WAR BOND SUITS.
Two Actions Filed Against Secretary
of the Treasury.

Washington. Sept. 3O.-Two mandamus
cases We're filed today in the supreme
court of the District of Columbia against
Lyman j. Gage, growing out of the issue
of bonds to carry on the war. In the
first case, William II. Wharton of Jersey
CITY. N. j., sets up that he was a sub
scriber for $500 of the bonds. He empow-
cred the Produce Exchange Trust COM
pany of New York to make the necessary
advancements on the bonds, holding them
as collateral. Thereafter, Secretary Gage
refused to make this allotment of bonds,
on the ground. il is said, that the SUBJ
scription was not bona fide, but was made
in the interest of a third parry.
The second suit is instituted by George
Wightman and seeks to restrain Secre-
tary Gage from setting aside the award
of many small lots of bonds, aggregating
S5.34O, which were to be handled through
the Produce Exchange Trust company.
The court placed the hearing for Oct. H.
+; Ex-Secretary. of the Treasury Carlisle
who was the predecessor of Mrh Gage. is
the attorney, for the plaintiffs. The cases
are understood to be- test cases for many
similar Cases

THE TROUBLE WITH PETE.
The Wave Didn't Bother Him-What
Did.

New York Sun: For the first time
in his life Rattlesnake Pete, one of the
crack cowboy members of ROOsevelts
rough riders, took an ocean bath to-
day. About 80 members of the regi-
ment escorted him to the wild sea
waves to witness the performance.
There was something of a surf rolling
in. but Pete who is not upon record as
being afraid of anything on sea or
land. opined that no waves like that
could rattle him.
'Ill go out further than any Of you,
he said. as he stripped off his clothing
Some of you fellows start in and I'll
come after"
-Four of the troopers dashed in and
plunged, and Pete tripped minclngiy
after them until he got up TO his
knees, then stopped and looked uneas-
ily at the white foam pouring in from
a surge that had just broken From

Custom House Will Be Taken at An
Early Date.

Washington. Sept. SO,-The cabinet
meeting today was devoted largely to
matters of detail in connection with the
formation of the army which is to be
sent to Cuba. Reports We're read to the
effect that by Oct 10 the danger from
yellow fever, will have passed and it is
understood that the movement Of the
troops will be begun about that time. The
conduct of the Spanish customs officers at
Havana is very unsatisfactory to the
president. and 1t is said to have been de-
cided to take possession of the custom
house there at an early date and admin
lister its affairs under regulations to be
prescribed by this government,
Information has reached the president
that the Spanish authorities at san Juan
recently took possession of and sent to
Spain about $40, 600 belonging to an as
sociation of school teachers. This matter
has been the subject of a protest sent to
the Spanish government. 1t is said to
be the purpose of this government to COM
pei its return, if possible, and if not, Wig
orous measures will be taken TO collect
1t from the persons responsible for its.
misrepresentation.
Secretary Hay attended the cabinet
meeting for the first time today and is
said TO have made very favorable i'm
preston on his colleagues.

the G. A r.
Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 3O.-Postmas-
ter. Wills received letter from Cen
eral Shafter today, dated Camp Wikoff,
Sept 20, in which he says OF news
paper attacks upon him:
1.-The attacks of the yellow press
upon me and others of the administra-
ton are simply outrages- The articles
are filled with untruths, beginning with
the one that was responsible for the
equipment of the army with Spring
field rifles, which you and every other
sensible man knows is lie. The be-
havior of some of the yellow journal
lists was so outrageous before we even
got into Cuba that l had to put my
hand on them, and after we got into
Cuba it was still worse. Their letters
are the result of personal spite If
had come back with a defeated army
there might have been some excuse
for their talk, but having commanded
one of the most successful campaigns
of modern military history, it is simply
an outrage.
Il am very fond of Evans (pension
commissioner, and am very glad you
are defending him. Some of the G. A.
r. are simply unbearable. and seem to
think if they can't have the treasury
turned open to them, that they are be-
ing defrauded."

set by the returns from the maritime
provinces, while the returns from Man

Sailors or Troops.

much exposed for three weeks in the
trenches during the rainy season. AS
matter OF act. Manila is far from being
an unhealthy city and the climate is as
fine as that of any place in the tropics

Leelanaw arrived from st. Michaels to-

The Problem In India.

The Rev. John Conklin of the Bible
Normal College, Springfield, Mass,
preached in the First Presbyterian
Church Sunday before last on "Mis-
sions in India" in which country he
spent several years of labor. He said
that the present race problems of this
country Negroes, Indians, immigrants,
Cubans, Porto Ricans and Philippine
Islanders was less than one
sixth the size of Great Britain's problem
in India. AS to the work of missions,
in this country there is one minister to
700 people, while in India it is one to
every 149. 500 people; here one in four
and half are church communicate.
there it is one in IL, 999. There are
90, 900, 900 widows in India who can
never remarry, about half of them un-
der years of age, and the inhabitants
are divided in 5000 castles, which never
eat together or intermarry. The women
live as slaves and never see their hus-
bands. The service closed with reci-
fation Of the Apostles creed in the Hin
doc language.
