A CUBAN OUTRAGE.
A Commercial Travellers Narrow Es-
cape from Execution.

Troy, n. Y. July ~.
Five months ago Pedro Llames visited
Cuba To look after some property about 20
miles from Havana which was left him by
his father. To pay the expenses of the trip
he decided to act AS agent for Troy firm for
the sale of a patent lubricator, and took
with him the necessary samples After his
arrival at Havana, he was thrown into prison
as a spy. The military authorities would not
or could not. understand that the boxes of
lubricator were harmless and not for warlike
purposes. He was sentenced to be shot.
Mrs. Llames, hearing nothing from her hus-
band, sailed for Cuba with letters from Sec
retary of State Carr and the Spanish counsel.
She searched the Havana prisons, and finally
found her husband in one of them breaking
stone, and not knowing at what moment he
would be shot as spy. She secured his re-
lease, and yesterday both reached Troy. II
is probable statement of his experience will
be sent to Washington and demand made
for papers taken from his person when ar
rested, as well as for other reparation.

The steamer State of Maine, Capt. Pyke.
which left Boston Friday morning, boun d
for ST. John, due Saturday at 2. NJ, struck
on = rect At the extreme end of Point Lep-
reaux, 20 miles southwest of ST. John. A
thick fog prevailed at the time. No lives
were lost. The fog whistle was blow ing reg
ularly at full blast at the time the steamer
struck. No blame can be attached TO the
keeper Of the fog whistle. The vessel is 8
total wreck. Her bottom is badly stove, and
the water covers the saloon and part Of the
hurricane deck at high water, The passen-
gers are well cared for bv Mr.. Thomas,
keeper of the Lepreaux lighthouse. Nearly
ali the baggage and smaller articles belonging
TO the steamer were saved. Most of the
freight, it is feared, will be lost, The steam
er Empress of the Nova Scotia Steamship
company's line, leaves ST. John for Leprearx
tonight. She will convey the passengers TO
ST John A tug boat has also arrived at
Lepresux and will be sent to Dipper Harbor
for schooners which will be used in saving
the freight, Capt. Pike and the first and
second pilots were in the pilot house when
the steamer struck.
The lost steamer was built in Bath, Me-, in
1882. and was 400 tons burden. She was
owned by the International Steamship COM
pany of Eastport, Me-, and was considered
one of the best steamers running along our
eastern coast.
The Empress went down to Lepreaux this
morning and took on board the passengers of
the wrecked steamer State of Maine; also
the passengers baggage and the vessels
furniture, and returned here. II is certain
that she will prove a total loss, but her
machinery will probably be saved. The
steamer Forest City has been engaged to take
her place.

WAsHISGToN, July -.
The postmaster general has received re-
ports from the commissioners appointed to
examine into the condition of the Chicago

changes among the minor offices are also re-
commended, as well as an increase of force
in the delivery division. The net result Of
the changes would be to increase the allow

NAVY DEPARTMENT FRAUDS.
The Court of Inquiry Ready to Report
When Chandler Gives the Word.

The court of inquiry investigating the navy
department frauds. has completed its work
and has notified the secretary of the navy Of
its readiness to make a report if desired. The
secretary, however, decided to await the reply
of the district attorney as to whether such q
course would interfere with the criminal
prosecution being conducted by him. Secre-
tary Chandler said this morning that nothing
had vet been decided about the matter. If
the court of inquiry is permitted to make its
report. there is now no doubt that it W i'll
attach the responsibility to Medical Director
p. s Wales, who was chief of the bureau, for
dispensing with the safeguards which render
the frauds feasible.

LABOR REVOLT PROMISED.
Strong Movement Against Cleveland at
Trenton. n. J..

TRENTON, July u.
There promises to be severe revolt against
Cleveland in this State. Signs of it are al
ready abundant State Labor Inspector Fell
says the labor vote of the State is against the
democratic nominee. Assistant Inspector
Dowdell says that while he will support Cleve-
land, he believes that nine-tenths of the labor
vote in the State will oppose him. Gov.
Abbott is authority for the statement that the
nomination is the worst that could possibly
have been made and Assemblyman Harrison
declares that he will not support Cleveland
under any circumstances. He says that the
nominee cannot carry New jersey, as the
laboring men will not vote for him. The
Times states tonight that ex-Congressman
Ross will not be permitted on the national
committee despite his selection, because he
subscribed to the $4,000 Tilden campaign
fund and never paid it.
