CONDITIONS ARE PERFECT
At Camp Thomas Yet Soldiers sicken
and Die,

Chickamauga Park, Tenn, Aug. 30
General H. v. Boynton, chairman of the
uga-Chattanooga National
Military park commission, ordered by
the war department to thoroughly in
vestigate the conditions at Camp
Thomas and report thereon, has COM
pleted his report and forwarded it to
on nearly every matter investigated.
The water is said to be good, the ground
well adapted for camping purposes, the
hospitals well located and the attention
given the sick as good as could be ex-
pected.
The indications are that the report
viii bring on a warm dispute, as num-
erOus statements contained therein are
contradicted by high army officials. The
full text of the report is expected to be
made public by the government officials
after they have passed on it. Owing to
a slight and unexpected hitch which
has occurred between the army officials
and the railroads, the work of moving
the first corps to Admission, Ala, has
not yet begun. Two regiments, the
First Mississippi and Third Tennessee
are expected to go tomorrow. It is the
intention of the officials to have the
seven artillery batteries away from the
park within As hours, but Major At
well, who is in command, states that
this will be almost impossible. The
batteries will not be mustered out here,
but will be sent to their respective
states. The two Georgia batteries will
go to Camp Northern, Griffin, Ga,
where they were mustered in. The four
Ohio batteries will probably go into
camp at Columbus, until mustered out,
but it is not yet known just where the
Indiana battery will go.

PROMPT ACTION
Taken by the karnival Knights
Today to Secure the Ha-
waiian Queen.

This morning c. K. Holiday, Jr., and
John Waters RENTED 5000 to Dan II.
Case at Honolulu by telegraph to be
used in covering the expenses of the
trip of the Hawaiian young lady, who
will act as queen of the Carnival, from
Honolulu to San Francisco. The money
was remitted by telegraph to San Fran
cisco where it will be forwarded by
boat to Honolulu.
A telegram was also sent to San
Francisco containing instructions about
the young lady and stating that she
would be met at San Francisco by
proper parties. The boat she will prob
ably leave Honolulu on is the Ala
media which leaves September IA and
arrives in San Francisco September 21.
The only boat that leaves San Francisco
in time to carry communications to
Honolulu before the time for the young
lady to leave starts from the coast on
September 8 and as there is no cable
communications with the Hawaiian Is
lands it was necessary to telegraph to
San Francisco in order to catch the
boat.
Everything has now been done by the
Karnival Knights that they can do and
no answer to the communications sent
today can be received before September
% although other communications from
Mr. Case may. be received before then.

Spaniards Fleeing From Philip
pine Insurgents
Lose Their Lives in a Storm in
the Archipelago.
ON SAILING VESSELS.
They We're Going to Surrender
to Dewey.
Searching Party Fails to Find
Amy Trace of Them.

Tacoma, Wn., Aug. 30-The Hong
Kong Daily Press is authority for the
statement that 900 Spaniards including
Is priests lost their lives several weeks
ago when the Spanish gunboat Leyte
was captured by a vessel belonging to
Admiral Dewey's squadron. The Leyte
had been stationed in an adjoining is
land, where the insurgents were num-
erous and aggressive. The latter were
gaining ground rapidly causing 900
Spaniards to board three sailing vessels
in an endeavor to escape from the ma
tives who would massacre them.
The gunbOat Leyte undertook to tow
these three transports to Manila bay
where the Spaniards aboard them were
to surrender to Admiral Dewey if they
did not succeed in landing somewhere
and reaching Manila under cover of
darkness. After the Leyte had tOWed
them down Pampangas river and some
distance along the coast a heavy storm
came up making it necessary for the
gunbOat to cut her tOWs loose and pro-
ceed to Manila for assistance Before
getting there she was captured by the
Americans the next day and an Ameri-
can vessel was dispatched to find the
three transports, but failed to discover
any trace of them.
The natives on the adjoining coast say
they saw nothing of any vessels. The
Hong Kong Press finally reached the
conclusion that the vessels foundered
with all on board.

besides the station under direct govern

the extension of the service will be a res

The drifting sands along the rivers and
coast were especially. watched and the
people interested will be shown by prac-
teal demonstration how to prevent the
sands blowing over the country. At one
point there was a fence 15 feet high to
keep the sands off the railway tracks and
telegraph poles and the work is much
needed in oregon and Washington. Prof.
Scribner in his report will recommend the
planting of seaside grass wild species of
sedge and beach grass now used at some
points to effect this purpose.

TO SEE FOR HIMSELF.
The President Will Visit Mon
tauk Park in Person.

Cleveland, Aug. 30.-While President
Mckinley very much desired to pay
more than a brief visit to his old home
in Canton, he finds that the duties of
his office are such that he will be
obliged to cut his visit there to a mere
call
The president will spend a couple of
days in camp at Montauk Point and
Camp Wikoff, so as to correctly inform
himself as to the condition of affairs
and the truth of the reports that have
been circulated from personal observa-
ton and contact with the men. The
presidential party will be at Colonel
Myron T. Herrick's residence in this
city until Thursday morning when they
will leave for Canton. Big preparations
have been made to receive the president
and Mrs. Mckinley there by their old
friends and neighbOrs and the people of
Canton in general. 1t was intended to
make the occasion a civic jubilee. All
this, however, will now be reduced in a
measure from the fact that President
Mckinley and party will only be in
Canton for two or three hours and will
then take a train for New York. I'm
doubted1y the president will be given
royal welcome during his short stop
over in Canton.
On the eastern trip, which is part of
the programme outlined, the presiden-
tial party will hardly stop longer at
New York than will be necessary to
eaten a tram LOT camp W1hOII ana
Montauk Point. The president will
probably be in camp at the two places
mentioned on Friday and Saturday,
leaving Mrs. Mckinley in New York
city, whittier he will return to spend
Sunday and then go to Washington.
The trip from Canton to New York
will be made over the Pennsylvania
road, departing from Canton during the
afternoon of Thursday. President Nc
Kinley and Mrs. Mckinley, the latter's
maid and Mr.. George B. Cortelyou, as
sistant secretary to the president, will
accompany the chief executive to New
York.
THE president really had no very
definite plans for spending his time
this trip when he started outP' said his
secretary. He made the plans along
the way and has been constantly re-
ceiving kilograms and other matters in
connection with the war that needed
his attention. President Mckinney and
party had intended spending two or
three days with the presidents brother
at Somerset, but the plans were
changed. 1t is the intention of the
president to get as much rest as pos
sible while here. He will probably
return to Washington for a short~ time
after this trip and intends taking a
longer vacation a little later this fall
During the morning President and
Mrs Mckinley, accompanied by Col.
and Mrs. Herrick went for a drive
through the parks.

day, jr., placed the matter before the
meeting giving every minute detail
and when motion was made to author
1ze Mr.. Holiday to name a committee
to have charge of the whole affair it
was carried without a dissenting vote.
Mr.. Holiday was instructed to take all
steps necessary in bringing the queen
to Topeka.
One thing is certain; a suitable escort
will accompany the queen from San
Francisco to Topeka. Who the escort
will be is yet to be decided. 1t may be
that some prominent gentleman and his
wife will go from Topeka to meet her
and it may be that some Topeka people
now in San Francisco may accompany
her. 1t is also suggested that detail
from the Twentieth Kansas now at San
Francisco act as military guard.
The Karnival Knights have been re-
quested to take in the Labor Day pa
rade. The red, white and blue umbrel-
las have arrived, but the caps are not
expected to be here before next week.
On a motion of Mr. Waters it was de-
cided to take part in the parade wheth-
er the caps arrived or not. In that case
every Knight is expected to be at the
transfer station at O'Clock Monday
morning, armed with an official K. K.
red, white and blue umbrella.
THE KarnivaI Knights have let the
contract for the official K. K. umbrellas
and caps to A. J. August said Mr.. G.
H. Trapp, I'VE have guaranteed 200 of
them and if they are not sold the Kar-
nivaI Knights will have to make up the
O0nC1E- move InaL a special K. K.
monogram be made and copyrighted
and no cap or umbrella is the official
uniform without being stamped with
that copyrighted monogram" The mo-
ton carried.
Mr.. Tom King, chairman of the mas
querade ball committee, reported that
the arrangements for the ball were
progressing and that it had been de-
cided that the queen would lead the
grand march.
DR.. H. w. Roby suggested that a
souvenir containing an official program
of the K. K. events, a picture of the
queen and some views of Hawaii be
published by the Knights. The sug-
gestion was adopted and Mr.. Roby was
appointed poet laureate for the Karni-
val Knights and he will write a poem
dedicated to the Hawaiian queen wnich
will be printed in the souvenir.
'"The official K. K. buttons have been
ordered" said Mr.. Hon day, 'and we
will have 1000 of them here soon.'

MILES MUST EXPLAIN.
A Big Row Brewing in the War
Department.

washington, Aug. 30-When General
Miles returns to Washington he W Il be
asked for an. explanation of recent inter-
views appearing, and the publication of
certain dispatches which the war de-
partment has not made public.
Secretary Alger says that the depart
ment will not enter into any contro-
versy with its subordinates and he does
not propose to discuss matters affect
ing General Miles during his absence.
The department is of the opinion that
General Miles made public the dispatch
es of the secretary, General Shafter and
himself published this morning. Such
action is regarded as a breach of mill
tary regulations but no military court
can secure proof that General Miles
made public the dispatch if he and
the person to whom they were fur
nished refuse to give the information
as several military trials have made it
settled law that no military court can
compel a civilian to testify if he does
not want to. General Miles also may
be called to account for the interviews
with him, as unless disavowed they
would place him in the attitude of crit
icising his superior officers and subject
him to military discipline
It is expected the controversy will ex-
tend to both houses of congress. 1t is
generally understood that the regular
force will have to be largely increased,
at least until the conquered islands are
disposed of, and it is feared that legis-
lation in this direction will be hampered
by the controversy between the secreta-
ry of war and the general in command
of the army.

KICKED TO DEATH.
Jewish Rabbi Killed by II Year
Old Boy.


Chicago, Aug. 3O.-seeking to save
child from the attack of a 17-year-old
boy, Louis Rosenbloom, a Jewish rabbi,
and a teacher of Hebrew, was himself
assaulted and kicked to death.
John Schlecta, the boy charged with
the murder, lives with his mother at
230 DeKoVen street.
In the same house lives a family
named Levi, and Rosenbloom had been
intrusted with the education of one of
the children of this family. Young
SchIecta had locked 3-year-oId Julius
Levi in a she'd and when the child's
mother objected he struck her in the
face. Hyman Levi, IL years old, the
boy whom Rosenbloom was teaching,
interfered in his mothers behalf, and
he was kicked into the street.
At this juncture the teacher arrived
and ordered Schlecta to leave the boy
alone. Sch1ecta turned on ROsenblOom
and struck him on the mouth, then fol-
lowed the blow up with a fierce attack
with his heels. Rosenbloom rolled into
but before he could rise Schlecta was
upon him and renewed the assault.
Half a dozen young men who had been
lettering in the vicinity, took a hand
in the attack and did not desist until
the cIang of a patrol wagon bell warm
ed them of the approach of the ponce.
BY the time the officers arrived they
had all fed and only ROsenblOom was
in the street. He was picked up and
died before the wagon could be started
for the hospital.
Rosenb1oom was born in Poland and
was 81 years of age. He graduated
from a university in Europe and was
America thirty years ago and settled
in Chicago.
