London, June 3a Tho Pall Mall
Gazette this aftorcoon prints tho fol
lowing dispatch from its correspond
nt at Madrid: Tubllo attention I
engrossed by the appointment of Gen
oral Stewart L. Woodford ns UnKcd
States mtntstor to Spain. While the
gorornmont continues to repudiate
the intention of recalling General
Weyler, I am in a position to reiterate
that his recall will bo ao. accomplished
fact.at no distant date. I learn that
In all probability Generals JJlanco and
Mucins will proceed to tho Island and
divide the supreme command, an I
have good reason to believe that, co
incident with the arrival here of Gen
eral Woodford, Marshal Martinez
Campos will proceed upon z, separate
mission to Cuba. In accordance with
the wishes of President McKlnley,
Martinez Cumpos should bo tho exec
utor of any arrangements possibly
reached betweon Spain and the United
States."
Havana, Juno 30. In nn address to
the local authorities in tho palace o'f
Santiago da Cuba last night, Captain
General Weyler said that ho was thoro
to pacify that part of the island, and
that, though he was strongly desirous
of poee, his system of making war
was to be rigorous toward the "rebels"
who refused to accept the clemency
which Spain, through him, offerod to
them, lie added:
"Notwithstanding the examples in
rigor set by other colonial nations, I
attend to the reconstruction of the
wealth of the island. This was the
purpose which inspired my last de
crees, and I propose to continue this
policy, although I have been compelled
in some instances to countenanco des
truction, owing to the fact that cir
cumstances have made it necessary in.
some cases to destroy tho resources of
the rebels."
The captain general then referred
to tho sincerity of the Spanish govern
ment in its desire to introduce reforms
in Cuba, concluding with the remark:
"I eomo to bring peace cr war. If
the former is accepted, we will then
return to the law. But if the latter U
desired, behind me corao forty battal
ions of troops."
General Weyler will rcquiro at least
00,000 more troops to conquer the east
ern provinces and hold them for
Spain. Colonel Garamendl, a member
of Weyler's general staff and private
secretary to the commander-in-chief,
will go to Madrid this week as the
bearer of confidential dispatches to
Premier Canovas and tho Spanish war
department, in which demands will be
made for 40,000 additional recruits.
El Commercio warns the government
that agents of the American sugar
trust are now in Cuba buying up all
tho best plantations, and urges Weyler
to prevent by special- decree foreign
ers from buying or holding real estate
hero in future. A syndicate of New
York men is said to have representa
tives in Plnar del Rio, -purchasing to
bacco estates with a view to controll
ing the leaf market '

and when his trainer found him again
ho had consumed so much liquor that
he had been put to bed. Muldoon had
him later on driven to the training
quarters.
Neither of them will speak of the
matter, but Muldoon appears to be
very much disgusted and put out over
it Sullivan is now contrite, but In
sists that he feels much, hotter. Not
withstanding the fact that he pulled
down his weight very llttlo and that
bis training has amounted to almost
nothing, Sullivan contends that ha
will be in good shape by next Monday
night, and will be fully able to take
ears of himself in the ring with tho
champion.
Another new phaso of the Sullivan
Fitzslmmons match which threatens
to spoil tho game entirely came np this

Deadwood, 8. D., Juno TO. Fom
masked men yesterday morning made
a despcrato attempt to rob tho Butt,
county bank at Belle Fourche. En
tering tho bank with revolvers drawn,
Ihoy ordered the customers present
and bank officials to hold up their
hands. A llttlo hesitancy on the part
of Cashier Marble drew a shot from
the gun of 0110 of the robbers, which
chipped off a largo portion of tho
cashier's right oar and enforced com
pliance with the com in and. Tho safe
and countorn wcro rcllovcd of tho
cash they contained, and the robbers,
mounting their horses, which had
been convonlontly stationed near,rodo
away.
An alarm was Immediately given,
Mid in a few minutes a well mounted
and armed posso came up with tho
fugitives and a running fight ensued
which resulted in one of tho robbers
throwing up Iris hands and surrender
ing. The others being better mounted
continued their flight, but are now
being closely pursued and hnnto Very
few chances of escaping. Tims day
was favorable for a raid on the bank,
as the weather was such that li kept
tho townspeople off tho street, and
the robbers had llttlo opposition and
had quite n start before tho' alarm
could be given.
There were fivo men In, tho party
tvho made the assault on the bank.
An unusual display of flroarmson their
part attracted tho attention of A.
Giles, a merchant, who surmised that
something was wrong and gavo an
alarm. GUos was made tho target for
a volley from the robbers' pistols, but
escaped uninjured. Pursuit was
prompt, the bandits having barely
timo to unhitch their horses and
mount beforo being surrounded. In
tho fight that followed Waltor Cay oi
Cay & Sons wns shot through the
cheok, receiving a painful wound.
Tho outlaws fired right and left while
riding out of town, but no one else
was wounded. Thomas Day, tho cap
tured robber, was overhauled half a
mllo from town, and is now in jail at
Deadwood. lie is a strangor in tin
vicinity. The rest of the gang are
now at Bay at the Three V ranch, a
few miles from Belle Fourche, where
thoy will likely be enptured or killed.
It transpires that less than 873 was
taken from the bank, tho cashier,
Arthur Marble, having b1 11 rained shut
and locked the doors of tho vault at
the entrance of the robbers. Ho was
fired on three times, only one shot
taking effect. Ho tried to return tho
fire, but his pistol failed him.

No Lon-er Use flreen Glass.
It ts known, says tho London Dally
News, that tho use of glass of a.jjrecn
tint ban for hair a century been a char
acteristic peculiarity of the plant
houses nt Kew Oardens. In 1889 the
experiment was made of substituting
white glass for green in the ea wing, ,
ef tho tropical fern house. This was
the result of the observations of the
successful cultivation by Sir TraVor
Lawrence of ferns with full exposure
to light at Burford, near Dorklpgt The ,
Improvement In the growth, of the (
plants was remarkable. In 1892 a por
tion of the west wing was also re- '
gjlazed' in the same manner and the
now temperate fern house was, whqlly
glased with whtto glass. Tho result,
wllh tho glelchenlas ana" other half
1'ardy ferns was everything that could'
'. desired. As the result it hs now
I' ;n determined to abandon the future
uso of green' glass altogether
aUtsldnarjr Work.
It Is tho duty of evory Christian to
help those Institutions, and our de
votion to God Impels us to do mis
sionary work, It being . more, e.e'dd
today th-n ever before. We' need a
clear vl- .on' of buman needs to have a
deeper prnpasslotf for the destitute
