TO INCREASE THE PRICE.
Special Delivery Letters to Cost 10
Instead of Cents,

Washington, Aug. 2S.-It will cost
10 cents instead of s cents to regis
ter a letter as soon as Postmaster
General Hitchcock puts the present
plan Of the department into an official
order. The special committee ap-
pointed by Hitchcock to investigate
the registry system met with him
this morning and the necessity of an
increase was discussed. Another
meeting will be held Monday. Regis
try officials from a dozen of the larg-
est postoffices' of the United States
will be invited to attend.
The postmaster-general is author
lied by law to charge registry fee
as high as 20 cents, if it becomes nee
essary in order to prevent a deficit
in the system. 1t is understood. how
ever, that the fee will not be increased
more than cents. In 1874 it was re-
duced from Is to s cents, but it was
increased to 10 in the following year.
The fee was again reduced to cents
in 1895. This reduction, however, did
not increase the amount of registered
business, and the revenues of the
registry system fell behind, govern
ment losing several millions dollars a
year through its operation.

Laredo. Tex, Aug 2S.-Between
800 and 1000 people have been drown
ed in flood which was caused by the
overflow Of the Santa Catarina river.
which was swept by ferocious torrents
through large part OF Monterey,
washing away adobe houses with thei
occupants still in them, carrying them
away and drowning them like rats in
q trap.
1t is Impossible to secure the exact
number of lives lost in the food, as
all reports are not in, but it is Feared
that the death list may be even larger
than has been estimated
The financial loss will reach fully
$3,00O,000. A continuous rain for three
days swelled the river So suddenly
that ii broke over its banks at sew
eral places, running in torrents be-
tween the mountains where Monterey
is situated, and carrying everything
in its path.

M0R0CC0I ! WILL
DEFEAT SPAIN !.
IN THE BATTLE
WILL BE a REPETITION OF THE
STRUGGLE IN THE ISLAND
OF CUBA.
Spanish Soldiers Are Dying From
eat and Hardships, But Officials
are Carefully concealns the Dls-
astrous Results of the Campaign.

Madrid, Aug. 2S.-Spain's Morocean
campaign is developing repetition OF
the counhy's struggle of a decade
age in Cuba and the Philippines, just
as military experts in Madrid pre-
dicted a month ago
News of the progress-or non pro
gress-of events is kept carefully
from the public in Spain. Confiden-
tial information from government Of
ficials, however, leaves no question
that the outlook is black
The Spaniards are strong enough
to hold their own in Melilla and one
or two of the other larger towns
as long as money is forthcoming and
occasional levies are provided from
home Otherwise, they are no nearer
control of the country than on the
day the trouble broke out. So far
as the common soldiers are concern
ed, conditions are deplorable.
The forces penned in Mellila dare
not venture a sally outside the city
walls, except in force, and, as the
country is too barren to support them
at any distance from their base, the
troops are invariably compelled TO
retreat after each advance, leaving all
they have gained to be taken by the
natives. - ~ .T~
Losses in the field have been small
of late for the reason that General
Marina has been afraid to venture
an Important engagement.
From disease, heat and hardship.
however, scores are dying. The facts
are so carefully suppressed that it
is impossible to give definite figures.
but there is a high authority for the
statement that General Marina has
at his command barely three -fourths
of the body placed at his disposal early
in August, the rest having been lost
in action, succumbed to fever and
dysentery or being helpless in hos
pitals. This estimate would place the
number of dead or disabled at 5000.
The general has been warned from
Madrid to call for reinforcements only
as a last resort, political ends being
so serious in Spain that the govern
ment is in deadly fear of the effect
of fresh conscrlption. 1t is hardly
possible, however, that call for aid
can be long delayed.

FOR AN OPERATION
CONDITION OF {. n. HARTMAN
NOW REPORTED TO BE
SERIOUS.

Arden, N. Y, Aug. 28.-Evidence
continued to accumulate today that
preparations were under way at the
home of L.. H. Hartman for some un-
usual event.
Whether this event is surgical
operation or only a consultation OF
physicians, or whether apparently sig
niffcent happenings of the past twen-
ty-four hours have no bearing at all
upon the physical condition of the
railroad magnatey is something at this
time that cannot be definitely settled
by those outside the Hartman house
hold.
From man employed at the Har-
riman house it was learned that one
of the large rooms in the big struc-
ture is being made ready for occu-
pancy of some kind. Evidence from
men about the house and grounds to-
day fails to strengthen the belief that
the financier's condition is worse
than when he arrived from Europe
several days ago.
Rev. DR.. McGuinus, of the Episco
pal church, at Chester, who spent an
hour with Hartman, said he found
Hartman much better than he ex-
pected. He would not say anything
about possible operation.
The fact that five strangers, whose
appearance was markedly profession
al, went to the Hartman house yes
terday, is one piece of evidence that
stands uncontradicted among host
of contradictions from members oil
the household. The identity of these
visitors is still a mystery.

YESTERDAY FIRE
RESIDENCE OF c. l.. ELLIOTT ON
RICHMOND STREET WAS
PARTLY DESTROYED.

Fire at the residence of G. l.. Eli
OFT, on Richmond street, just east of
Hanover park, was discovered yester-
day morning about o'clock by the
watchman ct Marks livery stable.
who at once notified the fire depart :
ment.
When Chief Taylor and his fire lad :
dies reached the scene of the CON
fagration, the fire had gained good
headway, the entire upper
story of the residence being
ablaze. The occupants of the house
had only few minutes previously
discovered that the house was on
fire, and they We're almost caught by
the flames before escaping.
At one time it looked as if the
residence would be completely de-
stroyed, while the nearby residences
were also in danger, but Chief Taylor
and his firemen did excellent work
and the flames were extinguished be-
fore they could spread, but not until
the entire second story of the Elliott
residence had been burned, and sew
eral of the downstairs rooms were
badly damaged, by hre and water.
The house was insured for $4,000
and the furniture for like sum.
Chief Taylor states that he had an
opportunity to use the new Eastman
nozzle for the first time, and It did
wonderful work. This is a nozzle
which the department has had for a
few weeks on trial and It gave per-
feet satisfaction, and is pronounced
to be the best on the market. The
firemen all claim that with the old
nozzle they could not have accom-
pIished such effective work yesterday
