Alt'iouvh the Cabinet wn- In session today nearly an hour lor.eer than usital. it w.;. r.-itvl that nothing of sjxcl.il Interest wis devclope d. The question of whether Ihe troops now blng made ready for Manila should h tr:in:-ixrted from San Francisco or from th Fast hy way of the Suez canal aod the- lied ma was discussal and the decision was r-jrhi to ship them frcm San Francisco. Although the expense would be somewhat greater than by the Suez canal, ehor.t tvfvt days would bo avrd. and then th dart-fr cf encountering the -imoons which prevail At this searon on the Indian ocean would he- avoided. Just what Admiral Dewy, in his recent dispatch meant by the words for 'political reasons," Is not, known, as th admiral himself has given no explanation and nothing has since developed that throw any light on the question. With the approach of th rainy season in thi Philippine, nor possihly not a month off. a material incre-ase in th slckne wtnon? c.ur troops may b looked for. The "War Iepartm-nt authorities apprehend no alarming developments in the condition of our m ii as thr result of tht- Incoming of the miry season, but have prepared to meet any possible rontinenc!e.

Outside of tiu uy condition are not encouraging and aro favorable to malarial and 5irnilar indispositions. In a. general way there is likely to be ;i considerable number of ailments originating from climatic causes, and an unusual number of doctors and medicine have Ixcn rendezvoused at Manila. The medical force now on th Islands Is believed to be sufficient for ordinary purposes and to br eet any demands of thr future, reinforcements are bf ing hurried thre. The hospital ship Relief will sail from New York direct for Manila by the Suz route in a day or two with VA picked men from the hospital corps and about ten doctor. This is In addition to tho regular equipment of the doctors and nurses nf the! The Relief will be placed at th disposal of General Otis, either as a floating hospital or for use In transferring the sick and convalescents to the general hospital now under way at San Francisco.

The authorities there have full authority to obtain all the supplies of any character that are wanted, wherever they can be got. Lieutenant Colonel Woodhull, deputy surgeon general. Is now en route across the continent, going to Manila for duty as chief surgeon, lie Is one of the most efficient medical officers In the army, and has had the benefit of an army service throughout the civil war. He has given special attention to sanitation matters and a thorough sanitary system is expected to be maintained where our troops are encamped. DEWEY'S LATKST RKQl'ISITIOX.

The Admiral Cable for Three Thousand ('online Ibinketn. NITW YORK, Feb. 2S. A dispatch to the Tribune from Washington says: "The Navy Department has received the following cable dispatch from Admiral Dewey: 'Require three thousand steel coaling baskets. As this was the only dispatch that had been received from Admiral Dewey since that of Priday last, which caused much excitement, officials found a deal of comfort In the negative fact it exhibited that evidently nothing vtry exciting in the naval line had occurred at Manila, since the immediate presence of the Oregon had been requested, for 'political reasons, but at the tamo time everyone Is as much in the elirl: regarding the admiral's sudden request for such a large number of articles that have never .been used by the navy. as thcv were three days ago regarding the urgent necessity for the Oregon's presence. There was much speculation as to why Admiral Dewey could not purchase all the ordinary coaling baskets he wanted in Hong-Kong and there was a disposition to question whether he would be able to use more than a thousand baskets if he had them. Officers with great experience in coaling ships doubte-d if the admiral wouM ever require at or.e time more than a hundred laborers, each with a basket, considering the character of the wharfage facilities at Cavite. where a large number of coal heavers might crowd each other off the little wharf. Officers who coaJ.d ship much of the time in the West Jndles in the recent war said they had never cen any steel baskets. Heavy bass, holding elght,or ten bushels, were used most of the tim e .T;cially from lighters alongside, but wfr'-ro caskets had been used they were of TffiH ordinary hickory split construction, costing about 1 cents each and having the additional advantage of floating when they fell cvertoard. as they frequently did. It is believed that some of the foreign ships at Manila mint be equipped with baskets of steel, which have attracted Admiral Dewey's favorable notice, for none are known commercially in this country. Patented baskets of this material have more than once been pressed on the notice of the naval authorities, but they have not been purchased on account of two serious objections, that of great expense And inability to iloat. They cost from ten to fifteen times as much as the wicker Kaskets and thirty times as much as a wheat sack.

The Keforma adds: "Japan tvldently Intends to act towards the Americans in th I'hliij-plnes as the Americana acted toward the Spaniards in Cuba." WASHINGTON. Ft b. S.-At the Japanese legation here the extract from the Iteforma was characterized as "pure fiction. It was pointed oat as an evidence of its' inaccuracy that all the importation and exportation of arms and ammunition in Japan Is in direct control of the government. It would accordingly be impossible for any such large shipment to leave the country without government Intervention. As to the concluding paragraph cf tho Madrid dispatch It was said that the legation did not care to enter Into any dieu.lrn of th?U sort, but that tho American State Department could probably furnirh satisfactory and authentic informs tion on that head. The legation authorized the denials of the statements in the Reforma article to bo made as positive and absolute as possible. ADDITIONAL. CASl'A I,T I KS.

SPANISH CABINET CRISIS

SACJASTA AXD HIS MINISTRY LIKELY to nK ovniiTiiiiowx. ( orte Determined to Defeat the Hill lor the- (lon tt the Philippine Islands. MADRID, Feb. 25. Tlie Senate, by a vote of 120 to to-day rejected tho amendments to the bill ceding the Philippine Islands to the United States. When the Senate convened to-day the opposition members of tho committee, to which the government's bill for the cession of tho Islands was referred, submitted a counter measure. After Duke Almodovar del Rios, minister of foreign affairs, had strongly rebutted the charges of the opposition against the government, the Senate rejected the counter measure by 1)0 votes against 11S. The government thus cairied the crucial voto by almost the narrowest margin. In the Chamber of Deputies the secretary announced that Senors Itegatan and Cardenat had been unseated for accepting posts in Porto Rico from the American government. Senor Romero y Robledo. the spokesman of the Weylcritc faction, in the course of a speech, regarded as confirming the union between himself and Scnor Sagasta and as reconstituting the Liberal party, said he considered the Chamber nonexistent. Ho advocated the formation of a new Liberal Cabinet. It Is rumored that Senor Sagasta, after tho vote In the Senate, offered his resignation of the premiership to the Queen Regent. The Cabinet Council is now sitting. Later A ministerial crisis Is imminent. The Cabinet is convinced of the Impossibility of avoiding defeat in the final vote on tho bill for the cession of the Philippines, as the opposition may Increase, while the government cannot hope to gain a tingle additional supporter. TRIAL nUTVISIOX DILL. Debate In the French Senate Tent Vote, 1 r." to 1-.. PARIS, Feb. 2i The Senate to-day continued the discussion of the trial revision bill, which was attacked and defended on the o!d llr.es. The minister of Justice, M. Lebret, appealed earnestly for the passage of tho measure, advancing as an inducement that the proceedings before the entire Court of Cassation would be public and conduett d on the same lines as ordinary trials. He added that he had not, from tlie outset, believed U possible to quash the conviction of Dreyfus without a retrial. Tho premier, M. Dupuy, said he knew hH duty, and that was why he had submitted tho bill, which was adopted in the chamber by the Republican majority protests, and that alone proved the government was not inlluenced by certain groups and leagues. He doubted whether his opponents were equally free from reproach on this ground. IL'proar. He had not hearkened to any suggestion about the armv. whose loyalty he was glad to reaffirm. The bill, the premier further pointed out. did not in the least diminish the safeguards of the accused. The gov rnment wished the whole evidence to be known to everybody, and, therefore, it would be printed in its entirety, lie did not know what the final verdict would be, but the speaker ardently wished to mak it such as would bo repected by everybody who was not a fool or an irreconcilable. The premier declared that the government wished to make the passage of the bill a uuestion of confidence. M. Waldeck Rousseau bitterly arraigned the government for Introducing so Incoherent a measure. A general debate followed, after which a motion to pass to a discussion of the clause of the bill was adopted by 1E3 votes against 125. The Senate then adjourned. Nothing seem3 to have come of the alleged royalist plot. Certainly such a plot. If therft be one. can have had no connection with Paul Derouledc's escapade, and in many quarters it is believed that the sudden activity of the government in the matter of domiciliary searches was a mere deVice for the premier to Insure acceptance of the revision bill. It is reported that Quesney de Bearepaire has sent his second to Senator Bereanger, who attacked him in his speech in the Senate. 3IIsSI.G EXPLORERS. Relief Pnrty to We Sent In Search of the We limn n Party. CHRISTIANA, Feb. 2S.-The Morgen Bladct says that arrangements have been concluded by which a scaling vessel will search Franz Jo?ef land for Walter Wellman and the members of his expedition to Greenland, unless the explorer returns shortly. The Wellman expedition left Tromsoe, Norway, on June 2G last for the purpose of exploring the arctic regions, and after stopping at So'ombola, near Archangel, the party sailed for Franz Josef land. On July 13 the Fridtjof. the steam whaler having on board Wellman and. his companions, arrived at Vardoe, and after taking on coal th expedition left for the north on the following day. In the party are Professors James H. Gove, of Columbia University. Lieutenant Evelyn B. Baldwin. Dr. Edward Horina, Iurlof Harland and several Norwegian scientists. Crimping; Denounced. LONDON, Feb. S.-In the course of a discussion in the House of Commons arising upon a motion declaring that the government should endeavor to remedy the growing employment of foreigners in the British mercantile marine Joseph Havelock Wilson, Liberal member for Middlcsborough, nnd general secretary of the National Seamen's Union, denounced the "crimping, prevalent In New York." which, he asserted! It was in the power of the president of the Board of Trade, the Right Hon. Charles T. Ritchey. to suppress If the regulations were, strlctly en'orced. Mr. Ritchey replied that the Hoard of Trade was doing everything in Its power to protect seamen from crimping and had not lost sight of the evil as oeveloped In New York. On the contrary the board was determined that the grievance should be remedied. The government finally ac-ce;-tod the motion, which was adopted without a division. China Lease n B" to Ituly. ROME, Feb. 2S. The Fanfulla announces that China has granted Italy a ninety-year leas? of San Mun bay in the province of Cht-Klan. Cable Mote. The United States gunboat Princeton has proceeded from Suez for Manila, her repairs having been completed. Tho Earl of Rosebery was last evening elected president of the Eighty Club, in succession, to the late Mr. Gladstone, by 'js votes against 11. Tho election followed a lively meeting. Tho secretary of state for India, Iird George Hamilton, announced In the British House of Commons yesterday that there was no truth in the reported "death of the Ameer of Afghanistan. iE. KAUAVS HAMBURG STEAKS. Plenty uf Trutlmony to flt that of the Commissary General. Baltimore American. General Kagan. In his testimony before th; Alger relief board, called his superior officer. General Miles, all of the kinds of a, liar that have ever ltrn heard of. and somo that were specially Invtnted for the occasion. Milts s olferse had been to report faithfully the complaints of the leading officers hi the army cf Porto Rico. Eaxan, in his testimony before the brtf court of InOulry. said that h" had shipped to Porto Rico r.0 pounds f the Dole beef, a canned preparation which made nice Hamburg steaks. Everybody was delighted with it. said Kaxan. but it was too expensive. Engan was undT oath. He was not In Porto Rico, but In Washington, when these Hamburg steaks were shipped. How, therefore, did he know that everybody was delighted? Re also said -that there were ro complaints of the canned beef at Tampa. Thre. arc gentleman In this city of the highest respectability and rilling responsible positions in banks and other business concerns who were stationed at Tampa during the war. and who confirm all. and mre than all. whkh has been charged by General Miles ami the officers under him. They ran testify th:t ihe horrible mixture In the cans served nut to them was so nauseating that the soldlevs. a few minutes after eating freely of It, -turned deadly pale and ejected It from their stomachs. It Is not likely that any

of the private sold ers in Porto Rico appcastd their hunger with these delightful Hamburg steaks. There were not enough to go round. They were too costly. The soldiers Uad to content themselves with embalmed rr putrid beef, or eat salt horse if they could get It. ThTe are witnesses who will testify, if called upon, that when the cans in which the beef was issued were soaked in wat,er, th 1MS label would peel off, dlstJosing an original wrapper marked lv, or ?ome other remote date. Eagan would probably consider this beef as rfpe for consumption by the volunteer soldiers, but there art- others who will call it embalmed embalmed tor so long a time, in fact, that a juicy mummy from the pyramids would be just as choice eating. Theso things and othi"s like them have aroused the profoundest indignation, and led i an almost unanimous demand for the removal of Secretary Alger. The administration does not seem to comprehend how much the people thought of the volunteers, who without a moment's hesitation abandoned their life's work and responded to their country'; call. Thev believed that they would, at least, be given clean and wholesome food, and not be feel on the accumulated refuse of ten years or more. Secretary Alger says be will not resign while under lire. Such a declaration would be commenduble In the mouths of seme men, but Alger did the very thing thirty-three years ago, and he did it with as much delight apparently as the soldiers are alleged to have exhibited when they ato the Hamburg steaks in Porto Rico. BALL CLUB SUSPENDED

ACTION OF LEAGUE MAGNATES AGAINST ST. LOUIS BROWNS. Von Dei? Ahc Failed to Settle the Claim of the AVIIKeslrarre CInh ami y Other Debts. NEW YORK, Feb. 28. Magnates of the National Ball League began their annual schedule meeting here to-day. Tho feature of to-day's session was tho suspension of the St. Louis club. The board of arbitration, composed of John T. Brush, F. De Haas Roblson, James Hart. Col. John I. Rogers, A. H. Soden and President Young, was in session until 7 o'clock to-night. At the conclusion of tho meeting It was announced that no regular meeting of the League would be held until to-morrow. Dirputcs between clubs and players occupied the greater part of the sesslem of tho board. The principal case taken up was the wrangle between the St. Loul-i club and the Wllkesbarre club. As a result the former club has been suspended from tho League. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted by the board: "Whereas, The St. Louis Baseball Association, a member of the National League and American Association of Baseball Clubs and a party to the national agreement of basoball associations and operated under the charter of the Sportsmen's Park and Club, incorporated under the laws of Missouri, was ordered by this board on Oct. 21, P'.tf. to pay to tho W;lkesoarre club, also a party to tnls agreement, the sum of $750 for the release of Ball Player Sutor Sullivan, as provided by the rules governing tho release of players; and "Whereas. The St. Louis Baseball Asssoclation has failed to comply with the orders of this board by paying to the Wllkesbarre club the sum named; therefore, be it "Resolved. That the St. Louis Baseball Assentation be cited to appear before this board and answer to the foregoing charge and show cau-e why thi3 board should not exercise the power with which it Is vested under this agreement by suspending the said St. Louis Baseball Association from the prlvlh ges of tho said national agreement of professional' baseball associations." After tho resolutions had been adopted Mr. Muckenfus-'. receiver of tho St. Louis club, was summoned before the board. After hearing him the board adopted the following: Resolved, That the St. Louis Baseball Association be suspended from the privileges under tho nitional agreement for failurn to comply with the orders of this brard. and that it stand so suspended until it has complied with said orders ef the board in the case of the claim of the Wllkesbarre club lor compensation for the release of Sutor Sullivan." After disposing of tho St. Louis-Wilkes-barro matter tho board took up the players' protests. The contest between Indianapolis and Youngstown for possession of Charles Knepper resulted In Knepper being awarded to tlie Indianapolis club. Charles Crato received his release from the New London club on his apieal for back salary. Gus Kloof was released from the Richmond. Va., eiub and M. J. Kelly and Chark Gannon from the Ottawa club. All of theso players. showed that they had signed with their clubs for lsys and were exempt under the reserve rule. The board refused to prant Billy Lush his release from tho Rochester club. It developed during the day that all, with a few exceptions, of tho New York plaj-ers had received contracts calling for reductions in salary. Among those cut is Jack Warner, and as a result he may not sign with the club. At 8 o'clock the board of directors went into executivo session. Tho board of directors was in session three hours and at the conclusion of the sesMon Mr. Young. gav, out the following statement: "Mr. Muekenfussl representing th Sportsman's Park nd Club, appeared before tn meeting and admitted tho failure of the club to comply with the orders of u " i.aaro cf diiectors, made at the last meeting of said board, to pay to the Chicago club $1,000. Mr. Muckenfuss also admitted being Indebted to the League In the sum of $1,153 for du?s and assessments. The treasurer made a formal demand for the payment of the above indebtedness. After a lengthy discussion it was decided unanimously that the subject should be referred to the Ieague for action." The $1.00) that St. Ixuis was ordered to pay to the Chicago club was the outcome of the Decker deal. As the charges made against the St. Louis club are not jfhlv undisputed, but are admitted to be rtriie by the representative of that club, it is generally expected that the St. Louis club will be expelled from the League at to-morrow's meeting. L. A. V. RnclnK Board. NEW YORK, Feb. 2S. Announcement was made last night that President Keenan, of the League of American Wheelmen, had completed the make-up of his racing board. According to a local representative of the president the board will consist of the following: Frederick Garlach. Chicago, chairman; H. W. Robinson. Boston: G. L. McCarthy, New York; G. W.

Reitly of San mi e Maker Becker Wife Not Uumed In n Stove. CHICAGO, Feb. .-Police, In starching the hom of Albert Becker to-day for some clew that might lead to th:? solution of tho mystery surrounding the disappearance of the butcher's wife, made what they, for a time, believed to be a sensational discovery. Mixed in the ashes of the stove were found what appeared to be several pieces of bone and the theory was at once advanced that Mrs. Becker's Ixxly had been dissected and burned piecemeal. Professor Dorsey, of the Field Columbian Museum, however, pronounced the refuse nothing but pieces of charcoal and the promlserl sensation was explcxied.

LOSS OF THE MORAVIA

HAMBURG-AMERICA N LINE STHAMEIt WRECKED OFF SABLE ISLAND. , Foaml Broken lit Two on the Northeast Bar No Trace of Her Crew of Thirty 3Ien Discovered. GLOUCESTER, Mass., Feb. 2.-Captain William Corkum, of the fishing schooner Mcndego. which arrived at this port from a fishing trip to-day, brought news, that the overdue steamer Moravia, Captain Ferguson, which sailed from Hamburg for Boston Jan. IS, was wrecked on the northeast bar of Sable Island about Feb. 12. The Moravia was making her last trip for the Hamburg-American line, as she had been sold recently to another line. She was almost three weeks overdue, and it was thought that the delay was owing to some trouble with her machinery. The steamer carried a cargo of general merchandise, mainly for Boston firms. Both vessel and cargo were insured. She had a crew of about thirty. The Moravia was an Iron vessel of about 2,417 tons regustcr, built at Glasgow in 1SS3. Captain Spinney, of the schooner Arbitrator, having been in the vicinity of the northeast bar a day or two niter the violent gales of Feb. 12-12, sighted the wreck and stood by watching for signs of life, but, failing to s-ee any, had proceeded on his course to the fishing grounds. Later, Captain Corkum reports, the schooner ilattie A. Heckman, of tiloucester, also sighted the wreck and sailed around it watching for iife but she was evidently deserted. Caplam Corkum says that when be met the Arbitrator Captain Spinney Informed him that ho had been in ciose to the bar during the gale on the 12th.and 13th, and that after the storm abated he started for the fishing grounds. It was then that he ran across the Moravia. She was broken in two and the seas were beating heavily against her. Captain Corkum says it was the opinion of himself, as well as the captains of the Arbitrator and the Bcckman, that the chances for the escape of the Moravia'3 crew in such a storm as prevailed on Feb. 12 and 13 were very slight. HALIFAX, N.'S., Feb. 2S. The Dominion government steamer Aberdeen, which it is proposed to send to Sable island to the lelief of the. Moravia, uld not be able to leave Halifax for three days. There is no other means of communication with Sable island than by boat. The life-saving appliances and organization on the island are kood. It is considered likely that the Moravia drifted ashore while disabled. The captain of the Gloucester sxhooner Nannie C. Bohlin said that when the schooner Arbitrator reported the wreck the hitter's captain said that through the haze he could see a steamer's hull far upon the sand bank with one mast gone, and down by the head as if she was hogged. The captain of the Bohlin says the captain of the Arbitrator particularly remarked the absence cf any Mgns of life nloard tho stranded steamer. No signals were observed from the island. The captain of the Bohlin says that when he wert to the locality where the Moravia had been seen the wreck had disappeared. William Roche, agent of the HamburgAmerican line, nan been requested by the company to dispatch a steamer to the island. Steamship Founders. MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Feb. 2S. The Pacific mall steamship Starbuck, Captain Bruglere, foundered this afternoon twelve miles from Amapala, on the Island of Tigre, off the coast of Honduras. No lives are reporteel lost.

"The court of inquiry in the case of General Mile.-" says George W. Martin, "reminds us that we oneo had an cxpetienco In which General Miles ma.lo somo reputation as a lawyer, while we mado some as a Jurist. It was in 1I or 170, whilo general, then colonel. Miles was in command of Fort Darker, and the editor of the Gazette was register of the land office at Junction City. A number of promoters in the neighborhood of Ellsworth and Brookvillc discovered coal on government land a few miles south of the Smoky or.-pr.fite Ellsworth. They organized a rtock company and induced Miles to take a big lot ef the stock. He seemed to be the sucker they were after. In a little while they got into a row. and that eeal company made things warm .in the neighborhood without any coal. Each of the stockholders except Mlls placed some sort of a filing en the land, until il was badly tangled up. A contert resulted. The civilians employed a verv competent all-around lawyer, who was as well an experienced land lawyer. Miles attended to bis own case. The time for the show arrived and the row brought quite a crowd of neighbers to the land orhce. When the trial bad been on an hour or so Miles raised a point, which was sustained, and the attorney .roared, aceuslng us of not knowing any law. In a half hour Miles raired another point, which we sustained, and which knocked the case out of court. We can hear that lawyer rcr yet, and we can see Miles walk out smiling. An appeal wa taken to the commissioner of the General Land Office, who sustained the local olSce; It was appealed again to the fecre-

tary of the . interie r, who also sustained. How much they beat Miles out of we never knew, but the action or two higher courts was compensation enough for us.' TAX BILL PASSED.

One of Governor Pinjree Mennnre Adopted by the Michigan lloumr. LANSING, Mich.. Feb. .-Governor Filigree triumphed easily in the lower house of the Legislature to-day when the Atkinson bill, providing for levying of taxes upon the property of railroads, express, telegraph and telephone companies, was passed. The vote was 72 to 23. all the members voting except five. The Atkinson bill and a substitute therefor submitted by a special committee, which differed from the original In some not very important particulars, had loth been on the table. Motions were made to take up both bills. After a warm debate the substitute was left upon the table by a vote of 51 to 63, all tho affirmative votes being cast by Republicans. Speaker Adams amju.? them. The Atkinson bill was then taken up by a vote of 70 to 22 and passed under suspension of the rule.s and a call of the House, which caused the doors to bo locked. rlhe bill was given immediate effect. Its fate in the Senate is problematic. The Atkinson bill provides for assessment of railway, express and telegraph propertv by a state beard of assessors, which snail have access to all accounts and statements of the corporations interested, the companies to be assessed at the average rate of state, county and municipal taxes throughout the State. The companies are required to make sworn annual statements of their possessions and condition. Some opponents of the bill question its constitutionality, and a means has been found to test the questions involved in the Supreme Court prior to action on the bill by the Senate. FORTS TO BE DESTROYED ROO.M TO BE MADE AT HAVANA FOR CAMPS OF IMMtWES. Strnnded American Soldier Cane ot Typhoid Fever Inereaslnfr in the Seventh Army Corps. HAVANA. Feb. .General Ludlow has ordered the destruction and disinfection of the Spanish forts at San Diego, near Regla, in order to make room for the camps of the Eighth and Tenth regiments, which will move from Havana parks in a few days. Several American soldiers who have been discharged without honor have drifted into this city. Under the law they can only be returned on transports, but there being no transports here at present and these men being without funds, they have no food or place to sleep. Therefore the military authorities are taking measures to obtain immediate transportation for them on commercial steamers. The Seventh Army Corps, in which only one case of typhoid developed last month, has now sixty-one cases twenty-four in the First Division, of which twelve are in the Second South Carolina Regiment and thlrtyreven in the Second Division, nearly half of whom are In the Forty-ninth Iowa Regiment. There have been live deaths this month from typhoid in the Seventh Army Ccrps. In the First Division there are fortynine cases of malaria, in the Second Division ninety-seven. Chief Surgeon Kean has no apprehensions, however, of an epidemic. Disinfecting processes are rigorously observed, underground sewers are being laid and the main pipe connections will be completed some time during March. The throwing of packets of flour by the makers during the jollification yesterday was stopped by the city police and the American guards on Major General Ludlow's order. Ia Discussion commenting upon this says: "While flour throwing is a bad custom. General Ludlow did not forbid it on the previous days of the carnival. It happens that he drove down the Irado yesterday, where it was impossible for him to pass without getting flour on his clothes, and when this happened he became indignant end ordered it all stopped. General Ludlow would not have taken such action In tho United States." DlMsmt Infract ion nt Snntlnno. SANTIAGO DP: CUBA, Feb. 2$.-Wlthin the next few days a large number of laborers will probably be thrown out of work in consequence of messages received from the military administration at Havana regarding funds and of the apparent reduction in the financial allotment for this province. The state of affairs reflected by these conditions is regarded as serious. Gen. Leonard Wood, the military Governor, and the chiefs of the departments decline to discuss the matter, but the best informed Cubans express their regret openly and there are many occurrences going to show the growth of a feeling of antagonism on the part of the Cubans toward the Americans, which the former say is entirely due to the attitude of Havana. A prominent merchant said to-day: "Three months of this same policy would plunge tho island into complete chaos." Extravagant though this statement undoubtedly is, it reflects a widespread feeling of dissatisfaction at General Wood's inability to carry out the policy ot public improvements which he so successfully began. Gen. Brooke'n IJenth Lint. WASHINGTON, Feb., 28. The War Department has received the following death report from General Brooke at Havana: At Camp Columbia, Feb. 2T, Private Albert Quince, Company M.

Evidence that They I'fMmeM the Flighting Spirit of 7(J. W. E. Curtis, in Chicago Record. The sessions of the Daughters of the American Revolution last week demonstrated that the fighting spirit of the revolutionary fathers is by nc means cxtir.ct in their letrinine posterity, and gave us a foretaste of the fun we will have in caucuses and conventions when women have the risht to vote and run for office. For the vigor with which thev demanded their own way and expressed their own opinions, regardless of parliamentary rules and the opinions of others, there has never leen such an exhibition in Washington. As ont- of the delegates described it. the Daughters of the American Revolution are the lest -dressed and worst-behaved public assembly that ever gathered. Many of them mad1 a special point of their costumes, and Mrs. Manning, the president general, who Is one of the most beautiful and Imposing women In the country, was severely criticised for wearing the same gown twice "I think our presiding officer ought to set a good example to tho delegates," remarked a woman in brocade, point lace anil diamonds. The simplest proposition that any one could offer often aroused excitement and confusion, but tho liveliest scrap was over the election of officers. Mrs. Manning has made such an acceptable president that nobody dare run Hgninst her. but it was iu-c-s-sary to provide for twenty vice presidents general and fourteen honorary presidents general to accommodate the embitiu!. and there was a fierce struggle over the distiibuticn of those horors wnlch very neailv requirt d the intervention of the iolice. There arj strange rumors afloat about repeaters and stuffed ballot boxes, and I was solemnly assured this morning, by a woman who knew all about it. that the supporters of one candidate for certain, and two more probably, were? guilty of frauds as bold and Fklllfully carried out as any that wr ever Invented by a Chicago alderman. She assured me that she knew there was at great many more ballots to the lx than their were delegates, and that several persons mot have voted several times, but she iustitled Mrs. Manning, the president general, and the tellers for suppressing the fct for fear that it would make a scandal. 'inert is a general engagement going on all tho while, with the desk of the presiding officer as the center of the fiercest flxhting. and little skirmishes all around in different parts of tho hall. When a delegate exhibited a flag that was raised over a Spanish palace in Puerto Rico nnd i nstnted it to the hcciety every women in the hull wanted to make the- speech of -ice niaiu e. There v.as a rush to the platform that resemble a football gam" or a scene, at a bargalr counter. Th president recognized one of the ladies and he commenced, but five or Fix others insisted upon talking, onel, r. s h cor puen ?e. tlv re were atout seven speeches' f acceptance going on at the same time. W.V n a delegate bad something to say and was not recognized by the chair she sak it in a loud voice to the ladies nearest iround hr. regardleas of the conlujlon 1: made. Then tho waa satisfied and

settled down with a consciousness of having relieved her.tlf ot responsibility. Rut sometimes, when the chairwoman decdned to recognize delegates, they made a rush for the stage, eis in a Rowery meeting, to cssert their rights. This made It necessary to ke" muscular bouncers at the stairway, tnd thev are bruised from bead to foot. The amusing act of the Daughters in rejecting Speaker Ret-d's decision of parliamentary question was not entirely owinjr t thojr independence and desire to have their own way. Mr. Frye. wife of the senator from Maine, can take the crexlit of overruling the chair. The feeling iHtween her huband and llr. Reed is quite unfriendly, and she is a fearless woman with n mind of her own. Thomas R. Reed may be nble to dictate to the House of Representatives, but ho will never dictate to tho Iaughttrs of the American Revolution aj long as Mr?'. Frye retains her influence in that organization. Furthermore, she recalled a good many sarcastic comments which "Mr. Reed has indulged in concerning the Daughters and their Indifference to their own constitution and rules. The other day when Mrs. Manning declared that Home action could not be taken because It was forbidden by the constitution a dozen voices screamed: "Let's change it." Mr. Reed's comments upon Ms humblation are quite amusing. He calls it 'a lamentable occurrence," and says Mrs. Reed warned him "not to fool with the women folks." Hereafter, he says, he will first find cut what they want and then decide that way. He understands that is the Wst method of dealing with women statesmen. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. George H.
