Capt. Kemp told them that his boats
were stove and useless. They said they
would come to the Walleda in their
own boats. During this time the
Walleda laid to, but found that she
was rapidly drifting to leeward, then
went about on the other tack, and
after several taeks managed to cross
the bow of the wreck. The Walleda
hailed again, but got no answer. In
the meantime another three-masted
schooner came to her assistance, and
assumed a position to the windward
of the wreck. Both of them stood by
until daylight. When morning broke
the wreck was seen to be deserted and
the boats gone. 1t is supposed that
the unfortunate men had attempted
to launch their boat during the night,
which capsized and all hands were
lost.

THE KANSAS CATTLE PLUNGER
Grant G. Giuett Located In Chihuahua.
Mex, But His Whereabouts Un-
known-His Late Movements.

Kansas City, No., Dec. 5.-A dis
patch to the Journal from Chihuahua,
Mex, says:
Grant G. Gillett, the missing Kansas
cattle plunger, whose sudden disap-
pearance so startled the financial
world, arrived in Chihuahua, Novem-
ber % and left on the morning of the
oath for Durango, where it is stated
that he deposited a large sum of
money in the bank.
He remained only short time in
Durango, when he bought a return
ticket to Chihuahua.
Two prominent business men of this
city came up from Durango on the
same train with him, and stated that
he bought a first class ticket and rode
in second class coach as far as Tor
reon, where he took the Pullman.
The gentlemen entered into a con-
versation with him, and he said he
had made considerable money in Colo
RADIO in the general merchandise busi-
ness, and that he was in Mexico with
the view to investing in ranch or
mining property. He conversed quite
freely upon various topics, referring
occasionally to the cattle business.
He was well dressed and wore several
beautiful diamonds.
At JimineZ he was met by his at
torney, c. II. TroXel, and the two en-
tered into low conversation and re-
mained together until they reached
Chihuahua. They arrived here last
Monday and went to the leading hotel.
where they registered. The man was
undoubtedly Gillett, as his signature
corresponds with his signature in
document held in this city.
TroXel left Tuesday on the stage for
the west, presumably to the mining
camps in the Sierra Madre mountains.
Gillett is still in the city, but his
whereabouts are unknown, except to
the detectives.
The report that Gillett had been ar
rested and held in custody here is IN
true. The Jefe Politico says that
the Mexican authorities have not seen
him and know nothing of his where
abouts.
He will be arrested Immediately
upon the arrival of the authorities
from the states, who are expected to
arrive from El Paso. Their baggage
is all in this city, and on one of the
trunks is tag with the name c. r.

rived at the hotel for G. G. Gillett |

STATES NAVAL MILITIA.
Report of Lieut.. Switzerland to the
Secretary of the Navy on the
Naval Militia.
THE STATES THAT FURNISHED THE MEN.
strates the Imperative Necessity for the
Maintenance OF an Efficient Naval Re-
serve-The Merchant Marine Cam Not
be Wholly Relied Upon.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Lieut. W. II.
Switzerland, in charge of matters per-
tanning to the naval militia, has made
a report to the assistant secretary of
the navy upon the naval militia dur
ing the war.
Allotment Made to States.
At the beginning of the year an al
lotment of $4,000 was made to sew
eral states having naval organizations,
with a total of 4,445 men. The states
were California, Connecticut, Florida,
Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland,
Massachusetts,, Michigan, New Jersey,
New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Penn
sylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina
and Virginia. The District of Column
bia has since mustered in an organiza-
ton.
The States that Furnished Men.
The various states mustered into
the service, during the war, the
following: California, 13 Off
GERS and so men; Connecti-
cut, 13 officers and 1ss men; Flor
Ida, 2 officers and So men, and in the
coast signal service, officers and 35
men; Illinois, 10 officers and 7O9 men;
Louisiana, 10 officers and PA men;
Massachusetts, SO officers and 3S4 men;
Michigan, IL officers and 27O men; New
Jersey, "a officers and 373 men; New
York, 40 officers and SC5 men; North
Carolina, 9 officers and 1S9 men; Penn
sylvania, Is officers and SO men; Rhode
Island, S officers and 147 men; South
Carolina, IS officers, 6 mates and 1877
men; Virginia, 2 officers and 62 men.
An Imperative Necessity.
The reports states that from the
beginning of the building of the new
navy, efforts have been made to or.
ganize a naval militia, but nothing has
been done beyond the formation of a
few state organizations. The principal
training has been in the line of coast
defense. The report then states:
The experience of this short wa1
has clearly demonstrated the impera-
tive necessity for the maintenance OF
a national 1eserve, in the organiza-
ton of which too much reliance must
not be placed upon the merchant ma.
rine alone"
How They Should be Enrolled.
Lieut.. Switzerland says the classes
of naval militia should be enrolled for
five years, and in such classes should
be included those who have served in
the present war and all others who
are connected with sea service and not
in the regular naval establishment
These classes should take an annual
course of instruction and drill. The
enrolment of the new organization
could be conducted by the officers OF
the naval militia who served in the
Spanish war. A naval officer should
be detailed to conduct the drill of the
ships companies. Officers should be
commissioned in the naval reserve
after an examination by a board of
naval officers.
''It is considered that a continuous
annual appropriation of 100000 will
be sufficient to provide for a force of
naval reserves to aggregate 1000 men
at the end of three years."

CUBAN AND PHILIPPINE DEBTS.
The Spanish Cabinet Displeased at Specu-
lation in These the Bourse-
Guns Trained on Iloilo.

Madrid, Dec. 5.-The government
has not reached full decision regard
ing the Cuban and Philippine debts,
but the official gazette yesterday pub
lished an announcement that the
drawing for the redemption of the
Cuban bonds will occur on December
10.
The speculation in the Cuban and
Philippine debts on the bourse has
seriously displeased the cabinet. The
rise in these securities is attributed to
the report that the government will
devote theindemnity received from the
United States to the colonial indebted
ness, regarding which no decisive steps
have been taken by the ministers.
An official dispatch from the Visayas
islands, in the Philippines, announces
that the insurgents have doubled their
attacks upon Iloilo. The governments
advices say: "The rebels have guns
trained on the city, and fire on our
troops nightly. Our troops maintain
spirited fire, and have killed a num-
ber of the enemy"
