COMMITTEE is BUSY.
Arranging Accommodations for the
IA. of p. Encampment.

The committee on accommodations for
the knights of Pythias encampment has
begun an active canvass of the city, and
requests that those who will have rooms at
their disposal the week Of Aug. % will send
their name, address and price of rooms to
the chairman of the committee, E. r.
Seguin. The committee will try to secure
accommodations for 100000 people. 1t is
thought there will be little difficulty in Sc
curing sufficient accommodations.
The question of horses just now is worry
ing Horace Wood, secretary of the COM
mittee on horses. He has found that the
supply OF serviceable horses in Indianapolis
is much too small for the demand, and the
outside towns and farmers living in the
neighborhood of this city will have to fur
nish about half of the rumber required. The
committee has decided to make it's own
price for saddle horses during the week,
and has made it small enough SO that all
of the officers who are entitled to a mount
can have one. In other cities where the
encampment has been held the visitors were
forced to almost buy the horses, but this
win not be the case here next August
Those who can furnish one or more horses
for the week are asked to communicate
with the chairman of that committee
Representatives from Chicago and Peoria,
ILL.,, We're in the city this week making ar
rangements for three Illinois regiments.
They say Illinois will be better represented
at the encampment than any other State
Their three regiments will send about 1000
men, and viii want good accommodations
for the week. The Chicago representatives
said that If there was any danger of a
shortage in horses they would send down
what they needed from Chicago.
General Minshall of Cleveland has writ
ten that Ohio will come to the front with
5000 men. Colonel Randall, of Vermont,
writes that every company in his State will
attend the encampment. The committee
has had some trouble with men who are
soliciting advertising for a so-called official
souvenir programme of the encampment
The committee has as yet made no move
towards an official programme, and an
nounces that any representations to the
contrary are false.

AN ABSURD PROCLAMATION
BY Aguinaldo, the Leader Of the Phil
ippine insurgents.

London. July 23.-The Hong Kong
correspondent Of the Daily Mail says:
The latest mail from Manila reports
that the rebels have lately suffered sew
eral reverses and have lost territory
osuth of Malate. Gen. Aguinaldo has
Issued an absurd proclamation, dealing
chiefly with official insignia.
He, as president of the Philippine
ministry, is to wear gold collar, with
a gold triangular pendant, engraved
with the sun and three stars, and to
carry a gold whistle, as well as a stick
with gold handle and a tassel of
gold.
The badges of innumerable other Of
ficials are infinitely dealt with in the
proclamation.
Mr.. Williams, the United States con-
sui at Manila, has written as follows
to Mr.. Wildman, the American consul
at Hong Kong:
If the United States would be the
Suzerain and protecting power, Ag-
uinaldo would hoist our flag and look
to us for honor and emolument, which
would be liberal and lasting and would
be followed by the largest measure of
solid advantage to his people"

A DARING JOB.
Details of the Holdup Of the Santa
Fe Train Near Fort Worth.

Houston, Tex, July %. - Details of
the hold-up on the Santa Fe railroad,
near Forth Worth last night, show it
to have been one of the boldest ever
executed in Texas. The train reached
Saginaw about midnight. Two men
crawled over the tender, and without
a word opened fire On the engineer and
fireman. Fireman w. w. Whitmark
was struck in the head and breast, and
fell to the floor of the cab dead. En-
gLneer Joseph Williams was shot in the
left leg, and SO badly hurt that he was
unable to obey the command Of the
bandits to start the engine. The rob-
bers then threw the engineer and the
body of the fireman to the ground,
where they were afterwards found by
the relief force, and took charge of the
train, which they ran to within
three miles of Fort Worth. Here they
were joined by two other robbers. The
four men went to the express car and
demanded admttance, but Messenger
Howard refused to open the door. A
stick of dynamite was placed under the
car with a fuse lighted, and the BAN
dts retreated to avoid the explosion.
The fuse failed to explode the charge,
and before it could be fixed four officers
had reached the scene, and opened fire,
but the bandits escaped. Some seventy
hit. A reward of $1,000 for each man
has been offered, and several posses
are in pursuit The dead fireman was
buried to-day.

A CABINET CRISIS
Believed to be Near at Madrid-Confi.
dence Reposed in Polavieja.

London, July pa special dispatch
from Madrid says:
1.-The arrival of General Polavieja
has increased the persistent talk of a
cabinet crisi. The queen regent is
credited with exclaiming Thank God!
when she knew he was coming. Opin-
ions differ as to whether a semi-mili-
tary cabinet would make for peace or
for a continuance of the war, but all
are agreed that it would at any rate
put an end to the present invertebrate
policy.
Certainly considerable confidence is
felt in General Polavieja in the pres
ent difficult juncture.
"Once he should see that the game
was up he would not be likely to in
dulge in useless repining, but would
make the best of a bad job"

Ii eutenant Hobson Explains the Possibili-
ties of Raising Spanish Vessels - May
fave Three.
Washington, July 22.-About $3.50
o'clock Lieut.. Hobson went to tne
White House to pay mis- respects to
the President. Secretary Long accom-
panied him, the two walking over to
the executive mansion from the Navy
Department. The President received
them in the cabinet room. He gave
Lieut.. Hobson a most cordial greeting
and paid him a high tribute for what
he regarded as one of the most con-
spicuous acts of gallantry in the his
tory of naval warfare.
The lieutenant modestly acknowledge
ed the compliment Of President Nc
Kinley and quietly turned the CONVEX
sation to the object Of his mission to
the United States at this time-the eff
fort that is being made to save to this
country some of the vessels of Admiral
Cervera's squadron. The subject was
discussed at some length, Lieut.. Hob
son freely expressing his views upon it.
Lieut. Hobson did not bring with
him the report of Admiral Sampson
on the destruction of the fleet of Ad-
miral Cervera, but he was the bearer
of a verbal message from the Admiral
to Secretary Long that the report on
the battle was in course of prepara-
ton and would be forwarded in few
days. Concerning the efforts that are
being made to save some of the Span
ish ships, he informed Secretary Long
that two of the vessels, the Reina Mer-
cedes and the Infanta Maria Teresa,
would be saved certainly, and he ex-
pressed the utmost confidence that the
CristObal Colon could be saved also.
He is particularly anxious that every
possible effort be made with the Colon, as
he regards the ship as the finest of her
class ever constructed.
He is enthusiastic in his efforts to save
the ships, and declining to remain in
Washington for even day, tonight hur-
ried back to New York to take up the
subject of his mission with the wrecking
company. Secretary Long said tonight
that if the Colon could be saved she
would be- He was much impressed with
the statements made by Lieut.. Hobson,
and agrees with him that every effort
should be made.
Lieut.. Hobson will remain In this coun-
try several days, but as soon as possible
he will return to Cuba to pursue his work
on the wrecking Of the Spanish Vessels.

ENGLISH NAVAL PROGRAMME


100000 to . spent
LONDON, July 22-The eagerly expect
ed statement of the First Lord OF the Ad-
miralty, Mr.. George J. Goschen, on the
supplementary naval programme, was
made to-day in the House of Commons
He reviewed the original programme,
which was considered sufficient, when it
was framed, being based upon the two
power system, that the navy of Great
Britain must be equal to the combined
fleets of any two powers. But, in conse-
quence of the action Of Russia on the
same system, the government was COM
PEELED to present a supplementary pro-
gramme, paralleling the Russian increase
of six battleships, which Russia proposed
to begin in 1898. Only two battleships
were taken into account in the original
British programme, and the First Lord
of the Admiralty announced that he now
asked the House to grant four more bat
tleships (Cheers).
Continuing Mr.. Goschen said:
''The Russian programme provides for
four chuisers. We propose to build four
(Cheers) and also twelve destroyers. 1t
IS estimated that the cost of the new
programme will be $4,000 900 ($40, 600 0Oo)
making the entire expenditure tor the new
ships s15,CooOO0 $4,000 600. The battle
ships will be especially adapted for the
passage of the Suez canal"
Mr.. Goschen pointed out that her maj
esty's government desired Europe to note
that the proposal was not aggressive, but
essential to naming principle laid down.
Nor was Russia's action menace to
Great Britain. She had a right to build
such a feet as she thought her position
required
