CHARGED WITH DESERTION.
Anton fanny Says Capt. BeIknap
Would Not Permit Him to Re-
turn to the Dixie.

New York, March 2.-On board the
German ship Camelia, which arrived to-
night from Marseilles, was Anton F.
fanny, who, it is alleged, deserted from
the United States training ship Dixie
while she was at the port of Bizerta,
Tunis, last November. When seen to-
night fanny said he with two other men,
Walter Miller, of Jersey City and Her
man Green of New York, left the Dixie
on the evening of Nov 16 to go ashore for
a good time. They returned in the morn
ing, and according to fanny Capt. Bel
KNAPP of the Dixie refused to allow them to
return to his vessel. He says the French
vice admiral at Bizerta cabled to the
American consul in Paris in regard to
fanny and his friends, but that the con-
sui in Paris refused to have anything to
do with the matter.
The English consul at Bizerta then took
up a subscription to raise money to trans
port them to Marseilles, where they might
sail for home. 1t was not until Feb 5,
that fanny got an opportunity to leave
Marseilles for the United States, when
he shipped as a sailor on the ship Came
liza. fanny is 20 years of age, and his
home is in Chicago. fanny was taken off
the Camelia by officers tonight and TAX

CUBANS MAY ACCEPT
SENTIMENT is COMING AROUND
WONDERFULLY.
SANGUILLY'S SUDDEN CHANGE.
PUBLIC SENTIMENT NOW FAvoRs
ACCEPTANCE.

Gen. SnnguiIIy, Who Was at First "A
Habtd Opponent of the Plat
Amendment, Publishes His Views,
Urging Acceptance-Indepe
With Restrictions Preferable to
Military Rule, He says-Let the
Americans Have the Isle of Pines
md Coaling Station, TOO-Wiil
Save Cuba Expense of Army and
Navy.
Havana, March 21.-An element of doubt
now exists as to what will be the final
attitude of the Cuban Constitutional Con-
vention. The preponderence of public
opinion in favor of the Plat amendment
during the last few days is having its
effect upon the radical members, and
Gen. Sanguily's press utterances to-day
further tend to weaken the strength of
the radicals. Gen. Sanguily was the
most radical of all the delegates. He
favored dissolving the convention when
the United States Congress adopted the
amendment Recently he has expressed
in private the views to which he has now
given public expression, but few expect
ed him to maintain the stand. He now
says:
"A literal Interpretation of the Piatt
amendment might mean the loss of Cuban
independence; but the liberal view which
President Mckinley and the convention
would give would leave nothing to be
feared by the Cubans. l do not believe
that by waiting we would get better terms
from the next Congress. Independence
with some restrictions is preferable to a
continuance of military rule, which would
surely follow a rejection of the Platt
amendment
If the Americans want the Isle of
Pines, am in favor of giving 1t to them.
1 am also in favor of establishing coal
ing stations on some of the keys or at
some of the small ports. The presence
of the authority of the United States will
be guarantee of our independence so far
as exterior safety is concerned and will
save US the enormous expense of main
tanning an army and navy
May Submit Report To-day.
The committee on relations did not re-
port to-day. Probably it will submit its
report to individual members of the con
vention tomorrow. The view asserted in
the report that the question of establish
ing relations cannot be settled by the
convention but should be left to the flu
ture republic is liable to cause a break
in the radical ranks. The conservative ee-
ment is endeavorin gto keep the conven-
ton from taking a final vote on the ques-
ton until commission has been appoint
ed to wait upon Gov. Gen. Wood or to go
to Washington.
Gen. Miles, who has returned from the
Isle of Pines, visited the convention with
Senior de Quesada and met many dele
gates, whose acquaintance he formed dur
ing the Spanish-American war. He adj
vised them not to act hastily with refer
ence tothe amendment, pointing out that
the people of the United States had moth
ing to say but in praise of the constitu-
ton, and that the amendment was only
carrying out the Teller resolution and fur
nishing. further guarantee of Cuban indie
pendence.
United States Senator Redfeld Proctor
arrived in Havana to-day.

CALIFORNIA; ORANGE CROP.
Railroads Unable to Move 1t and
Millions of Dollars Worth Rot
ting on the Ground.

Chicago. March 21.-Officials of the
Santa Fe Railroad to-day confirmed re-
ports from California that millions of dol
lars worth of oranges in that state are
rotting in the packing houses and on the
grounds of the groves because of lack OF
transportation facilities to move the enor-
nous crop. According to w. B Jason, as
sistant to President Ripley, the trouble is
not entirely due to a dearth of cars.
The railroads." he said, "have moved
cut OF Southern California 80 per cent
more oranges than at this time in pre-
Fious years. The crop is enormous and
""lng to the way it ripened 1t is extreme
~ delicate and will not last through the
season. In fact it is my belief that the
orange growers who have already mar
keted large crop will save money If they
.e, the remainder rot on the ground. Our
Whoie trouble has been because of the
eoaI strike in New Mexico. We under
1a'lu mat the situation there is rapidly
Improving, so that the orange growers are
low getting relief"

THE RUSSIAN POLICE
SEND OUT QUEER REPORTS of THE

1T Is NOT DENIED THAT SEVERAL.
WE'RE KILLED.

A distorted Account Given of the Do
place All the Blame ON Them for
the TroubIe-Instead of Desecrat-
iuw a Church the Students Were
Driven There by the COssacks.
police Had Made Hospital Arrange
ments beforehand.
ST Petersburg, March Alt is signifi-
can't that the police report on the recent
riots, though published, as expressly
stated, in order to correct false rumors
concerning the riots, does not deny the
most serious of the rumors circulated,
which are to the effect that men and wo-
men were killed here and elsewhere. The
report does not mention the subject of
the students. 1t gives, however, the
names of four who died here, including
one woman.
The report is not generally credited
with being an impartial statement. 1t
is claimed that the passage relating to
the disturbance in the church is particu-
larly distorted, manifestly, it is said, to
preiudice the devout masses against the
students, the intellectual element, and
the factory workmen-
The statements that students entered
the church smoking cigarettes, that
student struck a priest and another stu.
dent caught the chief priest rudely by
the arm are discredited by eye witnesses.
The facts are the trouble occurred en-
tirely outside the church until the Cos
sacks pressed three hundred persons into
the church and fought them to the back
wall 1t is also denied that holy water
was used to dress the wounds. The stu
dents, sent church servant expressly
for other water. 1t is learned now that
the police not only prepared for the event
themselves, but made previous arrange
ments at one of the hospitals for the an
ticpated wounded. They also had car
riages ready in neighboring court yards.
The lectures will hardly be possible for
the remainder of the year at any of the
higher institutions.
The participation of the factory hands
in the riots is considered extremely grave,
so far as the future is concerned.
1t is understood that measures will be
taken Monday to forestall the possible
marching of laboring men from the SUI
burbs to the center of the city.
The Society of Russian Authors has
sent to all the ministers protest against
the conduct of the police and Cossacks.
Strike troubles have broken out in the
largest of the local iron works.

C0MTE DE NUNS ADDRESS.
French Schools May Change Gods
Every Year IL Association Bill
Becomes N Inv.

Paris, March A.-Comte de Nun, Con-
sentative, made a notable speech in the
Chamber of Deputies to-day during the
discussion of article XIV. of the law of
associations, the purpose of which is to
suppress teaching by religious orders.
Its fate is deeply interesting to the
middle classes and to the aristocracy, who
largely entrust the education of their chill
dren to religious establishments. Comte
de Nun declared that the proposition of
the article simply implied a tyrannical
state monopoly of education.
THE delicate question of what doc
trine should be taught to children" he
said, Ought not to depend upon changing
parliamentary majorities. Otherwise we
may have the God of Jules Simon during
one legislature, no God at all during the
next and the true God for the following
four years by majority vote"

men OF sharp practice, who always tried
to get the better OF their opponents. He

was against Canada. Other speakers who
