TROUBLE IN MILES, ARMY.
The Resignation of the Officers of the
 Sixth Mnssn snchuaeffs.

SAAth NnbSaChNBeItS.
 Washington, Aug. 5.--A message was received at the war department to-day from General Miles himself, touching the trouble in the Sixth Massachusetts regiment, which was the subject of off, cial inquiry by Secretary Alger yester- day. Details of the telegram are not obtainable, but it is apparent that Gen. eral 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 sub- init to an examination which was pre- scribed by the brigade officers the proper authority, and upon the insist ance of the latter they sought to resign their commissions. General Miles him. self is dealing with the case and if he should decide to allow these officers to resign or discharge them from the ser vice of the United States and the latter is possible, the governor of Massachu- setts will be called upon to appoint their successors. It can be said that up to this time the officials are thoroughly satisfied with General Miles conduct of the Porto Rican campaign and they do not hesitate 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 of the department for the conduct of the campaign.

THE LATE FRINGE BISM4RCK. The Whereabouts of the Deceasesl,s
 Memoirs Kept Secret.

Berlin Aug. 5-Lord Salisbury's tele- gram of condolence, describing the splendid genius of Prince Bismarck. gives great satisfaction. Emperor Will liam announces that he will present a valuable picture of Bismarck to the warship Furst Bismarck, now in prog ress of construction at Kiel Herr Haydon, editor of the Zukunft, which publishes the following, was one of Bismarck's most intimate friends: ''Dr. Schweninger last October knew that the prince was doomed, but kept the secret until the end. It was in accord ance with Prince Bismarck's own wish that the letter of resignation was pub lished six hours after his death."
 Eighteen hundred telegrams have ar rived at Friedrichsruhe and 2,1SO have. been dispatched since the death. The whereabouts of the memoirs is still kept secret, but it is asserted that they gre in the hands of Gotta at Stuttgart. Despite denials it is unlikely that they will be published before December, as they are not yet printed and must be copyrighted in America and abroad for simultaneous publication. It is believ- ed that the memoirs will furnish a key to the diplomatic history of the last forty years.

ment until Monday. There is the same confident belief among officials that there has been from the first that Spain's answer would be reluctant, but not the less conclusive, acceptance, At the same time it was suggested to-day in some quarters that there was pos sibility that the disclosures made by the American government at Santiago concerning the serious condition of the troops might be a straw at which the Spanish cabinet would grasp. This is quite doubtful, however, as there is question whether the statement of the American general ever got outside the borders of the United States owing to the strict censorship imposed last night
 Moreover all the evidence reaching the officials here indicates that Spain is weary of the conflict and is convinced
 beyond the slightest question of the hopelessness of further opposition.

DEATH OF ". IT. ARFM4NN.
Occurred Early Last Evening After q
 Short Illness.

Wm. H. Arfmann, proprietor of the Arfmann house on Temple street, and one of the best known and most popu- lar German residents of the city died Temple street, after an illness of about one week. It will be remembered that MT. Arfmann was taken ill last Friday
 week, with a complaint which soon developed into appendicitis. About 10 o'clock on the evening of Friday, July 29, he complained of pain in the abdomen and so severe had it become
 about 9 o'clock Saturday morning that
 Dr. Bellosa was called. He diagnosed
 the case as appendicitis and Saturday
 noon a consultation of physicians was held. An operation was performed Saturday night by Dr. Carmalt, assist ed by Drs. Bellosa, Klenke and Bacon. MT. Arfman rallied from the effects of the operation and was apparently getting along finely up to Thursday forenoon when he began to grow worse
 and failed rapidly from that time on. He became unconscious shortly before
 noon yesterday and remained so up to the time of his death. He died very
 peacefully, passing away without any | pain.
 The deceased was born in Hanover,
 Germany, September 10, 1856. He came | to America in 1871 and remained in New York for some years, being married l there November 25, 1879. In 1881 he | came to New Haven and went to work | for Berkelee & Curtis at their place of business on Church street, where he | worked with Otto Wall. He went to l the South End house for one year, and | in 1883 worked for A. c. Traeger at the l latters place on Center street. He re- mained with MT. Traeger until 1888, when he bought out w. H. Brown S l place on Church street, which he had since conducted.
 l In 1894 MT. Arfman began to think
 about opening in New Haven a cafe
 similar to those so popular in Germany
 and in that year went to Germany with | his wife in order to look over German l pldCeS dlleT WHICH to IllOu6l HIS care,
 which he intended to start here On
 his return to this country he purchased
 the Thill property on Temple street and l fitted it up after the pattern of the | German cafes which he had visited and ] opened the place in March last and did
 a successful business there up to the l present time.
 His death comes as a very great sur- prise to his very large circle of friends, who had heard favorable reports as to
 his condition, and were looking for his speedy recovery. He had never before l in his life suffered from any serious l illness and took good care of himself,
 being very regular in his habits. | He leaves no near relatives except his
 wife and sister, Mrs. George Oelrichs
 of this city. He leaves an uncle in 1 Germany. He belonged to Connecticut
 Rock lodge, F. and A. M., and to Steu-
 ben lodge, Knights of Honor. The fun-
 eral will be held Monday but the time
 has not yet been decided upon.

PASSING FIR RATE VAR DECLARED
It Will Influence Directly Every Road i'm the West.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-A passenger rate war that will influence directly every road in the west and indirectly half of the tariffs of the eastern and southern lines has been declared. Next Monday the rate between Chicago, Minneapolis and St. Paul will be $S. The tariff is now $11.5O. On the same day and there after until peace is declared the rate between Chicago and Omaha will be 1925. The nominal rate is $12.75. Tick cts may now be purchased between Chicago and Kansas City for $1O5O The nominal rate is $12.50. IL is ex- pected that the rate will go down to 1925 within a few days.
 The Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul took the initiative in the fight. Other lines have declared their intention of following it's lead. Blame for the ne cessity for these reductions is placed by the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul upon the Canadian Pacific. That line the Milwaukee and St. Paul de- clares brought about war of rates to Alaska points. The application of these low rates-about 60 per cent below au- thorized tariffs-affected the Chicago. Milwaukee and St. Paul situation to such an extent that brokers have had no difficulty in selling tickets for eith er St. Paul or Minenapolis for SS and $S. 50 The same rates have been made by the brokers for weeks from St. Paul to Chicago.

THE GRAND CIRCUIT RACES.
The Abbott Sells at $10O to $25 and
 Loses-Grace Hasttngs, Failure.

Columbus, O., Aug. 5.-This was a day of great racing at the Columbus Driv ing park, though no records were brok en. It was bad day for favorites. The track was in fine condition, and there was a large attendance. In the 2:12 trot The Abbott was thought to be sure winner and sold in the pools at $100 to $25 for the field. In the first heat The Abbott got bad start and Geers only drove him to avoid the dis tance flag Eagle Flanagan taking the heat after hot brush with Octavia and Cresceus.
 In the second heat The Abbott and Eagle Flanagan came down the stretch like @ whirlwind Eagle Flanagan un- der the lash, but The Abbott won by neck, the fastest heat trotted this season, 2:08A. In the third heat The Abbott broke just after the start, but soon caught up with the bunch, push ing the Eagle in the stretch so hard that the latter was forced into a break and had to take second place. The Ab- bolt broke again just after the start in the fourth heat, but caught up with the leaders, Eagle and Cresceus, and was making grand spurt on the stretch, when he broke again, dropping back into last place. the Eagle winning. In the fifth heat The Abbott broke again, and Eagle Flanagan won the heat and race.
 In the 2:16 pace Jessie c. was favor ite, but after taking the first heat she was not in the race, Egoson, a rank outsider, winning easily. The only fa- vorite to win was Lady of the Manor in the 2:19 pace. She barely escaped the distance flag in the first heat. An gelina was favorite in the 2:27 trot, but was the last horse under the wire in every heat except one. Percy won in straight heats and was never in dan ger.
 Hubinger drove Grace Hastings to beat her record of 2:091a made to a wagon on the Cleveland track last week, but the best she could do was 2:11A, although the last half was made in 1:0314 Curry drove Kentucky Union to a wagon in PIP. Her record is 2:1O%.

ARMS IND AMMUNIIION LANDED.
The Steamship Wanderers Successful
 EXpeditiOm to Cuba.

Key West, Aug '5.-The steamship Wanderer returned here this afternoon after effecting a successful landing of arms and ammunitions at three differ ent points on the Cuban coast. She left here in July with about forty Cu- bans anxious to join their fighting com- patriots. On July 23 she attempted to discharge 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 hull with Mauser bullets, killed three Cuban scouts who were in wait ing to receive the expedition and wounded six of the Wanderers crew.
 The steamer then came back to Key West, left her injured men in the hos pital and started on her second at tempt. This time she went to a point about six miles east of Bahia Honda, where she met small party of insur- gents from Colonel Carillos' forces, but no Spaniards. About one-third of her cargo was discharged here and twenty five Cubans were put ashore.
 IHe Wdluefer then neaueu TOT lile mouth of the Manati river, province of Puerto Principe, where, on the night of July 30, she landed without difficulty about the same quantity of arms, ammunition and seven Cubans. From there she went to Porto Padre, in the same province, where the re- mainder of her cargo and men were dis embarked All three landings were made without the necessity of firing a shot.
 The torpedo boat Talbot returned here this afternoon. On Monday last,
 under a flag of truce, she steamed to within a mile and a half of Morro Cas- tie, where the Spanish torpedo boat de- stroyer Pinson came out and received her papers.

CONTRA CTS FOR REMEMBRANCE.
Commissioner of Internal Revenue Renders Decision Regarding Them.


 Renders Decision Regarding Them.
 Washington, Aug. 1.-The commits sioner of internal revenue has rendered a decision in which he holds that con- tracts of reinsurance with certain stated exceptions, are not subject to the stamp tax. Reinsurance is un- insurance company of some portion of a risk which has been taken in full by another company and policy duly is- sued therefor. This is not done by the issuance of another policy but by an entry made by the insurance company in a remitter belonging to the re-insur- ing company The effect is the same as if each company originally had issued a policy for the portion of the total risks which it assumes and the total tax paid wold be the same as is paid by the one company assuming the en- tire risk. The exception is that if the risk should become extra hazardous and the reinsurance should be obtain ed only upon the payment of an extra premium CnlS eAtEd plClIlulll IS LdAdDl6 and the stamp covering it may be af- fixed to the page in the register oppo- site the entry. In the case of receipts for rent and where there are no other recitals no stamp is required. But if the receipt contains any phrase or clause, that can be construed as a con- tract for the hire, use or rent, then in such cases the receipt is held to become something more than bare receipt and should be stamped according to the tenor or effect.
