EMPEROR OF CHINA DEAD|
Rumor Of His Taking Off

London, Oct. "A special dispatch

Troops to Be Sent to the Phi1i ppines to
Protect the visayas Islands.
Madrid, Oct. 4.-The cabinet has
decided to authorize General Rios to
grant reforms in the Visayas islands,
on the lines demanded by the inhab-
itants, and to concentrate his forces at
Mindanao, as there are only $50 men
garrisoning the Visayas.
The Spanish ministers also decided
to protest to the government at WASH
ington against the refusal of the Amer
leans to permit Spanish troops to be
sent to the Visayas, while it is claimed
the insurgents are constantly receiving
arms and cannon with which to attack
other islands, (which the Americans
permit without even pretending to in.
tervene."
The Spanish cabinet, it is added, will
acquaint its Paris commissioners with
these contentious, in order that they
may be used in the peace negotiations.
Finally. it is announced that the gov
ernment will inform the government at
Washington that it has decided to send
reinforcements to the Visayas, and
has ordered several batteries of artil-
lery In Andalusia to get ready to start
for the Philippine islands within "a
hours. In addition to this, the cabi-
net will repeat Its protests against the
insurgents continuing to hold Spanish
prisoners in the Philippine islands.

Surgeon Protests Against Overcrowding q
on the OLDHAM.
Santiago de Cuba, Oct. 4.-Surgeon-
Major Seaman, of the transport OLDHAM,
declares that there will be repetition
of the aw full horrors that have eharac-
terized the voyage home of the other
transports if more sick soldiers are sent
on board the vessel for transportation
to New York. He says that when the
Obdam left Porto Rico many On board
were sick, yet the first quartermaster
refused 10 furnish wine for their use,
but supplied them with hardtaok and
canned food, saying that he had no
authority to furnish wine. Surgeon
Seaman said he would hold him re-
sponsible should any deaths occur, and
finally succeeded in obtaining suitable
food for those who were i'll. He asserts
that the ship has every man that she
can carry, and that if she reaches New
York without any deaths occurring, she
will be lucky
Hearing that number OF other sick
soldiers were to be sent aboard her, the
surgeon ma jor made protest. and
stdteu tudt He was iilioilneu NY ocHoId dl
Lawton that his protest showed lack OF
discipline, and that an officer had been

happen.

THOUSANDS ARE SICK.
Critical Condition of the Army In
Porto Ricos

Porto Rico.
Ponce, Porto Rico, Oct. Sit is the
well-grounded and almost unanimous
opinion of the medical staff of the
American army in Porto Rico that the
condition of the volunteer forces here
necessitates their immediate removal
north. Sickness is increasing, and has
been increasing during the past three
weeks at an alarming rate. Today the
sick report shows over 2.700 in hos
pitfalls or in quarters, out of total COM
mand of 10000 men; that is, over 20
per cent of the troops are on the sick
list. This, however, does not mean
that there is an effective strength of
$500 men. The soldiers discharged
from the hospitals as fit for duty are in
nine cases out of ten incapable of serv-
ice. and if ordered on duty are almost
invariably back in the hospitals within
few days.
The medical officers have found that
the convalescents do not, and seeming
ly cannot, recover their strength in
this climate. and for this reason they
are being sent nortli as rapidly as pos
sible, several hundred leaving every
week

Reported Scheme to Form Combine
of warship and Gun Factories.
Cleveland, O., Oct. 5.-An evening
paper says one of the most gigantic pro-
jects for d combination of capital is be-
ing examined in this city. 1t is moth
ing less than an attempt to unite the
warship building interest and armor
plate and gun-making interests of the
world into one great syndicate. Men
of international reputation in the
financial and manufacturing world are
in the deal. The projectors claim
they can raise capital of $500, 900, 600.
Among the Clevelanders who are in
the deal is said to be Colonel Myron T.
Herrick, president of the Society of
Savings, and Robert Wallace, president
of the Cleveland Ship Building Com
pany. DIR. Gatling, the famous in
vetor of guns, has been here in confer
ence with other men in the deal. Arm
strong, the inventor of the gun which
bears his name, has also been here.
Andrew Carnegie is one of the chief
men in the negotiation. Robert WAL

stop at San Francisco, and the proprie-
tors of the Union Iron Works will be
approached as to whether they will

Disorders, most of them in the vicln-

Several arrests were made.
An ugly statement is made by the
Petite Republique to the effect that
Colonel Picquart, who had previously
taken exercise in the courthouse yard
of the Jail, had not left his cell since
Thursday, when he was seized with
symptoms of cerebral congestion, fol-
lowed by coma. There is no means,
however, of verifying the statement.
The disorders have created intense
alarm among the foreigners at the
hotels, and it is probable that an exo-
dus will occur, the guests fearing grave
developments.
The working class, SO far, has held
aloof, but the leaders of the rival par
ties are doing tlfeir utmost to stir them
up. and it is believed that the disorders
