PRESIDENT IS IN TRUEST ED IN
HAVING TROOPS HURRIED
OUT OF CUBA
POSITIVE ORDERS ISSUED
The Quartermaster's Department
IHnktnK I minimi Efforts to Secure
Transports and to Have Them
Ready to Embark the Troops
Within a Few Days Liners
Pressed Into Service.
WASHINGTON. March 18.— The presi
dent has become Interested in having the
volunteer troops in Cuba hurried out of
the island before there is any danger of
Infection from yellow fever. He has giv
en very positive instructions to the war
department upon this matter, and the
quartermasters department is making a
great effort to secure transports and have
them ready to embark troops within a
few days. It is desirable to have all the
troops destined for Southern camps land
ed In the United States before April 1,
when the quarantine regulations of the
South will make it very difficult to get
the men into this country.
The quartermaster's department has
started several transports for Cuba,
which have not been in active service of
late. Arrangements have been made
with the Ward line steamers to carry
troops to the United States and the Plant
line steamers have been secured for ths
same purpose.
Gen. Humphrey, chief quartermaster at
Havana, has been ordered to prepare the
volunteers for embarkation so that there
will be no delay when the ships arrived.
When it is practicable, troops will be
Inspected and the baggage fumigated
before leaving Cuba.
The quartermaster's department has
been working in conjunction with Sur
geon General Wyman, of the Marine hos
pital service, who is doing what he can
to overcome the difficulties of quarantine
and inspection in the United States.
M. CAMBON TO ACT.
Will Represent Spain In Exchange
of Peace Ratifications.
WASHINGTON, March 18.— M. Cam
bon, the French ambassador, called at
the department of state today and served
formal notice of the signature of the
peace treaty at Madrid. Secretary Hay
indicated his preference that M. Cambon
shall act as the agent for the Spanish
go%-ernment in the final exchange of rati
fications. This should hasten the last
formalities.
It was agreed that the ambassador
should act. as the representative of the
Spanish government in making the final
exchanges, while Secretary Hay repre
sents the government of the United
States. Although not customary on such
occasions, it is probable that President
McKinley will be present at the final
ceremony of exchanging ratifications,
which, in that case, will take place at the
White house, where the peace protocol
was signed. '
It was said at the state department that
the Spanish government requested that
M. Cambon's services as its agent be ac
cepted; the French government gaves its
authorization, and his designation was
gratifying to our own government.
At the conference no time was set for
the exchange, as that will depend upon
the receipt of the papers from Madrid.
M. Cambon is to receive the Spanish
draft of the treaty, bearing the ratifica
tion of the queen regent, and is also to
receive the authorization to act for Spain
In this exchange. This will take ten
days or so, and then the time will be
fixed for the ceremony of exchange.
M. Cambon left this afternoon for New
York on a social visit of some days.
SPANISH PRISONERS.
Appeal From Madrid in Their Behalf
Received.
WASHINGTON, March 18.— The Span
ish government, through the French am
bassador, M. Cambon, has presented to
ttte state department a representation as
to the condition of the Spanish prisoners
held by the Philippino insurgents, set
ting forth what they consider the serious
results arising from Gen. Otis' recent
prohibition of efforts by the Spanish au
thorities to secure the release of the pris
oners.
The statement is said to be not a pro
testation, but more in the nature of ob
servation on the unfortunate conditions,
with a request that some sort of relief
may be afforded. Reference is made to
the action of Gen. Otis in forbidding com
munication across the lines; also of the
necessary suspension of efforts by the
American forces in behalf of the Spanish
prisoners, because of the armed conflict
with Aguinaldo. How far the condition
of the prisoners ia detailed is not known,
but it is understood that the number
is placed at about 6,000, and that the
seriousness Is heightened by the presence
of women and children. The hope is ex
pressed that in the Interest of humanity
some effective steps may be taken to se
cure the release of these prisoners.
WEST MENTIONED.
Both Pillabury and Merriam Talked
of for Vice President.
WASHINGTON, March 18.— Speaker
Reed's visit to Jekyll island, which Is
also the retreat of President McKinley
and Senator Hanna, has set politicians
here to guessing on what the movement
really means.
Since Congressman Sherman, of New
York, declined to enter into an anti-Reed
combine and become a candidate for
speaker, the Reed opposition has been
looking to the West for a candidate.
Hepburn, of lowa, is being urged to al
low his friends to see what they can do
in working up a boom for him. Mr.
Tawney is also talked of.
Among those who profess to know
something of the feeling between Mc-
Kinley and Reed, it is claimed that there
is to be a conference to bring them to
gether; that all opposition to Reed is to
be withdrawn and that he Is to consent
to several matters of policy which the
administration is now forming. A part of
the proposed arrangement is the with
drawal of Vice President Hobart as a
candidate for second place on the Repub
lican ticket next year and the nomina
tion of a Western man. Regarding this
Western man, there is a difference of
opinion, but both Mr. Plllsbury, of Min
neapolis, and Mr. Merriam, of St. Paul,
are mentioned.
WILL GET EXTRA PAY.
Soldiers Who Were Transferred to
the Hospital Corps.
WASHINGTON, March 18.— The comp
troller of the treasury, in a decision
rendered today, holds that men who en
listed In volunteer organizations, and
who were afterwards transferred, with
or without their consent, by proper au
thority, to the hospital corps, and who
served honestly and faithfully become,
for pay purposes, members of the hos
pital corps enlisted for the war only, and
as such on muster out and discharge
from the service, are entitled to the ex
tra pay granted by the act of March
8, 1899.
SOLOXS FIGHTING SHY.
Afraid to Accept the Invitation of
the Canal Company.
WASHINGTON, Maroh 18.—Represen
tative Burton, of Cleveland, chairman of
the river end harbor committee of the
house, has passed the word along the
line that hi does not approve of the
membef » of his committee accepting- the
invitation of the Panama directors to
visit Nicaragua.
It now looks as though the declination
of the influential members of the house
and senate will leave the Panama pro
moters with but a small party. Senators
and members view the "Junket" with sus
picion. They fear itf may compromise
them not only at hon%, but might lead
to many annoyances wljen the canal pro
ject comes up for dlsc-uaslon In the next
congress. They are fre<J to admit, how
ever, that it is with regret that they de
cline the invitation of the Panama peo
ple, as It would undoubtedly be a most
enjoyable trip; but.V having political fu
tures before them, many see larg-e-slzefl
obstructions ahead _shoy!d they accept.
Hence the invitations of- the Panama di
rectors are being declined.
PINE LAND SAL.ES.
lilat Of TowiiHiiipi, 1,, MlimeHOlu ttiv
en Out at Vt'aKliiiiKtoti.
WASHINGTON, March 18.— Land Com
missioner Herman Jjoday.gave out a list
of pine lands in Minnesota that were to
have been sold in sMay. They embrace
townships. 144 north, in ranges 25 to 29
west, inclusive; townships 145 north, tn
ranges 25 to 32, inclusive, and townships
146 north. In ranges 25 to 30 w^st, inclu
sive. All the above are in the Leech
lake reservation. In the White Earth
ceded reservation the list embraces
townships 143, 144, 145 and 146, range 37
west.
The White Earth Indians, according to
Commissioner Herman, are desirous of
having their land sold, and have peti
tioned the department to that effect.
Commissioner Herman wil Hake up the
question with Secretary Hitchcock when
the latter returns from St. Louis, next
week. He says no decision has been
reached, and that it will not be until the
secretary has considered the case In all
its bearings, particularly with reference
to the intent of the people of Minnesota,
as expressed in the two resolutions
! passed by the legislature.
EXPRESS MONEY ORDERS.
Companies Seek: tol Avoid Payment
of Brokers' Tax.
WASHINGTON. March 18.—Commis
sioner Wilson, of the internal revenue
bureau, gave a hearing today to Repre
sentative C. H. Grosvenor and Mr. John
J. McCook, of New York, counsel for one
or more express companies, In opposi
tion to the theory that money orders is
sued by express companies should be
regarded as bills of exchange, and that
agents Issuing the same could properly
be held to be brokers under the new war
revenue act and, therefore, liable to an
annual tax of $50 each. The commission
er has held that bills of exchange and
persons issuing them are subject to -the
broker's tax, but the | question as to
whether express money orders are bills
of exchange within the meaning of the
law is now under consideration. This
point probably will be decided within the
next few days. It was contended that if
the agents of the express companies were
compelled to pay the $50 tax imposed on
brokers the result would be that the com
panies would be forced out of the money
order business, as the tax would be great
er by several times than the profit on
money orders.
I,aiin- \mi-rlciiii Conference.
WASHINGTON, March 18.— At the In
vitation of the secretary of state a con
ference of the diplomatic representatives
of the Latin-American countries, compos

FROM SAN FRANCISCO
Comes the Newi That for Catarrh No
Remedy Is So Beneficial ai
Pe-m-na.
Hon. William A. Deane, clerk of the
city and county of San Francisco, Is an
exceptionally popular young man, social
ly and politically. In a letter written
Jan. 28, 1899, from San Francisco, to Dr.
Hartman, Mr. Deane has the following
to say of Pe-ru-na:
The Pe-ru-na Drug M'f'g. Co.:
"Gentlemen— l would not be without
Pe-ru-na, as I have found it to be the
best remedy for catarrhal complaints
that I have ever used. I have tried most
all of the so-called catarrh remedies ad
vertised, and can conscientiously say that
of all the remedies for catarrhal com
plaints recommended to me none have
been so beneficial as Pe-ru-na.
— Wm. A. Deane."
The spring-time is the most favorable
time of the year to treat catarrh. There
is so much less liability to take fresh
cold that the treatment is unimpeded.
All old cases of chronic catarrh should
begin immediately a course of Pe-ru-na
as directed in Dr. Hartman's books on
this disease. There are so many differ
ent phases and stages of catarrh that
one hardly knows when he has it. A
great many people think they are suffer
ing from something else and have tried
many medicines in vain, when If they
could realize that it is catarrh and take
Pe-ru-na for it they would improve
promptly and soon recover entirely.
There are no substitutes. Let no one
persuade you there are other catarrh
remedies just as good.

Dr. Hartman, Columbus=, Ohio. Sent free

KANSAS CITY. Mo., March 19.-Tho
beef court of Inquiry resumed the taking
of testimony today at Its headquarters In
the Midland hotel. 1.. A . Rambo, who
formerly worked In the canning depart
ment at Armours and who had previ
ously testified that at one time as high
as 30 per cent of canned meat had been
rejected after being prepared by his firm,
was recalled. He said that while he was
employed In that department, two car
loads of spoiled canned beef were re
turned from the army. When the cars
were opened, many of the cans were
found burst and maggots were crawling
everywhere. About two cans out of each
case were spoiled.
Mr. Ritchie, who had worked In the
canning department, said that a dally
average of 50 cans of roast beef were re
jected while the government order was
being prepared.' The usual precaution in
Its preparation was taken. He helped to
pack the two carloads for the army. The
rejected- meat was sent to the cook room,
reinspected and the good repacked In new
cases.
Thomas Talbot had packed roast beef
In the canning department. Out of 300
cases handled in a day from 40 to 100
cans were rejected generally because of
leaks. The average rejection at the time
of the filling of the government order
was about the same as at other times.
He also helped unpack the meat returned
from the army. None of It was bad, ex
cept as resulted from accidental Injury to
the cans.
In reply to a question from Maj. Leo,
witness stated it appeared to him that
the meat returned from the South had
not been Inspected before being returned;
that the boxes did not Indicate any in
spection had taken place after the meat
had been shipped from the packing house
originally.
REJECTED MEAT RESOLD.
Henry N. Campbell, an employe of the
canning department, said that out of
about 6,000 eases packed daily under his
Inspection, an average of from 50 to 75
cans were rejected. Of the two carloads
returned from the army, but 70 to 80
cans were finally rejected after reinspec
tion at the plant. The rest was put back
In stock.
Gerald Miles, who worked In the label
room and had helped unpack the re
turned army beef, gave practically the
same testimony as Messrs. Ritchie, Tal
bott and Campbell, as to its condition on
receipt from the South. Replying to a
question directed to Maj. Lee, Miles said
that the labels on the meat furnished
the government were dated.
A. J. Bowie, of the packing department,
stated that out of fifty to sixty thousand
cans of meat of all kinds there was a
dally average rejection of from 200 to 450,
simply because of leaky cans. The re
jected meat was relnapected, the bad go-
Ing to the refuse tank, but the rest into
stock. The canned roast beef delivered
to the government, witness said, was
dated May, 1898. In reply to a question
by Maj. Lee, witness stated that the
cases containing the meat returned from
the army did not bear the name of the
United States purchasing officer. The
meat was in fair condition, and he be
lieved It had been Improperly rejected.
DEFECTIVE CANS.
S. I. Couts, a package room employe,
testified that an average of twenty cans
out of 300 cases were rejected dally be
cause of defective cans.
H. L. Antone, foreman at Armour's
canning department, who was yesterday
Instructed to bring into court the records
of cans rejected during May and June,
1698, was recalled. His reports were of
fered in evidence. One for May 11, read
by Recorder Davis, showed that of 2,690
cans of meat of all kinds put up that day,
238 were rejected, because of leaky cans,
or for other minor causes. Antone went
on to state that extreme precaution was.
exercised In filling the government or
ders. The meat for the government was
shipped as soon as canned. He said that
it is frequently the case that fine leaks in
the cans do not develop for three or four
days. Meat furnished the government
was put up In two and six-pound cans,
and all were dated. He was uncertain as
■ to the exact dates on which the two car
loads returned from the army were re
ceived. The court requested him to pro
duce documents covering such dates, and
a recess was taken.
ODOR OF MEAT BAD.
When liie court resumed its sitting, at
1 o'clock, Witness Antone presented
> checking lists, giving the dates of re
ceipt at Kansas City of the rejected
canned roast beef. The lists were of
fered in evidence, and showed that the
first lot of returned meat reached the
Armour plant In Kansas City on June
14, 1898, and came from Mobile. The sec
ond lot from Jacksonville reached here
July 27, IS9S. The whole amount re
turned from Mobile was 5,833 cans. Of
this number twenty-eight cans were
found to be bad; thirteen cans were good,
except that the cans had become dented]
the other fifteen stunk badly and wera
musty, and there were maggots in sev
eral. The cases from Mobile had never
been opened In the South. The whole
number of cans returned from Jackson
ville was 12,237. Of this number 276 were
bad, the cans bursted and the condi
tions generally the same as In the. lot of
spoiled stuff from Mobile. The cans from
Jacksonville had been taken from the
cases and carelessly thrown back into
the car.
At the request of Maj. Lee, witness de
scribed the difference between boiled and
canned roast beef, stating that they were
practically the same, except none of the
boiled been had been sold to the gov
ernment. He was unable to state by
whose order the beef had been returned
from the South.
BACON AS A SUBSTITUTE.
Frank S. Hastings, who has charge
of the salt meat department at Armour's,
was the last witness called. He was
questioned almost wholly by Maj. Lee.
He said he had been particularly inter
ested before the war In introducing a
certain brand of bacon manufactured by
his firm as an emergency ration. Sam
ples were submitted at Tampa, Chicka
mauga and to the commissary general.
Eased on these samples, ho had received
a few orders. The prices per pound va
ried from 10 to 16 cents, and were regu
lated by the market prices of hogs at
the time and the quality of meat used.
"In introducing this bacon was any
thing said about the Impracticability or
unsatisfactory results of furnishing
canned roast beef for Southern «iimates,
or that the beef was not as satisfactory
as the bacon?" Maj. Lee asked.
"Nothing whatever."
"Have you any knowledge of chemicals
having been used In the preservation of
meats— the U3e of borax or anything sim
ilar?"
"No, sir."
This ended the taking of testimony In
Kansas City, and at 2 o'clock the board
adjourned to meet at Fort Leavenworth,
Kan., at 7 o'clock in the evening.

ST. PI I Hill.
We particularly desire your trade. We have goods
you can use. They are reasonable in prices. You can
buy thoroughly well made JACKETS, SUITS,
SK9RTS and WAISTS of us that will STAND WEAR
(and you are necessarily harder on your wardrobe than
those who don't work). You will be waited on by skilled
women, who will give you eve: y 'attention. Now, why
shouldn't you trade with us in our Cloth Department ?
We have had your trade for many years in Furs because
you knew OUR Furs were good, and were, perhaps, afraid
of the other fellow.
We will accommodate you with credit if desired. We
have Jackets from $4.75 to $20, that no store can surpass
nor sell cheaper. We have Suits at $10 to $25 that we
know are not excelled in PR^CE VALUE by anybody
nor equaled in QUALITY by anybody.
Silk Waists at $4.75 to $10.00.
Wash Waists at $1.29 and upwards.
Such of you as work in retail stores and can get your
goods there and get a discount, we will give you the same.
In fact, to the CLERKS, Stenographers, Teachers, or
any woman who earns her living, we say trade with us.
We will treat you right, give you good values and be
pleased to have your business. £,Ast Fall we had such an
amount of this kind of trade — which must have come to
us purely on the msrits of our stock — that our attention
was called to the matter so that we want to have it well
understood that's the kind of trade we value most. WE
WANT YOU. Will you come and see us ?
RANSWIIRTON
and quality of meat furnished the men
and the effect it had upon their health.
In a general way the witnesses stated
that the meat served from Tampa to
Cuba was good, but became tiresome to
the men. Much of the canned beef served
in Cuba up to the time of the surrender
of Santiago was unfit for use, as was
about one-third of the refrigerator beef
later served at Camp Hamilton. Com
plaints among the men -were general and
much Bickness resulted.
Capt. Jacob S. Galbraith, of the First
United States cavalry, located at Fort
Robinson, Neb., whose command served
through the Cuban campaign believed the
canned meat had been preserved by
means of chemicals, but could not say
just what drugs might have been so
used.

STATEMENT OP THE NEW YORK
CLEARING HOUSE BETTER
THAN EXPECTED
SO SAYS THE -FINANCIER
On Its Face the Showing: Slight Be
Regarded as Dlscouragiiiß, bat
ClrcanutanceH and Conditions Al
fe-r the Situation Settlement of
Chicago and Alton Deal Required
a Large Sum of Money.
NEW TORK, March 18.— The Financier
says:
"The statement of the New York clear-
Ing house banks for the week ending
March JB, is not as unfavorable as the
changes at first sight might indicate. The
averages were made over a period cover
ing some unusually large operations, and
in addition to this the full effect of the
previous week's transfer of $6,000,000 of
Pacific payments to the treasury has been
included in tho current exhibit. This ac
counts in large part for the decrease of
over $6,000,000 in specie reported, although
it does not explain the contraction in
full, since one or more heavy consign
ments of specie have been received from
the West In the meantime.
"The settlement of the Chicago & Alton
deal was responsible for a great deal of
shifting of funds, and this doubtless has
had no small part in determining tho
character of the statement.
"An important feature of the report is
the construction of $3,593,900 in loans,
which in the last two weeks have fallen
off over $6,600,000. The higher rates ruling
In money perhaps Influenced some liquida
tion, but the consummation of several in
dustrial deals, and lessened stock ex
change transactions are to be taken into
account. The calling in of loans of course
strengthened the position of the banks.
"The decrease of $7,803,500 in deposits
lessened reserve liability more thans2.OoO,
--000, so that despite the loss of $6,000,000 in
cash the excess reserve is only a little
over $4,000,000 less. It is interesting to ob
serve that there was a slight increase In
legat tenders, showing the effect of money
that has been received from the interior.
"While it Is idle to predict what forth
coming bank statements may show, it is
yet true that the banks begin to recover
from their spring contraction about the
end of March, and from that time Into the
crop season, accumulate funds rapidly.
The money market, therefore, ought to
show decided ease within a very short
time. The decrease of over $500,000 in the
circulation of tho banks last week cer
tainly indicates a feeling that the mar
ket is not In a dangerous condition, for
if these were the cause, circulation would
expand rather than contract. The only
possible adverse far-tor is the demand
which would be made this summer on de
pository banks for the Spanish Indemnity
fund, but this will fall due when the
banks could spare even a larger amount
without feeling it seriously."
