Castillo Informs French Government That
the Fleet VIII Sail For Manila.
WASHINGTON, May 27.-Spain's en-
bassador at Paris has informed the
French minister for foreign affairs that
Manila is the prospective destination
Of the squadron getting ready at Cadiz.
From an official source in France this
report was received by the authorities
yesterday. The statement was coupled
by the announcement. however, that the
Information was laid before the French
minister by the Spanish embassadOrun
der instructions from the ministry
which recently went out of office and
hat as the new ministry was leveling
considerable criticism at the work Of
its predecessor the plan the authori-
ties here were informed. may'have been
changed.
In any event according to the infor-
nation received, 1t Is extremely doubt
tul If the fleet can bo got In condition to
sail under another week and probably
ii longer time. The machinery Of sew
eral Of the vessels Is reported to be out
of order on account OF a lack Of skilled
men. The battery Of the armored cruis-
er Carlos v is not In satisfactory con-
ditlon. Workmen are employed day and
night In making the necessary repairs
and every effort Is being made TO get
the ships away from Cadiz as quickly as
possible
Naturally, the report that the Span
ish government had informed France
that the destination Of its fleet was Ma
nilla was a cause of some comment in
official circles, but until further infor-
nation comes regarding the decision Of
she new ministry the authorities do not
propose 10 waste much time in worry
ms over the matter.
In view of the tight position of the
spanish fleet In the harbor Of Santiago
de Cuba the authorities say that II
would be absurd for the Spaniards 10
send their reserve squadron to the far
east and they believe that this plan
viii not be carried out.

WOULD RECEIVE THE SICK.
REV. =. VI. Crothers Offers His House a.
Hospital.

Rev. Samuel NJ. Crolhers, pastor Of the
First Parish church, Harvard square,
Cambridge, Mass, formerly Of Bra.tle-
Ooro, has offered TO turn his house into a
temporary hospital for the use of returned
soldiers.
Mr.. Crothers notified the various Bos-
ton hospitals where wounded or sick sol
dirrs have been received that be could
accommodate 10 men until his family re-
turns, oct. !.
Mr. Crothers's house is numbered 20
OXfotd street, and is situated but short
distance from Memorial hall in a quiet,
delightful neighborhood. The house is
large and the rooms high studded, and
open on all sides to light and breeze.
There is considerable open ground and
also plenty Of shade trees.
Mr.. Crothers's idea is TO take 10 men
whose families do not live near Boston
The women of the Volunteer Aid society
Of Cambridge have decided 70 cooperate
with Mr.. Croihers and in case the hospi-
tails send any men, will furnish the neces-
sary bedding and such supplies as may be
necessary for the comfort of the soldiers
while there.

Hearing on a Claim of $500.

There was hearing in Hinesburg Mon
day afternoon before j. II. Richmond and
Henry Akley on the estate of the late Ed
ward Thurber. j. w. Thurber, a son of
the deceased, presented a claim of 500 and
interest since 1885, upon which he had
been paid sums aggregatiDg about 500.
The claim was for an amount which it was
claimed Edward Thurber agreed, in April
1885, was due his son. 1t appeared that
the claimant worked for his father on the
farm for ! / years, or until he was 81 years
old, and that for several years after that
time he worked on shares. The defence
denied any admission on the part of Ed
ward Thurber as to the Indebtedness, and
claimed that j. W. Thurber had received
all that he was entitled t..
The defence further insisted that what
ever further claim j. w. Thurber had was
barred by the statute of limitations and
that whatever payments he had credited
were gifts from his father which could not
avail him to renew the account. c. C.
Fits appeared for the claimant and Water
man, Martin Il Hit for the estate. The
decision was reserved.

Baby Elephant Born!

The birth of the smallest elephant ever
horn in captivity occurred with the Wal
ter l.. Main shows Thursday, May 26,
while en- route between Shamokin and
Pottsville, Pa. 1t is "a inches high,
weighs but $50 pounds and has been
christened admiral Dewey" The moth
er, Columbia" also born in captivity in
London, and the largest elephant now in
this country, is an offspring of "Cleopa-
tra," by Jumbo"
Yesterday, while the show was en- route
from Pottsville TO Scranton, the Omaha
Exposition MANAGERS wired Mr.. Main a
joint offer of 500, 900 in cash for the moth
er and baby. The offer was declined with
thanks. AS an investment, as a drawing
card, It's value can hardly be estimated. If
the business the show dreg in consequence
at Pottsville is any criterion, it is of untold
value. The show was obliged TO give
three, instead of two daily exhibitions, to
accommodate the people Albany, n. Y,

Fined for Selling Beer.

Walter C. Harvey, formerly of Brattle-
boro, who runs hotel between Westport
and Winchester villages, and Peter Fortier,
a well known restaurant keeper of Win
chester, were brought to Keene Thursday
by Deputy Sheriff RXford for arraignment
before Judge Holmes on the charge of
keeping beer for sale.
Harvey pleaded guilty to a first offence,
and was ordered to pay a fine of $40 and
costs aggregating S23.06, which he did.
Fortler Pleaded not guilty to a subsequent
offence charge, but the evidence of Sheriff
RlXford and his own admissions, coupled
with his previous record in vending the
contraband, were sufficient to convince the
court that he should be bound over to the
October term. The bond was fixed at
5000. The complaints were made out at
the behest of ExGov. Goodell.

THE THIEvING CUBANs.
NJ II. Warren Saw Them Rob American
bead.


John L. Stewart has received a letter
written at Santiago August - by Merton
Ii. Warren of Company C, 9th Massachu-
sets regiment
A large part of the letter is devoted to a
description of the Cuban peddlers who try
t. dispose of their wares TO the soldiers,
and in closing he says: 81 noticed an edi-
rial in Boston paper not long since
which denied the statements made by the
soldiers in regard to the honesty of the
Cubans. The white Cubans are all right
but the half-breeds and black Cubans are
lazy, thieying lot. | have seen them,
with my own eyes, rob the American dead,
and any officer on the field will tell you
they are very lazy crowd. They may
have been workers, once upon time, but
1t was long ago. Give me any old kind of
race, other than Cubans. | have seen
enough not to be fooled by them, or by
any American editorials"
Warren used for letter paper a sheet on
which some Spaniard had written letter
dated at Tunis in 1892.
In note dated August u Warren spoke
of the 2lst death in the 9th regiment,
which occurred that day He said that if
the boys stayed there another week there
would be twice as many more dead. The
men embarked a day or two later on the
Allegheny, which arrived at MOntauk this
week, 10 men Of the 9th dying on the voy-
age.
