SUBIG BAY, PHILIPPINES.
May Also Be Retained by the United States
Dewey Has Made a Strong Recon-
mendaUiOn to That Effect.

WASHINGTON, Oct. dewey has not
suggested that the whole Philippine
group be re tanned by the United States,
it is said, but has called attention to
one very important consideration
which has seemed to escape general OBJ
servation up to this time, and which
has been laid before the American COM
missioners. That is, that with all the
advantages in commercial way pos
sessed by Manila the place is indefen-
sible unless Subig bay be also held by
the United States
This particular bay is, on the whole,
regarded as being a superior strategic
point of view to Manila bay and the
Spanish government has evidently
been of the same mind, for before the
outbreak of hostilities it was about to
embark upon an extensive scheme of
defen sive works in Sublg bay.

THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR MEET.
Formal Opening of the 9th TrienniaI Con-
claVe Midnight in Pittsbursh-The
Influx of knights is Great.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Oct. 10.-Not in the
history of Knight Templar conclaves
from 1916 to this day, has a conclave
ever been opened on a more beautiful
day than it was in Pittsburgh Sunday.
The sun, after having been hidden be-
hind rain-flled clouds for several days,
burst upon the awakening city Sunday
morning and threw his rays of smiles
and admiration upon the festival array
of streets and buildings, which made
every one feel that this was an omen
from the weather god.
The influx of knights, which com
menced Saturday, continued during
the day and up to midnight when the
formal opening of the cOnclave was in
augurated with the festival sermon
at the Trinity Episcopal church.
There was a congregation assem- bled
larger than this historic building has
ever held.
The first formal event on the pro-
gramme of the 9th triennial conclave
of Knights Templar took place in
Trinity Protestant Episcopal church.
1t was the official divine service of the
Knights Templar and was as usual
very impressive and largely attended.

Snanish Steamer Montserrat and Colon Are
Expected at Havana the 18th for
the Purpose OF Carrying Spanish
Troops Back Spain.

HAVANA, Oct 5.-(Delayed in trans
mission)-The American military COM
mission will entertain the Spanish
military commission at lunch next
Sunday at the Troacha hotel, VeGado.
The Spanish commissioners yester-
day officially notified the American
commissioners that owing to a hurri-
cane the vessels which were sent tO
Manzanillo have been unable to reach
there at the appointed time, which
will delay the evacuation of that place
by the Spanish troops.
The United States transport ResO-
lutte, which took special commission
to Puerto Principe, is expected to re-
turn here to-day from Nuevitas, but
at shutdown she has not arrived
Gen. Mayi Rodriguez, commanding
the Cuban troops in the western de-
partment of this island, gave a
luncheon to-day to the delegates ap-
pointed to attend the convention OctO-
Der TO- After luncheon the delegates
came to Havana. They will leave this
province tomorrow morning via Bata-
bano.
Various law points were discussed
yesterday by the joint commission,
which decided to leave them to the de-
cision of the Paris peace commission.
The Spanish commissioners were ques-
toned regarding the armament and
equipment of the irregular, pro-
Visional and volun teer troops on the
island. Regarding the artillery,
some of which is said to have been
dismounted, the Spanish commissioners
suggested that the ordnance be APP
praised and sold, claiming it was to
the interest of both countries to save
the eXorbitant freight and other
charges of remounting new guns.
The Spanish steamer Marie Chris
tine, which sails from here on October
10, will take over 300 officers and their
families, in addition to a number of
sick soldiers.
The Spanish steamers Montserrat
and Colon, which are expected here on
October -, will be the next transports
to carry troops back to Spain.
Within the next few days steamers

THE M'KINLEYS IN CANTON.
pose OF Attending the Funeral of George
ID. Saxton, Mrs. McKinley's Brother.

CANTON, O., Oct 1O.-The home COM
ing of President and Mrs. Mckinley
Sunday morning for the funeral of
Mr.. George ID. Saxton was attended
with most touching and pathetic
scene at the Pennsylvania station.
Many people were at the depot when
the train arrived and extended the
party silent but sympathetic and
reverent welcome
Mr.. M. Barber, the presidents broth
er-ln-law, was at the station with sew
eraI friends of the family and DIR.
Eraunfelter, who was called to take
charge of Private John Barber, the
sick soldier. President and Mrs.
Mckinley were first out of the car and
were assisted by Mr. George B.
Frcase through the station to the
carriage in waiting. As they
approached, the crowd with heads un-
covered and bowed silently, opened a
passageway through which they pass
ed Mrs. Mckinley was supported by
the arm of the president with the care
and close attention he always devotes to
her personal comfort He walked slow
ly to the carriage, his head bowed and
his face a little paler than usual.
The president and party went direct
to the Barber home, which is the old
SaXton homestead, and was the Canton
home of the McKinleys during his life
in congress. Mrs. Mckinley soon laid
down for little rest, and at 1880 din
ner was served to the family. Mrs.
Mckinley showed evidence of the suf-
ferings from the shock and of fatigue
from the journey, but bore up remark
ably we'll and was able to be about the
house
The funeral arrangements of George
SaXtOn were concluded soon after the
arrival of the party. They are to be
held from the Barb home at o'clock
Monday afternoon and will be private.
Rev. O. B. Milligan, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church, will oficiate and
the remains will be attended by Judge
George E. Baldwin, Hon. William A.
Lynch, Postmaster George b. Frease,
j. H. Kenney and Attorneys David E.
Smith and James j. Grant as paHbear-
ers. Interment will be in Westlawn
cemetery in the Saxton family lot
The train bearing the cabinet and
other officials from Washington to the
Omaha exposition will arrive in Cam
ton Monday evening, and about 9
o'clock the private car of the
president will be attached and
he will join the party. Mrs.
Mckinley, it is not thought,
will undertake the trip to Omaha, but
will be with the president in Chicago.
She will remain in Canton for several
days, and more than likely go to Chi
cago with Mrs. Lafayette McWilliams
and Mrs. w. A. Goodman, her cousins,
who are expected to be here for the
funeral service.
Sunday brought no new developments
in the tragedy. Mrs. George remains
in Jail and has seen no one but Mayor
Rice during the day. He was with her
for five minutes. She is to be arralgn-
ed at 10 o'clock Monday morning. The
coroner will resume the taking of
testimony Monday

The Cost OF rreeing Cuba.

The United States are certainly entitled to
retain possession of the Philippine islands if
tie peace commissioners so decide, fol-. the
cost of the war runs far into the millions,
and the end is not yet. The money paid out
reaches an astonishing total. To free the
stomach, liver, bowels and blood of disease,
however, is not an expensive undertaking. A
few dollars invested in Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters will accomplish the task easily. The
poor as well as the rich can afford it.

AMERICAN GIRLS FETED.
Miss Goelet and Miss Aston Courted by
Noblemen.

Donuon, Dec. 6.-The warmth with
which two American heiresses, Miss
Ogden Goelet and Miss Astor, have
been welcomed in ducal society in
Scotland this autumn has given rise to
considerable speculation from matri-
monial point Of view. They have been
feted and petted to an extraordinary
degree. The Buccleugh and Rox-
burghe families have both been paying
them noticeable attention and it seems
pretty we'll understood that the young
duke of RoXburghe will ask for Miss
Astor's hand. The duke, who Is the
eighth Of his line, was born in 1876
aad suceeaed his father in 1892. His
name is Henry John lnnes-Ker and he
Is lieutenant in the Royal Horse
Guards. Miss Astor Is staying at
Floors castle, Kelso, Roxburghshire,
the ancestral home of the Roxburghes
on the border, for the past week and 1t
Is not unlikely that she will make her
debut at court as a peerees. The duke
of Roxburghe's two uncles, uncle-in-
law and cousin, all married American
girls.

ENDS IN A DIVORCE.
Fond du Lac Couple Whose Connubial
Happiness Was Short.

Fond du Lac, Wis, Dec. 6.-Mrs. H.
T. Montell has been granted divorce
from her husband on the grounds OF
desertion. The marriage and court
ship of the young couple caused SEN
sation. Miss Gardner, the handsome
17-year-old daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs,
Gardner of this city, fell in love with
Montell, who conducted musical stu
dio, and gave lessons on the banjo. One
day the two disappeared and warrant
was sworn out, charging Montell with
abduction. The pair were found in
Milwaukee where they had gone to get
married by justice of the peace. Both
were brought to this city and the wife
was taken home by her parents and
later the husband Joined her, the case
against him falling to hold. After
some little time he was arrested by
the American Book company of New
York, charged with obtaining money
under false pretenses. He was taken
to Dodge county and when the case
was called, an error in the proceed
ings allowed him to go free. He re-
turned to this city, but the parents of
the young lady were anxious that they
should not live together until Montell
was able to support her. This he
failed to do, and the divorce vas OBJ
tanned upon those grounds.
