In proper condition as rapidly vs possible. Water pipes are being laid and all the details are expected to be ready within a few days. It Is General Breckinridge's opinion that the orders to move camp will be executed during the early part of next week. General McKee's brigade will probably march to Knoxville, a distance of 120 miles. General Breckinridge arranged this evening for a sham battle exercise to-morrow morning, beginning at 8 o'clock. The Third Division of the First Corps, under General Sanger, will go out in search oi the enemy, which will be the Second Division of the Third Corps, under General Compton. A fund is being raised among the regiments for field day, which has been instituted by General Breckinridge, to occur on the third Saturday of each month. Various prizes will be distributed among the winners in the athletic sports to be indulged in. The First Vermont Regiment, which was recently ordered back to Vermont to go into camp, will leave at 8 o’clock to-morrow morning via the Southern and the Norfolk & Western railways. The regiment will march to Rossville, where its trains are in readiness. During the last day or two, including today, a large number of patients, have been removed from the regimental hospitals to the Sternberg reserve hospital. The work of furloughing convalescents also continues at e lively rate. A number of petitions have been circulated among the troops at Camp Thomas by privates who desire to be mustered out of the service, the purpose, it seems, being to secure a large number of signers and send the petitions to influential men to be used In securing a muster out. These petitions have resulted in arrests in two or three of the camps. The sick soldiers of the Pennsylvania regiments are to be sent home in first-class style. The excellently arranged hospital train from Philadelphia arrived here tonight, and the sick men, about 125 in all, will be put aboard to-morrow morning. The train will leave for Pennsylvania in the afternoon. The seats have been taken from the coaches and comfortable beds put in their places. The officers of the regiments think the plan of sending the sick home will save a number of lives. Major Frederick R. Bostwick, of the staff of the paymaster general, arrived to-day from Atlanta, where he has been stationed for some time. He comes to assist in the work of paying off discharged enlisted men and officers on detached service. A. J. Welch, chief clerk in tne railway mail service, in this division, has been ordered to proceed to Lexington, K y., to arrange to furnish mail tacilities to the soldiers to be encamped there.

STUDBBAKER’S REGIMENT. Details of the Deaths of Privates Archer and Kinney. Correspondence of the Journal. FERNANDINA, Fla., Camp of One-hun-dred-and-flfty-seventh Indiana Volunteers* Aug. 16.—Yesterday was a sorrowful day for Colonel Studebaker's men. At the regimental hospital occurred the deaths of Private Fred Archer, of Company G, Fort Wayne, and Private Fred Kinney, of Company B, Fort Wayne, Ind. The death of Private Archer was a particularly sad one. His mother, Mrs. Celia C. Archer, who had been informed of her son's illness, arrived the day prior to his death and assumed the role of nurse in order to give her son the best care he could possibly have. His appetite was fair and everything pointed to his recovery. On Monday morning a relapse tset in. About 10 o’clock he complained of feeling ill and constant watch was kept by his mother and the surgeons. At 12:46 he died. The cause of death has not yet been published, but it is said to have been malaria.’ The death of Private Kinney occurred at 8:15 a. m. The deceased had only been confined at the hospital four days. Shortly ■ before his end he seemed to rally and ate a very hearty rupper. He was a very congenial comrade and enjoyed the friendship of all members of Company B. He enliste.l at the first call, being at the time employed at Maysville, Ind., a small town, about twenty miles from Fort Wayne. His home was in Wisconsin. This is the second death within seven days In Company B, and the members are much grieved. The sickness here is giving the surgeons great deal of concern. When the men arrived from the unsanitary camp at Port Tampa City the regiments were given long inarches every few days. They had a certain amount of malaria in their systems, and It wac thought this place was entirely free of the disease and that the marches would be beneficial, but In a few days the report at elek call In the morning became very heavy. Th>* marches were increased and the sick call became larger. Then It was decided to postpone the long drills. The sick call in the One-hundred-and-lifty-seventh Indiana Regiment ran up to a total of two hundred men this morning. The men complained of fevers, backaches, headaches, etc. When a man is attacked by a fever or ague in this part of the country all will power and vitality is lost and the system becomes very weak in a few days. The men must be assisted to and from the tents by their comlades. The inhabitants of the old city of Fernandina, which is about one and a half miles from Fernandina and the camp of the One-hundred-and-fifty-seventh, have a great amount of malaria within their borders. The men are very happy that ail the troops will soon be moved to Huntsville, Ala. First Lieut. T. Frank Kemery has found, a very interesting relic to take with him to his Northern home. It is an old cotton hoe, which has become rusted with age. Lieutenant Kemery stated that there are many evidences that the place where the regiment is camped was at one time a cotton field. Various kinds of out-of-date Implements. also bricks from chimneys, etc., have been found. Yesterday Cant. Charles A. Wlndisch, of Company A, Knox, Ind., Second Lieutenant Bradford and D. L. Glazebrook broke the monoteny of camp life by joining an excursion party bound for Jacksonville. They had a delightful time. One thing noticeable Is that the soldiers do not get robbed at Jacksonville. A sumptuous dinner can be procured for 35 cents, while at Fernandina It cannot be had for less than 75 cents. Private Bert Gerard captured a rhinoceros bug. It resembles the large African beast In shape, but not in size. B. J. E.

GI'MJKII’S MES IXDIGSAST. Complaints AKalnut the Hoapltala Said to Be Groundless. Correspondence of the Journal. NEWPORT NEWS. Va.. camp of the One-hundred-and-sixtieth Indiana Volunteers, Aug. 17.—Another member of the One-hundred-and-sixtieth has been the victim of toughs in Bloodtield, the tenderloin of the city. The name of the soldier was not learned, but he was found in an unconscious condition by the provost guards and brought to cump last night. The Fifth Illinois Regiment will probably move to-morrow and the transportation of this regiment will be required in putting them on the train. Colonel Gunder’s men lollow the Illinois regiment. There has been some complaint made from this regiment or by malicious outsiders against the hospital corps of the One-hun-dred-and-sixtieth. It is said that Governor Mount inquired as to the efficiency of the Physicians with the regiment. Major J. J. Kyle, of Marion, and Captain F. W. Foxworthy and Lieutenant Eugene Buehler. of Indianapolis,’ are the staff. Major Kyle was constantly at division hospital at Camp Thomas, while Captain Foxworthy was detailed at Loiter Hospital. Lieutenant Buehler, who remained in entire control of the service of the sick in the regiment, proved a hard worker, efficient and satisfactory in every way. With limited facilities he created a model hospita. and gave such attention to the sick as kept the sick list far below that of any regiment next to the One-hundred-and-sixtieth. The death roll has been but three for the term of service, one of these being purely accidental. Another occurred away from the? care of the regimental hospital. Had any of the physicians or others connected with the hospital service been Incompetent or unfitted for the work the matter would have been reported to tha jjroper authorities at the proper time. The health record of the regiment, equaled by no other in the service, makes added comment unnecessary. Several members the lodge of Knights of Pythias visite i .he local knights one night recently and eejoyed their generous hospitality. The brigade review was held at the Casino Park, a beautiful plat of ground near the center of the city. Tuesday evening. 2here wu a big gathering of beautiful

Virginia ladies, and the soldiers marched gs heroes, to be admired and applauded. The mayor of the city, with his staff enforcers of law, reviewed the troops. The Indiana boys, in dark blue shirts and duck trousers, with campaign hats carefully slouched, marched by with the army stride that covers ground and never tires. The regimental band outdid itself. The Illinois men. forming a two-step regiment, could not distract the public attention from the long swing of the trained marchers who have been schooled in drilling in wooded places. Lieutenant Linville, of Company G, Columbia City, has his wife here. Lieut. W. C. Dunn, of Igansport, is one of the most efficient and studious officers of the One-hundred-and-sixtieth. To Captain Bender and his able lieutenant is largely due the efficiency of the company. Word has been received by members of Company L that Corporal Henry, of that company, recently reported dead, is still at Camp Thomas, in the Second Division hospital, and that he will recover. A third case of measles was reported today from Company F, the victim being Private Samuel Murphy. The disease was transmitted to -the Indiana boys bv the Kentucky regiment. G. S. CHANCE FOR COt RTS-MARTIAL. Officers to Be Tried for Eating Rations Issued to the Men. Corresxjomience of the Journal. THOROUGHFARE, Va., Headquarters One-hundred-and-fifty-ninth Indiana Volunteers, Aug. 16.—The regiment is still in camp here, and despite the fact that wagons, teams and extra baggage have been shipped for some time, the orders to move are still withheld. There have been many rumors, but from the best information at hand it is safe to guess that no troops will be moved to any place this week. It does not seem to be a definite fact that the division will even be moved to Pennsylvania. There is now a report that the division will be sent to Sea Girt. N. J. Regimental commanders have been ordered to report all officers who have been eating rations issued to the men. This practice has been followed for the past two weeks, for the reason that the officers have not been able to buy eatables along the route. The supply of provisions at each stopping place is soon exhausted and the merchants (?) cannot be induced to buy anew. Another cause offered by officers in defense is that the paymaster is three weeks overdue and many of them are slightly embarrassed over the fact. There are likely to be some very exciting trials if any of the officers are brought up for trial on these grounds. Captain Starr has been ordered to Camp Alger to relieve Lieut. John R. Gebhart, who has rejoined his command. A regular drill schedule has been announced and routine work will begin tomorrow. The aim is to break the monotony of the present camp, which may be in existence for another week. Captain Blum, of Company M, had about fifty men before the field court to-day, charged with neglecting their arms during the march. They were all given a term of police duty under guard. G. W. B.

Expect to Move Soon. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. THOROUGHFARE, Va., Aug. 18.-The troops have been paid and filled with quartermasters’ supplies, and orders to leave for Middletown are expected each hour. Today over one hundred patients were removed from the division hospital and taken by rail to Washington, where they will be placed in the several hospitals. Over fifty more were sent home on furloughs. General Davis is very anxious to have the command moved from here before another rainstorm. The One-hundred-and-fifty-ninth Indiana will be the first regiment to leave camp when the order comes, and will be ready to take the train within fifteen minutes’ notice. Hospital Steward Terry Townsend is very ill, and Lieutenant Curtis has again returned to his old home at Greencastle on sick leave. Colonel Barnett is in command again. There are over one hundred cases of serious sickness in the One-hundred-and-fifty-ninth. G. W. B. TO BE CALLED CAMP MEADE. Middletown Rendezvous Named In Honor of a Civil War Hero. HARRISBURG, Pa., Aug. 18.—Major General Graham received word from the War Department to-day approving his recommendation that the new camp near Middletown be named in honor of General George Gordon Meade. The third battalion of the Eighteenth Pennsylvania Volunteers, which failed to get to Porto Rico with Colonel Willis J. Hullings, arrived in camp to-day under command of Lieutenant Colonel Pickards. of Oil City. Detachments of the Third Missouri. First Rhone Island and Second Tennessee also arrived and went into camp. The Thirteenth. Eighth and Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania regiments will be with the command. The battalion of the Ninth Ohio regiment of colored troops has been located in a fine position. .Among the arrivals at’the camp to-day was First Sergeant Girard, of Roosevelt’s Rough Riders, who has just returned from Cuba. 11l Soldiers Returning Home. EVANSVILLE, Ind., Aug. 18.—Fifty-six sick so’dlers from the Second lowa volunteers passed through the city to-day on their way home from Chickamauga. They were in charge of the regimental surgeon gnd several commissioneu officers who have resigned. The officers went to the hotel for dinner and the soluiers, many of them too sick to leave the train, were fed by Red Cross representatives. The men were in sleepers and were being sent home on thirty days furlough. Tenth Ohio Stnrts for Middletown. COLUMBUS, 0., Aug. 18.—The Tenth Ohio Regiment, Col. H. A. Axline commanding, left Columbus at 6 o'clock this evening for Middletown, Pa., via the Baltimore & Ohio Railway. There were four troop trains, carrying forty-six officers and 1,230 men.

CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Aug. IS.— Frank Britton, of Crawfordsville, a member of Company M. One-hundred-and-fifty-eighth Indiana Volunteers, died at Chickamauga Park Wednesday from typhoid fever. STONES BOUND TO HIS FEET. Body of a Farmer Found In the Detroit River. DETROIT, Aug. 18.—On Aug. 10 Valmore Nichols, a farmer, living near Ypsilanti, mysteriously disappeared. He was known to have had quite a sum of money on his person at the time. To-day his body was found in the Detroit river between Belle Isle and the American shore. There were two heavy stones bound to his feet with copper wire, which weighted the body down so that only the top or his head was visible. This had been sighted several times by parties rowing, but *ooked so much like a buoy that it was not investigated. About 6 o'clock this evening, however, a party rowed near enough to discover what it was and immediately reported their gruesome find to the police, who removed ii to a morgue, as no trace of. the money was found on his person the police incline to the murder theory. While he had been in hard shape financially for some time, his friends say he had never seemed despondent over it, and all seout the idea of his having committed suicide. Obituary. WASHINGTON. Aug. IS.—L. B. Fisher, of Tyler, Tex., who has been living at the Wellington Hotel here for four weeks, died to-night of Blight’s disease.

UPRISINGS IN SPAIN , SMALL ARMED BANDS OF CARLISTS CAUSING TROUBLE. \ Manifesto from the Pretender Expected Before Long, and a General Outbreak May Follow. TWO SPANISH COMMISSIONS BLANCO. CASTELLANOS AND MANTEROLA FOR CUBA. Macias, Ortega and Yallarino for Porto Rico—European Comment on the Philippines Situation. LONDON, Aug. 19.—The Daily Mail's Biarritz correspondent says: “A manifesto by Don Carlos is announced to appear shortly. The Spanish ministers assert that the pretender will not be able to find enough money to run a revolution and will be forced to postpone the rising until next spring. There are signs, however, that Don Carlos will not wait so long. Meanwhile the Spanish government will increase its precautions to prevent any outbreak of Carlism. Though the censorship will prevent the publication of the fact it cannot keep it secret that small armed bands are appearing and disappearing daily in various parts of Spain, showing a general state of fermentation born of impatience with the present condition of things. The work of fanatical Republicans and Carlists is helped by the general misery and by the prevailing irritation against the government. "Within the last few days a carbineer post near Sueza, in the province of yalencia, has been attacked by a band of armed men and the corporal of carbineers and one civilian seriously wounded. It is stated that the carbineers had opposed the landing of arms during the night from a barge near Tarragona. The civil guard arrested four men, who were carrying twelve old guns. The Castillion band still continues its progress and has been largely increased in numbers during the last few days. From the beginning it was much larger than the authorities cared to avow and it has now become important. "In a field near Alganices, in the pre vince of Zamora, the bodies of a corporal and two privates of carbineers who had been murdered, probably by men smuggling arms from Portugal were found yesterday, and close by another carbineer, who was almost dead. Their weapons had disappeared. These incidents, however, are only sporadic and nothing like a general uprising is threatened yet awhiie.

The Madrid correspondent of the Daily News says that Generals Blanco, Castellanos and Leon and Admiral Manterola have teen appointed commissioners for Cuba and Generals Macias and Ortega and Admiral Vallarino for Porto Rico. It is probable, the correspondent says, that Senor Leon y Castillo, the Spanish ambassador to France, will preside at the sessions of the Paris commission. Senor Moret's candidature is made impossible by the hostile attitude of the press. * * * The Madrid correspondent of the Standard says: "Sp<Bn and her continental patrons still hope that the United States may be induced not to take advantage of the conquest of Manila, but will be satisfied with coaling stations, trading privileges, etc. Should the retention of Manila be insisted on the United States may meet more trouble even than Japan did in securing the results of her victory over China and at the hands of the same powers.” * * * The Madrid correspondent of the Times says: "Letters from the Philippines bear remarkable testimony as coming from hostile Spanish sources to the administrative capacity and admirable organization of the Tagalo insurrection under Aguinaldo.” Th3 dispatch also says: "The article in El Tiempo referring to Article 3 of the protocol continues to be discussed in the light of the necessity for radical political reforms. El Imparcial prints a remarkable article in which it attributes the country’s disasters to administrative inefficiency, caused by the existing political system, which subordinates national interests to those of politicians and their friends.” WILL RETAIN THE ISLANDS. Austrians Think America Will Keep the Philippines. LONDON, Aug. 19.—The Vienna correspondent of the Times says: "The development of the Philippine question will be watched here with keen interest. Circumstances appear to point to the retention of the islands by America. The fact that Senator Davis, who is a public advocate of complete annexation, and Secretary of State Day, a supporter of the Hawaiian policy, are appointed commissioners is regarded'as indicating that President McKinley favors their retention. It is acknowledged that President McKinley has hitherto manifested exceptional diplomatic tact in his treatment both of the Spanish government and of public opinion in the United States. He conducted the negotiations with such foresight and consideration that the Madrid Cabinet has been able gradually to accustom the population, to the inevitable sacrifices imposed by the outcome of the war. For this reason the mere fact that absolute cession of the Philippines was not expressly stated in the protocol by no means should be regarded as excluding that possibility of at least some approximating to the growing demands of the American people. The prospect of a partition of China is likely to confirm this tendency of the American people. The United fctates are deeply interested trom a commercial and industrial standpoint in the future of east Asia. Tney have tfie most favorable geographical situation of all tfie great manufacturing countries competing ifiere, and it is argued that suen an enterprising, energetic people wid not willingly torego the present opportunity ot securing a tooting in those seas wricn will enable them to estabnsh large mercantile emporiums similar to tnose already possessed uy the rengash on the mainland, and which other states are about to found. Tilts consideration is expected to have weight with tne final decision of the t nuippine question. “Tne-re is a suspicion here that the meeting ot me Peace commission in Paris was intentionally aeiaycu to enable the preparation and tormauon of public opinion in Spain to accept America s new colonizillg tom in its lull extent. 'An evening paper expresses the belief that it is impossible that the Philippines shall ever again form a part of the Spanish possessions, and the question of how the derelict archipelago shau be ultimately atdivided is regarded as a serious diplomatic pioblem. Other papers make ingenious suggestions which it is profitless to discuss, seeing that it is improbable there wiil be any division. "The papers generally expect the Russians' attitude will prove an important factor in the situation. The Gertnah press has raised the bogie of intervention talk. Os the United States sounding the European powere on the question of annexation nothing is known here of any such feeling, and it may be taken as granted that the United States has done and will do nothing of the kind. America has already given indications that she would unhesitatingly resent interference without waiting to count the cost. It is recognized that the American is a very different sort of man from the Turk, for example, and might, if an attempt were made to intimidate, suddenly transfer the conflict from the diplomatic sphere to one in which it would be extremely difficult to maintain either a concert of the powers or an East Asian dreibund. "Moreover any such interference w’ouid only hasten an Anglo-American alliance,

which the powers are anxious to prevent, besides giving the United States Japanese sympathy. _-erefore, it is probable that the powers, distracted by mutual jealousies, will hesitate to come to an open breach with what the Fremdenblatt describes as a gigantic world power, whose consciousness of innate strength is immensely increased by its present victory." 4— AS VIEWED BY FRENCHMEN. United States W ill Make Mnnila. a Ri- > a 1 of Hong-KoDK. PARIS, Aug. 19.—The American position in the far East is attracting great attention. The Soliei says: "The Americans will quadruple the value of the Philippines, and Manila will become the rival of HongKong. The United States will have a preponderating situation in Chinese waters. There is no market they desire more eagerly than the Chinese, and though they have been forestalled by other powers, they will assuredly overtake their rivals by the rapidity of their progress in that region, and in the coming break-up of the Chinese empire the L'nited States will not be content with the worst fortunes for their heritage.” The Temps, while congratulating France upon the role of peacemaker, recognizes the fact that it is not always a good thing to put a finger between the hammer and the anvil. The Temps says: “The United States will not hear a word of intervention, and France has no interest in compromising herself gratuitously with a country evidently destined for a more active part in great international affairs. It would be artless to count over much on Spanish gratitude. Therefore, the French watchword should be ‘Messuirs point de zele.’ ’’ Warning from Madrid. PARIS, Aug. 18.—The Madrid correspondent of the Temps says: "Little importance is attached to the chauvinism prevailing in the United States with regard to the Philippines. It is believed that the mixed commission will have full liberty of action to consider all aspects of the question, which will assume a grave international character if the United States should pretend to exercise a dominating role in the control of the Spanish Pacific archipelago.” Meaning of the Word “Control.*’ LONDON, Aug. 18.—The Morning Post, commenting editorially upon the interpretation which Senor Silvela. leader of the Spanish dissident Conservatives, places upon the word “control,” in Article 3 of the protocol. as "signifying intervention similar to Great Britain's occupation of Egypt," says: "This suggestion of El Tiempa amounts to an alliance between the Spanish Conservative party and the Washington Cab. : with the views to future administration of the Philippines." ' Augustin Removed on Aug. !S, MADRID, Aug. 18.—At the Cabinet council to-day, the Queen Regent presiding. Senor Sagasta, the premier, explained the progress of the peace negotiations. After the council Lieutenant General Correa, minister of war, told the correspondent of the Associated Press that Captain General Augustin was removed from the command of Manila on Aug. 5. Russia Seeking a Coaling Station. LONDON, Aug. 19.—The Daily Mail’s Odessa correspondent says he hears on incontcstible authority that Russia has asked Spain for the cession of a coaling station in the Philippines. TROUBLE IN PORTO RICO NATIVES RETALIATING ON SPANIARDS FOR OUTRAGES. ♦ American Troops Ordered to Suppress the Demonstrations—The Reported Massacre nt dales Confirmed. PONCE, Porto Rico. Aug. 18.—The natives show a disposition to persecute the Spanish residents and several minor riots have occurred here. At Yauco last night the natives threw stones and bricks into Spanish shops in retaliation for outrages committed within the Spanish lines. The military has been ordered to suppress these demonstrations and punish the offenders. General Miles and staff went to General Wilson's headquarters at the front to-day. They were escorted by a troop of cavalry. The personnel of the commissions for Cuba and Porto Rico is highly commended. Gen. Grant will Join General Brooke to-morrow.

MASSACRE AT CIALES. Rumored Butchery of Porto Ricans Confirmed—A Battery’s Loss. (Copyright, IS9B, by the Associated Press.) PONCE, Porto Rico, Aug. 17 in transmission.)—Reports are coming in from all directions of outrages committed within the Spanish lines. Doubtless many of these are exaggerated, but the rumors of a massacre at dales are confirmed. Some of the natives there took refuge in the belfry of the cathedral and fired on the Spanish troops, but they were overpowered and macheted to the number of eighty. Battery N, of the Seventh Regiment, under Captain McComb, was unable to proceed along the mountain trail with General Henry, and, having lost a gun and six horses over a precipice, returned here. The health cf the troops is steadily improving. The yphoid fever brought from Camp Alger ard Camp Chickamauga is of a mild type, and is fast disappearing. Strict sanitation is being enforced, with the gratifying result that sickness has decreased from 10 to 3 per Cent. To-day's reports show only 430 sick in hospital quarters out of a total command of fifteen thousand. Most of these cases are climatic patients. The army is being revaccinated, as there is a smallpox epidemic in some portions of the island. The auxiliary cruiser Prairie, formerly El Sol. left to-day for Santiago to take troops to Montauk Point. Lient. Hines Wounded. Special to the Indtßnapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., Aug. 18.—His fn'ends in this city were notified last night that Lieut. Charles Hines, who was with Capt.

It is reported that be was shot in the side and the bullet came out next his spine. Hines is West Point graduate. THE NAVAL PARADE. New York Preparing to Honor the Destroyers of C'ervera’s Fleet. NEW YORK. Aug. 18.— Mayor Van Wyck to-day issued a proclamation urging that all business be suspended on Saturday, the day of the naval parade. He also urged that all public buildings and private residences in the five boroughs of Greater New York and every vessel in the harbor be decked with flags and bunting. The mayor asks every citizen of Greater New York to make this celebration worthy of the city and the occasion. Declined by 31. Canihon. WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.-Acting Secretary Allen had a busy day in making final arrangements for the naval review at New York on Saturday. He extended to the French ambassador. M. Cam bon, the courtesy of going on the flagship New fork during the review". The ambassador had already arranged, however, to witness the review from the tug of the French transatlantic line.

BARRED BY GEN. BLANCO * AMERICAN CORRESPONDENTS NOT PERMITTED IX HAVANA. Their Arrival Deemed Inopportune and Liable to Cause TroubleProvisions for the City. HAVANA, Aug. 18.—Yesterday there arrived from Key West correspondents of the New York Evening Post, the Journal and Advertiser, the Chicago Record and another newspaper correspondent, none of whom was permitted by General Blanco to land, the governor general considering their arrival here inopportune and inconvenient, and believing that their presence here before the arrival of the American peace commission might cause difficulty. The correspondents returned last night to Key West on board the schooner Adams. The San Quentin battalion has arrived at Pinar del Rio with one thousand head of cattle. One hundred Americans, who landed at Maria Gorda on the 11th inst., after a conference with the leaders Gayo and Razo, re-embarked. They afterwards sent a supply of hard tack sufficient for eight days to the leader Varona. A majority of the rebels in that province are nearly naked and entirely without shoes. They requested the Americans to provide them with clothes, etc. Rebel bands under leaders Payaso and Peno Guerra encamped on the 16th near the city of Pinar del Rio. Several passengers saw them, but were not attacked. The station chief of Cabezas, in the Matanzas province, reports that on the 16th inst. that place was attacked and a brisk musketry tire was kept up for an hour, but no damage was done. Reports from Jovellanos, Matanzas province, say that on the luth inst. twelve armed insurgents appeared at the plantation Soledad, from which they drove away thirty-four oxen, after rrtacheting a number of guerilleros. They wt-re pursued by a Spanish guerilla force but were not overtaken. The governor of Matanzas has dismissed the civil government secretary, who has made complaint to the colonial secretary of justice. Reports from Matanzas state that torpedoes and other defenses of the harbor were removed on the night of the 15th inst. and that the Punta Maya lighthouse was relighted. The captain of this port has authorized pilots to take into port all vessels, and fishermen are allowed to leave the harbor at any hour. A quantity of merchandise which arrived yesterday has not been sold, owing to a difference regEarding prices between sellers and buyers. At 8 o'clock this morning there arrived from Key West the schooner Irene with a cargo of provisions. East night the city was again illuminated with the electric lights w'hien had been suspenued during the blockade. The Plaza de Armas and the parks, after a period of long obscurity, presented a splendid sight. They were filled with persons of both sexes. The theaters were full. The arrival of American steamers with provisions and mails is awaited with impatience. Many soldiers who have not heard from their relatives for at least a month are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Spanish mail steamers. This morning the American bark Maryland arrived with provisions. A large and noisy crowd of curious people awaited the entiance of the vessel into the harbor. An Engliitbnian'ii View. LONDON, Aug. 18.—The Times continues to print letters from Havana strongly antiAmerican. It is asserted that thousands of innocent women and children are being starved to death because the Americans are incapable of carrying into effect their boast that they would capture Havana in a fortnight. Though the reconcentrados are starving, it is alleged the insurgents are well supplied with food by the Americans, who, with the Cubans, are apparently content to pursue a safe and inglorious w r ar with famine and dynamite bombs as weapons. Havana correspondents of the Times predict that no matter whether the independence of Cuba or the anexation of Cuba is arranged for, there is no chance for peace in Cuba during years to come, because the Cubans, disappointed in their efforts to obtain spoil, will probably continue their rebellion and brigandage.

ALL THE ISLES. (Concluded from First Page.) waited upon the Governor and begged him to surrender, saying that otherwise they would be utterly ruined. “The civil members of the council of war favcr a surrender, but the military members do not care to indorse such a request. Officers tell me they realize the futility of resisting the Americans, who, with their superior guns, can keep at long range and kill everybody without loss to themselves with probably a dozen shells. The British consul promptly arranged for four launches under a white flag'- to remove British subjects. and also for one launch for the Chinese. Swarms of Spanish and native halfcaste women and children are begging to be provided with means of escape.

AMUSEMENTS. In "How Hopper was Sidetracked,” which opened at the Park yesterday for the rest of the week. Jule Walters plays much the same sort of part as in his old play, but the new comedy is more pretentious. The first act opens witn a scene in the Klondike and ends with a sensational murder and an explosion. Then the scene shifts to New England, where Hopper is kept busy for three acts spoiling the efforts of the villian. His company Is capable, the situations in the play are strong and all tend to Keep the audience worked up. Conners and Stanley introduce a musical and dancing turn which is made to fit the action of the piece. It is preceded by a little pantomime and trick work that amuses the audience. In the second act Walters and Louise Llewellyn do a singing specialty preceded by some rapid-fire conversation which took well with yesterday’s audiences. A dancing specialty by Pauline in the third act was well received. The play will continue to-day and to-morrow and be followed Monday by Fulgora’s Star Specialty Company, one of the best vaudeville organizations on the road. Robert Downing’s plunge Into vaudeville at the close of his last season caused almost as much comment among actors as If Julia Marlowe had signed to give the potion scene from “Romeo and Juliet” at Koster & Bial’s. Downing, the tragedian, with a repertory of classic plays and a starring reputation from one end to the other of the country, being sandwiched between a dancing soubrette and a black-face team on the variety stage caused the “legits” to smver for the dignity of their profession. It turned out that many of the naughty stars who frowned on Downing s venture o.ny needed someone to blaze the way. Witnin a few weeks after Downing had made the plunge, both Frederick Ward© and Robert Mantell were doing their “turns ’ on the vaudeville stage, and glad of the opportunity. Downing has always been aggressive, both as an actor and as a business man. He was the first star to employ a woman press agent to go in advance of his company. The advance sale for Downing’s engagement at English’s next week, under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias, opened yesterday, and there was a lively demand for seats. The Knights of Pythias entertainment committee, which is interested In Downing’s engagement, desires it known that the advance sale is principally for the accommodation of city people, who are expected to secure their seats before the great rush of knights. The experience at previous encampments has been that the theater is quickly sold out after the thousands of knights arrive. Manager Robert F*ulgora has a number of the best vaudeville artists in the country in his Star Specialty Company, coming to the Park next week. Prominent among them are Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Sidman, In a comedy sketch entitled, "A Bit of Real Life.” The Empire box office will remain open all week and tickets can be secured for Irwin Brothers’ Burlesquers, which opens the season at that house.
