ANNAPOLIS CADETS HERE.
Believe They Are to BE Assigned to
Active Duty.

Twenty-six cadets from the Naval
Academy at Annapolis reached this city
on the $50 o'clock train yesterday even
ing over the Pennsylvania Railroad.
They are members of the class which
win graduate next June and the fact
that they are being hurried to Fortress
Monroe before graduation is regarded as
significant.
When one of the cadets was questioned
at the Sixth Street depot he said the de-
tachment had received orders yeterday
morning to pack up their effects and
be ready to take the afternoon train for
Washington.
From Washington we go to Hampton
Roads, he added, where I suppose We
will be assigned to our ships. To man
we believe we will have war with Spain,
and the boys are just aching get at the
Dons and help wipe out the treacherous
score the towards made when they de-
stroyed the Maine.
After having refreshments at a down
town hotel. the cadets boarded Ninth
Street electric cars and went to the
wharf Of the Norfolk and Washington
Steamboat Company, where they en-
barked on the steamer Washington for
Fortress Monroe.
They were ruddy-faced, gallant types
of young American manhood, and will
no doubt give q good account of them
selves should hostilities begin. The
steamer was delayed half hour for the
cadets baggage, which came on a later
train.

GLOOMY STORY OF CUBA.
What Rev. Eugene May Saw and
Henrd on the Island.

When the history of the destitution,
misery and sufferngs of the Cubans is
told in plain, unvarnished story, it will
startle and horrify the inhabitants of the
civilized world This is the opinion of the
Rev Eugene May, d. D., of this city,
who returned home Saturday from ten
days tour Of the island.
DR.. May has Travelled over the greater
part of the world, but nowhere nor un-
der any conditions he said, has he ever
witnessed such q deplorable condition as
exists among the inhabitants of Cuba at
the present time. During his stay in the
island he visited the provinces of Pinar
del Rio, Matanzas and Sangua lie Grande.
He said it is not safe for an American to
venture beyond the limi;s of these prov
inces.
In these distric s the misery and desu-
tuition which exists among the reconcen-
trados no tongue can express, no Ian
guage can describe. The immediate
wants of the reconcentrados, however.
were very much relieved by the Red
Cross Socie.y and MIR. hlopsch, of the
Christian Herald of New York During
DIR. Nays stay at the small town Of
Cercantes an election was held Cn the
question of autonomy or no autonomy.
and of the 3,0G0 inhabitants who were
entitled 10 vote not a single one availcd
himself OF the privilege This, how
ever, had no effect in the making out of
the returns. for when the result was for
warded il showed that the vote was over
whelmingly in favor of autonomy.
The condition of affairs in Havana is
exciting in the extreme. and if there is
one place in the world jus, at this time
where Americans are not safe ii is there
So far none of the American citizens has
been openly molested but no opportunity
is let pass by the Spaniards to insul, and
humiliate Them. This feeling of hatred
is very noticeable after dark; then
it is impossible for an American to
appear on the streets without being
jeered at and insulted. They are whis-
tied at like dogs and if any of them are
found in the dark they are spit upon and
called all manner of vile epi;hets. The
/ Spaniards lose no opportunity to ridicule
/ Uncle Sam. whom they call hog. They
! say he is afraid to fight and even if he
/ did get up courage to strike a blow ii
/ would not take long to fix him. They are
very proud of their navy and imagine
! il to be invincible; they refer TO our navy
| as a feet Of tubs.
Dr. May has great admiration for Gen.
Lee. and no threats or influence. he says,
| will induce him to swerve from his course
/ of duty Gen. Lee has received several
I threa tening letters. but he has not digni-
fed them by giving them the slightest
notice.

Philadelphia, April 3.-David Martins
game is the mayoralty.
His resignation from the Republican
City Committee must not be taken as a
retirement from politics. He says m
phaticaly he is not "out Of politics"
There can be little doubt but that he
anticipates a reform cyclone TO strike
the town at the November election, and
is determined to be relieved of the re-
sponsibility for the defeat Of any of the
candidates on the Republican city ticket
by not giving any excuse TO charge him
with debating the nomination.
That he, nevertheless, does not propose
TO relinquish his grip on the Republican
organization, If he can help IT, is quite
evident The defeat of one or more of
the Republican candidates might not
