Boycott by Angry Brokers.

New York. Sept S-Brokers declare
they will boycott J. H. Deering, who was
authorized by Collector Bidweu to place
a stand in the rotunda of the Custom
House, with the exclusive right to sell
war stamps for the use of brokers.
Something like slO.OOe worth of STAMPS
a week are required for all the entries of
the Custom-House. and as the Govern
ment allows 1 per cent commission. this
means profit of s1oo a week to some one.
Deering is manager of the Custom House
restaurant, which belongs to John Reis-
enweber. Republican leader of a district
adjoining Central Park. The war stamp
stand costs nothing for rent
Walter Steiner, the son of one of the
brokers'. for several months had been
dealing in stamps about the rotunda.
carrying his Office in his hat, and had
made handsome profit.
According to the brokers, Reisenweber
or Deering heard of the venture and ore
OF them at once put in a bid for the
privilege. Several days ago young Stein
er was called into the collectors office
ana told that he would not be allowed To
sell stamps any more in the rotunda- as
Secretary Gage had given the privilege tn
Deering.
This reported action irritated the brok
ers and they quietly decided not To ma
troniZe the new dealer
collector B1dwelPs secretary. Mr.. Stew
art. said yesterday that the collector had
nothing to do with the change. but th II
an order came from the Treasury De-
partment. Deering. he said, had made
an application several days ago, while
young Steiner had made no request until
some time afterward.

WHY THEY HUNGERED.
Cubans Said to Have COnfiscated
the Unguarded Supplies.

the first army officers to land upon Gu
ban soil. and one of the last to return.
was in the city yesterday.
In speaking of the reports that the
troops were not supplied with food during
the fighting, he said that this was due to
the fact that many of the troops, on ac-
count of the extreme heat and the fatigue
of the forced marches, threw away their
haversacks, and that 1t was utterly i'm
possible TO get new supplies to such men.

case where he had unIoaded train of

luggage, deposited il and placed a guard
over ii, and a, the close of the day sent
back after IL. Where this was done they
were supplied. There is no doubt that
where the discarded kits were unguarded
the Cubans picked up the supplies and
made way with them.

Boy confesses to Murder.

New York. Sept. S.-Benjamin Rand, of
Newark, aged sixteen. was arrested in
Jersey City today for having attempted
to murder Thomas Poucher, seventeen
year-old colored boy. in Newark. Rand
told rambling story, and said a man
named Brown gave him a revolver and
told him to kill colored man. and that
he shot Poucher and saw him fall He
does not know the whereabouts of Brown
The police think Rand is also response
bic for the murder of Frederick Woods.

Waveriy with a bullet hole in his head.
Rand admits having been in waverly at
the time, but discIaims any knowledge

Price of MIX Advanced.

New York, Sept. S.--The Milk Exchange
of this city, at a meeting held on Tues
day, advanced the wholesale price of milk
to 81 a can or 21-2 cents quart to take
effect today. The advance in price is due
TO the scarcity of milk as result of the
hot weather of the last few weeks Dur
ing the heated term there has been an
unprecedented demand for milk on the
part Of ice cream manufacturers and
large restaurants, as well as for family
use. Although the new wholesale price
may remain operative throughout the fall
and winter, it will probably not effect the
retail trade to any appreciable degree as
the close combination among the retail
ers precludes any general advance in
price.

MINIATURE AFFR0NT.
Old Glory BOutonnferes Raise
Riot In q Spanish Port.

Mr.. ]. e. Rowen, formerly State sem
ator in Iowa. has written TO friends at his
home an interesting letter recountins his
experience In Spanish waters. He was
appointed consul to the Falkland Isles,
and this incident took place during his
journey thither. His story Is as follows:
Il will pass our experiences from Wright
garding delightful little scrap we had
with-the Spaniards in the harbor of Co
runna- l had been wearing a miniature
specimen of ''Old Glory on my coat lapel
My little daughter, Winnie, and little Jim,
my eleven-year-old boy. also had the flag
conspicuously displayed. When we an
ehored In the harbor the authorities, as
they always do, sent on board file of
soldiers of the coast guard. At the time
lot of bum boats, sellers of fruit and
liquors, came up A part of the men and
women came on board. When they sight
ed "Old Glory" even in miniature, there
was a terrible excitement Fortunately,
there was number of British lads on
board. one of whom had been three years
in Montana, and all Of whom were in
tense friends of the Americans in the war
with Spain. They rallied around me and
said: Stick to your colors and We will
stand by you. told them. one and all.
that all the Spaniards in Corunna could
not make take off the flag. but 1 tell
you things were getting hot. though 1
was cool. The soldiers were as excited as
little bantams, whom they very much re-
sembled.
The old men and the old hags who
came In the bum boats were gathering
arodnd us. and picking up missiles of all
kinds to be ready for a fight We after
ward learned from a Catholic priest of
Wisconsin. who was familiar with the
Spanish language and chanced to be on
the boat that they were swearing at us,
and telling of the torture we would be
subjected to soon as We were captured
We watched the angry mob quietly, but
before they attacked US the officer in
command had been to the purser's cabin.
and from there came a summons for me
to the officers quarters.
:" Those people will make us trouble
the captain said. and as special favor 10
me- as my officers do not want riot on
board will you not remove the obnoxious
flag?'
II told him / would remove the flag for
him, but there were not enough Spanish
on earth TO frighten me into taking it off.
| removed the flag in the cabin, and.
strange to say, my wife, who was on an
other part of the deck, had BEEN having
the same experience. At the time neither
Of US knew anything of the other. Mrs.
Rowen was frightened for the fate that
might overtake the children at her side.
When approached by officers of the ship
| and kindly requested to remove her
badge, she did so at once.
.Afterward the officers told me that
while the Spaniards were in the cabin of
the ship they were so excited by the sight
of the Stars and Stripes in their harbor
that if we had been on shore they would
have thrust their bayonets through u.s. -

Cost of the Receptior.

Cost of the Reception.
The remarkable feature OF the reception
of the District Regiment will be the
small amount OF money expended by the
committees.
The celebration in its every detail will
be spontaneously grand. There will be
no lack in any department of its arrange
ment, and yet Major Sylvester made the
happy announcement this afternoon that
the entire cost of the reception proper
will be less than $500.
This is due largely to the generosity of
the patriotic citizens of the District, who
have contributed literally not only of
their means, but of their time energies
and in other directions, saving to the
committees dollar wherever il could be
saved. in order that there might be a
large surplus TO be applied for the bene-
fit of needy volunteers and their families
1t is expected that the reception fund
VIII reach $4,000
OF this amount 81 eco has been appro-
priated to procure medals of honor for
the members of the regiment. Probably
$500 more will be expended for expenses
attending the presentation of these badges
Of honor next month This will leave over
1920 for the relief of the volunteers The
committeeman believe the latter amount
will be sweIIed by additional contributions
until the relief fund will be from s.. 600
to s3 500
The suggestion for the expenditure of
the surplus fund in granting relief to the
needy members of the returning regiment
was made by Mr.. Walters. Hutchins at
the meeting of the Citizens Committee on
Tuesday evening. Major Sylvester re-
CARDS the relief fund as one great, hu-
nlane feature of the grand reception.
The committee on employment for the
volunteers, of which Hon. Simon Wolf is
chairman, will meet at the Ebbitt House
| Saturday evening.
The relief committee, Mr.. B. II. Warner
chairman, is holding an important meet
ing this afternoon at the rooms of the
Board of Trade.
Care of the Soldiers.
An entire building. fully furnished, has
been secured by the committee on public
comfort for the care of the seventy-five
homeless volunteers of the District Regi-
ment. They Will be furnished food and
lodgings at this temporary home until
employment is secured for them and they
are able to work.
Arrangements have also been made at
