Jaudenes, the for mer Spanish commander at Manila, tel egraphs that a permanent and well equipped army of 00,000 men and a naval squadron will be necessary to restore and maintain Spanish sov ereignity in the Philippines. No request has been received at the War Department for the immediate muster out of Colonel Bryan's regi ment, the Third Nebraska. It is also said that if such a request were made it could not be complied with, because the quota for Nebraska to be mustered out has been filled. Several labor strikes are in progress at Manila, arising from demands for excessive wages, which demands are based on the concessions made by tho United States authorities at the begin ning of the war when exigencies com pelled complianee. Congressman Jerry Simpson deliv ered a speech on Saturday night at To pe ka, Kan.,and was immediately there after taken ill. His eonditlou was not regarded as serious until to-day, it was discovered that he had a severe fever. An incoming stock train on the Penn sylvania Railroad was thrown from the tracks at Fourteenth street and Mary land avenue, Washington, D. C., after crossing the Long Bridge, killing the fireman and Ben F. Cooper, the brake man. Admiral Cervera and his son, Lieu tenant Angel Cervera, left Annapolis to-day for Norfolk, Va. He -/ill make arrangements for the sick prisoners there to be conveyed to New York, where they will sail for Spain. Major General John H. Brooke, with his staff and escort, has completed two thirds of his journey across the island of Porto Rico towards San Juan. The march has been like a march through a friendly territory. Mayor Van Wyck has requested the President to allow the volunteer and regular regiments to mobilize in New York before being disbanded or dis tributed for the purpose of celebrating a peace jubilee. The Philadelphia Times says Gen. Miles has photographs of the records of tho court-martial T)f Gen. Alger and one of his aides, and will prefer a charge of treason. It is semi-officlally stated that, In view of the re-establishment of peace, orders have been given that the Ger man naval force off Manila will be re duced to one or two ships. The bridge being built across the Si. Lawrence near Cornwall, Ont., by the New York and Ottawa Railroad, fell und a large number of workmen, prob ably forty, wore killed. Owing to Blanco's refusal to receive Red Cross supplies American troops may be sent to Havana to take the place of the Spaniards sooner than had been planned. An offensive and defensive treaty is reported to have been signed by Great Britain and Germany. The re port is not generally accepted. The London Daily Mail sa?s it learns that an understanding between Russia and Great Britain on the Chinese ques tion is practically complete. Tho Naval Reserves marched through New York to continuous cheers, and were revelwed by Mayor Van Wyck and President McKinley. Gen. Pando denies that he was a spy in Florida during the war, and says ho did not come to New York to insult Americans. Cervera, his officers and men have been ordered released, Spain agreeing to pay for their transportation home. Emperor Kwangsu of China, accord ing to a dispatch from Pekin to tho Daily Mail, is reported seriously ill. Thomas F. Bayard may not live three weeks, though it is possible for him to live a year, his physician says. The President, it is said, will retire Secretary Alger und appoint Senutcr McMillan in his place. Admiral Schley and Gen. Gordon, Porto Rlean Commissioners, have sailed on the Seneca. There were more deaths and prostra tions from beat than on any previous day in New York. The handkerchief in the Dover poi soning case has been traced to a store in San Francisco. Wilfred Woodruff, fourth President of the Mormon Church, died In San Francisco. Edward J. Ratcliffe, the wife-beater and actor, lias been liberated from prison. Mrs. Cordelia Botkin admits that she bought arsenic in San Francisco. 91.50 a year is all the Tiuijunk costs. (I WHS BIS. The Hardships in Camp YVi kotf Could Not Be Avoided. THE SITE WELL CHOSEN. The Men Did Not Make Any Com plaint of the Neglect of the Government. Suflering of the Men In C'lilu, Ililu In I'urt to Stfiupson's Coll tor 11 list e In Oct ling the Ariuy There—Would lluvo licon o Crime to Allow si 0,000 Moil I rani a fol low Fever lllsl riot to Mix \V II li the People Camp Wikoff, Montaulc Point, L. 1., Sept B.—Major-General Joseph Wheeler made this statement to-day: "In reply to a direct request that I give the exact facts as I ses them. I will state that every officer and soldier who went to Cuba regarded that he re ceived a great and special privilege in being permitted to engage 111 that cam paign. They knew they were to en counter yellow fever and other diseases as well as the torrid heat of the coun try, and they were proud and glad to do so. They knew It was Impossible for them to have the advautage of wagon transportation, which usually accom panies armies, and yet officers and men were glad to go, to carry their blankets and their rations on their backs, and to be subjected without any shelter to tlie sun and rains by day and the heavy dew by night. They certainly knew that the Spaniards had spent years In erecting defences, and It was their pleasure to assault and their duty to capture tlie Spanish works. They were more than glad to Incur those hardships and these dangers. They went there and did their duty; each man seeming to feel that American GEN. JOSEPH WIIEELEK. honor and prestige were to be meas ured by his conduct. "The brave men who won the vic tories did not complain of the neglect of the Government, but, on the con trary, they seemed grateful to the President and ihe Secretary of War for giving them the opportunity to Incur these dangers and hardships. They realized that In the hurried organiza tion of an expedition by n Government which hud no one with any experience In such matters, it was impossible to have everythingurranged to perfection. "One reason why our army was lack ing in some respects In equipment was that a telegram was received from Ad miral Sampson stating that If the army reached there Immediately they could take the city at once, but If there was delay the fortifications of the Spaniards would he so perfected that there might be great difficulty In taking It. On re ceiving this desratch from Admiral Sampson the War Department directed the army to move at onee, and, as all connected with the army will recall, tlio orders were received after dark, und the army was In motion, had traveled nine miles, and was on the ships at daylight. "There Is no doubt that there have been Individual cases of suffering and possibly neglect among the soldiers, not only In Cuba, but since their arri val at this place. Nearly 20,000 men were brought from a yellow fever dis trict to the United States. It would have been criminal to have landed them and allowed them to go promiscuously among the people. "Every one will realize that to land 18,000 men anl put them on bare flelda without nny buildings whatever could not be done without some hardships. Over 5,000 very sick men have been re ceived In the general hospital and as many more sick have been cared for In the camps, and yet only about sixty deaths have occurred In these hos pitals. Rowoy'n Sword to Co.! :l,0O(>. Washington, Sept. B.—Tlio Navy De partment to-day entered into a contract with Tiffany, of New York, for the manufacture of a sword and belt for Rear Admiral Dewey, to cost ¥B,OOO. Congress appropriated SIO,OOO for the purchase of a sword for Dewey and ; medals for the officers and men of his I squadron wuo distinguished them selves at Manila. Chief Engineer Mllligen'e Reward, Washington, Sept., B.—The assign ment of Chief Engineer Milligan of tho j battleship Oregon to the flagship New | York means a special distinction and an increase of $1,200 a year in salary. | The promotion was made in recogni j tion of the officer's marvellous record I iu bringing the Orepon around the Horn (l'om San Eraadsco under trying ' conditions. COL. HENRY'S SUICIDE. liulleTcd Government Will (iraut Revision of Dreyfim OUNC. Paris, Sept. B.—The post-mortem ex amination of the body of Col. Henry shows that after he had cut a gash on the right of his throat he dealt a terrific stroke on the left side, which proved fatal. When the body was found it lay extended on the bed. There were no bloodstains 011 the floor, but the clothing of the suicide was satur ated. The most reliable details of Col. Hen ry's suicide show that in his last mo ments he was demented. He left an Incoherent letter about wanting to bathe in the Seine. The stories that his suicide was due to pressure from higher officers, and that he left let ters incriminating his superiors, are not credited, nor are other wild rumors with which Paris has been regaled for the last two days. It is usual to allow officers under rigorous arrest to have a dressing case and razors. There is no barber at Mont Valerian. The continued silence of the govern ment both as regards the Dreyfus case and the Czar's rescript causes num berless speculations. The repeated consultations between M. Sarien, Minister of Justice, and M. Cavalgnac, Minister of War, confirms the information that has reached the correspondent of the Sun that the gov ernment Is disposed to grant a revision of the Dreyfus ease, and is now con sidering the most suitable procedure. Popular opinion now, for the first time since the beginning of tne agita tion, generally favors a revision as the only satisfactory issue. President Faure returned to Paris from Havre this afternoon, owing to the situation created by the suicide of Col Henry. llohKon to <;o Ahead. Washington, Sept. H -*fjciit. Ilobson wi 1 be permitted to proceed with his plun of raising the Cristobal Colon by means of air bags, but he will have to work under the directions of Commo dore Watson, in command of the fleet at Santiago. His reported action in ordering the wreckers back to work after they had been withdrawn by Com modore Watson is criticised at the Na vy Department and may prejudice him there. The department is informed that the wreckers are at work upon both the Colon and the Maria Teresa, and it is said that the Maria Teresa was afloat once, several days ago. How she came to go aground again has not been learned. Lieut. Hobson, when he left Washington, had a large sum to his credit, believed to be $50,000, o be used in the prosecution of his plan, and the expectation Is that that sum will be expended in the experiment. Should It develop, howcvei ' bat by concentrat ing the labor of the wreckers upon one vessel It may bo ived, while delay would jeopard that : ssult, that course i will be promptly ado j ted. Mortality In flic Army. Washington, Sr.pt. 8 —Adjt.-Gcn. Cor hln's attention was called to-day to the figures printed tills morning by the Chicago Tribune, giving the number of soldiers who had died during this war. "The Tribune," he said, "prints the names of l,2ir dead. I think the num ber will reach 1,500. i lie army has been In existence four months, and numbers In round figures 500,000. That 1h Just about the population of the District of Columhia. The records of the health office of tho District show that In three months Just ended more than 1,500 of the 500,000 residents rf the District died. Out of the same pop ulation In the army 1,500 have died In four months. I don't think that Is such an 'awful showing for the manage ment of the army." Investigating Charges of Extortion. Washington, Sept B—Quartermast er-General Lualngton has ordered a searching examination of the changes of extortion by stewards and other per sons on board the transports chartered by the Government. Col. Pullman, Quartermaster, has been already Inves tigating the abuses on board the Aran sas, which Is owned by the Govern ment, and a guilty steward who ex torted about SB4 from soldiers has been discharged, after having been com pelled to reimburse his victims. The conduct of a steward on the Rita Is now being investigated, where charges were made for staterooms. tirewi Goods Men Working Oneida. Clinton, N. Y., Sept.

Cc breco, commanding the Cuban forces at El Cohre, sent word to Gen. Lawton to-day that Gen. Maximo Gomez, the Cuban commander-in-chief, had or dered him to plitce himself at the dis position of the American commander. Included in the letter of notification were warm congratulations to Gen. Lawton, upo%hls appointment to com mand the Department at Santiago. Gen. Lawton's popularity with the Cu bans has made the choice of the gov ernment In selecting bin) for the im portant post he holds singularly fortu nate. Gen. Lawton lias also received let ters from the Cuban leaders, Gens. Lac ret and Pedro Perez, in which they say they place themselves under his com mand pursuant to instructions from Gen. Gomez. sliort of Wuler in l amp. Camp Wikoff, Montauk I'oint, L. 1., Sept B.—There was a water famine here from it o'clock last night until af ternoon to-day, due to a breakdown in the big pump a*, the well in the infantry camp. This well is the mainstay of the camp. It gives the best water obtain able here, and 725,0011 gallons of it are sent throughout the camp dally. There was almost a panic in the hospital as a result. No water could be obtained for the patients, but as soon as the situation became known a number of sprinkling carts were then sent down to the well, filled and then hustled back to the hospitals, where their loads af forded temporary relief. Germany With (he Csar. Berlin. Sept. 7.—The Cologne Ga zette says that Germany has manifest ed already to Russia her willingness to support the Czar's scheme of universal disarmament. France, the paper says, is unfavorable to the idea, and main tains an attitude of restrained com plaisance toward Russia. It would be impossible, the Gazette adds, for Rus sia to indorse the attitude of France in regard to Alsace-Lorraine. Slate l'uy f>r New Jonojr Men. Elizabeth, N.

B.—With simple ceremony, but amid imposing sur roundings, the young girl who is to reign over the Dutch took possession of her throne Tuesday asd received the pledged allegiance of her Ministers, Council and people. Like the Czar of Russia, the sovereign of the Nether lands is not crowned, but personally assumes the royal diadem and installs himself or herself in the seat of power. The formalities of the occasion, though not difficult, could not fail to be a try ing ordeal to a young girl, but she ac quitted herself in a manner befitting a descendant of the House of Orange. The oath, prescribed by the Consti tution, is as follows: '1 do swear to the people of the Netherlands that I shall always and forever maintain and uphold the Con stitution of the Kingdom. I do swear that I shall defend ami preserve with all my power the independence and the territory of the nation; that I shall protect the general and individu al rights and liberties of ail my sub jects, and that I shall use an lawfui means to maintain and promote the general and individual prosperity, as is the bounden duty of a good Queen to do. So help me God." After the pronouncement of the oath there was a moment's hush and QURB.N WILHKLMINA. then the great assembly broke into cheers, crying thrice "Long live the Queen." Then followed the formal declaration of enthronement pre scribed by the Constitution. The dec laration was pronounced by the Presi dent of the Council, who said: "We receive and enthrone you, in the name of the nation and in virtue of the constitutional powers vested in us, as Queen of the Netherlands. We do swear that we shall maintain in violate all the rights of your crown; we do swear to do all that Is the bounden duty of good and faithful States General to do. So help us God." While this declaration was being pronounced all bowed low. Oaths of allegiance were then taken individu ally by the officers and all of the mem bers of the National Legislature. The whole ceremony was in fact technical ly a session of the Legislature in which the Queen was installed, and was entirely devoid of religious for malities. The emblems of authority on the table in front of the throne were tendered to her Majesty by the President of the Council, the Queen bowing in response. Cervora'v Records. Madrid, Sept. B.—El Ilernldn learns from officers of Admiral Cervera's squadron that the Admiral, before taking his ships out of Santiago har bor, left his correspondence with the Government in the care of the Arch bishop of Santiago, declaring that some time the world should know what had taken place alter the squadron left Cadiz.
