Gomez says he can raise 10000 in

of the Cuban forces against Blanco. A
Cuban army of any strength cannot be
modified until after food for it has
been furnished by the United States.
Gomez figures the supply proposition

They do not count upon bread or coffee.
For bread they can substitute such po-

New York, May 1O.-Three of the five
heroines of the Chase Art school who
mutinied for Old G1ory's sake, and for
one of whom Principal VIM. NJ. Chase

thrashed by the lady's husband, also
suffer the ruin of their four pictures

persons unknown. Miss Kellar had two
pictures finished for the fall exhibit

had each a study from still life. Mrs.
Sangree's picture was unfinished.
The three returned to the school on
Friday morning and saw that the pic

The life class" was in session then,
presided over by Miss Susan Bissell,

pressman took the paintings to the
home of Miss Glenn in Fifty-ninth

The young women were waiting, and

paint and one had been slashed from its

The failure of Mr.. Lindblom was en-
tirely unexpected even among his close
business associates. 1t is attributed to
the condition of the wheat market and
the fact that he was suddenly called up
on during the day to provide margins
for trades in barley, amounting to $40,-
900.
Mr.. Lindb1om found himself unable to
respond to the call and decided to make
an assignment in the county court so
as to provide equally for his creditors.
1t is said that arrangements may be
made with the creditors of Mr.. Lind
ylon, an a few days, SO that he may re-
