MYSTERY OF A SKELETON.
Ghasty Discovery Made BY Workmen II
an Underground Passogeway at
81 .I0hn


ST. JOHN, N. b., May 1s.-This city
has profound mystery on its hands,
which from present indications will never
be explained.
Workmen while excavating on the prop
erty occupied by the Thorne warehouse,
which has been taken by the ST. John
Street-railway Company, came upon
secret subterranean passageway In the
roca.
The workmen, while removing part OF
the debris in the passageway to satisfy
their curiosity. found skeleton OF man.
The passageway is about six feet wide and
encased with wood. 1t runs long dis
tance in southerly direction and is
twelve feet below the su face OF the street.
The skeleton was found in the midst OF a
quantity of lime The teeth wer, black
ened with age and some Of the bones had
succumbed TO the devourng influences OF
the lime. The heshy tissues were en-
tirely gone and the remains bore evidence
OF having been placed there years before.
The city officials say that the passage
way is not an old sewer and that 1t never
could have been used as one. 1t was con-
structed by private individuals for some
secret purpose. II is said that at this point
100 years ago, and less, smugglers piled a
busy trade, and many a cask OF rum and
bale of silk was mysteriousIy brought in
past the customs officials. Many believe
that this structure was an important fac
tor in the evasion OF customs officials.

luctant to take up the sugar scandals
This is so apparent that TilIman sees his
opportunity and is preparing 10 pitch In
viciously as soon as the Cuban debate
ceases to monopolize the Senate's atten-
tion.
Tillman is ready to cause whole lot OF
trouble. He is going to comment on the
fact that stories are being freely circu-
lated about Senators dabbling in sugar
stocks now, despite the fact that Have
meyer and Searles are to come up for
trial.
Meanwhile Broker Elverton K. Chap
man is in Jail in Washington for refusing
to answer questions which were asked
him nearly three years ago.
The President is reported to be in great
distress over the situation. A majority of
the directly affected Senators and many
others have asked for the pardon; the
powerful sugar interest is working for the
brokers' discharge; many prominent men
above suspicion are expressing sympathy
with him, and the argument is used that
Judge Cole in sentencing him imposed
the minimum penalty, as Chapman re-
fused to answer questions on the advice of
his counsel that he had legal right to
d o so.
What the President will do is still un-
certain.

He Hiu Offer the Friendly Offices of the
United States.
NEW YORK, N. Y, May 1s.-The
Herald's Washington special auoles a
prominent Senator very close to the
President as outlining the Cuban policy
thus:
The first step of the President is to
afford immediate relief for American citi-
zens in the manner indicated in the mes
sage yesterday. Next will be tender of
the good offices OF the United States to
bring the war to an end through the
medium of diplomatic negotiations.
This step will be taken when Special
Commissioner Calhoun has made a re port
on the exact situation. The President
expects Calhoun will substanti all that
Lee and other consular officers have sal
regarding the deplorable condition OF
affairs and the inability of Spain to crush
the rebellion.
This report, coupled with the petition
received to-day from many prominent
business men whose interests have been
seriously affected, will furnish the basis
for an exhaustive note to be sent to the
Madrid Government. 1t will be friendly
in tone, but firm in its insistence that the
war shall be brought to close. 1t will
make formal tender of the good offices
of the United States with this end in
view.
IF the mediation of the United States
is accepted the President will suggest thai
the independence of the island be brough
about through purchase. If this is re-
fused the President will adopt some plan
for more active Intervention. The Presi :
dent does not now favor the belligerency
resolution. Developments in the island
may cause him to change his mind, but
he finds nothing in the existing situation
which would warrant such action"

OTTAWA, ONT, May 17.-Senator David

speeting the defenseless condition of the
Canadian coast cities, with the exceptio n
of Halifax and Victoria. He thinks neither
the Government nor the country fully
COM mprehends the critical situation OF the

tance to provide for adequate coast defense
than to spend vast sums of money on a
railway through Crows Nest Pass. or a
fast Atlantic steamship service. He says:
'"The seaboard towns should be placed
in position to resist any attempt to seize
them by surprise and to prevent an inva-
der from even tenn porarily occupying them
for the purpose of Ievying tribute"

NEW QUARANTINE OFFICER.
Passed Assistant Surgeon NJ j. Rosenau
Is Detailed for Service at
This Porf

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 1s.-With
the approval of the President, Passed AS
sistant Surgeon NJ. J. Rosenau. Of the
Marine Hospital service has been detaile
for duty as Quarantine Officer at San
Francisco to enforce the rules and reguia-
tions promulgated by the Secretary of the
Treasury. 1t is stated at the department
that the quarantine regulations OF the
treasury, as well as the local regulations,
have been repeatedly violated by the
local officer; that the local authorities
made no provision for the necessary dis
infection of vessels and personal apparel,
nor the isolation and treatment OF the
afflicted, and the local officer otherwise
had SHOWN himself incompetent This
action of the President is taken at the
solicitation of the State Legislature of
California, the Chamber of Com merce of
San Francisco and the Board of Health.
DR.. NJ. ]. Rosenau, who is stationed at
Angel Island, had not received any otti-
cial information last evening of the orders
from Washington. It is probable that the
City Board of Health will still maintain
DR.. Chalmers in his position as local
quarantine officer. When the Legislature
sou ht to abolish his office the San Fran
cisco Board OF Health resisted the
meas ufc.
Some time ago the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company was advised by the Treas
ury Department that the company ships
would not be permitted to enter at the
Custom house in this City unless the bills
of health were approved by the Federal
Quarantine Officer. The health authori-
ties of the City, OF course. would be power
less to dock q steamer in opposition TO the
Federal authority. but it is contended that
.he local board could refuse landing to a
ship that had been duly passed by the
United States officer.
There would be conflict should the
local board attempt to establish a more
rigid government than the United States
Government exacted. Physicians who
have studied the subject take the view th at
the United States authority will not be
questioned. Dr. Chalmers may be per-
mitted to advise, but the orders of the
United States officer will be obeyed.
