tide unit then settled Into the aca. The
schooner Leandcr V. Beebe Miled for this
port , but I wan taken off her off Long
Branch at 10:30 : o'clock thin morning by
the tug Fred II , Dalzcll and brought direct
to this city. I landed at pier 8 , North
river , at 12:40 and reported at once to the
headquarter * of the revolutionary party In
the Manhattan building. There they told
mo that they had received the tMegrams
from Woodhuli , Ma . , anil fro/n Boston say
ing the rest of the crew and the revolution
ists were nil rafe with the exception of the
nix. that were drowned whtn wo left the
steamer.
"There were no Americans on boird the
Hawkins. They wore all Cubans , who hail
l > een enlisted In this city to fight for the
cause of freedom for Cuba. We were not
drilled , " In this city , but were cnllUed here
for the cause. Wo only knijw that wo were
EOlng to Cuba.
"No ono except the captain and the com
mander knew what part of Cuba we were
bound for. "
It was learned at the office of F. B. Dal-
rell & Co. that their tug , which brought
Hernandez to this city , was balled by the
echooncr Leander V. Beebe forty-five miles
Mouth of Barnegst , N. J. The Hawkins mir-
vlvprs on board asked to bo taken off and
brought by the Dalzoll to this city.
Hernandez landed as before stated at pier
8 , North river ; the remainder disembarked
nt 48 , North river. At the Cuban head
quarters , 08 Broadway , It was denied that
the Hawkins was on Its way to Cuba.
"Wo would have known about her , " said
the 5ecrctary , Gonzoles do Quesadai "If she
had been fitted out for Cuba. The report
that Grcla was aboard Is absolutely false ,
: ) he Is still In this city. "
CUBANS GREATLY EXCITED.
At no time since the beginning of hostll'
Hies has Uicro been such an excltemfcnt al
the headquarters of the Cuban revolutionist !
In this city as there was today when It was
learned that the steamship J. W. Hawkins
which had been fitted out at great trouble
and oxpenca as a filibuster , had beer
wrecked off the eastern end of Lang Islanl
on Sunday night nnd had been abandoned
by the revolutionists and the crew on Mon
day morning. The news came as a thunder
bolt among the lending spirits In the revo
lutionary camp hero , for the evening papers
In their late editions published a report tc
the effect that the steamer Hawkins had been
fitted out at Ono Hundred and Thirty-eighth
sttcet and the East river , this city , wltli
arms and ammunition , and this. It proved ,
was likely to get the dealers Into trouble
with the government. The story was to the
effect thnt the revolutionary party had re
cently purchased the steamer In Baltimore ,
She had been engaged In the fishing trade
nnd was of 125 tons net and eighty-eight
tons gross. She was commanded by Captain
Hall and her mate was C. H. Crowell.
Joseph C. Hernandez , one of the filibus
ters , who arrived In this city , was credited
with having called at the revolutionary headquarters -
quarters and with having made a full rcporl
of the accident and the circumstances attend
ing It to the revolutionary minister , Palma ,
The latten Is said to have given him money
to assist the members of the party who art
now In this city and Boston.
Hernandez Is said to have reported that hi
escaped from the sinking ship In cue o
the first boats to " < cave her , and that hi
InmatcD of thl.t boat had been picked up b ;
the schooner Leander" V. Bcebe , Captain W
M. Howes , of Boston. Later the revolution
If Is were transferred from the Beebo to tl
tug Dalzcll and landed In tills city today
Hernandez landed at Pier C , North river , am
went tc > the Cuban headquarters , while tin
other revolutionists * were taken up to Ploi
40 and landed. After that the Dalzell wen
out to sea.
Ttwso not taken on board the Boobo wen
picked up by the schr-oncrs Helen H. Bone
diet of BoDton and Ellzlah Crosby of Port
land , Me. , and taken to Woodsholl , Mass ,
and Boston.
Minister Palma wnt > boslegcd by callers al
the afternoon. Ho refused to see reporters
and his' associates were evidently afraid t <
do any talking. At first every ono abou
hcadquartera denied point blank that any o :
the filibustering expedition had left hero or
the steamer Hawkins , or any other steamer
or that any other steamer had been wrecked
It was also denied that Hernandez or anj
ono clso had called at headquarters and re
ported that the expedition was wrecked. A
man , who refused to glvo his name am
who waa afterward pronounced a Spanlsl
spy , said that < Hqrnanclez had received E
largo sum of money , from Minister Palma tt
apylst thoso'of the stranded filibustering
party wh'u might be In need.
PALMA PLEADS IGNORANCE.
It was not until 7 o'clock at night that
about a score of newspaper men succeeded
In getting an Interview or statement from
Minister Palma personally. Ho paid that In
his official capacity , he know absolutely noth
ing about the alleged filibustering expedition.
Ho declined to siy anything about the
wreck of the Hawkins , or whether ho had
received a dispatch from Woodsholl , Mass. ,
and from Boston , that those of the revolu
tionists who had not been taken to Now
York had arrived safely there. Ho did ad
mit , however , that ho had received a dis
patch from Boston. He ole admitted after
a great deal of pressure that a young man
bad called upon him , who was In ncoj of
financial assistance and that ho had given
money to him. What his nimo waa or what
ho wanted the money for. Minister Palma
would not state.
"Gentlemen , " Bald ho , becoming excited ,
"you eurely cannot expect mo to tell you all
that I know or may have heard. I have
told you all that has come to my official
knowledge , but about this filibustering busi
ness , I know nothing. You don't want mete
to oay I am a filibuster , do you ? Well ,
I can't say any moro. Wo have nothing to do
with filibustering hero ; don't a nit mo to coy
any more , because I have nothing to say
except that I know nothing. "
Minister Palma was asked If ho had re
ported , that six of the filibusters had been
drowned while endeavoring to get Into the
small boats when the latter were leaving
the Hawkins , but he had nothing to say.
Such a statement has been crcdlte-d to Her
nandez. There was no doubt but that a largo
number of Cubans had landed from the tug
Dalzoll at pier C , North river , In the after
noon. Mr. Dalzell was seen at his office
at South street and confirmed the state
ment. Where these men were seemed to bo
a mystery , but It was sold at the Hotel
America In Irving Place that they had
scattered about the city and were lodged
In Cuban boarding houses. At the Hotel
America , where many Cubans reside while
In New York , every one talked about the
filibusters. Inquiries at the hotel failed to
find General Garcia or his son. Minister
Palma , when seen later , sa'.d that ho did
not know wbeio tha general was. lie did
not believe that thn general had been on any
filibustering expedition r could not , or would
not , tell where any of the filibusters were
to be found. At 100 Broadway , wlioro the
Spanish party In New York has an ofllce
for disseminating news , It was said lata
tonight that they had no Information con
cerning the filibustering expedition to glvo
out , but doubtless thcru would bo an Invest- !

LINCOLN. Jim. 28. ( SpcchU A few days
since Tlio Bee called attention to tlio fact
that tlio Board of Public Lands anJ Uulld-
Ingi hid determined to carry the. peniten
tiary squabble Into tlio supreme court and
practically ask for an opinion on the re
cent opinion handed down In the Leldlgh
mandamus case. Thjs It has done. Late
last night the attorney general filed a mo
tion for a rehearing of the case of George
W. Leldlgh against Silas A. Holcomb , and
this morning he pied also a brief motion
for a rehearing. It Is suppcsed the animus
of this move Is to lay the foundation tor
the employment of ox-Warden lloemer as
"purchasing agent" of the board so far as
prison supplies nro concerned. Uy pursuing
the directions laid down by the court In Us
recent opinion , an accounting must bo made
for every dollar cxpcndeJ , and tlio affairs of
tha penitentiary conducted on the same lines
as these of the other public Institutions In
the state. The brief filed this morning con
veys tlio Idea that the supreme court has
In pamo wny misunderstood the contention
of the Hoard of Public Lands In the former
hearing. While the brief declaims any In
tention of abrogating the duties of the Uoard
of Purchase and Supplies It virtually con
tends that the Bwrd of Public Linds and
Ilulidlnga Is the only power in which any
cf the affairs of the psnltentlary are vested.
Governor Holcomb Is n member of the for
mer board , but not of the latter. Inter
jected Into the body of the brief Is the fol
lowing choice sample :
In this contention I do not wish to bo
understood as doing so because any one of
the respondents are desirous of excluding
the governor from paitlclpatlng In the pur
chase of the supplies for the various In
stitutions ; but solely for the purpose of
having It determined wlmt the law I and
upon whom rests the responsibility. I my
self wish thnt I was freed altogether from
any of the duties relating to the purchas
ing of supplies for state Institutions.

FEDERAL COUIIT MATTERS.
In the federal circuit court this morning
Judge Woolson of Mount Pleasant , la. , occu
pied the bench with JuJgo Shlras. The next
case to be called In this court Is that of
Hector McLean against the County of Val
ley. A New York broker desires to re
cover $ C,72C.25 , alleged by htm to be overdue
on Interest coupons attached to eighty fund
ing bonds of Valley county. The petitioner
alleges that ho became the purchaser of the
bonds , amounting to $32,000 , In the regular
course of business. J. G. Taylor of Omaha
was the original holder of the bonds. On
January C , 1SSO , the bonds uro declared to
liavo been legally cxtjcuted by the county
coirmlssloners of Valley county and Interest
paid on maturing coupons on demand up to
and Including 1891 , since which tlipo payment
of Interest was refused on certain of the
bonds , which were to , run twenty years and
were redeemable after the expiration of ten.
The county puts In a def .ii3 that the amount
of the bond series In question 4s In excess
of that allowed by law , and that at the elec
tion the bonds were not carried by the nec
essary two-thirds vote. It Is also claimed
that the plaintiff Is not the owner of the full
scue of $32,000 , as claimed , but only 'of
15,000 worth , and that they were not regu-
aily purchased by plaintiff In the course cif
mslncjs.

there seems no excuse for such slovenly work
otherwise than the fact U.ut the taxpayers

of the sheriff , and were still persecuting
him. Dr. Baker testified that from his ex
amination he thought Walker was Insane
nnd that he could not dlst'ngulsh right from
wrong.
Baker's testimony was somewhat weak
ened by his statement that nearly all per
sona were pihlally Insane.
Dr. Rosenberg testified that he- thought
Walker Itisino In the sense- that ho was n.
monomaniac upn the question of his per
secutions and .stated that Walker told him
even the- warden of the penitentiary was
In league w'th the gang to persecute him.

It possible that Walker feigned h's present
condition hp answered : "I do not think It
poss'blo for him to folgn his. present mental
condition. " DrRosenberg also stated that
ho did not think Walker could distinguish
right from wrong.
Rev. Mr. Rodabaugh testified that he had
visited Walker frequently ; that Walker
stated he was constantly being followed
by his enemlei1 ! that they awaited him ! n
every canyon and behind every bush and
that ho had to begin to put them out of
the way tcr 'his own safety. Rev. M. Roda-
baugh also stated thnt Walker at no time
manifested any "realization of the enormity
of his crime and that ho considered Walker
Insane.
William McLean , the death watch , stated
that Walker was more cheerful after the
telcg am came from Governor Holccmb trust
ing the respite to March 6.

gram. ) The Imp.inellng of tlio jury In the
Tate murder case was taken up at 10:30 : this
morning , and nt 2:30 : the task was com
pleted. All day the largo court roam has
been crowded to suffocation. Immediately
upon the completion of the Jury the trial
was commenced.
Statements of facts were rend by both
pldcs and the first fitness for the ttate
called. It was the family plijaclaii , Dr.
E , L. Black of Cook. He gave the facts
regarding the condition he found the de
ceased boy , Archibald Cathcnrt , In when lit
reached the bedside. The second witness
for the state was Dr. Cartroh of Elk Creek ,
who was coroner at the time of the crime.
He substantially reiterated the testimony
of the preceding witness. There was. a bare
possibility of the life of the deceased hav
ing been saved had medical aid been nt hand
at the time the deed was committed. The
third witness was Ernest Cathcart , a boy
19 years of age , brother of the victim. His
testimony was of great Importance , and was
decidedly Interesting. Ho was with his
brother when the litter waa murdered. He
suoro that as his brother and himself came-
out nf the church that night Tatc and his
followers begin taunting them. At thUi
both hlu brother and himself threw off their
co.Us and told the boys as they had been
aching for a fight so long they were then
ready to Accommodate them. No
one seemed anxious to accept thfc
challenge and the boys started to
puts their coats on again. At this point he
swore that Tale dared cither his brother
or himself to strike him first. Archibald
Cathcart accepted the dare and struck Tale
i light banter blow on the chest. When
struck Tate was standing with his left hand
on his hip and his right one In his coat
pocket. Upon receiving the blow ho quickly
pi educed an open knife with his concealed
; iand nnd struck his apsallant two terrific
blows. The victim staggered back , weakened
by the fatal blow and suffering the pain of
the deep cut , and exclaimed :
"Boys , he'c thrown fire en me. My GoJ ,
no , bo's stabbed me. Take me some place ,
nuintc. I'm loslnir mv mind. "
These were the last words the murdered
boy ever uttered , for he fainted and never
regained consciousness. The witness was
then given a long cross-examlmtlon by the
attorneys for the defense , but his testimony
remained unshaken. At this point adjourn
ment was taken until tcmorrow at 0 a. in.
Whllo Judge Lctton Is hearing the murder
case In the court room tomorrow Judge Stull

HASTINGS , Jan. 28. ( Special Telegram. )
Today the farmers' and business men's con-
vcntlcn was held hero In the court house
and It certainly was a great big success from
the mornlnir session to the evening session.
Although there were not as many here as
had been expected there certa'nly was an
extra largo crowd of Interested listeners
from many parts of the 5tate. Including :
Governor Holcomb , C. E. Williams of
Onuhn , secretary of the Nebraska club.
Ell A. Bcrnes of Grand Island , president of
the State 'Agricultural society nnd a member
of the executive board of the Nebraska club ;
0. C. Holmes , secretary of the Nebraska
Manufacturers' club , and Prof. Campbell of
Sioux City , la. In the morning the meetIng -
Ing was called to order by W.
H. Lannlng , who Introduced Mr. Holmes to
the large audience. Mr. Holmes spoke for
iome timeon Nebraska and her great farmIng -
Ing benefits. Mr. Holmes was followed by
Mr. Barnes and a number of prominent
Hastings men with brief remarks on the
.condition of the Nebraska farmers as com
pared with farmers in other states , espe
cially In the eastern and southern states.
In rpeaklng of the east Mr. Holmes said
t > at while visiting there recently ho attended
a meeting of the Manufacturers' Association
of the United Statja While talking with men
from the varloun states he found hard time ?
was the only topic , and when lie returned
home he was more firmly convinced tint
Nebraska was no worse oft than many othei
sections. He said It was useless for people
to go elsewhere with the expectation of bet
tering their condition , and what we want Is
to choke off the cry of hard times , utilize
our advantages and work up Immigration , In
place of thinking of emigration.
The afternoon session was attended by
about COO people. A very Interesting talk on
sell culture was undo by Prof. Campbell.
Ho gave the farmers many gosd pointers on
surface packing and frequent cultivating.
Governor Holcomb held the audience forever
over an hour , while he told why Nebraska
was ono of the best agricultural states In
the union , and that hs did not bellevo that
the rain belt was advancing westward , but
that our rainfall would bo Just ns great as
ever. He said the most Important thing for
the Nebraska farmers to do was to cnro for
the moisture' that fell In the early part of
tha season , then happiness and peace would
bo secured for all In this great state.
The evening session was called at 7:30. :
M. A. Hartlgan gave a fine short speech ,
which was followed by the governor and
Mr. Williamson , on the subject of the Ne
braska club and the benefits derived from
such an organization. Prof. Taylor of the
Nebraska university also gave a fine address.

SUPERIOR. Neb. , Jan. 28. ( Special. ) On
January 4 , at the supposed slto of the old
Pawnee village new , White Rock , Kan. ,
a meeting of old settlers was held , and an
organization .formed under tbo name of
the Pawnee Republic Historical society.
Colonel Thomas Shulcr of Jewell county was
elected president , and G. T. Davis of Republic
county secretary. This organization la
formed for the purpose of locating exactly
the extinct Pawnee Republic , for hero , In
1805 , Colonel Zebulon Montgomery Pike ,
while detailed to explore the region and ro-
uources of the Mississippi and surrounding
country , floated tlio , stars and stripes where
the Spinlrh colors had before waved. The
accomplishment of this meant many diffi
culties and much suffering to bo endured
by the bravo Colonel Plko and his twenty
men , as they had provisions for only four
months , whereas the expedition consumed
nine , and everywhere they were forced
to encounter the violent opposition of the
Spanish.
A few days after this motlng Colonel
Shuler , accompanied by two members of the
historical society , passed through here en-
route to Red Cloud , In order to establish
beyond dispute the location of a Pawnee
village lying to the fiouthweet of that city ,
which waa mentioned by Colonel Pike In Ms
reports , and where he stopped for pome
days. Aa these boundaries and locations
are becoming more and moro obscure each
year , the work done by this society will
doubtless bo of Inestimable value to succeed
ing generations.

matter of furnishing frco transportation for
any seed grain which may bo donated to
farmers this spring. Whllo there will bo no
necessity for nn outside call for aid to go
through the winter , yet the Miort crop of
IS01 and almost total failure of last sea
son In this county has placed the majority
of farmers In the county In very close cir
cumstances and unless seed can be furnlMied
to n great many they will be unnblo to put
out any crop. In view of this a petition
asking the railroad company to furnish free
ttnrnportntlon for any seed grain that might
ho donated was prepared nnd forwarded to
the company and In response Messrs. Harris
and Harmon spent the dny In the town nnd
county to more thoroughly ascertain the
needs In the way of food. A meeting wns
held In the evening In the1 Maverick bnnk
and the mnttct' fully discussed. A soliciting
cotrmltlcc , consisting of Horace llartu aini
Chatles Hctzcl , was appointed , who will
visit the towns along tbo line of the Elkhorn -
horn and solicit contributions. The business
men of the place also guaranteed between
3,000 nnd 4,000 bushels of seed to bo dis
tributed on their own account.
The Danish settlement , the most thrifty
farmers In thl community , gave this matter
early consideration about December 1. Each
one who found himself unable to retain sulU-
clcnt seed from his crop registered his name
and the amount which ho would need with
CI'Hs Craig. The amount required anil factH
were nt once communicated to their friends
In eastern Nebraska , lowji and Minnesota

Mr. Brownleo , general manager nnd re
ceiver of the United Presbyterian church of

oC ministers , but no bell. During the series
of revivals which are being hold In their
church they hive been using the United
Presbyterian bell to call sinners to repent
ance and offering In payment there
for free salvation to all wanderIng -
Ing United Presbyterians. This has
evidently rankled In Bronnlec's mind
until toJay , when with the remark thnt
the McthoJlHts and Russian thtstlo were
taking the country , he secured a ladder
nnd placing It In position ascended to the
belfry , where ho removed the wheel from the
boll and transferred It to a place where It
will ba secure from nil encroachment from

The most Interesting reminiscences of Afri
can travelcrc , tourists and explorers relative
to the habits , character nnd peculiarities of
the natives of Africa are those which de-
scrlbo tlio African ns nn athlete. All agree
ns to his wonderful physical development.
Sailors nnd soldiers , o trlch and Ivory ,
hunters who arc familiar with the coast and ' l <
Interior of the country. Its people nnd their
customs , nscrlba the African's magnificent
physique to the pinkish colored stcrculla , .j
nut , preparations of which are now creating 'r
such a furore In the civilized world , which
the natives chew constantly , and which Is
said by them to be n gift from henven. To
It , they claim , they owe their strength ,
health nnd power to withstand hardships.
The nut Is native to Africa , and Is cultivated
In the West Indies. It has been In general
iwo by the Africans for years. Its beneficial
effects on native Africans have been described
4
scribed by the most famous medical writers
nnd scientists of Germany , Franco and Eng
land , and by travelers who have visited
Africa. Wonderful virtues ore arcrlbed to It
ns a tonic nnd stimulant. The native Afri
can 'is the most perfect athlete known , Ho
Is a beautiful specimen of physical power ,
strength and activity. Mentally he Is bright
and happy , possessing n remarkable fund of
vitality and energy.
Repeated efforts have been made to Intro
duce a preparation of this nut which would
represent Its qualities as combined In the
fresh , unchanged nut. All efforts In that
direction fulled , however , until Johnson &
Johnson of No. 92 , William street , this city ,
established a laboratory In the West Indies ,
where the nut Is gathered fresh and put up
In the form of Vlno-Kolafra , the use of
which has of late become nlmopt universal ,
It having received the united endorse
ment of the medical profession.
It contains the unchanged principles of the
fresh nut. and Is a pronounced success In the
treatment of diseases In which n tonic Is
needed. It prevents fatigue , nnd enables /
one , by Its use alone , to undergo great hard- j [
ships of continued duration.
In this age of rapid living the human sys
tem demands something to produce energy , \
prevent fatigue , give strength and tone to
the system to a dcgrea proportionate to the
manner of life. No remedy previous to tha
Introduction of Vlno-Kolafra had been suc
cessful In meeting these requirements. In
the treatment of all nervous diseases ,
anaemia , general debility , heart affectlons.dys-
pfpsla , melancholia , biliousness , diarrhoea ,
Incipient phthisis , and nil affections where a
po'wcrful tonic nnd stimulant nre necessary
Vlno-Kolnfra has proved superior to any
other remedy.
Some Interesting facts were gathered by
the writer from persons of note in regard
to Vlno-Kolafra.
Dr. L. W. Peacock , ox-United States army-
surgeon , corner Erie nnd Eighth streets ,
Jersey City , In relating hlo personal ex
perience with Vlno-Kolafra , said : "I am
decided In my opinion that Vlno-Kolafra Is ,
the finest tonic ever known. Some tlmo ago
my carriage became Involved In a smasbup
and got decidedly the worst of a bad bar
gain. At the repair shop I was Informed
that It would require at least ten days to
reconstruct my vehicle. As my practice Is
very large , I was somewhat bothered at first
aa to what couroo to pursue In the treat
ment of my patients. I finally concluded to
visit my patients on foot and to use
Vlno-Kolafra as n stimulant and tonic to
prevent fatigue and give mo the required
strength to endure the exercise without ex
haustion. I expected , as usual , to bo worn
out by evening of the first day , and waa
most agreeably surprised when I found my
self apparently ao fresh and vigorous as I
was previous to starting on my day's visits.
The same thing happened the second day , and
so on every day until my carriage was
finished. It stimulates the contractions of
muscle cells , which in ordinary labor become -
come loose and lax from exertion , anil by Its )
tonlo effect. . ' ) seems to produce no end of
capacity for labor. I now use and prescribe
It to patients in all cases where a tonlo
stimulant and Invlgorant Is indicated. Afri
cans who use It seem never to grow old ,
but retain their full vigor until death. They
will work all day and dance half the night
under Its effects. I consider It the best tonlo
known. "
Mr. M. McMillan , an electrician of No.
101 East Ninety-second street , said : "In
1867 , when I wa n sailor , wo were anchored
off Port Elizabeth , In Algoa bay , Afrlra.
In the crowd , besides my self , there were an
ostrich hunter and an elephant hunter. In
relating tales concerning the Africans nnd
their characteristics , these huntcr.M dwelt
upon the- fact of the Incessant use by thu
natives of a pinkish white nut which they
ehowcd to give them strength and prevent
dlneaeo. When I read the article on Kolafra
In a World of recent l.'uiio I know It was the
samp nut , and Immediately procured tomu
Vlno-Kolafra. I had been troubled with
malaria , accompanied by a feeling of lassi
tude , dyspepsia and depression , my flesh
bloating at times , In my business I do A
great deal of walking , which made mo so
fatigued that at times I could hardly move.
I was nlno very susceptible to colJa.
Since taking Vlno-Kolafra I have exprl-
enced no malaria or lassitude , my appetite
and digestion are uplendld and my flesh Is
linn. It bus completely overcome that
"tired feeling. " I travel all over the city ,
upstairs and dawn , and always feel fresh
and vigorous. 1 have not bad a cold for a
long time , whllo continually subject to sud
den changes of boat and cold , When I go
out I take a glass of Vliio-Itolufra Instead
of an overcoat It docs mo more good. It Is
the brat thing for general knockedoutness
that I ever saw. "
A very unique and novel plan for toiling
the merits of this widely heralded tonlo mid
