Third Corps Ordered TO HuntsvilIe,
AIa.-15Sth Indiana Preparing to
Leave for Knoxville.

On replies received to kilograms sent by
Governor Mount yesterday to the colonels
of three of the Indiana regina snts and to
the Twenty-eghth Battery, will depend
whether or not the Governor will ask the
secretary of war to muster out these Indi-
ana volunteer soldiers at once. The tele-
grams asked if it were the desire of the
regiments that the request be made to the
War Department that they be mustered out
of the service without delay. AS two of
the regiments are on the march to new
camps. replies to the kilograms are not
expected until sometime to-day. No tele-
gram was sent to Colonel DuTbin, of the
ne-hundred-and-s&ty- Regiment, be-
cause it is understood that it will be part
of the Seventh Army Corps, under General
Lee, in the expedition to Cuba in October
The Governor was prompted to this action
by the fact that he has been besieged with
petitions to make this request of the War
Department Every member of Company c,
e-hundred-and-sixtieth Regiment, and
also all the members of the band of the
same regiment, signed petitions asking the
Governor to request the War Department
to allow them to return home Immediately.
The relatives of the men in the One-hun-
d-and-fifty-seventh Regiment which was
drawn from the northern part of the State,
have been especially insistent that the Gov
ernor request the War Department to let

has felt that he should not make this re-
quest until he knows that the regiments are
backing him up. hence the teiegrarns of yes

OVER 1900 CHINESE SLAIN.
Details of the Uprising at WuchOw-
An Americans Troubles.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 22-News has
just reached here from the Orient that early
in July there was battle between the reb-
els at Wuchow and the imperial Chinese
troops, in which the former were victorious.
Over 1900 of the troops were slain and their
bodies thrown into the river The Dosing,
Under Captain Tholeman, was engaged to
take about LOCO Chinese troops to the scene
of the rebel lines. From the time the Dos
ing left Canton until she reached Wuchow,
sc me two hundred miles up the river, Capt
Tholeman had trouble with his crew, the
Chinese sympathizing with the rebels One,
a comprador, began melting them to mutiny,
and the captain alleges that in self-defense
he was compelled to shoot the man. The
comprador died from his wound the next
day. Captain Tholeman was placed under
arrest, and, as soon as an opportunity was
afforded, was sent to Canton. In his Jour-
ney he was confined in an iron cage and on
arrival was placed in the British Jail On
account of the claim of American citizen
ship made by Tholeman there is bitter
feeling against all Americans in that dis
trict and further trouble is feared

pose. The water at Camp Meade has been
pronounced by Surgeon General Sternberg
to be originally pure More wells have
been sunk in camp and the supply will be
sufficient for the entire Second Army Corps,
comprising 10000 men.
A trainoad of troops arrived in camp this
evening from Thoroughfare Gap and was
followed an hour later by another load The
trains carried the first and second battal-
ions of the Third Missouri.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Tn view of the
early meeting at Paris of the Spanish
American peace commissioners arrange

tainment of this distinguished body. T. is
understood that the commission will he the
guests of the French government and while
no formal invitation has yet been extended
there is reason to believe one will come in
due time and that the commissioners will
receive every courtesy and attention which
the French government can bestow The
meetings of the commission will be held at
the French Foreign Office, in the sumptlous
and historic -Sal lon Dc Ambassadors. 1t was
there that the famous congress of I'1rs met

CANT official apartment in all Europe. Being

with lavish frescoes and works of art Near
the salon are private chambers, sui able !or

commissioners of the respective govern

fatigued. He did not wear his uniform. be-

he would remain he answered: mo longer

After leaving the President he stopped
just long enough to crafty several auto

hotel, where acting Secretary Allen left
him. The latter announced positively that
the admiral would retain his command of

SAMPSON AT WASHINGTON,
The Admiral Has a Conference with
President Mckinley.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22-Admiral Samp-
son called on President Mckinley to-day
and spent thirty-five minutes with him in
discussion Of the Cuban commissions plans
and other matters. He reached here on the
train from New York at 1888 o'clock this
afternoon and drove Immediately to the
Navy Department. There he spent some
minutes exchanging courtesies with the
naval officials, and then acting Secretary cf
the Navy Allen drove with him to the
White House, the two joining the President
at a quarter past o'clock.
The President shook the admirars hand
very cordially and inquired about his ex-
perience in commanding the fleet in the
Cuban waters. Admiral Sampson referred
briefly to number of the important Incl
dents in the war and, in response to an in
quiry from the President, expressed his
qualification at the achievement of July g.
when Admiral Cerveras fleet was ami
hilated. The details of the great battle were
gone over quite thoroughly. The President.
at the outset, took occasion to express his
thanks to the admiral for the success of the
battle and showed deep interest in the story
of the engagement as told by him. The talk
also bore on the reasons for not entering
the harbor at Santiago and the placing of
the mines and torpedoes in Cuban ports.
The PLANK of the commission to arrange
for the evacuation of Cuba were talked
over and the President was asked as to
whether formal instructions would be given
the commission. Mr.. Mckinley told the ad-
miral that written instructions would be
given the commission in a few days. The
talk along this line was of a general ma
ture and laid down no strict line of policy
During the call Secretary Alger came over
from the War Department to consult the
President regarding the disposition of troops
and. finding Admiral Sampson there, greeted
him and joined in the discussion.
Both Rear Admirals Sampson and Schley
had been invited here by the President to
confer on the plans Of the commission, but
Admiral Schley did not arrive this after

MILITARY COMMISSIONERS.
Spaniards Selected to Consider Cuban
and Porto Rican Affairs.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 22-The State De-
partment received call to-day from Sec
retary Thiebaut, of the French embassy
and in charge during the absence of AM
bassador Cambon. who presented note
which bore notification from the Spanish
government of the appointment of the mill
tary commissioners for Cuba and Porto
Rico. Under the peace protocol the govern
ment was to name its military commits
sioners within ten days, and their meeting
to be held within thirty days. The ten days
was up to-day, and, accordingly, Spain gave
the official notice of the appointments. They
are as follows:
For Cuba-Major General Gonzales Par
rado. Rear Admiral Pastor y Landero,
For Porto Rico--Major General Ortega v
Diaz, commodore of the first rank; VAL
larino y Carrasco. judge advocate; Sanchez
del Aguila Leon.
The foregoing official list differs from
some of the lists given in previous dis
patches, which have included Admiral
Montojo. General Blanco. General Macias.
and several other prominent Spanish Off
GERS. Considerable significance attaches to
the naming of Marquis Montoro on the
Cuban commission, as it indicates a pur
pose, on the part of Spain, to go into the
future government of Cuba. He is the only
commissioners, Spanish or American, taken
from civil life. He is secretary of the treas
ury Of the Cuban autonomous cabinet, and
all his interests are connected with the gov
ernment of Cuba rather than with the mill
tary question of the Spanish evacuation of
Cuba. He is named, it is believed, in order
to carry out Spain's desire to have an un-
derstanding as to the future government Of
the island, he being intimately familiar with
the civil administration of Cuba. AS secre-
tary of the Cuban treasury, he is also very
familiar with questions affecting the Cuban

The Hawaiian band played Hawaii
Ponoi," the national anthem. Colonel Fish
er gave the order to the National Guard
battery, stationed on the executive grounds,
In command of Lieutenant Ludwig, to fire
the national salute of twenty-one guns,
which was also repeated by the Philadel-
pnla. AS the echo of the last gun reverbe-
rated In the hills, buge sounded and the
national ensign of Hawaii came slowly
down nntil it reached the ground, never to
go up again.
There was a short pause and then the ad-
nnral nodded slightly to Lieutenant Winter
natter, who gave the order, "Colors, roll
on. The fiagships band struck up the
weA-known strains of '"The Star-spangled
banner" and as the stars and stripes
SLOWLY ascended there was breathless sus-
pense. But as it reached the top cheers
broke forth from the crowds below and sa-

by the Hawaiian battery and the Philadel-
pnla. A few minutes after the hosting of
the official flag others were raised from the

Minister Sewall then read proclamation
stating that President Mckinley directs
that the civil, judicial and military powers
or the government shall continue to be ex-
ercised by the officers of the republic of Ha-
wall. All such officers will be required to
take an oath of allegiance to the United
states and renew their bonds to the United
States government The powers of the min
lister OF foreign affairs will cease, so far as
they relate 10 diplomatic intercourse be-
tween Hawaii and foreign nations. The
municipal legislation of Hawaii and the ex-
listing customs regulations will practically
remain in force until the Congress of the
United States shall otherwise determine.
Following the reading of the proclama-
ton, Minister Sewall made an address con-
graduating the residents of Hawaii upon
the accomplishment of annexation.
AT the conclusion of the ceremonies the
National Guard was marched to the parade
grounds, where Minister Cooper adminis-
tered the oath of allegiance to Colonel Fish
er. The colonel then administered it to his
oh1cers and the captains to the men The
regiment then escorted the naval battalions
to their boats and returned to the drill shed
to sign the rolls.
A ball at the executive building, at which
two thousand guests were present, was the
elimination of the festivities which followed
the ceremony of the fag-raising.

ATBARA, Aug. 22-The transport column
of the Soudan expedition, which left Camp
Atbara on Aug. 16. marching along the left
bank of the Nile to an advanced post at
Nasri island, arrived at Metemmeh on Sun
day last. The column traversed the for
merly prosperous and thickly-populated

and sun-dried bodies of the tribes massacred
by the Dervishes last year. Everywhere are
evidences of misery and decay The skill
fully-built Dervish huts are deserted and
crumbling. Meteinmeh itself, a town of
5000 houses, is now a city of desolation, its
houses in ruins, its alleys blocked with
skeletons and its courtyards putrid with
corpses. The few natives seen are disposed
to be friendly. The Second Brigade passed

not unlikely that khartoum will be cap
tured by the middle of September. The heat
is trying, but the expedition is in good con-
dition.
Shabuka, which was evacuated by the
Dervishes a fortnight ago, is a magnificent
position, the river being narrow with a
well-built fort on each side. Practically
the whole force is now encamped at Wad-

TO BE ABANDONED.
All the Troops at Camp Thomas Or
dered to Other Points.

CHICKAMAUGA PARK, Aug. p. - Late
this afternoon Maj Gen. Breckenridge re-
ceived instructions from the War Depart
ment to send the Third Corps to Huntsville,
Ala, as speedily as practicable. This corps
will report to General ~oppinger and will go
into camp at Huntsville. This order dis
poses of all the troops al Camp Thomas and
will result in sending away for the present
all troops now encamped here. The pur-
pose appears to be twofold-that of graft
flying the troops by a change of scenes and
that of giving the great camp ground at
Chickamauga a chance to rest, after four
months OF constant use by from 10000 to
$4,000 soldiers. General Breckenridge will at
once send an officer to Huntsville to con-
suit with General Coppinger about arrang
ing the details of the camp. The regiments
of the Third Corps will perhaps begin leav-
ing this camp next week. and will go out as
rapidly as transportation can he provided.
Only two regiments left the camp to-day.
They were the Twelfth Minnesota and the
Fifth Pennsylvania being the First Bri
gade of the Third Division, under Brigadier
General Wiley. They marched to Rossville
early this morning and were loading there
during the day. but for want of sufficient
cars at hand they were delayed and did not
get their baggage and equipage loaded un-
til late tonight
The Second Brigade of the Third Division,
consisting of the Twenty-first Kansas,
Eighth Massachusetts and Twelfth New
York, commanded by Brigadier General
Waties, and the Second Brigade of the Sec
ond Division, same corps, consisting of the
One hundred and-fifty y-eighth Indiana. Sixth

General McKee's brigade, will be the next
to leave, the former going to Lexington and

gia was delayed in loading and did not leave
for Knoxville until this morning. The First
