ANOTHER OUTBREAK IN CRETE
Reorganizing British Army-South
Dakota Senatorship-AngIo-
American Treaty.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-Senor Palma,
head of the Cuban junta in this city,
was asked today if the insurgents
would lay down their arms upon the
PRONUNCIATION Of the plan of reforms for
the administration of Cuba. He de-
clined to answer categorically, but
said:
Had genuine autonomy instead of
sham reforms been offered to the peo-
pie of Cuba before they arose in arms
the Cubans would surely have accepted
it, and therefore bloodshed and total
devastation of the island would have
been averted. If the Cuban people did
not accept the sham reforms then, and
then arose in arms for independence,
how would they accept them now or
enter into any kind of compromise
which has not for its basis the abso-
lutte independence of the island? They
are sure of success, and one thing is
certain: that is, that the Cubans never
again will place their neck under the
Spanish yoke. They have proved so
far they are unable to conquer the
Spaniards and govern themselves.

Fire Works Destruction In Ancier
Hall

Fire Works Destruction In Ancient
Hall
HARRISBURG, Pa, Feb. 2.-The an
cient Capitol of Pennsylvania is in ruins.
Fire, starting in the rooms of Lieutenant
Governor Lyon this morning, destroyed
the building in an hour and half.
The Legislature was about to recon-
vene for the afternoon session when the
fire burst through the walls and the law
makers ran for their lives. Quite num-
Der of people were cut and bruised by
falling debris or half smothered by
smoke, no one was seriously hurt. The
most valuable of the State and legisla-
tive records which were in the building
were saved, but the records and statis-
tics of the Department of Public In
struction were destroyed. The Legisla-
ture viii find a temporary home ton1or-
row-the Senate in the rooms of the Su-
preme Court and the House in the United
States District Court. The Legislature
will at once take steps to have the Cap
itol rebuilt.
The total loss is estimated at nearly
81 100000, on which there is an insurance
of but 100000. The origin of the fire is
unknown.

NOT SENATOR HANNA.

Governor Bushnell VIII Refuse 10 APP
point Him.
COLUMBUS Ohio, Feb. 3.-The
friends of Mark Hanna admit today
that he will not be appointed by Gov
ernor Bushnell to the Senate to sue
coed Sherman. 1t is reliably reported
here that Governor Bushnell has de-
cided to appoint Lieutenant-Governo
Asa w. Jones of Youngstown to the
vacancy, and that this action is in ac-
cordance with the wishes of the For
aker leaders.
The agreement is said to be that
General Jones will not be candidate
for election to the full term This will
then give opportunity for battle be-
tween Bushnell and Hanna this winter
for election for the full term.
1t was stated here tonight on what is
considered reliable authority that J..
Addison Porter of Connecticut was to-
day offered the private secretaryship
60 President-elect Mckinley and has
accepted.

sumo his duties, though much of the
next few days will be devoted to max
ing acquaintance and seeing the city.
Mr.. Coleman is man of less than
30, of pleasing demeanor and address.
He was born at Bloomingdale, Indiana,
and his life has been spent in his native
State. Less than two years ago, he
graduated at Earlham College, and
later took special course at the Lake
Geneva training school. From there
he took charge of the Y NJ C. A. at
Marion, Indiana, from which place he
comes to Honolulu.
Besides being a practical and sue
cessful Christian worker, Mr.. Coleman
has considerable reputation as ply
steal director He has five beautiful
gold medals won in State athletic con-
tests. For three years he was on the
Earlham team at the State athletic
tournaments. In 1895 he held the re-
cord of the running broad jump, hay-
ing cleared 20 feet, 10 inches in one

At the same time Mr.. Coleman held
the record for the hop, step and jump
at A feet, IL inches. A mile run has
been made by him in five minutes. one
second. His pole-vaulting record is
nine feet, three inches Besides being
in enthusiast on outdoor sports, the
new secretary is leader in physical
culture. He is much pleased with the
local gyuasium, and adds that it is one
of the best equipped for its size that
he has ever seen. Great success in the
work is generally predicted for the new
secretary.
No radical changes in the plans for
work will for the present be made;
but some departures will be instituted
upon the selection of the new commit
tees in April. Mr.. Coleman believes
in work with faith, and will see that
all of his committeeman have some
thing to do. He is gratified to find in
the association so many active working
members; and feels that he has the
material with which to accomplish
much good.
Personally, Mr.. Coleman is quiet,
unassuming gentleman who will doubt
less wear we'll" He bears the repu-
tation of improving with acquaintance
and being able to hold his friends. He
comes of family who are devoted
disciples of the Society of Friends, an
order to which the new Secretary him
self belongs.

Uses Plain Language IN hepiyinR TO
Chamberlain.
PRETORIA, South Africa, Feb. g.
President Kruger was interviewed to-
day on the subject of the speech of Jo-
seph Chamberlain, Secretary of State for
the Colonies, in the House of Commons
of Friday, during which Chamberlain
said, among other things, that there had
been revival of unrest in South Africa;
that recently legislation of the Trans
vaal Republic was partly contrary TO the
convention of London, and that President
Kruger had not kept his promise to give
full and favorable consideration of the
grievances of the Uitlanders.
Kruger is quoted as saying: Il
strongly disapprove of intermixing the
so-called Uitlander grievances with the
Chartered Company's freebooting inva-
sion of the Transvaal. The latter ad-
mits of no embarrassing, and no local
causes justified such a criminal raid. l
have always used, and am still using,
all my influence to diminish race hat

side are adding fuel to the fire.

milton from the Pope, and the prominence
lately obtained by its Metropolitan gives
stronger credence to the report.

GEORGE B. ROBERTS DEAD.
PRESIDENT OF THE PENNSYLVANIA
RAILROAD EXPIRES AFTER A LONG
ILLNESS.

George B. Roberts, president of the
Pennsylvania railroad, died at 4.3o
Saturday. afternoon at his beautiful
mansion in Bala, Montgomery county,
ofgastro-intestinal trouble, from which
he had been confined to the house
continuously since August 20 last,
with the exception Of two days about
six weeks ago, when he was able to
be about. He had been to some ex-
tent an invalid during nearly the
entire period of his presidency of the
greatest railroad organization extant,
but was always, until last August,
able to attend to his arduous and
important duties, with a single ex-,
Ception.
Six years ago he was seriously i'll
for two or three weeks, with the same
malady that caused his death. But
he rallied from that attack, and this
announcement will be the first to tell
that he was ever so seriously sick be-
fore, for his condition was then guard
ed as secret of the greatest value.
His last illness took a serious turn
about the middle oflast August, while
he was at North East Harbor, Me.
Hurrying home, he was so fortunate
as to meet at Boston DIR. J. w. Lodge,
of Bala, his own family physician.
Since the arrival home on August 23
Mr.. Roberts has been a confirmed
invalid, but his malady has dehed the
best efforts of science.

perennial rumors that President Rob
erts was about to resign, and that this,
