THE BANCROFT OFF TURKEY.
THE DISPATCH VESSEL ARRIVES
AT SMYRNA.

Circumstances to Govern Her VOy-
age to Her Eventual Destination
at COnstantinOple The Report
That She Was Sent to Force the
DardaneIles HumiIiating to Tur-
key-It VIII BE Allowed to Die
Out Before Any Further Move Is
Made.
Washington, Oct 15.-The dispatch ves-
sci Bancroft reached Smyrna this morn
ing, according to a cabegram received a,
the naval department from Admiral Self
ridge.
1t is stated at the navy department that
the little vessel must have exhausted her
coal supply in the 1,SOO-mile voyage, the
length of the Mediterranean, and she will
undoubtedly remain at Smyrna for several
days at least to refill her bunkers. 1t will
then depend entirely upon circumstances
whether she will proceed to her intended
eventual destination at Constantinople.
While quiet reigns at the Turkish capital
Minister Terrell will probably not ask for
the firman permitting her to pass the
straits, especially in view of the recent
eAlelif fliAilS puUAlCdlAbilS dLlTIDQllUS 70 nef
distinctly hostile invasion.
These reports are known to have been
morufying to the Turkish authorities, as
they were so totally at variance with The
UNIFORM and repeated assurances of this
government that the presence of all our
ships in the Levant was amicable.
1t is believed, therefore, that the effect
of these stories will be allowed to subside
before the little ship proceeds to Tchanak,
at the entrance to the Dardanelles, and
that Minister Terrell will await a more
favorable opportunity to ask her safe pas
sage to the Golden Horn.
With the Bancroft's arrival, Admiral
Selfridge now has his entire command di-
rectly under his eye, and according to his
instructions he will at once rearrange
their crews to bring together all the men
whose terms of enlistment are about ex-
piring on the Marblehead in order that
she may leave with them for New York.
This portion of the programme can only
be altered by contingencies arising which
might make it advisable to keep the entire
fleet together for some further time.

TWO ExILEs FROM CUBA.
The Cleans Reach New York After
Many Hardships.


New York, Oct. 15.-Wiliam and Louis
Clean were passengers by the Ward line
steamer Yumuri from Havana, which
reached quarantine last evening. This
morning the brothers stated they were not
yet ready to make a statement for publ
cation. They were glad to get away from
Cuba with their lives, although fnau-
cialIy ruined, their fine plantation ana
property at Sagua having been entirely
destroyed. Both men had been in prison
for thirty-nine days, but through the et-
forts of the United States consul at Sa-
qua and other influential friends they
were finally liberated. No cause was given
by the Spanish authorities for their ar
rest, their only crime being the fact that
they were American citizens, which In
Spanish eyes was sufficient evidence thar
they were hostile to Spain
Both men are warm in their praise CT
the United States consul at Sagua, ana
also of Gen. Lee, the United States con-
sui general at Havana, who were untiring
in their efforts to regain them their free
dom. The Clean brothers will lay Their
case before the state department at
Washington within a few days.

STEVENSON SPEAKS.
The Vice President Talks for Bryan
at Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 15.-Vlce Presi-
dent Adai e. Stevenson addressed an
audience Of about $500 people at the Dav-
idson theater this evening. Several thou
sand people were unable to gain admis-
sion. His address was on the same lines
as that delivered by him at ST. Louis, on
oct. 3, and the cheers and applause with
which 1t was punctuated were emphatic.
This was the first campaign speech de-
livered by the vice president in this cam
pa.gn outside of his own state.
The speaker asked whether the public
interests would best be subserved by the
success Of the democratic party, or the
return of its great antagonist to power.
He called attention to the fact that for
thirty years previous to the election Of
President Cleveland there vas
not a single moment when the
democratic party controlled the
Presidency and the Senate and House of
Representatives at the same time. and
therefore all the legislation which has
brought in its train financial disaster
must be laid at the door Of the republi-
can party. He referred TO the enforced
idleness and the wrecked fortunes" which
followed the demonetization Of silver in
1872, and then asked his hearers II they
were ready to return TO the schedules
Of the Mckinley law-'the most unjust
tariff schedules known to our history"
He claimed that the Victories Of the
democratic party In 1890 and 1892 we're the
result Of the revolt against the Mckinley
law He quoted Mckinley, Carlisle,
Walker. Blaine and other economists to
show that the republican party had never
dared to declare unqualinedy in favor Of
the gold standard until 1896
