WITHDRAW THE TROOPS,
Force in Cuba Reduced to 5000
Men-ConStitution ConVen-
ton in the Fall.

Washington. D. c., July 21.--Gen.
Wood, encouragement of Cuba, had a
conference today with the secretary of
war with the result that it was deter
mined to keep a force of about 5000 men
in Cuba for several months yet. This
decision will permit Of the withdrawal
from the island OF another regiment in
addition to those previously ordered
home. The First regiment of infantry,
posted in Pinar del Rio and Guanajay,
has been selected as the fourth regiment
to come home and orders to that end
were telegraphed to Cuba by Gen. Wood.
1t also was decided that the constitu
tional convention should be convened
during the early fall, the date being left
to Gen Wood. Gen. Wood says that
peace and quiet prevail in Cuba and that
the troops are kept there simply for their
moral influence and as an indication to
the people that lawlessness will not be
tolerated. He left here this afternoon
for New York and will make visit to
his mother at Boston early next week.
He expects to sail for Havana to resume
his official duties next Saturday.

A New Naval Formation.

The 'heXagonal phalanX' is a new ma
val formation recently tried by a French
fleet in the Mediterranean. There is one
vessel at each angle of the heXagon, and
the admirars ship occupies the center.
Their bows all point one way-that in
which the squadron sails. The admiral
is equidistant from all the rest and seen
by all equally well. Everyone is 400
yards from the next, but the space can be
reduced. In case of more vessels under
the command the excess would form a re-
serve, with torpedo-boats added to it.
This new order of battle is held to re-
quire fewer signals than others.-Phila-

THE FATE OF ANDREE.
Dying Man, Two Corpses and Bal
loon Wreckage Found by
Indians on Hudson Bay.

Fort William, Ont, July 20.-Indians
hunting on the east coast of Hudson bay,
many miles north of Fort George, in the
early spring, bring back to civilization a
story that may give to the world the
history of the fate of Andree and his
companions.
George RenisOn, son of a former pas
tor Of st. Johns church. returned last
Sunday after an absence of months, dur
Ing which time he was as far north as
Moose Factory, the Hudson Bay COM
panyS post on the west coast of James
bay. Before he left the last packet from
York Factory brought word that Indians
who were hunting above Fort George on
vast quantity of wreckage, the bodies
OF two men, and 4 man in the last stage
of the death struggle.
The Indians could not understood the
language he spoke, but it was not Eng
lish. He died while they were there and
bringing away any evidence of the
strange occurrence. AS the Indians had
never seen a balloon. the nature of the
wreckage was judged only from descrip-
lions given by them. but Mr.. Renison
says they described accurately the car
and other fixtures that could belong to
nothing else.
Hudson Bay company officials are firm
ly convinced that it is the Andree party
and have sent out men guided by the
same Indians to find and bring back evil
dence to establish the identity of the par
ty, as the Indians assert that books and
papers were lying around.
Mr.. Renison left Moose Factory June
%, coming by canoe to Nissanabo, thence
to this place. Early last fall people in
the outlying township around this place
asserted positively that a large balloon
passed over to the nortnward The In
dams are regular visitors to Hudson Bay
posts in that region and their story is
credited by the officials of the company.

London, July 21.-The announcement
of the British cruiser Bonaventura' de-

pursuit of Ii Hung Chang, comes some

being characteristicall dubious. AS Ii

Element, Herr Wolf says Germany,
when peace is re-estab lished, must insist
on three points. She must have the

to furnish Germany for colonial purposes
as many hundreds of thousands of coolies
as Germany wants, and the Chinese gov
eminent must erect on German territory

school, a technical high school and other
similar institutions where Chinese pupils
might be taught what European civiliza-
