HOT FIGHTING NEAR CABANAS Life Imprisonment in Chains the Fate That Threatens an American Citizen. HAVANA, Cusa, Nov. 5.—Information bas been received here of the capture of the town of Quaimaro, in the province of Puerto Principe, by the rebels, who have Dbesieged the place since October 10, mak- ing a number of attacks upon the town and its stronghold, Fort Reus, in the mean- time. The Spanish in the course of the fighting in defense of the place had eight | men killed and four officers, including a ! major, and eighteen privates wounded. The fort and the town were captured by the insurgents on October 28, and it is said that the garrison was obliged to surrender | owing to their lack of officers. General Gonzales Muanoz reports that his | command has had an engagement with | the rebels under Perico Delgado and Diaz | at Manelito, near Cabanas, province of | Pinar del Rio. The rebels held strong positions in the | hills,but were dislodged after several com- | bats in which General Inclan assisted Gen- | eral Munoz. The troops captured a num- | ber of cattle. The losses of the rebels are not given but are believed to have been heavy. The Spaniards lost two killed and a captain, lieutenant and twenty-two pri- vates wounded. In the case of Luis Someillan, an Amer- ican citizen,who is charged with rebellion, the Attorney-General to-day asked that he be sentenced to life imprisonment in chains. The representatives of the Amer- ican Government will appeal against such a sentence. Itis rumored that Maceo was seriously injured in his last engagement with the Spanish troops, but the rumor finds no | credence among the Cubans here. A e X 4 PLUCKY YANKEE SKIPPER, Refused to Surrender a Passenger on Weyler’s Demand. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 5.—Captain MclIntosh of the steamer Vigilancia, which arrived to-day, reluctantly told the | story of General Weyler's attempt to take | a passenger from his vessel and having {ailed to do so. He said that no threat that he knew of was made to fire upon his craft unless he gave the man up. The passenger. he said, was Antonio Escalante, who boarded the vessel at this eity and was bound for Vera Cruz. The man claimed to be an American citizen. When at Havana the Chief of Police of that city came aboard and said that Gen- eral Weyler had received a letter from this city (New York) that Escalante was a Spanish subject and was on his way to Mexico to escape military duty, and on the strength of that communication Gen- eral Weyler demanded the surrender of the man. 4 Captain McIntosh told the Chief of | Police that unless Consul-General Lee ! consented to the man's surrender he would not give him up without a fight. His vessel was then lying in Havana bar- bor. He was advised that General Lee had refused to surrender the man and he was not molested again. e McKINLEY'S « UBAN POLICY.

Property Owned by Lady Henry Somer- set Condemned and Dilapidated. LONDON, Exc., Nov. 5—Lady Henry Somerset has once again come into public notice as the owner of a tract of zround at Somerstown, a neighborhood within the limits of London, and which is covered with old dilapidated dweliings. The authorities have officially declared the region a ‘‘condemnéd insanitary area,’” but there appears to be no law under which the structures can be razed or the tenants compelled to seek other quarters. The place bascome into notice from the fact that five inquests have been beld within the last month upon people who have diea suddenly or from accident with- in the area. 1t is not claimed that Lady Somerset is directly responsible for existing condi- tions, but it is contended that in view of her considerable wealth it would be an easy matter for her to buy off the present Jessees of her ground and cause the pol- luted buildings to be either razed or recon- structed. ——— Royalty Wedded Before Royalty.

She Is Pleased and May B: Given an Allowance by the Republic. KILAUEA IN VIOLENT ACTION. Pardon for Portuguese Rioters Re- fused—Minister Coopsr En Route to the United States. HONOLULU, Hawam, Oct. 20.—In a mecting on the 23d inst. of the Council of State with the executive it was voted unanimously to extend fuil pardon to the ex-Queen Liliuokalani. The proceedings were as follows: President Dole said the Minister of For- eign Affairs had another matter to bring up. Minister Cooper—On account ot the up- rising in January, 1895, a8 number of Ha- waiians and others.were brought before a military commission, tried, convicted and sentenced. Among the number was Liliu- okalani, the ex-Queen, who was sentenced to five years’ imprisonment and to paya fine of $5000. She was confined to the ex- ecutive building until September 9 of the same year, when the Government saw fit to release her, ana she returned to her home at Washington place. The conditions of this release were that she would permit no assembiages at Washington place, and should have not more than thirteen male and eight female retainers at a time. In February last the privileges were ex- tended to permission to visit anywhere on Oahu, but not to leave the island without Government sanction. All these condi- tions, I am able to report, have been faith- fully followed, and the prisoner has shown herself in every way obedient to the new order. The executive, after carefully con- sidering the matter, unanimously decided to grant Lilinokalani full pardon and com- plete restoration of civil rights. We ask your approval of this course. Minister Damon—I second what the Minister has said. 1 feel thatit voices the | sentiments of the executive, the Council and the people. The past is history. | With its mistakes and its good deeds it is | gone. A new era of greater prosperity and entire harmony is opening before us. Let us do all we can to make this one country, one people and let the past be forgotten. Councilor Brown—I move that we adopt | the recomuiendation of the executive. Councilor Ena—>Mr. President, I taka great pleasure in offering a second to the motion, The motion prevailed by a unanimous vote, whereupon the meeting adjourned. The ex-Queen was at her Waikiki cot- }iugn. and it was not until the 27.h that | the President’s aid, Major Potter, was | able to visit her and convey the document | following: I, Sanford B. Dole, President of the Republic of the Hawaiian Islands, moved by just causes made known to me and being thereto | advised by the Cabinet and Council of State, | do hereby, in accordence with the power 1u me vested, grant unto Liliuokalani, who was found guiliy of the crime of misprision of treason by a milltary commission duly con- vened, and seutenced to imprisonment at hard labor for the term of five years, to date from the 9th day of February, D. 1895, and 10 pay a fine of $500Q, which sentence was ap- proved by the commander-in-chief, and which sentence was subsequently modified, a full and free pardon and restoration 1o her civil rights. In witness whereof 1 have hereunto set my hand and caused the great seal of the Repub- {’l‘(‘:“ofll‘ lhfia};l wl ble I(Exctz’. ldt :ihe executive ng in Honolulu, this 2 AT is 23d day ot Octo- This document was signed by the Presi- dent and the four Ministers. Major Potter said: ‘It gives me, madam, very great pleasure to hand you this paper.” Liliuokalani took the paper, put on her spectacles and read it carefully through. She then turned to Major Potter with a smile, saying, *“It gives me very great pleasure, indeed, to receive this.’”’ Potter then retired. Itis believed that the executive would not be adverse to granting the ex-Queen a moderate allowance, like that given to Kaiulani. That will depend upon the views taken by the Legislature of 1898, Nothing has been said vt any proposed pardon of the other persons who were con- victed on account of the uprising of 1895, The executive will probably deem it ex- pedient to continue the restrictions upon them, _The Council negatived a number of pe- titions for the pardon of five Portuguese rioters who were sentenced to thirty days’ imprisonment. . The President and Cabinet this morn- ing were down to the steamship Miowera 1o see Minister Cooper off for Vancouver., He takes with him the official stenog- rapher and will be gone three months partly on private business.

The buliet entered the chest near the rezion of the heart. Mr. Blake lingered throughout the night in a semi-conscious state, but it'1s the belief of the attending physicians that he cannot live. Noone can explain how or why Mr. Blake shot him- self, and he did not recover consciousness after the shooting long enough to explain. His friends will not admit that he en- deavored to take his life, claiming that he had no reason to feel discontented, and that he was a man of cheerful disposition. They say that the shooting was doubtless an accident, and that the revolver was discharged as Mr. Blake was removing his overcoat. i CHICAGO STOCK EXCHANGE, 1t Has Reopened After a Temporary Ce sation of Business CHICAGO, Irv, Nov.5.—The Chicago Stock Exchange, which has been closed since August 4, as a result of the failure of the Moore Bros. and the ensuning com- plications in which Diamond Match and New York Biscuit stocks were involved, reopened to-day by order of the govern- ing committee, and a large number of members and operators gathered in Ex- chanpe Hall this morning. There were no developments in th- opening hour, but it is expected that, as a result of the condi- tions under which the exchange was sud- denly closed, there will be a number of small failures and sales under the rules. These, however, will have no affect upoa the situation except to clear up the atmos- phere. i S LOVER'S QUAKREL, This One Ended in the Murder of a Chicago Girt, CHICAGO, ItL, Nov. 5.—Kate Thorn- ton, aged 23, was shot and instantly killed this morning in her room at a boarding- house at 1330 Michigan avenue, by Charles Carlson.

Expresses Gratification Because of California’s Blow at Bryanism. SARCASM AIMED AT JONES. The Democratic Manager’s Claims Arouse the Mirth of the Maineite. DEL MONTE, CAL., Nov. 5.—Thomas B. Reed arrived here yesterday on a spe- cial train from San Francisco and is en- joying to the fullest extent the rest and quiet he has found at this beautiful resort. His daughter, who has been her father’s companion during his speechmaking tour of the United States, accompanied him. The rest of the party are Senator C. N. Felton, J. F. Aldrich and wife of Chicago, James Barney, Major Ba; U.S A,J. A Fillmore and F. 8. Douty. After the visitors had partaken of luncheon at the hotel they were taken for adrive through the Del Monte grounds and the interesting old town of Monterey. Mr. Reed sat upon the box seat and thoroughly enjoyed the drive and the sightseeing. In Monterey he was en- thusiastically cheered us he passed. In the afternoon a delegation consisting of the town council of Monterey and a large number of the leading citizens called upon him at the hotel. He talked of the issues of the campaign, of Republicanism in general and of many subjects of interest to California. His conversation surprised them, for he demonstrated that he knew as much about their own State as did the na- tive Californians. During the evening ex-Assemblyman S. J. Duckworth showed to Mr. Reed a tele- gram received from J. R. Jones, chairman of the National Democratic Committee, which was to the effect that Bryan and Jones would not give up the fight, for they could not understand how the States they had counted upon so positively could have gone for McKinley. When Mr. Reed read it, he smiled, and remarked: *If that were all that our friends Bryan and Jones did not understand they wouid be better off. The issues of the campaign even seem beyond them.’” The Nicaragua canal question was tounched upon as to the advisability of the enterprise and the possibility of its early commencement afier this election. Mr. Reed said: “Well, we had better wait until we get a little ahead on revenues; then there will be plenty of time for that scheme.” This morning the party was driven over the celebrated Seventeen-mile drive, and both Mr. Reed and his daunguter were greatly impressed with its beauties. As the coach passed through Monterey and Pacific Grove, crowds of citizens gathered on the principal streets and cheered vocif- erously. Mr. Reed, from his seat on the box, bowed and smiled. Mr. Reed was to-night asked his opin- “ion as to whether Tuesday’s election had effeciively crushed the fiat money agita- tion, and whether he believed the Demo- crats would ever again accept fusion proposals from the Populists, “Now, I will tell you,” said Mr. Reed, *I would be glad to tell—and especially regarding those questions—all about the outcome, but with the data at hand now it is indeed a very vague question.’’ He was asked as regards the result of the election, if it was as he expected it would be. “Yes,” said Mr. Reed, “the general re- sult is as I expected. I was noi surprised at the vote cast by the several States, but 1 will say 1 was [;grncplnrly pleased with the result in California. Maryland was gratifying, too. The yet doubtiul States will, I believe, fall into line just as soon as the returns from remote precincts are more definize.” ‘When asked if he would prolong his visit in California, he said: *'I leave here to-morrow and will visit Mount Hamil- ton. Then 1 think I will proceed directly home.” ‘ The Reed party will leave to-morrow morning at 8 o’clock on a special train. They will stop at San Jose, remaining there two days, when they wiil viait Mount Hamilton, and then will proceed to San Francisco. ——— OAKLAND GETS THE BANNER, Leads Los Angeles as the Star Republi- ean County of This State.

PORTLAND, Or., Nov. 5.—The con- ditions of one of the most ludicrous election bets ever made were carried out at Oregon City to-day. Charles A. Fitch, editor of a Populist paper of that place, and A. Tiizer, a Portland druggist, wagered that in the event of McKinley's election, the Populist was to submit 1o a ublic drenching from a hydrant and fire ose on the principal street of Oregon City.
