WHEEL MEMS MEETING.
CANDIDATES PREPARING FOR
ToDAY'S SESSION.
Potter Running Against Elliott of
Goldbug Fame, and Should Beat
Him-Good Roads the Battle Cry
Still.

Albany, n. Y, Feb. 9.-L. B. Potter
and Sterling Elliott, candidates for ma
tional president of the L. A. w, are
both in the city
The assembly will be opened Wednes-
day morning at 10 o'clock Governor
Black viii make the opening address
and Lieutenant-G Governor Woodruff,
Speaker O'Grady and several promi-
nent workers in the cause will make
speeches. The real session of the
league begins Thursday morning, and
will last until Friday afternoon. The
good roads banquet will be held at
the Stanwix House Thursday night.
Governor Black, Lieutenant-Governo
Woodruff and Speaker O'Grady will be
among the guests. Mr.. Potter gives out
the following statement in regard to
his campaign:
THE work so far has been done by
my friends, and 1 cannot say definitely
what my prospects are. l have had
assurances from them today that the
situation is all right. We have had a
large number of letters from western
delegates expressing a strong senti-
ment that western man should be
elected first president, and that
there is a disposition among them to
get together to name man as their
candldate Tor that once.
e. S. Hartwell of Denver will prob
ably receive the support of the New
York delegates for the Office of treas
urer. unless ne decides otherwise. Con-
molly of Illinois and Morrison of Wis
consin are highly esteemed by the New
York delegation, but it would be pre-
sumptuous on the part of New York
to select a western man for this i'm
portant place.
L have made no pledges and no
promises but in case of the success
of nv ticket I have a clearly defined
policy and will pursue it with as much
zeal and vigor as has been shown in
building up the New York division. 1t
is generally conceded that Mr.. Gideon
Will succeed himself as chairman of the
racing board and that the position
should be a salaried one. 1 am in
formed by Mr.. Gideon that the, income
of his department last year exceeded
disbursements by about $4,000. That
sum may be very properly voted to the
efficient chairman, and have no doubt
that it will be.
THE great work for the league is
the good roads question. This work
can be put upon broad and effective
basis without expense to the league
There are many manufacturers and
dealers in the United States who have
pecuniary interests in the improve
ment to the public highways, and from
my recent conversation with the most
prominent of them 1 know that they
stand ready to contribute a substantial
sum to be expended by the league in
agitating this reform. They may sue
coed in beating me this time, but they
must remember that Potter has a good
deal of india rubber in his constitution
ana will meet them in New Jersey next
week F"

SPANISH SOLDIERS KILL WON
EN- AND OUTRAGE GIRLS.
All This Going on Under the Nose
of Uncle Sam, Who Is Reputed to
Be the Friend of the Oppressed
and the Protector of Virtue-How,
Indeed, Are the Mighty Fallen!

New York, Feb. "a Herald special
from Key West says:
Havana advices received here state
that a Spanish column has raided a
large insurgent hospital in the Cienaga
De Zapanta swamps in Matanzas.
There were % i'll and wounded SOL
diers in the hospital. and these it is
said were killed by the Spaniards. The
two physicians in charge succeeded in
escaping, but four nurses (women)
were made prisoners. The Spaniards
were guided TO the hospital by a
Cuban.
While returning from this raid the
Spaniards discovered a camp of pa
cificos just inside the swamp. This
camp was raided and every male Gu
ban, 80 in number, put to the sword.
In the camp wer eabout 20 women and
children. The Spanish seized the wom-
en-, but told them the children must be
abandoned. Three of the women re-
sisted and were shot.
The other women, at the point of the
bayonet, were forced to abandon their
little ones and march in front Of the
Spanish soldiers. The women were
sent to Havana on Friday, accused Of
being enemies of Spain, and were
placed in the prison set apart for wom-
en- of the town.
In Pinar Del Rio province four Gu
ban girls were arrested by the Span
iards, charged with aiding in the re-
cent dynamiting of trains. The girls
were found in an old hut near the rail-
way and close to the scene of a recent
wreck. They refused to give their
names, but said that their parents had
been murdered and their homes burned
by guerrillas, and that they fed to the
woods for safety. The girls claim TO
have been in the woods three months,
and say they have subsisted on game.
When captured,i each of the girls
was armed with a repeating rife and
hunting knife. They also had plenty
of cartridges. The Spaniards claim
dynamite was also found in the hut
occupied by the girls.
They were taken to Artemisa and
imprisoned. The Spaniards believe
they are daughters of the Cuban chief,
Zarraga, who is operating in Pinar
Del Rio.
The girls, it is alleged, have. been
subjected to indignities in an attempt
to force confession, and are confined
in cell with negroes

BLESS YOU, MY CHILDREN.
Governor Drake and Daughter Again
Reconciled.

Des Moines, Ia, Feb. 9.-Invitations
were issued for a large reception on
Feb. 70, at the Hotel Slavery, when
Governor Drake and daughter, Mrs.
Mary Drake Sturtivant, will entertain
the members of the legislature, state
officers and Des Moines society. Special
interest attaches from the fact that
since the elopement and marriage of
Miss Drake. the governors youngest
daughter, and the social hold of his
household, the relations between her
and her father have not been clear.
Stories have been afloat that the gov
ernor told his daughter he would have
nothing further to do with her, and
treated her cruelty. 1t is well known
he was disappointed at her marriage,
but the issuance of the invitations for
the coming event proves that recon-
Citation has been effected. 1t is, in
fact, the first announcement to the
public that the governor and his
daughter have entirely adjusted their
concerns since the romantic marriage
of the young lady. Mrs. Sturtivant Is
% years old, and in October was Sc
cretly married, in Denver, to George
Sturtivant, of Centerville. Ia, an old
school-mate. The marriage was kept
secret for over a month.
