DALLAS, Tex., June 3.—A special to the News from Shreveport, La., says: A thousand people gathered at Doy- line, on the Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific Railroad, about eighteen miles from here, to witness the burning at the stake of William Street, a negro, who outraged Mrs. Parish. The crime was committed on the night of May 30. The people erected a post near the railroad track near the town and laid | the light wood and kindling, saturated with coal oil, preparatory to chaining Street to the post. Street was a negro, about 28 years of age. He confessed the crime to a colored minister, but said | a colored minister named John Rhodes | was implicated.

Surgical Care. On account of the t.ctics employed by the Cuban forces and the division made in them, together with the fact that small bands often operate alone, there is not a sufficient number of doctors to properly attend to the wounded. "One doctor, and in some cases two, are as- signed to an entire division. These doc- tors appoint assistants from the men in the ranks, who, after a little instruc- tion, are given a few bandages, cotton, to the various regiments in the division. These men are expected to give the first aid to the wounded and administer such medicines as they may have when they are required, but even then it often happens that they are not present when the men are wounded, and it is neces- sary to take them many miles on horse- back, or in hammocks hung on a long pole before their wounds are dressed. Owing to this delay small wounds often prove very serious. After their wounds are attended to they are taken as soon as practicable to one of the many small hospitals in the woods, where they are given every attention possible under the circumstances. These hospitals are nothing more than deserted country houses, with beds made by driving forked sticks into the ground, two at the head and two at the foot; a heavy stick is then laid in each pair of the works, and thin sticks, laid lengthwise of the bed, rest on these. The frame is then covered with banana leaves and, if possible to procure it, a sheet completes the bed. These hospitals are in charge of a practicante, but under the general su- pervision of the doctor, who visits them as often as possible; and in some cases, crackling flameg, shot up in succession above his head. | The flames were started at 1 o'clock. It was a sickening sight, which lasted ten minutes.

COMMITTEE MINORITY UPHELD SILVER BULLION TO BE COINED IN LIEU OF SEIGNIORAGE. Two Most Important and Significant Votes Taken in Connection With the War Revenue Measure. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. Call Office, Riggs House, Washington, June 3. ‘While the war revenue meagure was not passed by the Senate to-day, two very important votes were taken, one on a proposition to coin the silver bul- lion in the Treasury and to issue sil- ver certificates against the coin, and the other on the bond proposition, pre- sented by the Republican minority of the committee on finance. In lieu of the seigniorage amendment offered by the majority of the Finance Commit- tee, Wolcott (R.) of Colorado proposed an amendment authorizing the Secre- | centuries ago, but when the dollars. It is undignified and unbefitting o Benator of the United States to stand in ks piace on this floor and suggest that the com- mission spent money it was not justified ln spending. 1 am getting tired of hearing that sort of suggestions from the Senator frotk Nebraska. It is not the first, the second ot the third time he has thrown them out. Through him they are belng circulated in the West by means of ‘“the patent insiders” which constitute the bone and sinew and most of the brains of the Populist party. I suppose at some crossroads in Nebraska, where nothing is known of Europe except that it is on the map of the world, some people of the Senator's kind have gotten together and resolved that no country except the United States is enlightened enough to have ideas on the money qu They aré not aware that the great leaders of thought in England, France and Germany favored bimetallism Dore than a quarter of a century before the Populist party or the Senator from Nebraska were ‘ever heard of. Fortunately, however, the himetallists of Europe are not hampered in_their work by long-haired cranks, who clog the progress of eniightened financial legisla~ tion in this country. Allen made a very brief reply to Wol- cott, speaking calmly and coolly. He ex- plained that he had not charged the commission with extravagance or with having squandered the money appro- priated. What he did say, he insisted, was that the appropriation was made when it was evident that the effort to be made would be a failure. He contended, there- fore, that the money should not have been expended at all.” Yet, because he had held that belief, and held it now, he was, he said, made the subject of the Colorado Senator’s sophomoric philippics. He was not, he concluded, afraid of the Senator 'l (Wolcott) in the Senate or elsewhere. An effort was then made by Allison to effect an arrangement whersby a vote might be taken this evening, but it was unsuccessful. The consensus of opinion was that an adjournment until to-morrow would facilitate the final disposition of the measure. After agreeing to meet at 11 o'clock . to-morrow the Senate, at o'clock, went into executive session, and soon afterward ad, ‘CRUELTY OF THE SPANTARDS. We need not recall the histori$ bar- barities of the old conquistadors like Cortez and Pizarro, the horrors of the Duke of Alva’s rule in the Nétherlands when It was subject to Spain, or the abominable iricidents of the expulsion | of the ‘Moors.

The amendment as agreed to follows: That the Secretary of the Treasury shall im- mediately cause to be coined as fast as pos- sible into standard silver dollars, to an amount of not less than $4,000,000 per month, which shall be of like welght and fineness and of like legal tender and quality as those provided for un- der_existing law, all the silver bullion now held in the treasury. That the Secretary of the Treasury Is au- thorized and directed to issue. as sald silver is coined silver certificates of similar design and denominations and of the same quality, pavable and redeemeble in like manner as those authorized by law, to the amount of the ain or seigniorage derived from the purchases of silver bullion by the Treasury under the act of July 16, 180, until the sum of $42,000,000 ve been issued. - St ail sald moneys S0 cotned, including the amounts of the gains or selgniorage so colned, all be used bath for the redemption of the Treasury notes heretofore issued under and by virtue of the act of July 14, 1350, and for the redemption of the certificates issued under this act. Aldrich moved to strike out the com- mittee amendment providing for the issue of legal tender notes and substitute the bond provision offered by the Republican minority of the Finance Committee. Upon this motion he demanded the ayes and 1t was carried, 45 to 31 Chandler offered his amendment in- serting a declaration that the policy of the United States is not to commit the country more thoroughly to the singl old standard, but that the efforts of the overnment shall be steadily Wirected to coin both silver and gold as standard money. % Stewart offered as an‘amendment to Chandler's amendment a provision that no bonds issued under this act shall be used as a basis of bank currency. Morgan gave notice of an amendment directing the Secretary of the Treasury to enforce those provisions of the income tax of 1894 not expressly declared by the Supreme Court's decision to be unconsti- tutional, Morgan spoke in support of the amend- ment and attacked the national banks, which, he declared, were behind the con- gpiracy to force a bond issue upon the people. The amendment offered by Stewart was laid on the table, on motion of Mr. Chandler, 44 to 2. Hoar proposed an amendment to be add- ed to Chandler's amendment, as follows: “And to this end to relax no effort to se- cure the co-operation of the principal commercial nations of the world.” The amendment was agreed to, 35 to 33. In the course of some remarks upon bi- metallism Allen of Nebraska took a reminiscent turn and discussed at length the work of the International Bimetallism Commission. He declared their work had been a failure and that no good had ever been exrected to come from it, and that international bimeétallism was a delusion and a snare. An appropriation of $100,000 had been made for the commission, which ‘had traveled throughout Europe on a mis- sion which was foredoomed to fallure. Wolcott, who was president of the Bi- metallic Commission; listened attentively to Mr. Allen’s remarks. He was evidently indignant, and he took the floor to re- ply to his criticisms. He said: It is not pleasant to a self-respecting man to meet_such suggestions as have been made by the Senator jrom Nebraska. This debate has taken a turn which I deprecate, and 1 would not now occupy a moment of the Senate's time, which ought to be devoted to the con- sideration of the pending bill, were it not that I desire to inform the Senator from Nebraska that the three commissioners a) pointed by the President spent more than six months in Europe traveling where their duties took them. They were accompanied by a secretary, and the entire expense of the ‘work locomgliahed was only $16,00.

The demand for an additional body | guard around the White House recalls an incident of the Clvil. V/ar within the memory. of many residents. During the exciting period of 1861 great fears were entertained for the safety of the Pres- ident and every precaution was taken to insure his personal protection. One morning there appeared at the White House a woman, closely veiled, demanding an Iimmediate interview with Mr. Lincoln. Approaching Mes- senger Perkins, who guarded the door of Mr. Lincoln’s private office, the vis- itor made known her request, and | pleaded earnestly that she be admitted to a personal interview. The.door- keeper’s orders were, however, very strict, and finding her eloquence all in vain, she finally compromised by con- fiding her message to the courteous biut firm employe. Taking him to one side, the veiled lady seized both his hands and tenderly rubbed them as she ex- tracted a promise that he would im- mediately deliver her request to the President. Perkins was almost over- come by a peculiar odor that appeared to emanate from his companion, and hastened to get rid of her without cre- ating a scene. ¥ No sooner had he accomplished this than he confided to. one of the official household the effect produced upon him while in conversation with the importu- nate visitor. A physician ‘who was present promptly divined.the truth and | instituted a search for the - woman, when 1t was learned that she had driv- en rapidly away in a carriage, and all trace was lost. Perkins was immedi- await developments. ‘Within the usual period he was taken 11l with one of the worst cases of viru- lent smallpox on record, and for weeks lay at the point of death. - “Upon his re- covery the faithful messenger, whose devotfon to duty doubtless saved the life of the President, was appointed to a permanent position' on the clerical force of the War Department, which | office he has continued to hold up -to date, being one of the most efficient clerks on the rol ‘Washington Post. —_—————————— CUBA’S TOBACCO INDUSTRY. Nope of the native inhabitants of Cuba or the refugees. in this country will welcome the fréedom of the island so gladly as the tobacco planters and cigar manufacturers.. T which furnished a means of livelihood to a large proportion of -the inhabi- tants of the three pravinces of Pinar del Rio, Havana and Matanzas, h: been brought to a complete standst by the present war. The Spaniards in the fulfillment of their pdlicy of de- vastation have destroyed the planta- tions, and upon the smoking ruins of the farmhouses have left notices warn- ing the proprietors against any at- tempt to cultivate the forbidden crop in the future. In the city of Havana the manufac- turers, who ar~ almost’exclusively Cu- bans, have been compelled to give up the manufacture of cigars, wot only through lack of material, but because of General Weyler's edict arainst the export of tobacco in any form. The result has been that there are now but two factories ot work in the city, and they are engaged merely in making cigars for the Spa-’ h grandees and such of the Cuban inhabitants as can afford to pay the exorbitant prices de- manded. Before the war began there were over 400 cigar manufacturers in the city of Havana, who each employed between 500 and 700 men, and many smaller Jobbers, each of whom gave employ- ment to thirty or forty men and girls. As an instance of the way in which the business has L n ecrippled, one of the largest clzar manufacturers Havana turned out *-“-re the war 350,- 000 a day.
