Inoffensive Men Slain in the Sight of Their Wives and Children. DEEDS THAT CHILL THE BL0OD An American Citizen Writes of His Experiences — Dwelling in Fear of Death. JACKBONVILLE, Fra., March 2 following letter was received in this city yesterday by a prominent gentleman of this city from an American in Cuba: “I wrote to you a few days ago and yes- terday I received your letter of the 3d, the first I have had from you since I left. see no possibility of leaving the island, as things are getting worse and worse every day. Owing to the last news from your side the feeling against us here is very bitter and I am fearing from one day to another some public manifestation against us and some one will perish. “As to my going to the country, itis almost suicide, as they are killing people right and left and letting them lie in the fields to be eaten by the vultures. I have seen ten of those unfortunates after ten or twelve days killed, among them a poor friend of ours, and another friend has disappeared and I fear that he met with the same fate. I have been told that there are here scattered about thirty or forty podies, but T did not care to see more than the ten I saw, as it made me sick—the sight and the smell. “I have been fired at twice. Fortun- ately for me, the first day I happened to be away from the piazza where I had the habit of sitting after breakfast. They seered 1o know it. As a force of Spanish troops passed the place from the highroad, they firea at the house and most of the shots struck the piazza. The second time I was going from the place to another piantation, and on the road that separates that place from ours again they fired at me. hut fortanately in both csses no harm was done. Our friend, the doctor, is also on the missing "lists. i hope he has been able to get away; otherwise he will meet the same fate that so many others have met. ““I do not care to mention names, other- wise I could relate to you a great many atrocities that have been committed in this neighborhood. I could not believe it at rirst, until I made up my mind to go and see for myself. There have been cases of a Cuban, a poor man, being killed before the eyes of his own wife and chil- dren for no reason whatever. “If 1 should ever see you again I will tell you things that will make your blood run cold. I have often heard of the cruelty of these people, but I must confess I did not believe half of it until I saw with my own eyes and now I am ready to believe any- thing that is told me of their horrible deeds.” . RUIZ REACHES CURA. Landing of amother Expedition From American Waters. NEW YORK, N. Y., March 22.—The Sun will say to-morrow morning: Information has been received by a prominent Cuban in this city of the landing of another ex- pedition. This one was commanded by General Juan F. Ruiz, who was reported to have left on the Bermuda expeaition with General Garcia. General Ruiz, whois a veteran of the ten- years’ war in Cuba, went to Barcelona, Spain, after itstermination and there went into the tobacto business. When the pres- ent revolution began he sold his business and went to Paris to avoid the detectives, who were watching him. From Paris he came to this city. He was on the ill-fated Hawkins expedition, and also on the first Bermuda expedition, where he was second in command to Gen- eral Garcia. The general lived in this city with a family named Wilson. He disappeared from his home about two weeks ago, and succeeded in eluding the vigilance of the Spanish detectives, who were then watch- ing for bim. He went to Florida, accom- panied by two young men, Ramon Ruiz and Jose Ruteas. Ruiz's fatner is a Spaniara, and came here from Barcelona with General Ruiz. Both young men are to have commissions in the Cuban army. The information now received is to the effect that General Ruiz has succeeded in landing sbout thirty patriots on the island with a large amount of arms and ammunition. SLAIN BY THE CENSOR. Death of @ Cuban General Keported From Madrid. MADRID, Sparx, March 22.—A dispatch from Havana states that the rebel leades Perez was kiMed and the insurgent chief Verona wounded in their last encounter with the troops. The dispatch adds that the rebeis have hanged near Guanes six- teen peasants of Spanish origin. The representative of The United Press learns that the Government has decided not to buy the eruisers that were offered to it by Glasgow builders. The Spanish naval commission that was sent to England to examine the vessels has made a report against them, adding that most of the war- ships now on sale in England are not of the type or tonnage required by Spain. —_— KETURN OF A FILIBUSTER. Believed to Have Landed Men and Arms on the Island. CHARLESTON, 8. C.. March 22.—The alieged filibustering steamer Commodore, which left this port on the 13th for Tampa with a cargo of arms and amwunition, re- | ton this week, 1} | ably in June. turned here to-day minus the cargo and twenty-three of her crew and thirty-one men, The officers will say nothing, but the steward, who is a Charleston man, says that when in the Florida Keys the Com- modore experienced bad weather and struck a snag, which caused ber to leak so badly that it was necessary to throw all of bLer cargo and much of her coal overboard. The crew became alarmed, and twenty- three insisted on leaving the ship in boats. These twenty-three were Cubans. Hansen's story is not credited. THE INDIANAPOLIS RIOT. Intense Excitement Follows the Bloody Conflict of Saturday Evening. Eight Arrests. INDIANAPOLIS, Ixp., March 22.—The riot last evening at Chandler & Taylor's foundry has been followed by intense ex- citement among the laboring classes of this city, and during the day large crowds assembled around the works and discussed the situation. As there are several non-union men in the foundry who were recently brought here by the proprietors, it was feared that another outbreak might occur, and a heavy guard of police was kept around the foundry all day. Though the union molders and their sympathizers were ina bad humor, no attempt was made to inter- fere with the men inside the works. The strikers say they have kept up the fight against the ‘“‘scabs” for more than a year, and they propose to continue it until the foundry becomes unionized; that the men who are employed in their places are mostly foreigners, and if they are made to feel that organized labor is against them and will accept no compromise they will eventually be driven out of the city. Eight arrests of persons engaged in the riot have been made. MANSFIELD BIG SALARY. He Signs @ Four Years’ Contract With Daniel Frohman.

Tupper Sues for Legal Separation From His Wife. Wil Daughter of a San Francisco Contractor " Invo!ved in a Scandal in Boston. BOSTON, Mass.,, March 22.—Literary Boston was astounded last week to learn that Charles 8.'St. Zelcki, a bright young litterateur of Polish extraction, was the notorious burglar who plundered Back Bay flats of jewelry valued in the thousands. He said he did it to avoid starving. The police say he did it to satisfy the cravings for money and jewels of his landlady, Mrs. Frark L. Tupper, who, within a fortnight separated from her husband on his ac- count. Now the wife is suing for a divorce on the gronnd of cruelty, while the hus- band will retaliate in kind, naming St. Zelcki as co-respondent. Mrs. Tupper is an exceedingly handsome young woman, refined and well educated. To a reporter she said to-day: “My husband’s charge is false. That I received jewels from Charley is true, bnt the police have taken them away. I loved him; I do yet. Iam sure my husband cannot prove bis statements. Were he in San Francisco he would never live to re- peat them. Yes; I am a Californian. My father is a contractor in San Francisco and lives on Nob Hill. I cannot tell his name; it’s bad enough for me to be mixed up with a burglar.” Frank L. Tupper says: “I felt that sooner or later my wife’s acquaintance with this man would become known. Her conduct grew so unbearable that a week before Christmas I turned her out of my house. She was constantly in the com- pany of this young burglar. Before this man’s arrest she visited my mother’s house and induced our little girl to accom- pany her to her flat. The child has told me of many things she saw. No, I can’t tell you her muiden name. I married her in San Francisco,where her father is doing business as a contractor. It would not be right to show him up. He always used me right.” —_— PROTEST OF NEBRASKANS. A Bl Before tRe House in the Interest of Land-Grabbers. LINCOLN, NEBR., March 22.—Settlers in ‘Western Nebraska counties have united in a protest against tha bill introduced in the House by Congressman Andrews prce viding for the cession to the State of large bodies of Government land on condition that the State provides systems of irriga. tion. The main objection of the settlers is that the land, in case the Government sur- renders it, will immediately be seized by syndicates to hold for speculation, and the settlers will thus be deprived of its use for grazing and hay cutting, which is about their only means of livelihood. Persons familiar with the land claim it is non- irrigable, and that while Congressman An- drews is doubtless honmest in his inten- tions the bill is merely a land-grabbing scheme. Protests will be sent to Washing- J RECE Vi e FATHER NEPTUNE SURPRISES MR. HUNTINGTON. BEDOUINS JOIN THE EXPEDITION, England’s. Total Force in the .

CATIRO, Ecypr, March 22.—Beven thou- sand Bedouins and three British battalions have been organized to join the Houdan expedition. This will make a total of 19,- 000 men forming the expedition. General Kitchener, Sirdar of the Egyp- tian army, and Slatin Pasha of the Army Intelligence Department, started last night for Wady-Halfa, the Egyptian post on the boundary of the Soudan. The North Staffordshire Regiment, numbering 900 officers and men, started to-day for Girgen, where they will embark on steamers for the journey up the Nile for Wady-Halfa. A large crowd was prezent to witness the departure oi the regiment and many good wishes were extended to the troops. A regiment from India that is ultimately to take part in the operations arrived at Mombasa, East Africa, on March 15. It will remain there for a time and will be employed in operations against one of the native chiefs, who is in rebelion against the British. i ST Peace Negotiations Ended. ROME, Itavy, March 22.—The Italia says that General Baldissera, the com- mander-in-chief of the Italian forces in Africa, has broken off the peace negotia- tions with King Menelik, the latter’s de- mands being excessive. They include the payment by Italy of 25,000,000 lire in gold. PRAISES THE MWASSACHUSETTS. Rear Admiral Makaroff of the Russian Navy Highly Pleased With the Battleship. PHILADELPBIA, Pa., March 22.—Rear Admiral Makaroff of ‘the Russian navy, who was aboard the battleship Massachu- setts during her builders’ trial trip, in speaking of the vessel’s performance, said : “I was greatly impressed by the care shown by the Cramps in studying the workings of the machinery with a view to improvements, if any might be made. I was also greatly pleased with the ship. Ten years ago we were accustomed to see very old-fashioned ships in your navy and we are now glad to see that our friends have such fine ships everywhere.”” As a battleship, he considers the Massa- chusetts superior to many others, and es- pecially in the range of fire, and he thought she had an astonishingly good fore and aft fire. To get this, however, he thinks she has sacrificed slightly her free- board, but as she is for coast defense he thought this defect was perhaps not im- portant. - As compared to the great Rus- sian battleships in the Black Sea, which he considers the best in Europe for con- centration of tire, Admiral Makaroff ad- mitted that he considered the Massachu- setts superior for concentration in firing. i A GIVEN UP FUR LOST.

ALL DISPUTES T0 BE ARBITRATED. Proposition Submitted by Great Britain to the United States. \PEACE WILL BE PERMANENT. From His Time-Honored Policy. LONDON, Exc., March 22.—Lora Salis- bury has written a' letter to Sir James Stansfeld, who was chairman of the recent demonstration in Queen’s Hall in favor of the principle of arbitration 1n all disputes ‘between Great Britain and the United States, acknowledging the receipt of the memorial adopted at the meeting. In his letter Lord Salisbury says: Iam glad to be able to inform you that this question is receiving the consideration of her Majesty’s Government, and that proposals in the direction indicated by the memorial are now before the Government of the United States. < BALISBURY. The memorial referred to contained the following: “Without expressing any opinion upon pending controversies, we would earnestly press the advisability of promptly conclud- ing some treaty arrangement by which all disputes between Great Britain and the United States could be referred for adjudi- cation to some permanent tribunal repre- senting both nations and uniting them in the-common interest of justice ana peace In moving the adoption of the memorial Mr. Sbaw-Lefevre, formerly president of the Local Government Board, submitted the following resolution, which was adopted: That the chairman be instructed to forward the memorial, when signed, to the President of the United States, to the Prime Minister and 1o the leader of the House of Commons, with &n earnest desire of this meeting, that no time may be lost in taking action thereupon. ‘ He said that almost twenty-eight years ago he enlisted the almost unanimous vote of the House of Commons in favor of arbitration on' the Alabama claims. At that time the first cable had just been laid ‘and Cyrus Field telegraphed the whole of his ‘speech 'aeross the Atlantic. The speech was_ apparently 80 heavy that it broke the cable. Since that time about forty arbitrations had taken place, in ten of which the Usited States waa concerned and-in_eight ‘Great Britain was a party. In 1884 Great Britain negotiated a treaty of commerce with-V ela,in which, for the first time, there was an arbitration clause; but the treaty was.not ratified, as Mr. Gladstone’s Government went ont and the Foreign Office: permanent officials, he be- lieved, thwarted his well-meant efforts. 1In its issue to-morrow the Daily News, under the caption of “A Breax in the Clouds,” will deal with Lord Salisbury’s View of Berber on the Nile, From Which Point, It Is Understood, One Portion of the British Expedi- tionary Force Will Advance to Reconquer the Soudan. 3 [From a sketch made by a British officer for the London Graphic.] reply to Sir James Stansfeld, which it de- scribes as the most hopeful word that has been had for a long time from the Prime Minister. The paper says it hopes that no efforts will be spared to press the consider- ation by the Government of the memorial into action. The Daily News elsewhere traces the arbitration movement from the resolutions adopted by the American Con- gress in 1890 and the House of Commons in 1893, and ‘from President Cleveland’s message in the latter year. It proceeds: ‘“When Lord Rosebery became Prime Minister he took the matter up with the unanimous approval of the Cabinet. He intimated to Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British Embassador to the United States, that should President Cleveland act upon theresolution of Congress, which requested him to invite negotiations with this Gov- ernment with a view to establish a system of arbitration, the British Government would welcome such an invitation. Since then nothing has been done. We hope Lord Salisbury’s letter means that substan- tial proposals have been made.’’ SERIOUS RIOT AT KILIS. A Number of Armenians and Mussulmans Killed and Wounded in the Confiict. CONSTANTINOPLE, Turkey, March 22.VAn official report states that a serious disturbance between Mussulmans and Ar- menians occurred on Thursday last at Kilis, in the vilayet of Aleppo.

HONDURAS MAY STEP IN, Insurgents Daily Gaining Ground and Confident of Ultimate Victory. A REVIEW OF THE SITUATION. All Five of the Central American Republics May Yet Become Embroiled. NEW YORK, N. Y., March 22.—The revolution in Nicaragua, according to in- telligence received through private chan- nels to-day, is more serious than the dis- patches from that country would indicate. The strict press censorship established by President Zelaya renders it impossible for news of any character, except what is favorable to the Government, from being made public. Two facts, however, in the opinion of those thoroughly familiar with existing conditions, seem to be well estab- lished. First, that Zelaya is not suppres- sing the rebellion, and second, that the Honduran troops which arrived in Nica- ragua on Friday last as the supposed allies of Zelaya are quite as likely to aid the rebels as to act with the Government froops. The first of these facts is based upon the almost certain knowledge that the revolue tionists have not lost ground; that they are confident of success, since in every en- gagement they have been the aggressors; that they have the moral and material sup- port of the great majority of the Liberal party which placed Zelava in power, and that the Government forces have main- tained from the beginning a purely defen- sive attitude. The Honduran troops are now in Nica- ragua at a point midway between Leon and Corinto, in the territory occupied by the rebels. Their present attitude is one of strict neutrality, but it is regarded as not improbable that their aid may in the end be given to Baca, the provisional President of the insurgent government. Color is given to this belief by the inti- mate relations that have long existed be- tween General Ortiz, the commander of the insurgents, and Prestdent Bonilla of Honduras, who, in point of fact, owes his present elevation o the services rendered in his behalf several years ago by Ortiz. If Honduras espouses Baca’s cause, the latter will, it is believed, become victori- ous, since his troops are armed with mod- ern guns and animated by sentiments of the loftiest patriotism, inasmuch as they are fighting for constitutional liberty and to prevent the alleged dictatorship of Ze- laya. Without Hoduras’ aid the result is likely to be in doubt for several months at least. Another eiement of uncertainty is the influence which the Salvadoran Peace Commission may exert upon the contend- ing factions. That their efforts will result in failure is believed to be probable. Baca and those associated with him are deter- mined upon the overthrow of Zelaya, while Zelaya, on thie other hand, is equally determined upon the suppression of the rebellion, neither side being willing to concede any advantage to the other. In these circumstances a review of the events which led up to the present sitna- tion. are of interest. Several years ago Zelaya headed a movement which had for its purpose the overthrow of President Zavala, who was elected through conserva- tive influences. The movement succeeded for a few months and Zelaya served as — e NEW TO-DAY. Half the fun of life is lost by many people through i neglect of one of Nature’s most rigid laws.
