Corey Winans stated that no commjttee reports had been received ex- cept from the national advisory counsel and that report included nothing of ‘im- portance to the public or the veterans. Few recommendations for changes in the by-laws are expected and it is not be- lieved that the pension committee will recommend many radical changes in the pension laws. ———————— THE HAGUE, Aug. 17.—The Dutch Minister at St Petersburg has been authorized to join the other representatives of the powers there in the invitation to the Czar to nominate three arbitrators of the claims against Vene- ord and wledge | markable. | comrade and, { in which he belo | erring accuracy, | where his during the war. smile for of army He w Bodies of Murdered Womenand Babes Cast Into a River FESIEIRNE St ERLIN, Aug. 17.—According to a dispatch recelved by the Frankfurt Zeitung, the river near Monastir,* Macedonia, is full of the mutilated bodies of women and children who have been massacred by Bashi Bazouks.

PETER§BURG, Aug. 17.—The squadron of the Russian Black Sea fleet under orders to sail for Turkish waters consists of the battleships Catherine II, Tria Sviatigia, Rostislav and Dvenadzat Apostoloff, four torpedo boat destroyers and six mine and torpedo transports.

LONDON, Aug. 17.—According to in- formation In possession of diplomats in London, there is no reason at this mo- ment to fear the renewal of differences of the powers in respect to Macedonia and that the trouble will spread beyond the confines of Turkey. One of these, who is participating In the exchange of notes regarding the situation, said to- day: The powers are acting harmoniously. ing has developed to indicate any suspicion or cause for suspicion of the motives underlying the demands made by Russia on the Porte. A full exchange of views has. occurred between the powers interested. Balfour's statement in the House of Commons, outlining Great Brit- ain’s_attitude, and the warnings of Austria and Russia Drove that these three nations are in accord, and the advices received at my Em- bassy show that France and Germany approve the policy of Russia and Austria. War be- tween Turkey and Bulgaria might lead to a general conflagration. It is to prevent compli- cations of such a grave character that every effort 1s being made by the powers to main- tain peace between those countrie Within forty-eight hours the Russian squad- ron will reach whatever point has been select- ed. There is no doubt that the sole object of this movement is to make Turkey understand that Russia’s demands must be complied with without delay. I have confirmatory advices as to the general character of the revolution. Turkey has a free hand, so far as the militarv operations within her own territory are concerned, but the sup- pression of the revolt is not a matter of a week and the longer it drags the greater fear of international complications, which the pow- ers are zealously laboring to prevent. o BASHI BAZOUKS ACTIVE. Pillage and Destroy Number of Christian Villages. SOFIA, Bulgaria, Aug. 17.—A dispatch recelved here from Uskub says that 600 Bashi - Bazouks, under the command of Albanian chiefs who are notoriously cruel, have pillaged and destroyed a num- ber of Christian villages in the district of Debre and Okrida. The Turkish au- thorities, it is added, connived at the out- rages and supplied the Bashi Bazouks with old uniforms in order that they might appear to be regular soldiers. e iy o Ft Alleged Spies Are Taken. VIENNA, Aug. 17.—~Two men have been arrested at Moena, Austrian Tyrol, on suspicion of being spies. They were found to be in possession of sketches of fort- resses on the Austrian frontier.

DIPLOMATS ARE ANXIOUS. Fear the Effect of Issuance of Bul- garian Memorandum. SOFIA, Aug. 17.—The foreign diplomats here are anxiously watching the effect of the memorandum which the Bulgarian Government has presented to the pow- ers on the subject of the condition of affairs in Macedonia. They fear it may excite popular opinion in Bulgaria, and point out that such emphatic, outspoken criticism is usually reserved for manifes- tos issued on the eve of war, although it is regarded as being quite improbable that the memorandum was a prelude in the present case to anything more serious than increased tension. Most of the diplomatic representatives at Sofia visited the Foreign Office here to-day and recelved assurances from the Foreign Minister that Bulgaria had not the slightest desire to antagonize Tur- key or any other power, but ‘merely wished to show unmistakably where the responsibility for the Macedonian revo- lution belonged. e ROME LOOKS FOR WAR. Believes Bulgnfi;: Populace Cannot Be Suppressed. ROME, Aug. 17.—The memorandum of the Bulgarian Government to the powers regarding the situation in Macedonia has produced a great effect here. The general impression is that the Bulgarian Govern- ment is no longer able to hold back popu- lar feeling, which, unless it is repressed in time, will lead 'to a war with Turkey. The fate of Bulgaria in that event, it is believed, probably would be the same as that of Greece in the last war with Tur- key.

The total assessment this vear is $2.- 397,572, and that of last year $2,319,745 a gain of §77.827.

The balance are reserves of the second class. A dispatch from Salonica says two per- sons were killed, a number were injured and several cars were destroyed by an ex- plosior. which occurred yesterday on the railroad between Amatora and Karasonli. The managers of the rafiroad have noti- fied the Porte that they disclaim respon- sibility for the damage done to the lines or for the injuries sustained by officials while the present conditions continue to prevail in Macedonia. SOFIA, Bulgaria, Aug. 17.—Orders have been issued for the mobilization to- morrow of two divisions of reserves. It was rumored that these would be em- ployed in strengthening the forces on the frontler, to prevent the passage of Bul- garian bands into Macedonia. The offi- clals, however, state that this rumor is unfounded, and that the reserves were called out to undergo their customary training of fifteen days. L R e e e ] HYLAND IS DISMISSED FROM THE DEPARTMENT Policeman Frank W. Hyland, who was accused by Mrsf Nellie Wadhams of hav- ing stolen $112 85 from her on the afternoon of Jyuly™20, was dismissed from the police force last night. Commissioner Howell voted in Hyland's favor, but Commission- ers Hutton and Drinkhouse expressed an adverse sentiment and fixed the penalty at dismissal. Mrs. Wadhams was arrest- ed on two occasidns for drunkenness. On the first she alleges that Hyland escorted her to the property clerk's office, where she drew a large sum of money, and aft- erward, at a French restaurant, he took the amount specified in the complaint from her purse. . Officer M. F. Oray was before the Com- missioners on a charge preferred by Thomas Garrett, publisher of an evening paper, on a charge of having permitted boys to disturb his peace of mind on the streets. It was said that the patrolman stood by while a crowd of newsboys shouted at the editor. The Commissioners found the accused not guilty. One week ago Garrett secured a permit to carry a revolver, stating that newsboys were in the habit of following him and calling him “fat-head” and saying he was “on the bum.” The case of Policeman Teutenberg, charged with having made an unlawful arrest, was postponed until August 25. Charges - brought against Policeman Hooper of the Soclety for the Prevention j-of Cruelty to Animals were dismissed. —_——— PRIEST WHO SERVED IN NAVY. Rev.

Bailey, a member of the Grand Army from Chicago, secured a search warrant from Police Judge Caban- iss yesterdgy to regain possession of his personal effects from Mrs. Lizzie Phil- lips, 921 Howard street. The case came up in the afternoon before the Judge and Bailey explained that he, his wife, daughter and son had been assigned 921 Howard street and it was agreed that they should be charged $250 per day. They decided it was too much and when they wanted to leave yesterday morning the landlady demanded a full week's board and lodging, although they offered to pay her for the two days they had been there. The Judge gave them back their personal effects and the landlady had to be satisfled with $5. FIRES AT EVERY HITE HE SEES Negro Kills Four Men and Wounds Nine Others. Wanton Destruction of His Watermelons Starts the Trouble. HEFLIN, AlaJ, Aug, 17.—News has just reached here that four men were killed and nine wounded in Randolph County on Saturday by a negro named Sledge. The Sheriff and a posse are in pursuit, but have not yet been able to capture the slayer. The trouble started over a difficulty in a watermelon patch. A party of white men were working on the public road at Beaver Creck, near Lamar. Sledge had a watermelon patch near the road, and when the men finished working they asked permission to eat a few melons. Sledge told them to help themselves, but re- quested that they take care not to de- stroy the vines. As soon as the men en- tered the patch they began to cut and slash melons in every direction. The negro warned them to stop and then went after a gun. Returning, he emptied the weapon into the crowd, wounding nine out of eleven, Immediately after the shooting Sledge fled. A posse, headed by the Sheriff, over- took the negro near the steel bridge over the Tallahoosa River, five miles from Wedowee. He was ordered to surrender, but replied by firing his sholgunr—killing Thomas Ebbitt and Robert Ford. This afternoon Sledge was accosted on the road by James More and Bud Wilson. ‘Without warning the negro raised his gun and fired, killing More and fataliy wound- B o 2 e MORE ARRIVALS ADD TO CROWD i ity Continued From Page 1, Column 6. ed shrill on the flelds of Antietim, Chata- nooga, Missionary Ridge and other m.r-{ torical scenes of the Civit War.

The band serenaded the newspaper of- fices and then visited the Palace Hotel and serenaded General Miles, General Stewart, commander in chief of the G. A R., and other distinguished soldiers. When the shades of night fell the v tors, after a hasty meal, spent the even- ing in visiting the varlous headquarters or accepted the hospitality of the local | posts of the Grand Army that kept “open house.” Thousands witnessed the electrical dis- plays on Market street, and it was with a sense of satisfaction that San Fran- cisco’s 25,000 and more guests retired for sleep In order to be ready for the big events of to-day. The events scheduled for to-day include the big parade in honor of the veterans and the reception this evening at the Mechanies’ Pavilion to Commander in Chief General Stewart. The morning parade will consist of the various branches of the United States military and naval forces stationed around the bay of San Francisco, the branches of the National Guard of Cali- fornia and various civic societies.

The Southern Pacific traffic officials feel very proud of the way they handled the increased traffic incident to the Grand Army Encampment. With few exceptions all trains handled over the Southern Pa- cific systems have been brought into San Francisco on time. In all there have been 33 special trains carrying 15,000 people. Then, besides this number of special trains, the regular overland trains have been taxed to their limit, bringing up the number to 20,000 vis- itors. At the master of transportations office of the Southern Pacific yesterday after- noon, it was given out that ther& are only four more special trains to arrive. The Rhode Island special will arrive early this morning. This will be followed by two special Ohlo trains and they should pull into the Oakland mole about § o’clock this morning. Then will come a Cleve- Jand, Ohlo, special and a Nebraska train, both due about 8 a. m. All the special trains have taken sidings in the Oakiand yards and will be thor- oughly cleaned before they convey the passengers East again. The tickets agents of the Southern Pa- cific announce that 2500 special rate ticket holders for the convention have had their tickets indorsed and are en route to the East again. Most of these ticket holders arrived the early part of last week. Two thousand Grand Army visitors ‘were registered yesterday at the rooms of the State Board of Trade in the Ferry building, where a great permanent free exhibition of the products of California 1s maintained. The majority of these vis- itors were from the States and Territories where agriculture is a leading industry and the display afforded them met with intclligent appreciation. The California Promotion Committee also had many visitors, who were sup- plied wifh such information as they sought and much was distributed.

T —— SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 17.—Ct Engineer C. F. Ragsdale of San Fran- cisco, who has charge of the main party of surveyors who are platting the great stretch of unsurveyed Government lands to the northeast, was in town to-day and told of a terrible experfence with five mountain lions which ne kept at bay all night, while the beasts watched for an opportunity to attack him. His party had been working at White Water for several days, and last Saturday evening Ragsdale was along on Bears Peak, hls companions having gone to Banning for supplies.
