where they will establish headquar-

hospitality of Captain General

the use of his private residence at Rio

is imposing, and is making a deep
impression. The natives who heard
the news of the coming Of the Amer

show ng their pleasure, although th5-e
were 40 demonstrations. At intervals
along the way Spanish
soldiers presented arms as our troops
passed. At Cayey and at Caguas, the

CHAPLAIN TO BE TRIED

Washington, Sept. 6.-Joseph P.
Mcintyre, the chaplain who was at
tached to the Oregon, has been
charged with some savage criticisms
Cd Admiral Sampson and various
other officers, and with insisting that
to the officers and men of the Ore
gon alone belonged the victory
achieved over the Spanish squadron
He was particularly severe on Capt.
Robley D. Evans, whom he accused
OF cowardice. Apparently the navy
department has now satisfied itself
that the chaplain really uttered the
language ascribed to him, for it has
ordered his trial by court martial On
charges of conduct to the prejudice of
good order and discipline and unbe-
coming an officer. The chaplain is
now on leave of absence in Denver.
