Bachelor, and an investigation of these
charges will be made this week. Chaplain
Bateman is not willing to be quoted with
regard to the affair and Captain Batche-
lor refuses to make any statement what
ever as to why the chaplain was arrested
or what charges have been preferred
against him. Not till the slow routine OF
the War Department has been followed
will the public know the exact nature of
the conduct contrary to the rules of the
Army service" with which Chaplain Bate
man is charged.
Friends of the chaplain declare that
Captain Bachelor has done this in a spirit
of persecution. TelegIams have been for
warded TO Secretary Alger asking for 4
speedy investigation of the charges. Let

Harrisburg. Pa, June S.-Senator Quay
arrived in this city about noon today and
is the guest of Judge Weiss. He had little
to say about the political situation and
remarked that he would spend most of the
summer at his farm in Lancaster county.
Regarding the Henderson boom for
Speaker of the House of Representatives.,
Senator Quay said that the Pennsylvania
delegation would probably give the Iowa
man its support. Senator Quay will prob
ably call on the Governor in the course
OF his visit. He is looking well and is in
good spirits.
Senator Quay's coming to Harrisburg at
this time has revived talk of an extra ses-
sion of the Legislature. For some time
several of his prominent lieutenants have
predicted that an extra session would be
called after the November election. when
another effort would be made to settle the
Senatorial controversy. Those opposed to
Senator Quay think an extra session would
be the supremest folly on his part but
there are many who believe that a strong
effort will be made this fall to heal the
party differences, in view of the Presiden-
tial campaign next year. Beyond his ex
preston about the sentiment favorable TO

A WONDERFUL CAVERN FOUND.
An Ancient subterranenn Burial
Place in New Zealand.

Victoria, B. c, June s.-New Zealand
advices OF May 10, received today. contain
news of the discovery twelve miles from
Wakato, of one of the largest caves known.
The story says that Wallace Johnstone,
an antiquarian. was led to the entrance. in
the side of a limestone cliff by the fall Of
a pigeon he had shot. The mouth of the
cave is about 20 feet wide by 10 high, with
an even floor dipping from the entrance At
an angle Of 80 degrees.
Procuring candles and assistants on the
following day Johnstone explored the
main hall, in reality a second cave, com
mencing at about 600 yards from the en-
trance and containing innumerable col
umns OF stalactite and stalagmite This
cavern, ii is asserted. was traced for more
than three and half miles, at which point
the air was still good and the cavern ap-
peared to be widening rather than con-
tracing, the roof being lost to sight.
Many fragments of burial utensils were
picked up, quite enough TO stamp the cav
ern as the ancient place of sepulture de
picted in Maori legend. and heretofore re-
garded as mythical by students of New
Zealand aboriginal history. There ap-
peared to be no limit to the length of the
cave the explorers proceeding without diff
ficulty until they encountered subter-
ranean lake. the width of which has not

THE MANAos DEMONSTRATION
Consul Kennedy at Para. Brazil, Ex-
plains the Recent Difficulty.

The State Department has received from
Consul Kennedy at Para. Brazil. an exp a
nation of the reported demoustrat on
against the United States Consular Agent
at Manaos, which makes it clear that the
affair was of slight Importance. and was
not followed by i'll results.
The trouble arose over the voyage of ex-
ploration made by the United States gum
boat Wilmington UP the Amazon River.
The objection manifested to the progress of
the Wilmington was based on a feeling of
local Jealousy. 1t was believed by these
who participated in the disturbance that
the gupboat's voyage to Iquito, far beyond
Manaos. would discover to the commercial
world the advantages of the former town
to the loss of Manaos The demonstration
that occurred. however, was Insignificant.
1t was not made by representative people.
and was deprecated by the batter class.
The good feeling which it was attempted
% disturb is. according to Mr.. Kennedy,
firmer than ever.

How He Came to BE Mnde Cubs's

The official announcement of the ap-

NAVAL RETIREMENTs.
More Applicants on the List Than
Can he Accommodated

Can he Accommodated.
There will be no necessity this year for
applying the provisions of the naval per-
sonnel act relating to the selection CT off,
GERS for retirement to cause the even flow
of annual promotions that the bill aims
to secure. There are already more appl:-
cations from officers TO have their names
placed on the list of voluntary retirement
than can be possibly favorably received,
and not one-half of those making applica-
tion will have them granted. Casua. ties
retirements, and other causes have created
so many vacancies in the lower grades of
the Navy during the past year that not
only does no necessity exist for eecting
officers for the retired list, but the num-
ber who wish to retire voluntarily exceeds
the limit fixed by Congress. 1t is believed
that there will be little or no necessity in
future of invoking the provisions OF the
selection clause to create the neces-
saTy number of vacancies annually in the
higher grades, but that these will all be
secuI n from the list OF officers who make
voluntary application for retirement.
Nineteen officers have so far filed applica-
tiOns with the Navy Department for retire
ment under the provisions of the act. but
of these not more than eleven will be IA
voIGbly acted upon. In each case. howeve,.
the officer will retire with the rank and
pay OF the next higher grade, except the
captains. who will have that OF commo-
dore. which is recognized still for such
purposes. These officers are: Capt. ].

W. K. a. Rooney, J. =. S Lawrence. G. S.

vides that retirements must be made ac-
cording to rank, so it is expected the first
eleven will be selected. This includes, as
