Ninth and Tenth Cavalry Embarked
Yesterday = Lieut.. Wood Dead
Skaters Health Report.

Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 12.-The Rio
Grande arrived this morning with the
Fifth volunteer immune regiment, I'M
der Colonel Sargent, and the Second
regular cavalry.
The Rio Grande will leave tomorrow
for Montauk point with the Ninth and
Tenth cavalry. This shipment, the
final shipment of the First division
troops, contradicts all charges of dis
elimination against the colored troops.
The original plan was to leave the
Ninth and Tenth cavalry here as i'm
munes, but in order to avoid a chance
of suspicion of discrimination, they
have been ordered to embark. The
Mobile will sail tomorrow with the
Eighth and Twenty-second regulars
and the Second Massachusetts. The
remainder of the volunteers of the pro-
visional division are expected to leave
next week.
Owing to a lack of coal, the embarka
ton of Spanish troops on the Isla de
Luzon has been delayed, but they will
be shipped ON Monday.
The Ward line steamer Philadelphia
sailed for New York today, carrying
back the greater part of the cargo she
brought, owing to the fact that there
is no market here for anything at pres
ent, as the government, the Red Cross
and the relief societies have glutted
the city. Nobody is purchasing what
can be got for nothing.

WORK FOR UTAH CAVALRY.
Will See That the Sheep Keep Off the
Grass.

Washington, Aug. 12.-The secretary
of the interior has received a report
from Acting superintendent Sevilly.
stationed in California, to protect the
national parks from trespassing sheep
herds. Mr.. Sevilly has finished a por-
ton of the work, and troop A, Utah
cavalry, has been detailed to patrol the
parks. He says that 10000 sheep have
been elected. SO bands in all, from
Yosemite park, and it is thought that
the work has been as successful in the
General Grant and Sequoia parks The
herds had been so long in Yosemite
park that nearly all the grass and
other forage had been destroyed
Some confusion exists in California
in regard TO the action, and il is the
intention of the interior department
that it be distinctly understood that no
animals under any circumstances will
be permitted to Craze upon the public
reservations, and that all measures
necessary will be taken to keep the
parks free from them. Only those per-
sons who have patented lands will be
permitted to Craze cattle, and before
this is allowed the metes and bounds
of the patented lands must be definitely
ascertained and marked. This rule has
been made necessary by the fact that
number of persons own or lease small
tracts of patented land in the vicinity
of the parks and while pretending to
Craze their sheep and cattle upon them
make no effort whatever TO prevent
them from trespassing upon the reser-
walton. No action has been taken
against the persons elected, but Mr..
Sevilly says that he will be ready to
supply witnesses if it is decided to
prosecute them.

OFFICE FOR DAY.
Secretary of State Will Become a
District Judge.

Louisville, KY, Aug. PA special to
the Commercial from Chattanooga,
Tenn. says: Secretary Day will be
appointed United States judge for the
Sixth circuit as soon as he resigns from
the cabinet at the close of the war.
1t is learned that several months
ago Judge Taft of Ohio, the associated
judge of the Sixth circuit, went to
President Mckinley and made a per-
sonal request that another judge for
the circuit should be appointed. His
reason for this was that the court en-
braces four important states, Ohio,
Michigan, Kentucky and Tennessee
and that only two judges are allowed,
whereas other circuits not so large are
given four or more. The work of the
circuit, he showed, required an addi-
tional judge.
The result of the. conference was that
the president very frankly and unre-
servedly stated that he intended to APP
point Judge Day to the place at the
close of the war.

FIGHT WITH ROBBERS.
One Desperate and An Officer Killed
In Colorado.


Denver, Aug. PA special to the
Republican from Breckenridge, Colo,
says A well-planned hold-up took
place here in the Denver hotel, but ow-
ing to the alarm caused by the acct
dental discharge of a shotgun held
by one of the three robbers, their
movements were so hurried that they
did not go through the safe or cash
drawer, and only secured about $50 in
money from a till, several gold watches
and other jewelry.
This afternoon Sheriff Wetwiller and
a posse encountered the robbers near
Kokomo, and running fight took
place. One of the robbers, Steve Ryan,
is reported killed and another, named
Mantry, badly wounded. Charles Ryan
was captured by the posse, and an
other man by the name of Ryan, sus-
pected of being implicated in the rob-
berry, is still at large, but is being pur
sued by the posse.
Ex-Deputy Sheriff NJ E. Conrad, one
of the posse, was killed in the fight,
and Sumner Whitney, another mem
Der. was seriously wounded. Conrad
formerly resided in Pennsylvania,
where his parents are now. The prob
abilities are that there will be a
lynching at Kokomo tonight.
Reports received here at midnight
are to the effect that small bodies of
armed men are coming into Kokomo
from the neighboring camps for the
purpose of lynching Manley should his
wounds not prove fatal. The sheriff
has succeeded in keeping the mob from
the prisoner by allowing a committee
of their number to enter the jail for
the purpose of Satisfying themselves
that the injured man was in danger of
dying. 1t is said that Manley is sink
ing fast, and cannot live throughout
the night, and this alone can prevent
his being lynched

IRON AND STEEL COMBINE.
Three Big Western Concerns Will
Fight the Carnegies.

Cleveland, O.. Aug. 12.-Mr. Samuel
Mather, a director of the Minnesota
Iron company. was asked concerning
the reported consolidation of three big
steel companies, among which are the
Illinois Steel company and the Mime
sofa Iron company.
He admits that such an amalgama-
ton has been discussed, but said he
had not heard of the appointment of a
committee to investigate the affairs of
the Minnesota company, although he
said it was likely that such a commit
tee had been named if the deal had
progressed as far as the report would
indicate.
The Cambria Iron company and the
Lachawanna Iron & Steel company
were the other concerns which have
been considered in the proposed deal,
MIR. Ma:her said. He did not know,
however, which one of them was the
third concern to be included in the
trust. Should the consolidation of the
Illinois Steel company, the Minnesota
Iron company, Cambria Iron company
ard the Lackawanna Iron & Steel com
pany be effected, a formidable rival to
the immense Carnegie interests will
have entered the lists in the iron and
steel fields of the world.

New York, Aug. ia dispatch to the
Herald from Gibraltar says: The officers
and men of the Buena Ventura. Catalina,
Guido and Miguel Jover arrived Wednes-
day on board the Hesoer.a and were
trans-shipped direct to Algc;ras. They
complain bitterly of their treatment at
Tampa. They say they We're i'll fed and

and that sentinels were brutal. They
We're, they say, confined in a small bar

is said. actually offered themselves as
volunteers N the American navy They
were, they say, well treated at New York,
their treatment being quite different, good
food and presents of clothing, cigars and
money being given them on their arrival.
At Algciras the poor fellows are hav-
ing a shocking time. Their luggage is
quarantined and no quarters are provided
for them. They are sleeping in the streets
and are starving and begging money to
communicate with their families to OBJ
tain funds to reach their homes. The
authorities are treating them like dogs.

SOLDIERS WHO DID NOT FIGHT
M'KINLEY PRAISES THOSE WHO
WE'RE LEFT BEHIND.
ALI Performed Their Full Duty, AL
though They Took Part In No
Campaign-Entitled to Gratitude.

Washington, Aug. 12.-The following
official correspondence between Presi-
dent Mckinley and General Breckin
ridge, in which the president pays trib-
ute to the troops who could not be
sent to the front was made public to-
day:
'Chickamauga Park, Ca, Aug, 10.
1S9S.-The President-May 1 not ask
you, in the name and behalf OF the
40,600 men of this command, to visit II
while it is still intact? There is much
to be said showing how beneficial and
needed such a visit is, but you will ap-
preciate better than I can tell the dis
appointment and consequent depreS-
sion many men must feel, especially
the sick, when they joined together for
a purpose and have done so much TO
show their readiness and worthiness TO
serve their country in the field, but
find themselves leaving the military
service without a battle or a campaign.
All who see them must recognize their
merit and personal interest You will
encourage all if you can find time 10
review the command.
BRECKENRIDGE,
Major General Commanding.
Following is the presidents reply:
Executive Mansion, Washington
Aug. II, 1898. Major General Breckin-
ridge, Ch1ckamauga Park, Ga--Reply-
ing to your invitation, l beg to say that
it would give me great pleasure TO
show by a personal visit to Chicka-
manga park my high regard for the 49,
900 troops of your command, who SO
periodically responded to the call for
volunteers and who have been for up
wards of two months making ready Tor
any service and sacrifice the country
might require. My duties, however,
will not admit of absence from Wash
ington at this time.
1.-The highest tribute that can be paid
to the soldier is to say that ne per-
formed his full duty. The field of duty
is determined by his government. and
wherever that chances to be is the place
of honor.
"All have helped in the great cause,
whether in camp or battle, and when
peca ecomes, all will be entitled to the
nations gratitude.

HANDSOME SOUVENIR.
Union Pacific Issues a Neat Little
Pamphlet

The Union Pacific has gotten out a
souvenir of the Omaha exposition, de-
voted exclusively to railroad matters.
showing the comparisons between rail-
way equipment of 90 or 60 years ago
and today. The first engine and first
train ever built and run in America
and those of even date are shown and
the comparison is amusing as well as
instructive. The book also shows en-
CINE No. 1, built at the Union Pacific
shops in 1866, and engine No. 1 900 con-
structed in 1890 No. l was a good old
kettle in her day but compared with
No. 1000 she is too light for heavy
work The book is well worth looking
over and as it contains a description
and history of the Lincoln Car it is
worth preserving.

CENSORSHIP REMOVED.
Telegraphs and Cables Again On a
Peace Footing.

Washington, Aug. 12-The restraints
which necessarily were placed by the
government during the war upon COM
munication by cable will be removed
practically entirely tomorrow.
Directions We're sent this evening to
the censors at Key West and at New
York to be as lenient as possible in the
handling of messages pending the re-
ceipt of definite instructions. Orders
which probably will go out tomorrow
will remove, to all intents and pur-
poses, the censorship over cable COM
munications, except such as are in
tended for Cuba and Porto Rican
points. Over the cables to these islands
the censorship will be maintained, al
though it will be modified materially. 1t
is intended also tomorrow to remove
the restrictions which were placed upon
the sending of cipher messages to ia
maica and Hayti.

FUSION IN IDAHO.
Silver Republicans Think They Can
Garry the State Alone.

Blackfoot, Ida, Aug. 12.-The silver
Republicans hold their county conven-
ton at Idaho Falls tomorrow. More
or less trouble is expected: this is Sen
ator Dubois home county, and it is
well known that he very strongly IA
vors a union of all the silver forces.
There is large contingent of silver Re
publicans, however, who believe they
can carry the state by going it alone
and while smarting under the effects
of the combination of Populists and
Democrats the last time, which re-
suited in the defeat of Dubois and the
election of Heitfeldt as United States
senator, do not want to combine. The
Republicans are not taken into con-
sideration, and it is not supposed they
will nominate county tickets.
