attitude Of many Of the richest men in
New York. Russell Sage is of the
opinion that almost any amount OF
money can be obtained in very short
time. He said:
This war may last two months, or II may
continue for two years, and In either event
the government will need money. This the

quarters OF the army the thought Of
exposing large bodies Of Uniied States
soldiers to yellow fever is one that
cannot be endured for moment.
Gen. Miles has carefully collected sta.
tistics from army surgeons and others
and has learned that If the army Is
sent to Cuba at least 80 per cent of
the men will die from fever. For this
reason he has advised against an i'm.

LONDON, April SO.--The Moscow cor.
respondent Of the Standard says:
Public opinion In Russia, so far as it
Is expressed, sympathizes with Spain.
Apart from admiration OF the courage
that ventures upon conflict with an
overwhelmingly superior antagonist,
Russia has received a severe blow In
the suspected friendly agreement
between the United States and En-
gland. The Russians do not forget
placing their feet at the disposal Of
the north In the war Of secession in
1851, and they are bitterly aggrieved
that the United States is not equally
mindful Of this service now.

little room for the boys. MT, Hutchin- son refused to be dictated to by the di- rectors or give any report of the finances and debts. This was too much, and the following officers resigned yesterday: L.. R. Goldberg, vice president; Mrs. E. L. Wadham, treasurer B. L. Wadham, D. S.. OBrien, Mrs. R. Clayton Brewer, J. A Waldteufel and pr. A. B. Wilson.
 This general resigning was preceded by establishing another home for boys on Howard street, near Sixteenth. It Is the determination of those who have left the old organization to establish home of their own and leave MT. Hutchinson to shift for himself. The condition of the home on Laurel place is such that the health officers were notified last evening and asked to make an inspection of the premises.
 The other side, those who did not re- sign, tell different story. Mrs Pettee. the president. says that the trouble was all caused by the Eureka Society people wanting to handle all the money and Mir. Hutchinson, who had managed to keep the home alive for many months, re- fused to be dictated to and let others get the credit of his work. Mrs. March Is another who has stayed with the old home, and she takes the same view as Mrs Pettee

1UPE sAUCEDo DISAPPEARS.
The Little Italian Girl Missing From
 Her Home Since Last Monday.

I.upe Saucedo, a girl years of age, disanpeared suddenly from her home at 735 Broadway Monday night and has not been seen since Various theories have been advanced as a solution to the mys- tery. among them abduction and acciden- tai death
 It is alleged that the childs parents have been in the habit of abusing her, and for this reason she has left her home. Others affirm that she was abducted by some man who was probably attracted by her beauty, and a few that some charlt- ably inclined woman has taken pity on the child by placing her In an institu- ton.
 When last seen she was in company with a child of her own age playing in a neighboring yard. Where she went after this is a mystery as no one saw her leave the yard. complained that her face and hands were paining her, she having been brutally thrown against a hot stove that morning by her mother who was acting under an Impulse of anger caused by drunken frenzy.
 That the child was ever abused Is de- nfed by its parents but is sustained by the girls school teacher at the BroadWay Grammar School, who claims that little Lupe was in the habit of coming to school virtually In rags and totally neglected It was a novelty to see her attend class without some mark of abuse on her body dealt by the cruel hand of her parent
 When last seen she was poorly, even raggedly clad in an ordinary woollen dress and her face bearing the marks Of her recent punishment.
