POLITENESS REWARDED
Woman Wills 100000 to Cour,
teous Bellboys.
BY Telegraph to The Tribune.


Albany, June 6.-Politeness to an aged
woman has gained fortunes for three
affable bellboys, according to will
which was probated here to-day by Sur
rogate Van Derze. The woman was
Mrs. Hanna DwiL. Green. who was
eighty one years old when she died. "a
few months ago. She divides her estate
of about 100000 among the three young
men. stating that the bequests are re-
wards to them for the friendship and
courtesy they showed her while stopping
at the hotels In which they worked. The
lucky bellboys are Edwin j. Greenwood,
who is employed at hotel In Littleton,
n. H.; George Hedenburg, OF Providence.
and Frank ,Donegan, Of Boston.
Mrs. Green was an old resident OF this
city. but spent the last years of her life
at the hotels where these boys worked.
Her niece is the widow Of Lucky" Bald
win. and Charles and Samuel Bowles,
owners of THE Springfield Republican"
are her nephews. Her estate was made
nm from savings from allowances which
thew made to her for years previous to
her death. A large part of her money
was invested in New York, New Haven
g. Hartford Railroad and United States
Steel stocks.

LONSDALE ANSWERS SLOAN
Sporting Authority Replies to
Criticisms of Jockey.
IBy Cable to The Tribune. ]

London. June THE indictment OK
English Jockeys by Tod Sloan is arous-
ing extraordinary interest in racing cir
cIes here. Lord Lonsdale. one Of the
greatest English authorities on sport,
does not altogether agree with Sloan, but
sees many faults in English riding. He
traces the origin of most of these faults
to the introduction Of the American seat,
and not to any want Of pluck or nerve.
This. he says, prevents the present gen.
Grafton of English boys from riding as
we'll as their predecessors, whose fault
was the adoption of the unnatural Amer
icar seat. with its absurdly short leath-
ers.
This practice, Lord Lonsdale considers.
is nlaving havoc with riding in this coun-
try.
Mr. Raphael, the owner of the Derby
winner. thinks that Sloan bases his opin-
ian on false grounds and that 1t Is un-
fair TO say that English boys lacked
nerve and initiative because but few ex-
bibitions Of consummate horsemanshp
were seen. Jockeys, he adds, are so
carefully instructed nowadays as to how
"a meet contingencies that but little
scope is allowed them for any display of
individuality

Preparing to Defend Santiago.

Great alarm continues at Santiago
where preparations are being made TO
defend the city American and other
foreign property owners estimate that
nearly 900 troops are needed TO protect
the plantations and mines. only uniln-
portant skirmishes are reported from the
theatre Of operations. Tranquility is re-
ported throughout the island. except in
Oriente. where the suspension of the con-
stitutional guarantees was proclaimed
this morning.
Chief of Police Aguirre announced late
to night that he had visited all the out
lying districts of the capital and had
failed TO discover any indications Of a
negro uprising.
Military operations in the province OF
Oriente have been brought to halt, due
10 the apparent failure OF General
Monteagudo's original plan of campaign,
which comprehended a simultaneous ad-
vance into the territory occupied by the
Insurgents Of heavy columns of infantry,
accompanied by artillery and rural cav
airy. The character of the region. which
is mountainous, covered with heavy for
ests and destitute Of practicable roads.
appears to make such tactics impossible.
General Monteagudo now depends upon
reinforcing his regular organizations
with plantation guards who have been
released from duty by the arrival or
American marines, especially I'm the
vicinity Of Guantanamo City, dividing
his forces into smaller units and increas-
Ing them by bodies Of regular troops,
mostly mounted, who have been re-
crulted I'm the province and are familiar
with the scene of the operations. TINS
will involve considerable delay before
the troops can be so disposed as to com
pei the insurgents to accept combat
Rains Interfere with Operations.
The military situation closely resem-
bles that i'm 1S91-'9S, when small bodies
OF Cuban patriots. operating in the same
locality, long successfully evaded pur-
suit by much larger bodies Of Spanish
regulars. The difficulty Of the military
Operations has greatly increased be-
cause of the torrential rains now re-
ported prevalent in a large part Of the
Island
