GUTHRIE, O.

Told Dr. Hughes That Men Should Die on Reaching the Pinnacie of Fame. rd There can be little doubt tha» Joseph B. MeCullagh took his own life. According to the sworn statement of Dr. Charlies Hamilton Hughes, for two years the late editor’s physician, Mr. McCullagh made what appears to have been an a tempt at suicide as early as Dec. 23: “That afternoon, ” said Dr, Hughes in his statement before Coroner Wait Friday morning, “I called on Mr. McCullagh and left a four-ounce bottle containing ‘wo ounces of digitalis, or fox glove, a very poisonous medicine, which is administered for the purpose of regulating the heart, and which is recognized by the medical fratern- ity as a valuable heart tonic. During the night Mr. McCullagh drank a little more than an ounce of the drug—a that was quite sufficient to have caused death. But his stomach wias too weak nt retain it. The medicine caused Ven lent pu and vom:ting, and mest of | was Arte, from h.s system. Part of it was rbed, however, and the action of his heart was considerably weakened. “The next morning, the day before Christ- mas, I called again,” sald Dr. Hughes, “and was greatly surprised and alarmed when I discovered that so much of the drug was _ I asked hin if he had taken ft and @gaid he had.

Bertha Kleinschmidt, the shoplifter, has been “‘tucked”’ away for good. Friday morn- ing Chief of Detectives Desmond received a letter from Chief Badenoch of Chicago, in which he says that she was sent to Joliet Penitentiary from there to serve for an in- definite time for shoplifting. Under the Illinois statutes previously convicted crim- inals can be sent to prison for an indejiniie term. They may serve one year or the remainder of their lives. It rests with the Governor to pardon. Rertha Kleinschmidt was born in St. Lovis and committed her first crimes in this city. She became well known locally as a shop- lifter and general thief and served two years in the Jefferson City penitentiary for steal- ing several hundred dollars’ worth of ll a. m.; narrowly eseaped be'ng dumped into Cahokia Greek, in East St. Louis, at 11:15 o’clock Friday morning. Had the train gone over the trestle the loss of life would have been great. The train, in charge of Conductor Barney Blaney, pulled into the Relay on time and Bridge Engine No. 26, with Pilot Woodell in charge, was coupled on and the “high ball” signal, which means to pull out, was given. The train consisted of a combination bag- gage and mail car, smoker and one coach, the latter coupled 40 thé locomotive, which was ‘“‘heading in.”’ While the train was ascending the east- ern approach to the bridge there was a heavy /crash and jar as the cracking of heavy timbers. The train seemed bound- ing along on the ties, just as the engine had passed over the Cahokia Creek. Twenty-five ladies in the forward car joined in a chorus of shrieks. A score of heads popped out of the windows to dis- cern the cause of the confusion. It developed that the rear car had jumped/ the track right at /the switch tower, where there is a network of tracks, and/ trad forced the smoking car from its bearings. The engineer reversed his engine in time to save the entire train from plunging into the muddy waters of Cahokia, fifteen feet below the trestle. The train was brought to a standstill with the passenger coach standing on tthe trestle- work. The rear tricks of the smoker were off the track and the é¢ast end of the car was twisted and damaged considerably... The baggage and mail car had been thrown on its side directly across the main track. The accident happened just as Baggage- mian Smith and Postal Clerk Dement were making their toilets preparatory to deaving their posts at Union Station. They tumbled over each other when the car fell on its side, and both received slight bruises. The engine and passenger coach were cut loose from the wreck and pulled into Union Station about fifteen minutes late. The damage to the baggage and mail car and smoker will not-exceed $1,000. The accident was caused by a. broken the mail car, It required several hours to remove the wreck, but.traffic was not delayed, all other trains passing over an emergency switch, TRAIN DERAILED. Wreck on the Keokuk & Western and Several Persons Have Perhaps Been Killed. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NORWALK Io., Jan. 1—The Keokuk & Western train, going south, due here at 7:25 o'clock, has been wrecked two and one-half miles north of here.

Policemen Being Laid Off in Details for Ten Days. In accordance With an order made by the Board of Police Commissioners at a meet- ing held Thursday, the Chief, through the Captains, began Friday to lay off Ser- geants and patrolmea in details for ten days without pay. The purpose of the Board is to avoid a deficiency of $21,000 at the end _of the fiscal year, April 1. The motion adopted by the Board is as follows: Moved, That owing to the lack of a suffi- cient appropriation to carry .the present; number of men employed pntil April 1, 1897, during the months of January, February and March, 1897, each sergeant, patrolman and proba sjonary patrolman now employed be laid off on furlough for ten days without pay, and that the details of the furloughing bs left to the Chief of Police to arrange, so that the least disadvantage *o the effective- ness of the force be occasioned. When the prospective deficiency In the propriation became apparent, the comm sioners decided to dismiss sixty-five men and declare an emergency so as to be able to hire 200 special men. The Mayor, Comp- troller and other city officers objected and the board was obliged to resort to “‘lay-offs” as a last résort. The commissioners have beeh of opinion that it was illegal to give the men enforced vacations without pay, but the blue-coa‘ts are pleased, because they are saved from the danger of dismissal.

BIRMINGHAM, -Ala., Jan. 1—At ‘the un- dertakers in this city there yet remain two charred bodies taken from the wreck of last Sunday which have not been identified.

HOLLIDAY SWALLOW- ED IT AND DIED. THOUGHT TO BE A SUICIDE. The Coroner Was Not Notified as Dr. Irwin Says Death Was Due to Alcoholism. McCune J. Holliday, formerly Business Manager of the Standard Theater, died at 1 o'clock Thursday morning under peculiar circumstances. The death certificate in the case, signed by Dr. J. D. Irwin, declares $hat Holliday’s demise was caused by alcoholism. On the other hand there is no douht that the dead man took four gtains of morphine at 3 o'clock Wednesday morning, from the ef- | fects of which he never rallied. Whether he took the drug with swicidal intent or to quiet his nerves, greatly over- wrought by prolonged and excessive. drink- ing, will never be definitely known. The circumstances point to the former alterna. tive. without any notification of the death hav- ing been made to the Coroner’s office. Holliday was very well known in St. Louis. He came of @ respectable family and has long been a great trial to them on account of his reprehensible habits. For years he has been addicted to the excessive use of alogholic, liquors, with oc- casional intervals of complete sobriety. He was a good,ward worker in politics, and was |} taken up by the Butlers some years azo. Jim Butler, the eer of the Standard, put him next in trol to ‘himself at the sdéber he would probably have been there yet. His fearful sprees finally compelled Butler to discharge him. He imagined that Dick Burke, the treasurer of the theater, had been instrumental in securing his dismissal, and tried to kill him. He only succeeded in shooting A. J- Castile, the stage carpenter, in the feet. Castile died several ‘weeks later from blood poisoning as a result of the wound. Holliday escaped prosecution, but his place was gone. He went steadily down, drinking constantly. His health broke under the strain and recently he has lived on the bounty of the Butlers and his fam- ily. His physical condition was pitiable. Of late HoHiday has often threatened to kill himself. He borrowed a half dollar on Tuesday from the porter at the Standard Theater. “This is the last,”’ he said. “‘I am going to end it all with the year.’’ Later in the day he showed some of the stage hands a bottle which .he said con- tained morphine. Tuesday night Holliday went to his room. He lived at 706 Pine street with his common law wife. He w4s intoxicated as usual. says, he could not sleep. He got up and walked the floor in great nervousness. The landlord, W. W. Shannon, and his wife heard him as he paced back and forth. About 6 o’clock Wednesday morning Mrs. Holliday knocked at the Shannons’ door. She was in great distress and said she féared her husband was dying. According to ther story Holliday, not be- ing able to sleep, had taken four grains ef morphine about 2 a. m. and lapsed into unconsciousness, She then became fright- ered and gave him an emetic, but it did no good. After working over him a couple of hours she decided to get a doctor. She ran- sacked thc re‘ghbortood without being able to find one. At 8 o’clock Mr. Shannon telephoned Sam Holliday, an employe of the Wrought Iron Range Company, and a brother of McCune. He also told a policeman to call an ambulance and summoned Dr. Irwin. The brother and Dr. Irwin responded im- mediately. The ambulance appeared at ll o’clock, but was then sent back. Dr. Irwin says he worked over Holliday until 4 o’clock in the afternoon, when he appeared to be out of danger. He opened his eyes but was unable to speak. That he was not out of danger is shown by the fact shat he died. at 1 o’clock Thursday morn- ing. But alcoholism and no? morphine pois- oning was the cause, says the doctor. The body was removed to the undertaking shop of Smithers & Wagoner, where the funeral took place Friday morning. All of Holliday’s acquaintances believe that he killed himself. Mrs. Holliday does not. When Dr. Irwin was asked if he did not think it was a Coroner’s case, he said: “I do not. Holliday died from alcoholism. He rallied from the morphine he had taken. His wife told me that he had been in the habit of using the drug to induce sleep. He did take an overdose on this occasion, but it did not cause his death.” The dead man is a brother of “Bug” Hol. liday, the base ball player. DINGLEY FOR THE TREASURY.

There will be a number of candidates or United States Senator before the Re- ublican joint caucus of the Indiana Leg- 3lature. There can be little doubt, how- ver, that Charles W. Fairbanks will be hosen by the caucus and elected by the egislature as the successor of Senator ‘oorhees. Fairbanks is of the type of men who yme naturally into power in Republican jlitics as that party is at present or- unized and controlled. He is a corpora- on man. His talent is as much for the 2struction as the conservation of corpo- ute properties. He fell under the con- »mnation of Judge Gresham, when that ymorable and incorruptible jurist was 1 the Federal bench, for questionable ansactions in the receivership of the B. & W. He has lobbied at Indianapo- | against every legislative attempt to ipose an equitable assessment law upon diana railroad properties. His interest s never been in line with that of the blic, and this has been all the worse ‘the public. ‘airbanks has prosecuted his senato- 1 campaign on the line of paying the mpaign expenses of legislative can- lates pledged to his support. In this y he has attained a lead which even xombination of all the opposing candi- ‘es against him will be powerless to reome. It is Fairbanks against the d, but with Fairbanks so strongly en- ached that his defeat has become ctically impossible. idiana has never yet sent a millionaire the Senate.

The woolen suit that is to be sent free to Mr. McKinley would better be given to some poor man who has been thrown out of employment since the election. If we are to have a high tariff, the a@uty on lead cannot be too heavy. The ssouri lead interest should get the wists ear of President McKinley.

Tolstoi has recently addressed to a Dutch conscript, who had refused on conscientious grounds to do military service, a letter in which he speaks of the soldier’s trade in terms that are likely to displease the Rus- sian authorities.

WOMEN OF NOTE. The lady Mayoress of London intends to give a juvenile fancy dress ball at the Man- sion House the third week in January, and great expectations have been aroused, - Sarah Bernhardt, in enumerating her claims to fame, puts much emphasis on the assertion that five months ago she refused an offer of 1,000,000 francs for a short series of performances in Germany. Last spring Queen Natalie of Servia lost a valuable diamond ring in Paris. After much vain searching the Queen announced that if found she would give it to the Little Sisters of the Poor. It has now turned up and the sisters are going to raffle it, 20,000 tickets at a franc each. “ Mrs. Grover Cleveland, with several of her classmates, is’to make a present of a beautiful stained-glass window to Welles College, where she was formerly a student. The shape is a half circle. Mrs. Cleveland, assisted by John La Farge, the artist, has designed the window, selecting as the main feature a.large figure of a young woman, She has spent much time and thought upon the subject, as she wishes the window to be a memorial of herself, In her book of Irish beauties Mrs. Gerard quotes Gladstone’s story of the surpassing charms of a Mrs. Dillon, who kept a fur- nishing goods store in ai fashion- able . street in Dublin. One day the beautiful Duchess of Rutland, the Viceroy’s wife, drove up in a grand carriage, went into the shop, and looking hard at Mrs. Dillon, who was behind the counter, said: “Yes, you are the most beautiful woman in three kingdoms!’’ She then immediately left the shop. It was conjugal jealousy, excited by the Duke's praise of. the fair Irishwoman, that occa- sioned the visit. WITS AT PLAY. First Kid: I had a nicer time ’n you Chris- mus. Second Kid: Bet yer didn’t.

SAW HIS HEART BEAT. ted by What He Paper. William H, Quinly, a ‘armer living near Paris, Mo., says he owe bh”) life to the fact ; tion takes place next Wednesday. this morniXx, that he is a careful reader of the Post-Dis- patch. rat A year ago Quinly was seized with pneu- monia. When he had about recovered it was found that an abscess had formed on his left lung. Nine months ago a country doctor lanced Quinly’s side to relieve him. Pus exuded in large quantities constantly. The drain on hig system reduced him from a strong man weighing 165 pounds to a mere skeleton, weighing scarcely 100 pounds. The pleural cavity on the left side was filled with pus. While the ribs could be counted on the right side, the left side was swollen so that the skin was as tight as a drum head. He read a month ago in the Post-Dispatch how a man suffering from the same trouble had been relieved at the City Hospital. He came to St. Louis and entered the Bap- tist Hospital at Garrison and Franklin ave- nues, and was operated on by Dr. Briggs. A section of rib four inches long was re- moved and a space two by four inches was opened. A tube was introduced and more than a gallon of pus was drawn from the. man’s side. The heart and lungs were laid bare. A light was introduced and fhe heart beat was visible. The wound was closed after antiseptic treatment, and Quinly is gaining strength, and expetis to leave the hospital a well man in a few days. - CHANGED GOVERNORS. Gov. Black Succeeds Levi P. Morton in New York. Special to fhe Post-Dispatch. ALBANY, N. Y., Jan. 1—With simple and impressive ceremonies Hon. Frank 8. Black was to-day inaugurated as Governor of the Empire State. Save for the presence of a few companies of military, the inaugura- tion, by the particular desire of the Gover- nor-elect, was shorn of all ostentation or spectacular brilliancy. The stars and stripes, however, were in evidence about the Capitol and on the flagstaffs of the city, and several thousand people came in on the trains last night and this morning from all over the State to witness the exer- cises. The Governor-elect reached here from Troy shortly after 10 o’clock, with an escort compesed of the Sixth, Twelfth and Twenty- first Separate Companies of his native State. At the depot the Tenth battalion and:the Third Brigade of the Signal Corps were dfawn up, and the Governor-elect was reveived with a salute. Under escort of the military companies, commanded by Lieut- Col. William E, Fitch, the procession moved to the Capitol, where the Governor-elect was received in the executive chamber and wel- comed by Gov. Levi P. Morton and staff. After a brief interchange of courtesies the inaugural procession moved to the Assembly Chamber, which was already packed to suffocation. After the rendering of a patriotic air an invocation was offered by Rt.-Reyv. William Crosswell Doane, Bishop ef the diocese. Gov. Morton followed with bis retiring ad- dress, and the oath of office was then ad- ministered to the new Governor by Secre- tary of State John Palmer. On stevping forward to deliver his inaugural address, Gov. Black ré¢ceived an ovation. He spoke at some length in his usual crisp, terse style. On returning to -the executive cham- ber the new military staff of the Governor was comm('ssioned and sworn in by Secre- tary Palmer. There was a public reception in the executive chamber from 1 to 2 o'clock, and from 3 till 5 the Governor aad Mrs, Black will hold the usual New Year's re- ception at the executive mansion. OREGON SHORT LINE. It Will Be Purchased Jan. 9 by the Re-. organization Committee. OMAHA, - Neb., Jan. 1—A _ purchasing committee, representing the reorganization committee of the Oregon Short Lire and the Utah Northern, will buy the property in when it is offered for sale by Masicr in Chancery Cornish in Salt Lake, Jan. 9. At Union Pacific headquarters the officials understand that the property will simply be transferred from their hands to the reor- ganization committee and as a result there is much joy manifested at headquarters, for it is generally believed that the transfer will make but Hittle difference with the Union Pacific as a system. The transfer of the Short L'ne will take about 100 clerks out of the auditing depari- ments and six or seven out of the office of the Superintendent of Car Service in head- quarters, but will make but slight changes in the othér departments. The purchase by the reorganization committee of the Short Line will probably mean that the present force of officials on the Short Line will be retained and that for the other offices sev- eral well known ‘heads of departments in Union Pacific headquarters are likely to be appointed. There will be nothing known of what will be necessary until after the sale. Judge Cornish left iast night for St. Paul and he will return to Omaha next week, and with the officials here go out to Salt Lake to make the sale, being joined here by the purchasing committee. FOURTH STREET ENTRANCE. To Be an Issue in the Merchants’ Ex- change Election. The vital issue of the election of officers of the Merchants’ Exchange for the ensu- ing year will doubtless be the opening of a passage from Fourth street to the Mer- chants’ Exchange. The Merchants’ Exchange owns property fronting on.Third street, Chestnut and Pine streets. — It has rights and easements that give it an entrance: from Fourth street, but this entrance has been closed. At one time ’there was an entrance from Pine street to the grade floor, but this was closed by the R. G. Dun Mercantile Co., who rent the Pine street front. The building is now placed in the position of oc- cupying’ a half block fronting on Third street, with rights and easements of a Fourth street entrance, and has only two street entrances. At a caycus for the nomination of offi- cers the question as to how the candidates stood upon this matter was ruled out of order. An opposition ticket will be nomi- nated in» support of the issue.

Detectives Get a Man to Bet So They Can Arrest Tom Walsh’s Clerks. + The war on the pool sellers still keeps up and every \time the Police Department sees a chance an arrest is made. A few more raids and the gamblers will quit in disgust, because their business does not flourish uncer adversity and police super- vision. To gamble successfully the pool sellers must have a certain amount of free- dom. Two men were arrested late Thursday afternoon in Tom Walsh’s pool-room on Eighth street. They were making a hand book on New Orleans and were accepting money won on the result of races in that city. Messotives Guion and Hatton ran in what is known as a “ringer.’’ They found a man who was unknown to the pool sellers and got him to place a bet while they stood by and watched. They saw him hand the money to the bookmakers and saw them register the bet. They then arrest- ed two employes of the pool room. It was not really their own money they were handling, as they were simply hired as clerks might be for legitimate business. They were quietly worked out on the street and a patrol wagon took them to the. Four Courts, where they were released on bond. Books recording bets made were found in their possession and were held by the police as evidence. Chief Harrigan has instructed his men to continue to watch the rooms for every at- tempt at gambling in the same manner, and to make arrests whenever they think they can make a case. The pool-sellers are getting tired of the way the lice have been pursuing them, and are almost ready to quit business until a decision is given on their cases. Hand-books are still being made, however, and betting in that way will be done in spite of all the police can do. It will not be done publicly, however, and very few peo- ple are likely to know anything about it, so that it can hardly be seriously objected to by anyone. Chief Harrigan said Friday morning that he would continue to do as he has been doing and pounce down on gambling wherever he could find it, The Marshall opinion was the basis of his action, and, being no lawyer himself, he simply took Mr. Marshall’s opin- ion without question. It was not his duty to construe complicated legal enactments. Mr. Marshall did that and he acted accord- ingly. The arguments on the motion to quash the information under which war- rants were issued for Walsh and others is set for hearing in the Court of Criminal Correction Saturday. Attorney Rowe says he has his arguments and briefs all ready for submission to the court and feels confident that he will knock Mr. Marshall out. He js very certain of this and says he canfSot the situation in any other light. LUMBER CAMP TRAGEDY. Details of the Death of T. E. Long at Thornton, Ark. The Big Four Lumber Co. of this city has received additional facts concerning the killing of FT. E. Long at Thornton, Ark., whose death was reported to Chief Har- rigan without detail. During the holiday celebrations of the lumbermen, there was considerable drink- ing and fighting. Long, who was employed as a shipping clerk by W. R. Pearson, drank too much whisky and began to carve Frank Gray, whom he did not know and had not spoken to. Gray drew a revolver and shot Long in the head, killing him in- stantly. Long had ben in the employ of Mr. Pearson for six weeks, and seemed to be a quiet young man. FUSION CAUCUS. Nebraska Democrats Are Rather Shy of the Populists.

A Young Man With a Sore Face at the City Hospital. Robert Riley, aged 19 years, living with his mother at 3204 Ches‘mut street, is a pris- oner at the City Hospital. His face is beaten out of all semblance to humanity. Riley professes to have little knowledge as to how he received his injuries. He says he was out with four friends and was taking in. “he town, but they were not drinking. They were passing a disreputable house at Twenty-second and Market streets and one of the party tapped on the window. Riley said he and Ed Barry had been left by the others in the party and were standing in front of »ne house when five men emerged. They surrounded Riley and Barry. Then with brass knuckles one of them struck Riley in the face. His nose was fractured and his face beaten to a pulp. Riley says he was rendered unconscious and knew nothing more until he awoke at the City Hospital. Riley refuses to tell who his companions were. L j ONE MAN INJURED.

Speedy gave a special ex‘hibition of diving at Havlin’s Theater after Thursday’s performance. The dives were from a height of forty feet into a tank six feet long and two feet wide, The water was only eighteen inches deep. Speedy’s first feat was a jump into the tank and out of it again in exactly three seconds. He made several other difficult leaps, finally diving into” the tank blind- folded. It was ‘his intention to give an exhibition of acrobatic diving, but the spring board from which he jumped split and he was obliged to abandon that part of the pro- gramme. MRS. CAIRNS’ DIVORCE. & She Filed Her Bill, Alleging Desertion as the Sole Cause. As forecast in Tuesday’s Post-Dispatch, Mrs. Anna Sneed Cairns filed a peiition for a divorce from her husband, John G. Ca'rns, Thursday afternoon. The only ground alleged is desertion. The petition sets forth that the parties were married in St. Louis County, April 7, 1884, and that on June 7, 1891, Mr. Cairns left the plaintiff without cause, remained away from her until October, 1881. The petition states that in December, 1891, Mr. Cairns again left his wife, remaining away from her ever since. She asks for an absolute divorce. JUDGE EDMUNDS’ CONTEST. There Will Be a Conference Between the Principals Monday. The recount in the contested election case of Edmunds vs. Talty has covered the six wards in,:which there was a short electoral] column on the ballot. Nothing more will be done until Monday at 1 p. m., when there will be a conference between the con- testor and contestee, their attorneys and the Election Commissioners. It will then be decided whether to proceed with the re- count. Unless substantial gains for Ed- munds have been shown by the count of the rejected ballots in the six wards, the contest will probably be dropped. ~ {In Olden Times People overlocked the importance of per- manently beneficial effects and were satis. fied with lent action; but now that it is generally known that Syrup of Figs will permanently'.overcome habitual constipa- tion, well-thformed people will not buy oth- er laxatives, which act for a time, but fin- ally injure the system.

When Peter Kerth, the recently-elected Sheriff of St. Louis County, attempted to assume his duties Friday morning, he found himself barred from the room set apart for the Sheriff. He will appeal to the County Court Saturday for possession. At midnight the administration of Sheriff Charles C.

No political calculation on the Democratic side can be relied upon which does not in- clude Mr. Brice as a prominent factor, Your correspondent has authentic informa- tion that the Senator, who will soon be an ex-Senator, does not intend to withdraw from politics, but will be active in the next State campaign, with the purpose of becom- ing a capmicete for the Senatorship. He - in The influence of women upon the civilization of the world, could never be measured. Because of her, thrones have been established and destroyed. The flash of her eye, the touch of her hand, and we have the marvellous power of women, glorious in the possession of perfect physical health. Lydia E.

I had been greatly troubled with sick headache, but since I secured Ripans Tabules, whenever I begim to feel symptoms of sick headache or sour stomach I take one or two Tabules and escape all the terrors of a splitting headache.

MADRID, Jan. 1.—The Imparcial prints a violent article on the milfary government m of Cuba, and urges that Capt. Gen. Weyler | be replaced by Gen. Ascaraga, the present Spanish Minister of War. The Heraldo published an article similar to that of the Imparcial, and they caused a great sensation. Both issues were seized by the police. The Dia, referring to the attacks of the Heraldo and Imparcial on Capt.-Gen. Wey-| } ler, says it is possible that they may result in a Cabinet crisis, and that many people bélieve there will be a change of policy. A meeting of Spanish Generals was held last evening to consider these newspaper articles, the full text of which was not al- lowed to be telegraphed abroad, for fear of causing dismay among’ the troops in Cuba and encouraging the friends of the Cubans in the United States. : It is asserted that the decision has been reached to relieve Capt.-Gen. Weyler of his function, but that thé Premier, Senor Del Castillo, has suspended the order. All the ministers met att the Premier’s residence last evening in order to discuss the matter. A feeling of general public indignation | Rio, has died of his wounds. prevails.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Jan. 1-—Thé steamer Commodore cleared at the Custom- house late Thursday afternoon with a car- go of arms and ammunition consigned to Salvador Cisnores, President of the Cuban Repwhblic, at Cienfueg¢s, A crew of 27 men was carried, despite the fact that the Commodore is of only 99 tons register. Most of these were Cubans. Among the number was Stephen Crane, author “The Red Badge of Courage,” who may now witness a battle for the first time. He sigried as a seaman at $20 a month. Clearance papers were issued, notwith- standing that a formal protest was made by Senor Solis, Spanish Consul for Florida, which was made in writing to the Collector. The grounds were that the rules and a ter lations of ports of entry in Cuba prohibit importation of munitions of war, except upon written permission of the Governor- Ger.eral of the island, and also upon the ground that it is the belief of the Coneul that the arms are tio be used by the insur- gents against the kingdom of Spain, and also the port to which they are consigned. The Spanish Consul also refused to vise the clearing papers, which is a necessary requisite in going to a foreign port, for the reason that the regulations do not per- mit the importation of arms upon the island without a permit, and this Capt. Murphy did not have. The Consul issued a certifi- cate, however, stating his refusal and the reason thereof. sa: It is not believed that the Commodore will make an attempt to land its cargo at Cienfuegos, but will make a landing at some convenient place along the OQuban coast. 7 —————— Se ae —_——— + WASHINGTON AV., 1405—Neatly furnished rooms, second floor front; light housekeeping rooms and hall-room.
