HIS IopE FoR cUBA EXPLAINED.
Freeman H. jackson, AN Insurance Broker
q Defaulter.

Foxcroft, Me, March 22.-Freeman Fl.
Jackson, an insurance broker, who left
for Cuba to join the insurgents some
weeks ago, was not actuated by brav-
cry as much as a desire to escape jus
tice, for he has been proved defaulter
to the amount of 400 Last August
the building of Mrs, Rose A. Peters,
Henderson, Me-, boarding house keeper,
was burned under suspicious circum-
stances. 1t was insured in the Etna,
Caledonian Fire association, the Phila-
delphia, North American, through jack
sons agency. The adjusters not fining
sufficient evidence of incendiarism as
sessed $2,400 damage which amount
Jackson took in drafts, to Henderson,
where Mrs. Peters signed the receipts.
After much persuasion Mrs. Peters
gave Jackson the money, as she sup
posed to deposit in the bank at Dover,
after he had paid trustees on the prop
erty amounting to nearly $500. Jack
sons books show about 81 400 still due,
and Mrs. Peters claims S1,600. When
Mrs. Peters heard that Jackson had
gone to Cuba she became anxious and
consulted an attorney at Dover, J. B..
feakS, VINO consulted county Attorney
Hayes.
They decided to request Governor
Powers to apply for extradiition from
the governor of Florida, where Jackson
was last heard from. 1t is doubtful if
he is there, as his agent here wrote
him there, but the letter was returned
unopened. 1t is reported that Jackson
lost money gambling and it is supposed
the money embezzled went to pay
gambling debts. On his way to Cuba
Jackson visited relatives in Portland
and Boston, endeavoring to procure
money presumably to pay the amount
embezzled His Office furniture has
been attached to answer small debts.
Jackson left wife and two children,
who are now in Portland.

SENATE ON THE PEACE TREATY.
Several Amendments Materially Revising
1t Agreed To.

Washington, March 22.-The senate
remained in executive session to-day
almost five hours, during which time
good progress was made with the gen
eral treaty of arbitration between the
United States and Great Britain. All
of the important committee amend
ments We're agreed to without division.
These amendments provide that all
questions proposed to be submitted for
arbitration. shall first be approved by
the president and then submitted to the
senate for it's approval or disapproval;
substitutes "jurists of repute'' in that
part of the convention where it is pro-
vided that the members of the tribunal
shall be members of the supreme or cir
cult courts of the United States; and
rejects entirely the tenth article which
designated King Oscar of Sweden and
Norway as the umpire.
No set speeches were delivered, but
several short and clear statements were
made by Senators Davis, Hoar, Chand-
Ter and Lodge and remarks in opposi-
tion to the treaty as g. whole by Sen
ators Morgan and Stewart. Senator
Morgan offered an amendment eiini-
mating the Nicaraguan canal from the
terms of the treaty, but this was voted
down viva voce, the senate believing
that this had been cared for in the
committee amendments
When the senate adjourned Mr. Nor
gan had the floor on the Chiffon amend
ment, and will speak tomorrow.
Senator Davis hopes to have the final
vote taken this week and he believes
the treaty will be ratified as amended
by his committee.

LAST GOUNOD REHEARSAL.
Large Number of Spectators Present
Great Interest Displayed.

q
The Gounod society held its last pub
lie rehearsal at Harmonic hall last eve
ming Everything went we'll, and the
greatest enthusiasm was displayed
throughout the evening. The chorus
has never put so much fire into its
singing as was heard last night. The
great battle-chorus, "Lo, the Spirit Of
the Lord was stunning in it's effect.
1t is sure to find great favor with the
audience And what Is true of this
chorus is true of them all.
There We're a large number of specta-
tors present--something like seventy or
eighty people-and they We're quite as
enthusiastic as the chorus themselves.
Mr. Agramonte's sarcasms and witt
cisms at the expense of the chorus We're
especially enjoyed by the spectators,
Mr.. Agramonte gave directions for ris-
ing and sitting, and had the chorus
mark the places carefully in their
books. He said that these directions
were not his own, but Saint-Saens', and
they would therefore be carrying out
the composers own idea. The cues are
very difficult, both for the soloists and
the chorus. But they will be thorough
ly understood after the orchestral re-
hearsal.
Mr.. Agramonte told the chorus that
the orchestration of the work would be
a revelation. Such marvellous use of
color effects and such tonal variety and
eXpressiveness! He is very enthusias-
tic over Miss Stein. He says she COM
prehends the. character perfectly. She
can express the wicked as well as the
amorous side of Delilah's character He
says that Miss Stein and Berthald will
make "a grand furore" with their great
duet.
The soloists, orchestra and full chorus
will rehearse at 2 O'Clock Wednesday
afternoon. The rehearsal will be strict
ly private Miss Stein and MIR. Wither-
spoon will come in the morning from
New York. Mr.. Berthald comes from
Boston, where he is singing ''Siegfried''
with Madame Nordica the night before
Mr. Meyn will come from Waterbury,
where he is singing the night before
Mr. Meyn is one of the busiest artists
of the season. He has engagements
every night this week. The night fol-
lowing his engagement here he sings in
Lakewood. Mr.. Wftherspoon sings on
Friday afternoon and Saturday even
ing with the New York Oratorio society
in the Elijah" under Walter Dam
rosch's direction.
All persons intending to go to the per
formance should secure their seats in
advance. There will be a large demand
for tickets by out-of-town people on the
evening of the concert, and people here
in town should not wait until that time
before choosing. Some seats in the or
chestra have been placed on sale at one
dollar each to satisfy the demand for
tickets at this price.

A CHASTITY FIND All SEA
IN OPEN BOAT PICKED UP CON-
T4INING SIX BODIES. ....

Found Drifting in the Gulf stream-occu-
pants Evidently Drowned by Waves
Washing Over Them-Supply of Food
Not Exhausted-May Have Been on the
1l-Fated st. Nazaire.
New York, March 22.--The steamship
Creole, which arrived to-day reports
that on March q, in lat. 36.17, long.
743O, she passed long boat full of
water. She hooked on to her bow, and
six bodies were washed overheard as
the boat was pulled toward the steamer.
The officers of the Creole believe that
this is another of the i'll fated steamer
ST NazaireS boats.
The Creole was seventy five miles
northeast of Hatteras at 10 O'Clock on
Sunday morning. Two hours before
she had passed the upper part OF
steamships deckhouse afloat. About a
mile off the starboard bow and on the
western edge of the gulf stream Cap
tain eager saw what he supposed was
piece of wreckage. The Creole moved
near The sun glistened on the object
and the captain made it out to be a
lifeboat with the waves ripping over
the gunwaIes. She was flush with the
seas surface. The Creole came about,
running down on the lifeboat until the
latter was under the steamers bows.
A bowline was strung over the Gre
oles port bow and Second officer Bar
rett was sent down with tackle. He got
the hook in the big iron eye at the
stern of the boat, but only after tramp
ling on some CHASTITY dead bodies that
washed out under the thwarts,
'Heave away there" shouted Barrett
to the seamen above.
The windlass creaked and the life
boats stern rose out of the water.
From the other end Of the boat dark
object moved. 1t fioated on the water
an instant, and then with wide-open
eyes staring straight upward disap-
peared. 1t was the body of a French
seaman. 1t was quickly followed by
five others. Two of the unfortunates
were negroes. One caught in the amid
ship thwarts and stuck there. Bar
retts foot disentangled it and it dis
appeared beneath the water with the
others.
The eight odd passengers on the Gre
ole turned in horror from the sight.
Following the bodies into the sea
went a number of loaves of bread. They
were intact. A quantity of ships bis
cult, which the water had not disinte-
grated, several packages evidently con-
tanning provisions and several bottles
corl1ed full of liquid also went over
board together with a number of
| blouses, several pairs of heavy French
shoes, such as are worn by sailors, and
other clothing. The lifeboat was then
hoisted to the Creole's deck. There
We're no sails or oars In the boat, but
the steel oarlocks Were there. Captain
eager said that he thought the occu-
pants of the lifeboat had been drowned
by waves washing over them. The
temperature of the water taken a few
hours before the lifeboat was sighted
| was 4S degrees, not cold enough to
| freeze a person to death.
