JOHN BROWN MEMORIAL.
deputy Sheriff Ham Makes an Interesting Address
atA N. {. Zion Church al Paterson.

Deputy Sheriff Franklin b. Ham
who is the manager of the Rhode ISL
and branch Of the John Brown Memo
rial Association, went to Paterson, ".
j., and on Monday evening delivered
an address in the A. M. Il. Zion church
| of that city. on John Brown as Com
| pared with Other Great Heroes"
Mr.. Ham said: IL is the consensus
of opinion of the intelligent, not only
the white but the colored race, that
| John Brown was dvinely sent to burst
the door that held the people in bondage
| and that his life was offered as a sacri-
| flee for the emancipation of the slaves
In this country There were three par
ties 10 this transaction. The Father,
the poor slaves and John Brown. God
heard the cry of the people and their
friends. He has done His part. He
sent His messenger or forerunner John
Brown. He acted well his part. He
fulfilled his mission. lie paid his life.
The people are free. There is yet one
more part to act I'm the matter. Ii is
the part you, the people, have got to
act. What have the people done for
the sacrifice? What mark OF respect
have the people shown? Wherein have
they praised the Father for their deliv-
erer? Wherein have they shown by
their appreciation Of his kindness.

Naval Questions

some of the powers have decided to support
the Spanish contention that the Cuban
blockade is invalid because it is Intellectual.

Dictatorship Sure
HENAYE. FRANCE, NEAR THE
SPANISH FRONTIER, May 7.--Advices
which have just been received here from
Madrid by mail, in order to escape the
Spanish censor, say the general opinion In
Madrid is that a military dictatorship Is
coming, in order to contend against the
spreading disturbances arising from hum
ger, the defeat of the Spanish fleet at
Manila, and the political plots of various
descriptions. 1t Is added that Marshal
Martinez Compos. former Captain-General
of Cuba. will probably be the head of the
dictatorship, and that he will be supported
by Cabinet composed in the main Of mill
itary men, as the last chance of saving
the dynasty.
AS for General Weyler, who has been
looked upon as aiming to become mill
tary dictator, 1t is said his ambition will
be quieted by the offer Of an important
command in the Peninsula. At the same
time 1t is pointed out that Weylers ac-
ceptance of a subordinate position is doubt
full, in which case he may have to be dealt
with In some other manner.
Provincial Riots
MADRID, May 7. a. m.--the provinces
are still in a state of disorder. Renewed
rioting is reported from various points

The feeling is especially bitter against

Simply Stagnant
NEW YORK, May IA dispatch to the
Herald from Madrid says:
Everything is despairingly quiet here.
Communication with Manila is out off and
the news from Cuba is of the most unin-
teresting character.
Naturally the news that the Alfonso XIII
had arrived at Porto Rico has caused great
satisfaction, but, this apart, nothing has
happened since Monday that is even worthy
Of note.
The government, by placing the city in
the hands Of the military, has completely
cowed those who sought to promote disor-
der. and not one demonstration has been
made since it was made clear that no mercy
would be shown to agitators.

not only had the guns, but they had the
modern strength and destructiveness,
and guns only in name. 1t serves to show
that in the warfare of today a nation must
have weapons of the most modern pattern,
else It is at a terrible disadvantage and its
men are practically at the mercy OF an
enemy having all the latest appliances of
destructive warfare. 1t is the lesson OF
solferino over again, and this time Spain
learns it."
