! Raising of Infanta Maria Teresa.
PLAYA DEL ESTE, Sept 26.--The
wrecking company engaged under Lieu

the Spanish warships have succeeded in

cruiser was taken in tow by the Po-
tomac and conveyed by the cruiser
Newark, the Scorpion and the Alvar-
ado, proceeded for Guantanamo bay,
where she arrived last night. The sue
cessful attempt to raise her was greeted
with the blowing Of whistles, firing the
national salute and cheering, in which
the Cubans joined. OF Siboney the
barometer and the wind indicated the
approach of a hurricane, and the towing
power was increased. The Newark,
under Captain Goodrich, rendered valu-
able assistance in the work of saving
the cruiser. The cruiser is beng put in
condition for her trip north by the re-
pair ship Vulcan. /.
The floating of the Infanta Maria
Teresa is a signal triumph for Lieuten-
ant Hobson. On Sept. Commodore
Watson, who had been directed to ex-
anime the condition OF the Colon and
the Teresa, reported to the navy de-
parsment that, IL his opinion. the Colon

ton of cents ON wheat and cents on
corn shipped from Kansas City to the
gulf seaboard, making the rate to New
Orleans or Galveston 16 cents on either
commodity. The action of the Santa
Fe in making similar rates from Kansas
points to Chicago and Galveston was
the cause of the cut. The Santa Fe
rate, however, does not apply from
Kansas City to Galveston.

CUBANS EAT PACK MULES.

Extreme Distress In and About Tampa
and Among Gomez Men
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Senor Rivera,
the Cuban subagent at Tampa, has been
visiting Secretary Quesada of the Cuban
delegation here for several days. He
beings word of extreme distress among
the Cubans in and about Tampa. He
says about 5000 of them are anxious to
return to Cuba and begin work, but
they are destitute and unable to make
the move.
Secretary Quesada receives similar
reports concerning the condition Of
General Gomez men. A telegram from
Key West announces the arrival there
of a commission from Gomez with a
view to securing assistance. The dis
patch states that the army is literally
starving to death, that the pack mules
have been killed and eaten until there
is no further meat from this direction
and that the people are wellnigh des-
perate.
The children and old people are said
to be dying by the dozens every day.
General Gomez appeals for aid and says
his men are desperate. The Spanish
are doing all they can to make the in
surgents' situation more terrible. It is
feared that serious results may arise
from this and the Cubans cannot be
blamed if they are forced to take the
necessaries Of life. This they can do by
capturing town, but the Cubans have
pladCed themselves not TO Violate the
armistice, and they, therefore, appeal to
the United States in order to avoid a
conflict.

LOVING CUP For DEWEY.
To BE Presented to the Admiral by Gin
cinnati Business Men.

To BE Presented to the Admiral by Gin
cinnat; Business Men.
| CINCINNATI, Sept. 27.-The Piccadilly
club OF this city, an organization of
Leading business men, had on exhibition
at their meeting last night the loving
cup which the executive committee has
provided to be presented to Rear Adj
mlral George Dewey. Taking advan-
tage of the return of the Sixth infantry
to Cincinnati, the club invited the Off
GERS OF that regiment to attend as guests
and the dinner was made thorough
patriotic rejoicing over the glory of the
army and the navy. The Piccadilly
club was in session in May when the
news of Manila was received and it
then ordered cup to be made. The
design adopted was by Mr.. Artus Van
briggle of this city. The base repre-
sents the ocean, out of which rises Nep-
tune bearing instead Of his trident,
six-inch shell. Above this, in strong
relief, is Mars, then Victory with her
laurel wreath, and surmounting the
edge of the cup rises Fame, bearing the
palm for Victory. The motto inscribed
IS simply, Dewey, Manila, May /,
Aug. IL, 1898" The cup is to be ac-
companied by letter of congratulation
signed by the members of the club.
Very little speech making was in
dulged in, but Colonel Egbert of the
Sixth infantry, said his regiment had re-
versed the military rule which prescribes
that an entrenched enemy must first be
preached by artillery and then assaulted
by infantry or suffer annihilation. The
Sixth and its companion regiments at
San Juan hill assaulted without artillery
and drove the enemy. Captain Kenyon,
who had the honor being among the
first to plant our banner on San Juan
hill, said he had but two orders in that
battle from Colonel Egbert. The first
was to move forward. After he had
moved q long way forward, the second
order came. 1t also was to move for
ward. These words were now the motto
Of the regiment.
Senator Foraker reused the widest
enthusiasm by ringing speech. in
which he spoke of the great glory of the
navy and of the surprising achieve
ments of the army. He was warmly APP
plauded when he said we We're hereafter
to have larger army and an increased
navy. He made the assertion that if the
regular army had been kept up to the
strength of hundred thousand from the
close of the civil war till now the cost
would have been fully repaid by the
effective work it could have done in this
war.
