Stars aud Stripes Again Disregarded by
the Spnniards.
BOSTON, MASS, Feb. 29.-Another Bos-
ton schooner has been held up by the
Spaniards in Cuba and the Stars and
Stripes have again been disregarued.
In letter dated Mayaguez, Porto Rico,
from Captain 1. w. Bowden of the bark
Clothilde, he says that his vessel was
boarded at Ponce by Spanish officers, who
declared that she had on board a large
consignment of contraband goods, NUM-
tions of war, etc.
Notwithstanding the captains objection
two soldiers were stationed on board all
the time she was in port and when she
sailed for Mayaguez two officers remained
on board and the trip was made under the
escort of Spanish gunboat.
The entire coast line between these two
ports was patrolled by soldiers. Then,
when they failed to find single indication
of contrabands, the officers demanded $40
for expenses. which, to save delay, Captain
Bowden paid.
1t is understood that this case, together
with that of the Navarino, will be re-
ported to Congress.

FLEEING TO ,HAVANA.

4merica ms in Cuba Endangered by the
Senate's Action.
HAVANA, CUBA, Feb. 29.-Since the at
titude of Congress on the belligerency
question has become plain the feeling
against Americans here has greatly in
creased.
The seizure of the Bermuda allaved the
feeling for few days, but ii is now more
intense than ever. The Spanish blame
the United States for all the present
troubles.
The local press is bitter. The fact that
the insurgents discriminate in favor of the
property of Americans adds to the hostile
sentiment.
Already there is talk by extremist Span
iards of making demonstration against
the United States. The volunteers are
most rabid.
The Captain General assured the Con-
sul-General some weeks ago that regulars
would be held in readiness to protect
Americans against the Spanish volunteers
should the emergency arise.
The absence OF an American warship is
greatly deplored.
The only foreign cabIegram published in
Diario, a leading paper. this morning is
the conviction of the officers of the Horsa.
There is nothing from Washington or
Madrid. Through private dispatches only
the fact leaked out that the Senate had
acted.
As the situation is realized the feeling
grows. 1t is impossible to predict the rest.
Americans are fleeing from all parts of the
island to Havana.

The Spanish Garrison at MamSaniHo IN
Action.
HAVANA, CUBA, Feb. 29.-The steamers
Colon, San Fernando and Leo | II arrived
from Spain to-day, bringing 64OO addl-
tionaI troops.
All this afternoons papers publish dis
patches from Washington containing the
news of the adoption by the United States
Senate yesterday of resolution favoring
the according of belligerent rights to the
Cubans.
The dispatches further add, however,
that it is not expected that the House OF
Representatives will approve of the Sen
ate's stand in the matter.
The garrison at Manzanillo to-day fired
upon the insurgents who attempted to
prevent the construction of railroad to
Bapamo. The Spanish lost one killed.
Two of the railroad laborers were wounded.
Nine rebels were reported killed.
A skirmish near karacca resulted in the
killing of three rebels and the wounding

A TRIP OVER THE SANTA FE
Officials See Where the Operat-

Reduced.
The Cut.Rate Scheme of a California
Publisher Repudiated by Chicago
Lines.

CHICAGO, ILL, Feb. 29.-President Rip
ley, Vice Presidents Robinson and Morton
and other officials of the Santa Fe Rail-
road system who accompanied them on
their extensive tour of inspection, investi-
CATION and retrenchment, returned to Chi
cago to-day. The party was absent more
than a. month, and every part of the big
system was closely inspected in operation.
The result of the trip Will be large saving
in the operating expenses, but the econo-
mics will be effected without making any
wholesale discharges in shops, offices or
stations. The number of employees whose
services have been or will be dispensed
with is much smaller than was generally
supposed from published reports.
At special meeting of Chicago lines en-
gagged in California traffic held to-day, all
repudiated any connection with the
scheme OF an agricultural paper TO get set
tiers on California land owned by the pub
Usher by advertising cut rate.
ALI the roads agreed to have no dealings
with the publisher, so that his cut rate
cannot hold good.
The called special meeting of the ad-
visory committee Of the Western Immi-
grant Clearinghouse, which was set for
Monday next, was held to-day because
certain memb bers who will attend the con-
ference with tie Canadian Pacific at Mon
treal next Wednesday could not do so and
meet here Monday. 1t was merely de-
cided at to-day's meeting that as many
members of the board as possible should
attend the Montreal conference, and then
proceed to New York to have conference
there with Traffic Manager Hawley of the
Southern Pacific at the end of the week on
the question for which the advisory board
meeting was called-that of the proposed
mem bership of the Southern Pacific in the
Western Immigrant clearinghouse.

opinion that the recognition of the belli-

the face of Yankee pride.
Spain" says the impartial, must pre-
pare for an emergency. We are not so
weak as to render our hostility matter OF

Change of Time Tables by Ttco Steamship
Companies.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Feb. 29.-With a
view to make it impossible hereafter for
the great vessels of their respective lines
to indulge in ocean races the American
and White Star lines steamship companies
will change their time tables April 1, so
that their vessels will leave New York sew
eral hours apart. Under the new agree
ment the American line will leave st 10
A. M. and the White Star ships will get
away at moor, two hours later, so that the
American line boats will be outside the
Hook when the White Star boats start.
The agents do not admit that there is or
has ever been any racing between the two
lines, but they say under the present ar
rangements the ships sometimes hang to-
gether for several days after leaving port,
doing the best they can, but still keeping
we'll together; This fact has frequently
given rise to the impression that the ships
were racing.

seven priests OF this diocese ont of

son.
When n banquet was proposed as
one OF the features OF the entertain
ment n very large minority voted
against It. This unexpected dposltIon
Icrcated great excitement. Father
Zcigler. of st. MalachI's church, asked
the archbishop II he meant to Impose
duties on his priests which would calise
them to violate tlme-honored customs
and rules OF the church. He also re-
ferred to the fact that when Arch

Archbishop Kahn replied In an I'M

autocratlc policy OF his predecessor,
Archbishop Kenrick, but few OF the
distinguished hierarchy OF the Roman
Catholic church had visited st. Louis.
His grace declared he had invited Car
dInal SatolH to honor the diocese with
a visit, and his emlnence should be cor
daily received and Hospitality enter
talned.

methods, that had been keeping the

The discussion among the clergy
grew very warm, resulting finally In

Lenten dinner, and in other ways mod
