terday says: Congressman-elect B. H. Rob-
erts was today shown Salt Lake dispatch
sent to an eastern paper claiming to be
an interview with him on church matters
Mr.. Roberts said he had not given the
reporter of the paper anything of the kind
for publication. He said he was called
upon for a statement, and told the reporter
that he had nothing to say on the subject
In conversation with the reporter Mr.
Roberts said he called attention to the dis
tinction between polygamy and unlawful
cohabitation. and said there had been no
polygamous marriages since 1890.
Further than the substance of this he
says. he said nothing that is contained in
the alleged interview.
The interview referred to is as follows:
IF a time comes when 1t is necessary for
me to defend myself. shall be there, right
on the spot, and I appreciate that the
members of Congress and the American
people are more liberal broad-minded and
generous than a few bigoted and contracted
preachers of the Presbyterian Church

OBTAINING MONEY ORDERS.
Clerk at Stamp Window to Issue
Them After Regular ONCE Closes.


The Postmaster General yesterday after
noon issued the following announcement of
a plan for extending the hours for obtain
ing money orders in the large cities
throughout the country:
1t is now the practice at the larger post
offices to close the money order business
about o'clock in the evening The de-
partr ent realizes that many persons, par
tlcularly those whose time is fully occupied
during the day, are thus prevented from
obtaining money orders. and 1t has sought
Tor some time past to remedy this inconve-
nlence. A plan recently adopted at ST.
Louis has proven so successful that 1t will
be generally introduced by Assistant POST
master General Heath, who has suggested
that inasmuch as a clerk is on duty at the
stamp window of the larger offices during
all or a part of every night, he may issue
oney orders when application Is made
therefor. At present no arrangement is
provided for the payment of orders, but If
this measure meets with the approval of
the public. doubtless a complete system of
issue and payment will be provided for in
the near future"

break tomorrow Saturday Spain
will have lost two thousand of her
best soldiers, killed, wounded and
taken prisoners, in and around
the town, which was practically in
the hands of the American forces
at 5 o'clock tonight. This result
was not obtained, however, without
severe fighting on the part of the
American forces, and although it
is impossible at this time to give
a list of the dead or wounded,
it is safe to say that the loss in
General Lawton's division alone
will be $50 killed or wounded.

Gen. Wheeler, who made a
reconnaissance for half a mile
beyond the skirmish lines near
Santiago Tuesday, finding that he
was unable to secure the desired
view through the luxuriant
tropical foliage, dismounted and
climbed tree. A Major General
in the forks of a tree, surveying
the Spanish outposts through his
field glasses, was a spectacle that
gave some idea of the wonderful
energy of the dashing ex-Con-
federate cavalry leader. This
feat of agility in a man si1ty-two
years of age put to blush many a
