$1,000, 900 provided by the United States
government to pay Cuban troops. Of
the total amount, half is in gold and
half in silver. The weight Of metal is
forty-eight tons.
Much interest centered in the remov-
al of the treasure from the sub-treas-
ury. A large crowd gathered and
watched the proceedings. Captain Lit
tell, Of the quartermasters department,
had charge Of the detachment Of SOL
ders from the forts in this neighbor-
hood. There were about fifty men,
each with Krag-Jorgensen and full
belt of cartridges. They formed in line
at the treasury building and the boxes
and safes Of coin We're passed out be-
tween them.
Half a dozen ordinary trucks were
in readiness in the street and men drag
ged out the money on small hand
trucks to the Pine street entrance OF
the building. Half the money was in
iron safes, about foot and half high
and weighing about 100 pounds each
All the money was got on the trucks
stood on the safes or casks holding
their rifles, and the trucks were then
driven through Broad street. The
treasure was taken to Pier 8, East river
where the General Meigs, of the gov
eminent service, was in waiting to re-
ceive it. The soldiers again formed in
line and a dozen policemen stood at
the gang plank while the money was
being placed aboard the Meigs. There
were over 100 casks and safes in all.
The Meigs steamed over to Brooklyn,
where, at Pier %, the coin was placed
on the Meade.
Paymaster General Carey, accompan-
led by Major Rogers, of the paymas-
ter's office, will have charge of the
money and will turn the coin over TO
General Brooke who will supervise it's
payment to the Cuban soldiers.

STATE CONVENTION
Yesterdays Proceedings Of the Chris
tfau Association Conventton-Frob.
ably VIII Meet Next Year I'm Will
mingtOn

Durham, n. c.. March IL.
Today's work of the convention OF
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tive The morning service was devot-
ed to the state work and was conduct
ed by Mr.. H. O.. Williams. Then Rev.
A T. Graham, of Davidson conducted
an intensely interesting Bible study.
which did much good to advance Bible
work in the associations. This was fol-
lowed by a college conference conduct
ed by International College Secretary
W. K. Matthews. Emphasis is being
laid on the college work and is thought
to be one of the most important works
just now. The discussion involved the
problems and difficulties of association
work for college men.
Perhaps the most enjoyable part of
the day was the social evening" The
delegates formed in line and marched
to Trinity college where the visitors
were heartily received and the doors Of
all departments were thrown open.
After being shown through different
places of interest the delegates We're
seated in the parlors and refreshments
served. After enjoying several hours
of such hospitality the party was led
y
where they enjoyed a special pro-
gramme arranged especially for the en-
tertainment.
The night session was devoted prin-
cipally TO addresses by Rev. w. a.
Wynn, of Charlotte, who spoke on lines
of the work which broadened the ideas
of q great many on association
wrk, and by very interest
ing address by Professor Hammill, of
the International Sunday School asso-
citation. Professor Hammills address
was intensely interesting. He said:
Fifty years ago the church, through
the association, discovered the young
man. l met two years ago Sir Geo.
Williams, knighted by Queen Victoria
for this discovery, and it's result is the
establishment and wonderful work of
the Young Mems Christian Association.
Since then the church has never refus-
ed call made by its young men and
now it calls for the young manhood of
North. Carolina to pay her back by eff
fort in reaching men for Christ and de-
veloping in them the highest type of
manhood" Professor Hammill has
travelled in almost all parts of the
world and was once connected with
Young Mems Christian Association
work. He was present in London when
Mr.. Geo. Williams, the father of the
was knighted by Queen Victoria.
The convention seems to be felt in
Durham and all the delegates are very
enthusiastic and are gathering much
good from the convention meetings and
discussions. There is every evidence
that the next annual Convention will be
held in Wilmington.

a request to take back the Italian dis

tifying the foreign office to accept it
as demand, adding that he was will

to the details, but insisting upon an

was couched in courteous terms, but
the Chinese regard it in the nature of
an ultimatum, to which they will prob
ably yield.
