The Statement That There Is ar

to Be UnWarranted.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, April 26.-The
funeral of CoxswaIn Johnson of the
cruiser Olympia yesterday afternoon was
attended by about seventy men, in charge
of one officer from the ship. On the way
out to the cemetery seven sailors suddenly
broke ranks and fed. None were recap
tured, but one of them was seen on the
streets about IL o'clock this morning. He
had been in hiding all night until that
hour, and was under the impression that
the ship had Just sailed. When he was in
formed that he was wrong, and that the
sailing hour had been changed to this
evening, he at once prepared to get out OF
sight again, saying:
Il would rather 60 to the desert and
starve than go on board the ship again"
The deserter stated that he was an Amer.
lean and had entered the navy at Detroit.
He had been on four or five different
cruisers, but never had met an experience
ike this on the Olympia. The situation
was little short of open mutiny. He
charges all the trouble to the first lieu
tenant and executive officer, E. w. Sturdy,
and says that Captain Reed is chiefly at
fault because he does not interfere with
sturdy IN DeI1dI OF L0e HELL. Nearly ali
the officers dislike Sturdy more or less,
but, of course, they have not been OPP
pressed like the men, and their dislike is
therefore less active.
The mans further statement more fully
indicated the gravity of the situation.
From here, the sailor said, it is believed by
the crew the captain sent to Washington a
statement of the condition of affairs, and
asked for orders to return to Mare Island
for the express purpose of holding an in
vestigation and court-martial, it being IN
derstood that he preferred that course
rather than TO take the responsibility OF
removing Sturdy on his own authority.
The officers of the Olympia to-day denied
the reports OF the sailors that there was an
insutfc;ency OF food on the ship. They
said the com plants regarding the quantity
or quality OF food were entirely unwar-
ranted, and that they personally inspect
the food given to the men. The officers,
as wei as the men, regretted that the ship
could not enter the harbor. They ex-
planned that Captain Reed was under
orders from the Secretary OF the Navy to
archor off Coronado, and that the COM
mander had no discretion in the matter.
The Olympia sailed for San Francisco to-
daV.

CHICAGO, Ill, April 26.-The Colorado
Midland VIII soon be divorced from the
Atchison system and inside OF ten days it

menced under the first mortgage of the
Colorado Midland Railroad Company

Cubdns Seek Better Tariff Latcs From the
Spanish Government.


WASHINGTON. D. c., April 26.-Con-
sul-General Williams, at Havana, Cuba.
under date of April II, sends to the De-
partment of State the translation of tele-
gram sent by committee of the repre-
sentative sugar manufacturers, distillers
and merchants of MaIanzas to the resident
Spanish Minister at Madrid, petitioning
for the removal of the tariff obstacles to the
entrance of Cuban products into the ports
of the mother country. He inclosed a
reply received from the Minister saying to
the committee that the petitions can be
granted only through legislative action
and that it was impossible to say when the
Spanish department will be able to DELHI
crate on the matter.
The petition asks free entrance for sugars
and rum and free entrance and protection
for molasses and tobacco; also for law
permitting the establishment of banks
with per cent tax on profits for term of
ten years, so as to attract capital. 1t also
asks for the immediate PRONUNCIATION of
the law of agricultural edict now before
Parliament for a reduction of the import
duty on articles of prime necessity and
machinery so as to cheaper production
and then adds:
''The economic situation of the island is
desperate. Such terrible economic crisis
has never before been felt. Governments
of countries protect their sugar the same as
Spain protects its home industry, and as
Spaniards we ask protection for Cuba.
Our producers clamor for preferential con-
sideration. The situation asked is indis-
pensable to save the island from imminent
ruin"
The dispatch was signed by eight men as
representatives of the assembly.
