The Southern Pacific to Change It's
Route in Arizona.
PHOENIX (Ariz), Jan. 10.-Colonei
Fred Crocker and J. Sloat Fassett, ex-
Collector of the Port of New York, left
Phoenix tonight, their destination be-
ing San Francisco. Just before the train
pulled out Colonel Crocker consented to
an interview, the first since his arrival
in Phoenix.
When asked about the proposed
change of route of the Southern Pa
cific system, Colonel Crocker admitted
the truth of the statements published
regarding the abandonment of the pres
ent line between Bowie and Gila Bend,
but added:
1--WE cannot tell how soon. The en-
gineering difficulties to be encountered
are great, and it will take some little
time to build it. 1t is true that this pro-
posed change would make the route to
the coast 80 miles longer, but we pre-
sumo this will be more than compen-
stated by the added scenic features.
I'VE recognize, of course. that finan-
cially it is better for the Southern Pa
cifc to run through this rich country
rather than through the desert, as 1T
does at present.
I'VE propose to start a surveying
party over the proposed route late in
the spring, OF. as soon as the snow is off
the mountains. We did not intend this
information to become public property
at this time but since it has been pub
lished l can see no harm in admitting
the truth of the statements

The New Executive Committee of the
Capital City Wheelmen Take Hold.

The new Executive Committee of the
Capital City Wheelmen's Club held it's
first meeting last night, all the mem
bers being present and President Scott
Ennis presiding. It was a long and in
teresting session, and involved thor
ough discussion of the status of the
club, it's scope and purposes, the pow
ers and duties of the Executive Commit
tee, the defects in the constitution and
bylaws, and propositions for their bet
terment.
There was also considered the matter
of a Ladies' Auxiliary Club, the possi-
bilities concerning a club house, con-
sideration of local ordinances affecting
wheeling interests, good road and street
work, administration of club finances,
the bookkeeping of the club and similar
matters.
The deepest interest was manifest and
a unanimous intention to favor a policy
that will improve and elevate the club
and make it still more desirable as a
social and a cycling organization.

Homer Wilson Safe In San Francisco
His Friend, Professor Novt.


His Friend, Professor Novf.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1O.-Homer
Wilson, the Canyon City, Cal. banker
who, together with a friend, Professor
NoW of this city, was reported in
Thursday mornings dispatches as hav-
ing mysteriously dropped out of sight
in Russia, appeared in the flesh at his
Office to-day as usual and denied the
story of his disappearance.
Mr.. Wilson returned from his Euro
pean tour on December 21st last, and
states that he left Professor Novi, or
more properly speaking, Count A. Nov
ossiltzoff, alive and well in Berlin on
November 10th. The Count carried with
him excellent credentials signed by the
Secretary of State and Supreme Judges
at Washington, and Mr.. Wilson has
no reason to fear that anything i'll has
befallen his friend. Mr.. Wilson con-
cluded:
LAS regards what has been said
about the Count being an imposter,
know of my own knowledge that his
wife drew from the Olympic Bank in
the State of Washington the sum of
$50 600 coming from the estate of her
husband
This and other matters connected
with him have impressed me with the
belief that what he says of himself and
family is the truth. His banishment
from Russia was of a personal nature
with the Car The late Car, Alexan-
der l., fully restored him to favor, but
died before the confiseated estate had
been returned to him. 1t is to get this
property that he is now in Russia.

UNCLE SAM AND CUBA.
Cleveland Thinks That Recognition of
the Latter Would Injure Her.
A Hint That He Has Something Else
Up His SIeeve-General Maceo's
Close Call.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1O-A Herald
special from Washington says: Friends
OF Cuba are bringing tremendous pres
sure to bear in favor of Congressional
action looking to the recognition Of the
rebels as belligerents. Their chief
spokesman appears to be Mr.. Suber of
New York
The question of Cuban recognition is
a serious one, and is receiving much
consideration. 1t is conceded that Con-
gress can do nothing except to express
its opinion. The administrations posi-
tion has not been changed. It is said
that the time to recognize Cuban bel
hgerency has not yet come.
The President believes that recogni-
tion of belligerent rights would hurt
the cause of free Cubans instead of
helping it. The President has other
views concerning the proper method of
getting at the Cuban question, as will
be made known in good time.
So far the Foreign Affairs Commit
tee of the two houses have been work
ing in harmony with the administra-
tion. Chairman Hit of the House COM
mittee and Chairman Sherman of the
Senate committee had a long talk with
Secretary Lamont yesterday 1t is said
that both are in favor of inaction at
this time. If the Cubans were to cap
ture Havana that would put another
aspect on the question. The Cuban lead
ers in Washington do not hope for such
news.
If the Cubans will only be patient and
keep up the fight 1t is the general be-
lief in well-informed circles that the
ira
movement in their behalf much more
important and far-reaching than the
doubtful expedient of formally recog-
nizing belligerency or an expression of
sympathyin Congress.
MACEO NEARLY CAPTURED.
HAVANA, Jan. 10.-Reports are in
circulation here that prior to the pursuit
of his command by the Spanish column
under General Prat, Antonio Maceo, the
rebel leader, accompanied by an escort,
approached an expert guide in the
Province of Pinar Del Rio and asked to
be conducted to the headquarters Of
Maxine Gomez, obviously having lost
track of the latter's whereabouts.
While the parleying with the guide
was going on, Maceo was surprised by
the firing of General Prats guns, and
made haste to escape. otherwise he
would have been captured by the ad-
vancing Spaniards. AS it was, he was
cut off from his command and forced to
abandon his own troops.
A number of engagements have taken
place in the Province of Pinar Del Rio
to-day. 1t is believed that the main
forces of the rebels under Gomez and
Maceo are surrounded and cannot es-
cape.

Unutterably Opposed to Having Populists
Indorse Bryan.

Chicago, July 19.-The secret trip to
Chicago from st. Louis made by Chair
man Taubeneck of the peoples party
on Friday seems to have been for the
purpose of making preliminary or ten
tative plans for a temporary conven-
tion in this city to nominate an inde-
pendent populst ticket for president
and vice president, should Bryan and
Sewall be indorsed by the convention
at ST. Louis July %. There Is much
quiet talk among local populists of a
plan to fuse with the democrats, the
populists supporting Bryan and the
democrats some man to be selected by
the populists' as their candidate for
vice president. This is to be done
through the election of presidential
electors. However, in Chicago there
seems to be doubt as to the feasibility
of this scheme, and the action at st.
Louis is awaited with interest 1t the
fusion, as proposed, does not go through
the ''rump'' convention is said to be as
good as assured, for many populists
declare that they never will support
Bryan and Sewall.
