TO RESCUE THE CUBANS.
Senator Chandler Seems to Think 1t Is All
Settled.

Concord, N. H.. March Ex-senator W..
E. Chandler, in an editorial in his paper,
the Evening Monitor, today, under the
caption, "The Cubans to be Rescued.
Sustain Mr.. President Mckinley. An
appeal from Senator Chandler" says:
"The people of New Hampshire with
out distinction of party should with on
accord support President Mckinley in the
action he is about to take in the name
OF the United States to relieve the devas-
tating famine and sickness which are
now sending to death the whole Cuban
population in the western provinces Of
the island. Read Senator Proctor's vivid
description on the horrors. Feeble women
and tattering children are no longer to
die from starvation and disease. Food,
medicine and clothing. given by the gem
erous people of the United States are to
save them. Relief will go with the ap-
proval of Spain il she consents, or will
be carried by American sailors and sold
iers without that approval if she does
not consent.
''To longer tolerate the existing cruel
ties will dishonor the American nation; ;
and, the end of starvation and torture is
near at hand. Every humane person in
this whole land should sustain and bless
the President in his coming proclama-
ton, which is to cause the name of VIII
liam Mckinley to be held in sacred rev.
erence by the Cuban generations as long
as will be revered the name of Abraham
Lincoln by the colored race in America.

A SENSATION PROMIsEO.
Investigations Reveal New Phase to
Freeport's Financial Affairs.
TspEcLAI TO THE PREss.J

Freeport, March 21.-An Investigation
is likely tn be made on the town books.
The books Eof George A. Miller, ex-uax
collector, have been looked into by ex-
perts who claim the town owes Mr..
Miller instead of there being shortage
OF $500 as was reported
The town reports for number of years
have not been satisfactory to the public,
and there is quite strong feeling among
the citizens to have experts put on the
books, going back q number of years as
they deem necessary. A town meeting is
expected to be called very soon to take
action about the Investigation. If such
an Investigation is made it is likely to
bring out many important facts in regard
to our finances which the people generally
have bsen ignorant of and may prove to
be sensational. 4

COST OF FoRTIFYING ToRTUGAs.

Washington, March 21.-An important
conference was held in the office of the
Secretary of War in regard to fortif1cation
OF Tortugas harbor. There were present
Secretary Alger. Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt of the Navy Department, Gen.
Miles, General Wilson, chief of engineers
and Col. H. NJ. Robert, corps of engi-
neers. A troublesome question has arisen
in connection with the proposed system of
fortificstions at Tortugas. The engineers
officers who have been investigating the
matter estimate that it will cost about
81 900, 600 and take nearly two years to
put the island in a proper state of defense
and his assistants hesitate to mbark on
an undertaking Of that extent unless the
navy department considers the work abb
soute]y necessary.

LOOKS DARK FOR SETTLEMENT

Lewiston, March 21.-There is no more
prospect of settlement of the strike
here today than 10 weeks ago. The weav-
ers at meeting this afternoon voted not
to go back to work. 1t has leaked out
that at conference with Agent Bean
held day or two ago the weavers were
assured they would be perfectly satisfied
in short time should they return to
work. No definite promises were made
and the weavers are still out. ssIta
Many of the operatives have handed
their names to the managers of.the cleo
tric road to be built here for positions on
the crew and take very hopeful view of
the situation. The relief committee re-
ports almost no suffering.

the same time saying quite emphaticaliy
that they had no positive information
on this point. Other senators thought
the recognition of Cuban independence
more probable than intervention. Al
most all expressed the view that some
action surely would follow the report
