1t may sound like fiction to some, but
Robert S. Pollet of 5S Water street says
that the story in The Spy few days
ago, setting forth the statement that
he is prepared to lend money without
interest or security to needy Hebrews
is petrified fact.
All the applicant is required to do,
he says, is to get some responsible He
brew to pass along the word that he
is a good fellow and that he would
make GOOD use of the money. There
are a number of such gentlemen in the
city, as the frequency with which Mr..
Pollet's doorbell has been rung since
the story went the rounds testifies.
Mr.. Pollets friends hold him up as
living refutation of the old rhymster
who said
'Tis a very good world to live in,
To lend or to spend or to give in.
But to beg or to borrow or get mans
'Tis the very worst world that ever was
known,
He is prepared, he says, to take his
chances at getting his money back
from those that are successful in Civ
ing him what is known as the "artful
touch
AS they say in London, it was ru
mored in diplomatic circles last night
that there was a rush of applicants
during the afternoon, and that Mr. Pol
let and corps of clerks were busy
handing out little bags of golden coin
or large punches of the green official
oblongs issued by Uncle Sam. A Spy
reporter called at 8 o'clock to ascertain
the facts in the case, but Mr.. Pollet

NEBRAskANs HOME.
Only One Man in Regiment Re-enIisted
For Service.

San Francisco, July 30.-The untime-
ly arrival of the United States trans
port Hancock, having on board the Ne
brask regiment and two batteries of
the Utah artillery, completely de-
stroyed arrangements which had been
made for a royal reception and an en-
thusiastic welcome to the fighting vol
unteers returning crowned with their
laurels.
The returning soldiers have no eriti-
cism to offer on their quiet reception.
They cheered themselves hoarse at the
sight of the little fleet of launches and
shouted greetings and messages to the
people on the shaft below. Col. H. B.
Mulford of the Nebraska, who is in
command, soon appeared at the rail-
ing. BY his side stood William Grazen
or co. ID, the sentinel of the Nebraska
regiment, who fired the first shot in
answer to shots from the Filiuinos
which started the war with the insur-
gents. He killed the first Filipino who
died by an American bullet.
Il don't think you will see anv Of
US returning to Manila very soon" said
Col. Mulford, in response to a cues
ton. Just one man in the entire regi-
ment re-enlisted. Only 25 remaining in
philippines to engage in business. The
Nebraskas had as much work in this
war" continued Col. Mulford, "as any
regiment, volunteer or regular. Our
death roll in the Philippines from gun
shot wounds, accidents and disease. is
81. Including the sick and wounded
who are recovering, we dropped all told
204 men. On the Hancock are more than
one hundred wounded soldiers"

ty and inevitably end by becoming
more or less partisans.
From the very commencement of the
late contest for the kingship it was no
more than native quarrel between
Mataafa and Tanu. On the one side
there ranged one nationality and its
officials, and on the other side two 9th
er nationalities with their officials and
the contest was prolonged and not al
lowed to reach it's natural termination.
We do not think it will ever be pos
sible to do away with this state of
things under tripartite administration
and we take this opportunity of re-
cording our opinion that the only ma
tural and normal plan of government
for these islands and the only system
which can assure permanent prosperi-
ty and tranquility is a government by
one power. We regard it, however, as
beyond our province to make any but
a general statement on such a subject,
and we have endeavored to amend ex-
isting arrangements in such a manner
that they may prove if not entirely
satisfactory, at least workable.

GOMEZ MAY BE CHIEF.
Said Natives Of santo Domingo Will Offer
Him Presidency.

Kingston, July SO.-A private cable
dispatch received here by way of Cape
Hayti reports that the revolution in
Santo Domingo is progressing favora-
bly,. The dispatch says that the real
reason for the detention of President
Heureaux's body at Santiago and its
interment there, was that the country
between Santiago and Porto Plata is
occupied by the insurgents, who. aban-
doning their plan of occupying Moca
as base of operations, are concentrat-
ing to attack Porto Plata, which is
feebly garIisoned.
Great excitement prevails owing to
the fact that the government has not
been able to ascertain the extent of
the ramifications of the revolution, ard
is growing demoralized through the
death of the president.
In the event of the revolution sue
ceeding, according to the private
cablegram, it is probable that Jiminez
and Jitones, the reputed leaders of the
revolution, will agree to retire offer
ing the presidency to Gen. Maxine Co
mez, who would prove acceptable to all
parties. A deputation. it is reported, is
going to Cuba to confer with Gomez.

THE WI Eek AT AUBURN.
Tracks Cleared and Officials
Looking for the
Cause.


Men We're kept at work all night Sat
urday ON the ruins of the Auburn
wreck, and at o'clock yesterday morn
ing the debris had been cleared from
the track and deposited in a heap near
Loves private crossing.
Road Master James Maher kept his
force of employees at work until L
o'clock yesterday afternoon, and the
twisted, shattered mass of iron. and
steel, the once powerful engine 800 of
the Harlem River extra freight, was
hauled to the heap. Today the engine
will be transported to one of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford repair
shops, presumably the one at Norwood.
1t is doubtful whether the engine will
ever be in commission again
Charles c. Elwell of Norwich, super
intendent of the Norwich & Worcester
division, was said yesterday to have
suspended none of the members of the
train crews in the collision.
An investigation will probably be be-
gun at once.
When the crash came the first
thought of the trainmen was for the
safety of their fellow -workmen, and
when it became known that no one was
seriously injured. there was a system
aIlc although unofficial investigation.
Charles L. Patnod, f1agman on the To-
cal freight, was thought at first to
have been partially at fault, but later
his story, backed up the assertions of
his friends among the local freight
crew that he was blameless.
Train hands on the Harlem River
extra freight said yesterday that
short tagging" caused the disaster
Patnod said that he hurried to the rear
at once with danger flag. Engineer
r. A. Chapman of the Harlem River
freight admits that he saw Patnod, but
rot until too late.
The local train is due to leave Au-
burn at sos 1t had arrived four or
five minutes before that time, and the
engine and major portion of the train
was in the yard switching. Patnod' s
assertion that he went to the rear at
Fonce is substantiated by the local crew.
Harlem freight employees say that tie
order go ahead, clear track" was Civ
en- then. at Oxford. The Oxford op-
orator has made no statement yet, and
blame can be attached to no one until
there is an official investigation.
The S.35 boat train went over the di-
vision yesterday morning. Sightseers
and camera ffends had a gala day at
the scene of the collision yesterday.
Everywhere The Sunday Spy's graphic
story of the wreck was read with in
terest, and local officials of the road
said. that it's accuracy was refreshing,
and decidedly so when compared with
pipe dream plea.

churches were bound to the New York
conference will result in lasting good.
The work of organizing the conference
proper closed Saturday evening. and
the services yesterday were of a union
nature, under the direction of the

And it is now the food of foods for many

HERALD STICKS TO IT.

About Germany.


New York. July So.-The Herald will
print an editorial tomorrow regarding
the Dewey interview in part as fol-
lows:-
"On Friday last DR.. Halsted Boyland,
a well-known physician. who some
times when travelling corresponds with
the Herald in a dilettante way, sent
the Herald dispatch from Trieste,
which was published in our issue of
Hast Saturday. 1t gave a resume of a
conversation which DR.. Boyland had
had with Admiral Dewey
I'm this conversation the admiral
spoke with sailor-like candor and ex-
|pressed opinions with regard to Ger
many that have stirred up a commo-
ton. 1t is regretable that a friendly
conversation should have found it's way
into print. The admiral cannot regret
1t more than the Herald does.
STILL when this has been recorded.
the fact remains that Admiral Dewey
made the statements reported by DR..
Boyland."

RELIEVE CUBAN WIDOWS.
Wives of Generals Brooke and Ludlow
Display Great Charity.

Havana, July 3O.-Many Of the pub
lie buildings of the city being vacant
last year, they were used for shelters
for the large number of Spanish and
Cuban widows who had been left with
out means, and after the Inauguration
of the American regime, the occupants
were allowed to remain.
Several of these women who occu-
pied them before becoming inmates Of
widow homes, were thus forced to en-
dure hardship, and many of them ap-
pealed to Mrs. Brooke, wife of the gov
ernor general, for aid or advice. Others
applied to Mrs. Ludlow Both of these
ladies since January 1st have given
personal assistance to the needy wo-
men, and innumerable instances are
continually cropping up which show
that the AIperican ladies, wives of high
officials, have done much to relieve dis
tress in the past few months.

But It Was Settled Suddenly ey Two Wor-

cester Policemen.
While the International peace com
mission has just concluded its consider
alton of methods of warfare and arbi-
tration at The Hague, officers Burke
and Foley have settled dispute be-
tween an Armenian, a Swede and a
Finn in a manner that would quickly
make all nations agree in methods of
warfare without the deliberations of a
commission.
The three men, John Lydjman, Finn,
Paul Hoggie, an Armenian, and Charles
Smith, Swede, met at Franklin square
last night, apparently on the best of
terms. The merits of the American
and Filipino armies, were talked over
and gradually each man reverted to
the prowess of the soldiers in his home
country, and Immediately trouble was
sighted coming down the pike.
Smith was certain that his native
land was the greatest thing ever drawn
out on the map of Europe, but Hoggie
differed with him. Smith retorted that
Hoggie's native land was a secondary
consideration, and was nothing but a
side light to the Turkish empire Lydi-
man came in heavy with his country's 3
aDlllty TO 90 a good job If they had the
men and other things to do it with, and
then the argument waxed SO warm
that the exclamations of each would
not look well in print. After prolonged
talk, Hoggie started to demonstrate to
Smith that an Armenian was in the
top line on the fighting question, and
gave him a well-directed blow in the
solar plexus. Lydjman did not like
the mode of procedure, and he struck
Hoggie.
Hoggie was in a fair way to get all
that was coming to him, when Officers
Burke and Foley swooped down on the
trio, and in the twinkling of an eye,
displayed the ability of a Worcester
policeman and a pair of handouts which
satisfied the foreigners that they
weren't in it for minute with Wor-
cester's finest.
The police team was called and all
three were sent to Station l, where
they were booked for disturbing the
peace.

Weak and debilitated children are the

As matter of precaution If nothing

is so absolutely pure that it affords the
best substitute for healthy mothers milk.
Thousands of mothers know by experi-
