Religious Enthusiast strips Himself
Naked and breaches on Broadway.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Religious excite
ment so affected Edward Parkinson, twenty
two years old that he took off all his cloth
ing in lower Broadway yesterday and stood
in the cold naked as the day he was born,
delivering an incoherent address to passers-
by Policemen succeeded in getting hold of
him after a good deal of trouble and dump
ing him into an express wagon on its way
up Broadway. He was taken to the station
house and thence to Bellevue Hospital,
Young Parkinson, so far as known enjoyed
excellent physical and mental health. The
sudden dementia developed yesterday is in
explicable. He attended Christmas day
services in Trinity Church, and, just before
TIE doxology was sung, walked quickly from
the pew he had occupied down the aisle and
out into Broadway. BY the time he reached
half way to Bowling Green he had stripped
himself of his clothing. The fashionable
congregation was just then coming out of
the church, ard crowd was attracted by
nude man. When the police got him to the
station house he refused to tell his name

said, who is not a disciple of Christ, like
myself. None of you believe in Him." In
order to soothe and not excite the young
man, the surgeon had recourse to strategy
The doctor skillfully changed the subject
and Parkinson talked nationally and calmly
about everything except the wearing of
clothing. On that point he was stubborn
and refused fatty to dress himself.

SPOKANE, Wash, Dec 26.-The govern

lands in severalty ON the Colville Indian
reservation, peopled by 900 Indians. Indian
Agent Anderson and Allotting Agent Harry
Humphrey have been trying for some time

Cable advices were received here to-day

the matter. General Otis reported that he

the future disposition of the territory, the
Spanish sovereignty over which has been

1T indicates very strongly that this gov
ernment is not committed in any way what-
ever with respect to the disposition and
government of these islands. If we are in-
sane enough to do so we might give them
all back to Spain after the ratification of
the treaty. If we were fools we might divide
them up among the other foreign powers.
The whole matter is left in the hands Of
Congress. Congress can make any disposi-
ton of the islands it sees fit. The ratification

Many Americans went over to see the dem
onstration. They did not remain long. Ow-
ing to the intense enthusiasm the populace
insisted on kissing the Bravo Americanos'
whether they wanted to be kissed or not.
Several affrays took place between the
Spanish residents and the Cubans. A gro
Gerry keeper on Oquendo street refused TO
put out the Cuban colors and was beaten al
most to death with sticks. AS evening came
on the demonstration became noiser than
ever, as many of the negroes parading were
drunk and greatly excited. The Americans
became fearful OF another clash with the
Spanish troops like that which ushered ir
Christmas day. Francisco Luintenso, a
Spanish volunteer patrolling the street near
the Prado, was fired at from a housetop and
killed. A Cuban was killed in another part
of the city. Half a dozen Cubans and Span
iards were shot or stabbed in affrays about
the city. There was fight between Cubans
and Spaniards i'm front of the United States
Club at midnight. Several of the partici-
pants were badly cut with machetes.
Many American soldiers who are in town
behaved so bosterously that General lud-

ture none would be admitted except en-

GREENE ExPECTs TROUBLE.
The General Fears "a Clash Between
Cubans and Spania rds.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 26-Maj. Gen.
Francis V. Greene. U. S. ", accompanied
by his aid, Lieut.. Schuyler Schiefferlin,
fantry, passed through this city to-day on
their way from Havana to New York city.
General Greene paid flying visit to the
War Department during the forenoon and
spent about an hour in consultation with
Adjutant General Corbin in regard to the
condition of affairs in the Cuban capital.
He said that there would undoubtedly be
trouble in the maintenance of order pend
ing the transfer of the control of affairs
from the Spanish government to the United
States military authorities, but that he did
not anticipate that it would reach proper
tions beyond the control of the American
forces. According to his representations the
feeling between the Spaniards and Cnbans
is intensely bitter, serious rupture be-
tween the two factions being averted only
by the presence of American troops and the
knowledge that the American military au-
thorities are determined to preserve order
by the prompt exercise of force in case of
necessity.
General Greene has large private interests
in new York State, and to-day gave notice
to the adjutant general of his desire to be
relieved from further military service in
view of the practical conclusion of peace
between Spain and the United States He
expects to return here Wednesday for the
purpose of further consultation with the au-
thorities in regard to the condition and mill
itary necessities in Cuba. If perfectly
agreeable to the President, he will then ten
der his resignation from the army.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-The question of su-

III. D. Ellxes, tho worlds hour champion, of
Glens Falls. N. Y, paced by regular pace
makers. and Jay Eaton and Eddy Goodman
paced by the French machine. Eaton was
chosen to ride the first ten miles behind the
petroleum motor cycle, but in the third
mile, when Elkes had a lead of more than
lap, the machine broke down, owing to
the swapping of strap which controlled the
running Of the machine, and then the in
terest in the contest Jagged. Soon afterward
Eaton fell in behind Elkes, and after he
had covered ten miles Goodman tackled
separate pacemakers. Goodman soon found
his pacemakers too slow, and tackled on be-
hind the Glens Falls rider, who was flying
around the track. At the end of the eight
eenth mile Elkes had lead of one mile,
but he did not relinquish his fast pace while
Goodman was taken up by fresh tandems.
In the last lap of the twentieth mile Elkes
rode ahead of his pacemakers, and finished

NICARAGUA CANAL REPORT.
Admiral Walker Says the COmmls@
siOners Difer as to Cost of work.

siOners Differ as to Cost of Work.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26-Admrai Walk
er, chairman of the Nicaraguan canal COM
mission, when questioned to-day as to the
time when the report of the COMMITTEES
would be sent to Congress said that the
time could not be stated definitely, as the
report had not been signed nor entirely conn
pleted He presumed however, that ID
would be ready within the next few days.
In answer to further inquiries the admiral
said there was no difference of opinion
among the members of the committee ex-
cept possibly on the question of cost and
that difference might be adjusted. so the
report would be unanimous on all points.
Owing to the illness OF Mr.. Haynes during
the last ten days practically nothing had
been done, but now that the committee was
together again a conclusion on this and
other points might be expected soon. Some
months ago Admiral Walker stated to q
committee of Congress that in his judgment,
the canal would not cost more than $125,-
100000. Another member of the COMMITTEES
fixed maximum at S1400000O0, but stated
that it might cost considerably less. The
opinion of the third member Of the COM
mittee was that the canal would not cost
more than $50 100000 All were agreed, how
ever that these figures were and could only
be approximations. There were too many
considerations and contingencies that might
change the result materially. An epidemic
of cholera or fever might lay off half the
working force; accidents to machinery or
possibly earthquakes might damage the
work in course of construction. and willis
none of these would be likely to happens
yet they were among the possibilities, and
in estimating the cost of the work rea~
sonable provision should be made for acci-
dents of various kinds. All members of the
committee, he said. are agreed that the con-
struction of the canal on the route pro-
posed is entirely feasible and should be-
prosecuted with all reasonable expedition.
