SPANISH LEAVE. CUBA
Apprehensive of Trouble. if
American Rule Ceases.
THREATS llAliE LIFE llIS-ERABLE.
Many Spaniards Are Engaging pas-
sage Months In Advance—An Offer
to Enlist a Regiment For the
Campaign In the Philippines.
HAVANA, April 24.-—'Every now and
again sime prominent Spaniard calls
upon General Brooke and endeavors to
learn in a more or less diplomatic way
how long the United States government
intends to occupy Cuba. Such a caller
I usually says that his stay will be only
. as long as that of the American troops
; and that when they go he will go.
The same sort of questions are asked
2 of the United States military authori-
' ties at the various provincial capitals
‘_ and of such civilian Americans as are
supposed to be cognizant of the pur-
,BEGIN
poses of President McKinley 'in the
matter. The Spaniards are apparently
apprehensive as to the future, and pas-
sage to Europe by the French and
Spanish lines is being booked three or
four months ahead. Last month 6,468
persons left Cuba for the UnitedJ'States,
many of whom were Spaniards bound
ultimately for".Spain. In the interior
districts the Spaniards are kept in con-
stant discomfort by anonymous threats
and occasional outrages.
Charges of dishonesty brought against
certain American civilian purchasing
agents for the engineering department
of Havana are now under inquiry. The
complaints are said to have originated
with Spanish dealers, ‘who allege that
they have been invited to offer bribes.
Sino Coca. a foreman of street clean—
ers, has been detected in offering a pay
roll containing 32 names while he had
but 20 men under his direction. .
. Captain Greble will succeed Captain
[ John Gary Evans as police magistrate
‘ and superintendent of the department
of corrections. ‘
One of the local papers asserts that
several former Spanish officers now re-
siding here intend to offer the United
States, ' through Governor General
Brooke. their services in the campaign
against the Filipinos. Senor Perez, a
dealer in secondhand books, is quoted
as having said that he and his friends
are confident of being able to enlist a
regiment in Cuba.
The official returns show that during
the first quarter of the year $5,341,000
was imported and $2,009,059 expdrted, all
the latter going to Spain except $1,200,
which went to the United States.

A. Vandergrift, paymaster in the Unit-
ed States volunteer army, who was
{stricken with apoplexy Saturday after-
noon, died yesterday without regaining
consciousness. Major Vandergrift was
born at Vicksburg April 13, 1840. W'hen
the civil war broke out, he became ad-
jutant of the Second Ohio infantry, but
was discharged on account of wounds
two years later. He re-enlisted as ma—
jor of the Thirty-seventh Ohio volun-
teers in 1804. After the war he engaged
in steamboating and later became a
master in the United States lighthouse
service. Major Vandergrift’s home was
in Cincinnati. Since‘May of last Year

A Growing Navy.
\‘VASHINGTON, April 24.——The com—
pletion within a few months of two
great battleships, the Kearsarge and
the Kentucky, serves to call attention
to the-remarkable rate at which the
American navy is growing at: the pres-
ent time. Except among naval officers
.who watch this progress few persons
realize that 48 warships are now under
construction for the United States, in-
volving expenditures under existing
contracts aggregating $33,336,600 for
hulls and machinery alone. These ves-
sels when equipped ready for sea will
have cost over $50,000,000. Eight of them
are first class seagoing battleships as
good as any afloat, Without taking into
account the superiority of the gunners,
machinists and officers to man them.
'l‘wo Steamers Collide.
TACOMA, April 24.——The steamship
Glenogle crashed into the steamer City
of Kingston yesterday morning off
Brown’s'point, cutting the City of King-
ston in two just aft the boilers. The
1.2 passengers and crew of the Kingston
were saved through the prompt action
of officers of the Glenogle and Kingston
and two ships lying in the harbor. So
far as known no lives were lost. The
Rev. Horace H. Clapham, rector of
Trinity church, occupied the stateroom
struck by the Glenogle’s prow and was
pinned in the wreckage for several min—
utes, only being released by the parting
of the steamer. He was not seriously
hurt.
Fighting Forest Fires.
HIGHLAND FALLS, N. Y., April 24.‘
——An alarm at 4 'o’clock yesterday aft-
ernoon called out Fire Chief Meskil and
almost the entire populace to fight a.
fierce forest fire raging on the eastern
side or Bald Rock mountain and which
is threatening adjoining property, espe—
cially that of John Bigelow. The fire is
still raging. Many citizens assisted in
-extinguishing a brush fire yEIterday
‘ morning which seriously threatened the
country residence of J. Pierpont Mor-
gan. The fire is thought to have origi-
nated from sparks from locomotives on
the West Shore railroad.

souls CHURCH AFFAIRS.
‘rchbishop Ireland Abroad—The
Pope and the Peace Congress. -
IVASHINGTON, April 24.-—The pres-
once of Archbishop Ireland in Europe
at this time led to efforts among lead-
ing members of the diplomatic corps
here to have the eminent American di-
vine' preside on some notable church oc-
casion. As a result it is learned that
the archbishop will deliver the principal
discourse at the Joan of Arc celebra—
tion on May 8 at the old French town of.
Orleans, which gave the_"name of the
“Maid of Orleans” to the girl saint and
soldier. The exercises will have .both a
religious and national character, bring-
ing pilgrimages from all parts of Eu-
rope and having'the special benediction
of the pope.
Catholic church affairs also have
been attracting the attention of diplo-
matic circles of late in connection with
the attitude of Italy in refusing to take
part in the czar's disarmament con-
gress if the pope also was to take part.
Because of this controversy the invita-
tions issued by the government at The
Hague' were delayed some weeks, and
in consequence the British foreign of-
fice withheld the official announcement
of Sir Julian Pauncefote’s selection as
one of the British delegates. The state
department also was in the same quan-
dary until the controversy Was adjust-
ed. As explained by a le'ading diplo-
matic official, the position of Italy was
similar to that taken .when the tem—
poral power of the pope was denied and
finally overthrown. In opposing the
pope’s representation at The Hague It-
aly held that the sole authority of the
Vatican related to moral and social af-
fairs and not material or political ques-
tions between nations. In behalf of the
pope it was urged that Italy already
recognized the material and political
authority of the pope by admitting the
appointment of embassadors to the
Vatican from France, Spain, Bulgaria,
Portugal and some other countries.
“Toes of Traveling Men.
CHICAGO, April 24.—Traveling and
resident salesmen of the United States
will be called upon to join an organiza-
tion to prevent salaries being reduced
in the future and to secure so far as
possible a reinstatement of the salaries
paid before the business depression of
the year 1893. Twenty representa-
tives of the salesmen of Chicago have
held. a meeting at the Palmer House to
discuss the purposes of the proposed
organization. A resolution was adopted
reciting that “it has become necessary
for organized opposition to trusts by
wage earners as a protective measure.”
An appeal was issued to salesmen toil
organize ‘clubs all over the countryi
“with a View to demanding such legis-
lation by the government and by each
state as will destroy the illegal con-
centration of capital and the curtail-
ment of vast industries, which eliminate
competition and destroy our useful-
ness.”
China’s Hostile Foreign Policy.
- PEKING, April 24.—The reactionary
attitude of the Chinese government to-
ward foreigners is creating for them an
intolerable situation which cannot be
prolonged. Promises made by the
tsung-li—yamcn are of no value unless
approved by the grand council, a ma-
jority of whose members are bitterly
hostile to foreigners and foreign influ-
ences. Unless some change takes place
soon it is boll/eyed the powers will re
monstrate directly to the empress dow-
ager. As an illustration of the igno-
rance of the grand council that body
has just given its enthusiastic approval
to a new invention by the general com-
manding the troops in the province of
Pe-chi-li. General Kangsu, a sharp,
shovel shaped implement capable of de-
capitating an enemy at a single blow.
Italy’s Rulers Leave For Rome. .
CAPRERA, Sardinia, April 24.—King

board the royal yacht Savoia, the
srj'codrons saluting. arrived here after
a comfortable trip and left for Rome in
the evening. V-fhile in Caprera their
majesties visited the tomb and monu-
ment of Garibaldi and the room in
which he died. ’fi‘i‘cy remained in the
apartment a loner time, inspecting sou-
venirs and conversing cordially with
Signor Menotti l-aribaldi, the son of the
famous patriot. and with other mem-
bers of the family.
Aged Clergymnn Dead.
LEXINGTON, Ky., April 24.—Rev.

Baptist clergyman and educator in the
United States, died here yesterday,
aged 94. He was for 28 years president
of Richmond college. During much of

slaves. His latter years were spent at
the head of educational institutions and
churches in Kentucky and Tennessee.

LETTER To mus. PlNKflAM.

“I cannot express my gratitude to
you for the good that Lydia. E. Pink-
hani’s Vegetable Compound has done
for me. I have taken five bottles of
the Compound and two boxes of Liver
Pills and feel better in every respect.
,I had suffered for years with dropsy;
the veins in my limbs burst, caused
from the pressure of the water. I had
the worst kind of kidney trouble, faint-
ing spells, and I could not stand long
at a. time. I also had female weakness
and the doctor said there was a. tumor
in my left side. The pains I had to
stand,V-..were something dreadful. A
. friend handed me a. little book of yours,
so I got your medicine and it has saved
my life. I felt better from the first
bottle. The bloating and the tumors
have all gone and I do not suffer any
pain. I am still using the Vegetable
Compound and hope others may find
relief as I have done from its use.”—
