October q, report upon her arrival at
Kingston that after leaving New York
she met two boats outside the bay in

embarked upon the Laureda. Later in
the voyage they were disembarked off
Cuba. The steamer also met two other
boats which carried thirty-two cases of
ammunition which were taken on
board and which We're again unloaded
on Sunday while the steamer was off
Guantanamo, Cuba, after which she
proceeded to Jamaica.
The commander of the vessel
seized some days ago with arms

IT WAS RREEzY woRsH1P.

The members Of the Central Metro
politan church. formerly the Central
Methodist Episcopal church, are wor-
shipping under difficulties. Apparent
Iy, however, difficulties only increase
their devotion for large congregations
attended all the services Sunday. The
edifiCe is often referred to as General
Grants old church. 1t is decidedly
novel sight to see a congregation at
worship while the front and part of the
roof of the edifce are literally in pro-
cess of demolition. Under it's present
aspect no one would suspect that it
was a place of worship, were it not for
the numerous bill boards prominently
placed around it's exterior announcing
the fact that services are held there.
S. Parkes Cadman said that when it
was first proposed to hold services
there during reconstruction many con-
sidered it impracticable. However, the
contractors were consulted and they
devised means by which inclement
breezes could be partially excluded.
The front of the church was closed up
with rough lumber and a long wooden
porch was built. extending from the
street to the other part Of the church.
The congregation did not want for
fresh air yesterday. Breezes found
their way in between the boards and
played tag. but the air was balmy and
the congregation were not uncomfort-
able.
The church is to have new front OF
terra Gotta The style of architecture
will be Italian. The front will be
moved forward which, with a new gall
Iery. will increase the seating capacity
Of the edifce to 1,5OO.-New York

THE FRENCH CRISIS.
GOVERNMENT IN MORE SERIOUS
DIFFICULTIES THAN FOR YEARS
Downfall of the Ministry an Ex-
Victory-New Minister in Doubt.

PARIS, Oct. 29.-The newspapers to-
day express appreciation of the diff
culties which are confronting Presi-
dent Faure as a result of the resigna-
ton yesterday of the Rfbot ministry.
The Republican journals deplore the
fact that the chamber of deputies was
not satisfied with the explanations of
the ministry regarding the failure of
the government to prosecute those
whose names had been mentioned in
connection with the south of France
railroad scandals, and that the cham
Der thus precipitated a situation, the
consequences of which, it is claimed.
it will probably be the first to regret.
The Radical and Socialist newspa-
pers hail the defeat of the Ribot min
istry as revenge for their own discom-
future in the matter of the CarmauX
strike, while the Conservative organs
state that the ministry has fallen on a
question of public morals and under
a blow given by the majority, exasper-
ated at repeated attempts to hush fla
grant Scandals
Most of the newspaper opinions Of
the circumstances point to the forma-
ton Of a Radical cabinet, headed by
NJ. Bourgeoise, whose last office was
that of minister of justice in the for
mer Ribot cabinet in 1892, and who
tried unsuccessfully TO form a cabinet
after tie fall of the Dupuy ministry
Several newspap ers, however say
that they anticipate that a dissolution
of parliament must occur 'if the pres
ent state of anarchy continues"
The Palais CBourbom says the con-
census of opinion seems to favor d
Radical ministry, comprising among
to PnIlroraOica
nee Peytral, Doumer, Hanotaux and
perhaps General Zeurlinden and Ad-
miral Besnard.
1t is generally thought this evening
that NJ Bourgeoise or Rfbot will be in
vited to form a new cabinet.
The Temps says: The gravest feat
ure of the situation is the manner in
which the cabinet was overthrown.
Nobody knows why it vsls defeated.
Another disquieting fact is that no.
body sees on what basis a new minis
try can be formed.

Durrant Case becoming More In
voIved in Mysteries.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 29LThe Elk
aminer claims to have in its possession
a companion piece to the statement
made by Suicide Reynolds to the coro-
ner about the Durrant case. The EX-
aminer says that since September 21
it has had in its possession a letter
written by a man who signs his name
Richard Smythe, who says that ne was
hired to testify in the Lamont case that
Durrant might be acquitted Smythe
says that the plot to implicate Gibson
in the murder caused him to draw out
In the statement which he was to have
made on the stand Smythe says that
Blanche Lamont was a friend of his
Wife'S, and that on April 8 Miss La
mont visited his house in Oakland.
She came direct from school and had
her books with her. She remained at
his house over night and on Thursday
went with his wife to call on a Mrs.
Richardson. She returned to his house
and remained Thursday night. leaving
on Friday, April 5. She left her book
strap at Smythe's house and borrowed
one belonging to Smythe's son, having
on it the initials K. A S. Smythe also
identified another strap as belonging to
Blanche Lamont This is supposed to
be the mysterious strap produced in
court by General Dickinson Smythe's
statement goes on to say that he was
instructed by Mr. Dickinson to remain
silent and not discuss the case He
was introduced to Miss Lamont at a
Methodist church in San Francisco in
1894 by his wife. His wife knew her
in Rockford, III. Smythe says he has
separated from his wife, and that she
is stopping, with her son, with her par
ents on farm in Bucks county. Pa.
about nineteen miles north of Philadel-
phia. The Examiner reprints questions
asked by counsel for Durrant during
the trial which the paper claims tended
to lead UP to the testimony of Smythe
and Reynolds which was to be intro
duced. Reynolds, in his letter to the
coroner mentioned Smythe as one of
the men associated with him in the

BEER LOVING GOATS.

There are two goats that live in a sa
loon not far from Chatham Square on
the Bowery, that have more kinds of fun
during the day than an ordinary cagefuI
of monkeys. They are very tame goats
and while not startlingly handsome thew
have share of good humor and sturdy
constitution. They need a good constitu.
ton to live the life they lead
They drink, but they do not drink
whisky. Beer is their beverage. Beer in
large quantities. They start to drink
at night. Occasionally some stranger in
the place who hears of the appetite of
the beasts thinks 1t good joke to buy
beer for them to make them full They
will generally consume about a dollars
worth and then amble away good nat
uredly to wait for more thirst.-New York

LOW A KITTEN STOPPED
STREET CAR.

STREET CAR.
One little kitten, about five inches in
length, held in check Monday morning
the down town traffic over the City &
Suburban railroad, says the BaIti-
more Sun. A summer car stopped to
take on passengers, when the kitten,
on the sidewalk leisurely inspected the
car, suddenly determining on q per-
sonaI investigation of the inside work
ings of the rapid transit. She ran into
the street Immediately underneath the
heavy battery of the car and began
laundering about the machinery The
conductor and several of the passen-
gers saw her and an effort was made
to chase the kitten away. Canes and
umbrellas were thrust underneath the
car at her and many epithetic COM
nands to "shoo!' were given. but
it was evident she was too new in the
world to understand English
The passengers enjoyed the joke at
first, but when 1T seemed that the kit
ten did not intend to come out. those
in a hurry to begin the days toll be-
came impatient, and the number Of
the rescuers augmented rapidly More
canes and more umbrellas were thrust
at her, likewise more speeches of a.
wicked turn. But she remained undis-
turbed, and curled UP as if she liked
things in general and meant to spend
the day there. When at last it ap-
peared to the hurried passengers and
irate conductor that the only thing to
do was to start the car and crush out
the poor little kittens life, she came
to the conclusion that there are other
pleasures in the world besides rand
transit. and walked out with the sat
istied air of one who had completely
set at rest the cravings of curiosity.
Then the car proceeded.

posed to have been caused by escaping

atoms, on the New Church Strand, this
evening. Thirteen persons are believed to
have been killed. Many were injured.
The building consisted Of three floors and
the tenants were mostly Covent Garden

church court was blocked with a great
mass of burning debris which was made
up of the wreck of the house. in which
the explosion occurred. In this week,
thirteen occupants of the house. incIud-
ing six children, are supposed to be
buried. Two firemen, while forcing into
tricate the victims. were buried beneath

injured condition. but the other was
buried in the ruins.
