the good order and discipline of the navy,
during the delivery of a lecture In Denver,

mander William H. Drggs Chaplains d.
H. Tribou and T. A. Gill; Lieutenant Nathan
H. Barnes, Lieutenant Commander c. K.
Curtis and Lieutenant Commander J. d. d.
Kelley The judge advocate, Captain c. H.
Lauchheimer, read the charges and specifi-
cations prepared by the prosecution. They
included alleged extracts from the lecture
in which the chaplain is made to say that
Admiral Sampson reported himself within
four miles of the Spanish ship Cristobal
Colon when she struck her colors, in order
that he might participate in the prize money,
though he had nothing to do with the bat
tie. He was also alleged to have said that
when the Oregon went into the fight it met
the Iowa, commanded by Fighting Bob
Evans, going to the rear, where he stayed
till the battle was over He was also
charged with saying that the Oregon was
the only battle ship in the navy that was
honestly built.
Earl Cranston. of Denver, as attorney for
the prisoner, moved that the charge be
quashed on the ground that the remarks
were not of a scandalous character and only
such as are used frequently in the public
press and by the people generally. He held
that the statements charged could not have
affected the discipline of the navy. He also
argued that there was no denial of the al
legged statements and no charge of malicious
intent, and that the charges Of fraud in
the building of vessels were against con-
tractors and not against the naval depart
ment. Judge Advocate Lauchheimer re-
piled briefly, and the court denied the mo-
ton to quash. The prisoner then entered
plea of not guilty, and the court adjourned
till 10 O'clock Tomorrow.

Of representatives of Cuba have signed the
following document, a copy of which has
been forwarded to Washington:
Resolved, That we submit ourselves
without reserve, to the events which are
being consummated in the REIMBURSEMENT
of Spain's authority and jurisdiction over
the Island of Cuba, accepting them as final
and swearing allegiance to the new polti-
cal status to defend within the limits of
that status the absolute independence cf
the Island of Cuba; to foster and encour-
age all movements which may have for
their purpose the re-establishment of
friendly relations between Cubans and
Spaniards; to recommend to all Autono-
mists the cordial Endorsement of our plat
form and that they should take an active
part in the politics of the island. but with
out attempting or pretending to exercise a
controlling influence or power in the man
agement of political affairs. which logi-

Agoncillo discredited the report that
France had promised to recognize the Phil

hopes of independence were with President
Mckinley and the government of the United
States.
General Greene refused to talk as to the
nature of his report to President McKin-
ley, but expressed very high opinion of
the Philippines as men and fighters. The in
habitants of the islands, he says, are super
ior in every way to the Cubans or to the
North American Indians, and once they are
freed from Spanish oppression have a mag
nificent future before them. General Greene
and Senor Agoncillo left for Washington
later in the day over the Pennsylvania road.

CUBA MAY BE FREE NEW YEARS.
Spaniards Are Expected to Evacuate
the Island by Jan. 4.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-Commander
Eaton, of the Resolute, has been given ad-
ditional duty in connection with the Ameri-
can military commission at Havana The
exact need for this is not known at the
Navy Department, the order having been
made at the request of the commission, but
it is supposed that Admiral Sampson wishes
the officer to make an examination of the
ST. lnish naval properties scattered among
the various Cuban ports outside of Havana.
The naval authorities are deeply concerned
as to the disposition of this property to be
made by the commission, and owing to it's
peculiar status. being not captured. yet
actually subject to the disposal of the COM
mission, it is not easy for them to foresee
the outcome of the commissions delibera-
tions on this point.
Nothing has been heard from the commits
sion itself since the cabegram of yesterday
relative to the Comal. The authorities here
feel that by consenting to the entry of the
vessel with food supplies the Spanish Off
cials in large measure rid the question
of evacuation of the urgency that attached
to it. So long as the Cubans, starving and
naked, were denied the relief that might
come to them from the United States gov
ernment and the Red Cross, there was a
powerful reason for insisting on the i'm
mediate evacuation of Cuba by the Spanish
government officials in order that, taking
possession ourselves. we might succor the
distressed Cubans. Now, however, that our
government is free to do this under existing
conditions, there is not the same necessity
for haste and the War Department will not
be obliged to force American troops in num-
bers into Cuba in the very worst part of the
season, so far as health conditions are con-
cerned. The daily reports that come to the
department from Santiago make it apparent
that even among the immune regiments,
made up as some of them are of negroes,
supposed to be almost exempt from attacks
of climatic fevers, much sickness prevails
ordinary troops would suffer more were they
now sent into Cuba. Therefore. while the
American and Spanish commissioners at
Havana are still seeking to reach an agree
ment as to the time to be allowed for
evacuating the island it may be said that
the President expects that the result will
be n compromise between the dates men
toned on each side and that the movement
will begin towards the latter part of October
and be concluded soon after New Years
This will accord very we'll with the plans of
the War Department as it will enable it TO
avoid sending to Cuba any considerable
number of soldiers until the healthy season
is we'll under way
II is the present purpose to make the
replacement of the Spanish forces in detail,
not sending over any large expedition. but
establishing garrison at one point after

HAVANA, Sept. 26-At o'clock this
morning the official exhumation of the re-
mains of Columbus took place in the pres
ence of General Blanco, Secretary Gown.
the Civil Governor, the bishop, the dean of
the cathedral and other authorities. The
general public was ordered out of the cathe-
dral at o'clock and no one was allowed
inside after that hour. The entrance to the
cathedral was guarded by the civil guard,
which kept back the crowds which assem-
bled in front of the edifice.
The remains of Christopher Columbus
have lain in their last resting place since
JAM 10, 1896, when they were brought from
Santo Domingo, that island having been
ceded to France by Spain. Since the date
mentioned the remains have lain in an open
niche in the wall of the presbytery of the
cathedral, a yard and a half above the
ground, between a pillar supporting the
main arch and the choir. In 1892 there was
placed in front of the niche slab, Of
doubtful artistic taste, representing in re-
lief a bust of the great admiral and bearing
this inscription in Spanish:
May the remains and image of the great
Columbus lie a thousand centuries pre-
served in this urn and in the remembrance
of our nation
After the four hundredth anniversary of
the discovery of the new world by Colum-
bus, the Spanish Cortes included in the
Cuban budget large sums for the purpose
of erecting a fitting monument symbolizing
the travels of the discoverer, to be placed
in the most conspicuous place in Havana,
and the construction of a mausoleum to
hold his ashes. This mausoleum, the work
of the Spanish sculptor Melida, was
brought to Havana and placed upon base
erected in the center aisle of the cathedral,
close to the main door. The monument, the
work on which was intrusted to the Sculp-
tor Susillo, has not come and probably
never will come to Havana. 1t was to have
been paid for by an appropriation included
in the budget of the island, but circum-
stances have overturned the plans made on
the occasion of the celebration of the four
hundredth anniversary of the discovery of
America, and it is probable that both the
monument and the mausoleum will be
placed in a fitting place in Spain, where
they will be looked upon as one Of the
treasures of the Spanish nation.
The ashes were deposited in a zinc case,
which was placed in the sacristy of the
cathedral, and a permanent guard was es-
tablished to watch them. Public religious
services will be held shortly.

GOMEZ APPEALS FOR AID.
Insurgents in Santa Clara PrOvinc
Said to Be Starving.


NEW YORK, Sept 26.-Telegrams were
received at the Cuban Junto last night from
commissioners who arrived at Key West,
says the Press correspondent at Washing
ton, sent to this country by General Gomez,
the Cuban insurgent leader. These tele-
grams depict the situation in the province
of Santa Clara as most critical. The Cuban
army is said to be starving. The vegetables
are almost gone. and the last mules and
horses have been killed to feed the sick.
The children and old people are said to be
dying by dozens every day. The general ap-
peals for aid, and says his men are des-
perate. The Spanish are doing all they can
to make the insurgent situation more terri
BILE. 1t is feared that serious results may
arise from this. and the Cubans cannot be
blamed if they are forced to take the neces-
saries of life. This they can do by captur-
ing town, but the Cubans have pledged
themselves not to violate the armistice, and
they therefore appeal to the United States
in order to avoid a conflict.
