Washington, D. C\, May 31.—Memorial day
was generally observed in \V ashlngton. 1 lie
senate adjourned over for the day and the
house held only a fitiecMi-minute session.
All the department and business houses
were closed and the day was given up to
patriotic celebration. The bronze statues
of the nation's heroes* oil land and sea in
the government reservations and parks
were surrounded with the liags under which
they fought. At 10 o'clock there was an im-
pressive parade of the police and citizens,
which was at 11 o'clock broken up, the sev-
eral posts holding memorial exercises in the
various cemeteries. *
The most imposing ceremonies, of course,
were held at the national cemetery at Ar-
lington, on the Virginia side of the Poto-
mac, opposite Washington, which before the
war was the magnificent estate of Robert
E. Lee, tlie confederate chieftain. This
beautiful property had been sold a little
over a century ago to Jo>hn Alexander for
six hogsheads of tobacco, and was inherited
by I.#ee from John Parke Curtis, the son of
Martha Washington by her iirst husband,
who served as an aid an Washington's
staff. It was purchased by the govern-
ment from the Lee heirs in 1883 for $150,000,
after having been held as a national ceme-
tery since the close of the war. He<re are
bivouacked almost &»,uoo of tne nation's dead,
20.000 whose identity will never be known
being buried in a single grave. Among the
most famous of the heroes buried beneath
the spreading oaks and elms were General
Sheridan, the great cavalry leader; Admiral
Porter, the hero of Mobile; Brigadier Gen-
eral Henry and General Rieketts.
The exercises at Arlington to-day were
made particularly memorable by the pres-
ence of President McKinley. They began
at 12 o'clock with a national salute of twen-
ty-one guns from the light battery, Fourth
artillery, U. S. A. The beautiful ceremony
of strewing flowers on the graves followed.
The marine band, the G. A. R. and other
associations marched to the tomb of the
unknown dead, where the band played a
dirge while the massive monument was be-
ing decorated. After that the procession
separated.
With gentle hands and loving hearts the
graves of the vast army beneath the trees
received their tributes of flowers. The hum-
blest of the country's defenders was not
neglected. The organization and guests af-
terward gathered at the amphitheater,
which was impressively decorated, where
the exercises took place. The programme
at the amphitheater opened with buglers
sounding "assemble." After the funeral
march by the marine band, "The Burial of
the Dead" was sung by the choir.
Thomas S. Hopkins, department com-
mander, called the assembly to order, and
Rev. YV. H. Black invoked divine blessing.
The choir sang auain, and then Representa-
tive Doiliver of Iowa delivered the oration
of the day.
This oration was followed by music and a
poem delivered by Dr. Thomas Calver. Hon.
Webster Davis, assistant secretary of the
interior, followed with an oration, and the
exercises concluded with Beethoven's funer-
al march of the dead, played by the marine
band.
Special services were held afterward at
x. the tomb of Admiral Porter, at which Gen-
era! Walker presided.
At the Soldiers' Home cemetery the ser-
vices were conducted by Henry Wilson post
No. 117. Grand Army of the Republic. Spe-
cial services weie held at the tomb of Gen-
eral John A. Logan, under the direction of
the sub-committee composed of the Logan
guard of honor and a committee from the
Legion of Loyal Women. The exercises at
the Congressional cemetery were conducted
by Farragut post No. 10, G. A. R. Similar
services were held at St. Elizabeth's, Oak
Hill and all other cemeteries in and about
Washington where the union dead found
resting places.
A large number of the members of the
Union Veterans' Tmon left for Winchester
early this morning, to participate in the ex-
ercises of memorial day there.
A noticeable feature of the. exercises here
to-day was the great inroads the past few
years have made in the ranks of the veter-
ans. In several instances the bands out-
numbered the post they were escorting.
At New York.
New York, May 31.—A rainy forenoon in-
terfered greatly with the observance of
Memorial day in New York and its vicinity.
There were, however, committees of vet-
erans of the union army at all the ceme-
teries in and about New York to decorate
the graves of those of their comrades who
have found burial there. The tomb of Grant
was well remembered. The parade was re-
viewed at the Worth monument, in Madison
square, by Mayor Strong, city officials and
prominent citizens.
The weather was hot at General Grant's
tomb this afternoon, but 3000 persons as
sembled there to take part in the exer
cises of United States post 227, G. A. R.. of
Brooklyn. Flowers were deposited on the
sarcophagus. To the left was a magnifi-
cent floral contribution from the Chinese
minister and to the right an immense
wreath presented by the confederate camii
of this city. When the marching veterans
appeared a national salute of twenty-one
guns was tired by the United States bat-
tleship Indiana, which was anchored in the
river. An address was made bv Mavor
Strong and Bishop John P. Newman deliv-
ered an oration.

ence of 5000 people, the secretary of war

INDIANS MAKING TllOl HLF. ,
< heycnncs on tlie War Path—Killed
a Dozen Men.
Denver, Col., May 31.—A special to the
Republican from Helena, Mont., says the
Cheyenne Indians have gone on the war
path, and have thus far killed a dozen men,
including live United States soldiers. They
have no reservation, but roam over the
southern part of the state, near the Crow
reservation. A sheep herder named Hoover
recently caught several Indians stealing
sheep, and he was killed. It Is said the
Cheyennes did it, and the stockmen are up
in arms. Women and children are being
sent north for safety. Two companies of
colored cavalry have been ordered to Lame
Deer agency. A courier brnigs news that
George Walters, postmaster, and Lou Al-
derson, stockman, have been killed. The
Indians also killed live cavalrymen and sur-
rounded sixty cowboys. The Cheyennes aro
being reinforced by renegade Crows.
When Sheriff Gibb and Coroner Bateman
were returning from the inquest on Hoov-
er's body they were met by sixty men under
Legislator James T. Brown. The sheriff
pleaded with them not to proceed, as they
could do nothing against 400 or 500 armed
Cheyennes.
The sheriff ascertained that Hoover was
killed by White Bull, who said his heart
was bail and he wanted to eat a white man's
heart, He also believed he knew the others
Implicated. The posse agreed to wait two
weeks for arrests, and if nothing is done by
that time they will attack the Indians.
Deputy Sheriffs Smith and Matt Winters
have returned from Miles City. They say
when the troops from Fort Custer arrived
al the agency the Indian who admitted his
crime could have been arrested, but tne
officers in command chose not to make it at
that time. The Indians were in war colors,
riding in circles, displaying Winchesters
and daring the citizens to fight them. There
are now six companies of troops at the
agency, and it is supposed more will be
sent.
Settlers with their wives and children,
from the Tongue river country, are arriv-
ing at Miles City in all kinds of improvised
conveyances. All kinds of rumors are rife,
but news has to come for most part of the
distance by courier, and nothing definite is
known as to those reported killed.
Mrs. Stephens, wife of an ex-agent, who
was riding over to the agency from their
ranch for safety, was attacked by young
bucks, who would have killed her but for
the pleadings of an old squaw. They, how-
ever. spat in her l'uce and offered other in-
sults.
Montana Indian Troubles.
Helena, Mont., May 31.—Excitement con-
tinues on the Cheyenne reservation in the
settlements in the vicinity. Ranchmen on
Upper Rosebud have all deserted their
homes. Six companies of soldiers from Fort
Keogh and Custer are en route to the agen-
cy, as is also the sheriff of Custer county,
with large numbers of deputies. The sher-
iff has- a warrant for the arrest of Indian
Agent Stouch, charged with int< rfering with
officers in the discharge of their duties; also
for three Indian murderers. The sheriff
will probably arrive at the reservation with
his deputies to-morrow and endeavor to ar-
rest tne murderers of the sheep herders,
while the soldiers and civil officers will be
prepared to quell any actual outbreak. Con-
siderable anxiety is manifested. Many are
of the opinion, however, that the situation
is very grave.
REPORTS NOT VERIFIED.
Helena, Mont. May 31.—Reports of the
killing of several men by the Cheyenne In-
dians at Lame Deer agenq^ are not veri-
fied. It is not believed anyone was killed
except a sheep herder named Hoover,
whose murder a week aso caused all the
excitement. The cowboys determined to
avenge his death and give the Cheyennes
an object lesson to deter them from similar
acts in the future. They sent all the wom-
en and children to places of safety, armed
themselves and congregated near the agen-
cy and demanded the surrender of the In-
dians accused of murdering Hoover. The
Indians armed themselves and made threat-
ening demonstrations against the whites,
but no battle has been fought nor massacre
begun so far as is known. Six companies
of United States troops are at the agency.
The Indians declare they do not want to
light the soldiers, but ^.re-anxious to have
a brush with the white ^settlers and cow-
boys.
There is a conflict of authority between
the Indian agent, Captain Stouch. and the
sheriff of Custer county. The sheriff and
deputies were ordered pff the reservation
by the agent. They returned to Miles City
and brought a warrant for the arrest of the
agent for interfering with the officers, and
started back to arrest him. Lame Deer is
sixty miles from a telegraph office, and the
result of their expedition Is not known.
The trouble is due to the Charges of set-
tlors that the Indians kill and steal their
eat tic and counter charges that the settlers
Intrude on their reservation.
Governor Smith wired President McKin-
ley to-day, protesting againut the aeiion of
Captain Stouch. and asking that he be di-
rected not to interfere with the civil au-
thorities. Stouch says he can and will ar-
rest the murderers as soon as the excite-
ment dies out.
Northwest Territory Indian Trouble*.
St. Paul, Minn., May 31.—A Winnipeg
special to the Dispatch says communication
with Duck lake was resumed this morning
at 8.30, when the Dispatch correspondent,
with the mounted police, who have been
besieging the four Indian murderers, in-
cluding the desperado Almighty Voice, sent
the following message: "The Prince Albert
volunteers got impatient yesterday after-
noon ami the officer in charge al.owed them
to rush on the bluff where the outlaws
were hiding. They were led by William
Drain, James McKay, Q. C.. and Police of-
ficers Wilson and McDonald. On the first
rush they did not find the hiding place of
the Indians and they again went to killing
the only remaining Indians. A.mighty
Voice and another Indian were killed by
shots from the nine-pounder. No further
easualties occurred on the outside. The
dead have been brought in. The father of
Almighty Voice Is under arrest here as an
accomplice. No further trouble is antici-
pated." .
The San Uuentin Prison Troubles.
San Francisco, Cal., May 31.—"Shoot the
first man who breaks out of his cell." That
was the oreler to the guards at San Quentin
prison last night. The prisoners were shriek-
ing like maniacs and rattling and pounding
on the iron doors of their cells. The guards
were doubled and each carried a gun loaded
with buckshot. Two men who were re-
leased, their terms having expired, have
told what the desperate convicts are plan-
ning. According to the story, it has hern
agreed among the ringleaders that when
ihey are permitted to return to work in the
jute mill they will make a sudden dash,
kill Engineer Young if necessary, overpower
the guards and wreck the magnificent plant,
on which nearly $1,000,000 has been spent.
There are 1304 prisoners within the walls at
Shu Quentln. Over half of them are in open
revolt. Many of the others sympathize with
the violent om s. Warden Hale says that
all the eomplaints made by tlx* men are
trivial. Dire 'tor Wilkins de« lares they have
no real grievance. Prison Surgeon Lawler
says the opium fiends who have been de-
prived of the drug are at the bottom of the
trouble.
A man's wife should always be the same,
especially to her husband, but if she is
weak and nervous, and uses Carter's Iron
Pills, she can not be, for they make her

The new dry dock at this port will be
opened this week. The first ship to enter

The Herald's correst>ondent in Montevideo
telegraphs that the chamber has authorized

tion expenses.
Owing to the financial crisis, says a cor-
respondent in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the
government will reduce all official salaries,
beginning with the president and ministers

The government has decided that it will
be necessary, in view of the trembles in the
republic, to increase the army to 28,000 men

STRUCK BY A TRAIN.
Berlin, May 31.—The trial of Herr von
Tausch, the former chief of the secret po-
litical police, charged with perjury, treason
and forgery, was resumed to-day.
Herr Frledheim, representing the chief of
police, testified that Von Tausch, during
the course of his investigation into the ori-
gin of the article in the Welt Am Montagu,
intimated that it originated in the foreign
office. The witness added that before the
Von Leutzow trial began Von Tausch ex-
pressed joy at the opportunity to declare
publicly the fact that the political police
did not themselves engage In politics.
Count Philip von Eulenburg. the German
ambassador to Austria, testified that he
met Von Tausch at Abbazra. and that he
publicly requested Von Tausch, If he heard
interesting news, to communicate it to him.
The ambassador, continuing, asserted that
when receiving a clipping from the article
in the Welt Am Montagu the statements
made In it did not impress him as being
connected with any special intrigue, and he
did not question Von Tausch on the Bub-
^Chief of Police Wlndhelpi testified that it
was not the duty of Von Tausch to report
the case of a forged receipt signed "Ku-
kutsch." The witness said that he was no
longer in a position to state why he had
not informed Herr von Koeller. the then
minister of the interior, of a mission en-
trusted to Von Tausch by the minister lor
war. The witness first heard of the "Ku-
kutsch" receipt in the course of the Leut-
zow trial. , , .
This last statement occasioned a lively
passage between the public prosecutor and
Von Leutzow's counsel, resulting in the
latter—whom the president of the court
threatened to punish lor contempt-throw-
ing up his brief and leaving the court in a
rage. After adjournment, however, counsel
for Von Leutzow accepted the explanations
of the court and public prosecutors and re-
sumed his defense of the case.

ed for the crash.
DISTASTEFUL TO THE TIRK.
Dr. Ancell Snyn the Sultun May He-
Jeat Dim us Minister.
Ann Arbor, Mich.,, May 31.—Dr. James B.
Angell says Turkey Is now discussing his
acceptability as American minister. He ar-
rived al his home in this city last night
from Washington.
Dr. Angell has for.years been, a member
of the American bp^ty of foreign missions,
wbose work In Turkey has been carried on
to the great dissatisfaction of the sultan.
His sympathy with mission work and a re-
ported interview with him in which he was
made to say he hoped the Turks would
meet their match in ihe Greeks, caused the
talk about his appointment In Constantino-
Pie-
"In view of the muddle of matters, said
Mr. Angell, "I can not say when 1 shall
leave for Turkey. The presumption, I may
.tell you. candidly, is that 1 shall go, al-
though definitely I can not say. Of course,
it may be that the sultan may refuse to be
appeased and will continue to consider me
too good a tnan, or too bud a man, as you
please, to have about."
In regard to his being appointed minister
to Spain, if the sultan should refuse to with-
draw his protest. Dr. Angell said:

San Francisco, Cal., May 31.—The follow-
ing Hawaiian advices were brought by the
steamer Peru to-day:
The Hawaiian government, in its reply
to Japan on May 4. refused to coincide with
the views held by that country in the send-
ing back of r>23 Japanese immigrants
brought by the Kiniani Maru. Official notice
has been given Japan thai the Immigration
laws of Hawaii are to be vigorously up-
held.
The answer of Japan will not be delivered
to the Japanese Hawaiian representative
till this afternoon. It was learned, however,
that the view taken by Japan is that, while
the right of tills government to tiass reas-
onable laws regarding Immigration is not
denied, it is contended that Tf the conten-
tion of the Hawaiian officers Were correct
the immigration laws of that country are
in contravention of the treaties existing be-
tween these countries. Further, it is stated
that Japan says the action of Ihe executive
in returning the Japanese emigrants was
arbitrary and capriciously enforced, and
that the decision of tlie supreme court In
the habeas corpus was decisive, and for
that reason the Hawaiian government Is
expected to recognize the principle of in-
demnity. The empire of Japan also de-
mands assurance of this government that a
like action would not again be taken with
Japanese immigrants coming Into Hawaii.
The position taken by the Hawaiian gov-
ernment is that the Immigration laws are
a reasonable exercise of the police power of
the state and that the administration had
Impartially enforced them. For this reason
the Hawaiian government considers that
the .principle of indemnity does not apply.
The Japanese impers have dropped Ha-
waiian affairs for the present. A private
dispatch states that another warship may
be ordered to Honolulu. It is likely, how-
ever, that the Naalwa will remain in port
subject to orders of the Japanese minister.
The United States ship Adams, with a
number of naval apprentices on board, ar-
rived here on the 17th. She leaves for San
Francisco In about a week.
Durriint Will Die (inme.
San Quentln, Cal., May 31.—Theodore
Durrant has made the declaration that If he.
must meet his fate on the gallows he will
die like a man. The suggestion of suicide
is repulsive to him, he says. He also de-
clares he will die in the presence of Ills
parents, who will insist on their attendance
at the execution as Ills invited guests. The
elder Durrant says his wife is a woman of
determination arid she will press her legal
rlghls lo the limit. Under the law Warden
Hale tan not deny her admission if she
presents herself at the prison.

Cripple Creek, Col.. May 31.—WIIMam Carr
and Frank Curtis, miners in the Normal

Instantly killed by a premature explosion
of dynamite. The bodies were hardly rec-
ognizable.

You can stand on your head, for instance.
Almost everyone could do it, if it were

Pearline is easier and more sensible,

New York, May 31.—A special to the Her-
ald from Washington says: From now until
June 10, when he will start on his trip to
attend the Nashville exposition, President
McKin/Iey'8 attention will be devoted almost
exclusively to the Cuban question.
Important developments may be looked
for within that period. A new minister to
Spain and probably a new consul general
to Havana will be appointed, the report of
Special Commissioner Calhoun considered
and a formal note to Spain drafted and
placeil in the hands of the new minister
for delivery upon his arrival in Madrid.
Mr. Calhoun is expected in Washington
on Sunday next. By that time the president
expects to announce the new minister to
Spain and to have practically formulated
his instructions, both in regard to the offer
of mediation which is to be made and a
demand for reparation for the Ruiz out-
rage. The understanding is that the report
of Consul General Lee of the Ruiz inves-
tigation is now in the mails and will be in
the hands of the state department before
Mr. Calhoun arrives.
The president, of course, desires to have
a talk With Mr. Calhoun, but the private
communications received from Spain have
enabled him to proceed with the shaping
of his policy without delay.
The instructions to the new minister will,
of course, be treated as coniidential until
he has communicated with the Madrid au-
thorities and a reply from Spain has been
received. There is practically no doubt,
however, that the president's note to Spain
will be a formal tender of the good offices
of the United States. It will be polite but
tirm In tone, reviewing the whole situation
in such a way as to snow that the United
States is deeply interested in the present
devastating war and that on the ground of
humanity as well as for commercial rea-
sons, we have. the right to use all legiti-
mate means for bringing the war to a
close.
Both administration officials and repre-
sentatives of the Spanish government are
congratulating themselves that the recent
Hurry incident to the passage of the bellig-
erencv resolution in the senate has subsided
at a 'time when negotiations are about to
be undertaken for a peaceful solution of the
trouble. If no unusual excitement occurs
both sides are hopeful that a satisfactory
settlement may yet be reached.
It Is still the opinion of many conserva-
tive men here that complete autonomy for
Cuba on a Canadian basis will be the final
outcome if the matter is to be settled with-
out a rupture In our relations with Spain.
The report that a special messenger had
been sent to Havana to receive reports
from Calhoun and Consul General Lee was
denied lo-day by Assistant Secretary Day,
who stated that he did not know W. W.
Kimble, alleged to be the messenger.
Tlie Pc»i>l>er Letter*.
Washington, D. C., May 31.—The attempt
of a Havana newspaper to impugn in ad-
vance the report that will be made to tihe
president by Special Commissioner Calhoun
by means of an attack upon the letters
which have been printed as coming from
Mr. Pepper has had the effect to arouse the
friends of the newspaper man to his de-
fense. Mr. Pepper's letters have been
printed in the Washington evening papers,
so they have fallen directly under the eye
not only of congress, but of the members
of the diplomatic corps resident in Wash-
ington, and have doubtless been used as the
busis for reports to their own government..
They have attracted more attention than
would have been accorded to similar com-
munications from other sources because of
Mr. Pepper's high character among news-
paper men and his reputation for impar-
tial v in. the pursuit of his business. The
proprietors of the Star were led to select
Mr. Pepper to visit. Cuba and report upon
tho conditions there for tills and for no
other reason. They state that as their spe-
cial correspondent during the last cam-
paign Mr. Pepper had shown a spirit of
impartiality and fairness and so much cool-
ness in tirms of excitement that unbalanced
the Judgment of many other men that they
felt sure that his investigations would
bring to light the exact truth, at least so
far as it could be conveyed through the
impressions made upon a trained and un-
biased newspaper man. Therefore Mr. Pep-
per was not chosen out of consideration of
his relations to the president and Mr. Cal-
houn. As for the former, they were those
that might exist between any newspaper
man who had been much in contact with
the president through a campaign and had
earned his good opinion through his accur-
ate and fair work, while as for the friend-
ship of Mr. Calhoun, it Is the confident be-
lief el Mr. Pepper's employers that his
work could not be influenced in the slight-
est degree from considerations growing out
of" those connections. In answer to criti-
cism that Mr. Pepper's work had been un-
fair toward tlie Spanish aide, it is pointed
out that in last Saturday's Star is one of
his letters devoted entirely to the exposi-
tion of the merits of the Spanish cause, the
basis being «;n interview with one of the.
largest planters on the island, who presents
Ills strongest argument to show that Cuban
domination would mean anarchy and ruin
for the best interests of the island.
AVeyler'n Obnoxioim Order.
New York. May 81.—A dispatch to the
Journal from Havana says: Weyler has
forbidden the sale of Imported meat In
Puerto Principe and is compelling the pub-
lic to consume only beef purchased from
his own agents, proceeding from confiscated
cattle rounded up and driven In by his
troops from adjacent districts throughout
Santa Clara province*
The situation is the same in towns garri-
soned by Spanish troops. Military opera-
tions having been virtually suspended, the
army is being used to further the specula-
tions of the chiefs and military command-
ers. In one district, that of Sancti Spirltus,
the entire battalion of Alphonso XIII has
been supplied with lassos and sent into the
field as cowboys.
The fact has been openly announced in
the local Spanish newspapers that two
steam transports, subject to Weyler, are
very busy carrying the confiscated goods
to Santiago, Manzanillo and other good
markets.
A strong patriot force Is besieging tho
port of Baraco by land. On Tuesday the
Spanish forces were driven in and the be-
siegers dashed Into the city but eventually
were compelled to withdray under a rak-
ing artillery fire from the government war-
ship Vasco Nunez de Balboa, at anchor in
the harbor.
The well known patriot hospital surgeon,
Julio Artega, son of Serapio Artega. a cele-
brated Cuban physician killed some time
ago in a duel in Mexico, has been captured
by Weyler's troops in PInar del Rio and is
now a prisoner In Artemisa. He will be
tried and shot for succoring the enemies of
Spain in having cured the wounds of rebels
in arms against her authority.

Havana, May 81.—W. J. Calhoun, the
United States commissioner who is inves-
tigating the death In the prison at Quana-
bacoa of Dr. Ruiz, a naturalized American
citizen, was interviewed to-day .with refer-
ence to the article In the Dlarlo de la Ma-
rina making an indirect attack upon the
commissioner by criticising articles which
have^ippeared in a Washington newsuaper
over the signature of Mr. Pepper, wlro ac-
companied Mr. Calhoun to Cuba. Mr. Cal-
houn said: "Mr. Pepper Is in no way con-
nected with the commission. On the con-
trary. he came to Havana on his own ac-
count. No secrets of the commission have
been divulged, nor has any special infor-
mation been supnlitd to him which was not
obtainable by other correspondents. I sup-
pose Mr. Pepper's information was gath-
ered from personal Information or from
hearsay."
Mr. Fishback, the secretary of Mr. Cal-
houn. was also interviewed, and expressed
opinions similar to those of the commis-
sioner.

Jacksonville, Fla„ May 31.-Dispatches
from Miami, on the lower east coasl, report
the seizure of the steamer Blscayne,
charged with filibustering by a deputy col-
lector of customs. The Dauntless, which

a towing trip, and which 'has since been
reported to have landed two cargoes in
Cuba, is also reported to have been cap-
tured bv the cruiser Marblehead, which put
out from Key West. The capture occurred
