VANDERBILT PATRIOTIC.
Starts "My Country IT'S of Thee" at a
Theater.

New York, May 3.-William Z. Van
derbilt, millionaire among all the Van
derbilt mfllionaires, is patriotic, and is
not averse under any circumstances to
giving his love of country voice. 1t all
happened at Weber & Fields Music
hall last night.
pie rendition of MY Country, TITS of
Thee" A murmur crept over the
crowd in the orchestra chairs and the
boxes. Suddenly a gentleman in even
ing dress, who occupied one of the
boxes in the lower tier, sprang to his
feet, and waving his handkerchief like
a baton began to sing the words to the
popular air. The crowd Joined him, and
the little theater rang with the volume
of sound.
Then this patriotic person asked in
tones loud enough for all the house to
hear that THE Star Spangled- Banner"
might be given. Stromberg swung his
stick and the orchestra broke into the
patriotic tune. The gentleman leaned
over the box rail so that everybody
might see and hear, and began to sing
the song. Again the house rose with
him, and again did all the patriotism
of the American heart have vociferous
expression.
After it was all over and the enthus-
iaSm had in a measure subsidized, there
were inquiries as to the personality of
the distinguished looking man who had
created all the enthusiasm. Some man
about town, one of the kind who knows
everybody, said: "Why, that is Will
liam K. Vanderbilt" And it was so.

EmbarkatiOn of the Army For
Cuba Postponed.
1t May Not Take Place Before
Next Sunday.
VESSELS NOT READY.
Transportation is Needed For
5000 Troops.
Cubans Enlisted in New York
Reach Tampa.

Tampa, Fla, May 3.-Two hundred
native Cubans who have been quietly
enlisted in New York by Gen. Julio San
gully, arrived in Tampa last night.
They will be formed into a cavalry reg
iment and under the leadership Of the
famous Cuban who enlisted them, will
probably embark for Cuba with the
American troops. The rest of the regi-
ment will be made up of Cubans from
Tampa and vicinity. The New Workers
created a sensation as they marched
down the street in a body, and they
were followed for blocks by a mob of
excited Cubans.
Slowly but surely arrangements are
being made for u e landing of an Amer
lean force in Cuba. By Friday the fol-
lowing fleet of vessels is expected to be
in waiting at the wharves at Tampa
for the reception of the United States
troops.
The Florida, Olivette and Mascotte of
the Plant line; the Alamo and Comala
of the Mallory line; the Arkansas and
possibly the Lampasas of the Oregon
line, and the Allegheny and Burksh1re
of the Merchants and Miners line
These boats have all been contracted
for and have a carrying capacity of
about 5000 troops. 1t is not believed,
however that the embar6atiOn will take
place before Sunday.
Much remains to be done in the way
of gathering ammunition and supplies,
and several days must elapse before all
is in readiness. 1t is believed that the
force will be made of 5000 infantry, l.
900 cavalry and ten batteries of artil-
Iery, in ali close to 5000 men. Only one
regiment of cavalry, the Ninth, is now
in camp at Tampa, but the Tenth, now
at Chickamauga, will, it is believed, be
brought down here to fill the quota.

NEW GOLD FIND.
4 Wild Rush of Dawsonites to
Islands in the Yukon.

Tacoma, Wash. May 9.-B. S. Phillips
and two others who left Dawson on March
20 arrived last night They report that
Dawson was wildly excited during March
over gold discoveries on Monte Cristo ISL
and. above Dawson. The excitement was
heightened by the fact that all the claims
there. except the two taken up by the
Swedish discoveries, were staked by Can
adam officials, including Captain Bliss of
the mounted police and Prosecuting At
torney Wade.
There are many other islands in the
river, both above and below Dawson, and
hundreds of men started for them, draw
ing their supplies sleds, making to-
gether the greatest crowd of stampeders
that has left Dawson. Gold Commissioner
Fawcett now declines to accept filings un-
til the shafts have been sunk to bed rock.
The new island claims are therefore be
ing rapidly developed and mining has be-
gun before this. They will be richer than
was expected on the outside.

CLAY COUNTY FEUD.
Six More Kentuckians Meet Death in
the fractional Fight.

Barboursville, KY, May 3.-The soil
of Clay county is stained with blood if
the reports received from that section
today are true. The Baker-Howard
feud, which is still raging with all fury
has claimed six more victims, according
to the story brought by courier from
the isolated regions where the factions
are doing battle.
: He states that on last Wednesday
George Howard son of Bal Howard,
and two of the Philpots were surprised
about three miles from Manchester by
the Baker boys. A fight followed i'm
medi2tely, in which the three members
of the Howard faction were shot to-
death, the Bakers having the advant-
age. Later in the day there was an
other encounter a mile from town in
which the Bakers were again victori-
Gus. The three sons of Anse Baker
met three PhilpOtS in the road and in
a short battle shot them to death.
A reign of terror has been established
in the county. Judge Wright, it is said,
contemplates asking the governor for
troops.

The landsman would find an hour in the

shaft like a hollow tree he would emerge

1T MADE MELBA GASP.
Chicago Dentist Charged the Singer
$3.50 for Filling One Tooth.


Chicago, May 3-The story of an ex-
perience which Nellie Melba, had in Chi
cago with dentist has just leaked out
among the doctors of dental surgery in
the city.
1t seems that the great singer ar
rived in the city with badly aching
tooth. AS soon as she was located at
her hotel she began inquiries for dent
list. She had no difficulty in finding
some one over-anxiouS to make recon-
mendatiOnS.
Her find this time was an unlucky one
at least for her pocketbook. The star
was directed to a dentist who has the
reputation among his professional
brethren for charging high rates. Mel
ba unfortunately took her place in the
dental chair wt.hout asking the dent
list about his charges. The young man
filled her aching void in rear molar
and followed up the operation by exam
lining all of her teeth to see if any 9TH
ers needed attention.
After long and lingering examina-
ton the dentist at last said that he
didn't see how he could do anything
more. The star rose from the red plush
chair and asked for her bill.
'One hundred and fifty dollars, if you
please" said the dentist
Media gave a staccato gasp and told
him to send the bill to her hotel. He
did SO.
Then the singers manager made a
very heavy and pronounced kick on the
size of the bill, saying it was higher
ever reached. Then the diplomacy of
the dentist shone forth like a star of
first magnitude. He sent word to the
singer that he would make her a pres
ent of the BILL as she couldn't afford to
pay it. That response made the singer
furious and the dentist received a check
for the full amount of the bill on the
next mail.

SIXTEEN 2:1O TROTTERS.
The Others Have Retired or Sent to

steady expectation of American trotters
with low records, a horseman wonders
where the recruits for the 2:10 and bet
ter class are to come from. After going
into detail of the 2:10 class the follower

the Government

Baltimore. Nd. May 3.-President Baker
of the National Association of Homing
Pigeon Fanciers in the United States, has
issued Geographic instructions to local Of
f1cers of the association in different cities
to Immediately put aggregate of 10000
birds in training in accordance with Sec
rotary Longs acceptance of the associa-
TONS offer received today.
Under the first call these birds are
placed at the disposal of the government:
1000 from Philadelphia, 300 each from Bos-
ton and Baltimore, 2 from Fail River 100
N. J.; 25 from Shamokin, Pa; $50 from In
dianapolis, Ind; $50 from Chicago, and
about 100 each from York, Pa; Hamburg,

and as far north as Sandy Hook. Phfia-
delphia birds might used from the Dela-
ware Breakwater to Boston, and those

VANDERBILT WEDDING.
Will Take Place June 1 in Paris in
Holy Trinity Church.

New York, May 3.-The indications
are that the coming marriage of Miss
Dresser to George Vanderbilt will take
place in Paris on June 1, probably.
A newspaper of that city recently an
nounced that there is to be a reunion
of the members of the Vanderbilt fam
lily at Paris early in June. Some time
ago William K. Vanderbilt and Mrs.
Frederick Vanderbilt expressed their in
tention of going abroad in May, and
now it is said that Mr.. and Mrs. Sloane
and Mrs. Shepard may sail for France
in about two weeks. Miss Edith Dres-
ser and George w. Vanderbilt are now
in Paris, and Mr.. and Mrs. Cornelius
Vanderbilt are about to bring their
Mediterranean cruise to a. close.
1t is likely that the wedding will be
so1emnized in the American Church Of
the Holy Trinity in the Avenue d'Alma,
Paris, of which the Rev. DR.. J. B. Nor
gan is the rector.

to Proposed Government Loan.
Washington, May 3.-The banks of the
United States, especially In the west,
are said at the treasury department to
be preparing to subscribe largely to the
expected issue of government per cent
bonds, and Chas. G. Dawes, comptroI-
Ter of the currency, is daily receiving
from all parts of the country requests
from banks for the immediate printing
of national bank currency in order that
after the bonds are purchased by them
there may be no delay in the issuance
of the currency.
AS from % to 80 days delay is ordi-
narily required for the preparation of
currency, after the purchase of bonds
and notification to the government by
banks of their currency requirements,
the comptroller for the purpose of en-
couraging subscriptions to the new is
sue of government bonds, announces

CABLE IS BRITISH.
Spain Does Not Own the Wire From
Manila.

Washington, May 3.-The cable from
Manila, it is learned, is a British and
not a Spanish cable, and it is believed
that the British operators have charge
of the cable station. While they
would be subject to a Spanish censor
ship yet there is no doubt that the
British ownership would insure a more
prompt and unprecedented transmission
of official and unofficial reports than if
it were not a British cable. The cable
goes to Hong Kong and thence by way
of Alden and the Red Sea to continental
Europe and London.
The leading diplomats say no step
toward European intervention is likely
to be fastened by this disaster of Spain.
1t is looked upon simply as war reverse
which cannot be turned into political
channels by Spanish appeals to the
powers. This is the view alike in
British French and German quarters.
iSh, but it is none the less apparent
among French and German officials,
who regard the time for mediation, or
intervention as past.
One of the members of the diplomatic
corps said grave fears were entertained
of the effect of the reverse at Madrid.
The government there is threatened on
two sides; on the one by the Carlists
and the other by Republicans. The
humiliation over the defeat will natur-
ally find expression against the Sagasta
regime and the throne itself. Whether
the authorities will be able to resist
popular Indignation is much doubted by
those cOnverSant with affairs at Mad
rid.
Today's cable advices that martial
law may be proclaimed bore out the
view of diplomats, as to the gravity of
affairs. One of the naval aides, at
tached to an embassy here said the
battle at Manila disclosed the made
quate preparation made by Spain and
gave good reason for popular resent
ment at Madrid. He said it was now
made plain that the quiet and constant
preparations carried on by the United
States were for a good purpose and had
worked vital results. He pointed out
that within eight days of the issuance
of the declaration of war, the American
fleet had sailed 700 miles and had struck
a decisive blow. This at the outset of
a campaign was of double Importance
as it carried enthusiasm to the victors
ton to the ranks of the Spanish forces
in all quarters. This naval attache ex-
pressed surprise that the Spanish de-
Tense at Manila had divided into two
parts, first the enga cement of the ships
and second the defense of the city.
Until the city was taken he said, the
real result of the operations could not
be determined, as Commodore Dewey'S
fleet had not yet passed the danger line
in that it's coal was reduced and it's am
munition depleted by the engagement
of yesterday. He said also that the
weakness of Spain in the Philippines
weakness in Cuba and Porto Rico. The
Spanish authorities, he pointed out had
failed to send abundance of coal to Gu
ba, Porto Rico and elsewhere, and now
their reverSeS were a natural result of
their own improVidence.

TRAVELLING MAIL BOXES.
Letter Boxes Attached to Street Cars
q SUCCESS in Des Moines.

Washington, May 3.-The six months ex-
pertinent of having letter boxes attached
to the street cars in Des Moines, Ia. has
success. Based upon the results of the
first six months, the street cars in Des
Moines with the letter box attachment
would handle in a year 100000 pieces of
first class mail and 10000 pieces Of second
class mail.
The street car companies now demand
compensation for the continuance of the
service. The poStoffice department will
not give out the amount of compensation
which is asked. but the officials say that
at the rate asked they do not believe the
department would be justified in contin-
uing the system. At present there is no
appropriation which could be used for
such a purpose.
