War Cry Superannuated Fund

CAUSE OF TROUBLE.
This Fund Now Amounts to
About $4,000.
Ballington Refrains F. ON Fur
Their Remarks.

New YORK, March 13.-Relative to
the causes of Ba1lington Booths re-
tirement from the command OF the
Salvation army in the United States,
the following IS published here: Some
time ago Ballington Booth submitted
to his father twenty-five grievances
and asked for remedy and relief from
them The principal one was concern
ing the WAR Cry approximation
fund.-
The sale of the War Cry in this coun-
try was sanctioned by General Booth,
who agreed to ten per cent of the
sales being set apart for a fund for
disabled and superannuated soldiers.
1t was with this agreement and under
standing that the paper was sold IN
this country. This fund now amounts
to probably Ss, 900 or $4,000.
Some time ago, it is claimed, Gen
eral Booth sent for this money, which
he intended using for army purposes
elsewhere, thus divertirg it from its
original purposes. Ballington Booth
declined to accede to this demand, and
said the fund was for the American
army's superannuaJed soldiers, and
not for the extension of the army.
Immediately on top of this Balling-
ton Booths removal was ordered,
which led to his resignation. Balling-
ton Booth, it is added, has refrained
from stating his true position out of
consideration for his father.

WEYLER RELENTlNG.

Captured Suspects to BE Released on
Promise of Loyalty to Spain.
HAVANA, March 13.-Captain GEN
eral Weyler has issued another proc
lamation, the terms of which indicate
a purpose to still further soften the
severity of the proclamations he is
sued soon after his arrival.
This latest official edict provides
that all persons captured up to date
in the provinces of Havana and Pinar
del Rio, who are suspected of having
been members of a rebel band, should
they of their own free will deny that
they belonged to such band, will be
liberated in every case, provided they
will give their promise before two
witnesses to be loyal to the Spanish
cause and provided, also, that no one
appears against them to offer charges
of any other crimes.
