Weyler has asserted the reports OF
famine in Cuba among countrymen con-
centrated in towns by his orders are abso-
lutely false. These country folk, he says,
are better treated and in better condition
than the Spanish soldiers themselves.
Notwithstanding this statement famine is
causing the severest distress from Santa

TAMPA, FLA, April 25.-A passenger
from Havana who arrived to-day says he
learned just before leaving that Ora Mel
ton, the American captured with the crew
OF the Competitor year ago, will be re-
leased from Csbanas prison Monday. The
report comes from Spanish officials of
high standing, who say that Weyler re.
ceived orders to release Melton. on con-
dition he leaves the island forever.
From the same source it is learned that
Jose Fernandez and 6. Aguirre, who have
been in Cabanas prison several months,
will be released in few days through the
efforts OF Consul-General Lee.
During the past week another expedi-
ton, believed to be from the steamer Ber-
muda has been landed on the Matanzas
side of Guanabacoa.
Thomas G. Alvord, a correspondent,
just returned from Havana, reports the
Spanish army being deported at the rate
of 500 men per week and that the Govern
ment now owes the army 5000, 600
81, 000. 600 will have to be raised by June
to pay interest on the war debt. 1t is be-
lieved the Government, because of the
GIaco-Iurkish war, will be unable TO bor-
row money from the powers. and this is
the reason for Withdrawing the troops.

AID FOR The GREEKS.
Julia Ward Howe Says the Women
of Massachusetts VIII Make
Contributions,

BOSTON, Mass, April 25.-"I quite
dread taking up the newspapers in the
morning now. / feel perfectly sure that
the Greeks ought to succeed" said Julia
Ward Howe to-day, "but it does seem that
the odds against them are almost per-
fectly insurmountabie. But then the
Turkish Government may not be so
strong as imagined. l know that the
Greeks are desperate fighters. l think it
very extraordinary what the Greeks have
been able to do SO far, very extraordinary.
l don't think they could have helped
going to war. People who talk about
autonomy for Crete don't know how tn e
Turks do such things. If autonomy were
accepted affairs would soon be back again
as they were before.
"1t is a very wonderful fight that the
Greeks have so far been able to make, ana
/ believe that their situation will be ulti-
mately improved by it. Our own civil
war was no easy victory. 1t was an awful
fight. For months and years no one Snew
how it was coming out. ! feel that way
about Greece. Greece is right and is
bound TO stand as she does. The war is
interesting to US as members OF Christen-
dom. 1t seems incredible that the powers
should allow such war as this TO con-
tinue. Il some one had come to us before
this war and said that they would permit
it we would have said that it was i'm possi-
BILE. I remembe that the late General
Walker VIXEN talking with me right in
this room, said: The great Western
powers can't be low enough to try to i'm.
pede the action of Greece in an effort to
secure freedom for Cretes.' I have great
faith that they may conquer. I know
that they ought to.
at is very curious that in their previous
war it was help from America which
caused its consummation. So l think
that if we could only help them for
time there may come some thing not now
anticipated which may give them sue
cess. Among The women here there is
surely something that will enable the
women of Massachusetts to answer the
appeal OF the women of Greece. I have
already got something for their aid and
hope to get more. think that the meet
ing will be held next week. Quite sum
of money has already teen telegraphed
abroad by the committee here, and they
have more, which may be sent or they
may decide to send a vessel"

Denouncss the Ex- Presidents Aspersfons
on KcKniey IN His Reform
Club SDeech

NEW YORK, n. Y. April 25. William
]. Bryan. in a signed telegram to the
Journal, severely criticizes Cleveland's
Reform Club speech. After denouncing
the ex-Presldent's aspersions onlMckinley
as unfair, be continues:
Mckinley won political fame as the
apostle of high tariff and during the late
campaign he reiterated his devotion to
this policy. Those Democrats who voted
for Mckinley voted with their eyes open.
Neither have those Democrats reason
to complain OF McKinley's attitude
on the money question. Unless the gold
Democrats were in possession of assurances
not given 10 the public generally, they
ought to be satisfied with his fnan-
ciai policy. He promised to main tain the
gold standard until relief comes from
abroad, and he IS doing it, despite the
continued distress caused by such q
policy.
"The important part Of Cleveland's ad.
dress, however, is found in his declaration
of war against those who supported the
Chicago ticket. In this he has given more
aid to his opponents than TO his support
ers-just as he did by his official acts.
His surrender of the executive branch of
the Government into the hands OF Wall
street during the last administration did
more than any other thing to arouse the
American people to knowledge OF the
1niquity of the gold standard. His thinly
disguised support of the Republican
ticket in the last campaign did much to
drive silver Republicans out of the Repub-
lican party, and their loyalty to bimetal-
Hsm has not been shaken by defeat.
"1n his address of Saturday he aided
the silver cause still further by removing
whatever danger there Nigh: have been
of concessions from the regular Democrats
to the boilers. The gold Democracy is
i'm potent to bring any relief to the coun-
try; it is long on platitudes and short on
performance; it reaches its maximum at
a banquet and its minimum at the polls !;
it is the toy of those financiers who prate
about National honor while they fatten on
the Nations extremity, and it is power
less to protect the people from the extor-
ton of trusts and the greed of unrestrained

Association, was the last to give his

The start was made in front OF the
Courthouse in this city. The men went
on 10 fine start and the pace on the hrst
relay, ten miles, was hot one. The men
from Sacramento soon demonstrated that
they wer. the better riders and were well
ahead when the first relay was ended. The
Stockton Road Club set the Capital City
men hot pace and were only minutes
and y seconds behind on the race.
The great fight was between the Stock
ton Road Club and the Terminal City
Wheelmen. and the latter organization
has entered protest at being put in third
place, claiming that A. Bonzi OF the Road
Club deliberately fouled Barnes OF the
Terminal CitYs. Barnes wheel was

SHERMAN MAY RETIRE.
Circumstances Pointing to the Mental
and Physical Collapse of the Sec
retary of State.

NEW YORK. n. Y, April pa Times
Washington dispatch says: Judge Days
selection as Assistant Secretary of State
is believed to mean Sherman's early re-
tirement ami Days promotion to the
premiership. The correspondent reiter-
ates the old charg that Sherman's fail
ing memory renders him unfit for the
post and declares that this has been de-
monstrated since his Induction into Office.
The dispatch continues:
''Shermans health is precarious He
has several times been detained at home
when he ought to have been in is Office
busily engaged. The symptoms of COL
lapse have not been absent. So delicate
has been his condition that he has done
little more since he took office than at
tend TO personal and unimportant official
matters. 1t has been a subject of remark
about the department that business has
come to < stop, and the condition of the
Secretary has been referred TO as causing
the apparent stagnation.
Judge Day is surprised at the change
OF programme for him. He probably
knows now why the change is made, but
there has been great delicacy at the Waite
House about explaining how suddenly it
became necessary to keep him at home
instead of sending him TO Cuba. He had
purchased sleeping-car tickets for Tampa
and was arranging to leave tonight when
informed for the first time that he was to
be made Assistant Secretary.
Here in Washington there would be
no surprise at the resi- nation of Sherman
at any time. Day would then be ready to
move into the higher place at moments
warning, and that warning the admins
tration is prepared to give almost any
time. In the meantime he will take
charge OF all the important business be-
fore the department.
Although there is some talk about the
Presidents desire to conduct the depart
ment more in accordance with his own
views than he believes Sherman would
conduct it, it is understood that the un-
easiness of the President is not on account
OF any departure from the policy he had
marked out, but rather on account of his
con Germ lest the i'll health and increasing
infrmity of the Secretary would render
him incapable of carrying out any policy

LOS ANGELES. CAL. April 25.-Not-

his last will and testament that Klamath

that the "little bay demon" may again

in Santa Ana that the horse has already

Mr.. Judd could not be seen to-day, but
the fact that the horse has been entered

is the intention of his owner to race him.
