SPOKE HIS MIND.
Grard Duke Vladimir Criticised in His
 Own Presence.

A refreshing story is told in the col lnns of the Frankfort Gazette: The gar ,ntrusted Count PahIan, a liberal minded man, with an inquiry into the causes of the terrible disaster at Mos COW on the occasion of the coronation, and the count did not hesitate to tell his majesty, in the presence of Grand Duke Vladimir, that he would have done letter not to put the superintendence of he coronation festivals into the hands If the grand duke. This frank declara- ion staggered the emperor. who asked Count Pahlen to advance his reasons. The count answered: ''The grand 'uIzes are in their right place in the lrmy and navy, but if they have to dn with purveyors ard purveyance they must be cheated" The Grand Duke Vladimir protested against this, but smilingly Count Pahlen reminded him of his own bad eXnerience in connec- ton with the building of the memorial church to Alexander IT.

He succeeded ir Nearing up the dark affair. but when the investigation begun to take a very disagreeable turn it was determined to submit, it not to the ordinary court of justice, but to the ministerial council in other words, to burke it.

officers of Gen. Garcia came here to confer with Gen. Miles. At tha time Garcia and Rabbi wers at Bay amo in the west part of Santiago province and more than 100 miles northwest of Santiago de Cuba. Admiral Sampson's dispatch shows that Rabbi and his force had made a complete circuit of antiago de Cuba and coming up to the south it has occupied Accerraderos. This is looked upon as fine military stroke for Accerraderos is the point with an iron wharf and will afford facil- ities for unloading hea " artillery carried by Gen. Shafter's invading expedition.
 The news also indicated to the au- thorities here that the Spanish gar rison at Santiago has practically re- treated inside the city proper, giv- ing up the outlaying towns. Ad- miral Sampson also states that Gen. Garcia is cooperating with the Am erican forces. Whether this means that Garcia himself has arrived from Bayamo is not quite clear, but if he has the joint forces of Garcia and Rabbi will have 5000 seasoned Cubans recently armed with Spring fields as a bushwhacking guerilla force to aid the American troops. From sources other than the dis patch of Admiral Sampson the navy department has been informed that 1,5O0 Cubans were rendering efficient aid to the marines at Crest Hill. Now that Rabbi and Garcia are on the scene this ], ,5OO will be swelled to thousands.

EARLY MORNING FIRE
The Grocery Store and Butcher Shop of Isaac Bloom Burned to
 the Ground.

This morning about 3:30 o'clock an alarm of fire was turned in from West Barraque street. Upon the arrival of the fire department, the grocery store and butcher shop owned by Isaac Bloom, was found in flames and almost in ashes. The residence of MT. Bloom, which was in fifteen feet of the burning struc- ture, was saved by the prompt and good work of the fire boys. The origin of the fire is not known, but it is thought to have been the work of an ineendary. Mir. Henry Vining, of hose company No. l, re- eeived badly burned hand from the flames.
 The two fire horses named Bay Prince" and Handsome Foxey" got tangled up in wire and were severely burned about the nose, eyes and hips. The fire wagon was also badly blistered.

WASHINGTON, June 16,-Like the relief of the beleagured at Luck now came the welcome news to the navy department yesterday that the little band of Americans who had planted the flag on Crest Hill, and were defending it night aud day against heavy odds were nos only safe but were strongly reinforced by 1,50O Cubans from the comma nds of Garcia and Rabbi and were now strong 'enough to more than hold their own. It was disclosed in a dispatch from Admiral Sampson
 and brought mucL relief to naval
 officials. The early reports had indicated that the marines were surrounded aud it was feared that they might be compelled to return to the ships before Gen. Shafter's invading army reached there on Friday. The coming of the Cuban forces seems to be in the nick of time and naval officials give the fullest credit to tue timeliness Of this Cuban cooperation. The Ad- mirars dispatch said the condition
 of the marines is entirely satisfac- tory which assurance, although brief, is enough to relieve officials here of the fear they entertained.
 But the most significant feature of the admiral's dispatch was the state ment that the Cuban General Rabbi had occupied Accerraderos, only eight miles from Santiago and
 practically suburb of that strong hold. It was the execution of
 plan arranged in Washington some weeks ago when two of the staf

 D, W. ADAMS, Editor Graphic.
 DA.AR SIR;-YoT were kind enough to make some efforts in my behalf and to make my extended trip pleasant and agreeable. shall try to outline to you the pleasures of travelling in the far west. As you know l left home as a delegate to the National Convention of the Travellers Protective Association of America, at Omaha, Neb., where I spent a lively week. Omaha is the Gate City of Nebraska, and where the Trans-Mississippi Exposition Is opened to the world.
 1 left Omaha last Saturday over the Union Pacific Railway, arriving here the following morning, dIs- tance of over 600 miles. The A. M. A. Convention is in session here and the hotels and town are full of doe tors. There is no need of my saying much about Denver, as every one knows and has heard that it is the most beautiful spot in the west. I shall leave here in the morning for Colorado Springs, Manitou and Pueblo; visiting Pikes Peak nnd spending a few days at ManitOu the great health resort, and then shall go to Salt Lake, Utah, over the great scenic route-Denyer & Riogrande Railway; following up the Arkansas River with it's won derful canons for many miles. The distance from Pueblo to Salt Lake and return is about 1900 miles-the round trip fare has been reduced to $l4.75--a fare that was never be- fore given to tho public and the temptation was too great for me to. let 1t pass, as such an opportunity will possibly never present itself again. l will only remain a few days in Salt Lake. Returning. | will stop q day each at Denver, Omaha, Kansas City, St. Louis, and possibly Little Rock This is fine country, but things seem to he very quiet. There is still q depression in financial affairs, and 1t seems they have not yet gotten over the panic of '93, of which Denver was the greatest victim. Omaha seems to be on the advance; though none of these towns seem to have the for ward developments, as in and around our country.
 As little as one might think, 1 will have travelled over ,000 miles on my return home. have had an en- joyable vacation at but practically little expense, and hope to be with you before the expiration of thls month. With best wishes and kind- est regards, l am
