New York, July 1. El Ponrenir, the
Cuban revolutionary paper published in
New York, contains a letter which was
brought from Cuba by one of the re-
ugeee, who arrived on tie steamer San
'tiago. The letter, which was smuggled
from Maceo's camp, is dated June 10,
and signed by Juan Marpon y Franco,
secretary of General Antonio Maceo,
who was in Las Parras, between Tunas
and Holguin. The secretary states that
entering into Puerto Principe was a de
cisive blow in the cause of victory. .- At
the time of, writing, he .adds, prepara
tions are being made for the reorganiza
tion of the provisional government. As
Senor Tomas Estrada Palma is likely to
e called upon to fill the place left va
cant by the death of brave Marti, Senor
Manuel Banguily is the ohoice of the
delegates for the presidency.
The candidate for president is the
-writer and soldier, Senor Sanguily, who
is imprisoned in the fortress of La
Cabana, in Havana; Maceo's secretary
has sent a communication to Mr. San
guily, notifying him of his probablo
nomination. The Cubans in the camp
are greatly pleased with the choice of
Estrada Palma as Martl's successor.
Private telegraphic advices from Cuba
state that a spy sent by the Spaniards
to kill Gomes was recently hanged to a
tree and a sign was pinned to his clothes
with these words: "For being a traitor
to his country."

Story of His Crime.
Seldom, if ever before in the history
of criminal procedure in this country,
has there been such a determined and
untiring legal fight made to save or
prolong the life of a condemned mur
derer as that which has been made itt
behalf of Dr. Robert "W. Buchanan, the
convicted wife poisoner. Buchanan hm
practically been on the threshold of
the death cell no .less than three timet
since he was sentenced. On two oi!
these occasions his life was prolonged
by the clemency of Governor Mortoa,
who granted a respite of one week at
the earnest solicitation of the prison
er's wife, and the other respite owing to
legal technicalities, among others an ap
peal to the suprome court and the Brit
ish ambassador, Sir Julian Pauncefote.
Dr. Robert W. Buchanan was born of
Scotch parents on Oct. 17, J862, and be
gan business as a drug clerk in Halifax,
N. S., shortly after he left school. "When
a little over 2J years of age he gradu
ated from the College of Physiriansiaad
Surgeons in Chicago. He returned
Halifax and soon afterwards married
Miss Helen J. Pattersoa, a young wsm
an of good family. Subsequently
Buchanan, accompanied by his wiftr,
went to Edinburgh, Scotland, fdra
course at that city's celebrated univer
sity. Tho doctor and his family
turned to this country in 1887 aadfse ti
tled down in New York City. Debte
accumulated rapidly and the yoang
physician began drinking.
In 1890, his wife, whom he' accused ef
faithlessness, separated from him, leav
ing their child in his charge. After
this separation Buchanan met a woman
named Annie Sutherland, who had
kept a house of ill repute in Newark,
and she became infatuated with him.
He secured a divorce from his first wife
and married the Sutherland womaa ia
1890. This woman, who was reputed
to be very wealthy, made and signed a
will in the doctor's favor.
On April 22, 1892, his second wife
took sick suddenly. A doctor was called
in, and Buchanan told him his wife had
kidney trouble. A dentist's wife and a
professional nurse who attended the
woman saw Buchanan administer two
sooonfuls of medicine to tho sack
woman that evening, and on the follow
ing evening, April 23, Mrs. Buchanan -died
while Buchanan was absent oa a
professional call.
At the funeral ne laugnea ana joxea
with those who accompanied him to the
cemetery, and told many people that the
dead woman had left him $40,000. Oa
the 10th of May he secretly remarried
his divorced wife at Windsor, x. o.
They went to New York and lived a
the Hotel Hamilton under tasaed
names. As the facts leaked out throaga
the newspapers Buchanan became
frightened and spread the report saa
the deceased woman was aaaicwaw
the morphine habit.
On June 6th the body was aisiners
and an autopsy held. Tne xouowiag
dav Buchanan was arrested. The trial,
which was a very sensational one, was
