CARNOT SHRANK FROM THE TRIP Ses Se Santo’s Boast on Reading o, Henry's Death. VARIOUS BITS. OF GOSSIP LONDON, June 26.—A_ dispateh from Paris to the Daily News states that in an interview Deputy Chaudey, whose father was shot during the commune, who has just arrived from Lyons, said that he was driving in the official procession at the | time M. Carnot was stabbed. His carriage was directly behind the president's. he, officer, who was riding beside M. Carnot's carriage. was asked by the president to stand aside in order to let “the good peo- ple,” as M, Carnot termed them, who want- ed to shake hands with him, come near. ‘The next minute the assassin jumped upon the step of the carriage. The president held | out his right hand to shake the hand of the stranger. Santo gripped it with his left hand, and raising M. Carnot’s arm, thrust | a knife perpendicularly and with tremen- dous force into the president's body. M. | Chaudey saw the president's carriage turn | round suddenly, and by the light of the 1l- lvminations, scious. Here M. Chaudey described the scene of dire confusion, the shrieks and the anger raised by the act of the assassin. “It was awful,” he added, “to see poor Carnot suffering for three hours. I shall never forget that cruel night. Following is a graphic account given by “I saw the crime committed, helped to carry {the wounded man, and witnessed the efforts of the surgeons. I saw them exchange that awful look which means no hope.” After detailing the appearance of Santo upon the scene he continues: “Another pe- tition, thought I, this sort of thing having happened five or six times previously. But { saw Gen. Borius and the mayor of Lyons stand up In the carriage. ‘Stop him," eried the latter; ‘Back to the prefecture,’ said the former. I rushed forwerd as President Car- not fell back. ‘I am wounded,’ the president exclaimed, in a faint voice, putting his hand to his side, and he fainted. His eves were closed and his face appeared to be con- torted. We thought the president had been killed on the spot. Dr. Poncet, surgeon-in- chief at the Hotel Dieu, was fortunately close by. He ordered the driver to turn around. There was a copious flow of blood, and it necessary that the wound be saw M. Carnot lying uncon- | dressed without delay, and Dr. Poneet or- dered the driver to go at a full gallop to the prefecture. This was done, a squadron of troopers surrounding the carriage. The crowd at this time was in ignorance of what had occurred and cried gaily, ‘Vive Carnot.’ Many persons ran after the car- riage and reached the prefecture abreast of | it. Dr. Poncet lifted the unconscious pres- | ident by the shoulders, another man took his waist, Gen. Borius his head and 1 his legs. Our eyes filled with tears. As gently as possible we took him upstairs and through corridors which seemed endless. Finally we reached his bed room. He was still unconscious, “When we laid him upon the bed the doc- tor pulled open his shirt, cut the grand cor- don of the Legion of Honor and laid bare the wound, which was clotted with blood. The wound was an inch wide. The liver was wounded, and this made the case al- most hopeless. Somebody came from the Hotel Dieu with antiseptic wadding, haemo- static pincers, Van Swieten’s liquor and ice. The president's pulse was scarcely percep- tible. In the room were Dr. Ollier, the lead- ing physician of Lyons; M. Masson and Burdeau, Gen. Borius, Dr. Gailleton, ‘the mayor, Col. Chamoin, Col. Dalstein and Capt. Marindarbel. The last three were members of the president's household. The wound was probed only after a quarter of an hour. There came a rush of black ef- fused blood during the operation. The pa- tient murmured ‘You hurt me; I suffer; you had better leave me.’ When the bleeding Was stopped the wound was washed andj antiseptic cotton inserted. “During these crvel moments } j-ard w'2 noise of fireworks on the le-e, Saere not having been time to stop them. The doc- ters were hoping against hope and digmiss- ed everybody except the officers. Cordials vere sent for, and caffiene waa injected. Oxygen was tried, but nothing could ar- rest the increasing weakness. “The murderous weapon was found tn the president's carriage. It was a Catalan dag- ger, six inches long and nearly an inch wide at its widest part. The handle was of hard wood, at the end of which was an iron knob, making a formidable weapon. When extreme unction had been admin- istered to M. Carnot by the Archbishop of Lyons, the president, who had recovered full consciousness during his last moments, sal ‘I see I am done for.’ His voice was low, but without the slightest trace of fear of death. “*Monsieur Le President,’ replied Dr. Ponchet, ‘your friends are here beside you.’ “‘Oh, I am very, very happy that they are present,’ said the dying man. Those were his last words. “M. Tranchau, the president's secretary, | came outside crying and told the news. He was followed by Gen. Bortus, his. eyes brimming with tears. The doctors’ account of the autopsy says that the wound was one | of the most horrible they had ever seen. The liver was completely pierced. The acrta was cut in two places and a rib broken.” —_—>-— CARNOT SHRANK FROM THE TRIP. He Was Very Reluctant to Go to Lyon LONDON, June —A dispatch to the Daily News from Paris says: “I am told that M. Carnot shrank from going to Lyons. He was long in deciding to make the journey, on account of the weariness arising from his recent ill health. When, however, his friends began to talk of th Lyons anarchists avenging Vaillant’s death the president thought he was in honor bound to go. There has been no disorder here. There is absolutely no feeling in Paris against the Italians. I never saw so little desire to The case went over until tomorrow, in order to hear the evidence of witnesses from the house. | Joseph C. Wildman, also a member of the ; trio of alleged liquor drinkers and beggars, | was seen begging. “At the house of Mr. Lord,” said the of- | ficer, “he was given a bundle of food, but | it evidently did not suit him, for he threw | the bundle at a wagon driver, after exam- | ining the contents.” “When did you get out?’ Judge Kimball asked him, ‘A month ago,” he answered. “He told me that he jusi got out Satur- day,” added the officer. “Sixty days.” Took a Bath. Edward Butler, a colored boy, one of the few prisoners in the Police Court today | who had had a bath for a long time, was | locked up because he took a wash in the Anacostia river last evening. Policeman Smith arrested the boy and said he did so because of the fact that a number of ladies | are on the water in boats every afternoon.

Despite the public grief, which is sincere, the Parisians never had such cool heads and so dispassionate a no- tion of the situation.

He disdained these threats, and would not allow any precautions for his safety to be taken. He was not a timorous man. I met him once in the Champs Elysees quite —" Col.

A trunk that was seized in his room con- tained nothing of a compromising nature. | They also questioned a number uf Santo's comrades, some of whom wel rested.

The coroner’s jury, in returning their verdict, indorsed it with a rider to the « fect that tn the opinion of the jurymen the general did not intend to inflict a fatal in- jury upon Burton. The general's defense was that he was jostled by a companion of Burton ond that he raised his umbrella in self defense when the deceased was on the point of striking him with a camp stool. ——--— NORTHWESTERN COMMONV ALERS.

CONDITION OF CUBA UNDER SPAIN Oe Some of the Curious Customs of the Inhabitants. THEY TAKE LIFE EASY Writven Exclusively for The Evening Star. “I have just returned f>om a visit to the western hemisphere,” said Mr. Robert Hill of the geological survey. “It is called Ba- racoa, and fs situated at the eastern end of the Island of Cuba. Spaniards started the settlement ten years after the discovery of America by Columbus. It has been a scene | of turbulence and bloodshed for centuries. During the great revolution of twenty-tive years ago a battle was fought there, in which three hundred men were killed, the high ground back of the city affording a refuge for the insurgents, who sallied forth fcrm time to time upon the town, At present, however, Baracoa ts most interesting as one of the greatest banana- shipping ports in the world. I should tell you preliminarily that, whe the western part of Cuba is a vast plantaticn of sugar and tobacco, the east end of the island is a willerness covered, for the most part, with Virgin forests. Such portions of the eastern | half as are under cultivation produce chietly bananas and cocoanuts. The coast, you | must understand, is very abrupt, ascending in three remarkable terraces to a general | altitude of 2,000 feet. Beyond rise the mountains to a height of 6,000 feet. | “The banana plantations are not seen from the coast. On the arrival of a fruit | Steamer messages are sent by telephone to | central points in the interior, From these | points horseback riders convey the news to | the banana plantations. The bananas are | then cut, after which they are transported ‘in panniers by cows to the {plateau overlooking the coast. Thence | banks of the Yumirl river, where they are ‘loaded upon smell lighters. Negroes pole | the lighters out of the river and through the urf to the fruit vessel. As might be im- ined, this is a dangerous performance, and the lighters are often upset. si ing the Banan: | “The mouth of the Yumiri river is eight- | cen mifes from Baracoa. After getting a ‘load, the fruit steamer revurns to the town | for her clearance ‘papers, and twenty-four | hours after her arrival back to Philadelphia, New York or Boston. | The planter gets 30 cents a bunch for his | bananas, delivered at the top of the cliff. Ten cents a bunch in addition ts paid to the trolley concern for fetching the merchandise | to the river's edge. The negroes pass the | bananas from the lighters into the hold of the vessel, chain-fashion. The bunches are stood on end, two deep, upon a false deck. ‘Vhe negroes are the happiest people im- aginable. They sing songs while they pass the bunches into the vessel. A man stand: on the deck of the ship and examines every | bunch. Any bunch that shows the least | sign of ripening ts thrown away or given to the laborers. The craft being loaded, a free ride to Baracoa is given to the darkey: They bring with them dogs, goats, pigs | end chickens, which are their pets. Every negro possesses one or more pet anima with two or four legs, which he takes about wherever he goes. The place of honor on board the vessel is near the door of the captain's cabin, around which the black passengers squat. . “The United States consul, though not obliged to do so, clears the frult vessels at any hour of the day or night. Thus they lose no time in starting due north for New York, or one degree west of north for Phil- adelphia. The American consul at Baracoa jis the only United States citizen in the place. He has occupied the post for a num- ber of years and is Mkely to stay there, for | the climate is so unhealthy that all of his | predecessors have died of it. | the On reaching port of destination in this country, the fruit steamer discharges her cargo within a | few houf? ahd starts back immediately f Cuba. From April 1 to October from SO | every day from Baracoa. The town is on |@ tongue of land projecting into the guif. | On the point is an ancient Spanish fort. about the size of an ordinary dwelling house, with ditch ard moat, armed with six- teenth-century cannon. They Have Carpetbagger. “I have spoken of cocoanuts as the most important product of eastern Cuba after bananas. The fruiters pay $8 a thousand for them. On the island they are hulled, ground ond pressed for ofl. The process re- sembles that by which cotton-seed oil is ade. The ‘cake’ of solid residue is fed to ‘sor thrown away, while the shells are d for fuel in sugar factories. The oil is employed as a lubricant for sugar-making machinery Better uses for the cocoanut are familiar, such as the manufacture of scap and mats, but all industries in Cuba are extremely primitive. “An industry at Baracoa ts the refining of petroleum. It would be much easier to fetch the refined oil from the United States. But the import duty ts so high that it pay better to get the crude petroleum from this country and refine it on the tsland. This ta little freak of Spanish custom Factories have been ‘estublished in Central America for making flour from bananas, which are put through pfocesses | of sHeing, drying and grinding; but it will be a long time before such a modern idea is taken up in Cuba. The fact is that the island is about a century behind the age. Carpetbagism prevails there in its most exaggerated form, All the officials are | from Spain; there ts an occupying army of ) Spanish soldiers, a captain general does the governing, and no native is per- mitted to hold office. Way Behind the Age. | “People in this country have a rather hazy idea about Cuba. I dare say you do not realize that the sland is as long as j from New York to Chicago, and extends | through three and a half degrees of lati- | tude. Yet the richest of the Antilles has [no public roads. Spanish government, | wherever it is found, bars the progress of | civilization. There are no puklie Improve- ‘iments in Cuba. The eastern half of the \island has no highway; the roads leading | into the intericr are cow paths and nothing | more. | “Spain will never let us have Cuba. She | will not sell the island at any price. That ‘1s a pity; for, if we could get hold of Cuba, | she would jump ahead about two hundred | years within half a decade. The resources | of the country are undeveloped. In the mountains ar? vast stores of metallic wealth. Some deposits of iron are worked by the Carnegie company, which employs | about 1,000 men, the product being shipped to the United States. The limestone forma- tion of the island decays into a rich, red soil, which produces great crops of almost janything. The Qanenas exported from | Baracoa are the finest in the world. | “Tobacco is grown all over the island. The best cigars made from east Cuban | leaves are sold for a cent ard a half apiece. Of course, they are not equal to the pro- | duct of the Vuelts Abajo, but they are bet- r than could be manufactured from any | tol 0 plants produced in the *Untted | States. Most Cubans roll their own cigars. | They ave odd peop! You ought to see one | of their funerals. If the defunct was an im- | pertant personage the hearse looks like a | eireus wagon, richly gilded, with gigantic plumes. The driver and footman wear red coats, white pantaloons and cocked hats. Social Customs and Ha “’he popular amusement par excellence in Cuba is chicken fighting. Every man has his fighting cock, and the wemen make pets of chickens. The best citizens keep many game cocks, ready plucked for combat, each fowl tied by a cord to a stake, lest he get | away and indulge his appetite for conflict ithout due supervision. A training pen is built of bamboos, and in it each rooster ts placed once a day, while a small boy with a switch drives the bird around for a couple of hotrs. This is a training process, pro- ducing muscle and activity. The Cubans never fight their birds with gaffs, the nat- vral weapons being deemed sufficient. “The flora and fauna of Cuba are peculiar. oldest. town settled by white men in the | age of the! hey are run down by wire trolleys to the ! she is on her way | to 18,000 bunches of bananas are shipped | indicate bright prospects for a large yield. Insects have appeared in but few yards,and not so numerous in those as to cause any apprehension for the caicty of the crop. |The animals and plants bear little resem- | blance to these of the United States. Doubt- less the island was, at one time, connected with the mainland of tropical America. AMUSEMENTS: INESS CHANCES. BOARDING cIry ITEMS COAL AND Woop. COMMISSIONERS OF DEEDS. COUNTRY REAL ESTATE.

Detectives Hire 2 Room Thro: aw The police have made ancther important move in the direction of the Alexandria policy people, and their alleged Washington representative was arrested this morning and locked up at the first precinct station. There was no “tip” given the policy men, and the arrest was a complete surprise,both and W low. are interested in the game in other re- spects. poy has been carried on in the vicinity | of the Baltimore and Potomac depot, about | saloons and on the street corners, and they also ve information to the effect that persons supposed to know the police were | policy men of their approach. Inspector Hollinberger, Detective Lacy and Policemen Kilmartin and Helan have been working on the case, and last night about midnight the two precinct officers | registered under fictitious names at the St. Jemes Hotel, and at their request were given a room on the 6th street side, from the window of which they were able to see the movements of the alleged policy men on the street. Shortly after daybreak the officers arose and went on gua! and about ¥ o'clock one of .he “watcher: of police headquarters, evidenuy looking about to report the movements of the de- tectives, and particularly Detective Lacy. The latter saw what was going on, and he strolled across the street and sat on a wagon, to throw the man off his guard. He undoubtedly reported “all quiet on the Potomac,” for the operations about the | depot were begun, so it is claimed, and a | colcred man, known as “Jeff,” thought to be the confidential collector about the de- pot, was seen to cross the street several Umes. All ethis time the officers were watching his movements, and about 11 o'clock they left their room and walked down stairs. There in the toilet room they found Edward Connover, the alleged rep- resentative of the Alexandria firm, and he had a bunch of policy plays on him. He resisted arrest and refused to go at first, but resistance was of no avail in the hands of these stalwart officers, and they escorted him to pdlice headquarters, where held evidence against him. Lacy and Officer Helan the: it out and arrested the colored man. “Jeff” Remus. Both men were locked up for a hearing. There is already a charge of policy pending against Connover and now that the officers have secured these plays it is likely that he will be given an early hearing. Since the opening of the Alexander Island race track Jones Bros., proprietors of the track, have made@an effort to break up the Jackson City policy shops, and it is said that they have about succeeded. ile the shops have moved from near this once lawless place, it is stated that some of them have only moved back into the country, one of them running a place near the brick yards. The police state that the city ts as free of policy as it has been for many years, although there is some little writing being done. The investigation of the policy business is still Being continued and it ts probable that some additional arrests will be made before the Connover case is tried. Not a Terre Tenant. A bill in equity was filed today by John E. Roller against Lioyd E. Carruthers and Marshal A. A. Wilson to restrain the sale of lots 8, 9 and 10, square 1028. The complainant states that he is alleged to be the terre tenant of the late John Ambler Smith, against whom certain judgments were obtained, which judgments were sub- sequently entered to the use of the de- fendant, Carruthers. The complainant de- nies that he is the terre tenant of Smith, anc declares that Smith was the mere conduit for the transfer of the property to him (the complainant). Judge Hagner granted a temporary restraining order, re- turnable July 10 next. —_-_~—_> Top Ambitious, From the Youth's Companion. Many people who taik with simplicity and correctness become at once unnatural and awkward when they take up the pen. So it was with Johnny Bates. In the reading lesson there was a refer- erce to some one who had “contracted a cold,” and the teacher called the word “contracted.” To cold,” he explained, than to catch a cold. That afternoon Johnny had to write a composition, and, like @ sensible boy, chose for his subject an account of a fishing excursion. On the whole it was a pretty creditable performance for a boy of Johnny's age, but the teacher was obliged to laugh when he came to this sentence: “I fished half an and contracted five perches and one hi pout.” Detective From the Philadelphia Times, A Philadelphia expert in handwriting has secured striking results in applying photog- raphy to detect forged signatures by the making of composite photographs. In the genuine signatures, where, of course, no two are exactly alike, the lines of the composite are blurred and irregular, while the forged signatures, where a single copy has been imitated, are all very regular. coo A cyclone on Sunday night wrecked many buildings east of Galesburg, Ill.
