GENERAL BLANCO
Issues Order Suspending All Further
 Discharges from Spanish Army.

Havana, October 26.-Yesterday Cap tain-General Blanco issued the following order:
 Having received by cable on October IT communication from the minister of war at Madrid announcing that the troops will be paid and discharged upon their arrival in. Spain, I have resolved to suspend, til the minister of war replies to an in sfIuiry I have since made, all further dis charges, pursuant to my order of October 4, of troops desiring to remain in the island. (Sgned BLANCO."
 It has been agreed by the Spanish au- thorities, in view of the protest of the United States evacuation commissioners, to leave the matter of the sale of alleged obsolete ordnance in abeyance until the question can be decided at the peace con ference in Paris. This afternoon, howev- CT, two six-inch guns from batteries at Fl Vedado just back of the Hotel Trocha, were carried away before the very eyes of the American commissioners, presumably for shipment to Spatn.
 Tho Spanish mail steamers Montevideo and Ciudad de Cadz will leave Havana on Saturday for Gibara to embark the remain der of the Holgun troops.

GARRISON CAMP SITES.
Their Final Selection Awaits Presidents
 Return from Philadelphia.

Washington, October 26.-The final action of camp sites for American troops who will garrison Cuba awaits the presidents return from Philadelphia. Although discussed at some length at the cabinet meeting yester- day, the various reports of the Hecker board were not finally disposed of, and it is probable that the cabinet will feel that t should take some expert advice lefor- making final selections. The troops will not be landed at any one place, but each de- tachment will be landed at the nearest and most accessible port to the place which is to form it's camping grounds. Among the places that have been recommended by the Hecker board are:
 Guanabaca, which be reached best from Regla, opposite Havana on the bay; Mariana, about six miles southwest of Havana, with seaport at Playa de Mariana and Mariel, on bay of the same name about tw enty-five miles distant from Havana and beyond Mariano. All of these sites fulfill the needs of good camping ground, but in each case the Hecker board has found that there must be considerable expenditure by the government if perman- ent landing places are to be provided so that troops will not run the risk of infee- tion in passing through Havana.

PRELIMINARY TRIAL
Of Men Charged With Murder of Chas.
 Holmes Begun at Fredonia.

LaFayette October 26.-(Specia1.) )-The preliminary trial of T. L. Morris. 2. T. Morris and a negro named Ace Anderson. ci arge with the murder of Charles Holmes, was begun at Fredonia today be- fore Justice of the Peace Cofield. Messrs. J. F. Cumbee, W. M Dulin and Henry Pate, of Lafayette, were summoned as witnesses, and County Solicitor Armstead Brown was sent for to represent the state: The trial was adjourned late this after noon to meet here at the court house to- morrow at 9 o'clock.
 The circumstantial evidence against Tom Morris is growing stronger, and goes far toward a complete corroboration of the story of the negro lynched here Sunday to the effect that he was merely an ac- complice of Morris in the murder of Holmes. The two negroes were lodged in duced showing threats by Morris on the life of Holmes yho WIS sworn to testify against Morris before the United States court at Montgomery. Morris shoes fit exactly into one of the sets of tracks lead ing from where the crime was committed to where the body was concealed in the creek even to the half-soles on the shoes. The negro, John Anderson, said that his and Morris tracks would be found at their place of rendezvous, fig tree behind the house of Holmes. The evidence corrobo- rates this. Suspicion against Morris is gen. eral, and f he is innocent he certainly. seems caught in network of unfortunate circumstances.
 The cases against 2. T. Morris and Ace Anderson will probably be dismissed.

SENATOR TURPIE
Delivers Address at Terre Haute and es Scores the Administration.

rTarre, Hante,s Ind, October 26,--Senator a,tiTpie spoke in this city tonight at; the. court house to a large assemblage. He traced the origin of the late war and scored inc administration for its neglect of the soldiers. The speaker favored the govern ment of our possessions in the Philippines and Porto Rico in the same manner in which the District of Alaska Is governed. He bitterly attacked the administration for not having recognized the freedom and in dependence of the Cuban people before commencing war in their behalf and hinted that it was owing to the holdings of the bonds. The free and unlimited coinage of silver was advocated strongly and peace and proseprity was promised when such a currency was adopted. -
 Mr. Turpie showed that the possessions wrested from Spain have been upon silver basis for four centuries and endeavored to prove that unless the same monetary basis was adopted by this country commerce would be next to impossible.

SPANISH COMMISSIONERS
Would Resign if the Ministerial Crisis
 in Madrid Materializes.

London, October 26.-The Madrid corre- spondent of the Standard, telegraphing Tuesday by way of the frontier, and deal- ing with threatened cabinet disasters, re- ports the impossibility of change of gov- ernment, because a change would almost certainly cause the resignation of the SpaA- ish commissioners in Paris. He says:
 'Senor Segasta therefore will remain at the helm until the treaty is signed un- less General Weyler or the military ele- ments cause trouble.
 'Senor Montero Rios now offers no hope of obtaining anything from America for the Cuban debt. He says that Spain must assent to the American views in this mat ter before the conference can proceed to settle the Cuban and Philippine question:"

TESLA'S SCHEMES.
Describes a Possibility in Electric Pow
 CT Transmission. s
naining

New York, October 26.-Nikola Tesla, the electrician, describes in today's issue of the Electrical Review a possibility in electric power transmission. His inventions Tor transmitting electricity over long distances have been successfully applied at many natural sources of power. Probably the most important of these plants in the United States is at Niagara Falls, costing over se, 900, ,OOO to install, which supplies eiec- tricity to many large factories and supplies electric power for running the trolley lines of the city of Buffalo, twenty-six miles distant.
 The announcement is now made that by employing apparatus which he has invented capable of generating electrical pressures vastly in excess of any heretofore used, located at natural sources of power, the current can be conducted to terminal maintained at an elevation where the rarl= fled atmosphere is capable of conducting freely the particular current produced; then at a distant point where the energy IS to be used commercially to maintain second terminal at about the same elevation to at tach and to receive the current and to con- vey it by special means to points for trans forming and utilizing it.
 With the article an illumination Is pre- scented, showing streams of electricity is suing from a single terminal, giving an estimated electrical pressure of two and half million volts.
 The Electrical Review comments on MT. 1eslas novel and startling iHsas as fol- lows:
 Tesla now proposes to transmit without the use of any wires through the natural medium-.the earth and the air-great amounts of power to distances of thous- ands of miles. This will appear dream a tale from the Arabian Nights. But the extraordinary discoveries Tesla has made during number of years of incessant la. bor, which authoritatively described ill our present issue, make. it evident that his work in this field has passed a stage of laboratory experiemnt and is ready for a practical test on an industrial scale. s1r
 '"The success of his efforts means that power from such sources as Niagara will become available in any part of the world regardless of distance"

while the tax burdens of others propor- tionately increased. He knew of no reason why the companies owning franchises should not contribute their share to the support of the schools and other city ex- penses.
 Secretary D. L. Fulton, of Allegheny, submitted his annual report and that of John L. Kennedy, treasurer, Nashville, was read in his absence.
 Kennith Allen, of the sewerage commits sion, at the afternoon session read paper on the sewerage of Baltimore, and the new system which it was proposed to con- struct in that city. Baltimore had suffered from lack of sewerage facilities, he said, and the introduction of the new system would prove beneficial and lower the death rate. Hss==t
 Dr. McComb, superintendent of sewers of Washington, told of the proposed sewerage disposal system for this city.

MONSIGNOR CONATY
Speaks Before the Catholic Young Peo-
 pies Union at Washington. ---v-

Washington, October 26.-At the session of the Catholic Young Mems Union today Monsignor Conaty, the rector of the Catho- lie university, spoke of the work and scope of the institution, of its popular features and its prospects for greater work in the future than in the past. It was a universi- ty, he said, where priests and laymen united as in no other place to teach the doctrines Of the church and the sciences under the. inspiratibh of God. Z a
 Mgr. Stephan, head of the Indian Bureau of the Catholic church, spoke interestingly of his work among the Red men of the. west, pointing out the work the layHIyn- can do in this connection. The Indfans' wage war, he declared, and he gave them, credit for doing so, for they $ had been cheated of their rights from first toe last. He urged the young men to keep up their good work for the church, and become heroes of Christianity x
 Resolutions were adopted expressing a renewal of fealty to the mother church, and congratulating the president and peo- pie of the United States upon the termina- tion of the war with Spain, honoring and respecting those who fought so valiantly / and mourning the loss of those brave pa triots who gave up their lives for the country.
 The following officers were elected:
 President-Rev. William T. McGurt, of Brooklyn.
 Secretary and Treasurer-E. P. Galla- gher, of Philadelphia.

 ----------~--------~--~~-~- new counter mefn0randum declaring their readiness, provisionally, to accept an ar ticle of a preliminary treaty stipulating that Spain shall relnquish all rights to sovereignty in Cuba without formulating any other claim and to leave in suspense all remaining questions, especially the Philippines. s@
 ''The Americans asked until tomorrow to reply to this new memorandum. This is regarded as a favorable sign, being slight relaxation of the rigidity the Americans have hitherto shown. They are perhaps aware that the Cuban and even the Span- ish bondholders are becoming alarmed at the strange turn of the financial side of the discussion in which Spain, the United States and Cuba with extraordinary unani- mity and carelessness all repudiate the Cuban debt. at1
 Nobody will be able to force Spain 10 accept the debt, for apart from bankruptcy she could only meet the liabilities at the expense of her foreign bondholders, who, by strange anomaly, thus would have to pay for the independence of Cuba. It Is not likely that the United States or any other power can or will force Spain to ruin herself by meeting the Cuban debta and then it will be a total loss for Europe or be paid by the Spanish bondholders. 3
 "If in these circumstances an agreement cannot be effected, America will indeed be wise to refer the question to the arbitration of impartial men, entirely disinterested in this delicate natter" v,
