MISS JULIA GRANT MARRIED.
Tho Leading Kvent of the Season
Solemnized at Newport.
Newport. R. I„ Sept. "o.— By iiD
elaborate and gorgoous ceremonial,
Miss Julia Dent (irant, daughter of an
American soldier and granddaughter of
a great General, one time President of
this Republic, has become a princess,
the bride of a Russian—Prince Canta
cuzenc. Not only will Miss Grant have
the right to call herself a princess, but
she is at the same time a countess,
her husband possessing titles of prince
and count.
This marriage ceremony, though
landing by the laws of Russia and ac
cording to the rites of the Greek
Church, is not looked upon as legal by
the laws of the State of Rhode Island.
Therefore it was necessary to have an
other ceremony, which also was of a
religious character and which was per
formed in All Saints' Chapel.
The Greek ceremony took place in
the ballroom of Beaulleu. It may l>e
interesting to know that Miss Grant's
wedding gown was worn at both cere
monies. This was at tirst thought not
to be necessary, but as both ceremonies
were of a religious order the same con
ventional bridal attire was in keeping
for both. There was present to wit
ness the ceremony of the Greek Church
iln bride's mother. Mrs. I'lysses S.
Grant: Mr. and Mrs. Potter Palmer,
tin Misses Sartoris. Mr. Potter Palmer,
h\: Mr. Honore Palmer. Mr. Ulysses S.
Giant 'id. and Captain Algernon Sar
toris. A family dinner followed. The
< ■ reek ceremony was performed by
the Itev. Father flolowitszky. of New
York, who had ihe assistance of two
acolytes. Bishop Potter and the clergy
men who assisted at the second wed
ding, were the only people outside of
the family and bridal party present.
There have been n number of pres
ents received in the last two days, in
cluding a (lintnontl ami turquoise pin
from Viee President and Mrs. Hobiirt.
a sold service of spoons from Senator
Depew, a silver card case from Am
bassador and Mrs. Porter. ;i silver
jewel box from (leneral Merritt and a
sapphire necklace from llarry Walters.
Alleged Murderer Arroste«l.
Jamestown. N. Y.. Sept. i>s.—The
young woman who was mttrdered at
Falconer has been identified by the
liev. I'. Martinson, pastor of the Swed
ish Lutheran t'lmrch. who recognized
the body as that of Miss Kmily Adolph
son. a member of his congregation.
The officers learned iliat the girl had
been much in the company of Frank
Vi nuerliolm of this city, and the police
visited Vcnnerholin's boarding house,
at No. :t(>s Wlnsor street, and found
the young man in lied. A search of the
K.om brought to view a pair of wot
trousers covered with mud and blood,
and a vest In the same condition wits
also discovered.
The evidence against the .voting man
was so conclusive that he was arrested.
The ground in the vicinity of the place
where the murder was committed was
Marched. A pair of men's gloves and
tin handle of a razor, with the blade
broken off. were found. The handle
was shown to Veiiticrholin's brother,
who had not been informed of the ar
n si, and lie said it was the handle of
his brother Frank's razor. The pris
oner was prominent among the Swed
ish young people of the city, and held
a position of trust in Mount Tabor
lodge of Odd Fellows.

He Says in an Interview That:
Things are Moving Nicely
in the Philippines.
HAS PLENTY OF SUPPLIES
Aguinaldo's Offer to Release Ameri
can Prisoners Thought to be a
Sympathy Dodge.
Over 2,000 Filipino Prisoners Given
Their Liberty—Otis Thinks Na
tives Will Tire of Independence.
Reports of Dissension Among the
Native Troops. V>
Manila, Sept. 26.—Gen. Otis said in
regard to tlio Filipino offer to release
certain American prisoners that lie be
lieved it was intended as a bluff to
play 011 the sympathy of foreigners.
Gen. Otis as has been stated beforo has
repeatedly released Filipino prisoners
of war; In fact, he has already set over
2,000 of them at liberty.
111 order to test Aguinaldo's good
faltli, the Spaniards have asked Gen.
Otis to authorize the sending of a
steamer to Dayupan to get the Spanish
prisoners there aud transport them to
Spain. Aguinaldo had offered to re
lease these prisoners. Gen. Jaramillo,
who Is iu charge of Spanish affairs,
said that at the liegiiiiiing or August
the natives had ii.700 Spanish pris
oners. Including 400 officers. Since
that time :t0 per cent, of the prisoners
had been starved. Each man gets only
live cents a day for his food allowance.
(Jen. .Jaramillo recently received a
letter from Gen. Pena, who surrender
ed Cavlte, dated at Vlgan, urging the
Spauish Commission to use every en
deavor to secure the release of the
Spanish prisoners. Among other things
he said: i'lf this thing does not end
in a few months, there will be few left
to tell the tale."
The Filipinos have abandoned San
Francisco de Malabutn and Noveleta.
and have disappeared from the vicinity
of linns. This may mean a number of
things. One conjecture in that they are
tired: another that they lneuu to at
tack Calamba. where Gen. Hall has his
headquarters.
A newspaper yorrespondent had a
lons interview with Gen. Otis about
the state of affairs in the Philippines.
The General, in reply to questions,
said:
"Things arc going along in a very i
satisfactory manner. Our 'OWE. forces |
are in good condition. Wejiavo plenty |
of cominissnry supplies heijo or on the
way. We also have all the transporta
tion facilities necessary either here or
on the way. When the weather condi
tions permit we shall i>e ready to make
an active campaign.
•The Filipinos are having a hard
time holdng their forces together.
They have no commissariats and' no
voluntary support from their'own peo- ■
pie.
••Keports are constantly coining to
nic from all parts of the island show
ing dissension, demoralization and dis
integration among their troop** and the
dissatisfaction of the people with the
•insurrectionary government."
"Letters come to ine daily from per
sons of education and intelfigfcnee, men
of property and prominence syuoug the
Filipinos, asking me to send troops to
protect 'us from our army.' They call
their 'army of liberation' nothing but
bands of robbers and cutthroats.
"The southern and northern prov
inces have repeatedly begged protec
tion from inc. I have replied to these
people: 'What's the matter with inde
pendence'.' Go back and enjoy it a
while longer.' " (
"It is not surprising that the Fill-j
pinos thought they eould whip the
Americans. Tliey defeated the Span
ish under Gen. iarnmillo at Zapote ami
they licked Gen. ltios at Novalcta
when they were armed only with liolos.
They expected to repeat this perform
ance with us.
'•Aguinaldo had eight months in.
which to organize his campaign. He
accomplished a great deal in that time.
He sent his Tagals to every island of
any size and ini|Kirtance throughout
the archipelago and got his government
operating so thoroughly that the people
cannot fail in understand what such
self-government means."

Washington. Sept. Jit.—Of the
men required to till the ten volunteer
rt giments now in course of organiza
tion. t».2.H have been secured up to
date. Saturday 41.N men were enlisted.
The Thirty-eighth regiment with head
quarters at .lefferson Barracks. Mo.,
had 1.-77 men when the enlistment of
fices were closed Saturday night, and

ments next in the number of enlist
ments made are being organized in
.Massachusetts and Nebraska, where
the self-styled anti imperialists aiv sup
posed to be strongest. These legi
nietils are the Thirty-ninth, with head
quarters at Fort Crook. Neb., and the
Forty-tifth. with headquarter* at South
Framlngtou, Mass. I'p to Saturday
1.17b men had been enlisted in tile
'I hirty-ninth ami 1,02" men in ihc
