Gently ordered deported from Havana to
the Isle of Pines. They were sent in
chains afoot overland to Battomo, where
they were taken by steamer to their desti-

The prisoners were guarded by 200

a lonely palm grove on the roadside near
BejucaL. The bodies were afterward hor-
ribly mutilated with machetes. The
guards reported that the prisoners tried to
escape.
Letters from Havana continue to tell
stories of shocking atrocities committed
by the Spanish troops, and in many cases
these stories come from the Spanish them
selves. In one case where it was officially
reported that nineteen insurgents had
been killed IN battle il is asserted that
the Spanish troops had cruelty slaugh.

In another case three little children
were locked into a house which was set

death. Another case reported is that of 8

were brutally butchered.

EAGER FOR ANNEXATION.
Hawaiians Again Agitate the
Subject OF Union With
Uncle Sam.
Internal Discussions and The Influx of
Japanese and Portuguese Men.
ace the Republic

HONOLULU, HAWAII, Sept. 15.-Much
effort has been made the past fortnight to
generate disaffection among the support
ers of the Government, including the
Portuguese, by propagating the suspicion
that Dole and his Cabinet are not honestly
in favor of annexation, but are in accord
with tie British section of the sugar
planters in wanting nothing more than at
most an American protectorate which
would permit the continued importation
of Asiatic contract labor. The white me-
chanics and laborers are strongly opposed
to the continuance of such immigration,
and their minds have been much dis
turbed by the suspicious put in circula-
tion.
Interviews with mem bers of the Cabi-
net elicit the strongest expressions of
their desire TO secure no form of political
union with tn United States less com plete
than the full admis.io of Hawaii as
State or Territory. They regard protec-
tectorate as very unsatisfactory, contain
ing elements OF uncertainty. It would be
liable to be terminated like any trea v, or
TO have its conditions read diusted. What
is needed for the political stability of
Hawaii is absolute union. MIR. Dole's
government is extremely anxious to nego-
tiate treaty of annexation as soon as any
administration at Washington will enter
tain the subject.

willing to make any race distinction, as
the school is on benevolent religious foun-

LEITH, SCOTLAND, Sept. 22.-The Rus
sian imperial yacht STANDARD, with the
Gear and Czarina on board, arrived this
afternoon. The Car. Czarina and their
suites were transferred from the STANDARD
to a local steamer, which conveyed them
to the jetty, where they were landed.
They took carriages to the railway sta
ton en- route for Balmoral. The route to
the station was decorated to m moderate
extent with banners, streamers, etc. The
day was holiday in Edinburgh and Leith.
Great crowds were early on the ground TO
see the Russian Emperor. The gathering
was very orderly and the town remarkably
quiet
The Prince of Wales, the Duke of Con-
naught and Lord Rosebery embarked on

Results of Saturdays Thunderstorna on
the Atlantic Coast.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Sept. 22.-The
heavy thunderstorms of Saturday did
great deal OF damage to ships that were
anchored in Gravesend Bay. A boat
owned by the Marine and Field Club of
Gravesend Bay was capsized at the pier
and the Arrow was also capszed. A forty
tve-foot sloop was smashed against the
Ulmer Park pier, and went down.
The greatest damage at Coney Island

in Sea Beach walk In the early part of
the storm the slide was lifted from its
foundation in several places, and was soon
a complete wreck
The most noteworthy victim of the
storm was the famous little half-rater

HYPSo7lzED F0R TWO YEARS.
Mysterious Disappearance and Return of a
Youth Who Has Traversed
the Globe.

BUFFALO, N. Y. Sept. 22.-Frederick
Gordon Rev, the Cornell student, who
disappeared from Ithaca in mysterious
manner almost two years ago, and who
was found in Ceylon recently, has returned
to the home of his parents in this city
For a long time after young Rev disap-
peared his father thought be was dead.
Part of Rew's wanderings were sur
rounded with mystery. He declares that
he can remember nothing from the time
he left Cayuga until he found himself on
board vessel bound for France. Aside
from these first days young Rev tells the
story of his adventures in detail. His
education enabled him to find friends
among class of people who threw in his
way opportunity for profitable en- pIoy-
ment, and he succeeded admirably in
learning French and German, his lack of
proficiency in which had worried him at
college and had indirectly caused him to
go away. He has worked hard since he
went away and has made money.
During all his wanderings young Rev
never changed his name nor endeavored
to conceal his identity. Before making
the voyage to Ceyion he visited several OF
the South American countries and Jamai-
ca. During all his travels he never heard
that his parents were searching for him
until he arrived at Ceylon.
He will return to Cornell on Wednesday
and enter the freshman class, as he did
two years aro.

ROLLERS CONFER WITH JONES.
SttreT Republican Leaders Patching UT
Matters In Idaho.

SttceT Republican Leaders Patching Up
Matters In Idaho.
CHICAGO, ILL, Sept. 22.-The Silver
Republican leaders, Senator Cannon of
Utah and Congressman Hartman and
Shefroth, were at Democratic headquarters
to-day conferring with Chairman Jones.
One of the subjects discussed was the
Idaho situation. The Silver Republicans
and Senator Jones are in accord as to
affording all the Democratic assistance
possible to Senator Dubois to insure mis- re-
turn to the Senate. The calling OF the
Silver Republican Conventio of Idaho to
meet again is taken to mean that an agree
ment has been reached to either recon-
struct or take down altogether the Silver
State ticket in return for the fusionists-
the Democrats and Populists-wlthdraw W.
ing the anti-Dubois resolution which was
adopted by their convention. The fusion
State ticket will then be the only one IN
the field, except the Mckinley Repu bill
can, and the way will be made as clear "a
possible for the reelection of Senator Du-
bois. The Silver Republicans and fusion
lists have been given Bryan Electors.
Campaign Committeeman Johnson said
he talked with the editor of the Mckinley
daily paper in Boise City when be was in
Idaho recently, and the editor admitted
that out OF the $1,000 votes which would
probably be cast Mckinley would not get
more than 5000.
Chairman L. a. Rossing of the Demo-
cratic committee of Minnesota was at
headquarters. He declared there was no
combination which could beat Bryan,
taking the vote of two or four years ago as
basis. He said in 1894 the Democrats
who are now against Bryan voted for
Knute Nelson, the Republican for Cover
nor, because it was choice of seeing him

licans would not make any gain. Then
the Republican silver detection must be
taken into account as a clear loss, while
the Democrats had complete fusion with
the Populists, On this showing he was
confident Bryan would carry the State.
Ex-senator James R. Doolittle of Wis
consin, Leo Bailey of the Indiana COM
mittee, and F. B. Hemphill of Tennessee,
also called to see Chairman Jones and re-
port successful prospects in their States.

JUMPED into The LAKE.
Fate of Edison Keith, Head of
the Famous Millinery
Concern.
IL Health and Political Uncertainty
Believed to Have Unset.
tleG His Mind.

CHICAGO, ILL, Sept. 22.-Edson Keith,
head of the great millinery firm, the Ed
son Keith Company, the largest firm of
the kind in the United States, committed
suicide by jumping inlo the lake at the
foot of Thirteenth street last night The
suicide was not made known until late
this morning. He was seen when he
jumped from the pier of the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad, but at that time his identity
was unknown. Two crews have since
been dragging the lake for the body with
out success.
Later reports show that Keith must have
suicided Sunday night or early Monday
morning. When Mrs. Keith tried to open
the door of his apartment On Monday
morning she found it locked. She sum-
monei her son, who forced the door. The
room was empty, but it could be seen that
the bed had been occupied.
Believing that mental trouble had over
come the missing man the police were
notified and spent all day yesterday in a
truitless endeavor to locate the missing g
man. This morning information was re-
ceived that hat and coat had been found
near the breakwater at the mouth of We'll
don slip. These were identified as having
belonged to Keith and convinced the
searchers that he had committed suicide,
doubtless while temporarily insane.
Physical i'll health and the fear of posi-
BILE troubles to result from the coming
Presidential election are the causes as
signed for his breakdown. His financial
affairs are said TO be in the best shape.
He was interested in many great enter.
prises and was considered one of the
largest capitalists in the West.

DISCIPLINE IN The NAVY.
Officers Deprived of the Luxury
of Swearing at Their
SubordinateS.
II Is Held That on the Seas the
Expression 'Tf You Please"
Must Go.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Sept. 22.-A Herald
special from Washington says:
Swearing at or harsh treatment of en-
listed men by officers of the navy is in vio-
lation of the regulations and will not be
tolerated. This has been brought forcibly
to the attention of Lieutenant Commander
Charles o. Allibone, executive officer of
the cruiser Colum bia, in sharp letter
written to him by Acting Secretary Nc
Adoo:
The trouble which brought all this
about occurred on the Columbia several
weeks ago. The first knowledge the Navy
Department had of it came in the form of
Dwyer, one of the petty officers Of the
Column mbia. The department was much
surprised to receive this resignation, be-
cause of the knowledge of the good stand
ing of the young man and of his fondness
for the service. Suspecting that some
thing had suddenly occurred to change
his good opinion of the billet ne had, the
department wrote to him before accepting
his resignation, requesting his reasons for
rendering it.
As was expected young Dwver informed
the department that he found life on board
the ship unbearable, owing to i'll treat
ment and abuse be received at the hands
of the executive officer. In detailing GER
tain incidents that occurred on board the
ship he charged that Lieutenant Com
mander Allibone had severely rebuked
him, swearing at him and otherwise using
harsh language toward him.
When this communication was received
at the department a copy was forwarded
to Lieutenant Commander AllIbone and a
request made for an answer 10 III charges.
His reply came few days ago, in which
he admitted having had some words with
Dwyer. but denying that he was profane
in the language used. His explanation of
what actually occurred was not considered
satisfactory by McAdoo, and he accord
ingly wrote him a long letter. taking him
severely to task for his conduct, and point
ing out that subordinates must always be
treated with consideration by superiors.
If Dwyer did not properly understand
his duties, the acting Secretary declared
that it was the duty of Lieutenant-Com
mander Allibone to speak 10 him in a
kindly manner and encourage him TO do
better. If there h had been an infraction of
the regulations which called for punish
ment of any kind, then the Secretary de-
clared the acting boatswain should have
been brought TO account through the
legitimate means provided by the regula-
tions.
