PLENTY OF GOOD REASONS
Why President Opposed the Recognition OF
the Cuban Republic.

Washington. April 20.-It was learned.
today, from an administration source.
just why the President was DESTROYS OF
avoiding express recognition Of the Cuban
republic Aside from the reasons that
have been set forth in the debates in Con-
srcss. mostly based on constitutional
questions there were two very important
practical considerations that affected the
Presidents direction.
The first was purely military consider

States army and naval forces would oper-

Cuban republic. ut a great disadvantages
instead OF moving under Il free rein the
military forces would be obliged TO treat
with the officials of the Cuban republic at

The Planters or Louisiana Have Had n Profit
able Season.
Il ORLEANS, La, Jan. 5.-All but a half
dozen Of the sugar plantations in Louisiana
have finished their grinding and tho manufac-
ture of sugar and molasses. The indications
are of a crop Of from 325, 600 to $50, 900 tons.
slightly in excess of last year, and nearly
equalling the crop of 1s94-95, the largest pro-
duced in the State. The molasses yield will DO
from %. 1000. 900 TO %. 200. 900 barrels, of which
100000 will be open kettle OF good quality,
and the remainder centrifugal molasses.
The tonnage Of cane was below the average,
ranging from 10 to % tons an acre, but the
yield of sugar has increased. being an average of
1855 pounds a ton in Lafourche,, 14o In West
Baton Rouge. $50 in East Baton Rouge. $50 in
Iberia. 100 in 1beryille, l95in'St, Mary and III
In TerrebOnne, and 16S in the State. The ar-
ernge grade OF sugar is better than last year,
the price much advanced. and a good profit re-
turned the sugar growers.
The result has been an advance of from 90 to
% per cent. in sugar property. many old planta-
tions being brought under cultivation that have
been idle since the civil war. Many plantations
have already begun planting. and the acreage
for the next crop will be increased as compared
with 1897 at least 1S per cent. Last years
acreage was about 8 per cent. above that Of

Mrs. BisaelI Says Her Husbands Affection for
Her Ended with Her Money.

Mrs. Bissell, the application of whose hus-
band, +. V. n. Bissell, for custody of their three
children is being heard by Justice Cohen Of the

terday. Mr.. Bissell alleges that he caught his
wife with IA man Mt the st. Cloud Hotel on Dec.

home with the children. He maintains that she
is an unfit guardian of the children. She says
she was decoyed to the hotel on the pretcnce
that she was to meet her husband there.
When they were married In 1888 she sayA she
was only 17years old. Soon after she came into
an income of 81 800 a year by the will OF her
father, and she AYERS that 1t was her money that
maintained Mr.. Bissell and the family for years.
She let him have from time to time $3s, 900 TO
claims to have lost the money, All she has now
is an income of 5000 "A year. When her money
was gone she says her husbands love seemed to
grow cold. and he remained out until all hours
OF tho night, drank to excess: and finally ad-
mitted improper relations with other women.
With the assistance of her mother she declares
that she is well able to care for the children, and
is a more suitable guardian for them than her
husband.

STARTED r. ES FOR FUN.
John Davis. Pyromaninc. Caught mt His oil
Tricks in brooklyn.


John Davis, a pyromaniac, started two fires
early yesterday morning at go Grand street,
williamsburg. for tho finn of seeing the fremen
turn out. Ex.Supcrvisor Lawrence F. Carroll
has q saloon on the ground floor Of the house,
an association named after him has its head
quarters on the next floor, and the other two
floors are occupied by James Sheridan and John
Campbell.
Davis is % years old and lived with q married
sister at 122 South First street. Two years ago
he set fire to n pile of boxes in the cellar of
O'Donnell's grocery at Broadway and South
Eighth street. He waited until there was a
bright blaze and then turned in an alarm from
a box in front Of the place. On the arrival Of
the firemcn he showed them where the fire was.
He was suspected of arson and arrested. After
being questioned he confessed and also acknowl-
edged that he had turned in the false alarms Of
fire that had bothered the firemen and police for
a month previous. He gave as n reason for his
acts that he delighted in seeing engines running
to a are. Tho Grand Jury indicted him for
arson, but his relatives persuaded Judge Aspin-
all to suspend sentence, on their promise to send
him into the country and watch over him. Davis
was away until recently.
On Tuesday night he attended a reception
given by the Carroll Association. When the
affair came to an end, an hour after midnight he
went up 10 see inc sheridan FAMILY ON the thlrd
floor. Just before 2 A. NJ. he left their rooms
and went down to the second floor. where he
broke into a storeroom belonging to Carroll and
set fire to some straw. When the straw began
to blaze he shouted "Firc!" and hurried from the
house to the headquarters of Chemical Engine
i, at South First street and briggs avenue,
with the alarm. Foreman James Collins or
dered out the apparatus and the fire was cXtin-
Ruished before much damage had been done.
The fire was attributed to spontaneous com
bustion.
Davis returned to the rooms of the Sheridans,
where no remained for nearly an hour. Then
he went up to the fourth floor. where he set fire
to n quantity of paper in q lavatory. After
shutting the door OF the room he went back to
the sheridans. Fifteen minutes later John
Campbell was awakened by the smoll of smoke.
The l~avatory was in a blaze, and tho fire had
spread to the roof. Pending the arrival OF the
1remen Davis began giving orders for putting out
the fire. Daniel Carroll, a son OF the former
Supervisor, seized him and accused him of start
ing both fires. The fire was extinguished after
damage to thu extent of 81 200 had been done.
Davis WINS taken to the Bedford avenue police
station. where he confessed and said he started
the fires Just to see the engincs run" He was
held on q charge Of arson. His mental condition
will be watched by the doctors in Raymond
Street Jail.

brewer Arnold. Who Died worth $3.50, 900.
Tucked This sum AWAY.

HAzLEToN. Pa, Jan. 5.-While one of the sons
of the late brewer John Arnold. who died two
days ago, was rummaging in an old bureau he
found. to his surprise, a pile of gold coins. which,
upon being counted, was found to amount to
SIS, 900. None of the members of the family had
any knowledge Of the existence Of this hoard.
surmised that Mr.. Arnold. who was of u reti.
cent nature. hid away this money unknown TO
any one, with the vague notion that Lo might
need 1t some day. As he died worth over $3.50,
900. this necessity never arose, and he probably
forgot its existence. lie failed to mention It's ex-
istencc to any one. As he died intestate 1t will
go to tho natural heirs with tho rest OF the
estate.
