ON THE SHERIDAN! THIRTEENTH MINNESOTA WILL SOON SET SAIL. Now Preparing for Their Trip Home and Will Start as Soon as the Sheridan Is Unloaded and Coaled for the Return Voyage—Informa- tion Comes From Gen. Otis—North Dakota Regiment Will Sail in Four Days—A Battle in Cuba in Which Some Bandits Are De- feated. Washington, July 28. — Three cable messages from Gen. Otis were received at the war department yesterday. One of them is the long-looked-for dispatch regarding the sailing of the North Da- kota and Minnesota troops. It is as follows: “Storm has abated. Sherman coaled and leaves to-day with all troops of California; Grant being coaled; leaves in about four days with troops of North Dakota, Wyoming and Idaho. Minnesotans preparing to leave on Sheridan soon as transport can be un- loaded and coaled. Other volunteer organizatio: leave as soon as trals- ports are available.” . Otis has been cabled to send the volunteers home as rapidly as pos- sible, it being the desire of the presi- dent to have no delay in the matter. The second dispatch reports another engagement with bandits in Cebu, where tne American forces were vic- torious. It is as follows: “Following from Cebu to-day: Ban- dits in Cebu mountains robbing and impressing people of coast towns. On Monday Lieut. Moore, with detach- ment of Twenty-third infantry, while scouting in the mountains, was fired upon from strongly fortified position; one private killed, name not given. No other casualties. Enemy’s loss, five cndits killed, seven captured.” Another refers to the organization of the volunteer regiments in the Phil- ippines as follows: “Bell has enlisted about 500 men. Wallace, still south, has about 400. Lockett, now enlisting, has over 400 applications, which are coming in rap- idly. Might raise here an additional ment, exclusively volunteers.” Sell, referred to in the dispatch, is in command of the 'Thirty-sixth in- and Col. Wallace of the Thir- ty-seventh. Col. Lockett is in command of the ry regiment which is to ber 2d in the Philippines. WELCOME FOR ALL. San Franciseo Will Do the Hand- some Thing by the diers. San ncisco, July 28. — The next vessel due from the Philippines is th hospital ship Relief, which is expectet at any time. The camp at the Pre- sidio for the reception of the Nebraska regiment, soon to arrive on the Han- cock, is ready. The tents are up and the store e in and only the presence of the boys is needed for the camp to become a lively military city. The whole military department will unite in honoring the Nebraskans as the Oregonians were honored. All the troops here will parade and Maj. Gen. Shafter will review them. The Ore- gcnian regiment will participate in the demonstration. This reception will only be the first of a series, for the ayor and city council have decided all ve: Is hereafter bringing should be met down the bay en a royal welcome. The Penn- sylvania volunteers are due July 29, and they will be greeted the same as r troops from Manila, though no preparations have yet been the Pennsylvanians residing sity. Gen. Shafter, acting on the adv of Gen, Otis, has decided that no more women and children shall be allowed to go to Manila. Returning Sol- INVASION OF "HOPPERS It Threatened in Minnesota and North Dakota. Washington, July 28. — The agricul- nl department in receipt of in- formation of a threatened invasion of grasshoppers in Minnesota and North D ta. These are of a migratory species and breed in the Turtle moun- tains.

He is in prime condition for his contest with Charlie Mitchell and Jim Smith, which is to take place abroad within a fort- night. Jeffries will return here about Sept. 15, when he will go into training for his fight with Sharkey. Rioters Are Vicious. Berlin, July 28.—At the poorhouse at Schrimm, in the province of Posen, on Friday last nearly feur hundred in- mates, most of thein Poles, attacked the attendants and overseers with knives and clubs. The police were summoned and were attacked by the rioters and obliged to use their weapons in self-defense. Sev- eral of the rioters were severely wounded, but finally the ringleaders were arrested and order was restored. Smothered in a Bran Bin.

London, July 28. — The Lima cor- respondent of the Times telegraphs | that the revolution at Iquitos has been | quelled and the government has or- dered the reopening of the port. SAMOANS UNEASY. Attitude of the Natives is Far From Rezssuring. San Francisco, July 30.—Chief Jus- tice W. L. Chambers of Samoa arrived here yesterday on the steamer Moana, accompanied by his family. He is on a four-months’ leave of absence, but says that his business in the United States is of such a nature that he will probably not return to Apia. In an interview the chief justice said: “All is now quiet in Samoa, but I cannot answer for the future. Both Mataafa and Malieioa affect to be sat- istied with the present arrangement, which abolishes the office of kiig and vests the responsibility of government in the hands of the three consuls of the powers. I feel sure Malietoa is sincere in this. Though fairly elected, and after election accepting the king- ship, he never had ambitions in that direction. As soon as the commission arrived he proposed to resign, a spirit which later proved to be in accordance with the plans of the commissioners, and I have every reason to believe that he will live up to his bargain. Mataafa is ambitious. For many years he has thirsted for power, and will not be so easily satisfied. At the same time, he is a man of exceptional ability, is shrewd, and I have never thought the interests of the natives would suffer in his hands. Yes, my de- cision has been sustained by the com- mission, and it has published the fact ina proclamation. With respect to the future I can say little.” Samoan advices, under date of July 14, were received by the steamer Mo- ana, as follows: “The situation in Samoa is one of great uneasiness. The attitude of the natives is far from reassuring. Sev- eral fights have occurred in different portions of the islands between sup- porters of the rivals for the kingship, and several natives have been killed. Nothing much seems to have been ac- complished by the high commission since arms to the number of 400 were surrendered by the contending fac- tions. Chief Justice Chambers, being dissatified with the support extended to his court by the commissioners, will leave to-day for Washington. Their action in refusing aid asked for to sustain the court’s authority is said to have been prompted by dispatches received by the German commissioner from his home government, whica, it is claimed, is greatly displeased with his recognition of the decision of the supreme court in the kingship. The commissioners have been well received on the islands they have visited.” Is IN A TURMOIL. U. 8S. Warships Are Ordered to San Domingo. Washington, July 30. — Secretary has issued orders detaching the + New Orleans from the North ntic squadron at Newport and di- recting her to proceed at once to San Tomingo. Orders were issued also to the Machias, now at St. Thomas, to piceved to the same point via San sven, These orders were made at the e of the state department as a utionary measure owing to the -uuirbed conditions following the as- nation of President Heureux of Domingo. Neither the state nor departments has received any cs of an alarming character, but « * to the large American interests cn the island it was deemed advisable take every precaution. It is under- (that American capitalists have “d into an arrangement wita the Domiuican authorities by which prac- tically the entire machinery of the is- land administration is under their di- rection. ‘The New Orleans is expected to sail from Newport this evening. The sail to San Domingo City is about five days. The Machias is only a day’s sail from that point, but she will go to San Juan to carry back Capt. Snow, the naval commandant of that por. ente REVOLUTIONARY TALK. No End of Trouble Fenred for San Domingans. Cape Haitien, July 30.—The funeral of President Heureaux of San Domin- go tcok place at 5 o’clock last evening in Santiago de las Caballeros. The population was panic stricken, but there was no disorder. A report has been received here to the effect that the adversaries of the government at- tacked Moca last night. The news of the death of the president was hardly. credited here by the people generally until last evening, when undoubted coufirmation was received. Then there was great rejoicing among the Domin- ican exiles, many of whom live in and around Cape Haitien. These exiles, whe were driven out of their country by Heureaux, are now preparing to arm themselves and enter San Domin- go, where they expect their chief, Don Juan Isidor Jiminez, to join them. The Dominican government is making preparations on a large scale to main- tain itself. New York, July 30.—Gen. Abelarde A. Moscoso, an exiled leader of the Liberal party of San Domingo, now living in New York, said last night: “The death of President Heureaux will, I think, surely be followed by a long state of disorder and revolution. I want to emphasize this prophecy— that the United States will eventually be compelled to interfere to establish peace in the island, just as she did in Cuba. I favor the policy of peace. I shall be glad to return to my country and support such a policy if it is in- augurated by Gen. Figuera, the vice president, who succeeds to the head of the government. But if something is not quickly done to establish order and peace, more revolutionary expedi- tions will follow that of Gen. Jimenez and Gen. Horales, who led a band from Cuba against Heureaux.” Convalescents at the Presidio. San Francisco, July 30.—All the eon. valescent volunteers at the general military hospital will. be held there until the regiments are mustered out. Among the 760 patients there are only three cases of typhoid fever. Will Start Next Tuesday. London, July 30.—The departure of the Shamrock for New York has been definitely fixed for Tuesday. Capt. Archie Hogarth will sail her. The strengthening of the hull has been completed. Se SS a rc een ea n DIED FOR THEIR COUNTRY. Fatalities in the American Army in the Philippines. Seattle, Wash., July 30.—The Times prints what purports to be a full list of fatalities in the American army in the Philippines up to June 2. The list was furnished by Fred F. Bitell, a rep- resentative of the Manila Freedom. who claims to~nave obtained it from the surgeon general’s office at Manila. ‘The total number of fatalities is T36— 23 officers, 699 p9rivates and 14 civil- jans attached to the army. A remark- able feature of the record is found in the statement that the number of offi- cers killed in battle is out of all pro- portion to the number of privates killed. On-the other hand, fewer ofli- cers died from disease proportionately than privates. Out of the 23 officers dead, 16 were killed in battle, 2 were drowned and 5 died of disease, as fol- lows: Typhoid 1, meningitis 2, rheu- matism of the heart 1, paralysis 1. Of the 699 privates, 294 died of wounds received in action, 91 were killed accidentally, 23 were drowned and 7 committed suicide; 106 died of typhoid fever, 89 of smallpox, 47 of dysentery, 280f pneumonia, 19 of ma- larial fever and 14 of meningitis. The remaining 17 died from various dis- eases. Of the 14 deaths among civilians, 7 were from smallpox and 3 from gun- shot wounds received in action. ‘TEN MORE REGIMENTS." Additional Volunteers for the Army to Be Promptly Enlisted. Washington, July 30. —It has been decided by the new secretary of war, Euuu Root, that ten additional regi- ments of volunteers will be enlisted immediately after the ten regiments now forming hay ebeen recruited. This decision was reached just be- fore President McKinley left Wash- ington. A vigorous and active campaign is being,planned for the Philippines, and the war department officials are Dow busy in making the detailed arrange- ments for organizing the additional regiments. It is learned here that ef- forts are being made to have one regi- ment recruited from the Northwest, with headquarters or rendezvous at Fort Snelling. Gen. Corbin has not dealt fair with Minnesota and the Northwest in designating the points of mustering in the new regiments. It is further learned that officials of the department of Dakota have been advised of this latest move of the war department to raise additional volun- teers. THEY WILL COME HOME. Sick Men Will Be Discharged When Cured. San Prancisco, July 30. — The sick and wounded Minnesota soldiers will not haye to stay in San Francisco until the regiment arrievs, but will be al- lowed to go home as soon as they are well enough to travel. Gen. Shafter furnished the following dictated state- ment: “The sick men whose regiments are not here, including the Minnesota troops and all who arrived recently on the hospital ships, will be discharged as soon as they are able to travel, on surgeons’ certificates. No man will be permitted to leave the hospital until he is. quite recovered. ‘They will be paid off and allowed to go home as soon as they wish and are able without regard to the arrival of their regiments. Those who are unable to go home when their regiments are mustered out will be kept at the hospital until they are well. —‘William R.

The City of Cleveland Is Beginning to Resume Its Old Time Appear- ance—Street Cars Are Well Pa- tronized and It Loos as if the Men Would Lose Their Fight— The Mayor and Adjt. Gen. Axline Disagree Regarding the Duty of the National Guard —The Mayor Has the Situation Well in Hand. Cleveland, Ohio, July 30. — Slowly and surely law and order are triumph- ing over lawlessness and disorder and the city is beginning to resume its old time appearance. Yesterday the street cars were well patronized, especially during the busy hours of the morning and evening. This is said to be the best indication that the company is winning in the struggle. Mayor Far- ley is well pleased with the situation, but he has not relaxed the vigilance one whit, and will not until the last vestige of disorder is wiped away. The mayor and Adjt. Gen. Axline are at present involved in a controversy over what the troops shall do and what they shall not do. The adjutant gen- eral is of the opinion that the duty of the national guard is merely to put down rioting and not to do police duty. Whatever the duty of the national guard may be, Mayor Farley holds that the troops are here under his au- thority and that they will remain here until he feels that they can be dis- pensed with. . The responsibility of preserving the order of the city rests upon the shoulders of the mayor, he says, and he proposes to see that his plans are not interfered with by any one. He declares that he is to be the judge as to when troops are not want- ed. There have been seyeral outbreaks between Mayor Farley and Adjt. Gen. Axline within the last few days over this question. Rumors to the effect that the city council will endeavor to reconsider the resolution of Tuesday night reached the ears of the mayor and he did not like them. The mayor feels that he has the situation well in hand, and he fears that any action of the council whatever will be temporiz- ing with the lawless element of the city and will cause agitation which will simply prolong the trouble. After the breaches have been healed and quiet has been absolutely restored the mayor would not object to any kind of an investigation upon the part of the council, but he deems that the mem- bers are treading on extremely danger- ous ground when they undertake to re- open the discussion. It is said that any such resolution as was proposed the other night can be adopee with a full council meeting and efforts are to be made to havé every one present on Monday night. Perhaps a new propo- sition will be submitted asking the council to. investigate not only the cause of the disturbances, but also the causes leading to the violation of the agreement entered into by the com- pany and its employes at the end of the first strike. The mayor takes but little interest in the talk of boycotting merchants. He believes that just as soon as quiet is restored and the fever is all gone such talk will cease. A boycoté, he feels, is against natural iaws; that a man will ndt pay 6 cents for an article that can be purchased for 5, and a man will not walk a mile to make a purchase when he can get what he wants at a quarter of a mile. It is said at the city hall that there are quite a number of the recent employes of the street railway company who would go back to work if permitted, but that they are hindered by threats from some of the more ra em- ployes and leaders of the strike. CHICAGO'S BIG STRIKE. Ten Thousand Men Are in Idle- ness. Chicago, July 30.—Ten thousand men were thrown out of employment when work was stopped on two hundred buildings in the course of erection in Chicago during the second day of the strike of the union brickmakers of Cook county. ‘The tie-ups came first on the smaller jobs where the contractors had not taken the precaution to in- crease the supply of brick in anticipa- tion of the strike. The bricklayers and hodcarrieérs were forced to quit for want of material, and following them the carpenters were forced to lay down their tools. An effort will be made for an ami- cable adjustment of the controversy between the strikers and the North side manufacturers at a conference which has been called by the Chicago Masons and Builders’ association. PORTO RICO FRANCHISES. Adverse Decisions Are Given by the Attorney General. “Washington, July 30.—The attorney general has rendered opinions in three cases involving questions of franchises and concessions in Porto Rico. In the ease of Vicente and Joseph Usera, the attorney general holds that they do not hold a complete and lawful concession to build a tramway from Ponce to Port Ponce, and that the secretary of war has no right to confirm such conces- sions. The attorney general also holds adversely on the application of Ramon Valdez y Cobian, for a concession of the right to use the water power of the River Plata, in Porto Rico. In the case of Frederick W. Weeks, for per- mission to construct a Wharf and pier at Ponce, the attorney general holds that to grant the petition is beyond the power of the secretary of war. Advance in Coal. New York, July 30.—The anthracite companies announce that all orders for coal at prices prior to July 1, not filled on July 31, will be cancelled, and the advance of 25 per cent per ton will then go into effect. ‘ Four Bad Negroes Hanged.

Fergus Falls, Minn., July 28.—The condition of the crops in Otter Tail county continues favorable. Until Sat- urday there had been no setbacks. That day was very hot and ripened the wheat too fast on the hills, where the soil was light, but the damage is thought to be very light. The weather has now turned cool and is ideal wheat weather. There has been a little hail, but the damage is slight. Barley is being cut and wheat will be ready by Aug. 1 in many places, though cutting wil not be general until the latter part of next week. There is every prospect now for an excellent crop in Otter Tail. Corn has fairly jumped the past ten days, and though the spring and sum- mer have been cool it ts going to land a safe winner. Alexandria, Minn., July 28.—The hot winds during the past week have dam- aged grain in this vicinity fully 10 per cent. Wheat stands from three to five feet high and with extra large heads, and the rains of Sunday and Tuesday caused it to be very badly lodged. Harvest will begin a week later than usual, Winnebago City, Minn., July 28. — The weather this week is very favor- able for growing crops. Although theré is considerable rust on wheat and oats it looks as though Faribault county will sustain its reputation for never having had a crop failure. Corn can fairly be seen growing and the yield of hay will be immense. The barley har- vest is about over. Verndale, Minn., July 28.—Hail de- stroyed several thousand acres of grain in Wadena and Todd counties. The storm was a mile and a half wide, ranging from northwest to southeast. CARELESS SMOKER.

Ba In Trouble With Its Debt.—Talk of an American Protectorate. Port au Prince, “Haiti, Special.— There was another meeting of the creditors of the government to con- sider propositions made to them last Tuesday for the consolidation of the interior debt. The creditors will prob- ably accept certain of the govern- ment’s propositions, but will refuse others. The meeting broke up with-~ out any definite decision having been reached. The ent will now make new propositions to the eredit- ors. Kingston, Jam., Special—Private ad- vices received by mail from Haiti state that at the conference between the Haitian minister of finance and the creditors of the nation on Tuesday, the latter refused to accept the proposals for consolidation of the interior debt because they had despaired of accom- plishing a permanent basis of financial prosperity under present conditions. It is added that the creditors have de- ‘termined to agitate for an American rotectorate, to which end they are iwilling to drive the country into hope- less bankruptcy and invite the neces- sary American capital to extricate the country from its embarrassments. THEIR CBOSEN FIELD. Burglars Make Another Good Haul at Osakis. Osakis, Minn., Special.—This city is being worked by a gang of profession- al robbers, evidently drawn here by the report of the big haul made at Bowman’s by local talent. The second burglary in one week was perpetrated last night, when the residence of EB. M. Fairfield was entered. Over $100 in currency was taken from his vest hanging in his sleeping room, together. with wheat checks aggregating $279, which were later found across the street. The robbers appear to be ac- quajnted with the surroundings and take nothing but cash. Sugar Planters Worried. Honolulu Special, via San Francis- co, July 30.—Sugar planters and gov- ernment officials are worried over the discussion of the Hawaiian contract labor system now going on in the United States. They deny that the laborers are treated as slaves, and while admitting that the contract sys- tem will eventually have to be abol- ished, insist that under present con- ditions they have no other recourse. The transports Connemaugh and City of Para have arrived here on their way to Manila. a SEAS CRE ETE NEW GLACIERS. Some Discoveries in Alaska by a Party of Scientists. Tacoma, Special—The party of sci- entists who went to Alaska a month ago as guests of E. H. Harriman of New York are meeting with unquali- fied success. They made several im- portant discoveries. Among these is an immense bay extending inland over twenty miles. At the upper end of the bay they have discovered a great glacier, inferior only to Muir glacier in size. The bay was named Unknown bay. Four other pew gla-, ciers which have never before been seen by white men were found at the head of Disenchantment bay. In Icy, bay, opposité Carroll's glacier, an im- mense glacier three quarters of a mile in width was discovered and named Harriman’s glacier. In the bay where the Grand Pacific glacier is located, ob- servations were taken which show that its ice wall has receded three miles since Muir and Reed visited the local- ity and established their survey twen- ty years ago.
