TO COMMAND THE INDIANA.
Captain DIcIsins VIII Relieve Cap
tain Taylor in the Autumn.

The next commander of the battleship
Indiana will be Capt. Francis W. Dickins,
now Acting Chief of the Navigation Bu-
reau, in the absence of Admiral Crown
inshield, who is on leave of absence abroad.
Secretary Long has offered the detail to
Captain Dickins, and he has accepted
although it is not expected he will relieve
Captain Taylor, the present commander
until the early autumn. Captain Taylor
was one of the first officers to whom Sec
retary Long offered the Office of Chief OF
the Navigation Bureau two years ago, but
at the time he had only assumed command
of the Indiana but a short while, and pre-
ferred being continued at sea- Captain
Dickins was an applicant for sea duty dur
ing the war, but owing to his familiarity
with the apprentice service he was re-
tanned on shore to superintend the estab-
lishment of a new station on Goat Island,
San Francisco Bay, and to begin the en-
largement OF the Newport station under
a special appropriation of Congress. Cap
tain Taylor will probably be given an as
signment on shore. Among those officers
being considered for the post of assistant to
the Chief of the Navigation Bureau is
Captain Cook the commander Of the
Brooklyn during the Santiago battle. Cap
tain Diekins' last sea duty was as COM
mander of the Enterprise with apprentices
from Newport on board.

Violations of these instructions will be
summarily and vigorously punished. Civil
employees who disregard them will be
promptly discharged, their retention be-

THE REPRIMAND APPROVED.
Assistant Fire Foreman Walsh MOI
CuiIty of fMismnnugement.

A collision occurred during the latter
part of May between the hose carriage of
No. . Engine Company and the engine OF
No l Company while they were responding
to an alarm turned in from Eleventh and
G Streets northwest. Joseph Paris, who
is Chief OF the Fire Department, directed
his second assistant, William T. Belt, to
conduct an investigation, which was done,
ending in a reprimand for Foreman John
Darlington. of No 2 Company; Assistant
Foreman j. A. Walsh. who was in charge
of No. l Company, and Hostler S. E. Ed
wards.
Chief Paris claimed that Foreman Gar
ringtOn made an error in attempting to
pass No. l engine, and that Edwards was
mainly at fault for the accident because
he violated the rules. The chief also
claimed that Assistant Foreman Walsh was
guilty of mismanagement because he
failed to cover the plug at Twelfth and
G Streets. and finally took the one at
Twelfth and + Streets, when he should
have taken the one at Tenth and G
Streets" The chief warned the men that
matters would result seriously in the event
of any repetition of their offences. AS
sistant Foreman Walsh did not believe he
was guilty Of mismanagement, and, re-
senting the finding of the chief. appealed to
the trial board, which granted a hearing
found him not guilty OF mismanagement as
claimed by the chief. and gave verdict of
acquittal. Notwithstanding this action, the
Commissioners have approved the repri-
mand recommended by Chief Paris.

Gen. Carlos Garcia called at the White
House yesterday afternoon by appointment
and was accorded a long interview with
the President. General Garcia is here on
secret errand from Cuba, and he stated
last night that President Mckinley would
do everything possible to relieve the needs
of the natives Of the island and to bring
about peace and prosperity.
I explained TO the President the situa-
tiol as it now exists in Cuba" said he,
"and found that he was wonderfully we'll
informed on the conditions now existing. /
was treated with extreme courtesy and
am more than satisfied with the progress
already made.
u explained the poor condition of our
public schools and told OF the ancient sys-
TEN now in vogue. as was stated in The
Times on Friday, and l was assured that
the rules pertaining to public instruction
would be rigidly enforced, and that every
necessary improvement would be made. I
was also assured that steps would be taken
at once for the Introduction of agricul-
tural implements for the use OF the
farmers, ans In future live stock viii be
admitted free.
4 was also assured that all obstacles
which might retard prosperity would be
removed and that so long as our people be-
hayed themselves they would not be de-
MED anything. The greatest needs of the
people at present are education for the chill
dren and help for the farmers, and these
viii be supplied.
Il am in hopes that we will be able to
hold elections in Cuba this fall. ! have
not yet received any definite assurance OF
this fact, but ! am pretty confident that
IL VIII be so. We want TO hold local cleo
lions and elect our municipal officials by
popular vote. We are tired OF the military
appointment system and will be well salts
lied when we get our own men In Office
We can elect men who understand our
needs and who Will be likely to do what is
right. The present incumbents think only
OF salaries and too little Of the people.
VIII have another interview with the Presi-
dent. and ] am certain that everything viii
be arranged amicabiy."
General Garcia stated that a better feel
Ing for the Americans had been prevalent
since the troops had been paid off and had
returned TO seek farming and other labor
i expect that within five years we will be
a prosperous people" said he, and with
the iptroduction OF good cattle and modern
agricultural implements we will have every
iren OF the island abloom and producing
Something.
The President described our present
co9aition, during my interview with him,
as being similar to his own case when
yophg man just mustered out after the
CiylrWar. He stated that he did not know
What 70 turn his hand to, and for long

SAVINGS BANK ROBBED.
Silver to the Amount of $3.50 nrys-
teriousIy Disappears From
the Vaults.

Kansas City, Aug. 5.-Three hundred
and fifty dollars, most OF it wrapped in
$50 packages, disappeared very mys-
teriOusIy from the vault OF the Missouri
Savings bank at 623 Delaware street
some time between noon and 4 o'clock
in the afternoon yesterday.
The bank officials say that the mon
ey was in the safe before lunch. During
the intervening time up to about
o'clock when the money was missed,
according to the officials, there were
always two or three of the employees of
the bank and no others behind the par
tition The officials offer no solution of
the mystery
Watt Webb is president Of the bank,
w. S. Webb, cashier, and W. L Kes-
singer assistant cashier. All the 9TH
ers present were employees of the bank.
When the money was missed, about
O'Clock, the officials reported the matter
to Chief Hayes, and he detailed Detec-
tive Ennis on the case. Nothing that
would offer a solution of the mystery
was found last night
The money was all in silver dollars.
Piles of $40 each, wrapped in paper,
were stacked in the safe, back in the
vault, and II of these, with a little loose
change were taken. These packages
stood side by side in the large safe, near
some stacks of gold, and it was only
an accident that the silver instead of
the gold was taken.
The safe where the money was, was
back in the vault, which has no en-
trance except the one Denlnd the desks
where the bank officials are. The Off
cialS say there were no strangers about
the bank and no one not connected
with the bank back of the counter.
They are sure the money was there
about II O'Clock yesterday, and it was
very evident that it was gone about 4
o'clock in the afternoon.
It seems impossible for any outsider
to have sneaked into the vault and Sc
cured the money. if. as the officials say.
the employees were constantly in attend
ance The case will be further investi-
gated today
