UTILIZING THE TRANSPORTS.
The Government to Establish . Line of
Ships Between New York and
West Indian Ports.

WAsHINGToN, Aug. 25.-Assistan,
Secretary Meikeljohn, of the war de-
partment, is contemplating the estab-
lishment of line of transports from
New York to Havana, Santiago, Ponce
and return. 1t is expected that the
line will be ready for operation next
week. Havana will not be on the
route at present, but as soon as that
port is open the war departments
line of transports will touch there.
Operations would begin at once, but
the transports are now being used for
carrying troops. The line will be util-
lied for transporting supplies to the
quartermasters' ,commissaries' and sur
geon generals departments, as well as
such other freights as may be needed
at the points occupied by United States
forces.
Mails will be carried also on these
transports to and from the new Amer.
lean possessions. New York, instead
of Tampa, has been selected, because
of the severe quarantine at Tampa
against yellow fever.
Heretofore means of freight and
mail transportation to Cuba and Porto
Rico have been irregular and unsatis-
factory. The new transports will run
on schedule time and have scheduled
dates for departure and arrival like
any other ocean steamship line.

IMPORTANT ARRESTS.
CwO Men, Believed to Be Implicated In q
Counterfeiting Scheme, Arrested
at Texarkana.

Washington, Aug. 29.-Chief Wilkie,
of the secret service, was yesterday in
formed of the arrest at Texarkana of
two men believed to be implicated in a
counterfeiting scheme, the sequel of a
case which the secret service has been
working on since April last. At that
time Birmingham, Ala, and its vicinity
was flooded with counterfeit bills.
Two men were arrested and convicted
and sent to the penitentiary, but the
source of the counterfeits was not dis
covered.
The case was turned over to an opera
tive of the Little Rock district. About
a week ago he heard of a mysterious
box that had been shipped from Fair
Oaks, Ark, to Texarkana, addressed
to James Goblin. The secret service
official opened the box and found that
it contained So ,61O in counterfeit silver
certificates. When Goblin came to
claim the box he was arrested. His
real name is said to be James s. Nc
Quirk. Another man named James
Goblin, alias Caperton, was also ar
rested. Chief Wilkie believes the ar
rests are important.

very high appreciation which the department
has Of the services 1t has rendered since the

without saying, for they are animated by the
high professional spirit which distinguishes
the navy and which they have themselves done
much to stimulate and maintain.
But from my personal observation and
knowledge desire to add to this. that equally
marked have been the intelligence, the wise
Judgment the comprehensive forethought and
the unfailing competency to meet every EXT

May It not be said that not one error has been
made? Proper control by the department has
been exercised over all movements in the field,
and yet at the same time commanding oficers
have been duly Left to exercise discretion, and
have never been hampered in their work.

that important board, could have been better
done, or where, in the arena OF the war, you
could have rendered better service or deserved
more honor. Very truly yours,

from the main door of the secretary's
office.His presence in the building had
become known, however, and as soon
as he was seen cheers rent the air
from the clerks who had assembled to
catch glimpse of the hero of Santa
20. The officers and clerks from the
navy, state and war departments
crowded the corridors leading up to
the navy department until it was i'm
possible to pass through. They
crowded around the admiral, eagerly
reaching forward to shake his hand.
The lady clerks were even more DEM
onstrative, and the admiral was kissed
by old and young without discrimina-
ton. 1t was finally necessary to form
q line and pass the rowd around
through the large rooms of the secre-
tary's Office. in order to give them a
chance to shake hands with the ad-
miral.
Many prominent army officers took
part in the demonstration. The adj
miral finally escaped into Capt.Crown-
inshield's office.
Admiral Schley left the city later in
the day. He expects to sail for Porto
Rico next Wednesday with the mill

I'm New York.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 26.-Capt. Clark
Of the battleship Oregon was carried
through this city yesterday on his
way to New York, where he will be
placed in the naval hospital to be
treated for dysentery. Twice, when
the captain was recognized on the lit

heartily cheered by crowds which
quickly collected. In the Broad-street

ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION.
Preparation for the Fifteenth Annuanss
Louis Exposition Rapidly
Nearing Completion.

st. Louis, Aug. 27.-Preparations
are almost complete for the fifteenth
annual opening of the st. Louis ex-
position. This famous attraction will
open somewhat earlier this year than
usual-September land continue for
five weeks.
The exposition of this year win. diff,
fer from those held heretofore in. sew
eral respects. The numerous patrons
of the enterprise viii be surprised
when they visit that place this fall to
find that the great music hall is no.
longer to be used for concertpurposes.
For IA years the very best society Of
ST. Louis has been wont to congregate
in this place, and go into raptures
over strains of music discoursed to
famed Victor Herbert and John Philip
Sousa, and the thought that this Is
now thing of the past will probably
cause tinge of regret in the hearts,
of the many devotees of music.
1t must not be supposed by this,
however, that the concerts are to be
abandoned. Far from it. On the con-
trary, they will be made more delight
frl this year than ever. The scene,
however, will be shifted from the inn
posing music hall to the more impos-
ing coliseum. A special platform has
been erected in the center of the
arena, where Sousa's band will be sta
toned. The coliseum will be convert
ed into q tropical garden, where
palms and other tropical and sub
tropical foliage will be distributed
around in points Of vantage. Rustic
chairs will be placed in different
places in the garden. In this manner
it win be possible for music lovers to
sit undisturbed throughout the length
of the entire four concerts. Music
hall b used for spectacular exhibit
tions.
Considerable attention will be paid
to the art department this year. CIV.
Rhodes, the assistant director, is now
in the city making arrangements to
add to the effectiveness of the exhibit,
and Charles NJ. Kurtz, the director, is
expected in q few days. Most of the
pictures have already arrived.
Among the artists represented this
year are Meissonier, the late Anton
Muave, Mesdag, the Dutch marine
painter; Fortuny, j. M. Swan, the Fa-
nous English animal painter;
Brissot, Monet, Pissaro, Renoit, Sisley,
the last of the five impressionists;
Reid, Cooper, Childe Hassain, Palmer
and Tarbell, the American impression
lists; Thaulow, the leader and most
noted of Norwegian painters; F. Hop
kinson Smith, of Venetian water-color
fame; two paintings of the late w.
c. Picknell, character study by j. G.
Brown, and animal pictures by Dolph,
Howe. Virgins, Craig and number
of others.
In addition to this, Frederick Mac
monies, who modelled the Columbian
fountain at the Worlds fair, and the
Bacchante and child at the Boston
public library, will have four of his
best bronzes on exhibition.

MAKING THE LAW OBNOXIOUS.
Working to Enforce the Sunday Closing
Law with q Zeal Worthy of .
Better Motive.

Cleveland, O., Aug. 29.-Cleveland
had spasm of very peculiar kind of
morality yesterday. Nearly every
store was closed, most of the druggists
sold nothing but medicines on prescrip-
ton and restaurant keepers refused to
sell cigars. Yet the saloons, as usual.
with little pretense of keeping closed.
did a rushing business, through side
doors, behind screens.
The cause is the resentment of a few
merchant tailors and clothiers, whose
clerks a short time ago induced the
Retail Salesmen's union to cause the
arrest of those clothiers who kept
their stores open ON Sunday mornings,
thereby depriving their employees Of
part of their weekly day of rest.
This movement spread to the butch
ers and the grocers, and then the ag-
grieved clothing dealers, not more than
dozen in number, decided to make
the Sunday labor law obnoxious by
every body. They hired an attorney,
who caused the arrest of few cigar
dealers and newsstand keepers last
week. Then he announced yester-
day that all such places would be
watched and those who violated the
law would be arrested.
The Cigarmakers' union volunteered
to help make the law obnoxious by
sending spoilers out yesterday.
The result is that nearly all of those
whose business comes under the pro-
visions of the old law closed their
places as a matter of precaution. It is
announced, however, by the constables
engaged in the work that about 40
warrants will be issued to-day.

MORE BLOODY. FIGHTING.
A Reported Insurgent Defeat In tho Viz.

Captured and Shot.

MADRID, Aug. 25.-The government
has received a dispatch from Gen. Rios,
governor of the Vizcayas islands, and
the successor of Gen. Jaudenes in the
governor-generalship of the Philip
pines, saying that there has been bloody
fighting between the Spaniards and the
insurgent with an estimated loss to
the latter of 500 men. The Spanish
losses were "unimportant."
The dispatch says that number OF
the insurgent chiefs were captured and
shot. A sergeant of gendarmes who
attempted to incite rising against
:he authorities barely escaped lynching.
