GROVER CLEvELANp's BROTHER.
He Intends to Split tho Presbyterian
Church of Chaumont.

Chaumont, N. Y. April 30-Though Rev.
William N. Cleveland. the deposed pastor
of the Presbyterian church In this village.
preached his farewell sermon last night to
his rebeii.ous flock. II is not at all certain
that IL was the last sermon he will preach
In the place. II IL probable that he will
dispense the gospel In Chaumont for years
TO come. but not in the little church over
which he has presided for tho last four
years. Talk OF secession from the trou-
bled church Is rife. Indeed, actual seces-
sion has already begun.
Since Rsv. Cleveland was dismissed from
his pastcrate last Tuesday hy the St Law
renee presbytery six influential and lih-
erai members OF his congregation have
given M their pews, and many more are
expected TO follow their example In the
next few days. All OF these people are
thick-and-thin Cleveland supporters; in
deed. every citizen OF the village. except
Ing the dozen families who led the oppo-
sition against him. still stand by the bro
Their OF the president. and there is serious
talk OF erecting a new chapel and engage
Ing him to preach in ~. A committee az
citizens has waited upon Mr. Cleveland
and made such a proposition TO him. He
Is considering H. The seccders declare
that II will be impossible for them to wor-
ship In tho same church with the people
who brought about their pastors dismiss
sal. and they are determined tina, Mr..
Cleveland shall he the pastor of the new
church. They claim that In that way alone
can he be indicated In the eyes OF the
world. IL is proposed to have him preach
In the town hail until the new chapel Is
completed.
When questioned concerning the matter
Mr.. Cleveland said: 1T Is true that such
a proposition has been made 70 me. but I

MACEO WAITING FOR RAIN.
Ho Declares That He Can Cut the
Trocha When He Choosea.


Havana. April 2o-If Gen. Maceo sue
ceeds in crossing the eighteen-mile bar
rier in spite Of the 60. 600 Spanish regulars
pressing him on all sides. Gen. Weyler
must confess, as Gen. Campos did. that
the campaign is a failure and that Spain
cannot end this war by her own unaided
forces. The rebel general has sent word
to his friends in Havana that he will
break through the trocha when he is ready
and that, when the first showers a rain
fall. the captain generals plans will turn
to dust.
1t Is certain that Gen. Maceo has some
sure means of suddenly assembling his
rowing bands on this side Of the trocha,
some say by means of colored paper pal
looms. and others by messages. There is
growing belief here that IL Gen. Wey-
Ter is outmaneuvered Spain will presently
welcome the friendly mediation of the
United States. Even the Spaniards share
this feeding.
Prisoners Of WAT are condemned to death
as incendiaries kithout the proof Of guilt.
Evidence that a rebel soldier belonged to
column of the enemy which burned prop
erty Is sufficient to insure his death. The
prisoners death depends upon whether he
Joined the offending band before or after
the incendiarism occurred. 1t is said that
nearly 100 prisoners will be shot as incen-
diaries within few days.

President Kruger Givcs Cham-
beriain No satisfaction.

London. April 1-The South African
situation stil absorbs q large share Of
public attention. and apprehensions for
the safety Of subjects of England in Ma
tabeieland and particularly in Buiuwayo
are not yet abated- There Is an appar-
ens sense OF relief over the news that .
supply train from Mafeksng has got
through to Buiuwayo and that reinforce
ments Of imperial troops from Mafek,ng
are being rapidly pushed forward for the
relief Of the place. which Ia to all pur-
poses beleaguered. % closely invested by
the natives that numerous skirmishes are
occurring almost in the outskirts Of the
town. Friends OF the people in Buluwayo
and this includes, so far as sentiment Is
concerned. all England-are relieved to
hear that no extensive offensive move
ment - planned AT present against the
natives. There have been grave fears
tina; the whites would be rash and invite
disaster.
The reply Of President Kruger to the In
yitstion of Colonial Secretary Chamber
lain to visit England and discuss with
him what remedies can be applied to the
grievances of the Uitlanders in the Trans
vaaal is the newest factor in the South
African problem. The reply Is not ac-
corded u very kindly reception by the
English public.
In its editorial commenting upon Presl-
Chamberlain, the Times says: IF Presi-
dent Kruger and his supporters willfuliy
close their eyes TO obvious facts and OBJ
durately refuse to redress the grievances
OF the Citlanders. circumstances may oc-
cur that will force US to rely upon the
primary right OF all communities to save
themselves from imminent peril" The
Times tomorrow will publish dispatch
from Pretoria which says: President
kruger's reply to Mr.. Chamberlain is
friendly and conc.liatory. but it fails to
advance the negotiations"
A dispatch from Mafeking TO the Times.
dated Saturday, says: There has been q
meeting here OF representatives of Cape
Colony. Natal, the Transvaal, the Orange
Free State and the Chartered South Afri-
ca Company, by whom the whole OF Be
chuananaland was decided TO be infected
with the rinderpest. 1t was resolved that
there was necessity for combined action.
"A large force of Beers. estimated at
1.50o. is massed twenty-five miles from
Mafeking. which Is on the borders of the
Transvaal, with a machine gun. Their
purpose ostensibly is TO prevent the
spread of the rinderpest. but they are
really there because another raid Is
feared. owing to the massing of the Brit
ish troops here to be forwarded to Bulu-
wayo. DR.. Jameson's raid started into
the Transvaal from Mafeking"
DR.. Duncan has telegraphed to Earl
Grey from Buluwayo that the chief fear
there Is of treachery of the natives in
side the town. He adds that, owing to the
employment of dynamite and barbed wire
and the addition OF new forts. the lager
Is now considered impregnable.
