908 Broadway, May 8. I
There was an unusual tinge of sorrow at
the funeral of Veteran James Hill, who
was buried by his comrades in the SOL
diers' plat this afternoon.
Memorial day is not far off, and Com
rade Hill had expressed strong desire TO
take part in the exercises at the plat on
Post, G. A. R., and last year, owing 10
what is now called Misunderstanding
and which will probably soon be called a
mistake, Lyon Post was suspended from
the Memorial day exercises.
This grieved The old soldier, for be real
lied that, with his eighteth year of life
fast approaching, it could not be long be-
fore he would be sleeping where the four
howitzers keep guard at Mountain View,
and the duty would devolve on his COM
rades OF seeing that his little mound re-
ceived its shar OF flowers.
For many years Comrade Hill was chap
ain of Lyon Post. and to-day the men,
bers OF that body and many other 6. A. r.
men attended the ceremonies and went to
the plot in special cars.
The deceased was also an old fireman.
and the fire laddies turned out in uniform
also, and the procession going out New
Broad way presented q strong contrast to
the thousands of pleasure-seekers who
were journeying to the out-of-town re-
sorts.
James Hill was at one time Chief of the
Fire Department. of this city. and at the
time of his death was the oldest ex.chi.f
in the United States. Sixty years

MANY PARK ACCIDENTS.
The Cliff House Hereafter Will Re.
serve Its Galleries for Patrons
Who Paw


Who Pay.
Yesterday was an eventful dav for the
park in the way of small accidents and
the physicians at The ambulance station
were kept busy.
One of the mishaps came very near be-
ing a serious disaster. 7. Nolan, the lum-
Der man, was out driving with his wife
and when near the racetrack a strap OF the
harness broke. The horse began 10 kick
and plunge and sweIved on to high
bank. The occupants of the cart were
thrown out. Noian's right arm was dislo-
Gated at the shoulder, but Mrs. Moan
who, as she expressed it, dropped out
very neatly" escaped unhurt save for q
few scratches.
A most cowardly attack was made on f.
Stafford of 334 Tyel.t tn street as he was
returning home from the base ball ground.
He had stopped fight between two play
ers earlier in the uay, and some one, pre-
sumably for revenge, slipped up beh.nd
him and dealt him a heavy blow on the
head with bat, and then ran away.
Stafford injury is not serious.
Those who met with MINOR accidents
were: Emile Lantern of 13 Auburn street
Richard Rogan of Bill Sixteenth street.
George Mahoney of Bill Sixteenth street.
Ernest Crow OF III Shotwell street, Gerald
Jones of 1917 Pine street and Mrs. Eriras
of the Clifford House, who tainted at the
music stand.
Harry Forester was arrested for fast
driving. A mounted officer dashed up
and caught the offenders big bay by the
head and jerked him to standstlli.
At the Sutro baths the Lamont family
of gill and boy gymnasts performed some
pretty feats.
The Cliff House has shut down on the
economical crowd OF people who have been
in the habit OF enjoying the galleries and
the music out there, but never spending a
cent to help the management pay the
rent. Henceforth those who use the two
upper galleries must spend at least dime
in some department of the house.
At the Chules the Monaghan Social and
Benevolent Society enjoyed an outing.

SOME MISERABLE CUBANS
CHALES VI. PEPPER WRITES ~
REGARD no THEM.
Disease Dccimatng the Helpless tn
fortunates Captain General Blan-
cos Plans Thwarted.

Charles NJ. Pepper, who was in Hon
olulu this summer. accompanied by
his family, is now in Cuba, CORES
ponding for the Washington Star.
Mr.. Pepper gives the following &c
count of the condition of affairs IN
the province of pinar del Rio. lie
says:
A Spanish born tobacco merchant,
who is a naturalized American citizen,
gave me today his own experience in
parts of Pinar del Rio. He found the
concentrates dying in worse sur
roundings. if that could be possible,
than during the last few monlhS. The
authorities had done nothing To car
nv out the humane intention OF Geh.
Blanco's revocation decree. They had
no means with which to do anything,
they said. Within his own observn-
ton had come an instance IF Eloa,ed
and diseased cattle being killed and
the meat eaten to satisfy the rave
nous hunger of the paciticoS. In the
villages, where the water supply is
from the running streams, il has been
polluted by the soldiers washing their
wounds and through similar causes.
In Consolation and neighboring pla-
ces smallpox has broken out for the
third time within a year. II would
not pass another week in Pinar del
Rio for $4,000" said the tobacco mer-
chant in telling his experience.
The same man told me how his own
effort to take advantage of the revD-
cation order and help some of the pa
citicos had been foiled. This was ut
Alequisa, in the province of Havana.
He had proposed to take a few fami-
lies, put them on tobacco farm near
the village where the insurgents have
not interfered with the crop, build a
few huts and provide food until they
could earn something. The local com
mandant refused permission for the
paciticos to leave unless the tobacco
merchant would put up little forts for
the soldiers. who. he insisted, would
have to be detailed to protect the pa
cifcos. This meant that it would cost
more to get the crop in than it would
bring in the market. and this mer-
chant was thwarted in his efforts TO
do something for the starving people.
! have heard of other instances in
which the commentaries defeat tne
execution of Gen. Blanco's revocation
decree. They do not openly defy It.
but they have no trouble in keeping
il from being carried out.
