Madrid I'ap^r—Revolutionists and Arms From Costa Ilica Landed in Cuba. I TAMPA, Fla., April 12.—The plant steamship Mascotre, which arrived last- night brought many passengers from whom it is learned that the •jnsfomary holy week Catholic profession in Havana, which would have been held today, was forbidden by the government. An American engineer who went to Matanzas was ordered away within three hours, being told he was not wanted. A ship chandler and provision merchant, Frank

Caberello, was treated likewise, as the government claimed lie had supplied the insurgents

The Cuban raxes are to be increased £5,0(K),000 to provide for war expenses. At La Mocha, a village near Aguafcate, (50 miles from Havana, Vicente Garcia, with 200 men, ambushed General Pratt's force, who three times rallied, but were finally routed with heavy Losses.

Jiguani, a place of 10,000 inhabitants, was captured by the Cubans, under Rabi, about -March 25. On April 3 the Spaniards attempted to regain possession, but were repulsed, after a spirited encounter. Th.-y were under Sautocildes, and left 45 dead for the Cubans to bury.

Charles M. Aguirre also arrived. He follows his brother to Washington to intercede for his "ancle.

A base ball team going to play in Havana was mistaken for a band of insurgents, and were arrested. Much indignation is expressed over the suppression of the Masonic meetings in Cuba.

Should the formation of a republic be attempted the constitution adopted April 10, 1809, will be used.

Guillermou's forces will be under the command of Maceo.

Revolutionists Landed.

NEW YORK, April 12.—A special to The World from Kingston, Jamaica, says four expeditious of revolutionists, starting from Port Limoii, Costa Rica, have been .successfully landed in Cuba. General Maceo and three companies were with one party. Twenty-four thousand rifles were delivered to insurgents on the island by the vessels of those four expeditions. The vessels have returned to Port Limon, which has become an important center of Cuban revolutionists.

American i'ress Attacked.

MADRID, April 12.—The Epoca makes a violent attack on the American press, which it says admires only the "almighty dollar." Spaniards, it says, can not expect better treatment than the leading American politicians, who suffer uuheaded insults so gross that they would cause duels and law suits in other countries. The paper advises Spaniards to despise a press that sympathizes with liliiuisterers, doubtless from interested motives.

Detective Sergeant Edward Armstrong rescued Ctesar Pinto. He then returned and succeeded in effecting the rescue of Pinto's wife aud two children. Pinto was badly burned, while his wife and children were only slightly scorched. Pinto was removed to Manhattan hospital. It is not thought his injuries will prove fatal.

William Goebel, one of the most prominent Democratic politicians and attorneys in Kentucky, at 1:30 p. m. Thursday shot and killed John L. Sandford, cashier and active manager of the Farmers and Traders' National bank of Covington, Ky.

Tliis lie said, would be unjust to the Hooking Valley, ami declares as a reI suit there would bo nothing in sight for the miners but strikes aud their attendI ant evils in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Iudianu and Illinois the coming summer.

Got the liest of the Gang.

_GUTRR1K, O. T., April 12.—Deputy United Slates Marshal Banks, who killed Tulsa Jack, and Deputies Eckhoi! and Prater have returned from the Cheyenne country whither they had chased the Dover train robbers. The officers got the best of the gang, having killed Tulsa Jack, wounded Bill Doolan and caused the remainder of the gang

to flee to the Glass mountains. A posse is still in pursuit of the robbers, who have set lire to the prairie in order to retard their pursuers.

Iron liar Maiiufacl urcrs Organize. CLEVELAND, April 12.—The bar iron manufacturers held another meeting in Cleveland last night. After deciding to form an association for mutual protection in this city two weeks ago, they went to Youngstown, and thence a few of the leaders in the movement proceeded to Chicago. The results of these conferences was canvassed at the meeting last night. Those who were present decline to say anything further than that they are considering the details of organization.

Villainous Tramps.

ASHLAND, O., April 12.—While Elmer I Ditch and wife were attending a funeral Wednesday, tramps entered their house and ransacking it from top to bottom, secured $300. Ditch lives near the railroad and many tramps were about. The money was in the bottom of a chest, and had been saved to pay off a mortgage. William Brown's and Dr. Cressinger's houses were also entered.

Suspicious Character Arrested. CLEVELAND, April 12.—-The police here arrested yesterday a uian who is believed to have been a mt lnber of the gang which tortured and robbed Mr. and Mrs. Merritt H. Childs, an aged couple, living near Bradford, Pa., on the night of March 20. The man is believed to be Burt Blanchard, and he answers the description sent out by the iheriff of McKean county.

Prize Fight Off.

S S

N E W YORK, April 12.—A private cablegram received here announces that the light between Frank Craig, "the Harlem Coffee Cooler," and Ted Pritchard, which was to take place in London Saturday night, has been declared off. Pritchard was taken with a severe chill i»i Tuesday and is confined to his bed With pneumonia.

One of the real causes of their deadly I hatred was the passage of a bill by Senator Goebel cutting down the tolls on country roads.

Sandford is connected with the Lexinsrtoii Pike company, aud the bill affected his company considerably, and the revenue was actually cut in two.

The banker considered this a personal insult. The awful affair took place within the shadow of the First National bank, where Senator Goebel was going to cash a check. He was accompanied by Attorney General Hendricks of Kentucky. They walked up the steps of the bank, !f and as they reached the door, Sandford i| appeared and addressed an inaudible remark to Goebel.

Goebel replied: "I did." Immediately Sandford pulled his gun 11 .and shot, at Goebel, just as the latter turned his idy to one side. Before anyone could interfere Goebel had pulled his revolver and tired, and in a twinkling Sandford lay in the doorway of the bank, blood oozing from an ugly wound over his left eye. In a moment there was the wildest confusion.

The bank was crowded with depositors at the time, and there was a wild rush at the report of the revolvers.

In the midst of the confusion Senator Goebel coolly turned and walked down Madison avenue to the stationliouse and gave himself up.

TRIAL REFUSED.

A Wife llurderer Sentenced to NmetyXine Years in the Penitentiary. GREENER, Ky., April 1.2.—William Jackson was yesterday sentenced to 99 years in the penitentiary, charged with poisoning his wife. He received the same sentence at his last trial. Another new trial was asked for but refused and he will be taken to the penitentiary at once.

The crime of which the jury decided Jackson was guilty was the most outrageous one known in the history of Greenup county. His wife was in a weak condition, suffering with severe headaches, and he procured a bottle of strychnine and administered a dose large enough to kill 10 men. It is claimed that he wanted to get rid of her so as to be at liberty to marry another woman.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., April 12.—Henry Wimborly. convicted at the last term of the criminal court for highway robbery and sentenced to nine years' imprisonment, has been pardoned by Governor Oates. When Lee Harris aud his gang of murderers and robbers were arrested last week, their confessions developed the fact that Abe Mitchell, one of them, was Wimberly's double in every detail, even to being one-eved, and that it was Mitchell who had committed the highway robbery and Wimberly was entirely innocent, but had been mistaken for Mitchell.

READY TO GO TO WAR AT ONCE.

Her Sudden Change Has Caused Great Surprise in Diplomatic Circles in Washington—Germany Also Ready to Enter a

Protest Against the Demands of Japan. American Ladies Assaulted.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 12.—The Nova Vremya says that if Great Britain has approved the territorial demands of Japan in regard to Manchuria and Corea. Russia will consider herself relieved of the obligations of common action, and will oppose Japan on land and on sea.

SURPRISED

It Was

AT WASHINGTON.

Japau

Thought That Russia and Understood Each Other.

WASHINGTON, April 12.—The unmistakable threat against Japau held out by Russia in the short notice in its semiofficial organ, The Nova Vremya, has caused much surprise in diplomatic circles here. It was supposed that Russia had a good understanding with Japan as to the terms of peace to be held out to China, that there was an entire agreement upon the propositions toucliing Corean independence,the acquisition by Japau of Formosa and Port Arthur and the exaction of an indemnity. I As to Great Britain, which now appears to be reproached with failing to maintain a stiff front against Japanese tion was the cause demands where they involved the acces- months coiiTtnement. sion of territory, it has all along been I understood that she was tho oue power that was disposed to resist aggressions, and was only prevented from actual interference through inability to secure the co-operation of Russia in such a movement. j:¥

The Russo-Japanese agreement was jjf understood to include the concession to Russia of a right of way through Corea for the Siberian railway to afford a winter terminus, and it is suggested that the change in her attitude may be accounted for by the possible failure of this part of the program by the Japanese undertaking to guarantee the absolute independence of Corea, thus preventing the acquisition of the needful territory for the right of way and the terminal facility.

Germany Willing to I'rotest. '-:1! LONDON, April 12.—The Berlin correspondent- of The Standard telegraphs: "I learn that the government, regards Japan's demands as highly detrimental to the commercial interests of Europe in China. Germany is willing to co-oper-ate with the other powers in protesting against the.in. but she will not take the initiative

AMERICAN LADIES ASSAULTED.

Dastardly Outrage Perpetrated by Chinese Soldiers in Pekin. VANCOUVER, B. C., April 12.—The I following mail advices have been roeeived by the steamer Empress of 1 Japan, which has arrived at Vaucouver: I All is confusion in the city of Pekin and threatens to culminate in a panic. I Scores of cowardly oilicers, fearing the appearance of the Japanese army, are I asking for leave to visit sick and aged parents. The government has refused them all.

Two American ladies were walking on Legation street in Pekin, when they were assaulted by the soldiers, while I the native guard posted on the street for I jiolice protection looked on and grinned. The ladies' garments were badly torn, but they managed to free themselves, and ran into the house of the Kussian legation close by. Tho soldiers win assaulted the ladies were afterward almost I beaten to death by the angry husbauds I of the women. The Pekin authorities have allowed the two ladies assaulted to have a guard of Russian soldiers to guard them in their walk.

Particulars of an attack by pirates on the camp of two young Frenchmen near Thainguyan are given. Messrs. Hearle and Sabot, were engaged in superintend-

ing the construction of an English lino I between Chomoi and Thainguyan. Hearle was lying on his hack aud Sabot was in a rickasha. There were 80 in tlie party. Suddenly the pirates made their appearance and surrounding the party demanded their surrender. Sabot refused and he and the guards lired.

The fire was returned. Hearle was killed by a shot in the neck a I nearly all the laborers fell fatally wounded. Sabot was caught alive and carried off.

The Buddhist, priests have been discharged from Formosa by order of the Emperor of Japan, owing to the number of spies beii*,' caug'ht posing as members of that fraternity. Other provinces are to follow Formosa's lead. The Buddhist church threatens to inflict punishment in retaliation similar to ex-communication.

Chinese Officials Not Posted. LONDON, April 12.—The Times has a dispatch from Pekin stating that the officials in the Chinese capital are largely ignorant of the situation in respect to Japan. Discussion of war questions is limited. The foreign office, especially the grand council, has few consultations with the ministers of the foreign, powers. These consultations are now fewer than when Li Hung Chang was ia Pekin. The Manchuria people strongly resent the idea of ceding Manchuria to Japau. The former war faction is still strong, and there is danger of creating dissatisfaction among the people. This faction would not yield to Japan, but fears that resistance is impossible.

HOMUtll iua uortMI.

LONDON, April 12.—A dispatch to The Daily News from Vienna says that Francis Kossuth, son of the late Louis Kossuth, the Hungarian patriot, has been elected to the Hungarian reichstag lor Tarpoleza, defeating Herr Voeroes, under secrotary of state.

There is one thing woman must not forget, and that is that her success will depend upon her ability to do. She cannot bid fortune oomoherwny just because she is a woman.—Cincinnati Commercial.

GUILTY OF PURJURY.

Bow Two Schemers Attempted to l)rat Railroad Company. CLEVELAND, April 12.—In the United States court yesterday John Lantze pleaded guilty to the charge of perjury in connection with a suit brought by him against the Pennsylvania Railroad company for damages received in the terrible wreck at Shreve, (.)., on Sept. 21, 1892. Lantze, who is badly crippled and an invalid, claimed to have received permanent injuries aud sued the railroad company for $30,000. His condition was such that the Pennsylvania company offered him !?.5,000 to settle, but this was refused.

Finally the road in some way received information which led to the belief that Lantze was a swindler aud detectives were put oil his case. It was then discovered that Lantze had not been on the wrecked train at all and had received his injuries mouths before and that his real name was Lantzebaugh. A man by the name of John Lantze had been on the wrecked train but received no injury and had no ground for action. The latter, as was shown, had fixed up the scheme with Lantze, who was already crippled, to impersonate him and

suing for damages. ,,

IN THE STEERAGE.

An Eventful Voyage Across tho Atlantic In a Great Ocean Liner. [Special Correspondence.]

LIVERPOOL -v —Crossing the Atlantic in the QC :H OR winter as a steerago passenger is no joke. I did it and am hero in London recovering. Mind you, I don't say that wo stcerageites were treated badly. On tho contrary, wo were treated very well, but no treatment, however soothing, can counteract the effect produced upon one by the rolling and tossing in frightful, heavy storms and the breathing of foid air which must necessarily collect in tho steerage because of tho impossibility of opening up hatch ways and portholes during bad weather. I got aboard in the latter part of February and found, much to my surprise, that I was to haven great many roommates, so to speak. Thero were nearly 200 of us. Among us were a let of English sailors, the crews of

three sailing ships, who had just been paid off in New York. To theso hardy fellows the talcing of a steerage passage was a luxury—a sort of Pullman ?ea journey, with a Delnmnican attachment. It v.as a sight to see them devouring the soft tack and fresh meat. I used to watch and wonder, for I was hardly able to touch anything bccause of tho closeness of tho air. I had man}- talks with them. They seemed to take to me, and they spun for I my benefit unswallowablo yarns about all I tho lands, or, to bo more correct, about all the waters of the world. They had tho most intimate acquaintance with long distances of any class of travelers I have ever met. From tho easy way in which they spoke of being now in London or Livcrpool, now in Calcutta, or now in New

York or San Francisco, a listener unacquaintcd with the names of these places would imagine that it was possible to dine in ono of them and sup in tho other on tho samo day.

One of them especially was a most interesting character. His name was Mylos Hand, and he hailed from Liverpool. He I had followed the sea for 20 years and knew of hardly anything savo ports, the ways of sails, winds and waters, grogshops and how to sing and dance. He was tho ideal

English sailor, tho typo that Marryat immortalized. In person ho was lithe and wiry of framo, good looking of face and had blue, well opened eyes. Tho eyes of sailors are always well opened. The looking out and tho continual watching causes this.

When wo were four days out, I got up a concort and put Mylcs'name first on tho programme Tho writing of this programme was a great bother to me because of tho rolling of tho ship. When it was finished, Mylos got some mustard in lien of mucilage from the steward and plastered it up. Then ho stood oft and looked at his own name admiringly. I had put him down for a baritone solo.

Toward tho end of tho voyage, when tho men were somewhat over their sickness and beginning to bo able to get about, I questioned several nf them as to tho reason

for their leaving America. Tho answer that almost all of them gavo me was food for a great deal of reflection. It was this: That America was no lit placo for a workingman to live in that its vaunted and much talked of freedom was a lie that when laboring men were struggling for tho right to live they were shot and crushed down by tho military with more mercilcssness and for less provocation than they would bo under tho most despotic and ruthless government in Europe. This was tho substance of what they said. I am sorry if any of tho readers of this letter will tako offonso at what I havo just written. If they do, I can only say that boforo I loft New York tho editor asked me to find out why tho stecrago passengers wero leaving tho country, and I am meroly tho reporter of a fact. Of course it is only just to say that two or thrco of tho Irishmen wero only going over on a visit for a month or so to Ireland. When I talkod to them, they told

that they

liked America, but that it wasn't anything near so good a placo to livo in as it was somo years back.

Tho first day wo wero out u*stccrago passenger committed suicide by jumping overboard. He was an Irishman born in Tyrone, and his namo was Patterson. Ho was booked right through from Chicago No. to London, and from what I could gather had bclongod at ono tlmo to tho queen's life guards. Ho was an intolligont, fine looking man. Not a minute beforo he committed tho act I was talking to him on dock. Wo walked together from aft toward tho hatchway of tho steerage. Arriving thero, I climbed down tho stairs, while ho turned to walk over to tho rail on tho port sido. I had hardly got to the bottom of tho stairs when I heard tho cry on deck, "Man overboard!" Up I rushed again, and I saw a fur cap and groatcoat lying near tho rail. At onco I know it was tho man I had been talking to. By tho tlmo things wero ready to lowor a boat we wore ten miles at least from the place where the man had jumped overboard also thero was a great danger of the boat itself swamping. As a last resort we steamed slowly back with a man aloft on tho lookout, and then we went back to our course.

From tho standpoint of a student of human nature tho trip was full of profit, but I was glad when we camo in sight of tho coast of Ireland. Tho steerage may be all right In the summer time, but in tho winter it is a hard experience. I'd sooner go beforo tho mast, whore a man can get a square chance at the good, strong air. Of the two hardships this ono Is the lessor—that is, if a man bo used to ocean traveling. BART KENNEDY.
