THE WORLD AT LARGE,
Summary Of the Daily News.
WASHINGTON NOTES.

THE president appointed Napoleon
Bainsworth, both Indians, coal and
asphalt trustees for the Choctaw and
Chickasaw nations in the Indian terri
tory.
THE reports to the marine hospital
service at Washington on the 18th
showed that yellow fever in the south
was steadily increasing The officials
stated that the increase in the fever
list was likely to be continued till cold
weather sets in and this was thought
still to be at least three weeks off in
the region most affected.
GEN. GRAHAM was before the COM
mission investigating the conduct OF
the war on the 18th. He thought the
closeness OF the tents to one another
at Camp Alger was responsible for
much of the sickness there, together
with tho want of water for bathing
purposes There were no lack of medi-
cal supplies, but some of the medical
attendants were inefficient. Gen. Ora
ham also testified to temporary short
ages of hospital linen, ice and other
supplies.
THE navy department made public
the findings and sentence of the court
martial in the case of Chaplain McIn-
tyre on the 18th. The accused was
declared guilty and sentenced to be
dismissed from the naval service of
the United States. The case will un-
dergo review by the department
MRS. SHERMAN, wife of former Sec
rotary of State John Sherman, suffered
a stroke of paralysis on the 13th at her
X street home in Washington and was
in very critical condition. The stroke
affected her entire right side and in
brief periods of consciousness she was
unable to speak.
THE war department has unearthed
case of fraud that it suspects has
many parallels. A letter was received
purporting to be written by mother,
asking for the discharge from the
army OF her son, who was her only
support and who was very sick in Fort
Washington, Md. 1t turned out that
the letter was forgery. The writer
had planned the scheme to secure his
release.
NUMEROUS requests have been re-
ceived at the war department from
municipal authorities and enterprising
citizens for share in the captured
Spanish cannon, but as they are the
property of the United States they
cannot be disposed of except by act of
congress.
AUDITOR MORRIS at Washington has
carefully considered the arguments Of
the claimants to prize money for the
destruction of Cervera's fleet, but has
decided that he cannot and will not
settle any of the claims until they
have been adjudicated by the courts
of the United States.

A SECRET OF THE WAR.
schley Came Very Nearly Being Recalled IL
Disgrace Because He Did Not Locate
Cervera'a Fleet.

Chicago, Oct 1.-THE Tribune this
morning says: The one great secret OF
the war is out at last. Commodore
Schley was on the verge OF
being recalled in disgrace, and
was only saved by the kind
ly consideration of President
Mckinley himself, who refused to dis
grace a brave officer for an unfortu-
nate error in Judgment. 1t appears
that Schley left Key West with
the firm conviction that Ger
vera would go to Cienfuegos.
Unfortunately, while Schley was
guarding Cienfuegos, Cervera was at
Santiago. The cabinet considered
the case. The members were unani-
mously of the opinion that Schley
should be relieved of his command at
once and Commodore Watson put in
his place. The president came to
Schley's relief by deciding that, as the
blunder had had no serious results,
Schley should be retained in command
of his squadron, but put under the inn
mediate orders of Admiral Sampson.

THE national peace jubilee was in
augurated at Chicago on the night OF
the 10th with a union thanksgiving
service at the Auditorium. President
Mckinley attended and listened to ad
dresses by Jewish rabbi, Catholic
priest, a Presbyterian clergyman and
acolored orator. The applause for the
president was terrific and he had tC
respond to the frantic cheering, al
though the services were of religious
character.
THEODORE Cox, member of the New
York stock exchange, offered to be
