At times during the week his life

his benefit at Madison Square
garden, Dempsey gradually failed.
Recently he was seized with faint

defatigable effort Jack was revived
but the pains did not cease. His
sister-in-law, Mrs. Thomas Demp-
sey, who is stopping with him, was

PALMA. VISITS MRS. MARTI.
He Will Take no Active Part in the
Revolution But Will Act as
president

NEW YORK, June 29.-Thomas
Estrada Palma, recognized as presi-
dent Of the Republic Of Cuba by
virtue Of having held that Office
when the revolution of 1S76-7S
collapsed, is in theIcity. He came
from Central Valley, this state,
where for many years he has been
cond acting an institution of learn
ing for South and Central America
and West Indian youths. The
avowed object of his visit was to
pay his respects to Mrs. Marti, the
widow of the Cuban leader. Mr..
Palma spent several hours during
the afternoon at Editor Trujillo's
home, where Mrs. Marti is a guest.
He said that the call was purely a
social one and on account of Mrs.
Marti's bereavement, little or moth
ing was said concerning revolu-
tionary matters. In reply to ques-
tions as to his election he said that
his age precluded his being q can
didate for any position in the
councils of the republic requiring
activity, but he was at the service
of his native isle and ready at any
moment to do her bidding. AS
Marti's successor his duties will
not necessarily call him to Cuba.
They will be almost wholly OF q
diplomatic nature and will entail
upon him q general oversight of
the interests Of the revolution
everywhere. The extensive travell-
ing that Marti used to do, it is
thought, will be delegated to
younger men. Among those most
prominently mentioned in this
connection are General Quesada
and Jose Manuel DeCespedes, as
they are thoroughly acquainted
with Marti's territory. After call.
ing on Mrs. Marti Palma conversed,
with a number OF mem bers of the
revolutionary Junta, among them
the redoubtable General Rafael de
Queseda. Palma returned to Gen.
trail Valley on late train last
NIGHT.

Captain Louis Bernhardt Of the
Cuban insurgents, bears the infor-
nation that last month 5000 rifles
and million cartridges were
shipped from New York by Cuban
sympathizers and successfully
landed on the island. Bernhardt
futher states that Gen. Marti was
not killed by the Spanish troops
as reported, nor was he assassinat-
ed by an insurgent traitor. Marti
is not dead but is still at the head
OF his troops. The Cubans have
possession OF the entire southern
end of the island and Maceo has is

WILL NOT HEAL THE BREACH.
The Congregationalists of New York
and Brooklyn Will not Speak
as They Pass By.

BROOKLYN, n. Y, June 90
Plymouth church, by unanimous
vote, has declined to accept a re-
Cancellation between the Congregs-
tional churches of New York and
Brooklyn. The breach between
these churches has existed ever
since the Beecher-Tilton trial.
Many Intellectual attempts have
been made to bring about harmn-
ious relations between the sun
dered Congregational churches.
Since the Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott
became q pastor of Plymouth
church he has been especially
anxious to secure harmony among
the churches and was instrumental
in sending to the Manhattan con.
ference last winter an overture for
peace. The position taken by Ply
mouth church is that the church
is willing to meet the Manhattan
conference half way but will not
yield everything. DR.. Lyman Alb
bolt in explaining the situation,
said: "There Is only one way in
which such q real fellowship can
be brought about. 1t Is the way
pursued always, so far as l know,
In similar cases, and that is the
appointment of q conference COM
mittee in which both parties are
represented and by which a COM
mon agreement can be secured. 1t
is better for the two bodies to con-
tinue separate il they cannot agree.

WASHINGTON, June 30 The
ordnance department OF the army
is making good progress in the
work OF constructing the new
small bore rifles at the Sprinfield
armory. The entire infantry arm
of the service has already been
supplied with the new weapon.
The artillery branch Is now being
supplied aud the work of making
the carbine for the use of the
cavalry is we'll under way. 1t is
fully expected that the entire
United States army will be
equipped with the weapon before
next winter. Then the ordnance
department will turn its attention
to supplying the militia Of the
states aud the old Springfield rifle
will be retired as fast as the ar
mory can replace them with the
new gun. The militia must pay
for their own weapons out Of the ap-
preparations allotted to the re-
spective states from money set
apart annually for military equip
ment, and as most of them have
already exhausted their quota for
this year they will be obliged to
wait until congress makes further
provision before ordering the new
weapons.
