sspanish Ship Quarantined.
HAVANA, April 4.—A1nong military
men the talk is of the departure of the
remaining volunteers, which will prob-
ably be delayed for a couple of weeks
until the Cuban army question is nearer
a settlement. As General Gomez is un-
able to supply accurate lists of the Cu-,_,
ban army and as the Cuban assembly
still retains the official list the Ameri—
can military authorities outwardly ap-
pear to be simply waiting, but as a mat-
ter of fact they are impatient and dis:
gusted. The whole attitude of the Cu-
bans in' this matter is excessively irri-
tating. .
Meanwhile the report that-the $3,000,-“
000 may be returned to the United
States is being widely circulated and
has increased the feeling against the
assembly, whose members are appar-
ently indifferent. The next session of
the assembly will be held on Thursday.
When Secretary Alger was here he
discussed with Governor General Brooke
the question of charging upon the cus—
toms receipts the cargo of rations ex-
pected on the Coma]. The matter was
left open. ~ Yesterday the Comal, with
1,000,000 rations, arrived, and as no de-
cision has yet been reached by the gov-
ernor general as to whether the sup-
plies are to be charged to the United
States or to Cuba the distribution is
likely to go on without regard to it.
Seventy-five thousand rations will be
distributed at Nuevitas, 25,000 at Las
Tunas, 20,000 at Trinidad, 200,000 at Ma-
tanzas, 200,000 at Cienfuegos and 480,000
‘at Havana. The Comal did not bring
either sugar or rice, both of which will
be procured in the Cuban markets. The
decision as to where to charge this par-
ticular shipment rests with Washing-
ton. Whatever it may be, the next
shipment will be charged to Cuba.
The next regiment to leave will be the
Fourth Illinois, which will sail tomor-
row by a Plant line steamer to Mullet
key, where it will be quarantined and
then go to Tampa by the steamer Mar—
garet. Some delay in getting the vol-
unteers back to the United States will
arise from the scarcity of transports.
' The United States authorities ordered
the steamer Alfonso XIII, from Spanish
ports, to go into quarantine and her
passengers and crew to be vaccinated,
as there was smallpox on board.
The building occupied by the Spanish
club at Matanzas was totally destroyed
by fire yesterday. It is not known
whether the fire was the result of an
accident or the act of an incendiary.
Cuban Telegraph Lines Completed.
WASHINGTON, April '4.—The signal
service is congratulating itself over the
final completion of the military tele-
graph system of Cuba. The work of
construction, begun at Playa del Este
at the landing of Shafter’s expedition,
has been pushed with vigor under the
management of Colonel Dunwoody, the
chief signal officer of the department of
Cuba. General Greely, the chief signal
officer, is now at Havana, and yesterday
he cabled the war department as fol-
r,lows: “The overland military line to
Santiago was completed at 10:30 this
' morning. The system of military tele-
graph lines in Cuba is practically per-
fected, there now being in operation
nine lines crossing the island from north
to south and one trunk line running
through-thepenter of the island from
Pinar del Rio at the extreme western
end and‘through Habana and Santiago
to Baracoa at the extreme eastern end.
General Brooke can now reach d'ver his
own lines every important town and
every military command in Cuba.”
More Santiago Bandits.
SANTIAGO, Cuba, April 4.——-Four
bandits, among them Antonio Nunez, a
notorious desperado, have been captur-
ed five miles from San Luis after a
lively fight with men of the Ninth im-
mune regiment. They were brought
here and locked up. The Pimiento es-
tate, near Cobre. was visited by 11
brigands yesterday, and a store on the
estate, was looted. In this instance
there was no fighting. A regular battle,
however, has taken place near I-Iol-
guin betweer the bandits and men of
the Second :7 .lmune regiment, two out-
laws and or .1 soldier being killed.

WASHINGTON, April 4.—Arrange-
ments have been practically completed ,
for the funeral ceremonies on the occa-
sion of the reinterment in Arlington
cemetery at20’clock Thursdayafternoon
of the remains of about 350 soldiers and
civilians who lost their lives either as a
result of wounds or disease in the cam-
paigns of Santiago and Porto Rico. The
ceremonies will be of the simplest char-
acter,
ment services conducted by Post Chap-
lain Charles l/V. Freeland, who has
been summoned from the military post
at Fort Monroe for that purpose. Full
military honors will be paid the mem-
ory of the patriotic dead, and all of the
regular troops in this vicinity, the Dis-
trict national guard and a battalion of
marines will participate in the ceremo-
nies at the cemetery. Colonel Francis
L. Guenther of the Fourth artillery
will have command of the military es-
cort and exercises.
The remains of 150 of the .heroes of
the war have already been deposited in
tents near the spot selected for their in—
terment, and it is expected. that the re-
maining 220 bodies will be brought on
from Jersey City today. The president
and most of the officials of the adminis-
tration in the city will attend the fu—
neral services. President McKinley has
1ssued'the following executive order in
connection with the interments:
“It is fitting that in behalf of the na-
tion tributes of honor be paid to the
memories of the noble men who lost
their lives in their country’s service
during the late war with Spain. It is
the more fitting inasmuch, as, in con—
sonance with the spirit of our free in-
stitutions and in obedience to the most
exalted promptings of patriotism, those
who were sent to other shores to do bat—
. tie for their country’s honor under their
of Philadelphia recommending the su- '
country’s flag went freely from every
quarter of our beloved land. Each sol-
die, each sailor, parting from home
ties and putting behind him private in-
terests in the presence of the stern
emergency of unsought war with an
alien foe, was an individual type of that
devotion of the citizen to the state
which makes our nation strong in unity
and in action.
“Those who died in another land left
in many homes the undyingmemories
that attend the, heroic ead of all ages.
It was fitting that wit \ the advent of
peace, won by their-sacrifice, their bod—
ies should be gathered with tender care
and restored to home and kindred. This
has been done with the dead of Cuba
and Porto Rico. Those of the Philip“-
pines still rest where they, fell, watched
over by their surviving comrades and
crowned with the love of a grateful na-
tion. The remains of many brought to
our shores have been delivered to their
families for private burial. But for oth—
ers of the brave officers and men who
perished there has been reserved inter—
ment in ground sacred to the soldiers
and sailors, amid the tributes of milita-
ry honor and national mourning they
have so well deserved.
“I therefore order that upon the ar-
rival of the cortege at the National
cemetery at Arlington all proper mili-
tary and naval honors be paid to the
dead heroes, that suitable ceremonies
shall attend their interment, that the
customary. salute of mourning be fired
at the cemetery and that on the same.
day at 2 o’clock p.- m., Thursday, the
6th day of April, the national ensign be
displayed at half staff on all public
buildings, forts, camps and public ves-
sels of the United States, and that at 12
o'clock noon of said day all the depart-
ments of the government at Washing-
- ton.shall be closed.”
Cleveland Elects Democratic Mayor.
CLEVELAND, April 4.—-There is no
doubt that Farley (Dem.') has been
elected mayor by 10,000 majority over
McKisson, the present incumbent. Mc-
Kisson runs away behind his ticket in
every precinct, and, while he is defeat-
ed, it is probable that the remainder of
the Republican ticket, including the
candidates for treasurer, police judge,
police prosecutor, justice of the peace
and four members of the school council,
= will be elected by substantial pluralities.
The Republicans will probably retain
control of the city council.

FRENCH CHARITY.
Any .tkc of Public Benefaction 11115710
Be Licenscdby Act of Far-
linxncnt.
Among the things which are man?
diiferently on the two sides oil
r1 win-l
11‘)» 11
i the channel there is one in which we
in Ifzig'land‘may fairly claim to have
the al'lvuntug-e of a better method. This
is in the matter of public benefactions.
Here, rich men like Lord Iveagh may
give out of their plenty to any society
they, pleas;. old or new. with restric-
'lons, excel; t. of course, the usual techd
'nicalities when the beneficence takes
the form of clearing open spaces of
dealing with property. ‘ But in France
the Journal des Debats complains that
would-be benefactors have no such free
hand, and the restrictions of red tape
stifle a. good many charitable impulses,
says the Westminster Gazette.
The patriotic Frenchman, according
to the Journal des Deb-ate, if he wishes
to devote some of his wealth to thepub:
11c weal, must first apply to parlia-
ment for le-mein case his gift is to
increase the funds of any charitable
society already existing. Butif h-e- d-e~
sires to initiate a scheme of his own
he must go to the minister of the in-
terior for permission. In neither casei
will he have any voice. in the organizaa
tion or working .of the
formed to control his gift. In addi-
tion to these restrictions, it seems that
the minister of finance steps in and
takes about ten per cent. of the sum
for the exchequer. This is certainly
not the way to encourage the public
benefactor, whose path of generosity
should be made» as smooth as possible.
SECOND-HAND SHOES.
fExten-sive Repairs May Be Made and
Yet They May Be Had for
Very Little Money.
A sign hanging in front of a shoe-
'maker’s shop where second-hand shoes
were sold had upon it these words:
..“Second'-Hand Shoes with New Uppers.”
It seemed almost that a pair of sec
cud-hand shoes with. new upper-s would
be practically new shoes, but inquiry.
showed that this impression was not
warranted by the facts. There is a
good deal of fresh matenial in a pair
of shoes thus repaired, but there is also
left a good deal of the 01d, says the
New York Sun.
The new upper thus put in is a new
vamp, the front part of the upper, the
old counter, or back part of the shoe,
still remains. It is a familiar fact
that while the counter may break
down 'or wear. out or get a hole in it
somehow, it is much more likely to
stay sound and good; it is the front that
crack-s and breaks. And so in put«
ting second-hand shoes in Older new
ramps are sometimes put 1n. But while
such a shoe, which has also been soled
and heeled, might easily be described
as having undergone extensive repairs,
it would be far from wholly new. There-
would remain, besides the old counter,
the shank and the inner sole, and the
general shape and framework of the
shoe, and upon these the repairs could
be made. Second—hand shoes bring va—
rious prices, depending on their orig-
inal quality and their conditiOn; a pair
of second-hand shoes, resole'd and re
heeled and with- new uppers; can be
bought for asj’little as ‘a. dollar.
