WASHINGTON, Sept. "a. - Acting
Secretary Allen of the Navy Depart

Admiral Watson to-day giving brief
account of the engagement at Subig

but poorly aimed; enemy loss unknown.
A report mailed.
The important feature OF the engage
ment Is the fact which is disclosed that
the insurgents have been able to obtain
a Krupp gun. 1t was known at the
time of the outbreak of the insurgents
against the Americans that the artil-
lery of the insurgents consisted of a
few obsolete guns captured from the
Spaniards.
Acting Secretary Allen says it is evil
dent that the navy at Manila does not
intend to allow any fort to be erected
by the insurgents which can be reached
by the ships, and he is convinced that
the squadron under Rear Admiral Wat
son will be able to Keep the shores
guarded and repeat the lesson Of yes
terday if the insurgents are found to
be operating on the coast.

from General Otis the following list Of

Supplied.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-All the gen.
eral arrangements for the reception of
Admiral Dewey are now completed,
and only a few minor details are left
to be settled. The majority of these
miral has arrived and his wishes have
been consulted
All the subcommittee have about
finished their work and have presented
their reports to the general committee.
The committee on distribution Of tick
cts was at work in the Mayors office all
day and until late into the night. They
apportioned nearly 10000 tickets, all
there were at their disposal. There
were applications for more than 100,0
Their work did not include the distribu-
tion of tickets to the Municipal As
sembly and the school children's
stands. These tickets will be at the
disposal of the municipal legislators
and the president of the board of edu-
cation
The committee on stands will hold
its final meeting tomorrow and decide
exactly what will be the capacity Of
the new stands. If the committee
stands for all the expenditures it has
authorized 1t will have spent more than
S45, 900 in excess of the first appropria-
tion made to it of 100000, and $4,000
more than it has in sight even if the
Municipal Assembly votes to give it
the additional $25 900 that is to be asked
for at Tuesdays meeting of the Alder
men and Council.
For the seventy-odd thousand ex-
pended the committee has furnished
about 10000 seats to the ticket commit
tee-4000 of the City Hall stands, 5000
for the school children, 10000 for the
municipal Assembly-and 25,000 for the
veterans of the Grand Army Of the Re
public-a total of about $4,000 seats, for
about $4,000.
Work on the big Dewey triumphal
arch is rapidly being pushed, and the
arch will be in proper condition in
plenty of time To-day while some
workmen were raising the figure of a
sailor to the top of a pedestal Broad
way car ran against one of the guy
ropes of the derrick, and derrick, statue
and Workmen fell over on top of the
car. There was slight panic among
the thousands of people watching the
structure from the sidewalks, but the
police finally restored order. No one
was hurt, and the figure of the sailor
was but slightly damaged.
Governor Deforest Richards of Wy
oming has telegraphed asking leave to
withdraw his previous refusal to par
ticipate in the celebration. The reply
was sent that New York would be
pleased to welcome him.
Concerning the committee of seven
that is to attend Admiral Dewey during
his stay in this city Mr.. Foster said he
had received a reply in writing from
Chauncey NJ. Depew and in person from
Richard Croker and William McAdoo.
Mr.. Croker said the committee could
make any use of him they desired, and
that he was ready to do anything in
his power to help along the success of
the celebration. With the exception
of Levi P. Morton and w. c. Whitney,
all the members of the committee have
accepted. Neither Of the last two has
been heard from.

Secretary Root Sug-

Running Mate.
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, YELLING
TON HOTEL. WASHINGTON, Sept "a
Vice President Hobart's poor health, it is
now generally believed, will make 1t i'm
possible for him to accept the renomna-
ton next year.
The President and Republican leaders
generally favor his nomination for the
second place on the ticket If he believes
he is well enough to accept a second time
Recent reports, however, give little
ground for. the hope that he will be able
to do So In that event it is believed the
nomination will go to New York. In view
of Governor Roosevelt's determination
not 20 accept 1t, Secretary of War Root
will probably be named.
The success in the Philippines, which is
expected this winter, will bring Secretary
Roots administration of the War Depart
ment into notice and will make him a
strong candidate. If the campaign should
be such, however, as not to reflect credit
on the War Department, some one else
will have to be obtained.
President Mckinley may go into the
campaign for reelection not only with a
new candidate on the ticket with him
but with a new manager of the campaign
1t is well known that Senator Hanna is
not in good health. 1t is said by one of
his close political friends in Ohio that he
does not intend to undertake the manage
ment of another Presidential campaign
He will not resign from the chairman
ship of the committee. He will continue
IN that effice until the convention next
year. The committee will then be re-
organized, as 1t Is every four years, and
Senator Hanna will ask that some one
else be put in charge of the campaign as
chairman. 1t is too early now to predict
who will be selected as the choice will be
made by the new committee, which will
be elected by the convention.

INDIAN
MURDERER IS
SURROUNDED
Officers Hot on the Trail of
Joe Pete, Who Killed
Willie Danberg.

or Submit to Arrest.
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

ANGELS CAMP, Sept. 24-Joe Pete,
the Washoe Indian who shot and killed
Willie Danberg at Gardnerville, New,
on the Sth inst, will probably be cap
tured within a few days. After COM
mitting the atrocious deed he made his
escape to the vicinity of Gardeners,
where he had relatives. Since that time
he has been seen. and has probab bly,
been kept supplied with provisions by
his own people. Had it not been that a
party from Nevada came over to Gard
nerS and heralded their mission in the
camp of the Indians relatives he would
have probably now been in the hands
of the law.
Last Thursday Mrs. Sapp was driv-
ing cattle, when an Indian was seen to
cross the road and disappear in the
brush, but not until she had recognized
him as Pete. He was also seen at a
cattle camp later. He is now definitely
located, and lives within a radius of
seven miles. When the officers first
made their appearance among the
Washoes at Gardners two sisters of
Joe Pete commenced to cry and lament
the fact that the outlaw would be
taken.
The officers from this place have now
determined upon plan by which the
murderer can be taken at the proper
time. The members of the tribe who
have spent the summer around Gard
ners are now being taken to the upper
mountains, where they came from, and
where Pete cannot go without being
taken. This will leave him to shift
for himself, and as soon as the cold
weather comes will drive him to some
camp for provisions. He is completely
surrounded, and cannot get out of the

with frequent music by a local quar-
tet, was lengthy. The services closed
with the singing of the Russian ma

finger and the silver one on the
groom's, these rings being given in
token of the lifelong union into which
they were entering
The exchange by the sponsor in

rite closed by the prayer that the
Lord may establish these espousals in
the faith, in harmony, truth and love,
and may bless from heaven the putting
on of rings.
Next came the rite of a marriage

lecturn, still holding the lighted can

HIGHLANDERS WILL NOT
BE IN THE PROCESSION

TORONTO. Ont, Sept PA special
from Ottawa to the Mail and Empire
says:
The Forty-eighth Highlanders of
Toronto will not be granted permission to
visit New York to take part in the recep-
tion to Admiral Dewey The Militia De-
partment has not received the commune
cation from the district commanding Of
ficer at Toronto embodying the request of
Lieutenant Colonel Crosby and his Of
ficers for permission 10 make the trip,
but when it comes, an answer in the
negative will be returned.
The view held here is that Admiral
Dewey is to be the central figure in the
New York celebration, yet, after all. the
demonstration really will be a glorifica-
ton of the United States victories in the
Spanish war. Under the circumstances
therefore, it is considered very impolitic
for British regiment to participate. The
pipe band of the Royal Scots of Montreal
has also been refused permission to take
part in the proposed demonstration.
