SOLDIERS IN A WRECK.
Six of Them Injured, and One VIII
Lose a Hand.


Mddletown, Pa, Oct. 29.-The last
long train of weary soldiers from Phil
adelphia reached Camp Meade last
evening, and the men went direct to
their quarters. General Graham arrived
this morning, and the last arrange
nents for moving the troops south are
being made. 1t is expected that there
will be a movement made by Nov. z,
and the entire corps will get away by
Nov. 20.
An accident that might have result
ed very seriously occurred to the train
on which the Ninth Ohio colored troops
were going to Camp Meade from Phila-
delphia. The train had reached Hum
melstown, on the Reading road, and
was waiting to be switched on to the
branch road that goes to Middletown.
While standing on the switch freight
train from Harrisburg came along on
the same track, and before 1t could be
tagged 1t crashed into the troop train,
smashing the rear car and injuring six
men, all of Company c. Floyd Stewart
had his hand crushed, and it will have
to be amputated. The cause of the ac-
cident is alleged to be the carelessness
of the fagman in not going back far
enough to stop the freight train, he not
taking the usual distance customary
where train is tagged, Half a dozen
freight cars were smashed, and the car
containing the horses on the troop train
was broken open and the animals es-
capped, adding to the confusion.

Hiss Smith on Faith.

Miss Smiths subject at St. Paul's
church yesterday afternoon was Faith.
She pointed out tho difference between
faith as u gift and faith US u grace and
thought that If faith and love do not
abound in us, it is not because we are not
sincere enough but because tho great re.
serve within us nc 8 asa barrier to our
progress.
DR.. Murray related one of his carly ex-
perieuces, which had an amusing thread
running through it. He had been called to
a distant pulpit which he was to fill for u
time.
They called on him for three successive
nights, on each of which he had a written
sermon, but was worried about the fourth
night
As luck would have 1t they did not call
on him. II they had, said DR.. Murray, he

the meeting closed enthusiastically.

SOLDIERS THREATEN TO STRIKE
Revolt Against Limited Issuance of
Passes at Camp Hamilton.

Revolt Against Limited Issuance OF
PASSES at Camp Hamilton.
Lexington, Ky, Get. 29.-It is pre-
sumed that important inside informa-
ton has been received here relative to
the retention of the troops at Camp
Hamilton until they move for foreign
service. On account of their disorderly
conduct and the several shooting
scrapes caused by the presence of
the soldiers in Lexington, General San
ger, division commander, few weeks
ago issued an order allowing but two
passes issued from one company at a
time, and compelling all soldiers to be
back in camp by dark This strin-
gency has affected the line officers as
well.
In the Third Kentucky. One Hundred
and Sixtieth Indiana and Twelfth New
York there Is open mutiny. Thursday
night the members of these regiments
secretly agreed to rebel against doing
any camp service until the order was
modified concerning the issuing Of
passes. The plan was that when the
battalions went on dress parade the
men were to stack arms and refuse to
further drill until change was made
in the order of issuing passes. The
officers got wind of the matter and at
the last moment an order was issued
suspending dress parade for the pres
ent. A modification of the order will
probably be made, but If it is not seri-

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.
Iive Thanks For the Speedy Cessation
of Hoatlllties

Give THANKS For the speedy Cessation
of Hostilities.
WASHINGTON Oct. 20.-The president
after the cabinet meeting yesterday Is
sued the following thanksgiving proc
lamation:
The approaching November brings to
mind the custom Of our ancestors, hal
lowed by time and rooted in our most
sacred traditions, of giving thanks to
Almighty God for all the blessings he
has vouchsafed to US during the past
year.
Few years in our history have af-
forded such cause for thanksgiving.
We have been blessed by abundant
harvests. our trade and commerce have
been wonderfully increased, our pub
lie credit has been improved and
strengthened, all sections of our COM
mon country have been brought to-
gether and knitted into closer bonds Of
national purposes and unity.
The skies have been for time dark
ened by the cloud of war, but as we
were compelled to take up, the sword In
the cause of humanity we are permit
ted to rejoice that the conflict has been
of brief duration and the losses we have
had to mourn. though grievous and i'm
portant, have been so few, consider
ing the great results accomplished,
as to inspire us with gratitude and
praise that the cessation of hostilities
came so soon as to spare both sides
the countless sorrows and disasters
that attend protracted war.
! do, therefore, invite all my fellow
citizens. as well those at home as those
who may be at sea or sojourning In
foreign lands, to set apart and observe
Thursday, the Gath day of November,
as day of national thanksgiving for
all the blessings of the year, for the
mildness of seasons and the fruitful
ness Of the soil, for the continued pros
perty of the people. for the devotion
and valor of our countrymen, for the
glory Of our victory and the hope Of
righteous peace.

Judge Dellenbaugh, From the Bench,
Denies Gossip Affecting Him.
Cleveland. O., Oct. 29.-As a result Of
a story which has been circulated dur
ing the past two or three days to the
effect that Judge F. A. Dellenbaugh,
Of the common pleas court, had re-
ceived half of an attorneys fees in
big divorce case tried before him the
Judge yesterday made a sensational
statement from the bench. At the
opening Of court the Judge arose and
said
Il wish to beg the pardon of attor-
neys and litigants for being a little
tardy this morning. I have been de-
layed by reason OF certain stories-lies
which have been circulated against
me. Attorney Vernon Burke is the in
stigator Of these stories, and Judge
Lamson, Of this court, has been the
conduit through which they were given
publicity. I will only say now that
bar meeting will determine which of
these men, Burke or Lamson, is the
most malicious liar"
Burke is state senator and well
known attorney. He was the leader
in the opposition to the election of M.
A. Hanna for United States senator in
the state legislature last winter Judge
Lamson Is one Of the common pleas
judges.
Judge Dellenbaugh is very intimate
friend Of Senator Hanna.

WANTS A
W0RKH0USE.
Grand Jury of Kent Coun-
ty Favors the Erec=
tion of a Peni-
tertiary.

The Kent County Grand Jury before i'd
journing presented tho following report:
"We deplore the overcrowded condition
of the Kent county prison, where mon are
permitted 10 ROMAN portions OF a life time
oppressed and degenerated by their own
idleness Their minds thus seek, rather
than turn from, channels Of vice an
crime, and they become designing men in
their wtvkedness, rather than reformed
and good citizens. The necessity for q
public work-house, with tho presence of
crime among us, and to restore rather
than destroy meE, now seems absolute"
Tho members of the bar and others who
were present were surprised. Kent Coun-
ty legislators refused to support the
scheme at the last session of the legisla-
ture.
Dover Jail is overcrowded and the best
people are disgusted with it. An effort
will be made during tho coming Legisla-
ture to have a state penitentiary built.
The trouble with Kent and Sussex
heretofore was that they wanted the off,
ces sn1 New Castle County to bear the
expense.

CUBANS At VARIANCE
Mr.. Pierra Describes General Palma
-: -. as Incompetent. .,..4:...
He DECEIVED OUR GOVERNMENT.

The Assembly Now in Session in Santa
Cruz Is Declared to Be Illegal, aud
Eminent Cubans Are Working to
Prevent Too Radical Action,
New York, Oct 29.-The Times prints
the following: Fidel G. Pierra said
yesterday that strong movement had
been started in Havana IN opposition
to the provisional government and to
the junta here. He gave the reasons
for such movement, showing that there
is a sharp division Of sentiment among
Cubans. MIR. Pierra and his friends are
especially bitter against General Pal
ma, At the commencement of his in
terview he said that he was now ready
to break the long silence and paint Mr..
Palma and the men surrounding MIN
in their true colors. General Palma,
Mr.. Pierra said was incompetent and
unfit for the position he had been oc-
cupying."
what was objected to most strong
ly," said Mr.. Pierra, was the long con-
tinuation of lying and deceit which they
practiced on the administration at
Washington. They told untruths, and
they know it. They lied when they
said that the so-called government in
Cuba was established and the ma
chinery in running order. This has
since been disproved."
Mr.. Perra next entered into a
lengthy review of the causes leading
up to the Cuban insurrection. He dis
cussed at length the movements OF the
junta during the Spanish American
war, saying among other things; I'VE
finally discovered that very close
alliance had been formed between the
delegation and the provisional govern
ment in Cuba for purposes which were
sure to create trouble, being in con-
tradiction with the declared policy of
the United States, and we began quiet
ly to prepare for action. ] issued

the Santa Cruz assembly and of the
policy adopted by the provisional gov
ernment and protesting against them.
1T was too late to prevent the elec-
tions taking place. for it was done in
great haste, but the pamphlet was
profusely circulated all over the ISL
and. 1t opened the eyes of the people

gates to the assembly who were de-
slrous of doing what was right and

the agents OF the provisional govern

matters in Havana a confidential agent
of General Garcia arrived here, and as

Want to Raise the Maine,

Washington, Oct. 29.-The Acme
Wrecking company. of San Francisco,
has made request upon the navy de-
partment for authority to raise the
battleship Maine and bring her to this
country. If the government wants the
ship after she reaches the United
States the company will want to be
paid salvage money. It Is probable,
In case the government did not want
the ship. the company would exhibit
her in different large seacoast cities
OF the United States. No money Is
demanded from the government by
the company. 1t Is stated at the de-
partment unofficially that In case the
company is found reliable the authority
asked Will 10 doubt be given.

GENERAL WOOD AT MANZANILLO
General Rios Strongly Opposed to Dis
banding Cuban Troops.

O"nuAhb cND"h AAoopSs
Mansanillo. Cuba, Oct. 29.-The UNI
ted States gunboat Hist arrived here
last night with General Leonard Wood.
commander of the military department
Of Santiago, accompanied by Lieuten-
ant Matthew Hanna. On landing
General Wood was visited by Colonel
Petit and his adjutant and he was
subsequently received by Colonel Pet
tits entire regiment. General Wood
then visited the barracks. hospitals,
palaces, custom house and postoffice.
Colonel Petit reports that the Cuban
General Rios Is apparently making ev-
cry effort to prevent the disbanding of
his troops. The Cuban commander
wishes all the sugar estates in the
neighborhood to tell him how many
men they can employ and will guar
antee to supply all required on condi-
tion that only soldiers are employed
The planters unanimously refuse to
fall in with such an arrangement, con-
sidering that it would be trades union
Of the worst possible kind and would
also tend to keep up the Cuban mill
tary organization, which In the in
terest of the island the planters are
particularly anxious to break up. In
their opinion it would be better to have
no commerce than to attempt 1t on
such conditions.
Lieutenant Luclen Young, the COM
mander of the Hist, created more ex-
citement on landing than even Gen.
eral Wood himself. Crowds gathered
at the wharf to see the young COM
mander who. with Lieutenants Holm
and Jungen. of the Hornet and Wom-
patuck defeated a whole flotilla of
Spanish gunboats at Manzanillo on
July last. The people Of Manzanillo
consider Lieutenant Young hero and
terror, and think he ought to be an
admiral, for although the Spanish
shore batteries In that memorable en-
gagement continued to lombard the
American gunboats. 1t is generally ad-
mitted here that 1t was the shooting
of the Hist that caused people to flee
to the mountains. In many parts of
the city are still visible marks of the
