William Tiffany, of the Rough Riders, who died in Boston last week, was held here to-day.

THESE SOLDIERS IM LI CK. Cleveland Women, with Good Thing* to Ent, Take Possession of a Train. CLEVELAND, 0., Aug. 29.-The train bearing 260 sick soldiers of the Eighth New York Regiment of Volunteer Infantry reached Cleveland at 6 o’clock this evening, in charge of Captain Lindhein, assistant surgeon. There was a crowd of at least 2,000 people in waiting, including the ladles of the Cleveland War Relief Board, with delicacies, and members of the staffs of nurses trod physician* of the Huron-street and Lakeside Hospitals. The intention here was to take any of the soldiers who were in a dangerous condition to these hospitals. The ladies at once served milk, chicken broth, eggnog and food to the sick men, the nurses washed some of the bed-ridden boys and made them more comfortable, and the doctors passed through the train examining the men. The physicians immediately found several typhoid fever cases, in which the temperature had passed the danger point, and they asked for permission to take the patients to the hospitals. The temperature of one man was 105 degrees. Captain LindJiein refused. The ladies added their pleadings, as did Captain Tillson, of the army recruiting office in this city, who has been a regular army officer for twenty-four years, and he was backed up by Superintendent Webber, of the Huron-street Hospital. Captain Lindhein positively refused to let any of the soldiers go, however, despite the stern warning that some of the men would probably die on the train within a few hours. The feeling of the men on the train against Captain Lindhein is very bitter. A few of the sick soldiers wandered through the cars, delirious from the effects of fever and the big dose of quinine they had been given. The train departed at 7 o’clock for New York city. Stops will be made at Erie and Buffalo, and word has been sent to the ladles’ relief committees of those places to be in readiness for the sick soldiers. + TRAIN!LOAD OF DYING MEN. Terrible Condition of the Eighth New York Returning Home. DELAWARE, 0., Aug. 29.—The hospital train of the Eighth New York Regiment reached here this afternoon. Captain Dr. George W. Lindhein was in charge and he was the*only commissioned officer or physician on the train. There were 260 sick men, forty of whom were unable to get out of their berths. They are likely to die before reaching New York city. There were pitiful sights In the last three cars, where the sick and wounded men were. There were twelve cars In all. The train started from Chiekamauga Sunday at noon. * Grocery and restaurant men, assisted by many citizens, had sandwiches, coffee, milk, lemonade and fruits ready when the train arrived and kindly women’s hands carried the food to the sick men

Dull Time at Caiii]i Thomas. CHICKAMAUGA PARK, Ga., Aug. 29.The First Pennsylvania, the last regiment of the First Army Corps at this camp, left Camp Thomas to-day for Knoxville. The two theops of Kentucky cavalry attached to the cavalry brigade left this morning for Lexington, where they are to be mustered out. The First Missouri and the Second Nebraska, under orders to proceed to their state mustering places, there to be mustered out, were to leave to-morrow, but on account of a failure of the transportation arrangements they will not get away before Wednesday. The Third United States Volunteer Cavalry, Captain Grigsby, received orders for each troop to proceed to the point of mustering into the service and there to be mustered out. The regiment will probably not get away before Thursday. Lieutenant Stewart, of the Fourth Cavalry, mustering officer, reached the park to-day for the purpose of hurrying up the muster rolls of the light artillery batteries—four Ohio and two Georgia—ordered to be mustered out at once. It was intended to have these batteries leave the park by Wednesday, but there has been some delay* on the part of the officers in making out their reports, and it will probably be Friday before they get away. Gov. McLaurin, of Mississippi, visited the park to-day. The Governor, it is stated, was here to sound the Mississippi troops as to their wishes about remaining in the service. It is stated he found a large majority wanted to be mustered out, and he will so recommend. He is on his way to Washington. To .Hunter Out the Mnrinca, WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.—Acting Secretary Allen has decided to adopt the policy of mustering out the naval militia in bodies, Instead of individually, as heretofore. This will be done in the case of the New York men on the Yankee, now at New* York, and In all other cases hereafter. Mr. Allen believes that the militiamen will be better pleased to go to their homes in bodies, where they may be met by their people and greeted publicly. The Navy Department is highly gratified at the splendid service rendered by these men. Just before the battle of July 3 sixty Chicago militiamen were placed on the battle ship Oregon, and the reports that come to the department all speak in the highest terms of their ability. So well had they been drilled in instances that new men were turned over to the militiamen to be instructed in their duties. The militiamen were also on the best terms with the enlisted men aboard the ship, and the latter manifested their appreciation of the goed qualities of the Chicago boys by cheering heartily for them as they were gathered to be mustered. The department is not able to proceed as fast as it would like in the matter of mustering out the militiamen, owing to the necessity of retaining a sufficient body of sailors to man the ships. AH Molrilerm to Get Furloughs. WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.—The Twelfth District of Columbia Volunteer Infantry returning to Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point, from service in Santiago, will be ordered home to this city as soon as they are able to travel, said General Corbin to-day. The members of the regiment will be given a furlough for two months, at the expiration of which time they will be honorably discharged from the military service of the United States. This is in accordance with the policy of the department to give a furlough for two months to all troops who served in Cuba, Porto Rico or the Philippines. The volunteer troops who rendered service In the United States will be furloughed for one month prior to being mustered out. No Complaint on the Solaee. BOSTON, Aug. 29.—The United States hospital ship Solace, having on ltoard seventyfour sick soldiers and marines, has arrived from Santiago do Cuba. Most of the sick men were from the meu-of-war. Roland Collier and Elmer Basset, of Company I, Thirty-fourth Michigan, were on the Solace. Arrangements were made at once to have the sick taken to the naval hospital at Chelsea. The majority of the men were convalescents. They stood the voyage well and all agreed that they hud experienced absolutely nothing to complain of In the way of food and treatment. The Solace brought to this city Chief Engineers Andrade and Edwards, together with eleven naval cadets who have been stutioned on the war ships during ih* war. The latter

will return to Annapolis when the Naval Academy reopens. Atlanta Offer* Hospitality. ■WASHINGTON. D. C., Aug. 29.-Hon. Hoke Smith, ex-Recretary of Interior; Representatives Livingston and Bartlett, of Georgia, were at the War Department today and offered the Atlanta Exposition building and grounds for quarters for the troops. They told the Secretary of War that the buildings were in good repair, that there was plenty of water and a lake of twenty acres, and that the buildings would accommodate from ten to fifteen thousand soldiers. The buildings and grounds were tendered free to the government if they could be made available. General Corbin at once directed that an investigation of the place be made to see if it could be made available for the government. Representative Bartlett said that the land at Macon and Brunswick, Ga., would be placed at the disposal of the government for a camp, if it was desired. Camp Merritt in Bad Shape. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Aug. 29.-In spite of the great precautions taken by the local military authorities, the health conditions at the local camp are worse than ever. To-day the total number of sick is 908, the largest yet known. There are sixteen or eighteen typhoid suspects in the hospital. The Tennessee regiment has sixtyfive sick and the First lowa fifty-six. There were fifty-eight patients in the Presidio hospital this morning, several of these being typhoid fever in its first stages. A cablegram was received to-day from Gen. F. V. Greene, who sailed to Manila in command of the second expedition, intimating that he intends to return to the United States immediately. As the China is reported as leaving Manila to-morrow, General Greene may come on her. More Troop* to Be Mnntered Out.

(Concluded from First Page.) ner and is prepared to co-operate - in the sacred work.” Gen. Booth Indorse* the C*nr. LONDON, Aug. 29.—Gen. William Booth, of the Salvation Army, sent the following telegram to Emperor Nicholas this afternoon: “May it please your Majesty—l have received with profound thankfulness to God the news of your Imperial Majesty’s wise, beneficent and Christianlike proposal in favor of universal peace. I cannot refrain from assuring you of she admiration of the multitudes of Salvationists in all parts of the world, whose prayers will ascend to Almighty God for your Majesty and for the triumphs of those principles of peace and righteousness after which they are ever striving and which are moving you to seek the true welfare of all nations. This great act of God’s will must forever add to the honor of your Majesty’s name and reign and country.” Dr. Emil Reich, the eminent Hungarian historian and British counsel in the Venezuelan arbitration, in an interview on the subject of the Czar's peace note, expresses the belief that his Majesty is visionary. He says: “The Czar is a dreamer. He is not in robust health and has always to take cure of his body. This scheme for universal peace is one of his dreams. It is also a feint. Count Muravieff (the Russian minister for foreign affairs) hopes thereby to get a free hand in the development of Russian schemes in Manchuria. “Suppose France disarmed. Her population now is forty millions, against Germany's fifty-two million. In ten years Germany would have largely added to her lead in population and France could not display an army nearly a9 large as her rival’s. Sweden and Norway and Italy would like to disarm and might do so with impunity but for the rest of Europe it is impossible. Europe must fight lest the present political conditions undergo an early change.” Help* the Market*. LONDON, Aug. 30.—The Times in Its financial article this morning says: “The Czar’s circular has had a good effect on the markets as indicating that there Is no Immediate probability of war. 'Many people remark the fact that the proposal appears when Russia's power to borrow freely is almost ended and when she has placed herself in positions in China and elsewhere which can be defended only at great cost.”

FILIPINOS ARE SULLEN AMERICANS SAID TO BE ADOPTING HARSH MEASURES. The Cavite Incident Precipitate* a Rapture, bat Merritt Restore* Arm* to InNurgents. LONDON, Aug. 29.— A dispatch from Manila to a news agency, dated Aug. 18, via Hong-Kong, to-day says: “The friction between the Americans and natives requires exceptional ability to avoid total alienation. I find that several high American officials, of mediocre education, are utterly unacquainted with Oriental ideas and unable to understand the primitive races. Most of the Americans are deficient in patience, and numerous trifling misunderstandings intensify the friction. I believe the Americans intend to be harsh. The American censor absolutely prohibits the sending of a single word about the Cavite incident of yesterday, and he threatens to expel any correspondent who mentions it. A deputation from the press is going to General Merritt to protest against his action. The affair began in a drunken American shooting and native sentries tried to arrest him. In consequence of the melee four natives and one American were killed and it is now generally misreported as being a deliberate inauguration of hostilities. General Merritt returned their arms to the company of natives who fired on the Americans, presumably inadvertently. The natives assert that Aguinaldo forced General Merritt to liberate them and return their weapons. The Americans condemn General Merritt’s course.” The same correspondent cables that the Americans are only “partly patrolling the town.” The Manila correspondent of the Times says: “The leading commercial men here have signed a memorial to Lord Salisbury urging him to use his office to prevent the Spaniards from regaining supremacy in the Philippines. The conduct of the American troops is admirable. The town, since their occupation, has been wonderfully free from disturbance. General Greene has been ordered to return to Washington. He will sail with General Merritt.” The Hong-Kong correspondent of the Daily Mall says: “The relations between the Americans and the Filipinos are much strained in consequence of the collision at Cavite last Wednesday. The insurgent general at Cavite has been ordered to evacuate the place and remove his troops two miles into the country in order to prevent further disturbances. “General Aguinaldo says his chief purpose in maintaining his army near the city was to be prepared to cope with Spain in case America left Manila to Spanish control.” The residential suburbs are full of armed insurgents ahd several personal vendettas have been reported. The Inhabitants are greatly alarmed. There was firing in the streets of San Miguel last evening. The insurgent troops yesterday attended mass fully armed and patrolled the principal residential suburbs. Spanish Commissioner*. MADRID, Aug. 29.—The Cabinet sat today and decided as to the composition of the peace commission. Duke Almodovar de Rio, minister of foreign affairs; Senor Groizard, minister of justice, and Senor £xiron, minister of the colonies, were appointed a committee to draft a bill authorizing peace negotiations. The peace commissioners will be Senor Leon y Castillo, Spanish ambassador at Paris; Senor Urrutia, Spanish minister at Brussels; the Duke of Najera, governor of Cadiz; Senor Marcoastu and Senor Abarzuza. Fonr Mountain Climber* Rilled. BERNE, Switzerland, Aug. 29.—Dr. John Hopkinson, an English electrical engineer, and his son and two daughters, have been killed while ascending the Dents de Veisivi, in the Canton of Valais, the mountains of w hich are among the highest in Europe, and which were exposed to furious torrents and destructive avalanches. The party had gone cn their perilous trip without the assistance of a guide. Dr. Hopkinson had intended starting for New r York on Sept. 28, the trip to be made in connection with a syndicate which he was forming for the purpose of developing his inventions. Potato Riot* In tlie Burba does.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, Aug. 29.—Advices received here to-day from the Island of Barbadoes, belonging to Great Britain, retort widespread potato riots. Riotous gangs of men have been looting the produce of the plantations during the night. Following the recent shooting of the speaker of the House of Assembly, in mistake for an obnoxious landlord, these demonstrations are considered to be of a serious nature and more troubles are anticipated. Nicholas Gave a Banqnet, MOSCOW, Aug. 29.—Following the unveiling of the monument to Czar Alexander II yesterday Emperor Nicholas gave a grand gala banquet at the palace of the Kremlin In the evening. To-day the Czar reviewed the troops in the presence of the imperial family and a large company of distinguished guests. Later in the afternoon the imperial party witnessed the laying of the foundation stone of the Alexander 111 fine arts museum. 2(300 Died of Plague. SILMA, Aug. 29.—1 tis officially announced that there were 2,300 deaths from the plague last week in the Bombay presidency. The epidemic is spreading. NOT “PUMPKINS.” (Concluded from First Page.) mustered out of the service. The transportation to Huntsville had been provided. The regiment will be in transit two days and three nights, and therefore it was necessary to let a contract for tourist sleepers. The men are eagerly looking to the time when they will cross the Ohio. The route to be taken is over the Southern and Queen & Crescent roads, through Columbia, Asheville, Knoxville and Cincinnati. It is hoped by the men that a good camping site will be secured at Indianapolis, and as several state encampments have been held at Fairview Park they would like that location. The sick patients would not be bothered there. The prevalent opinion among the surgeons is that the disease which has caused the death of so many men among the troops at Fernandina is a typhoid malaria] fever. The authorities should have moved Colonel Studebaker's regiment from the unhealthy camp near Port Tampa City during the early part of June, when it was ordered that General Shatter take along more heavy field pieces and light artillery, causing the One-hundred-and-fifty-seventh Indiana, Third Pennsylvania .and First Ohio to be transferred to the Lourth Army Corps, and on account of the inefficiency of transports remained in the swampy camp near Port Tampa City for two months, waiting for orders. The water stood six inches below the surface of the ground at the Port Tampa City camp, and on waking in the morning the men found their blankets very damp. This morning about 9 o’clock occurred the death of Private William J. Beeber, of Company G. Fort Wayne, at the regimental hospital. This is the fifth death that has occurred in the two Fort Wayne companies. The deceased had been feeling ill for several weeks in the company quarters. Several days ago he was taken to the division hospital, by order of the division surgeon. He failed rapidly. Private “Bill” Stradley, of the regimental band, and Privates Robbins and Monahan, cf Company B, started out on a alligator hunt yesterday. They found forty-one alligator eggs in the sand, which they brought to camp. A number of men were curious to see the egs and gathered round the party. One of the soldiers accidentally left an egg fall and to his surprise a small 'gator appeared. The same was taken care of and is now' capable of moving it* tall. Private Ottc .Hilberg. of Company F, South Bend, has the reputation of being the best company cook in the regiment. He i pieparee an excellent bill of lure, whicil

never fails to appease the appetites of the members of Company F. Private Hilberg was for many years a cook at a large hotel in Maxinkuekee. This nocn representatives of a tobacco company issued a supply of tobacco to every man in Colonel Studebaker’s regiment. each receiving three packages of smoking t. bacco or a pipe and one package of tobacco, or a large cut of Battle Ax plug. The tobacco was given to the men gratuitously and they appreciated the gift. Last evening at 7:30 a grand banquet and entertainment was held in celebration of the four months’ service of the One-hundred-and-fifty-geventh Indiana Regiment. First Lieut. Norman E. Beal, Second Lieut. Gust C. Groll and Headquarter’s Stenographer Benoit Eilert got it up, the celebration taking place in the open air in the company street of Company E. of Elkhart. Sergeant Charles Hook, Private Harry Connell, Private John Robison, Sergeant Edward A. Le Febre, and Sergeant Harry Goldman assisted in making the evening pleasant. Music was furnished by the regimental band. A cornet solo was rendered by Chief Musician Oscar Verweire. It was the most enjoyable evening for everybody since the regiment has been in the service, and one that never will be forgotten. Yesterday morning Sergeant Frank Brew rer and Private Bert Drewsel, of Company H, went on a fishing expedition to Amelia river, near a place called Columbia island. It was known as a rendezvous of sharks and large fish. After patiently waiting for several hours they were rewarded by catching a man-eating shark, weighing forty-two pounds, and five feet in length. The mouth of the monster is about seven inches long. The remains of Private James Boomershine, a member of Company C, Goshen, Ind., whose death occurred Thursday evening at division hospital, was buried yesterday in the cemetery near Old Fernandina. A guard of honor of Company C accompanied the remains to their last resting place. The pallbearers were Privates Chauneet Beckner, James Giston, Fred Everett, George Cook, Allen Berkey and Charles Kline. He had been sick in his company quarters for about three weeks, and Wednesday afternoon was taken to the division hospital, at which place he died the following day. He was among the twentyone patients taken to the hospital by order of the division surgeon. He was very well liked by all who knew him and great sorrow prevails on account of his death. Dr. Reginald W. Garstang. who has been detached from the One-hundred-and-flfty-seventh Regiment and transferred to the division hospital, has been relieved and rejoined Colonel Studebaker’s regiment. Dr. Garstang will accompany the regiment to Indianapolis and be mustered out. B. J. E. GOING TO CUBA. That I* the Expectation ot the Men of the One- Hand red-and-Sixty-First. Correspondence of the Journal. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Aug. 29.-To be mustered out or not to be mustered out, is the question that most interests the soldier boys in this camp. The War Department has decided to muster out 100,000 men and efforts have been made to obtain the wishes of the troops and be guided largely by their expressions. Complaints are made by the enlisted men that they have not been permitted to give full expression to their wishes, as their commanding officers have suppressed them. In a number of instances papers have been started around regimental camps for signatures, but when the officers learned that the papers w’ere to inform the President of a desire to be mustered out, a stop has been put to the circulation of such papers and the signers threatened with punishment. Thus the men complain that they are to be kept in the service at the will of their officers despite their personal choice in rhe matter. The One-hundred-and-sixty-first Indiana is known in camp as the “crack” regiment, and well deserves its name. They have the cleanest and best located camp, the least sickness, the largest and best equipped assembly tent, and officers that exert themselves to furnish every convenience that will add to the comfort and health of the men and yet live within the army regulations. Notwithstanding all reports to the contrary, the One-hundred-and-sixty-nrst will do garrison duty in Cuba, and will leave here about Oct. 1. The officers and men of this regiment are anxious to do the bidding of Uncle Pam and feel satisfied that this piece of work has been given them. Colonel Durbin left camp Aug. 26. presumably for Washington-, but may have gone to New York to meet his wife, who is returning from Europe. Lieutenant Colonel Backus was in command of the One-hundred-and-sixty-first at division review Aug. 28. Captain Olds, of Company A, commanded the first battalion. Major Harold Megrew, who acted as field officer of the day Aug. 27, is the first officer of the brigade to be given the sash of honor, which was worn in recognition of his efficiency as an army officer. Captain Stott, of Company B, who has been to Pablo Beach for the past few days, lias returned in good health. Lieutenant James Wilson, assistant surgeon. has been detailed for duty at the general hospital. Captain Baird. Company E, has the host drilled company in the One-hundred-and-sixty-first. Lieutenant Darity, Company L, has been appointed assistant provost marshal under Major Harrison. Lieutenant Harry B. Patent, of Company H, has been appointed on General Hubbard’s staff. _

Lieutenant Percy Welch, of Company B. has gone to Tampa on a four days’ leave of juisence to visit his brother. Lieutenant Johnson, of Company A, has been detailed on special duty for past ten days. Adjutant Tichenor is master of every detail of his numerous duties. Rev. Schivera, of Chicago, preached to the boys of the One-hundred-and-sixty-first on Thursday. Friday and Saturday evenings of the past week. L. E. W. * CINDER’S MEN IN CAMP. Sergeant Bfoss Elected Lieutenant for Company G. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LEffIINGTON, Ky., in Camp with the One-hundred-and-sixtieth Indiana, Aug. 29. The order naming this camp for Col. Hamilton, a Santiago hero, was read on dress parade Sunday night.

M'KINLEY IN CLEVELAND HIS TRIP THROICH PENNSYLVANIA WAS ONE LONG OVATION. Senator Hanna In Expected to Join the Party, Which In Now in Good Health. CLEVELAND, 0., Aug. 29.—The train bearing President McKinley and party arrived in Cleveland at 5:45 p. m. The presidential party left the train at the Euclidavenue station and were driven directly to the residence of Colonel Myron T. Herrick, on Cedar Heights. There was a small crowd at the station, the hour of the President’s arrival not being generally known. The President will probably remain in Cleveland a week and will visit Canton one day during his stay in this city. The President and Mrs. McKinley passed a restful night at Somerset, Pa. They rose early and wished their visit could be prolonged. The President's visit has been a comparatively quiet one, such as a restseeker might wish for. There were but two callers until this morning, when the eagerness to embrace an opportunity was given rein and a hundred people gathered in front of the McKinley home for a handshake. Many carried kodaks with which to snap the chief executive and some of the women armfuls of little babies whose hands they wished to lay in that of the President. The President evidently wished to avoid anything like a reception and he sat on the side porch smoking. Coming to the front porch he shook hands with those gathered there. When the crowd had gone the President noticed sitting on a bench at the outer edge of the pavement two aged farmers who had come in to see him. He beckoned to them and met them half way down the steps for a handshake. The presidential party, consisting of the President and Mrs. McKinley, Assistant Secretary Cortelyou and Major Webb, left here on a special train at 11 o’clock for Johnstown, from where they will continue their trip westward. Mr. Abner McKinley accompanied the party to Johnstown, and may remain with it to Canton. The President and Mrs. McKinley drove to the station with Abner McKinley and his daughter Mabel. A large crowd gathered at the station to wave a good-bye, but after the President entered his car he did not again appear. As President McKinley passed through Pittsburg on his way from Somerset, Pa., on his way to Cleveland, at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon, an immense crowd was at the station, and the President was enthusiastically greeted. The Pennsylvania hospital train was met at Greensburg and the train bearing the presidential party was stopped while the President made an inspection of the hospital train and shook hands with the sick soldiers. The White House was almost deserted today. The absence of the President kept away the prominent callers whose visits have marked the daily routine of the President’s life in the past two weeks, and even the ftumber of sight-seers got through the public portions of the mansion was less than usual. The going away of the President has put a quietus on the usual activity of Washington and coincident with Mr. McKinley's departure some of the members of the Cabinet. headed by Secretary Day. wh'o is now at his home in Ohio, have taken leave of absences for a short while. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, who left Saturday night for his home, in lowa, left word to be telegraphed of the home-coming of the President, and most of the other administration officials will return about the time he does.

Hay to Dine with the Qneen. LONDON. Aug. 29.—C01. John Hay, the retiring United States ambassador to the court of St. James, who has accepted the portfolio of secretary of state at Washington, in succession to William R. Day, went to Osborne, Isle of Wight, this afternoon, in order to dine and sleep there and bid farewell to Queen Victoria, who starts for' Scotland Wednesday. Colonel Hay’s letter of recall has not yet arrived here and will probably be presented by his successor. Mrs. Hay was also invited to Osborne, but was unable to go, owing to the fact that she was absent on the continent. The royal yacht will meet Mr. Hay at Portsmouth and will convey him to Cowes. Owing to the brief time left him before departing for America Colonel Hay has been compelled to decline an invitation from the lord mayor of London to a farewell banquet. Hanna Returnu Home.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Aug. 29.—Dr. Ferdindo Malay, a prominent physician and professor of vaccination in the City of Mexico, wandered away from his hotel in this city yesterday while suffering from sudden dementia which developed while coming from Mexico, and, being overcome by the heat, died in the country in a field on a farm east of this city. He was going with Civil Engineer Aguinano. his friend, to attend the congress of astronomers at Berlin, Germariy. MILES'S KICK. (Concluded from First Page.) tiago campaign with anybody. The results spoke for themselves and they were a sufficient justification for the policy which had been pursued by the War Department in the conduct of the operations against Santiago. “ ‘My cablegram to General Shafter,’ he continued, ‘was simply due to my desire to assure him that I intended to be absolutely fair. Before his departure from Washington, General Miles and I had talked the matter over and he started for Cuba, knowing that he was not in any waj,y to interfere with the operations which were under the control of General Shafter. That there could be no doubt whatever, I cabled to General Shafter, informing him that Gen. Miles had left for Cuba with instructions not to in any manner supersede him as commander of troops in the field at Santiago de Cuba, and, as I have said, if my message prevent?d a battle on the morning of the day the city surrendered, then I am repaid a thousand fold.’ ” McPartland Makes Hln Boast Good. NEW YORK. Aug. 29-Kid McPartland, ol this city, got a well-earned decision over

Jack Daly, of Wilmington, Del., after fighting twenty-five clean rounds before the Greater New York Athletic Club to-night. The last time these two met Daly got the decision on a foul in the seventeenth round at the Lenox Athletic Club and since that time McPartland has always claimed that he had Daly whipped on that occasion. He insisted that on their next meeting he would demonstrate his superiority over the Delaware man and he did this very effectively when the opportunity presented itself to-night. Both men were in splendid condition. The bout was devoid of toul work and was one of the cleanest and cleverest exhibitions evpr given under the Horton law. There was little to chooso between the men at the end of the go, but as McPartland had done more leading than his opponent the referee's decision in his favor was received with approval. Daly'a friends lost a lot of money on the result. THE LIRIOR PROBLEM. Points Drawn from Report of Department of Labor. Harper's Weekly. Doubtless an investigation of the results of the drink habit on employes in various industries would have a high economic value if it embraced a sufficient number of facts, and it it estimated with some degree of accuracy the variable conditions due to differences of character and temperament. The Department of Labor at Washington has issued its twelfth annual report, in which this phase of the liquor problem is treated on the basis of an investigation conducted in co-operation with a large number of employers. The points on wnich light was sought were, broadly speaking, concerned with the consideration wnich is given to the drinking habits of the seeker for employment and the means used in judging his fitness. The various industries in which those who indulge in intoxicants are not employed were considered, as well as the reasons for such exclusion from employment. The opinions and experience of employers were also investigated as to the use of liquors by employes subject to night work, overwork, exposure, irregular houis and shorter hours of labor. Ihe relation between pay days, holidays and Sundays and overindulgence in intoxicants was also considered, and, finally, the means suggested by employers as best calculated to lessen the consumption of intoxicants were examined. Os the 30.414 employers to whom schedules containing questions on the above points were addressed, 6,091 replied, reporting a total list of 1,745,923 employes. _ Manufacturing industries reported 3,700 establishments and 1,011,661 employes. while 713 transportation companies reported 458,764 employes. In other industries a fairly representative number of establishments and employes reported. It should be noted that less than one-fourth of the whole number of employers replied to the inquiries addressed to them. As was expected, the results of the investigation showed many differences in the point of view from which existing evils were sought to be remedied. Os 7,000 employers 5,363 reported that means were employed to ascertain the practice of employes in regard to intoxicants. The largest proportion of these were connected with transportation companies, where sobriety is a matter of the highest importance; and the two predominant reasons given were “to guard against accident” and “responsibility of position." More than one-half of the establishments reporting require, in certain occupations and under certain conditions, that employes shall not use intoxicants, while the remainder make no such requirement. In regard to the use of liquor by those engaged in night work, statistics will correct the prevalent impression that more drinking is done than by those who work during the day. Out of 1,659 establishments employing night workers, only 141 stated that more liquor was drunk than by day workers, while 1,460 reported less consumption among night workers than among day workers. Equally surprising and contradictory of the usual belief are the facts in regard to employes subject to overwork, exposure and irregular employment. These unusual conditions, according to the testimony of a very large majority establishments consulted, were not accompanied by any greater use of intoxicants than among those habituated to regular hours and more favorable conditions. There is here excellent material for consideration by those who have often based a certain class of arguments on premises v/hich at least need revision. There is nothing unusual about the findings of the labor commission in regard to the increase of drinking immediately after paydays and on holidays. It is human nature that a full purse should begin to a little liberally at first, and that its contents should disappear more slowly as the next payday is approached. By far the most interesting feature of the replies concerned the inquiry as to the best means of lessening liquor drinking among the people. Prohibition was suggested by 1,103 establishments, while 1,697 reported in favor of the imnemployment of drinking men, high license, education, abolition of saloons and local option. A great deal of the evil due to intoxicants is set down to the treating habit, whose contagious viciousness and seductive influence are denounced in many of the reports as the chief obstacles to the desired reform.

THE LESSORS OF THE WAk. An English Critic nn What We Ought to Learn Mow. London News. The war is practically at an end. The American boats are soon to resume their running to Southampton: the Spaniards evidently are only playing at not being in a hurry about peace terms. It has been one of the shortest wars on record. The President sent his ultimatum to Spain on April 20. The American ambassador to Spain received his passports on the following day. This makes little over three months. In that time • the Americans have destroyed two fleets, and. in fact, totally annihilated the sea power of their enemy. They have captured two great ports. They have oefeated the Spanish troops in the field, and have taken a province and thousands of prisoners. Above all, they have improvised the army with which they did this part of the work. Not had for the interval between rent day and rent day! The manner of this improvisation is a striking vindication in some ways of the American system. Most of the troops who swarmed up the slopes at Santiago, and captured intrenched positions held by seasoned troops and swept by artillery were mere untrained butchers, bakers, and candlestick makers at the beginning of the war. When they went into camp at Tampa they were the rawest of the raw hands. Many of their officers were probably little better. Their commissariat was a practical joke. Transport, medical service, all had to he created. The chief part of their equipment was their spirit as free men, their general intelligence, their lifelong habit of turning their hands and their brains to anything, and to master it at uncommonly short notice. In one word they had nothing at their back hut the system, and their whole military organization is based on the belief that, with this, they have the wherewithal for the ruggedest hour that time and spite can bring against their country in time of danger. This seems the chief lesson of the war, the lesson that most nearly covers the general question of principle. The others are more or less technical, but they, also, are of the greatest importance. We yet await a full and satisfactory account of the good fortune of the American, the ill-fortune of the Spanish fleets. The latter were clearly “outclassed” as the phrase goes. But why? Was it the seamanship, the guns, the ships? It is satisfactory to know that few foreign reputations were at stake in the fate of the vessels. Most of them were of Spanish build, the heavier ones especially, and they came from Bilhoa. Ferrol or Carthagena. The Cristobal Colon was of Italian birth, and was originally the Guiseppe Garibaldi. Some of the smaller fry. however, first saw the light at Elswick or at Blackwell. It remains to be seen in what manne.-, specifically. they were destroyed. Some American authorities say that their armor w’as practically intact when they ran ashore, and that what ruined them was the hail of small shells, which set fire to tlje woodwork of the unarmored parts, and generally made life impossible on board. If this is so. it seems to be a reason for less wood, or for more protection. The Americans unhesitatingly say less wood. The wood always splintered; and now. with the quick-firers pouring In small shells as the Maxim pours in bullets, it fires all o* er with a persistency that defies the pumps. At any rate, the naval experts of the whole world have now had their longdesired experimental war, and it will he their fault if they fail to lay every single lesson of it to heart.

TOLEDO, 0., Aug. 29.—A mad dog at the Ohio State Hospital for the Insane to-day bit a number of patients and tore a thumb from the hand of Dr. F. A. Todd, first assistant superintendent. The dog was killed after a desperate fight, and was examined by Dr. Newton, who found it was suffering from rabies. Alabunia Alarmed. MONTGOMERY, Ala., Aug. 29.—Late this evening the Governor, on the recommendation of the State Health Board, proclaimed a quarantine against Galveston, Tex., Franklin. l*a., and Key West, Fla.

M There are many thousands of wise women in this country who, when they found that they were sufferxing from weakff ness or disease of HI their distinctly ( I womanly organ- /// isms, promptly kl wrote to an erainent an d skillful L&lpj physician, with a / world-wide repu--6 / ] tation. instead of I/L J f II | trusting their ■J 4 f/Av \l I cases to some ob•V —-*; \\l * sc ure physician v - A with but limited ( ) r practice and experience. There are many reasons why a wise woman follows this course. The chances are that an obscure physician of small practice will not diagnose troubles of this nature pfoperly. If he does, he will insist on the obnoxious examinations and local treatment from which every sensitive, modest woman shrinks. The specialist referred to is Dr. R. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. Thirty years ago he discovered a wonderful medicine for diseases peculiar to women, that maybe used effectively in the privacy of the home, and does away with all necessity for examinations and local treatment. This medicine is known as Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It acts directly on the delicate and important organs concerned in wifehood and motherhood. It makes them strong, healthy and vigorous. It allays inflammation, heals ulceration, soothes pain and tones and builds up the nerves. Taken during the period of prospective maternity, it banishes the usual discomforts and makes baby’s coming easy and almost painless. It insures the little new-comer's health and an ample supply of nourishment. Over ninety thousand women have testified to its marvelous merits. Medicine dealers sell it. It is a druggist’s business to give you, not to tell you, what you want. Any ailing woman may write to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., and get free advice.

All persons must have been out of the above mentioned places ten days to enter the State. Bare Heads Hie Fashion. New York Evening Sun. This is a bareheaded summer. Go where you will in the country, you will find a pretty general discarding of the hat. Men and women go about with nothing but their hair as a protection from the sun. You will get glimpses of girls flying along country roads on bicycles in this condition. Perhaps It is simply a fashion, a erase of the moment. Perhaps it is something more. One fact is assured—there is a greater sanity in the clothes worn in the country now than was the case some time ago. This must be laid down to the exigencies of bicycling and golfing. Throughout the day the young person out of town is less artificial in the matter of clothes than she used to be some years ago. For one thing, she is less afraid of wind and sun. Perhaps the bareheaded habit is only an outcome of this. The Soldier Forgiven. HOLLIDA YSBITRG. Pa.. Aug. 29.-Wll- - Ryan, the soldier who ran amuck aboard the St. Louis express on Aug. 19 and assaulted Horace B. Geiger, of Philadelphia. and three other passengers, was released from jail to-day and was summoned to Fort Sheridan. 111. The Pennsylvania Railroad officials withdrew the prosecution. The commandant claimed that Ryan was an excellent soldier, but had succumbed to the generosity of the people, who, lost in admiration for a battle-scarred hero, had given him too much liquor to drink.

The crowd is estimated at from 5,009 to B,ouo people. Amusements were plenty, and it resembled a big circus day.
