AFFAIRS Of Cuba Is not here now. It never
will come" said Senator Thurston to a re-
porter.
This morning wired Senator Allenfo
announce that would speak on the Cuban
question in the senate next Thursday"
The senator says that the only solution
of the trouble is intervention, unless the
people Of the United States want to look
on and see the work of starvation already
so far advanced completed. The recon-
centrados are absolutely without hope, and
If the death lists in any part of the island
are decreasing it is only because the ma
terial for starvation to work upon is giving
out. All that the reconcentrados can now
do with their homes and implements de-
stroyed by fire, their little farms devastat-
ed and growing in weeds, their stock driven
off to furnish food for the Spanish soldiers
and themselves emaciated and diseased,
is to remain In their pens with look of
quiet despair and take the little food that
they can get, sent by the charity of the
United States.
1t is perfectly true says the senator, that
the insurgents practically have the whole
island. All that the Spanish hold is Ha-
vana, and even while the congressional
party was there there was fighting in the
suburbs of that city.
Senator Thurston was asked what effect
would have in increasing the
volume of the insurgent movement. He
said that it would have some effect in that
direction. for then the Cubans generally
would rise and declare themselves.

THE vEsUvIUS
Will Join the Squadron at Hampton
Roads

Roads
WASHINGTON, March 21.-Lieut. Com
mander j. E. Pillsbury, commanding the
dynamite cruiser Vesuvius which has just
arrived at the Washington navy yard from
Florida, was at the navy department today
in conference with the officials regarding
the future of his unique craft. The pneu-
matte gear used in operating the dynamite
tubes is undergoing repairs, which it is
calculated will take about two weeks
time. 1t is considered probable, in view of
the speed power of the Vesuvius, that she
may be attached to the so-called flying
squadron, which. it is alleged, is soon to
assemble at Hampton roads. According
to present plans, the squadron will consist
of the battleships Massachusetts and Tex
as and the cruisers Brooklyn, Minneapolis
and Columbia The Vesuvius would be
perfectly at home in such company, being
much faster than either of the battleships
and nearly the equal in speed of the pen
nant holders Minneapolis and Columbia.
Although no orders to that effect have
been given, it is generally believed in ma
val circles that Commodore Howell will be
assigned to the command of this fleet He
was recently in command of European
squadron, which has just been abandoned
by the recall to the United States of the
three vessels comprising it, the San Fran
cisco, the Helena and the Bancroft. Com
modore Howell is now on the San Fran
cisco and will accompany her on her cruise
to the United States as the convoy of the
cruiser New Orleans, formerly the ANA
zonas of the Brazilian navy. 1t is ex-
pected that these vessels will now start
from England on their voyage across the
Atlantic ocean, and the probabilities are
that they will make Hampton roads their
destination,

A CUBAN REFUGEE
DR.. Chado Talks Concerning the Maine
Explosion

| NEW YORK, March 21.-Dr. Frank
Chado, who for the past two years has
served as surgeon general, with the rank
of colonel, in the Cuban army under Gen.
eral Garcia and who was present when
young Gomez committed suicide on see
ing his leader, General Maceo, fail. is in
this city.
Colonel Chado came by the steamship
Concha, taking passage at Havana. He
eluded the vigilance of the Spanish author
tiles and travelled under an assumed name
Colonel Chado, in an interview, said:
"I have heard nothing Of the stories pub
lished in this country of the distress in
Cuba and of the thousands that have died
and are dying of starvation. Nothing has
been published, nothing that could be pub
lished, could tell the story as 1t really Is.
IT know of my own knowledge that in
many sections of Cuba they are digging
up the earth for the worms that they may
find. 1t is not every one who is able to
dig. Most of the people are so weak tina.
they are unable to move.
'"They are dying by the thousands-not
the men who were doing or hope to do the
fighting that eventually must end in trl-
umph but the poor women and children,
anu tHc udOo' Asoi' 80 S'SAy
where visible.
Spain has been guilty of acts that must
make civilization stand appalled,. and the
fact is that they are infinitely worse off
today than at any time since the war be-
gan. Victory is certain for the Cubans in
the near future"
OF the present feeling among Spaniards
at Havana, Col. Chado said it was becon-
ing more hostile for Americans every day
There is a feeling among them,' he
said, "that the United States is afraid to
fight and that they can do anything they
please.
~ am as firmly convinced as a man can
be that the Maine horror was not due to
any submarine mine. This belief is shared
by all Cubans-that the Maine was blown
up by a torpedo. Further, believe that
the torpedo came from the Spanish warship
Alfonso XIII.
LAS to our reasons for thinking so:
First, there is the fact that the night before
the Maine explosion the Alfonso, which
had been anchored near, was moved to
safe distance away.
Second, the fact that not once since the
day of the explosion has any seaman or
marine from the Alfonso been allowed to
go ashore. The only inference is that the
officers are afraid the sailors might be-
come intoxicated and talk too much"
Col. Chado has come to New York for
medical and surgical treatment, his right
arm, side and leg being paralyzed from
privation, exposure and wound. He is
a native Cuban and one of the most active
of insurgents. His wife and three children
will remain in Havana.

CROLY'S CASE
The Wounded Man Has q Chance for
Life

SACRAMENTO, March 2.-E. J. Croly,
who on Sunday night was shot twice by
a burglar, was at last accounts resting
easily, and the attending physicians BAY
there is a bare possibility Of his recovery
The evidence against Leroy and Searight,
who were arrested early this morning, is
conclusive, and there seems to be no loop
hole of escape for the suspects. Darwin
the ex-convict who came from Marysville
with them, had a talk with Leroy, the
man who did the shooting, tonight, part
of which was overheard by the officer.
Leroy admitted to Darwin that he and
Searight burglarized Croly's house, and
said they effected an entrance through
front window, over a small bench. When
asked how many times he shot the old
man he laughed but made no reply He
said at first that he had hidden the re-
volver with which he did the shooting In
a lumber yard. but subsequently, evidently
growing suspicious, said he had thrown 1t,
together with the tools used, in the river.
A dark lantern was found in Croly's back
yard, where 1t had been thrown by the
burglars, and the clerk in a local store
who sold it has identified Searight as the
man who bought 1t. Feeling is running
high against the thugs.

SAN FRANCISCO, March M.-There II
great interest manifested in the result Of
the fight between Peter Jackson and Jim
Jeffries. which will be decided at Wood
wards pavilion tomorrow night Both
men have finished their work in preparing
for the contest, and from now until they
meet in the ring will take matters easy.
jackson has undergone a six weeks prep

many admirers. he has shown great form
in the last week or ten days. In fact, he
has shown such good form in his practice
that those who thought him has been"

ing Is concerned, has lost none of his clev-
erness or agility. still having those quick.
peculiar blows that won him so many bat
ties. jackson will weigh about 1856 pounds.
He has taken OF but ten or fifteen pounds.
A close observer Of pugilism, has this to
say Of Jackson's chances: There is no
doubt that the contest depends In jack
sons vitality. II he can prove that in his
case all precedents concerning age and
fast living Of pugilists do not ably to him.
then he should prove the winner. believe
that Jackson will endeavor to make the
contest short one, realixing that the
longer 1t lasts the better 1t will be fon
Jeffries. However. II Jehries decides to
force matters he will find jackson a de-
fensive fighter who has no equal among the
heavyweights. and while Jeffries may
rough 1t a little, he will not rush a la Shar-
key. Youth and strength are the two prin-
cipal aids that Jim Jeffries will have on
his side. His youth and strength will be
pitted against the science Of jackson, and
the rule has generally been that youth tells
more than anything in pugilistic encoun-
ters, where both men are more or less ex-
perienced. Jeffries has trifie the advant-
age in height and some in weight. He Is
half an inch taller than jackson, measur-
ing feet inch, and weighs more by about
twenty pounds. He will enter the ring at
215 pounds. All these things considered. 1t
will be contest between the two largest
men in the pugliistic world today. and
has been very aptly styled The battle Of
the giants
The betting favors Jeffries at 10 to 8.
with the prospects of the odds evening

SAN FRANCISCO, March 21.-Willian
Sproule, freight traffic manager Of the
Southern Pacific company, is lying at his
home in this city seriously Ill.
Mr.. Sproule's illness is due to series OF
complications arising from a most peculia,
accident.
A short time ago he left San Francisco or
tour of inspection along the lines Of the
Southern Pacific: When in Yuma. Ariz
he was late in making a train, and as II
was pulling out of the depot he endeav'
ored to catch it by running. However, ht
slipped. and, in running, severely
strained himself. When he returned to this
city several days ago he complained Of not
feeling well. He grew worse and was TAX
en- quite i'll, being obliged to keep to his
bed. Symptoms of pneumonia developed
but the physicians insist that 1t is only la
grippe.
This morning Mr.. Sproules condition was
such that no one, not even his most in
innate friends, was admitted to see him.
