WANDERER BACK,
After Landing a Cargo of Arms and
Ammunition for the Cuban Army.

Key West, Fla, August 5.-The
steamship Wanderer returned here to-
day after effecting a successful land
ing of arms and ammunition at three
different points on the Cuban coast.
She left here early in July with
about forty Cubans, anxious to join
their fighting compatriots, and eleven
members Of the Third United States
cavalry, to protect the landing of
about two thousand rifles and car
bines, with nearly a million cart
ridges.
On July 23 she attempted to dis
charge her cargo at Bahia Honda,
province Of Pinar del Rio, but was
fought off by force Of several hun
dred Spaniards, who peppered the
Ships hallL with Mauser bullets, killed
three Cuban scouts who were waiting
to receive the expedition, and wound
ed six of the Wanderers crew. The
steamer then came back to Key West.

about six miles east of Bahia Honda,
where she met a small party of in
surgents from Col. Garillo's forces.
but no Spaniards. About one-third of
her cargo was discharged here, and
twenty-five Cubans were put ashore.
The Wanderer than headed for the
mouth of the Manati river, province of
Puerto Principe. where the night of
July 20 she landed without difficulty about
the same quantity of arms and munitions
and seven Cubans. From there she went
to Puerto Parde, in the same province.
where the remainder of her cargo and
men were disembarked. All three land
ings were made without the necessity of
firing a shot.
The torpedo boat Talbot returned here
to-day. On Monday last under flag of
truce she steamed to within a mile and a
half of Moro Castle, where the Spanish
torpedo boat destroyer Pinzon came out
and received her papers.

CUSTOMS RATES
For Cubl and Porto Rico Will Be the
Same as the Ineernal Revenue Rates
in tn, United States.

Washington, August 5.-At this mo-
ment peace negotiations are in a
state CT asquiescence. This state
ment was made by member of the
cabinet at the close Of to-days meet
ing. Nothing has been heard from
Madrid directly or through n. Cam
bon since yesterday, and at the session
of the cabinet to-day the matter was
not mentioned, except incidentally,
the session being taken up with ad-
ministrative details The Cuban GUS
tens tariff was discussed at some
length, particularly the tobacco sched-
ule, and it was agreed that the pres
ent rates of internal revenue taxation
now In force in the United States
should be made the customs rates fer
Cuba.
The question Of customs tariff for
Porto Rico was also discussed, and it
was the opinion Of the President and
the members CT the cabinet that as
soon as the island passes into the
possessio nof this country, the Gus
toms, laws and regulations now in
force in the United States shall be
made to apply to Porto Rico without
modification. This is the view now
entertained by the administration,
and without some unexpected change
occurs this scheme will be put into
operation.

GRAND SPECTACLE.
Tae Parade of the Knights Templar
Uvrvs-sa- Pittsburg Will Be
Without Precedent.

Pittsburgh, Pa, August 5.-The
grand parade Of Knights Tempiar
during the triennial conclave in Pitts
burgh. is to be the finest spectacle or
the kind ever seen in this country
Gen. ]. P. S. Goblin, grand marshal
has lust issued his general orders,
and the general programme OF the
parade and reception to Grand Master
Warren La Rue Thomas. In anticl-
patton of the early declaration OF
peace between Spain and the United
States this display of Templar pomp
and grandeur is to be turned into
glorious celebration of American VIC
tories. a congratulation to the army
and navy for the magnificent work ac-
complished, and an invocation Tor
the future success OF American arms.
With this idea in view, the parade,
for the first time in the history CT
Templarism in America, will be form
ed on military lines. Many OF the
commanders and staff officers in line
will be veterans of recent battles on
sea and land, some of them the most
notable figures in the war.
The parade will begin to move
promptly at a. m. and will be COM
pleted by p. m, on October II. The
route selected will not be over four
miles in length from start to finish.
General Gobin's general order pro-
vides in the most complete manner for
a compact and beautiful display.
There will be but one band of music
to each battalion, division or grand
commandery, thus obviating the diff
Guilty heretofore experienced in
marching by the presence in the line
of too much music.
In the evening a grand reception
by the grand communicates will be
given at the building of the Duquesne
Summer Garden to Most Eminent Sir
Warren La Rue Thomas, grand mas
ter of the grand encampment.
This function will be something new
in the history of conclaves, and is to
be confined strictly to knights Tenn
plar.

JUSTIFlBD
By Subsequent Events, is 6en. Miles's
Change Of War DepArtbant Plans.
Enforcing Disciplined

Washington, August IA message
was received at the war department to-
day from Gen Miles touching the
trouble in the Sixth Massa9hus etts reg
iment. which was the subject os official
inquiry by Secretary AlgerN yesterday.
Gen. Miles is determined to repress
sternly at the very beginning any de-
parture from military discipline, even
among the volunteer element in\ his
command. As near as can be GATHERED
the officers of the Sixth declined to
submit to an examination which Mas
prescribed by the brigade officers the
proper authority, and upon the insist-
ence of the latter they sought to ret
sign their commission. Gen. Miles himl
self is dealing with the case. and il heI
should decide to allow these officers
to resign or discharge them from the
service OF the United States, and the
latter is possible, the governor OF Mas
sachusetts will be called upon to ap-
point their successors.
It can be said that up to this time
the officials are thoroughly satisfied
with Gen. Miles conduct of the Porto
Rican campaign and they do not hest
tate to admit that the events that have
occurred since his landing at Guanica
fully justify the arbitrary change made
by him in the carefully laid plans CT
the department for the conduct OF the
campaign.
