THE HOTEL CHANGE.
MIR. Hutchinson In Charge of the Ferguson
House Again.

At noon to-day the proprietorsbip and
management of the Ferguson House changed
hands, Mr.. T. II. Hutchinson succeeding
Harry Wiedensaul. Mr.. Hutchinsuns family
have arrived from Sunbury, but it will take
few days to get his household effects here.
Mr.. Wiedensaul will remain here for a few
days to arrange his affairs, and will then 90
to Mt. Carmel. He has not decided upon
any business undertaking for the future.
Mr.. and Mrs. Woodside, his wife's parents,
left for Mt. Carmel to-day.
Mr.. Hutchinson needs no introduction to
the people of this town, who will remember
that he conducted the same hotel before Mr..
Wiedensaul took it and retired to hand
some home he built at Sunbury for the pur-
pose of giving up active business pursuits
and living quietly. But to be out of active
life to Mr.. Hutchinson is like a fish living out
of water. The hotel will prosper under his
control. He is thoroughly acquainted with
and adapted for the business Enoch Lockett,
who was clerk of the hotel under Mr. Hutch
insOns former management, will be rein
stated to the position, and Dewitt Steedle,
the dapper little fellow who presided at the
desk during Mr.. Wiedensaul's regime, will
be retained. In fact the entire old force OF
employees will be retained, for the present at
least.

LONDON'S STARTLING SENSATION
Report That British Admiral Fired on
n Rms-lnn Mnrshln.

iSuS~lbu w AfSnlp.
London, Jan. 3.--A sensation has been
caused by a rumor from Plymouth
that the English admiral has fired on
q Russian man-of-war in Chinese
waters. Nothing is known as to the
matter at the foreign office or the
admiralty.
The morning papers publish also the
statement that England is pressing
China to declare Port Arthur a free
port. 1t is supposed that the presence
of British warships there is intended to
insure freedom of access for trading
vessels.
The Daily Graphic claims to have
authority for the assertion that no
agreement exists between Russia and
Germany with regard to China; that
Germany occupied Kiao-Chau without
Russa's cognizance, and that~ the oc-
cupation annoyed the advisers of the
cZar.

KAIER's OPERA HOUSE.


The greatest comedy event of the season.
Lillian Kennedy in THE Deacous Daugh-

this evening. The announcement that the
pretty and well known soubrette. Miss Lii
liam Kennedy, so well known in the larger
cities, will appear for one night in the
greatest comedy ever written, will be greeted
with delight by our many theatre-goers.
This bright and roaring farce comedy has
made tremendous hit in all the large cities
and will be produced with the same strong
company Of artists, will certainly be a great
treat to our people who enjoy the pleasures
of pretty opera house and good play, and
we trust that they will take advantage of
this fact and give this very strong attraction
that is endorsed by the Clergy and press, a
rousing reception as it certainly deserves.
WANG.

than ever this season. The scenery is ele-
CANT and entirely new, the music which is
catchy, has been frightened, tho local hits
are irresistible, the pretty girls in gorgeous
costumes fill the stage, and Wang" is indie
scribably funny. The management of the
theatre has looked upon Wang" as the event
of the season, and judging from the crowd
that will be present the public has the same
opinion.

Michigan Naval Reserves ON the Yosemite
Michigans Naval Reserves-or 225 of
them-were called to Norfolk, Va, To
man the auxiliary cruiser Yosemite
which will join the flying squadron in
Hampton Roads instead of being given
coast patrol duty as at first intended.
The Yosemite has been well armored,
has 10 siX-inch guns and will probably
do good service if given an opportunity.
The Michigan Reserves are enthusiastic
will make their patriotism felt If they
get chance at the Spaniards. They
enlisted as ordinary seamen, dropping
their organization and even without
assurances that they would retain their
officers. There were about Is members
of the Reserves left at home by the
first call, but they will await the sec
ond call for volunteers.
The 225 Michigan Naval Reserves
who went To the front at the first call
reached Norfolk, Va, after a pleasant
and rapid journey and were immedi-
ately quartered on board the training
ship Franklin until the auxiliary
cruiser Yosemite should be ready for
duty. 1t is understood that as soon as
the Yosemite is armed and manned she
will join Commodore Schley's flying
squadron.
A second call for the Michigan Naval
Reserves was for an additional compile

Planning to Invade Cuba.

First Lieut.. Andrew =. Rowan, of the
Nineteenth infantry, under orders from
the war department, was landed on the
Cuban coast somewhere west OF San.
tiago, on his way to the camp of Gen.
Calixto Garcia. He will represent the
war department in arranging for the
cooperation of the insurgents in the
invasion of eastern Cuba by the forces
of the United States. The time and
place Of invasion will be controlled by
events and the character of Rowan S
Calixto Garcia will dispose his forces
to cover a landing of United States
troops as prearranged. Rowan speaks
Spanish and knows Cuba, and is an eX-
pert map maker.
Lieut.. J. G.. Fremont, commanding
the torpedo boat Porter, landed on Gu
ban soil and delivered to the Cuban in
surgents important plans for their ac-
ton in cooperating with the I. S in the
reduction of Havana. The sole purpose
of Lieut.. Fremont's expedition was to
communicate with Gen. Gomez regard
ing the part the insurgents should play
i'm the plan of campaign.
The strategic boards Of the U. S.
army and navy are being urged TO sup
plement the pacific blockade by the
taking of one port on the north coast
of Cuba and one on the south coast,
for the purpose of establishing juno
ture with Gen. Gomez's insurgent
troops at Sancti Spiritus and with Gen.
Garcia's insurgent forces in Santiago
de Cuba. 1t is said that Gomez and
Garcia have the men and the enthus-
iasm capable of striking an effective
blow once they have arms i'm hand, and
that the only reason for their present
inaction is their failure TO have ade-
quate ammunition for strong forward
movement on the Spanish forces. Re.
cent conferences between the Cuban
military officials at Washington and
Gen. Miles leaves little doubt that the
war department will equip the Cuban
forces.

SPANISH FLEET SAILED!

Left Cape Verde Islands Bound for Cuba
Flying Squadron will Meet Them.
st. Vincent, Cape Verde Islands: The
Spanish fleet sailed in southwesterly
direction. The destination is unknown.
Orders to be given at sea. The official
announcement says that the Spanish
fleet was composed of the first-class
armored cruisers Cristobal Colon, In
fanta Maria Teresa, Almira tc Oquendo
and Vizcaya, the torpedo boat destroy
crs Furor, Terror and Plutont and the
transport City of Cadiz. II was added
that the torpedo boats Ariete, Rayo
and Azor, would return to Cadiz.
Washington: The navy department
has received information that the
Spanish squadron has left the Cape
Verde islands. Its destination is. un-
known. but it is presumed to be bound
for Cuban or American waters. II is
reported that Commander Schley, of
the flving squadron at Hampton Roads,
has received orders to sail to meet the

TO STOP SPANISH FLEET.
Probability of Big Naval Battle Near
Porto Rico.

Later dispatches have been received
which confirm the report that the
Spanish fleet is on its way across the
Atlantic, probably heading for Porto
Rico. If Commodore Schley's squadron
sails TO meet them it will be in the
capacity of scouts TO detect the APP
proach of the Spanish vessels. 1t is
understood that Admiral SIMPSONS
fleet will be formed into two divisions,
leaving slow vessels before Havana
and swiftest going with the flying
squadron. Admiral Sampson will COM
mand the first and Commodore John c.
Watson the second. The six armor-
clads, New York, Iowa, Indiana. Puri-
tan, Terror and Amphitrite, will be in
central station on the Atlantic coast,
and will sail to meet the Spanish fleet.
The blockade would be conducted by
the remaining vessels, under Watson,
who has been ordered to confer with
Sampson. The movement of the
armored ships northward will necessi-
tate the reinforcement of the blockad-
ing squadron with such auxiliary cruis-
ers and gunboats as can be spared. AS
there Will be a lot of heavy vessels
close at hand, these members of the
mosquito feet can we'll be spared from
patrol duty. With one battleship, a
couple of monitors and the auxiliary
cruisers the blockade of Cuba can be
maintained. The ships thus relieved
will then join the flying squadron and
increase its efficiency.
If it is evident that the Spanish fleet
is coming in force to Porto Rico the
flying squadron will reinforce Rear
Admiral Simpsons fleet. and battle
will be given the enemy in Cuban wa
tiers without raising the blockade. If
the Spaniards cross the Atlantic on
more northerly parallel, Rear Admiral
Simpsons big ships will hurry north
ward and join the flying squadron to
meet them. If the enemy divides his
fleet into two squadrons. we will do
likewise. or if time offers meet his
squadrons in detail, When the fleets
are divided a commander will be Sc
lected for each of them. with Rear Adj
miral Sampson in supreme command.
