BROOKENOT WORRIED
About the Situation at Havana.

HAVANA, May 22.-The situation re-
parding the disbanding of the Cuban
arny remains critical. Bitterness
among Cubans is apparently on the in
crease today, but Gen. Brooke does not
seem worried. He said to be of the
opinion that the Cubsns will coon come
to their senses and act according to his
demands Gen. Brooke took a trip in
to the country yesterday.
Gomez may go to Washing ton. He
is fretting over 'the unsatisfactory
state of affairs, and his friends say he
will go to Washington aud see McKin-
lev unless the situation improves in a
few days.
Former President Cespedes is going
to America Thursday and Gomez may
accompany him.
The situation is unchanged this af-
ternoon. Cuban leaders remain stub
born in their refusal to surrender their
srms. Gen. Brooke's threat to return
the three millions to the United States
if the cabinet does not comply with his
demands is regarded as bluff by the

DESTROYED BY FIRE
But Valuable Horses We're Saved.

But Valuable Horses We're Saved.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, May 22.-The grand
stand paddock at Harlem race track
was destroyed by fire early this morn
ing. At one time the fire threatened
the adjacent stables in which are shell
tered many valuable horses. Only the
dying down of the wind that famed
the flames saved the stables.
The loss is 100000, no insurance.
The fire burned fercely for four hours,
and it was feared the wind would carry
the flames to residences and store
buildings near by. Harlem's opening
is set for May 80.
The grand stand was one of the finest
in the United States. The fire is
thought to have been incendiary. The
paddocks will be rebuilt at once.
The fire will probably not interfere
with the opening of the meeting on De-
coration day. 1t is proposed to secure
a mammoth circus tent imm lately.
An improvised grand stand will be fur.
nished with circus seats.

pICKpOCKET BOUND OVER.
Mexican, Who Robbed the French
man, Likely to be Severely Dealt
WITH

Jose Lopez, who picked the pocket
of q Freuchmau on the Santa Fe train
Saturday morning, was before Justice
Spencer for u preliminary hearing this
morning.
The testimony against Lopez con-
| vinced the court that the wrong man
had not been arrested and the prisoner
was bound over to await the action of
the grand jury, his bond being fixed at
$500.
The, Frenchman testified that he
bought his tickets hurriedly and stuff
fed them in the outside pocket of his
coat together with $40 Mexican bill
and the s125 draft in gold. He then
seized q heavy valise in either hand
and hurriedly boarded the train. AS
he was walking down the aisle the
Mexican came rapidly from the op-
posite direction with his head down
and bumped squarely into him at the
| same time selling his coat as il to
prevent himself from falling.
The tickets were not missed until the
conductor came along. Then the
robbed. The conductor put him off at
the smelter and he notified the Ell Pa
SOS police of the theft.
The capture OF Lopez was a neat bit
of work on the part of Officer Manen
Clements.
The officer was talking to Mr.. Knapp,
requesting him to give q minute de-
scription of the Mexican who had tried
to get S125 draft cashed, when the
man himse Il came along.
Let me see that check again." said
Mr.. Knapp.
The Mexican innocently reached in
his pocket and handed it out. He was
then promptly arrested by the officer.
The two railway tickets have not
yet been recovered.

THE PARIS

The Big Liner On the Rocks
At Falmouth and Beating
To Pieces
SHE MAY BE- SAVED
But The Officers Are Fast
Losing Hope.--There
Was No Panic
On Board.

FALMOUTH, Eng, May 22.-Your
correspondent arrived here from Lon
don at day break today and found the
American liner Paris, which was
stranded at Lowland Point yesterday
morning, still hard and fast on the
rocks. The officers of the vessel are
discouraged over the prospect of saving
her.
The ST. Paul, of the same line, which
went ashore at Long Branch several
years ago, was saved under similar
discouraging circumstances.
Today being Whitmonday and holi
day, excursion boats carrying crowds
from Falmouth and other points are
gathered about the Paris.
The lodge on which the ship rests is
almost surrounded by jagged rocks. AS
one of the passengers expressed it,
1--WE passed between the teeth of the
jaws of death, and are stranded on the
back of the tongue"
G. r. Joliffe, of Los Angeles, who is
passenger in the second cabin, did not
know there was an accident until the
steward knocked at the doors. He pre-
tested against being disturbed but fin
ally arose when the stewards threaten
ed to smash in the door.
Joliffe says that no life preservers
were given out but there was no panic
except for time among steerage pas
sengers, who knelt and prayed for
deliverence.
The North German Lloyd steamer
Bremen from Southampton last night
is under orders to stop at Falmouth.
She may take some of the passengers
to New York. Most of the passengers
have returned to London and will sail
on the ST. Paul Saturday.
