AVANNAU , Oa. , Feb. 2G.-Thls has been I
the most exellng night In the history ot Sa-

bled on the verge or relgious rIots. The en-

grave trouble was brewing. The city had
a b3en liberally placarded with notices that
ex-Priest Sintery and his wife . describe as
an ex-nun , would lecture here on Cathol-
cIsm. Members of the Ancient Order of Iii-
H-
, ' bcrnlnns at once took steps to prevent their
appearance here. Petitions were circulated
. . asking the mayor to refuse permission to the
;
ex-priest to deliver his lecture The pet-
tQn said that If Slatery was allowed to i
. speak there would be blood and riot. About
600 signed the petition. When it

In his opinion the attorney said that there
could be no disorder or trouble IC those who

' urged all to do so.

once Into the questions of the various loans
made by hayward to Miss GImtg , the aim cC
his questions alfparenty being to show that
Harry hal lent the dressmaker money freely
without security amid In an unbuslnesslke
manner. Harry's connection with the loan
Miss Gng made on the four mill at Hamel
amid the collection of the loss when It sud-
anl sul-
dimly burned was thoroughly ventilated , and
Harry was asked whether he had not driven
out to lnmel with Miss Gin ! the morning
aCer the fire. This he enle utterly.
This and other . questions were asked for Impeachment -
peachment purposes the state proposing to
show on rebuttal that Harry Is not telling
the truth. Harry described how he had
turned the lot , gIven him by his father , Into
cash first by mortgages and then by Ils-
posing of the equity to Elder Stewart. The
proceeds hal been nearly IO.COO and this he
had partially lost at gambling . while the
rest he had gIven to Ady In a sealed en-
velope and II was put In the sate. He le-
dared that the mo ! money he had ever lost
at ana time was $ [ ,700 at the Twin City
AthletIc club.

that Harry , should. havp" rusted Adry with

science imld'liad a mlnla 'Cor crime. Harry
replied ho would trust Alrf now with money
If , he gave It to him openly and asked to
have It kept forhimn. .
The holdup story was gone Into this afternoon -
non , and Mr. halt use Inuendees to show
that It was Harry \1ho had been the prime
mover In that affair. In fact , he asked him
If he hal not toll Adry once that he hal
planned that a song was to be the signal
but that the man who did It was such a
bungler that the women had time to hide
their money and valuables. Hayward denied
It point blank. lie admitted that he Ild not
want the matter reported to the police , but
that was on Adry's acount. He had kept
time watch out cf eAght Car months , 0 that
Adry's wife might net see It and thus wonder
how he got It after It had been stolen from

NEW YORK , Feb. 2 . -The outbrea1 ] In
Cuba Is said to hwo been hatched here In
Ne- York. I Is said by members oC the
Cuban revolutionary party that the date set
for the uprising has been known since Feb-

ruary O. Jose Marti , twice banlshel from
Cuban sol because oC hIs hate of Spanish
domination , and General MaxIma Gomez , who
commanded the eastern wing oC the Cuban
rebels In the revolution of 18G8 , left New
York two weeks ago. Their arrival In Cuba
was to be the signal for the uprIsIng. Mart
wiil be the head of the

ment IC the revolutionists are successful .
General Gomez Is the commammder-In-cblef oC
the revolutionary terces. MexIco and the
South American republics have long becis

Ybarra , where once the patriot party raised
its standard ) , Is under command ef Major
General Julio Sangul ) ' . The point men-
tonel Is about slxt-slx miles cast at
havana en the west enl of the island. . The
scene of the other uprising Guantanamo , Is
on time east enl of the Island , and
tile fact that these widely separate places
are given prominence Is accepted by Cubans
In New York to mean that the uprising extends -
tends throughout the Island and that the I
Spanish authorities are attempting te be- 1
little its cxtent. The revolutionary forces
In the caster section of the Island , which I .
includes Guantammamno are commanded by
Brigadier General Oulermo Monca a. I Is
estimated that ho can raise 4,000 men. The
Spanish forces number ISOOO regulars , oC
whIch about 6,000 are stationed In Santiago
de Cuba , within reach of the rebels at Guan-
tanamo The bulk oC the remaining Span-
Ish troops arc staten el In Havana , near the

MARTIAL LAW IN THE ISLAND.
HAVANA , Feb. 26.-Martial law has been
declared here and time polce and
Spanish garrisons throughout the Isl-
ands are on the alert to prevent an
uprl&lng. Slight outbreaks have al-
ready occurred at Clenfugos and Matanzas.
At the later place three Cuban patriots have .
.been arrested and , a sal quantity of arms
seized. The ceast guards on land and gun-
beats by sea arc patrolling the coasts to
prevent the landing of flbusterers from Flor-
Ida , Honduras and Costa mca. Spies In
Tampa and Key Wes have reported unusual
activity among refugees , and forwarded some
information at a general movement do !
Tha government rooms to fear an Inurrec-
ton , and Is taking extreme measures to
stamp It out.
KEY WEST Fla. , Feb. 26.-Several thou-

scribers to the revolutionary Cund. Th's fund ,

Sir Wilam Vernon Hnrceurt I\lmlted that
