Hiatt was to be indicted by the grand

time Houston says the officers have been
searching for Hiatt and there Is a re-
ward of $500 offered by the Governor. OF
which he expects to get one-half.
Houston says that Hiatt was a mason,
a Observation-Disclosures and grocer in Still

as dangerous man. He has admitted
that he killed man or two and was in
a difficulty as boy Of IS at Marion

(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON. July 14.-General Chat
fee has been relieved of command in the
Philippines and ordered to the command
Of the Department of the East, by an
order issued to-day by Secretary Root
The order reads as follows:
by direction of the President Major
General George w. Davis will relieve
Major-General Chaffee of the command
of the Division of the Philippines, Sep
TENDER 80, 1902. On being relieved General
Chaffee. with his authorized aides, will
repair to Governors Island. New York
and assume command OF the Department
of the East
A few days ago General Chaffee was
cabled an offer of either the command
of the Department Of the East or the
Department Of the Lakes, owing to the
retirement Of General Brooke. General
Chaffee in choosing the former assign
ment suggested that September 30 would
be a good date to make any change in
the command of the Philippines. Pres-
dent Roosevelt consulted with Secre-
tary Root. who directed the order to be
issued relieving General Chaffee and
placing General Davis In command
General Macarthur has been asked to
take command OF the Department Of the
East when General Brooke retires, until
he can be relieved by General Chaffee.
