State House Property.

George Metzger, the retiring Gus
todian OF the statehouse, has made an
interesting report showing what the
state owns in the way of furniture,
ETC., in the statehouse. The total ex-
penditure Of the custodian's office for
two years was $61,081.03, which is an
increase of nearly $1,000 over the pre-
vious period, made on account Of the
extra session Of the legislature. This
amount covers the ordinary improve
ments, the repairs, janitor service,
except where state offices are allowed

 Admiral Dewey looked across the bay toward the city of Manila a moment and feckcd the ashes from his cigar. The young officers knees were begin ming te tremble, and the correspondent Eqsfs beginning to wish he had not been so persistent in his search for Q histori- cal utterance, when their suspense was broken by the admiral, saying with a quiet smile:
 Lets lock at the signal book for that morning. That will tell what l said
 The signal beck was quickly pro duced and this was all that could be found referring to the Baltimore:
 Please close up.'
 Soon alter Major-General Merritt reached Manila he began to experience trouble with the insurgents. Aguinal- do was not disposed to pay much heed to ,ne genraFs orders, and the general complicated matters more or less by endeavoring to avoid any clashing Of the American with the insurgent forces. The situation was becoming somewhat SJfa1EeQ when Geu6FdI MoE- ritt sought a conference with Admiral Dewey on the Olympia. The general and the admiral discussed the situation at great length, the former giving spe- cial attention to the question of juris- diction in the Philippines. At last General Merrtt put this question 10 the admiral
 Admiral, how far, in your opinion. does your jurisdiction extend on the island?'
 Admiral Dewey took two short turns on the quarter dsck before answering. Then he said:
 General, my jurisdiction extends from as close to shore as I can move these flatirors," pointing to the Ameri- can fleet, ito as far into the island as I can throw a shell"

CHICAGO BASEBALL CLUB
President Hart FaVors Phoenix as
 Winter Training Quarters.

A I6Jt6r was received yesterday by MT. ". L. Pinney from President Hart Of the Chicago Base ball club which is published below. It will be seen that President Hart is interested in Phoe- nix, and if the bath arrangements can be made the club will no doubt come i here. As far as ho.el accommodations 1 are concerned rooms will be reserved at the Adams and other hotels of the city for the players.
 The nata5orium at the Phoenix park improved with slight cost to meet tho desire of the president of the club. Shower baths can be placed in the rooms used fer dressing purposes, and with the heating apparatus already in use at the natatorium bC,h hot and cold water can be furnished, and with this done, there is no reason why PhOe- nix will not become the winter train ing quarters Of i,he Chicago club not only this wInter but for years to come. Five correspondents will accompany the club and all Of the leading sporting papers of the country will be repre- scented, the correspondents sending daily telegraphic reports to their pa pers respecting the condition of the players. This feature alone will be worth thousands Of dollars 10 the city as it will attract people here from all parts of the United States during the training season. The street car com pany can afford to make the bathing improvements required by the club, and the company should have the en- .couragement Of every business man in the city in this work
 The Chicago club contains some of the best players in the country and the training of the club is to be carried on vigorously with view Of taking the .pennant next season. There is an Cl0- portunity for this city to- get the club, and nothing should be left undone to bring about this result. The letter of President Hart fellows
 Chicago, Dec. 6, 1898. W. L. Pinnsy, Esq,
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 Dear Sir: l am in receipt of your letters of December 1 and ?. I note whaia you say regarding Phoenix as a training point. I do not doubt but that from financial standpoint, PhCc- nix can offer much more iii the way of an induccmeEt than Hudson Hot Springs; however, l am delighted with the climate and baths of Hudson.
 Am I to understand thao you figure our share Of the receipts from games
Arizona republican., 1898-12-11

would net the amounts you state, or do you figure the amonnts gross receipts? !? If so, what percentage of the receipts would be given the Chicago club?
 1 do not believe il would be well for our team to start out so early as the first of March: the championship sea son was exaended last ysar, the mum Der of championship games being raised from 132 to 154; this compels the season to open On April 15 and ex- tend to October E, with games almost every day. If a team starts out as carly as March 1 i5 makes the season . very long one, consequently l think it advisable for the team not to play before March II, if then.
 We should desire to stop at the very best hotel in the city; would want a bed for each man; do not object, how ever, to two beds in a room if the rooms are good size.
 The baths which l refer to are the natural hot baths but in Lhe absence of natural hot water, the next best thing is artificial hot baths. As the party would probably consist of twenty play CTS, the manager and five correspon- dents, the question Of bathing facilities is quite an important one, as the play CTS will all want to bathe at about the same hour.
 Would be pleased to further hear from you on this subject at your con- Yenience. Yours very truly,

] One Of the standing orders following the establishment of routine duty in ] ln5 fleet when there were TO more 1 Spanish ships to fight was one requir- ing all officers 10 wear their white uni ! forms.
 i One day a certain payma5ter named Martin, who is afflicted With an abnor- mally bushy growth Of red whiskers and a figure Of pronounced r0tundity visited the Olympia on business con nactad with his department. As the I paymaster E1ounted the gangway he
 was seen by Admiral Dewey, and a i frown gathered on the brow of the au- i tocrat of the feet Paymaster Martin
 was a sight to provoke a laugh from a ships figurahead. He was arrayed in i a dun-colored suit Of duck, a loosely woven undervest resembling a sweater showed beneath his jacloe- and on his head was one of those enormous cork heimcts with a circumference equal to that of an unmbrella.
 Orderly, tell Paymaster Martin ? wish to see him at once, said Admiral Dewey, and the orderly sought the pay master w.Lh grin on his face. 4 few momerss later and the paymaater, very much pleased with being accorded the honor of visiting the quarter deck, stood before the admiral and executed one of his very best salutes. "Paymasl CT Martin said the admiral in his chilliest tones, ''I think you are drunk.
 T beg your pardon, admiral as sure you l am net drunk-I-I am DOT fecly sob5r," s,ammered the paymas- ter, staggering under the blow his com plaisance had received.
 T still think you have been drink ing continued the little man in spot less white, flor 1 can't believe you would come aboard this ship sober, wearing such an Cutlandish unifoIm Go back to your ship, sir, and don't let me ever see another violation of orders like this"
 Among the volunteer officers of the army is a captain in a California regi- ment whose mustache rivals the whis- kers of paymaster Martin in it's bushi- ness. It spreads over his features from his eyes to his lower jaws and reaches back to his ears. While ashore one day the admiral saw this captain at short range and his keen gray eyes shOrs with unusual brilliancy as he tuTned to Q brother officer and quietly remarked
 Tt isn't fair to fight the Spaniards with that officer"
 "Why do you say that, admiral?"
 ''He is in ambush all the time" 7" was the reply, and the admiral's joke had circulated throughout the whole fleet before night.-Chicago Times Herald

causing the death of five men.
A four-story annex TO the Buehl Of

west. was set aflre from the top by fall
ing of burning debris from the Case
building. The annex was badly gut
ted. Part of the spire of st. Paufs
Episcopal church was burned and the
crowd watched the cross at its apex,
momentarily expecting to see IL break
off and fall. Two firemen were so bad
ly burned that they were taken TO the
hospital Another fireman was severe

incipient blazes started in the Wayne

OF These, However, $4,000 Are Troops
Whom He Cannot Trust.
Key West, Fla, June 13.-Blanco has
available In Havana $4,000 volunteers
and about 10000 in the surrounding
towns. They have always been mis-
trusted as to their patriotism, although
they have been the instigators and pro-
moters of outrages. and in case OF an
attack on Havana it is certain that they
would surrender after little fighting.
They are unfit for war and unframed,
their only advantage being that they
are acclimated.
Blanco commands, besides, In Ha-
vana province a contingent OF 25,00O
regular troops. including the guerrillas.
OF the troops not in the city of Ha-
vana, there are fully 5000 cavalry on
the shores between Havana and Bahia
Honda to the west and to Cardenas on
the east These are intended to meet
troops landing on the north coast of
Havana province near the city.
General Blanco, as all former cap
tains general has never had confidence
In the patriotism of the volunteers. and
hitherto has only used them as gar
risons on the sugar estates. They have
refused to take the field against the
Cubans several times and have threat
ened to disband. They have done this
not only for their love for Cubans but
through lack of courage.

GRANTS BATTLE PROBLEM.
A Number of New and Dificuit Maneuv.
ers Carried Out.

eTs Out.
Chickamauga Park, June 13.-The
event of the day at Chickamauga was
the execution of General Fred Grants
battle problem. In this problem were
a number of new and difficult maneuv-
ers and it was watched with great in
terest by thousands of officers and men.
The maneuvers were all well carried
out according to General Grants ex-
cellently conceived plan and the fact
was demonstrated that many Of them
would be very useful in actual conflict.
The battle began at o'clock and was
concluded before noon.
There were two columns In the forma-
ton. The first consisting OF the First
Vermont, Third Tennessee and Eighth
New York regiments were commanded
by Colonel Clark u Vermont and was
formed along the Vineyard road. The
second column consisting of the Four
teenth New York, Second Nebraska and
First Missouri under command of Col
onel Charles j. Bills of Nebraska,
formed on the Thedford road and up
the tirst till the two columns met, when
the struggle was begun in earnest.
When this was finished General Grant
threw the two columns together TO
ward off a supposed attack from some
direction which he was supposed to
have knowledge in advance.
General Grant was highly pleased
with the way in which the maneuvers
were executed as were also General
Brooke and all the other officers pres
ent. Governor Hastings and staff OF
Pennsylvania went to the park at an
early hour and spent the day witness
ing the sham battle, inspecting the
Pennsylvania troops and driving over
the field. They will remain several
days.

WARNED NOT TO SINK HIS FLEET.
Admiral Cervera Will BE Notified by Ad.

Washington, June 13.-The navy de-
partment has sent orders to Admiral
Sampson to notify Admiral Cervera
that if the latter destroys his four ar
mored cruisers and two torpedo-boat de-
stroyers to prevent their falling into
our hands, Spain at the end of the war
will be made to pay an additional in
demnity at least equivalent to the value
of those vessels.
1t has been realized all along that the
Spanish admiral, rather than permit
his fine fleet to be added to the United
States navy. might at the last moment.
when he saw that further resistance
was useless, prefer to blow ii up. 1t
was assumed at first that IL Cervera
cared to do this nothing could be done to
prevent it. Even now he may prefer to
send his ships to the bottom. and let the
country exact such reparation as 1t may
see fit. The navy department hopes,
however to convince him by the above
argument of the folly of doing anything
so rash.
