CHILEAN OFFICIALS
Protect the Gunboat Mariette From
Malicious Injury

Protect the Gunboat Mariette From
Malicious Injury
NEW YORK, April 15.-It is stated that
there was a plot here to injure the
United States gunboat Mariette while
she was in this port, says the Valparaiso
correspondent of the Herald.
Just prior to the arrival of the Marietta
the United States Consulate in valpa-
raiso was informed by trustworthy per-
sons that an attempt against the gunboat
was contemplated by Spanish subjects in
Chile.
Immediately upon receipt of the infor-
nation the United States Minister, Mr..
Henry L. Wilson, Consul John F. Caples
and vice-Consul August Muller, Jr.,
called upon the Governor of the province
and laid the matter before him. This ex-
plains the unexpected trip of the United
States Minister from Santiago to VAL
paraiso.
Once acquainted with the fears of the
American representatives and the facts
in the case, the Governor Immediately
gave assurance that the city and mari
time authorities would take precautions
to protect the Marietta and extended,
through the Minister, cordial welcome to
the officers and seamen. During the stay
of the Marietta no greater vigilance could
have been exercised by the Chilean Off
GERS had the safety of one of their own
warships depended upon them. Before
the gunboat sailed the American Minister,
Consul and Vice-Consul, accompanied by
Captain Symmonds, called upon the
Governor and on behalf of the Tinted
States government thanked the Chilean
authorities for what had been done to
protect the warship.

LEE WILL COMMAND
When United States Troops Are Or
dered to Havana


NEW YORK, April 15-The President
has decided to give Consul General Lee
the command of the Virginia volunteers
In the event that hostilities break out be-
tween this country and Spain, says the
Washington correspondent OF the World.
This decision was reached after con-
ference with Secretary Alger and num-
ber of military men.
The matter was first broached by q
friend Of the President, who suggested
that it would be good plan to give Gen.
eral Lee a command of some sort In case
Of war. The president consulted with
several friends. who advised him that it
would be impossible to appoint him to q
command in the regular army.
The President, who is stanch ad-
mirer Of General Lee, was nonplussed.
Finally the announcement was made from
the War Department that in the event
that volunteers were called for the Presi-
dent would appoint all officers Of the rank
Of Colonel and above and officers under
that would be appointed from the various
States from which the volunteers were
received. When the call IL issued Vir-
ginia, Lees State, will furnish her quota
and the President will designate General
Lee as the commander of the forces from
the Old Dominion.
Owing to Lees great knowledge Of the
typographical condition of the island of
Cuba it is more than likely that his com.
mand will be given orders to at once pro-
ceed to Cuba General Lee has announced
his willingness to return to Havana at the
head Of an invading army and doubtless
he will be allowed to go upon the outbreak
of hostilities.
A member Of the Senate proposes to in
troduce special act under which the
President may appoint General Lee
Major General of Volunteers.

CRANDALL'SMINESTORY
IS NOT FULLY CREDITED I'M
NAVY CIRCLES
The Chief Of the Secret Service Says
No Such Man Has Ever Been
Hunted For

CHICAGO, April denomination Of the
reported arrest of Weyler's alleged tor.
pedo agent. Crandall, alias Escardaro, u
difficult If not impossible here. There Is q
disposition among acquaintances Of John
Wilkie. the new chief of the United States
Secret Service, to credit him with the
arrest and some go so far as to assert that
he In person was probably one of the three
officers reported to have arrested Crandall.
Highwood, where the arrest Is described
as having taken place, Is a little hamlet
near Fort Sheridan. The people are largely
ex-soldiers and others having more or less
connection with the fort.
Capt. Porter, who has charge of the Fed.
eral secret service matters in Chicago, was
asked today as to the alleged arrest. Cap
tain Porter said he had no knowledge Of
such an event, and did not believe 1t had
taken place. At the office of Chief Of
Police Ripley, similar statements were
made.
Today Highwood was all astir over the
alleged arrest, but no such person as Cram
dali is remembered there and the frsl
inkling Of the matter came to Highwood
people today through newspapers. No in
cident remotely suggesting the alleged
arrest Is recalled.
The Baltimore and Ohio officials In Chi.
cago say they have no knowledge Of the
truth or otherwise Of the report of Cran-
dali and his captors going East from Chi
cago over the Baltimore and Ohio.

Epworth Leaguars

SAN FRANCISCO. April 15.-Prepara-
tions for holding the California conference
of the Epworth League in this city on April
21, %, 20 and "a are actively under way.
The leading members Of the league are
bent OH holding successful conference.
The California conference comprises vast
territory 400 miles in length and $50 miles
in breadth. Heretofore no attempt has
been made to bring together the league
workers. While formal conferences and
many inspiring and profitable district and
county conventions have been held the
need Of a greater gathering of the workers
of the entire conference has long been felt.
1t was therefore decided by the leading
officers of the organization to hold con-
ference convention in this city. 1t being the
central point. Arrangements have been
made with the lines of transportation for
the round trip.

TWENTY THOUSAND MEN
THE WHOLE FORCE AVAILABLE
TO ATTACK CUBA
SEVEN DAYS. TIME is NEEDED
To Land This Small Force-But It
Would Suffice for the Capture
of the Island
Associated Press Special Wire

Associated Press Special Wire
NEW YORK, April 15-If war should
be brought about within the next few
days the United States could send to
Cuba not more than 10000 to 10000
troops, says the Washington correspon-
dent of the Times. The fighting strength
of the standing army is now about 27,
900 men, but at least 1000 would have to
man the coast Notifications and the
heavy artillery which militia that could
be used for other purposes could not
handle. 1t is estimated that it would
take more than a week to land even this
small force in Cuba.
OF course it would take very much
longer to get together an army of volun-
teers. Militia is out of the question, in
the opinion of army officers. 1t would
require several weeks to organize, clothe
and arm, and drill in the necessary army
evolutions a body of volunteers large
enough to constitute an effective fight
ing force in the island. The plan of cam
paign that will probably be followed is
to form an immediate junction with the
revolutionary armies, equip them by
furnishing them with arms and am
on the Spanish forces. BY this way it
is thought that some decisive advantage
could be gained over the Spanish, foot
hold obtained and held until the arrival
of reinforcements and volunteers would
enable the American and Cuban forces
to sweep the Spanish army out of the
island.
The regular army of $4,000 or 10000
effective troops, it is. thought, would be
ample for this purpose. 1t will be per-
fectly safe to land them in Cuba as allies
of the revolutionary soldiers whose force
and effectiveness would then be doubled,
and it is quite probable that these forces
alone would be sufficient to dislodge the
Spaniards and free the island.
1t is estimated that the Spaniards have
125,000 to 100000, and the revolutionists
have somewhere between 10000 to 80, 900
soldiers under arms. A great disparity
would remain, even after the landing
of the $1,000 to 10000 American troops,
as the Spaniards would still have more
than two to one. But Gomez has said
that he could put 100000 men in the
field If he had rifles and ammunition for
them. Army officers are of the opinion
that If this country would furnish arms
and ammunition it could at once raise
in Cuba itself an effective force of SO,-
900 to 100, 900 men to operate against the
Spanish armies, which together with
the $4,000 to 10000 American troops ought
to be able to clean the dons out of Cuba
in very short order.
The most encouraging element of the
situation is found in the character Of
the troops with which Spain has sought
to subjugate the island. They are raw
forces, composed of boys under twenty
to large extent, and without discipline
or experience. With discipline they
would make the best of soldiers.
OF course, one plan of campaign that
the army is considering involves the
most energetic cooperation Of the fleet
of Captain Sampson, or at least large
part of it. The coast Of the island would
have to be swept clean Of Spanish troops,

IL possible. For the past month and a
half Spain has been pouring in troops
for just the emergency that is about to
confront her. 1t is said that some of the
last troops sent over are regulars, but
the number of seasoned troops now in
the island is very small and it will not
be Increased from this time on.
Affairs at Havana
, HAVANA, April Is, am.-The wea-
ther is cool and all is quiet here. The
Spanish cruiser Conde de Venadado ar
| rived here from Santiago de Cuba today.
An American citizen named Joaquin Be
tancourt was arrested yesterday
charged with bringing correspondence
from an insurgent camp. The British
Consul, Mr.. Gollan, in charge Of the
United States interests here, demanded
that the prisoner be released, and he
was accordingly granted his freedom.
The Commercio today says that while
the United States battleship Iowa was
engaged in gun-firing practices at Key
West recently turret fell off owing to
its suspenders giving way, causing n
panic among the crew, thinking it was
like the Maine, the effect of submarine
mine set by the Spaniards."
The same paper comments favorably
on "Don Carlos patriotic attitude"
1t has been decided that the colonial
government with the approval Of the
government at Madrid is to send Senors
Giberga, Dolz and Vionde, in the char
acter of parliamentarians, to treat with
the insurgents. If appointed, the Of
ficials mentioned will go to the insurgent
camp. It is reported that they may start
today.
Considerable anxiety is manifested
here as to the outcome of the Cuban
crisis and the final attitude which Pres
ident Mckinley will. assume. 1t is said
that the majority of the sugar estates
have finished gathering their crops. The
result is not yet known and only partial
success is expected owing to the lack of
laborers.

Fixing the Fighters
SAN FRANCISCO, April 15.-Seven-
teen hundred and fifty-four men are en-
rolled as workers at Mare Island, and
the officers are looking for more. There
are many applications for work at the

and few young men are rejected.
The work on the cruisers is steadily
progressing, but the navy officials can
not reach the expectations of the gov
ernment in regard to getting the ves-
sells into commission at stated time.
An army of men are at work on the
Charleston, and the cruiser is beginning
to look like fighting ship. 1t is
expected that she will be off the dry
dock by tomorrow, and that she will be
put in commission within ten days.
