had TO be thrown into the sea. The mag
nificent military system of the United
States is defective in the Quartermaster's
department. There is apparently lack of
auartermasters who have a thorough
knowledge of up-to-date rail as well as
ship transportation. 1t seems TO me that
the remedy for II is to give instructions at
West Point in transportation. SO that army

49, and Cheap.
p LONDON, June 1.-THE Pail NAH Gazette
publishes dispatch from its special cor
respondent, now at Kingston, Jamaica, VINO
recently landed In Cuba and was captured
and subsequently released by the Span
iards. He cables among other things, that
the defenses of Matanzas have been great
ly strengthened, adding that a battery. OF
six heavy guns, unknown to the Americans.
has been completed in the east harbor. and
he says that similar battery, on the OPP
posite side, is in course of construction.
According to the Pail Mall Gazette corre-
spondent, the Spaniards are spelling for a
fight, and they anticipate that, after de-
feating the American fleet, they will invade
Florida, where General Molina has promis-
ed troops to put the entire population to
the sword.
The Spaniards, it seems, explain the fu-
tility Of Admiral SIMPSONS demonstra-
tom by saying the American Shells 'nota-
bly, those Of the Cincinnati, are detective,
adding that numbers of them have not ex-
ploded, and have not done any damage
ashore.
The country between the cities of Ma
tanzas and Havana is described as being
rich In cattle, abundant in crops and pro-
fuse in citizens" Continuing, the Pail Mall
Gazette writer remarks:
'Matanzas. q week ago. estimated that
It had -four to last ten days, meat for a
month, and plenty Of fish and vegetables.
There were no signs Of starvation. and
prices were about the same as in Amer
ica."
Concerning Havana, the correspondent of
the Pail Mall Gazette asserts that nobody
would imagine that Havana Is blockaded,
as there is a general aspect Of gayety.
When the American warships were sight
ed. crowds rushed to the seashore, jeered
at the Americans and then returned home
merrily.
| The city of Havana is pronounced to be
| abnormally crimeless. and the 10000 Span
| ish volunteers are described rs being re-
| sponsible men. well equipped and capable
Of overawing "the Cuban canaille." There
| In said to be enough coal at Havana to last
| two months, and Captain General Blanco
/ is reported to have limited the prices OF
| staple articles. to have cut rents in half
and to have abolished the payment Of in
| terest on loans. Nevertheless, the cor
| respondent adds, prices have doubled, .ow-
| ing to the depreciation OF silver. But the
lsnewspaper' man Is of the opinion that prices
will probably fall. lowing to the systematic
running Of the blockade, which is lnefrect-
| i've"
In conclusion, the correspondent says:

OMAHA, NEB, June 1.-THE so-called
national organization committee Of the
Peoples party. of which Milton Park, Of
Dallas, Tex, is chairman. and which was
chosen at the Nashville conference of mid
dle-of-the-roaders July last, about all its
members being editors Of the so-called
National Reform Press Association, has
decided to bolt outright and call al inde
pendent convention on September 4. at
Cincinnati, for the purpose of reorganizing
the Populist party.
The call was issued this evening as re-
suit of two meetings to-day. one immedi-
ately following the adjournment Of the
Populist committee, and the other held
during the afternoon. It was drafted joint
ly by Milton Park, Wharton Barker, of
Philadelphia, who is the middle-of-the-road
candidate for president in 1900. and John
A. Parker of Louisville. KY. secretary of
the Reform Press Association. 1t scores

REWARD FOR HoBsoN.
Resolutions Thanking Him and ,Au.
thofixing His Promotion Intro.
duced in Congress.


WASHINGTON, June r.-Representative
Underwood, of Alabama, in whose district
belongs Assistant Naval Constructor Hob
son, has introduced a joint resolution
rendering the thanks Of congress to Hob
son and authorizing his transfer from the
construction corps to the line Of the navy,
with the rank OF lieutenant commander.
The resolution follows:
That the thanks of congress and the
American people are due and are hereby
rendered to Assistant Naval Constructor
Richmond Pearson Hobson and to the vol
unteer crew on the Merrimac for extraor-
dinary heroism displayed by them In OBJ
structihg the harbor of Santiago. Cuba, on
June g. 1898. in sinking at the entrance OF
said harbor the collier Merrimac and
thereby preventing the exit Of the Spanish
fleet, which enterprise was successfully ex-
ecuted, notwithstanding the combined fire
of the fleet and batteries of the enemy.
THAT, in recognition of this signal act
of gallantry, the president is hereby au-
thorixed to transfer Assistant Naval Con-
structor Hobson from the construction
corps to the line Of the United States navy
with the rank of lieutenant commander
and to place his name seventy-ffth upon
tho active list of lieutenant commanders"
The resolution is now before the naval
affairs committee for action. The resolu-
ton follows conferences with the president
and the secretary Of the navy. Senator
Morgan introduced duplicate OF the Un-
derwood resolution in the senate. He said
the provision for the transfer of Mr.. Hob
son to the line of the navy was inserted at
the request OF Mr.. Hobson's father.
Representative Pearson, Of North Caro-
lima, who is an uncle of young Hobson, OF
Santiago fame on behalf of the relatives
and friends of the young lieutenant, to-day
requested the president to withhold his pro-
motion until Hobson's own preferences can
be ascertained. Mr.. Pearson. while at the
White House, expressed the belief that his
nephew would be exchanged within week
or so.
The secretary of the navy has decided on
the method of recognizing the services Of
Naval Cadet Joseph Wright Powell, who
| held a steam launch under the bluffs at
| the entrance to Santiago harbor under
the continuous fire of the Spanish batter
| les on both shores while searching for the
crew of the Merrimac. The papers already
| have been made out advancing Powell one
| year to the rank Of ensign and three num-
bers in that list. Powelrs promotion will
| be Immediately put in the hands OF the
| president, who will forward it to congress
| simultaneously with that Of Naval Con-
| structor Hobson, the hero Of the Merrimac.

prisoners taken from the Wetumpka jail
last night by mob Of 900 citizens The
prisoners were charged with numbering and
robbing three old people. two men and one
woman, and then burning the house to con-
ceal the crime. Four of the negroes con-
fessed to participation. The mob was COM
posed Of the best citizens of the county

The negroes were taken near the scene

night was spent by the mob in investigat-
ing the case One negro was declared in-
nocent and four adjudged guilty. Prepare
tions were made to burn the guilty ones,
but the militia was reported getting too
close to allow that, and the four were
swung to one tree. The militia from this
place was at great disadvantage. not be-
ing able to secure horses or wagons for
the purpose Of following the mob.
