BOARD DEMANDS MONEY.
The Hospital Committee Ready to Build
 City Auditor Brown will Seek Advice,

The board of health at a special meeting yesterday afternoon voted to make a demand upon the city auditor for money with which to pay the pre- nn1inary expenses toward building a hospital for the treatment of contagious diseases. It was also voted to direct Architect Van Wrinkle of New York to prepare plans and specifications for the proposed building.
 MT. Van Wrinkle was the architect of the buildings used for the care of such diseases in Paterson, N. J., which the hospital committee of the board of health recommended as most suitable one for this city. The board at the suggestion of the committee, adopted the plan. Before the vote was taken City Auditor Brown, who had been cited in before the board to give a. statement as to the status of the hos pital bond issue ordered by the court of common council last April, said that the bonds had been prepared and were row in the safe deposit vaults. He also said that he would not dispose of any of them or pay out any money on their credit without advice from the corporation counsel He suggested to the board that the only way to bring the matter to a focus was for 1t to make a demand upon him for the money He would then seek the ad- vice of the corporation counsel. The committee informed the board that it was ready to begin work and asked that action be taken upon the report, hence the vote which now makes an issue between the court of common council and the board of health.
 The members of the board contend that no official notice has been served upon their body as to the action of the court of common council either in the board of aldermen on December ' or of that taken by the cOuncilmen on Monday evening. They say that there is no necessity of their being baked in the building of the hospital at this stage of the proceedings and that they will continue to work upon the plan already laid down.
 The board revoked the plumbing Ii- cense of E. J. Flanagan of Grand ave- rue for violation of the ordinance gov erning plumbing.

ARINDONED 4T SEA.
Schooner Laden With Coal for New Ha-
 ven Probably Total Loss.

ven Probably n Total Loss.
 New York Dec 15.--At 3 o'clock this afternoon, when coming into port from Newport News and Norfolk, the steam CT Yorktown sighted three masted steamer off Deal Beach, N. J., flying signals of distress. The Yorktown bore down upon the vessel, which proved to be the Grace K Green, bound from Philadelphia to New Haven, with a cargo of coal When within hailing distance it was seen that some of the sails of the schooner had been blown away and 1t was ascertained that the Green wanted to be lowed into port
 The Yorktown manoeuvred around the schooner, and in doing so the two vessels came together the schooner's jibboom catching in the steamers bull warks, tearing some of them away on the port side. The boWsprit and head gear of the schooner were carried away at the same time. When the vessels came together four of the crew of the schooner clambered on board of the Yorktown. They were Peter Cordial, the cook, and John Long, Thomas John- son and Peter Isaacsen, seamen. The latter had his leg caught between the cathead of the schooner and the steam CT and it was badly crushed. He was taken to the Hudson street hospital, when he reached port, and it is feared that amputation will be necessary.
 When the vessels got clear of each other Captain Charles W. Frisbie of the schooner, accompanied by Edgar Frisbie, the mate, and Joseph Obsen, a seaman, got into a small boat and were taken aboard the Yorktown, Cap tain Frsbie abandoned the schooner, because of her sails having been blown away, the loss of part of her crew, the imposslbility of getting a line from the steamer on account of the heavy sea, and the probability that the vessel would be blown ashore in the increas- ing gale.
 As soon as Captain F'risbie reached port he started out on one of the Chap man wrecking tugs in the hope of find ing his abandoned vessel and towing her into port His chances of success seem small, as tie wine is blowing over fiaty miles an hour outside of Sandy Hook tonight and the weather is very thick.
 The schooner Grace K. Green was built at Portsmouth, N. H., in 1884 She is Al feet in length, 34 feet wide and IS feet in depth, 3S5 tons net, and is owned by Charles E. Walker of Portsmouth.

PLiTT WILL BE ELECTED
Says Lieut. Governor Saxton Who Was
 One of Major McKiniey's visitors.


 Canton, O., Dec. 15.-The rain this morning did not interfere with the rush of visitor to the home of the pres ident-elect Colonel Brutus Clay of Kentucky and ex-Lieutenant Governor William Comback Of Indiana were among the early callers.
 Lieutenant Governor Saxton of New York arrived here at 1:S0 with Mir Hanna and lunched with Major Me Kinley.
 The visit of Chairman Hanna has not in any way changed the cabinet situa- tion, so far as the public knows. There is still ample reason to believe that no portfolio has been rendered to a single person. MT. Hanna has not determined upon his own course. He talked for an houh or more with MT Mckinley about his trip to the east, and ac- quainted him with what had been done in the way of arranging for the inauc- ural ceremonies. MT Hanna returned to Cleveland late this afternoon.
 Lieutenant Governor Saxton dis cussed with Major Mckinley the situa- llpli III AStW ] ul h WI. SdNlcn Sdlt later:
 There is no doubt about the election of MT Platt to the United States sen ate. He will have very large ma- jority of the republicans in the legisla- ture. I cannot say that New York is united on any one of the cabinet at present"
 Brutus J. Clay discussed Kentucky politics with Major Mckinley to-day. MT Clay afterwards said:
 '"The trouble with Kentucky is that we have too many good republicans, who want to go to the senate to sue ceed MT Blackburn. Governor Brad ley ought to go to the senate, because he has, in my opinion, done the most for the party, but what is most impor- tant is that some republican should go. Major Mckinley impressed upon me the Idea that it would not do to lose that seat in the senate when we have so good chance to get It. His notion is that we ought to sink all personal ambition and animosities for the good of the party and country

OYER THE PRESIDENTS VETO.
The Senate Votes a Pension to Soldiers
 Widow.

Washington, Dec 15-In the senate, to-day, the bill granting pension of $3O month to Nancy G. Allabach, which was vetoed last session by the president, was taken up on a report from the committee on pensions, May 9 last, recommending that the bill pass, knowing the presidents objection, which was on the ground that the sol dier had lived for thirty years after his discharge and had never claimed pension for disability; nor had his death been caused by service in the army.
 MT. Palmer, dem, of Illinois, said that he had been asked very signif1- cantly if he desired to have the bill passed knowing the objection of the president. He did so desire. He had the most profound respect for the pres ident, but he thought that the president ought not to interfere with the amount of a pension fixed by the two houses. In this case Mrs. Allabach had pen sion of $S month under the dependent pensions act, and the bill proposed to give her the pension of widow of 8 colonel-the rank held by her husband.
 The vote was then taken, resulting: Yeas, 41 nays, Il; and the bill was passed over the presidents veto.

Destitution in Newfoundland.

St. Johns, N. F., Dec. 15-Further re- liable reports show the spread of desti- tuition at White Bay, in the extreme northern portion of the island. Urgent demands are being made upon the gov- ernment to provide relief. On her last trip the mail steamer was unable to reach there owing to the ice blockade. She had to land the privisions sent at a place twenty-five miles south Of the station intended. The government will probably send an additional supply of provision on the next trip of the steam CT, as that will be the last chance to reach the unfortunates until spring.

FEWER NAT. BANKS FOR BOSTON. The Purpose is to Improve Savings Bank
 Holdings.


 Boston, Dec 15.-Since the appoint ment by the savings banks of the conn., monwealth of a committee charged with the duty of finding what can be done toward reorganizing or liquidat- ing the national bank capital of Boston, so as to improve the savings banks holdings in that property, the commit tee has been engaged in a. careful in- vestigation of the subject. It works in body and is canvassing the situa- ton with national bank directors in as thorough a manner as possible.
 It is intimated that, as result of it's investigations, there will be fewer national banks In Boston, by five or six, as soon as matters can be arrang- ed. There is also a possibility of one new national bank of large capital be- ing established to take the business surrendered by those going out of bus- mess The time when these changes will come about cannot be foretold, be- cause they announce them in advance at the defeat of the committee having the mater in charge, which Is to get out of investments that have become un- profitable with the least possible loss. and, therefore, the report to the savings banks, if one be made, which is not certain, Is not likely to furnish much advance information.

HEoIpRoc1rY CLAUSE IN NEWBrIL
Republican Members of Ways and Means
 Committee Will Early Frame It.

Washington, Dec. 15.-Notwithstand-
 gil will not negotiate a new commercial treaty with the United States, the re- publican members of the ways and
 means committee, who intend that the
 reciprocity clause of the new tariff bill
 shall be one of it's principal features, believe that Brazil can be brought into the agreement.
 It is intended that the new reciproc-
 ity treaties shall be differently con- structed from those that were negoti- ated under the law of 1890, in that they shall be abrogated only by the consent of both parties and after two years
 notification from either side. Their ab-
 rogation by the last congress proved, it
 is claimed, a serious embarrassment to
 a number of countries which, under
 the original arrangement, immediately
 enlarged their output of certain prod-
 ucts and found their market in this country greatly reduced when they trea
 ties were no longer In force. It is to SudTu dS SdlIlSL IIllS contingency lHtt lllC committee will insert the provision
 making their annulment impossible on
 anything less than reasonable notifi- cation.
 | It is pointed out that if Brazil, from
 whence we import the larger part of our coffee, refuses to treat with us, the
 great stimulus given to the production
 of coffee in Mexico, Venezuela and oth- l CT countries will soon shut Brazil out of this market and give it's control to those countries Guatamala is also ex- pected to be strong competitor in the coffee market, and it is believed that, with one or two exceptions treaties can
 be arranged with all the Spanish-speal1- ing people.
 It is further explained that the trea- ties will remain in force as long as the republicans control the presidency,
 which will be at least three years after
 the treaties shall have been negotiated and possibly number of years longer, | if the republicans are again successful in the elections of 1900 It is not un-
 likely that the reciprocity clause will be the first upon which the republican members of the ways and means con-
 mittee will agree, and that Its provis- ions will be fully outlined before any definite understanding is reached re- specting the schedules or the free list.

pursuing the insurgents in the province of Pinar del Rio. Other papers resent General Weyler's alleged suppression of telegrams recording the ovations to Major Cirujeda upon the receipt of the news that his command had defeated a largely superior force of rebels and killed their leader, Maceo. This action is attributed to jealousy on the part of General Weyler, who, the papers claim, desires to have no one share with him the honor of suppressing the insurrec- ton.
 Creditable rumors are current that the government is not at all satisfied with General Weyler's administration of the civil and military affairs, and that if the situation in Cuba does not shortly improve, the government in- tends to substitute in his place Gen. eral Marin, at present governor of Por- to Rico.

THE CENTERTFILE ROAD
Likely to Become a Part of the F. H. X "

Likely to Become a Part of the F. H. X W.
 Roads System by the First of January.
 The managers of the Fair Haven and Westville railroad have lately been con- sidering a proposition relative to the operating of the New Haven and Gen. terville railroad in connection with the Fair Haven road. The Centerville road is a. natural continuation of the Fair Haven line, and the purchase and op- erating Of it by the latter would un- doubtedly be an advantage in many ways to the public. A through line to the depot through Dixwell avenue, Broadway and the center of the city would be very desirable, and in this way the congested condition occurring at the corner Of Church and Chapel streets in the summer would partially be done away with.
 If matters are as represented by the owners Of the Centerville line the two lines will without doubt be operated under one system and control from the first of January next.

HIS CRIME EXPIATED.
Pat Cough1in Executed for the Murder of
 Sheriff and Constable.

a SnerlH ana n COnStaDle.
 Salt Lake City, Dec. 15.-Pat Cough lin was executed in Rich county, this state, to-day, for the murder of Deputy Sheriff Dawes and Constable Stagg in July, 1895. Coughlin chose shooting as the manner of death He was pinioned, blind-folded and seated on chair and six deputies fired simultaneously, airn- ing at the heart, over which a piece of white paper was fastened. Every shot pierced the mark and death was instantaneous.
 In July, 1895, Coughlin and Fred George stole band of horses and were pursued by officers. They were sur- rounded in cabin and when called on to surrender, fired repeatedly, killing the two officers named and wounding others before the posse retired. Sev- eral days later they were captured 150 miles from the scene of the killing. The men were tried and Coughlin was sentenced to death and George to life Imprisonment.

General Miro Coming to This Country.

New York, Dec. 15-It appears from the talk among the Cubans here to- day that an effort will be made to bring to this county General Miro, the only patriot who escaped from the slaugh- ter of December ', when General Ma eco fell The information of the es- cape of General Miro is regarded by the patriots here as trustworthy, and his valuables are known. He is said to have been a witness to the manner of General Maceo's death, and to pro- nounce it as deliberate murder under a flag of truce.

Charges Against Sheriff Tamsen Dismissed

Albany, N. Y, Dec. 15.-Governoz Morton has dismissed the charges made some months ago against Sheriff Ed ward J. H. Tamsen of New York city.
 The governor says the facts disclosed on an investigation of the charges would not justify his removing the sheriff. The charges alleged that the sheriff was incompetent and had been guilty of gross negligence in the per- formance os his duties. Hon. William H. Robertson of Katonah was appoint ed by Governor Morton as a special commissioner to take testimony on the charges. The commissioners report yindicated the sheriff.

Monster Demonstration at Jacksonville

Jacksonville, Fla, Dec 15.-The in- dignation of the Cubans of Jacksonville and the American friends of Cuba over the Maceo tragedy was expressed to- night by great torchlight procession and mass meeting on vacant lot, no building in the city being large enough to accommodate the crowd.
 Judge R. B. Archibald, one of the leading lawyers of Florida, presided, and speeches denunciatory of General Weyler and the Spanish government were made by prominent citizens.
 Sheriff Napolean Broward, the com mander of the steamer Three Friends, made strong plea for free Cuba. He predicted victory for the Cubans by April 1, 1897.
 State Senator John r. Hartridge, a candidate for the United States sena- torship, said the coWardly assassina- ton of Maceo was the most disastrous thing that could have occurred to Spain. Maceo was black man, but he was fighting for white and black alike and hls death only created a greater sympathy for the struggling Cubans.
 General J. J. Dickinson, commander of the confederate veterans of Florida, said he was ready to raise a regiment of 1000 men to go to Cuba and drive the Spanish off the island.
 Resolutions calling upon the United States government to at once declare the independence of Cuba were unani- mously adopted
