ATLANTK: SQUADRON
IN GOOD CONDITION.
Repnlrs to the Big Battleships About
Completed and They Will at Once
Assemble at Hampton Roads.
NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says-
Instructions have been given to Secre
tary Long to the officials of the Brooklyn
prohibiting them from commencing any
new work on the armor clads In the
North Atlantlo waters. Repairs on them j
completed, It Is expected that within ten '
days Commodore Philip will havo under j
his command an effective force consisting I
of the battleships and armored cruisers
now In commission, except the Oregon
and Iowa, which are now at Rio Janeiro, )
These vessels will bo kept.ntong tho Brit-1
sllhn coast for another ton days at
least, ml by that tlne the authorities
say -that tho policy of Spain with ro- j
spect to the negotiations will hnve finally
dovcloped.
Tho armored cruisers New York and
Brooklyn' are In splendid condition; the
battleship Massachusetts will havo com
pleted her repairs during tho present
week and nil construction work on the
Indiana will alio havo been completed
within that time. So for as the Texas Is
concerned, nnvnl officers say that a short
time only will be necessary to repair her
propellor.
Just as soon as all of the armor clads
are ready they will proceed to Hampton
Roads, where they will find the New
York awaiting them. Here tho vessels
will remain pending such action as may
bo necessary as ajesult of Information
received from Paris.
CUMJM REVIEWS WORK
OF COMI.NO Cw.VOREHH.
Many Subjects of Importance Will Come
Before the Session, Including the
Nicaragua Canal Bill.
WA8HINOTO?f, Nor. Jf-flenator Cul-
om, chairman of the Hawaiian eommls
slon, has arrived In Washington and will
at one begin the preparation of 4 re
port which he sx pert s to havs completed
In time for presentation to congress.
"I believe conpre will have enough
before It to keep it In continuous ses
sion for the next year" sold' the senator.
"The results of the war with Spain; the
consideration of the treaty of peace and
the bglslatlon for tho government of
the colonies that will be acquired under
that treaty will take time. In addition to
many other matters, of more or less Im
portance, that confronts congress.
"I do not believe there will be toy vac-
dialing about thi Hawaiian Islands, as
we acquired them by the process of an
nexation and not as an Incident of war.
There may be, however, 4 difference of
opinion with respect to our other posses
sions, but those opinions will In time be
wiped out Our Interests demand that
a cable be built to Honolulu. With the
Philippines In our possession, we ought
to extend this cable to Japan, and from
there to Manila. The treaty of peace
will hardly reach the senate much before
the expiration of the present congress,
but the new body will be guided by the
wishes of the ra'dent and accept the
conclusions of the treaty of Paris.
The Cuban situation furnishes 4 prob
lem of an entirely different character.
Our pledge with respect to that country
has been given. The establishment there
of 4 stable government Is 4 matter of
vital consequence, and cannot be accom
plished without action of some sort on
our part.
"The march of events baa pointed out
once more the Imperative necessity for
closer means of transportation between
the Atlantic and Pacific. Arguments
favoring the construction of 4 Nlcara
guan canal are more forcible than ever
before. A bill providing for Its construc
tion will undoubtedly be reported early
by Senator Morgan, who Is more enthusi
astic than ever before on that subject
In my opinion, that cahaj ought to be
built under government control, and I
can see no reason why the proper kind of
an arrangement cannot be made with the
two governments through whose ter
rltor - the canal will pass."
MISS WALLACE'S SLATER
IS NOT YET CAPTURED.
GDon. the 8uspe:led Chineso Lad, Is
Held, Pending Further Examination-Murder
Theory Established.
PENDLETON. Nov. 11 In the hunt for
the murderer of Miss Wallace. Thursday
night, no new clues are given out by the
oflkera. It Is understood, however, that
other Chinamen are suspected of com
plicity. Goon has not yet had 4 prelimin
ary examination, but is held pending fur
ther Investigation.
The statement by a cltlxen that he saw
two Chinamen Just after the shot was
llred run toward the O. R. & N. tracks
to the south of the Wallace house, re
vives almost the discarded theory that
tho murder wns committed by a Chlna
min. A minute examination of tho
ground about tho house, with all points
pertaining to the shooting, finally estab
lishes tho theory of premeditated murder,
and discards the possibility that the bul
let was a stray one.
A private subscription has been started
in addition to $1000 offered by Sheriff
Blakoley, and $100 additional has alieady
been secured as 4 reward for the arrest
and conviction of the murderer.
LAORANDE SUGAR FACTORY

Output of Sugar Only Half What Was
Estimated for the Year, But Con
sidered Good for 4 Beginning.

Sugar Company today closed the La
Grvide factory for tho season. The out
put In sugar, a little more than 1,500,000
pounds, Is only half of what was origin

Tho deficit was occasioned by the fact

up to the average, becauso of Ignorance
of the method of cultivation, hundreds of

the cruiser New York Is the flagship.
Tbe order also stated that work must

Terror so that tbey will be available for

The activity Indicated by the shipment
of ammunition from the Atlantic to the
Pacific and the ordering of night work
for the first time since tbe auxiliary fleet
was being equipped for service at the be-
rinning of hostilities is significant, say
navU men. The ammunition shipped
from this coast to Mare Island Is tn all
probability going to Manila, for the

GARCIA AND ENVOYS
ENROUTE TO WASHINGTON.
Crowds Meet Them at Every Station oa
The way-Calls on His Mother
In Havana.
NEW YORK. Nov. 14.-A dlspatck
to the Herald from Havana describes
the arrrival there of General Callxt.
Garcia and his fellow envoys tn rout
to Washington on 4 mission from the
Cuban government
They Journeyed from Santa Cm del
to Batabano. oa the south coast by
steamer. As the boat Beared the wharf
at Batabano, there was an assembling
of Spanish troops, drawn up as a guard
of honor for the reception of the conw
mission. The Cubans at first thought
that some objection was to be made t
Garcia' landing. This, however, was
marked by no Incident and be quietly -
boarded the train at Batabano, and at
all stations along the route large crowd
of spectators turned out to see the Cuba
leader. With the exception of 4 few
cheers there were no demonstrations until
the train stopped at Clenaga, 4 few mile
from Havana. There 4 committee of of
ficers from Menocala's camp at Mariana
waited his arrival, and many prominent '
Cuban residents of Havana were also
gathered there, among whom were Fred
erick Mora, Leyte Vldai, Brigadier Ar
mando Rivas, and Captain Ramon Men
dosa, formerly aide to General Law ton
at Santago.
Owing to the disturbance In the city,
the Cubans were strongly of the opinion
that Garcia should not enter Havana and
It was believed he would leave the train
at Clenaga, and go from there to MarU
anao. Contrary to these expectations.
he determined to enter the city, princi
pally with the object of seeing hi
mother. .
He left the train at Carlos Tercero, th
next station to the terminus at Villa.
Nueva. There a large crowd awaited
him and It was with difficulty that he
was able to escape. One of the first t
meet the general was Perfecto Lacoste,
president of the Cuban Junta. He was
presented to the other members. Many r
ladies were also present, severol of whom
threw their arms around Garcia and
kissed him.
Eventually, after considerable delay.
he was able to reach his carriage and
was driven rapidly Into the city to th
house, where his mother awaited him.
Colonel Humphrey, who is to be quar
termaster general for the entire island,
1 expected on Wednesday.
Dr. Brumner reports that the health of
the city is threatened by the large num
ber of soldiers quartered In the streets.
Thomas Hardy Is said to have adopted
the following most excellent form of re
ply, typewritten, for all requests for au
