the United States SERVICE" says cor
respondent in the Wichita Eagle, sis
that from Oklahoma, now stationed at
Fort Reno, o. t., where it was mobil-
| lied, and has been in constant ira ming
since the middle Of July. The battal-
ion comprises five companies, four of
which are from Oklahoma and one
from the Indian Territory. The un-
usual progress made by these troops
in the acquiring of the technical
knowledge of soldiers surpasses all
previous experience, and reflects un-
bounded credit upon the able officers
in command of the battalion and it's
components parts.
Major John f. Stone has been un-
firing in his efforts to secure for his
command the credit of being the best
drilled troops in the volunteer service,
and all accord to him the credit of
success in the attainment of this very
laudable am bition. He has been
greatly aided and the details of the
drill have perhaps acquired their pre-
sent perfect execution through the ex-
perience and the indefatiguable efforts
Of the captains and the lieutenants of
the various companies; some of whom
were already advanced well toward
perfection by previous study and
raining. These in the order Of their
rank axe: Captain II. c. Barnes; Cap
tain Roy Hoffman; Captain Robert A.
Lowery; Captain F. y. Boynton and
Captain Earle Edmundson. The FIRST
| lieutenants are: j. p. Neal, j. j.
O'Rourke, II. A. Platt, j. NJ. Wheeler
and II. X. Cravens. The second lieu
tenants are: d. b. ARIEL, G. l.. FIN

and C. A. Thompson. The command
consists of over SEQ enlisted men, and
attached thereto at the present time
the following staff officers: Rev. Job
Ingram, chaplain; w. p. Baker, major
and surgeon; Ira l.. Morrison, adju-
tant. The battalion has now com
pleted the entire drill in both close
and extended order, has engaged in u
number of sham battles and attacks
on imaginary foes, and exterminated
large numbers of imaginary Spaniards.

Norman Negro Haters to be Punished.
A few weeks ago j. j. Wallace of
Oklahoma City was assaulted and bad
ly beaten in Norman while attempting
to protect a colored man in his employ
who had been ordered out of town by
mob. The assault was denounced
and condemned on every hand. How
ever the matter died down, and it is
probable that all who took part in the
assault thought that no more would
be said or done in the matter, hut
Judge Burwell in his instructions to
the grand jury threw bomb shell
into the camp of the negro haters
which is causing them considera BILE

having the affair thoroughly investi.
gated. In his instructions to th.
grand jury he said:
"It has come to the knowledge OF
the court, by newspaper publications
and other sources, that a short time
ago colored man was assaulted IN
the town of Norman, by number of
persons, ana that such persons with
out any cause, beat and bruised him

leave town; and that such persons
threatened TO kill him If ne returned;
and that Mr. Wallace who had said
colored man employed, demonstrated
with such persons. against their as
saults upon him, whereupon said per-
sons assalted Mr.. Wallace and inflicted
serious bodily injury upon him also.
In this connection the court in
structs you that colored man, in
law, has just as much right to live in
the town of Norman as white person,
and it is the duty of the prosecuting
officers of this county and the court to
see that the rights of all citizens are
safely guarded and that they are given
proper protection. You will honestly
inquire into this matter and if suf-
fcient evidence can be obtained indlct

pated in or aided, counseled or abetted
in the assault upon this colored man
or in the assault upon Mr.. Wallace" "

Finds the Body of a "rloater. s.

Ponca City Courier; j. o. Clifford
came in from his farm, eight miles
east, Monday, to notify the coroner
that the body of man had been found
on his place. One of Mr. Clifford's
neighbors had been picking up drift
wood along the river, when he saw
what ne supposed was an old coat, but
when he tried to pick it up he could
not, and upon investigation, found
that 1t contained what was left of IL
human body. The ueiyhbor at once
notified Mr.. Clifford who came to
town and notified the coroner Mr..
Clifford said the body was partly bur
led in the sand but from what he
could tell was white man. He must
have been there some time as he had IA
brown overcoat on. The wolves had
devoured most of the body that was
above the sand. 1t is supposed that
the body must have fioated down aud
been left there by the high water of
last spring. The coroner informs MS
that both the lower litnbs had been
cut off just above the ankles.

May Disfranchise Negroes

Washington, Nov. 10.-Senator
Butler (pop.) will give place to a
democrat as result of the overturn
in North Carolina. The legislature
is controlled by the democrats, and
Butler will be retired. Josephus
Daniels, the Democratic National
Committeeman from North Carolina
is prominently mentioned for the
place.
The legislature having gone heavily
democratic, it is not unlikely that
Governor Russell will be impeached.
This, it is thought, will certainly be
done if the requisite two thirds
democratic majority be returned.
Meantime a constitutional amend
ment DISTINGUISHING negroes will, it
is believed, be submitted to the
people of North Carolina.

In New York.
st. Louis Republic.

81. Louis Republic.
From plurality of 1882 for
governor the New York republicans
have been diminished to plurality
Of about 10000. This shrinkage is
remarkable. It has taken place in
two years.
Making all due allowances for the
diminution of the total vote conse'
Quent on an off year, this overcom
ing of nearly 100000 votes by the
democrats in so short a time is
almost phenomenal.
Especially is the comparison of
results striking when it is consider
ed that the republican candidate for
governor of New York this year was
one of the most popular heroes of a
successful war-a national figure
with all the advantage of military
prestige and enthusiasm at his back,
while his democratic opponent. al
though an upright citizen and an
honorable man, was civilian who
before his nomination had scarcely
ever been heard of outside his judi
cial district.
When it is further considered
that the democratic detection in the
state and in the metropolitan dis
trict caused by the exclusion of
Judge Daily from the ticket nominal
ed at Syracuse is estimated to have

OF enough votes to have elected him
by good plurality, there is little
room for boasting about republican
success in the empire state.
And when the gain of ID demo.
cratic congressman, reducing the
republican delegation from IS to Is
inside two years, is taken into the
equation, the outcome of the cleo
ton last Tuesday in New York
wears much more the appearance Of
a republican rout than of demo
cratic defeat,

Santa Cruz del Sur Cuba, Nov.
1O.-At the session of the Cuban
assembly yesterday a resolution was
offered by Gonzales Lanuza, detail
ing how the Cuban army can be dis.
banded. There was an animate d
debate on the question by Manuel
Sanguilly, Gonzales Lanuza, An
drade Freyre, Juan Gualiberto
Gomez, Porfro Valiente, Rafael IL.
Portuondo and Calixto Garcia.
All are in thorough accord that
the army must disband as soon as
possible. The Cuban army is in a
bad condition. 1t has no clothes,
shoes nor money, and little food.
To disband the men in this condi-
ton means disorder and brigsndage.
The resolution was adopted. 1t
permits any soldier or officer to ask
for his discharge. This will be
given, but he must turn over his
arms and ammunition.
A committee will be elected to go
to Washington TO lay the situation
before President Mckinley so that
some action may be taken by the
United States.

Havana, Nov. 8, via Key West,
Nov 10.-Since early on the morning
of Sunday last the streets OF Havana
have again presented the appearance
of state of siege. At every corner
four regulars are stationed, armed
with Mauser rifles, besides the usual
city patrol.
As it is known the Orden Publico
forces have been threatening trouble
over the refusal of government to
pay the arrears of wages due them,
it was at first supposed these mill
tary precautions were taken owing
to thu fear of an outbreak In that
quarter. Later, however, it is learned
that Col. Masso Parro. late com
mander of the disbanded Cuban
Espanola Brigade, With his officers,
mad threatened to come to the city,
proceed to the palace and demand
settlement of his officers pay.
Feeling that the arrival Of Col
Parro would be the signal for other
maloontents to join the movement,
aud thus cause serious trouble. Cap
tain General Bianco forbade Colonel
Parro to come to Havana. Antici.
pating INSTRUMENTATION, however,
Gen. Blanco took precautions TO
quell any attempted uprising,
Gen. Masso Parro first attracted
attention when, ranking as Briga-
der General of the Cuban insurgents,
he deserted to the Spanish army,
was given the rank Of Colonel and
organized brigade OF 900 Cubars
under his leadership, known as the
Cuban Espanola Brigade, which did
signal service for the Spanjards

Washington, Nov. 10.-Late this
afternoon Chairman Babcoek of the
republican congressional committee
practically completed a list of the
Representatives elect to the Fifty
sixth Congress. The latest authentic
advices received by republican COM
mittee indicate that two districts are
IN doubt yet, viz: the Second Cali
fornia and the Twelfth Texas. In
both, however, Mr.. Babcock comedies
that the chances are favorable to the
democrats. He claims neither of
them.
Tonight Mr. Babcock's figures
show the election of 1S5 straight
republicans, 1913 democrats, six pop
ulists and one silver republican.
These figures do not include the two
doubtful districts mentioned. Con
ceding these two districts to the
democrats as "a means of reaching
definite results, Mr. Babcock claims
certain majority of 13 over all
opposition.
Little information of definite
nature was received by the demo-
cratic congressional committee to-
night. Secretary Kerr maintained
that the opposition to the republic

figures indicated that the opposition

DEWEYs PRIZES ARE USEFUL.
Fine Ships He Captured to Be Part of
Our Fleet.
rom The Boston Evening Transcript


From The Boston Evening Transcript
Washington.-The loss of the
Maria Teresa is compensated in a
measure by the gains to our navy
through the ships captured by
Admiral Dewey at the time of the
battle Of Manila bay and those after
wards seized at other ports in the
Philippines. Il appears from official
reports made to the Navy depart
ment that there ara five of these
ships which are in condition to be
utilized. Two are already in com
mission, commanded by officers in
Dewey's squadron, the Callao and q
smaller vessel. The three other
ships are each about the size of the
Machias or Yorktown they are called
the Cuba, the Luzon and the Austria.
The first named took part in the
battle of Manila bay. Last week
Secretary Long contracted with a
Hong Kong firm to put them all in
aerYiceable condition, at cost of l
million dollars, which indicates that
they will require extensive attention
and may not be in condition for
duty for three or four months. The
vessels which are to be overhauled
at Hong Kong are making ready
now at Manila for the trip, and will
leave in charge OF officers of the fleet,
conveyed probably by one of the
cruisers. These ships are designed
chiefly for service in the Philippines,
being admirably adapted for work
in the narrow bays, where larger
vessels could not enter. II the
islands become part OF the United
States it will always be necessary to
maintain several small gunboats
there, and the captured Spanish
ships would answer nicely for this
service.
