THE oBDAM ARRIVES.
Only One Death Reported During Voyage
From Santiago.

Only Ono Death Reported During Voyage
From Santiago.
New York, Oct. 1.-THE United
States transport OLDHAM, which sailed
from Ponce, Porto Rico. Sept. 2S, via
Santiago, Oct. 5, arrived at quarantine
this afternoon. The transport brought
about ESQ sick and convalescent SOL
diers and about So passengers. The OBJ
dam sailed from Santiago for this port
on Oct. 2, but when two days at sea
fire was discovered in her coal bunkers
and she was compelled to return to
Santiago, where the fire was extin-
guished. The transport sailed again on
Oct. 5. On the 9th a fire broke out
again in the coal bunkers, and. al
though every effort was made to get
it under control, the fire was still
smouldering when the Obdam reached
quarantine today. The fire proved
very stubborn and caused much un-
easiness on board more especially as
the transport has slowed in her hold
a very large quantity of ammunition
and large number of rifles.
Maj. Seaman of the engineer corps is
in charge of the troops on board. with
Surgeons Thomas and Jarrail in charge
of the sick and convalescent.
The men improved steadily during
the voyage, being provided with ex-
cellent food and medical supplies.
There was only one death during the
voyage. Private Sweeney Of the 9Th
! Illinois volunteers died OeE 6, of cere-
bral conclusion, and was buried at
sea. Surgeon Jarrall stated there had
been no cases Of small pox on board.
The OLDHAM was ordered to proceed up
the bay and anchor off Liberty Island,
whence her troops will probably be for
| warded to their destination.

oUNBoAT WILMINGTON.
Navy Yard Officials Receive Orders t,
Rush Work on Her.

Navy Yard Officials Receive Orders to
Rush Work on Her.
Boston. Oct. 11.-Imperative orders
were received at the navy yard today
which will cause a resumption of night
work for quite large force for a week
at least. The gunboat Wilmington re-
ceived sailing orders for next Tuesday
and simultaneously the yard officials
got word to rush work on her and have
her ready by that date without fail,
even if 1t was necessary to work over
time in all departments to do so The
order came as a surprise and much
speculation followed. Her sister ship,
the Helena, is under orders already to
sail for China the following Tuesday,
and the work has been pushed on her
rather than on the Wilmington, so as
to have her ali repaired and complete
ly QUILTED for a three years cruise be-
fore that date. Officers conjectured
whether or not it was the navy depart
ment's intention to substitute the Will
mington for the Helena, to go to China
Immediately.
Commander Howison and Command
er Todd of the Wilmington think, how
ever, that she is not wanted for any
such urgent duty just at present 1t is
understood she will go to Charleston,
S. c., for orders.

TO PURCHASE STOCK.

Boston, Oct. 11.-Kidder, Peabody q
Co., who are back Of the movement to
combine nine of the national banks In
this city into one institution, today sent
circular to the stockholders of the
Columbian, Revere and Howard Ma
tional banks announcing that the offeR
of Sept. 30, 1898, to purchase stock win
be withdrawn Oct 13, 1898, and that
after that date no stock will be pur-
chased from them under that offer. This
announcement is taken to mean that
the promoters of the new plan already
have secured more than the necessary
| two-t thirds vote OF the stockholders OF
these banks in favor of the proposition.
and it Is understood that similar
notices will soon follow in respect -
other banks.

BEGINNING TO ASSEMBLE
ArchbIshops Of Roman Catholic Church
Gathering for the Annual Meeting.

0dtHSTlnS IoF tne annual We9tlnR.
Washington. Oct 1.-THE archbish-
ops of the Roman Catholic church, con-
stituting at their annual meeting the
chief governing body of the church in
America, began to assemble at the
Catholic University today, preparatory
to their opening session tomorrow. AS
a preliminary to this, the board of di-
rectors Of the university, made up of
archbtshops and bishops, began their
annual meeting. The two bodies, one
governing the university and the other
the church at large, are closely allied,
and their meetings are practically
merged. There was no formality as the
distinguished prelates came together
for the board meeting. The meeting
was in the board room at McMahon hall
and was behind closed doors. Those
present were Cardinal Gibbons, presi-
dent Of the board; Archbishops Will
liams of Boston, Corrigan Of New York,
Ryan Of Philadelphia Keane, the Am
erican representative at Rome; Bish-
ops Spaulding Of Peoria Macs of Gov
ington. Foley Of Detroit, Horastmann

Of the university, and Treasurer Wag-
gaman of Washington. Archbishops

THE PROTOCOL.
Commissioners Fail TO Reach Final Con-
cluslon on ANY Point.


Paris, Oct. 12 (12 a. m.).-After a
fourth joint session, lasting from 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon to 4.15
o'clock, the American and Spanish
peace Commissions adjourned without
having reached final conclusion as to
any point In the protocol.
Thus far there has been no joint for
mutation or capitalization of views to
be returned by each commission to it's
government for embodying in the final
treaty. The question of the Philippines
has not yet been considered in Joint
session, though the Americans, at their
separate sessions, have acquired ex-
haustive information from persons who
have lived in the Philippine Islands
and done business there.
The Spanish, 1t is believed, have
asked to have the Cuban debt assumed
by the United States, urging that the
debt should pass with the sovereignty.
The debt so presented for American
assumption covers the expense Of the
10 years war, the recent insurrection
and the war with the United States,
so far as Spain's outlay in the war can
be classified against Cuba. The Ameri-
cans probably have replied that If any
part of the so-called Cuban debt is al
lowable. the part incurred in suppress
ing instructions or in the war with
the United States is not allowable.

Havana Oct. 11.-Col. Hecker and
Capts. Clay Crawford and Clark visit
ed the grounds surrounding the neigh
borhood of Guanabacoa for the purpose
Of selecting a site for camp, to be
used by the American troops So far
they have made no selection, having
found most of the grounds marshy and
liable to general malaria and miasma.
The commissioners also find that the
railroad facilities for the transportation
of troops are most meagre, and they
have recommended that work be begun
Immediately on an extension of the
road to the eastern end of the island.
They regard such step as being Of
the greatest Importance for the mobili-
zation of the army of occupation in
case of emergency. A special commits
sion of these engineers will visit sew
eral ports of the island, going as far as
Santiago All of the commissioners
agree and insist upon one point, which
was cabled to President Mckinley yes
terday, namely, the imperative neces-
sity of connecting the eastern and
western ends of the island by rail with
out any delay as military precaution.
The civil governor and mayor held
another long conference this morning

PHILIPPINE QUESTION.
The Peace Commissioners Have Not Yet
Considered the subject.

Washington. Oct. 1.-THE peace com
missioners in Paris. so far from reach
ing a point Of absolute variance on the
question Of the Philippines, have not as
yet taken up that subject for consi-
deraton.
1t is true that at the very first session
of the Joint commission the Spanish
representatives sought to raise a ques-
tion concerning the occupancy of Mani
la bay and town by the United States
military and naval forces. The United
States commissioners promptly and
unequivocally refused to consider this
point in any aspect, and with some re-
luctance the Spaniards gave over for
the time being the effort to raise that
issue Since then the commissioners,
whenever meeting jointly, have been
engaged entirely with three questions
to the complete exclusion of the Philip
pines. These questions relate entirely
to Cuba, Porto Rico and Guam, and,
according to the very last reports from
the American commissioners to Wash
ington, they are still under considera-
ton

ASSIGNED.

The Well Known Firm of Jenvey &
Allen Driven to the Wall.
It is with profound regret that we
announce the financial embarrassment
of the we'll known dry goods establish
ment of Jenvey & Allen.
Somewhat crippled in financial
way by the retirement from the firm
of Harry Knox they managed to stem
the tide and carry on large and
seemingly prosperous business. On
purchasing the interest of Mr.. Knox
about two years ago they made an ar
rangement with the wholesale firm Of
Black, Grant & Co., of GAINESVILLE, to
carry them and never to push them
without sufficient notice to arrange
matters to their satisfaction. But
notwithstanding this promise they
took snap judgment on a note for
sc, 800 and placed same in the hands of
Sheriff John S. McAllister to close in
on them. This he did late Friday
night and the store is now in the
hands of the sheriff.
Approaching the difficulty which
they were in and in justice to all their
creditors, they deemed it their duty to
make q general assignment, which
they did, and John S. McAllister was
named as assignee. Their assets are
placed at $4,000 and their liabilities
at the same figure.
Messrs. Jenvey and Allen said in an
interview that they would be able tc
pay dollar for dollar. Their assign
ment, coming as it does at time
when the dull season is oased and the
fall trade opening is certainly very un
fortunate, and their many friends re
gret that it was necessary for them tC
take such a step, and it is hoped tha
matters can be so arranged that the!
will be able to open their doors to thu
public in the near future.
Jenvey & Allen are we'll and favor
ably known, both in n personal ant
business way, and have enjoyed ;
large share of patronage in this city
They commenced their business nnde
the firm name of Knox, Jenvey & AL
len in the fall of 1893. Mr.knoX re
