JUST A WOMAN'S JEALOUSY
At the Bottom of Salvation Army
Troubles
Ilngton Booth Will Lead No Revolt.
Others Have Doubts

CHICAGO, Feb. 2S.-A local paper today
pr. "a the following: There are intima.
tionsN me woman's jealousy of another
woman's success lies at the root of the
trouble in the Salvation Army and that the
beautiful and intellectual Maud Ballington
Booth, whose wonderful work and great
personal popularity in the United Statea
have lacerated the feelings of other female
members of the Booth family, is the thorn
in the flesh.
Major Adde of Springfield, commander
of the Illinois division of the Salvation
Army, and Major Stillwell of Minneapolis
directing the forces in Minnesota ant
northern Michigan, are in the city. A del
egation of Salvationists met them on theii
return from the east and piled them with
questions concerning the trouble between
the Booths and the revolt in New York
Major Addie said:
"All is at peace so far aa the army in
general is concerned. Ballincton Booth
whole matter will he settled amicably and
Ballington Booth restored to us. don't
know what the trouble is between them,
nor does any one else in the army but
General Booths immediate family. 1t is a
family difficulty entirely, and being that
we look for an amicable adjustment of it
all when the general gets home from
India.'
Major Stillwell said: "There is no de-
nying the fact that there is a powerful
feeling in New York over the way Balling-
ton Booth was put ont, and, accepting his
own story for it. it does appear that the
manner of his disposition was needlessly
summary, not to say tyranncal. The de-
fection is serious in New York, and the end
is not yet.''

For the Protection Of the Sub.Treasury at
San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 2S.-In conse-
quepce of q warning recently received by
Treasurer Widber, the custodian of the
public funds, the interior of the city trea-
sury now presents almost the appearance
of an armory. and the bank robbers who
attempt a raid there will meet with . re-
ception that will be the reverse of peace
able. Heavy sawed-of shotguns, such as
are used by express messengers and treas
ure guards, all capable of throwing MUIR
derous charges of buckshot, stand behind
the counters in places where they come
perfectly handy to the clerks, but are in
visible to those outside, while navy revolv-
ers of the latest pattern and carrying
heavy rifle cartridges are equally available
on all sides. All are fully loaded and
ready for an emergency, which, while it is
hoped it will not rise, is fully pre-

ceeded in getting away with $1,000, and
which warned the police that q desperate
gang of bank thieves had begun operations
in this city, an intimation was received
that suspicious looking characters had
been seen spying about the city treasury.
Not long after Information was received
that an attempt would be made to loot the
treasury and carry away the contents of
some of the many trays of shining gold
which can be seen through the narrow win
dows where the cashier holds forth. That
the detectives found good grounds for a be-

The Opinion Of Somewhat Over-EnthusIas-
tic Correspondent

The Opinion Of a Somewhat Over-EnthusIas-
tic Correspondent
CHICAGO, Feb. 2S.-The Posts WASH
ington special says: Beyond a question
the United States is nearer war than it has
been for many years. The temper of con-
gress is strongly in favor of active inter-
vention for the independence of Cuba, and
without doubt is prepared to commit this
government to extreme measures in sup
port of that position. Members of the
senate anil house of representatives have
been overwhelmed with expressions of
sympathy from every kind of organization
and from hundreds of thousands of in
dividuals, all indicative of eagerness for
the liberation of Cuba, and not man on
the floor of either chamber has the slightest
fear of offending his constituents in going
to the extreme in this direction. The
American spirit has been so aroused that
it is only question of few hours when
there will be an open declaration to the
effect that Spain must either terminate
hostilities on the island or admit the inde-
pendence of the INSURGENTS.
The first impulse was to put politics
ahead of national patriotism and conflne
the glory of the resolution to congress.
But the tremendous enthusiasm with which
the movement has been received by the
country at large has very much broadened
the views of the leaders of both branches
of congress, and there is q manifest will
ingness to make the resolutions joint in
form, SO as to permit the president to par
ticipate in their formation.

A HUNDRED HURT
A Terrible Accident at q Roller Polo Rink
Last Night

A Terrible Accident at q Roller Polo Rink
Last Night
i, FALL RIVER, Mass, Feb. 28.-A terrible
accident occurred in the roller polo rink
tonight. There were 1000 people in the
rink to see the Fall River and New Bed
ford play, and the galleries we're so crowd
ed that the seating space on the floor
was filled. Suddenly the east side
of the rink fell. More than forty men and
boys were injured, many of them seriously.
Up to midnight there had been no deaths
reported from the hospitals where the
victims were sent, but it was said that at
least six of the men are fatally hurt.
Under the gallery that fell there was a
solid mass of spectators, and when the
crashing timbers gave them a slight warn
ing, the rush for safety was terrific. Owing
to the high and strong wire netting be-
tween the seats and the surface it was inn
possible for people to get from the falling
gallery, and dozens were caught and held
until others had pulled away the mass of
ruins.
When the gallery fell at least $50 people
we're precipitated to the skating surface.
Then there was a period of great excite
mont and panic that would have been
fearful in its results was narrowly averted.
OF the $50 who fell at least forty were in
jured, twenty-five seriously. Every ply
sician in the city was notified and in half
an hour a dozen were in the rink caring
for the wounded, which had been turned
into hospitnl.

TIMBER PROTECTION
The Presidents Objection to the Leasing Of
Arizona Lands

The Presidents Objection to the Leasing Of
Arizona Lands
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The president
today returned to the house of representa-
tives without his approval the bill author
izing the leasing of lands for educational
purposes in Arizona. He objects to that
portion of the measure which provides that
until the legislature makes regula-
tions concerning the leasing of
lands and suitable limitations and
safeguards regulating it, the governor.
the secretary of the territory and the su-
perintendent of public instructions shall
constitute a board for the leasing of the
lands under the rules and regulations
heretofore prescribed by the secretary of
the interior. Under the act it is not neces-
sary for the secretary of the interior to
give his approval to the leases. Under
these circumstances, he says the lands,
whose value largely depends upon their
standing timber, may be leased and
denuded Of their timber by officers, none
of whom have been chosen by the people,
and without the sanction of any law or re-
Rulation made by the representatives OF
Arizona in the local legislature. The pro-
tests received from numerous and influen-
tial citizens of the territory, he says, indi-
cate considerable opposition to this bill.

why his wife had not inquired as to his
whereabouts.
DR.. Brown said he would put his wife on
the stand to testify as to the truth of these
statements and to the fact that he had with
few exceptions always accompanied her
home from church gatherings, etc. Here
the applause became SO great that the
room was ordered cleared and the council
adjourned to the library, where it trans
pired that Mrs. Davidson's attorney would
not consent to her appearance before the
council, and the question of admitting her
charges was discussed. 1t was agreed that
the charges should not be admitted unless
Mrs. Davidson appeared for cross-exam-
ination.
1t was announced that Miss Overman
would again take the stand Tuesday next.
DR.. Brown made a statement that the
reason for Miss Overman's continued resi-
dence at his home since the trouble began
was because she was without means and
that if she were to apply at any hotel, res
dence would be refused her, owing to the
great number of people that would call to
see her. DIR. Brown would have to stand
the expense of such residence, which he
stated he was unable to do. He made the
statement in view of the fact that much
gossip on the subject was heard and he
wished to place her and his position right
before the public.

DUNRAynN'S CASE
Yacht Club nembers Sympathize-St. James
Gazette Does Not

Yacht Club nembers Sympsthize-st. James
Gazette Does Not
LONDON, Feb. 2S. = The expulsion of
Lord Dunravcn from the New York Yacht
club was privately discussed by the Yacht
Racing association, and by advice of Lord
Dunraven it was decided to call special
meeting to deal with the matter.
Sir George Baden-Powell said he had
startling statements to make in regard to
the announcement that Lord Dunraven's
resignation as honorary member of the
New York Yacht club had not been re-
ceived by that body. The resignation, he
said, had not only been mailed to the Sec
retary, but it had been cabled as we'll to
the club. Continuing, Sir George said the
feeling among the English yachtsmen was
one of sympathy for Lord Dunraven, who
he contended, had acted as a gentleman,
and it was open to grave doubt whether the
same could be said of those in America
who opposed him.
The st. James Gazette says: The New
York Yacht club very properly expelled
Lord Dunraven, and we now only regret
that the credit of British craftsmanship
was ever identified with man who can
behave SO badly. His charges we're inn
probable and his refusal to accept the de-
cision of the committee was a sheer piece
of childish obstinacy.

the recognition as an unfriendly act, IL in
no position to resent it. She could gain
nothing by declaring war against the
United STATES, who. in addition, can make
out case which is at least plausible. that
it is merely a tariy and reluctant recogni-
ton of palpable facts.
The supplementary resolution was
avowedly added in Difference to those who
would gladly provoke war with Spain.
The proposals of the Independence OF
CUBA, presented, as they probably will De,
with directness of speech in which
American politicians often indulge, could
not fail to prove in the highest degree
offensive to proud and sensitive people.

eide to take on this resolution and the
Inhammatory language in which it was dis
cussed demand the most serious consider
alton by Spain. Her position is one OF
such difficulty and delicacy that she may

disappearing the recent history of Cuba.
DIstasteful as almost any course, save an
obstinate continuance of the struggle. must
be to the majority of Spaniards. it may
perhaps be advisable to consider whether
home rule for Cuba is not the best solu-
ton.
A dispatch from Madrid to the Standard
says that the papers there publish some
curious statistics as to the cost of the Gu
ban war. Nearly 10000 men have been
sent to the island and the cost of the re-
bellion has already amounted to 100000
600, and for the second year it will exceed
fI5,OOO,00O.
The Standard correspondent says that
Captain-General Weyler reports that it
will take at least two years to crush the re-
bellion.
The Chronicle thinks that in view of the
concurrent resolution, Captain-G General
Weyler's action and the approach of the
presidential election, President Cleveland
will not hesitate long.
"The seriousness of the situation" the
Chronicle states, ''cannot we'll be over
looked. 1t is inconceivable that Spain
should agree to give independence to Cuba.
1t is equally difficult to see what effective
opposition she could offer if the
United States determined to follow
it's good offices by faction. The American
government, however. is entering upon a
thorny road at the bidding of congress.
We suppose that it fully recognizes all the
responsibilities that it is proposing to in
cur.''

COAST DEFENSE
Denounced by the New York Central Labor

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-Members of the
Central Labor union and sympathizers of
organized labor filled the large hall of
Cooper Union tonight to protest against
the proposed expenditure of $11O.OOO,OOO
for coast defense, as we'll as more millions
for an increased navy.
Jerome O'Nell, secretary of the Central
Labor union, acted as chairman. The
first speaker was Charles w. Hoadley. Sec
retary of the Building Trades association,
who declared that nobody wanted war ex.
cept, perhaps, the inventor of a new rifle,
the srnokeless powder or the maker of the
bunting used on land and sea.
John McLuckie of Homestead, Pa, who
was connected prominently with the strike
at the Carnegie works, spoke of the armor,
plates manufactured for the navy. He
said the armor plate now on the Monterey
had one hole in it as large as the face of an
ordinary eight-day clock and which was
filled with forty plugs. What reliance, he
asked, could be placed on such armor? He
mentioned as other ships on which frandu-
lent armor had been placed the New York,
Oregon. Amphitrite, Terror and Massa-
chusetts.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The examina-

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Feb. % (via Gal
veston).- 1896, by the As
sociated Press The campaign against
the insurgents is being pushed with the
greatest vigor by President Zelaya. As in
timated in these dispatches yesterday the
president decided not to wait for the Leon
lists to attack Managua, but ordered an ad-
vance upon the enemy and captured the
town of Nagarole on the western shore of
Lake Manasua, about twenty-five miles
from here and on the way to Leon. Naga-
role is now held by . small body of the
government troops, and a column is push
ing forward in the direction OF Leon.
Early this morning Momentobo, on Lake
Managua, was bombarded by gunboat
after the place had been called upon to
surrender. Ten shells were thrown into the
town and fire ceased when the insurgents
fed in terror. The loss of rebels and the
amount of damage done is not known.
Momentobo has declared in favor of
General Ortiz, the leader of the insurrec.
ton. Reinforcements of men, arms and
ammunition have been received from
Granada and a second column will be sent
OF the government troops up to the present
have had the effect of making the presi-
dents supporters very confident of ulti-
mately suppressing the rebellion. Very
little information Is obtainable concerning
the doings of General Ortiz and the Leon
lists, but according to report they have
succeeded in placing over 1000 men under
arms and are advancing to meet the govern
ment troops. If this is the case decisive
engagement should shortly take place.
EFFECT ON THE CANAL.
NEW YORK, Feb. 28.-Warner Miller of
the Nicaragua Canal Construction company
said last night that he has been expecting
for some time general uprising In Cen
tral America.
"Such an uprising, however," he added,
"would not affect the Nicaragua canal
interests. The United States governm ent
has always afforded us ample protection
and all our grants and concessions have
been given regularly by acts of congress,
SO that we have nothing to fear from any
political overturning.
mo Information has yet been received
at the NicarAguan consulate in this city
indicating that the revolution is likely to
spread all over Central America, but such
state of affairs has been expected"
