NO EUROPEAN OBJECTIONS.
REPORTS OF SPANISH AID
IN CUBA FALSE.
DENIED AT WASHINGTON.
Congressman and Senator-Elect Money
of Mississippi to Visit Cuba and
Make a Personal Investigation
and Interview General Wey
ler—Captain General's
Latest Interview.
Washington, Dec. 28.—It is denied
officially and authoritatively that any
European government either directly
or indirectly has made any representa
tions whatever to the United States to
restrain or prevent its free action in
connection with the Cuban insurrec
tion. A similar report was denied by
authority several weeks ago. A. Von
Bruening, secretary of the Herman em
bassy, said that so far as the embassy
here was concerned no such intimation
had been received, lie discredited the
whole story. “We have not heard a
word concerning Cuba.'’ said he. “for
three months.”
Senator-elect Money of Mississippi,
now a member of the Mouse foreign
affairs committee, proposes to leave
Tampa, Fla., next Saturday morning
for Havana, to remain a week or ten
days in Cuba. He will seek an audi
ence with Captain General Weyler and
will ask him to provide an escort and
a flog of truce, so that he can go into
the heart of the territory occupied by
the insurgents, with a view of finding
out what is going on, Mr. Money says
he iB determined to make as lengthy a
journey into the interior of Cuba as
his time will permit, and it is under
stood that he will endeavor to com
municate with the insurgents whether
Captain General Weyler grants him
permission or not. He realizes that it
will be a risky thing for him to proceed
on his own account if a permit is refused
him. However, he is so anxious to
have trustworthy information that he
will take the chances, even if he finds
himself later locked up in prison. It
is hiB intention to state frankly to the
captain general that he visits the
island because it is impossible to
procure from President Cleveland or
Secretary Olney any official informa
tion regarding the condition of affairs
in Cuba, and, as a member of Congress
and of the House committee on foreign
affairs, he wishes to know what he is
doing before he casts his vote for or
against any one of the several resolu
tions pending.
Mr. Money was an officer in the Con
federate army during the war under
General Forrest, and his four years’
service in the field whetted his interest
in military operations. lie thinks
that his visit will at least enable him
to learn more than he could by depend
ing on the State department for in
formation.
WEYLER TALKS.
Plnar dal Rio Rebels Dednrcd Helpless—
No Cruelty to Those Who Surrender.
New York, Dec. 2i.—A dispatch to
the Herald from Camp Arroyo Grande,
foot of the Rangel Hills, lMnar del Rio
province, December 2.r>, via Havana,
Cuba, says: “In an interview with your
correspondent, Captain Weyler said: "I
have twenty-six battalions, ranging
from 800 to 1,000 men each, occupying
all the hills of the province. These
columns have destroyed everything in
sight and have been able to subsist on
the cattle of the insurgents, which
were found grazing in the hills, and
with whose destruction died the re
maining hope of sustenance. They
must either starve or submit and some
may prefer to do the former, owing to
their remarkable apathy.’
“ ‘Hut why are there so few presen
tados, general, in other words, persons
willing to lay down their arms?’
“ ‘That point is easily cleared up. I
know that they have held meetings
with the idea of coming in as presen
tados, but have been told that I mur
der them all, which Is absurd, is it
not? Certainly 1 shall not harm them,
knowing that they hope to throw away
their arms and pose as pacificos.’
“ ‘You can tell pretty well by the
number of arms given up how many
have been concealed, can’t you?’
“ "I am not sure there are more
arms than there arc insurgents. They
show their desperate condition. I can
tell you that I know positively that
Maceo himself went three days with
out food bofore he was killed.’
‘“You still believe him dead?’
“‘Beyond a doubt, certainly. We
even know where his body is, but we
do not like to disinter it. as it would
savor too much of the profanation of a
grave.’
“ ‘Why has Arolas left the trocha
with 8,000 men to take part in the ac
tive campaign?’
'“Because the necessity for the
trocha as a defensive lino no longer ex
ists. There is, however, a considera
ble force there still—amply sufficient
for all present purposes.’
“ ‘De you expect to capture Rius
Rivera’
“ ‘I don't think Rivera will show
himself at all,’ said General Weyler.
‘We never hear from him, but some
times do one of the Ducasse brothers.’ ”

O’DONNELL WHIPPED.
Eullj Knocked Ont by Peter Mabel
In 87 Seconds.
New York, Dec. 28.—It took just
twenty-seven seconds’ time for Peter
Maher, the Irish pugilist, to again de
monstrate his superiority in ring
tactics and hard hitting qualities over
Steve O’Donnell, the Australian boxer,
in the arena of the Greater New York
Athletic Club at Coney Island. Both
men were in excellent condition and
trained to the hour. Each of them
was confident, but Maher's backers
made him a hot favorite by laying
odds ranging from 3 to 5 to 1 • on the
Irishman’s chances of winning.
From the outset Maher never left
the result in doubt. He rushed at
O’Donnell the moment the referee
called time, and O’Donnell assumed
the defensive. The big Australian led
his left for Maher's body, but the
Irishman blocked the blow with his
right hand glove. Then Maher sent
his left to the chin and swung again
with his left on the face. He put
O’Donnell to the floor a second later
with a left on the chin, and, after the
Australian regained his feet, Maher
landed a left smash on the jaw, follow
ing it quickly with a left half-hook,
which sent O’Donnell down in a heap.
Steve rolled over on his back in a help
less condition, and the referee slowly
counted him out.
WEYLER TOLD TO DELAY.
Rumor That Spain Will Make Overtures
to the Rebels.
New York, Dee. 28.—A Madrid spe
cial says: It is rumored that General
Weyler has delayed fresh operations
against the insurgents in order to give
time to discover the disposition of the
bands and their chiefs since the death
of Maceo, with a view to feeling his
way to preparing the ground for fin
ishing? the present Cuban war like the
past insurrections in Spain and Cuba,
where money and unofficial negotia
tions prove more telling arguments
than force of arms, directly the insur
gents saw no more hope of foreign aid.
It is also believed in diplomatic cir
cles that Spain will take advantage of
the dispositions of Presiden Cleveland
and Secretary Olney to negotiate
quickly and directly with the United
States to secure American neutrality
by granting discriminating concessions
in the contemplated Caban tariff and
fair promises of colonial autonomy be
fore the accession of McKinley.
DUEL TO THE DEATH.
Two FemUont, Mo., Men Settle an Old
Fend With Pistols—Both Dead.
New Madrid, Mo., Dec. 28.—John
Adams and Charles Simpson met at a
dance in Pemiscot county last night at
the residence of Joseph Canot and
drawing their pistols fought a duel to
the death. Each man emptied the con
tents of his revolver into the anatomy
of the other. Simpson died on the floor
and Adams outside the door. An old
feud was settled.
Double Murder.
Corning, N. Y., Dec. 28.—A horrible
iouble murder occurred at Rathbun
ville, fifteen miles west of this city,
last night. William Allen, William
Harrington and Cloyd Myers, while in
an intoxicated condition, quarreled
about the possession of a buffalo robe,
Myers had the robe at his house
and Allen and Harrington drove there
at 10 o'clock last night and demanded
it. They were met by Myers, who had
a snot gun with him. When they de
manded the robe Myers shot them
both. Harrington was in the buggy
at the time and the horses started at
the report of the gun. Allen died at
12:15 this morning. The bodies of
both men were terribly torn. Myers
was captured at 2 o'clock this morning
and is now in jail.
Grand Island Road.
Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 28.—The Grand
Island, Hastings & Southeastern Rail
road company has filed its certificate
of organization and incorporation and
articles of association in the office of
the secretary of state. The new com
pany purchased the St. Joseph & Grhnd
Island road at the foreclosure sale held
at Hastings, Neb., a few days ago.
The use of the word Southeastern in
stead of St. Joseph in the name is com
mented on by local railroad men as
possibly indicating an intention on the
part of the new company to extend its
line beyond St. Joseph and to Kansas
City.
“Kansas Kid" Confesses.
Seattle, Wash., Dec. 28.—Gay
Harsliman, alias “The Kansas Kid,”
who was convicted recently of passing
810,000 worth of counterfeit money,
has made a statement to the effect that
his pal, George Conkling, who is now
serving time for counterfeiting, and
who squealed on him, confessed to
him that he was one of the three men
who held up the Northern Pacific train
at Hot Springs in 1894, when the pas
sengers in the sleeper were relieved of
$3,000. It is believed that Harshman
also had a hand in the hold up. Conk
ling is not a bad man, but Harshman is
an old criminal and a desperate man.
Convicted of Hanging: HU Wife.
Clarke, S. D., Dec. 28.—Christian
Christiansen has just been convicted of
wife murder and sentenced to the pen
itentiary for life. It was supposed
that his wife had committed suicide,
as she was found hanging to a tree in
a tree claim. It now appears that he
hung her to the tree from his wagon
and then drove out from under, leav
ing her there. Circumstantial evi
eence was found which rendered the
suicide theory untenable.
Fatal Hunting Trip.
Emporia, Kan., Dec. 28.—John Brad
ley, the 17-year-old son of J. Q. Brad
ley, fatally shot himself while out
hunting yesterday. He and Frank
l*yne had placed their guns against a
tree while eating lunch. One of them
slipped down and was discharged, the
load of quail shot striking Bradley in
the top of the forehead, tearing a hole
in the scalp and shattering the skull.
Salvation Army Charity.
St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 28.—The Salva
tion army fed 5,000 adults and children
at their various rooms in this city
Christmas day and sent out about 1,000
basket dinners to deserving families.
SPAIN IN HARD LINES.
The Entire Phllllplne Colony In Revolt.
London, Dec. 24. —-A Madrid dispatch
says: “In order to secure the success
of the next loan the government is
straining every nerve to to conceal the
true situation in the Philippines. The
whole colony is in revolt, and scattered
bodies of Spanish troops have been
hemmed in by the rebels. It is ru
mored that a certain proportion oi
German reserve officers are in the in
surgent ranks.
San Francisco, Dec. 23.—Private ad
vices from Manilla, Philippine islands,
reached here to-day and are verified by
an account that appears in the Hong
Kong Press, received per Belgic. The
news contained in the communication
deals with the attack of the Spanish on
the Noveleta isthmus, and the at
tempt of the Spanish to dislodge the
insurgents in Cavite and Viejo. At
the end of the campaign, which lasted
until the 14th of November, the Span
ish authorities sent out disp&tches re
porting that the attack had been suc
cessful, and that the rebel loss was
very heavy. The Spanish claimed to
have lost about 25 killed and 100
wounded. It is now learned that the
great victory that the Castillians pre
dicted ended in ignominious defeat.
Tbe rebels held Noveleta against war
ships and troops. The Spaniards re
tired after suffering heavy loss.
wuuu omnyan rennuesa.
Boston, Mass., Deo. 24.—John L.
Sullivan, the pugilist, sat in the poor
debtors’ session of the municipal court
yesterday to explain why he had failed
to settle a florist’s bill. The case will
be further heard January 11. It is
said that of the thousands of dollars
which Sullivan has made, he has not
left even enough to pay this small
judgment of $318 obtained by a florist.

Questions and Answers Delating to
Patents.
J. V. D., of Belmond, Iowa, has sub
mitted questions to which we answer
as follows:
!•—The average time for getting a
patent allowed is about eight weeks
—An application in this country is,
by international agreement, protection
for six months in most of the foreign
countries that grant patents to Ameri
cans
3. —No one outside of the U.S. patent
office has a right to know anything
about an application that has not been
granted.
4. —Yes, we have the official records
of all U. S. Patents issued since 1850 to
date and can generally tell when prior
claims interfere with ideas or inven
tions presented now.
5. —Principles and results are not
patentable and the same objects and
results may be obtained by inventions
that differ from each other in contruc
tion, in a patentable sense, so that two
machines for the same purpose may
each be patented by different persons
and used without either one being an
infringement of the other’s rights.

March. Persons wishing to have horo
scopes made should remember to give

ideas. You are also fond of anything
pertaining to chemistry and pharmacy.
You have good command of language,
and you are also a deep thinker, and
do not always tell everything you
know. You have strong intuitions, and
have a good knowledge of many things
without ever having had to study to
learn about them.
Mlgg Mary K., Oalva, 111.

which Mars rules, rising at your birth
and therefore Mars is your ruling
planet or signiflcator. Scorpio usually

soldiers, firemen, etc., when they

diers on dress parade, etc.; you also
take quite an interest in war and navy
news and all kinds of military affairs.
John M., Brooklyn.
You have the zodiacal sign Leo,
which the sun rules, rising at birth and
therefore the Sun is your ruling planet
or signiflcator. The sign Leo usually
denotes a wiry, muscular, slender fig

fair and ruddy; the hair and eyes light;
the eyes are large and in some cases,
they would be called “popeyes.” You

thing; you are very apt to borrow
trouble in some way or cross bridges
before you get to them; you are appar

your deep anger aroused; yet when you
do you become very fierce like the lion;
when your anger is once aroused you
will give somebody that was the cause
of it the full benefit of your opinion re
gardless of their position or rank. You
have more than average pride and am
bition and have a natural gift of
language.
