D. C. Aug. 14. Naval Constructor Richard Pearson Hobson was heard from by the Navy department today for the first time at any length since he was assigned to duty in charge of the Spanish ships raised from Manila harbor and now undergoing repairs at Hongkong.

The letter is addressed to Rear Admiral Hlchborn, Chief of the Bureau of Construction, and is dated at Hongkong July 17. He says: The three vessels under reconstruction the isla le Cuba, Isla de Luzon, and Don Juan de Aus-trias are at about equal stages of completion, which I estimate to be about 80 per cent, compared with the vessels fitted out ready for sea. I estimate the time of completion will be about six weeks after the arrival of the armament and electric plant. I estimate the value of these vessels when completed, exclusive of armament, to be about as follows: Isla de Cuba Hull, fittings and outfit. machinery, I75.OO0-.

total. $215,000. Isla de Luzon Hull, machinery, total. $215,000. Don Juan de Austrias Hull.

machinery, 55.0O0; total. $130,000. Total estimated value of all three vessels, He then shows that the raising and refitting has cost about $304,000. making a net gain to the government on the three vessels of $306,000. He gives the credit for this result to Naval Constructor Capps, who made the contracts.

Mr. Hobson speaks of the general good condition of the vessels, particularly the parts that remained completely submerged. He urges the desirability of a well-equipped United States dockyard In the far East. He adds: Tha success and advantage of such an establishment, as. Indeed, the success of any Industrial establishment in this part of the Orient, would necessitate the employment of Chinese labor.

This labor is not only unlimited In supply, but It Is equal to practically all the requirements of modern industry. PRESIDENT DIAZ WILL COME.

Every one here is delighted with the businesslike manner In which the new Secretary of War handles matters. Contributions continued to pour in today at a gratifying rate, among them being a check for $100 from ex-Secretary Alger. The appeals to the Governor of the States were mailed this afternoon, and with each letter was inclosed a copy of General Davis' dispatches of yesterday, which show the character of the supplied needed.

Secretary Root today admitted that he had requested the Governors of the States to name two officers Preparing from each regiment to Augment whtch served during rvno the Spanish war for vus Army. appointment in the Philippine service, and also that he is contemplating organizing the full provisional army. It Is said that within a few days the President will authorize the enlistment of the twelve additional regiments, and in the meantime recruiting will be continued. It Is now apparent that everything will be done to rush enough troops to the Philippines to enable General Otis to bring the rebellion to a speedy conclusion. The regiments which are already full will be sent to San Francisco at an early date, where they will be given rifle practice on the ranges at the Presidio.

The transport service of the War department Is rather limited, and Quartermaster General Ludington is now arranging for an increase in the transportation facilities. A sharp lookout is being kept for available vessels, and today negotiations were begun for chartering' the transport City of Pueblo, which is due at San Francisco about Aug. 15. The City of Pueblo has a capacity for twenty-five officers and S00 men, and could be ready for service by- the end of the month. Other transports will be chartered by the government when they can be found.

General Otis today advised the department that one of the Infantry regiments being organized at Manila now has 700 men, another has G00. and the cavalry regiment 300 men. General Otis has been asked to name some officers for the new regiments. All men of the regiments Just recruited who are not In fit condition to take the field are being discharged and able-bodied men are enlisted to take their places. By this means It Is hoped to send these regiments to the front with every man available for duty.

Her small, delicate mouth was firmly set and her thin fingers clutched a faded umbrella. There was abject poverty depicted In every garment, and the thin black material clung in folds about an emaciated figure.

The Chief Clerk wheeled his chair and faced his strange visitor. Without waiting for an invitation to speak the woman commenced in a determined voice: I am In search of work, and I must have something to do. For three days my little ones have been without food, and this morning the landlord turned me out of doors. I have been to every department and could get no work. Now I must have bread.

This government must give me a chance to help my little ones. I am a seamstress, and for over a month I have been working for the family of a member of Congress, but they have gone away for the summer and left my bill unpaid.

Recording Secretary Mrs. Christine 8. Smith, Nashville, Tenn. Organizer Mrs. Jerome Jeffrey of Rochester, N.

Y. Chairman of Executive committee Mrs. Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee, Ala. In the balconies which extend around three sides of the church were gathered the members of the various colored women's clubs of Chicago who were not delegates.

Many of the prominent leaders of the colored people In Chicago and colored men who have held important positions in the nation and are known by reputation all over the country were among the spectators. Many of these men have come to Chicago to attend the national convention of the Afro-American Council of Colored Men, which will meet in Bethel Church, Dearborn and Thirtieth streets, tomorrow.

This is held by the politicians here to st-org!) indicate that Roosevelt will be the raining mate for President McKinley In the (fit campaign. Those in a position to know tte innermopt party secrets now say Vice president Hobart will not be a candidate fr Sir. Hobart is satisfactory to the party jfaders in every respect, but the condition if bis health prevents his acceptance of a jlace on the ticket.

In support of this as-rtion it is said Vice President Hobart is 'luffer'ng from heart trouble and not a of. the stomach, as has been heretofore understood. Vice President Hobarfs retirement will be a voluntary act because of his i' health and not as a result of opposition from any source. A strong intimation was given tonight by politicians who have a great deal to do Pith President-making that McKinley and Rooevelt will be the Republican ticket next year. This prediction is somewhat surprising, as it has been, understood that Roosevelt would fill out his term as Governor of jCew York and make a fight for the head of tht Presidential ticket in 1904.

It is said that interested parties in the event of Vice president Hobart declining a renominatlon. have united In promising to assist Roosevelt In climbing from the second to the first place If he decides to run for the Vice Presidency next year. There are many who believe Governor Roosevelt would not Rccept the second place, is It would be fatal to his chances of landing in the White House. In recent years few if any Vice Presidents have succeeded to the Presidency, except in the case of the death it the President.

This information was conveyed to Richard S. Lyon, President of the Board of Trade, in a letter received on Sunday from the President of Mexico. President Diaz expressed deep interest in Chicago, and said that If his health permitted he would accept the invitation which the committee which left Chicago on Sunday night is carrying to him. George D. Cook also has received word from Mexico that the President and his party will be here during the fall festival.

The Festival committee will meet at 1 p. m. today at the Union League club and Chairman Truax will make a report on what he observed and learned of festivals and parades during his recent trip to Washington, Philadelphia, and New York. H. H.

Gros chairman of the Industrial Parade committee, says the parade will eclipse anything ever attempted in Chicago. Another proposed feature is a display of flags of many nations which will be carried several thousand feet high by means of kites. To prove the attractiveness of this plan an exhibition will be given on Saturday afternoon on the lake-front when two kites will be flown 1,000 feet in the air. One of them will bear a large Spanish flag captured by Admiral Dewey at the battle of Manila Bay. The other will carry the Stars and Stripes.

A Fireworks committee is planning an exact reproduction of Dewey's celebrated victory at Manila, to be given on the lake front at Lake Front Park, using the breakwater and local boats to assist in the scenic effect.

This agreement the board refused to ratify when the members learned of Sieber's plan.

The first order of the evening's meeting was to dispose of Sieber's claim, and when this had been done the trustees opened other bids that had, been handed in. These they rejected, fearing that the church still might be used for some purpose similar to that proposed by Sleber.

Acting Mayor Walker yesterday received the first subscription in answer to the appeal "The meeting of German manufacturers of toolmaking machines, which was held at Dusseldorf last week, asks for protection gainst the increasing American importations. So does the convention of German shoe manufacturers, which took piace at Breslau a few days ago. The Association of German ycle Manufacturers means to fight American competition even more keenly than the representatives of the jranches Just named. The agrarians, as la el known, would like to exclude American grain, meat, and fruit. "I am of the opinion that our exports to Germany will continue to Increase If we take the trouble to study the wants of these peotle; and, above all.

If we maintain the quality of our gods. Whoever enters a shoe store In Germany where American goods are to be had knows he gets the best, the most comfortable, and the most elegant shoes to be obtained. To keep this reputation Is of the highest Importance to American exporters. Quantities of cheap and unreliable American shoes thrown upon the German market would do endless harm to our exports In this article. The same is true of machinery and tools.

Three white women made brief speeches of welcome and encourgament to the delegates. The first was Mrs. Corinne Brown, Vice President of the League of Cook County Women's Clubs, and chairman of the Industrial committee of the National Federation of Women's Clubs.

She deplored class distinction between colored and white women, and said the only remedy was for the white and the colored women to work shoulder to shoulder for the common purpose of abolishing the feeling of caste. Miss McDowell, of the University of Chicago settlement surprised her hearers by announcing that she was a delegate. She is the founder of the Lucy Gaston club of Chicago, and, being asked by the colored members of the club to serve as a delegate, she said she had gladly consented. Miss Elizabeth M. Farson.

The representative of the government do not regard the efforts of Jiminez as serious, and do not believe he Is organizing a party of Invasion In Cuba. If this was the case a most vigorous protest would undoubtedly have been made to both the State and War departments. The aspirant for the Presidency of San Domingo will not be permitted to use Cuba as a base of operations In overthrowing the government. Jiminez is being closely wached by the subordinates of General Brooke, and if he is detected in attempting to use the ports of Cuba for any such purpose he will be placed under arrest. This government Is morally and perhaps legally responsible for Cuba, and will exercise tha same care in seeing to It that Cuba will not be used for the purpose of fitting out revolutionary expeditions as it would if an attempt were made to use Florida or any other State for the same purpose.

Even if Jiminez should land at San Domingo and gather about him a force strong enough to overturn the recognized government the State department would in all probability investigate the method of the launching of the Insurrection so as to clear the skirts of this government."

Dr. L. B. Tuckerman, who attended Professor Hubbard from the time of his illness until his death, was his life-long friend. Dr.

Tuckerman said concerning" Professor Hubbard's death: It Is a clear case of murder by slander. I have often read of such cases, but this is the first I ever saw. Professor Hubbard had a nervous temperament, and an illness of almost a whole year had left him in poor physical condition. That slander had the same effect on him that a blow on the head with a club would have had." Professor Morrison L. Hubbard of New Lyme, was for over twenty years a prominent educator in Ashtabula County.

He died at the Ncwburg Asylum on Saturday evening. He became violently insane about two weeks ago over the loss of his position as professor of oratory at Hiram College. Some one had made statements to the college authorities reflecting on his character. The trustees wrote to him about the matter and told him he could not have the position to which he had been appointed about two weeks previously. He called on the college authorities, but, being unable to et any satisfaction, started home.

He became insane on the way and was removed from the train at Toungstown by the police, who took him to a hospital.

Shots from the revolver of two Hyde-Park policemen' early yesterday morning ended the life of Old Wary," a big yellow and white bulldog that the police say was chief of a band of canine bandits.

The dog was caught while trying to steal a chicken from a henroost at Fifty-second street and Klmbark avenue, not far from the hiding place of the band of mongrel desperadoes in an excavation under a stable. A chase for Old Wary ha-d been in, progress for three months, and when- word was brought to the Hyde Park Police Station that at last the animal had beem killed there was general rejoicing. Inspector Hunt said: I am glad he is dtd. He gave mc more- trouble than any thief who ever invaded my district." The dog was nicknamed by the Hyde Tark police because of Its success in evading their eff orta to find it. The big bulldog was first seen in Hyde Park a year ago.

After roaming this streets alone for a time it found a companion, a little fox terrier, and in three, months Old Wary had collected a band of stray dogs. Ice boxes standing on back porches were the particular prey of the band. Old Wary became art adept in lifting the covers. The band made its raids by night from the big holo thait had been dug under a barn near Fifty-peconid street and Klmbark avenue.

He set a watch to capture the thief, and after several mornings spent in watching saw a big yellow and white bulldog, followed by a little fox tierTler, jump over the fence Into the pasture.

He watched the dogs, and reports that they helped themselves to milk just as calves might have done. He told the police of the matter. Assistant State's Attorney Barnes, -who lives at Fifty-first street and Lexington avenue, reported to Inspector Hunti that some one was cutting- at night a hammock which hung in his backyard. Detectives Farre41 and Klpley were sent to watch the hammock, and the first night saw the bulldog enter the yard and commence playing by Jumping and catching hold of the hammock and then swinging In the air.
