HASBR0UcK GLEE CLUB.
Public Rehearsal OF Tonight's
Excellent Music.

The nublic rehearsal of the Hasbrouck
oHee Club was held yesterday afternoon
at Hasbrouck Hall, under the direction Oh
Mr. Victor Baier. All the music to be
used at the graduating exercises tonight
was carefully rehearsed, and judging
from the result tonight's musical pro-
gramme will probably excel anything OF
the kind heretofore given.
Mr.. Baier puts his whole heart and soul
into his teaching and is especially success
full with choir of unframed voices,
difficult thing to manage. The Hasbrouck
Glee Club consists of about one hundred
picked voices, and the perfect harmony
of voice and time is simply marvellous
The first piece rehearsed yesterday was
Forward Gaily Together" by McBurney.
This seemed to suit the precenter pretty
well and not great deal of time was
spent upon it, .The Waltz from Faust's
was more difficult and had to be re-
hearsed two or three times. The most
time of all. however, was spent upon the
Medley This consists of selections from
1.-THE Idols Eye s'Circus Girl and
"Gondoliers. arranged by Mr.. Baier In
such a manner that each selection glides
smoothly into the other, making the whole
piece exceptionally charming and pretty.
THE Stars and Stripes Forever" with
words by Bayard Taylor. especially adapt
ed. was rehearsed with vigor the entire
chorus waving handkerchiefs during the
final verse. 1t is supposed flags will be
waved tonight.
The Star Spangled Banner" though
not on the programme, was also re-
hearsed. Another very pretty piece that
considerable time was spent on was the
'Thuringtan Wedding Chorus by, Macy.
OF course this musical programme will be
irtersnersed with ESSAYS sneeches etc

ATTACk|NG SENIOR SbGASTA
Madrid Papers Denounce the Pre-
mier and His Ministers.
PREPARING To OUT FITS JU6.
Accused of Opening Negotiations for the
Return of the Conservatives to Power
as Soon as Peace Is Arranged Be
tween the United States and Spain.

PARIS, Aug. 4.-The Madrid corre
spondent of the Paris Temps says that
if the definite reply of the United
States to the peace proposals arrives
to-day the Spanish cabinet will meet
this evening and officially accept the
terms.
The cabinet ministers, the corre-
spondent adds, believe that the agree
ment will be accepted by the country
without opposition and the govern
ment will not summon the corteS be-
fore autumn.
The newspapers are attacking Pre-
mier Sagasta and his colleagues, the
correspondent of the Temps continues.
They assert that the premier opened
negotiations yesterday with Senor
Pidal, president of the Spanish
Chamber of Deputies, with the
view of returning the conservatives to
power as soon as peace is arranged,
believing that the conservatives are
more competent to reorganize the
country. Senior Sagastas partisans
deny this.

QUIT IN FACE OF THE ENEMY.
Trouble in Massachusetts Regiment
Causes Six Officers Resignation.

BosToN, Aug. 5.-A cablegram from
Ponce, Porto Rico, says: There is a.
sensation in the Sixth Massachusetts
regiment, which is in General Garrett
sons brigade. The friction between
the line officers and the officers Of the
brigade, which has been growing ever
since the command left Cuba, reached
its climax Monday when Colonel Wood
ward, Lieutenant Colonel Chaffin,
Major Taylor, Chaplain Dousseault and
Captain Goodel1 of Company K re-
signed their commissions. The exact
reason which prompted them to take
this action is not at present known.
The designations leave Major Charles
K. Darling in command of the regi-
ment The matter has been fully re-
ported to General Miles, and a rigid
investigation ha. been ordered. By
military law to resign in the face of
the enemy means a courtmartial.

THE SHIPPERS TO BLAME.
Why the Wounded Soldiers Suffered on
the Transports.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Concerning
the unfortunate occurrences on the
ships Concho and Seneca that brought
home sick and wounded from Santa
go, the secretary of war gives out the
following statement, after a careful
investigation:
AT the time they left Santiago, the
general desire of convalescents to come
home doubtless overcrowded both
ships. From the commencing of tho
Santiago campaign until within fe w
days, the terrible conditions on that
coast, where our ships had no shelter
and alwavs with a high surf, made the
landing Of troops, supplies, ammuni-
ton, artillery and medical stores very
difficult, and there is no doubt
much Inconvenience and suffering
were thereby caused that were un-
avoidable. The lighters that went
with General Skaters fleet were lost
on the way. Two tows of lighters
were subsequently sent, which were
also lost, and it was impossible to get
supplies ashore except with the boats
from the ships and those supplied by
the navy. Later on lighter was fur
nished by the navy, which was the
only one there for many days.
lon account of the great number of
sick and wounded, which was in ex-
cess of what had been anticipated,
there was no doubt much suffering,
especially among the sick at Santiago
The captains of the Seneca and
Concho did not report to General
Shafter nor to Quartermaster Hum
phrey that they needed water. Had
they done so, of course it would have
been provided. Then also a large
number of civilians rushed aboard to
get away, and they occupied many
staterOOms that should have been
given over to the soldiers.
"No recurrence of such conditions
will be possible hereafter, and no one
regrets more than the secretary of
war that any thing of the kind should
have happened. The general COM
manding that army, the surgeon gen.
erals and the quartermasters and COM
missary departments have done the
best they could; but unforse cen circum-
stances, named above, prevented the
conveniences being provided that
otherwise would have been furnished.

SWALLOWED A HATPlN.
Baby las Pin Six and Half Inches
Long in Its Stomach and Lives.

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-Little Frances
Nelson, q years old, daughter of O..
Ns5iss,,r4,e. 5,s1Ieosi in ger
vile, WIS, while playing with a
hat pin and a half inches long,
few days ago, III son4c manner
managed to swallow it. The child
was brought to this city, where prom
inent physicians gave it as their
opinion that it was an impossibility
for such a small child to swallow
hatpin and live. But in order to
satisfy the parents they suggested
that the X ray be utilized. The child
was taken to a Roentgen labora-
tory, where photograph of its
stomach was taken. There, plainly
enough, was to be seen the missing
article. The glass head was down
ward and the action of the stomach in
its work or digesting had kept it up
to the top of that organ. The point
extended up about four inches in the
esophagus. The little one was con-
veyed to hospital, where the obstruc-
tion was removed by a simple opera
tion.

MISS SCHLEY SAW THE QUEEN.
The Peace Petition Was Presented to
the Spanish Ruler.

the Spanish Ruler.
NEW YORK, Aug 5. - A Paris dis
patch to the New York Journal saws:
Despite the false reports sent out from
Madrid that Miss Jessie Schley, with
her petition of peace, did not see the
queen, the American girl accomplished
her mission, though she was compelled
by the hostile populace to flee from the
city
The queen received her kindly,
talked to her and encouraged her, but
| gave expression to such words of help
lessness as shows how little power is
left to the sovereign of Spain.
Miss Schley was compelled to go to
Lisbon, although nominally under the
| queens protection. The first news her
anxious friends had from her came in
short letter from Lisbon, telling of
her safety and recounting her expert
ences, her reception by the queen, her
interview with the minister of foreign
affairs and her fight from the city
under the protection of the British
| ambassador
The letter follows: "When l was
appointed a delegate by the peace So
cieties of Paris to go to Madrid little
thought my mission would be so sue
cessful. From the moment | reached
the frontier the officials were very
kind and seemed to keep a protecting
eye on me.
Through the influence of the lady
superior of the convent where | slept
the queen graciously gave me a hear
ing without delay. Her Majesty took
my papers, read them over, and as /
explained that | required them to pre-
sent to President Mckinley, she re-
turned them to me the next day
through one of her maids of honor.
The queen told me she was deeply
touched by the resolutions, and told
me to go and see some of her ministers.
The queens maid Of honor, who
visited me every day while / was at
Madrid, told me that though Her Ma
jesty yearned for peace, she could not,
IN Difference to her ministers, appear
to be overanXious for it.
Acting upon the queens suggestion
to see soEe minister, l called upon the
secretary of state and received from
him the following letter.
The generosity and energy which
have prompted you to make this long
excursion to strange land for the
sake of peace, united to your intense
patriotism and to your love for Spain,
convince me that you will be power
full and beneicent influence in the
United States. The help of your

member. cannot riaglat fail ato do good

ENEMIES WOULD BE ALLIES.
Merritt and Augusti May Yet Unite to
Deal With Aguinaldo.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-Although an
armistice will probably be agreed upon
during the progress of peace negotia-
tions, it may be that the Amer
lean troops will have some little diff
fculty in keeping law and order in
Cuba and the Philippines, owing to the
attitude assumed by the insurgents in
both islands. The peculiar position of
American and Spanish troops combin-
ing forces against the Philippine in
surgents may yet be seen. If the
Spanish commander at Manila should
surrender to the American forces, Cen
eral Merritt would be obliged to pro-
tect the lives and property of the citi-
zens of that city.

SPAN|ARDS CUT THEM OFF.
A Detachment of Miles Men in a
Tight Place.
Is PICKETED UPON THE TRAIL.
General Roy Stone, With a Company of
Wisconsin Volunteers, Separated From
the Main Command by spaniards in a
Superior Position.

WITH MILES ARMY, Aug. 3-General
Roy Stone, while accommodating
northwards along the road leading to
Arecibo, upon the north coast, with a
company of the Second Wisconsin reg
lment, encountered opposition at
Utuado, where a small force of Span
ish regulars and volunteers had been
instructed by Captain Genel al Macias
to resist. e
The Spaniards refused to surrender
and General Stone telephoned back to
Adjuntas that he would push on, aided
by force of natives armed with
machetes. Before the messengers left
Adjuntas, where twelve men had been
left, a Spanish force was reported to
be between General Stone and Adjun-
tas, picbeted upon the trail between
Adjuntas and Utuado, in the heart of
the mountains.
As the troops have TO move in single
file, ten Spaniards could stop regi
ment of the advancing Americ ms.
General Stones messenger rode all
night.
In his advance here General Stone
met with an enthusiastic welcome
from the natives in the villages and
towns through which he passed. Wo-
men and children strewed the streets
with flowers and as he passed houses
and town halls flew home made Amer
lean flags. The enemy, then number
ing about 400, preceded him, and was
in full retreat for hours.
San Martin, the Spanish commander
at Ponce, who evacuated the city with
out orders, is prisoner at San Juan
de Porto Rico. He will be tried for

stOn.-The Spaniards are reported to

ally believed. In addition to the reg

determined upon, but the natural
strength of the Spanish position at
Aibonito and the character of the de-
fense works erected there necessitat tes
a flank movement. The turning move
ment was inaugurated to-day Crues-
day. when General Brooke landed
5000 men at Arroyo, sixty miles east
of here. From there he can strike
the military road leading to San Juan
at Cayey, beyond Aibonito. This will
compel the Spanish commander, Gen
eral Otega, who has great reputation,
to abandon his stronghold or be caught
between two fires.
1t is possible that second column
may move on his left flank also, in
which case the present advance on his
front will be shown to be only feint.

Settled the Havana Harbor Score.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-''The Maine
disaster was not mentioned in all the
long discussion while an answer to
Spain's peace proposition was being
considered" A cabinet officer made
this statement yesterday in answer to
an inquiry as to whether any claim
would be made on account of the
Maine. Commenting on this he said:
''In a way the Maine score has been
settled. Some will object because
nothing may appear in the records
that Spain has atoned for this great
disaster, but in reality there has been
an atonement, and the records are
strewn along Manila bay and the
Caribbean sea. Previous to the suit
for peace the question of the Maine
often came up at cabinet meetings,
and the ministers were unanimous that
money indemnity would not be de-
manded. Recently the Maine has not
been mentioned. This has been a pc
culiar war. 1t began in peculiar
way. The vanquished will not be re-
quested to pay d single cent of money
to the victors"
