DEPARTURE of TROOPS
FROM THIS PORT

WASHINGTON, June 7-Acting Secre-
tary of War Meiklejohn sent the follow
ing order to Major General Shafter at
San Francisco regarding the departure of
troops for Manila:
You will send a battalion of the Fourth
Cavalry if their horses can follow at an
early date, or a battalion of the Four
teenth Infantry, as may appear to you
most desirable Whichever battalion re-
mains will go on the Pennsylvania, which
should arrive about the 10th. The signal
detachment and recruits will complete the
loading of the Sheridan. The regular bat
talon which you will retain will sail on
the Pennsylvania with the remainder of
the recruits. The Nineteenth Infantry
will sail on the next transport arriving
from Manila after the departure of the
Pennsylvania"
General Shafter replied he would send
two companies of the Fourteenth, 200 men
of the Fourth Cavalry and 1900 recruits
on the Sheridan.
General Schwan. who was recently or
dered to Manila, will probably sail on the
Pennsylvania.

with it. He had quarrel with John
Enos, the boss of the camp but don
think it was serious enough to lead to
bloodshed l saw him last either Mon
day or Tuesday in the first week of
May. Pete was a sickly fellow, and [
think if you look in the hospitals you
will find him. Previous to my being
employed by Enos l worked for a man
named Miles, who keeps ranch near
Suisun.'
During the interview Dier shifted his
sharp blue eyes from side to side and
appeared very nervous. When asked
where he lived previous to his coming
to California Dier meditated a minute,
as if lost for an answer and then he
replied, II lived in Oregon"
When Sheriff Taylor reminded Dier
that he did not appear to be telling the
truth the suspect blurted out defiantly,
well, l don't have to tell you, any
way"
Dier's knowledge in this respect led
the Sheriff to believe that he had been
arrested before, as a man who lives in
the woods all his life rarely knows that
he is not compelled to make a state
ment before his preliminarv examina-
ton. Sheriff Taylor asked Dier if he
had ever been arrested before, and he
took refuge in the reply, mo, not for
any crime"
Sheriff Taylor pressed the prisoner for
a more definite answer, and he jumped
up excitedly from the cot on which he
was seated and sought refuge in the
adjoining cell, thus ending the inter

War.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, June "A special
to the Commercial-App from New
Orleans says: From advices received
tonight from Bluefields via the steam
ship Sunniva, which sailed from that
port on June l. Nicaragua and Costa
Rica are on the brink of war. The
Times Democrat correspondent, under
date of the Sunniva's sailing. writes:
THE other day Torres left Bluefelds
for the interior, via San Juan del Norte,
with 165 soldiers and fOrty-one pris-
oners, the Costa Rican authorities on
the San Juan River, where that river
passes through Costa Rican territory,
and up which stream ii was necessary
to go in order to reach Managua, re-
fusing to allow the force to pass
through AS a consequence, the sol
diers and prisoners were left in Grey
town, and Torres went on into the in
terror to report the matter to Zelaya.
AS yet no action has been taken.
Troops and supplies, it is said, are be-
ing rushed to the border by both Costa
Riea and Nicaragua. All kinds of
rumors are being circulated in Blue
fields.
This condition of affairs lends sig
nificance to a gathering held in Blue
fields on Tuesday, May 80, when Gen
eraI Estrada called a meeting at the
palace of the merc chants and business
men of Bluefields. In opening the
meeting he read a telegram from Presi-
dent Zelaya, wherein it was stated that
it was the purpose of the Government
to retire all the paper money and to
put the country upon silver basis.
The general then proceeded to explain
that it would be necessary to raise
!. 900. 900 soles on the Atlantic coast He
said he had called the meeting to con-
suit with the business men of the coast
and to get their advice as to how the
money could be raised. He expects to
raise the loan from the merchants, and
has given them until Thursday at 2 p.
m. to think the matter over and give
their answer. 1t is said the Nicarag guam
Government is retiring paper money at
the rate of 10000 to 1000 soles a month.
The demand for silver money is be-
lieved to be created by the pending war.
Nicaragua needs munitions, and her
paper money will be worthless outside
of her own boundaries"

RULING WHICH WILL
SILENCE CRITICISM

NEW YORK, June IA Washington
special to the Herald says: President
Mckinley has put an Interpretation on
one of the paragraphs of his recent civil
service order which removes one of the
principal grounds on which criticism has
been based. The Presidents order
amends rule 5 of the Civil Service regu-
lations by adding this language:
"All persons serving under temporary
appointments at the date of approval of
this section may be permanently ap-
pointed, in the discretion of proper ap-
pointing office"
The general construction given to this
amendment was that it would permit the
transfer to the classified service of all
persons given temporary appointments
under the increase of force made neces-
sary by the war with Spain.
Secretary Gage brought the matter up
in the Cabinet meeting yesterday, and
the President said the temporary appoint
ments effected were only such as had
been made TO fill places in the classified
service for which the Civil Service Com
mission had no eligible list and could GER
tify candidates. There are few such
places, and the amendment therefore at
fects only handful of persons.

LOS ANGELES, June 7.-Senator Bulla

with considerable heat recent statement
that in the event of an extra session they
would vote for d. M. Burns. The same

Bulla has received several offers of sup
port should he desire to be again a can
didate in the event of an extra session.
In conversation to-day Bulla inclined to
the opinion that there might be some
ground for the recent talk of an extra
session. He based his statements upon
the public Withdrawal of u. s. Grant from
the Senatorial contest, assuming Grant to

event of an extra session the largest part

from the contest, again would be for

FORT DE FRANCE, Martinique, (via
HaytD, June l. Although Captain
Dreyfus continues to maintain his
usual impassive attitude he has de-
cided to resume wearing his uniform of
an artillery captain on debarking from
the French cruiser Sfax at Brest.
1t has been impossible to obtain an
interview with the famous prisoner,
who is now under guard of Captain
Cacheux of the gendarmerie and Fourth
Gendarmes.
Dreyfus seems to be in good health,
although his features are somewhat
drawn His face, after the first mani
festation of joy at the moment when he
received notification of the judgment of
the Court of Cessation, resumed an as
pect of tranquility and impassivity,
nor has he since betrayed any sign of
either joy or anxiety. He is perfectly
mute on the subject of the new court
martial with his guard, and he does
not seem to be preoccupied with any
thing else than his wife and children.
He has responded to the telegram of
congratulation from his wife, express
ing his great joy in the thought that
he will soon embrace their children
and members of the Dreyfus family

dispatch about the Kew trial. Since

ordinate authorities to sift Lorraine's

ordinate authorities to sift Lorraine's
disappearance to the bottom.
The many suspicious circumstances
connected with French Pete's disap-
pearance make it highly improbable,
so Sheriff Taylor says, that the wood
chopper has absented himself volun-
tarily. In the first place it is argued
that he would not have bought the
flour to make his bread had he decided
to leave the camp, and in the second
place he was without funds, and there
fore could not have secured transpCrta-
ton on the railroad. Then again, Lor
raine had a pet cat at his cabin, and
his fellow workmen say that he would
not have left camp without his pet
feline under any circumstances. The
cat still hovers close to his missing
masters late abode. While The Call re-
porter and artist were standing at the
door of the cabin to-day the cat scram-
bled down from the side of the canyon,
plaintively meowing at every step. His
gaunt sides and lean limbs and general
ly emaciated appearance showed that
Lorraine's pet had not been fed since
his master disappeared The missing
mans clothing and personal effects
were found in the cabin, indicating that
their owner had no intention of leav-
ing. The most important find, which
bears out the theory that Lorraine has
been foully dealt with, was his tobacco
pouch, filled with tobacco. Had he pre-
meditated departure from the camp he
would have surely taken this with him.
as Lorraine was an inveterate smoker
and tobacco is a scarce commodity in
the depths of Marin County's BLACK
Hole"
The detectives whom Chief Lees
promised to send to the assistance of
Sheriff Taylor did not arrive this morn
ing as expected, SO the proposed trip to
the camp was postponed until to-mor-
row. Sheriff Taylor went over to the
city early in the afternoon to consult
with Chief Lees. The Sheriff is some
what of detective himself and he in
tends to devote all of his time to fer
reting out the mystery.
Everybody in the canyon believes
that Pete has been murdered" said
Savin Johnson, one of the woodchop-
pers who saw Lorraine on the wagon
with young Enos. His absence was
not noted Immediately, as ye some
times do not see each other up in this
country for weeks at a time. One day
my partner and myself were talking
about Lorraine's disappearance when
Dier jumped up and excitedly ex-
claimed, What are you worrying about
Pete for? 1t is not any Of your bust
ness If a man goes away.
Il am sure that Pete has not been
murdered" said James Dier to a Call
reporter who visited him to-day at the

ANENT MUSICAL CRITICISM

From the Musical Courier.
Mr.. Ryan publishes an article entitled
intellectual Musical Criticism Versus In
discriminate Praise" June the 18th, in The
Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald, and he GER
tainly tells many wholesome truths The
louisville report in this paper was written
by a gentleman who is DESTROYS to encour-
age his community, and consequently over
looks many errors in his effort to illustrate
the musical possibilities of a large city that
is awakening from a lethargy. He fears
that the caustic criticism will dampen the
ardor of the supporters Of this enterprise,
and hence, instead of criticising, he sends
in report that eulogizes. Would it have
been more conducive 10 the future of the
music in Louisville If the reporter for that
festival had criticised with severity, as did
the one from Ann Arbor? Ann Arbor has
had number of festivals and has an i'm
portant music school. 1t has developed
musical criticism because it has locally de-
Veloped music. Louisville is defective in
musical criticism because good music has
not prospered there, notwithstanding local
opinion to the contrary. All local opinion
seemed enamored of its local and special
musical gifts, but criticism does not view
music locally or sectionally.
some time since a musician of Louis
Vile furnished this paper with a very Sc
we're censure of the musical affairs Of that
city, but as the article was scathing and
as it, for that reason, would have lost
its effect, and it had besides some
charges against musical people in that city
which We deemed too caustic for public
utterance, we were compelled to reject the
manuscript, although we recognized many
truths in 1t. 1t is a difficult problem to
solve-this treatment of local musical
events from cosmopolitan viewpoint.
After all, can they be treated from that
viewpoint? The Ann Arbor critic who sent
US that report was compelled to make 1t
anonymous, which means that he could not
AFFORD to be known for telling the truth
as he saw 1t. The Louisville critic or re-
porter had every reason not to be anony-
nous. These are the quandaries. Who
will solve them?
