SANGUILLY AND CEPERO'S CASES The Latter Talks With the Star Correspondent. TALES OF CAPTURED REBELS From The Stur's Special Correspondent. HAVANA, January 29, 1896. it is strange that when an American cit- izen is arresteu in Cuba and thrown into prison by the authorities, local Spanish Papers forthwith adjudge him guilty of such crimes as are punishable by capital cxe- cutions, and clamor for an immediate carrying out of the sentence. In numerous instance. during the past six or eight months has the prompt and determined intervention uf the American consul gen- eral, Mr. Williams, alone saved the lives of citizens of the United States. Mr. Williams, like most officers of the consular or diplomatic service, has no use for bogus citizens—those who for a few dollars have purchased notarial certificates somewhere or another in the United States, and who know little and care less concern- ing the American government and peopie— but this particular representative of our country in Havana has shown himself a capable, willing and unflinching defender of the true American citizen who may by some means vr other get into trouble with the Spanish authorities. Julio Sanguilly, now in the Morro serving a life sentence, was ordered shot, when the consul general protested n no uncertain manner and saved his life. The same is true of Jose Lorenzo Cepero, recently made prisoner on the steamer coming from Cien- fuegos. The Evening Star correspondent visited Cepero in his cell at the Morro today. He denies that he is or was in any way con- nected with the revolution, and cites offi- cial dispatches from the field showing that the rebel leader Cepero is still with the in- surgents, and, by the way, doing some hard fighting with his little band. Cepero, the prisoner, is certainly a bona fide Amer- ican eltizen of fifteen years’ standing. He came to Cuba some time ago, not for the purpose of taking up arms against Spain, but of going to work upon a plantation as assistant manager in the grinding mill. However, his case has been transferred to the jurisdiction of the civil courts, and if he is granted a trial within a year or two he probably will not receive more than a life sentence. Despite the transfer of his case to the civil courts by the local authorities, Havana newspapers today demand that he be immediately tried and punished. One of them, El Pueblo, says that it is a shame that Spain will allow such a man even a show of his life. “He should be given over to the people in the street: the flimsy sheet declares, ‘and torn limb from limb.” Fooling the Spanish. In ceils alongside of Cepero’s are two “plateados,” bushwhackers, who were cap- tured near Bahia Honda a few days ago. They were not “shot as soon as taken, which would be in accordance with an or- der issued some time ago with reference to “plateados,” but were brought to Havana and allowed to live, at least up to this time, because they assured the authorities that Maximo Gomez was wounded. The government does not seem to be awake te such stores, which rebel prisoners and “plateados” know so well how to tell. A rebel is captured in a fight. He is mor- ally certain that he will not be treated like a prince (unless he happens to think of those two unfortunates in Richard II), and he at once informs his captor that he has a bit of Important information for him. Gomez was wounded. Ah, the Span- sh officer is much pleased! Now he will wire to Havana the glorious news, and he will receive a decoration for having com- THE OFFICIAL WEATHER WAP : =] EXPLANATORY NOTE: Observations taken at 8 a.m., 75th meridian time.

Among them was Coloma, a young man of wealth and good standing. His sweetheart, Miss Orbl, accompanied him. ‘At one place along the road a troop of Spanish cavalry gave chase, and the sen- crita fell from her horse. Coloma and Juan Gualberto Gomez, at that time editor of La Lucha, the foremost Havana news- paper, while assisting the senorita to re- mount, were captured. Gomez was sent to Ceuta, Africa, and Coloma to life imprts- onment at the Morro. After his arrest he and Senorita Orbi were married. Churches continue to suffer. Yesterday at Rio de Ay, in the district of Remedios, a hot fight occurred at the church which TWO WHITE BUSHWACKERS ARRESTED AND EXECUTED. manded troops in a battle wherein Gomez was wounded! There can be no doubt about it—rebel prisoners say so. And straightway the artful captives are sent to Havana to tell how the rebel chief was shot, how he fell from his horse in the midst of the fray and how he was carried away bleeding and dying. Gomez is certainly a remarkable man. He has been killed nine times and wounded over a hundred! Yet he continues active enough to evade the thousands of govern- ment troops that areafter him. _ But, as a matter of fact, Gomez has re- ceived three slight wounds in the present war, and seven horses have been killed from under him. But to the two plateados. The Havana papers are not calling loudly for their ex- ecution, although one of them outraged and horribly mutilated a girl of twelve years, and the other nearly killed a priest, and took $500 in gold from his pockets. ‘A French Correspondent's Case. In tha Cabanas fortress, back of the Mor- ro, The Star correspondent found Honore Laine, a French citizen, charged with be- ing a revolutionist. On Sunday, though suffering from fever, he-was removed from the hospital to the cold, damp cell he now occupies. Laine was located upon the Coral Falso plantation, in Matanzas, and acted as a sort of interior correspondent for one of the leading New York papers, whose staff correspondent was in Havana. When Gomez's army came along he was taken prisoner and kept ten days. Then he was allowed to go. Bubbling over with the joy of his experience he came to Havana that the world might know all about the rebels. He talked very freely, supped at the most fashiorable hotel in the city, and now sees before him the prospect of a long sojourn at Ceuta, Africa, penal sta- ser Romance ef a Prison. ‘There {s romance as well as tragedy at the Morro. Until wit! a few days a lov- ing wife has remained beside her husband, who is doomed, as the Spanish legal phrase is, to “perpetual confinement.” This young women is known to the public as Senorita Orbi, although she is married to Juan Coloma. When the war broke out in the eastern had been used by the Spanish troops as a garrison. A large party had gone out in the morning, and when the rebels appeared there were only thirteen soldiers left to defend the edifice. They fought bravely for several hours, or until nme of their number hed been killed. The remaining four surrendered. Smallpox on a Transport. The Spanish transport Padre de Satrus- teguia, which arrived here a few days ago with several batteries of artillery, has been quarantined, as there are forty cases of smallpox on board. Yellow fever has prac- tically ceased with the advent of cool weather, but smallpox, brought by soldiers from the Africen coast and the Phillipine Islands, continues to rage without abate- ment. Lieut. Col. Ordonez, inventor of the fa- mous Spanish cannon by that name, ar- rived in conimand of the artillery batter- ies. He is to be made inspector general of artillery and coast defenses for the western district of the island. Gen. La Chambre, who formerly held the post here, will be stationed at Santiago de Cuba. An Outrage. From Santiago de Cuba comes a sad story. Mrs. Eugeno Guillot, whose hus- band, a former French army officer, is Gen. Maceo's chief of staff, was recently taken from her bed and carried off to the city prison, were upon her arriva) she gave birth to a child. Yesterday she died. Capt. Gen. Marin is highly incensed over the out- rage and has ordered the unfeeling officer who made the arrest to be brought before him. Havana's financial circles are agitated over the intimation that Spain will again flood the country with paper money. A lo- cal paper says: “Spain never redeemed in gold or silver, as she agreed to, the paper currency issued during the last war, and we have no reason to believe that she would carry out her pledges on another occasion. We all remember how the gov- ernment and people agreed to burn all the paper money (which became worth three cents on the dollar), and that in future Spain would send nothing but gold or silver to Cuba.” At the close of the last war $20,000,000 of this paper was burned pub cly in Havana, and business men consider it very bad faith on the part of the government if an attempt 1s made to force another issue upon them.

TBE GRAND JURY Evidence Conclusive as to the Three Prisoners. THE WITNESSES HEARD In Judge Miller’s cot this morning the three alleged burglars, implicated in the robbery of the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home car office last Saturday morning, ap- peared for a preliminary hearing and waived an examination. Judge Miller, how- ever, preferred to hear enough proof to warrant him in holding them, and when three witnesses had teen heard he was satisfied that their conduct should be in- vestigated by the grand jury and com- mitted them to jail in default of $2,000 se- curity. The robbery of Night Superintendent Charles W. Bubb, the police think, was well planned and executed, but being nov- ices in the business the alleged burglars did aot know how to cover their tracks. In the first place the cane belonging to Monrse D. Shanks, or Shenk, alias Good- ing, the alleged principal, was used by the one who wore the false beard and whiskers in his effort to present the appearance of an old man, and the leaving of this cane, which was so easily ideatified, was a fatal blunder. Following this, together with the open manner in which the parties dealt Grace Gooding. © with Mr. Rundlett, the costumer, the al- leged leader sent Cond ictor Hanier $ by the woman. Hanier had been his friend, and out of the goodness of his heart he sent him the amount of money mentioned. This money was in small silver pieces, ana the police are certain that it was part of the contents of the twenty-six bags taken from the car office. In the Police Court. . But Conductor Hanier remained true to kis employer, and, instead of spending the mcrey and shielding his supposed friend, he went to Policeman Cochran, who had krown all parties to the affair, and told him of th2 occurrence. This was how Cochran happered to be called into the case and sent to Winchester, where he arrested Shanks and his female companion, Grace Goodirg, who does not now claim to be his wife, although they had lived together at 622 I street as Mr. and Mrs. Gooding. In Baltimore she stopped at a hotel under the name “Miss Robinson.” Last night William Isaac Roberts, the Englishman and alleged participant in the robbery, was taken ill at the police station, and had to be taken to the Emergency Hospital for treatment. This morning he had another attack, and when he had partly recovered he was taken to the Police Court, and had to be assisted into court by the officers, and given a seat while the court heard the statements of witnesses. Shanks and the female had reached court ahead of him. Ali three of them were seated on the one bench behind the iron grating. The two former chatted pleasantly, paying no attention to the crowd of spectators who had been attracted there by the an- nouncement that the case would be heard. Clues Produced. Detectives Bcyd and Helan, who had in- vestigated the case, were in court and they exhibited the wig and false beard, as well as the burned fragments of the tickets and Lrass fasteners of the bags they had found in the room occupied by the three prisoners. Secretary Gray of the railroad company, a: well as 2 number of the road’s employes, vere also in court. When the case was called the trio of pris- cners stood at the rail and listened to the reading of the charge agairst them, which bad been changed from grand larceny to housebreaking. This was done because of the small penalty provided by the law for grand larceny. ‘The prisoners announced that It was their @esire to waive an examination, which would prevent a public hearing at this time, but Judge Miller said he would hear enough of the proof to convince him whether or not the defendants were connected with the robbery. Superintendent Bubb. Superintendent Bubb was first put on the stand. He was eool and collected and told of his excitirg experience early Saturday morning while on duty attending to clerical work and protecting the preperty of the company. “The last car had turned in,” he nd I was’ busy mating up my account: “What time was it?” Judge Miller inter- rupted. “Between half-past one and two o'clock,” answered witness. “I was making up my Be s,"” resumed witness, “when th man, apparently an old man walking with a cane, entered the oifice and asked for the use of the telephone. I granted his request, and he came in. I noticed nothing wrong until the man halted, and when I locked up he was pointing a pistol at me, and aid, William I. Roberts. said: ‘That will do; you sit down and V'll attend to the rest.’ I could not do other than obey him, for I was not armed.” Witness went on ani explained how the man filled his pockets with the sacks and how he changed his pistol from one hand to the other when he had filled one of his pockets and wanted to use the pocket on the other side of his coat. “And was this the would-be old man?” the court asked. “Yes, sir,” responded witness. “He was the man who wore the wig and false “Was there anybody with him?” “Not that I saw.” ‘How long was the man‘in the office?” “I think about five minutes.” “Have you seen Shanks with the beard on since that night?” ‘Yes, sir; I saw him at police headquar- “And do you think he is the man who committed the robbery?” : _ FINANCIAL.

He told of how Conductor Hanier had given information concerning the money sent him by Shanks, and of how Policeman Cochran went to Win- chester and made the two arrests. Witness and Detective Helan went to the house where the prisoners had a room, and found that Shanks and the woman were known as ‘Mr. and Mrs. Gooding.” There they found the burned fragments of car tickets and the brass fastenings burned from the money bags of the conductors. While they were there the defendant (Roberts) entered, and seemed very much surprised. Roberts had a new suit of clothes, which, he said, he had bought with money sent him from Phil- Monroe L. Shenk. adelphia by a man named Smith. He after- ward said Shanks bought the clothes for him. Roberts told him that Friday night he went to Takoma Park, where he made a call. When he left there he roamed about the woods all night and reached home in the morning. “Where were these people arrested?” the court asked. “Shanks and the woman were captured at Winchester,” the officer wered, “and we got Roberts in his room. The pistel, witness said, was bought at Groce’s pawnshop, on E street. ad about the whiskers? sked. ‘Here they are," replied Detective Boyd, exhibiting the outfit. Witness also told of the finding of the cane, and of Shanks’ statement that it be- longed to him. He told the court that the prisoners were together when they hired the costume. Shanks, he said, spent about $130 for clothing. The Prisoners Held. The costumer who hired the disguise in the case identified Shanks ard the woman. There was a man with them, but he could not positively identify the third prisoner as that man. Shanks told him he had made a bet that he could disguise himself so that a particular friend would not know him. He had one costume when he visited wit- ness’ place, but it did not seem to suit. Witness said that they were in his place either Wednesday or Thursday, and on Saturday a colored man returned the cos- tume. “That will do,” sald the court. “The prisoners may give x00 bond for the ac- tion of the grand jury. ‘The finding of the court in the case sick- ened the three prisoners, whose alleged criminal career had been cut short so early, and they soon signified a willingness to talk of the case, and the detectives think they want to make a clean breast of the alleged conspiracy and burglary. Being unable to give bail the prisoners were com- mitted and this afternoon the detectives will interview them in jail. It is said that the prisoner known as Shanks is really named Shenk, and that his father is a farmer near White Post, only a few miles from Winchester. The young woman stated last night that his father will sell his farm and all his other earthly possessions to save his son from the penitentiary, if possible. SEE SS The Atlanta Exhibit.
