Food for thé Starving Cub: The War Department is informed that the Comal sailed from Tampa to Havana yesterday with one million rations for dis- tribution to the starving people of Cuba. The rations will be distributed by Lieu- tenant A. D. Niskern, under the direction of Captain Lotus Niles of the artillery. Supplies will be furnished to other prov- inces in the island under the direction of officers of the army as emergency may de- mand. There will be no difficulty regard- ing the entry of the supply vessels to Cuban ports or their distribution under the direction of United States army officers, as the Spanish authorities in Cuba are glad to have the provisions sent in. ee Big Monitors Ordered North.

The Delaware Repu! ican Ticket— California Nominees—Po: ist Basket Picnic. Representative J. W. Bailey was unani- mously renominated at Sherman, Tex., yes- terday on a platform which declares that the state convention has no right to in- struct its representatives in Congress on the question of expansion or any other question of national policy. The platform ‘declares squarely against expansion, and indorses Mr. Bailey's posi- tion in every particular, and leaves him free to vote on any national question until the national democratic convention formu- lates the policy of the party on the ques- tion of the annexation of the territory taken from the Spaniards during the war. The Delaware Ticket. At the regular Delaware republican state convention yesterday the following candi- dates on the state ticket were nominated: For congressman—John Henry Hoffricker of Smyrna. For state treasurer—Dr. L. Heisler Ball of Faulkland. For state auditor—John A. Lingo of Long Neck. The nominations were of the “dark horse” order, excepting Mr. Lingo. ‘The ticket was received with favor by the unionists, as Mr. Hoffricker was the candi- date for governor at the last election, and harmony may be the result in the repub- lican ranks. Resolutions were adoptea in- dorsing the present republican administra- n and heartily commending the Straight- forward and wise Statesmanship of - resi- dent McKinley. The resolutions also favor- ed a vigorous foreign policy, the main- tenance of the present gold standard, a re- vival of American shipping and a tariff ad- justed upon protective lines. Nothing was said regarding territorial expansion. The union republicans will hold their conven- tion next Tuesday. California Nominations. The California republican state conven- tion adjourned ye: erdey after an exceed- ingly peaceful session. The nominations for state and congr nal offices made by the convention are as follows: Governor—Henry T. Ze. Lieutenant Governor—Jacob F. Neff. Secretary of state—Charles F. Curry. Controller—E. P.

A basket picnic was held yesterday after- noon and last night at Elitch’s gardens, Denver, under the auspices of the leaders of the populist party of Colorado. At the meeting in the afternoon Senator Marion C. Butler of North Carolina, national chair- man of the populist party, was the prin- cipal speaker. Mr. T. M. Patterson, pro- prietor of the Rocky Mountain News, acted as chairman of the meeting. Mr. Patterson said that the silver men of the nation forced the administration to declare war against Spain, and predicted that after having won the Philippines by fcrce of arms the administration would re- linquish them to Spain. He advocated the retention of the islands by this govern- ment. Mr. Patterson favored united action by all silver forces until the money que tion is settled. Senator Butler tween urged co-operation be- his party and all other friends of silver in the coming campaign. He said the worst enemies of the silver cause were those who were trying to divide its friends, because they differed on other questions. He talked at length en tru Free silver, he said, by increasing the vol ume of money, raising prices and increas ing business, would rapidly drive the trusts to the wall. Senator Butler declared that the nation needed a big navy, and said he would vote for one, but declared that the work of the volunteers in Cuba and the Philippines proved that a large regular army is not necessary. Jerry Simpson and Congressman also spoke. Bell Congressional Nominations. Iowa—Fourth district, C. N. Hangen, re- publican; ninth district, James A. Lemon, fusion; seventh district. C. 0.

London advices of yesterday state that the dispateh cabled to New York to the effect that Lord Salisbury before leaving for France informed her majesty, the queen, that in the present critical state of the relations with Russia he must resign, unless her frequently expressed veto upon the prosecution of diplomacy to the point of war during her lifetime was withdrawn and he wus given an absolutely free hand, and that, thereupon, the ministry made definite proposals to Russia, which, in ef- fect, amounted to an ultimatum, is an elaboration of the current gossip of the clubs and the sensational weeklies, and is obviously impossible of confirmation or de- nial. Circumstantial evidence all goes to disprove the statements. Lord Salisbury has been spending his vacation since parliament adjourned in Frence. Sir Thomas Henry Sanderson, per- manent under secretary of state for for- eign affairs, and other most important offi- cials of the foreign office, and likewise the Russian ambassador to Great Britain, M. de Staal, have been on the continent for a long time. Apparently there are no im- portant negotiations afoot. England abandoned the open door policy because Russia closed the door in her face, as has been pointed out, and retreated to the policy of spheres of influence, because it is necessary to appear to have some Chinese policy. Two British ships were withdrawn from Chinese waters yesterda; —_——_—_. NEW ATLANTIC LINERS. Subsidy France. United States Consul Thackera, at Havre, reports to the State Department that the French government has entered into an agreement with the Compagnie Generale Transatlantique for the construction in France of three new mail steamers of 22 knots speed, to be completed within five years, with a view not only of securing @ still more rapid mail, passenger and fr2ight service between France and the United States, but also of keeping pace with the record breakers of the present era. Adding together the amount paid es bounty for speed and that paid for subsidy, the company now receives $11.06 for every mile steamed. The rate will be increased under the new arrangements. Consul ‘Thackera says: “It is truc that government support to Atlantic liners is a serious tax upon the coffer of the treasury. The question arises, however, as to whether the expenditure is not warranted and fuliy repaid: first, by the traffic and trade which fast ships are certain to bring, and, second, by the fact that the vessels, being constructed to cerve as auxiliary cruisers in time of war, are, to all intents and purposes, government Broperty.”” Bounty and Paid by VESSELS REACH HAVANA The Port and Wharves of the City Assuming Their Usual Look.

Mrs. Julia Helen Bull, the Red Cross nurs2 who proved hers2If such a heroine both at Santiago and on board the tran port Seguranca, was the victim of an un- fortunate blunder Wednesda: She vas arrested at No. 208 West S5th street, charged with intoxication. She was aken to the West 68th street station, wher he gave her name and told she was a F Cross nurse, insisting that she had clip- pings and documents in her pockets to prove her assertion. For some reason the police did not taka her pocketbook from her, nor did they go to the trouble of looking into it to see if Mrs. Bull was telling the truth. She was simply charged with intoxication and taken to the West 47th street station and placed in charge of the matron. Soon after arriving there Mrs. she was very ill and believed = Bull sald had ty- phoid fever. She told the matron she was' a Red Cross nurs>. But the matron had heard strange storics before, and paid no heed to this one, which she did not believe. Mrs. Bull was arraigned in the West 54th, street court yest2rday morning, where she told her story, and was promptiy discharge ed by Magistrate Pool. . Bull told the court she had gone yes- y afternoon to a bairdre , where her head had be2n bathed in alcohol. Afterward she had been taken in a car- riage to No, 208 West 85th st, where she has friends whom she wished to visit. She pulled at several of the bells in the hall, but, her friends not being at hom she was unable to get in. ‘The janitor came as she wa: the hall and told her to leave, t friends did not live thera. Mrs. Bull became indignant, and resented the janitor’s interference, when he called a policeman and had her arrest2d. Mrs. Bull denied having been intoxicated. The alcohol on her hair, she thinks, might have affected her for a Short time. Mrs. Bull’s record as a Red © is on2 that does her infinite cre: For thirteen days, alone and unaided either by nurse or physician, she labored among the ill and wounded. Night and day she worked, with no thought of self. There were 191 stricken mn aboard the transport nding in at her oss nurse Seguranca, and she cared for each and every one of them. CARE OF NATIONAL PARK! Report of Special Inspector J. W. Zevely Received. Detailed reports from Segraria and Gen- eral Grant National Parks indicate that the United States forces had ejected 45,000 head of sheep from those parks. In a re- port received from Special Inspector J. W. Zevely, it is said no serious damage result- ed from the forest fires that have been raging there, and that the grove of big trees was not reached.
