Governor Plngree made a statement brought out by Washington dispatches which quot ed Secretary Alger as saying that Gov ernor Pingree is "for President McKin- ley first, last and all the time." The governor said: "If General Alger said that, It Is his opinion from his point of view. The question whether I am for McKinley lies with the president, not with me. If General Alger knows that President McKinley Is opposed to territorial ex pansion and is not an advocate of the murders and the destruction being visited upon the Innocent Filipinos, he has a right to say that I am for Mc Kinley. "If General Alger Is Informed that McKinley is opposed to trusts and to legislation whi4i fosters, creates and encourages them, and is in favor of legislation to restrain and suppress them, then I am closer tu the opin ion of McKinley than has generally been believed. If General Alger is as sured that President McKinley is not in touch and sympathy with the dis reputable political methods of Mark Hanna and his friends and deprecates such leadership, then I am for McKin ley. "The question of whether I favor McKinley is of no consequence in this senatorial matter, but I am for Mc Kinley In everything he does which I consider right, and against everything he does which i consider wrong."

John Jones, a son of a mechanic at Anthony, was last seen with her and many suspect him of the crime.

It Will Name Delegate to a Provisional Convention With Instruction a to llow to Vote In Electing Reprffff ntatlvr to 61t In a General Convention Other News From Havana. HAVANA, June 26. The Society of Veterans of Independence, organized by the leaders of the former military assembly, continues growing and en listing all who are willing to work unitedly. It Is composed of three classes Members of the army, civilians who acted as agents in the Cuban cities during the war and those who were de ported by the Spaniards. Headquarters will be here and in Santiago nd cen tral committees will be established in the capitals of th various provinces. A prominent Havana club was the scene of a disturbance between two very well known Cubans and several American officers all of whom had been drinking. The Cubans began cursing the American administration. Presi dent .McKinley, the United States troops and their officers. Finally, one of the Americans, throughly out of patience, struck a Cuban In the face bThe latter demanded a duel, but the (officer laughed at him. The Cuban In a perfect fury, called for a gun and said he would shoot his assailant any way. At this Juncture, a party of Americans and Cubans interfered and sent the disturbers about their business. An hour later some Cubans returned and began demanding satisfaction, but the Americans had left the club. The Cubans Involved are prominent In lo cal society, but have no political Influ ence whatever. They are chronic dis turbers of order. Brigadier General Randall has paid, up to date. In the province of Havana and Plnar del Rio and In the western half of Matanzas province, 3,260 Cu ban troops. This raises the full num ber, exclusive of the provinces of Puer to Principe and Santiago, to about 4,500. If the same ratio is maintained In the two latter provinces, as the or iginal lists stand, the figures will reach a total of 12,000. The additional pay rolls will probably add 10,000 names. 50- per cent of which are i.kely to re ceive payment. The present rolls con tain 39,000 men, not counting the sup plemental lists or the officers paid. II Is believed that not one per cent will refuse to come forward for payment. American army officers consider that the figures shown in the payments rep resent the most reliable estimate of th size of the Insurgent army which in eluded a large numb of unarmed camp followers. The Havana customs receipts from Jan. 1 to June 25 Inclusive, amounted to $1,938,015.43. COLUMBIA IS FAST. The New Cup Detender Gives Fronilsei of Holding the Trophy. NEWPORT, R. I.. June 26. The first trial trip of the new American cup de fender Columbia, which took place In Narrangansett bay, turned out to be more successful than either her build ers or her owners had reason to hope. Not only did the new boat show herself to be able In every particular, but she met the old racer Defender In a friend ly brush of a mile to windward and vanquished her with the greatest ease. The race between the flyers, which was over in five minutes, was sailed In an eight-knot breeze under the same conditions each boat carrying three lower sails with sheet well flattened. It took the Columbia about three min utes, sailing from the Defender's weath er quarter, to blanket her and In five minutes she was 100 yards ahead, go ing swiftly past the old cup defender. Under these conditions, it would seem as if the Columbia was 15 to 20 sec onds a mile faster than the Defender, and if she can make the same gain in a hard blow, anxiety as to the safety of the America's cup will be consider ably allayed. Columbia Accepted. BRISTOL, R. I., June 27.
