THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JULY 13, —#———_—M 1897. EAGLE -FLUTTER Big Battle-Ship Oregon About to Be Sent to Hawaii. ONLY A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE. But There Is a Possibility That Japan Will Again Protest. PHILADEILPHIA AND MARION TO BE RELIEVED. Gravity of the Annexation Ques- tlon Suggests Preparations for Emergencles. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 12.—Rec- ognizing the gravity of Japan’s attitude on the Hawaiian annexation question the administration has decided to send the big pattle-ship Oregon to Honolulu to re- lieve the cruiser Philadelphia and the old corvette Marion, both of which need reno- vation. Orders were issued at the Navy Department to-day for the Marion to re- iurn home at once, and instructions will go to Honolulu by steamer, leaving San Francisco on July 17. The Philadelphia isin a very unserviceable condition in consequence of long anchoring in semi- tropical waters, and therefore it is neces- sary to get her back to the United States. The Philadelphia will remain at Hono- luly, however, until the Oregon arrives and perhaps longer. It bad been intended for some time to send the cruiser Baltimore to Hawaii, but the repairs required will take longer than first estimated, and the probabilities are that she will not be ready for sea service { until October. But this unexpected post- ponement of her assignment to the islands | . has served a good purpose in allowing the Navy Department to send the Oregon, one of the most formidable ships in the service, without giving Japan an oppor- tunity for construing the act into a dis- play of unfriendliness on our part. not customary to send battle-ships to foreign ports, and the Oregon has never made s0 long a voyage as that from San Frencisco to Honolulu. Her longest trip from San Francisco was down the coast to Acapulco, Mexico, 1800 miles, and the voysge demonstrated the excellence of her sea-going qualities. W hile Japan cannot consistently object to the disposition of our naval vessels, it has been not an uncommon occurrence in diplomacy for one nation to, construe the presence of a warship or an uuusual dis- play of naval strength by another nation at a port in which both have vital inter- ests as an act to be viewed with concern, and information to that effect bas been frequently conveyed to the Government of the offending country. If Japan should send a like intimation to this Government it would be met by the explanation that the Oregzon is the only vessel available. The Oregon is so far superior to the Japa- | ne<e cruiser Naniwa at Honolulu that comnparison is out of the question. The administration is taking Japan seriously in her stand concerning Ha- waiian annexation. Minister Hoshi's frank statement to Sherman that his Goy- ernment protested against the annexation of Hawaii by the United States becaunse *'the maintenance of the status quo of Ha- waii is essential to the good understand- ing of powers which have interests in the Pacific” has been viewed with more con- cern by than other points of objection, as indi- cating the rumored purpose of Japan to secure some sort of control of the islands. Japan insists that she does not seek to embarrass the United Btates, but the ad- ministration is taking no chances. The intention to send the Jargest available vessel shows that this Government pro- poses to be prepared for emergencies | pending the settlement of the Japanese | claims against Hawaiiand the ratification of the annexation treaty. How willl view the assignment of the Oregon to Hawaiian waters remains to be seen, but it is certain that if other vessels are sent to augment the Naniwa the United States will respond in a vigorous manner that will leave no doubt as to the deter- | mined policy of the United States that other powers must keep their hands off Hawaii. Richards to Command the lert. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 12—1It is It is | the President and his Cabinet | Japan | expected that in a few aays Commander B. 8. Richards, now in the lighthouse in- spection service, will be assign~d to com- mand the Alert on the Pacific station. Commander Symonds, now commanding | the gunboat Pinta, will command the Marietta, the new gunboat, i L At SLAYERS OF GULDENSUPPE. and Mrs. Naock Arraigned in a New York Ccurt for the ! Crime. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 12.—Mrs. Au- | gusta Nack and Martin Thorn, the alleged | murderers of Guldensuppe, were arraigned | in General Sessions to-day to plead to the | indictment found against them. The | prisoners seemed to be fully alive to the | gravity of their situation, and for the first | tme since their arrest the lines of care | were visible on their features. Their at- | torney entered a demurrer to the indict- | ment, contesiing the jurisdiction of the | court, stating that the crime, if there was | one, was done beyond the lines of New | York County. During the statement of | counsel the prisoners exchanged no look | of recognition, nor did they speak to each | other. The demurrer will be urgued on Wednesday, July 21. A bundle of blood-stained clothing found floating in the East River near the terra cotta works at Ravenswood several days ago may have something to do with the case of Willlam Guldensuppe. The bundle was discovered by a workingman employed by the terra cotia company, who turned it over to the Long Island City police. The spot where the bundle was found is three miles from the house in Woodside supposed to have been rented | by Mrs. Nack. 3 The Astoria ferry is only half a mile from the house. The bundle was tied with | strips _of white muslin which might | bave been torn from a woman’s skirt or apron. There was evidence that the gparment, whatever it was, had been flounced. The bundle was wrapped in a New York German newspaper dated June 20, a copy of the Evening Sun dated June 12 and a copy of the Journal dated June 20. Inside were: Sleeve torn from a man’s white madaras shirt, through the texture of which ran thin blue stripes an inch apart; a corset cover, or partofa chemise; a section of a tucked sleeve cut or torn above the elbow from a woman'’s waist; another similar sleeve torn from above the shoulder; a piece of unbleached canton flannel; the lower part of a woman’s undervest; a small piece of a cheap lace curtain, hali a towel, parts of two flannel shirts, half the tail of a cheap, light blue calico shirt, part of one leg of a pair of men’s cheap flannel underdrawers, a piece of musiin with a narrow hem at one end and several pieces of muslin that Jooked like the remains of a sheet. The police kept the finding of the bun- dle a secret until they had achance to discover whether they were being hoaxed or not. All the sarticles found were stained with blood and had evidently been in the water several days. The police cailed in a chemist, who said that the stains were undoubtedly blood, but | might not be human blood. The suggestion was made that the can- ton-flannel strip might be such as a bath- rubber would wear at his work—though Thorn Island. Possibly it was this suggestion, and also the published snggestions that Guldensuppe in fighting for bis life had | bruised Mrs. Nack's arms and very likely torn her clothes, that led the police to | surmise that the bundle nad been | “planted’’ to fit the case. S SR | Conferees’ Deadicck Brcken and a Pre- liminary Report May Be Made i a Few Days. is general disappointment at the Capitol | to-day at the failure of the tariff bill | conferees to reach even a tentative agree- | ment. The Sunday session of the com- mittee adjourned with an understanding | thata basis for agreement could be reached this morning. | Later in the day, however, there was a change in the situation and something | like a deadlock ensued. This, however, | was broken at to-night’s session, and sat- | | | isfactory progress toward a prel/iminary report is being made. The Democratic members may be called into the conference to-morrow, and a report to the two houses may follow on l‘ Wednesday. Although the disputed |items of sugar, Iumber, tobacco, |cotton and wool have not been | reached in the regular considera- | tion of the Senate amendments, they are | questions which are chiefly responsible for the postponing of an agreement. The Senate is uuldinf out for its amendments, and will protably obtain at least a com- promise between the Senate and House rates. 1f the controversy over the sugar sched- ule were settled a report to the Senate and | tions at the close of to-night’s session are that this will be accomplished within a day or two.

The indica- | AGITATION IN CAVALRY RANKS Negro Lijeutenant Not Wanted in a White Regiment. Lively Opposition to a Recent Promotion of a Colored Officer. Hint That Something Might Happen Mysterlously to an Obnoxlous | Black Man. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 12—The officers of the Seventh Regiment of cav- alry are considerably excited over the re- cent promotion of Second Lieutenant Charles Young of the Ninth Cavalry to be first lieutenant and his assignment to their regiment. Lieutenant Young is the only negro graduate of West Point in the army and since leaving the military academy has been serving with the Ninth Cavalry, which is one of the four colored regiments in the army, all of which are, however, | officered by white men. Some time ago Lieutenant Young was detailed to Wilberforce University, Ohio, an institution for the education of colored youth. Since his assignment to duty as military instructor at that place hs has been promoted to a first lieutenantcy and assigned to the Beventh Cavalry, whose headquarters are at Fort Grant, Ariz. This regiment has never had a colored officer on its roster and is earnestly anxious that the Secretary of War shall find some means of transferring Lieuten- ant Young to either the Ninth or Tenth regiments of cavalry before his present term of college duty expires. No white troops have ever been asked to serve unaer a colored officer, and army officers are not anxious to see the experi- | ment tried. They assert that the men would certainly desert in large numbers or that something serious would, in some mysterious manner, happen to the ob- noxious officer. With the colored troops this objection has not been found to apply in the case of the three colored officers who have been assigned since the war. These were Lieutenant Flipper, who was discharged from the army for dishonesty ; | Lieutenant Alexander, who died only re- cently while connected with the Ninth | Cavalry, and who commanded the respect and regard of his fellow-of- | ficers; and Lieutenant Young, who for reasons not stated has made himself ex- tremely obnoxious in the regiment with | which he has been connected. The chances are that Lientenant Young will be reiained for some time to comie at | Wilberforce University and wili then be | transferred to either the Ninth or Tenth | Cavalry, all the privates of which are col- | ored men.

EXIT HURRIEDLY FROM HIS HOME Driven by Masked Men to the Tune of the Rogue’s March. Midnight Treatment of a Clerk Who Lived With Another’s Erring Wife. New Hampshire Whitecaps Sur- round a Dweliing and Hiss, Hoot and Jeer. BOSTON, Mass., July 12.—The town of Milford, N. H., is greatly excited over the work of whitecaps which occurred there last Friday evening. The story was not made public until to-day. For some time the good people of the town have been highly indignant over the actions of Mrs. J. G. Burtt, the wife of a leading photogra- pher, and Azel P. Brigham, a clerk in the employ of Mr. Stevens, a merchant. All sorts of stories have been circulated. It was the general beliel that there was a deal of truth in the allegations, freely made, that Mr. Brigham and Mrs. Burtt were more intimate than they should be. Early last week Mr. Burtt arrived at this same conclusion, and without cere- mony closed the doors of his home on his alleged fuithless wife. The latter sought protection at the hands of her friend Brigham and is said to have lived openly with bim at his home on Amhurst street. This was more than the people could bear. Last Friday evening a crowd of twenty- five men, whose faces were concealed by long white masks, assembled on the lawn in front of Brigham'’s house. From 10to 11 o’clock they Lissed, hooted and jeered the inmates. Finally they grew braver and, gaining entrance through an un- fastened window, dragged Brigham bodily through the window. With a fife and drum playing the regulation ‘‘Rogue’s March” they escorted him to the town lim- its, beyond East Milford, where they left him, very much frightened, but not in- jured beyond a few slight scratches and bruises received in his hurried departure from his home. Brigham returned to town after mid- night ana, seeking Chief of Police Dodge, demanded protection. This was accorded him. He spent the remainder of the night in the officer’s home. He left for parts unknown on Baturday morning. The leading men of the town are seid to have been among the whitecaps. SUDDEN DEATH AND HYSTERICS. Lightning Kills an Officer and Knocks Eleven Others Senseless ot New York's State Encampment. PEEKSKILL, N. Y., July 12.—At the National Guard camp this afternoon a bolt of lightning struck the Y. M. C. A. tent. Corporal Donald, Company A, Twenty-second Regiment, was instantly killew. Eloeven other guardsmen were knocked unconscious. Some of them may not recover. \ The men were sitting in the Y. M. C. A. tent reading and writing. Corporal Don- ald was writing his affianced bride in New York. He intended to be married upon his return at the end of this week. Many of the more nervous of the young soldiers became hysterical and the Statecamp has not seen so much excitement since its in- ception. e SEEMON 10 DEAF MUTES. With Handsome Girls ‘*sing” Their Fingers. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 12.—Rev. Dr. deaf mutes on Sunday afternoon at the One of the features of the service was a’quartet of girls, all mutes, each graceful and handsome, who ‘‘sang’’ three songs with their fingers. The congregation of mutes joined in the cborus with much zest and enthusiasm, as if they had the powersofa bellows and vocal cords mighty enough to make the sounds of a megaphone. The deaf mutes paid the closest attention to the sermon of Dr. Cbamberlain, but to one who did not understand the language of dexterous digits it was an entirely dull and uninteresting affair, with the excep- tion of the time when the quartet of pretty girls sang their songs. —_— Immigration Commissioner at Vancouver FORT 8COTT, Kans, July 12,—William M.

Some Prospect That She May Be Re- lensed From Prison. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 12.—.A dis- patch to the Herald from Washington says: The chances of the release of Mrs. Maybrick from Woking Prison, England, are considered to be more favorable than at any time during her imprisonment. Judge L. D. Yarrell of this ¢ity, counsel for Mrs, Maybrick, recently called on President McKinley, and the President is understood to have heid out much en- couragement for the prisoner. Judge Yarrell says: My audience with the President was a very pleasant one, and was of some length. He appeared deeply interested in the matter, and the documents and letters which [ submitted to him were not given a mere passing glance, as the President considered them carefully. I am fully satisfied he has instructed the proper persons to do all in their power to secure a speedy release. Embassador Hay, as is known, has already presented the petition and papers asking Mrs. May- brick’s freedom, and I firmly believe she will secure it. *Undoubtedly the greatest difficulty experienced In getting this unfortunate woman released is the seeming indiffer- ence on the part of the people of America. They don’t seem to care anything for her. They don’t seem to care how long she re- mains in prison.” —_—— SUCCUMB> 10 THE HEAT, ¥. N. Lothrop, Ex-Minister to Russia, Dies at Détroit.

SECRET REPORT PASSES THE FRONTIER. Clandestine Butcheries and Outrages Perpetrated by the Turks. CATS HURLED ON THE BOSOMS OF WOMEN. Wives and Daughters Held .In Chalns and Branded With Red~ Hot Irons. PARIS, Fraxce, July 12.—Pere Char- menant, director-general of the French mission iz the Levant, has received a re- port prepared by a number of Armanian notables and Grecian Bishops on the situ- ation in Armenia. It took the messenger who had the doc- ument in charge nearly three months to get through the difficulties and dangers along the Turkish frontier, which was carefully guarded against all Armeniars or Armenian sympathizers. The report, which fills thirty printed pages, goes fully into the sitnation. Ac- cording to its authors the Turks in Ar- menia, fearing European intervention, have abandoned the old practicesof whole- sale massacre, but during the last year there have been clandestine butcheries and most terrible persecutions, especially in the more remote provinces. The Turk: ish troops boast that they have sworn fa wipe out the whole Armenian race. The document recites in detail the vari- ous forms of persecution. It appears that the tax collectors seize the inhabitants if they do not pay everything demanded. Women are taken through the streety with chains around their necks and kept for days without food, In some cases they are fastened to pillars, head down- ward. Freezing water is thrown over them or they are beaten until t blood runs. In other cases their hands are tied behind their backs and then cats, first made furious, are thrown upon their bosoms. They burn various parts of their bodies with redhot irons. ““All the highways are guarded so as to prevent emigration. Not a single aay passes without hearing of or witnessing somewhere within our unfortunate prov- inces some act of fiendish cruelty. The Turks and Kurds enter the houses of Ars menians in gangs, bind the men and then assault their wives, sisters and daughiers before their eyes.”” The document concludes with the de- - airing cr; “Our hope is dying aut: (:o('i. help us. May Europe have pity upon us. REBELS LOOT A TOWN, British Treasury Kobbed and Officers Imprisoned and Killed.
