MOUNTED CUBAN POLICE,
Arrangements Completed for Formation
 of Force to Patrol Santiago.

Santiago de Cuba, Sept 29,-Arrange- ments have been completed for the for nation of force of Cuban mounted police for the province of Santiago. It consists of a commandant, with the rank of major, three captains, six lieu tenants, ten sergeants and 240 enlisted men. The rate of pay of the enlisted men are the same as in the United States army, while the officers get two thirds. General Castillo has charge of the preliminaries of the appointments. But he must select capable men who have served in the Cuban army and the officers must have held similar or a higher rank in the Cuban army. This police force will have a large territory to cover and it is expected that as soon as the Cuban troops disband the law less element will have to be kept in check Even at present, quantities of cattle are stolen and complaints are ire quent both to Generals Wood and Cas- tillo, and they are determined to put an end to this state of affairs.
 The Cubans are beginning to under stand that the sudden change they wanted after the surrender would have caused disorder and confusion, while TOW every day number of Cubans are appointed to positions of power Cap tain Brady of the signal service is en- deavoring to arrange with the Cuban Sub Marine Cable company for cour- tesy similar to the one extended by the British West Indies Cable company-a daily bulletin service of the worlds news. As matters now stand, Santiago is dead to the world. The present mail service is extremely limited, letters reaching here only about twice month. The bulletin service, if granted, will be invaluable to the officials, the troops and inhabitants of this place.

TRIALjOF CHAPLAIN M,INTYRE.
Prosecution Closes It's Case-Witnesses
 for the Defemae Heard.

Denver, Col, Sept. 29.-When the
 court martial of the Rev. Joseph
 F. Mcintyre, chaplain of the battleship
 Oregon, was resumed to-day. Henry
 M. Courier was called by the prosecu- tion. He practically reiterated the tes-
 timony of previous witnesses that
 Chaplain Mcintyre in his lecture on
 August charged Admiral Sampson
 with reporting himself within the four mile limit at the time of the capture
 of the Spanish ship Colon, when he was
 in reality eight or ten miles distant. He also corroborated statements of
 other witnesses regarding the alleged contemptuous allusion of the chaplain to Captain Evans of the Iowa and the
 statement that the Oregon was the only battleship that was honestly built, contracts for all eastern built vessels being secured through political pulls.'
 After the testimony of MT. Courier was finished, Judge Advocate Laucheim5r announced that the prosecution had closed.
 Attorney Cranston for the defense O. II, senator, who heard Chaplain McIntyre's lecture, on the stand. He testified that the chaplain said that the Oregon was one of the best ships af1oat and that the eastern shipbuilders through their political influence had for years been able to secure contracts from the gov ernment and having no competition had not been careful in building vessels. The Oregon, being the first one built by western contractor, received special at tention in its construction. He heard
 no charges of dishonesty in building ships. The chaplain, witness said said that at the beginning of the battle the Oregon was five miles from the Spanish ships and the Iowa about three. The Oregon at once started for the Spanish
 vessels and met the Iowa going the
 other way.
 He heard nothing about the Iowa go- ing to the rear. The chaplain had re- ferred to Captain Evans as Fighting Bob'' but there was no manner indi- eating contempt. The audience had 1 laughed when such allusions were made Witness testified that the chap l lain said that when the battle began the New York was eleven miles away,
 but during the fight she came up so | that at the surrender of the Colon she
 was within signalling distance, which,
 he explained, was within four miles, and that she was so reported. The chaplain did not state that the admiral reported himself within the four-mile limit. Witness said he believed the
 chaplain said something to the effect that the audience was as much entitled
 to prize money as Admiral Sampson.

THE PHILIPPINE DELEGATES.
Their Chief Desire is the Termination
 of Spanish Sovereignty.

Washington, Sept 29.-The reports from Manila that Aguinaldo would to- day hold a grand ceremony to proclaim the republic of the Philippines, with himself at the head has not been made known to Aguinacillo, head of the Phil ippine delegation here. He said to-day that he looked for cable at any time, in response to inquiries, which would show just what the present status of affairs was. Senator Chandler of New Hampshire, who is taking personal interest in the Philippine question, and General Greene, who accompanied Aguinacillo on his trip had long con- ference with him to-day. Senator Chandler said afterward that there was no doubt that the president would re- ceive the delegation to get full informa- tion on the condition of affairs at home. When asked to sum up the desires of the Philippine delegates MT. Chandler said:
 "The first and most essential purpose is to have the treaty of Paris-the final treaty which will stand for all time contain an article terminating absolute ly the sovereignty of Spain over the Philippines. It is not alone the termin- ation of Spanish sovereignty over the Island of Luzon, or Manila, that they desire, but the end of Spanish rule over the entire group of islands. The disap- pearance of Spanish rule from the Phil ippine being assured, the next purpose | of the Filiponos, as I gather from their delegates, is to have an opportunity to try their capacity for government under American protection if need be during the transition period, or, if that seems inexpedient, then they want this government to assume the direction and ! control of affairs by annexation or such
 other method as may meet the condi-
 tion of affairs. They seem to feel sat isfied that the question of future rule can be solved without difficulty after the first great aim of terminating Span- ish rule is brought about"

HILL GIVES OUT 4 STATEMENT.
The Ticket Agreeable to Him and Will
 Receive His Support.


 Receive His Support.
 Syracuse, N. Y., Sept. 29.-Ex- Senator David B. Hill gave out this statement tonight T originally doubted the wisdom of taking a candidate from Greater New York and personally should have preferred that some one of the excellent gentlemen whose names were prominently mentioned residing in the country portion of the state should have received the nomination. But in conference with leading demo- crats majority thought otherwise, and yielded my personal views after a full and frank discussion. AS whole, the ticket is satisfactory. I have known Judge Van Wyck for many years and regard him as an able jurist and know him to be good democrat and that he would make an excellent governor. The rest of the ticket is composed entirely of up state men and could hardly be improved The convention was har- monious, the platform is safe, conserva- tive and timely and the organization of the state committee this day presented is very agreeable to me. I shall give the entire ticket my whole support"
