Charles Mlchclson , an American citizen and
special correspondent for several American
papers , who has been in Cuba three months ,
\vas arrojtcd at 2 o'clock this morning In hla
room In the Hotel Inglatcrra by four tecret
ccrvlco detective and a police Inspector.
He had been to Marlanodurlng the dny ,
but he denied that he had gone beyond the
Jurisdiction of the military commanders.
His room was searched and hli private
papers taken , though no specific charge was
then made ncalnst him ,
Lawrence Hetnncourt , his Interpreter , was
nrrtsted later , and at C o'clock both men
were trantifcrcd to Moro castle. Iletan-
court Is said to bo an American citizen also.
Iloth are "Incormmlcados ; " that Is , without
access to any one. The other American
correspondents ) tried to sec them , but were
win bio to do so. American Consul General
Williams has notified the Spanish authorities
that , they must fnrnlsh him with the charges
against the prisoners. Mr. Williams will
see that they are treated according to treaty.
Later General Ochnndo , chief of staff to
General Wcyler , announced officially that the
men were arrested for violating the procla
mation of General Weyler of passing the
rebel lines and for assaulting a civil guard.
Prlcnds of the pr'sonors ' called upon Gen
eral Wevlsr tonight and represented that they
were Innocent of the charges. General
AVeyler said that if this were found to be
true Mlchelson and Hetnncourt would prob
ably be released on Thursday.
IlEHKLS AUANUON HOUSES.
No news has been received of any fresh
encounters with the main bodies , of Gomez
and Maceo's commands. The commandant at
San Jose reports that after the last engage
ments around the Morales sugar cstato the
relielfi abandoned over the Held 150 horses
nud that Macco was wounded In the arm
nt an engagement on Elgato sugar estate.
One rebel was killed there , In whoso
pocket a note was found , which read as
fellows : "Carlllo , send mo salt ; have none.
Gem ° z. "
Colonel Cavestany , who Is operating at
Hoyo Colorado , reports that he found the
body of a man who was hanged by order
of thn rebel chief , Mora.
Heports of musketry were heard last night
In the direction of Ualnca , a town on the
Matan/ns dlv'slon of the United railway.
Troops have been sent there from Havana
and Jarruco.
A new military hospital containing 100
beds is shortly to be established at I'alrna
Sorlao , a town near Santiago do Cuba.
Heferrlng to the circular Issued a short
time ago by the governor of Matanzas ad
dressed to the planters of the province re
garding the starting ot sugar mills about
the middle of March , the wording of which
was somewhat vague , but the meaning cf
which was wired to- the World at tha tlmo.
the Dlarlo says editorially : "U is the 'duty
ot all sincere and local loyal Spaniards to
accept all that may be said or suggested
by way of offering the government whatever
means It may need In order not to retard
the pacification Of the Island and to assure
nt any cost the sovere'gnty of the nation
over this region. Prom this standpoint we
have nothing to object to appeals made to
tha planters or to the municipalities to sus
tain at their expense armed bodies and to
strengthen the volunteer flies with men
loaly ! attached to Spain with the object
of prelecting the propsrty and lives of peace
ful cltlzene
THINK IT GOOD POLICY.
"This la no doubt humine. It Is cer
tainly practical and worthy of our authorities-
especially Is It woithy of Spain. We , how
ever , found -It strange that tnich Important
tuggesitons should be embodied In a circular
originating wan Hie governor of Matanras
nnd published In Hint province only. Instead
cf emanating from army headquarters , or
at leat , from the office of the secietnry of
the government , to Insure Its enforcement
throughout the entire island. It was alto
hard for us to credit the authority of the
statement , purporting to come fram General
Weyler , that compliance with the Instruc
tions given In the circular way a sure means
to make the sugar crop an efficacious medi
cine for the Ills that aflllct UP , and that
General Weyler had verbally given Governor
Prat orders empowering him to carry them
out , with the distinct understanding that It
is Weylcr's determined wish that sugar
grinding should begin with the least delay
"So far we have not learned anything
definite about till. , but wo believe that the
Mme has cnme to break the silence , which
we had kept In order to placeno obstacle
In tha way of the efforts to crush the re
bellion that are making , becaupp many
planters want to. satisfy themselves whether
It in so that It Is the determined wish of
GenetJl Weyler that grinding should begin
with the least delay , whether by beginning
operations at once they can escape economic
dltTlcuUloi and lastly whether they would incur
any responsibility If , through lack of means ,
they ore unable to organize and maintain
armed forces.
"In our opinion General Weyler pimply
Bild that It was hl expectation that the
grinding of the crop would probably begin
about the middle of March , provided the
military operations should continue ai suc
cessful as heretofore. And as the pursuit ot
the enemy grows more vigorous , as Ii.i3 been
rroved by the recent engagements at Cata-
llna , Punta Dravn , Guanno , Dagilz , Lima and
other places , It l reasonable to nsjiimo that
General Woyler Is today moro than ever
convinced that In the last half of March the
thieu wctftrin provinces will be cleared of
Insurgents , nt lct , to such an extent as to
permit ot grinding without serious danger ,
Houc > v r. circumstance. ) , beyond his power
nr centre ) , may have a bearing on the mat
ter. Should March bo attended by heavy
ruins , rendering It Imporslblo to haul the
eano , or If. on the. contrary , an extreme
drouth should n > dry the llclilt" , that a tangle
Hpark , aided by strong winds , would produce
a conflagiatlon and destroy extensive cane
fields , of course , subsequent events would
not utHUe the prophesy as to the crop. "

When In the 1'leld.
HAVANA , Keb. 25. Close to Moro castle
at the entrance to this harbor Is a beach
termed Playa Chlvo ( Goat's beach ) , so called
on account of the many goatg which browse
In Its vicinity. H transpired today that one
night last week n sentry on duty at the cas
tle saw some white looking forms approachIng -
Ing stealthily. The soldier challenged the
approaching forms and receiving no answer
discharged his rlflo at them. The shot
arcuscd the garrison of the fort , the- guard
turncll out and a number ot other soldiers
opined fire upon the supposed enemy , with
the result that the latter disappeared , The-
next morning an examination was made of
the beach and several goats were found dead
about the beach , killed by the rifles of the
soldiers , who must have done better shooting
than usual when engaged with the Insur
gents ,
Considerable amusement was caused by this
fact and the affair was upon the point of
being forgotten , when persistent rumors
were circulated In this city that a number
of Insurgent" , said to be thlrtnve men , had
bsen executed near Moro castle during the
night , The report was denied by the Span
ish ofllclnls , but It continued to circulate
until the captain general not only felt called
upon to make an odlclal denial , but ordered
on Investigation. Eventually the matter nar
rowed down to the following facts : Some
soldiers , not on guard that night , who left
Moro castle for Havana the morning after
the alarm of the garrison by the nolso of
the shooting of the goats on Plajn Chlvo ,
were questioned by people of not much Intel
ligence In this city concerning the cause of
the firing , The soldiers were unable to glvo
any definite explanation of the subject , but
ono of thorn was foolish enough to say that
he believed some insurgents were executed
during the nlglit. The report spread and
was naturally magnified and zealously clr-
ctlatcd by the friends of the Insurgents until
It was used by the enemies of the Spaniards
to attack the captnln general and to blacken
his character as much ns possible But In
stead of executing the thirty-five Insurgents
who have been confined in Moro castle the
captain general has just liberated nil those
of them against whom there was no clear
proof of guilt and thcro hns been no execu
tion at Moro castle or elsewhere with the
knowledge- the captain general since his
arrival here from Spain.
In addition , Centra ! Wejler has most
generously pardoned the mayorof Managua ,
Senor Crlsto , and his brother , who were re
cently captured by the Spanish after having
ra'sed a numerous band of Insurgents nnd
joined the forces of the enemy.
The Spanish author ties have detained
Charles Mlchelson , the correspondent of n
New York and a San Pranclsco paper , and
his assistant , Lorenzo Betancourt , both
Americans. They are charged with having
disobeyed the orders of the major of Marina
In leaving that place nnd going Into the In
surgent lines nt Puntn lirava and Guata do
Mariano. The United States consul general ,
Mr. Hamon 0. Will ams , hns be n notified
nnd the friends of the prisoners are doing
everything possible for them.
It now seems to bo definitely established
that Antonio Maceo was not killed near
Placetas ; , as vvns generally believed. A relative
of Maceo , who lives In this c'ty , admits ,
lion ever , that ho has heard from good sources
that the Insurgent leader is wounded In the
arm as a result of the engagement nt El Gao.
Among the dead Insurgents found in hills
about Candsla was a man , evidently a mes
senger , who had In his pocket n note ad
dressed to Garlllo , one of the Insurgent
lenders , saying : "Send me some salt. " This
note waa signed , ' "Gomez. "
During the different engagements about
San Jose de Las Lajus 150 horses belonging to
the insurgents were killed or wounded ,
among them being the cne ridden by the
I n pur pent colonel , Colunga.
The troops burled the bodies of scventj
Insurgents which were picked up near San
Jose de Las Lajas The Insurgents have
hanged two volunteers.
United States Consul General Williams
has had n prolcnged conference with Captain
General Weyler with reference to Messis
Mlchelson nnd Betancourt. the American
newspaper eorrcspondents , who were arrested
today. Up tu the present time Mr. Wil
liams' efforts on behalf of the prisoners have
been without nny result.
A leport has been received that the column
of Vicuna has had 0,11 engagement near Cor
ral False , Mntnnzos , with Maximo Q.mez ,
but no details of the fight are given.
The Insurgent leader and ex-bandit , Tuerto

NEW YOniC , Tob. 25 The Iron stcnmer
Bermuda , flying the British flag , was boarded
and seized by revenue officers off Liberty
Islnnd last nlglit. The Bermuda has been
under the \\atch of Spanish spies for some
time. They had reason to believe It had
been bought by Cuban re\olutlonlst9 nnd
was fitting out as a filibuster. It has been
anchored ofl Liberty Island since last Satur
day , and yciterday there was evidence that
the ship was preparing lor sea. At 11
o'clock , Just after a largo party of Cubans
had gene aboard , the revenue cutter Hudson
steamed alongside and a boarding party ar
rested all on the Bermuda. At midnight
the revenue cutter Chandler started tlo\vn
the bay to catch a lighter loaded with ammu
nition , and took another party of Cubans
who had started to board the Ucrmuda. The
Bermuda , an English-built steamer , was re
cently purchased by a firm suspected of
being In league with the revolutionary party.
Labi Saturday It was taken to the coal docks
at Port Liberty and there coaled up. Then
It went to the Liberty Island anchorage.
When the tug ran alongside the marshals
and Plnkeiton men swarmed nboird. No
resistance was offered bj the frightened
crow nnd Cubans , who had just como aboard.
Every man was seized. Among the captives
i\ns General Garcla's sou , and several other
prominent Cubans. Four bags of gold were
seized by the marshals , and a quantity of
ammunition.
Commissioner Shields has ordered the re
lease of all the men arrested In connection
with the Bermuda alleged filibustering expe
dition , with the exception of General Garcia ,
Captain Hughes and two other leaders.
These will be arraigned before the commis
sioners at once.
The prisoners were released bscause their
arrest was In violation of the Instructions
i'3nt out from Washington last week by At
torney General Harmon , that suspicion was
merely not sufficient ground for arrest , but
that evidence of Intention to violate the
neutrality law was required.
Besides the charge that the United State ?
makes against the prisoners of violating" the
neutrality laws , the Spanish consul general
accuses them of the same- offense In connec
tion with the expedition on board the J. W.
Hawkins. When the prisoners were brought
before Commissioner Shields , United States ,
District Attorney McFarlane took charge of
the case. General Callxto Garcia was first
arraigned. The charge of having violated
the neutrality laws was read to him , after
which his case was set for hearing on March
3 , and on the two complaints the ball was
placed at $2,000. Similar action was taken
In the cases of Capta'n ' Samuel Hughes and
John Brabazon. Jolin D. Hart asked for a
speedy examination. It was set for Friday
next. The fifth prisoner , Benjamin J. Guerra ,
was also charged with vlo'atlng the United
States statutes In taking part In a m'l tnrj
enterprise against the kingdom of Spain
As there was but one complaint against
Guerra , ball was fixed at $1.500 and the ex
amination adjourned until March 3. '
MANY WERE ON THE HAWKINS.
Many of those whom the marshals took
Into custody last night are survivors of the
expedition which set out for Cuba on board
the steamer J. W. Hawk'ns , vvli'ch craft
sank abstit as soon as It put to tea , a num
ber of the party being drowned. John D
Hart of J. D Hart & Co. of Philadelphia wae
a prisoner at the barge office all the foie-
noon. He cxpresscj great Indignation at
the treatment he had received from the mar-
- ' sis.
"I chartered the Bermuda , which vessel ,
I understand , was recently sold by Outer-
bridge to a firm In Germany. I went aboard
the vessel at 9 o'clock last night , hearing
there was some trouble. When I went up
the gangway I found about 150 PInkcrton
men , marshals and newspaper men on board
I was at once placed under arrest. I am
still under arrest. The captain and steward
were taken cff last night and so was about
$4,000 In s'lver. which has not been re
turned , " Mr. Hart denied all knowledge
rf what the cargo of the vessel cons'sts of
or that the people on board were filibusters.
Amonrr the others arrested on board the
Bermuda was Benjamin Guerra , treasurer of
the Cuban junta In tMa city. The money
captured amounted to $4,000 In silver , In
four bags. The money was In Spanish sols
and pesos. Tags on the bags showed that
they had been put up by Handy & Harmon ,
brokers of this city. Being questioned on
the subject , Mr. Handy said : "We are con
tinually supplying silver currency of the
South and Central American republics to
exporting houses In this city In amounts
of all sorts , and It would be next to Im
possible for us to trace the four bags tint
the United States marshal holds by the
marks , which specify only amount and
weight. The amount In the captured bags ,
$4,000 In sols and pesos , Is worth In Ameri
can money about $2,000 , the sol being the
South American dollar and the peso the dollar
lar of Central America and the West In
dies. "
A. C. Goiuales. a lawyer of this city con
nected with the Cuban junta , estimated that
the expedition had cost about $100,000. The
Cubans , he said , were by no means discour
aged by the present disappointment In car
rying out their plans. There was no way ,
ho said , of discovering who had given the In-
founatlon to the representatives of Spain ,
"I am almost sure , " he paid , "that there
are at least a half dozen Spanish spies In
the room with the prisoners. ' No one can
pick them out and their Identity can only
be learned by chance Incident or Informa
tion from outside sources. The Cubans can
play that game , too , "
MARSHALS MAKE A STATEMENT.
The man who gave his name as Captain
Hughes was supposed to bo the captain of
the Bermuda , and the Spaniards wore par
ticularly Interested In his capture. It Is
Bald It was he who conveyc-d tlio Mnrtlnl-
Callxtn party and a quantity of arms and
ammunition to Cuba and landed them bo-
incon uuuiiiunanio mm Bunuago ,
Marshal McCarthy authorised the follow
ing Etatemcnt , made by Deputy Kennedy ,
showing how the capture was made , and that
the authorities were acting under orders
from Secretary Olney at Washington :
"On February 21 , " eald Kennedy , "the
marshal received an Intimation that the sup
porters of the junta wcro about to fit up
an expedition bound for Cuba , An Investi
gation was made and the report found to
bo true. On February 23 Attorney General
Olney telegraphed that the Bermuda , Ijlng
off Bedloe'u Island , would BOOH attempt to
carry men and ammunition to Cuba. He
elated that If there were Indications to that
effect the marshal was to detain the ship ,
"The attorney general , lowever , told the
marshal that ho must have positive proof of
a filibustering expedition before taking nny
action. He was not to act upon suspicion.
Upon the rece'pt of th's order a revenue
cutter wan engaged and a sharp watch kept
on His Bermuda. The marshal kept In eon-
gtant communication with the Washington
authorities.
'Tor the past week tugbrnte have vltlud
the Bermuda with provisions , but until last
night no attempt was made to ship men or
ammunition , a ho revenue cutter wo * off
about 1,500 feet from the Bermuda last night
at 10 o'clock , when the tugboat W. J , Me-
Aldln came alongside the Bermuda. As teen
au the tusboat wan made fuel men swarmed
from Its cabin ready to board th ; BcrmuJa.
Tl at teemed to be proof and the cutter came
alongside.
AHHKSTCD THE MEN.
"We lock all the men when the tugboat
went awa > , Tbe tugboat cumo back upaln
with more men and we detatiud It , At that
time the Bermuda was malting preparations
to sail. The anchor was being hauled up and
the engineer wag testing hlg machinery.
"We got the next batch of men and then de
tained the tugboat. A little , later the tug
boat McAldln Brothers cnmo along- lthout ,
any lights. She had a batch of men , In
cluding General Garcia. We paUiercd them
In nnd then put some deputies on board the
Bermuda. After that we got the Strnnnlmn.
"Tho Stranalmn was captured while on
Its way down to the Bermuda. Everthing
was made ready on board tie Rlrnnnhnn to
put the firearms on the Bermuda while the
ship was steaming out to ii. When the
marshal loaded the Strnnnhan ho found
about 100 boxes of rifles on the deck. They
were concealed under kindling wood. Ho
also found Captain Hughes , for whom lie
had a warrant. All this was cons'dcrcd ' proof
and the tugboat was taken charge of. It
was sent to the barge office.
"Marshal McCarthy , when ho boarded the
Bermuda , called the captain up ami placed
him under arrest * Then ho disconnected the
machinery of ( ho ship by rrmbvlng the pis
ton rod and took charge of the Instruments
nred In navigation.
"All of the tugs involved In the prepara
tions were detained , but with the exception
of the Stranalmn , they have been released.
The Stranahan will be held awaiting advices
from Washington.
"The crew of the Bermuda vvns permitted
to return to the ship. Two deput > marshals
are now In charge of the vessel. The Ber
muda will bo detained until the Washington
authorities dccldo otherwise.
"This expedition was a big one. The rifles
seized weigh about forty tons. "

MANAGUA , Nicaragua , Feb. 25 ( via Gal-
vcston. ) The flag of rebellion lias once moro
been raised In Nicaragua and reports re
ceived here from the north this morning
show that the whole district no'th of Like
Managua , Including the departments of the
west and the north , ore In open rebellion
against President Xcn ! > a. Mar.tl.il law has
been proclaimed and the Improving of men
Into the army Is being pushed rapidly. The
president Ij supported by a wing of the lib
eral party and 2,000 men arc already under
arms. This town , the Capital , is being
actively made ready for defense , as the In
surgents , \vho > headquarters are at Loon ,
the old capital of Nicaragua' and the center
of the old Roman Catholic "population as op
posed to the Catholics cf more modern views ,
are expected to make an attack upon this
city. A strong detachment of the Leonlsts
has already left that town nnd It is believed
that Managua will be attacked tomorrow or
the next day.
The conservative party In this city met
thla morning and resolved to glyo moral sup
port to President Zclnyn , and alp determined
to send ex-President Cardenas and General
Alvlgil to Granada , near Lake Nicaragua , to
inform their partisans thcro of their determi
nation to support the president.
The insurgents are supported oy a prrtlon
of the political party In povver , but up to the
present what Is known asr the opposition
party proper has not joined , "the rebels.
The antagonistic feelings of , tbe people of
Leon and its vicinity and tliosp of Managua
date from away back and a.te ic < inded upon
old jealousies hiving religion . .ostheir basis
and more modern Ideas , on the other hand , aD
their excuse
Unhappily for President Zelaya , a large
consignment of modern arms1 and artillery ,
purchased In Germany , which arrived here
shortly after the occupation of Corlnto by the
British , and which , at one timeIt was feared
would fall Into the hands 6f the- British , n'd- '
mlral , have , owing to political' Intrigues
found their way to Leon aml js.re now to bo
used against the president and ( his pupjwrteis-
The excuse for pending the arms to Leon
was that , a , cordon 'party here was in favor
cf a dlctato-ijlp being declared and that ,
therefore , It waa advisable that the modern
arms and ammunition shtuld be stored at
Loon , where , It was asserted , there was less
likelihood of a demonstration or against
the government. The Leonitts were power
ful enough to have tholr vny In the matter ,
nnd It would seem from''present Indications
that tl'la was only part of the put to over
throw President Zelaya. '
The United States ministerMr. . Lqvvls
Baker , has cabled to Washington , requesting
tl at the United States gunboat Alert , which
Is understood to be near this coast , be dis
patched to Corlnto , In order to protect the
property of the United States citizens
President Zelaja has a number of troops
forty miles west of this city , but he Is with
out Information as to the exact doings of the
revolutionists. The forces "of the conaerva-
tlvo party have all rallied to the support of
the president during the present crlsh
The sum and substance of the demands
of the Leonlsts Is a complete revision of the
constitution , giving further and more popular
representation and that the constitution In
the future yhotild contain provisions making
It Impossible for a dictatorship to be de
clared.

Minister of the Interior Castillo read Pres
ident Crerpo's message jesjerday to both
houses assembled 111 the Senate chamber.
The gillery was filled , the diplomatic corpj
being present , with the exception of the Ger
man minister. The American minister and
his wife were there. The message nas re
ceived with applause. There was only a
brief reference to the Guiana matter. No
plan of action was outlined , and the message
contained nothing concerning a direct under
standing for the renewal of diplomatic- rela
tions with England. It expressed giatitudo
for the position taken by the United Stales ,
adding that It was not Just that Ven ? < uola
thoulil be denied the relief of arbitration ,
which would bo extended to a more power
ful nation , nor that It should be prevented
from exercising Jurisdiction over Its own
territory , pending a settlement.
President Cleveland was thanked for hav
ing ended a question whlc'4 Mad been a con-
start menace to the Integrity of American
nations.
'The. message mentioned the name of the
American minister. Geper.il Allen Thomas ,

LONDON , Feb. 25 It was probably not
without design that the appearance of Dr.
Jameson for arraignment In the Bow street
police court was dela > ed all through the dny.
There was a disposition to hilarity manifest
In the locality of the court from an early
hour , and It was evident that thcro was a
set purpose pervading the London masses to
glvo "Dr. Jim" an ovation. The Brills' ! au
thorities desire , as far as possible , to glvo no
appe-irance of encouraging puch a demonstra
tion of approval of a citizen who has been
handed over to them by a power against
which ho anight to wage war , In the faith
that Great Britain will see justice done to
him , and will properly avcngo the outrage
done to a friendly power. But the British
government Is well aware that although Dr.
Jameson lo brought to England for trial as
n criminal , ho Is , In the popular ejc , a
hero , and his raid Into the Transvaal , far
frc.m being viewed as a political enterprise ,
la looked upon as a chivalrous and knightly
adventure to succor hard pressed friends and
fellow countrymen. It was for this reason
that the crowds about Bow street police
court were kept waiting and everything pos
sible done to make n m > story cf the move
ments of Dr. Jameson. It was hoped the
ardor of his admirers would be cooled by the
long wait , and the noUy mob waiting to
cheer him would grow weary and depirt.
But all this strategy was without avail.
The people Insisted upcn waiting. They grew
Impatient and somewhat Irritable , to be sure ,
and many rumors were circulated among
them tint they had been duped Into corning
to Bow street , while the distinguished pris
oner had been quietly smuggled Into another
court and thcro arraigned and quietly balled.
It did not take long , however , to prove the
falsity of thepo rumory , and the crowd re
newed Its vigil with reawakened zest.
At 3:1C : p. m the faith of the crowd that they
had not been waiting in vain was quickened
by the arrival at Bow street police court of
a party of aristocratic friends of Dr. Jame-
scn. Among these were the duke of Aber-
corn , Viscount Chekssa , the earl of Arllugton ,
Colonel Stracey , private secretary to the
marquis of Salisbury ; several colonial office
oniclJb , Mr. Charles E Ward , M. P. , and
many other people of note. Many of these
wc-o bhown to prominent places in the court
loom , which way thus made to prercnt an
animated scene during' the period of the
still further wait. As a matter of fact , it
vvaa quite Into In the day before Dr. Jame
son was landed at all. He was brought on a
tug to Frith on the Thames , and was then
conducted by a further roundabout and ob-
ucuro route to Bow street police court. As
a consequence It was almost G 30 in the evenIng - -
Ing when ho wao finally driven up to the en
trance of the court and brought in. The
authorities thus succeeded In evading any
very nplsy demonstration on the part ot the
waiting crowds outside , ay they were scarcely
aware that the prisoner wan amcng thorn
befo-e he had disappeared In the court room.
CHEERED BY SYMPATHIZERS.
But Ms entrance to tl'e court room was
the signal for a remarkable scene. Evident ! )
nvcryono In the court room wab of one m.nd
In sympathizing with hint. All were h s
rlends and all rose and uncavorc.1 upon lm
ippearance , giving him a hearty cheer. I *
was In vain that the court officers Eoiish'
to quell the demonstration. The effort to dee
o seemed little more than cursory.
Tl-e charge lodged against Dr. Jameson
nn'l fourteen of hit,1 fellow prisoners wa-
then declared to be "warring against a
friendly state. " After the charge had been
read , Mr Henry Matthews , Q. C. , who was
homo secretary In the former Salisbury gov-
e'lnipnt , announced that In view of the
Importance of the case the law officers of
the crown would conduct the rro ccutlon
Formal evidence was then presented as to
the circumstances of the arie t. The law
yers who were In court on behalf of Dm
accused man abKed that their ii ° rbonal rer
ognlzance be accepted fcr ball.
Sir John Br dge , the chief magistrate of the
How street police court , from h s place < n
the benoti. said that before deciding upon
Uio ball he felt that he ought to obscrvn
that In his opinion a graver offense could not
be charged ncalnst men than that charged
against the prisoners. It was a crime of
HIP highest possible giavlly , the maclstiate
continued , nnd It must bo to treated by
everjone , when the ) consider that the com-
m'sslon of Birch an olftnce might create wai
between countries prevlomly friendly. The
circumstances of the present case were most
peculiar. He felt satisfied that the prisoners
would appear when wanted. He , therefore ,
accepted their personal rcuiRnlianccj and
fixed their bail at 12,000 ( $10,000) ) each.
Sir John Bridges addressed the prlyoneis.
personally In a grave and seriouH vein. He
urged thorn for their own talced and for
the saKe of the good faith of the country to
refrain from appearing vvlieie public excite
ment would be arauwd by their appealance ,
or In any way lenllng tlie'iihelves to the
dltturbanco of the peace.
Notwithstanding the t-srloiU'Te-ss of Sir
Jolm'fj tone , and the reniaikw depiccatlng any
demonstration ovei thu prisoner H , the with
drawal of the pri oners was uccompanlcl by
a renewed outbieak nf cheering Th court
officers tit about reptoilng quiet and by
vigorous romonstranccj Dually succeeded In
quelling the disturbance. When the court
icorn had become quiet again , Sir John
Bridges . "aid wternl ) : "That fort of thing
might bring the name of England Into con
tempt. "
GIVEN ANOTHER OVATION.
Meanwhile a btlll wilder scene was being
enacted ouUIde the couit room. The piificn-
cra had been smuggled Into the court room
po unexpectedly and with wich dexterity that
the awaiting mob uav cheated out of theli
opportunity foi vhoutlng. But tluj were
ready this time. Dr. Jamcbon'H appeaianco
outside the bullying was the signal for u
wild outburst of cheering , throwing of hats
in the air and a tiemcndous pressure to get
up within reach of the popular Idol , The
crowd's Intention ! ! were filenJly , entirely so ,
but they threatened bodll ) harm to the ob
ject of their admiration Dr. Janieton wai
quickly hemmed In b > a pinging throne
who apparently bought to carry him , and hu
made lily way through them with great diffi
culty. When he finally reached Ms cab , he
was driven off without waiting to make any
flgn of acknowledgment of the popular ova
tion.
Inblde < and outsldo Bow stitet pollen couit ,
In anticipation of the arrival of Dr Jamcion ,
the principal subject dlxnissod was thechaiga
upon which he would bo arraigned , LavvjerH
have cl&lmed that he can be eliiiiged with

and his followers committed on act similar
to the acts committed by pirates at tea
and that pirates and land pirate ; evidently
come under the samp category nnd uliould
bo punished under the earno provisions of
the law.
Then again It has been asserted that Dr.
Jameson should be charg d with high
t'eabon , on the ground Hat he was caught
barlng arms wltluut the authority of his
goveimnont In the teriltory of a foreign
power. This view of thu case , however , In

Deacon Dexter of the church tc tincd that
after the Davidson pcnmlnl had been made

that Dr. Brown must not drag her Into It.
She ndmlred Brown and would even Ho and

declined to make any contract with Mrs.
Stockton.
The counsel then took a recess to discuss

robbers entered the City Natlonil bank at
2.4o this afternoon and demanded the money
of Cashier Dorsey , who roslstctl them.
Shooting began , resulting In the death of
Cashier Frank Dorsey and the wounding of
Bookkeeper P. P. Larrgford Langford's
wounds are not serious , being slight flesh
wounds. The robbers secured only a few
hundred dollars In sliver. They then
mounted their horses and made a run for
their lives. By this tlmo many of the citi
zens had armed themselves and a Brmll
battle took place One of the robber's
hort'2s ' was shot from under him and It Is
believed the robber was wounded. Ho
mounted behind his partner and abcut a
mile from town met a farmer In n buggy.
The ) took his horses and made a break for
the hills. In the meantime the citizens had
secured horses and begun the pursuit , the
leaders following within a quarter of a mile
of the outlaws.
The Panhandle and the City National binks
Immediately offered a reward of $1,000 for
their capture , dead of alive. The latest re
ports are that the robbers are corraled In a
large thicket nine miles from town. The
thicket Is burrounded by twenty-five or
thirty determined men , fully aimed , and es
cape la almost Impossible. The ) hive sent
In for twenty-five additional men , who have
Just startd. Foster Cra'vfoid , one of the
robbers who killed Cashier Dorsey , Is said
to bo a noted desperado. It Is also re
ported that one of the famous Chilstlan gang

LITTLE HOCK , Ark. , Feb. 25 A special
to the Gazette from Warren , Ark. , says : A
daring but unsuccessful attempt was male
to rob the Merchants' and Planters' bank of
this place today. About 2.30 o'clock three
men entered the bank and two of them
naked ! around behind the enclosure , wheio
Mr. Adnlr , the cashier , was seated In con-
verratlon with Messrs. T. M. Goodwin and
D. W. Button.
Their first salutation was : "Hold up your
hards. "
Mr. Adalr sprang for his pistol , when the
: i > en commenced shotting , and Mr. Goodwin
received what Is thought to bo a mortal
wound and Mr. Adalr was shot through the
shoulder. He returned the fire nnd evl-
Jently wounded one of the men , as when he
rede off he was seen to be bleeding. The
'Iring of the pistols startled the citizens ,
v ho came running from all directions , and
the robbers were forced to retire without ac-
ccirpllshlng their object. As they rode out
of town they kept up a fusllade of shots and
went northwest of town. The plans were
well laid and no doubt the bank would have
'jeen looted but for the promptness of Mr.
Adalr with his pistol. Mr. Goodwin Is In a
critical condition. Mr. Adalr's wound Is a
very painful one , but not necessarily danger
ous. Several cltl/cris had narrow cscapas
from the flying bullets nnd the Interior of
the bank Is perforated with bullet holes.

Sherman , .Mnrrlll mid l'r > c nnd
the Tree Silver Aiumtlo I
from Colorado.
WASHINGTON , Fob , 25 After the senate ,
had disposed of much routine business to
day , Mr. Allen , populist of Nebraska , offered
a resolution for the appointment of James B.
Lloyd of North Carolina as second nsMstnnt.
doorkeeper of the senate. This speedily developed - -
veloped n sharp controversy. Mr , Sherman
cilled attention to the fact that by an ar-
tangemrnt by both sides of the senate , two.
> oung men , ono uallsfactory to republican
scmtors and the other satisfactory to the
democrats , were appointed. It was needle's ,
Mr. Sherman said , that an office should be
created ,
Mr. Allen responded that one official had
been chosen to look after republican caucus
secrets and another for democratic caucus
secrets , It was most appropriate In view of
the proportions which the populist party wati
assuming In the sonata that n populist officer
bu chosen.
There was considerable further discussion ,
but the resolution finally went over.
Mr. Morrlll , chairman of the finance com
mittee , Immediate ! ) followed with a distinct
surprise In the form of n resolution to take
up the'tariff bill. Mr. Morgan began with a
brief ptatcment ns to the complications on
the tariff bill. He snld It had been apparent
for many months that there was a deficiency
In the revenues , During every month slnco
the present tariff bill went Into effect ( hero
had b ° en a deficiency
"How was It before ? " Inte'jeetcd Mr. Hill.
Mr. Morrlll went on to ntate that the de
ficiency up to thlo time reached $20,000,000.
If wo wcta on at the same rote the dcfl-
clcrcy would bo $ ' 50,000,000 for the year. It
was certainly manifest that congress should
do something to relieve the treasury and as
sist In the revival of bu lness. Therefore ,
concluded the senator , ho moved that tho-
Bcrrte proceed to the consideration of the
tariff bill. ; i
The roll call proceeded with many Inter- j
ruptlons In order to allow scmtors to pair.
The announcement that Mr. Merrill's motion
had been defeated ajes , 2J ; nayp , 33 , vvaa
not unexpected In view of the vote some-
days ago. The detailed vote was as follows :

The nnnouncement of the vote wna the
signal for n remarkable colliuy between Mr.
Morrlll nnd Mr. Teller. ADioon as the vote-
was announced Mr. Morrlll again addressed
the senate.
It was now evident , ho Mid , that the re
publican party was In the minority In the *
United States senate. A chorus of derlslvo
laughter came from the democratic eldo of
the chamber at this statement. Mr , Morrlll ,
not noticing the Interruption , proceeded testate
state that In his Judgment the tariff bill was
defeated by aoto Including five silver re
publicans and fix popullatB. There was no
substantial change In the present and former
votes It settled all questions of doubt. The
senator tnld the republican members of the
finance committee would bo ready at any
tlmo before congress adjourned to ccmo to
the relief of the treasury. "But as to this
bill , " concluded Mr. Morrlll , "I do not think
It would become mo to-ask any further time. "
Mi. Teller secured recognition as soon as
Mr. Morrlll concluded. . The Colorado senator
spoke with Intense earnestness and feeling
and at times a vein of sarcasm and bitter
ness was evident. He referred scornfully
to the nsseitlon of Mr. Morrlll that there
was not a icpubllcan majority In the senate.
That was a fact that had long been undor-
Btcod , Thla statement , said Mr. Teller , came
with a motion out of tlmo and out of place-
to proceed with the tariff bill. The senator
from Vermont , Morrlll , declared that certain
senators on the republican Bide of the
chamber are no longer members of the re
publican party. The senator from Montana ,
Carter , who was In the judgment of Mr.
Teller as Rood n republican ns the senator
from Vermont , Morrlll , had moved to recom
mit the bill.
TELLER MAKES SOME CHAGES.
"I charge , " proceeded Mr. Teller , "and I
will seek to prove later that this tariff bill
was never presented with nny purpose of
"If the senator from Vermont , " continued
Mr. Teller , "thinks ho ean ombarrasn these
who have been ns devoteJ to the republican
party as ho has been , then ho Is mistaken.
I will follow my own judgment on thla
question. And I will stay In the republican
party In spite of the senator from Vermont.
"This Bliam effoit to pass a tariff bill , "
added Mr , Teller , "ttns degrading to the
American senate. It was degrading to these
who took part In It. " Mr. Morrlll Interrupted
to say , "I bnio lead no man out of the
republican party , "
Mr. Teller responded thut the whole Bplrlt
of Mr , Merrill's course wan In this line of
driving out of the party all those who did
not agree with him , It was the same Intolerance
erance tihown by the metropolitan press ,
which had already read the Hllver republicans
out of the party ,
Mr. Sherman replied to Mr. Teller nnd
urged the senate to adopt some measure for
the relief of the treasury ,
Mr. Fryo said : "Ix > t us accept the ver
dict , let us consider the bill an dead and let
the responsibility for It * fate rest where It
bclonga. "
H was ten minutes past 2 , the hour for
taking up tha Cuban resolution , when Mr.
Morgan wau rccognl/ed lo proceed with lib
speech on this question ,
Mr. Gray spoke of the forbearance tha
United States had long wliown toward the
Spanish rule over Cuba , which woo a con
stant source of Irritation , Wo could not stlflo
the reeling ! ) aroused by the pad condition ! !
and the Bufferings of the Cuban people.
Mr. Gray proceeded I ? urge that the rec
ognition of belligerency was not within ( ho
powers of congress. Tha president had ( ha
solo power In that direction.
This statement brought out a plmrp legal
difference between Mr. Morgin and Mr. Gray ,
the former asserting that the president bad
no power to rccognUti belligerents without
the approval of con res , The wsnator urged ]
the adoption of sympathetic resolutions.
