TO OCCUPY HAVANA.
Part of the Army to Proceed Within
Two Weeks.

Washington, Oct 24-War depart
ment officials have begun active prepar-
atoms for the departure of the Cuban
army of occupation, a part of which is
to proceed to the island within the next
two weeks.
It is intended that the first assign
ment of troops shall move from the
United States on November 8. They will
be followed by other achievements as
fast as the transportation facilities will
permit.
Officers sent to Cuba to select desir-
able sites for the various detachmentS
have about completed their work. The
authorities, therefore, will soon be in
possession of detailed accounts of the
character of the surroundings where it
As intended to locate the new camps.
The army transports controlled by the
war department are being put in readi-
ness, and when ordered to some south
ern port for the embarkatiOn of troops
are expected to be models of trOOpships
well adapted for the comfortable move
ment of large bodies of men. There is
to be ample space for every trooper or
dered on board, and none of the IN
healthful and unsanitary conditions will
exist which marked the embarkation
of troops for Santiago in June.
The first assignment of troops will
sail for Matanzas, which is to be the
first camp of the Havana army of Oc-
cupatiOn. From this point detachments
will be distributed among the adjacent
towns.
War department officials expect that
by Christmas, or possibly earlier, sever
al regiments will be near Havana, the
extent of the command in that vicinity
depending, however, on the transpOrta-
ton facilities. At present there are I'M
der the direction of the army IA trans
ports on the Atlantic coast and almost
S many on the Pacific. but of the for
mer class a number will be required to
carry supplies and troops to Porto Rico
and bring back regiments that are to
be withdrawn.
It is proposed that during November
the availa Bile transport service will be
used in moving troops and supplies to
these points in Cuba evacuated by the
Spanish, the Havana expedition to be
postponed until they have been prOvid-
ed for.
Quarantine regulations win be strict
" enforced by the southern coast cities
with reference to all vessels which have
been in Cuban ports. and the delay that
will be caused by the detention of trans
ports between each trip in quarantine
will serve further to delay the occupa-
ton of Havana by the full fOrce select
ey for that duty.
COmmissary General Eagan Is prepar-
ing to have sufficient supplies at Sa-
vannah, where the troops will embark.
He has issued orders to his officers with
the Seventh army corps to have large
quantities of supplies with the first
movement of troops to the port of en-
barkation.

HALL GAME TALKS.
Guest of the Members of the Twelfth
Night Club.

New York, Oct. 24-Hall Game was
the one man guest at the Twelfth Night
clubs first fall reception Saturday
afternoon. He arrived with Miss Viola
Allen, the president, and was surround
ed Immediately by the members.
Mr.. Game stood on one leg, kneeIing
with the other on a piano stool and
with both hands in his pockets, told sto-
rieS to the women. His listeners ap-
peared to enjoy the anecdotes until, af-
ter giving praise to the artistic club
room and the club, he asked his hearers
if they had noticed how many things
were said against women by Shakes
peare and the Bible.
Then he quoted some Of those things,
beginning with Woman is a good idea
spoiled" Whereat the smiles faded rap
idly from the radiant eyes facing him
and little murmurS were heard around
two remarks tiny frowns began to
quicker some Of the brows, and he said
he fancied he had told to them enough
anecdotes.
So he switched off on the ever con-
venient new woman question.
THE position of woman has changed
much during the last fifty or sixty
that man and wife are one is exploded.
It may in the near future even be de-
cided by legislation that the woman is
both.
Many persons contend that the new
type of woman is not so attractive as
the other. To me she is immeasurabIy
more attractive. Her strife in the
world, competing with men, has brought
out certain characteristics not before
needed nor thought of, but none the less
charming; that little armor of manliness
for instance, which she dons, as Rosa
lind does her armOr. That character
istic, entirely pure, I have been pleased
to use in writing the character of Glory
Quayle, which your distinguished mem
Der with a low bow to Miss Allen) is
pOrtraying so faithfully"
After the applause for Miss Allen had
subsidized the speaker continued:
mo man owes a woman a grudge be-
cause she is beating him in his craft
Above all, a wOmans sex puts her at a
disadvantage, and we men remembering
our knocI1down blows must band our
selves together to protect her.
This knowledge is almost the only
cllivalry left between US"

GODLD'S BIG TAX.
Tax on His Inheritance From His
Father Fixed by Surrogate
FITZGERALD.

New York, Oct 24.-Surrogate F1tzger-
aid has signed the formal order fixing the
amount to be paid by George Gould as i
property transfer tax on the estate of his
father, Jay Gould, at 1892 7S4. The order
was the result of the decision of the court
of appeals which was handed down few
weeks ago.
The amount at which George Gould was
assessed by David Mcclure, as referee,
was $9O,7n and from this he appealed. An
appeal was also taken the part of the
state, on whose behalf it was commended
that such an assessment was grossly in
adequate. George Gould was left the sum
OF IS, O00, 900 by his father for services rem
dered by him for ten years in connection
with his business, and he claimed that the
s., 900 900 was salary at 100000 year.
The court of appeals held that this sum
was liable to taxation and modified the
original order of the surrogate, based on
the referees report.

DIG SACRED SOIL.
Cemetery superintendent Hunts For
Diamonds Around Monument

Lexington, KY. Oct. disappointment
ent c. s. Bell of the Lexington cemetery
dug for diamonds at the monument of
S. D. Mccullough, as the result OF the
publication of a story in Cincinnati yes
terday detailing how an unknown con-
Wet in the Kentucky penitentiary had
told a man arrested in Cincinnati for
burglary how he had secured $4,000
worth of diamonds by robbery and had
buried them in a graveyard near Lex
ington and by the side of a monument
on which was the inscription, AS Moses
lifted up the serpent in the wilderness
NO monument in Kentucky contains
this peculiar inscription save that of
Mccullough, and the officials, fearing
someone tempted by the prospect of Sc
curing a large number of diamonds
would injure the monument, held a
meeting and ordered Mr.. Bell to make
a careful examination around the mon
unent for the gems. He kept a force
of hands at work several hours, and
they dug the ground for a radius Of
eight feet around the monument, but
found no diamonds.
Two years ago an unknown man was
found at early morn digging near the
monument to Henry Clay, and when ac-
costed he said he had learned that the
proceeds Of a big express robbery had
been buried near Clay's monument and
he was trying to get it.

Dance Before the Pastors Own Eyes
at Jersey City.

New York, Oct. 24.-The Rev. John L.

day night.
Fifty letters of application from Rose

bright-faced girls and fine looking young

Prof. LleweIyn Williams, who has two
dancing classes in Jersey City, looked a

up the boys on one side, the girls opposite,
and with lone, two n a one two, three'

There was no programme. but the old

Charlie Mitchell was bad, but he was

PEACE JUBILEE FUND.
Total Receipts Will Amount to About
$4,000 CLEAR.

Chicago, Oct 24-It will be some
days before the members of the national
peace jubilee have balanced their ac-
counts, but the assertion is alreadyw ar
ranted that the great celebration closed
with a substantial credit account for
the relief of soldiers and sailors of the
late war and their dependent families.
When all the returns from the benefit
ball are in it is believed the receipts
from that source alone will reach be-
tween $4,000 and $25, 900. The expenses.
amounting to s., 400, were paid by the
general jubilee committee, leaving the
gross ball receipts intact. The ban

to Vice Chairman Henrotin of the COM
to the benefit fund. The total receipts
from the banquet subscribers were in
rough figures $4,000, and the total ex-
penses 81, 900.
The collections from Sundays thanks
giving services for the same fund may
reach a total of SO 900 or $4,000. The
returns from the collectors have only
begun to come in, and up to last night
$500 had been reported from about TWEEN
ty churches. the three down town meet
fngs and a few individual pledges. Col
lection reports are yet due from nearly
600 churches. The auditorium cOllec-
ton was over $500.
It is prOba BILE therefore that the total
benefit fund for soldiers and sailors as
a result of the national peace jubilee
will foot up to 49,, 900. A meeting will
be held within a few days to determine
how this sum shall be expended to the
best advantage. Most of it may be ap-
propriated through the channel of the
Army and Navy league, but a number

Sweeney, having received his instruc-
tons from the father, boarded the
steamship Anchorla yesterday morning
be had no difficulty in recognizing among
the second cabin passengers the vi
YaciOus Misses Crisp. He asked them:
''You young women are sisters, are
you not?"
The deputy's badge took the edge of
impertinence from the question, and
they answered with querulous eyes:
Yes; our names are Crisp
For whom I am looking" said the
officer. Your father has requested that
you be held here and sent back to Eng
land"
''Oh. how meant" the sisters cried to-
gether, tears filling the eyes of Jessie,
the younger.
Mr.. insolvency explained to the
young persons that their father and
mother had called last Tuesday at the
barge Office. Mr.. Crisp had said that
he expected his two daughters to ar
rive on an early ship.
Il myself" said the elder Crisp, lam

Wednesday. I intended to catch them
on the other side. but now we shall pass
each other on the ocean. A year ago

they have relatives. can do nothing
with them. They are utterly incOr-
rigible. I do not intend to have them

It was suggested that perhaps the
girls were old enough to escape paren-
tai dictation and might come with
enough money to be immune from the
pauper laws, but the father replied:
You will find they will have hardly
any money. And, what is worse" the
man continued, with a sorrOwful air,
though very young, they are very bad
girls. You don't want them in this
country. Why, when they were much
younger appealed to a society for the
prevention of juvenile vice. Nothing
came of it, however.
1.-THE younger, Jessie, is completely
under the will of the elder, Ethel, who
seems to exercise an almost hypnotic
influence over her actions"
The young women bear no marks on
their fresh faces of the imputations of
the father. They have the robust and
healthful look so common in English
girls. Their very worst features are
clear. dancing blue eyes, flashing more
mischief than guile.
They were neatly dressed in sober
garments. The elder girl wore fllet
of black ribbon around her sailor hat,
on which. in gilt letters, were the words,
~. S. S. Baltimore" She said her
brother was a sailor on the man-of-war
and had sent her the memento after the
battle of Manila.

detain the Misses Crisp pending final
action, which will probably be taken

land last night and given lodgings apart
from the riffraf from the steerage.
