ALLEGED TROUBLE WITH CUBANs
Stories About Hostility Amusing
Cuban Purpose to Establish Inde-
pendent Government in Accordance
With McKinIey's Proclamation.

WASHINGTON, d. c., September 16.-
Military movements are being directed
rapidly toward the assembling of large
army IN southern stations for winter
camps. and preparatory TO the military
occupation Of Cuba and Porto Rico. About
20 600 troops are now located in the South,
and orders will be issued sending the
First Sixth, Ninth, and Tenth Cavalry
from Montauk TO southern stations. The
Third Cavalry has already gone South,
and the First and Second Infantry were
Yesterday afternoon ordered to Admission,
and the Eighth and Sixteenth TO Hunts
Vile. This leaves the Seventh. Fourth.
and Twenty-ffth Infantry and the Sc
cond Volunteer Engineer Regiment and
Companies G and II. of the Fourth Artil-
lery. at Montauk. Within a day or two
these troops will be ordered South, and
Camp Wikoff will be no more.
The major part of the army thus as
sembled is destined for service in Cuba,
with a smaller force for Porto Rico, and
a reserve in the winter camps IL is
not the intention, however to send the
army of occupation TO Cuba until after
the unhealthy season has passed. and
mean while the troops will be put in the
best possible condition.
TROUBLE WITH INSURGENTS.
In assembling and organizing the army
for the occupation of Cuba, the conside-
ration of possible trouble with the or
ganized insurgents is not being taken
into serious account The Habana dis
patches stating that there has developed
q strong sentiment In favor of independ-
ence and opposition to annexation. cou-
pied with hostility toward the United
States, is read with rather an air Of
amusement by officials Of the admins
tration. The purpose of the Cubans 10
establish a stable independent form Of
government is strictly in accordance with
the terms of the Presidents proclama-
tion, and therefore affords no reason for
a feeling of hostility.
All information in possession Of the
War Department. ii is said, indicates
harmony Of purpose between the Cubans
and the representatives Of the govern
ment.

and trusted messenger who has stood
guard at the doors OF the secretaries and
assistant secretaries OF State for many
years. and who will in Paris still be on

quarters.
DAY SAYS GOOD-BY.

farewell to all of the employees, indi-
viduallv.
Captain Bradford, Chief Of the Bureau
of Equipment of the Navy Department,
was notified at the last moment that the
President desired his attendance upon the
commissioners in Paris in the capacity of
an expert, for no one else in the United
States navy is so well informed as is this
officer as to the needs of the navy in the
matter Of coaling and naval stations. He

IN THE ACCIDENT AT SEA.
Messrs. HiII Montague and II. u.
Brnnch on the Steamer Gloucester.


BOSTON, MASS. September l6.-(Spe-
ciai.)-Mr. Hill Montague, of Richmond,
and Mr. j.. b. Branch, Of Petersburg, had
a thrilling experience this morning, and
narrowly escaped with their lives. They
were passengers on the Baltimore steam
er Gloucester en- route to Boston, which
collided with fisherman's schooner and
caused the l3ss Of nine lives. The two
Virginia gentlemen were EN- route TO at
tend the Sovereign Grand Lodge of odd
Fellows, which convenes here next week,
and came I'm their Official capacities as
grand representatives to the national ses-
sion.
It was in the early morning. long be-
fore daylight when they were rudely
awakened in their berths by terrible
crash. Mr.. Montague says that his berth
was 20 near TO the point OF collision that
he could distinctly hear the splintering
Of the tlmbers OF the hull OF the schooner
and the shrieks Of the dying. He rushed
out on deck in scanty attire. expecting to
land in the water at any moment
'It was a dark night. cloudy. but not
foggy," said Mr.. Moitague. I'VE cut the
schooner as cleanly in two as If we had
been a knife, and our iron prov must
have crushed to death some Of the poor
sailors / feared that there would be a
panic on board the steamer, but fortu-
nately this danger was averted. The wo-
men were very badly frightened"
Mr.. Branch says he was so completely
dazed by the shock and by being suddenly
aroused from his sleep that he couldn't
fully appreciate the situation until it was
all over. He states that the crew OF the
Gloucester did all in their power TO rescue
those on board the ill-fated sailing vessel.

NATIONAL LINsEED OIL COMPANY,
AppIication for Receiver There
for Made by Nyer bernhard.

CHICAGO, September b.-AppHcauon
for a receiver for the National Linseed-
Oil Company was made In the United
States Circuit Court late to-day. The
bill was filed by Myer Bernhard, who
states that he is the owner OF 80 shares
of the stock OF the corporation.
Bernhard sets up the claim that the
National Lnseed-Oil Company has be-
come thoroughly discredited, chiefly
through the operations Of its officers and
directors, and so embarrassed, financially,
that II is no longer able to prose
cute its business effectively and with
profit, or to carry out the objects for
which 1t was Incorporated.
The bill asserts that by reason of
gross and fraudulent mismanagement
on the part OF it's officers and directors,
and the misappropriation by them of its
monies. revenue, and income, the COM
pany has been paralyzed in its opera
tions. and been unable to meet its finan-
cal engagements.

CASE OF COLORED PAYMAsTER.
Refusal of Texans to Receive Pay
from Him.

WASHINGTON, September 6.-Pay-
master-General Stanton has turned over
to the President all the papers relating
to the recent unpleasantness growing out
Of the refusal OF Texas regiment to re-
ceive pay from Major Lynch because he
is colored. The President has taken no
definite action beyond expressing appro-
val of General Stanton's course in send
ing a sharp dispatch to the commanding
paymaster Of that department, stating in
effect that as Major Lynch had been regu-
larly commissioned by the President as
an army paymaster, the troops must take
their pay from him or else go without pay.
Thus the matter stands, with the papers
before the President. There is the possi-
bility that n new question may arise on
the point of insubordination in refusing
to receive pay from a paymaster regu-
larly commissioned 20 make payments.
