10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, ONDAY, MAY 16, 1898 MONSTROLS PLOT OF to absoluite secrecy, that newspaper men were excluded, and everything done, even to the fact that thefe would be another session, should be kept from the public. In spité of these restrictions the following transpired: After a great deal of discussion the committee adjourned to meet at the Cal- ifornia Hotel again at 1 o'clock to-day. It was practically decided that neither of the contending committees claiming au thority to represent the party will be rec. ognized and that some sort of a compro- mise measure, the nature of which in de- tail has not yet been formulated. will pe agreed upon at an early date. A sentinel was stationed at the door during the ion, but a rumor gained currency that despite this precaution a vellow reporter had secured a room next to the committee. This caused some ex- citement for a time, but it was afterward discovered that the only basis of the story was_the fact that a newspaper man ate his dinner at the hotel about the the committee began its deliberation e Thinks He Was Murdered.

Superin. tendent Oldham and Directors Barker, De Ruyter and Wiliiams are superintend- ing the arrangements, and they promise to have matters in good shape for the best display_of the dogs on opening night. The proceeds of the show will be given to the Children’s Hospital. The show will continue until Saturday night. —_————————— Robbed in a Dance Hall.

General Howard and Major Whipple to Hold Meetings in Cuban Camps. TAMPA, Fla, May 15.—When the United States troops at Tampa embark | for Cuba they may be followed soon after by some of the famous evangelists in the United States. ' General O. O. Howard, U. S. A, retired, now an evan- gelist, arrived at Tampa to-day, ac- | companied by Major D. W. Whipple. | A movement was recently begun by | D. L.

NEGOTIATING FOR AN " EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS. | Under a Flag of Truce the Release of Two American Journalists Is Sought. HAVANA, May 15.—The Spaniards recently captured two Americans, both of whom claim to be newspaper cor- respondents and one of whom says he is an electrical engineer. They were taken at Salado. One carried a camera, wore a small five-pointed star and had a quantity of mail matter on his per- son. When captured, they threw them- selves on Spanish generosity - and shouted: “Viva Espana.” It is re- ported that a third member of the party made his escape by swimming. The two who were captured arrived here to-day and were taken to Cabal- leria wharf and from there were car- ried to Cabanas fortress. At 2 o'clock this afternoon a mewspaper dispatch boat was seen approaching the entrance of the harbor bearing a flag of truce. Mr. Marengo, the chief of staff on the naval station, went to meet the boat in a launch. The American vessel lowered a small boat with two American officers who informed Mr. Marengo that their object was to effect an exchange of Spanish prisoners for the American correspondents captured at Salado. Mr. ’ As most of the regiments here | | staff, arrived in Tampa to-day and re- Marengo then returned to lay the mat- ter before Governor General Blanco, | after which the launch went out again, this time carrying also Colonel Gelpi of | the general staff and Mr. Gollan, the TBritish Consul General. A confecence was then held on board the Spanish launch. — e COLONEL WAGNER GOES TO TAMPA And Now It Is Thought the Invasion of Cuba Will Socon Be Com- menced. TAMPA, Fla., May 15.—Colonel A. ‘Wagner, representing the army on the Advisory Board of the War Depart- ment and a member of Colonel Miles” ported at once to General Wade. He refused to talk on the object of his visit here. The presence of a member of the ad- visory board in Tampa at this time, however, brought about a feeling that the time for the invasion by the United States forces is now very near. Added significance was given Colonel Wag- ner’s sudden visit to Tampa by the ar- rival on the steamer Mascotte of Lieu- tenant A. S. Rowan, who aecompanied Captain Dorst on the Leyden expedi- tion from Key West to Cuba. Lieutenant Rowan brought with him dispatches from the insurgent leader, General Garcia, involving, it is be- lieved, a complete plan for the co-oper- ation of that part of the Cuban army with the forces of the United States. Lieutenant Rowan was brought to Tampa from Port Tampa on a special train and was immediately shown to Colonel Wagner's avartments in the Tampa Bay Hotel. AMERICANS CENSURED FROM HAVANA PULPITS. Accused ox Bombarding Cities Solely to Destroy Property and Kill People. HAVANA, May 15.—In all the pulpits to-day the American practice of bom- barding defenseless towns ‘“‘without previous notification” was severely censured. Those who administered the rebuke said towns should not be bom- barded solely to destroy property nor to kill people, nor for mere pleasure, and pointed out that in the interests of humanity, internatiogal law had pro- vided that towns must not be bombard- ed until the forces of the attacking party were in condition to assault and -| it at once. LTHOUGH yesterday was the Sab- bath the tireless workers of the Red Cross Society were not idle, but plied their needles all day in an effort to fulfill the Government's sudden call on the soclety for 000 abdominal belts, which are to be worn by the men in southern climes. Many Wwho were anxious to labor in the noble cause were unable to do so, owing to the fact that all stores were closed. To-day It is ex- pected there will be large purchases of the material to be used in making the Delts. Mrs. Harrington, who is at the head of the great undertaking, Visited Major White at the Presidio yesterday for the purpose of conferring with him in re- gard to the line of work to be best pur- sued by the Red Cross. He stated to her that he was delighted to have the so- clety's help, and suggested that they continue collecting funds, using them for the purchasing of comforts for the men. He stated that the Government would furnish lints, medicines and bandages, but might not be able to give the men articles_that might be termed luxuries. Major White assured Mrs. Harrington that her society was doing yeoman serv- ice, and expressed a hope that they would continue their humane Work. Ten young soldiers occupied the brig- ade hospital yesterday, attended by two trained nurses wearing the badge of the Red Cross. The men were sulfering from colds brought on by exposure, but were rapidly recovering, thanks to the watch- ful care of Dr. Farrel and his assistants. The physicians all speak in glowing terms of the work of the soclety. Dr. Farrel stated that but for its assistance he would not be able to send the men back to their quarters as cured in such quick time. He called attention to the rubber blankets that the Red Cross had sent out to be placed on the ground in the hospital tent, thus preventing the damp- ness being felt. At Fontana's ware- house, where the men of the artillery are billeted, everything has a homelike ap- The men no longer suffered pearance. from the cold winds, but sat around glowing stoves, discussing the latest news from the seat of war or played ball in the wide lofts. Blankets in quan- tity bespoke of comfort, and three long tables set with shining cups and plates made their lot a little better than their brother soldiers on the Presidio Reserva- tion. S e e A BIG MASS-MEETING. Two Thousand Dollars Raised for the Red Cross. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 98 Broadway, May I5. The rain undoubtedly kept many from attending the Red Cross mass meeting at the First Presbyterfan Church this after- noon, but the attendance was beyond the most sanguine expectations. On the platform were Chairman G. H. | D. Gray, Chaplain Alfred S. Clark, of the Seventh Regiment California Volunteer Infantry, W. R. Davis, Robert Fitzgerald, Mrs. O. M. Sanford, Willlam Nat Friend, Rev. J. F. Bushnell and James H. Stevens, the latter from San Francisco. The collection taken at the close of the meeting netted $500, making a total of $2000 raised in three days. On motion of Mrs. W. H. Friend, $100 was voted to the Sev- enth Regiment and paid to Captain Clark, the regimental chaplain, to use as he saw fit for the boys in his command. Mrs. J. H. Bakewell moved that $900 be given to the regiments that would first start for the Philippines. This was ordered, to be used for emergencies without let or hin- drances. The services were opened by singing the “Battle Hymn of the Republic’ and prayer by Noel H. Jacks, secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association. The chairman introduced Mrs. Sanford, after explaining the aims of the order. She spoke from the humane standpoint and .believed that the ladies would do all that was required of them in this emer- gency as they had before. Lieutenant Albert H. Elliott spoke on behalf of the National Guard, and was en- thustastically received. He expressed the volunteers’ thanks to the ladies who cared so much for the welfare of the "boys.” He said the greatest work of the Red Cross would come after the war in caring for the starving and distressed natives of the captured Spanish possessions. J. H. Stevens paid a glowing tribute to Dewey and the men who have thus far fought so vely for the flufi; Captain Clark, chaplain of the Seventh, declared that within the past week he had seen as much hardship endured In San Francisco as any he saw in the civil war, and never a word had been uttered by officer or private. ‘“Those men who came from Southern California,” he said, “were thinly clad, shoes not fit for this weather, tents that leaked, the ground water-soaked, stood on sentry duty with- out overcoats, soaked to the skin, and never a word of eomplaint. I called upon the surgeon of our regiment this morning, and out %en e had treated 2% 1o the last jght hours. Most of these cases are to the inclemency of the weather. There are cases there that de- mand a milk diet, and vet there is not a pint of milk on the reservation. They needl a strong operating table for the hos- tent. 1t we are going to do anything for these soldiers do it right away. Don’t wait till next week nor next month. Do In this _righteous war, be- unsheathed our swords, we st, and we stand ready to d necessary to accomplish . R. Davis urged his hearers to ac- tion, and (lorlareg that the citizens of this’ city would do their share without stinting. The Red Cross Soclety met at the close of the mass meeting and heard the report of the collection and decided upon the gifts to be made to-morrow and other matters. Ten bolts of muslin will be n the drill hall of the church to-morrow, which they hope to have made into ban- dages before night. Mrs. Captain Oscar ¥. Long reported that she had collected sufficient funds to purchase 6wy alumi- num identification checks. —_———— Making Comfort Bags. The Christian Endeavorers of California are undertaking to supply the soldiers to leave San Francisco with comfort bags. For years the Endeavorers, under their floating committee, have been giving these articles to the men In the navy, and they have proved comfort bags Indeed. The bags are made of strong cloth, such as linen, cretonne or ticking, and are supplied with a small New Testament carefully marked, a personal letter of good cheer, needles, pins, coarse black and white thread, courtplaster, bandage and vaseline, paper, envelopes and pencil. Each bag is small and everything as com- pact as possible. The 70) socleties in the State are being mnotified of the move- ment to supply the men going to the front, and It fs expected that the soci- eties 'will respond promptly and gladly. As many of the country societies ma: not be abie to get all the articles needed, donations or money with which to pur- chase these articles will be thankfully re- ceived by Miss Berry at the Mission extension headquarters, 760A Harrison street, San Francisco. bRt el Remembered in the Churches. A special musical service was held at Grace Episcopal Church last night and the offertory, which amounted to a consid- erable sum, wil! be donated to the Red Cross fund. The programme was excellent, the special feature being the recessional “God of Our Fathers,” by Rudyard Kipling, set to music by Reginald de Koven, and ren- dered for the first time in this city. “The Hymn to the Madonna” was Sung by special request. Rev. R. C. Foute, through whose sug- gestion last night's service was devoted to the Red Cross, made a short address before the collection. He spoke of the great need the soldier boys were in, and said that it was not only a good thing to do, but it was our dutv to see .nat Wose who go to fight for their country were take the townms.

T Netive Daughters Interested. Alta Parlor, N. D. G. W., has issued a call for a mass meeting of all the mem- bers of all the sister parlors of the order Tuesday, ey N S0 [next’ at Native Sons' Hall on Mason street. The meeting is for the purpose of arranging some plan of action so as to act in unison with the Red Cross Society in its work. ———— For the Red Cross. “A hearty co-operation’ with our boys, ploneers of truth, liberty, Christianity and civilization, is what we must effect,” said Rev. Robert Mackenzie of the First Presbyterian Church in his evening lec- ture yesterday. “It is our duty to min- ister “relief while they do 'the fighting. Patriotism may be shown by us as well as by the courageous men who are up- holding the honor of their country in_ a war the inspiration of which is humanity and love of country without a base or mercenary motive. Contributions for the Red Cross should be our cry.” et bl The Hospital Full. The hospital established by the Red Cross Society at the Presidio a few days ago is already overtaxed, and yesterday a requisition was made by the medical officeys of the troops now in camp at the military reservation asking the society to assist them in the care of the ill soldiers in their charge by providing accommoda- tions for at least a dozen more patients. The two trained nurses who volunteered their services to the society, and who were placed in charge of the patients that were turned over to the society, have more than they can attend to now, but they are doing their best and doing it cheerfully, much to the comfort of the poor fellows who were unfortunate enough to have been taken {ll. HOPE CERVERAS WILL AVOID A FIGHT Spanish Naval Authorities Realize That Their Cape Verde Fleet Is in Danger. NEW YORK, May 15.—A dispatch to the World from Cadiz says: The Span- ish naval authorities are devoutly praying that Admiral Cervera’s squad- ron, the Cape Verde fleet, will avold a fight with the superior force under Admiral Sampson. They lament be- cause those four first-class armored cruisers (Almirante Oquendo, Vizcaya, Infanta Maria Teresa and Cristobal Colon) and three torpedo-boats de- stroyers (Furor, Terror and FPluton) were not ordered to join the reserve fleet at Cadiz, if the Government hesi- tated in sending them to make a dash for some North American point and then wheel back to Spain, thus paralyz- ing the American defensive operations about Cuba and Porto Rico. The reserve fleet at Cadiz is being slowly prepared for service. Marines and sailors have been assembled in greater numbers than wanted for the vessels ready. From political motives and in order to make it appear to the people that the Government is about to take revenge for the Manila defeat, the Madrid authorities have asked the na- val officers at Cadiz what vessels of war can be made ready soon to pro- tect the transports carrying 6000 men to Manila. General Correa, the War Minister, got seven battalions and four batteries ready, all armed, equipped and officered and large steamship companie® under- took to provide the eight ships re- quired. But the naval authorities re- port that it would be impossible to get war vessels ready quickly. They say the battleship Pelayo is not fit for an| expedition to the far east, and, besides that, she is meeded more for the re- gerve squadron at home. For the same reasons they object to parting with the Carlos V, Cardinal Cisneros and Al- | fonso XIII, first-rate cruisers. Moreover, they do not think the sec- ond and third rate cruisers here which are available—three in all—would be enough to protect the expedition from the forces Admiral Dewey will have at his disposal at the time Spanish re-en- | forcements could reach Manila. | The torpedo boat destroyers—three here at Cadiz and two at Ferrol—they | want to keep for the defense of the coast, together with the torpedo ves- sels and the old .ironclads Numancia | and Vittoria, lately repaired and re- fitted in French arsenals at great cost. Unless the popular outcry overcomes the professional and ccmpetent objec- tion, the Government will have to| abandon the idea of sending a relief | expedition to the Philippines. THE ANNEXATIONISTS | MUST WAIT A WHILE. | Matters of More Vital Concern Will | Occupy the Time of Congress | This Week. | WASHINGTON, May 15—The most notable event in the House proceedings | for the present week will be the introduc- | tion of the resolutions providing for the annexation of Hawali. The Committee on Foreign Affairs has decided to report favorably the resolution, and will do so probably on Tuesday. A very large ma- | jority of the Republican “and, it s | claimed, fifteen Democratic members, favor. the proposition and would like to take immediate action, but the considera- tion will be postponed likely until after | this week. It is urged by those who *oppose im- mediate consideration that the passage | of the resolution now would complicate the situation as respects the revenue bill and would delay greatly the passage of the latter. Speaker Reed and Repre- sentative Dingley are opposed to annexa- | tion as a proposition, and the latter is especially opposed to passing the measure before action upon the revenue bill is | taken. On Wednesday the Banking and Cur- rency Committee will present, pursuant to the vote concluded Saturday, a general banking and currency bill, but it is understood that it will not be considered | this week. Final action on any currency measure at this session seems improb- able. Of the appropriation bills in conference some progress seems to have been made in the sundry civil and postoffice bills and one or hoth may be passed, though there is a disposition to delay them in_ confer- ence until the revenue bill is well under Wway in the Senate. The House com- | mittee is ready to report the general de- | ficlency bill and may bring it In this week. A bill to establish a non-partisan labor commission, suggesting appropriate legislation affecting labor, may be con- sidered this week. REPUBLICANS ORGANIZE. A. W.
