Madrid, Feb, 4.—The cabinet bas finally agreed upon a scheme for Cu- ban reforms, which will besubmitted to the Queen Regent for signature today. The text will probably be gazetted Saturday. The council of state will examine the program for reforms after publication. The date upon which the reforms will be car- ried into effect will depend upon the Progress of the military operations in Cuba THEIK OWN WAY A Band of 300 Insurgants have it with the Spaniards A special dispatch to the Globe- Demoerat trom Key West says: One of Col. Hernandez’s detached bands met 300 men of the Havana volun- teers Sunday, ten miles from Ha and defeated them badly, the volun- teers fifty men and many of their arms. The Spaniards were sent after Hernandez’s flying co umos,and thought they had him eo nered. Instead of that the Cubao forces were larger than they thought They fired on the Cubaus first seen and (bese retreated, the volunteers following in bot haste and in som disorder.

His wasted | p, from which it seemed that) spark of jife had flown, was arely able to hold itself together, but the witnesses voice had a deep, sepuichral ring that contrasted in strength with his form. Smith's evidence was highly im- portant, because withcut it the case would likely have been dismissed, a it was his money charged to have en stolen. As soon as Judge Campbell saw h he was on the alert, probably liziag that his evidence would con- vict his client, and after a hasty con- sultation with his client he announced “We wave examination.’ ‘This was so unexpected that the prosecuting atiorneys were for a mo- Towards] ment disconcerted, and _ after recov- ering their equanimity Major Harris moved that Jim Smith’s testimony be heard, on # couut of his condition. Jadge Cagpbul strenuously ob- jected, claiming that he had already waived examination, and the court had no legal right to hear the evidence, Judge Sanders decided to hear the eviden:e, however, and at this janc- ture Judge Campbell put on bis hat ud exclaimed, ‘I'll have nothing more to do with this case.’” He walked out but presently came back and conferred with his client, and as he again left the court room said ‘* We'll hear more about this in the cireuit eourt.’”” The eyidence of Jim Smith was heard and Judge Sanders held the father over for grand jury action, fixing his bond at &: ‘The pros- vcuting witness will probably be dead before circuit court convenes, and then there will be an interesiing fight n whether his evidence in the lower court may be admitted or not.

Mle ts in Jail and A» Safe Ie Were Not Even Sus she Sm No As if pected. The wild and wooly report in the ‘Register’ this morning about the sentiment towards Noah Frank!in in Marshall county is ‘a fair sample of its vaunted ‘journalism. It claims that Franklin is me by mob violence, when really there no more excivement over his arrest and imprisonment there than there is here. There has never been even the slightest suspicion that be would be summurily dealt with. He has been snspected from the first of Daisy Sullivan's murder,and a great many will always believe that he committed the deed, whether he is proven guilty or not. County Attorney Lovett made a blooming idiot of himself, in the opinion of many, when he objected to the defendant waiving examination yesterday. When examination is waived it is imperative on the court to hold the defendant to answer, and it is for the purpose of holding the defendant, an examining trial is held. His objection was ridiculously absurd © Jobn O'Callaghan is the name of the man who has been selling Dore’s art works in Paducah to some of the jost prominent people. He was ar- igued in tho police court this rning on a charge of drunkenness, and as he rubbed head, Judge Sanders’ query as to his guilt sounded sadly ironical.
