LEE HAS AMPLE SUPPLIES.
Can Relieve Americans in Cuba for n
Time Without Further Aid.


WASHINGTON, May 26.-Consul General
Lee cabled the State Department to-day
from Havana that the amount of supplies
he has now on hand there for the rellef
of American citizens in distress is abund-
ant and will last for some time. Presum-
ably this statement applies generally to all
the consulates, for the consul general has
been in consultation with his subordinate
consuls on this very matter by direction
Of the secretary of state. At any rate, the
department will now pause before NOV
ing further in the direction of relief. Yes
terday steps were begun to hurry forward
supplies from this country to Cuba just as
soon as General Lee was heard from. Gen
Sullivan, commissary general, had selected
one of his most experienced assistants,
Captain Davis, who rendered such good
service at Memphis in the relief of the
food sufferers, TO go to Cuba with the
supplies if necessary and distribute them
under the general plans of General Lee
The New York commissary depot was to
undertake the purchase of the supplies
Then Mr.. r. A Smith, a director in one
of the steamship lines plying between New
York and Havana had offered free trans
portation to Cuba of the supplies and eV-
erything was in trim to begin to move as
soon as word came from General Lee. Now
however the department will wait until
General Lee notifies it that there is further
need for relief before putting its plan into

Rev. A. G. Harrison Alleged 10 BE 3d.
900 Short i'm His Accounts.

WASHINGTON. May 26-Rev. A. G. Har-
rison, pastor of the Peoples Tabernacle,
and his family disappeared from their
home here yesterday, and it is reported that
the reverend gentleman is SO 900 short in his
accounts. He was given entire charge of
the church funds. and. according to the
charges, failed to pay bills for furniture,
carpets and a church organ. for which the
money was given him, and also borrowed
large sums from his parishionerS. w. l..
Bruen, the builder of the Tabernacle, is a
loser to the extent of $1,000 When Mr..
Harrison learned that an investigation was
to be made by the church he departed
hastily, leaving his household goods. He
came TO this city from Texas three years
ago, engaged in mission work and gained
so large a following that the Tabernacle
was built, chiefly through the efforts of
Mr.. Bruen, to give him a following.
At meeting of the church council to-
night the determination was reached to dis
miss Harrison from the pastorate and his
name has been taken from the front of the
edfice The debts contracted for by him
will be paid by the church. The police OH
cials have not been notified of the detalca-
ton, and il is considered probable that no
steps looking to arrest will be taken.

Remains of Mrs. j. u. Davis Used nv
Evidence in IL VIII Contest.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 26,-The novel
feature of the contest over the win of j. z.
Davis, now on trial before Judge Coffee,
is the fact that the ashes of the widow
of the testator, inclosed in a neat little
metal casket with a circular lid or cover
wen soldered on, have been introduced in
evidence and during the sessions of the
court the box occupies conspicuous po-
sition on the desk of the witnesses. After
adjournment the box is taken in charge by
the clerk of the court and filed away with
the other exhibits in the case. The box
was made twice the usual size ii having
been the intention of Davis that his ashes
should also be placed in the receptacle and
mingled with those Of his helpmate in life.
But owing to the scramble over the estate
of the deceased, his wishes in this respect
have not yet been carried out.

many days the young men of the tribe set

a model found in one of the illustrated
weekly papers that reaches the reservation.
Work has progressed to the point where
the thing has assumed definite shape and
design.
The ship is a can-shaped affair and the
propeller is huge revolving wheel. very
much like that which appears in the illus
trations of most of the standard air ships.

reservation, says the Indians will surely at
