tingencies.
So far no action looking to reinforc-

nary circumstances would be awaited.

WARRIORS OF ALL NATIONS.

WARRIORS OF ALL NATIONS.
A Military Masterpiece Enacted by Real
Soldiers.
Buffalo Bill and his large organiza-
tion, composed of the Rough Riders of
the world, will be in Staunton, Satur-
day, April 22nd, and on the morning of
the exhibition grand street cavalcade
of all the famous horsemen of the new
and old world will march through the
different streets of the city. This free
parade introduces all the warriors from
the different nations and is headed by
the famous 60 1boy band. Every per-
son participating is a genuine repre-
sentative. Six hundred of them are
required.
Col. Cody has many new features
added to his exhibition and everyone
of them is of an instructive character
and of interest TO both young and old.
For the first time there will appear a
contingent of the residents of the
Philippine Islands, who are experts
on hoseback. also some of the queer
characters from the recently annexed
Hawaiian Islands, who not only Per
form f.ats in equestrianism but also
introduce through the female represen-
tatives the unique and astonishing
religious dances az they are perform
cd in their country when the occasion
requires. Cubans who have served in
the last war and who come here with
visible marks they have received in
the different encounters. Porto Ricans
who illustrate their native style of
riding, Indians, Cowboys, German and
English Cavalrymen, COssacks, Arabs,
Gauchos, Mexicans and others.
A military masterpiece entitled the
charge on San nan Hill will be shown
for the first tine This is made as
nearly realistic as it is possible in the
limited area. The management have
spared neither time nor expense to
make this the greatest effort of their
history and have gone SO far as to en-
gage a detachment of RoOsevelt's
Rough Biders who were participants
in their heroic event.

Vessels on the Way.

New York, March "a dispatch to the
Herald from Manila says: 1t is rumored
here that a steamer with 10000 stands of
arms and ammunition which were bound
for the Philippines has been seized in
Japanese waters by the Japanese authori-
ties.
Aguinaldo's army is disheartened as
the result of the recent actions. Many
companies Of the insurgents have retired
because their officers skulk and won't
lead their men.
The latest news from Cebu Is good. The
natives are returning to the town. The
coolies are now willing to work a reason
able wages. Under the native govern
ment they asked double pay. Vessels are
now loading and business has been re-
sumed.
The influential natives of the islands of
Malate and Ticoa request Gen. Otis to
send troops there. They say that 200 men
could easily subdue the rebels. The in
habitants are peaceable. They are dis
gusted with the extortions of three sue
cessve native governors. The two islands
contain $4,000 head of cattle which con-
stitutes the food supply Of the rebel army
of the south.

THE CONFERENCES
WILL SETTLE ALL

New York, March 3.--A dispatch 20 the
Herald from Valparaiso, Chile, says: In
the course of an interview, President En-
razueuriZ said:
Il bring a most pleasant impression
from the conference held with President
ROca. l am fully convinced that Pres-
dent RoCa and his ministers warmly seek
for a friendly settlement Of all Ques-
tions pending in both countries. | do not
know whether the conferences about
Puenta de Atacama, which began yes
terday in Buenos Ayres, will solve the
controversy without recourse to UnitAl
States Minister Buchanan as final arbi-
traitor. The commissioners of both coun-
tries are highly respectable men, upon
whose minds neither myself nor Presi-
dent Roca can bring influence to bear
If all the commissioners had been pres
ent at the Magellan conference they
would presumably have anticipated the
solution of the problem. AS for COM
mencemnet of matters, the trans -Andine
railways, etc, the commissioners carry
full instructions. President Roca eX-
pressed to me his desire to pa va visit
pressed to me his desire to pay !, visi;
The same is true as to my alleged visit
to the president of Peru
The Chilean war office and the military
authorities have definitely decided to
reduce the army by 5000 men.

ADMIRAL DEWEY
WILL REMAIN

New York, March "a dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says: Admiral
Dewey will remain in command of the
Philippines for, as full admiral, he will
outrank Gen. Otis.
1t is believed, however, that there is no
danger of friction between Admiral
Dewey and Gen. Otis as the latter thor
oughly understands the rights of the ad-
miral and will undoubtedly, when the two
services act together, fully consult the
admiral as to the course to be pursued.
AS Admiral Dewey will remain afloat for
some months it is expected that he will
Immediately take steps for the purchase
of uniform, distinctive of his new
grade and strictly in accordance, in some
of it's features, with the regulation uni
form which he has worn all his life.

bune from Boston says: The Arcadian
Copper Mining company, through the eff
forts of President Thomas l.. Burrage of

JUDGES MUSICAL AND UNMUSICAL.

London Graphic: Lord BramWel', who's
life has Just been published, knew good
deal about music, and had a fine natural
ear His sufferings. especially when on
the Welsh circuit, from the compliment
tary performances of the sheriff's trum-
peters under the windows of his lodgings
were sometimes acute. In a Welsh town
one day he suddenly threw up the sash
and shouted to the trumpeterS in the
street below: My men. give one good
blast as loud as ever you can and then
pray go home" Lord Bramwell used to
tell a story about Mr.. Justice Crompton,
who was supposed literally not to know
one tune from another. Once, and once
only did he profess to recognize God
Save the Queen" They were both at
public dinner in Dublin, when the band
struck up tune, and Mr.. Justice Cromp-
ton Loyalty rose to his feet. When the
music ceased Lord Bramwell explained
with great glee to his friend that the tune
which he had just treated with so much
respect was THE Wearing Of the Green"

Herald from Washington says: Action
is being taken by the war and navy de-
partments to reorganize the services un-
der the compromise army bill and the
the president will send 500 naval nomina-
tions to the senate tomorrow. Under the
army bill the president is authorized to
appoint five major generals and 19 brig
adler generals of volunteers 1t is the pur-
pose to continue all those holding the
rank of major general in the Philippines
in that rank, although some of those in
Cuba will have to be reduced to the rank
Of brigadier generals. The list of major
generals of the new establishment be-
sides officers of the regular service hold
ing that rank will be Gen. Shafter, COM
manding the department Of California;
Mai. Gen. Otis, the department of the
Philippines; Maj. Gen. Lawton, en- route
to Manila; Maj Gen. Anderson, COM
manding the first division, eighth army
corps, now at Manila; Maj. Gen. Arthur
Macarthur, commanding second division,
eighth army corps, now at Manila.
AS result of the retention Of these
officers in their present rank it will be
necessary for the president to direct the
muster out as major generals of Maj.
Gen. Thomas r. Wade, who will return
to his rank of brigadier general in the
regular army; Maj. Gen. H. c. Merriam,
Maj. Gen. James II. Wilson, Maj. Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee. Maj. Gen. Joseph Wheeler,

scheme to overthrow the Nicaraguan
government in order to secure from the

enable them permanently to control the

VESSELS CANNOT
BE MANNED NOW

Washington, March 3-The navy de-
partment has put the big double turreted
monitor Puritan out of commission at
the Norfolk navy yard and it is said at
the navigation bureau that the ship must
be followed by others speedily to the
great detrimcnt of the plans of the de-
partment. The estimates submitted to
congress, based on the minimum require
ments Of the navy provided for 600 sail
There are now Is, 900 men in the service so
that 5000 of these must be drop
ped Immediately. That means, ac
cording to the navigation officers, that a
large part OF the north Atlantic squadron
must go out of commission. The Asiatic
SQUADRON cannot be reduced in view of
DeWey's necessities; there is only one
ship, the Philadelphia. on the Pacific in
the European and the South Atlantic sta
tions have been abandoned and there is
only left the north Atlantic squadron as
material for cut. The loss of 5000 men
means the cutting in half Of this splen
did home defense squadron. 1t is proba-
BILE that the heavy reduction IN the num-
Der of enlisted men and consequently on
ships viii interfere seriously with the
conduct of the naval maneuVers this
year, notwiths landing the enormous
benefit that has been derived from such
drills in the past Another difficulty is
going to be the impossibility of putting
into condition the new ships as they are
turned over TO the government by the
builders, simply for want of men to man
them.
