TROOPS FOR HONOLULU
REGIMENT OF UNITED STATES SOL
DIERS TO BE SENT TO HAWAII.
Commissioners for the Government of
the Islands Not Appointed Before
Congress Adjourned.

WASHINGTON, July S.--As a result of
the Cabinet meeting to-day ii was decided
to dispatch q regiment of troops 10 Homo
lulu Immediately, and the commandaEt at
the Preside, California, has been comnuni-
Gated with TO learn what forces are avail
able.
The Hawaiian commissioners who are 20
constitute the government of those islands
were not appointed before the adjournment
OF Congress. The deferment Of the an
nouncement of choice WAS due to other
duties of the President precluding the dis
position of the matter al once AS recess
alro.ntees they can proceed immediately to
the execution of COVE 'nment functions,
though open to conformation when Congress
reconvenes. The appointment of the mem
bers Of both the international Canad an
commission to settle all disputes between
Canada and the United States and the nom
partisan industrial commission to investi-
gate the entire subject of immigration,
labor manufacture and business also have
been deferred until later and will be made
as recess appointments subject to confirma-
ton next session. This announcement is au-
thoritative.
1t is probable that President Mckinley
will announce tomorrow the names of the
Hawaiian commissioners. Unoffcially it is
understood that four of the five commits
sioners will be Senator Cullom, of Illinois
Senator Morgan, of Alabama Representa-
tive Hit, of Illinois, and President Dole, of
the present Hawaiian republic. The fifth
member of the commission, it is reliably I'M
derstood, will be prominent member of
the Hawaiian judiciary. The commission,
as above indicated, is regarded as a par
ticularly strong body of men, we'll equipped
to undertake the great task before them
Both Mr.. Cullom and Mr.. Morgan are
members of the Senate committee on for
egn relations, and both have been intimate
ly identified with the negotiations looking
to the annexation of the Hawaiian islands.
Mr.. Hit is chairman of the House commit
tee on foreign relations. His position in the
House and his experience in the diplomatic
service will render his services on the COM
mission of great value.

rainstorm. The work of transshipping the
soldiers was accomplished without mishap
BY some mistake one company of the Sixth

them out to the transports.
Gen. Nelson A. Miles and his staff arrived
in the city at $3.50 D. m. AT o'clock Gen

Recently l.. E. Barnes, son of ex-senator
Barnes, while hunting ran a fox to cover

Arterburn, of st. Matthews, KY, explored
the cavern, having a most successful trip
Ihey tied a guide line at the entrance and

long galleries and st chambers hung with
beautiful and gigantic stalactites which

Quartermaster Lee Secures Trans
pOrtatiOn for Camp Thomas Troops.
CHICKAMAUGA PARK, Ca, July s.
The army at Camp Thomas is now as nearly
equipped armies get to be, and is ready,
aside from the recruits, to go to the front.
To-day Colonel Lee, chief quartermaster,
closed arrangements for the railway trans
portation necessary to move any number
of troops that may be ordered out In this
connection Col William Richards said that
the entire army was ready to GO but that
no important move was likely to occur until
sufficient transports have reached Charles
ton. There will be no delay here in send
ing the soldiers forward. Among the arti-
cles of equipage distributed by Captain
Rockwell chief ordnance officer, to-day.
were 5000 pounds of horse equipments for
the First Illinois Cavalry; 500 pounds of
Morse equipment Tor Captain Prater Troop
ID First Kentucky Cavalry, and a Quantity
or haVersackS canteenS, ETC.. for the four
Pennsylvania regiments
Inc paymaSter finished having the troonS
to-day and will be ready to proceed to
camps further south Tomorrow The
amount paid out here will run TO nearly 81
0UUVUV, each regiment averaging $3S 600 The
large amount OF money paid out has had its
good and bad effects 1t has enabled the men
1 wn3 nave been out of funds for many
Whlch they were really in need, and it has
also enabled the worst element of the men
TO get drunk and cause trouble both in the
camp and in Chattanooga. The trouble in
Chattanooga has been so serious that now
1t is very difficult for privates, or in fact
any enlisted man, to secure leave of alb
sence for Chattanooga. The majority of men
who go to the city every day jump the
guards. A general order has been issued at
the camp directing that no man be per-
mitted TO leave camp without an order from
division headquarters. The man must make
application day before TO his colonel who
must refer it 30 the adjutant and then the
paper goes TO division headquarters, where
1t Is approved or disapproved. Many appli-
cations for passes are rejected. Many men
have sent their money home. The Camp
Thomas postofhce has averaged $4,000 day
on money orders since the beginning of the
week, and several additional clerks have
been put on to handle the increased bust
ness.
Brigadier General Ross, commanding the
Third Brigade. Second Division. First Army
Corps, believes in training scouts and sharp
shooters and will at once introduce a new
feature at Camp Thomas. He has issued
an order directing that eight good men out
or each company should act as sharpshoot-
ers and scouts. This detachment will be
placed under two lieutenants in each of
the three regiments in the brigade and
drilled IN this special line of work The
organization will ct once be perfected.

CAMP ALGER, Va, July S-Major Fee,

car Leck, of Terre Haute, member of the
hospital corps, and the patient is we'll on
There was some disappointment and some
pleasure yesterday when the order to move
the hospital corps of this brigade was coun-
fernandez. Some of the members want to
go at once, but the majority would prefer
to stay with the regiment and go to the
front together. 1t is now reported that Gen.
Graham and the bulk of the Second Army
Corps will go in the Porto Rico expedition.
The announcement that the First Brigade,
in which the hundreds ifty-ninth is
now placed, will be changed. seems to have
been without foundation at present al
though there may be some changes at any
time in brigades. 1t has become plain to the
officers of the One-hundred-a nd-fifty- ninth
that the regiment will not be moved until
all OF those commands with friends near the
throne have gone. Every effort is being
made to secure the full equipment of the
iegiment, which has now been promised
within the present week. The next regiments
slated to leave are the First New Jersey
and the First Rhode Island.
A pretty good story is told on one of the
new men who was serving as guard at the
post of the guard for the first time. The
corporal did not know of his newness so
he merely cautioned him to keep sharp
watch for the officer of the day. When Capt
Zoller, who was filling that position, APP
peared on the scene, he was astonished to
hear the sentinel say: Captain, you had
better stay around here more. The corporal

PRISONERS MACHETED.
Cuban Insurgents Showed Spaniar g
No Quarter Near Caney.

Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press)
BEFORE SANTIAGO, July T. per the
Associated Press boat Dauntless, via Port
Antonio and Kingston, Jamaica, July 8, l
p. m.-One secret of the determination of
the Spanish soldiery in Santiago to fight to
death was the belief which prevailed gen.
orally among them that prisoners taken by
the Americans would be put to the sword
1t is now known that after the fall of Ell
Caney, on July l. the Spanish soldiers who
escaped along the foothills marched directly
into General Garcias men, posted to the
north of Santiago. They fought desperate
ly, but were shown no mercy by the Cubans
and were macheted to the last man. Gen.
Delryne who was in command was bru-
tally mutilated. The knowledge of this
massacre found its way into Santiago and
prompted the Spanish resolution to die
rather than surrender.
The voluntary surrender of some of the
VIC unded Spanish officers and men has dis
PEELED the delusion, and is helping to induce
General Toral to consider the proposition to
capitulate. After the fall of FL Caney the
Cubans sacked the town. Information of
two outrageS was promptly sent to General
Shafter, who issued orders that any Cuban
found rifiing the bodies of dead or wounded
Spaniards would be promptly dealt with.
To prevent the possibility of Cubans plum
dering Santiago when it capitulates, it has
been decided to forbid the Cubans entering
the town.
Owing to the danger of yellow fever none
of the soldiers will be allowed to go in.
Just what arrangements will be made re-
mains for the future to disclose.
Lieutenant Brooke says that during the
assault upon Santiago three million rounds
of ammunition were used. OF course thou
sands of pounds were lost and it safely
be assumed that fully three thousand shots
were wasted to every one that fairly found
the mark.
1t was Sergeant Mckinney of Company
b, Ninth Infantry who shot and disabled
General Linares the commander of the
Spanish forces in Santiago. The Spanish
general was hit about an hour after San
Juan Hill was taken during the first days
fighting Our men saw Spanish officer,
evidently a general, followed by his staff,
riding frantically about the Spanish posi-
ton, ralIying his men. Sergeant McKin-
merry asked Lieutenant Wisers permission
to try shot at the officer and greatly re-
GREETED to find the request refused. Major
Bole was consulted He acquiesced with
the injunction that no one else should fire.
Sergeant Mckinney went for a she'll, slid
thousand yards and fired. 1t fell short.
Then he put in another, raised the sights
for another thousand yards, took careful
aim and let her go. The officer on the white
horse threw up his arms and fell forward.
THAT is for Corporal Joyce said McKin-
merry as he saw that his ball had reached
the mark. The officer on the white horse
was General Linares himself. 1t was after
wards learned that he was shot in the left
shoulder. He Immediately relinquiShed the
command to General Toral
