HAVANA, April 3.—There is keen antici- pation now among the Cubans, and will be for some days to come. Gen. Martinez Campos, with a couple of million dollars in cash, a lot of troops and a large personal prestige, is now on the ocean and bending sail hither. Great will be the day when Campos again sets foot on Cuban soil, to put down another rebellion. The people here are expecting him, and anticipate with anxious interest his coming. To an onlooker, however, the interested among unofficial people seems to arise more from anticipation of the pageant and the clatter of bright metal than from any conscious- ness that Campos is needed here. Havana, always accustomed to military, has not been vividly impressed by the landing of the troops from Spain. The repression of the Havana papers results in ignorance of details, if not of facts, from the eastern districts; and so, while the people look and are interested in the show before them, they feel that they have no personal part in the matter. and are, indeed, quite con- tent to leave all the fatigue of activity to those who must act. Guarding the Const. Utmost vigilance is exercised by the gov- ernment to prevent the landing in Cuba of the insurgent leaders who are in’ other parts. The government especially and def- initely desires to intercept Maceo, whom the officials profess to believe has not ef- fected a landing on Cuban soil. There is private information in this city, however, that Maceo is now on the island, and that the other leaders will come later. This Cuban negro, Maceo, veteran of the last rebellion, is said to be an able man, a shrewd tactician in the chapparal and in- dubitably brave. He is to the official house here the bogy man of the insurrection. All the movements of the insurgents Prove that the plan, announced in these dispatches as the one laid out by their lead- ers, is being consistently followed. Theirs is a waiting campaign. They appear and disappear. They make a sortie against some village, and, if troops appear, they hustle away out of sight. They have alarmed the inhabitants and they have harassed the troops, whose officer then telegraphs the governor general that his men bravely made after “‘a group (that is the governnmiental designation of insur- gent forces), and routed the enemy, who ‘ran away,’” another technical designa- tion of disappearances of insurgents. Over 5,000 Insurgents. It is a fact that there are on this island today between five and six thousand insur- gents, who have rifles and cartridges within their reach¢ The government may scout this statement, but it holds. And the plan of campaign is to wait. ers know better than to openly oppose their five or six thousand men against superior forces, when climate and sickness are relied upon as allies a little later on. “Why don’t the insurgents pitch in and do something before all the Spanish troops reach here?” is a question asked by oppo- nents of the rebellion here. The answer is that while engaging the forces now here the rebels would suffer losses not to be rapidly mended, and upon their weakened force would be constantly coming fresh troops from Spain. “Let Spain get here all she intends to send, and then we play hide-and-seek with them until, aided by climatic conditions, we can combine all our forces, and strike a decisive blow at the sickening and cli- mate-worn forces of Spain.” That is about the reply that the insur- rectionists would make to criticism of their lack of aggressive activity. Already the government troops are scour- ing through Manzanillo, and Col. Santo- cildes has just telegraphed the governor here as to what action shall be taken in the event of the rebels in big or little groups desiring to surrender. Clearly San- Little The lead- | tocildes expects successes to his arms. ‘Troops are being sent to guard the planta- tions. The government has removed the duty of thirty cents hitherto imposed for the vize of foreign passports. The reason {s not stated. : No Expedition From Costa Rica. Joaquin Bernardo Calvo, charge d'affaires of Costa Rica, said in an interview last night: “I observe that in some recent publica- tions of the press, referring to Gen. Maceo, it is stated that an expedition started out from Costa Rica, and although the perfect fealty of the government of that republic appears from those publications, I deem it proper td state in the most ‘emphatic manner that no expedition has left Costa Rica, nor could any leave, because the gov- ernment maintains an active vigilance, and knows how to act most energetically to pre- vent the abuse of its territory as against any other country.” ———_+e+___ Calling Their Papers. . Complaint has been made recently con- cerning rewsboys calling aloud their pa- pers on Sundays, either early in the morn- ing before hours or after 10 a.m., the limit fixed by the police regulations. Because of these complaints Policeman Barbee yes- terday arrested James Crutchfield, Daniel Wilson and Allen Moss, colored boys, for calling aloud their papers after 10:30 a.m. The boys were given a hearing in the Po- lice Court this morning. Judge Kimball said that he had often heard newsboys crying their papers while- he was in church and he thought such annoyances should be stopped. ‘The law has been on the books for a long time,. he said, but for some reason it has not been enforced. He thought this was sufficient warning and took the boys’ personal bonds. William Corrs, colored, was arrested by Policeman Harrover, and his personal bonds were also taken. é Nicotine Neutralized CHEW AND SMOKE. MAIL POUCH TOBACCO. NO NERVES QUAKING. NO HEART PALPITATING.

GENERAL FOREIGN TOPICS CHRISTIANIA, Norway, April 8.—The es- timates which are to be submitted to the storthing have been published and cause much comment. They give fresh impetus to the wild rumors of an impending war between Norway and Sweden. The esti- mates far exceed any previous sums re- quired. The sum of 4,000,000 kroner is to be voted to construct iron-clads. In addition, large credits will be asked for the purpose of munitions of war and for the completion of the forts of Tonsbergh harbor. MAY BE STARTLING REVELATIONS, Threats of a Witness in the Wilde Scandal. LONDON, April 8—There is not the slightest ground for the report that Oscar Wilde las attempted to commit suicide, and it is not true that even a rumor to this effect was current here last evening. Further startling revelations in connection with the Wilde case are hinted at. It is said that Alfred Taylor has determined to drag down with him all he can, if he is prosecuted, and that this will involve one of the most prominent men in England, whose name has been freely whispered about in connection with this scandal. A London Editor Fined. LONDON, April 8.—The editor of Fair Play was fined £50 today for contempt of court in commenting upon the action of Dr. W. Conyers Herring of New York against the Marine Insurance Company re- garding the burning of the schooner yacht Mohican, which sailed from New York in the latter part of November last, and was destroyed by fire at Southwick on March .7. Fair Play suggested that the Mohican was a perfectly useless craft, grossly over- valued, and that she was destroyed in or- der to get the insurance money. Counsel for Dr. Herring said that the latter was made offers to insure the yacht before she left the United States, but as Mrs. Herring was sailing with him he did not accept them, and insured the boat for £5,000 upon his arrival in England. ! The Campaign in Chitral. CALCUTTA, April 8.—Dispatches from Simla say that Uch and Kotgala will be occupied by the British forces from the Gilgit side of Chitral. Reports, which have reached Simla, confirm the announcement that the garrison of Chitral is safe, but at- tempts to open communication with that place have fuiled. The Fighting in Madagascar.

He then delivered his fare- well address. a READING REPORTS. Routine Matters Before the Confer- ence at Alexandria. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 8.—Rev. G. W. Parris of Concord conducted the devotional exercises at the opening of the fifth days’ session of the Maryland conference of the M. P. Church this morning. There was the largest attendance of ‘the session when it opened. The president was instructed to fill a vacancy in the faculty of instruction, caused by the death of Rev. Dr. E. R. Mc- Gregor. The report of the Sunday school committee was read and was adopted unanimously. The report on official character was read and owing to an error made by the secre- tary in failing to put in the blank furnished for that purpose a question in regard to the furnishing of disciplines to new members, there was considerable discussion, and it was returned to the committee for further consideration. ‘The report of the board of governors of the Westminster Theologjcal Seminary was read, and showed only five students on the roll. A contribution to the endowment fund by E. J. Hughes, late of the Central Church of Washington, was reported. The trustees “of the conference, J. W. Charlton, F. T. Little, Joseph H. Elliott, C. A. Benjamin, were re-elected, the secre- tary casting the ballot. Rev. I. A. Barnes, from the West Virginia conference, was introduced, and made a few remarks. He was followed by Rev. L. L. Albright of the North Carolina confer- ence, the bearer of fraternal greetings. The secretary of the board of foreign Missionary Society read his report. Dr. F. T. Tagg introduced a resolution to the effect that the president be directed to send transfers to such members of the con- ference who are in Japan and members of the Japan conference. This was opposed by Dr. Kinzer, Dr. Little and others, while it was supported alone by Dr. Tagg. It was laid on the table by a unanimous vote. Several committees held meetings in the basement during the afternoon. There was a business meeting of the Church Exten- sion Society at 3 o'clock, and the annual meeting of the society will be held tonight. oe Sunday School Organized. A Sunday school was organized Sunday at the Dupont Circle Church, corner of Massachusetts avenue and 18th street, Rev. Hugh Johnson, D. D., pastor. The foilow- ing officers were elected: C. M.

Mrs. Somers, principal of Mt. Vernon Seminary, has taken a great deal of e, which was man- ted by the beautiful floral decorations which adorned the altar, also the exquisite music which was rendered by a choir of young ladies from her seminary. Miss Mc- Coy of Mt. Vernon Seminary also gave a solo. Dr. R. W. Springer preached at 11 a.m. and Dr. Johnson at 7:30 p.m. Next Sunday being Easter, music will be fur- nished by young ladies from Mt.

INDIAN TERRITORY COURTS The Controller of the Treasury’s Opinion as to Payment of Salaries. The Judges Can Receive Pay, but the Marshals and District Attorneys Must Await Confirmation. ————— Judge Bowler, controller. of establishes several importanti legal prin- ciples in an cpinion given‘today in regard to the payment of the salaties ¢f the judges and other officers of the courts created by the act “To provide for the appointment of additional judges of ths United States court in the Indian terr{tory;” approved March 1, 18. He holds that there is ample avthority for the payment of the clerks of the several couris,uthe deputy. clerks of said district courts, amd the clerk of the-court of appeals, and also the mar- shals and deputy marshal, in addition to district attorneys, and commis- jficaly named As constables ally named tn eis anteara not ccme under any of the’ designatio oe et Uificers therein provided for, the con- troller says, there is at present ro appro- priation av for the payment of their salaries, altho! no doubt Congress thought they were providing for the pay- ment of all the cfficers created by the act of March 1, 1895, and would, he says, have made provision for the constables had their attention been called to the matter. Their failure to make such an appropriation can- not, however, he says, be corrected by the executive branch of the government. Date of Payment. The controller also discusses the con- stitutiena! question as to whether the ad- ditional judges provided for by said act can be paid from the date of their qualifi- cation, or whether they come within the restrictive provisions of section 1761, R. 8. Section 1761 provides that “no money shall be paid from the treasury, as salary, to any person appointed during the recess of the Senate, to fill a vacancy in any exist- ing office, if the vacancy existed while the Senate was in session, and was by law required to be filled py and with the advice and consent of the Senate, until such ap- pointee has been confirmed by the Senate.” Article 2, section 2, paragraph 3, of the Constitution of the United States provides: “The President shall have power to fill up ail vacancies that may happen during the recess of the Senate by granting commis- sions, which shall expire at the end of their next session.” “It has been uniformly held by the various Attcrneys General, from Attorney General Wirt to the present time,” says Controller Bowler, “that under the clause from the Constitution aboye quoted it is within the power of the President to fill vacancies existing during a recess of the Senate which originated during a session of the Senate, the words ‘may happen dur- ing the recess’ being considered as equiva- lent to ‘may happen to exist during the recess.’ And it has been specifically held that this applies to offices which have been created during a session of Congress, and which have not been filled by an original appointment by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. Had Constitutional Power. It follows from these opinions of the va- rious Attorneys General, which have been followed in practice by the executive, that the President had the constitutional power and authority to appoint the additional judges provided for in the act of March 1, 1895, without recourse to-the clause in sec- tion 2 of said act specifically empowering him to make such appointments during the recess of the Senate. That the President relied upon his constitutional right to make appointments under such circumstances is clearly shown by his act in appointing the district attorneys and marshals provided for in section 2 of said act, arid in regard to whose appointment during the recess no such authority was given ds that in regard to the appointment of the judges. Marshals and Attorneys Must Wait. “It follows that the marshals*and district attorneys are not, at present; entitled to receive the salaries provided ‘by law for those offices, but must await’ the receipt thercof until they have béen confirmed by the Senate; and so, also,’ thé additional judges appointed under the’ act.of March 1, 1895, notwithstanding the’ clduse quoted from section 2 of said act, purporting to empower the President to make the ap- pointments during the recess sof the Sen- ate. That clause conferred, no power upon the President which he [did not already have. It does not direct the payment of the judges so appointed, and, therefore, does not repeal or modify the provisions of section 1761, Revised Statutes, expressly prehibiting such payments.- If Congress intended that the judges shculd be paid, notwithstanding the provisions of section 1761, Revised Statutes, they certainly have failed to express their intention, and I know of no way to ascertain their inten- tion except from the language they have used; and if such were their intention it seems probable that they would have in- cluded the marshals and district attorneys and not restricted payment to the judges.” The controlier therefore decides that the judges, marshals and the district attorneys cannot be paid until their appointments have been confirmed by the Senate. The other officers provided for in the act of March 1, 189%, not being appointed by the President by and with the advice and con- sent of the Senate, but by other officers, to wit, the clerks by the courts; the deputy clerks by the clerks themselves; the dep- uty Marshals by the marshals; the com- missioners and constables by the judges, may be paid their salaries monthly, ex- cept the constables, for whom no appropria- tion has been made. SOLEMN AND IMPRESSIVE Funeral Services Held Over the Remains of Bev. John T. Delaney. Tributes of Cardinal Gibbons and Father Andreis—Sorrow and Tears —The After Services. Intensely solemn and impressive was the scene this morning in the Holy Name of Jesus Church during the funeral services conducted over the remains of Rev. John T. Delaney, late pastor of that church, who died Thursday last. The spacious edifice was densely packed, and, notwith- standing the rain, the sidewalks outside the church for a square in both directions were well filled with persons who were un- able to gain admission to the church. The interior was darkened and draped with crepe, the only light being that sup- plied by the altar cardles and those burn- ing at the head and foot of the casket, which rested without cover at the head of the center aisle. Many beautiful fioral tributes stood near the casket and about the altar. Cardinal Gibbons occupied his place in the sanctuary, and seated near him was Bishop John G. Keane. The first few rows of pews were‘occupied by priests clad in cassocks. Beside the body of Fath- er Delaney on each side stood a Knight of St. John in full regalia, while other mem- bers of the commandery were posted at intervals in the aisles. Walter's reé mass was celebrated, with Rev. Father Gioyd, rector of St. Patrick's Church, hcting as fefebrant; Mark S. Gross of St. Paul’s Church, deacon of the mass; Rev. John J. Dougherty of St. Stephen's, subdeacon; Rev. James F. Mac- kirn of St. Paul's Church, deacon of honor, and Rev. C. Gillespie of St. Aloysius, sub- deacon of honor. At its conclusion, Rey. J. L. Andrets of St. Leo’s Church, Baltimore, preached an elo- quent funeral sermon. After stating that the mass was offered for the eternal rest of Father Delaney’s soul,Father Andreis char- acterized the dead man as a good soldier of Christ and a good Christian athlete. He was armed with fortitude and zeal to wage war against vice, which he did unremitted- ly, said the speaker, who added that Father Delaney was always at the post assigned him, where he worked faithfully. His mind and heart were constantly with the people under his charge, continued Father Andreis, for he knew that the possibilities for evil are ever present, and he pointed out to the young the glory in conquering sin. “Only four years ago he was appointed to build up a new parish in this section of Washington,” Father Andreis went to say, “and in that short time he proved himself an apostle. While he is gone from you ke still lives in you. Father Delaney’s spirit was your spirit, for when he offered up his soul to heaven he offered up your souls. The bond of love and charity is not severed between you and him.” While Father Andreis was speaking the grief of those assembled in the church could not be controlled, and sobbing and weeping were general. These sounds, to- gether with the monotonous patter of rain- drops on the roof of the church, made the occasion one to be remembered. Cardinal Gibbons’ Tribute. When Father Andreis had concluded, Cardinal Gibbons arose and announced that he felt it his duty to add something to what had been said. “I am not surprised at contemplating the sorrow impressed on your faces and the tears in your eyes,” said the cardinal. “You have lost your first pastor and your best earthly friend. Your sorrow is akin to that of a mother upon the loss of her first child. A char- acteristic virtue of Father Delaney, in my estimate, was his spirit of charity, love and peace, which is the character of God himself. To have peace with all men as far as lay in his power was the most striking characteristic of Father Delaney and also the secret of your sorrow. “I have lost a faithful co-worker,” con- cluded Cardinal Gibbons, “the clergy of the diocese have lost a faithful friend, and you have lost a father and a friend.” Further Services. The remain were viewed by those in the church, while many persons tarried in the pews to offer prayer. At 1 o’clock the honorary pallbearers, Rev. Wm. E. Starr of Corpus Christi Church, Baltimore; Rev. Theo. D. Mead of Taneytown, Md.; Rev. S. F. Ryan of Immaculate Conception Church, Washington; Rev. John Barry of Petersville, Md.; Rev. Jobn M. Jones of St. Joseph’s Church, Washington, and Rev. Thomas J. Broiderick of St. Martin’s Church, Baltimore, conducted the casket to the doorway of the church, and there turned it over to the pallbearers of the Knights of St. John, Messrs. W. A. Mc- Carthy, William Sauter, F. P. Whtte, Al. Ward, John H. Callahan and Hanra who placed it.in the hearse. The cortege, under escort #fjthe Uniform Rank of Holy Name Commandery, Knights of St. John, proceeded to the Baltimore and Ohio de- ot by way of ith street and Maryland aeeries 'The body” taken to Baltimore on the 2:20 t . r services will be held tomorrow dng at 10 o'clock in St. Martin’s Church, Baltimore, where Fa- ther Delaney spent his early days as as- sistant pastor. ‘The interment will be made in Bonnie Brae cemetery. ‘The music during the services today was rendered by the choir of Holy Name Church, comprising Misses Callie Collins, Rese Geier, Kate Ward, Susie, Agnes and Maggie Killeen, Agnes Sauter, Lulu Friz- zell, Kate Geier, May Thyson, Olivia Jacobs, Grace Allwine, Mrs. “Bishop, Mrs. Reuth, Messrs.

The system is already used here to some extent to facilitate the deliv- eries at the suburban stations—the George- town and ‘renleytown road carrying the mail from the Georgetown station to Ten- leytown and Bethesda, the Rock creek road to the station at Chevy Chase, where the 7th str2et electric line takes it on to Bright- wood, and the electric road in Alexandria distributing and collecting the mail along its route to Mount Vernon and New Alex- andria. Where the System is at Its Bent. In Brooklyn the system is at its best. Here whole cars have been given up to the postal service, and are fitted up with benches, bags and pigeon holes, with regu- lar clerks on the different runs, as on rail- way runs. When the mail is received at the central office it is sorted for delivery to the various districts of the city. The bags are put on the mail cars, to be carried to their destination, with the clerks sorting the letters en route, throwing off the pouches as they come to the station, and receiving thos> which are to go to the cen- tral office. In this way a great deal of time is saved both at the central office and at the substations. In the more distant parts of the city carriers make a substa- tion their headquarters, instead of coming all the way in, and are thus enabled to make more trips, both for delivery and col- lection. Brooklyn, however, is peculiarly adapted to this methcd of mail delivery and collection on account of the large number of substations being on the car lines, and it remains to be seen how many stations are situated on the different lines in this city before the same plan can be put jnto operation here. The system is practically-the same in Philadelphia and Chicago, the latter city having just introduced it. In Philadelphia half the car is used as a mail car and the other half as a “smoker,” but in Chicago the whole car will probably be fitted up for the use of the Post Office Department. ‘Although the mail facilities in this city are nothing to complain of, yet every idea to save time is unquestionably good, and as soon as a careful survey of the city has been made, to ascertain how many stations are on the car lines, the system, if practi-. cable, will be put into operation. What the City Post Office Authorities Say. This matter of transfer of the mails by street cars comes under the general head of star routes, and as such is under the jurisdiction of the second assistant post- master general. The authorities at the city post office, as a rule, do not view the proposition with great favor. They are naturally in favor of any innovation that will facilitate the collection and delivery of the mails, but, owing to the character of the city, the location of the substations and the directions in which the car lines run, they do not regard the system as well adapted to the city’s needs. If the post office were in its new building on the ave- nue the story would be a different one, but as it is, located on G street east of 7th street, the question is simply whether the mails cannot be collected quicker through the agency of the substations and by means cf the cab service. At any rate, little if anything has been done as yet looking to the introduction of the new system in this city. Postmaster Willett is one of those who believe in advanced methods, and he thinks that by the time the post office is in its handsome new home there will be a sys- tem of underground pneumatic tubes in use by means of which the mails can be received at headquarters at frequent in- tervals, and with practically no delays. The street car service works extremely well when a city is spread out over a con- siderable territory or along the line of a long road, as is the case in St. Louis, where there is.an electric road in the nelghbor- ocd of fifteen miles in length. When the system was first proposed there the city did not have the system of substations which prevails here, and which has proved such a great help in the work of collection. One Improvement Asked For. There is one improvement in the local mail service for which the local post office officials have long contended, and that is the abandonment of the present fourth- class post offices within the District lines and the substitution therefor of braach post offices, making the whole District into the city of Washington, so far, at least, as the mails are considered. Owing to the failure of the department to provide suit- able facilities for the star routes within the District the mail service at Anacostia, for instance, is notoriously unsatisfactory and cannot be compared with that at Be- thesda, which is just outside the District line. Among the points which would bene- fit by this change of system are Anacostia, Brookland, Lanier Heights, Benning,Brigat- wocd and one or two others. With the extension of the free delivery service many of the complaints which are now raised against things as they are would be done away with. In its work of improving the mail facik ities within the clty limits the postmaster has made arrangements for opening three important branch stations on the first of next month. These are to be located in the Masonic Temple drug sto-e, 9th and F streets; at A. M. Daniel’s store, 1900 14th street, and at Franci Petroia’s, 659 Penn- sylvania avenie southeast. On the first of this month stations were opened at the southwest corner of Ist and F strects, and at $d street and Pennsylvania avenue,-in the Belvedere drug store. ‘NDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS.
