ing Among Insurgent Leaders.

Manila, Oct. 24.-General Pic del Pi- lar, who is looked upon as being the leading rival of Aguinaldo for the lead ership of the Philippine insurgents, has been summoned to Malolos, the insur- gent headquarters, and has been ar rested. The charge against him is dis regarding Aguinaldo's authority and attempting to defy the Americans. It is hoped that Aguinaldo's influence will prevent a conflict between the insur- gents and the Americans. Aguinaldo has removed several of the insurgent officers who are uneducated and unfit ted for their positions, but he has been compelled to reinstate them. Aguinal- do is desirous of going to Paris for the purpose of appearing before the peace commissioners, but he is prevented from so doing by the jealousies existing between the insurgent leaders.

Hearing Given Mine Owners Before
 Magistrate Roberts in Chicago.
 Chicago, Oct. 24.-A. J. Roberts, po- lice magistrate of Virden, before whom the warrant for the arrest of T. c. Loucks, William Corea, Fred Lukins and other officials of the Chicago-Vir- den Coal company was sworn out the day after the Virden mining riot, charging the officials of the mine with conspiracy and murder, arrived here to-day. He came at the request of the coal company to give the men named in the warrant a preliminary hearing. Deputy Sheriff Webster of Virden came to Chicago to arrest the officials last week, but was persuaded by the earn est representation from them that their lives were not safe at Virden to allow them to rer1%in and have their hearing here. Bonds were given individually by the coal companys officials in the sum of $5,000. Present at the hearing which occurred in the coal company's offices were several officers of the Unit- ed Mine Workers of America, who were here to watch the developmnt of the case.

say how 1t was with the Spaniards." He said there was considerable difficult ty in getting food while in front of Santiago, but the soldiers had enough. Colonel Bisbee stated that himself and sixteen men were the only members of his regiment who had not been i'll. Tt had been impossible to secure medi- cal supplies said the witness, and if we had them we could not have carried them" He said the men were just be- ginning to break in health when Santia- go surrendered and the equalization came at just the right time. Colonel Bisbee did not believe there was a suf- ficient number of doctors in the Cuban campaign. He thought the contract surgeons were capable doctors, but they were not familiar with army methods and did not know how to get the necessary medicines. He said that a distress signal had been put up for food while they lay out at sea and when some vessel came alongside he said he had called out to those aboard to bring them food. He stated in ex- plantation that the food was wanted for the officers mess. '"The men had enough,'' he said, such as it was.'' Af- ter this and while at Montauk they got more than they needed.
 We got it from the people, from New York relief associations and citizens. They sent us everything, including whiskey and champagne, far more than we wanted" He said he knew of no deprivation at Montauk. "The raw re- cruits were bowling to get into a house, but that was all"
 Colonel James P Fife of the Third Tennessee, whose regiment had been encamped at Chickamauga as part of the first division of the Third army corps previous to removal here, said the commissary supplies had been excellent and ample. Colonel Fife said that a canteen had been maintained in his reg iment and beer in large quantities had been sold. Most of the receipts (amounting to $4O0 or $500 per day) of the canteen were from beer. Did you consider it proper for your regiment to maintain general beer garden for all the camp?" asked Dr. Connor, reading from a letter as his authority. Colonel Fife answered.: "No, but that beer was there to be sold.' He denied that beer was sold to be carried away except to officers, and advocated the sale of beer at canteens as a protection against more serious indulgence in whiskey.

Paper Company Assigns.

Turner's Falls, Mass, Oct. 24.-The Marshall Paper company made an as- signment to Joseph Stephens of the First National bank, of Greenfield, and G. Henry Whitcomb of Worcester, one of the directors, and representing the Boston Trust company, to-day. It is to be hoped, that, despite the entangle- ments, the mill will keep running and that the business will pay the creditors in full. About one hundred names are on the payroll The mill makes several tons of tissue and cigarette paper daily. The cause of the present trouble is said to be a failure to renew notes, and the fact that the mill cost s50,000 more to equip than anticipated, the burden of debt being heavy to carry when the recent war hurt orders to the extent of several tons daily. The indebtedness is said to be represented by notes run ming high in the thousands. The capi- tai stock is S146,0O0 The mill and ma- chinery are in excellent condition.

AFFA1Rs OF SANTIAGO.
Gen. Woods Efforts at Reorganization
 The Police Force


 The Police Force.
 Santiago de Cuba, Oct. 24.-General Wood, military governor of the military department of Santiago, though satis- fled with the workings of the commis- sion of fifty now recommending ap- pointments and offering suggestions for his assistance in the work of civil ad- ministration, has decided to simplify this feature by appointing eight of the most prominent members of the com- mission as a permanent counsel to the governor. This counsel will meet Gen. eral Wood thrice week to consult as to conditions in the province The members of the council will receive sal aries, though the amount has not yet been decided upon. Probably the po- sition will be more one of honor than profit.
 One of the first matters to be consid- cred by General Wood and the advisory council will probably be the reorganiza- tion of the police force of the province, General Wood intending to enlarge it. His idea is to make the entire police force a military organization and un- der command of an inspector general, with a rank of colonel, with headquar- ters at Santiago. There will be four inspectors, with the rank of major, with headquarters at Santiago, Guantana- mo, Manzanillo and Holguin, and sub- inspectors, with the rank of captain, ot ir,1rN nrto ont yNIn @1a1 having lieutenants. The whole service will be thoroughly drilled. The mounted police will be armed with carbines and revolvers, and the foot constabulary with machetes and revolvers. General Wood believes that in less than six months he will have complete and well drilled body of men. There will be reduction in the number of police in Santiago, but General Wood con- templates adding twelve American pa trolmen for districts specially frequent ed by soldiers, teamsters and Ameri- cans generally. Apparently no member of the present force dares to arrest an American, even when the police out number the offenders seven to one.
 The Rev. MT. Somcillian, a minister of the Methodist Episcopal church, is about to build church here and estab- fish a school, after which he will visit other Cuban cities for a similar pur- pose. He is of Cuban birth, but has been living in the United States since he was a boy General Wood has ac- cepted the offer of the owner of a cof- fee plantation, without capital, to find work for fifty men if the United States authorities will supply the rations for two months. Rations will be given weekly in proportion to the number of men found actually at work.

PROBING VAR SCANDALS.
Interesting Points from Officers Testi- mony Given Yesterday.

Anniston, Ala, Oct 24.-The war in vestigating commission to-day exam ined about a dozen witnesses. It is now expected that the committee will leave for Huntsville tomorrow night. Major David Vickers, who was inspec- tor general for the second division of the Third corps at Chickamauga, at tributed the troubles in that camp to the shallowness of the sinks. Asked as to the competency of the surgeons at the hospital he said there was one man in the hospital whose proneness to pro- fanity unfitted him for the service. This man was Major Hubbard, surgeon of the 9th New York. His profanity was of such a villianous character" ," said Major Vickers, 'as to pretty nearly make me sick"
 Lieutenant Colonel Bisbee in com mand of the 1st infantry told the story of transportation of his regiment to Santiago, described the fighting about Santiago; spoke of his experience in Cuba, of the stay at Montauk Point and the transfer south. Asked if the landing at Santiago could have been accomplished if opposed, he replied: '"The facilities were so poor that I think not, at least I should say if I had been on shore no enemy would have been permitted to land. I cannot

PennsyIvanian Shows Remarkable
 Gameness -Cheersd by Spectators.
 New York, Oct 24.-Tommy Ryan of Syracuse met Jack Bonner of Summit Hill, Pa., in a twenty-round bout for the middle weight championship at the Greater Athletic club tonight, and al- though the contest went the limit of twenty rounds, Ryan was never in diff ponent. Ryan won by very big mar gin and showed himself to be by far the cleverer man, as well as giving his op- ponent the benefit of palpable let up towards the finish. During the last three rounds Bonner's condition was al- most hopeless and it looked as if one good blow would end the fight. Ryan was evidently looking for an opportun- ity of sending Bonner into dreamland with clean swing, but while he had opportunities at short arm work for ending the bout he took no chances, as there was still enough vitality left in the Pennsylvanian to drop him with a right over to the chin in case he left the opening. Bonner's strength was fast waning at the twelfth round, but his careful training and wonderful re- cuperative powers stood him in good stead. His gameness was remarkable and the manner in which he stood up against his terrible punishment evoked the plaudits of the spectators, who cheered the big fellow generously.

THE HARRINGTON PUBLISHING CO
BIC FIRE IN BROOKLYN.
Damage to the Amount of Half a MIL
 ion Dollars.

ion Dollars.
 New York, Oct 24-One of the most destructive fires that has occurred in Brooklyn for two years broke out this afternoon at Pier 39, East river, and did damage to the amount of half a mil lion dollars. Pier 39 adjoins the naval stores of George l.. Hammond, extend ing from Coffee to Walcott streets. At Pier 99 the four -masted iron ship An dorenha was lying, discharging a cargo, composed principally of jute butts, salt petre, shellac and raw silk. The flames spread to the vesesl. But how the fire the originated is as yet unknown. A north wind was blowing at the time and famed the flames fiercely and in a few moments the water front for four blocks, extending from Van Dyke to Walcott streets, was ablaze. Three alarms and special calls were sent out, bringing to the scene all the fire ap- paratus in the lower half of the bor- ough, together with four fire boats from Manhattan and the two belonging to Brooklyn. A heavy black smoke settled over the East river as far north as Long Island Sound and extended over the lower part of Brooklyn, so that it became necessary to light lamps in business houses in order to carry on business. Finally the fire was brought under control.
 There was considerable progress made tonight at arriving at an accu- rate estimate of the losses Among the heaviest losers is George l.. Ham, mond, owner of the naval stores, whose loss is placed at a00,0O0, said to be full ly covered by insurance. The Ando- renha is owned by Frank w. Roberts of Liverpool, England, and valued at S3O0,000 She was consigned to Ralli Brothers, Greek commission mer- chants. The Brooklyn Wharf and Warehouse company, according to the best estimate, will lose $150,000. The -masted schooner Wacamaw, loaded with benzine, alcohol and tur- pentine, which arrived from George town, s. C., earlier in the day and was tied up at the foot of Coffee street, also too fire and was lowed out into the stream, where the flames were extin- guished without any great damage be- ing done to the vessel. A large part of the cargo of the Andorenha had been discharged and when the ire started two lighters were loaded with jute from her hold and tied between piers Nos. 39 and 40. The loss to these lighters will be about $6,000.
 An inspector of the fire department tonight said that a number of en- employees of Hammond's stores declare the fire originated in the hold of the Andorenha. The sailors, however, say that the fire started in the bales of jute on the pier. So rapidly did the fire spread that the sailors abandoned the craft, being compelled to jump into the water to save themselves from being, burned. The German-American stores had 800 bales of cotton and 2,500 bales of jute stored on pier No. go, all of which was destroyed. The names Of the owners Of these could not be learned. J. B. Martin, general mana ger of the property of the Brooklyn Wharf and Warehouse company said tonight that the losses of the company were fully covered by insurance.

Philadelphia, Oct. 24.-Japan's fine new cruiser, the Kasagi, was turned over by the Cramps to-day to the Jap anese government as represented by Commander N.
