12 THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY. JULY 9, 1898 STORY BRANDED AS ENTIRELY UNTRUE Third Brlxade Will Not Da Sent to Hie Hawaiian lilanda. IT IS TUB NEXT BIUOADE SCHED ULED TO MOVE, HOWIH'EH, AND ITS DESTINATION W1M rKOB ABLT BE CUHA-aENi:itAL GOBIN HAS ORDERED A TWO DAYS' PRACTICE MARCH TO BEGIN MON-DAT-CAVALR ARRIVED FROM MOUNT GRETNA. Bpsclal from a Start Correspondent, Camp Alger, Vo., July 8. The great est sensation that lins struck Camp Alger slnco the Thirteenth came hero, watf the rumor, persistently circulated during the early morning hours, nnd seemingly confirmed Inter In the morn ing, by the appsarnnce of the same etory In a' Philadelphia paper, to the effect that the entire Third brlg.tde. of which the Thirteenth Is a iMrt, wan to be sent at onco to occupy Honolulu, Hawaii, to prevent any trouble from European nations, when tha United States annexes the Islands. The rumor would not down, nnd even the newspaper men thought there must certainly be something In it, un til about noon, when both General Oobln and General Hutlcr, command ing the division, stated with a great degree of emphasis that It wus a fake, pure and simple. The men greeted the rumor, however, with many evidences of Joy, and were visibly disappointed when the.v vi-:re assured later in the day that they would not be sent across the Pacific. General Gobin said that he would be only too glad to receive such an order, and could move his brigade within twenty-four hours. General Gobin has issued orders for a two days march to the Potomac, be ginning Monday morning. This is of itself proof of the fallacy of the Ha waii story. It may be that the Pcnnsylvaninns will go to Hawaii eventually but the chances at present favor their being sent to Cuba. General Graham said today unreservedly to a number of of ficers of the First division that the re maining two brigades would follow the Second, which is now enroute to San tiago. Nothing positive, however, can be eald of these matters in advance because War department plans change with every wind. This much is cer tain, the Third brigade is to be sent away ftom here and will probably be next to move. A large number of school teachers visited the quail ers of the Thirteenth during the day, and were greatly In terested in the life under canvas. Tills morning, the City troop, of Philadel phia, the Governor's troop of Harris burg, and the Sheridan troop, of Ty rone, Pa., arrived in camp from Mt. Gretna. They were given a cordial welcome, especially by Troop A and Troop C, of New York, who have been here for some time. The health of the Thirteenth con tinues excellent, and the men who arc In the hospital, both at division and Fort Myer hospital, are reported im proving rapidly. This morning opened bright and fair over the camp, and promptly at C.30 o'clock the whole drill Held was alive with bodies of soldiers from the differ ent regiments, moving hither and thither in company and battalion evo lutions. Skirmish drills are now prac tically superceding all others, and the greatest care and attention are paid to this particular kind of practice. The sham battle has practically fallen Into disuse, and the blank cartridges which were formerly employed for that pur pose are now used for firing in the skir mish drills. This Is the dally routine from which there is now little or no variance. Yesterday afternoon Lieutenant Cox received from the Frankfort ursenal a consignment of 248 scabbards for the now Webb belt. These will be distrib uted at once, and it is expected that in a short time the remainder of this very Important part of a soldier's out fit will be received. The Scranton teachers have arrived In Washington and have already be gun to storm the camp. They have promised that they will bo out in a body tomorrow to see the Scranton boys of the regiment, and to gladden their friends here by their presence. The boys have resolved to give them a royal welcome nnd to make their visit htVo as pleasant as possible under all the conditions and conveni ences which camp life offers. T. J. Duffy.

Nntlonnl Shnrpsliootrrs Union nt Ctctidiilu I'nrk. New York, July 8. The triennial shooting tournament of the National Sharpshooters' union of Amerlca.w'hlch haa been In progress at Glendale park, L. I., since Sunday last is rapidly drawing to a close. A little more than two days remain for the 2,000 or more competitors who have now been In the ranges nlmost continuously for six days, to Improve their present figures. Some of tho cracks who have been hanging back made their appearance today and as a result a few more new records were created. The best work for the day at the standard target was credited to Stephen J. Lyon, of Colllnsvllle, Conn., who scored 4S points, which Is an al most phenomenal total at this target, considering that the limit score Is CO points. Joseph Singers, of Los An geles, Cal,, Is now In second place with a double score ot 47 points. L. P. Ittel nnd Dr. W. H. Taylov, of Pittsburg, are tied for third and fourth places, with slncle scores of 47 points each. Nearly every marksman who has at tended the tournament has tried his skill at the range target of honor. Only three shots are allowed to each competitor. Today E. D. Payne, of Cincinnati. O., passed all the leaders and broke all previous records with a score of 70 points out of a possible total of 73. Payne also made the best shot at the German stock target dur ing the afternoon's shooting, scoring an almost perfect center. J. S. Dillon, of Ardmore, Pa., still leads at the point target, with a bull's eye at four degrees. A. W. Hoffman, of the Williamsburg rifle club of Brook lyn, follows with a 54 degree bull's eye. John Rebham's score of 9S at the man target is still unbeaten. Louis Flaeh, of tho Zettler rifle club of New York, today rattled off a score of 74 points at the ring target. It Is hardly probable that this score will bo beaten or even equalled, as tho limit Is 75 points. B0URQ0QNE SURVIVORS. Thoy Arrlvo nt New York Cliy.-No I'ormnl Cnmplnlnln. Boston, July S. All of the survivors of the Ill-fated La Bourgogne arrived In this city this morning from Halifax, where they landed. Of this number 102 came by the steamer Halifax, and the other two, Mr. and Mrs. La Casse, of Plalnfleld, N. J., arrived about the same time by train. The survivors were met at the wharf by the representatives of the steam ship company, and, after breakfast, served on the boat, special cars car lied the passengers and crew tq the Park Square station, where the ma jority took the forenoon train to New York. A number stayed over for the afternoon train, but all had left the city by night. During the voyage from Halifax to Boston the Indignation among the pas sengers over their experiences seemed to be growing, and there was much talk of lodging complaints with the proper officials, but no complaint was made here. New York, July S. The survivors of the steamship La Bourgogne arrived here today from Boston and were tak en in charge by the Companle Trans Atlantlque officers. There was n large crowd at the Grand Central station to meet the survivors. Many of them were there to welcome friends who had escaped and others to get Information of friends or relatives who had been aboard the ill-fated steamship when she sank. The survivors of the crew of La Bourgogne as they passed through the station were hissed by the crowd. AMERICAN RABBIS. Ulllcers Elected nt tlin Ninth Annual Meeting. Atlantic City, N. J., July S.

The six. round go at the Arena tonight between Ben Jor dan, of England, and Ellwood McClnskey, of this city, was a disappointment. Tho bout was n scries of clinches, during which the Englishman landed repeatedly on McCloskey's wind, tho referee mak Ing no effort to Interrupt the clinching.

NOTICE TO REPUBLICANS "TO PRE PARE" THE ARMY DIVIDED AS TO ITS ALLEGIANCE-STRENGTH OF THE PENINSULA ARMY EX PECTED TO REACH 220,000-THE GOVERNMENT BELIEVED TO WANT A PRETEXT TO ARREST WEYLER. London, July 8. A speRnl dispatch from Madrid, reviewing the situation, says: "All Spain now knows of her defeat, and the people are beginning to realize the magnitude of the dis aster. The Conservative press exhorts good citizens to maintain pence. An Important clrculur has been sent to all the Republican organs, signed by the leaders and bearing the motto 'Pre pare.' In tho meanwhile extraordinary military precautions have been taken to quell any Internal troubles. "General Correa, the minister of war, and his secretaries, are working day and night. A second call has been Is sued for the Canary Island reserves, and additional forces of home Infantry and cavalry are being raised, while the artillery is being augmented by two pieces to each battery. "The peninsula armies will aggre gate 220,000 men by July 15. The rail roads arc preparing war trains on all lines and carriages are In readiness at all the garrison stations. "A high authority, however, ex presses the opinion that the rank nnd file of the soldiery are Inclined to con demn the war and feel they are being driven to bloodshed for unjust causes by scheming politicians, nnd he there fore doubts the army's attitude In the event of civil troubles. "The ofllcers, too, while nnxlous for war, are divided on the question ot loyalty to the various claimants to thG throne. This question of succession Is an Important factor In a terribly tense situation. It is believed the govern ment Is nnxlous to find a pretext to arrest General Weyler, fearing the part he might play In the event of troubles breaking out." SPAIN'S PERSISTENCE. No Knowledge of Ponco Negotiations lit tlin London Rmbimay. London, July S. The officials of the Spanish embassy here say they have no knowledge of any peace negotia tions being on foot at present. A despatch from the United States, declaring the Americans are unnble to capture Santiago de Cuba and that "the perpetual strain has broken the men's nerves and constitutions, bring ing them to the verge of disaster, un less reinforced," Is published conspic uously here nnd has also been tele graphed to Madrid. The Times today publishes a long letter from one of Its correspondents, K. W. Knight, dated from Havana on June 6, In which the writer gives de tails of his ditllcult landing in Cuba, experiences in prison and release. In regard to the situation In Havana, Mr. Knight says he found the city In a very different condition than that de scribed In the American press, and that tho town is perfectly quiet. He says that there are no signs of popu lar excitement and no Intimation of a general massacre of foreigners, which has been foretold. Mr. Knight also says there are no signs of famine In Havana, though he admits It Is true that provisions are very dear and that there Is distress nmong the poor, who are without work, owing to the block ade. But he adds that the distress Is no greater than that sometimes ex perienced In London. Of the present attitude of the popu lation, civil and military, the Time's correspondent says he can hardly speak too highly, adding: "There Is no excitement and no fear; but a dig nified, calm resolve to defend the country bravely. All here eagerly de sire an American force to land in Cuba in order to try conclusions In a fair fight with the Spanish troops. Tho latter, 1 think, will give a good ac count of themselves when the time comes." MAKER DEFEATS QODDARD. The Affair Coiiicn in nn End at the Eighth Hound, New York, July 8. Peter Maher de feated Joe Goddurd in eight rounds tonight at vthe Lenox Athletic club. They had been scheduled to fight twen-ty-fivo rounds with live-ounce gloves. Goddurd had defeated Maher on two previous occasions nnd was the favor ite among the sporting clement pre vious to the fight. A large number of prominent sporting men were In at tendance, nnd the usual preliminary talks of proposed fights were Indulged in, but no match was made. Goddard administered a lot of hard punishment on his ndversary, but re ceived a terrific pounding while he was doing so. Goddard was out a couplo of times, but the bell saved him, and when he quit towards the end of tho eighth round he was scarce ly able to stand on his feet. At the same time the fast work which both had gone through from the beginning had told on Maher, and he was unable to land a blow heavy enough to finish the Australian. The opening bout was between Otto Selloff, of Milwaukee, and Tom Kerns, of Boston. They met at 133 pounds nnd were to box twelve rounds. They started In at a very lively pace, and at tho end of the second round Kerns lay helpless in a neutral corner und his seconds had to carry him to his corner. In the meantime tho referee awarded tho fight to Selloff. At 12 o'clock Goddard arrived at tho ringside and took his seat In the south west corner. His seconds were Billy Lecdon, Paddy Gorman, Robert Kirk Patrick and Frank Ecock. Maher fol lowed In less than a minute, accom panied by Esquire "Buck" Connolly, "Spike" Sullivan, Peter Lowry and Peter Burns. Maher wore black trunks and a big green bolt. Goddard's weight was said to ho 177 pounds and Maher 171. Charley White was the referee. BAQQAQE AQENTS MEET. Mnko Ilulai noun-ding Transporta tion ofDend llodlea. WIlkcB-Bnrre, July 8.

AMERICAN FORTITUDE. From the Toronto Globe. Tho Americans are giving ample proof that they have In them the stuff out of which soldiers are made, bearing them selves cheerfully under the trying climate of Cuba and bravely In the face of tho. foe. There Is a certain lightness of heart In the American chnracter which must be taken Into account If a fair Judgment Is to be made. David Christie Murray tells how ho received a sort of shock on rending In a Chicago newspaper's account of a lire that u corpulent lady had been carried out of the building "nil In one load." These words were probably writ ten rather In lightness of heart than In hardness of heart, and onr can easily imagine that they might have originated with tho rescued person herself. In read ing the American newspapers, with their too frequent excursions into people's private affairs and their free comments thereon, wo must always make allow ance for a certain levity and reckless ness In which there Is no clement of mal ice. Tho subject of death seems to have a strange attraction for the American Imagination; It is a matter on which they seem equally rendy to become sentimen tal or to Jest. These characteristics must bo borne In mind in considering the con duct of the American people In regard to the present war. If they rushed Into It without weighing consequences, and with a lightheadedness that seemed to border on levity and wantonness, It must be ndded that gaiety and recklessness do not forsake their soldiers on the field, In the face of hardship nnd peril, of disease and death. They remind one of Macaulay's Frenchmen, who "looked death In the face with gay and festive Intrepidity." m ' Cnmnrn Returns. Suez, Juiy S.
