ESTABLISHED JUNE 19, 1871 THEY DID NOT SAIL T0 CUBA Members of a Filibustering Party Arrested a8 Thoy Were Ready to Leave. TWENTY MEN JAILED AT WILMINGTON Detectives Hnve Been Working on the Cawse for Severnl Months but Awaited Developme Be- fore Taking Action. ‘WILMINGTON, Del,, Aug. 30.—Twenty men were brought in today from' Penns Grove, N. J., and lodged in jail, charged with vio'ating the neutrality laws in having organ'zed a hos- tile expelition to Cuba. They are still he'e in custody of the United States authorities and will be given a hearing tomorr.w. The men are from Philadelphia and New York. They wero arrestel under orders from the Treasury department. It has been suspected for several months that a Cuban filibustering party was at work in thig city. Tonight it is learned that they have had quarters at 717 Market street, and that at least one expedition to Cuba has been dispatchied from this city. On Mon'lay the, United States authorities here we'e notfied by Detective Gaylord of the Pinkerton agency in Philadelphia that another expedition was about to take its depirture. Deicc ive Gay- Jord and several of his associates came the next day. United States Deputy Marshal Hewson Lannon and several ass'stants, to- gether with the police authorities, have be = keeping a cloze watch ever since. Tiey nce ticed a number of suspicious characters loiter- ing about a cigar store in the neighborhood of the headquarters and discovered that one of these had gone to the office of the Charles Warner company yesterday and chartered the tug Taurus to cerry freight to Penns Grove. They shatowed the tug until she left her whart in this city at midnight last night. It was known beforehand by the authorities th:t the aileged filibustering party was to wait at Penns Grove for a scamer to come frem Philadelphia to take th:m to Cuba. The name of this steamer is not known, but it wis learned that she was not expez'ed fo arrive at Penns Grove until tonight. The pur- euing party therefore permitted the men they were watching to load their freight and em- bark their passengers without mcle ia‘ion and saw them sall in the dircction of Peins Grove, where some cf the detectives hal been sent to await develcpments. At b o'clock this evening Marshal Lannon, h several assistants, Detective Gaylord ard two of his associates, and a squad of police under Captsin, Kain, boarded the tug Media and salled to Penns Grove. There they found the party who had chartered the Taurus lounging about the rallroad station and put them under arrest When they overhau'ed the freicht hull of the Taurus they fopnd that it con sted of twenty-seven cases of arm large quantity of ammunition, provisions, elothing ete. All of this was seized and the pariy returned to Wilmington. None of the prison- ers have been permitted to mike any s'ate ment, and 1t is not thought that they will be until they are arraigned in court An expelit'on very similar to the cne which cime to grief today put to sea in the tug Berth about three weeks ago, and it is under- od that its members were safely landed in ba. NEW YORK, Aug. 30.—Information was ceived today at the headquarters of the uban junta chat another expedition had been landed in Cuba. Details as ree'ved by Tomaso Estrada Palma were that seventy- one men, under the leadership of Francisco Sanchez Hechaverrla, brother of Don Urbano Sanehez Hechaverria, had landed on the east coast of Cuba, armed with guns, ammuni- tion and supplies. It is said the expedition started outside the jurlsdiction of the United States. ADVOCATE in the HOMF FOR CUBA, Autonomists Ag a Proposal of Mer ce. HAVANA, Aug. 30.—At a reunion last night of the leaders of the autonomist party an agreement was entered into providing for an active propaganda In the interest of the pirty. An effort will be male to bring to the at tention of the Spanish government the ne-es- sity for the establishment of the principle of home rule, thus, it Is hoped, sitisfying the liberal clements and putting an end to the struggle with the insurgents. By this means it {8 thought that the insurgents who, acting in good faith, have taken up arms agiinst ;n. government, may be induced to surren- er. Captain Tefa, at the head of thirty-three eavalrymen and 110 foot soldiers, recently surprised the band of Jose Veitla at his camp at Las Posar, province of fanta Cl The insurgents were quickly dispersed, leaving four dead on the field. Qovernment officials here have just re celved reports of the murder under the most revolting circumstances of two peaceful coun- trymen near Camajuanl. It Is claimed that these murders were committed by members of the bind of Plateados, and that the men killed had not token any part In the con- flcts. Reports were recelved here to the effect that the insurgents have burned the village of Cuatro Caminos, province of Santa Clara. In Cefa de Tana, province of Puerto Prin- elpe, according to advices just recelved by Marshal de Campos, the Insurgents lately at- tacked a column of Spanish soldiers who were protecting a train of wagons employed o transportation of ammunition. The Insur- ents were defeated, two of them being left fdead on the field, while two were made prison- The capiured Insurgents say that as thetr comrades retired from the field they ear- ried away with them two of their dead and four wounded. Offcial advices have been received here to the effect that 200 fnsurgents attacked Lieu- tenant Cabanollas, who was at the head of & scouting party numbering fifty, near the Alta Gracla railroad. The troops were ex- pecting an attack, and although two of thelr number were killed at tho first firing, they formed in a hollow square and repulsed sev- eral times the cavalry of the insurgents, The attacking party divided Into several com- panies and continued the assault on all sides, Though reinforced, the insurgents were com- pelled to retire with many of their dead and Wounded. Of the troops besides the two Kkilled four or five were wounded. A report has been recaived by govern: offiolals to the effect that a column of Ge Rulz has completely routed and dispersed the insurgents near Guayamaro. The in- Surgents left forty dead and these, according %o the reports, wore burled by the troops. After the action at Ubalta Gracia the troops went in pursuit of the insurgents and found soven of them doad. Of the insurgents who were killed In today's Aght near Guimaro one was Sccond Lieutenant Jorge Castillo, #on of General Angel Castillo, who was killed in the Inst Cuban revolution while attacking Fort Lazarone, near Lopez, province of Puerto Principe.

German-Americans Recelved by the Iron Chancellor, HAMBURG, Aug. 30.—The German-Ameri- can veterans who are making a tour of this country prior to thelr departure for Fried- richsruhe today placed a ldurel wreath upon the war monument erected to the memory of the soldiers from Hamburg who ‘fell in the battles of 1870-71. This wreath was orna- mented with white satin ribbon, upon which was Inscribed an expression of the love and veneration of the old soldiers of Germany, now in America, who fought in the Franco- Prussian war, The German American veterans &topped for a few minutes on arriving In front of Prince Bismarck’s chateau at Friedrichsruh, The chief forester appeared at the gate shortly afterwards, and invited four of those in attendance to enter. Prince Bismarck, who appeared to be in excellent health, walked firmly forward to meet them, wel- coming them cordially, saying that he was not able to express the joy he felt at the thought that they had come such a great distance to see him. He had frequently haa the opportunity of welcoming Germans from America, but today he felt especially glad to be able to greet so many of his former comrades in arms from the other side of the water, He then invited the four members of the committee to luncheon. As they gathered round the table In the dining hall all the members of the family of Prince Bismarck were present. The conversation is sald by the members of the committee to have been most interesting, Prince Bismarck narrating many Incidents of the war of 187071, A letter was handed him from a_lady in Utah, expressing the regret that her hus. band felt at his inability to visit Germany, and saying that all the Germans in_Utah would be glad to send greeting to Prince Bismarck. The prince then drank to the health of the Germans in Am of the Germans in Utah, mentioning especially the German- Americans of Chicago and adding as he spoke about Chicago: “If you like your mayor, 1 will also drink to his health.” One of the visitors happened to remark that the name of Bismarck had frequently been given to American tow 16 and that 1t was often men- tioned in the United States Prince Bismarck replied, smilingly: “But that is no fault cf mine."” Luncheon over the prince asked all German- Americans to visit the p which forms part of his estates at Friedrichsruh. After a visit to this park the members of the delegation took up a position in front of the gate. The prince walked up and down the paths several tim 1 greeted all the mem- bers of the delegation. He conversed with many in reference to the part that they had taken during the war with France, making many inquiries of a personal nature, showing the interest taken in the German-American veterans, At the conclusion Comrade Schlenker called upon_those present to give a ringing cheer for Prince Bismarck. As all stood with heads bared Prince Bismarck asked them to replace their hats on their heads, for a slight rain was falling and he feared they might feel the ill-effects of it. The deputation then wheeled to the right with a soldierly precision which seemed to please the prince, and, cheer- ing continuously, the German-Americans marched away. The prince and the members of his family watched the veterans as they moved off toward the station. All German-Americans were delighted with Bismarck's hearty ap- pearance and the affable manner in which he had recelved them. When the delegates reached the station the prince emerged from one of the gates to his estates, saluted the townspeople and farmers who had gath- ered near, and, pointing to the veterans, said: “Those people have made a very long journey and their greetings have caused me much doy." BUSINESS STOPPED IN SAMOA. Outbreak Retween Rival Natives May Occur at Any Time. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30.—The steamsip Monowal arrived today from Australia, bring. ing the following advices from Apia, Samca, under date August 13: There have been sev- eral petty quarrels between the rival parties of Samoans and no one would be surpri-ed at a serious outbre-k.

LONDON, Aug. 30.—During the session of Parliament last night there was continuous obstruction by the Irish members, recalling the old times of Parnell's leadership of the party. The obstruction was led by Timothy Healy and Dr. Tanner, who was suspended from the house for two weeks for deflance of the rules, The tactics were applied to all business, including the Canadian speaker bill, which was obstructed on the pretext that it was not a printed bill which had been read a second time juurhe house adjourned at § o'clock this morn- ng.

LONDON, Aug. 30.—In the House of Com- mons today on the vote on the appropriation for colonial services, Mr. Joseph Chamber- lai retary of state for the colonies, re- plying to Sir Charles Dilke, said he had failed to find any argument which would justify ihe government in giving the colony of New. foundland £60,000 sterling. He did not think the condition of affairs in this colony, after the faflure of the banks, was such as to justify this assistance. ~ The distress, he added, no doubt arose from bad administra- tion of affairs of the colony, Dispute Honorably Settled. LIMA, Peru (Via Galveston), Aug. 30.— The ceremonles attendant upon the opening of congress took place today. Semor Candamo read the junta's message.

The re- ports are dated August 23. The district at- torney for Wyoming reports as follows: “I have no doubt whatever that the killing of the Indian Tanega on or about the 13th of July was an atrocious, outrageous and cold- blooded murder; and it was a murder perpe- trated on the part of Constabla Manuing and his deputies in pursuance of a scheme and | conspiracy on their part to prevent the In- dians from exercising a right and privilege which is, in my opinion, very clearly guar- anteed to them by the treaty before men- tioned, “Should the prosecution on the part of the United States be determined upon it would be useless to commence it before a_commis- sloner. As the law is now we are bound to bring prisoners before the United States com- missioner nearest to the place of arrest, and in this case it would be before Mr. Petti- grew, the commissioner at Marysvale. 1 am informed that he is thoroughly in sympathy with the so-called settlers in that region and that he advised Constable Manning and his posse that the pro of the treaty under which the Indians claimed the right to hunt upon the unoccupled lands of the United States here, for some reason ceased to be operative. Hence, I think that to cause the arrest of these men, and take them for hearing before this commissioner would simply result in their discharge “It seems to me to be a great pity that there is no national law which can certainly be Invoked for the protection of these, our domestic subjects, weak and defenseless .m( they are, in their right to enjoy thise priv- ileges guaranteed to them by a solemn treaty to the enforccment of which the honor of country is pledged; and that their only pro- tection against forcible resistance to their enjoyment of these rights must be found in the courts of the state wherein the jurles wiil unquestionably look upon_ them as poss: ing no rights which a white man is bouad to respect.’” The district attorney has besn advised that the department concurs with him In the op'nion that there is no federal statute under which the offenders can be punished. ARRAIGNS THE SETTLERS. Accompanying the report of the district at- torney, a scathing arraignment of the Jack- son's Hole settlers is made in a report of the United States deputy marshal who investi- gated the trouble. The deputy marshal’s re- port says that a careful investigation of the whole affair shows that the reports made by settlers charging the Indians with wholesale aughter of game from wantonness or to se- cure the hides from the animals Killed have been very much exaggerated. ‘“During my stay in Jackson's Hole,” he says, “I visited many portions of the district, and saw no evi- dences of such slaughter. Lieutenants Gard- ner, Parker and Jackson of the Ninth United States cavalry, who conducted scouting parties of troops through all portions of Jackson's Hole, also found this to be the case. On August 12 I visited a camp of Bannock Indians who had been on a hunting trip in Jackson's Hole. The women of the party were preparing the meat of seven or eight elk for winter use, and every part of the animals, even to the brains, entrails and sinews, was being utilized, either for food supply or possible source of profit. In con- nection with the troubles between the Indians and the whites, I spent some time inquiring into the causes for the unconcealed hostility of the Jackson's Hole people against the Indians. There was little or no complaint among the settlers of offensive manners on the part of the Indians. Except in rare in- ances they have kept away from the houses ettlers and have not been in the habit of begging. In no instance has there ever been a well authenticated case where a settler has been molested by an Indian, “The Kill'ng of game by Indians and by the increasing number of tou:ist ! unters thea ens to so deplete the region of big game, deer, ek, moose, etc., as to jeopard'ze the occupa- tion of the professional guiles at Jack:on's Hole. It was decided at the close of last sea- son to keep the Indians out of the region this year and the events of this summer are the ! Tesults of carefully prepared plans. This was admitted by United States C mmiss'oner Pettigrew at Marysvale, and C:nstable Man- ning said: ‘We knew very well when we started in on this thing that we would bring matters to a heid. Some one was going to | be killed, perhaps some on both sides, and | we decided the sooner it was dine the bet ter, so that we could get the matier before the courts.’ " WANTED AN EXCUSE TO KILL. Continuing, the deputy marshal says: “If a full investigation of the Jackson's Hole af- fair should be held the fact would be estsb- lished that when Constable Mann'ng and his posse of twenty-six settlers arrested a rarty of dndians on July 13 and start-d with them for Marysvale he and his men d'd all they could to tempt the Indlans to try to escape in order that there might be a basis of justi- fication for kill'ng some of them, “If the truth of the ma'ter can be reached of it will be found that the captois did not cire particularly abgut getting thelr prisoners safely to Marysvale, where the same formality | of fining them and then having to let them escape would result, but on the contrary, tempted the Indians to try to escape, first by making them believe they were to be sent to jail or hung, and then by lcad'ng them to belleve if they tried to escape, their horses ouly, and not they, woull be shot. “From Mr. Manning I learned that none of the horses of the escaping party of Indians were shot, notwithstanding his order to shoot the horses, but that at least six Indians were bit by bullets. Of these, Timega, an old man, was killed; Nimits, a boy of about 20, was wounded 0 that he could not escape, and the others got away. Timega was an old man al- most blind, and his gun was useless. When the body of this old, sick, blind man was found, after lying unburied in the woods for about twenty days, it was found he had been shot four times In the back. The boy, who was wounded, was shot through the body and arm. He was left on the ground where the shooting occurred, and remained thers on some dried meat, for ten dayt He crawled for three nights to reach a ranch of a man friendly to Indians, and was seventeen days without medical attendance. The whole affair was, I believe, a premeditated and pre- arranged plan to kill some Indians and thus stir up sufficient trouble to subsequently get United States trcops Into the region and ultimately have the Indlans shut out from Jackson's Hole. The plan was successfully carried out and the desired results obtained It would, however, be but an act of simple justice to bring the men who murdered the Indian, Timega, to trial. There is, however, no official in Jackson's Hele county, state or national, who would hold any of Manning's posse for trial. Either the anti-Indian pro- clivities of these officlals or the fear of op posing the dominating sentiment of the com- munity on this question would lead them to discharge all of these men should they be brought before them for a hearing.” The name of the district attorney s Gibson Clarke, but for prudential -reasons the name of the deputy marshal is not given at the Department of Justice.

SCO, Aug. 30.—The steamer Monowal, which arrived tonight from Austra- lia points, did not stop at Honolulu as usual, When off that port the steamer was hailed by the American consul in & smail boat, who announced that cholera had broken out in Honolulu. Among the natives and Chinese the cholera broke out soon after the steamer Belgic left on her last trip and it Is presumed the disense was brought by that vessel. The Monowal did not enter Honolulu harbor, but steamed direct to San Francisco, Her pas- sengers for Hawaii were brought here. There had been elght deaths from the dis- ease among the natives and Chinese. The Belgic arrived here August 27 from | Honolulu. There was kickness on board and | after examination by quarantine officers her passengers were discharged and the cargo unloaded. The Belgic 1s now on her return trip to Japan and China ports, The Belgie carried a large number of pas- sengers in the steerage, but most of them were landed in Honolulu, It was among the Honolulu passengers that the sickness broke out. According to the story, as shouted from a small boat to the people on the Monowal, three Chinese stecrage passengers bound for Hawail died at sea. The doctor said that one died from heart disease and the other two from pneumonia. No mention of deaths at sea was made by the steamship officers when she arrived here, and it seems strange that th:y neglected to mention the fact that there had be and death on board. The Belgic brought to San Francisco six white steerage sengers, sixteen Japanese and forty-five Chinese, 'Eighteen of the Chinese were fn transit and have aiready proceeded east or to Mexico, The Belgic brought a cargo of silk, which has already been shipped east. There fs no danger that cholera germs may be in the cargo, but thers is some alarm felt here as to the spread of cholera by the passengers who landed here The sickness on board the Belgic was con- fined to the party that was bound for Hono- lulu, but as the other steerage passengers assoclated with them on the voyage it is feared that they may spread the disease.

Mrs. D. M. Haverly, with whom he has made his home during the past two years, was prostrated by the news of his rash at- tempt to end his life, and to a reporter for The Bee she said: “Mr. Allen has made his home with me for two years and has always been of a happy disposition, and very proud of the reputation of his daughter Mamie as -a violinist. After the family moved east he increased his labors and worked very hard, golng to the residences of his pupils and re- ceiving a number here for instruction. He was an indefatigable worker and I have often spoken to him about his labors Leing too arduous and that he would fail in health it he continued to work night and day. Besides his regular pupils he was organist of Hanscom Fark Methodis: Eplscopal church and drilled the choir of forty voices. Only yes- terday a number of his pupils called ‘and made inquiries as to when he would re- turn, “Two months ago today he left for the east In the best of spirits and said he would enjoy the rest so much.

RE A Mamie, order, TOO NOISY FOR H HAMBURG, Nothing in STS WITH CONSUL State Department Can D the Case of H. M. Romberg, WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.—The State de- partment is entirely without information as to the reported arrest in Germany of H. M. Romberg of Decatur, Ind, Acting Secretary Adee sald today that the proceedings in a case like Romberg's usually consume from three to six weeks. It is not doubted that Consul Henry Robertson at Hamburg would act promptly for the protection of the rights of any American citizen. It is questionable whether if the facts are as represented from Indiana the case is one in which the United States government can ipterfere to any greater extent than make Inquiries to assure itself that the proceedings against Mr, Rom- berg have been within the lines of our treaty with Germany. This treaty explicitly provides that natives of Germany shall not be ab- solved from crimes committed in that coun- try by becoming naturalized Americans. i Bissell v MARION, Mass., Aug. 30.

BOSTON, Aug. 30.—The twenty-sixth tri- ennial conclave of the Knights Templar is a thing of the past.

Probably 5,000 sir knights will remain in this city for some time for business and pleasure, The grand encampment_devoted almost the entire day’s session to the discussion of constitu- tional revision, It was decided to make Washington the headquarters of the Knights Templar after 1898, If no finvitation is re- celved from another place the triennial con- clave after that year will be held in that city.

DENVER, Aug. 30.—The disaster in the mines near Central City is the leading subject of talk here. The calamity has not been un- expected. For three years past a dispute be- tween the owners of the several mines in the group has been agitating the question of drainage. The Gregory, Bob Tall, Fiske Americus and Sleepy Hollow have been par- to the dispute and the three properties named have been closed down in their evels and allowed to stand partially filled with water because of this misunder standing over pro-rating the expense of drainage between the soveral owners. The workings of the mines are so situated that the Gregory, Bob Tail and the Fiske have been forced to combat a strong flow of water, the pumping of whichy by them left the Sleepy Hollow and Americuf practically dry. When the Fiske owners failed to arrange satisfactorily with their neighbors to meet a share of the pumping expenses, they allowed the waters rise in the lower works, and this large reservoir stood above the workings of the adjoining mines, a constant menace to those working beneath. The Sleepy Hollow, Americus and Fiske are on the same vein of ore. The first two are connected by drifts at the '™ foot level; the Americus and Riske age separated by a wall of ore standing in the vein at the joint end lines. So much greater Is the system of underground work- ings in the Fiske than those of its end line neighbors that the rush of water from the three levels above the point of the break was quite sufficient to fill the entire workings of the two. The Americus filled first below the 400 foot level and it was no appreciable time before water was pouring from it into the Sleepy Hollow through the air tunnel connec- tion on the level where the break occurred. The Sleepy Hollow has a system of in- surance by which the men are assessed 3 per cent of their wages and on death their relatives receive half pay for six months, to- gether with funeral expenses pald by the company. — - WILL CONTROL THE SALE OF GLASS, Window nkers Organize a Selling Agency for the Western Output, MUNCIE, Ind., Aug. 30.—Representatives of thirty-one window glass manufacturers of Indiana met in the office of the Randolph selling agency In this city and organized what will be known as the T.
