The California and Colorado regiments are preparing to take transports. Ths Sherman and Warren will leave shortly. OTIS. The department sums up the situa- tion as outlined by General Otis in the following statement: To meet the re- quirements of the returning volunteers the Quartermaster’s Department re- ports there are now in Manila the transports Sherman, Warren and Grant, with a capacity of 199 officers | and 4924 enlisted men. There are now | at sea en route to Manila the Zealandia (due July 20), Sheridan (due July 21), Valencia (due J 26) and Pennsyl- vania (due July 29), with capacity for 161 officers and 4200 enlisted men. There are now in San Francisco the trans- ports City of Para, which will sail July 12, and Tartar, to sail July 20, with a capacity for fifty-five offfcers and - 2300 enlisted men. There are now et (oute to San Francisco the following iiana- ports, with capacity for 209 officers ana 4694 enlisted men: Ohio, Newport, In- diana, Hancock, Senator, Morgan City and Relief (hospital). The department confidently believes the transportation has been so well ar- i ranged by the Quartermaster’s Depart- ! ment that the last of the volunteers | will leave Manila not later than the | 10th of September, and it is expected | they will all be away by the 1st. | The recruits required for the regular | regiments in the Philippines are esti- mated at 6338 men. The number of recruits now at sea |is 1507; number of recruits now at | San Franciseo is 3284, a total of 4791, The large number of vacancies ex- for home. Some hostile 2 50 rebels, mostly bolo- and Twenty-third Infantry is due to the fact that these regiments went with General Merritt's original expedition to the Philippines and were not filled to the maximum, also that the men in| these regiments who enlisted for the war are just now being discharged: | the men enlisting for the war in the | other regiments were discharged be- fore the regiments left this country, and the ancies are due to the in-| crease of the companles from 106 to 126 men. At the rate of enlistments for the last | few weeks the entire number will be enlisted by the close of the 'present| week. | - ELEVEN REGIMENTS OF VOLUNTEERS FOI' MANILA| WASHINGTON, July 3.—Official an- | | nouncement was made to-day of the in- ‘ tention of the President to raise eleven regiments of volunteers, | besides filling all vacancies fn | the regular regiments now at Man- | ila. Two of the volunteer regiments | have been organized at Manila, and of | the remaining nine two will rendezvous | and be drilled at Camp Meade, Pa., and one each at Plattsburg barracks, | N. Y.; Columbus barracks; Fort| Thomas, Kentucky; Fort Sheridan, II- | linois; Leavenworth, Kans.; San An- | tonio, Tex., and Vancouver- barracks. | Regular army officers who commanded | volunteer regiments in the war with Spain will be assigned to command the | nine new regiments, and wilk proceed immediately with their captains to| posts at which their respective regi- | ments will be recruited and take meas- | ures to enlist men in all parts of the | country without reference to regular | recruiting stations. By this means the War Department expects that by Au- | guest all the men needed to form the regiments will have been obtained and that by the following month they will be in shape to sail for their destina- | tion. The total number of volunteers | to be enlisted will be 13,781—11,781 for | the nine regiments to be organized in| this country, and 2000 in Manfla. Each | regiment will have fifty officers, so that | the regimental strength will be 1359 men. The order for the enlistment of | volunteers will not be issued until next week, the department having deter- mined to continue enlistments for the | regular service for another week, in| which time the entire number of 6338 | men required to fill the regular regi- ments in Manila will be secured. Be- leving that the country does not want politics to enter into army appoint- ments, the President proposes to select | men to be commissioned from the regu- | lar service and those volunteers who | served creditably during the war with | Spain, and but one additional brigadier | general will be appointed. | gt S PEACE TREATY RATIFIED BY THE SPANISH SENATE MADRID, July 3—The Spanish Senate resumed to-day the discussion of peace between the kingdom of Spain and the | United States. 3 Senor Montero Rios, president of the Spanish Commission at Paris, declared that Spain_would enjoy the same com- mercial rights in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines as would be enjoyed by the United States. He pointed out that the treaty was based upon the principle that Spain had relinquished soverelgnty over. Cuba in order that the isiand Should become independent and mot an- nexed to the United States. | The Senate ratified the treaty and then | i adjourned. 0il Companies Incorporate. SANTA BARBARA, July 3.—Despite the | strenuous efforts of citizens to prevent | mining companies flling claims along the | beach, which is one of Santa Barbara's chief attractions, articles of incorporation are being filed at the County Clerk's of- fice repeatedly. To-day the Castle Rock Mining Company filed a fifty-year incor- poration, with a capital of 000. The company will bore for ofl and dls sell, lease and exchange beach claims.

DEPUTATION SYUBBED While Russia Fathers the Peace Conference It Will Not Do an Act of Justice. —— Special Dispatch to The Call. While the Czar is seeking at The Hague to pose as the apostle of peace he still stands at St. Peters- burg as the autocrat whom no power can turn fram his purpose to deprive the Finns of their liberties. Not even the most eminent men in. Europe ¥ | will be heard when they appear to| F plead the cause of these downtrodden | people, and petitions on behalf of Finland from foreign nations are re- sented by Nichelas as impertinent. T. PETERSBURG, July 3.—The presence here of a foreign deputa- tion to intercede in behalf ¢f Fin- landers created a sensation of as- tonishment. The deputation con- | sists of six members, ex-Minister Tra- | rieux of France, Professor Nordenskiold of Sweden; Professor Brusa of Italy. Professor Van der Viugt of Holland, Dr. Bogger of Norway and .Dr. Hansen of Denmark. They brought separate ad- dresses from twelve European coun- tries, entreating the Czar to heed the rejected petition of the Finns. Several addresses refer to his Majesty's aim for universal peace and harmony. The The Russians profess to be highly of- fended at the attempt at foreign inter- ference, and forelgn Embassadors are hardly less indignant that the Czar was not approached through them. The Minister of the Imperial House- hold, after taking twenty-four hours to recover from his surprise, referred the delegates to the Minister of the Inte- rior, who sent them to the Czar’s adju- tant general. The latter sent them back to the Minister of the Interior, | who entertained them at luncheon, and politely and delicately informed them his Majesty did them. | All the officials seemed fearful of | wounding their susceptibility. It is be- lieved M. Pobiedonestzeff, Procurator of the Holy Synod, was malnly ane swerable for the rejection of the ad- dresses. The delegates will return via Helsingfors, where they will deposit the addresses in the Finnish archives. NEW YORK, July 3.—A Journal spe- cial from Berlin says: Advices received from St. Petersburg state that Grand Duke Vladimir's offictal tour of Finland has not been a triumphant Governor Bobrikoff's optimistic state- ments that the people are accepting the alteration of the old constitution are utterly incorrect. Everywhere he goes, the Grand Duke asserts, he has been met with coldness, and at a banquet at one town only six local officials could be induced to dine with him. Grand Duke Vladimir recommends to the Czar that the old constitution be maintained. THE HAGUE, July 3.—The drafting committee of the arbitration commit- tee of the peace conference passed the second reading of Sir Julian Paunce- fote’s scheme for a permanent court of arbitration to-day, and then took up the Russians’ scheme, which is now entitled “The Law of Arbitration and Disputes Thereunder." Sir Julian Pauncefote's scheme was amended so as to permit the powers wishing to take advantage of it to pro- | pose four mames for judges, and also to permit the foreign powers at The Hague to replace the permanent coun- cil of administration suggested in the proposal of the heads of the British delegation. At the suggestion of M. Leon Bour- geois, the head of the French delega- tion, the drafting committee decided that, in the event of a dispute, it should be the duty of neutral powers to call the attention of the disputant nations to the existence of the permanent court of arbitration TURBINE SYSTEM OF ENGINES FOR THE VIPER Innovation in the Construction of a British Torpedo Boat Destroyer. NEW YORK, July 3.—A Sun cable from London says: Keen interest is felt at the admiraity in the development of the tor- edo-t destroyer Viper, which will be aunched shortly on the Tyne. The Messrs. Parsons are fitting her with the turbine system of engines, and they be- lieve they will enable her to make forty- five miles an hour. Experiments are be- ing made in the direction of utilizing the turbine system aboard ocean steamers. Experts are of the opinion that this sys- tem will revolutionize ocean travel and make It possible to cross the Atlantic in three days. ke CURED OF LEPROSY. Wonderful Recovery of a Negro Who Had the Disease. NEW YORK, July 3.—The World says: Philip Sydney, a negro, who was one of the leper inhabitants of the North Broth- er Island lazaretto, walked into Bellevue to-day apparently entirely cured of lep- rosy. Drs. W. S. Stone and A. H. Man- dell examined him. To-morrow Sidney will go to Black- well’s Island to carry the good news to two of his former leper companions, a Chinaman and a German, who are at the Almshouse. The descriptions Sidney gave of the wonderful remedy that cured him are vague. The doctors understand him to say that it came from India.

THREE BODIES LIE BENEATH THE RUINS CHICAGO, July 3.—Three persons are believed to be dead beneath the tottering walis of the Western Paper Stock Com- pany’s plant, which was burned to-day. The dead: BARTHOLOMEW SPARKOEIETZ, &0 years old. 'MRS. JOSIE DOYLE, 21 years old. STEFFANIE BAGDCIES. The fire is thought to have started from spontaneous combustfon among some old rags in the basement. The building stood at 1452-1458 Indiana avenue and was a four-story brick structure. The ‘flames Qquickly spread to the upper floors by way of the elevator shaft and stairway. The highly inflammable nature of the stock caused the building to fill with dense emoke, rendering escape difficult for em- ployes on the three higher. stories. The occupants of the building became panic- stricken and rushed to the windows. Those who went to the front, where there was a fire escape, were able to escape, On the south side of the burned structure, however, many of the frenzied women leaped out of "the third-story windows to_the roof of a shed.

I BRYAN WANTS RUNNING MATE Desires the OQhioan to Offset the Influence of Harri- son at Chicago. o Special Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, July 3.—William J. Bryan distrusts the Chicago Democrats, for he fears that Mayor Harrison will bob up to bother him in the National Demo- cratic Convention in 1900. Mayor Har- rison, has too many sound money friends in the Democratic party to suit the Nebraska leader, and in addition the Chicago executive wants to make trusts the leading Democratic issue in the campaign next year instead of sil- ver. Mr. Bryan is credited with a desire to have Allen W. Thurman as his running mate next year, being convinced that the Ohio man will be a leader of the Democratic hosts. In fact, Mr. Bryan, at a conference yesterday in this city, announced that Mr. Thurman was his choice. His desire to put up Mr. Thur- man for Vice President seems to be based on the presentations made by himself that he couid carry, Ohio for the Democratic ticket. He told of the Republican dissatisfaction in that | State, which, according to his views, gives the Democrats an -excelient chance to elect their State ticket this year. In the event of success next No- vember, he said the way to victory in the national election of 1900 would be easy. In case Mr. Thurman is made the Vice Presidential nominee it is said the Democratic party will make Ohio one of its chief battle-grounds, hoping to defeat McKinley by the adverse vote of his own State. -In 1896 Mr. Bryan caught the galleries at the Chicago con- vention and received the Democratic nomination for President, but if the Na- tional Democratic Convention is held in Chicago next year he has some fear that he cannot do this again, because Mayor Harrison and his friends are not Bryan men. Mr. Harrison was not at vesterday's conference, and Mr. Bryan thinks the Mayor may pack the gal- leries with other than Bryan men. Mr. Bryan does not care for an Eastern Vice Presidential candidate next year, as he thinks the East is against him anyway, and still an “enemy’s coun- try.” That is why he has taken at once merely to the Thurman idea. AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF FEVER CASES Ninety-Four Cases and Seventeen Deaths in the Vicinity of Santiago de Cuba. SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 3.—An in- crease in the number of new cases of yel- low fever and a decrease in the death rate are the striking features of the situation. There have been ninety-four cases up to date, of which seventeen .have proved fatal. Eleven out of the first fifteen at- tacked succumbed to the disease. Near- 1y all were camr followers of the drinking sort. Eliminatin has really been small. Te—dnz the medical corps was rein- y forced several doctors from Havana. The fever hospital, which is on an island across the bay, is excellently equipped, and’it is impossible to overestimate the devotion and heroism of the medical men. There is no fever in the city, HAVANA, July 3.—Dr. Baker sailed from here to-day for Vera Cruz to ex- periment with Sanarell's serum. No serum has been received here as yet. The health officers are eagerly awaiting it, the majority being enthusiastic over it and predict its success. e r-acal-gle gl Sl Al S S e O Ae AR AN A ANY: AN A e el A A AN AN RN QA S S S e e e g these, the death rate | | | | | | | | i | | DEWEY'S SOCIALISTS THREATEN A REVOLUTION Workingmen Promise Trou- ble if Universal Suffrage Is Not Granted.

RUSSELS, July 3.—The excite- ment among politiclans con- tinues, though further outbreaks are improbable. ¥ntil the Gov- ernment’s proposals are submit- ted to the Chamber Tuesday, when, if satisfactory, a permanent compromise may be effected, otherwise the Social- ists threaten extremes, even revolution. The bill satisfies only the Clericals, and there is a strong feeling, in which the Socialists join, that new elections ought to be held before any change is effected in the way of redistribution of votes or seats. If the Government does not with- draw the electoral bill Tuesday or in- troduce a bill providing for universal suffrage the working class promise to precipitate a general strike throughout the country. The Government is be- tween the devil and the deep sea. If the Cabinet opposes universal suffrage it is threatened with a revolution which may sweep away the monarchy. On the other hand, universal suffrage fis liable to result in the return of such a large Socialist and Republican major- | ity in the Chamber that the monarchy THURMAN FOR will be equally threatened. At a meefing of the factions of the Left in the Chamber a resolution in faver of the withdrawal of the electorai bill and urging a dissolution instead of a referendum was adopted. BLANKET INJUNCTION AGAINST STRIKERS Federal Judge Allen Takes a Hand in the Mining Troubles at Carterville. SPRINGFIELD (IIl), July 3. —The United States has now taken a hand in the mining troubles at Carterville. This afternoon, upon the application of Charles H. Bostorth, receiver of the St. Louis and Big Muddy Coal Company of Carter- ville, who was appointed in the Federal Court as such, Judge Allen, in the Fed- eral Court, issued an omnibus injunction against John Piana and others restrain- ing them from in any way interfering with the receiver or any of those employ- ed at the mine in its operation. Chiet Deputy United States Marshal Watts, ac- companied by Deputies Wier, - Dowell, Spring, Williams and Eaton, has gone to Carterville to enforce the injunction. State President John M. Hunter of the United Mine Workers of America left to-day for Carterville. DENVER, July 3.—General H. C, Mer- riam, who was in command of the troops at Wardner, Idaho, when martial law was deciared there by the State authorities after the Coeur d"Alene miners’ riots, took occasion to-day, in an interview, to assert that he is not an enemy of labor or of unions, as has been represented by James R. Sovereign, Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, and other labor leaders. “t was my wish and my hope,” declared the general, “that every union miner in the Coeur d'Alene could declare his inno- cence and the innocence of his union and obtain the Governor's employment permit, and the higher the wages the better I should have been pleased.” FURTHER PROPOSALS NOT TO BE CONSIDERED If the Alaskan Boundary Question Is Not Soon Settled the Frontier Will Be Garrisoned. NEW YORK, July 3.—A Journal special from Washington says: A high official of the ‘State Department said to-day con- cerning the Alaskan boundary that the time had come to advise England that there was no intention on the part of this Government to listen to further proposals the essential object of which was to ob- tain unreasonable concessions of Ameri- can_territory. “The only po: ible chance T now see for a settlement,” sald this official, “is that England may induce Canada to see that all of these propositions before the Joint High Commission will be impossible of consideration, If the provisional boundary line be not first fixed. In other words, ail of Canada’'s chances for reciprocities with the United States will be killed summar- ily if the Alaskan boundary business is not settled and at once. “In case of a final disagreement on the provisional line, the United States will be obliged to garrison Pyramid Harbor, which is now without a garrison. at the request of Great Britain, and other places | on the frontier, in the interest of Ameri- can citizens in the disputed territory.” el OUTE HOME AY BE CHANGED Contagious Diseases Prevailing at Red Sea Ports Cause the De- partment Uneasiness.
