A dispatch from Louisville, Ky., last night sa The stories growing out of the conference between Sergt. F. Wharton Golden of the Barbourville company of State militia and the attorneys who are Managing the investigation of the assas- sination of Gov. Goebel have caused a sen- sation throughout the state. The story ts published that Golden has Givulged to the attorneys the name of the man who fired the shots that killed Goebel. The person mentioned fs a mulatto named Combs, who formerly lived at_ Winchester, Was prominent in the French-Eversole feud and !s known as a dead shot. This man is Bow supposed to be in the wilds of one of the mountain counties. Evidence that he was in Frankfort at the time of the as- Sassination was found among papers taken from W. H. Culton, a clerk in the auditor's offce, when the latter was arrested a week or s© ago OM a Warrant charging him with being an accessory to the murder. Among these papers were receipts for board bills amounting to about $300, incurred by eighteen men, who were in Frankfort for some time before and at the time Gov. Goebel was shot. In one of these receipts the name of the mulatto mentioned is given. The receipt in this case is for money recetved from John Perkins by Bettina Pittman for the board of three — Perkins ‘s @ porter about the state ue, MR. ROOT’S VISIT TO CUBA Gives the President His Impressions of ‘ Conditions. People Have Much-to Learn Before They Can Comprehend Features of Popular Government. In the course of a visit to the White House yesterday afternoon, Secretary Root gave the President the results of his ob- ions of affairs in Cuba. He subse- Je a statement to the press. the question of the ultimate in- dependence of the island came up for dis- ion during the Secretary's visit to Cu- but he was not prepared to say just when the United 8t government would be willing that this should be a reality. Coming Municipal Elections. Incidental to this matter, which is upper- most in the Cuban mind, are the formative The first of namely, the holding of the municipai at an early date, was a subject Secretary Root discussed freely, par- larly with the United States officials on island, and the arrangements for car- rying into effect this first step toward an independent g nment Were matters into which d very carefully aid the Secretary, frst effort toward ustomed as they ure as the babe ng to learn, The fective the scheme steps that will bring it about. these, that SES a Ee ee ee be oular government. to these things, rm fully in all amount time, b the € howe reads of M of labor t ultimat clions taki at the g holding the e considerable rked out and rdly believe, rittes will be quite tions by the first Cuban Independence. Secretary Root was not prepared to ven- ture an opinion as to just when he be- lHeved this government would grant com- plete independence to the Cubans. The declaration in the joint resolution of Con- gr however, granting them full inde- pendence, would be carried out. He pointed out how it would be necessary that the municipal governments should be firmly ¢: tablished on a working basis, after which attention would be given to the selection of a constitutional convention for the purpose stitution for the island and 's adoption by the people. Following this and the establish ant of a firm govern- ment in the Island, the Secretary felt would be time for the formal recognition of the independence of the island and the with- drawal of the assistance and supervision of the authorities of the United States, Talk With the Leaders. Mr. Root said he made ft a feature of his it to talk with the leaders of what has een known as the revolutionary element of the population and those who are op- posed to annexation to the United States, and found that they are not impatient over what are regarded as necessary and rea- sonable delays in the formation of a well- established government. When a stable and settled policy of rule has been established the Secretary believes the island will have a s on of prosperity and that outside capital as well as much now there remain- ing uninvested because of the uncertainty that exists will find its way into the chan- nels of trade and agriculture. = WANT ELECTIONS POSTPONED. Some Cubans Think May 1 Too Early to Hold Them. A dispatch from Havana yesterday says: Some pressure has been brought to bear upon the cabinet secretaries to induce them to urge Gen. Wood to postpone elections from May 1 to some date in July. Thus far, however, this has been unavailing. Gen. Wood says the elections will certainly take place during May, although they may fall in the latter part of the month, owing to the brevity of the tite for preparation. The Discusion, discussing the question of post- poneme 5 “It would be a good thing to postpone the elections, seeing so much depends upon them and that so little has been done. A weeks more or less of the continuance tervention are of no importance. But at really does matter is that good mu- nicipalities should be chosen. Gen. Woo@ has written to Senor Tamayo, secretary of government, directing him, in view of the approaching elections, to in- struct ail mayors to make returns of the approximate number of voters, bearing in mind the proposed restrictions, and also to make preparations for the elections. The mayors are to establish polling places at the rate of one for every 400 voters in the town, such places to be hired for four days, and good notice being given before the elec- tion day regarding the precise whereabouts of the places chosen. They are also to pro- vide at least four booths, or retiring places, to which voters sha'l go to arrange their voting cards. In the country districts, if necessary, the number of polling places ay exceed one for every 400 voters, as no Voter must be required to travel more than eight miles to vote. Maximo Gomez has addressed a letter to the committee which recently walted upon the bishop of Havana, Mgr. Sbaretti, to present a protest against his continuance in the bishopric. In the course of his letter he says the committee ought not to have called upon the bishop, but should have summoned him before it to hear the re- sult of “his own obstinacy and that of the pope.” Gen. Gomez goes on to say: “Mer. Sbarett! is not the just man I had previously be'feved him to be, for, if he were, he would not disturb a country eo desolated by war troubles by insisting upon remaining at the head of the diocese of Havana. Cubans must not forget that the pope blessed the armies of Weyler. The pope and Mgr. Sbaretti will be responsible for the schism wlich will be produced in Cuba. If I were alone in the protest I would climb to the highest peak in Cuba and ery, ‘Begone, foreign usurpation.’ ” On the ether hand, a committee is being formed to protest against the action of the so-cal'ed popular committee which waited .

VPablic Reception in Savannah Aba doned Because of It. The program for the entertainment of Ad- miral and Mrs. Dewey at Savannah was broken yesterday evening by the illness of the admiral. A public reception had been arranged for the hours between 9 and 1}, and five thousand persons gathered at the De Soto Hotel to greet the distinguished visitors. But the admiral was too Ml to appear and the function was abandoned. The admiral suffered an attack of indi- gestion on board the revenue cutter Hamil- ton while the party was on a trip down the river and harbor. Surgeon General Wyman of the marine hospital service and Dr. J. B. Graham, who were aboard the cutter, attended the admiral, but his indisposition was sO severe that it was deemed best to bring him back to Savannah on the steam yacht Baracouta, belonging to Mr. Edward Kelly of New York. which was accompa- nying the revenue cutter. The admiral was resting easy fast night, and his physician said he would no doubt be able to go on with the program of arrangements today. soe METHODISTS FOR EXPANSION, Philadelphia Conference Adopts Paper Sapporting President. ‘The Philadelphia conference of the Meth- edist Episcopal Church adopted a paper In support of the expansion policy of the pres- ent national administration. The paper is tn all respects similar to the one adopted re- cently by the south Kansas conference, and is in the form of a call for volunteers to go to the Philippines for evangelicai work. It was presented by the Rev. T. B. Neeiy, who stated that nothing more providential had occurred in recent years than the ac- quisition by this country of the Philippines, and that it {s absolutely necessary that we assert our power, STARTED FOR KALAMAZOO Two.Boys Who Wanted Experience as Indian Killers, Taken in Charge by Hyattsvilie Con: stable and Brought to This City by Detective. Noble Dauer and Seymour Chunn, run- away boys; sixteen and ten years old, re- ectively, were arrested at Hyattsville yes- terday afternoon and brought to this city. The former is from Wheeling, W. Va..and the latter lives in this city, at No. 207 6th street northeast. He has been restored to his parents and the West Virginia boy will be started home tonight. The attention of Constable Vincent of Hyattsville was at- tracted»to the boys as they were counting the railroad ties, and he took them to the office of Justice Carr. The truants told the magistrate and constable that they lived in this city. They said they were just taking a walk and would probably go as far as Baltimore. Dauer gained the sympathy of the Maryland officers by telling them that he an orphan and was on his way to Baltimore, hoping he would find some char- itable people. Magistrate Carr was expressing his sym- pathetic views when Detective Hartigan reached his office. The latter soon learned the truth of the case and brought the boys ere. S Pca wore a cadet’s uniform. He told the officer that he had been attending the Lindsley Institute at Wheeling, but his teacher was ‘‘too fresh,” and after a row, in which he and the instructor were in- volved, he left Sunday morning, March 4. He concluded he would come to this city, as he had heard so much about the sights here. When he got his clothes packed and had secured $40 for expenses, he learned he could not get a train coming this way until late in the day, and bought a ticket for Cincinnati. From there he came here by way of Pittsburg. Two days were spent on the train. His Money Exhausted. Arriving here Tuesday, he walked from the Baltimore and Ohio depot up Capitol Hill, and finally stopped in Stanton Park, where the Peabody school children were playing. He soon made friends with the Chunn boy and then found a boarding house. When the money he had taken from his parents’ home was about gone he con- cluded to leave. He and the Chunn boy held a consultation and decided they would tramp and freight it as fa’ Kalamazoo, Michigan, where they would become cow- boys and kill Indians. Before starting on their western trip, the Chunn boy got what jewelry he could find in his mother’s home, and this was found in one of the satchels the boys carried. Dauer had in his pocket a loaded revolver which he had brought from home. Young Chunn was glad to get home, and while his experience was a brief one, he will probably never forget it. The boys had had notifing to eat since morning, and when asked where they expected to get something Dauer re- plied: Mi “I thought we would find some kind- hearted old lady.” Chunn went home with his brother last night. Dauer’s parents live at No. 1102 Market street, Wheeling. His mother tele- graphed money for the purchase, of his re: turn ticket, and also an allowance for ex: Denses, —_+>——_. STEYN REPLIES TO ROBERTS. He Denies Charge of Abuse of the White Flag. The following dispatch from Lord Rob- erts, dated Bloemfontein, Monday, March 19, was posted at the war office in London yesterday: “I have received the following reply to my telegram of March 11 to the presidents of the Free State and South African ‘re- public: “Your excellency’s telegram reached me I assure you nothing would yesterday. grieve me more than that my burghers | should make themselves guilty of adeed such as that laid to their charge by you. I am, however, glad to say that you must have been mistaken. I have made personal in- quiry of’Gen. Delarey, who was in com- mand of our burghers at the place men- tionee by you. He denied entirely that our burghers acted as stated by you, but he says that on Saturday, the date being illegibie, the British troops, when they were about fifty yards from our position, put up their hands as well as a white flag, while at the same time your cannon bombarded the said troops, With the result that Commandant De Beer was wounded. Yesterday morning the head commandant wrote in his account of the battle as follows: ‘The soldiers hoisted the white flag, but were then fired at by the English cannon and compelled to charge.’ “Perhaps it is not Known to your excel- lency that.the same thing happened at Spion Kop, where, when a portion of the troops hoisted a white flag and put up thelr hands, and while our burghers were busy disarming them, another portion of the troops fired on our burghers; but some of the British troops were killed. It has also been reported that at the last battle of the Tugela English cannon fired on troops who had surrendered. “With reference to the explosive bullets found in Cronje’s laager and elsewhere, I can give your excellency assurance that such bullets were not purchased or allowed by the government. I, however, see no rea- son to doubt your statements, as I know many of the burghers of this state and of the South African republic took a large number of Lee-Metford rifles and dumdum and other bullets from British troops. “May I request your excellency, as the cable is closed to me, to make my reply known to your government and the neutral powers by cable. “STATE PRESIDENT.” The dispatch from Lord Roberts con- cludes as follows: “As the inquiry into that matter proves his honor’s allegations to be unfounded, and as I personally saw the holding up of hands, which he dentes, I have not thought it desirable to continue the correspond- ence.” Winston Churchill, in a dispatch. from Pietermaritzburg, warmly resists the con- teniion that the relief of Ladysmith rose out of Lord Roberts’ operations. “On the contrary,” he says, “the opera- tions of Lord Roberts were assisted by the fact that Gen. Buller kept 16,000 Boers oc- cupied. It would be a cruel and unworthy thing to deprive the Natal army of their hard won laurels and none would more sigorously repudiate such a suggestion Lord Roberts himself.” Spenser Wilkinson, writing in the Morn- ing Post, justifies Winston Churchill's ar- gument respecting the relief of Ladysmith. He thinks that Sir Alfred Milner has gone to Bloemfotein to arrange for the per- manent administration of the province and perhaps to decide about the captured and surrendered rebels. There is no further information as to the movements of Sir Alfred Milner. It is re- garded as certain, however, that he has gone to Bloemfontein to arrange for the temporary administration of the Free State. The reply as to Lord Roberts’ use of the flags of truce is commented upon as im- pertinent and ridiculous, and Lord Rob- erts’ course In closing a useless discussion is commended as wise. . Indications from Natal seem to show that Gen. Buller’s forward movement will not be long delayed. ‘The government has decided that Major Gen. Sir Frederick Carringfon shall com- mand a colonial force of 5,000, including the 2,500 men Mr. Chamberlain asked from Australia. ee SHARKEY DID NOT APPEAR. Se Fitzsimmons Declared the Propos- ed Match of. Bob Fitzsimmons appeared at the Delevan House, New York, yesterday afternoon with his $5,000, as agreed on. After waiting halt an hour and Sharkey not appearing, Fitzsim- mons said he declared the’ fight with Shar- key off. Martin Julian, representing the Tuckahoe Club, was present, with a certi- fled check for $5,000, offering 67 per cent of the gross receipts for the fight. O'Rourke, representing the Seaside Club, was also present with a check for $5,000, and with an offer of 60 per cent. Fitzsimmons said to Julian that he would a the offer of Julian, and fight any man Julian would se- lect. Jullan said he was agreeable, but asked Fitzsimnions to name his man. Fitz- simmons named “Kid McCoy. Peter Gosipatiy Ba pugilist, has sailed for Sydney, where intends to open a boxing CHANGES IN OHIO POLITICS Former Factional Alignments Resrranging ! Under New Conditions, Charlies L. Ku: s Friends Now Work- ing in Harmony With Senator Hanna's Lieutenants. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 20, 1900. Political conditions change rapidly in Ohfo, but the changes that are now being made in the lines of the factions of the re- publican party here are startling even to the politicians themselves. The election of Senator Hanna after the hard fight given him by Charles L. Kurtz and his organiza- tion of anti-Hanna republicans was fol- lowed quickly by large defections from the ranks of the followers of Kurtz, and it was clear then that no considerable opposition to Senator Hanna could be again rallied about Kurtz. Harry M. Daugherty, placing himself at the head of a faction opposed to Senator Hanna, but with an entirely differ- ent personnel, became the recognized leader of the anti-Hannaites of the state. Contrary to expectations, no combination of the old disorganized forces of Kurtz and the faction at whese head Daugherty placed himself could’ be made. This was the weakness of the opposition to Nash for governor last fall. ‘There seemed ta be so many things in the campaign that operated against the republieans that it Seemed likely that if any general co-operation of the old Kurtz faction with the Daugherty republicans, disgusted at the defeat of their leader for the nomination for governor, could be secured, the démocrats would stand a good chance of electing John R. McLean. Renson for McLean’s Poor Vote. The poor showing McLean made in the election returns was due to the fact that the Kurtz and Daugherty factions mixed like ofl and water, and the Kurtz republi- cans supported the regular republican tick- et more Joyally than the Daugherty faction did. The Kurtz faction republicans prefer to see their old enemies—the Hanna repub- licans, win rather than add to the strength of Daugherty’s faction. Just now John R. Malloy, well known as Senator Hanna’s lieutenant here, s working hand in hand with Charles L. Kurtz, to secure the nom- ination for secretary of state—the most im- portant office to be filled this year, for L. C. Laylin of Norwalk, the candidate of Se: ator Hanna and favored by President. Mc- Kinley, and opposing Howard Mannington, Who Is the candidate of the Daugherty rac- tion. Two years ago when the senatorial fight ended in Senator Hanna's favor Harry 4 Daugherty. then chairman of the state com: mittee, and the most ardent fighter for Sen- ator Hanna in the state, declared in a speech at a jollification of administration republicans, that he would at once call his state central committee together for the purpose of demanding the resignation of Charles L. Kurtz from the national com- mittee as the representative of the repub- licans of Ohio. That was never done and today such a proposition would not be en- couraged by Senator Hanna, in whose inter- est it was then proposed. Result of the New Combination. The combination of the Hanna and Kurtz factions in this canvass puts a new phase upon the question of the treatment of the appointees of Governor Bushnell whom Goy- ernor Nash finds in office. A large num- ber of recess appointments made by Go: ernor Bushnell were sent to the Senate dur- ing the last week of Governor Bushnell's term, and were sent to committees, where they have been lying ever since. It was generally agreed that most of these, all of the outspoken’ members of the Kurtz- Bushnell faction, shouldbe rejected, and administration _republicaus _. substituted, This cannot be done now, because the leg- islature will adjourn about the middle of April, before the state convention meets, and the administration—determined to nom- inate Laylin for the head of the ticket, and depending In a large measure upon the sup- port of Kurtz and Bushnell to accomplish it, will not dare to break falth with Kurtz and Bushnell by turning their friends and appointees down. It-is quite likely that Kurtz and Bushnell were induced to make this peculiar combination with this result in view. Though most of the county delegations to the state convention that have now been chosen have been instructed for Manning- ton, it is the general opinion among well- posted and unbiased politicians here that Laylin will be the nominee for secretary of state.. The state convention will be held on Apr@ 24 and25. The democrats have not yet called their state convention." '~ ee ee ts £0 AVOM DELAy. Gen. ‘Davin Allowed to Buy fn the - Open Market -in. Porte Rico.’ Gen. Davis has been granted permission by Acting Secretary Meiklejohn to make purchases in the open market in Porto Rico. This fs done on the recommendation of the governor general and in order to avoid the delay which would be occasioned by a strict conformity with the regulations requiring advertisements for proposals for government supplies, except in cases of emergencies. The present case is consid- ered an emergency within the meaning of the regulations. The purchase of supplies in the open mar- ket will serve a double purpose. It will give the suffering Porto Ricans relief sup- plies without delay and at the same time will add considerably to the monetary cir- culation of the island. Gen. Davis has also obtained authority to employ about 25,000 natives on govern- ment work as a further means of aiding in the alleviation of the prevailing distress due to poverty. The Burnside, which is to sail from New York today for San Juan, Porto Rico, will carry about 500 tons of food sup- plies for the relief of the Porto Ricans, and similar shipments will be made by the sub- petence department weekly until further orders. ed To Increase Pay One-Fourth. Mr. Van Voorhis has introduced a bill in the House (H. R. 9669) providing that all male employes of the government printing office receive a uniform increase in their wages of 25 per cent; Provided, That in no case shall the amount so increased ex- ceed that of $4 per diem. The public print- er is authorized to pay the increase out of any money in the public treasury not other- wise appropriated, and the act shall go into effect from and after its passage. —— 0 +___— Electric Cars at Valdivos tock.

Inventors in German factories have a hard time to profit by thelr brain work, aoc- cording to @ report to the State Depart- ment by Consul General Guenther at Frankfort. He cites the case of a foreman who invented a substance used in finishing velvet. Because he imparted his invention to persons outside of the firm of which he worked the foreman was tried and convict- ed of revealing trade secrets, although this secret was his own. The German court, however, took the novel ground that it was the duty of the foreman to make experi- ments; that his inventions belonged to his pebloyace Sn that he had no right to ex- pose z Drivers, some SPEEDY Pacers.
