Chicago. H.. aug. 1.-THE official
announcements regarding the rates and
arrangements for transportation for
the annual convention of the National
W. CT. [. TO be held at Seattle in
October has just been issued from the
headquarters in this city. The schedule
adopted after much discussion will
obviate the necessity of the delegates
from the east and middle west travel
ing on the Sabbath as was feared
would be necessary owing to the
length of time required for the trip
across the continent. The delegates
from the territory east OF the Mississ-
ippf will rendezvous in Chicago Fri
day, October 18th and will leave this
city the same evening via the Wiscon-
sin Central
A special train viii be provided by
the Great Northern road and it will
be suitably decorated and placarded
advertising the organization and the
convention. 1t is planned 10 have the
white ribbon train run until midnight
Saturday night. reaching Grand Forks
\. d. Il will 10 held there until mid
night Sunday. when the journey will
be resumed. the party arriving At Sc
attle Wednesday morning, October
IS. two days before the opening of the
convention. Owing to the refusal Of
the western roads TO grant reduced
rates the delegates must return by the
same route, instead of coming back by
way of Los Angeles. an arrangement
that has caused much disappointment
among the eastern delegates.

Painful Accident

Mr.. G. w. Williams, who is head
stevedore at the Champion Compress,
met with a painful accident yesterday
afternoon at 12:45 o'clock at the COM
press. He has been repairing the jack
screws for use next season and had
several on a platform which gave way
and pressed him against the wall.
There was a weight of about $50 pounds
against his body and it required six
men to release him. He was mashed
about the chest, a rib was d~islocated
and h ligaments of his chest were
strained, causing him great pain, but
it is not believed that his injuries are
serious. He was removed to his home,
No. 8 Post Office row, where he was
attended by Drs. Pigford, Wertenbaker
and Burbank. At last accounts he was
resting easily.

Walk of W1lmtngton-There are Also
Hot Springs Not Very Far From the
CITY

A we'll known gentleman in converse
ton with a Messenger reporter .yester-
day, stated hat he had discovered an
immense cavern within a days walk
from Wilmington. He would not say
where it is but stated that at the
proper time he would take the reporter
out and go into the cave with him. He
tells is hat he went fifty feet into the
cave and that beyond it looked like a
great cavern. He could see stalagmites
and stalactites and he is satisfied that
we have a wonderful cave almost at
our own doors. 1t may not be very
long before The Messenger will have
something interesting about the cave,
as the d~iscoverer proposes to explore
it as soon as he is able to do so.
The cave is in Brunswick county and
we also learn that several miles from
h cave there are hot springs, the
water boiling from which is hot enough
to boil an egg.

The Cruiser Raleigh Coming Home

The first ship of Admiral DeWey'S
fleet TO return to the shores of the At
lantic is the cruiser Raleigh, now en
route from Manila to Norfolk, where
she is to go out of commission n be
repaired. In the great May Day battle
in Manila bay, when Dewey's ships so
completely and brilliantly vanquished
the Spanish fleet, the Raleigh played an
important part. Commanded by Captain
Coghlan, the Raleigh fired the first as
we'll as the last shot in that memorable
engagement. From first to last she
was in the thick Of the fray, and since
that victory has rendered further excel
lent service in Philippine waters.
New York proposes to give the cruiser
Raleigh a fitting reception if the navy
department will but issue the neces-
Sar order for the vessel. to proceed to
that city. That the desired permission
will be given is taken for granted.
Captain Coghlap is now in New York.
Being the principal seaport of the Unit
ed States, it is felt that New York is
the proper place for the reception.
The Raleigh is now eleven days from
Barbados. Having been ordered to
Norfolk, only w days more will per-
NIT her to proceed to New York. Per-
mission for her to make the trip was
requested at the navy department yes
terday.-Washington Post.

AdjOurns for Want Of a Quorum-Ques~
ton of Dissolution TO Come Up Satur~

Havana, March 22.-The military as
sembly, owing to the absence Of a quo
rum, held no meeting today, but a
meeting will probably be held tomor-
row, though Saturdays meeting is
likely to be the important session Of
the week. The feeling is that, as it is
clearly impossible for the assembly to
raise funds for the army's use, the
most logical course, all things consid-
cred, would be to disband the army and
dissolve. A motion to this effect will
undoubtedly be made and will provoke
a lot contest.
The Cugan Generals Diaz, Monica
guedo, Robau, Nodarse, Betancourt and
PeraZa, held another secret meeting
tonight. 1t is supposed that, having
consulted their commands, they are
prepared to take the side Of General
Gomez against the assembly.
A committee of Cuban officers have
issued a call to their colleagues to at
tend the funeral at Colon cemetery to-
morrow of Major Predencio Martinez,
who was fatally shot on Monday even
ing at the Hotel Inglaterra by Police
Lieutenant Emil Cassin, former rum
peter of the Rough Riders.
