HARRITY Is DROPPED.
No Goldbugs On the Democratic Ma
tional Committee.

Washington. June 6.-J. NJ. Guffey has
been made the representative Of the state
of Pennsylvania on the Democratic COM
mittee to succeed Hon. William f. Har-
rity. Messrs. Harrity and Guffey were
notified of the change by Senator Jones.
of Arkansas, who is chairman of the
committee.
The substitution of Mr.. Guffey's name
is the result of a poll of the national
committee made through the mail by Sen
ator Jones. 1t grows out of the represen-
tatives of the Democrats of Pennsylvania
who first, through their state committee
and later through their state convention,
requested that Mr.. Harrity's name be
dropped and Mr.. Guffey's name added. on
the general ground that Mr.. Harrity
had ceased TO be in accord with his party:
Not desiring 10 take the responsibility of
making the change himself, Senator
Jones sent all the correspondence bear
ing upon the subject to the various men,
bers of the committee. This was done on
the 18th of April last. All but three mem
bers cast their ballot and these three
were notified ten days since that the re-
suit would be announced today. Mr..
Jones declined to make public the figures
showing how the vote stood.

Iowa volunteers should reach here or
Wednesday morning.
PAY DAY FOR REGULARS.

Today was pay day at Camp Mer-
rift. Word was passed around last
night that the paymaster would visit
the camp today and that the long
looked-for money would be distributed.
The volunteers expected to receive
their quota of the coin of the realm
today, along with that which the regu-
lars received, but they were doomed
to disappointment. The paymaster Wis
tied the camp early this m"~ning and
took with him, besides several clerks,
$4,000. The paymaster and his assist
ants went directly TO the camp of the
regulars. The Twenty-third got its
money first and then the paymaster
visited the camp of the Eighteenth and
the Fourteenth infantry battalions and
the engineer corps.
The money paid to the men today
represents two months pay, one in
advance, which the government last
week decided to give all troops who
are about to depart for Manila. 1t is
expected that the Pennsylvania, Colo
RADIO and other volunteer organiza-
lions which are to start for the Phil
ippineS this week will receive the
money due them tomorrow

San Francisco, June 6.-Today Utah
has been highly honored again. A gen.
eral eourt-martial, made up of Is Of
fcers, includes both Captain Caine and
First Lieutenant Smith of the Utah
cavalry, and Lieutenant Smith has been
named Judge Advocate, the most hon
orable appointment at hand. The court
was in session all morning, and ad-
journed at noon until tomorrow, but
all the afternoon Judge Advocate Smith
has been occupied in preparing cases
for trial
The cavalry quarters have seemed
almost deserted today. All commission
ed officers were away, and large
number of mounted troopers were de-
tailed to serve under Sergeant For
tescue as escort to Paymaster General
Claus II. WhiDple.
The boys were disappointed in not
receiving their pay for two months to-
day. The delay is not expected to be
long, however. Most of the men are
entirely out of cash, and some are
sorely in need Of footwear and under
clothes, with which articles Uncle Sam
has not yet been able to fully provide
them. On the food score there is no
grumbling, the troopers faring well at
the hands OF Quartermaster Sam Por-

the number necessary to bring the total
from the present 81 to the recruited 100.

miral Dewey's condition They were
not seriously apprehensive of personal
danger to the fleet, but an impression
was gaining ground that the admiral
had not maintained the same measures
of success in his operations in Manila
bay that rewarded his first effort. The
report received goes to show that his
plans are working out admirably; that
he has succeeded in placing upon the
insurgents the burden of conducting
military operations against the Span
iards, while he himself is lying in en-
forced idleness, awaiting the arrival of
troops, and that he has succeeded in
preventing the corruption of the insur
gent leaders by the Spaniards, which
appeared at one time to be threaten
ing.
There is some speculation here by
anxious minds as to how the insurgents
Will treat the prisoners they have
taken, who are more numerous, it is
said, than all the captures made by the
Cuban insurgents since the war began.
1t was reported by cable, soon after ne
had secured the cooperation of the in
surgent chief, Aquinaldo, that Admiral
Dewey would see to it that thu i-sIr-
gents observed the rules OF civilized
warfare.
This caution was made necessary By
the terrible tales that had been circu-
lated of the barbarous treatment of
prisoners captured by the insurgents.
It is sincerely hoped that Aquina!do
will see to it that this agreement is OBJ
served in the case of the 1,SG0 prisoners
he now holds, for ii is believed il OIL
cial circles THAI the nations of the civ
ilized world will hold the United States
morally responsible for any great eX-
cesses that may be committed in the
Philippines as a, result Of our action
there. The navy department officials
declare that Dewey is not responsible
for the safe keeping and maintenance
of these prisoners, which is most for
tunate, considering the limited re-
sources of the admiral in the matter
of PROVISIONS.

EIGHT HUNDRED MARINES.
Troops Taken to Santiago ~ the
Transport Resolute.

Washington, June 6-The Resolute,
reported yesterday to having been at
Nicolas Mole, Hayti, for a brief space
of time, is not a troop ship in the
strict sense of the term. She is ma
rine transport and has on board 500
marines taken to Key West on the
Panther After lying in the harbor for
several weeks, suffering from close
confinement on board ship, the men
were landed and went into camp near
Tampa, where they were thoroughly
drilled. The Resolute picked them up
about a week ago and started for Ad-
miral Simpsons feet. The marines
were not to be used, as was at first
supposed, on board the fighting ships
of the fleet, but were intended to con-
stitute a landing force to support the
fleet in an attack upon any fortified
point which it was decided to capture
and occupy.
Now that the plan of campaign
against Santiago is understood to con-
template operation between the fleet
under Sampson and United States
troops under General Shafter, it is be-
lieved that to prevent confusion among
forces on shore, the marine detach-
ment, commanded by Lieutenant Colo
mel Huntington, will be placed under
the orders of General Shafter, to act
as part of the regular army for the
time being.

ONE TRANSPORT READY.
Expedition May Sail By End of the
Week.


San Francisco, June 6-The Zealan-
dia will be the first of the second fleet
of transports ready for sea. The work
of placing her stores, which began yes
terday, was almost completed this
evening, and little remains to be done
now before troops can be sent aboard.
The carpenters and painters have fin
ished their work and it is expected that
the first detachment of soldiers will be
sent on board some time Wednesday.
The vessel has been thoroughly inspect
ed and pronounced to be in firSt-clasS

most probable time for the start.

as yet what troops will go on the sec
ond expedition. The steamer Centen-
NAL is being thoroughly examined by

row. She has been looked over by
army officers, and they do not like her
condition at all The vessel cannot
sail as she is and he a healthy troop

nended several very radical changes

MERRIMAC WRECK.

Admiral Sampson is determined not
to allow the Spanish to remove the
Merrimac from the spot where she
lies. On Saturday it was reported that
they were working at the hull, and
the American fleet formed in line of
battle, with orders to lombard. 1t
turned out that the Spanish were not
so engaged, and the fleet withdrew.
Admiral Sampson had given specific
orders that Ell MORO, where the Mer-
rimac's crew are imprisoned, be spared
in the firing. Admiral Cervera's polite
assurances were accompanied by the
statement that Lieutenant Hobson and
his men were confined there. This
placing of prisoners in direct line of
fire is denounced by the American Of
ficers as a thirteenth century defense,
an act of incarnate cruelty.

San Francisco, June 6.-The Utah
cavalry is uncertain as to whether they
are to take their horses with them
when they sail. Captain Game said this
morning that probably all the horses
would be taken along as an expert
ment. If the horses survived the trip,
others would be forwarded. Another
rumor was to the effect that the cav
airy would be turned into infantrymen
and transported that way. There is
question about this. as men Who en-
listed for one branch Of the service

bility the cavalry will go dismounted
and horses be furnished to them in
