AIarconi system in Navy.

New York, Oct. 30.-The navy de.
partment has begun series of expert
ments with the Marconi system of wire
less telegraphy with the object of de-
termining its practicability for general
use for naval purposes on sea and land.
The experiments will extend over a Pc
riod of several days, and the results in
detail will be set forth in report to
be submitted to the bureau of equip
ment by a board of naval experts,
which has been appointed especially for
this work.
The particular object of the tests
was to determine the practicability of
using the system for short signaling
while squadrons are at sea. Marconi's
system, if it does all that is claimed,
would be of immense advantage in this
work. The afternoon experiments con-
sisted of six tests, all of which were
guccessful.

Rivera Dismissed.

Havana, Oct. 30.-General Rios
Rivera, ex-civil governor of the prov.
ince of Havana, whose withdrawal
from the governorship was reported
as resignation, denies that he re-
signed. He says he was dismissed,
and that he does not know upon what
grounds the dismissal was ordered.
He admits that he had recently re-
marked that he would resign in the
event that at least one of the three
nominations he had made to public
Office was not approved, but he attrib.
utes his dismissal to the direct in
huence of Senior Domingo Mendoz Ca
pote, secretary of state in the advisory
cabinet of Governors General Brooke.

Bold Daylight Rohherx.

st. Louis, Nov. l.-Robert B. Jen-
nings, secretary and treasurer of the
Broadway cable line, was robbed of
81, 043 in cash and $48, 750 in checks
while standing on rear platform of a
Broadway car at Broadway and Wash
ington avenue, at noon today. The
police attempted to suppress the facts
and as a consequence the news was not
known generally until three or four
hours later in the day. The robbery,
committed in broad daylight, on one Of
the busiest corners of st. Louis, is re-
garded as one of the most daring
crimes in local police annals.

Disappearance at Sea.

Washington, Oct. 30.-News was re-
ceived at the war department of the ar.
rival OF the hospital ship Relief at Ma.
Mia. She reported the disappearance
at sea, between Guam and Manila, of
Lieutenant Robert D. Carmody, who
went to Guam with a marine battalion
on the Yosemite, when Captain Leary
was sent out as governor to take posses
sion of the island. There are no details
of the occurrence. 1t appears Carmody
was taken aboard at Guam, presumably
sick, and on orders home, or else on
furlough. 1t is thought possible he
may have jumped overheard while de-
lirious.

He Took Tax Money.

Eugene, Or, Oct. 30.-Deputy Sher-
iff II. j. Day has been found to be a
defaulter to the amount of little more
than 50, 100. He went to Portland
last Friday on business, and tele-
graphed his wife from Portland Sun
day, that he would be home Tuesday.
Since then nothing has been heard 0
him.
A reward of $1OO has been offered
for his arrest. His defalcation is a
great surprise to his friends, as he has
always been considered trustworthy.
The money taken was tax money col.
lected in the past two months.

Fishinr Crew in Hard Situation.

st. John, N. B., Oct. S1.-The
steamer Labrador, just arrived from q
trip along the Labrador coast, reports
that fishing crew of 30 people are on
desolate island, off the northern Sec
ton of the coast, w ere they have been
utterly abandoned for some time, ow-
ing to the fact that the instructions for
a vessel to bring them down mis-
carried. A steamer must be sent to
their assistance pronptly or they will
perish with cold and hunger.

Durham, Natal, Oct. S0.-An inter-
esting incident in correction with the
Glands Laagto fight is reported here.
When the fire of the British guns be-
came too hot, eight Bers ran forward
out of cover, and, standing together,
coolly opened fire at the Imperial
Light Horse guards, with the evident
purpose Of drawing the latter's fire
while their comrades retired. Seven Of
the brave fellows were killed.

LADYSMlTH INVESTED.
Situation Sufficiently Dangerous to Ex-
cite Anxiety.


cite Anxiety.
London, Oct. 31.-The position OF
Ladysmith, without being alarming, is
sufficiently dangerous TO excite anx-
lety. Evidently the Beers are trying
to repeat their Dundee tactics. Roughly
estimated, they have 1900 men, as
against 10000 British. General Sir
George Stewart White has the better
artillery, but his is of lesser range,
The delay in the Boer attack is reported
to be due to the non-arrival of Com
mandant-General Joubert's column.
This has given the British a much
needed respite after their recent exer-
tions.
Everything, it is now considered,
hinges on General Whites resources
and judgment. Nothing is known re-
garding the progress of defensive works
for the protection of Ladysmith. The
censorship is more active than ever.
According to the Daily Chronicles cor
respondent, "the new regulations limit
the number of words allowed for press
messages to one-fourth the number al
lowable before"
Farmers in the neighborhood of
Ladysmith have left their farms and
stock at the mercy of the Beers and are
congregated in the town.
Two guns the Beers have mounted
are powerful weapons. They are the
ones used in shelling Dundee, and it is
a matter of considerable surprise how
they managed to transport such heavy
pieces.

New York, Oct. 90.-Miss Helen
Gould has given $4,000 to the League

suance of Miss Gould's directions.
They are aimed directly at Mormonism
and Brigham H. Roberts, as congress

millions more viii follow them. The
pamphlets and blank petitions will be
sent to $4,000 clerymen,

FORCED TO SURRENDER.

An official dispatch received in Lon
don from General White, commanding
the English forces at Ladysmith, states
that the Dublin fusilier, a mounted
battery and the Gloucester regiment,
were surrounded and forced to suren-
der to the Beers.
This loss to the British deprives
them of 1000 men and seven big guns.

Storm in West TndIes.

Santiago de Cuba, Oct. 31.-After
days of continuous rain storms, terri
fic hurricane from the southeast swept
over Santiago today, causing much des-
truction. Twelve houses were wrecked
and others badly damaged. The un-
precedented rainfall continues. Tele-
graph wires are down, and it is impos-
sible for vessels TO enter or leave the
harbor. A Ward liner has been de-
layed four days. The United States
transport Burnside has been kept cruis-
ing outside the harbor, and fears are
entertained for the safety of the feet of
schooners from Hayti azd Jamaica that
usually arrive on Monday morning.

Government Might Save S5S Per Ton
IL IL Had n Plant of Its Own.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-The Navy de-
partment has been making some figures re-
garding the supply of armor and the prices
to be paid.
AT present there has been authorized 23, 900
tons of armor and there is available for
the purchase of this armor $S,OOO 900. At
the time the Bethlehem armor plant was
erected there was only 5000 tons of armor
authorized by the government and there
has been purchased by the government in
all only 33074 tons of armor, 10000 tons
more than the government is now authorized
to buy. The average price for armor per
ton has been $557.57 the minimum being
S552.50, and the maximum $677.13, the higher
price being when nickel was intro
duced. 1t is estimated by the officials of the
department that in case the estimates of
$4oO per ton as a sufficient price for armor
are correct that the difference from the
price asked, $545 per ton, would in the manu-
facture of $4,000 tons of armor, be sufficient
| to build a government plant.
II the government could purchase the en-
| tire amount of armor authorized with the
| 900 available the average price would
| be $342 1t is said that these figures are
being considered by large iron and steel
! concerns. officials at the department say
that armor can be manufactured for $500
| per ton, and the government has money to
| pay an average price Of $342 per ton that
\ the manufacturers are likely to look into
| the matter pretty closely, as the profit OF
| $5S per ton will be well worth considering
In making these estimates the price of S4OC
per ton is allowed for the ships already
authorized under the naval appropriation ACT
for the year ended June 80, 1898.
The figures given above have been dis
cussed by officers of the department and rep
resentatives of the armor plate manufac-
turers. 1t has also been pointed out that
the government will not need any of the
armor until next February, and meanwhile
the armor plants Of this country will be
making Krupp armor for Russia. All this
armor Will be tested at the government,
grounds at Indian Head and the Navy de.
partment will have the knowledge of all
the experiments and be ready to take advan-
tage Of all improvements which may be
| effected

GENERAL MILLER TO RETIRE
Colonel Thomas NJ. Anderson Takes
Command of Iioilo Forces on
March 27.

WASHINGTON, March "a change in
command Of the United States forces at
Iloilo will occur on March q, resulting from
the retirement Of General Marcus Miller,
who on that date reaches the age limit Of Ga
years.
General Miller is in the regular service
having been promoted only recently to the
rank OF brigadier general If he were in the
volunteer service his retirement would not
be compulsory, precedent to the contrary
having been established in the case of sew
eral other general officers who held COM
mands in the army during the Spanish war.
General Miller's services in the Philippines
have been recognized by the War depart
ment as Of great value, his capture of Iloilo
without loss to the American forces having
marked an important epoch in the operations
in the islands. His compulsory retirement
Is matter OF regret to the department. He
will be succeeded in the natural order Of
promotion by Colonel Thomas M. Anderson,
who now ranks as brigadier general OF
volunteers.

Today.

HAVANA, March Ex-Governor General
Brooke has received a suggestion from Sec
retary Alger to notify the Cuban military
assembly that the United States government
will not recognize any financial obligation
entered into by any persons claiming to
represent the people of Cuba without the
authorization OF President Mckinley. He
will comply with the suggestion and will
publish a statement to the same effect in
the newspapers of Havana.
In connection with the question OF taxes
General Brooke is considering the abolition
of stamped paper required by the old Span
ish law to be used for all documents in civil
suits, All parties to such litigation are
compelled to use paper varying in price ac-
cording to the amount involved. Major
General Wilson, military governor of the
department of Matanzas, has reported a case
which came before the audiencia territoriale
at Matanzas, where the amount involved
was 100000 and the stamped paper eN-
ceeded 300 sheets at SO per sheet. The
stamped paper for use in deeds and wills
costs as much as S37 per sheet, and there
Is a fine for neglectlng to use it in the
preparation of such documents.
One-Third of Sugar Crop.
Forty-two sugar mills are now grinding
in Havana province and fifty-five in the
province of Matanzas. where the capacity
of the mills is largely in excess Of the crop,
which is only third of the normal yield.
A refinery at Matanzas and another at
Cardenas will start shortly and General Will
son predicts that the industry will be re-
established in three or four days.
The military assembly held another secret
session today, the place of meeting being
guarded against the public with the same
care as before.
The authorities this morning began pay
ing the police force, already greatly irri-
tated by the delay.
The transport Michigan sailed this porn-
ing for the United States.
At p. m. the temperature was "A de-
grees, Fahrenheit.
The North Atlantic squadron under Rear
Admiral Sampson will sail at 1 o'clock to-
morrow, proceeding by way of Cienfuegos
| and Kingston, to Porto Rico.
Regarding the alleged conflict between
bandits and Cuban forces in the province
OF Santa Clara it was reported that Padrone,
the bandit leader, who former lieu
tenant of Spanish guerrllas, was killed by
the Cubans ten days ago, but news has now
been received to the effect that Padrone has

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, March 9.-The
steamship Paris, Captain Frederick Wat
kins, arrived off San Juan yesterday after
noon. 1t was not boarded by the health Off
Ger until this morning at o'clock, shortly
after which a large party from the shore
visited the steamer, among them Brigadier
General Fred Grant, military commander of
the Department of San Juan.
The Paris has on board more than 400 pas
sengers and is bound on months cruise
around Porto Rico, Cuba and the other West
Indian islands. The passengers report de-
lightful passage and are very enthusiastic re-
garding the trip, especially applauding the
beautiful view of San Juan from the sea.
The Paris left New York bay shortly after
10 o'clock on the morning of March 5. The
first day out was foggy. The fogs were fol-
lowed by rain and of Cape Hatteras the seas
were rough though not particularly severe.
The rest OF the trip to this point was bright
and pleasant. Mole St. Nicolas was spoken
Tuesday afternoon at o'clock. Many Of the
passengers have come ashore in small boats
and have been enjoying the sights in San
Juan.
General Grant and Mrs. Grant gave a
breakfast this morning to John Sherman,
former secretary OF state, and Mr. and Mrs.
Colgate Hoyt, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Stewart

conditions under which he came to inter-
fere with the chief justice at Apia were re-
celved here with some amusement the off,
oials pointing out that the doctor clearly
saw no impropriety In the setting aside OF
the solemn obligation OF the Berlin treaty
by the little municipal council Of Samoa.
1t is a fact that had Chief Justice Cham
bers not been guilty of the imprudenee OF
commenting so freely upon the German
government and allowing those comments to
be published in the letter to his brother in
this country he would have the fullest sup
port OF the State department. But while
the examination so far made OF the reports
from all sources OF the events that took
place at Apia in connection with the kingly
succession go to show that the chief justice
acted within his rights, 1t is admitted that
his replacement by another American would
go a long way toward effecting a peaceable
adjustment OF the conditions in Samoa.

Troops Now Ahoat for Philipptnes
Are Using Fresh Meat.

iroops NOW Auout Tor Philippines
Are Using Fresh Meat.
WASHINGTON, March 9.--Regarding the
statement recently made that the troops now
afioat for the Philippines and hereafter to
be sent would be furnished beef on the hooi
as travel rations, it was said at the War
department today that this, in a way, was
true, but does not indicate any material
change OF plan in the handling of troops in
transit The transports destined for the
Philippines are being furnished as far as
possible with refrigerated beef, but this
plan is limited in number of cases by the
size of the refrigerating plant aboard the
vessel
Where the refrigerating apparatus is moi
large enough to take care Of fresh beef for
the whole voyage. cattle on the hoof are be-
ing shipped, TO be slaughtered as required
1t is said that this is no new departure, bui
has been practiced in the past as occasion
demanded.
1t may be said that none Of the troops now
in transit are being furnished canned roast
beef as travel ration. The commisary
department has only small remnant of Its
immense war supply of this article left on
hand and is not buying any more.
