BY HARRISON,
News Statement of the Ex-
Presidents Position Made
AdviSedly.
He Is not an Active Candidate, but
Would Accept the
Nomination..

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Sept. 29.-The
under which the interview
with ex-Consul General John C. New, re-
garding ex-President Harrison's attitude
toward the Republican nomination in 1896
was conceived, came to light to-day, and
there is now no doubt that Mr.. New, while
disclaiming to speak for Harrison, really
spoke for him, and has his implied, if not
his professed, approval.
At conference of local Republicans at
the Dennison House on Thursday last,
which Mr.. New atteL led, and which was
called for the purpose of considering the
attitude that Mr.. Harrison has sustained
to the nomination, it was suggested by
Chairman Gowdy that Harrison ought TO
speak upon the subject, and that his
silence was being construed into indiffer-
ence, and some of his Indiana friends were
casting about for alliances outside of the
State in the belief that the ex-President
would not be a candidate. Considerable
speculation and discussion followed, but
no one was authorized to speak for Harri-
son and no one did so.
Mr.. New said that Harrison's friends
ought to know his attitude, and it was
suggested that Mr.. New would be the
proper man to see and confer with him
upon the subject, their relations having
been of the most cordial character, and
New being, possibly, the only man who
could get an expression from him.
Mr.. New then left the hotel and went
directly to HarTison's house. He told
Harrison of the conference and of the
doubt of his friends, and suggested that
he find way of communicating his inten-
tions to the party.
Harrison said that he did not feel called
upon to volunteer the information that he
was or was not candidate and that there
was plenty of time in which the people
might make choice. He said emphati-
cally, however. that he was not a candi-
date and would not be, nor would he put
forth any effort for the nomination or en-
courage his friedds to do SO. He declared
that nothing could be further from his
purpose than to enter into contest for
the nomination for the Presidency, espe-
cially as he had had the Office once and
was not stranger to Republicans of the
country. New asked as he rose to go, if
he might speak for him and Harrison re-
piled that he "had never assumed 70
bride the tongues of his friend"
New returned to the hotel, and it was
determined to send out an interview stating
the position of Harrison, and, in order
that there might be no mistake or miscon-
struction of its terms, it was decided that
it should go outin News name, it being as
sumed that he was so close to Mr.. Harrison
that his utterances would have more weight
than those of any one else except Harrison
himself. The interview was to make the
fact prominent that Harrison was not a
candidate but would not decline the nomi-
nation, and that he had no choice between
the men who are candidates.

GUARDS FOR A CORPSE,
Fifty Armed Men Watching
Over the Body of a
Negro.
Threatened Raid on a Chicago Gem
etery by Friends of the
Dead Man.

CHICAGO, ILL, Sept. 29.-Fifty men,
armed with rifles and revolvers, all last
night were guarding the receiving vault in
the Oakwood Cemetery, where mob of
colored men was expected hourly to storm
the cemetery gates and break in the vault
in order to get the body of Thomas Hol-
brook. Holbrook was the coiored man
who was shot and killed in Plymouth
place.
After the undertaken had taken charge
of the body $500 in cash and certificates of
deposit were found in his pockets. The
following day half dozen women made
their appearance at the undertaker's, each
one claiming Holbrook as her husband.
Among these was Mrs. Lille Holbrook,
No. Ala Thirty-third street. 1t was neces-
sary to identify the body, but the under
taker refused to give it up.
Her attorney went before Justice Rich
ardson and obtained replevin, but while
they were gone the undertaken sent the
body to the cemetery. Constable Ballam
presented his papers to Assistant Superin-
tendent Carter, but that official refused to
deliver Holbrook's body.
1t was then, Mr.. Carter says, Mrs. Hol-
brooks friends threatened to return with
enough men to accomplish the work by
force. Backed by his attorney, Mr.. Carter
telephoned to several detective agencies,
and before nightfall there were fifty armed
men inside the cemetery. The armed
guard is still on duty, but there has been
no trouble.

sPANIARDs ON FLORIDA SOIL.
Marines Landed on Islands Near He
Hcst to Search for FiIibuafers.

Marines Landed on Islands Near Key
Vest to Search for FiIibusters.
KEY WEST, FLA, Sept. 29.-Great in
dignation has been caused here by the
report that marines from the Spanish
cruiser Conde de Venadito have been
landed on the keys north of here to search
for tilibusters. 1t is supposed that the
filibusters have arms and supplies con-
cealed on one of these keys, and the Conde
de Venadito has been on the watch for
some time. Now, it seems, according to
reports brought here by fishermen, that
seachlng parties have been landed from the
cruiser on Almsey key, thought to be a
rendezvous for flibusters. 1t is believed
the reports are true, as copies of La Lu-
chaux, Havana paper, received here yes
terday, state that the commander of the
Conde Venadito has orders to make a
thorough search OF the keys near this city
for filibusters and arms.
The citizens here are indignant and the
State Department will be asked to investi-
gate. The keys belong to Florida and are
as much portion of the United States as
the mainland. If the Spaniards can land
searching parties on the keys they can
also land them on the mainland. The in
suit is considered as gross to the United
States as if the Conde de Venadito had
landed marines to search the homes of
Cuban sympathizers in Key West.

A good, healthy who1esomeness will
make even honely face attractive.
There are many reasons why women
should take care to be healthy. One
very strong reason is that beauty and
illness are very seldom found together.
Illness-and especially the kind peculiar
to women-makes the complexion bad,
the eyes dull and sunken, the manner
Estless and the intellect dull.
No woman in this condition can be at
tractive to her friends. Personal ap-
pearance counts for much, but comfort
amounts to even more. What's the good
of living if one cannot enjoy anythings
If headaches and backaches and drag
ging WEAKNESS and pain accompany even
slight fatigue?
If the system is constantly subjected
to a debilitating drain, where Is the
energy to come from to make enjoyment
possible?
Personal comfort and consideration
for the feelings of others are two of
the incentives to an effort to secure
health.
If the illness is in any way connected
with the purely feminine organism land
the chances are ten to one that it is)

RAILROADS FOR CUBA.
An erica,s Capitals Back of Proposed
Venture.

An. erican Capitals Back of Proposed
NEW YORK, N. Y, Sept. 29.-After
nearly weeks stay in this city, his visit
having been shrouded in mystery, Senior
Rafael Montoro, the chief Cuban member
of the Spanish Cortes, left hurriedly for
Tampa, Fla, early this morning.
Senior Montoro's friends declare tn at his
mission to this country has two-fold OBJ
ject. Las. Friday night he met three we'll
known corporation lawyers at the New
York Club. On Saturday he was again in
consultation with them. A complete sys-
tenn of railroads, a recently projected net
work connecting the interior of the island
and the coast-line towns and cities, was
subscribed to literally by New York capi-
talists and the work of construction has
been fully outlined. This work has been
greatly interfered with in its progress by
the insurrection. The New York investors
became chary of putting their cold cash
into Cuban securities when armed bands of
insurgents were securing the island. To
bolster this scheme was undoubtedly one
object of these conferences.
Before leaving the city, Senior Montoro

SMUGGLERS OF GUANO.
Report That a Vessel Is Out
fitting for the Capture of
Guadalupe.
WATCHING CALIFORNIA PORTS.
Alarm Of the Ensenada Authorities
Believed to be Without
Foundation.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Sept. 29.-Mexican
officials at Ensenada have been instructed
to take precautions against filibustering
expeditions from any port of California,
and directed against any islands of Lower
California coast 1t is believed this order
ls the result of Consult General Coney's re-
ports from San Francisco, to the effect that
vessel is supposed to be outfitting there
to take possession of Guadalupe Island.
An agent of the Mexican Government is
stationed here, in addition to Consul
Lemeli, and he laughs at the idea of TAX
ing Guadalupe by force or through alleged
title. ~
81 think it will be found that the fill
clustering expedition is simply few poor
devils of fishermen going down after
guano," he said.
There are large deposits of guano both
on the mainland and the islands. and the
business has grown to such Importance
through San Diego that the Mexican Gov
eminent has had its attention called to it.
Thus far guano has been gathered by
small schooners against the revenue laws
of Mexico, and stop will be put to it.
Already Ensenada authorities have prac-
tically broken up the business, and
schooners leaving here are closely watched
and instantly reported to Ensenada. The
concession for gathering guano is owned
by the Mexican Land and Colonization
Company, and it has a schooner now in
the trade.
This vessel, of course, will report all
marauders it sights, and company
steamer will also be used to run them down.
The steamer caught two Americans at
San Martins Island some weeks ago, and
they are now in Jail at Ensenada. Their
store of guano was confiscated.
They were hardly guilty, as they were
working for the owner of the schooner, but
at the same time it will probably be long
time before they escape. AS for Guada-
lupe Island, there are no guano deposits
there, and it is of value simply for the
wild goats found there in vast numbers.
The concession for killing them is owned
by Don Mariana Garcia of Mexico and he
is able to take care of it.

The Steamer Puritan Unable
to Enter Its Slip at ST.
Joseph.
GREAT DESTRUCTION ON LAND.
Houses Blown Down, Trees Up
rooted and Orchards Stripped
Of Their Fruit.

ST. JOSEPH, Mich, Sept. 29.-The
hardest storm and the longest in duration
which has ragged here since last fall COM
menced Saturday morning and has as yet
abated but little. No steamers have left
here since Friday night and much fruit Is
now lying on the docks awaiting transpor-
tation.
The steamer Puritan left Chicago this
morning in the face of the gale, arriving
three miles off this port at IL O'Clock. She
was rolling and pounding very badly and
could be seen only portion of the time.
The waves were rolling over the piers and
she could not enter, and started off on the
Milwaukee route. Two schooners were re-
ported this afternoon as being ashore be-
tween here and South Haven.
The wind has whipped the remaining
fruit off the trees, blown several small
houses down and torn shade trees up by
the roots, besides damaging telegraphic
communication.
Early this morning a freight train on
the Chicago and West Michigan Railway
was stuck in the sand that had been blown
on the track during the night. Gangs of
shovelers were put to work and cleared it
after several hours work. The excursion
train from Grand Rapids was delayed by
the engine being damaged in its efforts to
pull through the sand obstruction along
the tracks.
Reports from Muskegon are that ter
rife lake gale has been raging there for
twenty-four hours, and waves have rolled
higher than for many years, submerging
wharves and doing considerable damage.
The steamers of the Goodrich line did
not leave port last night, owing to the
roughness of the lake. To-day the lake
has been in an angry mood, and no small
craft could weather the sea. Several boats
are sheltered here, waiting for the lake to
calm down.
At Holland fifty-mile an hour north
west gale ragged last night, and the sea is
rolling over the piers. The Buffalo and
Chicago transportation boats out of there
were ordered to remain in port last night.

NEWS OF THE HUMBOLDT
Mail and Passengers Secured
From the Wreck of the
Vessel.
to Pieces on the Rocks Be-
meath Her.

EUREKA, CAL, Sept. 29.-The tug Ran
ger. which left here yesterday afternoon
for The scene of the wreck of the Hum
boldt, returned at $50 this evening, bring
ing mail from the vessel. The tug took
the United States life-saving crew, who
proved of great service, as the tug could
not get near the vessel on account OF the
rocks.
The Humboldt lies about two miles
south of Point Gorda, surrounded by
sunken and projecting rocks, making it
hazardous to reach her evea with life
boat. The crew, however, succeeded in
transferring the mails to the tug, after
which all baggage between decks was put
ashore on the beach.
Captain Edwards remains aboard the
steamer while First Officer Bone and eight
men of the crew are on the beach. The
vessels upper works are still intact and
she lies on an even keel, but the splinters
with which the beach is lined shows that
she is being gradually ground up on the
rocks beneath her. Her hold is full of
water but the tide does not rise above the
main deck.
Chief Engineer Foord arrived on the tug
this evening and confirms the report that
the vessel will be a total loss The pas
sengers arrived in FerndaIe this evening
and three members of the Hosmer-Ross
Dramatic Company came through to
Eureka by private conveyance tonight,
arriving at II o'clock.
They report all the rest of the passengers
in good health and spirits, but greatly
fatigued by the trip in heavy wagons from
the wreck. They are expected in the city
on the train tomorrow morning.

THOUSANDS TO ATTEND.
Two Large Halls Necessary to
Accommodate the
Crowds.
DE QUESADA ON THE REVOLT.
Says the Patriots Greatest Need Is
Recognition From the
United States.

CHICAGO, ILL, Sept. 29.-All arrange
ments have been completed for the meet
ing of Cuban sympathizers to be held in
Central Music Hall Monday night. The
programme includes addresses from lead
ing citizens of Chicago, who are interested
in the struggle for independence now in
progress just south of Florida. So great
has been the manifestations of interest and
sympathy that the committee has rented
Association Hall as well as Central Music
Hall and two meetings will be held.
Among the speakers who will address the
Assem- blages are Rev. F. W. Gunsaulus,
Hon. w. J. Hynes, George E. Adams, DR..
P. S. Henson, Thomas B. Bryan and
George R. Peck.
Gonzales de Quesada, secretary of the
Cuban revolutionary party, and O. A..
Zayas of New York arrived in Chicago last
night as the invited guests of the Cuban
Revolutionary Club. 1t is not unlikely
that they will address tomorrow nights
meetings. Their visit to Chicago at a
time when the American sympathizers
were to hold mass meeting is merely a
coincidence, they claim. They come in
the interest of the revolution in Cuba,
their prime object being to look after the
question of finance, arrangements and am
munition for the aid of their countrymen
in Cuba. Said Gonzales de Quesada this
evening:
"Our organization, the Cuban Revolu-
tionary Party, is composed of 200 clubs,
located in this country, Mexico and South
America. This organization was formed
three years ago of the disintegrated ele-
ments of the old Cuban war veterans. We
have done great work, and in February
last the revolution in Cuba was launched.
We have had to overcome human selfish
ness. l never saw anything like it. We
have to fight an army of self-seekers and
beggars, well-wishers, and all that. Some
how the story has got out that there is a
vast amount of money behind this move
ment; that we all have money to throw
away and are not too wise in spending it,
and from hour to hour, day to day, have
to fight off tramps.
''I have just received letter from Cuba.
We have an army of between 81, 900 and
10000 men, of which 10000 are we'll armed,
but the rest are poorly armed and there is
need of ammunition. What they need
and desire is recognition from the United
States. Why, the Spanish tell the ignorant
down there that they will finish up whip
ping the Cubans and then will cross over
into this country and whip the United
States. You see it it is only ten-hour
trip across from Florida, and the influence
of the United States, through the press,
commercially, and by reason of the fact
that many Cuban families have sent their
sons to American colleges to be educated,
has brought about this revolution.
"We have already set up republic and
elected General Bartolemo Masso Presi-
dent. l have had no official notification
of this, but am reliably informed that
such is the case"

"I am not in favor of the present insur-

my position, am. and always have been,

Cuba's great need is home rule, and that,

such union with Spain as Canada enjoys
with England. Cuba, in short, must stand
before the world as an integral part of the
mother land.
Americans are badly informed concern

there are not more than $4,000 armed

The great Spanish force concentrated on

CLEVELAND, OHIO, Sept. 29-The
gravest apprehensions are felt here for the
safety of the passenger steamer State OF
New York, of the Cleveland and Buffalo
line, which was due here at 6: 80 Sunday
morning from Buffalo. Up to midnight
she had not been heard from, either at
American or Canadian ports, and has not
returned to Buffalo.
A high wind has been blowing all day
and very heavy sea is running in Lake
Erie. The officers of the company say the
boat is safe, but are unable to give any in
formation regarding her whereabouts.
Although late in the season for passenger
travel, the New York had quite a large
party of excursionists on board, Just how
many the company will not state, nor give
an estimate. AT the steamers wharf there
is much excitement. Experienced vessel
men say that if the New York is not shell
tered behind Long Point ietty, about one
hundred miles northwest of Buffalo on
the Canadian shore, it will be next to i'm
possible for her to have survived the heavy
gale that was blowing this afternoon.

North Dakota OUTLAWS.
FARGO, N. D., Sept. .29-Conductor Boil
tons mixed train, which reached here
early this morning on the Northern Pa
cific road, was held up near Buffalo, n. d.,
at o'clock this morning by tramps, and
John Freeson, Frank Richards and Charles
Jemrak were robbed and severely beaten.
Richards is the most seriously injured, his
coIlar-bone having been broken by being
thrown from the train by the robbers. The
other men are badly pounded about the
face. They are now being cared for here.
The robbers secured $50 in all and made
their escape.
Just as the train was pulling into Buffalo
the men appeared and made an attack
upon the three men, using their revolvers
as clubs. Richards was the only one who
made any resistance, and, after robbing
him, the men threw him from the train.
The others were forced to jump off. The
robbers jumped and fed when the train
was stopped.
The trainmeg knew nothing of the rob-
berry until they heard Jemrak and Freeson
shouting for help, after they had jumped off.
