Armstrong, Struck by nm Engine.
[From Saturdays Daily.]
Coxey, valuable horse owned by W.
B. Armstrong, agent for the Burlington
road in Ottumwa, was struck by No. 9
about $3.50 o'clock yesterday afternoon
and died In short time as result of
the injuries sustained. The accident
occurred at the foot of Green street.
The animal was valued at $3.50.
The horse was tied to hitching post
in front of the Burlington freight of
fee on South Jefferson street. A dray
loaded with barrels was passing, when
two or three of the barrels fell off.
Their rolling about on the pavement
frightened the horse, and he broke
from his fastenings and started west
up the tracks. Burlington train No. s
was just pulling in, over an hour late
and when the animal attempted to
cross the tracks on Green street, il
eollided with the engine, which cut 9
deep cash in its right shoulder and
otherwise bruised it. The horse was
taken into Grips Bros stables and 6
veterinary summoned, but he was un
able to help the animal, which died ir
few hours. The horse was fine
bred animal and had been raised by Mr.
Armstrong.

Topic Before Congre-
gational Club.
REV. Mr.. GOODSPEED
Forcibly Presents One Side
Of the Great Question.

Imperialism and ten-course dinner
divided the attention Of the members
of the Congregational Club last eve
ming. Expansion and digestion were
the two great issues confronting the as
sembly as they took their places around
the five great tables spread round AS
ISOLATION Hall. Manifest destiny
and gastronomy were for time the
sole subjects on which the gathering
Of divines and laymen conversed.
incidentally, James Logan was in
stalled as president, new set of Off
GERS throughout was elected and q
variety of routine business transacted.
But all that was by way of episode.
The main topics Of interest We're as
above stated.
The address of the evening was de-
1vered by Rev. Frank L. Goodspeed,
pastor of the First Church of Christ
Of Springfield, who spoke on The
higher Imperialism, dealing with the
question of expansion" Rev. Mr. Good
speed warned his hearers at the outset
that his address was not of the nature
that would be anticipated from a man
mailing from the home of the SPRING
HSiu hepuUncan, coming to address an
audience In the home of Senator Hoar.
Before he had uttered half dozen SEN
fences 1t was apparent that the speaker
was In favor of an expansive policy
nrst, last and all the time With a
wealth of imagery and an impas-
stoned eloquence, the speaker told how
great battles had altered the history
OF the world. how Manila was to be as
much turning point of history as
waterloo, and how the United States
became 1rreVocably committed to the
poncy or expansion with the first shot
or DeWey's guns. He then took up the
greater part of the arguments against
expansion with View to refuting
them, at the same time advancing new
reasons in favor of course of colon
ization. In conclusion, he spoke Of the
growing friendship between England
and America and minated that the
possession of the Philippines might be
the determining factor in settling the
ultimate fate of Asia
The subject throughout was consid-
cred from the higher, altruistic or
Christian standpoint. The retention Of
the islands was advocated not for self
ish or commercial purposes, but on high
moral grounds. The speaker was lis
tened to with rapt attention from first
TO last, and at many times his bursts
or oratory were received with warm
applause. But when esr Goodspeed
took his seat, the discussion which fol-
lowed showed that the greater part Of
the audience remained true to their
previous convictions and still agreed
with Senator Hoar

CUBAN TROOPS.
Gen. Sternberg Finds Their
Sanitary Condition Good.

Washington, Jan. 16.-Surgeon Gen
Washington from a visit of inspection
of the United States military camps
in Cuba. His purpose was to see that
every arrangement is made for the
protection of the health of our troops
garrsoning the island before the ex-
piration of the present dry season. He
summed up the results of his trip as
follows:
Il find the sanitary condition Of
troops now stationed in and near Ha-
vana, Matanzas and Pinar del Rio, to
be good at present. There is little Sc
r1ous sickness, but medical officers
generally apprehend there will be a
considerable increase IN amount of
sickness as the unhealthy season APP
proaches, and strenuous efforts are be-
ing made to prepare for a large num-
Der of sick in case the military situa-
ton makes it necessary to retain a
considerable body of troops in Cuba
during the summer. at Havana orders
have been given for the preparation
of the Spanish military hospital Alton
SO XII, which has IL capacity of 1000
BEDS also for an officers hospital at
the Vedado and for another hospital
for infectious diseases.
At Matanzas the military hospital
and barracks are being thoroughly dis
infected and prepared for the use of
our troops. In the meantime a subur-
ban villa, admirably adapted to the
purpose, is being prepared for use as
a hospital. The troops near Matanzas
are encamped on hign ground overlook
ing the bay, in a location which 1 con-
slider quite favorable from sanitary
point of view. The camps at Mariana
are well located.
In Havana Gen. Ludlow is exhibit
ing great energy in organizing the civil
government and in preparing to carry
out necessary sanitary measures The
sanitary regeneration of Havana, is,
however, difficult problem, and one
which will require time, as well as
money and energy. / consider it en-
tirely impracticable to place this city
in such condition that it will be safe
for non-acclimated PERSONS to remain
there during the coming summer with
out serious risk, and especially if they
frequent the more unhealthy parts Of
the city. Occasional cases of yellow fe-
yer occur in this city throughout the
winter, but the epidemic prevalence of
this disease does not usually commence
before May and the extent of an cpl
| demic depends entirely upon the num-
Der OF unacclimated strangers exposed
in the infected. localities during the I'M
healthy season Yellow fever is cpl
demic at Havana, Matanzas Garden
! as. Cienfuegos, Trinidad, and various
other seaport cities. It occasionally
prevails at Puerto Principe, Holguin,
Pinar del Rio, Rema dios and several
other interior towns"

POLICING HAVANA.
Many Former Spanish Officers Are Among
the Applicants.

Havana, Jan. 16.-Gen. Menocal and
Capt. McCullagh examined today 300
applicants for positions on the police
force here. About so patrolmen have
been accepted so far, and of this num-
Der some 80 men are Spaniards. Memo
cal is acting fairly toward the Spanish
candidates. If physically and morally
up to the standard, they are accepted.
Some former Spanish officers are
among the applicants. Two lieutenants
accepted appointments as patrolmen on
Saturday. The height required five feet
six, shuts out many applicants includ-
ing lot of Menocals men. The force
will be selected, in the main, by the end
Of the week. The weakest part of the
system is the pay. Fifty dollars a
month for patrolnen is regarded as too
little money for suitable men. San Juan
de Porto Rico pays SIS per month The
question of raising the pay of patrol
men here to that amount is under con-
sideration.
The first piles were driven this morn
ing for the construction of the limited
States pier at Triscorna. Col.
Hecker was present. The construction
of seven warehouses is beginning at the
railroad terminal line. They will be
finished in about a month. About 1900
men are at work. Senior Alfredo Rego
has applied to Gen. Ludlow for the
privilege of inspecting cattle entering
this port and collection fees for so do
ing, in Spanish style. His application
was not considered.

TO SUCCEED SENATOR GRAY
Republicans of Delaware Cannot Agree on
One Candidate.

Dover. Del, Jan. 16.-The republican
members of the legislature, who num-
Der ~ Of the total membership of So,
did not agree tonight upon candidate
for United States senator to succeed
Senator Gray.
a caucus was arranged for this eve
ming. The only republicans who met,
however, were the Union, or Addicks
republicans, and Is of these gathered in
the House of Representatives. Faction
al lines were strictly drawn, and the
regulars took no action whatever in the
election of a candidate. The Union
meeting was presided over by State
Senator Alice, who is the Union repub-
lican state chairman, and the members
voted unanimously for j. E. Addicks.
They contend that their gathering was
the regular caucus of the party, and
that its outcome makes Addicks the
republican nominee. In this, however,
the Dupont element doesn't concur.
The democratic members held minor
ity caucus this evening. and after sew
eral O. that party had withdrawn, ow-
ing to their sentiments on the silver
question, the remainder voted unani-
mcusly for George Gray.
