The most noticeable de- fect is in the treasury numbers, which, although of good color, are too heavy and out of alignment. The paper is good, and the silk threads ef the genuine-are cleverly imitated by pen and ink lines on the back of the counterfetr note. Detectives Horne and Weedon have re- ceived a white and yellow striped blanket supposed to have been stolen. The blanket is held at headquarters for identification. <== Castoria For Infants and Children. CASTORIA DESTROYS WORMS. E. RANKIN DESIRES CONFERENCE | DELAY IS DESIRED Gonzalo de.

Even now, while the Spanish are filling the newspa- bers with these allegations about his desire for peace on other terms than absolute in- dependence, he is having read to his armies ard to the commands of other leaders the declaration that was issued by Jose Marti and himself in April, 1895.” “What was the nature of that declara- tion?” inquired the reporter. “It is the proclamation that has become the gospel of every patriot who is strug- gling in behalf of Cuban liberty,” sald Quesada, “‘and you might as well try to make a devout Christian deny his Bibic as to endeavor to make a Cuban disregard the words of Marti and Gomez. Here is the document.” Quesada handed the reporter a printed slip, the translation of which is as follow: The Cuban Declaration of Rights. “General Headquarters in Campaign. 2 -- FAIR, TOMORROW, But It is Predicted That 1t Will Be’| : "Golder. 4 Forecast till 8 p.m. Wednesdéy.—For the District of Columbia, Delawere, Maryland | and Virginia, fair; colder Wednesday morn- ing; ncrthwesterly winds, — Weather conditions and general: forecast. | —The stcrm at the nouth of the St. Law- rence has ffioved off the Nova Scotia coast, ' increasing markedly in intensity,a pressure of 20.08 # eying oetorty-ealied per hour being reported from Halifax. : d ‘The subpermaneat ‘@réa. in ee fddle lateau hae glyen way to a depression sys- | ranean Gat in Wyoming.

The revolution which has broken out in Cuba never thought of ad- mitting, nor of hearing even, owing to the radical incapacity of Spain and the patent insufficiency for Cuba of the greatest amount of Spanish liberty, of any proposi- tion whatsoever from Spain, directly or in- directly, which will tend to have the C bans give up their arms with anything less than the recognition of the independence of the country. All the armies raised to extirpate the foreign government have signed the obligation to uphold until they fall the war for absolute independence. “An American people like that of Cuba, with a character and elements of its own, capable of governing itself by the genius and labor of her children, and unified after slavery, in the sacrifice of war cannot con- tinue in needless dependency of a far-away country like Spain, of a different spirit, and which is threatened at no distant day with disruption, and whose vicious national existence principally depends in the public and secret spoliation of our island. “Mere changes of names in the Spanish councils of government in Cuba, nor any reform whatsoever, can change the indis- putable fact of the absolute inability of Spain to deprive herself of the great re- sources that by public and private means, as corrupt as they are corrupting, she de- rives from the island. The deplorable aid that a small group of Cubans give to the Spanish aim of localizing the war, suppos- ing the war, by the lips of some in the ser- vice of Spain, to have local or other kind of tendencies unworthy of reputation and radically different from its ample and lofty spirit, known by the very ones who deny it in public, is but an error as punishable as it will be opportune to repent for it, and as natural as the resistance, always van- quished, of men who are afraid of sacrifice, ee men antagonistic to the duties of human- ity.

He who pretends to stop with duplicity the war for independence commits a crime. “Therefore, the revolution, through its representatives, elected in power until it shall have designated others, in compliance with its dutiés, orders you that in case propositions are made to you, whatever be their form, or the person bringing them, of surrender, cessation of hostilities, or ar- rangement which may not be the recogni- tion of the absolute independence of Cuba, said offensive propositions not being more than a ruse of war to Isolate or disturb the revolution, you shall summarily punish this crime with the penalty provided for traitors to the country. “With greetings to you and to the forces angen your command, in country and lib- erty. “The delegate: “The commander-in- “26th of April, 1895. Martyrdom Before Misery. “That tells the irspiration of Cubans in their present struggle,” said Quesada, with a touch of pride in his tone. “It means that they will suffer martyrdom before they will again submit to the misery of Spanish rule, no matter. how it may be cloaked in the disguize of reforms. And Gomez,” he ejaculated in conclusion, “‘is more earnest now, if such a thing were possible, in his loyalty to the Policy set forth in that“ magnificent declaration than he was when it was penned by the illus- trlous Marti. He has seen her send her millions of money and her scores of thou- sands of men into the Island of Cuba aud he has‘scen all that treasure and strength held in check and baffled and beaten in its purpose, just because himself and his patriotic companions have freedom—abso- lute freedom—as their object and will ac- cept nothing else.” . ———_.

Suddem Death Reported and Other Local Notes of General Inter- eat to All Concerned. The family of James Tucker, the unfor- tunate lineman, who was recently caught beneath a fallen pole on Water street, near 8ist street, during which both legs were broken in several places, and one mashed so badly that amputation is deemed neces- sary, is reported to be in need of the neces- saries of life. His wife and six children live at 2077 32d street, and are without sufficient food, clothing and fuel. The case was referred some time ago to the Asso- ciated Charities, but so far no relief has been afforded from that direction. The superintendent of Oak Hill cemetery yes- terday donated the family a load of wood, while a kind-hearted neighbor sent in some clothing and some food, all of which were badly needed. Sudden Death. James Johnson died yesterday after a comparatively short illness at 3005 M street, where he had been living for some time. The deceased was in his sixty-first year, and had spent some time in the army. He was a native of Lancashire, England, and shortly after coming to this country enlisted in Company B, 6th Regiment of United States Cavalry, reaching the rank of corporal. His funeral will be held to- morrow afternoon at 4 o'clock from the undertaking establishment of John B. Mc- Carthy at 3335 M street.
