11.—A telegram this evening announced the death by typhoid ‘fever, in the general hospital at Fort Myer, Va., of Richard L. Hinds. He was a member of the One-hundred-and-fifty-ninth regimental band. His father left for his bedside yesterday and will reach Washington to-morrow morning. Hinds was about twenty-one years old, and was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Hinds, of this city. There is great sorrow in the city to-night over the sad news. He was a very popular young man. More Victim* of Typhoid. ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 11.—Three enlisted men died to-day of typhoid fever in the general hospital at Fort McPherson—a total of ten deaths from this disease in sixty hours. To-day’s dead are: Privates E. L. Miller. Company A. Fourth Pennsylvania Volunteers; Robert Vaughn. Company M, Nineteenth Infantry; Daniel Fisher, Troop M, Second United States Cavalry. Fifty of the four hundred cases of typhoid fever under treatment are in a serious condition. Ex-Pre*ldent Andrew* at Home. Harper's Weekly. It will not be surprising if Dr. Benjamin Andrews, late of Brown University, should find the woolen VV est very much to his taste. LT. Andrews likes to talk, and has plenty to say. Since he became superintendent of schools in Chicago lie has made a speech at Madison, Wis., in which again, as once before, he predicted a great European war, to come pretty soon, with Unde Sam concerned in it. He recalls our traditional policy of nonintervention in European matters ’ keeping the role of the hermit nation," and talks of our “taking a hand in the settlement of the Eastern question.” With ideas of this sort running in his head, such a personal experience of territorial expansion as is incidtnt to the transfer from Providence to Chicago must be grateful to his feelings.

HAY PROVOKE A WAR . NO FURTHER DOUBT THAT CHINA HAS YIELDED TO RUSSIA. ♦ Mr. Balfour Admits the Gravity of the Situation, and Say* It I* Eugnaing Great Britain's Serious Attention. ♦ FLEET STILE AT GIBRALTAR ORDERED TO REMAIN THERE TO AWAIT DEVELOPMENTS. Intimation from Russia, that India May Be Invaded—Grandson of the Danphin in Prison. *- LONDON, Aug. 11.—The Daily Mail says to-day: “We understand that the FrancoBelgian contract for the construction of the Peking-Han-Kow railway has been ratified by the Tsung-Li-Yamen and actually signed.” On the contrary the Peking correspondent of the Times, telegraphing Wednesday', said the contract was still unratified, that the Belgian minister was pressing for an imperial rescript, directing ratification, and that England “should endeavor to delay the ratification until the objectional clauses in favor of Russia are removed.” In the House of Commons to-day Mr. A. J. Balfour, the first lord of the treasury and government leader, admitted that the statements in the Peking dispatch to the Times were substantially correct, and said that the matter was “engaging the serious attention of the government.” This statement was received with cheers. The correspondent of the Times cabled that the Tsung-Li-Yamen had given formal assent to all the conditions demanded by the Russian charge d’affaires, M. Pabloff, regarding the contract for the Nlu-Chwang Railroad extension loan, these conditions being in direct conflict with the terms of the signed contract and designed as a blow at British concessions. A dispatch received here to-day from Gibraltar says the departure from that place of the British military squadron, which was fixed for to-day, has been countermanded and the squadron has been ordered to remain at Gibraltar, while awaiting further orders. It is not known whether this change in the Admiralty's plans has any connection with the situation in the far East. The Peking correspondent of the Times says: “Baron.de Vinck, the Belgian minister, yesterday sent a dispatch to the Tsung-Li-Yamen, asserting that M. Pavloff, the, Russian charge d'affaires, and M. Gerard, the French minister, had joined him in urging the Tsung-Li-Yamen to disregard the attempt of the British minister, Sir Claude MacDonald, to prevent the ratification of the Peking-Hankau contract. It is confidently asserted that, despite the British endeavor to obtain a revision of the contract, an imperial decree will issue forthwith for its ratification. The unfriendly role of the Belgian minister throughout merits the strongest condemnation.” All the morning papers, including the supporters of the government, attack Lord Salisbury for weakness in dealing with the Chinese question. The Daily Chronicle says: "What is to be the result nobody can say. There is room for the gloomiest forebodings. Does the country realize that for want of a little foresight and firmness Great Britain may ere long be plunged into a colossal war? Such without the least doubt or exaggeration is the appalling possibility.” The Daily Mail says: “The door is closed. The proudly boasted British lion does not exist in the Yangtse valley. It is a mistake, and looking to what Lord Salisbury has done in Egypt, his failure in China is inexplicable.” The Standard says: “These repeated humiliations are becoming intolerable.” According to a special dispa tcht from Shanghai it is reported there that France has obtained China’s promise to lease her the Man-Tai district of Foo-Chow, together with the right to repair her war ships in the Chinese government dock yard at FooChow. Russia May Invade India. ST. PETERSBURG, Ayg. 11.—Following in the footsteps of the Novosti, the Novoe Vremya to-day eulogizes the Marquis of Salisbury for "the wisdom with which he keeps in check the Russophobe outbursts of members of his party and the prudence with which he endeavors to obviate all pretext for a misunderstanding between Great Britain and Russia.” Continuing, the Novoe Vremya says it observes that “unfortunately more than half the British public share Mr. Chamberlain's views.” But the Russian paper cannot understand “why the Russophobes are apprehensive of the Russians at Port Arthur.” The Novoe Vremya then remarks: “The results of the cession to Russia of Port Arthur and Ta-Lien-Wan will not show themselves. for seme time to come. A considerable period must elapse before these ports can serve the purpose for which they were intended by the Russian foreign policy—that of providing a permanent outlet in the Pacific ocean. Quite otherwise is Russia’s position on the Indian frontier, where everything has been long organized for military action if some extreme excess of ill will on the part of Great Britain should drive Russia to such action.” Comment* of the Paris Press. PARIS, Aug. 11.—The papers are full of significance of the Chinese question. The Matin says: “In China the greatest game in the world is being played and French intervention should be efficacious and decisive." The Soir has a sensational article headed: “War between England and Russia imminent.” The Journal des Debats says: “England is now seeking an arrangement with Russia. That understanding is impossible unless Russia remains mistress of the north and England is insured her influence on the Yangste river. In short, the lines of the section are beginning to be marked along which the disruption would otvur whenever China falls to pieces. Clearly neither France, Germany nor Japan could hold aloof from such an agreement.” The article hints that 1* ranee would support Russia in the event of war and says in conclusion: •'France will be content with the southern provinces bordering on Tonquin.” PRINCE L.OIIS IN PRISON. Grandson of the Dauphin Punished for Desert In- the Dutch Army. ST. LOUIS, Aug. 11.—A Paris cablegram to the Globe-Democrat says: News has just been received here of the sentence by a Dutch court-martial of the sol-disant Prince Louis of Bourbon to six months’ imprisonment. with hard labor, as a deserter. The individual in question is the grandson of that Dutch clock maker who claimed to be the dauphin son of Queen Marie Antoinette and King Louis XVI, and insisted that instead of being done to death by his jailer, Simon, in tho temple prison, he had been rescued by royalists and had escaped into Germany. His father's brothers declined to recognize him as their nephew, since it would have involved the loss of their rights to the throne on the restoration, and both of them, who reigned, respectively, as Louis XVIII and as Charles X over France, denounced him as an impostor. It has since been proved that the child burled as the dauphin at the time of his reputed death in prison could not possibly have been the eon of Queen Marie Antoi-

Ai ns v

nette. Moreover, the Dutch authorities, who are very strict about patronymics, and who prescribe severe penalties for the unlawful assumption of names, permitted both the soi-disant dauphin and his sons and grandsons to style themselves princes of Bourbon. It is as such that the individual just sentenced to imprisonment as a deserter served in the Dutch army with the rank of lieutenant, and there are large numbers of French royalists and even Republicans who believe in the validity of his claims. No one was more strongly convinced thereof than the celebrated Republican statesman, Jules Faures. who signed and concluded the treaty of peace in 1881 with Prince Bismarck at Versailles. As long as Faures lived he remained the legal adviser and chief champion of those Dutch Bourbons. The now imprisoned ex-lieutenant has spent a few years here in the role of a pretender. He was imprudent enough to venture upon a trip to The Hague a couple of weeks ago, and was also arrested as a deserter. His fate naturally causes much rejoicing among the adherents of the Duke of Orleans, who saw in him a far more serious rival of their leader than they were willing to publicly admit. MORE TROUBLE FOR BRITAIN. France Will Endeavor to Grab Additional Territory in Africa. LONDON, Aug. 12.—The Brussels cot respondent of the Daily Telegraph says: “Prince Aronberg. president of the French African committee, has issued a circular letter inviting subscriptions for the equipment of two missions to Lake Tchad, cental Africa, in place of the ill-fated Cazemajou expedition. The circular refers to the ‘English endeavor t<? seize all unappropriated territory in West Africa,’ and to the success similar expeditions have had in forestalling these attempts. It then appeals for French support of similar work in central Africa, enjoining speed and secrecy, ‘so as not to arouse the suspicion of our foreign rivals. The Paris correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, who also refers to rumors of another expedition to central Africa and to measures to strengthen the Marchand mission, says: "The present French government is strongly in favor of a forward policy in Africa, which it is prepared to carry out to the bitter end.” The Pope’* lilne** Slight. ROME. Aug. 11.—Dr. Lapponi and all the Vatican authorities confirm the statement that the Pope’s illness is slight. The doctor did not stay the night at the Vatican. Dr. Lapponi visited the Pope at 8 o’clock this morning. By Dr. Lapponi's advice the Pope remained out of bed only r'our hours. In an interview to-day the doctor explained that the Pontiff was fatigued by the preparation of his recent encyclical, but he hoped the Pope would be up to-morrow all day and that he would resume his audiences on Saturday. It is understood that the Pope’s intestinal trouble cAuses him great weakness, with fainting tits, and despite the reassuring tone of the official reports it is felt that the whole truth is being concealed. Japan Muy Make Cigarette*. VANCOUVER, B. C„ Aug. 11.—The steamer Empress of India brings the following Japanese advices: Officials of the Department of Communications are insisting on the desirability of reducing the present rate of postage onerhalf, to make it correspond to the penny stamp system adopted in England. The government is said to be inclined to entertain the proposal. The Japanese government is considering the advisability of starting the manufacture of cigarettes to help defray the deficit in the budget. The government would be able to raise by this means an additional 25,0C0,C00 yen. Fight with Anarchist*. BRUSSELS, Aug. 11.—While a policeman was arresting a militant Anarchist named Willems the latter shot and wounded the officer and then escaped. The Anarchist also shot several persons who attempted to capture him. but he was finally arrested and lodged in Jail. Later the police visited Willems’s lodgings, where they found two Anarchists, who promptly opened fire on the officers. A policeman replied to this fire, fatally wounding one of the Anarchists. His companion was captured. Rn**ln May Une Dynamite Gan*. ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 11.—It is announced here that in view of the success which has attended the use of dynamite guns in Cuba the minister of marine. Vice Admiral Tyrtoff, proposes to mount such weapons on four Russian war ships. Their use will be extended if they turn out to be satisfactory. The Jaimnene Election*. YOKOHAMA, Aug. 12.—Tho elections to the House of Representatives of the Imperial Diet promise a sweeping majority for Count Okuma’s government. The estimates for the next fiscal year show a deficit of 50,000,000 yen. Greece Will Not Sell War Ship*. ATHENS, Aug. 11.—The Greek government has declined an offer from the government of Nicaragua to purchase three of the largest ironclads of the Greek fleet. The Army Medical Service. Boston Transcript. As to the exclusion of the Red Cross and thf general hostility as to its services, that was probably the fault primarily of Surgeon Genetal Sternberg, who is a very self-suffi-cient and omniscient person. General Shafter was led by his assurances to adopt at Tampa an attitude of exclusion toward the Red Cross people, into which he put a little of the spice of his own arrogance: hut when, at the front, he saw the mistake he had been led to make, he appeared to be honestly anxious to remedy it. Miss Barton was given authority to press wagons into her service, and the work of her people was earnestly welcomed by many of the general's subordinates. It is very hard for the medical management at Washington to acknowledge Itself beaten and practically disgraced in the eyes of the country, and some of the men there will hate the Red Cross as long as they live for .-eeming io put them in the wrong. The fact is that the medical department was doomed from the start to a breakdown. I remember that I was told this as long ago as the middle of last April by an old Sanitary Commission man who had familiarized himself with present conditions. The department thought it had everything ready, but when the hard fighting came it seemed as if nothing had hem made ready. It is doubtful if the soldiers of any civilized power ever suffered more than our wounded men did before Santiago. It is perfectly true, however, as Mr. Kennan says, that never did an equal number of wounded men do so little groaning or complaining. Their silence under suffering was a most astonishing! thing. What we have heard of the “cries of the wounded” had led us to ex-

pect dreadful wails of anguish from the hospital. Asa fact, we heard little but the voices of the surgeons, with sometimes, to be sure, a low groan from a sufferer, but more often chaffing and laughter between, two or three of tho brave rnen. But there was one case in which the soldiers wept and whimpered like children. That was when in coming out of the influence of anaesthetics they found that a limb had been amputated. ' „ The Price of Bicycles. Springfield Republican. In years past, when the bicycle industry was in its bonanza days, the questipn of price was a minor one with the makers, but they are giving it a great deal of prayer this year, and just what the retail price is to be next year is more than ever perplexing. The makers have made some fatal mistakes in this line in the past years, and mistakes are luxuries that few can afford nowadays in the bicycle business. A prominent business man says that he considers it probable that by tar the best price the makers of first-class vtheels can fix upon will be $35. If they make it SSO, they will be bothered by a big crop of machines for $25: while if they put it at $36 they will really be likely to do away with a large share of the trade in the $25 wheel, for the reason that riders will be willing generally to pay $lO extra to get a “first-class article.” T.hco who are in a position to know say that it is very likely that the price of high-grade wheels next year will be as low as $35; but if not that there are strong Indications that it wil\ be at least under $45.
