CLEARED ABNER M'KINLEY.
Colonel Hecker Denied That He Was
Favored In the Purchase of Vessels.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. - Colonel
Heeker Of the war department was
further examined by the war investi-
eating commission. He denied III Wig
orous fashion the charges made some
time ago in New York paper that Alb
ner Mckinley was favored in the pur-
chase OF vessels by the government.
Only once did Abner Mckinley ap-
proach him and that was in reference
to water barge, but as the government
had no need of it the matter was
dropped. Colonel Hecker had no fur
ther communications. either directly or
indirectly, with Abner Mckinley.
The next witness was Surgeon Appel,
who was stationed at Miami, Fla, and
Montauk Point camps. He denied prac-
tically every charge that was made in
reference to acknowledgement at those
camps. He said also that he heard the
talk that Surgeon Seaman had with the
reporters on arriving from Cuba. APP
pei indicated the reporters. They cor
rectly reported Seaman.

PORTO RICO PEACEFUL.
Some of the Bandits In Jail and May
Be Executed-Vanderlip Made
n RepOrf.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Assistant Sec
Rotary Vanderllp. who is expected to
arrive in the United States from Porto
Rico next Monday, has made prelimi.
nary and informal report to Secretary
Gage OF his observations in that island.
Under date OF the 9th ultimo he re-.
ports that the military authorities are
getting along fairly well with customs
collections, Everything received has
been deposited with Deford & Co.,
financial agents of the government, and
the amoudt now on deposit aggregates
more than 100000. Spanish custom
officials have been put to work at the
various ports, and this system works
satisfactorily.
During the evacuation there were
more or less disturbances of a rather
personal and private character, but the
situation here now, Mr.. Vanderlip
writes, is as peaceable as it is in the
United States. The military authori.
ties have been especially active in cap
turing some organized bands of bandits,
and it Is regarded as an especially good
oIaen that the natives are rendering
ts4eir aid in terreting out these people.
A number of bandits are confined in
prison and they will receive civil trial.
Possibly some of these cases may result
in the execution of the offenders, and.
in fact. our military authorities are in.
olined to believe that if this sort of
punishment is ordered at the opening
trials little more of this kind of dis.
turbance will occur in the island.
The American troops have, on the
whole. been well behaved, and have, &C
cording to the testimony of command
ing officers, given practically no trouble
at all.
An endeavor has been made to put
the Spanish officials, so far as could be
done, back into their places, and have
the civil administration of affairs go on
rs nearly as possible in the routine.
The condition of affairs, it is stated,

HAVANA, Dec. t0.-The first United
States troops to march through the
streets of Havana will be the Two Hun
dred and Second New York regiment,
which, with band playing and colors fly
ing. will march tomorrow from the San
Jose wharf, after landing there from

road station. The line of march will be
through the Prado and Central park.
These troops will be sent to Pinar del
Rio province.
General Davis, with the general

mental headquarters, and the Second
battalion will be at Guanajay The
Third battalion win be stationed at
Mariel and the Higgins signal company
will be quartered at the city of Pinar
del Rio.
No objection has been made so far by
General Castellanos to the march
through the city.
Ii is intended that the first appear
ance of the United States troops in Ha-
vana shall have an impressive moral eff
feet upon the Cubans. A number of
Spanish soldiers gathered in the vicin-
ity Of San Jose wharf to get look at
their late adversaries. Friendly ges-
lures were made on both sides. The
Spanlards commented on the large size
of the American men.
Until further notice General Davis
will exercise the functions of military
governor of the province of Pinar del
Rio, now completely evacuated.
The correspondent Of The Associated
Press called the attention of General
Davis TO the fact that he would find
Cuban troops occupying Pinar del Rio
city and asked him what he should do.
"The authority of the United States
must be recognized as paramount" he
replied, but l can see no reason why
the Cuban troops may not remain or
gained as militia companies, though,
naturally, when the necessity for their
remaining in arms shall have passed,
suppose they will disband | have nc
apprehension of trouble"
General Davis said he did not intend
! to disarm the Cubans or to interfere
with them, unless that should be neces.
sary to preserve order
The Unltro States evacuation com.
mission has turned over to General
Greene hundreds of applications fo1
police appointments. General Greene
will await the arrival of Mr. McCul-

of the applications into consideration.
a committee Of Cubans called on the
commissioners to complain that Spanish
officers were tearing miniature Cuban
flags from the coat fronts. They were
advised by the Americans not to wear
these flags during the remainder OF
Spain's tenure of sovereignty, or if they
preferred to wear them, to ask Genera
Oastellanos for protection.

So A MONTH.
DR.. Cowden Yields to Popular Rate the Re-
quest Of a Multitude Of Applicants Offer
Limited to the Month Of Augustine Treat
ment That Cures Prescribed and Administered
in All Cases-Nothing Cheap But the Price.
What So a Month Means.

When Dr. cowden offered free month to all
patients taking up rs gular course of treatment
he felt satisfied that this method Of procedure
would cost less and result in more cures than any
other plan that could be adopted for the season
most favorable to the treatment of catarrhal dis
eases. That hundreds OF sufferers thought the
advantage of his generous offer. and under
this mild. curative method of medication.
1t seems that the free month method involved a
slightly greater immediate outlay of money than
was possible to be met by a great many people,
who were not only anxious to take treatment, but
whose cases absolutely needed immediate atten-
ton. All this has resulted in a great and popular
demand for rate that could be paid by the people
In general Furthermore. the knowledge that Or.
Cowden had for the past two summers extended a
$500 rate for limited period has resulted in his
receiving requests to that offer by a nunuer
of people which runs well into the hundreds.
There has never beer a tine during the three
years that DIR. Cowden has been established in this
city that he has not always been willing to accede
to what. in his opinion, would result in the great
est good to the greatest number. He the first
to establish this principle of practice in this city
and will always be the FIRST to meet the just and
honest requirements Of its people. With this great
object In view he makes the following offer and
given treatment apply at once. for two reasons
first. that they may get advantage Of all warm
weather possible and second to avoid the usual
rush ard crowd that always take place during the
last few days.

the regular soldiers at the Kingston bar
racks, but that Is not to be expected nor
would they be viewed in favorable con-
trast with the colored troops from the
United States who took part in the Santi-

would not be excelled anywhere in the
world, and it would be no discredit to her
majesty's West India Regiment not to equal
them.

Reading Yellow Hacks

Reading Yellow Hacks.
The train robbers who held up the Bur-
lington flyer two miles north of ST. Joseph,
Mo-, Thursday night are under arrest, and
a weeping. crestfallen band they are. The
leader, James Hathaway, aged seventeen
is a Western Union messenger boy His
pals in high crime are Charley Cook, Alon-
20 Otterburn. William Hathaway, brother
of James, and Herbert Doniphan, ranging
in age from sixteen to twenty years. All
are sons Of respectable people. These in
trepid road agents received the inspiration
which enabled them to hold up an express
train. terrorize the trainmen, oyerpower the
express messenger. and roll his strong box
out Of the car door into a wagon from per-
sistent reading of yellow-backed rom lnces.
At the scene of the hoid-up the lea Ter Of
thesgang lost pocket dictionary, upon the
fly leaf of which was his name. This was
found today by railroad detective. All
that remained to be done was to consult
the st. Joseph city directory and to arrest
young Hathaway who promptly confessed
everything, giving the names of the others.
After securing the safe and getting away
from the scene of the robbery with it, the
youths lost their splendid nerve, dumped
it out upon the highway. and scurried hack
to their comfortable homes in the city.
