 The First Ohio is a muchly travelled reg iment. It went from Cincinnati to Colum- bus, where the state mastering camp was situated. From there it went to Chicka- mauga, and then to Port Tampa There the regiment was loaded on transports twice, but for some unknown reason was dlsembarked, much to the officers and mems disgust. Next they went to Jack sonville, which was their last camp before leaving for Cincinnati

Comparatively few of their men have been sick, and there are only thirty of their men laid up now They have lost only two men since leaving Cin- cinnati, one having been killed accidental ly and the other having died from vaccina- tion. Nevertheless, the men are all glad enough to be going home again.

SONS OF VETERANS.
Detroit Selected as Next Place Of Meet
 ing After Hard Fight.

Omaha, September 14.-Detroit was this morning. after a hard fight by Denver in opposition, selected by the Sons of Veterans as the place for holding next years annual encampment.

 Not word has been received at the capi- tol concerning quarantine since the Florida state health officer, Dr. Porter, telegraphed to the governor yesterday declaring that there was no yellow fever in Key Vest Everything Is perfectly normal. and there is no public apprehension of any local trouble on account of yellow fever. Ala bama state quarantine against Florida re- mains very improbable.
 County commissioners
 Nearly one-half of the county commits sioners elected in August have failed to send their fees to the capitol and secure their commissions.

best and most honorable portion of the Spanish people,
 Besides espousing the cause of Spain's pretender Lord Ashburnham is the agent of Princess Palaiologo, who claims the joint throne of Greece and Turkey of Princess Marie of Bavaria, who aspires to the throne of Naples; of the Princess Lud- wig of Bavaria, who thinks she is entitled to the throne of England and of Carola, queen of Saxony, who would fill the throne of Sweden. The famous White Rose League in Eugand is an organization of his lordship's, and its members do not recognize any of the incumbents of the thrones which have been named. Lord Ashburnham is very eccentric, and a great portion of his wealth is devoted to what he believes to be the lighting of the great wrongs which are being executed against his clients.

The most conspicuous person in Europe just at present is Lord Ashburnham, the English representative of Don Carlos, pre- tender to the throne of Spain. The pictur- esque part of his lordship's character is that which has made him pose as the War wick of modern Europe. The vast amount of wealth which he personally commands makes Lord Ashburnham exercise an in- f1uence which is not unlike that of the hero of Cervantes, and which, it must be re- luctantly admitted, is strongly liked by a certain class of Europeans.
 His lordship of Ashburnham is a thor oughly practical man, and talks freely of his plans. He believes that Don Carlos is the rightful heir to the throne of Spain, and says his client lis the choice of the ~~~@S-|@--~---~-%-%@-S= -@-~----S-S~|7o~-~-~-S the broadening of the work in and around the city.

Judge Day Presented Americas
Demands to the Peace Com
missioners Threateningly.
CHARGED THE SPANIARDS WITH DELAY
The United States Will Neither AS
sumo Nor Guarantee Any Part of
the Cuban Debt.
The Surrender of the Philippines VIII
Probably lie Demanded Irrespective
of the Cuban or any Other
Deb;-Madrid Informed.

LONDON Oct. ls.-A dispatch to a
London news agency from Paris says:
Monday the conference reached a
crisis for the first time. Judge Day
presented the demands of the Amer
lean commission in threatening words.
He said that delay was the only pos
sible object attainable by the persist
ent efforts of the Spanish commission
ers to saddle the United States with
the Cuban debt and would be tolerated
no longer, as the United States would
neither assume nor guarantee any part
of the debt
"rhe Spaniards replied that this
placed Spain in position of repudiat-
ing or of reducing the face value of
the Cuban bonds from SO to GO per
cent, paying only half the stipulated
interest on the reduced value Before
they would adopt either alternative,
they would surrender to the United
States the entire Philippines.
Judge Day responded that the sur
render of the Philippines would prob
ably be demanded irrespective of the
Cuban or any other debt.
This, to the Spaniards the frst in
timation Of the intentions of the
United States as to the Philippine s.,
resulted in q whispered conference,
followed by q request for an adjourn
ment in order to communicate with
Madrid. Judge Day said that Presi-
dent Mckinley had instructed him to
demand the entire surrender of Porto
Rico Tuesday and the delivery ofevsry
town to the United States officers be-
fore midnight, tsgether with the evae-
uation of Havana on or before No
vember' l.. when the United States
would be at the gates Of the city ready
to take possession
There was no alternative offered in
the case of either Of these demands
and the session consequently was very
brief. The American commissioners
have received dispatches from Wash
ington indicating that the admistra-
tion is irritated and indignant over
the delay of the Spanish commission
ers"
