NAVAL TRAINING STATION.
Plan for its Transfer from Newport to
New London.

Washington, Jan. 31.-The navy de-
partment has under consideration a
proposition for transferring the naval
training station from Coasters Island,
in Newport harbor to New London.
For some time past the officials have
believed the institution might be
operated to greater advantage away
from Newport, and the change would
give the naval war college the sole pos
session Of the island. The proposition
has now taken formal shape through
report to the secretary Of tine navy
from Capt. Dickens, the officer In the
department who has direct charge of
the training school and its affairs. At
New London the government now has
a suitable reservation for the use of
the apprentices, and while the few old
buildings erected thereon are not en-
tirely sufficient for the accommodation
of the boys, not much money would be
required to place them in condition.

cUBA's SAD PLIGHT.
Reports of Terrible Suffering Confirmed
by Boston Gentlemen.

Boston, Jan. S1-The New England
Cuban relief committee today sent out
a public circular, which, after calling at
tention to the appeal Of President Nc
Kinley to the people, to contribute to
the relief of the destitute in Cuba, says
that Boston gentlemen of the highest
standing, who have just returned from
Cuba, state that the suffering is now
appalling. The Diario, one Of the most
trustworthy newspapers of Havana,
says that up to Nov. 30 in the single
province of Matanzas, 20044 non-com~
batants had perished of hunger; that
II, ,456 had disappeared, many of whom,
it is believed had wandered away and
died, and 1882 were wholly without re-
sources, $4,000 Of whom were actually
starving. Physicians say that major
tions exist in several other provinces, so
that the best authorities estimate that
100000 have already died of famine and
that at least 100000 more are in danger
of dying. The committee proposes that
collections be taken in all the churches
as soon as possible. and that the money
be forwarded Immediately to the bank
ing house of Kidder, Peabody & Co.,
Boston, which has consented to act as
treasurer, and to forward the funds in
frequent instalments to Cuba. Tho
who may not contribute in churches -
forward their checks, large or snll.n,
and they will be all thankfully ac-
knowledged. Food or clothing will also
be accepted

A TROLLEY COLLISION.
Motorman Dies from His InIuries-con-
ductor Seriously Hurt.

Newburyport, Mass, Jan. S1.-Two
cars on the Peoples Railway, operated
between this city and Haverhill, collid-
ed near the foot of Pipe Stave Hill,
West Newbury, this afternoon, and
John Hudson and John Hackett, motor
men, and Elmer Mitchell, a conductor,
were injured. Hudson fingered through
out the afternoon, but as night ap-
preached, he sank rapidly and died
about 8 O'clock. The physicians state
that his death was caused by internal
injuries. Mitchell, the conductor, is in
a precarious condition.
Both cars were demolished. The ac-
cident occurred through the attempt of
those in charge of one car to make up
lost time by moving on towards a turn
out ahead when they should have wait
ed at the one they passed, for the car
coming from the opposite direction.

EXAMINED BIoGRAPH.
Members of License Board Visit the
Bijou Theatre.

The members of the license board paid
a visit of inspection to the Bijou Thea
tire, Monday forenoon, to look into the
biograph which Manager Offner is run
ming there, and they found that, with
possibly one exception, everything con
nected with the machine was as safe as
they could wish for. According to SUI
pervisor of Electric Wires Knight the
electric wiring for the machine is the
best and safest that has ever been put
in in the city, and the machine itself is
as near perfect as it is possible to make
it,
The members Of the board, however,
decided that a coat Of tin on the inside
of the box in which the machine and it's
operator stand, would add to the safety,
and Manager Offner will have the tin
coat put on the box Immediately so that
there will not be the least chance for a
fire from the machine.

In conversation with the mayor after
the meeting, he explained to a Spy man
that 1t was necessary to cut in round
figures $310, 900 from the estimates of the
departments. This does not mean that
these departments will not receive any
more money, but at present all has been
appropriated that is available Later the
license money and the premiums on
bonds will be available.
It was necessary to make the total
amount of appropriations correspond
with the amount that by law may be
raised by taxation, and the total is now
within $56.40 Of the limit. The item of
salaries is based on the figures Of last
wear, and it gives little idea of the to-
tai amount paid out in salaries as the
larger number are coLtained in the APP
propriations for the various depart
nents.
II was thought best to cut where there
