was buried with military honors.
The Nebraska regiment has settled down
into the routine of camp life again, al
though this time the routine is not hard
one. There is only very small guard
posted, and the men are required. to be
present but twice a day-at reveille and
retreat. At the Utah camp the same rou-
tine is followed.
The work of mastering out the new
comers has been started. The Nebraska
regiment will take the usual two weeks,
but the Utah men will be ready much
sooner On the way over the officers of
the Utah battalion worked hard at the
battalion's papers, and a consequence
they are practically ready. Before the
batteries left Manila they turned over to
the Third Artillery their guns and equip
ment, and this relieves them of a good
deal of work now. The commissary also
closed up his accounts, and the batteries
have only to get the mems papers in
proper form. This will be finished to-day.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The feature of
the Nazet executive investigating COM
mittee, which to-day resumed it's ses-
sions after about six weeks vacation,
was the examination of Messrs. Hor-
gan & SIattery. firm of architects and
contractors, who testified that they
have had work on steamboats,, jails,
gardens. station houses, dump scows.
etc, for various city departments. On
account of the amount of work per-
formed by Horgan & Slattery, Mr..
Moss, the attorney for the committee,
applied to them the title Of Municipal
Architects" Mr.. Moss devoted the
morning to trying TO bring out facts
showing why this firm of architects
received many contracts in the city
and how it was that they had been al
lowed to condemn the plans Of other
architects. Mr.. Slattery declined to
answer certain questions touching his
qualifications as an architect. referring
Mr.. Moss TO his partner, Mr.. Horgan,
and a lively controversy ensued.
Deputy Sheriff Mulvaney was the
first witness called. Mr.. Moss, counsel
for the committee. wanted TO know If
the Sheriff had taken any action to
stop gambling in the absence of such
preventive steps by the police. The
deputy Sheriff said he was aware that
d statute provided for such action. but
believed it applied to such counties as
We're in1perfeCtly pOliced.
Our object" explained Mr.. Moss, ''in
bringing you here was to call your at
tention TO this section of the law which
makes it incumbent on Sheriffs to sup
press crime. Betting on horse races is
now practiced in this city to an extra

to bring this fact to the attention of
all the public authorities within the
provisions of this resolution"
Mr.. Moss then called President
Michael Q. Murphy, Of the Health De-
partment, and questioning him con-
cerning work done by Horgan & Slat-
terry. city architects.
Colonel Murphy said Horgan &
SlatteTy had erected Willard Hospital.
There had been no public competition
for this work.
Arthur J. Horgan, of IIorgan &, Slat-
terry, was called. He said he designed
the new city prison; that the steel cells
cost 1910, 000 and that his firm got
per cent for their work. He had never
talked with John T. Carroll about the
work nor had he paid Carroll any
money He had made most of the
drawings for the steel cells himself
and none had been made by Western
designer.
Vincent J. Slattery, Horgan's part
ner, confirmed Horgans statement
that the firm had never paid any money
TO NIr. Carroll Slattery said that the
leading architects and architectural
papers had upheld his firms criticism
of the work Of John H Thomas, who
drew the plans for the new Hall of
Records building.

dollars by it."

course of the bullet and saved Colonel
Barnett from instant death.
William Dorm, the mascot Of the
Tenth ,Pennsylvanians, was an Oregon
boy who attached himself TO the regi-
ment while it was in camp at the Pre-
sfdio. He had fiery red hair and the
boys chTistened him "Searchlight' in
consequence. He was a general favor
ite, and no one was more sincerely
mourned than the little mascot when
dysentery carried him away.
During a conversation aboard the
transport last night Lieutenant Colonel
James Barnett said:
The boys are glad to get back to
Gods country once again, but every
man in the regiment is sad and dis
heartened over Colonel Hawkins death.
He was a soldier from the ground up
and beloved by all. When the army
started the campaign that led on to
Malolos Colonel Hawkins was then a
very sick man. His surgeons advised
him to return home, but he fatty re-
fused. Where my men go l go, he said,
and the last volley at MalolOs found
him in the front rank cheering his men.
After MaIolOs he sank rapidly. Those
who knew his true condition had little
hope for his recovery. He was the
most sanguine of us all AS yet I can
not say when the regiment will disem-
bark We will take our orders from
General Shafter"
In addition to the Pennsylvania
troops four officers of other regiments
returned on furloUghs. Those who were
fortunate enough to receive Well-mer-
tied vacations were Captain Dyner and
Lieutenant Fleming of the Sixth United
States Artillery, Lieutenant Merriam,
Third United States Artillery, and
Lieutenant Weigle of the First Wash
ington Volunteers. Lieutenant Merriam
is son of General Merriam, who had
command of the troops which over
awed the Idaho strikers.
"The boys are all glad to get back" ,"
said Adjutant Oliver Scott. I'VE were
in the thickest of the fight at nearly
every engagement and the boys are all
worn out We had a rather sorroWfuI
Journey across the Pacific. The death
Of Colonel Hawkins was sad blow to
the regiment. In every battle he was
where the bullets flew fastest, cheering
the men on the heels Of the flying Fill
pines. He had heard the hum of flying
bullets before and the din Of musketry
was music to his ears Colonel Haw-
kius never asked q man to go where
he would not trust himself On the
Sunday following Colonel Hawkins
death Chaplain Hunter pronounced
simple death services over the body of
our dead hero. The boys of the regi-
ment viewed the body and d guard OF
honor was placed to guard it during
the remainder Of the trip"
At Nagasad the Senator was storm
bound for five days by the severest

The Senator left Manila Bay on July

When the storm abated the transport
started for Yokohama via the Inland
Sea, arriving there on the 18th. The
boys were given a short leave at that
port and the day following the Senator
headed for home.

There are five military posts in the
lower valley, which were garrsoned by
about 1900 troops when Marshall was
there two weeks ago. Fully 2500 In
dians are on the Warpath and as they
are splendid fighters and we'll armed,
Mr.. Marshall says the present Mexican
force in their country is no match for
them. Reinforcements are on the way
there, however, and battery and some
sixty cases of arms are said to have
passed through Ell Paso en- route to the
scene of the trouble within the past
three days.
Late advices received from Guaymas,
State of Sonora, Mexico, confirm the
persistent rumors of an uprising of the
YaQuis who are gathering in the noun
tains and valleys about the river Me-
dano in large numbers.
On the morning of July rs j. NJ REM
ley, an American, and for many. years
express agent at Hermosillo, while driv-
ing to Alamos in a buggy in company
with Mr.. Miller, an American photog-
rapher, encountered the Indians In
large force and was killed, together
with his companion, and the buggy
burned.
At Medano, on the river of that name,
the Yaquis boldly attacked the ship
ping, setting fire to launches and
schooners and killing several persons,
among them Aurelio F. Paredes, a
prominent merchant, who was on board
the schooner Alondra, about to leave
for Guaymas.
The Indians were finally repulsed by
the inhabitants, led by Commissioner
D. Abram Ayala. 1t is learned on good
authority that the Yaquis have been
laying in stores and ammunition for
several months, preparing for a final
outbreak, and it is feared that they are
well prepared for long and stubborn
campaign.
At San Jose de Guaynas the excite
ment runs high over an anticipated at
tack at that place, and uneasiness is
felt over the effect the uprising will
have on the Indians about the river
MAYO. who are in a state of restless
ness.

shall. bus mess man Of this city,
who is we'll acquainted with the
~ Yaqui River Valley in Mexico and
who has just returned from that
region, gives some interesting informa-
tion regarding the insurrection there.
He says the Indians live on land grant
ed them by the Mexican Government
at the close Of the ten years war in
1897. These lands, he states, are con-
stantly being encroached upon by the
Mexicans, and this, in connection with
the excitement aroused by vigorous
dancing which was going on when he
left there, has led to the outbreak.

Yes, it is a lie."
Mr.. Horgan was recalled. He said
that in every instance he had drawn all
the plans and specifications for city
work himself.

At this point the court adjourned for
recess.
After recess, Frederick Clark With
ers of the firm of Withers & Dickson
said his firm drew the plans for the
Tombs prison under the direction Of
Former Commissioner Wright. Early
in 1898 Commissioner Lantry informed
his firm that Horgan & Slattery would
amend these plans.
Commissioner Lantry, the witness
said, told him that he wished to have
architects in sympathy with the ad
ministration. It was intimated that
the witness firm had better retire from
the work and finally they were dis
missed. The plans Of witness firm
called for the construction of. cells cost
ing $40, 000 Horgan & Slattery's plans
called for an expenditure of 1910, coo.
Horgan & Slattery used more material
than the original specifications called
for in art decoration. Such art on
prison cells was bad, Mr.. Withers said,
because 1t gave a place for vermin to
lodge
Mr. Moss read the original estimate
for the Tombs building, as prepared
by Withers & Dickson, and compared
it item for item with the estimate in
the contract as finally awarded to Hor-
gan & Slattery The additional cost to
the city under the Horgan & Slattery
contract is $220017.
Mr.. Horgon was recalled and Mr.,
Moss asked a great many technical
questions which witness refused to an
swer. Mr.. Horgan said that the firm of
HOrgan & Slattery was a corporation.
Mr. Horgan and Mr.. SIattery owned
most of the stock No dividends had
been declared and no part of the in
come Of the corporation had been used
to pay creditors.
The committee adjourned until to-
morrow.
