cned with dungeon cell Thursday after
noon, but he managed to explain matters

an and escaped. Mr.. Fleishman purchased
q toy cannon for his little son, Harold, and,

sion to fire the weapon in the back yard of
the childs home, corner of Pearl and Or
ange streets. Thursday the cannon was
discharged, and the noise aroused the
neighborhood. officer Holleran visited the
place and informed Mr.. Fleishman that he
had violated an ordinance. The latter ad-
mitted this to be true, but explained that
he had received permission from Chief
Glass to fire the cannon. Officer Holleran
observed that unless a written permission
could be produced the offender would have

THE OSHKOSH STRIKE
City Under Martial Law-Troops Will
Control the MoH

OSHKOSH, Wis, June A.-This city is in
a fever of excitement. Military have ar
rived from Milwaukee and their presence
has added to the tension, but it prevented
another outbreak. The strikers had planned
an attack on the factory of the Paine Lum-
Der Company today, but when they reached
the grounds soldiers stood ready to receive
them and the mob faded The casualties in
yesterdays fighting aggregated nine nom
union men more or less disabled. One man,
10 years DID, who was at work in factory,
had his arm broken, and another Is not ex-
pected to live. The only one killed was a
striker named James Morris, who was try
ing to force his way into the McMillen
grounds and was struck on the head by an
engineer employed in the mill. The troops
here are Companies D, G, E, and H of the
Fourth Regiment the Light Horse Caval-
ry and battery of artillery with two gat-
ling guns, all from Milwaukee. They are
in command of Brigadier General Board
man, who has opened headquarters at the
City Hall. He has issued an order to the
troops directing them to protect life and
property. If necessary they are to fire
upon the mob, but not without warning them
to desist and get out of the way. The Paine,
McMilen, Radford, Morgan & Williamson
and Libby factories, five in all, will start
under protection of the militia.

DoRsT IN TROUBLE
He Made Gun Play With Whisky
Flask

r. S. Do-st. the San Diego rancher, is
constantly getting himself into trouble.
Early yesterday morning he was arrested
on a charge of drunkenness, but no COM
plant was made against him In Justice
Morrisons court in the afternoon, SO he was
not punished. Dorst was on the witness
stand Thursday tetifying against Arthur A.
Dow, whom he accused of having robbed
him of 1905 by means of drugged whisky
while they were on drunk together. The
strain of evidence given evidently proved too
great for Dorst to bear, and he proceeded to
get loaded to the guards in consequence.
Some time after midnight on Thursday
w. E. Gregg dropped dead on First street,
near Main, and Dorst, attracted by the
crowd. went up to learn the cause Of the
trouble. When he saw the PROSTATE man,
Dorst asked if 1t was some fellow who had
been drugged and robbed like himself.
Somebody made a response that Dorst did
not fancy, for, putting his hand threaten
ingly back to his hip pocket, the San Diego
man SAID that If he had a pistol he would
shoot the fellow. Deputy Constable
Mugnemi heard the row and placed Dorst
under arrest. The officer discovered that
Dorst had nothing but flask of whisky in
his pocket, instead Of the equally dangerous
revolver.

THE SECOND CALL
mastering Of Troops Going Rapidly
Forward

WASHINGTON, June 24.-Reports re-
ceived at the Adjutant Generals office of
the War Department show that the forma-
lions of the new organizations of regiments,
battalions, ETC., under the Presidents Sec
ond call for troops by the mastering in OF
volunteers, Is now fairly under way. In
most of the States the probability is that
all the men necessary for the new organiza-
tons should be obtained in two or three
weeks from the present time, whenth the regi-
ments and battalions will be ready for or
ders from the commanding general. Rem
dezvousing points of the men in the States
have been designated by the Governors,
and it is understood here that they will be
the same as for troops raised under the
first call for 1875, 900 men. AT the same time
the recruiting for filling existing organiza-
tions TO the maximum strength is pro-
crossing rapidly, and daily attachments
are being sent to the mobilizing points.
Very few applications were made to Sec
rotary Aiger for changes in the apportion-
ment as originally announced by the de-
partmert, which was a source of so much
annoyance and trouble 10 the officials under
the first call.

PHILIPPINE FLEET
E. W. Little Writes of the Vessels and
Their Carving Capacity

E. W. Little of Los Angeles was recently
appointed to the quartermaster's depart
ment, under Colonel James w. Pope CHIEF
quartermaster of the Philippines and De-
partment of the Pacific. Mr.. Lille has been
over the vessels Of the fleet that will sail
for the Philippines Monday next to inspect
the coal bunkers. He writes to his family
in this city that they are all good steamers
fitted as nicely as can be, and gives the
number of men each one will carry-the
flagship Indiana. $50; Valencia, GOO; Ohio
S57; City of Para, 917 Morgan City, 7O7.
The fleet will probably spend two days al
Honolulu to replensh the coal bunkers
and then sail for the Philippines. Mr.. Lit

Colonel Pope and the entire department
were yaccinated, and after being scarified
In three places were obliged to sit with theiI

MILES WILL 90 TO CUBA
Wants to Be With Shafter Until After
the Fighting Is Over

Cac " AtiAS LS VVSI
WASHINGTON, June N-General Miles,
in command of the army, will go to Cuba
accompanied by his staff and direct the
military operations on the field. The doubt
as to the Generals movements was cleared
up today and the definite statement made
that he would go to Cuba. He will not
leave this week, however as has been sug-
gested, nor is it settled just when he goes.
There is thought to be no emergency to
require an immediate start, as General
Miles has the fullest confidence in General
Shafter who is conducting the advance OIL
Santiago, and this confidence is shared by
the President and the Secretary of War.
For that reason, General Miles move will
not be for the purpose of assuming the di-
rection of the assault on Santiago, as that
move Is likely to be we'll advanced If not
executed by the time he leaves. There are
other important military moves requiring
his attention here, regarding the prepara-
tions for further expeditions which will go
by way of Newport News and Tampa
Tampa is again to be made the rendezvous
for large force, and the department Is
securing complete details with view to
centering another large fleet of transports
there With the troops moved to these
points and the expeditions we'll advanced,
General Miles will then be free to join the
army in the field. Personally, he Is de-
sirous of being with the troops for, as he
says to his friends, he has been with the
men for thirty years and his spirit IS
with them now, although circumstances
necesstate his remaining here for time.
There is a possibility that he may go with
General Henry's division when the Har-
ward and Yale make their second trip from
Newport News, but this is quite doubt
full.

The FATE OF HAWAII
ANNEXATION RESOLUTIONS
AGAIN IN DEBATE
Proceedings of the Senate-Bankrutcy
Bill Adopted-The Senate Meets
Again on Tuesday

r. WASHINGTON, Jung M.-The confer
ence report on the bankruptcy bill was dis
posed of in the senate to,'ay without de-
bate, being agreed 10 by 'otd Of 81 TO 13.
The Hawaiian annexaotten resolutions were
under discussion through The session, except
during the brief time when routine business
was disposed Of Three ~ easures designed
to facilitate the work of the war depart
ment were passed without controversy.
Hoar of Massachusetts called up the con-
ference report upon the bankruptcy BILL and
by unanimous consent it was agreed TO take
vote on 1t after Nelson, one of the con-
ferees and author of the senate bill, had
made a statement explaining the provisions
of the measure as agreed upon by the con-
ferees. After Nelson had made his state
ment the vote was taken and the report
adopted-43 to 10.
The negative votes were cast by Bate,
Berry, Butler, Cannon, Clay, Cockrell,
Jones of Arkansas, Mills, Pettigrew, Pettus,
Rawl.ns, Teller and White.
Davis, in charge of the Hawaiian resolu-
tons, objected to any arrangement that
might impede the progress of the 'resolu-
tons.
'Then 1 move, Mr.. President" Allison
said, "that the senate convene al II a. m. to-
morrow
Some objection to this plan was entered
by Jones of Arkansas, but he withdrew his
demand for the yeas and nays. and the mo-
ton was adopted.
The Hawaiian resolutions were laid before
the senate and upon the demand of Petit
grew they were read.
McEnery of Louisiana resumed his speech
begun yesterday, discussing at length the
employment of contract labor on the is
lands. The principa, ground of McEnery's
objection to the annexation of Hawaii was
that It would, he apprehended, paralyze the
Industries of the south.
The senate concurred in the house amend
ment to the bill for the protection of min
ing claims of those who enlisted in the army
or navy of the United States.
Turley of Tennessee, who was recognized
upon the conclusion of McEnery's speech,
then began a legal argument against the
, pending resolutions. He maintained that
foreign territory could not be acquired by
legislative action, and that the method OF
acquiring the Hawaiian Islands set out in the
resolution was unconstitutional
!, At the conclusion of Turkeys speech AL
lison presented a partial conference report
on the appropriation bill. 1t was adopted.
The senate then, at 500, went into execu-
tive session and at $50 p. IN. adjourned.
