COMMANDER BOOTH
Retires From the Head of the United
States Salvation Army.

Retires From the Head Of the United
States Salvation Army.
New YORK, Feb. 22.-The forced
retirement of Ballington Booth and
his wife, Maud B. Booth, from the
head of the Salvation army in the
United States, is announced in an
address by the Commander and
Mrs. Booth, giving at considerable
length some Of the circumstances
leading up to their withdrawal
from the army. The partisans Of
Ballington Booth say the secret Of
his removal lies in the fact
that he has succeeded in al
most completely Americana
ing the Salvation army in
this country. His methods aroused
the antagonism of little English
party, headed by Col. Eadie, chief
secretary, who came over from
England one year ago. General
Booth, father of Ballington and
commandments Of the Saliva
tion army, did not fancy the idea
Of the army in America breaking
away from English presidents
and was finally prevailed up
on to order the withdrawal Of
Booth. According to clause in
the constitution of the army, the
commander is absolute owner OF
all real estate Of the organization.
The building on West Fourteenth
street, completed within the last
year, represents nearly 100000
which Is decided to the commander
in his own name. He was busy
all day yesterday comforting with
his lawyers for the purpose OF
having all the property transferred
to his successors.

Spanish Dispatches Always Report Battles
This Way.
HAVANA, Cuba, Feb. 22.-Addi-
tional particulars are received here
from Jsrruco showing that after
the engagement there on Tuesday
Col. Hernandez pursued the insur-
gents until nightfall, when he
came upon the main body of the
enemy under Antonio Maceo. The
latter had taken up an excellent
position at Catalina. The Spanish
cavalry were dismounted and
charged three times upon the
enemy. Just before the third at.
tack of the Spanish troops, the in
surgents tried to set fire to the
town, preliminary to retreating,
but the soldiers were too quick for
them, and only few houses on
the outskirts of Catalina were
burned. Fifteen Spanish soldiers
were wounded and the insurgents
lost heavily in killed and wounded,
their cavalry positions at Catalina
having been occupied and they re-
ceived several volleys from the
Spaniards.
Col. Madruga reported that the
insurgents carried away 200
wounded. Since the engagement
dispatches have been received here
saying that firing has been heard
in the direction of a large stock
farm near Santo, through which
the insurgents we're retreating. It
Is reported that the enemy are
amazed at the bravery of the
Spanish troops, who are driving
Maceo's men before them. Lieut.
Col. Arminan has been engaged
with the insurgents under Serafin
Sanchez, at the Diamente planta-
ton, In the Santo Spiritus district,
in the province of Santa Clara.
The insurgents lost five killed and
had twenty wounded. The Span
iards had two mon wounded.

The College President Thrust Aside and
it Was Hot Stuff.
CHICAGO, Feb. pa dispatch
from Charlottesville, Ind, says
The celebration of Washington's
birthday, at Wabash college, be-
gan by riot in the chapel. The
sophomores released a flock of
pigeons, wearing tri-colors, during
the exercise and the freshmen i'm
mediately arose and began pelting
with hymn books, clubs and hats.
Both classes were yelling and
scrambling over seats, while Presi-
dent Burroughs in vain called for
order. The students refused to
listen to his commands. The stu
dents finally surged into the halls
and began class fight.
President Burroughs rushed in,
but was pushed aside and his en-
treaties drowned by the hilarious
yellS of the students. The other
members of the faculty were treat
ed likewise and all except presi-
dent Burroughs soon retired. He
stayed and endeavored to address
the students dozen times, but the
students paid no attention to him.
No Rotations were had during the
day. 1t is said a wholesale ex-
pulsion will follow the Chapel
scene. So far the students have
not gone to President Burroughs
to ask for pardon and the cases
against the classes will probably
not be called until Monday. A
private session among the heads
Of the college was held during the
day but what was decided on, if
anything, is not known.

A MORNING COLLISION.
Chinese Hickman Tries to DeraiI
a Carload of Stone.


A Chinese hack driver got himself
into trouble yesterday morning by
driving a horse which he either did
not know how to manage or which
was unmanageable.
1t was about 9:15 o'clock, and car
load of stone, in charge of six men,
was crossing King street on the track
near the bridge. At the same time
hack with a Chinese driver was COM
ing along toward town. AS it most
always happens with Cinnamon, when
the driver found himself in a close
place he lost his head, and had no
idea which way to turn.
The men on the car cried out to him
without avail, and it was not long be-
fore there was a collision, in which
the hind wheels of the hack were taken
off. The horse remained very quiet for
a while, but at last, coming to the con-
clusion that rapid movement was in
order, made a plunge, breaking both
the traces and the whif1tree.
The Chinaman called "Bosse,' Dos
see,'' which Supt. Fogarty rightly took
to mean himself. The Chinaman be-
gan to tell of how he had been unable
to manage the horse, and, of course,
there was nothing to be done but dis
claim all liabilities, so the Chinaman
has the experience of the excitment
as we'll as the costs of repairing to pay.

lated that we can send messages from
British Columbia to Australia at 81 a
word; the present rate we have to pay
is double that figure. There is no
reason why the 81 rate should not pre-
vail on the Pacific cable. l am famil-
lar, of course, with Col Spaldings
scheme, and it would be very good
thing for the Islands if the line could
be put in operation. Still, there seems
to be doubt about its contamination,
and it would appear that the Govern
ment should do something towards Sc
curing prompt and rapid communica
ton with the outer world. / under
stand, also, the intimate relations be-
tween this country and the United
States, and have been told that there
is an objection to granting any con-
cessions to a company not organized
and controlled in the United States.
Il have been told, also, that the OBJ
lection is based on the supposition that
with the close relations existing be-
tween the two Governments the Unit
ed States does not care to have Brit
ish capital control the cable. While /
am not familiar with the treaty exist
ing, 1 should imagine that with all the
ed States would lend material aid to
the furtherance of scheme that would
enable the Government there to COM
municate to it's representatives here,
or to this Government by the quickest
possible means. But failing in this
and it is generally understood that the
United States opposes subsidies, l do
not see where it would interfere in
anyway with the existing relations to
have a British cable. One man went
so far as to say that it would not be
polite to send official messages over
a cable not controlled by the United
States. Considering that but one Amer
lean cable crosses the Atlantic, and
that that line is not always selected
for the transmission of Government
messages, and again that we of the
of messages for the commanders of
American war ships at Esquimalt, this
excuse is hardly plausible.
''The Pacific cable is an assured fact,
whether it stops at Honolulu or not,
but it appears to me that it will be to
the interests of the people here to have
the cable, and as soon as possible.
There are great many people in the
United States, business men, who are
anxious to visit the Islands, but who do
not want to get away from the touch
of the commercial centers, even though
the touch be by wire. Every one of
these men visiting Honolulu means so
much money to the merchants. The
Pacific cable can be built, the entire
s 900 miles, within Is months from the
time the work begins, and [ am con-
ident that the work of submerging one
section of the cable will begin in less
than year.
