Faith In the Survival of Aeronaut Andres
and His Return from the
Frozen Zone.

CHICAGO, April 6.-Evelyn B. Bald
win, who visited the Andrea balloon
station Spitzbergen, and who volun-
tecred to accompany the daring aero
nau on his voyage to the north pole,
but could not on account of the linn
tied capacity of the balloon, was inter-
viewed yesterday afternoon regarding
the bulletin from Victoria, Il. c. Mr..
Baldwin said:
while l can scarcely believe the re-
port-it seems too good to be true-yet
l realize hat it is not impossible that
Andrea may have arrived in Alaska, for
to accomplish that feat was his most
ardent desire. That he could have done
so by this time. provided his
balloon carried him far enough
eastward, say to some point on
the sea ice north of Alaska, is
proven by the safe arrival of a captain

after Il six months journey southwark.
Andree may have arrived at some
point in the Tchookchee peninsula, off
northeastern Siberia. last autumn, as
Baron Nordenskjold believed he would,
and as Andree himself thought he
might. and thence made his way across
Behring strait to Alaska.
PERSONALLY L have held that Andree
you'd most likely be heard from in
Franz Josef Land, and had about COM
plet1d arrangements to assist in the
search for him in that region, my
plans being to start next month. re-
ceived a letter this morning from Capt.
Ernst Andree, of Sweden Ia brother OF
the aeronaut), and the captain ex-
pressed his belief in his brothers re.
turn, and that the world would hear
from him not later than next August"

Important Announcement of the Chief
Architect of the TransmIssissippi EX-
position at Omaha, Neb.

OMAHA, Neb., April 4.-The an
nouncement was made yesterday upon
authority of the chief architects of the
Transmississippi exposition that all
construction work will be finished in
ample time for the installation of ex-
hibits and the perfection of concessions
by the opening day, June 1.
The large buildings are nearly ready
for the artistic decorations save the
fue arts building and the immense
structure which the United States gov
eminent is building. On the latter the
staff work is nearly done, and the dome
is receiving the finishing touches. The
concessionaires are pushing construc-
ton work rapidly, as are the various
states, 10 of which are erecting build
ings.
A telegram from Albany says the
Empire state has made an ample ap.
preparation which will enable the state
commission, of which Chauncey NJ.
Depew and DR.. Seward Webb are the
leading spirits, to make a large state
exhibit.
The governor of Indiana has ap.
pointed a state commission, which
will prepare a state exhibit. Ohio,

A MAGNIFICENT PRESERVE.
Miles, Which Will Accommodate
One Hundred Thousand Troops.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-The war de-
partment and the general of the army
are considering the question of utili.
zing the IL square miles which the gov
ernment owns at the Chickamauga
military park as the point for concen-
trating troops in the south for organ
ization and instruction, and also as the
location of such reserves as may be
needed for the gulf and south Allan
tic Notifications from New Orleans
to Charleston. Such portions of
the reserve as might be needed
could reach any of these Notifications
in II hours from Chickamauga. When
not needed they would be in healthier
camps than on the coast in hot weather.
A railroad with two stations at the
park skirts its western boundary.
There are 5000 acres of open woods,
from which all underbrush has been
removed, and 1,600 acres of dry fields,
the whole suitable for excellent camps.
Immediately after the passage of the
bill making this park a national
maneuvering ground the park commits
sion began to consider the question OF
securing IN abundant water supply
and to distribute it with a view to fur
nishing the best camping grounds. In
addition to six excellent springs and
five ordinary wells, the eight artesian
wells have been sunk in such places as
to furnish the best results for camps.
Locations for four more OF these Wells
have just been selected by the commits
sion, and preparations have been made
for sinking them at onc in case the
decision for military concentration
there is reached. Meantime 10000
troops can be provided with excellent
camps.
In the clearing out of the forests the
idea of the park becoming the army
maneuvering grounds was kept in view
by the commission, and their orders
were to leave room everywhere Sutfi-
cient for teams or batteries to drive
between the trees. AS a result, every
portion of the IL square miles is prac-
ticable for wheels.
All portions of the park are reached
by the best roads. There is ample
room to camp $4,000 troops. The en-
tire park is high and dry, none of it
being subject to overflow. No other
nation possesses such a ground. Over
100, 900 men fought for two days within
the present limits of the park. All
the fighting lines and all the
lines of tactical movement have
been ascertained and marked,
and are concisely explained on
historical tablets. The road mile
age of the park system is 100 miles,
and ~traverses seven distinct battle
fields.
For these reasons officers of high
rank regard the park as a military
possession of special Importance at the
present time.

CONGRESSMAN QUIGG's IDEA.
Fa-oreda Resolution lnstructing the Presl-
dent to Drive Spain From the
Western Hemisphere.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-Congressman
Lemuel Quigg, of New York, is in favor
of reporting a resolution ~instructing
the president to drive Spain from the
western hemisphere. Il think there
should be concerted action between
the executive and the two houses of
congress- said he. THE president
should call both committees to the
White House and read the message
to them. The message should hold
Spain strictly accountable, and the an
swer of congress should be a resolu-
ton desiring him to drive Spain from
the western hemisphere.

COMMODORE sCHLEY READY.
Has Notified the Authorities at Washing
ton that He Can Sail at an
Hours Notice.

FoRT MONROE, Va, April Com.
modore w. S. Schley will to-day notify
the authorities at Washington that,
with the arrival Of the Texas, he will
be ready to move at an hours notice.
The most formidable squadron of fast
fighters v gotten together is COM
plete with the exception of the Texas.
The cruiser Minneapolis began at
noon yesterday to change her coat, and
the painting will be finished to-day at
noon. Her bunkers are filling with
coal and, like the other vessels of the
fleet, she is fully ammunitioned.
Commodore Schley expects the bat
tleship Texas within the next twenty
four hours. Despite the enforcement
of the Sunday observance law in New
port News, which has had the effect OF
stopping Sunday work on the battle
ships Kearsarge and kentucky, the
divers, three in number, continued work
on the bottom of the battleship Massa-
chusetts yesterday. and made such
progress hat Capt. Higginson believes
they will be able to finish by nightfall
to-day.
The work on the Brooklyn has been
fully completed, and her eight-inch
turret guns will now throw 4 much
greater distance. The Columbia has
finished painting and coaling, and is in
splendid condition. Commodore Schley
understands the Texas is thoroughly
completed in improvement, is painted
the prevailing lead color and is allready
for sea as soon as she arrives here.
Varying as are the opinions as to this
assemblage of fighting boats, it is gen.
orally admitted by naval and army
men here that it is imposing.
In addition to the. active naval prep
~aration here, Fort Monroe is being inn
proved rapidly. The dynamos for the
big electric s~earchlight were adapted
Saturday night, and the light is now
in operation. The emplacements for
the rapid-fire and disappearing guns
will be finished this week, and this i'm.
portant point will then be in some.
what modern condition from a wa
standpoint.
Commodore Schley will probably take
the Brooklyn out to sea to-day to try
her turret guns.

BROWNSVILLE, Tex, April 6.-Twc
killings and a l~ynching happened here
within three-quarters of an hour yes
terday. Sam Cobb, a deputy sheriff,
and his brother, Felipe Cobb, who was
a constable, were shot down by Carlos
Guellen. Guellen was wounded by Sam
Cobb.
1t seems that the latter was riding
hastily from an election booth, having
heard Il row was in progress some
where near. and that Constable Cobb
and a policeman were rushing along
after him OF loot. At the corner of an
alley Guellen sprang out and fired at
sam Cobb, who returned the fire.
Both fell to the ground. Cobb then
rushed up and Guellen rose from the
ground and shot him twice, killing
him almost instantly. \ young brother
of Guellen appeared at the same mo-
ment and shot Felipe. Both Guellens
were arrested, but the younger one
escaped in the excitement.
A mob at once gathered, broke into
the Jail and shot Carlos Guellen, kill
ing him in his cell. The body was
dragged forth into the street and the
crowd vas going to burn it, out cooler
counsel prevailed, and the body was
taken back to the Jail.
The trouble grew out of a previous
quarrel between CULLEN and the Cobbs.
CULLEN was considered a desperate
