Troops on Uuiy.

' Guantanamo, Cuba, Jan. 25.--A Cu-
ban captain, Scralin ,Planch, who ap-
plied lor and“obtamed work on the
Santa Cocilla sugar plantation, near
Guantanamo, harangued the workmen
at noon yesterday “and ordered them
to leave work, undfir penalty 01’ arrest
and trial by court martial of the Cu-
ban army.

The American troops Who were
guarding the plantation, arrested
Planch and brought him to Guantana-
mo. On the way he told them that
he had acted under the orders of his
.own ofilcers, though he refused to
give names. . '

Lieutenant Colonel Ray; who is .-in

I command of the United States forces

in-this district, says that the action
of Planch is by no‘means an isolated
case.
bands of insurgents who refuse to
disarm, and whose officers will ,only
permit their men to work three days
a week, compelling them to report at
their camps for duty on the other
four.

Lieutenant Colonel Ray' says that
several of these people, tiring of the
tyranny of their officers, have applied
to him for protection, which has been
invariably, granted.

Twenty-three plantations in the Gu-
antanamo district are now guarded by
the United States troops, the work en—

' gaging the greater part of Lieutenant

Colonel Ray’s regiment, in addition to

Baracoa and Sagua de Tanamo. He
says that 'he cannot understand their
motives in burning the plantations,
unless it is that they are trying to
keep the district unsettled.f These in-
surgent bands are extremely impu—
dent. '

Major. Edward Vv'ilson of Ray‘s regi-
ment, who was recently questioned re—
garding a shortage in his accounts,
,admits this amount to be about twu
hundred dollars, and has tendered a
check\ for the deficit. He insists that
the deficit was due to carelessness, but
he has been placed under arrest and
may be charged by Lieutenant Colon-“l
Ray with conduct unbecoming an ofii-
cer and a gentleman.

There has been considerable sickness
among the troops in the Guantanamo
district, .many‘of the men suffering
from malarial fever. Lieutenant Colo—
nel Bay will recommend the removal
of the main garrison to a point in~ the
mountains, twenty-seven miles distant,
where the Spanish authorities were ac.-
customed to send troops fresh from
Spain, and where fevers are practically
unknown.

Owing to the number of men dis-
charged and on the sick list, the regi-
ment is in bad shape now numerically,
but the officers believe that. if the rec-
ommendation for removal is approved,
the number of sick will be reduced by
one-half in less than a month.

Drowned in the Hudson.

Newburgh. N. Y., Jan. 25.—-VValter
Watts, aged seventeen, and Miss Mary
Sinclair, aged eighteen, of this city,
were drowned Monday night in the
Hudson river near New Windsor.,

With six other young people they
had skated to Cornwall, four miles
distant, and were returning. On their
way down the party crossed a crack
in the ice a foot wide without difficulty,
the tide being ebb. When they re-
turned. the tide in the meantime hav-
ing changed, the ice floe was separat-
cd from the main body, leaving a wide
space of open water. .

Watts and the girl were some dis-
tance ahead of the others. They saw
the open water, but supposing it to
be “black ice,” they skated into it and
were drowned. Watts might have

. saved himself had he released his held

on the girl.
The Military Congressmen.

Y’v’ashington, D. C., Jan. 25.--The in-
quiry by the committee on judiciary
ordered by the House of Representa-
tives as to what members were hold-
ing outside offices, loriginally intended
to determine the status of Major Gen-
eral Joseph Wheeler and other mem-
bers in the army, began yesterday.

The inquiry was public, and besides
the members of the committee there
were present General Wheeler, Repre-
sentative I-Iitt of Illinois, the members
of the Hawaiian commission, Repre-
sentative Moody of Massachusetts, a
member of the postal commission. and
Representative Otjen of Wisconsin, 3.
member of the industrial commission.

' Representative Gardner of. New Jer-

sey, a. member of the induStrial com-'
mission, submitted a brief as to The
right of members on that commission
to hold their'places.

A Battle 111 Bolivia. _
Lima,‘Peru, Jan. 25.—-According to
advices received 'here .from the Desa-
guadero district, or inter—Alpine vval-
ley, in Bolivia and Peru, under date
of January 22, a fierce battle tool;
place on January 17'at Curl Bay, thir-
teen leagues from La Paz. the nominal
capital of Bolivia, between the van—

. guard of the Federalist troopsLOr in-

surgents, who now occupy La Paz,
and the vanguard of the forces com-
manded by President Alonzo, with the
result that the latter were defeated
with the loss of a colonel and forty~
three men killed. . The insurgents also
captured sixty prisoners.

It is added that. desertious from the
president’s troops are occurring every
day. . ,

Crew or the Philadelphia. ' '

San Diego, (3:11., Jan. 25.—-Since the
arriVal of the cruiser Philadelphia,
now in the harbor here, nearly thirty
members of the crew have deserted,
and of these eighteen have been recap- -
tured.

The men are in‘ a very bitter frame
of mind. They say that they were do-
nied shore-leave while at Central Am:
ei-lcan and Mexican ports, but prom-
ised it when they should reach an

 

 

American pert, but since arriving here.
very few have been permitted to come
ashore.

WILD DAY ON STOCK EXCHANGE.

 

All Records _ Broken in the Way 0!
- Speculation. _ . _
NeW'York, Jan. 24.--Such a day as
yesterday was on the Stock- Exchange
has not been witnessed for many years
if indeed it ever has been before. ‘It-
smashes not only the record—so fre-
quently smashed of late fromday to
day—inthe number of transactions, but
in the big jumps in prices up and down
and~ in the confused and sensational
condition of the market the whole day
through there is no recollectibn even
among old time brokers to compare
with it.

London contributed its quota toward
the. general mixup, for that market,
too; was something of a. bear garden,
and the cables reported everybody
abroadas climbing over each other to
gather in the stocks which only a
week ago they were selling to us at the
rate of 40,000 a. day., -

The mad sun dance of crazed Indi-
ans never made a. wilder scene than
was witnessed by the spectators in the
Stock Exchange galleries at the open-
ing. For violent} fluctuations, enor-
mous transactions and intense excite-
ment, comparison can only be made
with some of the panic days following
the Baring failure in 1890, and the pub-
lication of President. Cleveland’s letter
{to Congressionithe Venezuelan question '.
in 1893. . . ‘

As is always the case in an. excited
market, stocks were to a ,great extent
influenced by rumors of all kinds. Ex-
travagant reports 'find. ready ears
when stocks are jumping up or down
two or three points between trades. The
most talked of of the stories was that

derbilt linesto form a trans-continen-
tal system, which has been repeatedly
denied from official sources, but is
still given credit, and that concerning
the relation of the Pennsylvania. road‘
to the Panhandle, it being claimed
that the two systems are’now more
closely linked than ever before. '

House Proceedings. .

W'ashington, D. 0., Jan. 24.-—In the
House yesterday an attempt was made
to pass under unanimous consent the
bill extending to the Hawaiian islands
the provisions of the anti-contract la-
bor laws, but objection was made.

The day being set apart for legisla-
tion affecting the district of Columbia,
bills reported by the district committee
were taken up. '

- The following measures were passed:
To incorporate the American Social
Service Association, to regulate the
height of buildings in the district, to
cause the removal of weeds from va-
cant lots in Washington, to change the
proceedings governing the admission
of patients to the government hospital
for the insane.

Little Metal in the Shamrock.

Glasgow, Jan. 24.--Sir Thomas Lip-
ton has requested the Glasgow Citizen
to contradict the misleading state-
ments which have been published re-
garding the new racing cutter Sham-
rock, which is to Contest for the Am-
erica’s cup.« ‘

Many new ideas have been suggested
he says, and in some cases they have
been adopted in the construction of
the cup challenger,'bu-t the issue at
stake is too great to induce the de-
signer and builder of the cutter to ex-
periment to any extent.

While the new boat is expected to be
constructed on improved lines in com-
parison with the alkyrie III, there will

be comparatively little metal used in ‘

the construction of the Shamrock.

 

Spaniih Governor Murdered.

London, Jan.._~24.--A dispatch from
Victoria, Island 'of Labuan, under yes-
terday’s date, announces the arrival
there of the steamship Lafbuan-fmm
Palawan island, Malay archipelago,
bringing news of'the murder by na-
tives of the Spanish governor and
other public officers of Palawan ‘as
they were leaving church. ,

The commander of the Labuan, Cap.-
tain Pfort, had an interview with the
leaders of the natives and obtained
the release of the Spanish governor’s
wife, the \\ omen belonging to the
households of the other murdered of-
ficers and a number of other prisoners,
all of whom are safe at Saudakan.

For Rifles of Uniform Calibre. _
Washington, .Jan. 24.--The_ House
committee on naval affairs has repor-
ted favoraly a resolution authorizing
the appoint ent of a special commit—
tee of five embers of the House, to.
investigate the difference in calibres
of the rifles used by the army and
navy and to devise a plan for'bringing
about uniformity.
The object oi} the investigation is to
secure. interchangeability of ammuni-
tion. '

Colon Strike Continues Bitter.

Colon, Colombia, Jan. 24.--A public
meeting of the striking wharf laborers 1
was held here yesterday. A Wesleyan
clergyman addressed the meeting and
advised the men to return to work; ‘
The laborers, however, decided to con-.
tinue the strike..

The men have all been ordered to
leave Fortune island, and the strikers
are gathering in large numbers in the
streets. The situation is very criti-
cal. ’

 

No Mine: g.’ Strike Expected.

Pittsbuz‘g, Pa, Jan. 24.-The miners'
sub—scale committee is ,still in session,
and there is no change in the situation
in the convention.

It is practically settled that the Illi—‘
nois delegation. will agree to the terms
already accepted by Pennsylvania and
Ohio, but before. doing so will state in
convention its reasons for. violating
the iron—clad. instructionsof its con-
stituent's. . 1

The Osage Indians are probably the
wealthiest people per capita'on earth,
are aristocrats and scorn manual Ia.
bor, according to Agent Pollock’s an-
nual report to rthe Interior Depart-
ment. Ellhey own over 800 acres or‘
land for each man, woman and child,
each receiving an annuity or over $203
in cash.

As an illustration, if an Indian and
his wife have eight children, the an-
nual cash. income of the family is
over $2,000. - Rather leading this white
brother in this respect, he prefers the
conveniences, luxuries and dissipa-
tions of village life to agricultural avo-
catlon. He loves to sing and dance
and rest, and he has plenty of money
to support his I ily in idleness...

AT TIMES IT IS WORSE.

Anyone who is obliged to take Cod liver oil
will find certain days when it is impossible to
swallow the greasy, vile-tasting mixture. Es-
pecially in warm weather, or on a mild day,
does cod liver oil become doubly obnoxious.
Because Vinol contains none of the unneces-
sary grease or fat, but does contain the active
curative principles of the cod’s liyer, it is
bound to revolutionize the science of medicine.

Mr. Harris Chadwell, a. chemist of Ames-
bury, Mass., writes in this connection:

“Vinol is of particular advantage in warm

.weather, or on mild days, when sufferers of
wasting diseases particularly need their medi-
Vcine. At such times Our heretofore best known
remedy for such diseases, cod liver oil, had to
be abandoned. Now no interruptions is ex-
perienced, for with Vinol, without the grease,
a patient can take his medicine in all weather,
and thus doubly insure himself of a. cure.”

We have found that many peoglle with tend-
dencies to wasting diseases took incl alllast
summer. The consequences is that they im-
proved in a manner that would not have been
possible with cod liver oil in its old form.
