St Lot-is, Sept. 17. The Globe-Demo-cat
prints a 8ecial from Van Buren,
A -k., giving details of the shooting of
I- auk Hepburn. It. -ays:
Frank Hepburn, r n of Congressman
Hepburn, of Iowa, f ught a duel at Ches-
t r, this state, a d was mortally
wounded by the sec nd shot from his
antagonist's weapon.
Chester is t wen y miles north ol here,
ana nepimrn, who r at an engineer on
the rnsco railroad, was lying over at
that station between runs, The day
was hot and oppressive, and several
persons were asleep on the p'atform
Among them was W. E. Sims, pro rietor
of a saloon in ChesU r.
Hepburn, who was known to his as
sciates as a practical jok-r, thro.igU
h - would have some fun with the sleep
ing men, and picked out Kims bs his
victim. Carefully cutting the saloon
keeper s shoe strings, the engineer then
removed bis shoes and hid them at some
distance. A few minutes laier Sims
awoke and was astouidied to find him
self standing only in his so ks A hois
tercus laugh apprised hiui that be had
been made the victim of a juke., and
turning nn-rilv to the crowd he ex
pressed a willingness to thrash the man
who had removed his shoes. Hepburn
immediately stepped forward anl ac
knowledgcd timt l e hail dune the deed
No sooner were the words out of his
mouth than the saloonkeeper rushed a
the engineer and stabbed him in the
side with a pocket knife. The wound
was only a slight one, and as bystanders
interfered all trouble promised to be
over.
But Hepburn, who, until the knife
thrust was made, had considered the
matter in no other light than a joke, in
formed Sims that if he really took it so
seriously be (Hepburn) would give him
an opportunity for revenge, and ho sug
gested that they secure suitable weap
ons and fight it out.
Sims at once acquieeced, and both
men left for their boarding houses
which were near by. Quite a crowd had
collected by this time, but the by stand
ers either did not rea'ize how serious the
sequal promised to lie or else they bad
no desire to stop the duel, for they made
no attempt to prevent the meeting.
A few minutes Inter Hepburn sp-
peared on the steps of his boarding
house, revolver in bend, and Sims simi
larly armed, came out ol a n oar-by
building. The men were separated by
about the with of a Btreet, when both
raised their weapon and fired. Neither
was hit, and a sceon exchange of shots
follow ed. This time Hepburn (ell to the
g-ound, mortally wtinded, with a bul
let in the bowels. He died two hours
later from bemorrh: ge.
Congressman W. P. Hepburn of the
Eighth Iowa distiictwaa notified late
Tuesday night of tie death of his son
and he arrived at Chester yesterday
from where he will take the body to
Iowa.
Sims was arrested, charged with mur
der.

HatVatNA, Sept. 18. (via Key Wrst.J
The money question ia the all-absorbing
topic of the hour. Ever since Gen
eral Weyler issued bis famous decree, or
dering tbe Spanish bank's paper money
to be accepted at par with gold, it was
forseeu that serious complications would
arise, because, not having the govern
ment's proper guarantee, it could not
be accepted as a circulat ng Hiedium.
The government is doing all in its pow
er to sustain the value of the paper.
threatening with severe penalties those
w ho refuse to acrtept it on the same
basis with gold. The Spanish bank,
with the assistance of the government,
in order to uphold its pnpBr, announced
its willingne-s to accept it in paymtnt
of drafts on Spain, but when one of the
al bankers, as a test case, solicited
from the bank a draft on Spain for
Jlo.OiiO, the bank refused, on the ground
that it could not furnish bills to bankers
who did not admit its paper in payment
of their exchanges, l'.y repudia'ing its
own paper the bank has initiated a
crisis in financial circle, which has ti-
t the money market, . and inanv be
lieve it will end in a c .iiiiiiercial i.anic.

The announcement that the whole
sale arrests of citizens made Saturday
last was simplv a government plot to
remove obnoxious persons, has been
fully confirmed, at least in the case of
Mr. Alftado Hernandez Huguet, the
American citizen arrested, When the
police overran h.s house in. search ol
incriminat:ng papers, his daughter saw
one of the men intioducing a suspicious
d cumei.t amongst his papers, and,
seizing him by the arm, strongly pro
t -ied attains! the infamous act he was
ciuiiiiittink', but it was of no avail, for
they carried that document, as convinc
ing evidence of guilt.
Cdie went to see Consul Lee and told
him her tale, and when the consul
a-ked her if ha had the courage to lay
the facts before General Weyler, she
unhesitatingly assented. It is under
stood that both went to see the gen
eral ami that he refused to listen to
her on the ground that he was not the
judge ih-it had to decide the case, and
that she should give her testimony to
the ju 'ge who investigated the matter.
