; CUBANS‘ ISCOUBAGED.

The Seizure of the Bermuda Was a
Hard Blow to the Patriots.

SMALL RIFT IN THE CLOUDS.

It Is Possible That the Vessel May Be Be-
leased, After All—Case of El Cid Dur-
ing the Brazilian “hr—$2,000
Bail for General Garcia.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.—Deep gloom is
depicted on the faces of all the Cubans
about New York over the capture of their
filibustering steamer Bermuda and the
seizure by United States marshals of 40
tons of ammunition and accoutrements of

war. It is by far the severest blow yet de- 2
livered to the insurgents, and all the more '

galling because it was done by a friendly
government, from which they sooner or
latter expect recognition.

There has been little change in the situ—
ation since yesterdaywhcn General Ctrlix-

to Garcia, commander of the expedition; '

Benjamin J. Guerra, treasurer of the (.‘u-
ban junta; Captain John Brabazon, sail-
ing master; Captain Sam Hart, one of the
managers, and John D. Hart of Philadel

missioner Shields and the passengers or
fllibusters discharged from custody.

The Bermuda still remains where she
was, off Ellis island, and notice has been
given to take the big steam lighter J. T.
Stranahan, which is loaded down with the
cargo intended for the filibusters. away
from her present position, as she is a. men-
ace to navigation.

The federal officials said today that it
could not be stated that the Bermuda. had
been seized, but merely “detained,” as
there seems to be considerable doubt as to
the right of such officials to seize her. .

Colonel Dudley F. Phelps, chief of the
law division of the New York custom
house, said today that after a careful
search he and his coworkers have been un-
able to find anything in the law that pro-
hibits the shipments of munitions of war
to any foreign country, and, further, that
anybody can take passage on such a vessel
that is carrying such supplies. providing
they do not enlist in any army fighting
against any power that the United States
at that time is at peace with.

Cubans Disturbed.

The Cubans at 81 New street, where is
located a sort of press bureau for the jun-
ta, were very much disturbed over the af—
fair. “Of course,” said one, “we cannot
blame the United States government to a.
great extent, and I guess we can stand it.
Still when the troubles broke out in Brazil
soon after the empire had been overthrown
El Cid and other vessels were fitted out
here and guns mounted on their decks
while at the dock.”

It is also questioned whether or not the
federal authorities had any right to seize a
vessel lying at anchor in New York flying
the English flag, but this has been settled
by the attorney general, who says it is the
duty of the government to prevent any fil-
lhustering expedition from leaving our
shores. and that everything goes to prove
that the Bermuda was such.

The examination of the five men under
charges, now out on bail, will be held on
Friday before Commissioner Shields.
Benjamin J. Guerra, who is an extensive
tobacco merchant in Water street, is indig-
nant over his arrest. He says he went
down the bay to bid some friends farewell,
which he had a perfect right to do. He is
charged, however, in abetting and aiding
the filibusters and with having given a re-
:eipt for money to be used in fitting up the
expedition.

John D. Hart, who hails from Philadel-
phia, is a fruit dealer there and a great
friend of Colonel Emilio Nunez of the ten
years’ war. He is suspected of’ having
aided several filibustering expeditions to
Cuba, including that of the Horsa and
Laurada.

General Garcia is held in 82,000 bail,
$500 more than the others, on account of
the Hawkins escapade. He will be tried
on both counts.

lochester University Fund.

ROCHESTER, Feb. 27.—The chamber of
g-ommerce has issued a circular and will
enter upon an active canvass for subscrip-
tions to the proposed $100,000 university"
fund. The circular says that “the fund is
designed chiefly to supplement the free
scholarships and to save the depletion of
income from free tuition in which our
zitizens have so largely shared."

Big Blaze In Reading.

READING, Pa. Feb. 27.—The four story
ouilding at Eighth and Oley streets, occu-
pied by the Star Machine Screw works,
Joseph McConnell’s Nickel Plating and
Bicycle works and A. J. Brumbach’s-pan-
Saloons factory, was burned early today,
with all the contents. The loss will reach
550,000. More than 250 persons were
thrown out of employment.

 

A McKinley Chain Plan.

I‘IO SBGESSION.

the Elder General Booth.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27,—Colonel William
Eadie, one of the leaders of the Salvation
Army in this country, announced positive-
ly today that all danger of a secession by
the supporters of former Commander Bal-
lington Booth was now past. All the brig-
adiers of the Army, who during the con-
troversy between the two factions had
been wavering, were now ready to support
General William Booth of London against
Mr. and Mrs. Booth.

The last of the brigadiers to reach this
decision, Colonel Eadie said, was Briga:
dier Fielding Of Chicago. During the
trouble Brigadier Fielding was one of Bal-
lington Booth’s most ardent supporters.
He had a long talk with Colonel Eadie, in
which all the facts of Ballington Booth’s
case were gone over carefully. At the con—
clusion of the talk Brigadier Fielding
stated that he would remain in the Army
and support General Booth.

One explanation Offered by Commander
Booth’s friends for the change is that he
did all in his power to prevent any further
trouble and expressed himself as unwilling
to organize a new evangelistic movement.

Colonel Eadie, in talking of the trouble
today, said:

“When I was studying to enter the
Army, my tutor was Commander Booth.
The commander was lecturing then. He
would repeatedly say that when an officer
had lost confidence in hissuperior the offi-
cer ought to try to restore that confidence.
If he failed in this, he said. then the offi-

cer ought to quietly resign and take up an-.

other vocation in life. I do not think that
Ballington Booth has followed this ad-
vice.”
“The American Sorrow.”

LONDON, Feb. 27,—The War Cry, the
official journal of the Salvation Army,
publishes a statement signed by Bramwell
Booth, chief of staff in London. under the
caption, “The. American Sorrow.” The
statement includes the letters leading up
to the resignation of Ballington Booth,
commander of the Salvation Army in the
United States, and concludes as follows:
“The resignation of Ballington Booth is
deeply deplored, but the general has only
given fresh proof of his conscientious and
resolute determination to administer the
affairs of the Salvation Army without re-
gard to family or personal preferences.”

\Vrit Against Iron Company Refused.

HARRISBURG, Feb. 27.—Attorney Gen-
eral McCormick has refused to issue a
writ of quo warranto against the Cambria
Iron company of Johnstown for alleged
violation of the act of 1891 prohibiting
mining and manufacturing corporations
from carrying 011‘ stores. The attorney
general takes the ground that the peti—
tioners have not made out a prima facie
case, and the case could not be sustained
in the courts.

Committee Visits Carlisle School.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. -— About two
weeks ago the superintendent of the Car
lisle (Pal Indian school invited the mem-
bers of the lzouso committee on Indian
affairs to make their annual inspection of
that institution. A majority of the com-
mittee left here today with members of
their families, and will probably return
next Friday.

France’s Proposed Income Tax.

PARIS, Feb. Sit—The newspapers of
this city expect that the coming debate on
the proposed income tax will determine
the fate of the government, and in view
of the appointment of a budget committee
containing 29 members out of a total of
33, hostile to the proposed tax, the outlook
is not very bright.

Resignation of Arthur Gilman.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Feb. 26.——Arthur
Gilman, the well known Cambridge teach-
er who has been connected with Radcliffe
college since its organization as the Har-
vard annex, has resigned the position of

Some Notable Speeches.

 

NEW YORK, Feb. Sit—The New Yell-2
Journal is authority for the statement
that W. Bourke Cockran’s friends are. dis—
cussing a rumor that he intends leaving

his busy secular life and devoting his en-'

ergies to the Catholic church. It is said
that the loss of his wife at the hour of his
political triumph has so saddened him
that he contemplates applying to a Jesuit
seminary for admission as a monastic no—
vitiate. This report has been given color
by the fact that after the death of his wife,
18 months ago, he had his gold and silver
plate melt-ed and cast into sacred vessels,
which he presented as a memorial to St.
Francis Xavier’s church, this city. The
orator, statesman and lawyer does not deny
the report. Neither does he affirm it.

He seemed surprised when approached
on the subject. '

“I cannot imagine how such a report
has gained circulation.” said be.

“Is it true,” he was asked, “that you
contemplate preparing to enter a Jesuit
seminary as a novitiate?”

“Concerning that I have nothing to
say,” he replied after a pause.

“‘Do you'say that the report is absolute-
ly without foundation?”

“No,” he answered, “but I positively
refuse to discuss this matter.” ‘

Since the ox-congresmnan‘s return from
abroad his old political friends have seen
little of him. He has been a stranger in
places which he formerly frequented, and
this has given rise to much speculation.
At the same time it is known that he is
not in the best of health. He is a severe
sufferer from insomnia, and the strain
upon his nervous system is evident. His
eye has lost nearly all of its old time fire,
and his strong, forceful face has a. care-
worn, fatigued expression. That he needs
rest and quiet is agreed by sympathetic
friends who have seen him recently.

A Magnificent Speaker.

‘ William Bourke Cockran is best known
as an orator. His eloquence made him for
several years one of the most conspicuous
figures in Tammany Hall, and he needed
only the opportunity afforded him in the
Democratic national convention of 1892,
when be nominated Senator Hill for the
presidency, to make his reputation as an
orator spread from one end of the country
to the other. This speech was the inspira-
tion of the moment.

The convention had been in session near-
ly all night, and it was at 3 o’clock in the
morning—after Mr. Cleveland had been
nominated and when the delegates were
fagged out and half asleep—that Mr. Cook-
ran took the platform to nominate Mr.
Hill. He woke the convention to the wild-
est enthusiasm in. a speech which some of
his hearers described as the greatest that
was ever made at a national convention.
It was in his opening remarks that he
spoke of Mr. Cleveland as “a popular man
——a popular man every day in the year—
except election day."

Mr. Cochran’s next great triumph as an
orator was during the tariff debate in con-
gress in January, 1894, when he opposed
Thomas B. Reed of Maine. ‘

Bourke Cockran—few designate him in
any other way—was born in the County
Sligo, Ireland. His parents intended him
for the church, and with this end in view
he was carefully educated in schools of
his native country, and in his early youth
was sent to a Catholic college in France.
At the age of 17 he decided that he was
not suited for the church. With scarcely
enough money to pay for a week’s board
after purchasing his passage, he sailed for
this country. He taught school in this
city and Mount Vernon for a. number of
years, during which time he studied law.

In 1876 Mr. Cockran was admitted to
the bar, and after practicing two years in
Mount Vernon, moved to this city and
opened an office at 178 Broadway. When
his rise in the profession began some
months later, it was rapid. It was not
long before he began‘to take an active in-
terest in political affairs. He was taken
up by the leaders of the Irving Hall De~
mocracy, and first attracted attention as
the spokesman of that organization in the
state convention at Albany in 1881.

Joins Tammany Hall.

John Kelly had his eye on young Cock-
ran, and in 1883 induced him to enter
Tammany Hall. Mr. Cockran was made a
delegate to the national convention in 1884
and joined John Kelly and the other
braves of the Wigwam in opposing the
nomination of Cleveland.

His experience in that convention first
showed the aggressive side of his nature.
With the exueption of John Kelly, one
Tammany man after another had been
hiESed or howled down. Cockran finally
arose and began to speak. The crowd
howled and hissed at him, but he con-
tinued to talk, until gradually the confu-
sion died away. Then the voice of the
speaker came out, growing more and more
distinct, until it could be heard in all
parts of the big ball. There was no more
interruption, and when Cockran sat down
a hearty round of applause told'of the Vic:
tory he had won.

Cockran was elected to congress in the
fall of 1891 from the Twelfth district by
5,000 majority. In 1893 he was again sent
to congress.

In the fall of 1893 a. controversy arose
between Mr. Cockran and Richard Croker
which led to Mr. Cockran's final with-
drawal from Tammany Hall about a year
ago. The circumstances which led to the
coolness between Mr. Cockran and Mr.
Croker have never been fully explained to
the public. About a year ago the alterca-
tion broke out anew because of some re-
marks Mr. Croker made about Mr. Cock-
ran, and for a while there was talk of a
personal encounter between the two. The
talk soon died out, afid the affair was en-
tirely forgotten when a few weeks later
Mr. Cockran sailed for Europe.

Mr. Cockran has been twice married, but
has no children. His first wife was Miss
Anna Jackson, sister of Father William
Jackson of St. Paul’s church. She bore him
one child, but both mother and child died a.
few days after the birth. His second wife,
whom he married 12 years ago, was Miss
Rhoda Mack, daughter of John Mack, a
retired merchant. She died in Europe 18
months ago, where Mr. Cockran had tak-
en her for her health.

DOINGS OF ROYALTY.

The art, of descending a Russian ice
mountain was taught to Mr. Labou-

chere by no less an exalted personage

than the late czar of Russia.

Lord Brassey has scandalized Mel-
bourne society. The first time he oc-
cupied the viceregal box at the theater
he noticed, sitting in thegallery, sev-
eral sailors from his yacht, and, terri-
ble to relate, “nodded familiarly" to
them.

The d uke of Marlborough’s cigar-
ettes must have a. stopping of cotton to
keep the nicotine from his mouth. In
England this is said to be'the keynote
of the (“lake’s character—his health is
not the most robust, and he coddles
himself most carefully.

Queen Margaret of Italy believes the
game of billiards to be improving to
her figure, which is somewhat inclined
to stOutness, and she is fond of retiring
with the ladies to the billiard room and
indulging With them in exciting tOur-
neys’. ’

Prince Henri d’OrIeans,'who'is on a
tour in the east and from whom noth-
ing has been heard for a. long time,

river.

The king of the Belgians is seldom
seen in the theaters of Brussels, caring
little for theatrical performances. He
objects, too, to sitting in the royal box

misses a first night.

ABOUT THE FARM.

Milk will absorb odors more freely
when cold than when warm, and for
that reason close attention to details
is as necessary in winter as in summer.

Horses may be cheap now, but the
fact that farmers are abandoning the
raising of colts should be evidence
that a. time will arrive when horses will
be more in demand and prices higher.

Keep a supply of charcoal where the
pigs can help themselves. It is impor-
tant that the charcoal be freshly
burned. This may be done by simply
allowing it to become heated before be-
ing placed in the pig pen.

It costs more to feed ducklings than~
chicks, but the ducklings will grow
twice as fast. A d tickling of the l’ekin
breed should weigh five pounds when
ten weeks old, while a chick of thesame
age will seldom reach two pounds. .

Of all the flowers none will return
greater satisfaction for trouble and ex-
pense than the gladiolus,‘ and yet they
are not common in our gardens. ' he
bulbs take up so little space and the
bloom is magnificent. The flowers
come soon and succeed each other for
months.

It is always wise to keep some‘ form
of mulch about the roots of bearing
trees, rather than let sod form about
them to choke and rob them. Even
cut the weeds about the neighboring
fields and place around their bases, or
give them a. share of the manure from
the stables.

MUSICAL NOTATIONS.

Von Bulow, when conducting one of
Beethoven’s concerts, took off his white
gloves and donned black ones in defer-
ence to the funeral music.

Sarasate, the violinist, is remarkably
simple in. his manner of life. Though
his apartments in London are magnifi-
cent, his’ food is alwaysof the most
romely kind, no better than that of a

Hans von Bulow, while conducting a
concert, was much annoyed at the noise
by some ladies in the. audience. At last
he could stand it no longer, and tapping
for silence, he turned to the audience
and said:

Baron Achille Paganini, only son of
the famous violinist, died recently at

without the sacraments, buried in con-
secrated ground in his native town.
