RIFLES FOR PATRIOTS.
Gen. Roloff Takes 5000 OF Them to
Cuba-Biggest Expedition That Has
Been Sent to the Island.

New York Feb. 21.-The Sun says
that the sudden disappearance of Cen
eral Carlos Roloff, secretary of war
of the Cuban republic, whose bail was
forfeited at Baltimore, has given rise
to the report yesterday that another
expedition had started to Cuba under
his command
Although the greatest secrecy is
maintained in the offices of the Junta
about the affair. the fact that General
Roloff is now off to Cuba was con-
firmed yesterday by some prominent
Cubans. How he slipped away is a
matter which the Spanish consulate is
trying to discover through the detec-
tives at its services.
The expedition is, in fact, the most
important that has ever gone to Cuba,
and if it lands safely there it will be a
tremendous blow to the cause of Spain.
1t carries 5000 rifles, three cannons, two
repeating guns of an improved make,
firing one hundred shots minute,
with the advantage that the firing can
be stopped at will, and a quantity of
explosives equal to all that had been
sent to Cuba before.
All the money collected by the Cuban
delegation here after the death of Ma
Geo has been spent on the expedition,
and more besides. The general cost
| was estimated yesterday at about $780,
| 900.
Among the Cubans here it is be-
| lived that the fate of the revolution
| depends in great part on General Ro-
| lofts success. If he is captured by the
| Spaniards there is no doubt that the
cause of Cuba will suffer considerably
| In the last days of the winter season
| the patriots in the field will feel the
| need of materials for use in a decisive
campaign during the RAINY season,
which is so unfavorable to the Span
| iards. But if the expedition lands, it
means 5000 Cubans more under arms
and formidable help for General Go
mezs plans.
| The men who go with Roloff, and who
are said to be 100, have been carefully
selected among the Cubans in the Unit
ed States. A great enthusiasm pre-
walls among the Cuban revolutionary
clubs here about the expedition and the
management of it is highly praised.
Senior Tomas Estrada Palma, the
Cuban delegate here, when seen yes
terday in reference to the report that
| General Roloff, the Cuban minister OF
war; had already left for the island
| said that he could not confirm or deny
| the report.
General Roloff," he added, "tooE
| leave of me about a week ago, saying
that the mission which brought him tC
the United States was fulfilled and he
must soon return to Cuba and take his
place in the cabinet. This is all

him with the secretary of the COM

MET DEATH IN A
PETROLEUM VAT
Frank O'Hanlon Instantly
Suffocated by Poisonous
Fumes.
Entered a Huge Tank to Clean
1t and Fell to the Bottom
Dead.
A Rope Had BEN Fastened to Him,

B dy.

Frank o. Hanlon, scrap-piler, met his
death yesterday afternoon by being as
phyxiated in huge petroleum tank at
the Pacific Rolling Mills.
The tank, which is about 25 feet deep,
contained several inches of oil. A gang
Of workmen were ordered to repair and
clean the immense receptacle and O'Han-
Ion was selected from the number as the
man who should enter the tank.
As soon as the cover was removed it
was found that the receptacle was full of
warned by his partner not to enter it. A
consultation as TO the danger was held.
and 1t was finally decided as precaution
to tie rope around O'Hanlon's waist be-
fore he lowered himself, in order that his
life might be saved in case he was rem
dered uncons scious by the fumes.
y Hanlon finally climbed over the edge
OF the receptacle and started TO lower him.
self. He had not proceeded more than a
few feet, however, before the gases in the
vat asphvxlated him and he threw up his
arms. This allowed his body TO slip
through the loop and fall to the bottom.
No one could enter the tank to attenl pt
to rescue him until several minutes had
elapsed to allow the pent-up gases to es-
cape. Then another workman was let
down with rope il the same manner.
he fastened rope around the body and
it was lifted up.
When O'Hanlon fell no sound escaped
him, and it is believed that he died as
soon as he struck the bottom. The unfor-
tunate man was about 10 years old and
lived on Napa street. The body was re-

SWOOP OF THE
RAILROAD MEN
They Are Now Doing the
Southern Part of
the State.
Will Meet in Grand Conc!av
at Monterey On Tues
day Next.
All Travelling in the State to Be Done
by Daylight for Better
0bser vation.

California's beauties and advan tages are
now being enjoyed by the host of South
ern Pacific traffic officials and commercial
agents, who were invited some time ago,
at the suggestion of President Hunting
ton, to gather in business and social in
tercourse at Monterey. They came from
all parts of the United States and from
Europe.
The contingent from east of the Mis-
souri, River left New Orleans last Monday
nigh. and picked up the Texas men en-
route. At Los Angeles their number was
part of the State.
All their travelling is done by dayligh t
as one of the principal objects of the
unique gathering is 10 make every man
connected with the traffic department of
the Southern Pacific Company familiar
with this part of the country, so that he
may be the better able to induce the in
coming of home builders and investors.
The entire party of invaders arrived at
Redlands last night, where 1t was met by
Messrs. Smurr, Goodman, Luce, Donald
son, Horsburg and Fletcher from this City.
To-day and tom orrow will be spent in
doing Redlands. Riverside, Covina, Pasa-
dena. Los Angeles, Santa Monica, San
feorO, Santa ana, Santa Barbara and
Fresno, and the various branch lines that
connect these points. They will leave
Fresno Monday morning and make direct
for Monterey, arriving there some time
during the afternoon. Stockton will be
the only point visited during the trip up
from Fresno.
Business matters will receive attention
on Tuesday, and three or four days will be
devoted to the interchange of ideas, and
the discussion o. questions looking TO the
i'm provement of the traffic service in detail
and as a whole. 1t is understood that
President Huntington and Messrs. CrocKer
and Hubbard will take run down from
this City to exchange greetings with their
| fishers of business. On Monday Traffic
Manager J. c. Stubs will make the trim
to Monterey, and take an active part in
the proceedings. Many of the agents OF
the company have never had the pleasure
of NEE ting the president OF the company,
its principal officials, or one another, so
that this occasion will be one of unusual
interest, in view of the many new friend
ships that will be undoubtedly begun.
Before this great human network i.
again spread throughout the country, the
men will take day for seeing the sights
of San Francisco. They will return over
the central route. Mr.. Hitchcock, the
local passenger agent of the Union Pacific,
yesterday called on Mr.. Stubbs, and on
behalf Of his road extended to the visiting
