New York, Oct. 13.-The Press says:
1t is said on authority of an officer of
the Northern Pacific railroad that the
fight between the j. P. Morgan and the
]. j. Hill factions has been settled, as
far as the payment of a dividend on
the common stock of that railroad is
concerned. 1t was agreed yesterday
that a dividend will be paid on the
common stock. The president of the
company will recommend it, and a ma
jority of the directors yesterday agreed
to consider the recommendation. The
directors meet in November, when the
subject will be considered formally
The controversy between the fac
tions as to the status of the Oregon
Short Line on through business as af-
fecting the Northern yacfic and the
Great Northern, remains unsettled, and
it is on this point that several bitter
letters have passed between the two

ORDNANCE BOARDS VIEW.
Gives An Expert Opinion On Merits
of Arms In Use.

Washington, Oct. 13.-The board of
ordnance officers, known as the Mon
tauk board, has made its report to
General Flagler, chief of ordnance. This
board was created after the surrender
of Santiago, and consisted of Major
StanhOpe E. Blunt, Major Daniel M.
Taylor, Captain Beverly w. Dunn and
Lieutenant George Montgomery. The
purpose of the board was to secure in
formation direct from officers who had
command of troops in action as to the
respective merits of the various arms
used, and while the matter was fresh
in their minds, to obtain any sugges-
tons they might have to make regard
ing improvements and changes that
would make the arms more effective.
The report shows that the S.2-inch
field guns are satisfactory in every
way. The board also reports favor
ably upon the Krag-Jorgensen arm for
the infantry and cavalry. No fault is
found with the Springfield rifle, except
that smokeless powder would be much
better. Smokeless powder is also
found very desirable for the field guns.

WILL DISARM CUBAN SOLDIERS
MASSO IN ACCORD WITH AMERI.
CAN AUTHORITIES.
President of the Cuban Republic to
Be Elected On the 2Oth-Color
Line Drawn at Santiago.

Santiago de Cuba, Oct 1S.-Senor
Bartolome Masso, accompanied by two
members of his staff, arrived this MORN
ing from Santa Cruz del Sur, in Puerto
Principe, about rs miles from Manzan-
lilo, where the CubanS now have their
headquarters, and where, on Oct. 20,
the Cuban assembly will meet to elect
new president, and to decide as to
the plans for disbanding the army, il
disarmament is considered advisable,
and as to other important matters. He
called at once on Colonel Ray, who re-
ceived him courteously, expressed
pleasure at the opportunity of an in
teryiew, and said he hoped Senior
MaSso would arrange for disbanding
the Cubans under General Rios in the
neighbOrhood of Manzanillo, so that
work in the fields could begin. He also
earnestly advised the president of the
Cuban provisional government to dis
band the Cuban troops at all points
now in possession of the United States
forces, in order that the men might
give the assistance so greatly needed to
place the country in a position to re-
cover from the evils of the three years
war.
Senior Masso readily agreed to carry
out Colonel Rays request, and said that
INlOS WOuiu receive orders I'M
mediately to disband his men, ThCr-
oughly in accord with Colonel Rays
proposal to get the Cuban soldiers to
work throughout the province of San
tiago, he promised to do all in his
power to bring about this result, be-
lieving, he said, that the sooner the
country was prosperous and happy, the
sooner Cuba libre would be an accom-
plished fact, and believing also that the
best policy for the Cubans now was to
cooperate heartily with the Americans
in their plans for building up the
country.

majority Of the officers of the immune
regiments from the southern states OBJ
ject to eating at the same restaurants
with cOlOred officers, the most of whom
are from the northern states. Some of
the colored men, apparently DESTROYS of
bringing the matter to an issue, form
ally reported that they could not get
served at the principal Spanish res
taurantS under existing Spanish law.
whereas the American law compelled a
proprietor of any house of public en-
tertainment to serve all who pay. The
restaurant proprietor complained that
when he served the colored officers he
would lose almost his enter patronage,
as the majority of his customers were
southerners. General Wood has ap
pealed to the common sense of the
officers and advises that the restaurant
be turned into a club.

More Trouble at Lexington.

Cincinnati, o., Oct. ia Lexington
(Ky.) special to the Times-Star says
the trial of Private Kitchen, who killed
Private Edward Nygran, Twelfth New
York volunteers, on Sunday, was post
poned until Saturday, because a new
outrage had stirred up such a feeling
that violence was feared.
Sergeant 4. McClelland of the Third
Kentucky regiment was caught after
midnight by a party of Twelfth New
York soldiers and so mistreated that he
may be injured for life. This aroused
bitter indignation against the New
York regiment on the part of the Ken
tuclians, and it was deemed unwise to
risk an outbreak by proceeding with
the trial of Kitchen.

OUR GREAT PROSPERITY.

Mr.. McKinley's speech at this point
was one of the best of the day, and
here for the first time Secretary Bliss
made a few remarks. Secretary Gage,
also spoke briefly In the course of his
speech President Mckinley said: II
do not know a period of our history
when the country enjoyed more real
substantial prosperity than it does
today. The job hunts the man now,
not the man the job, and where that
condition exists, labor is always bet
Ter rewarded. In every one of the
great industries of the country we are
feeling a degree of prosperity which
gives new hope to all our people Not
only are the people reasonably pros
eprous, but the government in which
you are all interested is alike prosper
Gus. We have had no bad luck lately.

dition was never better than it is now.
Our national credit was never so high
as il is now, and the people of the
United States were well enough off
when the government wanted 5000. OOO.-

subscribe for $40 100000, and for a
bond at a lower rate of interest than
was ever floated by the government of
the United States before and our

We have got along fairly well this far.

CERVERA AT ANNAPOLIS
Captive Spanish Officers Comfort
RbIN PrONiNed For.

Annapolis, Md, July 16.-Admiral Ger
vera and about forty Spanish officers
were brought to this city to-day, and are
now prisoners of war within the historic
precincts of the United States Naval AGA
DENY
The auxiliary cruiser st. Louis brought
the foreign visitors up Chesapeake Bay
this afternoon. Her black hull was sight
ed by the tugs off Annapolis at 3 o'clock
and Immediately a fleet of small craft,
that had been waiting outside the city
since early morning, put on all steam
and half an hour later was surrounding
the great cruiser in the hope of seeing
the Spaniards.
Soon after she came to an anchor the
st. Louis flew signals for the government
tug standish, which had been tied to the
wharf at Annapolis with fires up, since
o'clock this morning The tug at once
put TO sea. About 4 clock she tied up to
the starboard side of the St. Louis and for
nearly an hour there was a transfer of
baggage and bundles between the two yes
sells. Then three wounded Spanish officers
were slung down to the Standish in litters
Admiral Cervera took courteous leave of
the officers of the St Louis and marched
down the gangWay of the ship with a
stately tread. He wore a black derby hat
and the dark clothes of a civilian. On his
left arm he carried a brown overcoat
Immediately following him were the re-
cent governor of Santiago, also an old
man in civilian clothes, Capt. Eulate late
of the Vizcaya and the rest of the Spanish
officers.
A few were dressed in the Spanish uni
form, but most of them were rugged out
wholly or in part In duck uniforms that
had been furnished by the American Of
ficers.
Chairs had been provided in the rear of
the tug for the accommodation Of the pris-
oncrs, and here they sat while the tug
steamed up to the quaint old city of An
napolis.
AZ the wharf Commander Edwin White,
with a detachment of United States ma
rines, was awaiting their coming.
He received the admiral in person and
escorted him Immediately to the superin-
tendents carriage.
Commander White, Admiral Cervera and
his son then drove to the residence of Ad-
miral McNair, the superintendent of the
naval academy.
A brief formal call was made there at
which courtesies were exchanged, and Ad-
miral McNair explained to the visitors
the arrangements that had been made for
their comfort.
Admiral Cervera was then escorted to
his quarters, a plain brick structure of
three stories IN what is known as Buch-
anan Row. The house has been well fur
nished and is in all particulars the same
as the houses occupied by naval officers
on duty at the academy.
Soon after their arrival, which was at
$50 dinner was served for the admiral
and his staff in their own quarters.
The other officers signed the parole and
