HAVANA. April 3.-The overland tele-

MAY DELAY VOLUNTEERS.
Among military men the talk Is Of the
departure OF the American volunteers.
which will probably be delayed a couple
OF weeks until the Cuban army question
is nearer n settlement. As General Gomez
Is unable 10 supply accurate lists OF the
Cuban army. and as the Cuban Assembly
still retains the official list. the American
military authorities outwardly appear to
be simply waiting, but as matter OF
fact they are impatient and disguised.
The whole attitude of the Cubans in this
matter is excessively irritating. Mean
while the report that the 100000 may
be returned TO the United States is be
ing widely circulated and has increased
the feeling against the Assembly whose
members are apparently Indifferent. The
next session Of the Assembly will be held
on Thursday.
THE COMAES CARGO.
When Secretary Alger was here he
discussed with GovernOr-General Brooke
the question Of charging upon the Gus
toms receipts the cargo Of rations ex-
pected on the C0mal. The matter was
left open. To-day the cOmal, with a mil
lion rations. arrived and as no de-
cision has yet been reached by the Cow
ernor-General as to whether the supplies
are 10 be charged TO the United states
or to Cuba, the distribution is likely 10

tanzas. 10000 at Cienfuegos, and $4,000

The Comal did not bring either sugar
or rice. both of which will be procured in
the Cuban markets.

matter 10 be considered Will be the nomi-
nation by the joint assembly OF sue

the issue Of the contest when II comes

dates for this position are Robert Nc
Nance W. X. Zewadski, and DR.. j. c.
Pelot. At this moment the chances
seem to favor McNamee. but an effort IS
being made to create a deadlock, and a
hot close fight is anticipated.

MOB8ED HIS HOUSE.
Because the Owner Put n Flag at Half
Mast For Ingersoll.

M'ADOO, Pa, Aug. 4.-The town of
Glen City was the scene of wild excite
ment, caused by mob which attacked
the house of James Paige. The trou-
BILE dates from the death of Robert u.
Ingersoll whose ideas Paige wished to
honor by displaying a flag at half-mast
on the village fagpole.
Since the death of the great agnostic
discussions concerning a supreme being
have been constantly in progress in the
mountain towns. On Sunday the Rev.
Theodore Banks visited the town and
excited the people by denouncing ag-
nostics and atheists in general and
Paige in particular who, he said was
possessed of the devil He said it was
a sacrilege to use the American flag to
symbolic un-Christian notions, and
expressed his intention to tear the flag
down or float it from the top Of the
pole. When he attempted to do so
Paige met him with a gun. A few even
ings later crowd of villagers collected
at the company store, and, after dis
cussing the flag matter, were worked
up by the parson. The mob started
for Paige's house, broke down the flag
pole broke in the doors and windows,
and would have handled Paige roughly
had not some persons taken him away.
