FOR RELIEF OF cuBA.
officials Await a Report From Consul
General Lee.

Washington. May 26.-Assistant Sec
retary Day. who is charged with the
execution of the presidents wishes ie-
rpecting the Cuban relief measures has
had long interview with President
Mckinley at the White House
The conclusion was reached that, hav-
ilg advanced Consul General Lee funds
To meet all probable immediate necessi-
ties. there was no opportunity for the
adoption Of further steps until he had
been heard from. The consul general
IN turn is advising with his subordinate
consuls in Cuba preparatory TO recon-
mending TO the state department def
mite plan of action in the distribution
of relief
He has called a meeting at Havana
of all the United States consuls IN Gu
ba who can reach that capital conven-
lently for the purpose Of consultation.
These officers are expected to come with
all the facts and figures as to the extent
OF the relief demanded in their respec-
tive localities. and upon that basis a
pro rata distribution Of supplies and
money can be made.
The question Of sending forward sup
plies being again under consideration
here. General Sullivan, the commissary
give the benefit of his experience to the
state department officials in that line.
Realizing that. owing TO different eli
mate conditions the same ration that is
sufficient in the United States would
not do at all in Cuba, it was found
prudent to call upon General Lee for a
statement of the kind of food supplies
that would be most acceptable and
proper for the distressed Americans on
the island.
When his answer is returned. the
state department probablywill ask Gen
eral Sullivan to make the necessary
purchases through the well equipped
depots of the commissary department.
1t is felt that all the supplies necessa-
ry can be procured in New York at
short notice If the money at hand
about $40,0O0-does not suffice, as 1t is
feared it may not, then congress will
be called upon once more.

MURDER AND SUICIDE /
Bodies of a Brooklyn Man ana
His Son Found at Their Home.
BOTH SHOT THROUGH THE HEAD.
The Tragedy Was Not Known Tor Hours
After the Act Was Committed,
When the Houselseeper Made
the Awful Discovery.

Brooklyn. May ga double tragedy
was enacted in the big brownstone front
house at 2l2 Greene avenue. this city,
which was brought to light by the find
ing of the dead bodies of Charles X.
Hillyard, a lawyer, and his l3-year-old
son, William X. Hillyard, in their Sleep
ing apartment. The boy was attlred In
his night clothes while the father was
partly dressed. Both had a bullet wound
near the right temple.
BY the side of the father was found a
five chambered 80 caliber revolver with
two discharged cartridges. Father and
son were last seen alive at o'clock
Monday night when Hillyard took his
boy up stairs. saying that it was time
to go 10 bed.
The bodies were discovered by Miss
Nelm Hllyard's sister-in-law, who.
alarmed at the prolonged silence in the
room. and failing to get a response TO
her knocking, broke in the door. The
bodies were cold and stif. II will never
he known for how long they had lain
there. Miss Neim had heard no sound
of shooting. The servant girl. the only
other person in the house. had also
slept undisturbed.
According to Miss Neim's story Mr..
Hilyard seemed agitated at the supper
table After supper the boy went to
work cleaning his bicycle. saying he
was going out riding in the morning,
and about s o'clock retired with his IA
ther. This was the last seen of either
of them alive.
Mrs. I1illyard died in October last.
Since that time the lawyer has acted
peculiarly at times and on several oc-
casons locked himself in his room, re-
naming there for hours at a time. He
was greatly attached to his son. and IL
is believed that the deed was commit
ted during a fit Of insanity brought on
by brooding over his wife's death.
Shortly after her death Mr.. Hilyard
made his will. bequeathing, IL is said
| about $4,000 to the boy.
Mr.. Hillyard was about so years OF
age. He was we'll known in legal and
social circles in Brooklyn where he had
lived from boyhood.
A search OF his papers has so fan
resulted in the discovery of nothing
which might throw light on his motive
for taking his own life and his sons.

LOST IN A DENSE FOG
Sixteen Cape Cod Fishermen Be-
lieved to Have Perished.
ADRIFT on THE OCEAN IN DORIES.
Left the Schooner johnson In Small
Boats, Were Enveloped In the Trsach-
erous Fog and Could Not he
Found When It Lifted.

Provineetown, Mass, May 26.-Of the
~ men OF this town who sailed on the
schooner Joseph Il. Johnson for the
fishing grounds, on the Western bank,
so called, which lies southwest of Sable
island and about 200 miles Off the Nova
Scotia coast, last week, only three came
back. The other 16 men are either stiu
adrift in their dories Off the Western
bank have found a watery grave or
happily have been picked up by some
passing steamer.
All 16 put off from the schooner early
Friday morning, but the fog that set
tied down over the ocean three hours
later swallowed them up. and when.
after three days OF waiting, II lifted no
trace of the men could Captain Blers
discern from the masthead OF the
schooner.
1t is seldom that so many families
have been called to mourn for lost ones
in this old fishing hamlet at the same
time. Provincetown has lost many of
her sons through the treacherous fog,
but such a wholesale disappearance is
exceptional.
The Captains Story.
The story told by Captain Biers is in
substance that of a pleasant run from
this port to the Western bank last week
Early Friday morning 16 men put of
in dories to set travis, the farthest
off being set about three miles from the
schooner. Two men besides Captain
Biers remained on board The air was
clear for a couple of hours, when sud-
denly bank of fog rushed down upon
the sea, shutting out of sight the boats.
Captain Biers began blowing the fog
horn, and blowed it continually for
hours. but no response came. Later
in the day the schooner was run up
about two miles. TO about where the do
ries were last seen. and there anchored.
During the night the fog lifted, and at
daybreak Captain Biers went to the
masthead and with his glass swept the
horizon. No boat was seen, and the fog
again came down. With a shift of the
wind Saturday afternoon the fog blew
away, and then Captain Biers found
that the vessel had drIfted before the
wind. Sunday morning. there being no
trace OF the boats, course was set for
Provincetown. During this time the
three men on the schooner were without
sleep, and they reached here nearly ex-
hausted.
There are. however. quite a number
of old fishermen here who are of the
opinion that the men will be seen
again, either by being picked up OF
perhaps by a lon ,row to the main
land Of Nova SEQ, n almost 200 miles
distant
The missing men Ire as follows: Jo.
seph Enos. John Caton, Frank Joseph
Joe Frad. Joe G. Miles. Frank Veara
August Frates, Manuel Souza, Jess
Carbal, George Silveira. August Lima
Frank Delgoda, Joe Bretano. Franl

Tyrsnny OF French Magistrates.

The Frenchman who believes him.
self to be independent, reformer,
and given to incredulity, still pre-
serves faith and a superstition
a superstition in the forms of justice
as they are practiced in France; an
absolute faith in every man who,
temporarily or habitually, dis
charges the duties of a magistrate.
The bourgeoisie and the people have
brought about revolutions, erected
barricades, poured out their blood
in overturning four thrones within
a century, but, nevertheless, submit
without protest to the tyranny OF
some hundreds of men who are ex-
amining magistrates. These magis-
trates are answerable to themselves
alone, and the law delivers into
their hands, without any response
bility, the life, liberty and honor OF
their fellow citizens. Any man
whose life may be blalneless, should
he be accused by the most degraded
of beings, comes under their juris-
diction. At word from them he
is cut off from the rest of the world,
imprisoned in a dungeon, becomes
a slave, the victim of an inquisitor
with unlimited powers.
1t is through this inquisitor that
his friends are acquainted Of the ac-
cusation against him, that the pub
lie press is informed and public
opinion instructed. He can obtain
no lawyer to defend him until the
day of trial, when he appears In
court to listen to clerk read the
proposal that he be condemned to
isolation, or to examination by a
crafty and unscrupulous cross ques-
toner, the nature of whose office
has destroyed in him all sense OF
morality.-Vindex in Forum.
