on Sunday was the understanding that
the commissioners must meet within
30 days after signing the protocol
which, on last Monday, was 81
days Two free soup kitchens in
this city were closed yesterday

These kitchens have been distributing
to the really needy over 10000 rations
daily. Their discontinuance based,
according to the governors circular,
on the assumption that distress and
want have disappeared from the city,
will have the effect OF throwing thou
sands of unfortunate people on public
charity. Beggars are again infest-
ing the streets and carrying filth
and disease germs all over Havana
Immediate arrangements for the
distribution of the Comal rations, now
that the Spanish government refuses
to continue to feed the hungry is, inn
perative. The ''meat ring" continues
keeping the price of meat at from 81

protests and offers made by large and
responsible firms TO the government
offering to import cattle and place
meat on the market at % cents per
pound.
Hundreds Of Spanish officers have
asked to be discharged from the army.
They refuse to return to Spain, where

tary Long, the result of which was the
issue Of an order relieving him of the
command of the battleship Iowa,
which is now being repaired at the
New Yorkmavy yard. This was done
at Capt. Evans personal request He
has served more than the period of
time required by regulations and
practice for captain to command.
Secretary Long decided to assign Capt.
Evans to duty as q member OF the
naval inspection board and he will as
sumo his new duties after a brief va
cation.
The next commander of the lowe
will be Capt. Silas Terry, now in com
mand of the receiving ship Franklin,
at the Norfolk navy yard. He will
take the ship around South America
and over to Honolulu in company with
the Oregon and some GOLFERS 1t is
said at the navy department that the
sailing orders to the battleships have
not yet been issued, and that when
they are they will take the ships only
as far as Honolulu. 1t is not denied
that they will ultimately proceed to
join Dewey's feet at Manila if it should
be deemed expedent to reinforce him,
But as the journey around South
America will occupy nearly four
months and many changes in the
situation as to the Philippines may be
expected to occur before the expra-
ton of that period of time, it cannot
be certainly foretold whether or not
the Oregon and the Iowa will reach
Manila.

Third and the Fifth regiments, 2,4Od
uniformed soldiers paraded the streets
of this city yesterday afternoon. Along
the whole ten-mile line Of march the
streets were banked with humanity.
and the reception given to Kansas
City's own soldiers was all that any
one could have wished. The men OF
the Third carried their guns, canteena
and tin cups. The men of the Fifth car
ried in addition to these their ponchos,
orrubber coats. The good appearance
and soldierly bearing Of the men
of both regiments was spoken OF
by every one. They tramped like
veterans of war Of years, instead OF
a campaign of camp life and practice
marches. They were sunburned, stall.
wart athletic looking men. The
throngs were proud OF them and no
one doubted that these 2,4OO men with
such earnest faces and business like
bearing would have won glory for
themselves and their city If they had
ever been given chance to go into
battle.

Emperor of China Has Authorized Estab-

Washington, Sept. l6 -Minister
Conger informs the department of
state that the emperor of China by inn
perial degree has sanctioned the open
ing of national university at Pelkin
in connection with schools which are
to be established in the provincial cap
itals. Another dispatch from Minister
Conger would indicate that the en-
peror OF China has taken long strides
in advance in civilization by en-
couraging the newspapers of
his empire to publish truthful and
full account of daily events, and to be
bold and fearless in the discussion of
current affairs. He has by public
proclamation declared that articles
which appear in Chinese newspapers,
though apparently displeasing to him,
shall not on that account be sup
pressed, An edict has been pub
lished extending the postal oper-
ations throughout the empire and
replacing the present system of
government couriers, The frequent
edicts introducing reforms and cutting
down expenditures prove that the em-
peror's advisers are bent upon policy
which can only be the result of COM
plete chan BE of opinion. 1t is evident
the emperor has decided to abolish
many abuses, and his efforts are well
coined by all the enlightened Chinese.
