Left His Gun at Home

MOUNT GILEAD, O., June 2O.-Sheriff
Purington and Deputy Bowen yesterday
started out to intercept two horse thieves
who had been operating in Darlington, five
miles south of here. In his haste the deputy
failed to arm himself. The two officers
separated to scour the woods near which the
roughs had last been seen. Bowen inter-
cepted the men. They covered him with
revolvers and marched him back into the
woods. This act was witnessed by far
mer, who hurried to town with the news.
A posse was formed and soon the woods
were filed with men, who overlook the
fugitives. Twelve shots were fired at close
range by the bandits. and in the exchange
of bullets one of them was wounded in the
hand. They were then captured. The
deputy sheriff whom they had captured was
threatened with death If he followed them,
but not needing their warnings, was In at
the capture.
The men gave their names as George
Dewey and Gilbert Tenney.

Men of the Fleet

WASHINGTON, June 20. = Secretary
Long received call today from DIR. Kin
gleberger, assistant surgeon Of the Olym-
pia, flagstap of Admiral Dewey's squadron,
and Gunner Evans of the cruiser Boston,
both of whom participated in the battle of
Manila. They are the first to arrive here
to give the officials personal information of
that famous engagement DR.. Kingleber-
ger is on leave, and Incidentally on his way
to take a bride from San Francisco.
Gunner Evans time expired early in April,
but knowing that the battle was impend-
ing he asked Admiral Dewey for permis-
sion to remain at his post through the en-
gagement. and this was readily granted, as
Evans is a veteran at the gun, such as
Dewey needed. The two men looked
bronzed from the exposure to the tropic
sun, and their sturdiness gives assurance
that Dewey's men were not suffering at
Manila, a fact Of which they gave Secre-
tary Long verbal assurance.

TENANT COMMANDER
The Refusal of Spanish Government to
Exchange Prisoners Determines
Mckinley to Act at Once

WASHINGTON. June 2O.-Lieutenant
Hobson, the hero of the Merrimac, will be
transferred from the construction corps to
the line of the navy and raised to the grade
Of lieut.. commander. probably this week.
This action was definitely decided on by the
administration today. 1t has been pro-
posed to await Hobson's personal express
sion as to his choice between the transfer
to the line or promotion within the corps
where future advancement is limited. The
final decision today to give substantial rec
ognition without further delay follows the
formal refusal to exchange by the Spanish
government. The matter was taken up by
both the president and Secretary Long
and 1t was announced privately that the
administration is anxious for immediate
exchange to empower the president to act.

Chasing a Murderer

PRESCOTT, Ariz., June 20.-Sheriff Ruff

Stewart ever since June 6, when he shot
DR.. McNally had an encounter with him
yesterday about twenty-five miles south of
Prescott. Ruffner fired six shots from a
Winchester rifle, Stewart fired four. All
the Sheriff's shots went wild, while one of
Stewards bullets whizzed through Ruff

evident Stewart intends to make bitter
resistance.
The fugitive has been getting food by

THE EIGHTH CORPS
TROOPS TO THE PHILIPPINES
ARE SEGREGATED
The Additional Corps Will Be Com.
manded by General Merritt-The
Promotions Of Officers

WASHINGTON. June 20.-An additional
army corps, to be known as the Eighth, is
to be created. 1t will be composed OF the
troops assigned to the Philippines and will
be in command of General Merritt.
The creation OF the new corps is by di-
rect;on of the president. and authority is
conferred upon General Merritt to transfer
the command Of the corps to the next Of
ficer In rank at such time as he may deem
it eApedient to do so, as matter of militia
ry administration, in order that he may be
left free to devote his attention to import
ant matters of the government connected
with the Philippine Islands.
There Is reason to believe that the crea-
ton OF the new corps is the following out
Of an idea suggested by General Merritt
himself. Upon his arrival at the Philip
pines, General Merritt will transfer the
active command Of the crops to Major
General Otis, now his second in command.
AS military governor OF the Philippines,
General Merritt will have so many duties
of an administrative character to perform
that 1t would be impracticable for him 20
retain the active command of the troops on
the island. He would be, OF course, the
supreme military authority in the Philip
pines. but direct command of the force
there will devolvs upon General Otis.
Promotions of the following regular army
officers will shortly be announced. the Of
ficers in each case being given commissions
in the volunteer service. and assigned to
the staff of General Merritt:
Major James II. Barry, to be lieutenant
colonel and assistant adjutant-general.
Major F. H. Crowder, to be lieutenant
colonel aud judge-advocate.

engineers, to be lieutenant-colonel and chief
engineer.

GROWTH OF EXPORTS
A STEADY INCREASE IN TRADE
WITH OTHER LANDS
Commerce of the Hawaiian Islands
Almost Entirely With This
Country

NEW YORK, June c0.-The Hawaiian
islands, their commerce. finance, produc-
tions and population form the subject Of a
series of tables which will appear In the
next number of the Summary of Finance
and Commerce, issued by the Bureau Of
Statistics, says the Washington CORES
pondent of the Tribune. From these it ap-
pears that the United States. since the re-
ciprocity treaty of 1876, has had large
share of the commerce of these Islands
Prior to 1876 the annual sales of the United
States to the Hawaiian islands had never,
save in two exceptional cases. reached
81 ,OOo, ,OOO With 1876 the 81, 10000 line was
permanen ntly passed and since that date
American exports to the islands have stead
lily grown, passing the $1,000 900 in 1879, ex-
ceeding s. 900 900 in 1888, $4,000 900 in 1890,
passing the s. 900 600 line in 1891 and promis-
ing to reach nearly SO 900 900 this year.
OF the total imports by the Hawaiian
Islands in 1876, little more than one-third
was from the United States. In 1876 the
reciprocity treaty went into operation and
in 1877 the United States supplied one-half
of the imports into the Hawaiian Islands,
which then amounted to $2,5O0.Ooo By 1880
the imports had increased to over 50, 500 900,
of which over 81 900 900 worth came from the
United States. In 1884 they were over "a 500.
600, of which more than 50, 900 900 were from
the United States; In 1890 $6, 1862 900, of which
$,711 900 came from the United States, and
in 1896 $6,O63. .oO0 Of which about $4,000, 900
came from tine United States.
OF. the exports from the Hawaiian islands
the United States has also had the lions
share since the treaty Of 1875. In 1875 only
about 81 per cent of the exports from the
Hawaiian islands came to the United States.
In 1877 the year following the treaty, over
80 per cent came to the United States and
has since that continued in about the same
proportion. OF these 5000, 900 900 worth OF
exports from the Hawaiian Islands since
the reciprocity treaty of 1875. more than
$3.50 900 900 worth have come to the United
States, and Of the 500 900 900 worth of i'm
ports into the Hawaiian Islands during that
time about $40 900 900 worth were from the
United States.
Sugar, of course, appears as the chief ar
tice of expectation from the Islands, though
rice has been for years an item of con.
siderable value, and Of late coffee, p!neap.
pies and bananas have taken important
rank In the expectations of the islands. o.

Will Visit Hong Kong

The report has been frequently circulated
around army headquarters that General
Merritt will divert the course of the vessel
in which he will journey to the Philippines,
so as to touch at Hong Kong before landing
at Manila. General Merritt will make this
movement in order TO place himself in COM
muuication with the authorities at Wash
ington before he commences operations in
the Philippines. Further instructions will
doubtless await him at Hong Kong. which
is the only cable point at which he can
touch after leaving this city.
In order not to delay the vessels of the
third feet supplies and coal are now being
placed on board. and If the carpenters can
finish the fitting up of the hunks by Thurs
day the five vessels may depart on schedule
time, but it is very doubtful If this can be
done. especially as the working force en-
ployed on the vessels is by means large.
The Fourth Fleet
Just what ships will be used for the fourth

CEEERA'S TRIBUTE TO HoBsoN

An Incidental remark made by
Admiral Cervera throws a strong
side light upon the achievement of
Hobson and his brave companions.
In his direct reference to Hobson
Cervera gives the impression that,
while the old admiral admired the
bravery of Hobson, he regarded the
plan to obstruct the entrance to the
harbor failure. The very fact that
the entire feet was able to sail out
of the harbor was in itself demon
stration that it had not been bottled
up. 1t is true that the ships were
able to get out, but they could not
come out under cover of darkness,
and that was the factor in the case
that doomed them to destruction.
The admiral explained IN the side
light remarks referred 20 that his in
tention was to come out Saturday
night, but that he had to wait until
morning because no searchlight from
the American fleet was thrc wn upon
the channel and he could not steer
clear of the wreck in the dark. If
the Merrimac had not been sunk in
his way he could have stolen out
and perhaps got away under cover of
night.
To have come out in the face of a
searchlight would have been to fall
into the hands of an expectant and
prepared foe. Such a light would
certainly be turned on the passage,
if at all, for the sole purpose of de-
tecting the first indication of an at.
tempt to escape. 1t follows that the
wreck of the Merrimac was q greater
success than it would have been had
it rendered the passage absolutely
impossible: It closed the door of
escape, rendering it necessary for the
Spanish fleet to choose between stay
ing in and being captured or going
out under conditions which meant
destruction. Hobson and his bra e
companions did not fully accomplish
their intention, but it was another
case of building better than they
knew.
