has organized court of inquiry
which Is now investigating the causes
of the delay Of the monitor Monad-
mock at Honolulu. The admiral was
greatly displeased by the tardiness of
that vessel. Her big guns might have
been sadly needed ut the capture of
Manila. She loafed so long on the Pa
cific that she arrived after all the
fighting was over and not until she
was some days overdue. Commander
Walker of the Concord Is defending
Captain w. ii. whiting OF the Monad-
mock. The investigation IL attracting
much interest among the naval OH
GERS.
The situation here is quiet There

less hostile in their attitude. Though
they control the water supply, the city
does not lack water.
Provost courts have been organized
and now hold sittings, Colonel Jewett
acting us chief.
There are few cases OF sickness In
the feet and the army.

Madrid. Aug. 4.-The government
has received a dispatch from General
, Rios, governor of the Vizcayas islands
and the successor of General Jau-
denes in the gOvernOr-generalship OF
the Philippines, saying that there has
been bloody fighting between the
Spaniards and the Insurgents. with
an estimated loss to the latter of 500

/, portant."
The dispatch says that n number of
the insurgent chiefs were captured
and shot. A sergeant of gendarmes.
who attempted to incite a rising
against the authorities. barely escaped
lynching at the hands OF the popu-
lace. He was turned over to the
courts and shot.

ganized six battalions of natives and
Spaniards for the purpose OF resisting
a threatened invasion of insurgents

Landing of Soldiers Received Little At
tention In Spain.
London, Aug. 26.-The Madrid corre-
spondent Of the Standard says:
Nothing can better illustrate the
country's weariness and disillusion than
the small excitement caused by the re-
turn of the repatriated troops. or the
225,OOO men who have left Spain for
the Antilles since March, 1895, $4,000
have perished In Cuba, 5000 have
been sent home invalided, and the re-
mainder are returning to be disbanded,
after receiving portion Of their nine
months arrears Of pay.
This clever stroke Of policy on the
part of the government will. 1t is be-
lIeved, avert the dangers that other
wise might have existed Of the discon-
tented army being made the tools Of
military or political intriguers and Car
lists.
There are forty-three generals and
5000 other officers on the active list.
For these 1t is proposed that the num-
ber OF line regiments shall be in
creased.
The government has very literally
provided hospitals and other accommo-
dattons for the returning troops, and
private subscriptions are pouring in
from various parts of Spain, also for
the assistance Of the sick soldiers.

Washington. Aug. 25.-The four big
monitors. Terror, Puritan. Miantono-
nah and Amphitrite, and the cruiser
Montgomery have been ordered by the
Navy Department to Newport, Rhode
Island. 1t had been thought the moni-
tors would be used in the large ports
OF Cuba and Porto Rico, but 1t has now
been decided to send them north. The
Miantonomah is at Dry Tortugas, and
the others are in West Indian waters.
The extreee heat has told severely on
officers and men of the monitors, these
craft having very limited accommoda-
tions above deck.

Promotion for Hob.on.

Washington. Aug. 27.-Assistant Ma
val Constructor Hobson was to have
been examined for promotion last
week, but, owing to his duties. he could
not 70 before the board. 1t was or
dered that his record be examined, to
see if that would entitle him to the
higher rank. The board says:
1.-THE board Joins with all the world
in admIring the skill, courage and gal
liant conduct Of Assistant Naval Con
structor Richmond p. Hobson In con-
nection with the Merrimac, as set

officer of the North Atlantic squadron"
The report then refers to the various
papers submitted in connection with
Mr.. Hobson's record, and closes with n
recommendation that he be promoted
to naval constructor.

London, Aug. 2J.-Naval circles here
are interested In the announcement
that the United States government is
contemplating the expenditure of $50.
100000 In the building OF fifteen new
war vessels. British naval construct
ors have much respect for the Arheri-
can inventive faculty, to which. guild
ed by the experience gained in the war.
they look for important II not radical
notifications in the prevailing type of
warship. In the new vessels OF the
American navy the English naval ar
chitects expect to find valuable object
lessons.
Already these constructors are con-
sfdering whether, in the light of the
naval battle of July 3rd. extensive al
terations ought not to be made in slips
already built TO minimize the danger
from shell fire. which the vessels of
SIMPSONS fleet proved to be so muir
derous.

New York, Aug. GA cable to the
Herald from Madrid says:
The Spanish troops at Manila have
received instructions to be ready to 60
to the neighboring islands at the or
ders OF General Rios. Senior Sagasta
to-day said 1t would be necessary to
confer with the American government
respecting the future Of the Manila
troops. One difficulty Of the govern
ment here Is to know what to do with
the civil employees In the Philippines.
Ar the Americans appear to have TAX
en- charge Of the administration and
funds In the treasury, the Spanish gov
ernment thinks It should transfer the
capital to another island.

CORTEs WILL MEET.
: CALLED FOR SEPTEMBER srH.
There Il Likely to ne . Hot Discussion of
All Matters Conserving the War aud
Peace AsasareA

London. Aug. 25.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Times says:
The convocation of the Cortes for
September 5th indicates that Senior
Sagasta had to capitulate TO major
ify OF his colleagues. The chief adyo-
cate OF the early assembling of the
Cortes was the minister OF justice,
Senor Groisaro, II recognized authority
ON intricate questions.
The peace conditions are thus fated
to pass twice through the fire of par
liamentary discussion-first in embry-
onic state, rs defined In the protocol,
and subsequently In fully developed
treaty form.
1t is stated that the government viii
insist upon prorogation during the sit
tings In Paris of the peace commits
sion.
The press halls this solution as 4
victory for genuine constitutionalism
over what Ell impartial describes as
a Dictatorship of impotence" There
are many Indications that the session
/. will be extremely lively. The govern
ment will have to justify the suspen-
sion of the constitution and the press
censorship. and there is no doubt that
the orators OF the chamber will make
strenuous efforts to rouse the nation
from it's culpable lcthargy.
Prolonged discussion on the chief in
cidents of the war are probable, and
awkward questions will be asked re-
garding the responsibility for blum
ders.
The discussion of the protocol Is
also likely to be prolonged and ami
mated. but It can hardly have any
practical Importance. because the fate
of the Antilles is irrevocable and the
Philippines question cannot be mi
nutcly examined before the Paris COM
mission meets. The bishop OF Tara
COMO, In pastoral, and many news
Papers and clergy, deplore the rage
throughout the country for amuse-
ments which eliminated in the unus-
ual spectacle of women acting as tor
eadors in n bull fight here, a thing
most reprehensible when the country
is mourning the loss of brave men.

HUN DJ1NOO's Mss MINNIE WINToN.

There Is a movement on foot to send the Springdale band to Omaha for few days playing at the Exposition. While in Omaha recently Mir. Wilkinson looked after the matter some, and he reports having secured an excellent stopping place for the boys. He is also ot the opinion that the band could get considerable work to do there, possibly enough to pay expenses. Should the band go, it is the intention to take about twenty men, all of them good players and capable of furnish ing tirst-class music. They will also take along with them printed matter descriptive of this section. It occurs to ns that this would be a good thing for Springdale and sur rounding country in the way of an advertisement and every one should lend their encour- agement to the enterprise.

The Special War Tax.

The business men of Sprlng dale will begin to realize to- day that there is war on hand and that 1t takes money to keep it agoing. Beginning to-day every man who writes a bank check of any amount, will be required to put spec ial , cent stamp on 1t to make 1t legal. He Is also required to write the date and the initials of the person using same, and if he fails to do so he Is subject to a fine of not not more than S1OO. Banks are also required to pay a special tax, according 10 the amount of capital stock, be sides paying a stamp tax on drafts, etc. Notes, mortgages. deeds, and iu fact nearly every form of legal paper, will have to bear a special stamp to make 1t good on and after to day. Dealers are required to stamp every bottle of proprie tary medicine, and one of Uncle Sans little sticking plasters will have to be placed on every box of chewing gum before the dealer can sell 1t. When we go to the postoffice we will again be confronted by the war tax, as 1t will cost an ad ditional 2 cents to buy q money order. In fact turn in almost any direction you may, you will run against Uncle Sam's war tax. The people of this country are patriotic, however, and will bear this ad ditional burden willingly and uucomplainingly.
