D. June 14. Two hun dred portable protective shields for use In the invading army of the United States In Cuba for raiding ride pits have been manu factured In this city and will be shipped to-morrow to Tampa. Tbeeo shields Con stat of two larire wooden wheels at either end of a wooden axle about seven feet long. To this axle is attached a twenty-foot ladder, the ladder being fastened about IS Inches from one of Its ends.

The ladder Is ued as a lever for the shield, which Is fastened to the short protruding end. while the longer portion of the climbing appa ratus Is usrd as the means of pushing the affair slorg. With the steel plate In front of rhm, proof against all infantry bullets. It Is believed that a small detachment of soldiers will be enabled to TAKE A UTLI PIT Filled with men. It is to svold the ruhtg tire of the ha its hooters that the ahlekl I designed ajtd Is to be used.

Once adjacent to the pit or works the ladder Is let go. The shk-ld awirufs down In a vertical position between the wheels and beneath the axle, while the ludder Is brought to a per pendicular poHlllon. It may. now be used for scalinir purposes. They will be shipped to Tampa In pieces to be assembled either there or somewhere with the Invading army.

The shields are very simple and were mads rough In order that the plans may be followed and new shields constructed by soldiers In the field The wooden wheels, made In several lay ers of plank, are four feet six Inches In diameter, the rims being six Inches wide and EIGHT 1XCHE8 DEEP. Four boards at right sngles-take the place of spokes. The wheels are made wide and light. In order that they may be easily pushed through the soft csrth and sand. The axle Is about six Inches In diameter and Is turned of hard wood.

The shield Is constructed of two plates of Harveylzed steel, one eighth of an Inch In thickness, bolted on either side of bard- wood seven eighths of an Inch In thickness. This shield has been tested and found to be absolutely, bullet proof, although a small machine gun would doubtless play havoc with it. INSISTED On Seeing Governor Mount Until the Muscular Private Secretary Had To Remonstrate. mctAL tusrATca to tstb smoer Indianapolis, June 14. A neat-look ing fellow, declining to give his name, called at the Executive Chamber to-day and demanded to see the Governor, claiming that the Chief Executive owed htm a ticket to Nneth Vernon.

Secretary Wilson, in his blandest manner, assured the stranger thai the Governor was exceedingly busy with matters of state and could give no atten Hon to personal affairs at that time. The fellow walked off. but soon returned, and pushed his way to the Governor's private room, utterly Ignoring Secretary uson command to halt. Juet as he reached the Governor's presence, however, there was a firm grip on his collar and a second toward the base of his pants, and In a Jiffy he was flying through the executive cnamuera, propelled by the Secretary. Reaching the main corridor of-the state capital there was some still further evolutions by Secretary Wilson, after which the stranger gathered up what was left of hlrosell ana sneaaea away.

In the course of the de bate upon it Mr. Morgan (Alavbama) charged that the resolution was insincere and had been drawn for pontical effect. This statement Mr. Lodge denied vigorously, saying his only purpose In offering the resolution was that all the fact concerning the matter should be laid before the people, to the end that more care should be exercised in the future. He hoped thaU as a result of the proposed Investigation a general law would be passed to eliminate roorcssioM At.

iabbtist From the legislative equation. bill to authorise a retired list for en listed men and appointed petty officers of the United States Navy was passed. Mr. Allison called up a Joint resolution pasaed by the Houae yesterday appropriating 4 73,151 to pay the Bering Sea award. The resolution was agreed to.

A bill waa passed authorising the Presi dent to nominate IJeutenant Commander R. M. G. Brown, now on the retired list, to be a Commander on the retired list. Lieu tenant Commander Brown was one of the heroes of the Satnoan disaster.

Mr. Lodge's resolution directing the Claims Committee to Inquire into the die- poet Hon made of the money paid to the Methodist Church South for its book con cern claim was laid before the Senate. Mr. Morgan (Alaibama) did not approve of the resolution, although he proposed to vote for it. In a serious tone he diacusaed the resolution in all Its phases.

In the course of which he said that only to-day he he4 been Informed that a claim of fMM.OOO, paid re cently by Congress to the estste of John Roach, had been lobbied through Congress, and that the lobbyist had received riFTT PM CENT Or THE MONET. This may be mere fustlun," said Mr. Morgan. "There may be no truth In it but I want to bring It to the attention of the senate. Let us strike a line and follow It out.

If we are to commence this matter of investigating claims let us go to the bot torn or it. Let us Inveatlgate the Roach claim, too. I am not going to offer an amendment to this resolution, but I denounce It as Insincere. It Is an effort to scandalise a great church In another oart or the country, and I believe the effort Is made for political purposes." Mr. Lodge (Massachusetts), author of the resolution, replied that he had not the slightest Idea of reflecting upon the church.

iwr wntcn iiru uie manesi respect. Without UlvUlon the resolution was then adopted. A senate bill to provide a home for aaed and Infirm colored people was pasaed. Aizo ciock tne Dili tor the organization of a pan-Amerlean bank was laid before the Senate and Mr. Pettua SDoke in oouoal- tlon to the grunting of the proposed charter.

He said such Institutions as this were calculated to stimulate such gambling transac tions as tnose wnicn naa recently oecurrea In Chicago, whereby it Is made Impossible for the poor to eecure bread notwithstanding the abundance of wheat. Speaking of the Chicago transactions, Mr. Pettus said he thanked God that the perpetrator had where he ought to go. Speaking urther slong of the law which condemned trusts he said: "That law will not reach this Institution, yet here is the most dsmnable trust ever conceived, a trust that has tre mendous and almost unlimited powers. In an extended reply to some of the legal propositions advanced by Mr.

Pettus, Mr. Foraker, In charge of the bill, cited numerous authorities to show that a state may tax the property of Federal agencies when It Is in the hands of individual stockholders In the various states. "There Is," said he. "NO BRIOAXD IN THE BUSH, As to any part of this bill, as the Senator from Alabama (Mr. Pettus) Intimates." In conclusion Mr.

Foraker Kald the Com- mlttee on Foreign Rotations had most care fully considered all ohu phases of all questions bearing upon the bill, and had unanimously reported It In the belief that It was an ex cellent measure. Mr. Pettus offered an amendment to the bill providing that the proposed bank should not charge or receive more than 6 per cent Interest on loans. Pending- a vote upon the amendment Mr. Perkins (California) presented an argument In favor of the bill.

Mr. Teller ICoIoradO) maintained that the proposed bank would not relieve the situation, and it would not be relieved until we had ships doing business with South and Central America. The failure to sell goods In the Southern countries was not. In his opinion, due to a lack of banking facilities in the nttea states. Mr.

Bacon viewed the bill very much as Mr. Teller viewed it. "The great purpose of the bill." he declared. "Is. to Incorporate a hank which shall have the name and nowfr and prestige and authority of the United States uoveromem.

1 ncre is noming else In It. Take that out of It, and no one would gtve a bawbee for the bill. Is It proper that all the other banks of the country shall be brought Into competition with a gigantic bank backed by the name and prestige and authority of the Government of the United States?" Mr. Foraker. in reply, cited additional authorities in support of his contention.

When be had concluded, tne senate, at 5:10 p. mi. went Into executive session and soon aXlerwara aujourneo. IMMENSE Standing Armies In Knrope In Time of Peace. (London Sketch.

sy jams ooraon Baonett- Paris. June 14 What began as a duel nearly ended as a battle to-day. In the first place, only two meetings were arranged. These were between Count Castellans and M. Turet and M.

Oerault Richard, editor In chief of the Petite Republlque, and M. Ber nard. The Petite Republlque has been getting Into hot water all around of late. A recent article offended the members of the St. Georges Fencing Club.

Tbe consequence was that a detachment turned up at tbe place arranged for the duel to-day, every one eager to challenge M. GhersvuK Richard to a duel. Paris for a brief space seemed to have returned to the d'Artagnan period. Swords were crossed on the open highway, Gerault being second, then principal, and within an see of taking active part In a third encounter on the same spot. The place of meeting was at Neuilly, just outside Paris, on the right bank of the Seine, Just opposite the Velodrome.

Shortly after 10:30 o'clock a number of landaus arrived there. The first contained Count CASTZLLANE WITH HIS SECONDS. And the Countess de Dion and Elva. The second contained M. Henri Turot and M.

Gerault Richard and M. VIvlanL as seconds of M. Turot, and M. Andre Lefevre ss second of M. Oerault Richard.

The third contained M. Charles Barnard, Richard's adversary, and his seconds, M. Chlche and M. Papllland. But this wasn't all.

Other carriages followed In a long procession. Two members of 8t. George's Fencing Club, M. Louis da Heredia and M. Bruneau de were there, determined to insult Qerault Richard and compel him to accept a meeting on ac count of an article in the fire-brand journal of which he Is the chief editor.

There were journalists Innumerable, fen cing connoisseurs by the score, friends of the principals and seconds. Of doctors, of journalists and of fencing connoisseurs altogether quite a pretty bat tle could have been got on. Among those present was Clpelanl. the well-known revolutionist. He Is still suffer ing from the wounds he received in Thes- saly, and, when he got out of his carriage.

ne nonoiea to tne place of meeting on a pair of crutches, giving a sinister touch to the picture that was quite In keeping. At 10:30 Comte Dion, Director of the first encounter, gave the signal for the swords to be crossed. Casteliane was In front of his adversary, much the taller and heavier. Both were excellent fencers, both courage ous, both reckless; and tbs ONSLAUGHT WAS VERT SAVAOB. Casteliane gave way a little at the begin nlng, but before the first round was over he reat hed Turot In the right hand.

The wound was not serious. Turot refused to let the duel finish. The doctors did not object. 1 ne signal ror tne second atack was given. This was Incldentless, but In the third Casteliane began to press his ad versary more and more.

Finally, he gave a savage lunge, which went Xome. his sword transfixing Turot rtghr forearm. The blood flowed abundantly, and the muscles stiffened immediately, so that it was impossible for the wounded man to hold his sword. The doctors insisted upon the duel stopping. Hardly had the first two combatants laid down their weapons, when M.

Bernard and M. Gerault XUchard took their places. In deed they WKRK SO QUICK ABOUT IT That the Comte de Dion had to Intervene as an official account of the first encounter had not yet been drawn up and signed by M. Gerault Richard as second. This encounter was not as sensational as the first.

The adversaries were more wary. Eight rounds were fought before a wound was given on either side. At last, after an animated bit of fencing, Charles Bernard's sword touched Gerault Richard tn the fore head, and the flow of blood obstructed tbe sight. This duel was also stopped, much to the expressed disgust of the two opponents. While they were dressing, M.

Bruneau de one of the offended members of St, Georges Fencing Club, came up to Gerault Richard and made an insulting remark. M. de Jean, business manager of the Petite Republlque, here Interposed with the remark that such conduct was inhuman. Upon this M. Labori turned on his heel, saying to Gerault Richard: "You are a ras cal." You may Imagine that there was a hubbub.

However, no further encounter took place there then. But Gerault Richard Is to send his second to Bruneau de Labori to morrow. Then the procession returned to Paris. TDPPER HOPES Canada Will Be Treated More Gener ously By tbe United States. Londox.

June 14. Sir Charles Tupper, the Canadian statesman, who has just arrived here from Canada, is quoted In an interview discussing lengthily the relations between Canada and the United States. He said "Canada sympathizes very warmly with the proposed rapprochement between Great Britain and the United States. It has al ways been our desire to have the most friendly commercial relations with tbe re public, but hitherto the United States has not shown any disposition to reciprocate. The McKlnley and Dlngiey bills and the alien labor laws presented conclusive evidence of this point.

I believe, however, that the present Is most propitious for tbe settlement of all questions, and, tn the changed temper of the American people. I think they can be approached with a fair prospect of a just settlement. PR0MI3EJT PEOPLE ABEESTED. sraciAi. susrATCat ee tsls bhquisk.

In as good health as In the stir ring days when the young republic was hav ing its second brush with the mother coun try in the War of 1812. But the MOST INTERESTING VEATCRB connection with Mrs.

Barger is that the quaint little old woman gave her husband to tbe country in the War of 1512, laid two sons on the altar of her country's liberty In the great rebellion, and to-day her off spring Is represented at the front by a brave young great-grandson belonging to the Fifth Regiment. Pennsylvania Volunteers, at present at Tampa or on Cuban soil. No woman living in the United States to-day can show a like record. Mrs. Barger resides at Curtln's Works, six miles from this place.

She was born In Bedford Countv In 1791. and is therefore l7 years old. The cen tenarian lives in a QUAINT OLD LOO CABIN Built by her husband when this country was a wilderness, ana, aespus ner age, cultivates a little plot of farm land.

J. Bryan. Mr. Bryan's oration was notable for one thing hk flret public declaration of tbe war Issue. He took a high ground on the question, urging that the war is for humanity and not for the exten sion of United States territory.

In con cluding be said tbe manifest destiny of this nation ts not to acquire new realms to govern, but to carry out the fundamental principles of democracy to the end that equality among the cttlxeaa may be secured. He waa attired In tub rru rxtroRH Of a Colonel. After disc urn trig the resources of Nebraska Mr. Bryan made the following refereaoe to the war and Us results: War is harsh: It Is attended by hardships snd suffering: It means a vast expenditure of men and money. Ws msy well pray for the coming of the time, promised In Holy Writ, when the spears shall be beaten Into pruning hooks and the swords into plow share; but universal peace cannot come until justice is enthroned throughout the world.

As long as the oppressor is deaf to the voice of reason, so long must the citizen accustom bis shoul der to the musket and his HAND TO THB SABER. History will vindicate the position taken by the United States In the war with Spain.

In saying this I assume that the principles which were Invoked In the Inauguration of the war will be observed In its prosecution and conclusion. If a contest undertaken for the sake of humanity Regenerates into a war of conqueet we shall find It difficult to meet the charge of having added hypo crisy to greed.

The war correspondent who are telling the world the story of the struggle for Cuban Independence, have very Interesting ex periences. Especially h-re In the west In dies they are constantly getting into odd corners of civilisation. Conditions are met here which the average American could hardly believe to exist anywhere In the orid where Bibles and test books have ever been seen. Since the news center changed from Key West to the southern roast of Cuba It baa been necessary to cable all matter from West Indian points.

The Inland of Jamaica Is the nearest point to Santiago de Cuba, and most of the dispatch boats have made for the various ports cr JAMAICA With their news. The result Is that the cable offices have been swamped with me sages, and. no matter bow Important the news may be, nothing mom than the brief est bulletin can reach the United States fur a period of from hours to one week after the "copy is filed." The readers of the American newspapers have frequently seen prefixed to a cable dispatch from these tropical points the words. "Delayed in transmission." That espnselon Is truthful as far as It goes, but tbe words. "Delayed by lack of facilities." would explain the situation much more truthfully.

For two days the Wanda has been lying here In the beautiful harbor of Kingston. Under the clear blue water, a few fathoms beneath her keel, sleep the sunken city of Port Royal. More then two centuries ago. on a June night (In fact, June 7, this very night. Is tbe anniversary of the occurrence), a great earthquake shook the Island, and the city went down.

It was the home of the old Spanish pirate kings, and in the of a night of lavish REVBI.Br PEBAUCHEBT The sea swallowed them up. Not a stone's throw from our -'boat a red buoy swings and rocks In tbe moonlight. It marks the spot where the old city's Cathedral sank. Tbe tall spiral lifts Its splnnacle up Into the sea, and ths buoy is placed there to prevent ships of heavy draught from strik ing it.
