The Authorities Feel Confident it

 Havana, Oct. H-Dr. Mendez Capote president of the Cuban Senate, and a member of the Loan Commission which has just returned from New York speaks hopefully of the prospects of the loan which he expects will be carried through in January.

MISSIONARY MEETING.
Some of the Speakers Thought There
 Was Work at Home

was WoTk Ut nome.
 Philadelphia, Oct. H.-Three interesting meetings were held today by the Eastern Missionary Convention of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the Academy of Mu- sic. The general topic of the day was the Difficulties in the Worlds Evangeli- zation."
 One of the principal addresses of the morning session was that of the Rev Dr. H. K. Carroll. Assistant Correspond ing Secretary of the Missionary Society. who spoke on Home Missions He devoted most of his address to the negro question and gave 1t as his opinion that in Chris tian missionary work at home lies the so- lution of the race problem. The black man has claims upon us to which we can not be indifferent" he said. He consti- tutes more than one-tenth of our popula- ton and he is not dying out like the red man, nor committing race suicide like the white man, but Is increasing and multi plying
 He believed that the Gospel was not only the surest, but the cheapest way in the end of solving the race problem, flor where men can say as Christians. We are brethren.' no police power" he added. will be necessary to constrain them to dwell in peace and unity.
 pr. Carroll attacked Mormonism. He said a Methodist has almost as much faith in the religion of Moslem as in that of Mormonism, the foundation Of which was laid in fraud and its history was drought with violence and crime. There is no section in all our territory. he continued, mo people among all our citizens more in need of the Gospel than Utah and the Mormons. It is the plague spot of our civilization, the open sore of our body polite"
 Rev. E. J. Helms of Morgan Memorial Church, Boston, also spoke on home mis- sions, He declared that trades uniona should be Christianized. If we were wise," he said, i've should see to it that from our schools and seminaries, every year we would send missionaries into these great labor organizations to make them Christian. Here is open wonder ful opportunity to which the church thus far has been blind"

GRAND CAYAMAN,
The Inhabitants Are in a Bad Con-
 dition,


 Mobile. Ala, Oct 14-Accordlng to prl- vate information receivd in this city from Georgetown, Grand Cayaman, the conditions on the islands are deplorable and the people are suffering from fever since the flood. It is also stated that the supply of food is scant.
 The breaking out of the malady is att triouted directly to the decaying fruit and sap trees which were felled by the storm and the numerous cattle that per ished.
 The letter also states that small do- nations of food are coming from var ous sources, but hardly sufficient to ,e isve the sufferings of the poorer classes. From the tone of the letter, 1t is the impress sion of Cayamanians in this city that the fever will spread over the island and will wipe out any number of the inhabitants unless something Is done to check its course. On the island there are only two physicians, one of whom is a young n an of limited experience, while the other ts rather an old man.

LODGED THE QUESTION.
Could Not Take Cognizance as it
 Was Not Officinl.

Louisville, Ky. Oct. H.-By fair sized majority the members of the Union Vet erans Union to-day voted down a reso- lution disclaiming any intention to wound the feelings of SOutherners in singing Wen hang Jeff Davis on a sour apple tree" The incident which gave rise to the resolution occurred at a public re- ception for the members. given last night in a large hall. A Louisville member started the song and 1t was taken up by a large number of the delegates. At the executive session late this afternoon when the resolution was introduced the point was raised that the order was not in executive session at the time the in- cident occurred and that 1t could not be construed as an official expression, but only that of some of the individual members.
 The only other business of importance transacted during the executive sessions was the election of officers, which re- suited in the selection of A. M. Legg of Washington, D. C., as commander-in- chief. to succeed General Dyrenforth, who refused to ask reelection, al- though urged to do so.

HEARD CRIES THROUGH DARKNESS
Charles ]. Day. who first discovered the
plight of the men. tells a most interesting
story of the rescue. The Day home is sit
uated on what is known as the State yard.
near the foot Of Porter avenue. Shortly
after 10 o'clock Monday evening. as Day
was returning to his home from downtown.
he fancied he heard the voices of men com.
ing from the direction of the river. A
first he paid but little attention to the
cries. thinking 1t was but the echo of the
voices of men further along the river bank
near the water front.
Just as he was entering his door. how
ever, he again heard the cries of the men.
who were Justify yelling for help. Day
hallooed back to them and managed to un>
derstand that they were in danger and were
stranded on the reef. Day Immediately
aroused his two brothers. who live nearby.
and together the three men. without once
thinking of their own danger. launched a
light skiff and pulled out into the river in
the direction from whence the sounds came.
AT that time the river was filled with i'm
rlense foes and cakes of floating fee. which,
carried along by the swift current. threat
eaed every moment to crush the small craft
like an egg shell. Darkness enveloped the
river. and the courageous rescuers were
guided only by the cries of the men on the
| reef. Two of the men manned the oars of
the small craft. while the other sat In the
| bow. with q huge pike pole. staving off the
heavier cakes which bumped against the

they managed to reach the reef where the

were the two men.
BACK OVER DANGEROUS PATH,
After considerable maneuvering the two
men were hauled aboard the skif. and over
the same dangerous way they were brought
across the river and safely landed on shore.
The men were taken to the nearest house,
and, after drying their clothing and recov.
er!ng their strength. left their rescuers
without giving their names.
The two men. it was afterwards learned,
started from the foot of Erie street shortly
