Big FRAUD UNEARTHED.
City of Brooklyn Swindled Out
of $4,000.

New York, March 25.-In the Kings
county court in Brooklyn today II 10
indictments were handed down by the
grand jury against former city officials
and contractors of Brooklyn. District
Attorney Marean refuses to make known
the names of the persons indicted until
after they shall have been arrested 1t
is alleged, however, that the indictments
are the outcome of an investigation that
has been proceeding for some time into
the public works department of Brook
lyn.
1t is also said the indictments charge
a conspiracy by which the city was de-
frauded of $4,000 by means of fraudulent
contracts.
The records charge the $4,000 in ques-
ton to emergency work. The law re
Quired that all work, the cost of which
was to exceed s.. 600, should be awarded
by contracts, upon advertisement for the
regular time. To evade this law, it is
alleged, the officers of the Brooklyn city
works had been in the habit of ordering
work and paying for it in sums of $1,000.
Most of these small jobs and the money
for them fell into the hands of a firm that
appeared upon the books as Thomas Fra
zier & Co. a little detective work dis

each and divided the remainder of the
stakes, the entire amount of the entry
money being $5,O75.

out of twelve birds yesterday continued
today and was even more successful OF
the 13 birds which she shot at today
she grazed II and one fell dead out Of
bounds. OF the western delegation who
were conspicuous with drab sweaters
only one finished straight with 90 kills.
This was T. P. Latin of Rock Island,

Captain Jack Brewer, the worlds
champion, and Fred Gilbert, the cham
pion of America, did not get into the

excitement among the naval officers

The admiral himself knew nothing CT

Press dispatch. Captain Sampson was
notified of his promotion through the
same sources.
was somewhat of a surprise. That ofti-
Ger although of great eXpectance, was
hardly considered faVOrita for the
command of what many think will be a
fighting squadron. His health of late
has not been of the best. A high naval
officer said to the Associated Press cor
respondent:
Captain Sampson's appointment may
not be particularly popular but it is
one of the best things ever done by the
department. Under his reserve there
exists spirit of indomitable energy
and determination If it ever. comes to
fold.'
The appointment of Captain Robley
Evens, Fighting Bob to command
the Iowa, has created intense enthusi-
asm among the younger naval element
and caused great satisfaction all
around. Rear Admiral Sicard will re
turn home on waiting orders, and the
Iowa probably will remain the flag
ship.
The pathos of Rear Admiral Sicard's
retirement at this critical stage ap-
peals to all who have known or served
under him. One naval officer said this
evening:
1T was evident that the admiraPs
failing health made it impossible for
him to retain command at this trying
juncture- But the way in which he has
struggled against bodily ailments in
the endeavor to devote the closing
months of a splendid 40 years service
to active duty is silent chapter of he
roism as gallant as any victory in naval
history"
As the long days of waiting for the
report dWindle into hours, the suspense
at this naval rendezvous grows in
tense. Passengers from Havana report
the same condition there. Some fear
that if the court finds that the Maine
was blown up Intentionally a riot will
follow the announcement at Havana.
This forbOding, however. is merely in
line with pessimistic rumors which have
had more credence here than in the
Cuban capital.

HOPES M'KINLEY WILL WAIT
Spain Would Like to Exchange a Few
Letters First.

New York, March 25.-A dispatch to
the World from Madrid says:
The feeling among statesmen and
financiers is pessimistic. Even the
most moderate of the newspapers and
the friends of the ministers admit that
American-Spanish affairs have entered
upon a very critical stage.
The council of ministers decided to
send by cable note to Washington, ex-
pressing surprise, the Impartial reports,
at receiving a request for permission to
destroy the wreck of the Maine before
the two governments have cOmmuni-
Gated officially to each other the reports
of their respective commissions of in
vestigation, with data, essential to de-
termine subsequent action.
Spain hopes President Mckinley will
await the customary exchange of cor
respondence before seeking to begin ne
gOtiations on a matter requiring the ut
most sincerity, because Spain's honor
and dignity demand public recognition
of the honesty of her acts and inten-
tiOns.
It is probable that the note dwells on
the damage done Spanish plans in Gu

tions and movements of American ves-

morning, and it is feared it may cause

The ex-senator, accompanied by mem
bers of his family, yesterday attended
the launching of the battleships at
Newport News, and this morning re-
turned to Washington. While walking
from the boat to his carriage, he suf-
fered a stroke of paralysis of the heart

partial consciousness and at 1 O'Clock
his condition was still considered pre-

II VESSELS BOUGHT.
Secretary Long Spends Million for
Tugs and Yachts.

New York, March 25.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
By direction of President Mckinley,
Secretary Long spent something more
than a million dollars Thursday in the
purchase of II speedy yachts and sea-
going tugs, which will be at once con-
verted into torpedo boat destroyers and
picket boats.
In directing the purchase of yachts
and tugs, President Mckinley was
guided by the information showing that
the Spanish torpedo fiotilIa has sailed
from the Canary islands for Porto
Rico.
Before this information came to hand
the authorities were not willing to pay
the high prices asked by the owners of
yachts and tugs which had been in
spected and recommended for purchase
by the auxiliary cruiser board, but the
necessity of improving a torpedo fleet
to offset that which Spain is sending to
Porto Rico was so apparent that the
president authorized that negotiations
be closed and that the vessels be pur-
chased without further delay.
Secretary Long at once telegraphed
to Capt. Rodgers, president of the
board and received a telegram an
nounclng that the bargains had been
closed and that the vessels would at
once be turned over to the government
at the Brooklyn navy yard.

THE Cuban question is not our busi-

AT the same time it effects us doub-

tries which are brought face to face by
this irritating question On the one
hand is the queen regent, a sovereign,
worthy to be compared with the great
est sovereign at the head of a sister
people, toward whom we are drawn by
affinities of race. On the other hand
the generous people of a sister repub-

so dear to our hearts. There as else

strength. peace"

WHAT MASON WOULD DO
He Would Never Allow That Spanish
FlotilIa to Reach Cuba

Washington, March Ex-senator Ma
son of Illinois was one of the first to
learn that the Spanish torpedo fOtilla
has left the Canaries. Later, when ask
ed what he thought of this action by
Spain, he said:
TT means that they are coming to
this side either to fight the insurgents
or to fight US. The insurgents are in
the mountains and the torpedo boats
will hardly be used to fight them unless
they succeed in putting wings on them.
That seems to narrow down the pur-
pose of their coming. I do not know
what the naval authorities intend to do
about this movement, but if I had my
way, that torpedo f1otilla would turn
back if it took every ship in the United
States navy to stop them"

Criticism of the System of Assisting

Rubons, consul of the Cuban junta, says
in regard to the sending of supplies to
Cuba:
1.-The sending of relief supplies to Gu
ba is not so much Intervention as as
sistance to the Spanish government. It
enables Spain to spend for munitions of
war to fight the Cubans, and possibly
the United States money which human
ity dictates should go to the ameliora-
tion of the condition of the reconcentra-
dos.
$50 long as we feed the reconcentra-
dos, they will be held as such by Spain.
We must feed them or Spain will StarVe
them, or else we must intervene"
