CUMBERLAND, Md., July 16—A re- markable cave has been discovered near Parkersburg, W. Va. ‘The entrance will only permit one person going in at a time, and after proceeding ten or fifteen feet a room is encountered, twenty feet of solid stone. Dates are carved on the walls as far back as 1598. In one corner of the room a stone door, swung on large steel hin ds to stone steps, which the explorers followed to a room, ten feet below the first room, where many hu- min skeletons were found, By the aid of rope one can be lowered into another room, twenty feet below the skeleton cham- ber, w can be found by the hun- dred in a the fish resembling the common pe Hundreds of stone fish are to be found in the different sections of the cave. These the people are carrying away as relics. The cave is on the farm of B. A. Price. A party from Morgantown, W. Va., opened one of a series of mounds in the vicinity of Cheat Neck, W. Va., with interesting re- sults. The mound was partly built of stones, rising in a conical shape and cov- ered with moss and wild flowers. After considerable labor, an entrance was made to the center of the mound, where two skeletons were found in a fair state of preservation, both being of gigantic stature and build. When the men were in full life they must have been at least twelve feet high and possessed of enormous strength, as the size of the bones would indicate. With the exception of the enormous skulls, which were partly crumbled and decayed, thé skeletons were in a perfect state « preservation. ————— Archbishop of Santa Fe Dead.

Pettitt of the 4th Volunteer In- fantry Makes Application. Col. James L. Pettitt, commanding the Ath Regiment of the United States Volun- teer Infantry (immunes), called upon Adju- tant General Corbin this morning and in- formed him that that regiment was fully armed and equipped and ready and anx- jous for service in the field. He made special application for duty with the ex- pedition to be sent to San Juan de Porto Rico, and it {s more than probable that his wishes will be respected. Col. Pettitt was formerly captain of the Ist Regular Infantry and served with that regiment for a Jong time at San Francisco. At the outbreak of the war with Spain he was summoned to Washington for duty in the office of the adjutant general, and rendered good service In the organization of the reg- ular and volunteer armies. His present command, the 4th Regiment of.so-called immunes, is now rendezvoused at Freder- icksburg, Va. It was recruited in the Caro- linas, Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia. —_—_—__o—___ Pension for Mrs. Moore. Upen the recommendation of Capt. Aus- tin, the acting major and superintendent of the District police force, the Commis- sioners have directed that the usual for- mality attending the granting of pensions to widows of members of the force be waived in the case of the late Wm. G. Moore, and that the sum of $50 a month be appropriated out of the policemen’s fund for his widow, Mary G. Moore, under the act of February 25, 1885. The Commission- ers have also approved Capt. Austin's rec- ommendation that the sum of 375 be uppro- priated out of the same fund on account of the funeral expenses of the late head of the police department. —<—__ Vigilance at the Tampa Camp. The outbreak of fever at Santiago has caused the War Department to redouble its vigilance over the camp at Tampa, where typhoid fever exists. There are some cases of malarial fever there, which are being closely watched, but the strict precautions being taken are expected to prevent any more serious disease. pincer s It matters little what it is that you want— whether a situation or a servant—a “wan ad. in The Star will reach the person who can fill your FIGHTING YELLQW FEVER Troops at Santiago tp Be Moved to High Ground. E Prompt Measures for Their Vrotce- tion to Be Takep—sigps to Keep * Disease Out of, This Country. Pending the settlement.of the details of the capitulation at Ssntlago, the War De- partment officials are giving the major por- tion of their attention to the adoption of strict measures for the protection cf our troops from yellow fever and from the low tropical fevers that have wrought such havoc among them. Beginning with the troops at Santiago, the department has (le- cided to remove them at the carliest pos- sible moment to the country in the rear. Adjt. Gen. Corbin said today that within five miles of Santiago proper the conditions were as nearly ideal as obtainable in the tropics for stamping out the fever. The high hills insured well-drained camps, a most important element in the preserva- tion of health; the water supply coming from the mountains was pure and abun- dant, and the fresh sea breezes prevailed in the hilltops. While the main body of troops is to be transferred back to these hills un- til they are needed for service elsewhere or are returned to the United States, some troops will necessarily be placed either in the town itself or in camps commandiug the place, in order to protect the inhab- itants. It is believed that the two regiments of immunes already on their way to Santiago will be assigned to that duty. This will be a severe test of the principle involved in the formation of the immune regiments for it is suspected that many of the al- leged immunes are merely persons who have spent but a few weeks In the tropics under conditions that never brought them into direct exposure to yellow fever. It is the present intention of the authori- ties here to maintain a military govern- ment at Santiago, regardless of hints from Cuban sources that they are prepared to undertake the administration there. It is believed that the United States is under mcral obligation to the world to see to it that nothing but a highly civilized govern- ment shall be set up in Cuba, wherefore the authorities here are disposed to be ex- tremely cautious and to make full test of the capacity of the Cubans before entrust- ing the lives and property of the people of Santiago to their care. No Cases in This Country. Surgeon General Wyman of the marine hospital service says there is not a single case of yellow fever in this country, so far as he knows, and no preparations are mak- ing to receive yellow fever patients. It is his understanding that Secretary Alger soon will order the two companies of sol- diers now at Tortugas, off the Florida coast, to some other point, and this place then wiil revert to the marine hospital ser- vice, in whose custody it was before the war broke out. Surgeon General Sternberg of the army left here today for a visit of several days to New York city. To meet the exigencies of the situation at Santiago caused by the appearance of yellow fever among the the medical corps there {s to be re- dditional immune doctors and in addition, ‘a large consignment of . which are specially needed in the ent circumstances, are’ to be immedi- ately rushed to al Shafter. For this purpose it has be “i da ship from New York « the trans- port Resolute, and it i he will leave that place by Monday or Tuesday The transport Olivette, loaded with sick end wounded, is due in New York in a few The men aboard are-to be distribu ed among the marine hospital at New York and other hospitals ‘in Brooklyn. Gen. berg hopes to be present when the sel arrives and to superintend the ar- ngements incidental to the landing of the men. Surgeon General Van Reypen of the navy has gone to Fort Monroe to: meet the nay: hospital ship Solace, expected to arrive there today. The Solace, it is understood, brings the last of the wounded men from Santiago, and the cases aboard are of the more serious type, which would not pe: mit of removal on the ordinary transports or admit of treatment in the field hospitals in Cuba. The press reports of the terrible condi- tions existing on the steamer Harvard as she entered Portsmouth harbor yesterday have given rise to the keenest _apprehen- sion in the Navy Department. It 1s hoped that the guarded statements given out by the local physicians as to the character of the fevers prevalent on the boat among the Spanish prisoners will be borne out by @ more careful diagnosis. Meanwhile every effort will be made to prevent a spread of contagion if it exists on the Harvard, and the medical authorities here are satisfied of their ability to rapidly, stamp out the fever. They declare that even if it should be es- tablished that yellow fever exists among the Spanish prisoners, there is no possible danger of the spread of the disease in the cool, damp climate of the New England coast. —__~ +. TO PREVENT PENSION FRAUDS. A Stringent Law Passed at Commi sioner Evans’ Wish, During the expiring hours of Congress a@ bill was passed which escaped the at- tention of the public, although it was of considerable importance. It was the Dill amending section 4746 of the Revised Stat- utes, a measure that had the earnest sup- port of the commissioner of pensions, since by its passage much of the fraud con- nected with the pension business would be wiped out.

WELLMAN PASSES VARDOE Arctic Expedition Continued Its Journey Northward From There Today. The Fridtjof Met a Spanish Ship at Archangel—No Trouble as Neither Had Guns.

While at Archangel the governor of that place refused to allow the Fridtjof and a Spanish shio to sail on the same day, say- ing he feared the hostilities between Spain and the United States would cause an out- break between the crews of the two skips, although the Spanish ship was a trader and the armament of Mr. Wellman’s steam- er only consisted of a harpoon gun.

Colored Congregation Directed Rescind Order Dismissing Men Special Ccrrespondence of The Eveuing Ster. ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 14, 1898. A council called at the True Reformers’ Hall, on Prince street, Alexandria, by the aggrieved members of the Ebenezer Baptist Church, eighty-eight in number, convened at 11 a.m. Thursday and was organized by the election of the Rev. E. R. Jackson as moderator and Rev. A. H. Callett as clerk. After devotional exercises by Revs. Jack- son and Howard, the roll of churches was called and a majority of the churches of Washington .and Alexandria responded. The aggrieved members were then repre- sented by their committee, Mrs. Anderson, Mr, Anderson, Mr. Williams and others. The council appointed the following com- mittee on resolutions, which withdrew and afterward reported to the effect that the council had heard with sorrow of the seri- ous difficulty existing in the Ebenezer Church, and having been called to give counsel and advice, ‘we advise the Eb- enezer Baptist Church to rescind its former action in excluding those members whose names appear on the rollspresented to us— thirty-two in number.” The reason for this advice is that ‘‘the action of the church in excluding the members named was irregu- lar and without scriptural ground, in that they were not presented with a copy of charges preferred against them; neither were they called to trial by the church regularly, nor informed of the charges, but were excommunicated upon charges pre- sented to them after they were excommuni- eated, which they had no chance to rebut.” After citing other alleged charges, the council recommended that the church come together and restore the thirty-two eXclud- ed members to full membership, and, as the trouble seems to have originated over he calling of a pastor, that when they shall have restored these excluded mem- bers they will as soon as possible assemble themselves for the purpose of taking an- other vote on calling a pastor, as this seems to be the only way out of the pres- ent difficulty. The council also advised that, should the church decline to grant to ers. eesegoss 924, 926, 928 7th, running through to 704-706 K st. ee: thousand yards of fine cambric instead of at the prices which we they arrived earlier. now.
