fflf CONSULS HWE RESIGNEO The Suffering They Are Com pelled to Witness is Too Much For Them, BARKER IS WELL IIIEB And the Cubans Do Not Want the President to Accept His Resignation. Washington, March 28 Major Foster R. Winn, the well known newspaper cores pondf nt, now in Cuba, writes as follows: 1 put in a day with Consul Barker. After watching the distribution of supplies to the recon centratios, Colonel Barker took Senator .Money and myself to the orphans’ <lispt nsary. This dispensary is managed by the char itable ladies of the city. Thty keep a trained nurse and cook, as well as a doc tor, and when a baby is brought the doc tor prescribes its diet as well as its med icine. While the dispensary clerk is fill ing his prescription, the cooks fills hers. The nurse takes the babies in charges end sees that those prescriptions are prop erly administered. Colonel Barker helps the ladies all he can in this work, and furnishes most of the medicines and condensed milk used at the dispensay. Barker has resigned as the United States consul and is waiting for his successor to arrive. He says that the suffering he 'has been compelled to witness during the past two years has proved too much for him. Be fore the people of the United States began to send supplies Barker helped the suffer ers at ids own expense. He is loved by all who know him here, and is the right man in the right place. He was told by Senator Money that Sen ator Proctor had wired the president not to accept his resignation. Every con gressman and senator who has visited Sagua La .Grande has wired the same thing. Later in the day I called with the con sul upon the mayor of the city. The mayor was recently appointed by the new autonomist administration. He is a native born Cuban and does not conceal the fact that his sympathies are all with the pa triots. He does no believe in autonomy nor does he believe that it will prove a success. It. was very plain from his statements that he wanted autonomy to fail. He expl lined to mt that many sep aratists had accepted office under the au tonomist administration merely as a safe guard. Spain had promised them autono my in the last war, and as soon as the •war was over they got the laugh. He said: “If Spain shall start to play any of her tricks now she will find the government of the island already in the hands of the Cubans. But,” he added, “we must in sist on disarming the volunteers and the •establishment of a Cuban malitia.” The mayor said that he appreciated the good work done for his people by our consul, and he hoped the president would refuse to accept his resignation. Barker has not found such easy sailing in the interior towns, though. There he is opposed by the military commandantes of small concentrado towns. A few days ago he 'sent his consular agent out to these places to ascertain just how many were in need in such places. At Sagiche the agent, on presenting his credentials to the commandantes, was seized and thrown in prison, where he was kept twenty-four hours incommunicado. Consul Barker reported the conduct of the commandante to General Aguirre, the military governor of the province. Gen eral Aguirre answered that he thought the clerk had fallen into the hands of a hu mane man. That had it been some officers they would have killed the clerk for meddling in their business. The general concluded his letter by saying that he thought the case was one in which neither he nor the consular clerk had a right to meddle. Barker took the clerk’s affidavit and forwarded it, with a report of the case to the state department at Washington. In the meantime it was reported to General Blanco, who at once reprimanded both General Aguirre and the commandante for not having settled the trouble there, in stead of letting it go to Washington. Gen eral Aguirre then went to the consular agent and told him to make a new affi davit. saying the other one was a mistake, but the agent thought not. in spite of Aguirre's threats refused to do as reques ted. They will begin shipping supplies into the interior towns at once. Plies, trues, rnesi Dr. Williams’ Indian Pile Ointment win cure Blind.

March 28.—A cu rious phenomtna was visible here yester day morning between 10 and 11 o'clock. A man os nimbus like a rolled up cloud about ten feet wide and apparently about ten Teet high stretched across the horizon north and south. Thousands of people crowded the street a-nd superstitious dar kies were very much excited. The cloud, which was clearly defined, gradually assumed the appearance of a sword, the blade flecked with red. Peo ple here regard it as a sure sign of war. ROBBED DR. MONK While He Was Preaching His Regular Sun day Ni^ 1 ’ ' . r' lvmin V lid L , 1 A 31 d r J a* night between 7 and 9 o'clok, while Rev. Alonzo Monk, pastor of the Centenary Methodist cuurch, was holding services, his residence, located a ■short distance from the Church, was burglarized and about five hundred dollars worth of his property stolen. The thieves rai!».i<-g?l every trunk, bureau, closet and desk in the house, and secured, among other things I). 1 . Monk’s diploma, all the gold medais he won at college, a large bundle of his strmons and private papers, Mrs. Monk's gold watch and chain, several diamonds, a lot of silverware, pictures an’ eaiua—in short nearly every little treasure and me mento Dr. and Mrs. Monk have gathered fiom time to time since their childhood. There is no clue to the thieves, but the police think it was the work of profes sionals, as a jimmy was used in prying open drawers, etc. BRITISH CRUISER Cales at Savannah, and Takes in the Town.
