NEW YORK, Nov. Tt has transpired
that 1913 of the enlisted men of the aux
liary cruiser Buffalo deserted after the
orders were received at the navy yard
directing the ship to sail for Manila
with supplies, stores and reinforcements
for Admiral Dewey. There have been
many complaints on the part of the
enlisted men of cruelty, insufficient food
and general harsh treatment by the officers.
The deserters say that soon as they were
placed on the Buffalo they were told that
they were in the service for three years,
and an additional two years if the officers
saw fit to keep them. Then began the
wholesale desertions. In one night 1l0
men went over the side" as the jackies
call leaving the ship without leave. They
jumped the stone wall surrounding the

Uncertainty In Minnesota.

campaign ended in this State tonight with
probably as much uncertainty in the out
look as has ever been known in Minnesota.
The Democrats, with John Lind. silver Re-
publican, indorsed further by the Populsts
as a gubernatorial candidate, are very con-
fident as to the result. While conceding
that the Legislature which will elect Sem
ator Davis's successor, the Senate also par
ticipating in the election two years hence
of a successor to Senator Nelson, will be
Republican. L. A. Rosig, Democratic chair
man, claims that Lind will be elected by
from 1900 to 10000 He also claims three
and possibly four of the seven congressman
and all three Supreme Court judges. On the
other hand. Republican Chairman Steel
claims everything but gives no figures

DETROIT, Nov. 7.-Justin r. Whiting
Democratic candidate for Governor, thinks
he will defeat Governor Pingree. Demo-
cratic state committee officials predict that
the disaffection among old-line Republicans
against Governor Pingree will be few and
scattering. They are not claiming the ball
ance of the state ticket with any marked
degree of confidence, but they expect to
elect half of the twelve congressman an
Increase of four over the present number OF
Democrats. AT Republican headquarters II
was stated that Governor Pingree would re-
celve as large vote, proportionatey, as he
did two years ago, when his plurality ran
up to IS, 400. The Republican leaders, while
admitting that few thousand Republican
votes will go to Whiting. assert that the
Democratic votes which Pingree will receive
will outnumber the Republican votes he
may lose by to L. The Republicans claim
about all the congressman, and also the
Legislature by a majority of two-thirds and
upwards.

Ridiculous Fusion Claims.

DES MONIES, Ia, Nov 7.-Democratic
State Secretary Huffman, who has managed
the fusion campaign, said this evening the
Republican state majority would be only
10000, instead of 50,O00 the Republican fig
ures, and that Wills would be elected rail-
way commissioner. He claims that Wea-
YER, fusion, will win over Lacey Rep in
the Sixth, by 1000; that Finn. fusion, will
defeat Hepburn, Rep. in the Eighth, by 500
These are the close districts. He claims the
Second and Ninth districts by small major
tiles, and then goes so far as to claim the
Tenth, where Dolliver, Rep, had 11.000 last
time, and the Third, where Henderson, Rep.
had 5000. Republican Chairman Hancock is
tonight confident of a complete congress
sional victory, and absolutely sure, if the
weather is such as to get out the vote. He
says Huffman's claims are ridiculous.

S. Martin. in Harper's weekly.

T.. >. Martin, IN Harper weekly.
Race wars continue to be unusually
prevalent in the South. One curious ex-
planation of tho unusual number of them is
that a strong impression has been made on
the minds of the more ignorant and isolated
Southern negroes by the stories of the eX-
ploits of the colored regulars at San Juan.
1T will be remembered that the colored SOL
diers and the Rough Riders fought side by
sde and very vaiiantly. Everything that
concerned the Rough Riders was thorough
ly narrated and printed and the colored
regiments. by reason of their fortunate pro-
pinquity, got fuller and more general credit
for their work than others of the regulars
Perhaps their gallantry and It's renown had
their effect on the other colored brethren;
perhaps not. At any rate, last week there
were race riots near Harperville, Scott
county, Mississippi, in which, up to Oct. "a
eleven negroes and one white man had been
killed and one negro and three white men
seriously wounded and the situation was
such as to make more casualties probable.
Near Ashpole Robeson county, North Caro-
lima on Oct %, a band of negroes shot and
wounded three white men, who were part of
a guard left after recent riot to prevent
further disturbance.
On the same day a negro was lynched at
Lafayette, Ala, for the murder of a white
farmer: white boy was killed in Dallas,
Tex, by three negroes and lynching was
expected and a white man was shot by a
cOored soldier in Il street row at Chattd-
nOOga, Tenn.

PENNILEss CUBANs.
Prisoners Released from Ceuta With
out Friends in New York.

NEW YORK, Nov. THE sixteen Cubans
who were recently released by the Spanish
government from the prison at Ceuta, and
who arrived in this country last week on
the Kaiser Wilhelm ii, were to-day released
from the barge office and allowed to go,
penniless and homeless, into the streets.
They applied for help at the Cuban Junto.
but were turned away with the reply that
no funds were available for them. The sit
uation of the men is peculiar. They were
released from prison and as thew had no
money for transportation and could not Sc
cure help from the Spanish government they
were forwarded to this country by the
United States consul there, at the expense
of this government. No arrangements were
made for their reception on this side nor
for their transportation from this port to
the Island Of Cuba. When they arrived
Commissioner Fitch sent a message to the
Junto informing them of the Cubans' ar
rival here and asking the Junto to care for
them. The junto declined. After a confer
ence on the subject it was decided that the
Junto would take care of the men for the
night An effort will be made by Mr.. Palma
to get the State Department to provide for
the men until they are sent to Cuba.

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-On the eve of the
battle the situation is extremely mixed and
both sides claim sweeping victory in New
Jersey. Foster M. Voorhees,, the Repub-
lican candidate, claims he will be elected

an estimate but says he feels confident of
election. The Legislature is in doubt, with

claim Essex. Upon Essex depends the con-

claim it will be much closer.
