SORROW AT HAZEL BLUFF
FRIENDS OF Ex-GOV. MATTHEW'S
FLOCKING TO HIS OLD HOME.
Complying with the Governors Life
time Request, There VIII Be
No Funeral POmp.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.


CLINTON, Ind, Aug. 30.-The arrange
ments for Ex-Governor Matthews's funeral.
which takes place at Hazel Bluff farm at
IL 80 o'clock tomorrow, are completed and
all is in readiness for the last sad rites. At
the joint meeting of the Council and citi-
zens, held last night, committees were ap-
pointed to look after the several municipal
details. Conveyances have been secured for
the transportation of those coming from a
distance to and from Hazel Bluff farm,
thus avoiding crowding at the church. 1t
was feared there were not sufficient num-
ber of carriages in Clinton and twenty cabs
have been ordered from Terre Haute. The
doors of private residences will be thrown
open for the entertainment of strangers and
it is hoped that in this way the hospitality
of Clinton will be equal to the emergency.
Already friends of the Ex-Governor are ar
irving and by noon tomorrow the little city
will be thronged with people from all parts
of the State who have come to pay a last
tribute of respect to the ex-chef executive,
who by his moral courage and kindly dis
position has won place in the hearts of all
who knew him. Every train coming into the
Clinton depot is freighted with flowers con-
signed from nearly every city and town in
the State and a conveyance is kept busy
transferring the fragrant offerings to Hazel
Bluff farm.
Word has just been received that Rev.
Joseph f. Milburn, of Indianapolis, is on his
vacation and cannot reach Clinton at the
time fixed for the funeral This leaves Rev.
r. w. Souders to conduct the funeral. There
will be no funeral procession in the full
sense of the term, as it was the eX-Gov-
ernor's request that there be no pomp or
display when the time came to consgn his
remains to earth. After the services at the
farm the remains will be brought to this
city and taken to the Presbyterian Church,
where they will lie in state for two hours.
The family. immediate relatives and a few
for the move to the cemetery. They will
then drive to the cemetery where there will
be another short service. Miss Helen Mat
thews is completely Frustrated and there is
much anxiety regarding the outcome of her
condition. She is receiving careful attention
and it is hoped she will regain her strength
and composure by the arrival of the funeral
hour. Mrs. Matthews, who was almost pros
trated yesterday has recovered and is bear
ing up we'll She has haggard care-worn
appearance, however, and plainly shows the
effects of the ordeal through which she is
passing. The family is receiving an ava
lanche of kilograms from all directions of
the country expressing deepest sympathy
and offering words of coincidence.
A special train leaves Indianapolis at 8
o'clock tomorrow, bringing party of state
officials and citizens from the capital.

Friends of the President Hint at a
Terrible Punishment.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 80. - The best
friends of General Miles are beginning to
wish that he had refrained from attacking
the War Department and General Shafter,
and thereby opening up controversy
which, while it may result in the besmirch-
ing of the regulations of the officials in the
department, may not leave him free from
stain. They realizing that he has
placed himself in very uhdignihed posi-
ton, and that. come what may, he will be
likely to fall many degrees in public esti-
natiop. The officials OF the War Office
against whom General Miles is directing his
batteries, are preparing to fight back Since
he insists on being one of the central and
responsible figures in the conduct of the
war, they are going to make him share part
of the odium with them of whatever mis-
management there may have been. Up to
the time the inspired newspaper articles be-
gan TO appear exploiting General Miles and
disparaging the War Department. every
body was disposed TO regard him as the one
man in high position In the military estab-
lishment who was not TO blame for what
is now termed the camp horrors" or the
lamentable condition of the soldiers at San
tiago.
The War Department being a part of the
administration, 1t is not surprising that
among the generality of officials in Wash
ington sympathy is beginning to turn to-
wards the War Office. Among these people
there is strong feeling of resentment
against General Miles. a disposition to ac-
commodate him in his evident search for
trouble. An interview with General Gros-
venor. of Ohio, gives picturesque color
to one view of the unhappy controversy. He
said
Il have nothing to say as to the merits
of the misunderstanding between General
Miles and the officials of the War Depart
ment he is cunning for. but l may state as
general proposition that l do not believe
that men VINO have done nothing can sue
cessfully attack men who have won VIC
tories and can point 10 results. General
Shafter. under the direction of the War Of
fee, captured Santiago. That was the OBJ
through Chicago, and to take care of those
who are unable 10 continue their journey
home. DR.. Reynolds, health commissioner.
and President Healy of the county board,
and the police department will act in con-
junction in the matter. President Healy
has directed that all sick soldiers be ad-
mtted to the Cook County Hospital without
apy formality or quibbling. DR.. Reynolds

state officers. Resolution.

The state officers have adopted the fol-
lowing memorial out of respect to Governor
Matthews:
Whereas In the administration of earth
ly affairs the Supreme Ruler OF the Universe
has removed our friend and associate
Claude Matthews to the presence and serv-
ice of his God, and
Whereas His summons came unwarned
and hurriedly, and his departure was with
out pain the knowledge of dissolution,
gracious in moment of respite, wherein
wife and children received a farewell of
recognition; therefore
Resolved, That we recognize in his death
the controlling spirit that animated his life,
a supreme devotion to his family and be-
loved wife.
Resolved. That as public officer he was
faithful to his duty, alert to the interests
of the people and patriotically devoted to
the State. whose interests he served with
marked fidelity, and, on occasions of great
exigency, without selfishness and for the
common welfare.
Resolved, That the simplicity and virtue
of his home life. his always courtly manner.
his unaffected and generous nature, his 10y
al and commanding friendships his honest.
dignified and distinguished public service
make mis- death real loss to the State. and
his virtues worthy the emulation of her
sons.
Resolved. That copy of these resolu-
tions be presented to Mrs. Matthews as q
testimonial of our regard for the honored
statesman. her husband. and that we at
tend his funeral service in a body"

His Future Policy VIII BE to ReOr-
ganize the Spanish Army.

MADRID, Aug. 30.-General Weyler has
outlined his future policy. He proposes, it
appears, to be Independent both of the gov
ernment and of the opposition, always
aiming to preserve the country and to re-
organize the army" He expresses the belief
that the Carlists have plenty of money,
some of which, he alleges, comes from
France. He says the United Republicans
have no personal animus against the Queen,
their only object being to adopt firm,
international stand, one result of which
would be to check in some measure Eng
lands ambition"
General Weyler's statement was made to
a committee of the Weyler Club, which
called on him this morning at Palma, Ma
jorca, where he is staying. This evening he
expects to speak before a club convention
1t is represented that the general is re-
turning to politics in response to many ap-
peals from Spain and from abroad and it is
added that ne will attend the sessions of
the Cortes and expound his views as to the
causes of the war disasters The substance
of General Weyler's declaration to the dele
cation of the Weyler Club is as follows:
The general intends to advocate a sweep
ing policy of rehabilitation of the govern
ment. He will refuse to aid in any tenn
tary dictatorship for the reorganization of
the army and navy Their honor, he re-
marked, has been lost as we'll as the An
titles, owing solely to military deficiencies
General Weyier expressed the belief that
the present Cabinet will be succeedd by a
military dictatorship or by a Silvela Min
istry. He added that he did not desire a
change in the form of government. but he
pointed out that the Carlists have an ex-
cellent organization.
Continuing, the former captain general of
Cuba urged Spain to abandon her attitude
of international neutrality, in order to be
prepared to oppose Great Britain, when the
latter. desiring to enlarge her sphere of
action at Gibraltar, demands the Sierra
Carbonera, Melilla or other adjacent Span
ish possessions. The general deemed it
better to lose the Philippine islands. the i'm
portance of which he did not appreciate,
than territory around Gibraltar. In con-
clusion, General Weyler deplored the loss
of the Antilles for the sake of the Spanish
who resided in the islands and on account
of the national commerce
General Weyler, presiding this evening
over the Weyler Club convention, alluded
to the disasters Spain has suffered and
must retrieve" He complained that tre
press censorship would prevent the liking
of the responsibility which politicians are
trying to throw on the army and navy"
He promised that he would speak plainly
and place himself forthwith "at the head

Sagasta, After n Conference, Promises
to Announce Spain's Conn
missioners TO-Dayo

LONDON, Aug. 30.-A dispatch to the
Daily Telegraph from Manila, dated Aug.
27, says: ''All the outskirts of Manila are
in state of complete anarchy. The insur-
gents are hunting and pillaging the Span
iards, while the natives generally are sack
ing villages, robbing vehicles and stealing
horses"
The Manila correspondent of the Times
says: General Wesley Merritt's last off,
cial act before leaving was to sign a per-
mission for the insurgents to send an ennis
sary to represent them at the proceedings
of the Paris grand commission. General
Aguinaldo has sent an agent to Hong Kong
to inform Filipe Agoncilo, the insurgent
leader, of his appointment for this duty.

as intendente."

Commissioners Not Named.

MADRID. Aug. 80, 10 p. m.-Sener Ssgasta
had long conference with Lieutenant Cen
eral Correa, minister of war. on the subject
of measures to assist the Spanish officials
in the Philippines, whose situation is pre-
carious. 1t was decided to intrust to oEl-
GERS of the colonial army the registration Of
lands and similar duties. The Cabinet coun-
Gil tomorrow, says Senior Sagasta, will deal
with the nomination of the peace commits
sioners; and, so far as possible commits
sioners will be appointed who are convers-
ant with international law. financial mat
ters and colonial questions, especially re-
garding the Philippines. In fact, this last
point will largely determine the choice cf
the commissioners. The opinion regarding
the American commissioners held here is
that they will have tendency to treat
Spanish interests harshly, but are, never
theIess likely to carry out President Nc
Kinleys ideas
