New Military Department.

The present department of Texas is
abolished, and the headquarters, which
have been at San Antonio, Tex, for so
many years, are abandoned. In place
of the old department is created new
one, the department of the South.
General Graham, at present commander
of the department. OF Texas, will COM
mand the new department. This de-
partment will include the states of
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ala
bama, Mississippi and Texas. All of
the states, save the last, are at present
attached to the department OF the East,
under command OF General Merritt, OF
New York. 1t is said at the department
that General Merritt is fully compen-
sated for the strength of the command
which has been taken from him, by the
addition to his forces Of the two regi-
ments of artillery now recruiting.
Headquarters of the new department
of the South will be at Atlanta, chosen
because of its fine strategic value and
its excellent railroad connections. At
present, the government has no accom-
modations in Atlanta for the head
quarters of the department, SO it will
be obliged to hire the most available
buildings.
General Wilson, chief OF engineers,
who has been in Florida, is expected
back tomorrow to report to Secretary
Alger on the progress of the fortifica
tion work in that section of the country
and probably especially as to the de-
fense of Tortugas.
For the first time today the officials
OF the war department admitted that
they were straining every nerve to i'm
prove that part of the defense OF the
country confided to their care.
The immediate purchase OF large
number OF rapid-fring guns for the sea
coast defenses has been authorized by
Secretary OF War Alger. So urgent is
the necessity for prompt action in this
matter deemed that the allotment of
the $50, 900, 900 carried by the Cannon
defense bill will not be awaited before
making the purchases. Orders have
been given to the various arsenals and
armories controlled by the government
to increase their working forces to
their fullest extent in order to expedite
the completion Of existing projects.

DOLE HOME AGAIN.
lie Believes That Annexation VIII Ulti-
matcly Succeed.

San Francisco, March 10. - The
steamer China which left Hong Kong

"a, arrived today, bringing these Ha-
waiian advices:
President Dole returned to Honolulu
the morning of the 4th. After cabi-
net meeting held Immediately upon his
arrival he was interviewed by press
representative. He spoke very frankly
on matters pertaining to his mission to
Washington.
"Yes, l shall be very glad indeed to
tell the people anything l may know
relative to annexation" said the presi-
dent. "Thc Maine disaster absorbed
the attention of the statesmen in Wash
ington previous to my departure for Ha-
waii. When that has quieted down
interest in Hawaiian annexation will
be paramount in congress. When l
was IN Washington l met many friends

TWO NEW WARSHIPS.
Goyernmen Buys Those Building in
England for Brazil.


Washington, March 14.-Hoping for
the best and prepared for the worst
about represents the situation in the
war and navy departments these days.
The officials still profess confidence that
there is to be a peaceful outcome OF
the present threatening differences, but,
meanwhile, prepare with serenity to
meet their duty, if events shape them
selves otherwise.
1t now seems probable that the Bra
lillian cruisers which have been several
times reported as having been sold to
Spain, will become the property of the
United States government, negotiations
for their purchase having been opened
in England. Other than these vessels,
the government has no warships in
sight for immediate purchase, accord
ing to department officials at Washing
ton.
The most important and significant
developments OF the day were the de-
cision of the house naval committee to
place ia The naval appropriation bill .
provision for three new battle-ships,
and conclusion, on the part of the
secretary of war, to issue tomorrow
morning an order creating a new mill
tary department, including within its
confines that part of the country which
would be in all likelihood nearest the
field of hostilities in case it would come
to that. The order will cause com
motion in the South.

BOWERY MISSION FIRE.



New York, March l5.-Eleven men
lost their lives in the fire which swept
the Bowery mission lodging-house tbs
morning and lett it blackened she'll
Their bodies are so charTed tnat most
III them may never he recognized. The
lead are supposed to be:
Elias Cuddy, 30 years old, address
not known.
John Moran, StapletOn, S. l.
McDermott, 20 years old. address not
known.
James O'ROurke.
James Soden, of SpottswOOd, n. j.
Six bodies unidentified.
No. lO5 Bowery is one of the best
known lOdging-houses on that thorough
fare. 1t is called the BOwery mission
clearinghouse, and is conducted by the
Christian Herald. In one part of the
building there is a cheap restaurant.
The second floor is used exclusively for
mission purposes, gospel meetings be-
ing held there daily. The two upper
floors We're fitted up as cheap lodgings,
with accommodations for 100 males,
who paid 10 to 20 cents each, accord
ing to the location of the room.
Last night almost every bed was was
occupied. At 1870 o'clock this morn
ing, one of the dodgers discovered flames
coming from a washroom on the third
floor, but before he had time to alarm
the house, the fire was noticed by per-
sons on the street. By this time the
flames had eaten their way to the top
of the building, and were bursting
through the ROOF when the alarm was
given and the inmates aroused. Wild
scenes of excitement ensued. Many of
the dodgers became panic-stricken.
They rushed into the halls and fell
over each other in their efforts to reach
the streets. Those on the lower floors
got to the streets safely by the stair
ways, while those on the upper floors
groped their way through the binding
smoke to the fire escape in front OF the
building. A majority of them saved
only portions OF their clothing, while
several of them were naked. Those
who made their way to the streets by
the fire escapes were specifically
burned by the excessive heat of the
iron ladders, which in many places had
become redhot from the flames within.
The fremen saved many lives.
