THE LADIES CAPTURE DENVER
A THOUSAND CLUB WOMEN AR
RIVED YESTERDAY.
Bees Are Buzzing In Their Bonnets
and There Will Be a Contest Over
the Presidency.

Denver, June 20.-The American club
woman simply besieged the city. Ev-
cry incoming train has brought large
delegations from the four corners of
the country, until tonight the num-
Der of visitors numbers at least 1000.
These special trains made the trip
without mishap and each party re-
ports a delightful time en- route.
One of the largest delegations came
in this afternoon from Chicago with
300 club women in charge of Mrs.
Clara NJ. j. Farson. This train was in
charge of prospective bridegroom,
Mr.. H. G. Cowlin of the Burlington
line, and in appreciation of his cour-
tesies the ladies made UP purse which
will be presented at the wedding next
week in Chicago, the bride being Miss
Laura Shoeberger of the same city.
The western delegations are begin
ming to come in and by tomorrow night
it is estimated the number of delegates
will be doubled.
The visitors were met at the station
by the reception committee and were
escorted TO places of entertainment.
The main headquarters, the Brown
Palace hotel and the Metropole are
thronged with enthusiastic women,
from whose up-to-date coats f1utter
the badge, of their particular state.
No sooner had the club women set
tied in their quarters than the bees in
their bonnets began to buzz. The wire
pulling centers in the presidency and
notwithstanding Mrs. Alice Ives Breed,
of Boston is the logical candidate, and
has q strong following, there is much
favorable talk for Mrs. Sarah S. Platt
of Denver. The Pennsylvania crowd
has started an embryo boom for Mrs.
dvra rf1 on M Phila6alnhia
and still another coterie believe there
will be a dark horse. One of the i'm
portant issues has also been sprung
on the side and that is the increase of
dues to meet the expenses of the
federation. 1t is evident there will be
animated opposition to the innova-
ton, one large club from middle
state having been instructed to with
draw from the federation in case this
is done
The city likely to get the next con-
vention is question coming to the
front Invitations have already come
from New York and Boston, and many
leaders believe it will go to the latter.
Tomorrow will be devoted to pre-
liminary plans and on Wednesday the
first official gun will be fired by Mrs.
Ellen Henrotin of Chicago, president
of the general federation, who has
eStdDiiSneu neduqudIt erS at the MeIro-
pole.
MOAB CLUB ADMITTED.
The first meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the general federation was held
tonight. Fifteen clubs were admitted to
the federation, including the Busy Won-
ans club of Moab Utah.
1t was announced that Miss Tswada of
Toxic, Japan. would arrive Thursday as
representative of the Educational asso-
citation of Japan.--H was voted to make
Countess Okuma of Toxic. president of
that club, an honorary member of the
federation.

A WEARY WAIT At SANTIAGO
Continued from Page u

Yesterday a shell from the battleship
Oregon destroyed a railway car and
set a warehouse on fire. A spy asserts
that the Spanish gunboat Sandoyal has
been filed with straw and will be de-
Stroyed if there is any danger of her
being captured.
The Spanish forces at Guantanamo
are vainly attempting to reach Santi-
ago, where nothing is known as to the
situation at Guantanamo, as the Gu
bans hold the intervening territory.
General Garcia's forces are within
three days march of Santiago They
number 5000. The same number of
Cubans are near Holguin. General
RabiyiS Is miles west of Santiago, with
$50 men, all well armed.
The battery at Castillo de la Socapa,
opposite Estrella, Santiago, has two
Hontoria guns, four Maxim Norden
feldt 37-milimetre guns, one Maxim
Nordenfeldt 97-milimetre gun and one
Calling 25-milimetre gun, all taken
from the Reina Mercedes. The battery
at Castillo del Moro has two Maxim
Nordenfeldt 75-milimetre guns, taken
from the torpedo boat destroyer Ter
ror, brought by Admiral Cervera. The
Punta Gorda battery has two Ordonez
bronze guns and one Hontoria. All the
batteries have also muzzle-loaders.
The mines at the entrance are on the
Latimenclar sysJem-two lines of seven
each. One line was fired at the Mer-
rinlac, but without effect. The Merri-
mac cleared the line when she exploded.
One torpedo in the first line was also
fired at the Merrimac without striking
her. The mines contain 225 kilograms
OF gun cotton, and there are several
Bustamente tOrpedoes.
The best information is that the hull
of the Merrimac does not block the
channel, but lies to the right. Vessels
can pass without touching it.
During the bombardment on June 8
Captain Hermon, second in command
on the cruiser Reina Mercedes, and
five men were killed by a shell. Six
were wounded.
Lieutenant Hobson and his men are
now believed to have been taken up
TO Santiago.

INTENTIONS OF INSURGENTS.
Want An American Colony or An In
dependent Republic.

dependent Republic.
London, June 21-The Hongkong
correspondent of the Times, telegraph
ing Monday, says: The impression is
gaining ground here that encouraged
by their successes, the insurgents in
the Philippines will become intolerant
of American control. Aquinaldo's
forces, however, are faithfully keeping
the pledges to Admiral Dewey and his
Philippine policy, which, I am credibly
Informed, is favorably received in
Washington, being independent in all
international affairs under American
protection until the country is power
full enough to shape its own destinies.
The Filipons are apprehensive lest
German intrigues may interfere with
the control of the islands.
Should Captain General August re-
sist Admiral Dewey it is expected to
now.
The Hongkong correspondent of the
Daily Mail says: United States Con-
sui Wildman has received no intima-
ton from his government with regard
to the future of the Philippines. Gen
eral Aquinaldo desires that the islands
become an American colony. He de-
clares that if he cannot be con-
nected with the United States
he will insist upon republic being
formed. If any other country than the
United States wishes to secure control
of the Philippines, that country will
have TO fight for it.
The insurgents under Aquinaldo now
have $500 rifles and eight field pieces
The Hongkong correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph says: According to
the report of the United States trans
port Zafiro. which has just arrived
here from Manila, a daStardly attempt
was made last week to poison General
Aquinaldo. He was taken suddenly
and violently i'll after partaking of a
meal and the symptoms were such as
clearly indicated that poison had been
mixed with his food. He was i'll for

RANSOM SUGGESTED.
Spaniards Might Release Hobson For
a Money Consideration.

Kingston, Jamaica, June 20.-Mr. F.
w. Ransden, the British consul at
Santiago, now acting for the United
States in the negotiations with the
Spaniards for the exchange OF Lieuten-
ant Hobson and his comrades of the
Merrimac expedition. has suggested to
the officials at Washington that even
a ransom might be paid to secure the
prompt release of the American prison
ers. That idea was undoubtedly ex-
pressed in the cable dispatches which
passed through the colonial authorities
here, but in what form it was shaped
is not clear.

fusal TO exchange Lieutepant Hobson and
his companions of the Merrimac is easily
explained and justified. Without any in

wards Porto Rico.

Port Antonio, Jamaica, June 20.-Cap-
tain Hopkins, of the Boston Fruit COM
pany'S steamer Brookiine, which ar
rived at Port Moran this morning, re-
ports that he sighted transports con-
yoyed by United States warshiDs so
miles south of Crooked Island passage
yesterday morning. He was due north
of Cape Maysi.
Captain Hopkins reports also that he
was chased by the United States gun

The transports. he says, were headed
southeast, and, in his judgment, for
Porto Rico. He argues that if they
were bourd around Cape Maysi for
Santiago. they were far off their course.
1t is believed here that Captain Hop
