delayed in transmission. Reports are
coming In from all directions of out
RACES committed within the Spanish
lines. Doubtless many OF these are ex-
aggerated, but the rumors Of massa-
ere at CIales are confirmed.
Some OF the natives there took refuge
in the beifry OF the cathedral and fired
on the Sanish troops, but they We're
overpowered and macheted to the num-
Der Of eighty. &.
Battery n, OF the Seventh regiment,
under Captain McCOmb, was unable to
proceed along the mountain trail with
General Henry, and having lost gun
and six horses over precIpice, returned
here.
The health OF the troops is steadily
improving. The typhoid fever brought
from Camp Anger and Camp Chicka-
manga is OF a mild type and Is fast dis
appearing. Strict sanitation Is being
forced, with the gratifying result that
sickness has decreased from 10 to . per
cent, To-day's reports show only $50
sick in hospita. quarters out OF total
command OF 1900. Most Of these cases
are climatic complaints.
The army Is being revaccinoted.

Last night at the city building, in the
committee room adjoining the mayors
office, there was secret meeting OF a
number of saloonists and butehers who
have made no secret of their dissatis-
faction with the recent advance made In
the price Of ice by the Wheeling Ice &
Storage Company. There was an air Of
secrecy about the meeting OF the seekers
after cheaper Ice. but their plans are
being generally discussed by large COM
sumers of ice. and are no secret.
AS to the proceedings of the meeting
little can be learned, but 1t is settled be-
yond any doubt that the saloonLsts and
butchers who are interested. have de-
elded to build on the cooperative plan
an ice plant that will furnish them with
Ice at cost or at a price not much above
cost. So far as matters have progress
ed, Il Is the intention to stay out of the
ice selling field. and attend strictly and
solely to the furnishing of members Of
the cooperative concern with the ice
they need.
In addition to butchers and saloonists'
who are large users of ice winter and
summer, 1t is said some Of the hotels
will be interested in the new venture.

from shGrpslIooters spattered about

wero preparing to make resistance
against their as yet unseen foo. II Is al
ieged by the Herald that Captain Bldd,e
gave the command Had this panicky
alarm not been given, and Ind not the
men seen their commanding officer run
ming with his back to the fire, they
would have stood their ground and
fought lust MS braHely as they did when

Captain Biddie, II is alleged, was
found hiding in culvert under the
roadway. When General Haines and
members on the staff heard OF the at

Hnines and his staff officers blocked
their flight md shamed the flying sol
CYicrs into turning toward the foe. But
as they turned they said: 1T Is not our
fault; we were ordered to retreat"
Captain Biddie, when brought before
General HaInss and asked for an expia-
nation. said: 81 did not order retreat;
the flight was aid the fault Of newspa-
per correspondent whom the men mis-
took for mn officer. He shouted: Run,
boys. the Spanish are attacking u.s."
Not only did Captain Biddle say That
n correspondent had ordered the retreat,
but he named the correspondent, AS II
happened, says the Herald. the newspn-
per man whom Captain Biddle accused

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 1s.-The Ameri-

ditohs. says:
1T may be said that the iron and steel
trade IS considerably better this week
than it was a last report Our local re-
port shows an improvement, and at sew
eraI other points prospects are much
more cheering. AT Philadelphia the most
favorable change seen for years is
shown in the spirit of the trade. Prices
remain about the same. but there is
general arming up In every direction.
Several furnace companies are out of the
market for months to come. and there Is
general feeling that large amount of
business in pig iron will be done during
the next two weeks. Bessemer billet
prices have advanced suddenly. as large
transactions were closed. The merchant
bar mills are in better shape than they
have been for months, and although
prices are low. they are not weak. skelp
has improved, and there is an unexpect-
ed rush of orders for merchant steel.
Structural orders are fair, and the plate
mills are expecting a large slice of the
big Australian order that will soon be
placed. At New York there has been no
material change. but trade is fair. The

THE NEW TRIAL NOTION

On Behalf of F. W. Reynolds will not be
Dropped, as 'TwRS Rumored.
There was a well defined rumor In Off
clal circles yesterday afternoon to the
effect that NIessrs. Howard and Hand
Ian, attorneys for F. W. Reynolds, In
dlcted for embezzlement of the funds of
the Guarantee Trust Company, and last
week found guilty OF petit larceny by
criminal court jury, would withdraw
the motion for a new trial and consent
to sentence being imposed by Judge
HuGus.
Mr.. Handlan was seen later in the day
by an Intelligencer reporter, and he was
very emphatic in saying that the new
trial motion would not be withdrawn.
Reynolds attorneys, he said, would be
ready to argue the motion tomorrow
morning before Judge Hugus, and. they
were confident there Is ample ground TO
Justify the granting OF the motion.

TO IECREAsE The NAVY.
Plans Prepared for Congress Provide for
10 New Vessels.

Plans Prepared for COnEreSI Provide for
10 New Vessels.
WASHINGTON, Aug. IA naval
program for presentation to congress
involving the immediate construction
of 10 warshlps has been adpoted BY the
naval board of experts to whom the
subject has been referred by Secretary
Long. 1t provides for three sea-golng
barbette-turret battle ships OF $4,000
tons displacement, and a minimum Of
lSh knots speed when the vessels are
loaded to their deepest draught, or an
average speed above 10 knots under or
binary cruising conditions; three first
class armored cruisers OF 1900 tons and
% knots speed; three second-class pro-
tected and armored cruisers of 5000
tons displacement and 20 knots speed,
similar to the Maine type, but highly
improved, and six protected cruisers Of
$500 tons and 16 knots speed.
The reduced speed Of these ships
which is uniformly about two knots less
than that proposed at a preliminary
meeting Of the board, was brought
about by the desire to secure unprece-
denied range Of action on account Of
the increased responsibility OF the
United States in the Pacific and the GER
taintV that these vessels or most of
them would be required to make up the
fleet In that ocean. The sacrifice Of
speed to endurance was made with a
view to securing vessels OF at least 5000
knots radius, or capable OF steaming
away from San Francisco to Manila
and Samoa.
The board decided that the Pacific
rather than the Atlantic would be the
chief theatre OF American naval opera
lions In the future. All the vessels.
however, will be as speedy as the fast
est vessels now building abroad, and
they will be emlnently more practicable
in endurance, strength and formidable
lily.
