CONVEYING THE OFFICIAL NEWS Either the Cruiser Philadelphia or Bennington Will Be Used. HONOLULU AS A CAMP SAN FRANCISCO, July 8—Rear Admiral Miller today received information from Washington that he is soon to be sent to Honolulu on a special mission, presumably in connection with the annexation of the islands. He will reczive his instructions early next week. The annexation will probably cause a change in General Otis’ plans for trans- porting troops to Manila. It has been sug- gested that ail the forces encamped in this city bs removed as speedily as possible to Honolulu, where a camp may be establish- ed. Transports would then ply between Manila and Honolulu, saving two weeks which would be consumed by the round journey from Hawaii to Callfornia. The United States may send a body of troops to Hawaii to support the n2w civil authori- ties and to garrison the island. To Get Ready for Sea, MARE ISLAND NAVY YARD, Cal.

Philippines. Some Features of Particular Interest in the Saturday Paper. A partial list of the contents of the big Saturday Star gives but a faint idea of the pleasure in store for the people of Wash- ington, and the many readers out of town, tomori »w. Clever newspaper writers in all ¢ this country, ia Cuba, in the Klon- South America and in Europe have contri" ted to make tomorrow's edition well t>» to the high average of Mterary merit that The Star has ever sougth to maintain. In the department of fiction The Star to- rrorrow will print the twelfth instal!ment of Robert W. Chambers’ serial, “Ashes of Empire,” a capital short story for boys entitled “The Mystery of the Lost Circus Train,” and a very unusual story from the pen of H. G. Wells, called “The Man Who Could Work Miracles.” These who have read “The War of the Worlds” will scarcely need to be assured of the quality of this story by Mr. Wells. It relates the Strange adventures of a man who discov ered by accident his power of suspending ratural laws by the exercise of his will. As usual, the interests cf the women will be well looked after, as there will be sev- eral fashion articles, written by people who are ia a position to speak with author- ity on the subject. Among the features of special importance in tomorrow's big paper may be mentioned the following: A MATTER OF DOUBT. (tllustrated.) A remarkably interesting story of the ef- forts that have been made at various limes to locate the exact resting place of the bones of Columbus; two cities now claim the honor. AMONG THE AYMARAS.

THE ROUGH RIDERS’ FIGHT Gol. Wood Reports That They Were Not Taken by Surprise. A Carefully Planned Attack on Front and Flank Against a Superior Force Was Wholly Successfal. ‘Phe Secretary of War has received the following dispatch from Col. Leonard Wocd, commanding the ist Volunteer alry, better known as the Rough I in regard to their engagement at La Qua- ciras: “CAMP 1ST U. S. VOL. CAVALRY, “Six miles out Santiago, ‘June 27, 1808. “Dear General: “Thinking that a line about our fight and general concitien would interest ycu, I take this opportunity to drop you a line. We are all getting along very comfortably thus far, and find the climate much better than we expected. Also the country, which aside from being awfully rough and full of undergrowth, is rather picturesque and attractive. “We commenced our advance from our first landing place on the 23d, and that night Gen. Young and I, as second in com- mand of the 2d Cavalry Brigade, had a long war talk about taking the v strong Spanish position about five miles up the road to Santiago. He decided that he would make a feint on their front 2nd hold on hard, while I was to make a de- tour by trail under a couple of Cuban guides and take them in flank and try to get them out of their very strong position, which was in the wildest and roughest part of the trail toward the town. “Our little plan worked. I located the Spanish outpost and deployed silentlys and when in position fired on them. Shortly after I opened I could hear Young on the right down in the valley. The fight lasted over two hours and was very hot and at rather close range. The Spanish used the volley a great deal, while my men fired as individuals. We soon found that, instead of 1,500 men, we had struck a very heavy outpost of several thousand. However, to cut a long story short, we drove them steadily but slowly and finally threw them into flight. Their losses must have been heavy, for all reports coming out of San- tiago report a great many dead and wound- ed, and that they—Spanish—had 4,000 men and two machine guns (these we saw), and were under two general officers, and that the Spanish dead and wounded were being brought in for six hours; also that the gar- rison was expecting an assault that night, that the defeated troops reported that they had fought the entire American army for four hours, but compelled by greatly su- perior numbers had retreated, and that the army,was coming, etc. “My men conducted themselves splendid- jy and behaved like veterans, going up against the heavy Spanish line as though they had the greatest contempt for them. “Yours, sincerely, : “LEONARD WOOD.” ° Invited to Send Delegate. A letter was recently received by the District Commissioners from the president of the Congres International de I’Art, at Brugsels, Belgium, inviting them to send a delegate to the congress, wich is to be held next September, to represent the na- tional capital in connection with its inter- est in art, and expecially in matters re- lating to the beautifying of the city. The Commissioners today fcrwarded the invitation to Mr. S. H. Kauffmann, presi- cent of the Corcoran Gallery of Art of this city, with a letter explaining that, as the Commissioners have no funds at their disposal to meet the expense of sending a Gelegate to the congress, they referred the invitation to him, as president of the Cor- coran Gallery of Art, for his considera- tion. The Commissioners stated to Mr. Kauffmann that they would be glad for eny suggestion he might care to make on the subject. sie n> < Sale Major Moore Seriously 111. Mr. William G. Moore, the major and superintendent of the District police force, is lying at his residence, 1710 L street, seriously ill from a complication of ail- ments.

INSPECTION OF FLOUR. Bill Reported to the House by District Committee. The House committee on the District of Columbia has favorably reported a bill (S. 2041) for the inspection of flour in the Dis- trict. The report on the bill says: “This bill is substantially existing law, but two new points being covered. When the law was passed by the legislative as- sembly in 1871 flour was. packed in barrels and half barrels, put not in sacks. Now a very large amount of the flour that comes to the District is packed in either jute or paper sacks, and thus escapes inspection. Merchants who buy flour, on appealing to the inspector for a certificate as to the proper weight and’ purity, find that there is no law which permits him to inspect flour In one Jot of flour received into istrict of Columbia a short time since underweiglit_ amounted to five barrels all of which, of course, came out of the purchasers in the District, who paid for more flour than they re “The law as it now stands permits per- sons to buy flour fer their own use with- out inspection.

TO HUNT DOWN THE SMALL BOATS. Many Spanish War Craft Scattered in the West Indies. The ravy is preparing for a grand hunt throughout the West Indies. There are a number of Spanish war craft left, scatter- ed through coves on the Cuban coast, and lying in obscure little harbors in the West Indian Islands. These are to be hunted down and captured or destroyed, and the movement is to begin immediately, fer until the gulf and Caribbean sea have been cleared of these little craft, no troop transports can be said to be entirely safe while passing between the United States and Cuba, and the navy is put to the necessity of sending formidable convoys along with the troops. Many of the little boats have already been spotted through the agency of the State Department, and the others will soon be located by the aid of the swift little torpedo boats and aux- iliary craft, which have proven so useful heretofore. It was with this object in view that the recently constructed torpedo boats Gwyn, Morris and others were ordered from the north to Florida waters. SS TO PRESERVE PUBLIC ORDER. Provisions of a Bill Passed by the Senate. The Senate has passed a bill to amend an act for the preservation of the public peace and protection of property in the District of Columbia, approved July 29, 1892. This bill has received the approval of the Commissioners and the courts of the District. The bill provides penalties for the de- struction or disfigurement of public or pri- vate property m the District. It also makes it unlawful for persons to congre- gate in any street, alley, public park, etc., and engage in loud and boisterous talking, etc., or to make rude or obscene gestures or commerts on persons passing by, etc. Provision is in the bill for the further suppression of vagrancy in the District.

THURSTON’S DEPARTURE Happy Over the End of the Fight for Annexation, He Holds That Hawaii Has Beoome Part of the Union and He an American Citizen, Mr. Lorrin A. Thurston, formerly mini ter from Hawaii to the United States, left Washington, today for San Francisco, where he will take steamer for the, newly ennexed American territory. Mr. Thurston was justifiably happy as he made ions for his exit from the scene of his untiring exertions for many months in the interest of union. The vote on the New- lands resolution in the Senate the othe: Gay, while long expected, was, neverthele suddenly reached, and not much time wa: given to whe expect to partici in the annexation ceremonies in Honolulu to make ready for the long journey. Mr. Thurston was proud ‘to have become an American citizen.

There has been Kk about the necessity of joint ac- the legislature of Hawaii to ratify the work of the American Congress, but this is not well founded, according to the authorities of the State Department. Had the Senate ratified the treaty of annexa ich had already been ratified by the Hawaiian legislature, the action would in itself have completed the union of the two nations. But the Senate instead pass tne legislative measure and it ¥ by some that it would then be necessary for Hawaii to follow with a corresponding enactment “I have been told by -those at the State Department who have studied the matter, that this government considers that the President's action of last evening was suf- ficient to make Hawaii American territo! and that it is not sential that Hawaii should take further action in the prem- ises. If Hawaii should wish to pess legis latively upon the joint resolutions, | of course this would make the transaction more formal and would probably be more atisfactory from an historical point of view. This is likely to be done, but we wko were formerly Hawaiians do not need to wait for such action before becominz your fellow-citizens. We are proud to be such. “It has been a long, hard fight, and I think The Star deserves unstinted praise and credit for its share in the work. It has been strong and stanch in its ad- vocacy of annexation from the start, and Hawaii and the United States are indebt- ed 4o it and other papers of this country for the gicrious service they have ren- dered in behalf of union.” In parting a suggestion was jocularly advanced that there was slight danger that the Hawaiians woul] throw Mr. Thurston out of the country when he got back to Hawaii. The former minister laughed and replied that he thought he Would probably be permitted to land upon his return. ————-e THE GUILT OF DREXFUs.

TROUBLE THE CAUSE eee MENTAL Mrs. Catherine F. Murphy jumped from a third-story window of Providence Hos- pital Monday morning and died about thir- ty hours afterward. The certificate of Geath recorded at the health office gives the case as one of suicide. The injuries mentioned in the certificate are rupture of the bladder and fracture of the left ankle. Mrs. Murnhy was the wife of C. W. Murphy of 1356 E street southeast. She had been sick for several weeks, and Sun- day morning showed symptoms of a dis- ordered mind. Her husband end brother went with her to the hospital. Two days later Mr. Murphy was sent for, but reach- ed there barely in time to see his wife be- fore she died. Dr. Wall, the resident phy sician at the hospital, gave a certificate of death, which was approved by the coroner later on. As already stated, Mrs. Murphy had been sick for several weeks. The patient seem- ed to be getting along well, but Sunday morning she left the house before break- fast and disappeared. Later on her hus- band found her at the home of Mr. Frank Bateman, her haif brother, No. 521 lth street. Makes an Accusation. Mrs. Murphy had gone to Mr. Bateman’s and made a startling complaint against her husband, who she said had kicked and beaten her urtil she had lost a consid- erable amoant cf blood. She said there were pools of blocd all about the house. “If you don’t believe me,” she said to her hal§ brother, “go and see for yoursel It was evitent from her appearance that pething of the kind had transpired, and ker demeanor was such as to arouse the suspicion that her mind had become de- ranged. Mr. Murphy was soon visited by Mr. Bateman, aad he went around to the latter's house. Her Strange Actions. Mrs. Murphy was persuaded to go to the hospital, and when the institution was reached Sister Beatrice suggested that the it could not be accepted, as her looks jicated that she was not all right men- tally “If she is crazy,”“said her husband, “she never been so before.” er Beatrice questioned Mrs. Murp! and when the latter gave answers which made it appear there was nothing wrong with her mind, she was taken to St. Mary's ward and put to bed. Early the next morn- ing Mrs. Murphy put on her clothes and started to leave the building. She was found on the lower floor, and was then taken back to the ward. She was deprived of her clothing, and it was thought she would then not attempt to leave. Shortly before noon, however, the other patients in the room were heard screaming, - and investi ion showed that the unfor- tunate woman had jumped from the win- dew. Injuries Serious. She was so seriously injured that she cculd not make any further effort to escape and the doctor and others returned her to the ward on the third flocr. Rev. Mr. John, stor of Christ Church, called to see her, y recognize him for a few and was sent for end 1 before she died, but s of his presence.
