H? In regard to reports to the contrary. Acting
H" f Chief of Police McCullagh laid yesterday that
RS the niral parte of the cttr had never ben so
HbT'j t properly policed and that Long Island City hm
ffv I perfoctly protected. All arrangements now In
Hf " force are, of course, In a Rreat degree tentative
ft and temporary, but the Acting Chief la of the
Lwl opinion that thoy nro quite adequate until a
E ! permanent organization of the police In the out
Bfi l Ijlnc dlatrlcta has been effected. Before this
Kfi can bo done, however, many puzzling questions
B,?F ' must bo settled, especially those In reference
Bt ' to the status of theipoUce In tho various towns,
Bj? ) add tho solution of these questions will be the
KiVi Irst work of the new Board of Police.
Hi' As tho matter now stands, Acting Chief Mo
Bp ' Oullagh has all the borough of Queens, where
K ? the trouble. If any, Is expected to arise, close In
Hp touch with himself through his own represent.
LwM Uvea, men in long Island City detailed from
Taw-t the borough of Brooklyn, and In the other parts
I. of Queens from the borough of Manhattan.
Ho remained In his oHlce until 1 o'cloc yester
day morning perfecting the details of the tern
. pornry arrangements, and was at hand again
B while the day was comparatively young. He
Rf stayed in his ofllce all day long, waiting for
K$) something to happen. Nothing did, and ho was
I' therefore quite satisfied that his arrangements
H?t east ail the noods that arose.
Bjp ', Long Island City was the tint part of the city
BE J which claimed his attention. A peculiar situ
Hk atlon exists thore, tor within the last hundred
Hff n days former Mayor Patrick Jerome Gleason
? took, matters into his own hunds and made many
MS changes In tho personnel of the pollco force of
B' 5' that place. There Is a question whether these
B'j; , new men can contlnuo In ofllco in the now great-
B&- ercltr. At first It was thought that they would
Jg, " resist any effort to displace them, and the state
BIk, ;' of affairs caused considerable worry in Mul-
H'n ' berry street. But the worry was for nothing,
S ' ' as the Long Island City men decided to step
MLfK aside and await whatever action the Police
Bpt ;; Board might take in their case. Accordingly,
BMaV Acting Chief McCullagh relieved from duty two
k Captains, seven Sergeants, and nineteen pa
fi! trolmen who had been appointed within tho Inst
Kt 100 days, lhey were Copt. Willlani White and
K. ; Bergcanta Patrick Ward. Peter Farrell. nnd
MM?, .- Patrick Downey of the first Astoia) precinct,
la. and Capt. Bushman nnd BergcantaOnen Woods.
K t Anthony F. Woods, George Fitxgernld. and
VrE Thomas Conror of the Second (Hunter's Point)
K precinct. Sergeant John Carroll of the Ilrst
B& , precinct was retained, as his appointment wns
KV legal. When the Acting Chief had done this
W-l he ordered Inspector Rhodos of the borough of
Kv' ', Brooklyn to take command In Long Island City,
K v and then detailed tho following officers from
MM'j" r Brooklyn to take charge of the precincts: First,
K' s Capt. Horsey, bergeants William White, Fifth
K, precinct; Edward Uallaghcr, Nineteenth pre
K' clnct, and Archibald Black, Twentieth pre
fj clnct. Second, Serceant James Lynch, an act
? 1 lng Captain, Seventh precinct; Sergeants Sam
If ' uel Hancock, Ninth precinct: Daniel Rcardon,
i-f Thirteenth precinct, and Frederick Wills, Sot
a. ' entrenth precinct. These men took chargo 5 es-
t- terday morning, and with tho remainder of the
Ky l Long Island City police that part of Now York
; had all tho protection necessary.
KV i Acting Chief McCullagh looked after the
K-: s aeatterea towns and illagcs as well. From
KS - all of theso that hod a polite forco ho obtained
Ktr y. tho necessary data as to the number of men In
K; each. He was much nh cd In bis plans for the

trj.W ; tncts In the fnct that the rural pollco uhcro

f.- '; they become de facto members of tho motropoli
S j tan forco. Their claim is disputed, but they are
K. f going to bold their jobs and do pollco work until
' ; tlio courts oust them. He found tlint in Col-
Hfifi lege Point there were one Captain, one Sergeant,
f? and six patrolmon; in Whitestone one Captain,

Taa Merry War at the Thirteenth Municipal
District Iteaa'aanrtera Itltt Ragtag.
The court clerks and their friends who aro
besieged In the Thirteenth District Municipal
Court House maintained tbelr vigilant guard
yesterday. The number of defenders was ln
crossed, the sentry at the door was relieved,
and the big yellow dog that has been a terror to
the reconnoitring scouts of Justice Francis J.
Worcester was.relnforced by a snappy, barking
Scotch terrier. It was explained that tho ter
rier was relied upon to make a lot of noise
while the yellow dog ruined the Sunday clothes
of any Intending Inrader.
The sleeping room, or "barracks," as It Is
termed by James A. Mooney, commandant of the
garrison, Is Just to the left of the main entrance.
Three beds, two tablesone upon which to serve
meals and one upon which to play cards and
any number of cosy chairs were added to is
furniture The all night watch is kept by
James A. Mooney, L. J. Du Mahaut, and Adolf
N. Du Mahaut, the chief clerk. Robert An
drews, assistant clerk; Samuel Bowen, Thomas
McGarrlck, and Valentine Ilahn, attendants,
and Max IteenlUer, Interpreter, are held In re
servo to act In case of emergency.
The greatest secrecy Is observed by every
member of tho defensive party. To gain ad
mittance to the Court House yesterday it was
not only necessary to know the exact number of
knocks to give the heavy oaken door, but a ver
bal countersign was also demanded. Yesterday
afternoon John Rooney, who, It Is declared by
the besiegers, haB been appointed Interpreter to
succeed Max Recnltzor, took up a position on
the opposite sldo of tho street. Suddenly ho
was joined by numerous hungry and etger
Cite, for there aro many candidates in Harlom
for the six places Justice M orccster will hare to
fill if he succeeds in proving that he has a rlht
to removo Chief Clerk Du Mahaut, who was ap
pointed one 5 ear ago by Justice Davenport for
u term of six years. Finally, spurred on by the
cold, the little band crossed the street. Up
went tho yellow dog's hair and he gave vent to
an ominous growl.
"Go ahead," said Rooney, pushing a trem
bling dry goods clerk in front of him.
"U'wan yoursolf," replied the clerk.
"Hope you ain't afraid of the dog," said Roo
ney. "No, not exactly, bat "
Just here the yollT.v dog gavo a roar and
panic seized the trembling Cits. The advance
corps broke and retreated. A few moments
luter tbey ga e up tbelr igtL
Justice Wprcoster refused to say yesterday
what he Intended to do, but ho intimated that if
his attempt to oust any of tho clerks was re
sisted he would hold the dedant Republicans in
contempt of court. According to tho statute
he has the power to remove all the clerks aud
attendants with the exception of the chief clerk.
Adolf N. Du .Mahaut. The latter. It is claimed
by Attorne "Abe" Grubcr, counsel for Du
Mahaut, was appointed under the Btatute for a
term of bIx years. The remainder of tho force
will not contest the right of the Judgo to oust
them and appoint the members of the Citizens'
Union who aro after their Jobs, but any effort
to remove Mr. Du Mahaut will meet with re
sistance. The clerk of tho court." said Mr. Qruber. "is
as much a Dirt of the court as the Judge, and
the threat that the court will hold him in con
tempt if he does not relinquish his oflloe is ridic
ulous. If the Judgo insists upon appointing a
chief clerk bo must apply to tho Supreme Court
for a w rit of mandamus, forcing the present
Incumbent to vacate his office in that event
wo can easily win our cause. Until the matter
Is definitely settled, howcicr, I have advised
Du Mahaut to remain in constant personal pos
session of the otllcc."

The C I. V. ta Deroaad the Reaeraatlea ar
Alle-crd AnteKlectloii Promises.
Tho members of the new city administration,
from Mayor Van Wyek down, have, according
to the delegates of tho Central Labor Union,
pledged thcmselvos to support the claims of or
ganized labor, and they will bo called upon to
redeem the pledges. This declaration was
made in the course of a discission of rapid tran
sit ut yesterday's meeting of the O. I-. U. by
Delegate Warner of the Machinists' Union, who
said that the ofllclals put themselves on record
before election regarding organized labor.
Jeremiah Murphy, an old time Knight of
Labor, brought up tho rapid transit question.
Ho was not a delegate, but received the privi
lege of the floor. In the course of a rambling
baranguo Murphy assailed corporations, capi
talists, and The Sitv. He declared that Bishop
Potter wa3 right when he said that England
was better goerned than America, "There is
only one monarch in England," he said, "but
there are 100 hero. Moneyed tramps go from
this countrv to England every year and spend
S31.r.0,O00,OO0."
His Indorsement of Bishop Potter's seal
ments was oidently not popular. Changing
rapidly to another theme, bo announced thnt
workingmen drank too much beer, lorn Plfttt,
Dai id II. Hill, "Dry Dollar" Sullivan, (lorn
bossy,, and '"llie" Allen, he enld, do not drink
nny. lie wound up with the assertion that the
eit) ought to build and own tho underground
inpld transit road.
Tho delegated who followed Murphy said
lhey didn't c are whether the city or a sj ndlcate
did the work, provided the ldlo received em
plo) ment ut union rules of w ages. 'I hen Delc
gatu W urner made bis announcement. He
until that he nad made It bis business before
election to get from all cundidutos for t-ity
jtllces pledges that workingmen in the new clt
rccehe the preference In all city work. ''I
was accused of chasing after the politicians,"
he said, "and the accusation was true. I did it
in behalf of organized labor. I went to both
Republicans anil Democrat), nnd got them to
make pledges. I was at a meeting where all tho
nh;h otttcinls who wcrn elected pledged thein
Helcs to stand by organized labor in Sew York.
'Iho went in on those pledges."
This annoiini 1 mi'iil caused a commotion,
man) deUgntfH deilnrlng that the eit) otlltlaln
mtiht be kent to their ph dues. A enmmlttmnf
file hnd been appointed at last week V. meeting
of the Building 1 rodes section to see that union
men onl bo employed on rnpld transit work,
and to this committee Dvo more members wore
added yesterday auil Iho Secrctury was in
structed to write toMn)or Vim Wvck asking
him to set a date when the wholo cotnmltteo
could see him nbout rapid transit and the al
leged pledges.

club tho headquarters of the Democratic
party of tho Unltod States, if It Is possible. It
is 'expected thnt tlio Kxdlng Democrats of
all tlio boroughs of Nc York city will
join tho club nltbin a few months. .Senator
Murphj's action in becoming a nonresident
member will be followed.it is thought, b) tho
Influential men in the part) throughout tbe
Htate. And the fact that Hcnntor Gorman of
Maryland his decided to join tbe club will In
duce manj of the statesmen of other parts of
the countrr to enter the organization.
Mr. Crokerwll! make tho club his headquar
ters, und. it was said jesterdn, would not visit
tho wigw in on Fourteenth street to tiansnet
an) business. Two front rooms on tho second
floor b ire been set aside for his use. J loth over
look Kiflh avenue, mid each has in entrance
fr6m the hall. One will bo Mr. Croker's private
office. 'Iho other will be used as a reception
room for his visitors. A largo bedroom, on
the third floor, will be set annrt for him.
so tiat it ho desires at an) time to
sleep at tho club be mny do to. In tho rear of
the building on the second floor Is n dining
room. Here dinners w 111 be icrtcd wbenover it
is thought that any good ulll come from them.
There is also a room on tbo sicond floor that
may be used for committee meetings. As much
of tho house as is needed u III be given up to Mr.
Croker and his friends tor tholr work.
Three weeks aero tbe oflkcrs of the club ar
ranged to sell the house at auction In February.
Last week they notified tho auctfom er that his
services would not bo needed and called In an
architect to driw plans for tho addition of threo
stories to the building. They will bo of steel
construction, nnd w ill be built as souu ns is pos
sible. Thero will be a number of commlttco
rooms in thn new upper stories and the rest of
the room will be made into bedrooms. An ele
vator will be put in and a ono-story ad
dition to the rear will be built and
roofed with glass. This will bo used as a
smoking room. A chef has been hired, and tho
club dining room will be opened again on Tues
day night. ....
In the cinys when the club was prosperous the
dining room was one of Its features. Mnuy
political dinners were eaten there, and thn fuc
tlons of tbe party met around Its tnblo and set
tled many of their differences. Tlio ofllccrs ex
pect tho t the club will not onl rcguln tho posi
tion it bold, hut will hecomo more powerful than
over uuder Mr. Croker's patronage.
The Democrntlo Club Is tlio successor to tho

of 1.0U0 or more. It Is expected that at least

He stood at the ccntrcpolnt of time, nnd
watched the years nod all tho ndjacent part of
tho Ilowery revolving around him. When first
discovered ho was' talking in low and confiden
tial tones to an elevated road pillar which was
lending him considerable assistance In the mat
torotpreiorvlng his equilibrium. Several ad
miring and more or less envious Ilowery
strollers halted to observe him and passed on,
remarking;
"That's a peach of a hang-over Now Year's

Then came a plain and substantial Good
Samaritan, who took him by the nrm and saidt
"What's tho matter, uncle I Deen celebrat

The ruralnatlvo man transferred his attention
and his grasp from tho pillar to the newcomer,
and observed Impassively:
"I'm an educated gentleman and wish to be
treated ns such."
"Very good, sir," replied the Bamarltan.
" What car. I do for you I"
"I'm a calendar," announced the other. "I'm
a Now Year's calendar nnd I'm full of figures."
The Simsrltan mado no observation (or which
there Is a written equivalent.
"Did you laugh, sir!" Inquired the calendar.
"Not on )our life," tbe Good Samaritan as
sured btm. " Where do ou live I"
"Noxer mind that. I'm u calendar and I've
lost my dates. What 1 wish to know la: Is this
last year or next year I"
"This is this year," replied the Samaritan,
being a matter-of-fnct sort or uerson.
"You don't understand, my friend." replied
tho unsteady one, making a clutch at an evan
escent chimera that went floating by his vision.
"I'm a gentlemanly calendar, but my figures
are twisted. It Is very painful." And ho ex
hlblted symptoms of weoplng.
"Don't do that." said the other hastily,
"Draco up. Run man and tell mo what's the
matter with you."
"I will explain." said thocalcndar very slowly
and distinctly. "I wlllcxiilnln until I get to tbe

dolt right I will present ou with a valuable

The Mmnrltnn scratched his ear thoughtfully.

"Neither do I," said the calendar, cheerfully.
"Not a bit. I tried to work it out with a pencil

"One yenr." responded tbeSmarltan prompt

ready bean received at tho dopartment,and many
contributions have undoubtedly gone direct to
Consut-Gencral Lee at Havana, ns advised by
Secretary Sherman In his appeal sent out on
Christmas t-ve. There was no concentrated ef
fort made, however, to further the relief scheme
until It was arranged with Miss Clara Barton
fnr the establishment of a central headquarters
In New York for the collection of money and
supplies. In order to secure the cooperation of

to-night. Tbe statement follows:
" In view of the steps now being taken by tbe

"Contributions of money are also urgently
needed to enable the purchase of Immediate

0,000 Soldiers Helararee the Patriots In
Havana Province Anilely in the City.
Havana, 9an. 1, via Key West, Jan. 2.
Twenty-fife hundred insurgents from Santa
Clara and Puerto Principe have Invaded the
province of Havana in several bands. They
come hero under the instructions of Gen.
Gomez, who sent them to reinforce the Cuban
army of Gen. Alejando Rodriguez, in view of
the strong efforts now making by tbe Spanish
to suppress the revolution in Havana. With
these reinforcements tho patriots have shown
great activity, especially around Jaruco, where
Brlg.-Gen. Nestor Aranguren Is now operating.
Gens. Mayia Rodriguez and Ducasl of the In
surgent annv had a conference two days ago at
Blangulzar, PInar del Rio. Their forces, united
In that place, number more than 2,000 men.
It is believed thnt tbey intend to attack some
town In that province.
The town of Cano, raldod yesterday by the In
surgents, is within sight of Havana. Whllo the
Autonomist Cabinet began Its functions to-day
under the now regime and the whole city Is In
an uproar over tho quarrels between the
Autonomists nnd Conservatives and tbe threats
of tho latter to creato serious trouble, the
patriots fire on the suburbs of tbo capital every
day and tbe horizon is red with the flames of the
caneflclds burned by them.
Tbe r-panlnrds and tho Autonomist Cubans in
tho capital do not understand ono another. The
fepanlardsaredliided, tbe Conservatives calling
those who havo accepted autonomy traitors,
while the Autonomists call tbe Conservatives
abettors of tbo revolution. Many Autonomists,
on the other hand, nre very much disgusted
with tbelr leaders, Galrez, Montoro, and Fer
nandez dq Castro, who were lod by their fear'to
support Wcjlcr up to tho last day of his com
mand in Cuba, und they also took part In tbe
demonstration held in honor of the butcher.
