American Newspaper Men Being Tx
PEELED From Cuba.

Havana, March 3O.-The Diaro de
Lamarina, commenting editoriaIly to-
day on the strained relations between
Spain and the United States, and the
hopes expressed here that the end of
the trouble may be that the Ukited
nexatiOn of Cuba and not for the indie
pendence of the island says:
Spain will spend her last dollar be-
fore giving Cuba up to either the insur-
gents or Americans
Nothing further has been learned re-
garding the wrecking train sent to the
relief of the train carrying supplies to
towns in Havana province, which was
wrecked yesterday about q miles out
Bejucal, by an explosion on the track.
No one was injured by the accident,
though four freight cars left the track
and one was overturned in a ditch. The
only loss reported is two sacks of corn
meal. The stores will be distributed to-
day. Special Commissioner Louis,
who was in the passenger coach behind
the freight cars, will return to New
York today or tomorrow. A man named
Garcia, who has acted as interpreter
here for a New York newspaper, leaves
for Key West today by order of the
chief of police, who accuses him of be-
ing the author of many sensational
stories and of having been in communi-
cation with the insurgents
The great iron railroad bridge near
Palmira, Province of Santa Clara, was
destroyed by the insurgents on March
%, with the use of dynamite. The re-
port of the explosion was heard fifteen
miles away. It is reported that orders
have been given to expel from Cuba,

Entire Michigan Delegation
Calls on the President.

Regarding Cuba.
ASKS THEM TO WAIT.

He Hopes the Country Will
Stand United.

Washington, D. c., March 3d.
The Republican members of the Mich
fgan delegation in the house had a con-
ference with the president today in
which the Cuban policy was reviewed.
Inc delegation comprised every Repub-
hcan member from Michigan. Repre-
sentative William Alden Smith acted as
chairman. They informed the president
OF the sentiment in their state as well
as the strong Cuban disposition of the
house. They urged that there should
be action prompt and decisive, and that
the country, as judged by the sentiment
of the house and of their own state,
would allow little further delay They
insisted that nothing should be consid-
cred which does not affect the perma-
nent removal of the Spanish flag from
the island and the assurance of a com
plete independence. 1t was suggested
that no negotiations should be entered
into with Spain without first giving the
Cubans a status.
The president, however, suggested that
that was matter of detail.
The delegation with much feeling ap-
pealed to the president never to allow
the Maine incident to become matter
of international arbitration.
The president listened throughout with
great interest. He said he desired to
confer with the senators and represen-
tatiVes and desired the widest latitude
of discussion and conference.
He hoped, however, that congress
would not act precipitately. The ad-
ministration, he stated, was pursuing a
course it deemed proper and he wanted
the fullest advice, even if the SuggeS-
tions met were not in accord with his
own views and judgment. He stated he
was expecting hourly important advi-
ces from Minister WOOdford at Madrid
on which much would depend. He said
the administration was pursuing a
course consonant with a cool Judgment
and that if there should be war, he
trusted the country would be united in
support of whatever action was deemed
wise.

MAY GO TO ST. LOUIS.
Removal of Presbyterian Home Mis-
sions Board From New York
PrODOsed,

Pittsburg, Pa, March 31.-The removal
of the home missions board from New
York to st. Louis will be one of the great
questions that will be brought before the
Presbyterian general assembly in WinOna
in May. Rev. DR.. G. w. F. Birch of
New York and Rev. Charles A Dickey. of
Philadelphia were here today comforting
with local Presbyterians on this and other
matters. DR.. Dickey said:
Il am decidedly in favor of removing
the board of home missions to st. Louis
and making Rev. DR.. Samuel J. NiccOns
the secretary. 1t is the only way to
solve the synod management problem. The
synodical plans have come to stay. The
home board created for emer-
gency, but now it's occupation is largely
gone. Why have a board away down on
the seacoast in New York to manage the
work of the great synOds like Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio. Indiana and Illinois? The old
synOds can do their own work at St.
Louis and the frontier work can be in
comparably better managed than from
New York. Then another thing, the time
is coming, and we shall see it, when the
freedmen's board must be consolidated
with the home board, and st. Louis is
the proper location for the management
of the work"
DR.. Birch opposes the transfer of the
board. The proposition will cause a lively
church contest when the New York Pres
byterians hear of 1t.

COMPENSATORY.
Negotiations for Purchase of st
Thomas Officially Announced.

Washington, March 30.-The navy de-
partment has had in view for some time
the acquisition of a cOaling station in the
West Indies. The government is now
without coaling station in a foreign
country of any Importance. a matter of
considerable regret among naval officials.
Ever since the trouble with Spain has
been threatened, Captain Bradford, the
looking over the field very carefully and
has indicated to Secretary Long several
deSira bic places in the West Indies, where
excellent harbors exist, which in his
judgment might be acquired. by the gov
eminent. One of these locations is the
island of st. Thomas. a Danish possess
sion. where it is said the facilities for the
establishment of coaling station are ad-
mirable. Secretary Long has recognized
the force of Captain Bradford's argu-
ments and representations in the matter
and has laid the question before the state
department officials with a view of the
ACQUISITION of St. Thomas.
It is said at the navy department today
that no purchase of the island has yet
been contaminated, but that negotiations
