THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 1895. COLOR LINE: DRAWN Miss Kittie Knox Re- fused a Badge at the L. A. W. Meet. CYCLERS IN A TANGLE, Action of the Credentials Committee Is Generally Condemned. PARADE OF THE WHEELMEN. The Denver Contingent Takes First Prize Both for Numbers and Appearance. ASBURY PARK, N. J., July 9.—The second day of the ional League of American Wheelmen meet here proved most enjoyable. The weather could not have been fairer or the roads in better con- dition. Hundreds of cyclers from every section of the Union, Canada and even Bu- TOD! rived with wheels and gay badges on every train; bands played marches and the register of visitors at the clubhouse of the Ashury Park Wheelmen fairly bulged out with its host of entries, while the seemingly inexhaustible supply of creden- tial buttons waxed lower and lower in the committeemen’s desks. Following close upon the Denver, Pitts- burg and Harrisburg coutingents, which arrived vesterday, came large delegations of the Chicago Cycle Clut syivania Wheelmen, Time Wheelmen, Ceatury Wheelmen and Press Cycle Club <« Phila- delphia. : The only Arthur Augustus Zimmerman, ¢ like a typical Jersey farmer, and his side partner, Harry Wheeler, took the Denver men in tow last night and prome- naded them about town and over the beach until the travel-sore hearts of the Rocky Mountain men were faint and their shoes were full of sand, but with no disccaraging effect upon their irrepressible lungs and wild Western yells. To-day the only excitements have been the run to Long Branch, through the Inter- laken and Elberon, by the famous Surf road, the great parade and the discussior of Miss Kittie Knox’s case. She is an ex: tremely comely colored girl irom Boston, who recently won the first prize in the Malden cycle parade for wearing the most tastefal and artistic woman’s wheeling garb. When Miss Knox, whose appearance and dress had been objects of admiration all day, walked into the committee-room at the Jocal clubhouse and presented her league card for a credential badge the gen- tleman in charge refused to recognize the card, and the young woman withdrew very quietly. Then the discussion commenced. Ninety- nine out of every hundred members inter- viewed express the heartiest sympathy for her and condemnation of the hast; of the badge committee. The first vice- president of the L. A. W., G. A. Perkins of Boston, said to-day that he considered the refusal entirely unwarranted. The great parade was reviewed at the league headquarters in the Ocean Hotel by Vice-President Perkins, Secretary and Treasurer Van Nort of the Pennsylvania division, Frederick Gerlach, George K. Barrett, W. Montague Perrett and F. J. ‘Wagner of Chicago, E. C. Bode of Cleve- land, Andry O. McGarritt of Boston, C. A. Limon of Philadeiphia and Chief Counsel Gentle of the New Jersey division, who acts as one of the judges to award prizes for the clabs parading the largest delega- tion and the crganization making the finest appearance. The principal thoroughfares were lined with citizens, visitors and excursionists, and the scene was one of extraordinary beauty. The Denver Wheel Club carried first prize for both numbers and appear- ance, parading fifty-four men and womeu, all attired in spotless white linen suits and yachting caps. The second prize went to the Keystone Wheelmen of Philadelphia and the third to the Mercer Wheelmen Club of Trenton. The clubs prominent in the line were the Pennsylvania Bicycle Club, Time Wheelmen, Quaker City Wheel- men and Pennsylvania Wheelmen of Phil- adelphia, the Harrisburg Wheel Club, Mec- Keesport Wheelmen and the Portsmouth (Va.) Wheel Club. The ladies’ division, led by Mrs. Bough- ton of New York, showed fifty-seven women, thirty-three of whom wore the bloomer costume, ten short skirts and the remainder the conventional habit. GL»\D;‘ IN GOoTHAM. Thoroughly Exzamining the New York Police System. NEW YORK,-N. Y., July 9.—Police Commissioner M. A. Gunst, who has been in the city for several davs, is making a thorough examination of the New York police system, with a view to improving the San Francisco department. Thus far Commissioner Gunst says he has discov- ered but one point in which New York surpasses San Francisco, and that is in the matter of station-houses. He will carry West with him detailed plans of the construc- tion and fittings of the New York police stations, in the interests of having some- thimg similar provided in San Francisco. e GRAND LODGE OF ELKS. Little Hope of Healing the Breach in the Order. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., July 9.—The Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Elks opened its annual session here to-day. There seems to be little prospect of healing the breach inthe order. The delegates to to-day’s gathering, who represent what is known as the ‘‘Atlantic City faction,” claim that the Buffalo convention, which was_held by the ‘‘Jamestown faction’ at Buffalo in May, was irregular and that its aut?&rity would not be upheld by the courts. i R RFEID’S HEALTH RESTORED. Greatly Benefited by His Recent Trip to Egypt. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 9.—The many friends and admirers of Whitelaw Reid will be gratified to learn that his health is now fully restored. His trip to Egypt benefited him beyond all expectations. At one time he thought of accompanying D. 0. Mills to the Pacific Coast, but he finally decided to stay in New York. D.O. Mills will leave for San Francisco about the last of July and will pass several weeks in California. —_— CROPS IN CENTRAL STATES. Flattering Outlook for Growing Crops of Corn and Wheat. CHICAGO, Irr., July 9.—The reports as to the condition of crops throughout the country and the general influenceof the weather cn cultivation, growth and har- vest were to-day made by the directors of the different State weather services. synopsis of the reports telegraphed to Chi- cago are as follows: The temperature conditions of the week have been generally favorable throughout the country. Corn has made very rapid growth during the week, and, except in Michigan, the general outlook for this crop is excellent. Arkansas reports tvhe largest crop in vears, and in Kansas, Ne- braska, Towa. Illinois and Missouri the out- look is most promising. The general out- look for spring wheat continues flattqrmf. The winter wheat harvest is practically completed and threshing continues gen- eral, — - THE WOMAN ON THE WHEEL. She Has Not Been Condemned by Ex- President Harrison, XEW YORK, N. Y., July 9.—A special to the Recorder from Indianapolis says: GeneraPHarrison to-day was questioned regarding s reported statement that he was against the woman cyclist. He spoke with some warmth, saying: “I have never told any newspaper man that I was opposed to women riding the wheel. Many of my women friends and neighbors here in Indianapolis ride the wheel and ride it well. I consider it a | health-giving exercise when not carried to | an extreme, but it is one that may be at- tended with some danger to a careless rider. “My daughter, Mrs. McKee, is at Sara- toga with her son, Benjamin McKee, and both ride; new wheels were shipped to them | last week. 1 have frequently spoken to | friends on the subject, but have not said | what is said in the story printed in New | York. Idomnot believe a man’s opinien | would go far if it were against so populara | form of amusement.” The friends of Genefal Harrison are ughing at the attempt to make volitical capital out of the subject. The story | originally started from a letter from a | citizen of Dana, Indiana, where General | Harrison was recently squirrel hunting. | In this letter the Dana citizen says Gen- | eral Harrison said he thought the woman | in question was giving a very unpleasant LK OF SCROL WO TALK OF Fifteen Thousand Educators Begin Their Annual Session. Californians Are Honored With High Offices in the National Council. DENVER, Coro., July 8.—The first ses- sion of the thirty-fourth annual conven- | tion of the National Educational Associa- | tion was held at the Central Presbyterian Church this afternoon, in the presence of 000 persons, the utmost capacity of the building, thousands of others being turned away from the doors. It is conceded by the railroad officials that no less than 15,000 people have so far arrived in thecity either as delegates or visitors te the con- vention. So great was the overflow at the opening that arrangements were made for another meeting at the High School build- ing, which was addressed by Colonel Parker of Chicago, President de Garmo of Swarthmore College, and President Cook | of the Normal School of Illinois. Despite the long distance that most of the delegates were obliged to travel, the attendance has rarely been equaled in | numbers at any of the association’s meet- | ings, and never excelled in the character | of the educators in the deliberations. | Atthe session of the National Council this morning State Superintendent Black of California was appointed on the com- mittee to investigate and report a plan for reorganization of ungraded schools. Earl Barnesof Palo Alto, Cal., was elected vice- president of the National Council, and Charles H. Keyes of California was elected a member to fill a vacancy. The opening session of the general con- vention was called to order at o’clock, and after prayer by Dr.J. ‘reeman, pastor of the Central Presbyterian Church, Aaron Gove, Superintendent of Schools of Denver and chairman of the arrange- ments committee, made a brief address of welcome. He was followed by Lieutenant- Governor J. L. Brush, who represented the State of Colorado in the absence of Governor McIntyre in St. Louis. Mayor T. 8. McMurray spoke the welcome of the ¢l of Denver, after which Mrs. A. J. Peavey, State Superintendent of Schools, took the platform, receiving an ovation from the teachers present. Her address was on ‘‘Woman’s Work,"”” and she took for her task the exaltation of the sex in Colorado. Woman's part in educational progress was touched upon, and appiause frequently interrupted her. She welcomed the teachers in the name of Colorado women. Responses were made by President But- ler, Secretary Shepard ; Colonel Francis W. Parker, princifml of the Cook County Nor- mal School, Chicago; ex-Governor North- en of Georgia, once known as “the educa- tional Governor of the South,” who re- sponded for the teachers of the South, and incidentally said a word for the Cotton Exposition. After music by the Apollo Club, with twenty male voices, on motion of General John Eaton, ex-Commissioner of Educa- tion of the United States, a cablegram of greeting was sent to Commissioner of Edu- cation Harris and his traveling companion, Professor Greenwood of Kansas City, now in Edinburgh, Scotland. Protessor E. F. Hermans of the Denver schools gave a short address on the subject of physical training, calling attention to the necessity for keeping the body in proper condition during mental labor. He was followed by classes in physical train- ing, conducted by Professor Jacob Schmitt, irector of physical training of the Denver schools. Notice was given that to-morrow morn- ing constitutional amendments relative to elections and other matters would be submitted. SAD CAUSE OF A CRIME, Charles Gorman’s Love for His Child Led Him to Be- come a Robber. Shot to Death After He Had Stolen Money to Enable Him to At~ tend Its Funeral. CHICAGO, Irn, July 9.—The well- dressed robber, supposed to have been C. E. Cole, who was shot and killed outside the Auditorium last pnight by Detective Rosenthal, after he had held up a saloon- keeper named McGloin and wounded two men on the streets, was identified to-night as Charles Gorman, a bartender, who came here three weeks ago from New York, where he had worked at 1276 Broadway. Gorman was out of emrloyment, and was living with C. E. Cole, ‘also a bar- tender, at the Somerset House, Twelfth street and Wabash avenue, Last Sunday he received word from his home in 8i. Paul that his child was dead and his wife was dependent ou the charity of friends. He was offered §6 at a pawnshop fer his re- volver, but he needed & more to get to 8t. Paul to see his child buried, and it was in the effort to get money by crime that he met his death. g L Cold Weather in Iowa. SIOUX CITY, Towa, July 9.—Ice formed here last night.

EVERY TRAIN CROWDED. Reception Committees Kept Busy Receiving the Ar- rivals. GAY IN CRIMSON AND WHITE. Streets of the City Beautifully Dec~ orated In the Colors of the Order. BOSTON, Mass., July 9.—What might be called the spray thrown in advance of the great waves of the Christian Endeav- orers struck Boston to-day in the shape of detached delegates, who came in by the regular trains, Among the stragglers was a party of mnearly 200 Nebraskans, who reached the union station this forenoon. Most of the Endeavorers, however, came in singly or in groups of two or three, and they kept the reception committee on the jump, for few of them knew anything about the city or where they were to go. Three hundred Michigan delegates reached the Albany station shortly after noon. On the Chicago special, which was due at the Albany station at 3 o’clock, there were about fifty delegates, chiefly from Chicago. The Chicago and Cincin- nati express, which arrived at 9:45 last evening, brought more than fifty delegates from Michigan and Pennsylvania. On the 10:20 train from the West yesterday morn- ing five Idaho delegates arrived and were directed to the Clarendon-street Church, which is to be their headquarters, There was also & small party from Indiana, but they proceeded immediately to Newton, where they were to be enter- tained by personal friends. Three Illinois delegates also came in on this train. As the visitors enter the city they cannot fail to be delighted at the beautiful deco- rations of the nations. In one or {wo cases these approach the superb; the Na- tional colors intermingled finely with the crimson and white—the Christian En- deavor colors. Upon many of the great building of the city, the homes of Boston's thrifty and enterprising people, are seen outward decorations which have never been surpassed in elaborate arrangement even on political occasions or National holidays. From roof to sidewalk many of these buildings are hung with the red and white, while mottoes and inscriptions bid the visitors welcome. In the windows of the shops throughout the city the presence of the visitors is recognized both in deco- rations and in the arrangement of goods displayed for sale. The decorative effect in these windows is exquisite in the ex- treme. FOSTER ON* CANDIDATES Says Harrison Is Making No Effort for the Nom- ination. The Indlana Delegation Will Go to the Convention Without Any Pledge. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 9.—A Wash- ington special to the Press says: John W, Foster, who has just returned | from his fruitful mission in China, has lost | no time since his arrival in learning the political conditions. As Secretary of State under the Harrison administration he naturally is in close touch with the ex- President, and has availed himself of the earliest opportunity to discover what the prospects are of a return to the White House of his former chief. In the course of his hurried journey across the continent he had an opportunity to meet the political lieutenants of the ex- President, and his views of the conditions are therefore of interest. He said to-day that he did not regard ex-President Harri- son as in any way a candidate for another term. “Ido not know,” he said, “how the In- diana delecation will stand. Of course, if Mr. Harrison were a candidate they would go to the convention pledged to him, for | they are loyal to his interests and would rejoice to see him in the White House again. But Mr. Harrison is not a candi- date. He is making no effort for the nomi- nation. “If it comes to him it must be through the general voice of the Republican party, and any movement for his renomination could not properly secure its impetus from his own State. “If the feeling throughont the party in favor of Mr. Harrison should be so strong as to make it evident that the general de- sire was for his renomination, then, of course, the delegation from Indiana would glad(liy fall in line, so that as matters now stand, with no candidate from their own State, I think the Indiana delegates will go to the convention without any pro- nounced preference. Some of them will be for Allison, some for McKinley, others for Reed, if the inclinations of the 'Repub- licans in the State are to be taken as an indication of their probable action.” —_—— CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE CZAR. Discovery of a Plot of Nihilists to End His Life. PARIS, France, July 9.—~The Journal's correspondent at St. Petersburg announces the discovery, near Moscow, of an exten- sive conspiracy against the life of the Czar. The chief of the secret police, after tracing the conspiracy for months, sus- ceeded in arresting eight of ihe con- spirators, six of whom were recently par- doned Nihilists, The Czar rewarded the chief with a present of 10,000 rubles. e e PERU’S NEW PRESIDENT. He Was the Leader of the Revolutionary Party. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 10.— The Herald's special cable from Lima, Peru, says: 'gflwhi Pierala, leader of the revolu- tionary party, has been elected President and Mr. Billinghurst Vice-President. Reports from all parts of the republic show that the election was quiet., e Forty Workmen Killed. ALEXANDRIA, Ecyer, July 9.—A cais- son of a bridge, in course of erection by a firm Nasa-Hama, sank to-day with forty workmen, all of whom were killed. ST AR 7 A Lumber Company in Trouble. | was thrust into jail, and in a few hours he PROVIDENCE, R. L, July 9.—The Rice Bros. Lumber Company of this city, one of the largest firms of wholesalers in New England, is in financial trouble. Small ate tachments, which started from a disputed claim a few days ago, to-day resulted in other attachments for about $20,000. No statements of the probable assetsor lia- bilities can be secured, but they are under- stood to be large. gt WANTED IN NEW YORK. Charles Schlesinger Guilty of Many Petty Crimes. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 9.—Word was received at police headquarters to-day from the authorities at San Francisco that Charles Schlesincer had been arrested in that city, He1s wanted here. A year ago he opened a big clothing- store at Broadway and Eighth streets. The establishment was burned out. Two months ago Schlesinger took a troupe of pickaninnies to Europe. He left them | there. Two weeks ago he went #o the jewelry establishment of Henry Levy & Co., in Maiden lane, and procured $400 worth of diamonds to sell on memoran- dum. He either pawned or sold the dia- monds and kept the money. Then he tled from the city. The detectives of this city learned he had gone to San Fraucisco and the police of that city were notified to arrest him. Detective Sergeant Herdleburz will leave for San TFrancisco im a few days with requisition papers to bring him back. A QUIET AT GRAY GABLES. The President Steals Awaey on Another Fishing Trip. BUZZARDS BAY, Mass, July 9.— Everything is moving along nicely at Gray Gables as regards Mrs. Cleveland and her little daughter. The President, with Dr. Bryant and Joe Jefferson, spent a few hours at bass fishing in a pond near Crows Nest to-day. The lighthouse tender Verbena conveyed Secretary and Mrs. Carlisle and Secretary and Mrs. Morton to Falmouth this after- noon, where they spent the day with Sec- retary of State Olney and family, returning to Marion to-night. Secretary Carlisle will address the Bankers’ Association at Sara- toga to-morrow. Secretary Morton ex- pects to start to-morrow on his trip through the West. Private Seeretary Thurber was at Gray Gables a while this afternoon. Mrs, Perine, Mrs. Cleveland’s mother, arrived to-day on a visit to her daughter. THEIR BOAT CAPSIZED. Five Persons Drowned While Trying to Cross a Lgke. BATH, N. Y., July 9.—A drowning acci- dent occurred just off Bluff Point on Lake Kenaka to-day, in which five persons lost their lives. Terry Tuft, with his wife and three children, leit Gibbons} Landingina small boat to cross the lake. A strong wina capsized their boat and the whole party were arowned. DIES N A TURKISH JAIL An American Tourlst Placed Under Arrest Without Cause. The Hardships He Is Made to En- dure End His Life While Still a Captlve. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 9.—An Ameri- can gentleman who returned to this city on Saturday from the Orient brought in- formation of the arrest and death of an American citizen in Eastern Turkey, in the early partof April last. The arrest was made without warrant of law and death, induced by the hardships endured, occurred in a Turkish prison. The victim wasJ. Weber and he pos- sessed a passport issued at the Unpited States legation in Constantinople a short time before his arrest. He was traveling in Western Asia Minor and was at the time of his apprension on a raiiroad train at Eski Shur. He was arrested, but was unable to make himself understood and the local otficials affected to discredit his passport. The prisoner was forced to walk from Eski 8hur to Brusi, a five days' journey. He became ill and was transferred to a sirhgless cart, in which he was joited about until Brusi was reached. There he died. In speaking of the present condition of Turkey the gentleman sai “Every one who has anything to do with the American missionariesin Turkey isun- der suspicion, but matters are gradually assuming the condition which puts ail| Armenians in the line of opposition to the | Government and they no longer strive to keep their feelings to themselves. While on shipboard crossing the Black Sea one of | the wealthiest and most imfluential Armenian merchants was one of my fel- low passengers. He talked in the mest | radical fashion about the oppression of the | Turks. I warned him that he might be talking to Government spies and that he | bad better be more guarded in the expres- | sion of his views. He replied that he yrould be robbed and deepoiled of his all | ina 1ewKears any way and he felt that the | end might come early as well as late. i “‘Such is the absolute despair manifested by all in that unfortunate land. Perhaps the sentiment against thé Americans on the part of the officials of the Ottoman em- pire is best shown by a recent edict of the Sultan which !oriidu any_ subject of the empire to visit the United States.” —_—— INJURY TO THE DEFENDER, The Flyer Partially Disabled While on Her Second Trial Trip. Steel Piping Twisted Out of Shape by the Strain of Carrying the Salls. PROVIDENCE, R. L, July 9.—The De- fender strained her strengthening vester- day while on her second trial trip off the south end of Prudence Island. ‘When she arrived at her anchorage in Bristol harbor it was discovered that the two steel pieces of piping that are bolted from the angle iron deck braces to the bilge brace stringers of angle iron were bent and twisted out of shape on account of the great strain they were subject to in carrying the sails. Itis likely that she will not have another trial before Satur- day next, as the rigging will be again set up this week. All information regarding the sail area of the Defender has been and is carefully guarded. e Nantucket’s Celebration. BOSTON, Mass., July 9.—A three days’ celebration was inaugurated at Nantucket Island to-day in commemoration of the incorporation of the connty of Nantucket on June 22, 169, and also in memory of the change of the name of the town from Sherburne to Nantucket, which occurred on June 8, 1795. —————— Boston is making suitable preparations for the annual convention of the Christian Endeavor Bociety in that city in July. A great crowd is expected. Mechanics” Hall and two tents on the Common will be the main accommodations for the delegates, WAS BORN A THIEF, A Novel Plea Made on Behalf of a Famous Crook. INHERITED VICIOUSNESS. His Mother Claims She Responsible for His Crimes. Is STOLE FROM HER HUSBAND. Went Through All the Brain Sensa- tions of a Burglar Before the Boy’s Birth, PHILADELPHIA, Pa., July 9. — “Jimmy” Logue, the mnoted all-round crook, whose reputation extends all over the county, is stillin Moyamensing Prison, where he is detained as a witness in the case against young Cutair for the murder of Johanna Logue. It is now learned that Mrs. Jennie Sullivan, the nurse of his mother, who died recently in St. Louis, is coming with papers to secure a pardon for Logue on the ground that his criminal tendency is altogether due to parental in- fluences. Logue does not expect the par- don, as he is simply detained as a witness. * The principal document, which Mrs. Sullivan is reported to be bringing to this city, is a letter from Mrs. Logue to her son, in which, after telling him of the eorrow he bad caused her, the dying woman wrote: “‘Neither our folks nor you have ever known the reason which I believe to have been your ruin. They know your father and myself to have been respectable and honest. “I was particularly careful in raising you, from reasons only known to myself, but in spite of all you have been a desper- ate blow to me when you were first sen- tenced. But knowing what I do I cannot feel hard toward you, for it is now my firm belief that I, myself, your poor old mother, am responsible for your bad and unlawful habits. % “Just before you were born, your father was drinking much more than was good for him, and would spend all his wages in drink if he had an opportunity. I found it very hard to get any money from him for our bread and meat. At last it got so that the only way I could get his money was by waiting until he was asleep at night, and then picking his pockets. “Many and many a night I have got up when he was asleep in the bed by my side, tiptoed over to where his clothes lay and like a thief gone through his pockets and taken what money I found there. Then he had a hot temper, and I was always afraid when I would be picking his pockets that he would wake and find me doing it. “Thus I went through all the brain sen- sations of a daring burglar, even such as I am informed you have become. Shortly after that you were born, and I firmly be- lieve you came into the world a thief, owing to that crime-like though necessary practice of mine, Your ever affectionate mother, MAry LoGuEe.” Logue’s record is probably unsurpassed in the history of crime, for the number of burglaries, frauds and thefts he has per- petrated throughout the country. T0 FIGHT WITH DYNAMITE A Shipload of the Explosive Ready to Start for Cuba. e Will Be Dropped In the Camp of the Spaniards by Means of Minia- ture Balloons. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 9.—“Our dy- namite expedition is to start in about ten days,"” saia the secretary of the Cuban Club of Harlem to a reporter to-might. ‘“Ihe recent action of the Spanish Government will force the Cubans’ hand sooner than was intended. According to the plan of campaign agreed on in May, guerrilla war- tara was to be kept up until the close of the yellow fever season in the autumn. Then large bodies of troops were to attack all along the line. “Whether the dynamite expedition will start from near Perth Amboy, New Lon- don or Philadelphia I cannot tell. We shall have about 150 men ready to embark on a sailing vessel. We shall not carry a large supply of arms and ammunition. The feature will be dynamite. We propose to send a couple of expert engineers by an- other boat a few days ahead, so that they will be on the island ready to co-operate when the dynamite arrives. **We shall carry a lot of Fourth of July balloons to be used in a new and startling way for war purposes. These balloons are propelled by the fumes of burning alcohol, They can easily be kept afloat ten or fifteen minutes, according to the size of the sponge and the amount of alcohol in the sponge when lighted. “‘One of these toy balloons will carry three to five pounds of dynamite. By starting the balloon on the windward side of a town the current will easily carry it high enough above the buildings to drop the dynamite among the Spaniards and blow up their works. \ “Qur experiments prove that the feat will be attended with no peril and will be sure to work terrible destruction in the enemy’s towns. No matter how the wind may blow, we shall be on the right side of a fort for the wind to waft our balloons directly over the point to be destroyed, and the amount of alcohol will be adjusted to drop the dynamite exactly where we want it to fall. “Suppose we are on the west side of a town of 20,000 inhabitants, with a breeze blowing from the west, at 4 o’clock in the morning we can start three or four of these balloons, each carrying say five pounds of dynamite, m:aking twelve or fifteen pounds in all. Thunderbolts and earthquakes could not be more dreadful in their havoc. I fancy that any escaping soldiers who may chance to survive the dynamite would be glad to be taken prisoners, even by the most desperate Cubans. Death by the machete would be far preferable to being torn to pieces by dynamite. When we drop our explosives into.forts the air will be black with flying masonry and missiles far more destructive than grape and can- ister. ““We propose to give the Spaniards some- thing to talkabout in the next few months, The horrors of the yellow fever will be for- gotten when we begin to rain dynamite from balloons,” CUBAN €COAST PATKOL. Filibusters Not Active on the Florida Qoast. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 9.—The cruiser Atlanta, which arrived at Port au Prince Saturday night directly from New York under orders to cruise in Cuban waters to prevent the violation of neutral- ity laws, left that port yesterday for San- tiago de Cuba. The instructions of Cap- tain Cromwell, her commander, directed him to cruise to the south of Cuba, per- forming duty similar to that of the Ra- leigh on the north of Cuba. Since the return of the Raleigh to Key West on July 3 Secretary Herbert has been considering the advisability of reliev- ing her with the Atlanta, as Captain Mer- rill Miller’s reports show conclusively that little or no filibustering is actually con- templated by residents of Florida and that the activity on the part of the friends of the revolutionists there consists almost entirely of talk. It is probable that had the Atlanta stayed a day or two longer at Port au Prince she would have received orders to proceed directly to Key West and let the Raleigh come north. The latter vessel has been in southern waters only twenty days, however, and it is likely that | she will remain two weeks ionger. After | that it will be the policy of the department to keep only one warship on guard to sup- plement the revenue steamers. Admiral Bunce will probably success- ively order vessels of his command to patrol Florida waters for thirty days each. DRILLING YOUTHS FOR CUBA. School of Imstruction Conducted by a Patriot in New York. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 9.—Colonel Terence Maguire, an old Cuban patriot who fought in the last insurrection, re- cently hired from John J. Clancey, a Broadway real estate agent, the second floor at 177 Broadway for $45 per month. He assumed all responsibility for the rent and said that the place would be occupied by him for at least six months. Since then peoplein the vicinity of Fifty- seventh street and Broadway have noticed that many young men enter the two-story building. A reporter succeeded yesterday in obtaining admission to the drillroom, where fifty young Cubans were under instruction in the manual of arms. Their uniform consisted of a white canvas hel- met, a blue sweater such as is worn by bicyclists, a belt and black trousers. The colonel demanded to know how he had been discovered. Addressing the men he said: *“I sball make a rigid investigation, IfI learn that 2 member of this company sup- plied the information which led to the visit of the reporter Ishall punish him severely. | It is absolutely necessary at this time,” he added, “that our movéments be conducted secretly. 1 shall make an example of the informer.” The colonel was visibly agitated and at once ordered his company to disperse. He acknowledged that his men were prepared to go to Cuba and fight for the independ- ence of the island. JOSE MARTPS SUCCESSOR. Senor Palma Chosen Civil Representative by the Cuban Patriots. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 9.—The Cuban election for a successor to Jose Marti as Civil Representative was practically de- cided last night in favor of Senor Thomas Estrada Palma. It has been announced that the election was to be held onthe 10th, but as editor Enrique Trujillo ex- plained, the delegates voted by telegram, and the decision is known in advance. The delegates in the principal large cities of the Union and Mexico represent thou- sands of voters in their respectives states. The returns were from Vera Crnz, Mex., Ocala, Key West, and from Tampa, Fla., and from New Orleans. New York also cast her entire vote for Senor Palma. e THREATENED BY THE BEAR. Why China Agreed to Accept the Rus- sian Loan, LONDON, Exg., July 9.—The Morning Post to-morrow will print a dispatch from Peking saying it is stated there that China agreed to the Russian loan under the threat that Liao Tung Peninsula would be restored to Japan if she failed to agree. The Chinese Government decided to pay the war indemnity immediately, so as to save interest and the expenses of Japanese occupation, but this course was found to be impracticable, Russia insisting that no fresh loan should be negotiated within six months. e GLADSTONE’S MESSAGE. TUrges English People to Meet the Just Claims of Ireland. LONDON, Exa., July 9.—The Westmin- ster Gazette a few daysagoasked Mr. Glad- stone to write a message fo the people to be displayed upon magic lantern slides, together with cartoons and election news at the National Liberal Club. Mr. Glad- stone complied with the request by send- ing the following: HAWARDEN, July 5.—Above all other pres- ent purposes vindicate the rights of the House of Commons &s the organ of the nation and establish the honor of England, as well as consolidate the strength of the empire, by con- ceding the just and constitutional claims of Ireland.
