HE PLEADS POVERTY
Secretary Herbert Declines to
Go to Kiel.
GAYETIES OF A NAVAL REVIEW
A Suggestion Chat Congress should
Provide Funds for an Interchange
Of Inequalities.

Washington, May 7.--Secretary Her
bert's declination of the invitation
from the German government to be
present at the kiel naval ceremonies
was due to the fact that he Is not man
of wealth and did not feel that he could
afford to undergo the round of festlVl-
ties to which he would be asked as a
member of the presidents cabinet and
secretary of the American navy with
out returning some of the many civil
tiles, and to entertain at all would cost
him a large sum OF money.
From reports received here the Ccre-
monies incident to the opening of the
great canal will be of the most elabor-
ate character, and it is anticipated that
the naval pageant will be the most bril-
liant of modern days and far surpass
the naval review at New York, both III
the number of ships present and their
size and power Secretary Herbert
was at first inclined TO witness the
sight, and was about to accept the lnvl-
tation when the fact that he would be
expected to do his part OF entertaining
foreign admirals, German officials and
other dignitaries was brought to his at
tention, and he promptly realized that
to accomplish this would result i'll a
great inroad upon his salary as score
tary of the navy.
The officers of the United States fleet
will also be called upon to draw liber-
ally on their pay to keep up their end
with the rounds of gayeties that will
follow the ceremonies. Now that four
United States vessels have been assigned
to the Kiel celebration, the question OF
the navy departments being always
without a fund on which the admirals
of fleets can draw for the purpose OF
extending courtesies to visiting adj
mirals and staff officers Is again being
discussed and compared with the even
liberal policy of other great naval pow
ers to their fleet commanders when or
dered TO participate III occasions OF
ceremony requiring social obligations.
Great Britain, France and Germany
have recognized that their admirals
cannot afford to spend their salaries III
the entertainment of people whom they
are brought officially in contact with,
and provide sums expressly for the pur
pose of winning and dining them when
occasion demands an interchange a.
hospitalitites. The admiral command
ing the British Mediterranean fleet is
allowed IS, 900 a year for the sCle rur-
pose of entertaining visitors, while the
admiral of the channel squadron is per-
mitted to spend So, 900 year also for
this purpose.
Under our system of naval admin
istration the national government does
not contribute a dollar for like pur
poses. Secretary Herbert believes that
congress should appropriate each session
a sum which could be available for feet
commanders ON foreign stations when
they are compelled in their official ca
pacity to entertain foreign representa-
tives of other governments.

MILWAUKEE'S MORAL WAVE.
The Gambling Evil Denounced Last
Night From the Pulpit.

Milwaukee, May From more
than a score of local pulpits volleys
were tonight fired at the gam
bling evil in Milwaukee,. This ora
torical symposium was the result Of
several months of quiet but effective
work upon the part of the Milwaukee
Ministers Association. Detectives in
the employ of the association gathered
evidence showing the existence of pub
lie gambling. The ministers laid this
before Mayor Koch and Chief of Police
Jansen, and when these officials de-
clined TO act, they decided by co-opera-
tive means, to bring the matter before
the people. The ministers charge that
gamblers have the protection of the po-
lice, and that policemen have acted as
guides to the gambling houses, receiv-
ing tips for their pains.

THE Gu AN REVOLUTION.
General CaIleja Explains Why He Was
Not Able to Suppress 1t.

Madrid May 7.-General Calleia.
formerly captain-general of Cuba, has
arrived from Havana. In an inter
view he stated that he was aware of
the beginning of the rising i'll Cuba,
and was informed as TO the movements
of the filibuster in the United States
and the separatists in Cuba. He was,
however, powerless to prevent the ris-
ing in the eastern end of the island,
owing to the want of organized troops
and the scarcity of war material. He
had only 5000 soldiers and 1000 war
recruits, force not adequate to garri-
son the towns, let alone to take the
field against the rebels. Though he
was aware that filibustering expedil
tions were being organized in HaydiA
Tampa, Key West and Costa RIGA ana
elsewhere he had only seven inferior
gunboats to watch 400 leagues of coast
line. General Calico added that he
believed Marshal de Campos would
speedily pacify the island. Property
privilege in Cuba, he declared, had
forced many starving men to join the
rebels.

ALL IN THE FAMILY.
The Suit of Young Spreckels Against
His Father for Slander.


San Francisco, May 1.-The deposi-
tions are being taken in the $4,000
damage suit of &. A. Spreckels against
his father, Claus Spreckels, the sugar
king, for alleged Islander. G. A.
Spreckels devoted several hours yester-
day to telling why he sued his father
for Islander. Claus Spreckels will tell
today why he made the statements to
which his son takes exception. The
statements of each will be used in the
coming trial. While the young man
could not mention any particular &C.
casion where he had suffered finacially,
he said his general reputation had bean
injured. All of the Spreckels' millions,
he said, would not recompense him
for the damage done his standing in the
community. The suit for Islander is
based on an article published several.
weeks ago in which Claus Spreckel
was quoted as saying that G. A. Sprec|
kels and his younger brother had at
tempted to defraud him of a large sum
of money, and that G. A. Spreckels
was a poor business man and would
soon be bankrupt.

1T GETs a RECEIVER.
Florence Iron River Mining Company Falls
Upon EVll Days.

Milwaukee, March 26.-The court to-
day appointed s. T. Beattie receiver for
the Florence-IrOn River Mining COM
pany. The company, 1t is said, has
been doing very little business for some
time, although at one time 1t was one of
the biggest producers In the Menominee
range.
The Florence-Iron River company Is
the result of the combination of two
names-The Iron River mine and the
Florence mine. The former was owned
by Youngstown, Ohio, people and the
latter by H. d. Fisher, Of Florence,
and the Van Dykers Of this city The
mines were purchased by Ferdinand
Schlesslnger and for time were heavy
shippers. When Mr.. Schlessinger's af-
fairs first became entangled, the consol-
idated mine was turned over to the
New York banking firm Of Ladenburg,
Thalman & Co. The total shipments
Of these two properties was larger than
any property on the range with the ex-
ception Of the Chaplin.
An execution was filed In the sherlffs
Office today for $5,034.66 against the
Florence-Iron River company in favor
of Joseph Hyman Of Chicago. The ex-
ecution was returned unsatisfled, as
the company has no property | nthis
