SHA.FTER ANSWERS WEYLER. Says Results Are More Conclusive Than Theories Spanish General Talking for Effect. San Francisco. November IT General Shatter, when asked to comment on General Weyler's criticism of the Spanish conduct of the war in Cuba, was not inclined to take Weyler's assertions seriously. He said Wey ler was evidently talking for effect, as every military man knew that the Spaniards in Cuba, without the aid of a fleet to prevent the landing of invaders in any required number, could not have held the island against the Americans.

General Shafter added: "I do not care to speak of General Weyler's record in Cuba or whether or not he has received unjust censure. "It is very well known that the force of Spain in Cuba outnumbered by several times the force landed for the reduction of Santiago, but there were but few available to operate against the American troops. "Had the 21,000 troops stationed at other points not far from Santiago promptly moved to the attack of the Fifth Army Corps the difficulties of the Americans would have been greatly increased, but I do not think they could have been driven into the sea. It is possible, however, that if these troops, had co operated with the 3,000 that did reinforce the troops of Santiago on the night of July 2. in making a vigorous attack, they might have placed the American Army on the defensive for a few days, but the ultimate capture of Santiago could only have been delayed.

General Linares telegrams to his government as to the condition' of affairs clearly indicate this. "That the fleet was necessary for the preservation of Spanish possessions in Cuba was clearly shown by the fact that immediately after its destruction and the surrender of 24.000 of the 150,000 soldiers then In Cuba, overtures for peace were commenced, the island being then absolutely at the mercy of the American Army and Navy. "Results are more conclusive than theories, and what General Weyler might or might not have done is a matter which appears to be of very little interest at this time." DANCE AT THE ST.

Henry M.

Congdon Son are the architects and the application is signed by the Rev. John D. Kennedy, rector of St. Mark's Episcopal Church. The plot on which this edifice was to be erected is 150x230.7 feet, running to Eastern parkway, and the building itself would cover a ground area of 45.8x85.6 feet.

It is understood that the cellars have already been dug. Nothing in the plans as offered appears contrary to the law, and under ordinary circumstances no obstacle would be found in the way of the project. But Commissioner Guilfoyle has refused to grant a permit for the reason that there is a legal restriction against building anything on this street at the point named but stables or greenhouses. Section 14 of Title 16 of chapter 583 of the Laws of 1888 reads In part as follows "And no building now standing, or that may be hereafter erected on any lot fronting or to front, on either Union or Degraw streets, easterly from New York ave. to said city line, shall ever be used for any purpose other than a stable, carriage house, conservatory for plants or greenhouse; but no livery or railway stable, or car house, shall, at any time, be erected or maintained upon any of the said lots." Commissioner Guilfoyle said this morning: "I have refused to grant a permit tor this building, because the law places a restriction on the class of buildings that may be erected there.

I understand that the contractors will go ahead with the work in any event. This I cannot prevent until the work has actually been begun. Then I can stop it. Then the parties will have to go to court and obtain an order for me to show cause why I should not issue a permit. These streets are north and south of Eastern Parkway and this restriction was evidently placed upon them to r.T tect the buildings that may be er Eastern Parkway, which is Use'" to a certain class of 'esiden' peculiar ce xoifED.

On a writ of habeas corpus secured by Lawyer David Quinn, Charles C. Morley was brought before Justice Maddox at a special term of the Supreme Court to day. His lawyer argued for his release on the ground that he was in jail under an illegal conviction. Morley was arrested for committing a misdemeanor and taken before the Special Sessions. A demurrer was entered by his lawyer, but It was overruled.

Then his lawyer asked for an adjournment and this was refused. Morley was then tried and convicted and was sentenced to pay a fine of $250 or spend thirty days in Jail. His lawyer contended before Justice Maddox that Morley's conviction was illegal because the judges of the Special Sessions refused to grant an adjournment which he claimed he was entitled to under section 350 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Assistant District Attorney Elder argued against the release of Morley, claiming that his conviction 'was perfectly legal. Justice Maddox reserved his decision, and Morley was sent back to the Raymond street jail.

So far the bazar has been well attended every afternoon and night and its promoters hope to realize considerable money. An excellent supper will be served this evening.

There will be a drill of boys under the direction ot Cantain Thorn and there win also hn mui. calo and some tableaux. cause a real attempt to do so would disrupt Tammany Hall and destroy it. "Tammany Is Irretrievably Committed. to Vice." "Tammany is irretrievably committed to vice and cannot back down from its bargain.

It won the city in 1898 by an open alliance with the pool room keeperss and gamblers anl others who create and maintain vice in this city and deliberately adopted the motto ot a 'wide open' town. It came to the deliberate conclusion that a majority of the people wanted the city run wide open adn it promise! to run it that way. "Tammany made the bargain with its eyear wide open and signed the bond. Many of Its; leading members are the head men in vlce they grow rich on. I need only refer to Jlia Mahoney, the pool room man, a twenty year intimate of the Mayor and John F.

Carroll, and of Mr. Croker's friends. At. Adams and Feter DeLacy. They speak eloquently for themselves.

Expects the Police to Make a Strong Bluff. "I expect to see the police make a strouz bluff at investigating and the Job will be most carefully and skillfully managed, but from the very nature of Tammany It cannot do any real reforming on a big scale, for such work would disrupt it. "The Bishop's crusade is a splendid thing and it comes at exactly the right time. Tha people will have confidence in its sincerity and it comes long enough before election allow full discussion of the issues involved. Tammany cannot discount it either as a political movement.

"But best of all is the Influence it has exerted in compelling the head of Tammany to admit the facts. This he has never dona before. The effect of this will be tremendous. But it was amusing that Mr. Croker should have gone through the forms of calling down poor old Fitzpatrick, whose district for a hard one, is after all, the best of the bad ones.

Strength to the Bishop, fo his work is splendid." POLITE TALK BY CROSS. How the Inspector Answers Questions Ahout Vice Devery Has Nothing to Say. Neither Chief Devery nor Inspector Cross would have anything to say this morning on the subject of Bishop Potter's letter to Mayor Van Wyck charging that the Rev. Dr. Paddock of the Pro Cathedral in Stanton street was insulted by Inspector Cross when he went to him to complain of the luring ot a young girl into a dive.

A reporter asked Inspector Cross this morning if he had anything to say on the Bishop's letter, and offered to 'fake whatever the Inspector said in writing and read it over to him to insure accuracy. The Inspector's reply was: "I have nothing to say to you or to any other reporter. There is the door." Chief Devery's answer to the questions as to whether he had read the. Bishnn'n Inttel" was: "I have nothing to say on or appertaining to that matter." He was then asked if the investigations and resultant complaints made by the Tammany committee of five in the search after vice would be treated in the customary man ner, and to this he also replied that he had; nothing to say "touching on or appertaining to that matter." To all other questions put to the Chief ths same reply was forthcoming. Sergeant Boyle, who was in command al the East Eighty olghth street station last night, said: "There's no vice in this precinct.

If it wasn't for the elevated "road, we'd think we were in the woods." GARDINER BLAMES DETECTIVES. The District Attorney Says the Power of the Uniformed Force Are Limited. District Attorney Gardiner said ths monw ing: "The detective bureau is largely responsible for the present condition of things. The unii formed force are Invited as to what they aaa do. They have no right to arrest a woman because they merely suspect her.

A woman has the right to speak to a man on the jrtreeH just as one man has a right to speak to an other man. Unless the officer overhears ths conversation and flnde it inculpates the worn an he has no right to act. "I have had detectives from a private! agency at work on the east side with the re suit that the places In that part of the town are now closed up. I have had 110 cases seat to me of violations of the excise law by Me Cullagh's deputies. There will be very fe of these cases Indicted because of lack of evidence." Then Mr.

Gardiner went on to tell of his zeal to prosecute all cases of vice brought to him and said he would not make a personal investlgaton himself. At the close of the session In the Centef street, Manhattan, police court to day Mag' istrate Zoller held a conference in his private room with District Attorney Gardiner and his assistants, O'Reilly and Hennessey. Afterward a large number of warrants wers issued by the magistrate, presumably upont the evidence of McCullagh deputies. They were given to officers of the court squad to serve. BISHOP POTTER SILENT.

He Says He Has Good and Weighty Reasons for Not Talking Just Now. Bishop Potter this morning deollhed to be interviewed on his proposed viae crusade on the Bast Side. He was asked it the co operation of Tammany's anti vice committee would be accepted, if offered, and also for his opin ion as to the outlook for thorough and lasting reform through the forces now set la motion. To all these questions he relumed the answer that bb yet be must decline' to discuss them, having good and weighty rea sons for his silence. Jamea B.

There is to be no favoritism and this borough must he kept as a place where decent people can live without contamination from vice." A Movement to Secure Captain Short's Transfer.

That is about the substance of what Mr. York had to say, although he talked to the men for fifteen minutes. He did not mention the names of any commanding officers when he spoke of a district where there had been gambling and immorality, and it may be that he referred to Coney Island. But the troubles there have been over for weeks and nobody now says that there are dens of vice on the seaside etrip of sand. Mr.

York declined, when spoken to on the subject, to speak of the recent, raids in the Eastern District, but it is believed that there is a movement on foot to get Captain Short out of the Williamsburg precinct. It is likely that within the next week there may be some interesting disclosures concerning gambling in sections of the borough. After Mr. local headquarters, he went to the Club and he had nothing to say ut his talk to the men. SMALL LOSS TO TAMMANY.

Frank Moss Says East Side Vice Is the Least Lucrative of Any in New York. Frank Moss, who assisted Recorder Goff in the Lexow investigation and acted as counsel for the Mazet committee, was enthusiastic over the conditions created by Bishop Potter's anti vice letter. Speaking of It to day, he said: "I congratulate Bishop Potter most sincerely, for tie has succeeded in doing more than any one else who has fought vice In this city. He has made Mr. Croker and Tammany admit his charges, even before they have been published.

This is an enviable distinction and a notable victory. "It is to be remembered, however, that an attack upon East Side vice, no matter how fierce the onslaught, only touches the edge of the main question. Vice Is rampant all over the city. It is confined to no one quarter. How about the pool rooms and the gambling and all the other manifestations of vice? Do these not deserve attention also? "There Is no section of vice that Tammany can attack with so little loss as this East Side section.

It pays least in protection and is always getting Tammany into trouble. East Side vice was the cause of the Lexow Investigation, which resulted in the election of Mr. Strong to the mayoralty. That was just seven years ago. History Repeating Itself, Declares Moss "It is only a case of history repeating itself and the cycle of seven years coming around again.

But conditions are vastly different in the city now from what they were when the Lexow investigation started, Then the number of men who dared to stand up and denounce Tammany for its criminal protection of vice was small, merely a Band ful; and those few were attacked and vilified as few men in this city have been. They bear even after this time some of the marks of that conflict, but they have never regretted their part in it. ''Then Alexander Williams was police inspector of the district and Devery was cap tain. Remember the same district now in question wae the scene ot the former demon stration. The police and Tammany callod our charges all lie.5 and defied us.

Williams declared his district was white as tjse driven snow. How does the case stand to day? The police and Tammany have abandoned their arrogance and Mr. Croker orders a crusade against vice from Tammany itself. The present movement ia almost a reproduction of that begun seven years ago. we investigated, obtained our facts, then wrote a sting Inz latter to the Mayor, reciting the facts.

The great difference between then and now was the support of the public. vvnere mere were ten men to uphold our fight in the open, now there are several hundreds anxious to help. Dr. Parkhurst, you may remember, barely escaped indictment himselt tor daring to criticise the police. Moss Says Croker Is Desperate.

"Since the Lexow investigation there has been a steady upward growth in civic spirit in New York. Sometimes it Beems slow even now, but it is infinitely better than it has been. The change Is apparent in the cordial response and widespread desire of people to assist in the reform now demanded. "In the recent campaign I spoke in all sections of Manhattan and was astonished to find the extent of the mistrust and hatred of Croker among the people. He himself realizes it and is trying to save himself by specious promises.

He is trying to maintain a reputation for truthfulness, sobriety and decency, and is finding it exceedingly difficult. In the same way he is attempting to maintain reputation for political sagacity, and that, is no less hard. He sees his grasp Inevitably loosening, with the danger of losing the city next fall. It was this fear fhut led him to mutte a desperate attempt to win for Bryan, ao he would have some patronage left, but that he lost, too. "Mr.

Croker sees ho is in a desperate con dition and accordingly hu Is taking desper ate chances. In the past he maintained his control by using a heavy hand on his own followers and permitting wiser heads to for mulate Dollcies. Lately he has chosen to direct the policy of his organization himself and has hurt it enormously. "Tammany is making a bold bluff. It cannot live up to its promises.

It is impossible for it or Mr. Croker to do more than make an abearance of throttling vice here, be 1.
