DOESN'T WANT IT.
CLEVELAND WILL NOT ACCEPT A
THIRD TERM.
The Statement Comes From Bene-
dict, His Trusted and intimate
Friend.

NEW YORK, Nov. pa local paper
says:
1t was announced last evening by
e. c.. Benedict, the trusted and intl-
mate friend of President Cleveland,
that the latter will not under any Cir
cumstan ces accept a third term of the
presidency. Mr.. Benedict has so long
enjoyed the confidence of Mr.. Cleve-
land and is so close in his relations
with him that this statement has a
semi-official complexion. MI Benedict
says:
II am certain that Mr.. Cleveland
would decline another nomination If
it were offered him. / am positive that
he does not want to serve a. third term.
I am equally positive that he could
not be persuaded under any circum-
stances to accept the nomination if it
should be rendered him. 1 have heard
him say that he intended to make a
tour of the world at the expiration of
his second term; that he wanted to
see more of the world than he had
seen and that he had his travelling COM
panion already picked out, at least
that he had asked "a personal friend
of his to accompany him ON the tour.
In making this statement for publ
cation, Mr.. Benedict has SO far depart

GENERAL FLAGLER DISCUSSES
THE IMPORTANT SUBJECT.
tons at Present Made in
Aid of the Militia Totally made
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. as to the
Springfield Gun.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-The most
Flagler, chief of ordnance, in his an
nual report to the secretary of war, is
that of forming and equipping the
militia of the United States. He calls
attention to the insufficient appropria-
tions annually made for this purpose
and suggests that in the event Con-
gress does not provide literally
for this important branch of the
country's defense, it at least should
make certain changes in the present
law with the object of permitting the
ordnance bureau to replace the old
arms now in use with weapons of
serviceab,e type and uniform charac-
ter. General F'lagler shows that the
new rifle, while we'll suited for long
range service, is not so well adapted
for close range and hard service as the
Springfield rifle. His conclusion is that
it would be better to retain the Spring
field gun at present during times of
peace, while if war should break out
the we'll drilled militia could, in two
weeks time, familiarize themselves
with the magazine gun.
He suggests that he be authorized
to credit the states with the actual
value of unserviceable. obsolete and
worn out stores turned in; to issue to
the states such Springfield arms in
exchange for other types as they may
have in use. and that the states be
authorized to purchase most of the
United States arms and equipment of
regulation types at cost price.
Satisfactory assurances are given
that at last the army has produced a
good quality of smokeless powder for
the small arms, and it is said the in
dustry has now so developed that all
of this powder required for war uses
can be produced by American manu-
facturers The improvement of powder
for large guns has not, however, kept
pace with the development of the guns,
and an expert officer has been charged
with a special duty of the subject at
the powder mills, where the maniac
turers are lending him all help possible
in his researches. Because of the diff
culties and the danger of transporting
powder to the Pacific coast, the de-
partment has been making efforts with
great success to develop the facilities
for it's manufacture on the coast.

CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-For a time yes
terday news from New York Travelled
1000 miles to reach Chicago. 1t came
from New York to Montreal and along
the Canadian Pacific through Winni-
peg and Vancouver to San Francisco.
Then it was telegraphed down to the
Needles in Southern California and
east to Albuquerque, Kansas City, st.
Louis and Chicago Railroad, teIe-
graphic and travelling men said it was
the most complete isolation the city
had experienced since the New York
blizzard in March, 1888. 1t would seem
from talks with the managers of the
telegraph companies that the storm
centered about Chicago and was seri-
Gus as far east as Toledo and south of
Toledo and Cleveland the snow and
sleet was apparently not heavy enough
to snap the wires New connections
were secured all day and messages
from all over the country showed
where the storm extended. The worst
seemed to lie from Denver to Buffalo,
north of st. Louis. The storm did not
reach west of the Rocky mountains.
although the weather there is still re-
ported cold. City Electrician John Bar
rett declares that so much damage
was done to the city electrical plant
by trolley wires by the storm, that
if the trolley is to remain the city
wires must be put underground. This
he estimates will cost the city 500. 600

ABOARD IRON Steam tow thirty or forty
people and a. lot OF boxes and TWO plg

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-E. c. Benedict

today that he had been misguided IN
a newspaper article which represents
him as saying that Cleveland Woulo

What l did say" he said. was that L

l believe that, you know. 1 don't state
it as a certainty. Cleveland does not

for him with authority, and l don
like to be placed in the condition OF
acting as his mouthpiece.
What did say was that felt pos

or defeat in politics. L feel certain
mind you. 1 don't say 1 am certain
that he could not be persuaded to

offered yet.
Il feel certain that Cleveland is anx-

to enjoy the sovereignty of citizen
rather than the servitude of the state.
He is counting the days and the hours
until he can return to private life.
There are some who say Cleveland

WASHINGTON.-Heav Spanish REIN
forcements aggregating 5000 men are
about to land in Cuba, according to Off
cial advces received here. Besides these
10000 men have embarked already from
various points in Spain. 1t is expected
that most of the reinforcements Will ar
rive in Cuba before the end of the month.
Combined with the large force already
there, General Campos will have in his
command a formidable army.
The reports reaching here show that
all the Spanish generals are acting on the
offensive with the view of drawing the
insurgents into general engagements The
latter thus far have maintained their
guerilla or bush tactics.
An official who has seen a letter of
General Roloff. the insurgent leader, says
the latter states that the insurgents are
sorely in need of arms and ammunition
and are also pressed on all sides by the
large Spanish force, and that the contest
cannot be maintained longer without
large supplies of arms.

Exciting Events Impending in Con-

CHICAGO, Ill. Nov. PA special
from Winnipeg, Man, says: Exciting
events are impending in Canada.
Within month the parliament will
be summoned to pass a remedial order
directing the Manitoba government to
restore to the Roman Catholics their
parochial schools. Then will come the
climax TO the long and bitter warfare,
a. climax that may disrupt the confed-
Grafton of Canadian provinces. To all
entreaties for a compromise to avoid
trouble. it is said, Premier Greenwdy
turns a deaf ear and it is inevitable
that if the Dominion authorities re-
store Roman Catholic schools in this
country they cam only do SO by force
In Winnipeg there is said to be a
growing movement in favor of a seces-
sion from the Dominion, which in
reality means the setting up of a
crown cololy entirely Independent Of
Ottawa authority, but it is certain
that Premier Greenway and those back
of him will bitterly resist to the ut
most the restoration of Roman Catho-
lie schools. The premier does not
qualify his assertions in this regard.

will leave Saturday for the east and
will attend the meeting of the COM
mittee at Washington, December 1. be-
fore returning. In the matter of basis
of representation of delegates to the
national convention, Mr.. Hahan de-
clared himself as follows:
Il do not believe that the Republi-
can national committee has anything
whatever to do with the fixing of ba-
sis of representation in the national
convention. 1t has been the establish
ed rule since the foundation of the
party that every state has two dele
gates from each congressional district
and four at large. In my Judgment it
would be violent and unwarranted
change for the national convention
committee to depart from this basis.
Simply because Democrats of the south.
disfranchise our Republican brethren
down there is no reason why we should
recognize and abet this disfranchise-
ment by cutting off their representa-
ton in the national convention. I am
in favor of holding the convention as
soon after the tenth of June as prac-
ticable, not later than the fifteenth of
June, however. l do not consider this
long campaign. The Republican
party will lose nothing by a full dis
cussion of the issues and the candi-
dates
Where do you favor holding the com
vention?' was asked.
eff Cleveland or Cincinnati were ap-
plicants for the convention 1 would
favor one of these cities, but I have
received but a single letter from one
of these cities, and I take it that they
are not in the contest, and that leaves
me free to do what I consider for the
best interest of the large number Of
Republicans in the country
When asked what city he favored,
Mr. Hahan said: II have not deter
mined as yet my choice in this matter.
However. I will say that 1 favor hold
