ANNEXATION OF CUBA.
A New Spanish Party Which Will
Advocate American Rule.

HAVANA, April 12.-Marquis de Ra-
bell announces the formation of a Span
ish party in Cuba under the honorary
presidency of Marquis de Arguelles, the
richest man in the island, and the prob
able future representative of Spain here,
although not yet officially accredited.
About thirty prominent Spaniards in
and out of Havana were called into
conference.
The annexation of Cuba to the United
States is the unanimous desire of these
gentlemen, although no reference is
made to this in their general address
to the Spaniards in Cuba, as they re-
gard it inexpedient to agitate the ques-
ton just now, and thereby cause still
greater political unrest.
The address of the new party, which
is signed by Marquis de Rabell, is en-
tirely devoid of political references, and
simply announces the fact of organiza-
ton and the election of officers, all of
whom are men of prominence. 1t as
serts, however, also, as the controlling
feature of the party's program, a de-
sire to promote the peace and prosperity
of Cuba, to which the members of the
party are bound by the most sacred
ties" and it earnestly advises all Span
iards here to act nobly together in up
holding the honor, dignity and tradi-
tions of Spain.

w. c. ANDREWS ESTATE.
The Will Filed for Probate at New
York City.

NEW YORK, April 12-The will of
the late Wallace c. Andrews, who, with
his wife, perished in a fire at his home
to-day.
After making bequests of $4,000 to
each of his sisters, the will provides
that the residue of the estate shall be
held in trust for the benefit of his wife
during her life. Upon her death $500,
600 shall be divided among six relatives
named, among whom is Mrs. Gamaliel
St. John. who perished in the fire, and
Mr.. Andrews sisters, Lucy Moore and
Phoebe Moore.
All of the residue of the estate in
excess of S500,O0O shall go to the es-
tablishment of an institution for the ed
ucation of girls. The institution shall
be located in Willoughby, o., on what
is known as the Williams farm. The
idea of the school is to furnish an ele-
mentary education to girls between the
ages of 10 and 16 years, and make
them independent and self-supporting.
One-tenth of the amount is to be used
for the erection of suitable buildings
and the remainder to running the
school. If, owing to any legal mis-
calculation, the project meets with fail
ure, then the money is to go to the
Smithsonian Institution for the founda-
ton of an Institution on similar lines.
AS Mrs. Andrews is dead, the money
for the home is released. Newspaper
estimates of Mr.. Andrews, estate ag-
gregate that it is worth $l,500,0G0.

A PHILIPPINE RAILROAD.
The Only One in Uncle Sans New
Island Possessions.

The single railroad line of our new
Oriental colony traverses some of the
finest country to be found in all these
islands. For probably ninety miles it
runs diagonally across a continuous
level or slightly rolling area, separated
from the sea- and hemmed in by mount
ain ranges which in places rise to the
night OF o,UUo feet. The northwestern
corner OF the valley opens on the shall
low gulI OF Llngayen, whereon is situ-
ated Dagupan, the terminus of the road.
On the southern end this ideal valley
region is bounded by Manila Bay, the
Paslg River and Lake Bal, the most
important lake in these islands. In this
valley region and the bordering mount
ain region are included all of the six
provinces wherein was begun the Span
ish subjugation of these islands. and to-
day they are the most important part of
Luzon. These are Manila. BuIacan,
Pa1npanga, Tariac, Nueva Ecya and
Pargasinan, all of which are traversed
by the Manila and Dagupan road.
Inc scenery along the line of this
railroad IS most picturesque. For fif-
teen miles out of Manila the land rises
IN irregular, long, sloping hills scarcely
half hundred feet in hight. On one
hand is succession Of rice fields, and
on the other the hillsides are terraced
with queer native bamboo huts At
Calcocan are seen the first real signs
OF civilization, Twenty-Five miles from
Manila Is Malolos, the capital of the So
called Filipino Republic. Like many
other native towns, it is stretched out
for a considerable distance among the
bamboos and ponds Between, Malolos
and Calumpit, distance of nine miles.
there are twelve bridges across streams
of sufficient volume to be called rivers.
Ten miles. from Calumpit is San Fer
nando, and ere we reach this place we
have left behind the bordering hills of
Manila Bay. Twenf u miles beyond San
fernando we pass through a cut about
three hundred yards long and thirty
feet deep, the only one of any conse-
quence on the road, and here at Bam-
ban We have reached the mountains
Beyond Bamban the landscape changes,
and cocoanut groves begin to supplant
the bamboo flats. Tarlac is one of the
most important towns on the road. 1t
IS located in the province of Tarlac
The remaining forty five miles of the
road to Dagupan runs through fiat land,
well drained, and there isca succession
OF rice fields. cane fields and cocoanut
groves. The only important town on
this part of the road is Bayambang, on
the river Argo. The English firm of
Smith, Bell & Co. has a large rice mill
there, and at Calasias, the next station
to Dagupan, are made the finest Manila
hats. Such are the scenes along the
only railroad line in the Philippines and
in spite of its insignificance this road
has done much toward improving the
country through which it passes Ere
long American energy and capital will
begin the grand work of development
so long delayed through Spanish mis-
rule. and the toot Of the American loco-
motive, echoing through the bamboo
jungles and cocoanut groves, will soon
awaken these oppressed islands from
their long sleep.-Scientific American.

WILLOWS, April Pm the Murdoch
suit to recover judgment on note for
100000, the testimony cf Gavin Muir
dock, the husband of plaintiff, was con-
cluded this afternoon, and was not
shaken in the lengthy cross
tion by General Barnes.
The transactions between the father
of the witness Sam Murdock and Will
lam Murdoch, We're fully gone into, and
witness testified that at Sacramento
with his wife in 1890 he met one. l.. S.
Megginson at the Pavilion. His wife
introduced Megginson, who spoke of the
note, and said he would loan money on
it if it was good. Witness remarked
that William Murdoch was there. They
found William and introduced Meggin-
son. William there said the note was
good, and that he would pay it when
due.
T. J. Kirkpatrick, an old settler liv-
ing near Murdocks place, was called.
His testimony was quite startling. He
said he had heard William and Sam
talking of the note. William was try
ing to get Sam to reduce the rate of
interest on the note. He said Sam,
who could not write, asked the witness
to draw up an affidavit as to his busi-
ness transactions with William, so his
grandsons would be protected.
The affidavit was produced and iden-
tilted. 1t enumerated the loans made
by Sam to William, and said that the
note covering the full Indebtedness had
been given to Mary Helen Murdock for
the benefit of her children, Kirkpatrick
witnessed the affidavit as Justice of
the Peace.
Cross-examination did not shake the
testimony.
Mrs. Murdock, the plaintiff, was
called, but General Barnes, for the de-
fense, objected to her testfying.
The point will be argued tomorrow
morning.

Story About Addicks.

The spectacle of Mr. Addicks' Sena-
torial throes in Delaware reminds me of
an episode when he was engaged in the
gas business in Boston. Mr.. Addicks,
as some people will remember, was oc-
cupied here in an attempt which in
VOWED good deal of legislation of one
kind or another. During the progress
of his attempt he invited the Board of
Aldermen of the city of Boston one day
to go down the harbor on his boat Now
Then, and the invitation was accepted.
Mr.. Addicks produced lot of yachting
caps, which, as the wind blew fiercely
on the little deck of the Now Then,
were regarded as proper to replace the
more formal Aldermanic headgear. All
the caps We're blue, except one, which
was white, and this white one Mr.. Ad-
dicks proceeded to- present, with a -four
ish, to Alderman Farmer, saying as he
did so:
Il give this to Alderman Farmer to
wear as an emblemaof purity
All the other Alderman laughed, for
Mr.. Farmer had been prominent in his
opposition to Addick's schemes in the
board. Mr.. Farmer accepted the white
cap and wore it without any protest, or,
for that matter, any complacency. But
some time later in the day, when the
party We're lined up before a soda
fountain, Mr.. Farmer said:
Can you tell me, Mr.. Addicks, what
is the difference between the man who
runs this soda fountain and you?''
We'll, no, I can't" said Addicks;
what is it?"

This palpable hit at the Delaware
financier's operations at the time was
regarded by the company as very fair
return for the joke of the white cap
