WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.—Major General Miles has received a telegram from Lieu- tenant L. S. Skelly at Vancouver bar- racks, Wash., saying he had just returned from a trip through the unexplored re- glon of Alaska as far as Tanana River, and 1s ready for other service. This officer is a noted scout, having served gallantly with General Miles in most of his Indian campaigns. During his absence he was commissioned a captain in one of the im- mune regiments, but owing to the fact that he was beyond the reach of commu- nication, the commission was not issued. Now that he has returned, however, the original plan will be put into effect, and he will be apointed a captain of one of the fl:—gx:ne regiments destined for service in Seg gt SIXTY JAPANESE LOSE THEIR LIVES KOBE, JAPAN, Oct. 26.—The Japanese steamer Mijagala sank to-day, almost im- mediately after having been in collision ‘with the Japanese steamer Kinshlu Maru.

CABINET AT PEACE JUBILEE Lters in Important Matters Secretly Con- sidered by the President and His Advisers. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 26.—Immediately after the reception to the President at Union League a meeting of the . Chief Executive and those Cabinet officers who are in attendance with him at the Peace Jubilee was held at the Hotel Bellevue. Those present besides the President were Postmaster General Smith, Secretary of War Alger, Secretary of Agriculture Wilson and Solicitor General Richards in place of Attorney General Griggs. The utmost secrecy attended the proceedings, and it is impossible to learn for what purpose the meeting was called or what subjects were discussed. From an unofficial, though ordinarily reliable, source it was gleaned that J. C. Kellogg, private secretary to Secre- tary Hay, reached here to-night bearing important dispatches from the State Department. Neither Secretary Porter nor any of the Cabi- net officers could be seen after the meeting and no other information from other sources could be obtained. The meeting lasted nearly an hour and was held in the Presi- dent’s rooms in the hotel. Local detectives prevented any one from approaching the vicinity. Mr. Kellogg, when questioned about the matter, admitted being the bearer of a message, but said it was purely a personal one from Secretary Hay. That it was more than some ordinary deliberation was apparent from the fact that Mr. Kel- logg reached the Union League shortly before 11 o’clock and was immediately taken to the President. He then left and went to the hotel, the reception coming to an end very shortly. After the Presi- dent and Cabinet had concluded their deliberations Mr. Kellogg left immediately for Washington in a special car. It was reported after midnight that the President may leave for Washington in the morn- ing and not remain to review the military Jjubilee parade.

Special cable to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyrighted, 159, by James Gor- don Bennett. HAVANA, Oct. 26 (via Key West).— The American Evacuation Commission continues to advise the sending of war- | ships here, but can get no reply from | Washington. The reason may be that Admiral Sampson refused to join Gen- erals Wade and Butler in the recent re- | quests. A joint session of the two com- missions will - - held soon. From an American Commissioner I learn this session will also certainly result in making arrangements for evacuation. In the meantime the work of preparing for the landing of American troops is progressing as rapidly as possible. As told in a recent dispatch, General Butler warned Secretary Alger that some show of strength must be made soon or America would lose all prestige with the Cubans. To this warning there has been given emphasis by the reported return to the hills of a band of insurgents who have been encamped near Sagua. These men sent word to General Betancourt that their condition | was intolerable. In the hills they could | live as the— had for three years, and if American troops took charge of the ijsland they would harass them as long as life lasted. ccording to Gomez, it would re- quire 10.000 men to cavture fifty insur- gents fighting as guerrillas in moun- tains. Insurgents in the neighborhood of Havana are quiet, but far from satis- fled. Matanzas merchants complain of the lawless conduct of insurgents who still assect the right to levy contribu- tions upon sugar esiates. Smallpox is reported epidemic In Roja’s insurgent camp, six miles from Cienfuegos. Colonel Hecker, who has been abused by the Diaro Marina, to-day visited the editor and successfully demanded an apology. The merchants of all parts of the island are beginning to realize that the withdrawal of Spanish troops means a great loss of trade and paraly- sis for many industries. For more than three years Cuba has had within her borders never less than 150,000 soldiers, whose food and clothing have been pur- chased here. Advance orders for pro- visions and supplies have fallen off $3,000,000 in the last month, according to Havana brokers. Since October 1 | orders have gone from Havana to Bos- l ton for $1,500,000 worth of sugar gfind- | ing machinery. Several other orders are now pending. |CAMP SITES FOR TROOPS IN CUBA | | Their Location to Be Decided Upen | When tue President Returns | to Washington. | WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.—The final se- lection of camp sites for the American troops who will garrison Cuba awaits | the President’s decision on his return from Philadelphia. ¥t was discussed at some length at the Cabinet meeting yes- terday, and as the various reports of the Hecker board were not finally disposed of it is probable the Cabinet will feel that it should take some expert advice before making final selections. The troops will not be landed at one place, but each detachment will be landed at the nearest and most accessible port to the place which is to form its camping ground. Among the places that have been recom- mended by the Hecker board are Guana- bacoa, which can be reached best from Regla, opposite Havana, on the bay; Ma- riano, about six miles southwest of Ha- vana, with a seaport at Playa de Mari- ano, and Mariel on the bay of the same name, about twenty-five miles from Ha- vana and beyond Mariano. All these sites fulfill the needs of good camping rounds, but in each case the Hecker Board has found that there must be con~ siderable expenditure by the Government | if permanent landing places are to be | provided, so_that the troops will not run the risk of infection in passing through Havana. W G S S MANY SICK SOLDIERS ‘ BROUGHT FROM PONCE :Hospitnl Ship Relief Reaches Phila- | delphia—One Man Dies on | the Way. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 26.—The hospital ship Relief, which arrived here last night from Ponce, Porto Rico, has on board 246 sick soldiers. One soldier dled on the way here. He was Fred Reedhouse, Com-~ pany L, First Illinols. He died Monday from heart failure, following typhoid fever. Of the other sick, 150 are con- valescent, but ninety-six of them will have to be taken to the hospitals on stretchers. The work of removing the men from the ship has not begun. The National Relief Commission Is sup- plying the men with milk and delicacies, wille they remain on the ship. Among those who came on the Relief was Lieu- tenant Colonel R. S. Huidekoper, who has been at Porto Rico as chief surgeon of the United States troops. Colonel Huide- koper will go to Washington in a few days and says that after giving testi- mony before the war investigating com- mittee he expects to return to Porto Rico. Lot i i Drowned While Fishing. DENVER, Oct. 26.—Dr. Edward W. Bo- vett, a well known veterinarian of this city, and E. Girard, cook at the clubhouse of the Standard Suooting Club at Bowles Lake, ten miles South of here, were drowned while flsh!n% in the lake to-day. The cause of the accident {s unknown, the first knowledge of it being the discovery of their overturned boat by other fisher men.
