TROUBLE IN A REGIMENT.
Serious DisscnsiOns in the Fifth
Maryland Ranks.

There Is trouble in the ranks of the
Fifth Maryland Regiment and the mat
ter has been reported 10 the War De-
partment. 1t appears that there are Sc
rious dissensions among the officers
which may result in the disbandment of
the regiment
The trouble originated at the beginning
of the war, when the Fifth responded
promptly to the Presidents call for vol
untears and went into camp at Pimlico.
Col. Frank Markoe. a Confederte veter-
an was at that time the senior officer
He was one of the most efficient officers
the regiment has ever had.
The lieutenant colonel was r Dorsey
Coale with William d. Robinson as first
major, and Clinton r. Riggs second ma
jOr. Col. MarkOe, who had received a
bullet wound in the right hand while in
the foreground of one of the famous Con-
federate bayonet charges during the civil
war, made inquiry as TO whether the
slight injury would disqualify him from
retaining his command. He was Informed
that the wound would not be construed
in,o physical disability.
When the officers were examined the
medical report contained a reference 70
the injury 70 Col Markoes hand. which
technically rendered him unfit for mill
tary service. There was an understand
ing, however, that all objections would
be waived at the reques of Brig Gen.
Riggs, commanding the State troops
Great was the surprise therefore when
it was announced officially that Col.
MarkOe had been compelled to retire be-
cause of physical disability. 1t has since
developed that this action was the work
of a clique, of which Gov. Lowndes was
himself said TO be a member.
Gen. Riggs. it is claimed, refused alb
solutely to make the request for Col
Markoe's retention, Notwithstanding the
latter urged him to do So and that the
Government would be compelled to stand
by his report.
The officers of the regiment attribute
this refusal on the part of Gen. Riggs to
a desire On his part to capture for him
self the honor of commanding the gallant
Fifth. AS brigadier general he only held
an honorary office. with supervisory pow
ers. AS commander of Maryland's crack
regiment he would see active service and
have opportunities to win fame lin his
aspirations 10 be colonel of the Fifth
Regiment he had the support of his
friend, Gov. Lowndes and Adjt Gen Will
mer The line officers of the Fifth, how
ever, opposed him as whole.
When Col. Markoe was therefore forced
to retire, these officers who elect the
commander, decided to promote Lieut..
Col Coale, and they did So Then it is
said Major Riggs. a brother of the gem
eral, fostered dissensions among the men
after the regiment had gone to Tampa
Ihe charge was made that Col Coale
did not look after the welfare of his
troops, and that discipline in the regiment
was lax
Now that the Fifth is at home, there
will no doubt be an investigation within
few weeks. probably before the end of
September, knowing ones say The friends
of Col. Markoe are spelling for the fight

A MYSTERY OF The SURF.
A WOmnn's Strange Disappearance =
at Brighton Beach.

New York. Sept 12.-Police at Coney
Island station were called upon late last
evening to investigate the mysterious dis
appearance of a young woman from Jo-
seph Balmer's bathing pavilion at West
Brighton Alma Lindstrum called at the
station house shortly before midnight and
reported that her mistress. Miss Louisa
King, of No. Il West 127th Street. this
city, was missing. She said that she
had accompanied Miss King to the beach
in her capacity as maid and that her
| mistress had decided to go in bathing.
She had engaged room and bathing suit
from Balmer and had entered the surf
Shortly afterward she left the water and
joined her maid, who was waiting in ths
sand for her, and told her to hire a
bathing suit and join her in the water.
Alma told Capt. Dunn that she obeyed
the order, but that on returning to the
beach she was unable to find her mis-
tress, who had disappeared as completely
as though swallowed up by the sea.
Capt Dunn started an investigation al
once and ordered Balmer to inspect the
bathing house occupied by the young
woman and report to him what was
found Balmer went to the station short
ly afterward with an armful of a wom-
ans clothing, which he had found in one
of the bath houses, the owner of which
had failed to return
Alma Lindstrum looked at the clothing
and at once identified it as that which
had been worn by her mistress when she
entered the bathouse
Alma Lundstrum told Capt Dunn that
she had frequently made short trips to
seaside resorts with Miss King She said
that last week they went to Long Branch
where Miss King met a man named
Chamberlain, but whose first name she
did not remember hearing. She said that
she believed her mistress expected to
meet Chamberlain at West Brighton, and
was considerably disappointed when she
did not see him. She said that she had
never seen Chamberlain until she saw
him at Long Branch, when he met Miss
King. She said that Miss King was the
daughter of a wealthy retired wholesale
grocer and lived with her father in the
One Hundred and Twenty-seventh
house.
The maid is Swede, and Capt Dunn
had considerable difficulty in understand
ing her, although she appeared to be
willing enough to tell all she knew about
her mistress. She said that Miss King
did not appear to be low-spirited or down.
hearted, but merely disappointed when
she did not see Chamberlain. Capt Dunn
sent a teiegraphic message through the
police department to the One Hundred
and Twenty-fifth Street station to noti-
fy Mr.. King to go at once to Coney ISL
and to- assist the police in it's investiga-
ton.
Miss King carried a white parasol,
which she took with her to the beach and
left lying on bench while in the water.

home of William Culber, No. l29 Newton
Street, Newark, while the members of the
family were absent, on Saturday, and in
one of the rooms found a small iron safe,
weighing about 700 pounds. Evidently un-
able TO obtain the valuables in the safe
by opening it, except by making a great
deal of noise, the thieves concluded to
take yaluabes safe and ALL To do this
they threw all the clothing out of a large
trunk and placed the safe in the trunk.
They also tossed in a quantity of silver
plated tableware and the best of the
clothes and some other articles.
When the Culber family arrived home

was an Excelsior Building and Loan As

AGUINAIDo MUST FALL IN.
General Otis Not to Allow Indepen-
dent Operations.

The ultimatum of Gen Otis to Aguinal-
do that the Filipinos must withdraw by
a fixed date or the Americans will use
force, it being impossible for the Ameri-
cans to permit armed forces not recOg-
niZed as allies TO occupy territory sur
rendered to themselves, is approved by
the officials of the War Department, vino
declare this Government is ready to back
the demand with all the force necessary.
\ cablegram was sent to Gen. Otis yes
terday leaving matters, so far as Asui-
naldo is concerned, in his hands and ap-
proving his course in treating with the
irsurgent chiel Gen. Otis attention is
also called to the general instructions is
sued by Gen. Merritt, that all inhabitants
of the Philippines shall be treated alike
The Spaniards will not be entitled to the
American regime unless they accept the
right of the Americans to govern. The
same rule is to be rigidly inforced in the
Ease of Aguinaldo and his followers.
1t was thought unnecessary by the Pres
ident TO tell Gen. Otis that he must resist
any aggression on the part of the FLIP
mos. and that if AguinaIdo became
troublesome. he and his followers should
be excluded from the territory held by
the American forces under the protocol
Gen Otis has now full authority, as he
always had to eject Aguinaldo's people
from the American zone. If after ex-
pulsion from Manila and its suburbs Gen.
Aguinaldos troops give offense to the
American army, Gen. Otis will undoubted-
ly attack them and drive them into the
mountains.
Army officers fear that the Americans
at Manila will yet have trouble with the

Hamilton, is still retained at the Barge

vestigated the case yesterday afternoon.
but reached no decision, and adjourned
until tomorrow.
The members of the board say that
there are no legal grounds on which the
girl can be held, but hope, nevertheless.
to diSsuade her from marrying Hamilton.
The Rev. r. Francis Carruthers. of the
First Presbyterian Church, of Taunton.
Mass, and several other ScOtchmen have
gone to the girl and begged her not to
marry Hamilton Yesterday she was
taken through the negro quarter on the
West Side and the worst side of life in
that section was shown to he-, with the
hope that what she saw would make her
renounce Hamilton. The girl has eaten
nothing since she has be-II detained and
is weak. After her return from her trip
uptown she said she would DO anything
that the immigration authorities wanted
her to do. but she would like 10 see
Hamilton for a few minutes before re-
turning to Scotland Her request was
granted at the time of the hearing be-
fore the board. and as soon as she saw
Hamilton she rushed up to him, put her
arms around his neck and said that she
would not give him up.
Hamilton is rather an intelligent negro,
and holds good place with an asphalt
company. He is at present working at
Newark, n. J. When he went to the
Barge Office yesterday he was accom-
panied, by T. Thomas Fortune, editor of
the Age, and a young Scotchman who
knew Maggie Wood in Scotland. The
young man said that Maggie's sister was
married to a negro in Glasgow. Hamilton
complained that he had been unjustly
treated. and that up TO yesterday the i'm
migration authorities had refused TO al
low him to see the girl, and had told him
she was not at the Barge Office. He said
that as there was no law against his
marrying her, and as he was able to sup
port her, he would fight any attempt 10
send her back to Scotland.
Mr.. Fortune said that the authorities
were acting contrary TO law, and had
no right to try to intimidate the girl
and force her to return to Scotland He
announced that he would see that Ham
ilton had a lawyer on Monday to push
the case. and promised TO see that ii was
carried to the highest courts if any
further effort was made to influence the
girl.
The Rev. Mr.. Carruthers, who IS doing
his best to get Maggie to give up HamiI-
ton, said that he had come to New York
at the request of a number of ScOtchmen,
and would do his best to stop the mar
riage, but that he had little hope of doing
so. He said that the only legal ground
on which she could be held was the fact
that she had admitted that Hamilton had
sent her some money, and thus she was
technically an assisted immigrant Mr.
Carruthers said he knew her father who
was q prosperous shoemaker in Scotland.
