EXILED AT THIRTEEN

Native of Colombia Returning to Claim a Portion of an Estate. San Francisco, May 25.—Among the passengers of the steamer Australia yesterday, from Honolulu, was A. A. Montano, proprietor of a large dairy in tiie Manao valley, who is on his way to his old home in the United States of Colombia, after 35 years, to recover an estate left by his father. The story of liis early life and his banishment from the country reads like one of Mayne Reid's romances. *,

Thirty-five' years ago Montana was a boy of 13 in Colombia. A rebellion was started and young Montnuo was engaged to lead the insurgents against a fortress that commanded the capital. He guided them by a secret path at night and then himself crawled through a small hole in the wall, followed by the men, one at a time. At 4 o'clock in the morning the revolutionists, fully armed, descended on tho populace in the market place aud put to death all the men they could find. Then they left the town. The next day they captured a neighboring city, young Montano again lending ciuv.n.

The government, however, rallied its forces and defeated the rebels. The ringleaders were shot, but out of consideration for Montano's youth he was taken to the coast aud banished. This was in 1 S64. He then went to Hawaii, whero he has lived ever since.

In Colombia he left nine brothers aud two sisters. His father's estate was large aud was not confiscated, so he returns now to get his share. He carries letters from President Dole showing he is a citizen of Hawaii, and will call at Washington to get papers showing he is an American citizen.

DESTITUTION

Prevails In Many Sect ions Along the Northeast Coast ol' -Newfoundland. St. John, N. F., May 25.—The northeast coast of this island has been blocked with ice for the last six weeks, the result being that navigation along the coast has been practically impossible. The people in many seciions are now do.-til ate of provisions, owing to the inability to replace their supplies, and the commercial operations of almost 80,000 people have been virtually suspended. Fishery outfitting for Labrador and the off.-hore fishing grounds will be quite out of the question until the ice blockade is raised.

The mail steamer Virginia Lake, which attempted to proceed north, failed to force her way through the floes and was compelled to return to this port. Fishing vessels from St. Johns, bound for Labrador, have to skirt around the south coast of the island an/l to work out through the straits of Belle Isle.

DOINGS AT HAVANA

General Sanchez Notifes GomezThat His Division Will Not Accept the Money.

SHIPS GAILY DECORATED

In Honor of Queen Victoria's Jlirtha A A a A Selling Government Property Havana Merchants Call on Collector

Bliss.

Havana, May 25.— Great interest is felt here in shipping circles with regard to the question of coasting flags. The daily papers arc eagerly scanned for news from Washington touching tho subject.

General Maximo Gomez has received a telegram from General Sanchez in Santiago province, saying: "Division will not accept money." He has replied: "Will use every effort com patible with dignity and honor." The Havana papers consider this answer evasive, and the Cubans generally, especially those belonging to the fighting divisions, which are chiefly westerners, say that most of the soldiers will accept the money as §75 apiece is better than nothing.

Probably there will bo a large attendance on the first payment, as well as upon those that follow. A member of the staff of Gomez said yesterday that not more than 20 per cent would refuse when the money was actually in sight-

Havana yesterday was alive with flags in honor of the queen's birthday and all the ships in the harbor were gaily decorated. The banquet last night at the Hotel Inglaterra was attended by SO representative people and passed off with great enthusiasm. Addresses were made by Governor General Brooke, Major General Ludlow, Senor Frederieo Mdra, supreme court fiscal Senor Per-t'ect-o, the mayor, and others.

Cox, an American civilian, foreman of department of streets, has been arrested on a charge of selling government property for his personal benefit. One of his assistants has admitted receiving §10 as his share of the proceeds of a sale of lumber that brought §75. Other similar deals are suspected, though there is as yet no confirmatory evidence.

A committee of Havana merchants called upon Collector Bliss to inform him that they would not receive freight under the present system, as it was slow and costly. He explained that the rush of imports and exports, occurring at the same time with the remodeling of the customhouse, rendered any radical change impracticable at present. The merchants asked for 24 hours to consider his reply, and the collector said he would five them live minutes. Ar the expiration of that time they accepted tilts situation.

Major General Fitzhwgu Lee will deliver the Decoration day address over the remains of teose who died and are buried at Camp Columbia. The victims of t-/ie Maine disaster will receive appropriate memorial honors in tiie morning, find tile Seventh eorjjs ceremony will take place during the afternoon.

REV. HOLMES' GIFf

Presents the Presbyterian General Assembly With $1,000. Minneapoiis. May 25. Rev. Meed Holmes of liockford, Ills., aged aud bent, climbed upon the tribune of the Presbyterian general assembly yesterday afternoon aud extracted from a worn little poeketbook a draft for §1,000 on the Chemical National bank of New York. Rents were terribly low, he said, and money was hard to get, but for the freedniens' cause he would give that draft provided all stood by their pledges aud promises, and the more than §40-, 000 promised was actually delivered. Then while the assembly applauded loudly tho gray beard paint'-illy clambored down. Dr. Charles Herr presented the amended report of the Freedmens' committee as to lynch law outrages in the south. The lurid language of the other day, which caused some excitement, gives place to tins harmless paragraph: "If (the Freedniens) is a cause that appeals to us with particular insistence at this time because of the development of mob spirit in our Christian land. We join heartily with our feliosv citizens and fellow Christians of all sections in their horror of those dreadful manifestations and we believe it is an hour for our church to pledge herself afresh, in sacratiee and service to the redemption of the negro from his sufferings and his sins."

Cleveland at Home.

Princeton, N. J., May 25.—Grover Cleveland arrived in Princeton last evening. He camo in a special Baltimore and Ohio car. His coming was unexpected and there was no one to meet him.

Fell Dead In a Hotel.

New York, Slay 25.—Colonel E. W. Cole of Nashville, Tenn., died suddenly last night- in the corridor or the Fifth Avenue hotel, of which he was a guest. Colonel Cole arrived at the hotel Tuesday. He was walking through the hotel corridor last night when he gave a sudden gasp and fell to the marble floor, his head striking heavily. All efforts to revive him were fruitless, and he died in about an hour. The hotel physician thought death was due to apoplexy.

BALTIMORE SALOONS

Said That Five Hundred Will Quit In the Near Future. Baltimore, May 25.—Five hundred saloons of Baltimore, it is estimated, will quit- the business. Some of them have already closed their doors and others will follow. The cause of the great shutdown is the determination of the Maryland Brewing company, which controls nearly nine-tenths of the out put of the city, to abandon the practice of paying for saloon licenses in order to force their product on the market. Last year, on May 17, applications for license filed with the board of liquor license commissioners numbered 2,451. On the same date this year only 2,291 applica tions have been filed, a falling off of 160. The decrease in applications indi Dates what the extent of the general shutdown in the saloon business will be, RS it is believed that at least one-fifth of those who have already applied will not buy them.

QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY

Banquet Given Last Xijjht at Which Lord lioseliery Presided. London, May 25.—The birthday banquet given at the hotel Cecil last night in honor of the queen's birthday, was attended by many members of the American society in London. Lord Rosebery, who presided, referred to the American guests as "representing a great commonwealth of states, once part of the British empire, but now nearer than any country except the colonies."

Colonel Taylor of the society, in responding for the Americans, paid a tribute to the queen and read cablegrams that had been exchanged with the citizens of Tampa, Fla.

His speech brought out a further respouse fr:m Lord Rosebery, after which the orchestra played "Hail Columbia" amid a lively demonstration.

HIS HEALTH IS GOOD

Surgeon Page, Late of the Olympia, Talks of Dewey's Condition.

NOT A PHYSICAL WRECK

No Appreciable Change In Ilis Ap«pen ranee. Weight or General Condition Since Going to Manila—Has 'Not Had a Prescription In a Year.

Carries Responsibility Lightly.

Washington, May 25.—Surgeon J. E.Page, of Admiral Dewey's flagship, the: Olympia, has arrived here on leave. He came ahead of the Olympia to avoid long delays of the sail via the Suez canal. Surgeon Page has been on the' flagship ever since Dowey took command, seeing him daily and having general charge of medical affairs, so that ho is in a position to give an intelligent view of the admiral's health and general condition. He said "Admiral Dewey is in no sense a sick man, but is as well as any man could be after spending a year in the tropics. I was on the Olympia at the time he camo aboard, and from that time to the present I do not believe there has been any appreciable change in his appearance, weight or general condition. Any one who thinks he is a physical wreck should hear the admiral on the quarterdeck when he gets aroused. He is the gentlest man living, and yet he expects every man to do his exact duty, and when there is any shortcoming the admiral will be heard from iu no feeble or sickly manner. "Of courso every one in the fleet has suffered-in health more or less during the last year, owing to the terrific and long sustained heat aud the enervating climate. It takes all the life out of a strong man aud undoes his energy and ambition. Iu that way Dewey suffered with all tiie rest of us. It was particularly arduous during blockade duty, when for long stretches no man could get ashore."

Surgeon Page was aked if Admiral Dewey's responsibilities had not weighed heavily on him. "I think not," lie answered, "and I believe it will be found that he' has just as much nerve as the morning he fought the battle of Manila bay. He is a man who carries responsibility lightly,, and does not let it- break him down. On the morning of the battle he was perfectlycool, and only once throughout tho action did he show any signs of anxiety. That was when the head gunner reported that our ammunition was running short. This was about the time when we trailed off for breakfast,, owl it had a rather depressing effect. But it was quickly offset when the officer of the deck reported that the Reuia Cm-is--. tiua and CasiaLia wore afire. That was the turning point, aud rhe admiral had no anxiety alter tkat."

Asked if lie had prescribed for Dewey of late, Surgeon Page said: "No lie has no need lor present:*ions. During the last year he has nor once asked for a prescription or taken, medical advice, except in a casual way. If he wantsauytliing ho sends down to the ship's apothecary and gets it. His habits are so regular that he needs little or no medicine. His smoking and drinking are in perfect moderation. He eats well and sleeps well, and it is one of the recognized offences on board ship to tramp heavily over the admiral's cabin after he has retired. "It has needed a pretty cal-m man at the head of affairs," said Surgeon Page, when asked as to the reports of friction with the German naval cvffiders. "I know nothing of any differences, but we all felt that much reliance was to be placed on the admiral's tact aud conservatism as a means of avoiding any possible difference. Throughout the fleet he was admired universally, not only as a naval commander, but for his statesmanship aud discretion."

THK K1KNA MKltCiiDES.

Norfolk People Apprehensive Of Fever From the Spanish Cruiser. Washington, May 25.—The navy department is making ready to receive tho captured and raised Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes at the Norfolk navy-., yard, if it can succeed iu allaying the apprehensions of the people of Norfolk as to the safety of the movement. Surgeon General Yan Re3Tpen has given the matter his personal attention, and, recalling the fact that the Mercedes has been under water since early last July that there never was fever aboard of her, and, finally, that there is no fever at Santiago, whence she came, he recommended to Assistant Secretary Allen, who is directly in charge of the repairs of ships, that the original plan be carried out and that the Mercedes bo brought to tho Norfolk navyyard. Surgeon General Wyman of tho marine hospital service was first consulted by Surgeon General Yan Roy pen, inasmuch as lie is in charge of lie national quarantine service at: Norfolk, and he declared that there would be no danger in adopting this course, particularly as ho would undertake to have the Mercedes thoroughly disinfected aud cleansed.

The Peace Jubilee.

Washington, May 25.—The feature of the second day of the national peace jubilee celebration in this city was tho civic parade yesterday afternoon. It, consisted of all the fraternal, civil and trade organizations of the city, together with a long procession of floats. The parade passed through tho court of hou-' or, where President McKinley, his cabinet and a distinguished company reviewed it from a stand in front of the white house grounds. There was much merriment and enthusiasm, and tho arade was a distinct success.
