DELAY LIKELY TO BE SHORT.

Washington. May S1.-The war de- partment received to-day the following dispatch from General Shafter:
 General Otis arrived this evening in good health. On account of several cases of smallpox on board he will not be able to land for several days, He will take first train east after landing.
 "Shafter, Major Genei al"
 Surgeon General Sternberg says that the delay in General Otis landing will be very short, and the quarantine off, cers will probably pass him through as soon as his effects have been thorough ly fumigated, assuming that he has not been personally in contact with any of the smallpox cases.
 General Otis probably will come di- rectly to Washington, and will go thence to Rochester, R. Y, to be pres ent at the demonstration in his honor June 15. The general will be given an extended leave of absence and when he has thoroughly recuperated he will, it is expected, be assigned to the command of the department of the lakes, with headquarters at Chicago

CYCLE PAYH PRoJEoT CONSIDERED
A Large Meeting of Interested Wheel
 men Held Lust Night

| A meeting of those wheemen inter
 ested in the building of the proposed new cycle path to connect this city and Bridgeport was held last evening at the
 parlors of the Young Mems Republican
 club in the clubhouse at the corner of
 Temple and Crown streets. A large at tendance was present and much inter-
 est in the project was manifested. Sev- eral Bridgeport men who are connect
 ed with the movement in that city to-
 wards building the path were present
 and told of what had been done in their
 city towards carrying out the plans. l.. P. Bristol, president of the Ram bier Wheel club of Bridgeport, said that it had been estimated that the ap-
 proximate cost of building the track
 would be $4,O00, this for track four
 feet wide with a foundation of six inch
 es of gravel, two. inches of trap rock
 over the gravel and two inches of cin-
 der screenings for q top dressing.
 W. w. Smith. treasurer of the
 Bridgeport cycle path organization, said
 that about S1,000 had been raised in
 Bridgeport. He thought that $500 would be secured in Milford
 Secretary James Sammis of the Bridgeport organization said that one of those interested in the project was c. B. Bunnell, the well known manager of theaters in this city and Bridgeport. He said that it had been reported that MT Bunnell would donate the use of theater here for a benefit entertain ment for the path fund. MT. Sammis said that considerable money had been raised in Bridgeport by the sale of side path tags. In New York state, under a state law, no rider is allowed to ride on a cycle path unless he has paid fee and received a tag ehtitling him to use the path. MT. Sammis said that an attempt would be made to have sim liar law passed at the next session of the Connecticut legislature, In Bridge port articles of all descriptions have been donated to be sold for the benefit of the path fund and a considerable sum has been realized from this source. The Bridgeport Brass company has do- mated S100 and three dry goods mer- chants of that city have given $25. Owners of refreshment stands along the route of the proposed path are ready to contribute and d large addition to the fun has been promised by owners of stands at Savin Rock.
 After hearing the Bridgeport men and discussing the project the meeting appointed committee to take the preliminary steps towards forming an organization here to work for side path The committee consists of John F. Gaffey, president of the Young Mems Republican club: L. r. Sperry, captain of the Y. M R. c, Bicycle club; Secre- tary Lotze of the Y. M. c. A.. w. A. Schappa of the Clipper Wheel club, Ar thur Griggs. the well known Center street bicycle dealer; H. H. Guernsey. MT. Pfeiffer of the Germania Wheel club. William M F'risbie, Robert Shu rig, C. F. Larom and Edward Collett. A meeting of this committee will be held next Tuesday night.
 The aim of this project is to make the path between New Haven and part of the system of paths with which it is intended to con- meet New York and Boston.
