Washington electrified the Baltimore
Methodist conference today. with his
expressions of sympathy for Cuba and
Crete. He is not a member of the con-
ference. but dropped in for visit and
was introduced to the audience by the
presiding. bishop. In a general talk,
Bishop Hurst referred to mission work
in Cuba, and said he hoped the island
would soon be free. The sentiment was
heartily applauded and the bishop,
thus encouraged, added: When Cuba
is free and Crete is Greek and Turkey
is dead. we want to take one who day
to sing the doxology."
The applause was renewed with
hearty amens and the Rev. B. F.
Clarkson offered the following resolu-
ton:
Resolved, BY the Baltimore annual
conference, in convention assembled,
that the people of Cuba have our
hearty sympathy in their heroic strug-
gle for Independence.
The resolution was amended so as to
include Crete, and adopted with a

Costumes For the sluggers.

Chicago. March 6.-Trunks for Cor
bett and F'itzsimmons, to be worn in
the worlds championship battle at
Carson City. New, St. Patricks day,
were shipped yesterday by Charles
Essig. These are the last installment
of the costumes and fighting outfit
that has been supplied the principals
since they took quarters near the
scene of the fight.
In texture and size the trunks are
exactly the same. They are made of
finely woven, elastic material, and ex-
tend several inches down the leg.
Heretofore in his different fights the
Cornishman has used the V-shaped
trunl1s-that is, practically the same
as the swimming tights.
Corbett's belt will be covered by a
silk American flag with fringes of Irish
green above and below FitZsimmons
will have the national colors around
his girth alone, refusing to satisfy the
requests of Anglo maniacs, who want
ed him to make up for the English
flag. The trunks were examined by
local lights and pronounced fit to sat
isfy even such fastidious men as Cor
bett and FitZSimmonS.

Carson, New, March cit required
but a trifing stretch of the magma
ton to make eastern visitors believe
that they were camping out when they
awoke this morning.
Window sills were banked high with
snow, and without great flakes as
large as Carson messenger boys were
scattering everything with a soggy
splash. a coating of slush and snow
obscured the sidewalks, and the high
ways We're angle deep in mud.
Chief Dave of the PiuteS, who made
a friendly call on Chiefs Corbett and
Fitzsimmons today, informed the pugil-
lists that they need hardly expect good
roads for their morning constitutions
ais hereafter. Dave is of the opinion,
| however, that March II will be clear
and warm, and that the fighting
bucks" may battle in war paint with
out discomfort.
The big fellows were not worrying
over the capricious elements as much
as might be supposed Their present
perfect condition accounts for this
feeling of contentment. Both of them
know that they are fit now, and only
require enough work to keep their
joints from stiffening.
The Australian fretted about the
house this morning for three hours be-
fore he decided to venture out. He
then tailed on behind a fast horse and
buggy and hoofed into Carson, weigh
ing himself down with a coat of mud
every step. Hurrying back, he set all
hands to work boarding up the interior
OF his gymnasium, thus converting it
into a small handball court. This done
he produced a set of tennis balls and
shUifieG around the little room and
gave Roeber a few points in Corbett's
favorite game. When he had worked
up a little perspiration, Bob turned to
Z new punching bag and whacked the
stitches from two seams before the end
OF y minutes. After this the regula-
ton amount of boxing and wrestling
followed, concluded with vigorous rub
down.
IF this snow keeps up. I'll show
some of these Holsters how to play
handbau,'" declared Corbett after
breakfast today. 81 Hampton and
def and everybody adjourned to the
ball court. The champion did not
make good his threat, but he kept both
Of his opponents on the move to win.
Without stopping TO rest or showing
the slightest trace OF fatigue, Jim called
out his sparring partners and took
each of them on for four rounds. They
worked hard, out could not even make
him puff. After a hard days work
Jim waltzed around the court and
slugged at an imaginary opponent,
while his rub down was being pre-
pared.
There is no indication of a break
in the storm tonight. The snow is
eight inches deep on the level, and still
falls heavily. Carpenters employed on

the end of the week.

He Leaves Over One Thousand Span
iards Dead on the Field.

New York. March IA special to the
Sun from Manzanillo. Feb. Is, via Ha-
vana, says:
The Spanish column of General Vara
Del Rey. 1900 men strong, was defeated
and dispersed two days ago by the Cuban
forces under command of General Calixto
Garcia. More than 1000 SDaniards were
left dead on the estate Costamada and
the remaining part of the column entered
ManZanillo in the greatest disorder, prov
ing how serious the defeat was.
In spite of the art of snatching victory
from defeat, in which the Spanish official
reports so greatly excel, General Vara
Del Rey is obliged to confess his dis
aster. though finding an excuse in the
superior number of the Cubans, and the
advantage of their position. In his report
it is known at Manzanilla- though proba-
biz Il will not be published in Havana,
he says that his column was only 1900
men strong. and he estimates the Cubans
at over 5000. The Spanish dead. he says,
were 500. and he adds that notwithstand-
ing he was obliged to retire, the losses of
the Insurgents were also severe.
The battle turned against the Spaniards
when General Vara Del Rey tried to cross
on his way TO ManZanillo the river Buey,
the heavy fire from the
Cuban rifles and two cannon-one IL
FOUNDER which caused terrible slaughter.
While crossing the river. all was dis
order and confusion among the Spaniards
and they could not reply TO the volleys of
their foes. Nearly ali their horses were
drowned. and they had to abandon the
more important part of the convoy they
were escorting. A small bridge of wood
of whic.. they awaited themselves broke
down, and with 1t one Spanish cannon
sark to the bottom of the river. Other
cannon were left on the shore and were
capti-ed by the Cubans. On the other
side of the river, General Vara Del Rey
found another Cuban column waiting for
him. In the state of panic and confusion
to which his troops had been reduced.
the Cubans could easily complete the vic
tory.
Vara Del Rey himself narrowly escaped
being captured. and he owes his salvation

Guests of Honor.

New York, March General San
gully and his family were the guests
of honor tonight at the entertainment
given in aid of the Cuban hospital
fund at the Carnegie Lyceuns- He was
too fatigued to speak in answer 60 fre-
Quent and enthusiastic cabs, but had
to shake hands with nearly 1000 per-
sons before the audience would let
the performance proceed.
The incident of the evening was the
meeting of General Sanguilly and Cen
eraI Daniel Z. Sickels, in the latter's
box. When the veterans shook hands
the audience cheered for Sanguilly, Cen
eral SickelS and Consul-Genera1 Lee,
and the performance was again stopped
until the enthusiasm subsidized The
entertainment was a success m every
way.

protest from s.. Uchida. Japanese con-
sui in New York, against the boycott

New York, March 6.-GeneraI Julio
Sanguilly, who was released recently
by the Spaniards after two years in
the Cabanas fortress at Havana, ar
rived in this city at o'clock this af-
Fternoon- He was met in Jersey City
by 200 Cuban sympathizers, among
whom was his brother, Manuel San
gully, and Mrs. General Calixto Gar
cha, wife of the famous Cuban general
Sanguilly was accompanied by his
wife. his son ana a niece, who came
with him from Havana
Mingled with the cheers for Cuba
Libre and General Sanguilly," were
hurrahs for General F'ftzhugh Lee.
Before proceeding up town, General
SanSullly, in answer to questions, said
to the reporters:
L can hardly realize that L am free
and within arms reach of my friends
and relatives. Two years is a long
time in the Cabanas, and to breathe
the free air again and grasp the hands
OF old time friends is a boon which at
one time / never thought would Gene
to me. To that brave soldier, Fitz-
hugh Lee, and to the American people,
it would be impossible for me to ex-
press my gratitude NV life belongs
After months of stone walls and
Spanish guards, there seems TO be a.
new hope and new life in everything L
feel or hear or see.'
rs it true that you have given I'D
your claim as an American citizen
against the crown of Spain as one of
the conditions upon which you were
released
There is not the slightest truth in
such a statement" he replied II
would not give up the honor of being
an American citizen for all Spain. I
know too we'll what it means to be
under the protection of the American
flag. 1t is too dear a thing TO re-
nounce, even where ones life is con-
cerned.''
Regarding the Cuban cause. do you
believe the Cubans will eventually. tri-
umph?"
Absolutely" he replied. I'm my
mind, Cuba will be free within year.
All we want and all we need is for the
United States government to permit us
to land arms and ammunition on the
shores of Cuba, AS soon as that is
granted, Spain's sovereignty Will cease
and Cuba will see her way clear to alb
solute independence.
When asked what the Cubans thought
of the attitude of ex-President Cleve-
land on the Cuban question, he said:
They, OF course, do not indorse the
presidents attitude 1 have recently
met many who express great hope
that the new administration win deal
indulgently with the Cuban republic
They have a government and they
have shown beyond a doubt that they
are able to cope successfully with the
Spaniards- That should give US right
as a government, and we expect Presi-
dent Mckinley to do that which ex-
President Cleveland failed to do-give
the Cubans belligereut rights"
