EMERGENCY ORDERS
Issued to the Indiana and Massa
chusetts by Secretary Long.
Washington, June 6. Secretary Long
has issued an order for an experiment
of the utmost importance to the navy.
The purpose is to Fee how much time
would be occupied in putting into con
dition ,for active naval service a part
of the United States fleet to meet an
inerpency. The vessels selected for
the experiment are the battleship In
diana and Massachusetts, now laid up
in ordinary at League island with a
skeleton organization of officers and
men aboard. Captain Dickins com
mands the Indiana and has six offi
cers and about ir0 men under him. The
Jlassitthusetts is under command of
Captain Train with four officers and
about lf0 sailors.
Orders were telegraphed Admiral
Casey, the commandant of the League
Island yai'd, and the two captains
above named to put the ships into con
dition for immediate service to last at
hast sixty days. No notice had been
Iieviuusly given of the department's
Intention. By the terms of the order
the ships must clear League Island in
nide of three days. The officers who
have projected the experiment hope to
do better than that. The ships each
have about 6.0 tons of coal aboard, but
must lie supplied with food, maps, bed
ding, ammunition, etc.
The hardest Question to deal with
in the present straits of the navy is
that of personnel. Officers were wired
lit once and it was necessary to rob
snme of the bureaus of the navy de
partment of much needed assistants.
The officer most remote from League
Island is Lieut. Wilson at Boston, so
that all of them should be aboard ship
by tomorrow .night. The Hartford's
crew now at Norfolk has been ordered
to leave for League Island and from
her numerous crew the complements of
the Indiana and Massachusetts will be
brought up to the standard. About
r,i) men and twelve officers will be re
quired for each battleship.

HOT MORNING BREAKFAST.
Comfort Depends on Food.
It is not so easy to arrange a tempt
ing breakfast for a hot morning, but
everyone appreciates such a breakfast
and enjoys the relief from the heated
rilood caused by a meat and coffee
breakfast.
In fact by skillful selection of food,
fven the hottest day' can be made quite
comfortable.
Start with fruit of some kind, then
a dish of Grape-Nuts food with cold
cream, one or two soft boiled tggs, a
tUice of bread and butter and a cup of
cocoa or Postum Food Coffee. On that
Kurt of meal one will be fully nourished
until the mid-day.
Grape-Nuts food Is concentrated and
powerful, imparting to the user a sense
f reserve force and strength. The
strong man thinks the weather moder
ate and comfortable when the nervous,
weak man thinks it unbearably hot.
Grape-Nuts food is perfectly cooked at
the factory and ready for instant use,
cool and delicious, requiring no hot
etove and cross cook on a hot morning.
Health is a matter of wise selection
of food and a. contented mind."

A HOLLOW RING
Discovered in the Details of the
Capture of Pretoria.
New York, June 6. A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The promenade from Cape Town to
Pretoria was ended yesterday after a
battle of manoeuvers, rather than ser
ious fighting. Lord Roberts gives a de
tailed description of this engagement,
and helps thereby to dignify the entry
of the British troops into the capital.
The details have a hollow ring, and it is
not clear that the resistance offered by
the Boers was serious. The Boers, when
attacked by the mounted infantry and
the yeomanry, fell back upon a position
in the rear, where they had concealed
several guns. The naval guns and the
batteries of artillery moved tip with the
infantry brigade behind them, and the
Dutch retired. The Boers then made a
feeble attempt to turn the left flank of
the British army but were thwarted
when General Hamilton's column of
mounted infantry filled the gap. The
Boers retreated and Lord Roberts' army
after bivouacking over night, entered
Pretoria yesterday afternoon, the guards
leading the way. The casualties were
not heavy and the engagement was a
series of manoeuvres on each side.with-
out desperate or persistent fighting in
the dense Dutch stronghold.
Lord Roberts was embarrassed by the
Earl of Rosslyn's enterprise last week
in revealing the helplessness of panic
stricken Pretoria and the facility with
which it could be entered by the British
troops and he was deprived of the cred
it of forcing his way into the Boer cap
ital, since the eagerness of the officials
to surrender the town was proclaimed
when he was not prepared to advance.
Py waiting six days he gave to the
Boers time to recover from their panic
and to make some show of defending
the capital. The account of Monday's
engagement and Tuesday's entry is bet
ter reading for each side in consequence
of the delay. The Boers have the credit
! for making a final stand at Siv TUiit.
Spruit End of seeking to ambuscade the
Biitish and then to outflank them, and
Lord Roberts, instead of marching in
several days after the enemy had scut
tled out, has the satisfaction of entering
the capital in gallant style after a suc
cessful engagement.
Lord Roberts does not appear to have
useu more tnan two brigades of in
fantry, with a strong body of ravalrv.
and wliiie the heavy guns were kent
well in front, there was little work for
them. He had stationed two brigades
of cavalry north of Pretoria and Gen
eral Hamilton s column to the west
and had not attempted to concentrate
his forces, since the Boer commandoes
were not strong.
After a few hours of manoeuvering
the capital was left defenseless. The
forts, constructed at the expense of the
mine owners and strengthened during
me war. were aoanaonea, tne creusots
and Krupps and the famous Long
Toms, which were to render Pretoria
impregnable, were taken east to the
mountains and the capital, of which
President Kruger's burghers had
boasted would be defended for month
after month, was surrendered after' a
single feeble engagement.
The facility with which Johannesburg
and Pretoria have been taken leads
many military men to suspect that
there has been a secret understanding
between President Kruger and the
British government by which the war
will be brought to an end without an
necessary loss of life and wasteful de
struction of property. This theerv.
while plausible, cannot be proved, since
neither President .Kruger nor Lord
Roberts will admit that there has been
any secret intrigue or that the closing
scenes or the war nave been prear
ranged in any sense.
The safer generalization is that the
Boers have fought gallantly against tiie
resources of a mighty empire and have
been finally overwhelmed by superior
numbers ana energy ana tnat Jord Kob
erts has worked out an intricate prob
lem in the dynamics of war. He has
shown how much force was needed on th
advance line and what kind of force and

she has not tasted a drop of

than a year, and a healthier or

We know others who have

equally good results.

how to protect his line of communications
most effectively by operation on the east
ern flank under General Rundle.
The campaign may now be said to have
ended west of the line drawn from Pre
toria to Frleksburg. General Hunter's
division Is reported to have entered Lieh
tenburg. Lord Methuen will probably turn
up at Potchefstroorn and Generals Baden
Powell and Carrington will occupy Ze
rust and Rustenburg. The occupation of
Pretoria will probably dishearten the Free
State forces and the Bethlehem, Harri
smith and Vrode districts will be gradual
ly overrun by General Bundle's forces.
The remaining operations' of the war will
be restricted to the Lydenburg district, to
which the forces still holding Laings Nek
must retreat through Brmelo.
There are many signs that the strug
gle will end in the course of a fortnight
and the details of the surrender of Pre
toria, communicated by Lord Roberts at
midnight, support this view. From Lord
Roberts report It appears that the Boers
were driven back fairly into Pretoria in
Monday's engagement, and that the sur
render of the town was demanded. Gen
eral Botha proposed an armistice for set
ting tne terms or surrender, ana lrd
Roberts replied that there could be no
conditions. General Botha decided against
any attempt to defend the town and the
civil officials arranged for the entry of
tne troops during tne atternoon. as nad
been done at Johannesburg. The wives
of President Kruger and General Botha
remained in the town and no attempt was
made to remove the British prisoners to
Waterval. All the prisoners will be speed

Newark Protecting American
WORST SINCE TWEED.
Ice Scandal in Gotham Involves
Democrats and Republicans
Alike.
Chicago, June 6. A special to the
Record from New Tork' says:
Mayor Robert Van Wyck of Greater
New Tork is on the verge of removal
from office by Governor Theodore
Roosevelt. The mayor's position is due
to the fact that he has been shown to
be the possessor of something over 30,
000 shares of ice-trust stock. In other
words, he is one of the largest partners
in a firm that is mulcting the city of
New York under contract for thousands
cf dollars each year for ice. This the
charter of Greater New York expressly
forbids and the evidence against the
mayor is now before Governor Roosevelt
and his legal adviser. Attorney General
Davis. After a long conference at Al
bany Governor Roosevelt announced
that the state officials would make the
most searching investigation of the case
before action is taken, and when they
are ready to act it will be in no uncer
tain, manner.
SUCCESSION IN A MUDDLE.
Should Governor Roosevelt decide to
remove Mayor Van Wyck the natural
successor to the present chief executive
of the city fould be Randolph Guggen
heimer.president of the rminicipal coun
cil. He may not be eli.Able, however,
for the same reason that the mayor is
unable to serve for he, too, has been
charged with owning stock in the ice
trust. Should it be proved that he, too,
is financially interested in the corpora
tion which is supplying the city with
refrigerant, the control of the city will
devolve on Alderman Oakes of Brook
lyn, a saloonkeeper, and vice president
or tne council.
Not only is Mayor Van Wyck uneasy
in his chair, but the barrier raised by
lawyers between him and the inquisi
tion -of the supreme court was broken
down today by Justice Gaynor, and the
frostbitten official will have to tell how-
he got the stock and other Interesting
details concerning the exposures, unless
of course some other court intervenes
and blocks for a time the opening of the
mayor's ice trust secrets.
OFFICIALS BESMIRCHED.
It has been shown by the official list of
stockholders of the ice trust that nearlv
every official prominent In the control of
the city is a holder of iee-trust stock. In
fact, citizens of New York declare that
this is the worst scandal that has ever
overtaken the city officials since the
Tweed regime. It has been shown conclu
sively that the following own stock or did
own it up to the time the exposures were
made:
Robert A. Van Wyck, mayor.
Augustus Van Wyck. mayor's brother.
Richard Croker. boss of Tammany hall.
John F. Carroll, deputy boss of Tam
many hall.
The dock commissioners.
Clerks of the dock commissioners.
Chief engineer of the dock department.
Supreme court judges.
Republican judges.
Democratic judges.
The commissioner of lighting and sup
plies. Former mayor of New York.
The boss of Kings county's Democratic
machine.
Frank S. Black, former governor of
New York.
Frank Piatt, a son of Senator Piatt.
Up-state politicians of influence, Repub
lican ana uemocratic.
Brooklyn's park commissioner.
A former president of the board of edu
cation. Arthur H. Sewall. Democratic candidate
for vice president in ISOti.
Various local "leaders" with influence.
And others who are not leaders, but
who hold high office in the city hall.
Since the officials secured stock the
price of ice in New York has been raised
irom JO to bO cents a hundred 100 per
cent and the small sales of 5-cent pieces
to the poor stopped. Public opinion forced
the company to sell small pieces to the
poor in some of the poorer districts, but
the general retailing of the small pieces
has been greatly curtailed.
GOMEZ'S PLAN.
It is Received With Disfavor in All
Quarters.
Havana, June 6. All the political par
ties through their representative news
papers have pronounced against the
plan of General Maximo Gomez to
amalgamate the party organizations.
Members of the cabinet say the scheme
is not feasible, as such an election would
not carry any official recognition from
the United States. More than this, they
assert that an amalgamation is unnec
essary, as they have an assurance from
the United States government, that a
convention will be called as soon as
possible after the elections, of all the
elected mayors to form a constitution
which will be presented for ratification
to the next congress. Consequently, as
they argue, if General Gomez were to
carry out his plan of taking a plebes
cite, it would make even the friends of
Cuba believe it impossible for the Cu
bans to do anything without nghtin;
among themselves.
La Nacion, organ of the Union Dem
ocratic party, now that It Is an accept
ed.faet that this party will be a minor
ity in the coming election continues
to call its successful opponents a "mere
rabble" and to declare that they do not
represent Cuba. It says that only 23,
000 voters have registered out of a pos
sible 60,000, and that the better ele
ments refrained from registering. To
this the Nationalists reply by asking
why, if the Union Democratic party had
such a majority, its members did no!

Used only by NATIONAL
against the United States, saying in
part:
"Surface appearances are often very
misleading, especially when one wishes
to ascertain precisely the direction and
force of undercurrents. The American
papers are misled by the visible placid
ity of the Cuban people and think that
a general state of contentment exists
over the island. -'
"We who are more intimate with the
masses,, can assure the American pa
pers that there is much silent discon
tent among the Cuban people. Much
could have been done if the Cuban sec
retaries had had clearer ideas regarding
their duties. Cuba has not been a
transformed paradise. We have no ser
pents here; and, if we have a whole
tribe of blood-sucking vampires, which
threaten us with a loss of the life-supporting
fluid, they at least can not lead
us to spiritual predition."
Americans here are astonished at this
attack. Before the members of the
Union Democratic party discovered that
they were in the minority in Havana
they claimed that they were America's
best friends, representing the old au
tonomist party, the wealth and intelli
gence of the island. Beyond this they
represented that they were conservative
and did not desire radical changes.
Now the columns of their organ abound
in sarcastic allusions to everything
American.
SX a meeting of the municipality of
Havana a member' of the council said
he understood that Captain Pitcher,
police magistrate and supervisor of po
lice, had ordered the police caDtams
to learn TCnglish. The mayor replied
that Captain Pitcher had merely made
a suggestion, but nad said nothing m
the nature of an order.
Several councilmen protested strong
ly against such a suggestion. One of
them asked why Cubans, the owners
of the country, should learn a foreign
language in order to speak with a for
eigner.
The mayor called the attention or the
council to the fact that the Argentine
training ship President Sarmiento was
coming to Havana. He said he had
mentioned the matter in view of the
