A CUBAN PRoTECToRATE.
Vice President Capote Says the Gu
bans VIII Not Object

New York May 2S.-The World has the
following from Kingston. Jamaica:
The World correspondent saw Senior
Mendez Capote, vice president of the Gu
ban Republic, as he was released from
quarantine this morning
He said that the question of an Ameri-
can protectorate had not yet been con-
sidered.
81 can say, however, said Senor Ca
pote that if such be the desire of the
American Government, the Cubans will
offer no opposition"
He authoritatively denied as a mali
cious fabrication the story that Gomez
does not desire an American invasion
He says that, on the contrary. it is what
all are expecting and praying for.
THE government will be glad to re-
ceive such assistance" he said. land ali
forces are being held in readiness to CO.
operate wherever and whenever the
American Army effects a landing"
Senior Capote asked the correspondent
to convey to the American people and
the American newspapers the highest ap-
probation of the Cuban government and
the people for their timely aid and gen.
erous sympathy.

NO FURTHER DELAY.
The President Favors the Immedi-
ate Invasion of Cuba.

The inva sion of Cuba Is. in a measure.
to be made contingent upon the wiping
off the seas of the fleets of Cervera- If.
however. nothing is heard from Sampson
or Schley by Saturday the invasion will
not be delayed longer.
The President is desirous OF relieving.
as far as possible. the suffering of the re-
concentrates and others who suffer from
the blockade Siege. and it is believed that
he will not permit the delay to be Of
much longer duration.
General Miles is known to favor
prompt movement upon Cuba as soon as
the Spanish ships have been disposed of.
Their presence in Cuban waters at this
time, he urges. is a menace to the
work of transporting troops the
possible capture of which would seriously
hinder the plans of the Administration.
The President this morning stated to a
caller that he did not believe the army
of invasion would suffer more in the mi
asmic plains of tropical Cuba than in
their several camps now established, and
that he was disposed to disregard all
pleas for further delay on that score.

CALIsTHENIcs IN SCHOOL.
Drills Objected to by Pastor Us
Against Morals.

Easton, Md. May 23.-There is trouble
in one of the public schools on Tilghman's $
Island becaus calisthenics are used in the
school as a mode of physical culture. 1t
is bitterly opposed by the Rev W. w
Chaires, pastor of the Methodist Church.
who is a patron of the school, especially
when practiced by the girl pupils on the
ground that it teaches children to dance
and induces them to become fond of dane
ing, which he considers immoral. and
which is against the rules of his denomi-
nation. School Commissioners Nichols
and Dodson invited the patrons of the
school to meet them in the schoolroom
a few days ago to have the matter inves-
tigated. Mr.. Chaires was there, with
others. The commissioners directed Miss
Jackson. the teacher, to put her pupils
through the physical culture drill. When
it commenced Mr.. Chaires al once left the
building. The commissioners sustained
Miss Jackson and commended the modest
and gentle calisthenic drill she employed.

Queer. Impair the farmer, and you
diminish the amount of money in the

man object TO this3
This organisation is not selfish or
partisan In it's politics; it extends a
hand Of welcome to brothers and listers
of any political or denominational
name, and asks all who have a heart
of sympathy for suffering humanity TO

low man from sorrow caused by the
invasion of starvation and an untimely
death.
The second day vas one long to be
remembered. By ten o'clock a nice
crowd was present., and the exercises,
which were public, soon began, and
the house was soon crowded to over
flowing, We had five or six addresses
from farmers, and two excellent essays
from farmers girls.
The occasion vas one of an impressive
character, and the best of attention
was given, while the eyes Of many
good citizens were filled with tears.
This was not a frolic, or a dance, or
an assemblage of fools, or a service of
nonsense, but q collection of loyal citi

We had number of ladies present

had two sumptuous dinners and the
best of entertainment over night, and
we never ate better rations at any Of
the ecclesiastical conventions; bat then
farmers have ib all TO raise, anyway.
The Alliance is not near dead, as
some suppose. At our July meeting
there was a gain Of over twenty five
