You come here TO tell US to close our
ears and shut our eyes to the monstrous
cruelty of the Spaniards to their own
subjects in Cuba, and TO the horrible deed
perpetrated on citizens OF the United

Her Property Transferred to Her
Lawyer nnd Is Now Tied Up.
New York. April 1S.-Miss Harriet Hall
Bedlow Morris. whose marriage to John
Rex Guelph Norman, an East Indian
doctor, on March 26. caused a sensation in
Newport and in Boston. has decided to
separate from her husband, and divorce
proceedings will soon be begun
Mrs. Norman is the daughter of the
Newport, r. [. She was married to the
late Commander Francis Morris, United
States Navy, and was noted for her
beauty in the society of Rhode Island and
of Southern Europe, where her husband
was stationed
She formed the acquaintance of Nor
man during his attendance on her daugh-
ter in the character of a physician. He
came from Montmein. India, and first at
tracted attention by attempting to cure
Charles Broadway Rouss of blindness.
With DR.. w Frederick Morrison he
founded the Humanitarian Union, with
headquarters at No. SIC East Fifteenth
Street. DR.. Morrison separated from
him and Norman conducted the enterprise
with Benjamin f. Holmes.
He was much Younger than Mrs Nor
ris, who is woman of large wealth. The
wedding was secret being performed by
Judge PARDON E. TiIlinghast. in private
chambers in Providence. r. l.
The woman s friends were astonished
when they heard of it, and could account
for it only on the theory that the doc
tor had exerted some hypnotic influence
over her.
Mrs. Norman has now come to the
same conclusion. After the wedding her
husband went with her to Boston. where
she occupies an apartment in the Tuil-
leries, in Commonwealth Avenue. His
first care was to visit his wife's legal ad-
wiser and make Inquiries concerning her
property. Mrs. Norman inherited a for
tune in real estate from her maternal
grandfather. Fitz Henry Horner.
Norman's experience with the lawyer
was not pleasant. He was informed that
if he had hoped to obtain any money he
would be disappointed. He argued that
as husband, he was entitled to consider
alton. but his arguments were unavail-
ing. and he came back to this city to look
after the Humanitarian Union
Bad luck pursued him and he was ar
rested on a civil suit brought by his
managers" who held that he had vio
lated his agreement with them. AS soon
as his bride heard of his trouble she
came here to assist him. She then heard
certain things which caused her to change
her mind, and she FASTENED back to Bo5-
ton.
She agreed to transfer her property to Il
lawyer as trustee. The transfer was mada
last week, and her fortune is now tied
up in such manner that no money can
go to the Doctor unless she allows il TO
him out of her allowance. This, she has
declared, she is determined not to do
for, as she has told her friends, she feels
that she has been the victim of decep-

WHAT IT MEANS.
An UItimRtun TO Spain viii BE the
First Step.

ElEst Step"
There viii be a demand on Spain today,
Il is understood. and certainly not later
than tomorrow. This ultimatum viii re
cite that the United States insists that
Spain shall Immediately evacuate Cuba.
1t will be couched in such language that
a direct answer will be necessary imme-
diately
Il is believed that Spain viii await the
formality Of laying the demand of the
United States before the cortes. which
meets for an extraordinary session tomor-
row. The decision of Spain has been
reached however. Cuba will not be
given up without a struggle. A defiant
answer viii be returned to the Presi-
dents ultimatum.
Mr.. Mckinley will then issue a procla-
nation reciting the necessity of invading
Cuba with the army and navy of the
United States. Legislation will be had
Immediately comforting on him the right
TO call for volunteers.
The invasion will then begin without
further delay. The hope of the President
is that Spain will give up at the last mo-
ment before any bloodshed is necessary.
His next hope is that it win only be nee
eSsary TO take Havana. Opinions vary
as TO the temper of Spain on this point,
but there is a large party in Spain that
demands a hard fight, and it is certain
that there may be much more than a
mimic war and a mimic defense by that
country.
The armies of the United States are on
the move All over the country. as fast
as the trains can carry them. they are
hurrying TO the Gulf cities, Before the
end of the week the entire regular army,
with the exception of a few men abso-
luteiy necessary in the interior and in
the fortifications on the coast, will be en-
camped at Tampa, Mobile and New Or
leans and at Chickamaugua Park. In
the same way that the cavalry troops
leave Fort Myer this morning, the move

Union where there are any troops sta

Three Hundred and Fifty Prepared

Tampa, Fla, April B-4n4 steamer
Olivette of the Plant line is under charter
to the Spanish consul at this point for
the purpose of taking Spaniards to Cuba.
She will sail tomorrow.
Three hundred and fifty Spanish sub

The Spanish consul has cabled to Cap
tain General Blanco, in Havana, asking
that he allow the ship to start as soon
as all Of her passengers have been taken
on, and that the Onvette be permitted to
enter Havana without the payment of
clearance and port charges.
1t is likely that some of the few Ameri-
cans who will remain in Cuba will be

Mr. Ryan. who was a builder and con-

at that place, and Firori was doing the
foundation work. Ryan went to the build
ings this morning and was dissatisfied
with Firoris work. He told the Italian
so. and also that he had been well paid
for work that was only half way done
at best. He wound uD by telling the
Italian that he would lose the job entire

done and do better work in the future.
The Italian retorted with volley of
oaths and the disputants damned each
other vigorously. Ryan thought that was

Firori went on with Jne work and Ry

about o'clock. he strolled down to ho-

the dispute. Firori finally bolted out of
the place with a threat that he would 40

soon started out.

the porch on his back bleeding from a
wound in his right forearm and in his alb
