Inspector Stone, charged with larceny

ticeable as to attract the attention of
Inspector Fisher, who enlisted the ser
vices of Inspector Stone to find out
where the goods were coming from
1t was finally ascertained that Girard
was the man who had sold most of the
goods, and that he had given the deal
ers a fictitious name. Girard is en-
pleyed in the mems furnishing store of
Joseph Anderson, and, although the
proprietor was not aware that any
thing was missing, comparison of the
cost mark on some of the gloves proved
that the goods were taken from his
store.
Girard has a police record, having
been arrested twice by Inspector Stone
on the charge of larceny. He was also
implicated at one time in the burning
of a hotel in Boston, but went free
when the case came to trial.

Washington D. c., April 2. :
The flying squadron wills be completed
tomorrow with the arrival of the Mime
apolis at Hampton Roads ano then the
swiftest group Of warships ever gathered
in one command will be ssembled I'M
der Commodore Schleys flag.
Supplementing the action taken yes
terday by the navy department in request
ing governors Of states to drill and equip
the naval militia SO as to be ready for
any emergency, Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt today sent letters to the gov
errors Of these seacoast and lake states
not having such organizations to take
steps looking to the formation Of naval
militia SO far as possible under such
state laws.
Commodore Schley has received a
query from Washington asking him what
is the earliest date on which he would
be able to leave Hampton Roads. He has
replied that If the Minneapolis reaches
here tomorrow to coal be ran move on
Sunday night or Monday morning at
least. The squadron may go to sea on

PEARL HARBoR CoAL1NG STATION

Washington, April 1.-Secretary Long
has sent to Congress report on the pro-
ject for the establishment of a naval coal
ing station at Pearl harbor, Hawaii, SUBJ
mitted by Rear Admiral Miller, COM
mander in chief of the naval forces of the
Pacific station. AS result of the surveys
and examinations made Admiral Miller
reports that the capabilities of Pearl har-
Dor as an anchorage for vessels of large
size las been much exaggerated and that
the government should acquire possession
of the whole of Waipio peninsular, COM
prising 800 acres of land ii a station is to
be located at Pearl Harbor. The price of
the land as held by the present owners is
fictitious one and unless improvements
are made in Pearl Harbor would probably
be worth $50 an acre.
Secretary Long recommends that Book
oning point be selected as the site for the
contemplated station on account of its
proximity to East Loeb, which has the
largest anchorage, as dry docks may be
easily built there and as there is ample
space to dock and unlock vessels of any
size. He believes the bar can be dredged
to the depth Of 80 feet as at Honolulu and
within the etimated sum of $105, 200.

THE AuroNoM1srs APPEAL

Washington, D. c., April 1.-The Gu
ban Autonomists have appealed to Pres
tdedt Mckinley.
The appeal to the President is as fol-
lows:
"The colonial government of Cuba de-
sire to make known to the President or
the United States, that, although there
are some Cubans in arms yet there are an
immense number who accept home rule
and are resolved to work jealousy under
this form of government to re-establish
peace and prosperity in the land. The in
surgents form minority while the
artonomists represent the majority of the
interests of civilization by means of
liberty and justice. The Cuban people is
an American people and has in coose-
quence q perfect right to govern itself &C
oording to it's own wishes and aspirations
and in no way would it be just for
foreign will to impose upon 1t political
regime which it esteemS contrary to Its
happiness and conscience. This would be
to substitute oppression instead of liberty.
The Cuban people is now free people.
1t wishes to rule its own destinies and it
would be great wickedness to dispose
of it's lot without it's consent. The history
and feelings of the United States do not
permit an American people to be sacrl.
feed and forced to form government
which the same people consider pernlc1ous
to it's permanent interests and to the
cause of peace and order in a country of
different races, of small population and
where political education is yet incom-
plete.
"The honorable government of Cuba
hopes that the President of the United
States, faithful to the noble traditions of
the great North American republic will
consider and respect the rights of the
Cuban people, not permitting violence to
prevail; it also hopes that he will con-
tribute by powerful action to the re-
establishment of peace in Cuba under the
sovereignty of the mother country and
with home government equal for all
and which might be still improved so as
to inspire the confidence of every one.
The home rule government of this island,
which is Cuban government, protests
energetically against the falsehoods of
part of the American press, published
with the malignant intention of firing
passions, making it appear that injustice
and brutal force reign in Cuba and that
home rule has failed even before the
colonial parliament has taken a seat, and
when experience cannot yet tell whether
the new regime will answer or not. There
is no good faith in these stories. AS was
said by the immortal Washington,
Honesty is the best policy"
'sThe Cuban parliament is about to
meet and both the spirit Of America and
the principles of right demand respect
for the will of the majority of the people.

president of the Honorable Government
of Cuba'
