MAY WED A SPANISH PRINCESS
Reports That Henri d'Orleans VIII
Marry the Queens Daughter.

MADRID, Oct. lot is reported that
Prince Henri d'Orleans is TO marry the
Princess of the Asturias, the eldest daugh-
ter of the Queen, now in her nineteenth
year People who profess to know deny
the report, but after all there is nothing
so very improbable in it, The princess has
reached a very marriageable age and the
choice OF desirable husbands for Catholic
princesses is limited, one might almost
say, to the House of Austria, for Papal
Spain could not tolerate any alliance with
an Italian prince communicated by the
Pope. The marriage OF the Princess of AS
turas would also be very popular in Spain
just now, all Spaniards who take interest
in the royal family having formed the
opinion that man is needed in their
midst, not courtier, but a man holding
the position of one of the family, and this
all the more as the King is growing up.
a masculine influence at this particular
time of his life would strengthen his char
acter, render him more capable of facing
the difficulties and troubles which will be
his in the near future when he comes to
the throne. and many Spaniards think
Prince Henri to be exactly the right kind
of man.

A DEAF BUT PLUCKY CONSUL.
He Ends a Soldier Mutiny Aboard
the Transport Newport.


the Transport Newport.
YOKOHAMA. Sept. 20. via San Francisco.
Oct 10.-The transport Newport on her
homeward voyage had on board large con-
tingent OF discharged American soldiers.
Dissatisfied with their Accommodations,
they practically took possession of ship and
driving the officers from their quarters in
stalled themselves therein. On the ships
arrival at Nagasaki, Consul Harris went on
board with four Japanese policemen.
The consul is little deaf On board the
Newport he was met by the leader of the
mutineers with the question: Are you
Consul Harris?" Owing TO his affiiction,
the consul was compelled to ask the man
10 repeat his question several times. which
the mutineer did each time in a louder
voice. The difficulty continued throughout
the interval, turning the episode into some
thing which appealed broadly to the Ameri-
can sense of humor The fact that Mr..
Harris was consul being finally elected,
the leader said to him, every word having
to be repeated: You just keep yourself
out of this affair. We are free Americans
and now have things On board this boat as
we want them, and we propose TO keep
them there. / have hundreds of men at
my back"
As this assertion was shouted into the ear
of the consul he said: You are leader OF
these men. are you? Well you are just the
man l want. With that the consular's hand
descended on the ringleaders collar and the
consular foot curled around his legs, trip
ping him on the deck and the American
citizen was passed into the keeping of four
little Japanese policemen, amid the
plaudits of everyone on board, including
the mutineers themselves.

SECRETARY: ROOFS Task
He Begins the Preparation of His
Annual Report.
Recommendations Expected Regard
ing the Future of New Possessions.
Army REORGANIZATION Not Likely
TO he Touched Upon i'm the DOcu-
ment-The Reasons for Avoiding 1t

Secretary Root has returned from the
West, where he went with the President.
and will Immediately begin work on his
annual report, which will be Of great i'm
portance.
Besides recounting the doings OF the mil
itary arm In the Philippines, Cuba. and
Porto Rico he will probably make recon-
mendations regarding the future govern
ment of these islands. 1t is well known
that he wishes to inaugurate civil gov
ernment in Porto Rico at the earliest pos
sible moment and that he favors the
speedy withdrawal of many Of the soldiers
from Cuba.
The President will depend largely upon
the report of the Philippine Commission
in shaping his proposals for the govern
ment of these islands. but Secretary Root
will have something to say in his report
as to control by the military pending the
institution Of civil government.
II Is stated that the Secretary will not
make any recommendations in his report
for army reorganization, or in the direc-
tion OF permanent increase for the army.
but will leave the matter open until after
the Philippine war has been brought to a
close. By this silence the Administration,
it is alleged, will avoid the charge of mill
tarism during the coming session of Con-
gress.
The Secretary. it is said, will take the
ground that until the war is ended 1t will
be difficult to determine how many of the
100000 men at present authorized can be
dispensed with. The present force can be
utilized until 1901. If the war is ended be-
fore the close of the session. the Secretary
will draft bill for a permanent reorgani-
Zation of the army. II it is not, the whole
matter will go over until the fall of 1900.

wild Dash for Liberty.
HUDSON, N. Y, Oct. 10.-Since Prof.
Mills, of Vassar College, informed the
800 inmates Of the State House of Refuge
for Women here that they were to be
treated like 900 Vassar girls the inmates
have been taking liberties that have made
the life of Superintendent May and her
assistants almost unbearable.
Realizing that they would not be pun
ished for offences, the girls, under vari-
Gus bold leaders, have carried on in all
sorts Of ways in the cottages and the pris-
on. The climax came Sunday, when Kate
Mccormick, leader in the prison, made
with her followers a bold break for lib
erty.
The girls in the cottages had been to the
afternoon service in the chapel There was
a notable absence of about twenty-five in
the prison who had not attended the SER
vice. After the service the girls, under
Kate McCormick's leadership, began their
outbreak, probably 100 taking part. They
tore down gas pipes, water pipes, waste
pipes, and electric light fixtures.
Kate Mccormick attached the hose to a
hydrant, and on the appearance OF the ma
irons turned stream Of water upon them,
as the matrons used to serve disorderly
inmates. The girls broke all of the win
dows in the prison and demolished the
furniture in the diningrOom.
In the midst of the turbulence and dis
order Miss May, the superintendent, ap-
peared, and, on demanding order, she was
told by the leader that the State Charities
Commission had abolished corporal pun

two policemen responded and had all they
could do to get the girls in order, it being
necessary for Sergeant Cruise to draw his
revolver to defend himself and the ma

! were armed with chair rungs.
A requisition for twenty-five pairs OF
! handouts was sent to the controllers Office
| in Albany. These have reached the refuge
| and, with those of the Hudson police de-

Of the girls. their imprecations and threats
were heard in this city. and the hills about
the refuge grounds were filled with men

A GREAT TERRAPIN RAID.
Futile Because of an OhiciaPs Delay
In Serving Warrants.

In Serving Warrants.
ST. MICHAELS, Nd, Oct. 1O.-The big
gest raid after illicitly caught and held
diamondback terrapins ever attempted
was made in this town by DR.. T. J. Smith
ers, deputy game warden. and Constable
Robert Coulby. 1t was failure.
1t had been reported to the authorities
that dealer, who is a diamond back ex-
pert. had about 1000 terrapins. caught out
of season and snugged away for the win
ter. Hence the raid.
Constable Coulby had two search war
rants and gun. When he and the warden
demanded admission TO the premises they
were politely but firmly refused, and not
wishing to use force they submitted to an
argumentative parley which ran along into
a considerable extent of time. Meanwhile
the news had spread and more than 100
people gathered around the house from Gu
riosity and to enjoy the spectacle Of the
officers being bafiied. They understood the
situation better than the constable and
warden did. -
1t is alleged that the constable got
frightened at the crowd, although it made
no hostile demonstration, and proposed to
the game warden to draw off and come
again another day with a posse comitatus
but that officer, who had remained cool and
collected during the scene, held him up to
his duty; so that finally he broke down
the gate, drew his gun and entered. 1t is
alleged he was confronted at the door by
an elderly woman.
However, not terrapin was found The
peaceful parley was fatal. While it was

SAILORS RESCUED AT SEA.
The Crew of Water-LOGged Brir
Saved by Liner.


PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1O.-Eight pota-
toes and half gallon Of fresh water
were the extent Of the provisions left for
the crew Of the water-logged brig, Ida
Maud, of Liverpool Nova Scotia, when she
was sighted in an almost sinking condi-
ton, on Saturday night last, by the Ameri-
Liner Rhynland, nearly 300 miles out at
sea. The brig was at the mercy of heavy
sea and was rapidly going to pieces. She
had been in that condition for twenty-four
hours.
The story Of the rescue is best told in
the words CT Chief Officer E. Peterson,
who with a crew Of five, including H. Lor-
AMEN, A. Anderson, ]. Anderson, r. Ket-
terson, and NJ OKeef took a rowboat to
the wrecked vessel. and with no little dan
ger rescued the helpless men.

pened till We struck a gale from the south
east on October g. The sea was running
very high. The next afternoon we sighted
a vessel in distress, flying her ensign in
verted, 270 miles from Sandy Hook. We
bore down upon her, but the sea was too
rough for us to get near. The seas were
vessel, and her bulwarks were washed
away. Her matches were stove in, the cab
IN and f6recastle were gutted out and the
cargo was washing out. The crew were
on top of the house or clinging to the rig
ging. Seeing her condition we lowered a
boat after putting the Rhynland in a po-
sition to relieve the heavy rolling The
boat got away with difficulty, in constant
danger of being smashed by floating wreck
age.
1T was impossible for us to get along
side the drifting brig so we threw them
rope, by fastening which to the boom,
all of he crew excepting the captain man
aged to reach our boat. The captain was
an elderly man, unable to descend the rope
as the others, so he made a rope fast TO
his body, and jumping into the sea was
hauled into our boat. All were safely land
ed on the Rhynland after an hours work,
amid the cheers of the passengers.
THE abandoned vessel was in a most
precarious condition, and was only kept
afioat by her cargo. We abandoned her,
but it is not likely she will float long"
The rescued crew consisted OF Capt
Charles Stuart. owner of the vessel; his
sons Daniel Stuart, mate. and Duncan
Stuart, Alexander Cameron, Charles Myat
and Michael Croney, seamen, and Robert
McMichael. cook.
The vessel and cargo We're worth about
$4,000. The passengers on the Rhynland
took up a collection for the wrecked men,
and raised $120.

The Navy Department this morning
opened sealed proposals for the condem-
ned vessels Hector, appraised at $4,000;
Ajax, appraised at $4,000, and Passaic, ap-
praised at $1,000. Only one bid was re-
ceived for the Hector. 1t was made by
the Metropolitan Coal Company OF Boston
which bid $4,000. Five bids were received
for the Ajax, the highest being that of H.

excess OF the appraised value, and if the
highest bidders proposals are found to
have complied with the law they will get
