CHICAGO, Oct. 10.—The annual Chi- cago day celebration of the Hamilton Club was held to-day in the Auditorium Theater. Chauncey M. Depew, as guest of the club, was the principal speaker and the great hall was packed to suf- focation long before the hour set for his appearance. Just previous to the introduction by President Cody of Judge Peter S. Grosscup, who spoke briefly, battle songs and national an- thems were given by a chorus of 200 voices, assisted by the United States Marine Band and the Auditorfum or- gan. At the conclusion of Judge Gross- cup’s speech Mr. Depew was introduced amid wild applause. He spoke in part as follows: “For over fifty years American statesmen have grappled with, but failed to solve, the problems of Cuba, Hawaii and a canal through the Nica- raguan isthmus.

GLASGOW, Oct. 10.—John Dillon, anti- Parncllite member of Parliament for East Mayo, at a bauquet given here this evening in his honor, made a practical bid for the reunlon of the sections of the Irish party.

The irreconcilable division atic Cabinets made action on the part of our Government either for the acquisition of Hawaii or for peace and humanity in Cuba absolutely im- possible. The responsibility of govern- ing these countries and the Philippines is great, but the policy of governing them by recognizing the manhood of their peoples has never been tried. The habitants of these islands will re- spond to the effort of a great, generous and free people to teach and help them to govern themselve: In the meantime their increasing productiveness and the varying industries which will be intro- duced make these distant possessions self-sustaining and sources of revenue. Not only that, but they will be the growing markets for our goods. Every one who is familiar with the Paelfic coast appreciates the limitations which are placed upon its opportunities. “The mountains of Oregon and Washington are full of cl and iron, but they cannot compete with the coal and iron east of the Rocky Mountains. California raises 20,000,000 bushels of wheat a year, but its market is too dis- tant for profit. We become masters of the Philippines and have the harber for our men-of-war, and our merchant ves- tance of .China at the moment when that old endgire is crumbling to pieces. “The open market of Japan and the opening of China will absorb not only all the wheat now grown upon the Pa- cific Coast, but all it can possibly pro- duce. Its markets will be so great for our steel rails, our machinery and elec- trical appliances and our agricultural implements that, with a merchant ma- rine on the Pacific, Oregon, Washing- ton and California will in a few years be among the richest and most produc- tive States of the Union. “There is in the trade the opening of a new field for labor and new oppor- tunities for eapital. The congestion of our market will be revived, causes of panics will be lessened, the farmers of the West and the Middle West and of the Northwest will find themselves bet- ter able to compete in the markets of Europe, with Argentina, Russia, Egypt and India. The wheat of the { Pactfic Coast will go to the Orient in- stead of Liverpool. Civilization and Christianity and orderly liberty follaw ing the flag will bestow inestimable benefits upon distant semi-barbarous and alien races. There will be to our own peaple reciprocal benefits which come from a thousand millions instead of seventy millions of people wanting the products of our soil, the results of our agriculture, the output of our mines and the surplus of our mills, cur factories and our furnaces.” CUPID TOILED WHILE THE BATTLE RAGED Belgian Nobleman to Wed a Red Cross Nurse Whom He Met Before Santiago. CHICAGO, Oct. 10.—A romance that had its origin in the bloody battlefield of Santiago will have a happy finale to-mor- row, when General Albert Van Shelle, a Belgian nobleman, and Miss Anne M. Fowler are united in marriage. General Van Shelle, who is Delegate General of the Red Cross Society on the staff of his Majesty Leopold II, is a man of mugh distinctlon in his own_country. Miss Fowler is the datghter of Dr. E. B. Fowler of Springfield, Il After the war broke out Miss Fowler offered to go to Cuba as nurse under the auspices of the Red Cross Soclety. She was accepted, and, upon arriving at San- tiago during the battie, she began at once to minister to the sufferings of the wounded. It was in this capacity she met the Belglan nobleman. X The groom is only 44 years old, but al- ready he has atfained honors which many an older man would envy. He is a sels University and has been decorated with the iron cross by the German Em- eror for duty in war. Besides being a Enight of the Legion of Homor after Ses dan, he is a knight of the King Leopoid Order, for services to national trade and industry.

He was discovered at | Sausalito and brought back by armed | guards. He was then placed in the | guard house and papers were sent to Washington preparatory to a court martial. He was charged with deser- tion, and his court martial was to have | taken place to-day at the Presidio. | At about 2 o’clock Saturday morning Downs slipped from under the back | of hi$ tent and made his way over !he} hills to Sausalito, and not until the corporal of the guard made his early round was his absence detected. As| soon as Captain Hay was apprised of the escape he gave orders and soon the camp was in an uproar. Armed squads were sent to search the hills, while guards were stationed at the ferries in San Francisco, Tiburon and Sausalito. The search was futile. Downs remains | at large. There seems to be a big story behind the escape of this man which the offi- | cers are trying .to conceal, Lieutenant Hughey was reluctant to speak of the matter to-night and would not give the escape’s name. From certain of the | privates it was learned that the men are poorly fed, and all of them are sorry that they enlisted. Downs, like the rest of them, came from San Fran- cisco. About two jveeks agc a large | batch of beef sent to the men was so tainted that it had to be thrown into the bay Several of the privates feel S0 bitter on account of their treatment that they assert that they would not tell where Downs is even if they knew. INVESTIGATION OF THE WAR SCANDALS Three Witnesses Before the Commis- sion Tell of Conditions in Hos- pitals and Camps. WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.—The War In- vestigation Commission had three wit- nesses before it to-day. Captain Culver of Grigsby's Rough Riders, Dr. Hysell, chief surgeon of the Second Division, lo- cated at Camp Thomas, and Major Gal- lagher, who was in charge of various commissary depots in the Santlago cam- palgn. Dr. Hysell's testimony dealt with the. sanitary and hospital conditions at | Camp Thomas. He said that there was less typhold fever in the troops of the | Second Division than in the other divis- ions, and stated that upon his advice, this division had secured its water from, outside springs instead of from the Chickamauga River,as he conside.ed the river water liable to be impure. Major Gallagher detalled the process of supplying rations to the troops in tho field, “He said that at one time there was a deficiency In coffec and sugar for two days, and expressed the opinion that this shortage would have proven serious if it had continued for any length of time, He said the supply of lighters was not suffi- cient to permit of the accumulation of a‘ny considerable quantity of food at one time. e WAS IN THE NAVY FOR FORTY YEARS Death of Rear Admiral John Carson Febiger at the Age of Seventy-Eight.

LYNCHING THREATENED IN A WASHINGTON TOWN Citizens May Avenge the Shooting of an Everett Merchant by an Editor, SEATTLE, Oct. 10.—Feeling runs high to-night at the neighboring city of Everett over a probably fatal shooting affray. John McConnella, editor of the News, shot O. L. Nelson,a fuel merchant, in the Tight side of the lower part of the stomach. The wounded men Is at the point of *death. McConnella was placed under arrest late to-night and a strong guard surrounds the Jail. Numerous threats of lynching are heard. It is feared that an attempt to wreak vengeance on McConnella may be made before morn- ng. The editor is a vindictive writer and about two weeks ago published an article in which Nelson was referred to as a fool and a knave. The victim of this alleged slanderous attack expressed his opinion of the writer in equally forcible terms. This evening both men met in a personal encounter and McConnela made three at- tempts to strike Nelson. The latter is large man, and, after pushing his assail- ant away, finally threw him down. Me- Connella then drew a revolver and fired a shot that will likely prove fatal. —— DEAFNESS AND RHEUMATISM. Not Disregarded by the Commis- sioner of Pensions. WASHINGTON, ' Oct. 10.—There has been wide circulation given to the story originating at the recent annual encamp- ment of the G. A. R. at Cincinnatl that ‘“‘the Commissioner of Pensions had called his chiefs together and instructed them to disregard totally every application based on deafness-and rheumatism in the adjudication of claims for pensions.” The Commissioner has authorized a statement that no such instructions were glven; that there has probably not been a slkxggle working day passed since April 1, 1887, that there has not been certifi- cates issugd for both deafness and rheu- matism, and that there has been no change in the laws, therefore no change in the practice during the present admin- istration.

TAFFY 'FOR UNCLE SAM PEACE COMMISSIONERS AND THE PEILIPPINE QUESTION. Meanwhile the Deons Are Carrying Out the Agreement to Evacuate -Cuba and Porto Rico. ’ Special Dispatch to The Call. PARIS, Oct. 10.—It is believed the questions now being discussed by the |'Peace Commission relate to Cuba and the adjustment of the debt of that island. 2 The Paris newspapers show evidence of anxiety in behalf of the Spanish cause. The Matin, on Sunday, alleged that an understanding regarding Cuba' and Porto Rico was possible, as the United States claims everything and Spain re- fuses nothing; but the difficulty arises on the question of the Philippine Is- lands. The Matin closed its remarks on the subject by expressing the belief that “we shall .see the republic, which has just shown herself to be so brave and strong, show herself also generous.” As the joint commissions have not yet considered the Philippine question the Paris papers appear to Americans as making the statement that the Phil- ippines are under consideration in order to be in a position to abjure the Ameri- | can commission to treat Spain gener- ously. The Gaulols this morning reviews the political situatfon and declares its con- clusions that “between the alleged re- ported purpose. of expansion and the Democratic opposition thereto President McKinley and the United States com- mission will be inspired after all with the sentiments of generosity which are the honor of victorious *nations.” The keynote of these expressions seems to have been sounded by a Span- ish diplomat to an American here last week, thegdiplomat saying that the | United States should be generous to Spain. A dispatch from Madrid this morn- ing says the cost of the Cuban and the Philippine campaigns will exceed 3,000, 000,000 pesetas. M. Jules Cambon, the former French Embassador at Washington, arrived in Paris to-day. He will remain here for two months. PHILIPPINE QUESTION THE STUMBLING BLOCK Spectal cable to The Call and the New Herald. Copyrighted, 188, by James don Bennett. PARIS, Oct. 11.—The Figaro in an ar- ticle this morning confirms the state- ment that the Philippine question 1s the stumbling block of the Peace Com- mission, and says that the reply of the Spanish Government should arrive in time for to-day’s sitting. EVACUATION OF CUBA AND PORTO RICO MADRID, Oct. 10.—It is sald here that the evacuation of Porto Rico will be completed next week and that of | Cuba by the end of November. The | Government is employing twenty-one vessels in the repatriation of ths troops. The soldiers have received their pay for June, and on landing in Spain they will recelve two months’ pay, be given civilian elothing and be mustered out of the service. WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.—Advices re- ceived at the War Department indicate that the evacuation of Cuba by the Spanish forces is proceeding satisfac- torily and smoothly. The threatened trouble at Manzanillo has blown over and the Spaniards have yielded control to the American forces. The following dispatch was received to-night at the ‘War Department: “HAVANA, Oct. 10.—Adjutant Gen- eral, Washington: Spanish forces evac- uating Manzanillo to-day which ' va- cates military control of Spain of en- tire southern coast line west to the jur- isdiction of Juearo.

BITTERLY ASSAILS AMEHICANS PRESS CENSOR OVERLOOKS THE INSULTS. Permits Foreign Papers to Say What They Please, but Carefully Re- vises the Correspondents’ Cablegrams. Correspondence of the Associated Press. MANILA, Sept. 1—The Spanish newspapers in Manila are reveling in an unprecedented atmosphere of free- dom and criticise the American author- ities as they never would have dared criticise their own Government, for the Spanish censor has now joined the great army of unemployed and the United States army censor confines his attention to cablegrams going abroad. He will not, he says, permit a word to be said in any way derogatory to the United States army or authorities, but he takes no notice of violent, inflam- matory diatribes daily exciting the people of the Philippines against the Americans. He lets Spaniards say what they like to their readers, while he refuses to trust the American peo- ple and loyal American journalists. The Oceania Espanola of August 31 contains a flerce article entitled ‘Chaos,” pointing out that no other word can describe the condition of Ma- nila under its new rulers. The article complains that the American authori- ties have removed public officials and have failed to appoint their successors, thereby creating great confusion and hardship to the population of the Phil- ippines. The editorial says: Thousands of poor tradespeople, labor- ers, contractors and others, have been doing business for .the municipal au- thorities of the different wards, and now everything is stopped and the poor peo- ple cannot even get the money due them for work done or goods supplied prior to the surrender. To thousandstin this city one small sllver dollar makes all the dif- ference between starvation and content- ment, yet all the dollars in the treasury have been seized by the Americans. Per- haps some day all debts will be paid, but the artisan, tne street sweeper, the small storekeeper, who does not know where to- morrow's dinner will come from, cannot ged his family on the song of ‘‘Some ay.” The Government pawnshop and savings bank is an American volunteer headquar- ters. How many thousands of people therefore curse the Americans; people been ready to biess them, ready to welcome them as liberators, un- til they find themselves at liberty to Starve ‘“pending negotiations.” There is no blame to the Americans for not being ready all in a minute to run a complicated organization entirely strange to them, but in the name of rea~ son and humanity there is severe blame for stopping one machine before the other is ready. It has caused and is causing an indescribable amount of misery among the many thousands of poor people in Manila. . General Merritt was quick enough to Frnb the customs and get his staff work- ng there, becanse the customs may be milked as richly as a good Swiss cow. But attending to the public wants of a oor populace is mot remunerative, and Be’not only meglects it himself, but pre- vents others going on with it as of old. SOLDIER MOB FORMED TO LYNCH KITCHEN Attempt to Avenge the Killing of a Deserter by the Provost Guard. LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. 19.—As a result of the killing of a private in the Twelfth New York Regiment by Provost Guard Kitchen last night, three or four hundred members of that regiment formed a mob to-night and seized a train at Camp Hamilton with the intention of coming to town on it and raiding the County Jail for the purpose of taking Kitchen out and lynching him. General Wiley and Colonel 7ood were quickly notified of the up- rising and suppressed the mob by prompt action, The outbreak was not unexpected and the jail was heavily guarded. The provost guard in the city was doubled and things are quiet at midnight. It is be- lieved that the prompt measures that were taken have prevented what prom- iséd to be a very serious affair. et il Fighting for a Trademark. LOS ANGELES, Oct. 10.—Judge Wel- born in the United States District Court to-day granted a decree of perpetual in- junction against William Davison of Fresno, which dprohlbils him from using the bottles and labels of the Hennessy Bros.
