The Summer Homo OF ths clevsIand's Very
Attr ,ctive.
WASHINGTON, May lit is the in-
tention OF the president and Mrs.
Cleveland to take possession of their
country home near Red Top during the
present week. Mrs. Cleveland has ex.
ercised exclusive jurisdiction In fur.
nishing and fitting up the house and 10
is said that she has arranged every.
thing with view to giving her hus.
band delightful surprise. He has not
been permitted to enter the house
since the property was secured and
turned over to Mrs. Cleveland. At her
request the president has refrained
from making any suggestions about 1t,
and she has been permitted to exer.
else her own sweet will in selecting the
interior decorations. She has made
frequent visits to the house and when
accompanied by her husband he has
usually remained in the carriage while
she gave such directions as were needed
to carry out her ideas Those who
have been permitted To get glimpse
of the interior of the presidents sub
urban home say Mrs. Cleveland has dis
played exquisite taste in all the ar
rangements, apd the new place is
even more attractive than the cot
tage at Red Top, which the Cleve.
lands occupied four years ago. IL
it Is possible the present cool
weather may delay their leaving the
white house until next week, but the
president is curious to take possession,
for he is debarred from inspecting IL
until every detail is completed. Mrs
Cleveland proposes that when every
thing is in readiness she will take the
president in her carriage some after
noon after the official cares of the day
have been put aside, and drive out to
the new home. Steward st. Clair will
have ready just such a dinner nc tho
president enjoys, and IL Is possible
few personal friends may be invited to
share the hospitality of the occasion.

New YORK, May 12. - When the
steamer Yucntan, of the Ward line,
came in from Havana she was boarded
at Sandy Hook by regiment Of report.
ers and Cuban patriots in quest of news
OF the Cuban revolution. The captain
was surrounded and made the target OF
q hundred questions about the status
of the revolt.
"Revolptionw thundered he. "T
guess whatever revolution there was
on the island has been suppressed. In
Havana nothing is heard of any revolu-
tion. have not heard anyone speak
about il. j believe, however. there was
some sort of a skirmish in the interior,
but nobody paid much attention to It."
Ponce de Leon, the Broadway pub
the Yucatan. Said he: "It is true
rendered, at least judge SO from all
accounts that | have heard. Whatever
preparations for revolt may have
been made by the dissatisfied Cubans
on the island, the uprising of the Sar-
torus brothers was instigated by Span
ish officers, who put up the job. About
400 Spanish officers were to have been
retired in consequence of the policy of
retrenchment that was adopted by the
Spanish government To show the
government that their services were
still needed and how easily they could
put down an uprising, the officers in
stigated the Sartorus brothers and u
small band of followers TO revolt.
These Spanish officers had calculated
that the insurrectionists would not be
supported by the people, who regarded
a revolution at present as premature.
Ponce de Leon is himself a patriot.
Asked what the revolutionary party in
the United States would do with the
money that IL has raised for war on
Spain, he said he supposed it would be
kept in readiness for the revolution
when IL did break out. A revolution
was bound to come sooner or later
BENJAMIN j. Guerra, treasurer of the
Cuban revolutionary party, said that.
while he had not received any private
dispatches from Cube, it seemed from
all other reports that the Sartorus
brothers had surrendered. But" he
added, this will not in the least affect
the work of the revolutionary party.
We shall go on just the same, raising
funds and keeping up the agitation, SO
as to be ready when the time
comes to strike Money is coming In
large amounts. The collapse of the
Sartorus uprising will help rather than
otherwise. We had no. engineered ii,
nor had we ordered IL, and the fact
that it aid not find support shows that
the Cuban revolutionists at large in
tend to be guided by the counscls of the
revolutionary party. ] expect Mr.
Marti back from Key West within q
week, and when he arrives we shall
make arrangements for holding a mass
meeting, probably at Cooper Union,
for Americans. at which we shall in
vite we'll known American and Cuban
speakers to explain to the American
people our position and the wrongs Of
the Cuban people"

The BESOM OF DESTRUCTION
It Will Sweep the White City
From the Earth.
On the Afternoon Of July Is When Mirth
Is Maddest a Mighty Wind VIII
Blow and the City Will Be
No More.

CHICAGO, May l3.--Rev. Robert d.
Plunkett, from Charlottesville, in the
Lone Star state, who is stopping at the
Briggs, says the worlds fair buildings
are to be utterly destroyed, and as he
alone possesses the key TO the short
hand remarks on the horizon, no one
can say him nay. He said the de-
struction would not come unless the
gates were opened on Sunday, but
he felt in his bones that it would
be done. The time set for the storm
IS the afternoon of Sunday, July l6.
The prophet said: "The coming sum
mer will be unusually hot and it will
be season of violent thunder storms
aud great winds. As if to entlce a
greater number to the fair grounds the
forenoon of Sunday July 16, will be
beautiful. The cars on the various lines
of traffic will be crowded; the tally-hos
and the coaches will he bowling along

crowded, too, will be bounding joy

thereby AS the worlds fair is micro
