IN THE MAMMOTH TENT.
Interesting Exercises at the
Baptist Young Peoples
Convention.
Great Ovation Given to the Youth
Who Represented Northern
California.

BALTIMORE, Md, July 19.-The pro-
ceedings of the second day OF the Baptist
Young Peoples Convention began with
SIX sunrise prayer-meetings in various
parts of the city. These were held at $50
o'clock and were largely attended.
The mammoth tent at Druid Hill Park
was fairly well filled at $50 o'clock, the
hour named for the opening devotional
exercises. The devotional exercises were
conducted by Rev. L. o. Dawson of Tusca-
loosa, Ala. The report of the committee
on important topics in the annual report
was presented by w. T. Hellings, DID,, of
Omaha, Nebr. The nominating committee
in its report recommended the reelection
of President John H. Chapman. The an
nouncement was received with cheers by
the men and waving of handkerchiefs by
the ladies. Mr.. Chapman made a stirring
address of thanks to the convention and
the nominating committee for the honor it
had conferred upon him. The only change
in the list of vice. presidents was the sub
stitution of Phillip F. Botzong of New
Jersey for Frank Harvey Field of New
York. Rev. II. w. Reed of Waukegan,
Ill. nominated A. M. Brinkle of Pennsyl-
vania as recording secretary. Frank
Moody of Milwaukee and Rev. F. L. Will
kins, DID,. of Chicago, were renominated
as treasurer and general secretary, respec-
lively. The executive committee was also
renominated.
One of the most striking features was
when Northern California was called. The
response came in boyish treble from
George M. Purnell of Sacramento. He did
not look to be over Is years old. He wore
glasses, and his voice was shrill and pene-
fro 1Hef
greet you in the name of 2400 young peo-
pie of Northern California. Eureka is
our motto" He continued to speak the
allowed minute and over. At the conclu-
sion of his speech there were great demon
strations. and the performance was con-
sidered so remarkable that the delegates
called for its repetition on the speakers
stand. The youthful orator was escorted
to the stand, where chair was set out on
which he mounted. He repeated his
speech, and at the conclusion led the Colo
rado delegates in the yell about Denver
being one mile nearer heaven than Brook
lyn. The applause was tremendous, and
handkerchiefs waved all over the tent
The climax of patriotism was reached
when the District of Columbia was called.
The banner of the delegation, a silk flag of
stars and stripes, was waved by Miss Cory,
while the Rev. Mr.. Thomas of Georgetown
delivered a patriotic address. Then the
tent audience arose and sang "The Star
Spangled Banner" The short reports and
campaign songs were finally finished and
the convention took recess.
The afternoon session was devoted to
twelve workers conferences in the various
Baptist churches on the general topic,
young Peoples Society as q Working
Force" The conference began at 2:30
o'clock. Addresses were made in each by
prominent speakers.

Cuban soil. The landing-place would be
some point near which the insurgents are
in force or place accessible thereto.
Having landed, the officers are to report
for service with the rebels and to perform
such duty as may be assigned to them
Regarding the plans, it is not intended
that any American officer shall become
commander-in-chief of the insurgents un-
less by special zeal and ability he should
prove himself worthy Of such destination
and be selected by the rebel leaders now in
Cuba.
In case of capture, it was stipulated that
every step known to the law and to poll
tics would be taken to prevent their being
shot.
Several lieutenants in the army, and
perhaps ten or twelve who had formerly
held commissions, have been spoken to,
and it is probable that five or six OF the
ex-officers will accept the offer and be pre-
pared to sail for Cuba within the next ten
days The insurgents have representatives
abroad seeking to secure trained officers
and soldiers for Cuba. No officer of the
army, War Department officials say, could
take service with the insurgents and retain
his commission. An officer might be
granted leave of absence, but the permis-
sion would not entitle him to take up arms
against friendly country such as Spain.
The only manner in which he could JOIN
the rebels would be to resign from the army.
Inquiry at the War Department ellclts
the information that thus far no officer has
sent in his resignation. In the case OF ex-
officers they could do as they pleased and
nothing would be known of their course at
Washington unless the fact of their going
to Cuba leaked out accidentally. The Off
ciaIs at the Spanish legation here say they
have no knowledge of this feature OF the
programme of the insurgents. In referring
to the revolution they speak sneeringly OF
the physical and financial strength OF the
rebels, and assert with much emphasis that
the troubles in Cuba will be short-Hved
owing to the energy and ability to General
Campos and his soldiers.

A DESPERATE AMBITION,
Democratic Treasury Officials
AbrOgating Two
Laws.
Not to Pay the Sugar Bounty or the
Subsidy for Carrying Foreign
Mails.

WASHINGTON, d. g., July 19.-So des-
perate is the ambition of the Democratic
administration to make more favorable
showing this year than last in the item of
treasury receipts and expenditures that it
has deliberately gone to work to abrogate
two laws. The act providing for the pay
ment of $5,000,000 bounty on sugar manu-
factured and produced prior to August 28,
1894, was passed by the last Congress to
relieve, in some degree, the injustice
caused by the repeal of the bounty law in
the German Wilson act Not cent of the
appropriation will be paid if the treasury
officials can help it.
The Comptroller of the Treasury, whose
word is final in such cases, has held up the
first warrant issued in pursuance OF this
enactment and has served a notice on the
Oxnard Beet-sugar Company of Nebraska
to,appear before him with counsel and
shbw cause why the money due it should
be paio. This means that the Comptroller
will declare the law unconstitutional and
he is forced to abide by the law through
the Judgment of the Supreme Court.
The other law that will be rendered null
by the administration is that providing for
the payment of subsidies to steamships for
transportation of foreign mails. This law
is especially obnoxious because it was
passed by Republican Congress with a
view to encouraging American shipbuild-
ing, and so increasing foreign commerce
in American bottoms.
The amount expended yearly under this
law is about $sOOO.O00. This expenditure
will be cut off arbitrarily on the pretext of
the unconsttutionality and here, too. a
decision by the Supreme Court will be nec-
gress can be carried into effect.
By these subterfuges the treasury off,
cials postpone for year and possibly
longer the payment of $13,000,000. 1t is a
clear violation of the law for the purpose
of making a superficial record. Whatever
may be the whims of the Comptroller, no
lawyer of any standing has ever yet qIes-
toned the constitutionality of either of the
enactments.

Young Spanish Soldiers Protect Captain

PARIS, FRANCE, July 19.-The Temps
has Madrid dispatch saying that official
advices confirm the report of desperate
fight between Cuban insurgents and the
escort OF Captain General Martinez Campos
between Manzanillo and Bayama, The
young Spanish soldiers displayed desper-
ate valor. They formed square around
the captain-general and repelled the fierce
charges made by the rebel cavalry. Gen
eral Santocildes was killed while heading
charge to cover the columns retreat.
General Campos then directed the re-
treat with brilliant intrepidity. He brought
in all the wounded and checked the furi-
Gus attacks of the insurgents, who main
tanned their pursuit to Bayamo. Upon
arriving at Bayamo General Campos tele-
graphed to Generals Valdez and Navarro
to hasten from Santiago de Cuba and Hol-
guin with their respective forces of 1900
and 1900 men.
Letters from General Campos report
that the rebellion is gaining ground in the
central provinces owing to the rains
paralyzing the movements of the Spanish
troops. During June there were 2900 cases
of yellow fever among the troops. OF
those attacked 104 died.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 19.-Con-
temporaneously with the announcement
that the Spanish Cabinet has agreed to
paw the Mora claim, the Treasury Depart
ment has issued orders to the revenue ma
rine to manifest increased vigilance in
guarding the South Atlantic coast to pre-
vent filibustering expeditions for Cuba
leaving our shores, and to protect our
southern seaport towns from the introduc-
ton Of yellow fever from Cuba.
The orders, which are lengthy, state:
"In addition to your regular duties under
the customs and navigation laws, you are
directed to pay strict attention TO the en-
forcement of the neutrality laws. In the
course of your cruising fishing smacks and
other vessels from foreign ports which may
be found near the coast, with or without
the intention of making a port of the
United States, and not having bill Of
health signed by the Consular officer OF
the United States at the foreign port from
which the vessel sailed, viii be sent by you
to the nearest quarantine station, to re-
port there to the medical officer in
charge.
"You will hail all craft from foreign
ports fallen in with to ascertain if there is
sickness on board, and if an affirmative re-
ply is received the vessel will not be boarded
but you will order it as above directed and
enforce the order. If the reply is negative
you will cause the vessel to be boarded by
the sanitary inspector and thoroughly e1-
amined in the interest of the quarantine
service and by an officer of your command
under the customs, navigation and neu-
trality laws"
KINGSTON, JAMAICA, July 19.-It is a
pretty well established fact that another
flibustering expedition has either landed
in Cuba or is near the coast awaiting an
opportunity. On Tuesday last strange
ship sailed from Ocho Rios, having on
board a number of filibusters and guam
tity of arms and ammunition destined for
Cuba She, it is said, was not molested in
any way, and Cuban sympathizers here
are congratulating themselves upon sue
cessful dispatch of her expedition.

DEMANDED A FORECLOSURE.

NesU More by the Santa Fe ReOrgGniSa-
tiOn.
ALBUQUERQUE,N. NJ, July ia bill
was filed here yesterday in the United States
court by the United States Trust Company
of New York, trustees under the first mort
gage for the Atlantic and Pacific Railway,
asking for foreclosure and sale OF the
property, no interest having been. paid on
the first mortgage since the road went into
the hands of receivers in January. 1894.
Railroad officials and lawyers familiar with
the Santa Fe financial affairs infer from
this action that the reorganization, which
represents the interests of the first mort
gage bondhclders, contemplates applying
at an early date for a separate receiver
ship, as no agreement has yet been ef-
fected with the Atchison reorganiza-
ton committee as to the terms
under which the property may be ac-
quired in the general reorganization of
the Atchison system, of which the Allan
tic and Pacific is an integral part.

MOVEMENT or GOLD.
Large amounts to Be Shipped Out of the
C0tGntrn.

NEW YORK, n. Y, July 10. = The
movement of gold out of the country
threatens to assume large proportions.
Nesslage, Colgate e. Co., the bullion firm
who have already forwarded $400, 600 gold
to Europe, including $4,000 which left on
the Normannia, have arranged for the ship
ment of an additional 100000 on the Etru-
ria on Saturday. The Canadian Bank of
Commerce sent $75. 900 gold to Montreal to-
dav, and w. H. Crossman & Bro, lead
ing coffee importing house, are considering
the adyisability of exporting $750,0O0 or
81, 600, 600 in gold Saturday.
Crossman & Bro. have large remittance
to make to Europe this week. The only
question under consideration is whether it
will be cheaper to send the gold or bills of
exchange. 1t was admitted at the Office of
the firm that the matter was under consid-
GRAFTON, and if bills could not be secured
at a rate which would make the shipment
of gold Improbable the latter form of re-
mittance would be chosen.

IN INTERESTING OCEAN RACE
Tsco United States Ships Coming From
Madeira.


Madeira.
WASHINGTON, d. c., July 19.-An in.
teresting ocean race between two vessels oi
the United States navy began yesterday
from Funchal, Madeira. The vessels are
the practice ship Monongahela, having on
board class OF naval cadets, and the
training ship Alliance, manned by large
number of naval apprentices. A cable
message received at the Navy Department
yesterday afternoon indicates that the
vessels started together.
The Monongahela is bound for Annapo-
lis and the Alliance for Yorktown, so that
the race will be to the Virginia capes.
Both vessels will proceed under sail. but
the Alliance is at somewhat of disad-
vantage by the fact that she will have to
drag her unused propeller. The Alliance
has displacement of 1856 tons, while that
of the Monongahela is 2100 tons. There is
much rivalry between the cadets and the
apprentices, and the boys on each ship
will work hard to have their particular
vessel reach the capes first.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 19.-Northern and
Southern delegates to the silver conference
now under way at the Auditorium Hotel
came near an open rupture this morning.
At one time a split in the ranks seemed i'm
minent over resolution of Southern men
to ignore the bimetallic league. They main
tanned that the avowed purpose of the
league was to assist the aspirations of their
political candidate, Joseph Sibley. The
men from the South desired to conduct
their work in their section within the
ranks of the Democratic party and in the
North to conduct the agitation ON nom
partisan basis.
Mr.. Rucker of Colorado asserted that

Captain Paul Webb lost his life near here
in an attempt to ride his submarine boat
or barrel down 800 foot log chute into
Lake Cmur d'Alene.
About 800 people witnessed his at
tempt to descend into tie lake, which

miles from here. Webb was placed
within the boat, which was six and A.
half feet long, two feet in diameter and
cone-shaped. Two.thirds OF the way
down there was a slight rise in the In
cline. Here the barrel jumped 80 feet
into the air, striking the ground on end,
then rolling 40 feat further down the
hill.
Many persons turned their heads with
horror and some ladies tainted. When
the barrel was ,0pened, Webb was
damned closely iuto the end but was
conscious. DR. Russell of Spokane ex-
