was held to consider the present con-
dition of Cuba.
Addresses were made by Rev. DR..
Lyman Abbott, William Willard How
ard, Rev. Herbert NJ. Allen and others.
Mr.. Howard described the condition of

that the only remedy for the existing
misery lay in giving employment to the
poor. He introduced industrial relief
among the Armenians in Turkey dur
Ing his two years as n relief commits
sioner.
Mr.. Allen, who wns Mr. Howards
associate in Armenian relief work, de-
scribcd the Industrial relief operations
in Turkey up to the present time. Res
clutions We're adopted indorsing plan
for Cuban Industrial relief as a practic
nj and effective means of helping the
Cuban poor to help themselves, by pro
viding for them honest employment in
stead of indlscriminate gifts and TEN,
porary relief
Continuing, the resolutions recon-
mend: THAT an undenominational
committee be formed to procure funds
with which TO carry this plan into eff
feet; and we appeal to all lovers of hu-
manity throughout the United States

teal charity earnest encouragement
and financial support, to the end that
Americas great service to mankind,
begun by carrying to victorious con
clusion an unseltish war for humanity,
may be finished by n service to the
poor and helpless, which shall. in its
efforts to prevent the pauperizing and
preserve the manhood and self-respect
of Its beneficiaries, be no less signii-
cant Il the cause of civilization than
the illustrious achievements of our
army and navy"

CUBANS TO BE EDUCATED.
General whceler's Plan Finding Favor nj
Colleges.

New York, Nov. 11.-General Joseph
Wheeler is deeply interested in the ed.
ucation OF Cuban young men. He be.
lieves that IL young Cubans will come
to this country and be tutored and then
return home they will be of great use
IN developing Cuba and Introducing n
stable form of government.
General Wheeler has commissioned
Gilbert *. Harroun. treasurer of Tn
ION College, 10 ask the American col
leges IL each of them would give free
education TO two or more Cubans il
the right sort of men could be found
TO secure a college course in this coun-
try.
MIR. Harroun has written to more than
800 college presidents In the United
States asking them to cooperate and
advance General Wheeler's plan. More
than 100 replies are n, hand and with
one accord the colleges agree to take
two or more young men who can pass
the necessary examinations. and who
can come v0uched for as To character.
and make them beneficiarles to the ey-
tent of free tuition.
In many cases the colleges agree to
aid the young men beyond free tuition.
In several Instances the colleges. recog.
niZing the difficulties under which the
Young men In Cuba have labored, have
agreed to receive them without insist
ing upon passing the examinations.

ish sailors Ia Time Of Danger.
The contrast between the two ma
tions stands out clearly In connection
with the Viscaya, says Ira Nelson Hol-
lis, in the November Atlantic. The
torpedo boat Ericsson ran close along
side of her, and sent n small boat to
take of hll that were alive Of her
crew. A few boats from the Iowa a.
sisted. The yiscaya was on fire fore
and aft; the ammunition on board was
exploding, and the guns that had been
left loaded were going OF one after an
other In the intense heat, TO say noth-
Ing of the proximity of the shore. The
position of the little craft has been de-
scribed as perilous In the extreme. Our
men risked their lives repeatedly to
help their fallen enemy; but no sooner
were the Spaniards transferred to the
deck of the Ericsson than they urged
immediate withdrawal without regard
to their comrades who had been left
behind. To the honor Of our navy,
Lieutenant Usher remained until every
living being had been rescued from the
burning ship. A similar scene was en-
acted around the two torpedo boat de-
stroyers. II was case of mad panic
on the one side, and Of perfect coolness
on the other. One officer on the Wis
caya afterward stated on board the
Iowa that they were obliged to close
the gun-ports on the disengaged side of
the ship, to prevent the men from
jumping overheard rather than face
the American gun-iire.

BIG FIRE AT DAWSON.
Forty of tho Beat Buildinxs burned with
Loss Of 100000.

Skaguay. Alaska. Nov. 4. via victo-
ria. Il. c.. Nov. 14.-Returning Klon-
dikers arriving In this city today
bring the news that the city of Daw-
son has been visited with n $500. 1000
fire, in which forty buildings We're
burned, including the new postofiice
building and some of the best build
ings in the city.
The fire took place OH the morning
Of October 10th and started In the
Green Tree saloon. The blaze was
started ns the result of row between
Two women. in which Belle Mitchell
threw lighted lamp at another
woman. The lamp broke. the oil
spread and In few seconds the
building was Oh fire. The fire started
nj $40 n. m.
The fire OF one year ago was caused
by this same woman. who threw a
lamp AT a man with whom she had n
quarrel. One month ago she tried TO
burn her own place on Third avenue
In Dawson by throwing lamp at n
woman and nearly caused conflagra-
ton.
The news OF the confiagration was
brought out by several OF the miners
who arrived In this city. The steam.
or Ora left Dawson October Goth and
twenty through passengers reached
Bennett yesterday morning.
At the time the police gong sound.
cd the fire alarm n light wind was
blowing down the Yukon and the peo-
pie nj once saw that Il would require
speedy and quick work TO save the
town from total destruction. The
postoiiice was the next building south
OF the Green Tree saloon and the work
Of getting the letters and parcels OF

to. Although nearly all the mail mat.

HEROISM IN MIN ES,
How Miner Was Saved at the Peril q

How y Miner Was Saved at the Peril of
Other Lives.
Heroes are found among the miners
of our country as well as among our
soldiers, as the following incident
proves. Three men of Sumdum, Alas
ka. had just spitted eleven holes in the
bottom OF shaft and started for the
surface on the edge of n bucket. The
swing of the bucket threw one of them
against timber and he was knocked
Off. falling to the bottom. He was not
seriously hurt and retained perfect
consciousness. Death In horrible
form stared him In the face. BILLY!
Billy" shouted he to the foreman:
don't leave me here to diew Pull
that bell cord" said Billy to his COM
panlon. II can't find It," was the re-
ply. Pull that cord, damn you, or I
will knock you Off the bucketw The
cord was pulled and the descent, then
sixty feet from bottom Of shaft, was
made. AS the bottom was approached,
the engineer slowed up, rs usual.
Quick signals to lower. and, the bot
tom being reached, the two men jump
ed of, and, grabbing the hurt man.
put him into the bucket. Signals to
hoist at full speed started them up
ward. The explosion occurred just as
the men reached the surface and safe
ty. Who shall say that heroism of the
highest kind was not here displayed?-

pected that within ten days CommO-
dore Philip will have under his COM

along the Brazilian coast for another
ten days ut least, and by that time the
authorities say that the policy Of
Spain with respect to the negotiations
Will have finally developed.
The armored cruisers New York and
brooklyn are in splendid condition;
the battleshlp Massachusetts will
have completed her repairs during the
present week, and all construction
work OH the Indiana will also be COM
rleted within that time. So far as the
Iexas Is concerned, naval officers say
that short time only will be neces-
sary to repair her propeller.
Just as soon as all OF the armor-
tiads are ready they will proceed to

Orders have been received at the

vote Of 2S5 to II TO abandon the tenn

Five hours of animated. vigorous
aud occasionally bitter and personal de-
bating was necessary before the vote
was reached.
The opposition TO this action declared
II was an act Of reputation of u moral
obligation. and fought every inch Of
ground. hut most OF the leaders were
against them and carried their point.
letter from Lady Henry Somerset,
dated October -. 1SaS, was read by
the secretary. expressing n desire for
pence, as n monument to Miss Willard,
aiming for peaceful outcome OF all
controversies, frankly giving the opin-
Ions OF MISS Willard ON the temple.
Miss Willard feared the plan OF the
temple was too vast. At her request
Lady Henry Somerset had consented
10 plead with Mrs. Carse to abandon
her undertaking.
Lady Henry Somerset feared the
fight for the temple would wreck the
organization Miss willard had done
much TO build up. She believed the
temple would, even though II was not
owned by the w. &. T. T.. ever stand
as n memorial 10 what women had
wrought.
Finally. after all who wanted to
speak had been allowed their limited
time. Miss Annn A. Gordon was per-
mltled To close the debate, speaking
against the temple. the previous aurs.
