THE LONG ISLAND ROAD PUR-
CHASE.
President Hall Regards the Move as
Friendly.


President Hall Regards the Move as
Friendly.
1t is believed that the New York Cen
trail is in partnership with the Penn
sylvania in the Long Island road and
that the two companies Jointly will
hereafter control the Long Island road.
President Hall when asked about the
matter expressed the view that the
main object Of the deal was securing
new terminals for the Pennsylvania,
which has hitherto been somewhat re-
stricted at New York, In his opinion it
was part of a large terminal scheme
which included plans also for new
Pennsylvania terminal on the New Jer-
sey shore opposite Bellows Island,
where the Pennsylvania already owns
property. President Hall saw nothing
in the. purchase hostile to New Haven
railroad interests, but, on the contrary,
considered it favorable.
In railroad circles here the reported
plan of the Pennsylvania of establish
ing connection with New England by
boat from eastern Long Island is re-
garded with some interest, as involving
possible diversion of through freight
from the New Haven road. 1t is not,
however, regarded as probable as, while
the Pennsylvania would in that case Sc
cure a longer haul, it would have to
break bulk on freight, and the suggest
ed line would not be used by passen-
gers. The present and prospective val
ue of the Brooklyn and Long Island
traffic in itself is emphasized as one mo-
tive for the purchase, but there is an
evident feeling that something Interior
and of greater railroad Importance lies
behind it.

manner.
THE naval guns and the artillery

two five inch guns used for the first time
with this force.

few-only fifteen wounded one killed

Report of Its Occupation by the British
Confirmed.
London, May THE capture of Win
burg by the British is confirmed and the
main advance to Pretoria continues with
the machine-like percision and rapidity
which have characterized all Lord Rob
erts' forward movements. by the occI-
patton of Winburg General Ian Hamil-
ton put himself nearly parallel With
Lord Roberts and only twenty-nine
miles eastward, while he has the addi-
tional advantage of being connected
with his chief by means of the RAILROAD
that runs from Smaldeel, or Winburg
Rood station, as 1t is sometimes called
to Winburg.
The only feature of the carefully de-
vised plan of general advance not yet
disclosed is the part General Butler is
to take in the operations. At present
there are no indications of any move
ment by the Natal army. Doubtless
few days time will bring out the British
line of action before the Biggarsburg.

DEATH OF MRS. ROBERT STEVENS
Adeila Amanda Youngs, widow Of
Robert Stevens, died Sunday evening at
her residence on Howard avenue. Mrs.
Stevens had been failing for some time,
but during the past ten days her con-
dition had been critical. She was de-
scendant Of the Rev. John Youngs, who
came to this city about the time the
Rev. John Davenport arrived, fle was
deputized by the New Haven Colony to
take flock to Long Island, and Youngs
and his followers settled at the east end
of Long Island, established the colony
at Southold, l.. l., the oldest town in
the state of New York. She was born
in Greenport, L. |. She was a woman
of great Christian purity and clear I'M
Outstanding. She took considerable
pride in her work of distributing chart
ty, although through channels of her
own selection, and without ostentation.
She was devoted to her family, and with
a kindly interest to those outside her
immediate household.

the majority Of the large laboring class
of means Of livelihood.
This large body OF laboring people
furnishes the very cheap and effective
labor which is needed for agriculture
and other work. but at all times they
have been in an underfed and poorly
nourished condition. Their hardships
have been greatly added to by the
scarcity Of fruit since the hurricane
and its consequent increase In price.
Salt fish, rice and beans have been
imported free Of duty since the hurri-
cane but little Of the benefit derived
from this has gone 10 the poems, and
now. when there is prospect Of 10
per cent of the Dingley tariff bill be-
ing placed on these articles, the price
has been greatly advanced, Mer-
chants hesitate to import large stocks
because Of the prospect OF free trade
and the present scarcityis also cause
for the advance in prices.
Rice has gone up from five and six
centavOs a pound to eight and nine;
beans from six to twelve and at one
time. few days ago. TO fifteen eenta-
vos a pound. while salt fish has ad-
vanced from six centavos to about ten.
No one who understands the situa-
ton mere will deny that much of the
former good feeling between Puerto
Ricans and Americans has been lost
Besides Americans are fewer in num-
bers in Puerto Rico today than at any
time since shortly after the troops first
landed and those departing have left

rupt business, wrecked schemes and
anxious creditors, who. in some cases.

notes and checks. Not only are Ameri-
cans leaving the island, but large num-
bers of Puerto Ricans have gone to
Venezuela, 70 Santo Domingo and to
Cuba Three days ago more than 300
natives sailed for Cuba TO obtain em-
ployment there and at leas: thous-
and sailed from this port alone during
the last three months. Much livestock
is also being shipped to Cuba. The
greatest loss to Puerto Rico in this
respect is in the large cargoes Of mag
nifcent cattle, which it will take years
to replace.

POLITICS IN HAVANA.
Democratic Union Party Afraid
Of the Americans-Wan a
Party Formed.

HAVANA, April 12.-The democratic
union party held a meeting to discuss
the question of the advisory board re-
ferred TO in the recently published pro-
gram of the party, which has been
attacked by the opponents Of the move
ment. AS a result Of the meeting a
circular was issued explaining that the
advisory board was intended to be
transitory in nature and only designed
as means TO help the Cubans secure
some voice in the management Of af-
fairs while the period of Intervention
lasted. The circular emphatically dis
claimed any intention, by the insti-
tuition Of an advisory board, to assist in
prolonging the intervention period.
Senior Pierra, one Of the leaders Of
the democratic union party, has pub
lished letter in answer to the persist
ent attacks of the Discussion, a leading
newspaper, upon the members Of the
federal party. He says:
ing the advent of the autonomists in
the political field, were recently en-
deavoring to persuade the autonomists
to join them in forming a party"
GualbertO Gomez and Manuel San
gully, leaders Of the federal party.
have published a retort to this, in the
course of which they say:
In private conferences which took
place between ourselves and the leaders
Of the democratic union party, the lat
ter expressed themselves as being very
distrustful Of the Americans, as doubt
full regarding the fulfillment Of the
joint resolution Of congress, and as
confident that in any event, the in
tervention would last many years. The
democratic union leaders said it would
be better to form party charged with
the care and development Of the re-
sources Of the country and with bring
ing about civic reforms, especially as
everything might end in Cuba not get
ting independence after all. AS for
ourselves, our position consists in 10y
ally accepting the promises Of the
Americans and we shall work for i'm
mediate Intervention considering every
pOstponement unjustifable."
The leaders of the democratic union
party rejoined with this:
we have not doubted the sincerity
of the Americans, but we have doubted
their ability to establish stable gov
ernment in Cuba with the existing lack
