tubhn question.
WASHINGTON. j. c.. March 13--The
President is known TO be giving much
attention to The situation in Cuba. so
far as can Zoe learned. nothing definite
has yet been the outcome of his consld-
Grafton Rumors that an investigation
commission or an army officer has been
or Will Doe sent 10 Cuba do not find COR
Fo10raiion among Wol-lnf ormed officials.
Several army officers have applied for
leave Of absence. with permission TO 20
to cuba but m each OF these cases the
permls SON asked FOR was refused. While
it SIS not believed at the War Depart
ment that any of the officers who made
application desired TO take part i'm the
present hO,ulities I'd was deemed blst
to Keep them away from Havana.
There were several reasons for this.
10 was thought that the Spanish Govern
mcut might Doe suspicious of the presence
OF United States army oG.ce.s IN tine per-
turbed section. and it was feared that
fhc feeling against This country WighD
lead TO incidents in which these army
officers might Doe involved that would be
decidedly embarrassing 90 the Govern
mcufs at Washington and Madrid. lt
is obviously impossible chat any Amcu-
cam army officer could hare vislod Cuba
under these conditions without his Irca+
cuce being promptly reported.
10 is also learned that permission 10 80
to Bermuda and other British fortified
positions near tho United States coast
was refused 90 United states army Of
Gcers since Air. Cltyclands Venezuelan
message was sent 20 Congress. The Tca'
SON for this is obvious. American Off
0cers might De held I'm distrust as persons
seeking information about tho British lor-
ulcations. and the War Department diQ
not propose TO take amy chances.

'Republican money was offered other OF

Several thous and bicyclists also pa
raded under the auspices OF the National
Wheelmen's Mckinley and Hobart Ciun.
With innum cradle lanterns and decorations,
they made very pretty display.
The two big parades arranged Tor next
Saturday night have both been abandoned.
The Republicans had secured permit to
parade on the south side and the Demo-
Gratis wrr. granted a similar privilege on
the west side.
Both wanted to march over the same
route, and the Democrats applied to the
courts for an injunction to prevent the
police from interfering with their parade
on the south side. This was refused.
Then the Republicans decided to call off
their parade to prevent clashes between
the two bodies. 1t is said they even Of
fered to turn over their permit to the
Democrats, but the latter declin cd to
accept such favor from their opponents
and declared their parade also abandoned.

OLD SOLDIER DISAPPEARS
Was on a Visit to Sons Here From
The Hampton Home.
He Had Arrived There, But 1t
Proves to BE Forgery.

The police have bden requested to ascer-
tain Tue Whereabouts or Joan T.. Street,
an old soldier and an inmate OF the home
at Hampton, who disappeared from the
city mysteriOusly on or about the 10th
of last month.
IL has L,en the habit for Street, who,
for some years has been an inmate OF
The Hampton Home, TO visit his children
In this city once every three months ana
IN accordance with this custom he was here
on the 18th OF last month stopping with
married son, Mr.. +. W. Street, residing
at No. 607 Elm street northwest.
Being cripple, the old man spent most
OF his time INDOORS, but after several days
Of inacuViGy, uo JhougnC that a stroll
would be beneficial, and taking his crutch
and cane, started out, nodding CHEEKY
assent To his daughters suggestion regard
ing the dinner hour,
Dinner that day witnessed the old man S
chair empty, but his children gave this
no serious thought, concluding thai he had
gone to visit another son, who lives in the
northeastern part OF the city.
A week went by before the thought
OF making inquiry presented itself, and
then, when young MIR. Street visited his
brother and learned that their father
had not been seen and was supposedly at
the Elm street house, the police Were
notified.
Tile patrolmen kept q sharp lookout Tor
the ola man until they Were relieved OF
the care by dispatch from Hampton to
the effect that Streets had reached there
and all was well. This was on the 25th OF
last month.

He had in his Possession considerable
