Residents of French Guiana May Soon Avenge Themselves Upon the Uncrowned King. [Special Correspondence of The United Press.] GEORGE DEevERARA, B. G., Nov. 19.—Latest advices from the contested ter- | ritory between Brazil and French Guiana report that Vega Cabral, the uncrowned king and autocratic ruler of Counani, Car- sevenne and Mapa, continues hisopen hos- tility toward all French subjects and has | now a number of them in captivity. It is | now announced that Evariste, who piloted | the French gunboat Bengoli to Amapa, | and who, it was reported, has been burned at the stake at the order of Cabral, did not die. Itappears that Cabral had given the | order for the man to be burned and he was prepared for execution. He was tied toa stake, the wood about him was lighted and be became unconscious from his torture, which gave rise to the statement that he had perished. It appears, however, that when he lost consciousness Cabral ordered the fire quenched and that efforts be made to restore Evariste. Their efforts were finally successful and Evariste was com- mitted to prison. The situation is considered most critical, and the official as well as public opinion is {now that at all points of the contested property the lives of the French subjects will be seriously imperiled if the Govern- ment does not take resolute military steps to occupy the whole of these regions or to at least break the power of Cabral. Should the National Government at Paris delay much longer to take the neces- sary steps in this matter, the people of Cayenne will themselves undertake the task of taking vengeance upon Cabral, and an expedition—the cost of which will be defrayed.by public subscriptions and prob- ably angmented by colonial funds—will be “dispatched to Mapa to avenge the death of those who have been sacrificed by Cabral, to liberate, if possible, those French subjects now held as prisouers by Cabral, and to assert the rights of the Guianese to inhabit on equal terms, at least, with Brazilian subjects, the con- tested territory. ——— Out of the State Legislature.

Rattling Battle Between Lavigne and Joe Walcott. FIGHT OF LIGHTWEIGHTS The Saginaw Lad Held Out for Fifteen Rounds and Won the Decision. GIVE AND TAKE TO THE CLOSE. During the Lively Scrimmages, How- ever, the Champion Came Very Near Losing an Ear. MASPETH, L. I, Dec. 2—The fifteen- round contest between Joe Walcott, Tom O'Rourke’s colored protege, and George Lavigne, better known as the ‘‘Saginaw Kid,” attracted one of the largest crowds to the Empire Athletic Club that has been seen since the club was opened. Both men were unbeaten lightweights, and the decision practically decided the lightweight championship. By a previous arrangement between the lads the decision was to go to Lavigne if he should be on his feet at the end of fifteen rounds. The colored boxer was favorite at 10 to 6. The opening bout was to be between Solly Smith and Jerry Marshall, but at the last moment it was announced that as Ma shall weighed in three pounds overweight Smith refused to fight, and Caspar Leon of New York and Joe Elms of Boston (colored) were substituted in a six-round bout. It was 9 o'clock when Elms and Leon got together. Tim Hurst was referee. Leon commenced the attacks, but for a few moments the colored lad held his own. | Toward the end of the first round Leon, however, fought the Boston boy all over the ring, knocking him to the tloor. The second and third rounds were in Leon’s favor and showed that Elms was out- classed. Leon slipped 1 the fourth round and Elms made a desperate attempt to foul him but was prevented by the referce. Im- mediately after Elms repeated his fouling tactics and the referee stopped the bout after one minute and 38 seconds, awarding the decision to Leon. Walcott was the first of the stars to en- ter the ring. He was attended by fom O’Rourke and George Dixon. Lavigne was loudly cheered as he clambered through the ropes. He was seconded by Sam Fitzpatrick, Teddy Alexanderand Tommy Ryan. Both lads weigh a pound or so un- der the limit of 133 pounds. Round 1—Walcott opened up with a right lightly on the ear. Lavigne led with his left, but the colored lad stepped away smiling. 1 vigne put in his right lightly on the wind. Lavigne sent a good right on the ribs and Wal- | cott retaliated with his left on the body. La- vigne sent in a hot right on the jaw, but did | not phase Walcott. Lavigne fell short with & left lead for the ribs. Round 2—Walcott was the first to lead with & blow on the neck. Futile sparring -followed and again Walcott got in on the neck.. Lavigne fell short and Walcott agein got his left on the neck. A rattling exchange foilowed, but La- vigne's blows did not seem to bother the col- ored lad any. Lavigne forced the fighting for a time, but Walcott got in & leit uppereut be- fore the end of the round. Round 3—Walcott led with his left on the jaw, getting away from the return again. Wa cott reached the jaw and then landed a smesh- ing right on the ribs. Walcott put in a hot | left on the ribs and Lavigne retaliated on the | head. Lavigne started to force the battle and | lauded a couple of terrific lefts on the heart | and a smashing right in the face. Round 4—After some sparring Walcott led with his left, but Lavigne got his jaw out of the way. Lavigne landed his right | on the ribs and his lett on the head. A couple | of hot rallies followed and Lavigne appeared | rather tired, but was smiling at the end of the round. The referee cautioned Walcott about not breaking away from clinches. Round 5—They got together quickly, but exchanges were light. Lavigne sent & hard right into the ribs, taking a left in the same place from Walcott. The colored boy neatly closed Lavigne's left eye with a hot right- hander. Lavigne rushed Walcott to the roves, but the colored boy quickly woke up and land- ed right end left three or four times on the face and eye. Lavigne railiedand had Walcott on the ropes when the bell rang. Round 6—Walcott landed both hands on the chest. Lavigne kept trying for the head, but his blows did not seem to affect Walcott much. Lavigne sent in his right on the neck, repeated & moment later on the jaw and bring- ing Walcott to his knes Lavigne landed his right under the ear and had Walcott on the ropes when the bell rang. Round 7—Walcott landed lightly on the face and after taking a hot right in the face with a smile rushed at Lavigne, but the white lad was too clever and slipped well. Lavigne rushed, and slipping came to his knees. Walcott put in a couple of eye-binders, but the “Kid” only grinned as he dodged the rushes that followed. Round 8—Walcott led with his left on the jaw and a moment after an uppercut with the right. Walcott rushed but the ““Kid” clinched, and on breaking eway the negro sent his right in the wind. Walcott sent in some hot body blows that made the “Kid'* wince. The Michi- gan boy kept landing his right on the head, but did not seem to bother Walcott. Round 8—Alfter a lot of fiadling Walcott put his right twice on the “Kid’s” face. Walcott tried an uppercut but missed and took a left swing on the jaw as he turned. A terrific right swing nearly severed Lavigne’s ear, which was henging half off. Itseemed td pain the “Kid” and he adopted defensive tactics, clinching be- fore the bell sounded. Round 10—Walcott’s left fell short, but a moment later he succeeded in sending in a right and left on the sidesof the head. Lavigne sent in & hard blow on the ribs with the left, put Walcott had the best of the exchanges that followed. Lavigng was putting up a strong and game fight, but Walcott appeared to have the advantage. Kound 11 —They exchanged lefts jand Lavigne clinched. Lavigne adopted saving tactics, and cleverly eiuded Joe's rushes. Lavigne's ear commenced to bleed afresh, and his face and chest were covejed with blood. Walcott could not get inside the “Kid's” guard in this round, try as he would. Round 12—Walcott started with the left on the “Kid’s” damaged ear. In a hot rally the “Kid” rushed Walcott to the ropes. The “Kid” slipped to his knees in a rush, but quickly recovered, and again forced the black to the ropes. Lavigne had all the best of the round, and his supporters went wild with enthusiasm. Both men were tired at the end of the rouna. Round 13—Walcott put a sounding right on the ribs, but the “Kid” sent in his left on the chin and staggered the colored boy. Heavy exchanges followed and Lavigne twice forced the black fellow to the ropes. Lavigne swung his right on Walcott’s jaw and had the negro very tired when the bell rang. Round 14—Walcott rushed, but his blows were cleverly stopped. Walcott made a terrific attempt at & right-hand uppercut and fairly threw himself flat on the floor in his effort. Lavigne then went for his man right and left, hammer and tongs. He pummeled Walcott | of at least a dozen other pupils. all over the ring and almost had the black fel- i.:w_w out. Walcott clinched and the bell saved im. Round 15—Walcott came up very weak and Lavigne swung his right twice on the neck. A straight left on the jaw staggered the darky. Another left on the neck nearly sent Walcott to the ropes. The scene when the bell rang and when the referee, according to agreement, pro- nounced Lavigne the winner. was one of great enthnsiasm. Young Griffo got in the ring and threw up his hat and the crowd clamored into the ring and congrat- ulated the winner, who fully deserved it, having fought a grand fight.

RIVERSIDE, Car., Dec. 2—The Na- tional circuit-riders were enthusiastically received here to-day upon the occasion of the National meet, but the large crowd vresent at Weelmen’s Park was somewhat disappointed when the crack class of riders acquitted themselves no better.

WILL ROW IN ENGLAND. Yale’s Crew to Meet the Winner of the Oxford-Cambridge Kace. NEW HAVEN, Coxx., Dec. 2.—A meet- ing between the Yale crew and the winner of the Oxford-Cambridge boat race during | the coming year is now an assured fact. | For a month past the possibility of such | an action being taken has been a source of | discussion among the students and under- graduates at Yale, and, as a result of the | peculiar pepular feeling for such a match, negotiations are now in progress toward making one. | The recent athletic contests between American and English college teams has | awakened the greatest interest in the lead- | ing colleges of both countries for the con- | tinuation of these contests. Both coun- tries now stand on an even basis, the defeat of the Yale team in London in 1894 by the | Oxford College team having been wiped out by the victory of this year. Assurances | have been received from both English col- leges that a match for aquatic supremacy could be looked on as an assured fact, and it can now be said positively that a Yale | crew will visit Eneland in 1896, | S e SCHOOL CHILDREN INJURED.

Barbara Aub, Who Preferred the Charge, Admitted That She Committed Perjury. NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—There was a great sensation in Part 2 of the Court of General Sessions this morning when Recorder Goff callea Walter S. Langerman to the bar for sentence. Langerman was con- victed last ‘'uesday on a charge of crim- inally assaulting Barbara Aub. When Langerman was called to the bar ! the Recorder, instead of sentencing him | to fifteen years as almost every one ex- | pected, startled the throng of spectators | by saying: “Barbara Aub has admitted tome in an affidavit that Langerman is innocent of the charge upon which he was convicted. She also admits that her testi- mony at the trial against this man was entirely false. Langerman is therefore | discharged upon the charge upon his own | recognizance. He stands committed, how- ever, to the House of Detention as a wit- ness in probable proceedings against Bar- bara Aub for perjury.” Langerman sobbed aloud as the Recorder spoke. Barbara Aub was brought into court a little later. The Recorder com- mitted her to the city prison to await the action of the Grand Jury. He said to her: “You have done more harm to thelaw than you did to Langerman.” L Emmet Will Sue for a Divorce. DENVER, Coro0., Dec. 2.—Fritz Emmet Jr. will file an application for a divorce to-morrow, alleging cruelty and desertion.

In'the allegations Emmet states that his wife deserted him in Texas last September after previously having charged him repeatedly with infidelity and having abused him by the use of obscene epi- thets. MADE A GREAT RUN, Trip of the Empire Express From New York to Buffalo. - SHORTENING THE TIME. An Accident Caused a Failure to Establish a New World’s Record. WILL YET BEAT THE ENGLISH. During Portions of the Rapid Journey the Train Encountered Snow- storms. BUFFALO, N. Y., Dec. 2.—The Empire State express made & phenomenal run from New York to this city to-day, and but for a trifling accident near the end of the journey would have established a new world’s record for a regular train. The iron scoop which takes water from the track tanks struck an obstacle at Churchill, fifty miles from here, and became dis- placed, so that a stop had to be made and the scoop removed. Twenty-five minutes were lost in this way. The train arrived here at 5:08 p. ., twenty-three minutes behind schedule time. The New York Central Railroad Com- pany decided to lop off twenty-five min- utes from the running time of the Empire State express between New York and Buffalo in order to maintain their claim fof operating the fastest regular train in the world. Recent reductions in the schedule times of trains between London and Edinburgh have given England the claim of having the fastest train 1n the world. On the east coast route from Kingscross to Edinburgh the run of 39214 miles is made in 450 min- utes, an average speed of 52.46 miles an hour. The New York Central people there- fore decided to cut down their running time and make the 444 miles between New | York and Buffalo at the rate of 5314 miles an hour and place America ahead for rapid trains. The new schedule was made by taking | five minutes off the time from New York to Albany, ten minutes off from Albany to Syracuse and ten minutes from Syracuse to Buffalo. The first train to run on the new sched- ule left the Grand Central depot at 8:30 . M. to-day. It consisted of the regular Em- pire State express train, made up of a buf- fet-car, a drawing-room, two day coaches and engine 870. The special car Mariquita, an additional weight of 106,000 pounds, was attacbed to the rearof the train. In the special car were General Passenger Agent George H. Daniels, J. C. Yaeger, general superintendent of the Wagner Palace Car Company, and other railway officials and newspaper men. Conductor B. H. Dayton was in charge of the train. Engineer Archie Buchanan was at the throttle and A. Filiot was fireman. . T he weather was unpropitious, the rain making the rails wet ana slippery, and the trip was finished in the teeth of a snow- storm. A couple of minutes was lost getting out of New York. After passing Spuyten Duyvil the first speeding was done. The first hundred miles were made in 11034 minutes, an average of 54.29 miles per hour. The train rolled into Albany, where the first stop was made, at 11:06 A. x., four | minutes ahead of time. The 148 miles from New York were made in 156 minutes. There was a five-minute stop at Albany and engine 999 took the place of engine 870. The train arrived in Syracuse 2:40 min- utes ahead of schedule time. A stop of five minutes was made, engine 90¢ taking the place of 999, and the train left the Salt City on time. Rochester was reached at 3:25p. M. and the train left there three minuteslate in a snowstorm. Buffalo was reached at 5:08, just twenty-three minutes behind schedule time. DEATH OF A YOUNG CADET. Albert Bittman’s Body Found on a Road Near Wamego, Kansas. WAMEGO, Kaxs., Dee. The body of Albert Bittman, a young West Point cadet, was found in the road near here to- day. When the body was brought here | to-day three letters were found in his pockets, with other unmistakable evidences that he had, in a moment of nsanity, taken his own life. One letter was ad- dressed to the persons finding the body and gave directions for 1ts disposition. Another was addressed to his father, and its contents, so far as made public, are that it was not the great disappointment of naving to resign his cadetship that caused him to commit the deed. What it was will probably remain a secret for all time. A third letter was addressed to a young lady with whom he was intimately acquainted at Manhattan. It is not yet known when the young man arrived in Wamego, but it is Lelieved he came on Saturday night’s train from Kan- sas City. No one, however, saw him alight, and he must have stepved off on the dark side of the train, wandering about all night, perhaps walking to his old home and then retracing his steps. The young man was born in Louisville twenty years ago. His father is a mer- chant there. G. M. Bitman of Leaven- worth was his uncle. He was the success- ful candidate in the First Congressional District for a West Point cadetship in 1893, and had passed his first year at that mili- tary institution. He could not stand the severe strain he was put through in the strict discipline, and a constitution that was not the best to begin with gave way and he was sent to the hospital. Then he determined to resign, which he did, going to St. Lows, where he visited some rela- tives a week or so. TOOK RAT POISON. Suicide of a Young Woman Who Was Crossed in Love. BUTLER, Mo., Dec. 2.—Fannie, daugh- ter of Judge J. C. Phillips, living five miles east of here, took rat poison Saturday evening and died this morning. She was in her eighteenth year and was highly esteemed by all who knew her. Her parents had opposed her marriage to a young man. The fact that she had taken the polson was not discovered until the next morning. Her mother asked what she could do for her. Fannie said: *Nothing; I have done it sll,” and told her mother and father all that she had done and that she would rather die than not marry her lover, and that she would sooner die than marry any one over her parents’ objection. When the physician said her recovery was not to be antici- pated her father asked her if she would like to see her lover. She said “Yes,” and he was sent for and was with her in her last moments. ENDED BY A COMPEOMISE. ZLong and Bitter Struggle for the Posses- sion of a Railroad. GALVESTON, Tex., Dec. 2.—The long and bitter war between the Missouri, Kan- sas and Texas Railroad system and the In- ternational andy Great Northern Railroad Company for the possession of the Galves- ton, Houston and Henderson Railroad be- tween Houston and Galveston, furnishing an outlet at tidewater on the gulf, has ter- minated ina compromise after being be- fore the State and Federal courts for about three years. The terms of the compromise, as agreed upon between the owners of the respective properties, providé that the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Company shall transfer to the International and Great Northern Company 4999 shares of the capital stock of the Gal- veston, Houston anda Henderson Railroad, of the par value of §100 per share, being one-half of the total amount of the Gal- veston, Houston ana Henderson Com- pany, less one share, the “Katy’’ retain- ing 4999 shares, and the two remaining shares being placed with some party agreed upon by both the contending roads in order to secure the strict and impartial carrying out of the terms of the agree- ment. In consideration for this transfer of stock the International and Great Northern surrenders the 99-year lease made in 1883, by which it secured exclu- sive possession and control of the G. H. and H. property and franchise to be can- celed and abrogated. EVNTFUL WEDDING TOUR An American Citizen Separated From His Bride on a Visit to Hungary. Compelled to Serve in the Army Be- cause He Was a Native of That Country. NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 2. — Elmer Keller, a naturalized citizen living at 719 East Sixth street, is about to bring to the attention of the State Department an out- rage he was subjected to by the Hungarian Government. He is well known 1n the Hungarian colony and demands $20,000 indemnity. Deep interest istaken in his case. Keller was married on September 2, 1894, and went on his wedding tour to Hungary, his native land, which he had left seven years ago. At Buda-Pesth, on March 16 of this year, he received a sum- mons from the Associate County Judge to appear before the Military Comm: sioners for examination regarding his fitness for the army. Being an American citizen, he ignored the order. Receiving a second summons, he went before the Judge and showed his naturalization papers. The Judge said, “If you are an American citizen why did not you stay there?” Despite his protests and the lamenta- tions of his wife, he was forced into the army and assigned to the regular K. K. U. Infantry, Sixty-ninth Regiment. He is not robust, and the trials of a soldier’s life told severely on him. His bride, from whom he had been mercilessly torn, had to live with relatives and seek menial em- ployment, as the pay of a Hungarian soldier is only 6 kreutzers a day—about 2 cents. . The bride, after several months of cease- less endeavor, finally obtained an audi- ence with the Minister of Foreign Affairs. She fell on her knees and amid tears begged for her husband’s release. The Minister did not act promptly and it was six months after Keller was deprived of his freedom before he was discharged. He determined to lose no time getting out of his native land, to which he had takena strong dislike. The American Minister, however, it is claimed, delayed returning his naturalization papers, which put him to further delay. 3 Failing in health and ruined financially he was in a sorry plight. He borrowed money to come back to the United States, but his wife still remains behind. He says that any of his countrymen who have made the United States their adopted home are liable to be similarly treated. oo i e KILLED IN A DRUNKEN ROW. Allen Mann, a Private Soldier, Shot Down at Wichita, Kans. WICHITA, Kaxs., Dec. 2.—Allen Mann, a private soldier, belonging to Troop F, Second Cavalry, was shot and fatally wounded in a resort presided over by lda Putman at Junction City last night. The man who did the shootingis Ben Oberdoff, proprietor of the place. The cause of the shooting was the efforts of drunken sol- diers to demolish the doors and windows of the house. The victim of the affair was endeavoring to defend the place, and it is stated fired two shots at the invaders. Oberdoff, hearing the shooting, rushed in the back way, and the soldier pointed his gun at him. Oberdoff fired first, the ball striking the soldier in the neck, severing the carotid artery, from the effects of which he died about 7 o’clock this morn- ing. Oberdoff gave himself up to the au- thorities and was locked np pending an in- vestigation. A Coroner's jury viewed the remains of the victim of the tragedy to-day and will hold an inquest. Bt e MAY YET REACH THE POLE. Professor Diche Decides to Make Another Trip to the Arctic. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 2.—Professor Diche of the Kansas University said to- day that he had practically decided to make another trip to the Arctic Ocean in search of the pole, having received an offer of assistance, but he declines to name the source of the offer. It is supposed the American Museum, under whose auspices he joined the Peary expedition, has some- thing to do with the offer. The professor said the insufficiency of the food supply had been the sole cause of the failure of the previous expeditions and that given plenty to eat he will get to the north pole as easily as he got within 800 miles of it. His present Elnn is to creep around the west coast of reenland and then make a dash for the pole by sledge or boat. You Know That Catarrh cannot be cured by local ap- plications.

Urgent Necessity for Concen- trated Effort on the Part of Patriots in America. GENERAL CAMPOS IS DICTATOR. Practically Given Absolute Control, He Is Offering Protection to Planters. BOSTON, M4ss.,, Dec. 2.—The Cubans’ Patriotic League to-day received a letter from G. ¥. Maceo in regard to the progress of the war in the eastern part of Cuba. The insurgent leader states that, in spite of all reports from Spanish authorities, the in- surgents have not received the severe set- back which has been given out. The whole of the eastern portion of the island, with the exception of Santiago de Cuba, still remains in their hands and they have lost no ground in the west, as the territory vacated by the advance of the regulars was that which had been but merely occu- pied by advance detachments of the army, and that the mountainous country as yet proved too hard a nut for even General Campos’ skill to overcome. General Maceo, however, gives the most urgent necessity for a concerted effort on the part of the patriots in the United States in collecting money and ammuni- tions of war, as he realizes fully that the strict attention being paid to the coast by the Spanish cruisers will eventually stop all re-enforcements being landed. The in- surgent supply of both arms and ammuni- tion is sufficient for present needs, but will not be adequate for the struggle yet to come. He also states that the war is by no means ended. While his conviction of the ultimate success of the patriots re- mains unchanged he foresees that the severest fighting of the war is yet to come. The Transcript to-night publishes a special from Havana stating that General Campos is now personally dictator of af- fairs at the capital. His recent dispatches to the home Government have constantly brought attention to the manner in which his hands were being tied by the civil au- thorities, and the result has been that he has been given practically absolute con- trol, governing everything which in any way will solve the quick ending of the struggle. As a means of encouraging the planters to continue their sugar-raising he has| offered to give military guard to any plan- tation making application and has also offered other strong inducements. In this "manner he has already gained consider- able support from the plantation owners, but mostly from those of Spaniards, the Americans holding aloof and secretly if not openly favoring the insurgents.
