MISS CLARA BARTON.
The Red Gross Society's President
Arrives ut Havana.

HAVANA, Aug. 26 - The steamer
Clinton arrived to-day with Miss Clara
Barton, Mr.. Elwell, Mr.. Cottrell, the
Misses Gray, and a number of others
belonging to the society.
Miss Barton, accompanied by three
members of the party, visited the civil
Governor, Ferdinand de Castro, and
had a long conversation with him re-
garding the condition of the poor
classes and the means employed for
their relief
In reply to a remark of Miss Barton,
the Governor said that outside relief
for HaVanas poor was not needed, as
what was supplied by the Colonial
Government and the people was suffi-
cient for their necessities. "As to The
interior towns said the Governor,
that Is another matter. The suffer-
ing classes have increased in number
in consequence Of the war, and there
is scarcity of provisions among them
to which you can attend, since you are
animated by high spirit of charity
Miss Barton replied, expressing her
appreciation of the Governors re-
marks, showing that he realized the
Importance Of the Red Cross Society S
humanitarian service.
Yesterday the free kitchens in Ha-
vana distributed over $4,000 rations.
Last night a bazar was inaugurated,
having for it's object the raising OF
funds for the relief Of the poor. The
civil Governor was one of the patrons
Of the bazar. The building in which
the affair was held was filled to its
utmost capacity, and a large crowd
had assembled outside. An American
merchant has given twenty-five bar
rels of potatoes, and Miss Clara Bar
ton has offered fifty barrels for use in
the free Kitchen.
Miss Barton, accompanied by num-
Der of her party, went this morning
to Matanzas. The remainder of the
Red Cross delegation remained on
board the Clinton at Havana.

TO ENDURE HOT WEATHER.
Find an Absorbing Occupation and
You Will Never Feel the Heat.

When early hours give warning of
day of great heat the most sensible
thing to do is to plan forthwith some
really absorbing occupation to ill the
hours of trial." advises Ella Morris
Kretschmar in her practical talks to
housekeepers in the "Woman's Home
Companion"
while in the main it is we'll to re-
gard summer time as the proper season
for pleasant idling, when temperature
conditions become intolerable the sur
est refuge is congenial and absorbing
occupation. The antidote that stands
next is d deeply interesting book Who
has not forgotten entirely the without

SPANISH COMPLAIN.
Accuse the Americans Of Unf1led
Promises at Santiago.

LONDON, Aug. G.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Daily Mall says
the officers and soldiers who have re-
turned from Santiago de Cuba, bitterly
accuse the Americans of untitled prom
ises made at the time of the capitula-
ton of Santiago.
The Americans, they say, forced the
Spanish troops to encamp on spot
where hundreds of corpses of the Span
ish defenders of Ell Caney were buried.
The rains almost unearthed the BODIES,
the stencil from which produced an
epidemic.
The Americans, the Spaniards assert,
kept the latter without food. and the
officers received only timed sardlnes.
Most of them who returned are seri-
ously i'll from the effects of prolonged
hunger Several die daily.
TIE Government las resolved. the cor
respondent says, to appoint the ex-
Spanish Consul at Key West as diplo-
matte agent at Washington until peace
shall have been signed.

Preparing Elaborate Arguments Against
Transfer of Case to Delaware.
Will Make a Desperate Fight on
Behalf of Their Client to Pre-.
vent Her Extradition-The Or
deal of Confinement in Jail ON
Charge of Murder Has Little
Appreciable Effect on Her
Nerves.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26. = The
police of this city are working hard
to perfect the local end of the Botkin
case before Detective McVey arrives
from the East with the reQuisition pa
perS for Mrs. Botkin's extradition. As
sistant District Attorney Dunno is pre-
pairing to aid the authorities in every
way and at the same time Mrs. Bot
kin's attorneys are preparing an elab-
crate argument against a transfer OF
the case to the Delaware courts.
Attorney Dunno has requested Chief
Lees to get a more definite status of
the case from the Delaware officials,
and to that end the following was tele-
graphed to Attorney General White OF
Delaware to-day, asking for the atii-
davits in the case on the following
points:
Separate affidavits from all parties
knowing any facts tending to show
who committed the crime, to wit: From
Postoffice authorities of date of receipt
of box, to whom delivered, by whom
delivered to the victims, who partook
of candy, date of deaths, with causes,
names of victims, attending physicians
on deceased; that candy contained
poison; affidavits from chemists
analyzing candy. date of analyses,
with results; parties present at eating
of candy. All these, with such other
affidavitS obtainable concerning proof
of guilt as would be sufficient to hold
the defendant to answer before mag
istrate for final trial; and must be at
tached to and made part of the requi-
sition papers, properly exemplified by
magistrate and County Clerk and au-
thenticated according to law"
Mrs. Botkin's attorneys will make
desperate fight in her behalf, and Chief
Lees wants to have his side of the
case prepared on strictly legal infor-
nation.
Mrs. Botl1in spends a great deal of
her time in perfecting the gorgeous
ness of her attire. She changes her
gowns frequently. and to all outward
appearances is not in the least nervous.
She, however, takes great deal OF
interest in the case, and reads every
line published in the newspapers. She

attorneys but the ordeal has SO far
