BIDDERS ARE NOT SATISFIED.
Report of board of Construction Not
Yet Submitted.

The board Of construction has not yet
submitted its written report upon the bids
received last week for the construction OF
six new 3,Jfu~tOn cruisers, and therefore it
will not be possible to make the final
awards for a day or two at least. The
spirit of rivalry among the bidders is very
strong. and the department is already be-
ginning 10 feel their influence, based on the
newspaper statements as TO the nature of
the awards that the construction board
agreed to make at its last meeting
Townsend & Downey- of New York are
not disposed 10 accept the action of the
board in rejecting their bid, which was the
lowest one submitted by any of the bidders.
II is supposed that their failure to secure
favorable action from the board is due to
the fact that they have never yet built
Warship. and have not yet completed their
plant Trigg & Co. Of Richmond are not
altogether satisfied with the award of one
ship and will make an effort to induce Sec

Beautiful Specimen OF Il BoIo Receiv-
ed From the Philippines.

A very beautiful specimen o. that curious
weapon Of war which has figured so often
In the official reports Of the war in the
philippines. the bolo, has been received by
AdJutant General Corbin from General
Schwan. whose forces captured this arm
with others during one Of their expeditions.
This particular bOlo is SO exquisitely
wrought as to lead to the suspicion that it
may have been intended more as a symbol
Of authority and ornamented weapon
than for use in the field 1t consists of a
short, broad lauce-shaped blade about
eighteen inches in length By nearly three
inches in breadth at it's brOadest dimension
The blade tapers from the middle toward
the haft as we'll as toward the point max
Ing the weapon strongly resemble the an
cient short sword. However it is not dou-
BILE edged. but tapers from thick back to
an extremely keen edge on the other side
of the blade. The handle, or haft has a
heavy silver ferrule, heavily chased and is
made of an extremely beautiful piece of ma
tive mahogany or some kindred wood cum
ningly curved TO fit the grip of the hand
and terminating with an exquisite speci-
men of ornate carving in conventional de-
sign. The scahbard of the bolo is made of
a native wood. with rough outlined designs
carved thereon. The whole weapon is at
once much more beautiful in outline and
more formidable than the famous Cuban
machete.

ADMIRAL SCELEY'S ORDERS.
Forwarded to Him This Afternoon
south Africn in His Discretion.

One of the first matters brought to the
attention Of Secretary Long at the. Navy
Department this morning related to the
hnal sailing orders Of Rear Admiral w. S.
Schley, commanding the South Atlantic
station. Assistant Secretary Allen, who
presented the matter TO the Secretary, eX-
planned the necessity for speedy action in
the case, in view Of the fact that the ad-
miral is already aboard the Chicago at
New York awaiting the word to sail. 1t
was decided to issue the orders at once,
and they were prepared and forwarded to
Admiral Schley this afternoon. The Secre
tary said that they We're precisely similar
TO the oroerS usually given to commanding
0fhcers of naval stations when they sail.
They are not, therefore, like those given
to Rear Admiral Howison, Admiral Schley's
predecessor, when he sailed away from New
York for the South Atlantic station, mas
much as those were exceptional in direct
ing the chicago to go to Rio by way of the
Mediterranean sea, but simply direct Rear
Admiral Schley TO proceed direct from New
YORK to Rio de Janeiro, the headquarters
of the station.
Secretary Long said that no instructions
were sent TO Admiral Schley regarding
South Africa He was not told to go there
nor was ne told not to go there. Secretary
Long said that South Africa was within
the geographical limits of the South At
lanuc station. and although he did not say
so outright. he intimated pretty broadly
tnat II was a matter within the discretion
oi AdInlral Schley, and that he might go
there or not, as he saw fit. The ISSUANCE
OF the nnal sailing orders disposes of the
reports IN circulation of late that the ad-
mlral was to be made the subject of an
lhVesIGatlon, as has been strenuouSly ad-
Vocateo by his enemies for many months
past.

Yesterday.

SALT LAKE, Utah, November 20.-The
democratic state committee held a meeting
yesterday, chiefly to consider the Roberts
case. James II. Noble. chairman and a
Mormon, urged that counter petitions be
gotten up asking that Roberts be seated.
One after another of the Gentle members
arose ana opposed this, saying that they
had voted for Roberts as a democrat on
the expectation that he would be able TO
clear up the charges that We're made
against him by the opposition, as he had
agreed to do.
Roberts was arragned for what was
called his bad faith in failing to do this.
and it was declared that he had made a
foot ball of the democratic party as well
as of prominent democrats. The Gentle
democrats We're unanimous in opposition to
the proposition TO get up petitions for Rob-
erts Thereupon the Mormon members
dropped the matter, the chief purpose of
the meeting having failed. a large num-
Der of prominent democrats throughout the
state were present. Mormon and Gentle,

friendly natives and MOTOS, combined, cap
tured ZamBoanga ON the 10th instant. No
casualties. Landing parties from the Cas-
tine and the Manila hold the town, with
Fort NazrO commanding it, pending ar
rival of troops from Jolo. There is a con-
siderable force of insurgents at Mercedes,
four miles away.
An Important Acquisition.
However Zamboanga came into the pos
session Of the United States forces its ac-
QUESTION at this time is of great import
ance from a military point of view. 1t is
the principal city of Mindanao and domi
mates the entire southern half of that is
land which is second in Importance only
to Luzon. 1t has population of nearly
~ tsa people and is well fortified, so that
small garrison of troops can hold it indeti-
nitely against native attack. In addition,
il is naval station, which the SpaniardS
used to redeZvous their ships in the south
ern archipelago. 1t was at Zamboanga
that the entire force of Spanish troops out
side of Manila proper withdrew after the
fall of Manila and the evacuation of ll0ilo,
and from that place they were shipped to
Europe under the terms of the treaty of
peace.
Gen. Otis dispatch intimates that he is
somewhat embarrassed by the unexpected
necessity of providing a garrison speedily
for Zamboanga. He has need for all of the
forces now at his command to prosecute
the campaign in LuZOn. and to protect the
important city of HoiIo. on the Island'ot
Panay against the large force of insur-
gents in that quarter. 1t has been suE-
gested that the difficulty may be met by
garrisouing Zamboanga with a battalion of
marines one of which IS understood to he
available in this country and ready to sail
a short notice for Manila. lnasmuch as
the town is a naval station, there would
probably be no impropriety in allowing 1t
to remain in the possession of the navy.

President mckinley Manages to Re-
cciye Callers Daily

President Mckinley received a number of
callers this morning. and at the same time
did some work on his message. which is in
a satisfactory state Of advancement, de-
spite the fact that it touches upon more
important matters than ever before han
died b. him. President Mckinley, prior to
the assembling Of other Congresses, had to
cut short his visiting list that he might
have time 10 work on his message but this
year he has kept apace with his work and
seen practically all of the callers
II is still unsettled whether the President
will 20 to Nashville to welcome the Ten
nessee volunteers, who reached San Fran
cisco few days ago from the Philippine
Islands. 1t Is now doubtful whether the
regiment will get to Nashville before
Thanksgiving day, and if that is the case
the President will not go there. He intends
TO spend Thanksgiving III this city. and
will not be away from here on that date.
His idea has been that he could go to Nash
vile about the 9th and get back to Wash
ington on the evening Of the 10Th Even
II the President makes the trip at this
GATE ne will remain In Nashville only
few hours, as the close approach of Con-
greSS and the completion of his message
makes it necessary that he shall not lose
much time.
