FIRST ROUND,
NAVAL AID PROGRESS.
New Plans Discussed at the Public Meet
ing-Home Boys Made Glad


A number of ladies of the Naval Hos
pital Aid met for the monthly meeting
at the headquarters last Friday morning,
reported the work and conferred in plans
for new work in behalf of the American
sailor and soldier on deck and on camp.
Besides the general report of Mrs. Cat
lin, chairman of the Aid, printed in full
in the CHRONICLE Of last week, reports
were heard from several of the branches
and of special lines of work. The branch
in Monroe had completed thirty night
shirts and twenty sets of pajamas, and
had cut many cheese cloth sqaares; the
Boonton branch had contributed several
boxes of goods; from Windsor, VT, came
twenty-five sets of paiamas and other
hospital clothing, the Troy Hills branch
reported through Mrs. Smith the prog
ress of the work there, jellies and other
canned goods having been contributed
and large number of garments made,
and from High Bridge, in Hunterdon
county. had come offers to take work
under direction of the Aid.
Mrs. w. r. Lyon, treasurer, stated
that contributions had come in contin-
ually and freely, and were entirely I'M
solicited. In one case a party in town
evinced surprise that he had not been
asked to contribute, and sent check
for $50, and another for the same amount
to the local auxiliary of the National
Red Cross.
It was also given out that several
Young ladies of the city had organized a
pajama society to meet each week for
sewing. Each member is obliged to
make one garment each week or pay
twenty-five cents.
but along broader lines. The name
"Naval," adopted at the organization, no
longer defines the work. Within the
past few weeks boxes of clothing and
comfort and quantities of canned goods
and cordials have been shipped for the
use of the wounded soldiers at Fort
Monroe, and even the wounded Spaniards
have been supplied with Morristown
delicacies. Boxes of books, magazines,
comfort bags, jellies and sundries have
cheered the seventeen Morristown boys
and their company ''chums" at Jackson
vile, and other boxes are on their way
to Joe Boniface and his companions
among the marines at Guantanamo and
to the home boys at Sandy Hook and
Pompton Lake. Still others are on their
way to Porto Rico, due to arrive about
this time. New orders are being almost
daily received from the naval hospital
headquarters. and new fields for work
are continually suggested and investi-
gated.
The next general meeting will be held
at II a. M, September 9.

weather and crOp condltIons.

The observers and crop correspon-
dents report that the week ending
August 8, 1895, was again characterized
by warm, humid weather, and frequent
showers in all sections except the ex-
treme southern, where crops are begin
ming to suffer for the want of rain.
The very heavy rains which fell on
the Sd and 9Th, accompanied by high
winds. did considerable damage to the
growing and maturing crops; many
fields of corn were Frustrated and some
torn up by the roots or broken; vine and
other crops on sloping fields were badly
washed out or buried and much fruit
blown off the trees. The rains have
also retarded cultivation and the har-
vesting of late hay and oats but greatly
benefited the standing corn and other
maturing crops. Fall blowing has COM
menced.

rainfalls reported in inches: Belvidere,

WILL HASTEN OCCUPATION.
Eject of the Sunday Disturbance in
the Cuban CAPITAL

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA long dis
patch, giving an account of the trouble be-
tween the Cubans and Spaniards in Ha-
vana, was received late this afternoon at
the War Department. Adjutant General
Corbin declined to make it's contents pub
lie. but said that it agreed substantially
with the press reports of the fight. A copy
of the dispatch was sent to the White
House. where tonight it formed the SUBJ
ject of a consultation between the Pres
ident and Secretary Alger. The officials
here realize that long any of the
Spanish soldiery remain in Havana difficult
ties between them and the Cubans are like
ly to occur at any time. The Spaniards,
however, are yet in control of affairs, the
United States troops being there as mat
ter of sufferance, and the former must be
held responsible for what may occur pend
ing the assumption of absolute control by
the United States. The effect of such oc-
currences as that of yesterday will be to
hasten the absolute occupation by this gov
ernment, and it is understood that steps in
this direction will be pushed with all possi-
BILE haste.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The bill intro
duced this afternoon by Chairman Hepburn,
of the House committee on interstate and
foreign commerce complicates the Nicara-
guam canal situation and, seemingly, de-
stroys hopes of legislation this session 1t
is believed to be an administration measure,
or to find favor with the President and his
advisors although the statement lacks def
mite confirmation. Mr.. Hepburns PROPOSE
ton is to acquire the right of way for the
canal, the government to own the land and
to have jurisdiction and sovereignty over
it. This plan will run afoul Of Senator Hoar
and others of his school, who hold that this
country cannot deal in sovereignties, and
that the Constitution will put bar against
any such proceedings as the Hepburn bill
contemplates. The bill introduces a new
feature into the situation and still further
befogs it. IL Congress takes to it kindly. we
are at the beginning of negotiations with
the opera bouffe Central American repub-
lies. which may postpone the construction
of the canal another generation and get us
into all sorts of complications with the old
world nations.

at the imminent risk Of :; ing at by bullets
fired at an upward angle scare the
crowds. From that point they watched the
spectacle in the electric-lighted square.
1t is reported that. in addition to those
killed and wounded who have been previous
ly mentioned fourteen are being cared for
in private houses. Three arrests were made.
A few minutes after the shooting in the
hotel frightened patrons and Cubans gath
cred around General Greene asking if he
would protect them. He assured them that
he believed they were safe but the only
recognized authority in Havana was the
Spanish executive. lie then sent Captain
Cole and Lieutenant Stevens to General Cas-
telanos to inquire what was being done to
preserve order. The latter replied that the
cafes had been ordered closed and the streets
cleared, while troops in sufficient numbers to
keep the peace had been posted in the
squares and thoroughfares. Two Of the
aids of General Castellanos called upon Gen.
Greene and gave him further personal assur-
ances.
Telephone messages describing the occur
renee were sent to General Wade, in El
Vedado. and General Greene cabled to
Washington brief statement of the facts.
What was taking place in the city was all
transports in the harbor, nor did the news
reach there until this morning.
The United States evacuation commission
ers and General Greene sent General Clous
and Captain Hart at noon to-day to ex-
change views with the Spanish commission
ers. 1t was arranged that all the Cuban
officers and soldiers, including Generals
Julio Sanguilly and Jose Lacret, should go
TO the camp near Marianao and remain out
of the city until the Spanish forces are
withdrawn Mr.. Jerome, the British consul
had already called at the palace on the
same mission.
The Cubans are deeply grieved at the
death of General Garcia. Mourning, badges
are worn everywhere and the various lodges
this evening have passed memorial resolu-
tions.
sos p m.-Following is the text of the
bando issued by Don Adolfo Jiminez Cas-
tellanos, captain general and general-in-
chief: Some parties, ignoring the public
welfare, which they seem willing to disturb
in the most central portion of the city,
where is situated hotel used as a residence
of many American citizens, and my author
ity being invoked to prevent such regretful
acts as those of last night, now, therefore
1 ordain and commend as follows:

CHECKMATING FRANCE.
Britain Enrolling newfoundland
Fishermen i'm Naval Reserve.

ST. JOHNS. N. F., Dec 12-F'urther evil
dence of the strained relations between
Great Britain and France is afforded by the
action of the British Admiralty in distribut-
ing circulars all around the Island of New
foundland, inviting fishermen TO enroll them
selves in the naval reserve. for which spe-
cial inducements are offered. The regula-
tons require the men to enroll for a period
of five years, during each of which they
must put in twenty-eight days drill in the
shore batteries, together with six months
on board a war ship during the period of
enlistment. They will receive an annual
tanning fee of So besides uniform, kit and
so cents a day while drilling. If called out
in wartime they will be paid the same as
the regular blue Jackets. So desirous is
the Admiralty to secure the colonial fisher
men for this service that the drilling periods
and the war ship cruising are to come dur
ing the autumn and winter months so as
no. to interfere with the regular fishing op-
erations Of the colony.
