:6 THE SEMI-WEEKLY MESSENGER: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1898. m iifflis At Havana Recive Their Instructions. OUR COMMISSIONERS Expected to Arrive Today To Live on the Iteuolute JlertlusM of the Com. mIlouerft to le Absolutely Secret Havana Authorities 111 vert to Other L'e Fund KaUed to Pay Interest on ISoadft The Local Government In Debt to ItwOfllclalH. Havana, September S. 6 p. m. The Spanish mail steamer Ciudad de Ca diz, which arrived this afternoon, brought instructions from the Madrid government to the Spanish evacuation commission, dealing with the details of the evacuation, the questions of forti fications, buildings, mortgages and other properties of the state to be re nounced by Spain, along with her sovereignty in the island. The joint sessions of-the commission ers will be held behind closed doors in the palace of the colonial govern ment and it is understood that the uc most secrecy will be observed, all avenues Of information "being zealous y guarded. The United States transport Reso lute, with the American military com missioners, is expected to arrive to morrow. The commissioners, it is an nounced here, will live on board the transport, coming ashore each morning and returning in the afternoon to the vessel. Special precautions will be taken to insure absolute order and to prevent any hostile demonstration that miht possibly be made. On Tuesday last, acting upon the ad vice of the colonial council of secretar ies, deneral Blanco issued a decree au thorizing the municipality of Havana to apply to the payment of certain oth er preferred obligations those sums which, as provided in the municipal budlget, should Vie applied in payment of interest and mortgages over due on loans of 7,000,000 and 3,000,000 pesos respectively and directing the Banco Kspanol to turn over to the municipal treasury all sums collected under these heads, suspending this quarter's inter est on the bonds issued for these loans Despite the agreement of the coun cil and (General Blanco's approval the Banco Kspanol decided, in order to maintain credit, to advance the money to pay the interest due the bondholders on the loan, protesting against the council's agreement. The local government is in debt to all its civil employees. It owes eight months' salary to those appointed be fore the establishment of autonomy in the island, and four months' salary to those named since. The tobacco crop at Vuelta Abajo promises to be the smallest on record. The principal reason is the scarcity of oxen, which were stolen by the insur gents or confiscated by the Spanish commanders to feed the 'troops. Many of the sugar estates, however, nave begun work in different parts of the island. Messrs. Pearson, Simpson and Van dama, respectively the administrator, engineer and inspector of the "Western railroad, have gone to the province of Pinar del Ilio to make surveys for an extension of the road to the extreme western end of the island, passing through San Luis, San Juan and Guane. General Solano, who succeeded Gen eral Pando as chief of staff to General Blanco, will go on "board the Resolute on her .arrival to receive and welcome the American commissioners. ITCHe' Conduct to be Overlooked Washington, September 8. The ten sion over General Miles' criticism of army methods is graudally subsiding, and in high official quarters the belief was expressed tonight that no official attention would be paid to the criti cisms. In view of much loose conjec ture over the imminence of a court martial or court of inquiry for the trial of General Miles it can be stated posi tively that those in authority have not up to the present time determined upon any such course of action, nor have they felt that such steps would be conducive to the best interests of the public service. In some high offi cial quarters there is a disposition to look upon General Miles as being his own worst enemy, and to pass over his comments as ill advised, though not to the extent of constituting insubordi nation, or warranting official action by the president or war department. One Minute Cough Cure surprises people by its quick cures and children may take it in large quantities with out the least danger.

Secretary Alger, accompanied by Mrs. Alger, his son. Captain Fred Alger; Major Hop kins, his aide, and Quartermaster Lud dlngton. left Washington at 10:10 o'clock tonight for Meadville, Pa., over the Pennsylvania railroad. The sec retary will spend the forenoon tomor row in an inspection of the camp at Meadville and will then proceed on his way to Detroit, where he will leave Mrs. Alger and his son. who is still ill from the fever following his service be fore Santiago. The secretary will then proceed to make an inspection of a number of the army camps, going as far south as Jacksonville, Fla., before starting back to Washington. Truth wears well. People have learned that DeWitt's Little Early Risers are reliable little pills for reg ulating the bowels, curing constipation and sick headache. They don't gripe. Jl. R. Bellamy. Guatemala' New President San Francisco, September 8. Man ual Estrada Cabrera has been elected Manual Carillo, consul for Guatemala news was received this afternoon by Manual Carillo, consul for Guatemala In this city. A dispatch of similar im port was also received by Schwartz Brothers, the well known importers here. . Manual Estrada Cabrera was the vice president of Guatemala during the I presidency of Regna Barrios. MASSACRIN CHRISTIANS Fierce Flghflns In Crete TnrkUb Troop Join the 71mnlnsan In the Kutchery-Engllah Soldier Killed. Athens, September S. The following dispatch, dated at 8 o'clock this even ing, has been received from Candia: "The Bashi Bazouks are committing excesses and the Christians in the sur rounding districts are arming to march to the assistance of the Candians. There are eight warships in the harbor and a fresh bombardment is expected. The British, German and Spanish con sulates have been looted, and thus far 200 native Christians and sixty-seven British subjects have been killed." Candia, September 8. A detachment of international troops, which has just arrived here, has occupied the forti fications and restored order. It is now estimated that 200 persons were killed during the rioting. The Mussulman troops protected ttfe Chris tians placed under their care, but they did not attempt to prevent the pillage of Christian houses, which continued until the international troops arrived. The Asty says it learns from an au thentic source that as soon as the Brit ish troops arrive at Candia from. Malta the Turkish garrison in Candia will be expelled, martial law proclaimed and the ring leaders of the riots put on trial and publicly hanged if found guilty. According to a dispatcn from Candia, sent late this evening', the admirals of the international fleet have decid ed to compel the disarming of the Bashi Bazouks and the surrender of the instigators of the disorder. London, Stptember 9, The corre spondent of The Standard telegraphing Thursday from the British battleship Camperdown, off Candia, says: The refugees tell ghastly stories of massacre. They report that no fewer than 700 Christians are missing. Sev eral attempts were made last night to set on fire the office of the Eastern Telegraph Company. It has been ascertained that all the houses overlooking the British camp were loop-holed for rifle fire and barri caded. This shows clearly that the outbreak was preconcerted. The behavior and attitude of the Turkish troops have been and still are inexplicable. Without going so far as to assert that they took part in the attack on our troops though many people are ready to affirm on oath that they actually saw the sultan's soldiers firing on our men it is impossible to controvert the positive fact that they made no attempt to render assistance. Every Christian survivor of the massacre swears that the butchery was mostly the work of Turkish sol diers, who first robbed and then slew their victims. Edhem Pasha is the man who ought to be held primarily responsible. Had he wished to prevent bloodshed he would most certainly have done so. Not till the British troops under Col onel Reid had been fighting hard for four hours did Edhem, with Turkish soldiers, arrive upon the scene. He had then the effrontery to say that he had only just heard the British troops were being attacked by thousands of Bashi Bazouks. It is needless to comment on this brazen faced lie. It is enough to say that Edhem Pasha must have known what was happening from the moment the first shot was fired, if, in deed, he did not arrange the plot him self. ;kani aritiy encampment Hearty Endorsement of Alger To Use In Histories "The War Between the States" The New Commander. Cincinnati, September 8. Illinois and Pennsylvania are celebrating their victories at their respective headquar ters tonight. The one has secured the commander in chief, Colonel .Tames A. Sexton, ex-postmaster of Chicago, and the other the location of the next an nual meet at Philadelphia next year. Earlier in the day the reports of the officials were submitted and commander-in-Chief Gobin delivered his annual address. When the annual reports were being read, especially Gobin's, there was con siderable cheering at the mention of President McKinley's name, but when the name of Secretary Alger was men tioned in connection with the recent war there was an uproarious demon stration in his favor. After the reports had been referred to their respective committees many resolutions were offered, specifically endorsing the administration of Gen eral Alger in the war department. The temper of the encampment as shown today indicates that the resolutions will endorse the management of ' the recent war. A resolution was introduced to have the school histories use the term of "The War Between the States" instead of "The War of the Rebellion." It is quite likely that resolutions will be adopted providing for the use of the term of "War for the Preservation of the Union." There will also be an ef fort made to secure a representation for the colored men in the national en campment. Unusual interest was taken in the selection of the committee on resolu tions on account of the recent issue of endorsing Alger or Miles and other matters in connection with the man agement of the Spanish war.

Wil liams Manufacturing Company., pro prietors, Cleveland, O. FUSION III Mil Not Complete in Over Six Counties. REPUBLICAN BLUSTER About Indicting the Oflleialn of Meck lenburg County Ieeoil I pon Fusion Official of SomeOther o untie Con flict of JiiriMlictlon an to AeIng Certain Kallroad Property for Taxa tion Small Number of ICankruptcy Cae. Messenger Bureau, Raleigh, N. C, September S. Late this afternoon the populist congressional convention met here. Many delegates arrived yesterday and all day there was wire-working and conferences with the republican lead ers, who as all now know, regulate and direct populist politics. Con gressman Strowd, though of the But ler faction, cut a big figure, as a pos sible vote getter. This proves what was said some time ago, that though the republican manipulators pretended to scorn Butler they really fear him. It also proves that republican brag about fusion with populists is only brag. In not over six counties in the state is there complete fusion. R. A. Cobb told me many populists in the Second district would vote for George II. White, negro republican, for congress. Today Cobb says: "If the populist and republican executive committees decide that Lloyd and Fowler are the legal fusion candidates for the populist and republican parties in the Second and Third districts we will work as hard for their election as we are doing for that of Harry Skin ner in the First district." Cobb says "there is no better friend of free silver in congress than Senator Pritchard." He puts the fusion majority in the state at 50,000 to 75,000. These figures will give democrts a hearty laugh. The populists are to name the fu sion nominee for judge in the Fifth district, to succeed S. B. Adams, fu sion nominee for congress. It is decided that they will put up A. S. Peace, of Granville, now a member of their state committee. A remarkable drop in the tempera ture, following a cold rain last night, will do still further damage to the cot ton crop, which seems to be almost doomed. The state treasurer finds that the report which the Raleigh and Gaston railway filed with the railway commis sion included stocks and bonds and other solvent credits, and that it is the only road which made such a re turn. Two of the commission, Caldwell and Pearson, have signed a statement that all the solvent credits were in cluded in the list. Commissioner Ab bott did not sign. He says $1,200,000 was not included. The treasurer says the commission had no power to as sess the stocks, bonds and solvent credits for taxation; that this was en tirely in the province of the treasurer. He will, therefore, take the necessary steps and will include the $1,200,000. The republican state chairman made a big bluster day before yesterday that he would indict the officials of Mecklenburg county for not appoint ing forty-eight registrars of election nominated by the populists and repub licans. It is ascertained today from C. B. Aycock that in several townships in Robeson county the fusion officials did not appoint the registrars nomi nated by the democrats, but appointed others: Judge Purnell says that some time ago the "calamity howlers" declared that this district was in a bad state financially, but that though the bank ruptcy law has been in effect sixty days there have been only three peti tions in bankruptcy filed. He is inform ed by James E. Boyd that there is very little bankruptcy business any where in the country. He expected a rush. No one is regretful save the ref erees, who are getting no business. Judge Purnell has issued a set of bankruptcy rules. He says that so far as he knows no other judge has done this. Tou invite disappointment when you experiment. DeWitt's Little Early Risers are pleasant, easy, thorough little pills. They cure constituation and sick headache just as sure as you take them. R. R. Bellamy. No Yellow Fever at Key West. Jacksonville, Fla., September 8. A special to The Times-Union and Citi zen from Key West, says: State Health Officer Porter, Dr. Murray, of the ma rine hospital service concurring, issu ed a proclamation today raising the quarantine, thus removing all restric tions upon travel to and from Key West. Dr. Porter has maintained from the day of the first announced that yellow fever existed in this city that the sick ness which prevailed here at that time was not yellow fever. The course of events has borne out his opinion. The fever which has existed here this sum mer has been diagnosed as dengue and is of a very mild type. Key West doors are now wide open and everything has put on new life, and business is booming. No Quarantine at New Orleans Washington, September 8. Officials of the Southern railway state authori tively that there are no quarantine re strictions which will prevent persons from entering or passing through New Orleans, or Shreveport, La., the lines to and from the south being entirely open through these points. They do not believe that there 13 any yellow fever In New Orleans nor in the vicin ity of Shreveport, and indications, they say, that all apprehensions of spread of yellow fever in the south will be allayed in the next two or three days. The American Gives ITp the Rare Berlin, September 8. Huret, the Paris cyclist, won the twenty-four hour cycling race which ended here this ev ening, covering 892 kolometers, (about 515 miles, 203 yards). C. W. Miller, the American cyclist gave up the race after several falls. OLLETl A DEBT BY FOIH K. j A rbinuo BniufM .Han Draw a Bis Check at the .nuzzle or a IMtol-The t'olleetor Captured at the Bank. Chicago, September S. William I7L McFarland, of the horse commission firm of McFarland & Evans, of East St. Louis, today walked into the office of Louis Newgass & Son at the stock yards here and presenting a revolver at the head of Louis X. Newgass, the Junior member of the firm, command ed him to send for his cashier, Frank Moseley. Upon the appearance of Moseley, McFarland drew another re volver and ordered the cashier to draw a check in his favor for $10,416, which he claimed the firm owed him. When the cashier had finished making out the check McFarland calmly Instruct ed Newgass. at the same time giving a menacing nourish to his weapons, to affix his signature to the paper. That done, the man from East St. Louis lined the two frightened men up against the wall of the office, and. with all the solemnity of a judge at the bar, administered an oath to them to the effect that they would not attempt to follow him or raise an outcry. He then departed, after stowing his re volvers and the check in his pockets. As soon as the visitor had left the office, however, Moseley and Newgass telephoned the police headquarters what had happened. The check was dawn on the National Livestock bank and Police Captain Lavin immediately dispatched two detectives to the bank. McFarland was standing at the cashier's window with the check in his hand when the officers entered. He was so intent upon exchanging the pa per for currency that he failed to no tice the detvtives until they stood, one at each elbow and seized him. Mc Farland was quickly disarmed and a few minutes later was behind the bars of a cell at the police station. The $10,416 which McFarland at tempted to collect by intimidating Newgass and Moseley is said to be the amount due McFarland in consequence of a sale of horses to the De Four Commission Company. The transaction is said to have taken place some time ago, when the time was set for the payment of the money fifteen days af ter the delivery of the stock. Later, it is claimed, the time for payment was cut down to five days, whereupon the De Four Company transferred its in terest in the deal to Newgass & Son. McFarland feared he would come out loser in the transfer and chose sum mary tactics to get even. INVESTIGATION DE.TIANIIKI) Secretary Alirer Ask for Thorough In ventilation oi'the War Department. Washington, September 8. Secretary Alger has requested the president to order a thorough and searching inves tigation of the war department. In this request, the secretary has been join ed by Adjutant General Corbin. No decision has been reached yet by the president as to what course he will pursue. He has the request of Secre tary Alger under consideration, but has not yet determined whether he will grant it or not. Secretary Alger had a long confer ence with the president tonight before leaving the city, and impressed upon him his earnest desire that an inves tigation such as he had requested be ordered. The question was very thor oughly discussed in all of its phases. Secretary Wilson participated in the conference and General Corbin was f present during a greater part of the time. It seems now not unlikely that the investigation will be ordered, but it is the wish of the president fur ther to consider the matter before an nouncing a definite policy. The question probably will receive consideration at the cabinet meeting tomorrow. While all of the members of the cabinet are not in the city, Sec retaries Alger and Long and Attorney General Griggs being among those who will not be present at tomorrow's meeting, it is said to be the wish of the president to take up the whole sub ject with those of his advisers who may be there. Should the investigation be ordered, it will include, probably, all matters relating to the conduct of the war, so far as they concern the war depart ment. Secretary Alger expresses him self as confident that such an investi gation, if conducted promptly and thoroughly will result in much good. Such an investigation as has been requested is, it is pointed out, beset with some difficulties. No charges of a definite character have been filed by any responsible person or official. Sen sational stories and rumors for which the administration has present knowl edge that there is no foundation have been circulated, and objection is made to dignifying them by the ordering of an investigation. By those who desire and advocate the investigation it is maintained it can do no possible harm and may be of positive benefit in clear ing away manifest error from the minds of many people and in placing the blame, if any is to be placed, where it rightfully belongs. THE STABS AND STRIFES Afloat BeIde the Britith Flag on Sal isbury Plain. London, September 8. The Stars and Stripes were raised today with the British union jack and the royal stan dard on the marquee erected on Salis bury plain, during the march past of the troops at the end of the army ma neuvers, as a compliment to Colonel Alfred H. Bates, the United States mil itary attachce; Henry White, secretary of the United States embassy, and Mrs. White, who went there by a special train with Lord Wolseley, the commander-in-chief of the British forces; Prince Christian, the duke of Con naught and other notables. The for eign military attachees seemed to be surprised at the sight of the American flag. ZVaryland'a New Republican Chair man. Baltimore, September S. The repub lican state central committee today elected United States Senator George L. Wellington, chairman to succeed state Senator Norman B. Scott resign ed. Senator Wellington's election is the result of a compromise recently between the opposing factions of the republican party in Maryland. Shatter Goes to Camp Meade New York, September 8. Major General Shafter took the 7:40 o'clock train this evening for Camp Meade, Pa. He was accompanied by Major J. D. Miley, of his staff. Public Statement From A Public Man Hon. W. II .

At 9 o'clock on Tuesday evening, August 23, Mr. Thomas IJeall Richey, of Woodstock, Va., walked out of the Howard House, corner of Pennsylvania avenue and Sixth street, and from that moment has never been heard of. He disappeared as utterly as if some tre mendous cataclysm had engulfed him. He was canceled as completely as though a convulsion of nature had buried him. Nothing more mysterious has ever occurred in Washington. A man in the prime of life, a prosperous merchant, a devoted husband, a sin cere Christian, sober, of high repute and influential family connections, Thomas Beall Richey passed from the Howard House into an occulation as absolute as death itself. That such a thing could happen in the very heart of Washington, at an hour when the whole city was awake and under cir cumstances of perfect public order and tranquility, is as astounding as any romance ever concocted by Gaboriau or Du Boisgobey. Indeed, it beggars romance and takes rank with those appaling facts which prove to us how much stranger than all imaginable fic tion is the simple truth. There are details and collaterals which go to intensify the mystery. Mr. Richey stopped over in Washington for the purpose of locating or tracing his baggage, which had gone astray. He had set out from New York, where he had been purchasing a stock of goods, leaving his wife to pay a brief visit to her family, but on reaching the capital found that his trunk was missing. On that account he put up at the Howard House, awaiting the re sult of a telegram to his brother-in law in New York, and, meanwhile, wrote to his neice in Woodstock, ad vising her of his detention. In the note he explained that he was waiting for his trunk, and would take the train for home as soon as it turned up. He closed his message by saying it was so warm that he could not sleep in his room, and that he intended taking a ride on the electric cars, probably in to the surburbs, with a view to enjoy ing the fresh air while the city cooled off. The remarkable fact in this con nection is that while the letter itself was in Mr. Richey s well known hand writing, and exhibited not the slight est sign of physical or mental pertur bation, the envelope was addressed in chirography totally unfamiliar to ev ery one of Mr. Richey's friends and relatives. The hotel stationery was not used. There was nothing to in dicate the locality from which it was sent. But the postoffice brand on the outside showed that it had been taken up somewhere in Washington at 2:30 a. m. Wednesday morning. The presumption is. therefore, that Mr. Richey wrote the letter after leaving the hotel possibly sevefal hours af terward and that some one in whose company he then was undertook to address and mail it. Another circum stance tending to complicate the my stery is that inquiry subsequent made at the Pensylvania depot snowed that the trunk had reached there next day, and the check had been presented and the property removed. A telegram was received at the hotel after Mr. Richey's disappearance. It was from his brother-in-law in New York, say ing that the trunk had been forwarded from the Courtland street ferry office, and it was opened by one of the lost man's brothers. The telegram gave the number of the check, and so it was an easy matter to ascertain that it had been taken up at the depot. It is also a logical conclusion that the per son presenting the check must have got it from Mr. Richey. Could it have been the same man who addressed the letter which was stamped 2:20 a. m., August 24, and sent to Woodstock? Altogether this strikes us as one of the most remarkable episodes in the history of Washington. Considering all the circumstances the time, the place, the well known character of the man, everything it constitutes as profound and perplexing a mystery as ever figured in song or story. Mr. Richey disappeared on the night of Tuesday, the 23d eight days ago and up to a late hour last night not a trace of him, however faint, had been developed. His friends have searched the city high and low. They ' have visited the hospitals, th police stations, even the morgue. Not a Sleam of light has been thrown upon the case. Silfnce and secrecy have thrown over it an impenetrable cloak. We know only that Mr. Richly has been spirited away, and we naturally ask ourselves whether, if such a thing can happen to one. it :nay not. with equal facility, happen to another. Washington Post. A Ileal Dansrr (KaU-lgh New? and Observer.)' Almost immediately after the pass age of th reconstructur.il acts, under which thi southern states vre re admitted into the union, an 1 by which civil and jditi'-al rights were confer red ujxm the nuro. there was a great influx of negroes into Washington "ity and the capital of the union was fast bceominjr the negro's ilitU-al heav en. Why? It was about this time that an act was passed by congress which gave t the citizens of the District of Columbia the power to ele.-t all th loval ofllcers of the city of V.hlng ton. The ieople therv ha I al self government, and the negro wu as good as the white man. They rwked to that city in great numbers, and had the intlux gone on and the right of the people tr elect the I.cal oificors be.-n continued the city would long ago have Iwen under the control of the negroes. As It was. the city government soon became so corrupt and extravagant that congress was forced to repeal the act giving the iople the right of lo cal self-government. The principal of ficers of the city are now nominated and by and with the advice and con sent of the senate ar.- appointed by the president, and these appoint the minor otJieers. Since the present system f government went into operation the negro has had but little shouim: in the way of otTlce-holdiug. and the city is no longer his political heav. :.
