Uprear on the Floor of the Senate Would Have Shamed the Bull Ring.—General Polavieja Organizing the Malcontents Madrid, Sept 8 —The disorderly scenes witnessed in the chamber yesterday evening would shamed a bull ring. Fists and sticks were shaken in the air, and invec- tives were to be heard As ao result, several pected to take place. It is understood here that Spain intended to bargain at peace conference to retain part of the Philippine islands, but the im- pression semehow prevails that a republic will be established there under the protectorate of the United Statee, Great Britain and Germany. General Polavieja, the former cap- tain general of Cuba and of the Philippine islands, who has just issued a manifesto intimating that he is ready to place himself at the head of a neutral political party, is understood to be recruiting a strong party of discontented liberals and others, with the object, it is claimed, of destroying the military prepon- derence of the government General Polaviejo's new party is assuming the greatest importance. His pro gram has met with the warm approval of the great newspapers, particularly El Imparcial, El Heral do and El Nacional. El Nacional, until lately, had supported General Weyler, but it will rally now to Gen. Polaviejo, who proposes a reorgani. zation of Spain from the financial and political view points. It is understood that General Polavieja decided to organize a new party, after several conferences with a “high personage,” whe, however, has not interfered directly in the formation of the party. His mani festo is now under consideration. If the military censor refuses to grant an exequateur, the manifesto will be read in the chamber of deputies The general conviction is that as soon a3 the treaty of peace 1s signed the Sagasta cabinet will resign and be replaced by either a Silvela ora Polaviejo ministry. The speech of Count d’Almenas in the senate yes terday has greatly excited the mili tary party, whose bot espousal of the cause of their Cuban comrades threatens to make trouble Sener Sagasta said this evening: “The nomination of the peace com- mission is delayed, because the com Mmiesioners ought to have the full confidence of the government, but who can say who will be in power a month hence?” have WILL SRE SERVICE IN CUBA. Revised List of Regiments in Seventh Corps Made Pablic. Washington, D.C, Sept. 8 —Ad- jutaot General Corbin made public to-day the revised list of the seventh army corps up to this morning.

AT LEXINGTON, 1 But Want to Be Mastered Out, lo amp Hawitron, Ky., Serr. 6, 1898. Ep. Trwgs:—After so long a time I find time to write a few lines. We left Chickamauga Aug. 27, at 2:30 a. m. and marched to Ringgold, Ga, and took the train Had dinner in Chattanooga, supper at Nashville, breakfast at Louisville and dinner at Lexington. After dinner pulled out for camp 4 miles northeast; had to pitch camp in the rain and fight bumble bees at the same time. We havea pretty camp here on a hill, and the blue grass is somewhat different from Chickamauga dirt. We are about 4 mile east of Bryens springs. Our division hospital is very near it and uses water from there. There are some 250 patients in our hospital about balf what there were at Chickamauga and only one death since we have been here. Uo. B has three men there, Wainwright, Ritner and Mock, all getting along pretty well. Mock has the measles. The war department has at last woke up and say they will allow women nurses which will be a great improvement I am getting fur- loughbs for ths boys just as fast as they can be issued so they can go home and build up. I expect to get offall the men unfit for duty this week Just received notice that Conley L. Smith another cf my boys at Chickamauga, was dead He was one of the best soldiers in the 2ud Mo ; never complained and always did hia duty cheerfully, and was a model young man in every respect It is a good thing they moved us or I guess we would all have gone the same way Nearly all of the boys are anxious to muster out and go home, but they are much better satisfied than when at Chickamauga We have good water here and cool weather and but two hours’ drilling per day. So after all, the boys don’t work much, but they are ured of soldier- ing and have uo idea when they will be went home. Rees ueces oy -L. Jomxson. Woman Re ber, Centralia, Mo., Sept. 7.—W. H. Cox, residing nine miles south of Centralia, arose before daylight yes terday, aud going to bis barn, dis- covered a covered wagon near his buggy house with a woman on the! front seat. On the approach of Mr. Cox a man emerged from tne barn with an ermfu! of articles, which be threw into the wagon. He then jumped into the wagon and drove off. Mr. Cox called bis son and they both mounted horses and followed the wagov. "inding they would be overtaken the fugitives threw the stolen articles from the wagon. On overtaking the outfit Mr Cox at! tempted to chastise the man but the! woman came to the rescue, striking | Mr. Cox repeatedly in the face with her fist and, after tearing his coat |from his back, the woman lashed Mr | Cox with a whip until bis arms bled Meanwhile young Cox came up with | a shotgun, and told the woman to | | Colonel William J.

I have a little baby in the wagon over there.” | After some parleying the couple were allowed to depart. Body Mang d by Hogs.
