MILES wanton
His ‘FIRST OFFICIAL ORDER.
It Is a Simple Announcement That He
II In Command—The Gold Situation.
Rights of the BannOcks-fGresh-
om’s Portrait Hung.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.—Genera1 Miles
Irrived in Washington from New York
Saturday afternoon. He was accompanied
by Mrs. Miles and Colonel Brook and
Captain Mitchler of his staff. Adjutant
General Ruggles met General Miles at the
station and accompanied him to the war
department. He paid a formal call on
Secretary Lamont, lasting a few minutes,
and then, repairing to his headquarters,
issued his first official order as follows:
HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY,
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.
General Order No. 54.
By direction of the president the under-
signed hereby assume command of the
army of the United States.
NELSON A. MILES, Major General.
General Miles has made no arrange-
ments for receiving the army officers on
duty in Washington, but it is understood
that they will pay their respects to him
His order announcing his aid de camps,
has not yet been prepared. .
Genoral Miles will make his home at
Arlington at present.
The Gold Situation.
The true amount of , the gold reserve al
the close of the Week was $93,006, 886. Of
this amount about $23, 000 was deposited
in the subtreasury at Philadelphia, $50, 000,
in Chicago, $35, 000 in St. Louis, about
$25, 000 at the several assay offices and
the balance-in smaller accounts at othel
subtreasuries. In nearly every oase‘silvc‘.
certificates of small denominations were
asked for and received in exchange for the
gold.
The present situation as to gold With-
drawals, as viewed at the treasury depart-
ment, is more hopeful than at any time
within the last several weeks, and, in the .
opinion of many, the reduction in the rate
of sterling ‘ exchange, the cessation of
withdrawals for export and the apparent];
increasing willingness of banks to ex-
change gold for nonlegal tenders clearly
indicate a return to normal conditions
and a turn in the tide of gold movements.
The reported arrival of $250, 000 in gold
from Europe, although comparatively an
insignificant amount, has strengthened
the belief that the drain of gold has ceased.
for a considerable time at least.
Bannock Indians’ Rights.
The government has taken steps to test
the Bannock Indians’ right under their
treaty right to hunt on unoccupied lands
in the state of Wyoming, the governor of
Wyoming, the secretary of the interior and
the attorney general having agreed to sub-
mit the questions involved to the courts
for determination.
To establish a. basis for a test case In]
dian Agent Tater, at Fort Hall reserva-
tion, with two Bannock Indians, went
upon unoccupied government lands in
Wyoming to hunt, and, according to the
requirements of the test case, the Indians
Were. promptly arrested and taken to
Evanston and were charged w1th viola-
tions of game laws of the state of Wyom-
ing. In further pursuance of the agree- '
ment Attorney General Harmon tele-
graphed the United States district attorney
to apply at once for a writ of habeas cor-
pus for the release of the prisoners. Thus
the question will be squarely brought be-
fore the court.
It is the contention of the government
that the treaty of July 3, 1868, with these
Indians secures to them the right to hunt
upon unoccupied government land in the
new state of Wyoming, and that this
treaty is superior to the laws enacted in
the state which are in conflict with it.
Gresliam’s Portrait Hung.
A fine life size portrait in oil of the late

no FIGHT IN" CUBA ‘
srAE’vmc IN NEW YORK.
Pathetic and Dramatic Scene In an East
Side Police Station.
NEW YORK, Oct. 7.——Pa1o and weak.
scarcely able to drag one foot after the
other, a woman stumbled up the stairs oi
the Delancoy Street police station last
night, and with a low moan sank on her
knees before the sergeant’s desk. In her
arms she carried a puny child. so weak
and won that Sergeant Hatton went from
behind the desk and took it from the
woman, believing at first that it was dead.
The woman told that she had lived at
556 Delancey street; but, as she was a
widow and had difficulty in buying food,
let alone pay rent, she had been put out
of‘ the house. Hcr child, she said, had
been sick ever since it was born, four years
ago. She had gone to Gouverneur’ hos-
pital earlier in the night, but there, she
said, they would not take the child. So
she had gone on, dragging her way
through the streets, until she had come to
the station.
“If you Cannot give me relief of some
kind here,” she moaned, “there is noth-
ing left for me but the river."
There was the suggestion of tears in the
eyes of Sergeant Halter: as he listened to
the woman‘s story, and when she spoke of
the river he cried out:
“Don‘t talk of rivers. You’ll get relief,
and you’ll get it here, and quick too.”
Then he sent a call to Gouvérneur hos-
pital for an ambulance in a hurry and led
the woman to the rear room.
Dr. Isiurphy responded with the ambu-
lance, but be said it was not possible for
him to take the child.
Sergeant Hutton get excited. ”What,”
he gasped, “that child is dying! Can’t
you see that?” Then he fairly yelled,
“You’ve got to lake the little one!”
But the surgeon did not, he could not,
and would have left the station but that
the sergeant stood before him and barred
his way as he said in a manner determined:
“That ambulance don’t leave this door
without the child!” So there was nothing
left for the sorgoon to do but get the little
infant into the ambulance. The mother
cried a good deal when the baby had gone,
but the sergeant comforted her and put
some money into her thin hand. Then
he sent apatrolinan with her to the Union
Market station, with directions that the
matron there was to look after her for the
night at least.
THE TRIAL OF DURANT.
A Student 'iVitnesn Who May Shatter the
Attempt to Prove an Alibi.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 7.—-'Ihe prosecu-
tion in the Durant case is said to have in
its possession information which will
finally shatter the last remnant of the
alibi which Durant’s attorneys have at-
tempted to prove.
W. R. Dorr, a student in the Cooper
Medical college. sat alongside of Durant
at the lectures. When examined with the
other members of the class, Dorr testified
that he did not know whether Durant was
present at the afternoon lecture on April
3 or not. Dorr’s father, who is a physi-
cian, informed the police, howevei,‘ that
in his own home and to the members of
his own family yourg Dorr stated that on
the afternoon of April 3 Durant’s seat was
occupied by a student named E. Barry.
He added that the student who that after
noon answered to Durant’s name occupied
one of the rear seats in the classroom.
The communication made in his own
family was not accompanied by any in-
junction of secrecy. It was not until all
the students, including Dorr, on the wit-
ness stand had denied knowledge of the
important fact of Durant’s presence or ab
sense that those who had heard the story
concluded to communicate with the dis
trict attorney. It is presumed that Dorr,
in common with other of Durant’s fellow
students, desired as far as possible to pro-
tect their former classmate, and so avoided
answering pertinent questions by respond-
ing, “1 do not know.”
It is now considered certain that Dorr
will be recalled to the stand and required
to tell all the truth concerning the events
in the college classroom on the fatal after-
noon of April 3.
An Old Lady. Sufl‘ocatoxl.
STAPLETON, N. Y., Oct. 7.—Mrs. Fran-
ces J. Lawrence, who resided with her
,son, Joseph D. Lawrence, :1 New York
5 broker, on Grymes hill, at this place, was
turning from his work, at a desk in the .
diplomatic room. His left arm rests on '-
the desk top and his right upon his knee.
The great brown eyes, which were the
most striking feature of Secretary Gresh-
am’s countenance, are painted with mar-
velous fidelity to nature. The picture
was hung on the west wall between por-
traits of Thomas Jefferson and William
Seward in a place made by the removal
of Daniel Webster’s portrait to the east
wall alongside of Lord Ashburton. Mr.
Pebbles began this picture in the spring
of 1894, and the last sitting was had only
two weeks before Secretary Gresham’s
last illness. .
. Castle .lnformally Received.
Mr. Castle, the newly appointed minis-
ter from Hawaii, has been informally re-
ceived by Secretary Olney for the transaé-
tion of all routine diplomatic business be-
tween the two republics pending his for-
mal ofiicial reception by the president.
The new minister arrived in this country
several weeks ago, but in the absence
from the capital of the president and the
secretary of state he then made no attempt
to present his credentials. Since his ar-
rival in the east he has spent most of his
time in Massachusetts in close communi—
cation with Mr. Hastings, who had been
in charge of the aflairs of the Hawaiian le-
gation in the United States ever since the
resignation of Minister Thurston as a re-
sult of personal differences with the late
Secretary Gresham.

Spanish Advices Call It the Bloodicst
Battle of the Campaign. '
MAGEO REPORTED WOUNDED.
l‘he Insurgent General Said to Have Fallen
at the} Head of His Command and to
Have Been Seriously Injured—Gen-
eral Rolofl Reported Dead. '
HAVANA, Oct. 7.-—'.I'he most bloody bat-
tle of the present war was fought recently
in the country between Sea Arriba and
San Fernando, in the Holgujin district of
Santiago de Cuba. The insurgents were
commanded by General Antonio Macao,
while the Spanish troops were commanded
by General Exchague.
The insurgents, numbering 8,000 in-
fantry and 600 cavalry, laid in wait for
General Exohague, who put in an appear-
ance at the head of 1,300 infantry and 300
cavalry. The Spanish troops also pos-
sessed one field cannon.
General Exchague distributed his men
in admirable fashion and arranged to fall
at certain specified times upon the posi-
tions held by; the insurgents. The revo-
lutionists, aware of General Exehague‘s
movements, arranged fora strong outpost
to check the impetuosity Of the Spanish
troops.
The regular Spanish forces paid very
little attention to the small body of men
'stationed at the outposts and rushed to
the main force wherever and whenever
the insurgents could be found. The in.
surgents made a' desperate resistance,
which lasted seven hours.
The charges of the insurgent cavalry
upon the Spanish squares were not as
effective as in other smaller conflicts pre-
viously reported. The Spanish cavalry
held these attacking parties at bay, and it
seemed as though the Spanish artillery
was more deadly to the insurgents than
formerly. '
:Maceo Seriously Wounded.
Finally General Antonio Macao, seeing
his men in a. critical situation, rushed to
the front with his staff. He had scarcely
taken a position in front of the line when
he fell, seriously wounded. His followers
at once placed him on stretchers, and they
succeeded in carrying him oil the field.
As soon as it was known that General
Antonio Maceo had been wounded in the
conflict all was confusion in the ranks of
the insurgents, who, according to official
advices received here, were put to flight,
leaving upon the field 20 killed and sev-
eral wounded.
Spanish officials estimate that before
Maceo fell seriously injured fully 180 dead
and wounded insurgents were carried
from the field. These officials also assert
that many of the insurgents surrendered,
discouraged by the defeat and the wound-
ing of Maceo, and they expect that others
will also give themselves up.
Colonel Durango also fought the band
of Bermudez at Gereda del Cuero, province
of Santa Clara. Three of the insurgents
and four of the troops are reported to have
been killed. Colonel Tovar was wounded.
He also fired on the insurgents at Bayon-
sesa and Mendleta. Lieutenant Zuaguin
Vidal was wounded.
Rolofi‘ Reported Killed"
Private advices received here report that
the insurgent General Roloff died on Fri-
day a week ago from putrid dysentery. It
is added that his remains were buried on
the following Saturday, the funeral being
attended by a large number of insurgent-s.
General Carlos iloloif landed on ’t-he
south coast of Santa. Clara province in
July with a lot of dynamite as well as a
force of men and a large supply of arms
and ammunition.
As soon as he established a camp in the
neigh borhoed of Santo Espiritu he issued
a proclamation oil'ering Spanish soldiers
$500 bounty and $2 a. day for the war to
join him.
Then he began blowing up railway
bridges. public works and fortifications in
his path with dynamite.
Still They Come. .
MADRID, Oct. 7.—-General Azcarraga,
the minister Of war, states that 25 bat-
talions will shortly be dispatched to Cuba
for the purpose of suppressing the insur-
rection. It is reported here that Pacorecio,
the insurgent, is dead.

HAVANA, Oct. 7.—-Admiral Imas, com-
mander of the Spanish naval’ forces here,
says the report circulated in Madrid that
the Spanish cruiser Conde de Venadits
had foundered in Cuban waters is posi-
tively untrue. ,
