LEE MAYLEAVMHAVANA
His Relations‘With General Weyer
Are Badly Strained.

 

i

ARRESTS 0F AMERICANS.

 

They Have Led to the Coldness That Now A

Exists Between the Spanish Com- [

mander and the United States i
Consul—The Tolon Case.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29. — The Evening
World’s Havana correspondent telegraphs:

In spite of ofiioial denials, I am satisfied
that relations between Consul General Lee
and Captain General Weyler are getting
stifler and stiffer every day. The affair. of
S. T. Toldn is responsible for the deep dis-
agreement between both generals. Sam-
uel T. Tolon is the prominent American
citizen arrested on board the American
liher Seneca by order of General Weyier.
Lee claims, first, that every American citi-
zen allowed to leave the country with
his passport issued by the Spanish govern;
ment in good order cannot afterward have
it taken from him without the captain’s or
consul’s consent, and, second, that an
American citizen cannot be arrested under
a military order or a warrant issued by a
civil judge without previous notification
to consul being necessary.

'Lee May Leave Havana.

It seems that heretofore Americans have
been’arrested under military orders, and
he wants this stopped. Lee demands of
Weyler to replace Tolon on board an Amer-
ican steamship. Weyler refuses flatly.
The matter has been referred to Spain and
Washington. Meanwhile the ill feeling be-

‘tween the palace and the consulate con-
tinues. Should Lee’s claim be ignored,
he will return to the States.

Aside from this special case, Lee com-
plains that all diplomatic'victories are re-
served for Taylor, in Madrid. His petitions
here are appealed to Madrid, where the af-
fair is ultimately settled in behalf of the
United States. Lee remains in the dark,
while Taylor appears as a great and suc-
cessful diplomat. All these things have
combined to upset Lee, who says he will
return to Virginia to take a rest and do
some political work.

On to Havana.

It is reported that General Antonio
Macao is in Mantua receiving the last ex-
pedition. General Maximo Gomez is re-
ported about to move eastward, and it is
said will be here in the middle of October.
Rodriquez, with the vanguard of Gomez’s
army, is at Sibanicu.

ONE WIPE FOR THREE MEN.

The lVoman Says She Thought Two of
Them Were Dead.

CLEVELAND, Sept. 29.—-Three men, two
of them residents of this city, have just
discovered that they are all possessed of
the same wife. The third man, Frank E.
Dowd of Defiance, has quietly begun suit
against Mrs G. M. Growl of Cleveland.

Mrs. Crowl was married on July 5, 1895,
toher present husband, who is a street
car conductor. Another husband has now
appearedon the scene, a musician named
J. U. Smith.

'He alleges that he married the woman
in 1891 and was never divorced. Mrs.
Crowl acknowledges having married the
three men, but says she thought two of
them Were dead. Her maiden name, Eliza
Ann Russell, was afterward changed to

EEb'erly by a second marriage of her mother.

,She was born and brought up in Lenbx,
Aahtabula county, 0. She had children
by her last two husbands. All of the bus-
bands aver that they knew nothing of the
wife’s other marriages until recently.

Mrs. Crowl-Dowd-Smith is a pretty,
buxom woman of 28 years, vivacious in
manner and fond of society.

Burned Their Own Homes.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.—The Turkish
legation has received frOm the sublime
ports the folloWing telegram: “The Ar-
menian revolutionists of Pinken, a village
situated in the province of Sivas, after
setting fire to their own houses, ran
away. But they returned again and set
fire to the houses that had not been burned
the first time. The local authorities took
every precaution to extinguish the fire.
The object of the revolutionists is evident-
ly to make the people believe that there is
no security in their country, but their ef- ‘
forts to provoke again sanguinary trou-
bles have been frustrated, thanks to the
cfiicious measures adopted by the imperial
government. ”

Baby Chewed to Death by Big Rats.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 29.—Nothing quite
so horrible as the death of the 2-months; "
old baby of Isaac Asher of this city has,
ever been reported here. The baby was
gnawed to death by three big rats. which
jumped upon its crib while the mother
and father were out of the room. The fa-
ther in his store downstairs heard the
screams of the child, and rushing up found
it squirming in agony upon the bed with
its flesh torn from its face and hands,
while the rats were running around the
room. The child died within a few mink”
utes after it had been bitten by the rats.

savsrsRAu yrssrresucs LAW.

The Massachusetts Statute Sustained by
the Supreme Court.
EzBOS’i‘ON, Sept. Sit—The judges of the
supreme court, in compliance with an or-
der adopted by the executive council last
June relative to the constitutionality of
the veteran preference act, passed at the
last session of the legislature, have sub-
mitted opinions to the acting governor.

_ The constitutionality of the act is sustain-

ed in a majority report signed by Judges
Field, Holmes, Knowlton and Morton.
A minority report is signed by Judges Al-
len, Lathrcp and Barker.

The act provides that in appointments
to any position in the public service, under
the civil service act, a veteran who passes
the prescribed examination shall be prefer-
red to all persons not veterans. It is also
provided in the act that veterans may ap-
ply for positions in the classified service
without examination, and appointing offi-
cers are given the power, though they are
not compelled, to appoint or employ such
veterans in the oflice or position sought;
No veteran holding an office or employ—
ment in the public service in any city or
town can be removed or suspended, or
without his consent transferred, except
after a hearing before the mayor or select-
men.

Tho statute does not give the veteran
quité the unlimited preference which was
accorded by the act which was last year
passed over Governor Greenhalge’s veto
and subsequently declared unconstitution-
al by the court. He has absolute prefer-
ence, however, if he have the appointing
power on his side. ,

traordinary features until the snow line
was Well below us,”:writes,Dr. Shuey.

a very short time afterward. It Was the
most furious that had beaten'about the
snow clad mountain top for many years.
Blizzards rolled into tornadoes swept the
crags, and we nearly perished.

“For 36 hours we Were storm bound.
Our food supply was exhausted, and we

ticing in back yards. A short time agoit

HAPPY GEN. HARRISON.
An interesting Report Concerning the
Ex-President’s Home.

A SECRET OUT AT LAST.

It What a New York Evening Paper Says
Is Well Founded, the General
and His Bride \Vill Soon
Welcome an Heir.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-—The Recorder
says that General Benjamin Harrison’s
heart is beating in unison with the uni-
verse on these balmy fall days, and Mrs.
Benjamin Harrison has joined the ranks
of other celebrated American women with
whom all womankind feels a lively sym-
pathy. Like the Duchess of Marlborough,
Lady William Beresford and Mrs. John
Jacob Astor, her thoughts are dwelling in

.a quintessence of delight upon those dain-

tiest of dainty things—those filmy laces
and fiufiy gowns—in which a tiny Benja-
min Harrison _may soon flourish his was
hand: and feet and coo as he gazes out on
a strange, new and all absorbing world.
\Vhispered Congratulations.

For several days the pleasing truth has

been whispered. Nearly all ofthe ex-presi-

, dent’s, close acquaintances are congratu-

lating him quietly.
At last it is understood what had‘been

concealed in the seclusion of their Indiana '

home—the secret of General Harrison’s re-
cent independence of all political allure-
ments that had once been his chief enjoy-
ment. . -, ,

He has shown a lofty oblivion to politics.
He has eventold the Republican managers
who wanted him to make speeches that he
would speak where and when he pleased,
by which he meant no offense to any one,
for he is stanch and loyal in the party faith
and wants McKinley elected by a mam-
moth majority.

It was his quiet way of- preventing his
secret exuberance from becoming too pow—
erful. _

But when the general and his charming
wife came to the Fifth Avenue hotel about
a week ago, ostensibly to participate in
the ceremony of presenting a silver service
to the battleship Indiana, the secret could
not be buried longer.

All In Vain.

Mrs. Harrison‘s friends, who had
esteemed her for years as Mrs. Dimmick,
were first to discover it. ‘ She tried to
laugh them off, but it was of no use.

General Harrison, too, sought to divert
the compliments. It was in vain.

Both the general and his bride now look
at every one askance. Theyfsel that the
joyful news is out. They do not know
how far it has gone. but they are quite
sure that all of their intimate friends who
are visiting them in their apartments at
the Fifth Avenue are in an ecstasy of ill
concealed pleasure. -

So, while the tenderest solicitude is felt
by all in the coming event, little is said
save by those who are clusest in the confi-
dence of Mrs. Harrison. The err-president
is devotion itself. He spends most of his
time with his wife. He is seen rarely
are ml the corridors, and he reques to see
nee sxpaper reporters. Mrs. Harrison is
never seen in public unless he is at her
side.

General and Mrs. Harrison were married
in St. Thomas” church on Monday, April
6, 1896. "Mrs. Harrison was Mrs. Dim—
mick, the widowed niece of ex-President
Harrison’s first wife.
