PROMISED A PARDON

Cuban Insurgents Asked to Surrender.

GEN. CAMPOS' PROCLAMATION.

Tlioso WIio Will Lay Down Their Arms and Surrender Will Ue Given Tlieir Liberty—Leaders 'ot Included in the J_. J'rdclaination—The Latest lnforiiiatioii

Troin the Seat of War. HAVANA, April 19.—Captain. General Martinez de Campos has issued from Santiago de Cuba a procliuuation offering pardon to all insurgents with the exreption with the leaders who will lay down tlieir arms and surrender. He has made, preparations immediately to pursue tho members of the bands who refuse to come in under the proclamation and the warfare against them will be waged vigorously.

It is stated here that some of the insurgent bands have taken to torturing helpless residents of the country districts who have incurred their displeasure. At Blanquisal, near Manzanillo, a grocer named Miguel Laureda was surprised at night by Maceo'sband. He was cruelly tortured and horribly mutilated, alter which he was tied to a tree, where he was left for the buzzards to eat.

Manuel Igless, a grocer of Bueycito, Manuel Reitor and an old man named Yicau, win» fought against the rebels in the last revolution, have been murdered by roving insurgents. The town of hJma (Dorian, province of Santiago de Cuba, was attacked by insurgents who wtve repelled and pursued by a body of troops. The rebels found refuge in tho mountains. The troops discovered the place where their camp had been located and found a dead rebel in it. A number of weapons were captured.

Jividenee confirming the deatli of the rebel chief, Manoi'rit, was found. Three of the government forces wero wounded in consequence of not carrying out the orders that had been given tlieni.

The captin general has sent a colonel to Spain. Senor Pupuy de Loin, the newly appointed Spanish minister to the United States, arrived here at (J o'clock yesterday evening. It is expected that he will proceed for New York on Saturday, after making an investigation in the Allianca affair.

Private advices from, the province of Santiago de Cuba .show that the forces of tlie insurgents do not amount to nearly those claimed by the rebels. .Among the leaders of the various bauds •are Emiiio (.-rival, a white man, who commands 200 men Alfonso (Joulet, mulatto, .jt)0 Bernardo Camaclio, white, 100 Yicioriano Garzeu, white, 400

Luis Bonne, mulatto, 200 Edurado Doniinguez, white, 200 Victoria no Hierrezuelo, mulatto, U00 (^uiutiu Bandera, negro. 1,000, and Perico Periz, white, 1,000, a total of iJ.'.iOO men. Of this iiamber 1,000 are said to be armed with riiles, while the others use shotguns and Machetes weapons. The rebels do not possess a single piece of artillery.

Considerable excitement has been caused by the fact that tho rebels are again resorting to the incendiary tactics that caused such enormous losses to the planters during tho last insurrection. Tho central plantation, Doz Asmigos (Two Friends), the property of Sonor Ivicalas Castano, situate,a on t-lso coast near Mau/.aiiillo, has been bur lie! I by tho rebois. Two million .irrobas of sugar cane were destroyed. The advices do not show whether tho machinery of the plantation was destroyed. Tiies central aerories coniaiu vi vv expensive machinery, crushers, vacuum pans, centrifugals, etc., and should the rebels burn manv oi them, tne loss would be enormous.

It is stated on goon authority that the troops commanded by Colonel bantocilde have cooped up a bauu oi insurgents in the mountains, in the province of Santiago de Cuba, and that their capture is only a question of a short time. The rebois are making a siouldefense, and a very hoc lire is being exchanged.

A DIFFERENT STORY.

Tills JJi-oui^lit by ii i'assesij^ur oil the Last Mearner to Kenoii lampa, i-'ioi icia. TAMI'A, Fia., April 1!).—Tlie plant steamer Olivette arrived from Havana last night. The passengers bring news of the revolution as follows: The Cubans endeavored to capture Guanatanamo early Tuesday morning, the Kith inst. The Cuban force was 750 men, while the Spaniards numbered 4,500. The Cubans presented a body of about 200 men and the balance advanced in ambush on either side of a delile. The Spanish troops threw themselves into the delile on the Cubans in view, killing 14. The ambushed forces poured a continuous volley into the Spaniards completely demoralizing them and compelling the formation of a hollow square. After along stand with heavy losses, the Spaniards made a cautious retreat from tho delile. The engagement lasted eight hours. The Cubans becoming acquainted with the Spanish numbers, withdrew.

Six thousand soldiers are now in Guanatanamo and 4,000 more have been asked for to protect the city against the insurgents, who the passengers say will make another attempt to capture the town.

The Cubans are now subject to a decree, the text of which is: "Should any Cuban or Spaniard propose peace, ho will be immediately executed."

The Cubans are said to have entire control of the province of Santiago, excepting the largest cities. The Spanish troops are concentrating in Puerto Principe.

Wednesday morning for the first time it was officially announced in Havana that Marti and Gomez iiad landed in Cuba.

General Carrilli, who distinguished himself in the last revolution, has been brought from lienmedios, whero lie was arrested some time ago, to Havana and put in Morro castle. He is said to bean American citizen.

A battalion of troops left Havana at 3 o'clock Monday morning on an urgent call from an interior plantation owned by Mr. Iiigney of Connecticut, 08 miles from Havana. There were two severe skirmishes fought last night. He raised the American flag and sent word to the forces of Spain that he would hold them responsible for the damage done to hi.-' property. Both sides then agreed tc le.spect the property. A Boston firm,

putting in machinery on the same plantation, made the same complaint, but tlieir property was not damaged.

Consul Williams expects to leave Havana Saturday. He wiil go direct to New York.

Tlie passenger, giving part of the information, has applied for a franchise to operate a big system of trolley cars in Havana. liion t:.\tc-ndiiuj.

MADRID, April 19.— Dispatches from Havana state that, the rebellion is extending despite the bad armaments of the insurgents. Joso Marti, General Maximo Gomez and other rebel leaders landed near Banu oa on Sunday. The Spanish troops have defeated a rebel band under Chief Perez. If the rebellion continues to grow Captain General do Campos will demand further reinforcements.

Chnsetl a. Ilrilisli s.teaiiiship. New Yo :k, April iS.'.—A special tc The World from Kingston, .Jamaica, says: A Spanish warship chased the littlo British -icamship Etheired into Pert Antony yesterday, creating great excitement Captain Hopkins, master of the fruiter, ierases to talk about the incident.

DURANT CHEERFUL.

Duran5 was very cheerful yesterday and greeted everyone with whom he came in contact with a smile and pleasant words. The probable change in conduct of the accused man is caused by tho belief that the police have exhausted every mine of information against him. The searching of the church is finished and no further evideiice has been brought to light.

Police Suigeon Soniers visited liiiu yesterday to study his action, in anticipation of a plea of insanity when the case is brought to trial. Dr. Somers says that Duntuf shows no signs of an unbalanced mind in fact, he spoke with intelligence on every subject that was brought up. Dnraiicseemed very pleased that he tlai not have to make the trip ....to tho morgue.

Another witness has come forward who thinks he .saw Durant and Miss Williams, or a couple very much rescinbling them, at about 11:15 o'clock: Friday night. As he passed them he ,.

heard the voung lady laugh and the

young man was smiling. Ho did not observe their actions afterward, but says they were walking toward the church. Tho description tallies exactly with tlie dead girl and Durant, and if they were tho persons, his testimony will go to prove that tho girl was notdead early in the evening as has been supposed.

Chief Crowley is still hard at work trying to strengthen the evidence against Dnrant. He says that Ins men have so far obtained no clows which would lead one to believe that the murderer had an accomplice. The chief had a conference with the detectives engaged in the case yesterday and not one of them have found anything to prove that Durant is not tlie guilty man.

General Dickinson, Durant's attorney, called on Durant yesterday and the two held uu animated conversation which lasted for some time. At the conclusion of the {••,::'evonec, General Dickinson informed everal persons that his client was about to make a statement which was not to be made public at present, and requested tlie police to see that Durant was i:ot disturbed. Duran!" wor'-r-.-iL the whole afternoon on the doeaateiii and denied himself to all newspaper men and ids friends.

Li !o ii.po is expected that any bloody clothing belonging to the rnur-der-.-r will be discovered. This, the police say, is the only weak point against rise prisoner.

A slight reaction in public opinion has set iu favor of Dnrant, brought about no doubt by tho testimony of those who witnessed his cool actions after the discovery of the body. His comrades of the signal corps, who were present when the news of the finding of Miss Williams' body and that Durant was wanted tor the crime, was Hashed by the heliograph telegraph system iroui this city to Mount Uiaoio, saying that not a muscle moved or ilusli passed over his face.

His act ion at the Christian Endeavor meeting on the night of the murder of Miss Williams were so gay and he seemed self-possessed that there are many who think the police have run down the wrong man. On the other hand the circutn-aantial testimony against Durant is so strong that something else will have to be done to remove from the minds of many people the impression that he is the guilty man.

The story has been published here that Ella Forsythe, who disappeared April 5, and whose name has been mentioned in connection with the Emanuel church murder as another possible victim, lias been located in Sau Jose, and another story has been published that she has been located in southern California. In both cases she is said to have eloped, but the statements do not appear to be authenticated and her husband does not believe that at all, and still thinks his wife was drowned.

Death or llohort C. Wicklid'e. Shki,bvvihijK, Ky., April 19.—Hon. Robert C. Wickliffe, ex-governor of Louisville, died here yesterday afternoon at the home of his son-in-law, Hon. J. C. Beckham. He had been confined to his room for several weeks previous to his death with grippe, which, complicated with heart trouble, resulted in death. •_

Boo-hoo!"

Tliis Year's Sunshades.

Tho now parasols liavo many little details different from those of last year, but arc about tho same size and shape, says a writer in tho Boston Herald. Tho eccentric shapes are never considered very good form and are only a fad which, as a rule, moat women do not indulge in. Those of this year have somot'inies two materials. For instance, the center part will be of silk or satin, then will como an insertion of folds of chiffon, then a hand of tho thick material and a rufllo of tho chiffon. It is claimed that this fashion of having tho center of tho thick goods shades the eyes sufficiently, and then that the shadows cast by having alternate stripes of satin and chiffon make them very be•joming to the complexion.

Black and whito parasols are exceedingly smart. Not tho black and white material so much as tho black trimmed with white, although quito a number of black and whito stripes aro made up, and black and whito brocades in fancy designs and trimmed with ruffles of black lace seem to meet with general favor. Tho black satin, with broad designs of coarse whito laco and deep ruffles of the sumo lace, aro very smart indeed. Tho advantage of this stylo of parasol is that it can bo worn with a gown of any color and look woll, black and white being permissible with everything. The ruffles of laco and chiffon add greatly to tho beauty of any parasol, but they do provo troublesome for anything that is in daily use and are of course entirely out of place with a tailor made gown or any walking costume. The fancy pompadour silks are made excellent work.—Now York World, lip into exceedingly dainty parasols. These come with blue, pink, yellow or whito ground, with tho sprays of flowers embroidered on them. Sometimes thoy are mado up with lace ruffles, but again aro perfectly plain. The handles are oi whitewood, and there is a big bow on top. They aro extremely reasonable in price, considering their beauty, and can be bought as low as $6. Indeod all parasols are much cheaper this seaBon.

It is high time for brides to think more about the becoming qualities of tho wedding gown and less about conventionality, for it is undeniably a very trying costume, and it is only the interest of the occasion, as well as the loving sympathy of relatives and friends, which makes a halo about a young woman at a time, that causes her to be considered beautiful. The truth of the matter, frankly stated, is that the majority of women never looked worse in their lives than when arrayed for the altar. Can anything be more trying, for instance. than tho usual high necked whito satin bodice that incases a fair young girl possibly on a fiery hot day in summer? Even in wintor the effect is to turn a blond complexion yellow and make a brunette look sallow and dark, and in summer it is unspeakably ugly and uncomfortable.

While low necked gowns aro not considered good form for wedding attire (and certainly they are not desirable for broad daylight), it seems as if a compromise might bo arranged between a ball cut bodice and the high, stiff collar How in vogue. A young girl's throat is generally too pretty to conceal under stiff "wigan" and folds of thick satin.

Then materials, such as crepe lisse or mousselino de. sole, are far prettier and more becoming than silks or satins.— New York Tribune.

Er. I'arUhm-st on "the Xew Woman." But, whatever certain adventurous women may think about it, it is sufficiently clear that nature has certain pretty decided opinions of its own oil tho matter, and that nature has so wrought its opinions into tho tissue of woman's physical constitution and function that any feminine attempt to mutiny against wifehood, motherhood and domestic "limitations" is a hopeless and rather imbecile attempt to escape tho inevitable, writes the Kev. Charles H. Parkhurst in au article on "The True Mission of Woman" in The Ladies' Home Journal. All tho female congresses in the world might combine in colossal mass mooting and vote with passionate show of hands that woman's sphere is coincident witii the spherity of the globe or even of all the heavens, but tho very idiosyncrasy of her physical build and the limitations essentially bound up in it will sponge out her mass meeting resolutions as fast as she can pass them.

It is well enough for her to say that she wisiies sho wero a man, but she is not, and till sho is sho might as well succumb to tho fact that God and nature had very different intentions for her from wiiat he had for her brothers, and that ho recorded his intentions in a way that he has taken some pains to pre-vent-her being able to forget. Iam really sorry for those women that wish they were men. I wish they were. It would bo such a relief to the rest of us as well as to them.

The Latest In Wall l'apei. The very lastest fasliig?n in wall docoration is a bizarre, staring shade of paper known as hunter's red. It comes in plain all over rod and again variogated with figures and pictures. The grotesque and fantastic designs suggest the headless dragons, centaurs and puzzling eccentricities of tho old fashioned paperings of our grandmother's day.

Tho paper is used to docorato bachelors' dens and the bed chambers of country houses. It is essentially English in character and design, many of the designs depicting red coated hunters in English fields. So vividly green is the grass, so impossibly bluo tho water, so distorted tho imago of tho wounded stag, repeated over and over again on yards and yards of papering, that tho beholder wonders aliko at tho artist's powers of invention and the taste which makes such creations possible. Fashion decrees that with this wall decoration must go old time English prints of hunting scones.

With such wall decoration for bedrooms and bachelor apartments tho old fashioned chintz bed curtains and valance of three generations ago have reappcarod. Every imaginable variety of big flowered pattern and prim design is shown in these cottons, and many of them are as delicate in tint and texture as the prettiest silk draperies.—Now York Sun. ...

Nellie 111y.

Nellie Bly is an American. Ilev real name is Elizabeth Cochrane. She is more of an American than most Americans because her ancestors in the gloomy past came over and helped cut down the first trees iu Pennsylvania.

Nellie Biy's achievements lead one to believe that sho must be at least 24 years old. Her appearance, however, is that ot' a much younger woman.

She is rather tall and slender, with a very interesting and intelligent face. Her eyes aro brown, her hair almost black. Her hands seem almost too small to hold a pen. tSho writes, however, very rapidly.

The newspaper work which this young woman has done has had tho advantage of publicity. Sho lived as a supposedly insane patient in the asylum on Blackwell's island for ten days. The result of the articles concerning her experience there was a large appropriation that has meant comfort to many help- I less insane creatures. I

Her description of the treatment of

Council of Jewish Women. The Hebrews as a race are careful and deliberate. To his quality they owe their individuality and success. But once started they display an energy aud activity which aro simply phenomenal. This has been the caso with the National Council of Jewish Women. They wero slow in forming and in elaborating a perfect system of organization. But when this had been accomplished and all was ready they ontered into the work of extension with an alacrity that was marvelous. As a result they have completed an organization which covers every part of tho Union. Wherever there is a Jewish community the council has an active branch of intelligent, benevolent and broad minded women. Tho heads of the organization liavo been very skillful in selecting able local managers in nearly every instance. Among tho moro active leaders are Mrs. H. Solomon of Chicago, Mrs. A. Kohut of New York, Miss Badio American and Miss Rosalie Glaser of Chicago, Mrs. Isabel R. Wallach and Mrs. Minnie D. Louis of New York, Mrs. Clifton Levy of Baltimore, Miss Kohler and Miss Wald of New York, Mrs. Carrie Benjamin of Denver and Mrs. Ollesheiin of New York.—Now York Mail and Express.

Of the action of certain members of the Massachusetts legislature in forming themselves into a committee to canvass the house against woman suffrage, the Springfield Republican says:

This procedure is disagreeable, no doubt, but woman suffragists must not mistake about its nature—it is simply politics. It does not involve moral tur-

1

pitude unless somo of the votes were got by log rolling or other trade and dicker. About its thoroughly benighted character there can be no doubt. It showa how scared weak men are at the prospect of a new force in public affairs, how jealous they are of their masculine prerogative. The more first rate men, in character and brains, are sent to the legislature the larger tho voto for women's enfranchisement will be. There ought to ho great care to pick out worthy citizens to the great and general court, and the time is nigh when belief in tho equal ballot lor women will be regarded as a most important criterion of fitness.

Illinois Factory Women.

The supremo court of Illinois has decided that the eight hour law, or, as it is generally known, tho sweat shop law, is unconstitutional. The law prohibited the employment of womon for more than eight hours a day or more than 4S hours a week in any factory in Illinois. Probably 40,000 women in Illinois who work in factories aro affected by the decision, j2,000 of whom live in Chicago. They aro employed in tho main in shoe factories, cloak and clothing houses, candy factories, paper box shops and various other manufacturing establishments. The ."judges also pronounced unconstitutional section 10 of tho bill, which provided an annual anpropriation of $20,000 for factory inspectors, whose chief duty was to see that the eight hoar clause was eniorced. This will probably end tho valuable work that tho women factory inspectors have been carrying on, with Mrs. Florence Kelley as their chief.—(Springfield Letter.

ii She Is Still I'a-.lor.

Whether in accord with tho discipline or not, Miss Mary M. Dennis continues pastor of tho Methodist Episcopal church of East Park, Indianapolis, which sho organized and which now has a membership of 200. Tho Indianapolis correspondent of Tho Western Christian Advocate says: "Miss M. M. Dennis, pastor of East Park, is among the industrious and untiring workers in the city. Through all tho cold, stormy weather of tho past two months sho conducted successful revival services in her charge and attended to all her pastoral duties in addition. Sho has a growing Sunday school and congregation and is deservedly popular.".

Not a "New Woman."

Henry Harland, the author of "As It "Was Written" and other successful novels, is a Londoner these days, and Mrs. Harland is one of tho most successful women in London literary circles. Her success is purely personal. She doesn't "do" anything. Sho is very pretty and gracious and popular and much admired by young Beardsley, the creator of the latest new kind of curious women in art and a small London idol today. Mr. Harland points out his wife as not a "now woman." "Look at her," ho says. "Pro".a'.ly she doesn't know tho name ot' the president of France at thismoment, but isn't sho a success!"

Ai:«»-st'va! Ke-,c:treli Tlu-ir Work. Miss Annie Wharton and Misse?s Anme II. Cresson of Philadelphia, both-Si Colonial Dames, have adopted historical?!® research as a profession and have formed a bureau of ancestral research. Miss Wharton is the historian of the Colonial Dames and author of "Through Colonial Doorways" and other works bearing upon tho same period. Sho and Miss-»:-» Cresson are specially expi rt in seeking out and arranging ancestral records in.-,-the Historical socioty documents and: other archives.

Vigorous Girlhood.

Any one conversant with tho modern fcnialo school and college knows that ono of the best equijiped and best patronized of tlieir departments is tlie gymnasium, and that Iho result is a raco of strong, graceful girls, who are as far ahead of their counterparts of a generation ago as tho American college athlete of today is ahead of his dyspeptic predecessor of 18G0.—Philadelphia Press.

Women Limp Less and Why. Not nearly so many women limpers from tho shoe malady aro now seen. Appearances aro deceitful in regard to the width of the modern woman's shoe. Tho incroasod length required to furnish tho sharp tood shoe without interfering greatly with the natural toes gives to the shoo a slim appearanco that would be less conspicuous in a shorter shoe.—Boots and Shoes Weekly.

Mrs. W. F. Aram of Oakland, Cal., has been appointed by Sheriff White ono of his deputy sheriffs. Only one duty will be assigned to Mrs. Aram— that is to act as an oscort to insane women taken to the asylum.
