Madrid, Sept. 23.—Gen. Augusti, former captain-general of the Philippine islands, has arrived at Victoria, capital of the Spanish prov- ince of Alava, about thirty south of Bi » Avis said that he looks ill and is reticent concerning the recent happenings at Manila, ‘The general, however, admitted that he contemplated surrendering before the capitulation actually took place. He aleo praised the army eloquently, and expressed the hope that the supreme court would pass judgment on his conduct. Senior Montero Rios, president o7 the senate and president of the Spanish peace commission, in an in- terview published recently is quoted as saying: “It is a painful spectacle to see politicians on all sicles trying to throw on each other the blame for disasters the responsibility for which rested on all parties. I, personally, have al- ways favered autonomy for Cuba, Spain being unable to forcibly main. tain her sovereignty at such a great distance. “It is useless to speak of our dis- asters. Has not the country all our governments of exbi much weakness toward the United States? What Spain wanted was a man ready to sacrifice himself and who ized the impossibility of war with & powerful nation, especially after years of useless conflict with insurgents.’’ MAN WITH NUMEROUS WIVES.

EXCITEMENT RUNNING HIGH In Ohio County Over the Ter- rible Outrage Perpetrated on Mrs, Jones—Trial Tomorrow. The Crime Was Committed Some Weeks Ago, But Has Just Come to Light—Victim Has Been in 4 Serious Condition Since, Beaver Dam, Ky., Sept. 23.—It is rumored that a mob is being formed bere to lynch the alleged as~ sailants of Mrs. Jones, who wasa bride of only an hour when assaulted. Fourteen arre: have been made but they have sil been released on bonds of $250 each. This bond is considered rediculously low. Their trial begins tomorrow, Excitement is running bigh and the men are very liable to be lynebed. The strange feature of the case is the fact that the assault was com- mitted some weeks ago, but has only just leaked out. The victim bas been in a precarious condition ever since. Both she and her husband are simple minded persons who prob- ably do not realize the enormity of the outrage that was perpetrated. The woman's father is now getting up the evidence and the rattians wil be prosecuted with vigor. DICTATORSHIP. Such May Be the Outcome of the Troubles in France, The Conflict Between the Civil and Military Authorities in Paris Becoming Very Acute. Paris, Sept. —The situation here is generally admitted to be grave by both press and people. The con- flict between the civil and military authorities is becoming acute. The sudden and unexpected action of Gen, Zurlinden, the military govern- or of Paris, in prosecuting Col. Pic- quart on the charge of forgery and using forged documents, assumes a grave aspect on account of the cir- cumstances attending this interven- tion of the military authorities in a civil court. At the present moment, waen the political atmosphere is surcharged with dangerous electricity, generated by the Dreyfus affair, the general, who bas just quitted the cabinet, in detiancs of civil authority,takes with~ out consulting his successor or the premier, an important step. in ordinary circumstances the nilitary governor is empowered to t independently, but now that the Dreyfus question has become a great national matter every proceeding in the affair has state importanc Gen, Zarlind ignoring of thie obvious fact is very significant. He comes forward as the defender of the army, the prosecuter of its supposed culminators, and the reso- lute opponent of a revision of the ease. From this to an appeal to the public in the line of establishment of a dictatorship, there is no wide step, ‘The Soleil says that owing to yes- terday’s events the Cabinet, at an in- formal conference, discussed Gen. Zurlinden’s action, and the Fronde even asserts that the Premier, M, Brissoa, disavows the measures taken against Picquart, which he says were instituted without the knowledge of the Cabinet. The Radical makes a bitter attack on the general staff, which it charges with aimiog at the moral assassi! tion of Picquart through a secret mil- in bis paper, the Intransigean, clares that Picquart was bribed by a syndicate or by Germany to save Dreyfus.

Custer to wait 20 minutes before at- tacking, and thus escaped the terrible fate of all his comrades.

CHINA’S EMPEROR Gets Deposed From His Exalted Position by the Old Dow- ager Empress, Who Will Run the Government to Suit Herself—Li Hung Chang Her Favorite, Pekin, Sept. 23.—The greatest sensation was caused yesterday by the Emperor of China being deposed. It was first reported be had been murdered, ‘The emperor had been subservient to his mother, the dowager empress, | who allowed him peace as long as he did not interfere. As soon as he attempted to act on his own initiative she acted so he resigned. His prin-} cipal advisor, Kang Yumoi, fled to Shanghai in spite of efforts to arrest him. Li Hung Chang will now be reinstated. The suddenness of the coup was due to the desire of the empress to preveat Marquis Ito from forming an alliance between Japan and China. The new order prejudices British in- terests in China. There is a current report that the next edict will give reasons for the change. The wording of the present edict is not yet obtainable. At the emperor’s request the dow- ager empress will assume power, this being the third time he has made this request. Marquis Ite, in an interview before the edict was issued, said the em- peror received him last Wednesday in a most cordial manner, and said he hoped to have the advantage of advice from the marquis in the re- forms which his majesty intended, The marquis feared the inaction and conservatism of Chinese officials would nullify the reforms, although he belieyed ‘the emperor was acting in good faith A BOLD BANK ROBBERY.

GUARDS FIRED THEIR GUNS, Buc the Marauders Were Not struck by the Shots—Effort to Hreak the Benton Jul Last Night. Great | xcitement at Beaton—Ef- fort to Liberate Prisoners—The Guards Fired Four Shots, But None Took Effect. There was great excitement at Benton night about 1 o'clock. The guards who have been kept about the jail for several nights past de- tected several men trying to break into the jail and liberate the prison- ers, and fired four shots at them, but without effect. The marauders slunk off in the darkness and nothing further was heard of them. For several days and nights past the citizens have been in a svate of considerable apprehension, and many were not surprised at the develop- ments of last night. The first inti- mation received of any intention to break jail was several days ago, when a number of crowbars and oth- er tools were found in the jail yard. It was then thought that an effort would be made to jiberate Noah Franklin, and a guard was placed about the jail, but for several nights nothing further was heard. A night or two ago a pistol was found in the jail, and the guard was increased. Last might the first at- tempt was made to release the pris- oners, and it was unsuccessful. There are a great many theories Telative to the object of the attempts. A great many people think that there is a concerted effort on the part of friends of various men io jail, to lib erate them, and that there will be further trouble. It is not thought that Noah Franklin’s friends are the sole cause of recent transactions, if they have anything at all to do with it, Among the prisoners are a num- ber ef men who bave many friends in the county, and if there should be 8 wholesale jail delivery a great many people would not be surprised.
