TAX STARTS TROUBLE.
Affiliated Women's Clubs Rebel
Against the Per Capita

Denver, June 2S.-The new council of
the General Federation of Women's
clubs met today at the Brown Palace
hotel under the direction of the presi-
dent Mrs. VIM. Lowe, of Georgia. The
most important matter under animated
discussion was the consideration of tax
alton of affiliated clubs of which there
are two-the National Household Econ
onic association and the National So
ciety of New England Women. These
organizations strenuOusly object to the
general ten cents per capita tax passed
by the Federation and hint atwithdraw-
al.
To avert a rupture, Mrs. Slade of New
York, as representative of the Society
of New England Women, offered res
olutions which are intended to bridge
the difficulty until the next biennial

that they shall have some representa-

START FROM SANTIAGO.
The European Expedition Will
Be Hurried Away.

Washington, June 2S.-It is said at
the navy department that it is the
present intention to start Commodore
Watson's eastern squadron from San
tiago- This, however, is subject to Ad-
miral Simpsons report upon the con-
dition of the vessels selected and their
needs in the matter of supplies and
equipment for the long voyage ahead
of them.
If they need no more than can be sup
piled from SIMPSONS fleet they will
start according to orders from Santiago,
but if further supplies are needed, or if
the vessels must be cleaned first, then
they probably will be sent north to
Hampton Roads. Meanwhile there is
no mistaking the earnestness of the
navy department in preparing this
squadron for the European service.

HALLIGAN REWARDED.
Given Flag for Landing First Troops

Diet John Halligan, jr., of the flagship
Brooklyn, returned on board that yes
sci last night with large silk Cuban
flag, which had been presented to him
for landing the first boat load of sold
ierS of the invading army. Cadet Hal
ligan also reported that five of the St.
Louis boats and one of the Brooklyn,
were DANA ed.
When it is considered that II, 900 men
and q large number of horses and
mules, in addition to supplies for the
army has been landed, the record made
is remarkable, both for speed and alb
sence of disaster. The first launch of
the Brooklyn, in charge of Cadet Hal
ligan, with three boats in tow reached
the shore at the head of the fleet on the
small craft and the CubanS who were
already in possession of the landing
place, handed the flag to the cadet and
he gave them the launch's flag in re-
turn. Commodore Schley, commenting
on the landing said: 1T is the break
ing of all records in modern history to

Commodore Schley thinks the Spanish
naval officers will, as a last resort de-
StrOy their ships by blowing them up.
A Cuban spy who was recently in San
tiagO de Cpba says a reign of terror
exists among all classes there, owing
to the nightly attacks of the VeSuviuS

Cleveland. June 2s,-A local paper
says:
The life of the great Ohio coal trust
hangs in the balance. The TRUST may

KILLED BY OUTLAWS.
Spanish Terrors in Texas Attack Of
ficers-Bandits Pursued.

st. Louis, June ga special to the
Republic from San Antonio, Texas, says:
Information has just reached here
that Deputy Sheriff Yidefonso Soils
was killed by a band of outlaws at Rio
Grande City, on the border. today.
Soils was assisting United States Dep
uty Marshal Hanson and posse to cap
ture a desperate band of outlaws that
have been terroriZing the community
about Rio Grande City for some time.
The leader of the outlaws is a Spaniard
named GueterrO. He has gathered
about him a desperate gang of border
half-breed cut-thrOats, who have been
led to believe that the war has so de-
moralized the American people that
they can safely prey upon the settlers
along the frontier.
The outlaws were in ambush and a
desperate battle ensued, in which Soils
was killed and one of Hanson'S depu-
ties were wounded. Several of the
bandits were wounded but their loss is
not known, as the officers were forced
to retire.
Posses have organized and are now
securing the country on both sides of
the Rio Grande.

Madrid, June 28.-The Spanish Of
ficials here assert that there will be no
difficulty in Admiral Camara's travers-
ing the Suez canal as the accompanying
transports they add, have all the coal
the squadron requires. 1t is believed
here that the Spanish ships will enter
the canal today.
The Spanish government does not
credit the report that an American
squadron is to visit Spanish waters, but
the ministers say they have taken all
possible precautions, that the ports are
all ready and that $4,000 men who have
been called, will be distributed among
the principal Atlantic and Mediter-
ranean ports of Spain.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-With the
actual beginning of war, military and
naval preparations were vastly stlmu-
lated today The navy bought a ship
and number of yachts, 1t secured
also some more material for guns and
renewed orders for haste in the con-
struction of guns. Orders were sent
to the squadron to guard their move
ments, and the preliminarles or
blockade were executed.
In the war department, all arrange
ments have been made for a call for
100 600 volunteers to be chosen from the
national guard.
The strategy board of the depart
ment looked over and perfected the
plans, and efforts were begun to pro-
vide a subsystem OF coast patroI py

Movements Of troops began day
or two ago were changed by direction
of the department. in some respects, to
| meet the conditions of the moment at
Southern posts, but in general there
are indications that the department is
| acting with the purpose of concentrat
| ing no less than $4,000 men at the gulf
ports within the next ten days, ready
| for embarkation to Cuba.
Arrangements were completed today,
| under the direction of Secretary Alger,
for calling out 100000 of the militia of
| the country to aid the regular army
| in the operations to compel the Span
| ish evacuation Of Cuba, although the
secretary announced just before leav-
| ing the department that the call would
not be issued today.
The officials were awaiting the pass
age of the volunteer army bill by con-
gress in order that they might be ex-
plicit authority for asking for the vol
unteers.
The number of men required from
each state, it is said, will be in the
proportion that it's population bears
| to that of the whole country. Accord
| ing to this ratio, the several states
would be called on to furnish men as

would be accepted. The figures in
possession Of the war department show
that in some Of the states there is no
such organization and in others it falls
below the quota which such states will
be asked to furnish in the proportion
which their population bears to that
of the whole country. If the policy
of asking each state to furnish it's
proportionate quota is finally adopted,
then under call for 100000 men many
of the national guardsmen would be
