CUBA IS BEING KUINED
HER GREAT SUGAR INDUS
TRY IN DANGER.
Plau ton Fnabla to Gather tha Crop of
This Tear or Prapara For Next Seaion't
Butlnesa Almost Dead and the Oat
look Sertoa) View of a Planter.
New York, Aug. Aug. 2?. Tha
Ward line steamer Santiago, which
has just arrived here, brought Dr. H.
Von Herff of this city and John La
Bourdette, administrator of the Santa
Marca plantation at Guant&namo,
which was recently raided. Dr. Von
llerff said: "I found business of all
kinds in Santiago de Cuba at a stand
still. Most of the merchants were
waiting for better times. Some of
them had closed their doors. Recently
the government Issued an order forbid
ding the merchants to sell any goods
or materials to women and children
from the country. This was done to
cut off the insurrectionists from ob
taining any supplies from the towns.
The revolutionists are simply carry
ing on a guerrilla wafare. Every
few days I heard of some raid, which
usually consisted of destroying a
plantation. There is little fighting
going on. No one ventures to predict
when the war will come to an end. If
the insurrection goes on for another
year, the sugar industry will be pros
trated. The administrator of one of
the largest plantations in the Santiago
sugar district told me that it will take
the planters four or five years to re
cover from the damages already done.
Many plantations not laid waste by the
insurrectionists have been practically
abandoned. In fact, the sugar plant
ers really bear the brunt of the war.
They will have to pay enormous taxes,
even if the insurrection be put down.
At present almost every planter is
threatened with ruin if he does not
contribute money to the insurgent
cause. The sugar planters are be
tween the devil and the deep sea. If
they do not contribute large sums of
money for protection their fields are
laid waste. If they ask for protection
they are marked as enemies of the re
public and their property would be sot
on fireor ruined at the first opportu
nity." TREATIES ABOVE STATES.
Bannock and Shoshone Indian Hunters
Will Be Protected In Wyoming.
Washington, Aug. 27. No attention
will be paid by the Indian bureau to
the game laws of Wyoming where
they come into conflict with the treat
ies of the United States with the
Bannock and Shoshone Indians, the
attorney eeneral, after considering
the matter", having informed the sec
retary of the interior and the com
missioner of Indian affairs that the
right of Indians to hunt on unoccupied
lands, in his opinion, are unquestion
able, and that he considers that the
state of Wyoming has no power to
limit or abridge this right.
No definite steps to enforce this de
termination have been decided upon
than that the instructions to the
United States district attorneys to se
cure the release of the Indians now in
custody on writs of habeas corpus
probably will be supplemented by an
order to do the same thing in case any
arrest shall be made in tne future.
The bureau will discourage hunting
by the Indians as far as possible, and
at, present no passes will be issued per
mitting the braves to leave the reserv

HOLMES LATEST STORY.,
Teua la m Signed Statement How Nannie
William Died.
NbwYork, Aug. 7. A signed state
ment written by H. II. Holmes in Moy
amensing prison at Philadelphia and
certified to by his lawyer, going into
all the details of his acquaintance with
Minnie R. Williams, is printed by a
local paper. Holmes writes that he
first met Minnie at an intelligence
office, kept by one Campbell, on Dear
born street, Chicago, in January, 1893,
and employed her as a stenographer.
She was installed in his office in the
building which has become known as
"Holmes' Castle, ' and from March to
May of that year occupied rooms in
the building adjoining the office. Oc
casionally meals were served in the
building, and if any bones have been
found in the stove there, he writes, it
will be found by microscopic examin
ation that they are the remains of
such meals.
Holmes says that in April Minnie
Williams, knowing him to be in need
of money, gave a draft for $2,5o), the1
proceeds of the sale of real estate she
bad held in Texaf and asked him to
use it until she shou d need it.
About this time. Holmes narrates,
Miss Williams was taken ill, suffered
from acute mania and was removed to
the Presbyterian hospital, being en
rolled as Mrs. Williams, as her ail
ment was such that it was prudent for
her to pass as a married woman.
Minnie Williams' condition was
brought about, so Holmes says she
told him, by a prominent Boston busi
ness man, head of a firm dealing in
surgical instruments, with whose wife
6he visited at their home in Somer
ville. This mnn had acquired an influ
ence over her which she was unable to
resist; betrayed her, and she met him
frequently at a hotel near his place of
business, breaking her engagement to
marry an honest cleric. When she
grew better and returned to his house,
her sister, Nannie Williams, came from
Texas to visit her. Returning ono
evening early in July f rem a day in the
city, he was greeted with a cry from
Minnie Williams in the parlor: "Is
that you? My God, I thought you
would never come. Nannie is dead. " ,
She was seated upon the floor, hf-;
ing her sister's head in hr anas,
rocking back and forth and moaiMug,
much as a mother would over a c:hild.
He found that; Nannie had beeiA dd
for hours, and laid her body uion tho
bed in his own room, finding tyo mark
of violence, but a slight discoloration
on one of her temples. AceoB'ding to
the story written by Holmes Minnie
Williams had been away .thW preced
ing nigh, and Holmes also been
unexpectedly detained MJ business all
night When Minie( Williams re
turned home she noUceM 'hat his bed
had not been occupied! during the
night.
This is what Holmes i -rites: "And
with only one thought in rW disordered
mind, she had rushed h. '. the adjoin
ing room where her aisle; j-sat. and in a
voice which only the very few who
have been intimately acquainted with
M iss Williams can appreciate, had said:
'You devil, you have bluven my hus
band from inc.' At t lie KiMie time she
struck her sister with a mall foot
stool, causing hir to lall t!i the Door
where with hard.y a Htrviggle, she
ceased to breathe."
At first Minnie thought lier sister
had only fainted anil tried,' to revive
her, then she found heretl'oits useless,
and remained iu the positioiii hvwhich
he found her. Then cane) thljines
tion of what to do. Ho'.meW V.tory of
w hat was done follows: i
"We clothed Nannie in a 1-i'ht ?ress
she had liked to wear, and .iking- a
large trunk she had brought jvrit). Ler
from Texas, I placed her in it' I went
to a stable and obtained e covered con
veyance, and upon my i-piurn 1 en
gaged a man to accompany m,j to the
house and help mo place ;h l.r'iMt in
the carriage. I then drovs to it! e Iske
side and waited until n jht, tl us ap
pearing to parties noticii g me,j if any,
that I was awaiting the rtturu C.t some
belated boating party.
"Then I procured a boat,fit soma
distance and took it near my waiting
place, and later, with considerable
trouble, I placed, the trunk in the
craft and proceeded abaut nro mile
from the shore. There in thti dark
ness passed beyond the sig'.t t of this
world into the ever-grasp ng lepths
of Lake Michigan all that wai- atortal
of this beautiful Christian glr?
"The housekeeping w a bnk:i up,
and very shortly thereafter Mtt. Hatch
took Minnie Williams to f ii aukee,
where she remained ir a private insti
tution until later in t'.e suwrne . The
cause that produced ner urisoui.d men
tal condition had been removet.. We
kept Nannie's things several weeks,
until I could obtain time to dispose of
them, when I assorted mint of them
and gave them to Pict.el. telling him
that they were some that Miss Will
iams had sent to his children. All the
others wer,e burned in the large stovo
in the third story cflicn. The last I
ever saw of Miss Williams was in De
troit last fall, and my belief is that
she is still alive and welh"

Washington, Aug. 27. A review of

COLORADO BULL FIGHT.
Simply an Exhibition pf Cruelty Wit
netted by 6,000 People.
CmrPLE Ckeek, Col., Aug. 27. An
other bull was killed in the arena at
Gillett yesterday, in the presence of
6,000 people, and the work was done
in the regal splendor of Spain and
Mexico. The first bull turned Into tha
u-.ona was an exceedingly tame animal.
vn after the darts were in him, he

The next animal made a light
for his life, but its fight was quickly
over. Chireta, the king of the arena,
in not only Mexico, but Spain, made
two slabs at the animal, and -then
practically left him dead, but the Mex
icans with the red cloaks tossed the
creature and made him dart at them.
One came within an ace of losing his
life and there was great excitement in
consequence, especially among the lit
tle company to which the individual
belonged. Not a few women fainted.
It was simply an exhibition of cru
elty and was not enjoyed at all by the
crowd. '
Over a hundred deputy sheriffs were
in attendance and the management
was again placed under arrest, but no
attempt was made to stop the proceed
ings.
