to serve on the committee to tnvesti-
gate the conduct of the war. OF nine
members selected, and whose names
were published In the Herald this
morning, three have declined to serve,
and several others have asked for time
to consider the matter. Up to this
time only four Of the nine are likely to
be sure to serve-Dr. w. II. Keene OF
Philadelphia, Lieutenant General Soho
field, General Henderson and General
James Saxton.
General J. B. Gordon and former Sec
retaries of War Lincoln and Lamont
have declined to serve-all on account
of ill-health.
The President 1 understand, Is great

nation he has received. He takes the
ground that the duty is an important
one-as important in certain sense
as a call to arms. He is particularly
anxious to make the committee a
strong one, and the list which he made
up comprises men of such high char

The War Department had compar-
atively cuiet day, although the adj
jutant generals office was open
throughout the day, expediting the
mastering out and furloughing Of
troops in various sections. General
Corbin made his usual call on the
President tonight to sum up the de-
velopments of the day, but he said
there was nothing of an important
character. No word had come from
Manila.
There are no more volunteer troops
at Montauk Point, eleven regiments Of
regulars beino the only troops remain
ing, except those detained in hospitals.
General Corbin says Camp Wikoff has
practically completed the service for
which it was established. but that no
final conclusion has been reached yet
as to the ordering away the remaining
regiments and disposing of the camp.

ALGER PLEASED WITH
M'KlNLEY'S SELECTIONS

DETROIT, Sept. 11.-Secretary Alger
this afternoon expressed himself as well
pleased at the Presidents selection Of
members of the commission to investi-
gate the condition Of the commissary,
quartermaster and medical depart
ments of the War Department during
the war. On the subject of sickness
among the soldiers, General Alger
said:
1.-The whole trouble has been in the
volunteer troops not knowing how to
care for themselves and careleSSness in
warding off disease The regular men
have not been troubled as the volun-
teers have. They have had yellow
fever and fevers from exposure In the
trenches before Santiago, but their gen.
eral health has been good and the pro-
portion of sickness and deaths from
sickness Is very small.
THE most stringent orders have been
issued in regard to keeping the camps
clean. After my tour of inspection.
will go over the whole situation care
fully and 1t is possible that a new set
of regulations that will be better, may
be issued.
THE day before I left Washington"
said General Alger, Il called Surgeon
General Sternberg into my office and
told him l wanted to build winter hos
pitfalls for six thousand men. We will
have our hospitals If we have to raise
the six thousand to sixty thousand.
They will be located at points where
they can be reached by transports, al
though just where, it Is not yet deter
mined. One of the hospitals, however,
will be at Havana. 1t will be built Just
as soon as our troops are sent to the
island. I do not know what they have
in the city in the shape Of hospitals
now, but 1 very much doubt if we
would want to take any of their In
fected buildings for hospitals for our
soldiers"
Brigadier General Duf1ield arrived
home to-day from the coast of Maine.
where he has been recuperating from
Illness contracted during the Santiago
campaign. Secretary Alger visited him

REVOLT IN
THE CAROLINE
ISLANDS
Spanish Garrison Said
to Be Wiped Out.
NATIVES COMBINE AGAINST IT
A VIGOROUS AND SUCCESSFUL
ATTACK ON PoNAPE.
Gunboat Quioros Thought to Have
Been Captured by the Ladrone
Garrison of Ameri-
NATIVES COMBINE AGAINST 1T
A VIGOROUS AND SUCCESSFUL
ATTACK ON PONAPE.

Private advices have been received
in this city to the effect that the Caro-
line group of islands, which this coun-
try contemplated Selling, had war with
Spain been prolonged, is probably by
this time in the hands of the natives Of
the group and that the Spanish garri-
son is wiped out. The story comes
from Honolulu whittier 1t was brought
by a small trading schooner which had
touched at the Carolines
Two native kings of the group who
had long been at war with each other
some months ago declared a truce,
combined their forces and began war
against the Spanish authorities.
The Spaniards were concentrated at
Ponape, and It was here that the ma
tives made their attack. The blacks
attacked with such vigor and in such
numbers that the Spanish were COM
PEELED to retreat and take shelter in
their barracks, which they held.
The gunboat Quioros was then dis
patched to Guam for aid. But on ar
irving there she found the American
flag floating and the only gunboat on
duty at that port missing. The Quioros
did not return to zap in the Caroline
group, and it was thought that she was
lost. The supposit:on was that she had
gone to Join Dewey" and that the La
drone garrison of Americans have pos
session Of her.
There were 200 soldiers in Ponape,
but they were poorly supplied with am
munition and in no position to resist
a prolonged attack. The superstition
is that the place was captured and the
Spanish garrison wiped out.
The entire group, unless the Span
iards made an unexpected stand, must
be by this time in the possession of
the natives.
The American missionaries are prob
ably safe, as they stand we'll with the
natives, who, though they may not love
missionaries particularly, love the
Americans.
The story is confirmed by James
Wilder of Honolulu, who recently re-
turned to Hawaii from a tour in the
Carolines. He said that at that time
the natives We're much disconnected
and were preparing for a revolt He
also said that Americans were well
coined by the natives.

CHILE GATHERING DATA
REGARDING OUR WAR
Making Use Of the Lessons It Taught
In Preparation for a Clash
With Argentina.

NEW YORK, Sept. ia Washington
special to the Herald says: In anticipa-
ton of conflict with Argentina agents
of Chile are securing all available data
from American officers regarding their ex-
periences in the late war with Spain, in
order that the navy of their Government
may be benefited by the lessons which
1t taught.
This statement Is made on the best au-
thority and is an indication of the strain
ed relations existing between the two
countries. It is violating no confidence
to say that the representatives of Chile,
who have been collecting the Information,
have not waited for the mails to carry
what they. learned to Santiago. but the
cable has been freely used In order that
their. Government may have all the time
possible to take advantage of the lessons
which the recent war taught. 1t has been
the aim of American officers to impress
upon the Chileans the value Of gunnery,
and while the officials do not positively
know It, they believe the Chileans are
engaged in target practice. for the pur-
pose of being prepared in the prospective
struggle with Argentina.

A Good Show

Dan Darleigh's Rural Comedy
Company presented the laugha-
BILE comedy, "Back on the Farm, :"
to good sized audience at the
Opera House last night. The
comedy was very amusing one,
with good plot that was carried
out with credit by the company.
Mr.. DArleIgh, as ST. Stebbins, the
old farmer and follower of Dar-
win, was just side-splitting, and,
with his funny and lifelike lmper-
Sonatlon of the old firmerss kept
the audience in roar of laugh
ter; and his lifelong neighbor,
Caleb Cushing-Harry Robin
sOn-was a good second. There
were several other good actors in
the company. The music was
good, and the llfellke war views
was one Of the shows best fea-
lures and were greatly appreci-
ated by the audience.

THE OCALA PAPERS
What They Can Do For County and
Town

W nat lHeN Oan DO Tor county anu
Town
A gentleman who owns the
finest business block in this city
climbed the golden stairs to
reach the Star sanctum a few
days ago to consult with the ed
itor in regard to organizing the
people Of the city to promote it's
and the county's progress and
prosperity. He was informed
hat that'.was part of the Stars
mission on earth. Several i'm
portant plans were discussed.
All, for the time being, were
relegated to the rear, except the
hard road to Silver Springs.
This was primarily deemed the
most important and vital ques-
tion affecting the future welfare
of the city and county. The
Stars article on organization OF
the merchants of the city regard
ing the building of this highway
was commended, and we were
urged to re-urge it's consumma-
ton.
Agreeably to our promise we
made personal appeals to some of
our merchants and were most
cordially received. They said
they would see to it that the or
ganization was affected.
Now here is a plan that the
Star suggested: La view of the
fact that the interests of the peo-
pie, the merchants and the news
papers of Ocala are Identical,
and whereas, each year there Is
given to a paper IL this city what
is known as delinquent tax list,
from which said paper.receives a
larger per cent. of profit than
from any one piece of work, and
whereas, outside of said "pecuni-
ary increment the local press
is absolutely dependent on the lib
eral advertising Of the merchants
of Ocala, without whose liberalitv
in this line no paper could main
tain itself; and whereas such sup
port has always been generous,
therefore the papers of the city
JOIN in the efforts of the mer-
chants in urging and assisting in
building the said Ocala and Silver
Springs railroad. They do Joint
ly and severally agree that they
will publish for the next three
years said list and donate one
half of the net proceeds to the
construction Of said thoroughfare
one paper to be named each
year by the board of county COM
missloners to perform said work
under conditions already sug-
gested.
We say further that if the
other papers Of Ocala do not care
to come into this agreement, the
Star will cheerfully take the con-
tract for three years and perform
the service needed and make the
contribution as already set forth.
1t is not necessary to say what
responsive chord this struck in
the breast Of those to whom it
was proposed. All of which is
respectfully submitted to the hon
orable board of county commits
sioners and all parties interested.

f A MT. Putnam is now constructing g
 a hotel and lodging house just beyond the southern confines of the company's property and only a few hundred yerds from the company store. The family of MT. Louis Lindner, Butte, Montana, is expected here in a week or two, and MT. Lindner is now looking after arrangements for their reception.
 Among the men working here who deserve more than passing glance is MT. Thomas Jones, the powder man of the grade force, and practical min CT. MT. Jones has had extensive eX- perience in the southwest in mining, having also spent a number of years in his line of business within the bor- ders of our sister republic. MT. Jones speaks Spanish like a native and has been in contact with the Latin race so long that he has absorbed not few of their habits, the one most marked being that in conversation he uses his arms, hands and shoulders MT. Jones is a quiet, unassuming, industrious man; one who minds his own business, but withal cOngenial companion and his stories and "reminiscences are eX- ceedingly entertaining. He is also one or those who has huSbanded his earn ings and has amassed quite a com fortable competence, owning realty in Los Angeles and Silver City, N. M, and in old Mexico. Every one on the grade is familiar with his sunny smile, cheering word and his shout of alarm -lumbre!
 The weather here is magnificent. The nights, of course, are pretty cool but the temperature seldom reaches freezing point. This will make one ot the prettiest summer camps in the territory and strangers are delighted with it. It is to be hoped that when the shelter goes into operation the fumes from the furnaces and convert CTS will not vitiate the pure atmos phere of the camp.
 Mountain bees are numerous and nearly every Sunday some one finds a bee tree and brings in good supply of wild honey. UBIQUITOUS.
