PANTHER MUTINY.
The Story Concerning Dissatisfaction

Philadelphia, July 3. Lieutenant
Commander AVnrd, the commander of

crew were put In Irons whlloon the voy
age fiom San Juan. In denying the
report Commander Ward said:
"There Is not a word of tiuth In It.
We have had absolutely no trouble of
any kind. Tho men have been con
tented nnd wo have had only three
desertions In seven months out of a.
ciew of 232 men. There has never
been a complaint ns to the food which
has been at all times good nnd tho
men have been satlslled with the qual
ity ns well as with tho quantity."
Commander Wnid procluccd tho rcc
oids of the ship to substantiate his
denials. The recoids showed that only
live men had ommlttcd offenses requir
ing punishment nnd these few offences
weie all of a most tilvlal eh.uaeter.
The members of the ciew, as well as
Commander Waul nie indignant that
such a story should be printed nnd
they emphatically declare their wasn't
the slightest occuuence on the trip
which would give base for the reports
of tioublo contained in tho publica

CELEBRATION OF

GEN. WHEELER AND MR. SMITH
GUESTS AT OMAHA.
Both Are Given an Enthusiastic Re
ception by tho Largo Ctowd Pres
ent Remarks by Postmaster Gen
eral Charles Emoty Smith A
Glance nt the Philippines The
Duty of Our Government.
Omaha, July 3. "Santiago day" wus
celebrated today at the Greater Ameri
can exposition. The guests of honor for
the occasion weie Postmaster Geneial
Charles i:morv Smith nnd Mujor Gon
eral Joseph Wheelei. They weie both
given a most enthusiastic reception by
tho largo crowd In attendance. Mi.
Smith, In the course of his speech, said:
"This Intense nctivlty nt home, this
unlveisal employment of laboi, this
great and Inci easing prospeiity go on
undisturbed, although we aie engaged
In a serious conflict S,000 miles away.
The contest in the Philippines has not
affected our unparalleled industrial re
vlval or our matchless piospeilty. In
tiuth, the tremendous events of the
past year have aided In awakening our
domestic nctlvltles, for they have lifted
the curtain nnd revealed now outlets
for trade and commeice, and even this
tioublo In the Philippines would not
have come If the action of the govern
ment had been left unhainpeied and
unembairassed. Its success where It
hnd ft oe hands was unlimited nnd uti
denled. Its victory in the war with
Spain stands unequalled. You will
seaich the unnals of history In vain for
.1 parallel to Its swiftness of execution
and Its completeness of triumph It
was as skillful In making peace us in
waging war The treaty of Paris was
also negotiated with cxtiaordlnaiy
abllltj, piomptness and Judgment.
"Up to that point theie was no Haw
In the sweep of success. Had tho tieaty
been promptly nnd unanimously iatt
fied ns It ought to hae been, there
would hae been no conflict. The
treaty was sent to the sennte cnily In
December. Then, and for nearly two
months after that time, peace and ol
der prevailed. There was no outbreak
till Fohiuary. The soveielgnty of tin
United States, established and leeog
nl7ed by the treaty, was accepted But
the manifestations of opposition In the
senate Incited and emboldened opposi
tion in the Philippines and the contest
of nearly two months nt Washington
cieated a new and unneccsniy contest
around Manila.
Duty of the Government.
"When that contest .imo, the gov
ernment had but ono couise and one
duty. It was under obligation to sup
pi es the Insurrection of the T.igals in
Luzon just as much as It would bo to
suppiess the tevolt of an Indian tilbe
In Idnho or Wyoming. We owe It to
the world which recognizes our suprem
acy and expects us to see me peace and
maintain law and ordei We owe it to
our own soveielgntj and wo owe it to
the interests nnd w ell-being of the
rillplnos themselves. We have no war
with the Filipinos Our conflict Is only
with the single tribe of Tagals, which,
because of encouragement fiom seune
of out own people and because of a
mlsundei standing of the leal American
puipose, has bioken out in lnsuuectlon
That conflict has unhappily continued
bejond the hope, and pel haps. bejond
the expectation of the countiy. It Is
not the fault of the government. It is
no fault of the soldiers Eveiy battle
has been a Ictoij. The Ameilcan
arms have never been defeated oi le
puled The only tiouble has been that
our numbeis have not been great
enough to overwhelm the Insurgents
and crush the tevolt."

Michigan, In the atena of the Haw
thorne Athletic club at Checktowaga,
a suburb of this city, tonight, and nfter
fighting twenty llercp nnd clever
rounds, wrested the lightweight chain
plonshlp of the world from the west
rrn man. Over 7.000 persons watched
the contest which was brimful of ex
citing episodes nnd of hard and scien
tific hitting. Lavlgne went down to
defeat and surrendered hls title In a
most ct editable manner. He wns
pluckv and gamo to the core, nnd for
the first half do7en rounds more than
held his own against his adversary.
In the seventh round Lavlgne receiv
ed n terrible drubbing nnd wns only
saved from a knockout by tho timely
Intel ferenee of the gong Erne was
looked upon then ns a sure winnei, but
In the subsequent rounds It was seen
that ho had lost some of his steam.
Just what the cause of this wns not
nci tnlned until the bout hnd reached
the limit of 10 rounds nnd Brno hnd
been declared the winner. It wns then
found that he bad badly Injured his
left hand In the seventh round nnd If
tills had not occurred Lavigne's undo
ing might have com" In half the times
that It took the Buffalo man to win.
Both men stripped in splendid con
dition Lavlgne wns the favoilte.much
money being bet upon him nt odds of
100 to 90 When the men btrlpped La
vlgne looked to be the more finely
drawn Both were cool nnd confident.
As the fight progressed Liv Igne's cool
ness nnlshcd, while Ihne never lost
his self-preservation for a moment.
The Buffalo boy simply battered the
title out of his opponent and while not
ei nplng a good deal of punishment, he
ndmlnitcted a tetrlflc diubblng to
Lavlgne. Tow -ml the end of the bout
Lavigne's guard wns useless and noth
ing but sheer gtmoner kept the Sag
inaw Kid fiom going under. Blow af
ter blow fell upon his head and body
with relentless foice but he stood the
gafT nnd fought back pluekily ns best
ho could.

FILIPINOS TIRING OF WAR.
One Big Victory and They Will Sue
for Pence, Soys Gen. H. G. Otis.
Washington, July 3 General Har
rison Gray Otis of California, who saw
considerable nctlve duty in the Philip
pines, has nothing but praise for tho
manner in which General Otis has
managed the campaign against tho In
surgents in the Philippines. The vol
unteers, though not enlisting to fight
against the Filipinos, have accepted
the situation like tine Americans nnd
have done their work uncomplainingly.
Said General Otis
"At tho time that hostilities began
our estimate was thnt tho icbels had
about 30,000 armed men. Our belief now
is that as n result of the active work
eif the Ameilcan forces this number has:
been i educed full CO per cent, by rea
son of deaths, wounds and desertions.
The rebellious foi cos themselves are be
coming tlieel of the war, and In their
present demoralized state ono decisive
victory of the American aims would, I
believe, havo the effect of bringing
nbout peace With r.0,000 men under
General Otis that can be accomplished.
It must be remembered, however, that
the di season in which active cam
paigning may be lesumed does not be
gin until the first of Decemboi. This
should be thoioughly understood by tho
American people, so thnt there may bo
no complaints meantime of the Inac
