which sum Is owing to the civil and military

Mrs. J. KUcn Foster, President of the Woman's

Mrs. Foster's subject was "Cuba," but. beforo
starting in on It, she mado somo remarks con
cerning national and local politics which caught
hor audience.
"War Is a beautiful thing," sho said, "com
pared with tho butchery going on In Cuba. Tho
question comes plainly, ' What shall wo do with
Cuba I' Wo said ns a nation to other nations

not allow other nations to Interfere, and wo do
nothing ourselves. Wo cannot movo our Presi

can, the aid to Im applied through tho Red

Sanizatlon between Indixldunls; It Is a treaty
rtweon nations. Cub.i cannot belong lo It for
she Is not n nation. Spain belongs, and her Red
Cioss takes cure of tho Spaniards, who takes
care of the Cubans I Tho American Red Cross
ought to do It. Months ago Clara Ilarton got
permission from the Queen of Spain to enrry
the American Red Cross Into Cuba, but the
people w ere so taken up with tho political nsiwct
nf the nutation that they raised no monoy for
her work. 1 went to Miss Ilarton after tho asso

and asked vt hetner If the monoy wero raised sho
would go or not. Sho stretched out nor bands
snd said: Seventeen years ago I told tho
American pcoplo Ihnt I would tako their money
w hero they chose to send It to tho suffering, and
1 will go. My hnnds are empty. That is tho
reason I uiu not there now."
"The association in Washington has appointed
me Advocate-General. I hnvo been told that
this club has a llttlo money in the treasury, and

Ottawa. Ontario, June 13.-Slr Charles Tup
per directed tho attention of the Government In

Canadian press stating that Col. John Hay had
obtained from tho British Government an under
standing Hint tho llohrlng Hen case should bo
reopened beforo tho expiration of tho terms of
tho Paris nwnrd. Sir Charlos wished to know If
there wns any truth In the report, which ho was
Inclined to credit. Ho nccuscd the Ministry of
playing Into tho hands of tho United State
and neglecting tho Interests of Canada In allow
ing Americans to exploit Iho situation to their
ow n advanlago without protest a courso calcu
lated to mislead tho Imperial Government. Tho
Americans published tho reports of their own
commissioners who had been sent to inquire
Into seal ilfo In tho Ilehrlng Sea. and the great
American Journnls of New ork and other cities
of tho Union were constantly publishing reports
on tho subject, and thus creating a jiubllo uliln
Ion In their fnvor. He charged the Ministry with
unwarratitablo noglect In withholding from pub
lication tho Canadian commissioners report,
which was ndverse to tho Amorlenn contentions.
He veheuiontly declared tho position of tbo
United States as untonable. ,
Tho Minister of Marino ond Flsherlos, reply
ing for tho Government, stated that the Cana
dian cbbo was Irresistible, as compared with
that of rho United States, and that the allega
tion that seal llfo was being dostroyod by
pelagic scaling was entirely unfounded. Ho as
Bured tho Houso that tho rumor that tho Ilehr

foreign to the truth. Tho Infest assurance from
the Imperial Government wns that the Pons
nwnrd would not bo disturbed, oxcoptat tho In
Blanco or with tho assent of Canada, and this
Government would not reccdo from Its deter

Thero was no reason to fear that tho award

The increaso in tbo exports is attributed to an

The demand. In addition to ordinary business.

Havana, via Key West, Juno IB. Ono of tho
moat dramatic Incidents of tho Cuban war hap
pened this morning when Jos Fernandcx was
about to bo oxocutcd. For somo time tho priest
and many of tho most Influential businessmen
and politicians have been circulating a petition
for his pardon.
Yesterday morning thoy presented tho peti
tion to Gen. Weyler, and after examining It ho
told tho priest that, while ho was In favor of
pardoning tho man, ho did not havo tho author
ity to do so, Weyler explained that only tho
Queen Regent had tho authority to pardon blm,
I Tho priest then beggod that ho cnblo the peti
tion to the Queen Regent, which Weylor con
sented to do.
All day news was anxiously lookod for from
Madrid, hut up to tho closing time of tho office
nothing had been received. Most of Fernandez's
frionds lost hope, but tho priest requested that
tho cahlo ofllco remain open all night. Weyler
consented to this, and Instructions were Issued
accordingly. Then came the long and dreary
watch of tho night.
Tbo cable ofllco was besieged all night with In
quiries by telophono and In person from tha
friends of Fernandez, but the night passed away
and morning broke. Still tho pardon had not
come. It was fast noaring tho tlmo for tho exe
cution. At Cabanas fortress the soldiers had been
placed and tho priest was with Fernandez In his
cell. At exactly eight minutes to 7 Fernandez
with two othor condemned men, marched be
tween tho files of soldiers that lined tho way to
the placo of execution.
Tho two Cubans were placed on the death
block, their faces turned from tho executioners.
Tho Spaniard alono was allowed to face the
military. Tho squad of eighteen men was called
to "attention" by Llout. Ramos. Tho death
scntenco was read. Fernandez was hardly ublo
to stand.
Tbo order was given to make ready; then camo
tho order to load. Just as the command was
given to take ntm an attacho of tho Government
was seen coming through tho big gate, hat In
hand, breathless, and struggling with exhaus
tion. He cried out in Spanish, "Stool itopl"
and tho cry was taken up by the crowd.
The courier broko through tho crowd and de
livered the pardon lo tho Lloutonant, who or
dered his men to stack arms. He started to
read tho pardon, but before he had finished Fer
nandez had fainted and been carried away by
friends.
Fernandez was charged with killing his Cap
tain and afterward attempting to Join the In
surgents. He was captured in Matanzas dli
trict and brought to Havana and tried by court
martial, which sentenced him to death
After comparative quiet was restored the
two Cubans were shot.

THE DERELICT OEXERAL BIOLIX.
Cnpl. Herring Tons Her Inla Pert A Bag or
Sllter and a Child's llsdy Found on Board.
Wasimnoton, Juno 18. Tho last chapter In
tho story of the dcrollct schooner General Slglin
has been Mrltteu by Capt William J. Herring
of tho revenue cutter Cons In, and as received
at the Treasury Department to-day. The SIglln
was tbe vessel that drifted about tbe North
Pacific Ocean, waterlogged and dismantled,
1th a dead man lashed to her wheel. Sho waa
tho property of the North American Commercial
Company, and started on bcr disastrous cruise
from San Francisco for Alaska with a crew
of six and five passengers, consisting of an
agent of tho Commercial Company, his
wife, and throe children. When tho first
report of the Slglln's misfortune was received,
Iho Treasury Department, nt the request of
several commercial bodies In San Francisco,
sent revenue cutters to look after her. Capt
Phillips of tho cutter Perry found her near
Uraham Island. He reported that the dead man
had disappeared from his post and that no
bodies were found on board. The direction of
tho wind led Capt Phillips to bellcvo that tho
SIglin would go nshoro on Graham Island, so he
left the dismantled hulk to continue her drift
ing career.
Nothing had been heard of the derelict by tho
Treasury Department since tbat tlmo until to
day, w hen Capt. Shoemaker, chief of tho reve
nue cutter Bervlco, received a letter from Capt.
Herring, dated Port McArthur, Alaska. June 3,
in which he tells of finding the SIglln; and
towing her to Port McArthur, nnd later on to
Sitka.
After hearing from Capt Phillips his story of
the discovery of the derelict Capt. Herring
started out from Sitka In tho Corvrin on May 2D.
He cruised until May 30. when tho wreck was
sighted drifting north-northwest, U3 miles from
tho place v. here sho had been seen by Capt. Phil
lips ten da j s previously.
"The wind was southeast, blowing heavily
and a heavy sea running, making it unsafe to at
tempt lowering a boat," says Capt. Herring in
his letter, "so the Corwln was steamed to lee
ward of the wreck and allowed to drift close by
all night. Next morning I boarded the vessel,
ana after great trouble and labor safely towed
tnc wreck to this port, whero I beached her and
afterward toned her alongside and with steam
pumped her dry. Mucn of tho cargo had washed
out ot the hold during her long and stormy
drift, all bulkheads were washed away,
so that the water swept fore and nfu
After pumping the vessel the search for
the $4,oou commenced, and a canvas
bag neighing about sixty pounds was found
filled with silver coin. hlch I, in presence of all
the officers, hnd sealed with wax and ship's seal.
I feel disappointed in not recovering the entire
sura supposed to lisvo been on board. On Iho
'Jil Inst., we found tho remains of a male child
i sunned in the hold among- the wreckage. We
urled the body on tbe beach, putting up a cross
to mark the grave. It was clothed In a night
shirt, causing me to opine that the vessel bad
been knocked down in the night time. A careful
-oarch was made for more bodies, but none
found. If $4,000 was on board, much of it might
have been in gold coin, so it might have been
taken by the agent when he left tbe vessel, as It
would not have weighed more than twenty
pound:, providing he got safely away from the
wreck (n hlch is very doubtful).
"The entire cargo has perished, and Is of very
little value. The vessel's null is tight and sound,
nnd, with exception of slight damage to deck
and batches, is in good condition. I recovered
the vessel's papers, also valuable papers of W. C.
Greenfield, agent of the N. A. C. Co.. who had
Ills family with him, excepting one son left in
S.in Francisco."
A poetscrlpt to tbe letter, dated Sitka, June 4.
says the derelict's hatches and openings were
made watertight, and she reached there in tow
on that day. Capt. Herring had not decided
what he would do with the vessel when tho let
ter was written.

Providence, It I., Juno 18. During tin f '
mooting ot tho trustees nnd follows of thellrnnn J
University yesterday Congressman Joseph , I
Walker of Worcester nroso and snld Hint he I
considered It his duty lo make a statement u to I ,
certain principles of teaching by President fHC'
Andrews of tho university. His teaching in pi
economics was contrary to the opinion of nearly f
every man In Ilhode Island, consequently Mr,
Walker urged that this Hoard of Fellows of tho
university, who had In charge Its curriculum,
should eoe to It that In his outside work PrcM
dent Androws should not misrepresent the uni
versity, William Goddard of Providence. Chancellor ot
the University, nnd others Indorsed Mr. Walk
er's remarks. A commlttoo consisting of
Chancellor Uoddard, Chief Justlco Durfne, and
Francis Wayland was appointed to confer wiih
President Andrews and notify him of tbo wish
of tho officers that ho retrain from teaching
thcso economic doctrines.
During tho meeting along letter, received by
Dr. Anderson, Bocrctory of tho corporation,
from President Andrews, was read. The letter
was dated at London, ' and in It President
Androws, after telling of tho places he had
visited, said ho would sail for home in about a
month, after witnessing the ceremonies of tha '
Queen's Jubilee.
Tho moetlng ot tha trustees was a long one,
lasting from 10 o'clock until about 3 In the after
noon, and discussions were frequently bested.
It Is said In some quarters tbat it would not b
surprising If President Andrews's resignation
should follow any attempted Interference with
the expression of his private opinions. Others, I
however, assert nothing of the kind is expected I
by tho members of the corporation. I
Except In tho ono matter ot economics It li Jl,
aid each and every member of the corporation
has tho highest regard for President Andrew.
President Andrews's views regarding free sliver
were frequently commented on during the re
cent Presidential campaign, and the prominence
they achieved gave great offence to the buat&na
and professional men of the State.
Scarcely a man of prominence in the commu
nity but condemned President Andrews's posi
tion, and tho official criticism of the corporation
was expected. President Andrews has bcea
abroad about a year in search of health, and it
is understood that in this he was successful.
The outcome of the action ot the corporation U
awaited with interest Af
