They were jcined at the dep: |ment by Representative Loudenslager of New Jersey and Representative Wanger of Pennsylvania. They were received by the Secretery of War ‘n the War Department receptic room, ana M He act- ing as spokesman, presented the request of the commmi for the a nment of troeps to pi in the jubilee celebr + The Interview With the Secretary. Secretary Alger the committee with great cordiality, expressing his inter- n the jubilee Mayor Warwick first presented the Se | retary with a formal invitation to partici- pate in the celebration, and the Secretary id it was his desire and his intention to received the orders should be executed. The matter of transportation of troops being an im- nt consideration, Mr. Clay assured ecretary of the willi of the city of Philadelphia to do eve in this particular. The Secretary ment would have to cc the expenditures by the government for j transportation would be admissable, but that it was his opinion that the pres- rything nece: replied that the depart- nsider just how far ence of the President at the celebration made it an occasion of truly national character, and that it would be proper that a very considerable body of soldiers should be ordered there at government expense in attendance upon the President. This was a matter, however, to onsidered, and with the assuranc nia will do that the city of Phila- whatever the government id not in the way of transportation, he suid that the troops asked for would be ordered to Philadelpnia. Tr retary, as quests wel of him, answered them categorically, in the gffirmative, exce that to the at- tendance of Gens. 5 Wheeler and Lee, with respect to which he signified an indefinite jescence, and h respect to the of the colored troops designat said the colored troo) would be represented at he hoped to be able to order the particular troops that were asked for by the committee.

The Secretary would be granted. The commi requested also a battery of United States artillery, a squadron of vater in a charge, under fire from said that this request United States cavalry, the 6th preferred, two companies having been recr at Philadelphia; an assignment of colored troops from the 4 1th Colored Cav- alry, and the 24th and 25th Colored Reg- ular Infantry. The Secretary said that he would cornply with this request, sending the particular colored troops asked for, if Lossible. Noted Commanders Wanted. ‘The committee also asked consent for the attendance of Gens. Shafter, Whzeler, Lee, Graham, Sumner, Young and McKibben, and such other heroes of the war as could be prevailed upon to ‘cept. The Secretary made a general acqut>sc- ence to this, but did not answer definitely that Shafter, Lee and Wheeler could be present. In response to the request that the 2d Army Corps at Camp Meade should be ordered to participate in the jubflee, with all the Pennsylvania troops and battalions from the regiments from each of the four- teen states repr2sented there, responded premptly that the order would be issued, and that the matter of transportation, that is, whether the government should pay all or part, would be determined on later, it d understood that if the government could not arrange it, Philadelphia would. ‘The committee, in view of the fact that a number of the volunteer troops would be without arms, possibly on account of be- ing mustered out before that time, asked for the loan of riflzs and other accoutre- ments. This the Secretary promptly agreed He also consented for the troops to participate, and in respon request that the 16th Pennsylvan! to. has just returned from Porto Rico,’ s be rendezvoused at Camp Meade, So as to be convenient to participate in the cele tion, the Secretary suggested that it would be better possibly for the 16th to rendez- vous near Philadelphia Instead of going to Camp Meade, and on being assured that a | pl would be provided for their camp near Philadelphia, he said that he would or em ther The committee also asked for authority for the city troop and Battery A of Ph delphia to participate, and this the Secre tary granted. The ‘Secretary expressed gratification that General Miles had con- sented to act as chief marshal.

Secretary Alger will recommend to Con- gress that the railway m in Cuba be extended so as to form a line running di- rectly from Cape Maysi, at the east end of the island, to Cape Antonio, on the west- ern extremity. He wiil also recommend that this work be directly undertaken hy the United States government, and that Congress appropriate the necessary funds. The Secretary expects to serve a double purpos by the construction of this road. In the first place, it is a military necessity. The existing railroad system in Cuba is extremely crude. It is not possible to get troops within three cr four hundred miles of Santiago by rail from Havana, wh whole of the province of Santiago e: ward is without-means of communication. state of The on the western tremity is as bad. If the United States is to maintain garrisons on the and for any length ef time it wil! be necessary to cpen communication with them. Secretary Alger believeg that can only be done effectively by rail Another and no less important service to be served by the construction of the road would be to restore prosperity to the island and thus retain their te Then, the road progresses, sections of the country would be opened up that a: row in: ssible to trade.

See Alger has instructed the com- mission which is now ir aded by Col. Hecker, to locate camp s for the American garrisons, to make an ex: - tion of the country with particular refer- ence to this proposed railway extension. This data will be furnished by the board when it returns to the United States. It is believed. frem the information in hand, that by following the plateau in the middle of Cuba, the cost can he,kept at moderate figures. and no doubt is entertaine the United State government speedily able to reimburse Itself for what- ever money it might spend on the road. <= a ) (Continued from Third Pag> ington Co., 107 Duane street. 1 Pa; ‘On the 28th of March, 1 the then archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Dumner, in- vited the bishop of Vermont, as he did all the American bishops, to take part in celebrating the third jubilee of the ven- erable Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. In his answer to that invitation my father suggested—and as far as I know was the first to such a meeting of bishops of the communion as was held in 1867 beth.

Two prisoners convicted in Criminal Court No. 1 were today sentenced to the Ohio penitentiary by Chief Justice Bing- ham. John Thomas, alias John St. Clair, found guilty of assaulting William Boulden, with intent to kill, June 11 last, was given five years at hard labor. Charles, alias John, Dunkins, who stole a satchel con- taining 45 cents from Annie D. Goss, was sente=ced to a term of three years. Justice Bradley, in Criminal Court No. 2, imposed a number of sentences on con- vieted criminals, the place of imprisonment being the Ohio penitentiary, as follows: Nathaniel Arnold, who stabbed Edith Park- er in the back and made his escape to At- lantie City, where he was captured by De- tective Lacy, and who was convicted sev- eral days ago, Was sentenced to eight years at hard labor. Thomas Brown and William Young, alias John Young, were each given two years for a second offense of petit larceny. Ed- ward Smith, alias Buddy Smith, was also sentenced to two years, while Henry Mack, found guilty of larceny from the person, will serve one year and a Yay. Albert Jones, accused of false pretenses, was ordered acquitted by the court, as the case was not fully made out against him.
