party. The senator declined to estimate
the Jones vote, but said he thought Col
Dicks claim that Ohio would 90 republican
by 5000 was about correct.
The democratic poll of Ohio is said to in
dictate that the state will go for Nash by

uncertain votes, over half Of which Nc
Lean expects TO poll and thereby capture
the state The democrats are working like
Trojans all over the state, and are showing
signs of confidence.

The Secretary of War and Archbishop
II Gland have recently been in correspond
cree regarding the latter's proposition to
send a number of Catholic priests to the
Philippines for the benefit of the sick and
diving soldiers. All that was desired of
the War Department was the uansporta-
ton of the priests, but the secretary SAID
that the department had no facilities for
such a movement. He also negatived the
proposition that the priests be enlisted in
the hospital corps in order to get them
near the scene of conflict: me arcnpshop
ala that means would be taken for the
subsistence and shelter of the priests once
they were landed. Post Chaplain o. j.

81 RECON RAFTER CENSIRED.
His management OF Sick on Trans
port subject of InuuirN.

SAN FRANCISCO November 4.-The Eix-
aminer says that the most sensational re-
port of a military board of inquiry ever
sent to the War Department from this city
has been forwarded to Washington from
the headquarters OF Major General Shafter.
The document consists of nearly 100 type
written pages and contains the severest
kind of criticism of the methods employed
by officers in charge of the sick soldiers
who returned from the Philippines on the
transports Tartar and Newport on Octo-
Der 10
Upon Major Rafter. the surgeon of the
goth Kansas Volunteers, who came back on
the Tartar the heaviest censure is laid
Col Metcaf of the same regiment, who
commanded the troOpship. is indirectly re-
ferred to- General, Funston was only a
passenger.
Many other officers are given a hard
measure of criticism, but their names are
being withheld until the War Department
sees fit to make known the details of the
reports.
The board of inquiry which has so Sc
verely arraigned the transport service was
appointed by Gen Shafter two weeks ago,
at the suggestion of Col. Alfred c. Girari,
chief surgeon in the general hospital at
the Preside. Col. Girard's desire for an
investigation was occasioned by the de-
plorable condition in which he found the
sick men from the transports Tartar and
Newport. There were about forty of them,
and nearly all were suffering from dysen-
terry.
Three men who came on these transports
died a few days after arrival. They were
John Fabisak and John A. Logan of the
4th Cavalry and George W. Mills of the
2Oth Kansas.

WANT DUTY REFUNDED.
Porto Rican Merchants Complain of
War Denartment's Free List Order.

A number of Porto Rican merchants,
through Attorney Hopkins of this city,
have lodged with the Secretary of War a
protest against the action Of the depart
ment in Dromulgatng without notice an
order placing pork. flour, bacon and cod
fish on the free list when imported into
Porto Rico. The order was issued on the
18th ultimo, to take effect at once, and the
attorney claims the effect has been to we'll
nigh ruin a number of merchants who had
recently put in heavy fall stocks of pro-
visions, paying the current duty thereon
under an understanding conveyed through
the American authorities in Porto Rico
that there would be no change in the tariff,
pending the action OF the United States
Congress.
What is now desired is that the depart
ment authorize d refund of duty on the
articles specified. where the merchants can
establish the fact that they were imported
prior to the PRONUNCIATION of the order.
The War Department has called upon the
Treasury Department for expert advice in
this matter

THE COMING PARADE,
Police and Fire Departments to Turn
Out Next Tuesday.

The annual parade of the police and fire
departments will take place at o'clock
next Tuesday afternoon, and Commits
soner Wight, who has immediate super
vision of the two departments, has recon-
mended to- his associates that the trustees
of the public schools be requested to direct
that the schools 4be closed at such an hour
that day as viii permit the children to
witness the parade.
The reviewing stand will be erected in
front of the White House, on Pennsylvania
avenue, and Mr. Wight this afternoon de-
cided that one of the engine companies and
"a truck company shall be speeded before
the stand, in order to allow those thereon
to witness the activity with which the
District fire department respond to alarms
of fire.
1t Is expected that Admiral Dewey wifi
be one of the invited guests on the re-
viewing stand. President McKinleys alb
sence from the city will prevent him from
reviewing the parade this year.
1t Is probable that the employees Of the
District will be excused in time to allow
them to witness the parade but only those
of course, whose absence will not for the
time interfere with the transaction of the
business of the municipality.

CIVIL GOVERNOR OF CUBA
Names Discussed in Connection With the
Change.
Present Military Force to He Retained
Return of Gen. Ludlow to
Washington.

The proposed substitution of civil for mill
itary government in Cuba will be change
more in name than in fact, as it will not
involve the withdrawal of the present mil
itary forces hut will simply put the adj
mnistration of affairs in the hands of
civil governor instead of in the hands Of
military governor, as at present. 1t is said
that the plan contemplates the relief of
Maj. Gen. Brooke, the present military
governor of Cuba. from further service in
that island and the appointment of some
one else as civil governor. Gen. Brooke is
reported to be in bad health, and is said to
desire to return TO the United States. 1t
was arranged some time ago that he should
come to Washington before the assembling
Of Congress in order that the President anu
the Secretary OF War might confer with
him respecting affairs in Cuba. which is TO
form one of the principal topics in the next
annual message to Congress.
Mentioned for Governor.
For the civil governorship the names
most prominently mentioned in official
circles are those of Gen. Wilson. command
ing the Department of Matanzas and Santa
Clara; Gen. Wood, commanding the De-
partment of Santiago, and Gen. Ludlow,
commanding the Department of the city of
Havana. In case of the selection of one of
these officers it is said that he would be d.
vested of all military functions and be
made civil governor in fact well as in
name. As the chief executive of the island,
ne would have supreme authority, how
ever; he would have Jurisdiction over the
military, as well as the civil branches of
the government In fact. he would hold
practically the same authority over the mil
itary and naval forces in Cuba that the
President exercises in the United States.
Gen. LudIO. Coming.
Gen. Ludlow has been granted leave of
absence and left Havana this morning for
New York. 1t IS said that he is coming
home to see his family. but there are good
reasons for the belief that he has been
summoned to Washington to confer with
the President in regard to the proposed
change of government IN Cuba. In order
that there may be no delay in his move
ments, the health officer at New York mas
been instructed to waive the quarantine
regulations in his case. His coming visit
as we'll as his prominence in the affairs of
the Cuban capital, give color to report
That he is likely to be appointed civil gov
ernOr Of the island
