Stories of Other Victories Sent in That Yet Lack Due Verification, CLEVELAND IS IN NO HURRY. The President Not Ready to Recognize the Struggling Cubans as Belligerents. HAVANA, Cusa, April 7.—An official report issued this afternoon states that Government troops attacked Maceo's forces at La Palma, province of Pinar del Rio, on March 29. The rebels were com- pelled to retreat. They left be thirty-nine dead lying in the s town. Other dead and a wounded were carried off gents. The total losses o ated to have been ove 3 nish loss is given as six volunteers and seven regular troops wounded. his is the first news of a battle having been fought at La Palma and it is impos- sible to verify the truth of the Govern- ment’s account of the engagement. Colonel Moncado reports that he Las de- stroyed a rebel camp Jobo, province of Matanzas. Thei ents madea strong resistance and did not retreat until four- teen of their number were Killed. General Oliver reports the capture of another rebel camp at Santa Rosa. The reets of the rebel losses in the agement were large. The Spanish lost one lieutenant and four soldie d tweaty wounded. - CLEVELAND WILL CONSIDER. Little Likelihood of His Favoring the | Cubans. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 7.—Sec- retary Olney calied early at the White se and remained in close consultation the President for a long time. It is lieved the two were engaged in the prep- n of the special message to Congress elating to Cuba and an exposition of “he actual state of affairs on the island as revealed in the reports of Unitea. States Consuls and other trusted sources ot information. Thereisa resolution be- fore the President, passed at the instance of Senator Hoar, calling for this informa- tion. It isreasoned that the President, in transmitting the information, may feel it his duty, in view of the overwhelming majority by which the Cuban concurrent resolutions passed both branches of Con- gress, to make a plain statement, showing that, regardless of the sympathy he may feel perspnally for the insurgents, he is abso. v bound by the facts as he sees them, by precedent and by the dictates of international law, to persist in his atti- tude. The resolutions were to-day brought to the attention of the President by the Sec- retary of the Senate, who presented him with an enrolled copy of the document. Ordinarily concurrent resolutions are not forwarded to the President as e his signature, but these resol were because they express the opinion that he should tender the offices of the United States to Spain for the recognition of Cuban independence, and are, therefore, a direction to him in so far as Congress can ct the President in such a proceeding. W YORK, N.Y., April 7.—The Her- s Washingson special says: It is re- ported to-night on apparently good suthority that President Cleveland has taken steps to inform himself as to the exact condition of affairs in Cuba, and has sent secret agents to the island to ascertain whether the claims of the insur- gents as to the establishment of a govern- ment and their military progress are true. It is said that the President desires to sapplement the consular reports by the reports of special agents as to certain phases of the situation. LONDON, ExG., April 7.—The Madrid correspondent of the Standard telegraphs that at a meeting of the Cabinet this even- ing Prime Minister Castillo stated that cfficial and private advices from Washing- ton induced the belief that President Cleveland would not put into effect the Cuban belligerency bill. The Govern- ment, he added, would remain in an ex- pectant attitude until it was officially in- formed of the intentions of the United States. alc s REPUBLICANS TO PROTEST. Spanish Groups Arramge a Demonsira- tion Against Uncle Sam. MADRID, Spars, April 7.—A council of the Republican groups has resolved to organize a demonstration against the vote of the American House of Representatives to recognize the Cuban insurgents as bel- 1 ents, The leaders of all the political will be invited to take part in the demonstration. 4 Dispatches received up to a late hour to- night show that there have been no dis- turbances anywhere in Spain. The pub- lic does not seem to have been affected by the news, it having long regarded the vote &6 & foregone conclusion. sl v KEPT QUIET IN CUBA. Papers in Harana Do Not Dare to Pub- lish the News. HAVANA, Cupa, April 7.—No news of the action of the United States House of Kepresentatives in passing the Cuban res- olutions was published here in yes. teraay afternoon’s papers or this morn- ing’s papers, and the general public is not informed as to the action taken. The result of the vote in the House is known, however, at the clubs and hotels, the information having been obtained through private messages. Sympathizers with the Cubans who are informed as io the action of Congress are elated over the [} result, while the Spaniards are indignant. Havana is quiet and there were no signs that any demonstration of protest will be made. ROENTGEN RAY IN EVIDENCE. Photographs to Figure in a Suit Against a _ New York Physician for Mal- practice. NEW YORK, N. Y., April 7.—The first instance of the Roentgen rays being put touse in proving a point at law will take vlace to-day at a trial mn the Supreme Court at Brooklyn. Photographs by the process will be exhibited showing the con- dition of a boy’s arm, which was broken over two years ago. These pictures will be relied on to a large degree by the plaint- iff in the action to prove his allegations. The suit is brought -on the ground of malpractice by Daniel David of Brooklyn | against Dr. Gumond of Bath Beach, L. 1. David sues to secure $25000 damages, claiming that the doctor did not set his son’s arm properly, and that in conse- quence his son has become crippled per- manently and has entirely lost the use of his leit arm and hand. Davis says that shortly after Dr. Gumond set the broken bone the splints were re- moved, the boy’s hand began to bend downward, and the arm shrank and twisted out of its natural position. The | condition of the member constantly grew | worse. The fingers were drawn up and l‘c:mnoz be straightened, the wrist bone protrudes badly, and the hand and arm cannot be moved about at will. Last Friday David engaged Professor Peckham of the Adelphi Academy, Brook- lyn, to photograph his son’s arm by the use of the Roentgen rays. The pictures thus secured show conclusively that the arm was not properly set. There is a space of half an inch between thé broken ends of the bone. This would naturally | preclude the possibility of the fracture knitting properly. Prominent lawyersare engaged in the cas COUNT YA AGATA’S TRIP. General Coppinger Will Greet the Field Marshal at Omaha. OMABA, NEBR., April 7.—Field Marshal Count Yamagata of Japan will arrive in Omaha to-morrow afternoon over the Union Pacific at 4:45. He 1s accompanied by his_staff and will remain here until | Thursday afternoon, when he will proceed East. General Coppinger will show him the or- dinary military courtesies, for, although his visit is not an official one, passing through the United States en route to Moscow to attend the coronation of the Czar, he has been entertained by the people and mili- tary authorities at’ San Francisco and by the neople of Salt Lake. Count Yamagata will stop in Chicazgo, Washington and New York and perhaps one or two other cities before sailing for Russia. He left Ogden to-day on the Union Pacific fast train. CLUBS ARE EXEMPT. Not Compelled to Comply With the Raines Excise Law. ALBANY, N. Y., April 7.—The Court of which holds that clubs are not amenable to the State excise law, and the inference is that they cannot be required to take out a license to sell liquor under the Raines liquor tax law. The decision was in the case of the people of the State against the Adelphi Club of Albany. Judee Haight wrote the opinion, in which all the Jud ges concurred. Under these constructions of a State excise law it is expected that the Raines liquor tax law will be declared un- constitutional so far as it requires a club to take out an excise license. e — Three Serious Fires.

DOUGLASVILLE, Ga., Avril 7.—The Eden Park Cotton Mills were destroyed by fire to-night. Loss $125,000. EVACUATION OF KASSAL, Italian Troops Withdraw From Strongholds by Order of Baldissera. British Statesmen Puzzled by the Move and Regard It as of Serious Import. ROME, Irany. April 7. — A dispatch from Massowah dated April 5 says that on Friday last Colonel Stevani attacked the Dervish entrenchments in the vicinity. He won a partial success, and proposed to renew the attack on Saturday, but Gen- eral Baldissera, the commander-in-chief, ordered him to make no further attack, and mstructed him to evacuate Kassala and Adigrat. These orders have been complied with. LONDON, Exc., April 7.—Some of the morning papers will remark upon the se- rious import of the evacuation of Kassala by the Italians, and recall the statement made in the House of Commons recently by George N. Curzon, Parliamentary Sec- retary of the Foreign Office, to the effect that ltaly had informed Great Britain that she would not evacuate Kassala unlessit was found militarily impossible to hold the place, and other statements of the same import. b Lo The Red Cre Jor Abyssinia. ST. PETERSBURG, Russia, April 7.— In response to a renewed request, the Government has decided to send a number of members of the Red Cross Society to work among the Abyssinians. ST A Mtorm of Wind and Ratn. LINCOLN, Nesr., April 7.—A storm of wind and rain of unusual violence visited Lincoln and vicinity between 5 and 6 o’clock this evening. Only minor damage was done in the city, but reports from country districts are that many out- houses were unroofed and windmills torn down. No serious injury or-loss of life oc- curred so faras is known. B —_— Met Death With a Smile. HELENA, MoxT., April 7.—Contrary to all expectations William Biggerstaff, the colored murderer of Dick Johnson, died this morning on the gallows like a man. He met death with a smile on his face. Biggerstaff killed Dick Johnson, the cham- ion prize-fighter of Montana, on Jmfiae' {‘895. in a quarrel overa white woman, his mistress. Biggerstaff always claimed the killing was accidental. i Appeals handed down a decision to-day, | building and possibly adjoining ones will | ANOTHER HEN ON. s NS A OLYMPIC GAMES AT FAIR ATHENS, One Hundred Thousand Go to Witness the Great Events.

ATHENS, GrEeece, April 7.—This was the second day of the Olympic games and the interest in.their revival showed no | sign of diminution. On the contrary, there was more enthusiasm displayed than was shown yesterday and the crowd that witnessed the various events was enor- mous. The stadion was crowded to its ut- | most capacity and the surrounding hills | were again packed with masses of human- | ity desirous of seeing the tests of athletic skill and endurance. The King, Crown Princeand other mem- bers of the royal family were again pres- ent, as were also all the notables of Greece and many from foreign countries. estimated that to-day fully 100,000 persons witnessed = the games. ‘' The weather was perfect ‘and the grounds were in far better condition than they were yesterday. The contestants are becoming more familiar with their sur- roundings, and this adds greatly to their self-confidence. The American contest- ants who covered themselves with glory yesterday .did- well ‘to-day, and .it is the general opinion that they will win several of the final honors. One thing is believed to have been established, and that is that the future of the Olympic games has beén decided, and that they will henceforth take their place among the noted events in the athletic world even though they are not held on the classic grounds of Greece. The first heat of the 110 meters hurdle race was woh by Goulding, an English- men, in 18 2-5 seconds. The second heat was won by T. P. Curtis of the Boston Athletic Association in 18 seconds.

The 400-meter race on the flat was won by Thomas E. Burke of the Boston Ath- letic Association. His time was 54 1-5 sec- onds. H. B. Jamison of Princeton Uni- versity was second. The next event on the programme was putting the weight. Captain Garrett won, scoring 11.22 meters. The Greek champion, Gouskos, was second, scoring 11.03 meters.

LONDON, ENG., April 7.—The Morning Post will to-morrow publish a dispatch from Constantinople saying that the Reyv. | George P.

Phraseology May Be Changed to Suit Both Miners and Valley Men. FAVORED BY GOVERNOR BUDD. Has No Objection to Expending the Money Legally Provided for the Work. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 7.—Robert T. Devlin of Sacramento came here to op- pose the appropriation of $250,000 for re- straining works on the Yuba River, and is now working to that end, but he is not hopeful of success, as the bill has passed the House, and will not be changed in the Senate unless it is in a mere matter of phraseology. The ‘“‘river men’ at Marysville to-day telegraphed the California delegation, ask- ing that a change be made in this item so as.to provide thet such a dam shall be erected only to restrain the debris now in the hills. It is possible that Mr. Ford, representing the miners, and Mr. Deviin may be able to agree upon phraseology that will suit both miners and valley men, though no understanding has yet been reached. There is no doubt but that the $250,000 appropriation will pass the Senate. The full text of that part of the river and harbor bill relating to the SBacramento di- vision and tributaries is as follows: “For jmproving the Sacramento and Feather rivers and their tributaries—The Secretary of War is hereby authorized and directed to appoint a board, consisting of three engineers of the United States army, for the purpose of making surveys and ex- aminations of said rivers and submit the most feasible plan for the improvement of said rivers and maintenance of navigation thereon; said board may, under the direc- tion of said Secretary of War, expend any balance now remaining to the credit of said rivers for the improvemant of the same after deducting the expense of saxd surveys and examinations.” The balance is $146,000. The second paragraph runs as follows: “For construction of restraining barriers for the protection of the Sacramento and Feather rivers in California, $250,000; such restraining barriers to be constructed un- der the direction of the Secretary of War in acccrdance with the recommendations of the California Debris Commission for the purpose set forth in sections 23, 24 and 25 of the act entitled *An act to create the California Debris Commission and regu. late hydraulic mining in the State of Calfornia, approved March 1, 1893; provided, that said sum should be available only on condition that the Leg- islature of California should have appro- priated at least an equal sum for the pur- pose herein set forth, to be expended in accordance with the recommendations of engineers of the United States Govef:— ment.”’ el oo v oty ¥AVORED BY THE GOVERNOR. Not Opposed to the Improvement of Cali- fornia Rivers. Governor Budd was interviewed yes- terday regarding the appropriation of $250,000 just passed in the House for /| thhe Amalgamated Association. building works to stop the flow of debris from hydraulic mines to the rivers of Cali- fornia. He said: “Iam in favor of the measure and want to correct the report which quotes me as opposed to the expenditure of a like sum appropriated by the Legislature of this State in1893. When I was in Congress I introduced a bill to appropriate $500,000 for this purpose. “As I understana the measure which passed the House yesterday, the money allowed by the Government is to be ex- pended by the United States engineers, but our State appropriation gives the direction of the expenditure to the Debris Commissioners. It may be necessary to amend in the Senate the provision which has just received the samction of the House. Our State approoriation was made with a condition that Congress should allow an equal amount, and it has therefore been unavailable. Now it will become available, if the bill in Congress becomes a law. ‘“The money appropriated by this State was collected and paid into the general fund of the treasury in 1893, but has since been paid out on warrants drawn on that fund. Still that cuts no figure, as other moneys coming into the general fund may be used. The Legislature should have provided a special fund for that particular purpose. “When the Legislature meets it may become necessary to amend the law au- thorizing the State appropriation, so as to conform to Congressional requirements. Iwant it ta be made known, however, that [ am not opposed to the use of the State money for the purpose contem- plated.” STRUCK A GLANCING BLOW. The Steamer Bell Arden Is Crippled by a Collision With the Fries- land. QUARANTINE, 8. I, April 7.—The steamer Bell Arden of the Lamport and Holt line, while outwardbound this even- ing, collided off Owls Head buoy with the steamer Friesland, which was just leaving Bedloes Island. The Friesland did not appear to be injured and proceeded to her dock. The Bell Arden was struck a glancing blow on the port side abaft midships and returned to Néw York. Her plates were bent on the water line, but the hole was below water and could not be seen. No person on board the Bell Arden was hurt, but the main shrouds, the davits of the after life boat on the port side and the stanchions of the awning deck were car- ried away. Captain Davis of the Bell Arden says the Friesland was not kept under control. e T EMPLOYES TO COMBINE. Federation of the 4. R. U. With the Street Railway Men. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 7.—The reported federation of the Amalgamated Association of Street Railway Employes and the American Railgay Union . was confirmed to-day by (heiucal leaders of The fed- eration is upon an offensive and defen- fensive basis, but to just what extent the organizations will be prepared to assist one another cannot be learned. It is said that the leaders of the two organizations are now negotiating with the chiefs of the Brotherhoods of Locomotive Engineers, Firemen and Railway Trainmen for the formation of one great federation of street and steam railway employes. e i Attempted Suicide.

PITTSBURG, Pa., April 7.—Dick Whit- tington, who started from San Francisco some time ago to push a wheelbarrow around the elobe on a $10,000 wager, is in the West Pennsylvania Hospital here suffering from a bad attack of the grip. DENOUNCED BY BOWERS, Agreement on Aay Funding Bill Declared a Barefaced Robbery. Under the “Gag,” However, the Scheme May Be Railroaded Tkrough Congress, WASHINGTON, D. C., April 7.—Rep- resentative Bowers saia to-day: “The agreement of the Pacific Railroads Committee on the funding bill means that at least the Union and Central managers (or perhaps to speak correctly, Mr. Hunt- 1ngton) have agreed to a bill and submitted it to the committee. The details are a matter of small importance; the vital part is that the roads are to be relieved from paying their debts. The Government is to go on paying interest on its bonds, bor- rowing money at 4 per cent and loaning it to these corporations for fifty or more years at 2 per cent, and at that time this debt will be more than doubled and no more security than now. ‘It is the most -barefaced and moustrous scheme of robbery of the people of the United States. There is no necessity for Congressional legislation .at this time to preserve any of the rights or securities of the United States in the matter. ' The Thurman law provided for the collection of the debt by the usual process of law and any funding bill is solely in the interests and for the benefit of a few millionaires. The report of the Secretary of the Interior shows beyond any doubt that if the Gov- ernment proceeds as it is empowered now to do, and commences action against these defaulting roads and places them at once in the hands of a receiver, the receipts will pay allrunning expenses, all interest on the United States bonds that is now paid yearly by the Government and leave a sur- plus of over §2,000,000 per year to apply on the debt; that instead of being a source of expense they would become a source of revenue. s “It is astounding that any such out- rageous scheme can have any standing in the Congress of the United States. Ifsuf- ficient time was given the opponents of the bill to show it up I do not think it could pass, but the signs all portend that an attempt will- be made to railroad it through under the ‘gag,’ as the river and harbor bill was. If it is it will damn this Congress for all time.” MURDERED BY SONORA GUIDES, Treacherous Mexicans Hack a San Jose Gambler to Pieces. KILLED FOR HIS GOLD, Tragic End of the Checkered Career of C. J. Doyle, a Confidence Man, WAS FLEEING FROM JUSTICE' Men Engaged to Lead Him Out of the Country Kill Him While He Sleeps. PORTLAND, Or., April 7.—A little less than a year ago there came to Portland from San Francisco C. J. Doyle, who soon was discovered by the detectives o be an expert confidence operator, a ‘‘sure-thing’ man and a fake sprinter. He was arrested several times on vagrancy charges to irighten him out of town, and eventually the police succeeded in ridding the city of him. Doyle had a handsome and prepos- sessing countenance, but morally he was corrupt, and now he lies in an unmarked grave in Mexico. Detective Welsh to day received a letter from Sonora, accompanied by a ghastly photo;raph of Doyle showing his appearance after having been treach- erously cut to death. Two weeks ago Doyle “flimflammed” a Sonora Mexican out of $50 and the police were at once placed oa his track. The culprit, knowing that he would receive no mercy if apprehended, hired two other Mexicans to guide him out of the country. Doyle’s guides, believing that he had got- ten away with a much larger sum than he ectually did, murdered him the first night out while he was asleep near the Sonora line. The photograph received here is evidence that the treacherous guides literally hacked their victim into pieces. The letter adds that, while the guides were yet engsged in their bloody work the mounted police in pursuit of Doyle came upon them and arrested them. They were taken back to Sonora, where, in ail probability, they will speédily be executed. Doyle had no reason to be a criminal, for he was a member of a respectabie family in San Jose, Cal., which always supplied bim with ample means, and it is said saved him from going to San Quentin on two oceasions. But he was .instinctively a thief. When he came here he brought with hun from the bay a dashing and seemingly refined young woman, whom he at first passed off as nis wife. In his nurried departure from this city he left her behind without a dollar. The woman subsequently disclosed the fact that she had not been wedded to Doyle. CANNERY FOR FRESNO, San Francisco Concern to Remove to the Raisin District. FRESNO, CAL., April 7.—Fresno at last is about to acquire a much-needed can- nery. This institution is to come from San Francisco, where it has been in opera- tion for some time. The cannery will give employment to 300 or 400 women, girls and boys, with a weekly payroll of about $1500. "It has an estimated capacity of 120, 000 cases for the season. There is no doubt that the concern, as it now exists in San Francisco, is to be moved to Fresno immediately. There will be meetingsof the Hundred Thousand Club and the Chamber of Commerce Thursday night, and also a meeting of the Fresno County Horticultural Society on Saturday, when the matter will be dis- cussed and committees appointed to make all necessary arrangements for the enter- prise.
