LATEST REBELLION.
CAROLINES SAID TO HAVE
GAINED INDEPENDENCE.
Native Kings join In Throwing on tho
Spanish yoke-Ths Garrison Driven
Into the Barracks and Probably Killed
Uncle sam Helps Natives.

SAN Francisco, Sept. lathe Caro-
line group Of islands, belonging to
Spain, is by this time in the hands Of
the natives Of the group, with the
Spanish garrison wiped out.
News of n revolution in the islands
reached this city In letters from Hon.
olulu, brought by the steamer Coptic.
The story was borne to Honolulu by a
trading schooner, which touched at
the Carolincs.
Two nativs kings, who had long
been Mt war with each other. declared
a truce n few months ago, combined
their forces and began n war against
the Spanish authorities.
The Spnniards were concentrated at
Ponape and 1t was here the natives
made their attack. The blacks fought
with such vigor and in such numbers
that the Spaniards were compelled to
take shelter in the Ponape barracks,
which they held.
The gunboat Quiros was then dis
patched to Guiana for aid, but on ar
irving there found the American flag
floating. The Quiros never returned.
At zap, in tn, Caroline group, it was
thought she was lost. The supposition
is that the Ladrone garrison of Amcri-
cans held possession of her.
There were 200 soldiers in Ponapc
town, but these were poorly supplied
with ammunition and in no position to
resist n prolonged attack. The be-
lief is that the place was captured and
the Spanish garrison slain.
The entire group, unless the Span
iards made an unexpected stand must
be by this time in the possession Of
the natives.
This story is confirmed by Jamcs
Wilder of Honolulu. who recently re-
turned to Hawaii from n tour in the
Carolines. lie said at that time the
natives were much disconnected and
were preparing for n revolt.
The Carolines are a widely scattered
archipelago to the east Of the Philip
pines. The surface is frequently well
wooded and the soil fertile. While
Spanish authority has been recognized
by the outside world, each island and
even the villagers formed separate,
independent, but cooperative repub-
lies. The most peculiar institution is
the Ciobbergoll. a kind of cooperation
for purposes OF mutual aid and de-
Tense. The women possess Clobber'
COILS Of their own and exert a consid.
cradle share of political influence.
The Carolines are divided into three
groups-the Pelcios, containing about
l0,O 900 people; the Central Carolines,
with about 10000 and the Eastern Car
dimes, with over 100, 900 people. The
group was discovered by the Spaniard:
in 1928.

LEES CORPS TO HAVANA.
Troops Expected to Loave Jacksonville
In n Few Weeks.

WASHINGTON, Sept. l3.-An oficiai
Mt the war department said to-day
that in three weeks General Lees
Seventh corps probably will be re-
quircd ut Havana. 1t would better
suit the war department If the Span
ish troops were to remain ut that point
until November, but as this govern
ment has no control over them and
General Blanco and his men are anx-
ious to return to Spain, there is little
probability that such an arrangement
can be effected.
The rainy season in Cuba will soon
terminate. BY the time General Lee
reaches the island it will surely have
spent itself. General Lees troops
have so long been stationed at jack
~sonville and have become so thor
oughly seasoned to climatic effects and
camp life that much of the danger APP
pretended from climatic diseases will
have been reduced to a minimum. or
all the troops campcd on American
soil in this war those located in Jack
souville have thus far boon the health

contented aud not afflicted with do.

Is NEARING A CRISIS.
Situation In the Philippines Grows More
Serious.

Serious.
MANILA, Sept. l3.-General Otis has
attacked the complicated questions he
incurred from General Merritt, his
predecessor, with remarkable energy
and decision, and is rapidly establish
ing order in every department where
comparative chaos ruled before.
Aguinaldo has persistently demanded,
in terms not too polite, various i'm
possible concessions-for example, an
occupation of the governor generals
palace, "A written assurance that the
insurgents will be permitted to occupy
permanently their military positions
around Manila, and protection for the
insurgent vessels by the American
fleet, with many other claims, includ-
ing nm innocent demand for u share of
the booty captured by the Americans
at Manila.
After a careful review Of the situa.
ton General Otis arrived at the log
zeal conclusion hat the insurgents
have no right to occupy the suburbs OF
Manila and that A~guinaldo's claims
have the support of neither equity nor
reason. He has therefore categorically
refused to consider ~Aguinaldo's de
mands, and has sem him an ultima
tum in terms plainly comprehensive
and authoritative, that he must with
draw his troops from the suburbs be-
fore the 18th or suffer the conse-
quenccs of refusal.

dmirai Cervera's Plan for OPPOSING Of
His ships-Minister Aunon Vetoed IL.
MADRID, Sept. 13.-In the chamber
of deputies Saturday, Captain Aunon,
minister Of marine, replying to tho
attacks Of Senior Canalejas, editor of
FL Heraldo, reminded the deputies
that when he became minister of ma
rine the Spanish squadron under Ad-
miral Cervera was already at Santiago
de Cuba. Therefore, he declared, he
could not be held responsible for the
acts charged by Senior Canalejas.
Moreover, he asserted that the id
mirals met in council and expressed a
unanimous opinion that the squadron
should go to Cuba.
admiral Ccrvera, not having coal
or food, was unable, said Captain Au-
non, ito leave the blocliaded port of
Santiago. He wanted to blow up his
ships in the harbor, but / informed
him that it would be preferable to
leave the port and engage the enemy.
General Blanco ordered Admiral Ger
vera to leave Santiago and fixed the
day of his dcparture."

emptory orders from General Miles
preparations are making to break up
Camp Wikoff at once by sending homo.
all the soldiers here. This is entirely
contrary to what has been the under
standing Of the officers In command.
General Shafter said last week that
5000 or 1000 men would be kept here
at least until October, and this vas
supposed to have been tho order Of
Secretary Alger.
An officer said to-day that when
General Miles order came a telegram
was sent him saying that his order
was contrary to hat of Secretary
Algcr. Miles replied: Never mind
what Alger says; 1 am in command
now"
That. OF course, settled IL so far a.
the officers here are concerned, and
unless General Miles orders are coun-
fernandez next week will SEQ the
practical end Of Camp Wikoff.
General Bates said: my orders are
to send the troops away as fast rs
transportation can be arranged"
When asked il these orders did NOT
conflict with those Of Secretary Alger,
he said: They are new orders"
In pursuance of the plan, the detcn-
ton hospital is being abandoned. All
the men in this hospital fit to travel
are going to New York on the SHINE
cock and the others are to be taken to
the general hospital. The general
hospital is clearing out as fast as pos
sible, but there are 200 or 300 cases
that cannot be moved without danger.
Strong frame buildings are now
building for the use OF these patients
These buildings will be finished in two
or three days, and the worst cases will
be moved into them. Nearly all OF
these are typhoid fever cases. To
move these would cause great mortal
ity. Major Brown says he thinks
there will be about fifty cases which
cannot be moved for two or three
weeks at least.
The fall of 10 degrees in the tenn
perature, which was predicted by tho
signal service, came Saturday night,
and before midnight the whole camp
was shivering. The cold wave was
accompanied by a high wind, and for
several hours during the night there
seemed to be some danger that many
of the tents would be blown out, but
they withstood the storm, which mod
Grated toward morning.

MILES TELLS ARMY'S NEEDS.
Says There Should He Ono Soldier for
Each 1000 Population.

WAsuINGToS, Sept. l2.--Gcncral
Miles came to the war department at
10 o'clock yesterday and spent n short
time in his room at army headquar-
ters. Speaking Of the future of tho
army, General Miles said that there
was a number of matters which re-
CURED careful and deliberate consider
alton with respect to the army organ
ization, and that undoubtedly steps in
that direction would be taken rs soon
as practicable. The acquisition of
territory obviously made 1t necessary
that there should be a larger army,
and tho experience of the war had
demonstrated the necessity of estab-
fishing a standard and having the
troops thoroughly trained to the mill
tary service. 1t was desirable, he
said, that the army should be
organized on the basis of ono
soldier to every certain number of in
habitants. 1t was recognized by mil
itary authorities, even before the close
of the war of the rebellion, that the
establishment of u standard was de,
sirable, but from time to time the
army had been reduced. until it had
reached a number disproportionatcly
small to the size of the country and
its population. lie thought that one
soldier to every 1000 population prob
ably would 10 found to be the right
ratio for the standard, and that tn,
army standard being adopted, woulc
increase according To the recognized
needs Of the government in an cxact
ratio to the increase OF the population
lie said that it was just as ncccssar,
that soldiers should have proper train
ing as 1t was to train man to bull,
houses, or to have n man skilled in hi
profession to perform any professiona
service. 1t was essential that u,
army should DO composed OF soldier
trained to their profession, command
cd by efficient officers in every grad
ana controlled strictly according I
military principles. That militar
operations should be directed by mi
itary men, he said, was too obvious
need to be stated.

with which 1t IS anticipated the com

VANCOUVER, B. c., Sept. l3.-New
Westminster, the chief city on the
Fraser river, presents n heart-rending
scene of ~dcsolation, fire having yester-
day morning wiped out the whole OF
the business portion. There is not q
public building standing in the cen
trail portion of the city. Famed by a
fierce wind, almost a gale, the fire,
which started on the water side by
sparks from a passing steamer, spread
with such awful rapidity that ten
streets were blazing in three hours,
and only smoking ashes mark the
spots where scores Of houses formerly
stood. Handsome blocks, banks and
churches went up in smoke. The ca.
thcdral of tho diocese is no more, Hun
dreds Of people are helpless and relief
Is being rushed from this city.
Every industry save the big Royal
City planning mills and Glove Canning
company plant has been wiped out.
Every merchants Office has been
burned. Bankers, hotel men, sawmill
men, Gamers, merchants of all descrip-
%tions, have nothing left in which TO do
business.
The loss is roughly estimated at S..

Alger expressed himself as well pleased
at the Presidents selections of mem
bers of a committee to investigate the
condition Of the commissary, quarter
masters and medical departments OF
the war department during the war.
On the subject of sickness among the
soldiers, General Alger said:
The whole trouble has been in the
volunteer troops not knowing how to
care for themselves and carelessness in
warding off disease. The regular men
have not been troubled as the volun-
teers have. They have had yellow
fever and fevers from exposure in tho
trenches before Santiago, but their
general health has been good, and tho
proportion Of sick and deaths from
sickness is very small"
