CAMP SHERMAN DEDICA'TED Special From a Staff Correspondent. CINCINNATI, Ohio, September 5, 1998. ‘The festivities which bave been arranged for the members of the Grand Army of the Republic and of its auxiliary, the Woman's Relief Corps, during the thirty-second an- nual reunion of the former organization, began this morning amidst great enthus- iasm and in the presence of thousands of spectators. At 8 o'clock the flagship was placed in commission with appropriate ceremonies at the public landing, and there was music under tue auspices of the Naval Veterans’ Association. This was followed by the dedication at 10 o'clock of Camp Sherman, which is located at Chester Park, one of the loveliest spots near Cincinnati. The program for the remainder of the day and evening is as follows: Hight p.m., at Music Hall, camp fire in honor of naval veterans and ex-prisoners of war. Prominent speakers Will be pres- ent, and there will be war pictures, music and miscetianeous entertainment, under the auspices of citizens’ committee, G. A. R. ‘The Commandery of Ohio, Military Ordér Loyal Legion, will receive during the day and evening ‘at its headquarters, Lincoln Club building, 8th and Race. Iifumination—8 to 12 p.m. Band concerts and general illumination of the city. At Camp Sherman, Chester Park, there will be miscellaneous entertainment under auspices of citizens’ committee, G. A. R.

Two games of base ball were scheduled for the day, one at 9:30 a.m., the other 3 p.m.—Cincinnati Reds vs. Cleveland. The theaters were open at 2 p.m. and will be again at 8:15 p.m. Washington Delegation Arrives. CINCINNATI, Ohio, September 5.—The special train carrying the members of the Department of the Potomac, Arthur Hen- Gricks, commander, and Women's Relief Corps, Mrs. Anna A. Peck, president, which left Washington at noon yesterday, via the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, arrived promptly on time this morning. Gommand- er Hendricks says the party had a grand time. On reaching here they were weleum- ed at the station by hundreds of Cincinnati people. - Large Sale of Tickets. After the rains of yesterday and last night there is no longer apprehension of prestrations from heat during the encamp- ment. The railways are bringing in ex- s from every direction, and the al posts are kept busily engaged in es- certing the visitors to thelr quarters. Al- theugh Camp Sherman was not dedicated till 10 today it was partially occupied ; veterans last night. Other tents pitched in the parks were also used, and all quar- ters will be well occupied tonight. The re- perts of the railways indicate over 200,000 tickets sold. While many have arrived the past two days, these railway reports indi- te a greater influx the next two days than was ever known before at a G. A. R. national encampment. The National Soldiers’ Home at Dayton, Ohio, is less than sixty miles distant, and the veterans from that institution are tak- ing active part. Those who can participate in the parade will wear khadi sults, the some as the rough riders. They have over 100 men in their band, the largest ever sent to any encampment. ‘Three other bands from Dayton accompany this con- tingent, with which the Dayton posts will also be associated. It is estimated by Cap- tain Harry E. Feicht and Captain T. J. Adkins that there will be 10,000 people here from Dayton. Among the questions discussed is one to make all engaged in the late Spanish war €ligible to membership as comrades in the “old army.” A Grand Welcome. The veterans of Sumter and of Appomat- tox, the boys who wore the blue from ‘61 to "65, and who carried the flag through the storms of defeat and the sunshine of victory, are having a welcome at the hands of the good people of the queen city of the west, as they come to clasp hands over the camp fires of the grand encampment of "JS. Not @ promise made by the delegates trom Cincinnati to the veterans of the Grand Army has been unfulfilled; not a greeting that was promised to these boys in blue but is thrice heartened by the people of Cincinnati; not a door is closed and not a shout but a welcome greets the veterans of the civil war, whose bitter memories have been iaid to rest under the flag that Dewey floated cver Manila bay, that Sampson and Schley and Shafter bore to Victory in Santiago Bay, and from Santia- go Heights, where northern and southern boys clasped hands in token of perpetual amity against foreign foes and dissensions. At least eleven national organizations, all composed of old soldiers and sailors, or their wives and daughters, will hold ses- sions in the city this week. The National Engampment of the G. A. R. will be in session two days, September 8 and 9. The meetings will be held in Music Hall, at 14th and Elm streets. The three woman's or- ganizations, which are practically auxilia- ries to the G. A. R., will meet as follows, Woman's Relief Corps, Scottish Rite Ca- thedral, Broadway near 4th street, Septem- ber 8 and 9; Ladies of the G. A. R., in the auditorium of the new Odd Fellows’ Tem- ple, corner 7th and Elm streets, Septem- ber 7 and 8; Daughters of Veterans, in the Assembly room of the same building, Sep- tember 8 and 9. The National Association of Naval Vet- erans, are, by reason of prominence earned by the United States navy in the Spanish war, to receive unusual attention this year. Their annual session is being held in the Y. M. C. A. Hall, 7th and Walnut streets, beginning at 8 a.m. today. The Women’s Auxiliary to the Naval Veterans will meet in the Literary Club rooms, 25 East Sth street. This afternoon the National Asso- ciation of ex-Prisoners of War will meet in the library room of the Mechanics’ In- stitute. Woman's Auxiliary and Army Nurses. Tomorrow the Woman's Auxiliary will meet in the same building at the same time. The National Association of Army Nurses, another woman's organization, will meet in hall A, Odd Fellows’ Temple, tomorrow, as will also the Loyal Home Workers in hall D, same building, at 10 a.m., and the Medal of Honor Legion will convene in the council chamber of the city hall Septem- ber 6. The United States Maimed Sol- diers’ League will meet in the Loyal Le- gion headquarters, Grand Hotel, Wednes- day. The Mississippi River Ram _ Fleet Survivors’ Association will hold its ses- sions at police court hall, city building, be- ginning tomorrow. The committee on halls and meeting Places has assigned ninety-eight meetings for the encampment week, consisting of regimental, brigade, corps and division re- uionns, the ’98 meeting represemting more than 300 such organizations. These are without reference to the Ing campfires and receptions. One of the most attractive places which has been placed at the disposal of the members of the G. A. R. for the time be- ing is Fort Thomas, about twenty miles from the ci! in Kentucky. A member of the Woman's Relief Corps spoke of Fort thomas to a Star correspondent as fol- lows: ““Little Phil,’ as the gallant Sheridan is known, selected -he site on which Fort Thomas is situated. Could he have thought that a cruel war would be waged in a few years, and that possibly the sons of those whom he had been proud to lead in line would in turn march shoulder to shoulder to plant the flag into whose colors the word surrender has never been woven, in the land of the oppressed, and who from the enemy’s bullet or life's relentless sap- ping fever find a resting place at beautiful Fort Thomas? “It is reached by a winding electric route through the Kentucky hills, with here and there a valley, passing the city reservoirs, which sparkle in the sunlight, and many ‘old Kentucky homes’ sit grandly back in their velvety lawns. Here you enter the fort, which is like a little city, with its cemented walks, fragrant flower beds, spa- cious quarters for the officers, administra- tion buildings, and all situated on the east- ern bluff overlooking the Ohio river, where the passing beats with their many-hued lights is a scene fit for an artist. Further on in the fort the buildings used for hos- pital purposes are large and commodious and scrupulously clean. “There are wide aisles, and windows on either side of these buildings give ample light and ventilation, and in each of the Stow-covered beds some one’s darling awaits the turning point. As Colonel Gard- ner goes through the wards, with his gen- ial smiles and cheerful words, {t is appar- ent that the sick appreciate his presence. Cotonel Gardner had a large gasoline range built that will cook for fifty at a time; also a large refrigerator capable of hold- ing 1,000 pounds of ice, with as many apartments for different foods.” Splendid Arches. Magnificent arches, which do honor both to the queen city and her guests of the Grand Army of the Republic during the national encampment, have been erected. The grand triumphal arch, which has been erected on Government Square, is the larg- est arch of its kind eyer erected in this country, and is a marvelous piece of work. It was designed by Messrs. Dittoe and Wisenall of this city. The top of the arch or esplanade 1s reached by massive stairs, over which fifteen men can walk abreast. The sides of the stairs have railings paint- ed in white and gold relief. The domes are higher than the upper floor of the urch. ‘The entire arch, painted in beautiful white and gold, has been relleved with gold pan- els, on which appear the names of some of the country’s greatest generals. The cs- planade on top of this arch will probably be used for a reviewing place for President McKinley and staff, should they come, and other notable men who will be hero @nring the encampment. It will also ba used nightly for grand concerts, and is t adapted for fireworks display. This has 2,000 elec- tric lights. The design {s built diferent from anything for a similar purpose, and Cincinnatians feel proud of the work ‘since it has been compleied. ‘The arch at 4th and Race streets is not as large as the grand triumphal arch, but is one of the most beautiful ever erected in this country. The dome is a fac-simile of the dome of the Capitol at Washington. The windows are of glass, and prescnt a beautiful sight when lighted at night. The dome is built of sheet iron, and is perfectly round. The statues blowing the trumpets are of life size, made of imitation bronze. The four spreading eagles and the two eagles on the interior of the arch arc mada of plaster and are life-size. The goddess on the dome is of iron, and ts profiled about ten feet high. The colors are of delicate tints. The electric display on this arch is very fine, and there is no doubt it will be an attraction during the encampment. There has also been an arch erected at 12th and Vine streets. This arch repre- sents the army and navy crowned hy the Goddess of Liberty. The army is repre- sented by an American soldier and the navy by an American sailor. The figures are life size, and stand on top of a pedes- tal about twenty feet high. The electric display on this arch is very elaborate, and is painted in bright colors and the life-size figures. J.T. He —_+-—— DEATHS AT SANTIAGO. Gen. Lawton Reports on Conditions in the Hospitals.

MAP SHOWING ROWER OF EXPEDITION FROM SHENDY TQ OMDURMAN. NO DELAY WANTED rece Tin, aa District Regiment ig Homesick Down to Its Boots. THE DANGER OF RECEPTIONS Col. Harries is Net Ashamed of Its Men. 1 ——— oll THE ESCORT QUESTION Special From a Staff Correspondent. CAMP WIKOFF, Montauk Point, L. I., September 5, 1893. Saturday there was @ rumor around the District regiment camp that the start for home was to be made at once. It went through the company streets like wildfire and was enthusiastically received. It was believed because the men wanted to believe it. Col. Harries promptly and vigorously smashed the life out of the rumor and ex- pressed his opinion strongly about the start- ing of such stories as demoralizing to the men. The improvement in the regiment's spir- its and health as an outcome of the an- nouncement that it would start for home Thursday has been marked. The men were ready to jump at every idea of an even earlier start, and if they should be told that there had been a postponement from Thursday the effect would be deplorable on weak and debilitated bodies. The fact must be borne in mind that more than one has died of homesickness through this affair, not primarily, perhaps, but the homesick- ness has been the straw that killed. These men ought to come home, I am satisfled of that, and no detafls of a reception should stand in the way of their wish being grant- ed. I have talked with the officers and I have talekd with the men, and “Home, home!” is their ery. Those who can are getting furloughs or leaves of absence and goirg home. A large: number of the regi- ment are already away from here. In the regimental hospital furloughs are given to every man able to travel. In the regimental camp three and four days’ leaves are deci- mating the ranks. This is the policy of Gen. Wheeler and those in command. They want to get men out of the hospital to make way for others, and any excuse is good enough to get a leave for a well man. Put the departure of the regiment off long- er and the men, through one means or an- other, will get home anyway, and only the entirely well and the friendiess will be left. You may say Col. Harries should not al- low them to go, but Col. Harries has noth- ing to do with it. The moment a man goes to general hospital he 1s out of Col. Har- ries’ control and he is furloughed right from there. Numbers of others have been and are being furloughed by direct order from the War Department. The men here know that 8thers are go- ing, officere.of the regimenthl staff, even, and they want to go,;tvo., Then, again, these men are weak, debilitaté®, broken down, chills in thelr systems, fever tn their blood, they are getting things to eat; every- thing that can be gotten for them her. but things to eat are not all they would get at home, and the nursing and coddling and eating of home is what ‘these men need and want. The !dea that Washington is too hot for them after Cuba seems laugha- ble to these boys in blue. Then, again, they are sleeping on the ground here without tent trenches. A few days’ hard rain would add materially to the varied assort- ment of chills and fevers in camp. These men are not kicking, they ‘are not com- plaining; they are not joining in the na- tional hysterics; they are soldiers and are going to obey whatever orders their offi- cers give them. There would be no thought of home-going if there was work or fight- ing to be done, but there is none. Tne work is finished, the fighting over and nothing stands between the growing long- ing for mother, wife and sweetheart, De- partment red tape hag. starved stomachs of late. Reception committee red tape must not starve hearts. The fact of cut- ting down reception programs does not affect the thinking men up here. All the programs in the world are nothing to them in comparison to the kiss of mother or wife. Then, bear in mind another thing, the soldiers coming back from Cuba now or ten days from now are not in condition to go through with long and elaborate re- ceptions The 7ist Regiment marched into New York the other day. They were en- thusiastically received and there was an elaborate reception, and since then men have died in that regiment and dozens of convalescents are back in their beds, and the doctors—mind, the doctors, and not a pessimistic newspaper man—say the deaths and relapses were due to the excitement of the reception. The citizens of Chicago were preparing some monster ceremonies for the 1st Illinois, but Col. Turner has wired them that the only reception he and his men want is permission to go to their homes from the train and meet their loved ones. ‘The excitement of long and elaborate re- ceptions to sick and weak men has a good deal the same ring to It us insisting on hos- pital patients getting drunk. The patients are, likely, high spirited during the drunk, but they stand a good chance of dying next day. The men in this regiment are as one man in not wanting aay escort. A fine tooth comb will not find another opinion in the regiment. They want to march back as they marched out. That is the cpinion of the men and it ends there. Beyond the ex- pression of his opinion they feel they have nothing to do. It is a matter for the peo- ple down home to settle. Outside of the wishes of the men, however, there is some- thing to consider in this escort business. The regiment ts not in shape to staad much waiting about in line, and if a heavy escort and long parade is going to mean a succes- sion of halts it is going to be a bad thing for this lot of men. In short, and in brief} thetregiment fs in shape to swing up the avenue, it is in shape to receive the welcomé bf its friends along the way, It is in shapd to g9 through brief ceremonies at the White House, and {t is in splendid shape to freak’ up into indi- viduals to be taken to’ 00 homes, and fed and nursed and petted. A goodly propor- m4 tion of it, moreover, is‘going to be in posi- tion to receive from Washington the kind of welcome chat will do the most good, the welcome news to individuals that places and opportunities to eurn bread are open to them. es et I understand Col. Harriss is quoted in ‘Washington as saying he Was ashamed of his men for wenting to gd hgme. The men in this regiment know jhe pride the colonel takes in them and huw aosurd such a story ls. I happened to be present and to hear what Col. Harries did say. A corre- spondent, the same, by the way, who had the men dying Ike sheep in Cuba, who landed them in Montauk in such a condi- tion that they could not totter, asked the colonel if there was any tguth in thegumor that the regiment was to go home at once, even before Thursday,; Col. Harries then said he was ashamed of the peopl2 who de- moralized the men by spreading such Stories, TOM C.

Ccnsular Agent Mertens at Valencia has made the following report to the State Department, under date of the 14th ulti- mo, in regard to industrial enterprises .n Spain: “The effect of the war upon Spanish trade is clearly manifested in the returns for the month of June, 1898, compared with the same month of the previous year. There was a decline of 51,000,000 pesetas ($9,843,000) in importations, while the port trade produced an Increase of but lit- tle over 9,000,000 pesetas ($1,737,000) worth of goods, principally in raw material sought after from abroad on account of the low value of the peseta. But now that the war Is over the making of commercial treaties between America and Spain ougnt to be considered. Not only should products be exchanged, but various commercial en- terprises should be organized. “E desire to call attention to the supe- rior quality of olive ofl which is produced in certain districts of this province of Va- ler cia, Unfortunately, a lack of the spirit of enterprise, as well as an ignorance of trading principles, has kept this product of Valencia practically unknown to the world. Spanish manufacturers who traded only in their own country or exported to their former colonies have, through fear of competition, adulterated their excellent olive ofl with inferior peanut oil, thus not only discrediting themselves, but also the reputation of their products. Soll and labor are cheap in this country, and, above all, money is cheap. Spanish money can be bought at almost half its par vabue, for- eign exchange being at a premium of about 80 per cent. With a comparatively small capital a com might be organized which would ow $ olive trees, factories and other buildings, and produce a pure and excellent quality of the best refined olive oil, which, if judictously managed and widely advertised, would soon establish a popular brand and easily compete with oils from other countries, on account of its quality and the exceedingly cheap cost of production. “Aside from the natural resources of the country, the time is favorable tor a wider introduction of the products of American industry. Lack of capital is not always the principal obstruction to Spanish enter- prise; utter incapacity of management is more frequently the difficulty. I have time and again during my twenty years’ resi- dence succeeded in introducing American manufactures, the superfor workmanship of which was thoroughly recognized and ap- preciated, but which were soon ruined by ignorant handling and misuse. “French capital is already in the field. While Spanish money is cheap and every industry embarrassed through want of prcper management, Frenchmen have re- cently purchased factories and beught up railroads and tramway companies, which they run upon their own account and with their own material, returning handsome profits upon their investments and giving this people a practical example of the en- ergy of other nations. Concessions have been granted to men here who are finan- cially unable to work them, and would be eager to sell if a purchaser could be found. “Opportunities are still abundant to opén mines and start steam and electric rail- Ways, telephone companies and elettric- light plants in various parts of Spain, and these enterprises would be remunerative if managed upon an intelligent basis. “These opportunities should be seized be- fore the country has recovered from its present inertia.” ++ +______ @HE PRESIDENT AT PATERSON. Spent Sunday as the Guest of Vice President Hobart. - President McKinley spent yesterday very quietly at Patérson, N. J. He attended mcrning services at the Church of the Re- deemer in company with Mrs. Hobart. In anticipetion of his attendance the church was well filled, and after the service the President shook the hands of the minister and a large number of members of the con- gregation. Owing to the intense heat of the after- noon the President remained quietly at the home of Vice President Hobart until 5 o'clock, when he went for a drive with Vice President and Mrs. Hobart. As the carriage contain the President and Vice President was driven through Hast Side Park it encountered an immense crowd, essembled there to hear the con- cert of the 2d Regiment Band. The presi- dential party was immediately recognized, the band struck up the President's march, and the crowd made a rush for the side of the drive.

Five minutes before closing he sent for a pig's foot and then he went to Ryan's saloon to get a bottle of beer, but the saloon was closed. Reed came to the saloon, and he, too. found that the saloon was closed. Across the street he saw Liz- zie Logan and Andrew Williams talking. Reed walked across the street and cut her. “I was the first one to reach her,” said witness, “and I said to Joe Hughes, ‘Lizzie Logan has been cut to death like a hog.’ "" He told the jury that Lizzie Logan had kept company With no particular man dur- ing recent years.

Hattie Beverly, a young colored woman, informed the jury that she knew both Liz- zie Logan and William Reed. “Did you ever hear him make threats?” the coroner asked. “Yes, sir,” she answered. “He came to my house Saturday night and asked for Lizzie. I told him she was not there, and he said he was going to kill all three of caer any “Witness said the prisoner’s wife had sent Lizzie word three times that her husband had threatened to kill her. The Policeman's Story. Policeman Cowne told the jury of the ar- rest of the man at his home on Wilson street. The prisoner admitted the killing and said he lost the knife on the street, when he fell just after he used it. Witness produced a knife that had been given him by John Fowler, who had found it on the street. Reed denied that the knife found belonged to him. John Fowler, colored, testified that yes- terday morning he found the knife in ques- on near a tree about four yards from the scene of the killing. There was bloed on the knife when he found it and he rubbed it off when he reached the brick yard. It was about 4:30 o'clock in the morning when he found the knife. Reed Makes Confession. “Reed,” said the coroner, “do you want to make a statement to the jury?” ‘I would like to tell what happened.” “I’m much obliged to you,” said the pris- oner’s counsel, “but we prefer to say noth- ing at this time.” “Yes, I want to tell about it,” said the prisoner after the coroner had advised him that what he said might be used against him. “Well, then,” said the coroner, “tell what you know about it.” “There ain’t much to tell,” said the pris- oner. “I could tell a heap, but I ain’t going to tell it.” He then explained to the jury that Sat- urday night he was at his home on Wil- son street asleep when his wife returned home. He then got up and went to the “Division” because he had been told that Lizzie was there. When he failed to, find her in the “Division” he started for South ‘Washington,and passed the 6th street depot at 11:45 o'clock. He said he reached the saloon a few minutes after it was closed, and when he left there he saw Lizzie and Andrew Williams standing across the street. The man, he said, told him he couldn't see Lizzie. Williams, he said, had a stick in his hand, and he put his hand to his hip pocket as he (Reed) approached. Tells Whet He Did. “What did you do then?” the coroner interrupted. “I just struck her right in here,” was his answer, indicating the place on his own neck, He said when he saw the blood he ran and when he fell he lost his knife. It was a small black handled knife, not the one found by the witness, Fowler. “Had you ilved with Lizzie?” “It's been about three years, ain't it?” asked the prisoner, turning to his wife, who was present, “Now,” said the coroner, “if you have See eee EA, Pee One ae may state Counsel here interposed an objection to a FINANCIAL.
