possible to recognize a native republic

the lowest type and are opposed to
any government. The better classes
are disgusted and want the insurgents
driven from the towns, where they

BRITISH SHIP SEIZED.
Steamer Ardanmhor Captured and
Taken to Key West

Key West, Fla, May 23.-The British
came into port this morning in charge
of an ensign from the auxiliary gun
boat Osceola, by which the vessel Ar
danmhOr was seized yesterday off Ca
rysfort light, because she was acting
in a suspicious manner and was sup
posed to be trying to enter Havana
harbor. She was here several weeks
ago with a cargo of cattle for Havana,
having been turned back by the block
chartered by James E. Ward & Co., the
New York and Cuba Mail Steamship
company, then proceeded to New York,
unlOaded her cattle and cleared for
Nassau and Mexican ports, including
Vera Cruz. She stopped at Nassau on
her way south and when captured yes
terday was far out of her course, if
bound for Vera Cruz.
The British steamer ArdanmhOr which
sailed from Guanta, Venezuela, April
%, bound for Havana with cargo of
S73 head of cattle was turned back by
West and reached New York on May 4.
She reported that when off Matanzas
on April q, at $50 p. m, she was
boarded by the United States cruiser
Cincinnati and was warned that she
must not enter any Cuban port. She
only lost IS head of cattle on the voy-
age and her cargo was sold here. The

BURNED TO A CINDER.
Engineer and Fireman Killed Near
Oakland, Cal, by DeraiIment

San Francisco, May 23-By the de-
railing of an Oakland narrow gauge
train at 2:45 o'clock yesterday after
noon Fireman Jack Hickey was in
stant1y killed and Engineer Edward w.
Baldwin so seriously injured that he
died within three hours. The accident
occurred on the Long Mole which con-
meets with a trestle leading to a pier
where passengers are transferred to
the ferryboatS for San Francisco. The
train was moving at a good. rate of
speed when, according to the account
of Train Dispatcher Walker, the brake
shoe of the engine became detached
and fell down before the wheels of the
tender which was instantly thrown
from the track. The engine and tend
er both fell on their sides and the
smoker was also derailed and is among
the debris. Fireman Hickey was bur-
led under the engine and met a dread
crisp by the escaping steam. 1t was
three hours before his body was recov-
cred. Engineer Baldwin was badly
scaIded but lived until he had been re-
moved to the receiving hospital where
he expired in great agony.
Many of the passengers in the SmO-
ker were more or less injured by being
thrown against the seats or by bits of
broken glass, but none were seriously
wounded.
A sad feature of the death of Fireman
Hickey is the fact that he was max
ing his last run for the day and that
his wife and two children were await
ing with a buggy in Oakland to take a
drive into the suburbs when they were
informed of his fate.

FOR COAST ATTACK.
Spanish Will Send Former Hamburg
Liners Against Us, Says Capt
Strong.

st. Johns. N. F., May 23.-Captain
Strong of the brigantine Energy, which
has arrived here with a cargo of salt
from Cadiz, reports that when he left
Cadiz, a fortnight ago, the greatest act
iv4ty prevailed in the naval arsenal
there.
The two Hamburg-American liners,
Columbia and Normannia, purchased to
be used as auxiliary cruisers, and now
named the RapidO and Patria, were be
ing rapidly armored, and the warships
refitting in the harbor were loading
stores and ammunition.
Captain Strong is convinced that at
the time he was in Cadiz, the Spanish
government fully intended to send this
fleet to attack American coast cities on
the North Atlantic, preferably Boston.
He says the Spanish populace was bit
terly inflamed against English and
Americans and that his crew dared not
venture ashore.

MINDS GLIMMERING.
Two People Partially Insane Attempt
to End Their Lives.

Two people yesterday attempted to quiet
their troubles in life by violent means.
Abel Hatfield, an old soldier who is de-
mented, cut his throat with a penknife
while Mrs. Jennie Woodley a colored wo-
man, took an ounce of laudanum.
Abel Hatfield IIves a short distance
north of the reform school. He is 81
years of age. Yesterday he saw a neigh
Dor digging a hole in which to bury a
dead horse. He imagined that the neigh
Dor was hunting for money which he had
buried, and he plunged Anife-blade into
his throat, making three deep wounds. He
was brought to the Salvation Army hospi-
tai, where the wounds were dressed. They
are serious, but not considered fatal.
Mrs. Woodley lives at 215 West Fifth
street and works at the City Hand laun-
dry. Her family claim that she is adj
dicted to the use of the drug and that she
did not have any suicidal intentions. City
Physician Mitchell attended her, and at 6
o'clock last evening she regained con-
seriousness and will recover.

CARRIES VOLUNTEERS.
Rumor of F1orida's Departure With
an Invading Expedition.

Chicago, May ga special to the
Record from Macon, Ca, says: "Un-
less some accident has befallen the
United States transport Florida, there
are now United States volunteer troops
on the island of Cuba, or they will be
there within a few hours. From accu-
rate information obtained here, it can
be stated as a fact that the first expe-
dition toward Cuban soil has started
and the outlook is for a safe trip.
"Wednesday, May IS, the United
States transport Florida left Fort Tam
pa with several hundred volunteer
troops on board. The passengers be-
longed to the regiment of Cuban volun-
teers, organized in the lower extremity
of Florida some weeks ago. It was
thought best to send these men, as they
speak Spanish and are more acquainted
with topography of the country which
it is proposed to invade. It can not
be learned what United States officers
accompanied the regiment of volun-
teers. If this expedition is a success,
other troops will be rushed into the is
land as soon as possible"

it began the year under the discourage

of parSimOny," but in spite of all eff
forts, the board ended it's year with a
debt of SIS, 062, an increase of over
81, 900 since 1897. This was due to a de-
crease of $S.22s in contributions re-
ceiVed.

duced from 81 to So of all grades. I'm
der the board are 1877 ministers, 322

A SMALL MINORITY
Of the French People are Hostile to

New York, May pa dispatch to the
Herald from Paris says:
Your correspondent interviewed a
number of Paris dressmakers upon the
subject of the war between Spain and
the United States.
NJ. Doucet regretted the misunder-
standing which had arisen and said:
"A microscopic minority, through mere
sentimental snobbishness, has rendered
fashionable an absurd sympathy for
Spain, which / by no means snare
Quite apart from any question of inter-
est which naturally to a certain eX-
tent explains my attitude, personally
feel great leaning toward Americans,
who are so labOr1ouS, so nrm OF VIII
and whose social conditions ADMIT
equality for all and who have created
an ariStOcracy of successful workers,
which is not surpassed by the arts
tocracy of name. therefore assert my
entire sympathy with Americans and
depIore what is going on at the present
moment, though unfortunately L do not
see how it is to be remedied."
M. Worth said: "It is just as though
you had two children suffering from
typhoid and people came to ask which
you would rather see die. On which
ever side their interest lie, French mer-
chants ought to remain neutral II
France has more direct business inter-
ests with America, she also has inter
eStS o. another kind in which a large
amount of French capital is engaged in
SPAIN
What is your opinion respecting the
attitude of the French papers, which do
not appear to share your views, and
which have created such an unfortu-
nate stir in America? '
Il regret it but cannot understand
that Americans, who are such a senSi-
BILE people, attach so much Importance
to such lucobaratiOns. 1t is still more
unfortunate that it should have hap
pened at a moment when negotiations
had been arrived at between the two
states to obtain a reduction of duties
on certain French goods to the United
States ports.'
The bad impression produced in the
United States by the attitude of
France" Mr.. Redfern said, has not
yet produced any i'll effects.
1T may be autumn before we begin
to feel it. 1t would be puerile not to
recognize all the disadvantage to Paris
and to us in particular, produced by it.
There is evidently two sentiments to-
tally different in character in play. The
chivalrous side of French character
has manifestly led the French to SYM
pthize with the weakest; for the final
victory of America is beyond doubt"
