HAVANA , Cuba , March 16. ( Now York
World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) The '
vicinity of Mariano , a pretty tmburb of
Havana , near the rea , six miles to the west
ward , a favorite abiding place for well-to - doter
citizen ? , was the sccno last night of a ter
rlble catastrophe , the exact locality being
Cano , a migar estate near Mariano. Spanish
column No. 7 , moving In dense tropical dark
ness , unexpectedly came on another detach
ment of Spanish troops known technically
as Iho llerena column. The commander of
each column mlstoik the other for Insur
gents. The Cano estate was burning from
61 Incendiary flro , and the lieutenant colonel
commanding the battalion San Qulntln pro
ceeded to the spot. As his command approached
preached It was fired upon without warn
ing , without even a call for halt. He
naturally returned the fire , and several vol
leys were discharged before the mistake was
discovered. Ono captain , four lieutenants
Mid twelve soldlera had boon killed and
twenty-seven wounded. A small band of
rebcln had been In the vicinity only a short
tlmo previous , and they were supposed to
Have returned again.
The affair Is Important aside from Its unfortunate -
fortunate nature , as It goes to prove- that
when the Spanish troops meet nn enemy
that will stand they will Inflict damage.
Within a few minutes there were more losses
than In nine-tenths of the so-called battles
with rebels.
General Weylcr Is greatly distressed over
the affair. . , .
Mncco and the other rebel leaders arc cast-
ward of the line between San Fellpse and
Batabano. His movement westward s
checked for the present at least. Gomez Is
on the line of railway near Jorelanos. No
i skirmishing Is reported.
WILL AVENGE DELGADO'S HURT.
I am authorized to cable the following :
I called on Captain General \\oyler today
and laid before him the story of Joseph
Gregory Delgado , the American whoso eon
was dangerously wounded by volunteers on
his sugar estate recently. I have previously
mentioned the subject In n dispatch , but
the particulars were obtained today for the
first tlmo. General Weyler listened pa
tlently to the story Jold by Dclgados , and
then , speaking with much energy , said : I
also have heard the account from Senor Dol-
gido. Consul General Williams directed my
attention to It at a tlmo when ho had no
dales , names or particulars. I wish to say
. to you , and through you to the world , and
to the people of the United States , that the
guilty parties shall bo punished as severely
as the gravity ot the casa demands. But 1
must go through the forms of military pro-
ccduro and have reports to enable mo to
legally fix the responsibility. My order was
sent to all commanders throughout Cuba to
never Ill-treat prisoners or private Individu
als. Whenever "airy ' of - myolflccTs or incn
violate my specific Instructions enough pun
ishment will be Inflicted. Dolgado's tstory
makes put a bad caso.If General TOalquIaj
Is guilty1 of committing the act charged , J
will punish him as If ho were a young lieii-
tenant Instead of a general of brigade , il
certainly can say no moro than this. I re
gret the matter more than I can express.
J wish .you would expreasjny renUments to
the World and thereby 'make' iny intentions
clear. "
i General Wcyler's manner1 did not belle his
speech. He Is sincere in his determination
to permit no atrocities. At the present time ,
when ( he passions of the army ore aroused
ogalnsti Americans , whom the officers regard
as virtually making war on Spain , only a
man of Weyler's firmness Is able ito prevent
occasional violence.
HAD A VISIT FROM MACEO.
, The story which I submitted to General
> r follows : The elder Delgado Is a
* iKm/ respected and educated man , 70 years
old and superior to the great mass 'of ' the
people In the country districts. Ho resided
for a long tliiio In Now York and owns
property near that city. Ho has been an
American citizen over since November 23 ,
1873. Ha has occupied a combined sugar and
cattle estate known aa "Dolores , " sometimes
called Maralcs , located near Bains , a sta
tion on the railway from Havana to Matan-
zas , about forty miles from Havana. Ills
eon , Joseph Manuel Delgado , who Is a grad
uate of medicine from Bellevue college , New
York , resides with him.
On the morning of March 4 , when prepar
ing for breakfast , the Delgados were sur
prised by the sudden advent of Anton'.o
Maceo and his entire band , numbering ,
armed and unarmed , nearly 5,000. Maceo
and his staff rode to the house- and Informed
the elder Delgado that his followers would
breakfast on tha estate and then resume
their march. The men occupied the fields
near by , while Maceo and his staff took vir
tual possession of the house , killed fowls and
had breakfast. As they were finishing break
fast o picket rode In and spoke a few hur
ried words to Maceo. who then ordered the
tmglora to sound , and his men mounted and
oil rndo away. About ton minutes later fir
ing was heard , and Delgado's laborers , five
In number , who were ploughing , hastened
to the house. Several women also ran In.
Soon afterword a small detachment of Span
ish cavalry rode up , and their officers dl- .
reeled the soldiers to turn all the Inmates out J
of the house. The cavalrymen rode their
horses Inside the d.r. . When Delgado and
his son and others came out they were or
dered to follow the cavalrymen ,
MALGUISA SHOWS HIS NATURE.
After proceeding a short distance Delgado
told the commanding officer that ho wan f [
fcoblo and could not walk. They told him -
to return to the houeo with the women.
Ills son , Dr. Delgado and tbo laborers , to
gether with a negro servant and a small
boy , Line Guerra , 12 years of ago , accom
panied the cavalry about half a mile , whet :
General of Brigade MalquUa , at the head of n
n column ot troops , appeared. General Mai- "
qulsa questioned Dr. Dclgado. and the doctor - -
tor told him of Maceo'e movements , and J. :
stated that ho was on American citizen , and '
held out hU papers. Including a certificate of y
Consul General Williams.
General Malqulsa angrily exclaimed : "I
care nothing for your papers. If the United
States consul were here I would give him
half a dozen bullets. "
Then ho slapped Dr. Delado a face and
ordered him Into the custody of on ofllcw
and a guard of thirteen volunteers. General j
Malqulsa then rode away with the troop * .
The guard waited a short time and then
formed In lino. Having previously pluceJ a
Dr. Dolgado and the nix otlierci together , a b
command \\aa given , and the volunteers v
discharged rifles at the little group. Dr. n
Delgado throw himself to the ground jul s
as the command wan given , and was untouched - ,
touched , Tha others were killed or wounded ' 2
including the boy , Line Guerra. A corporal "
or a wrgeant discharged a rifle at Dr. . Del- \
gailo OR he lay on the ground , a bullet pass- i
\\\a \ \ through 9. fleehy rntt ,
Then 'a Volunteer approached and struck ,
him three times on the head ondj jirck with of
a niachete ai > d exclaimed to the other * that
Delg do was dead. The other fallen men of
wore cut IlkowUe with machetes. Their f
work completed , the volunteers and their
r ;
officer inarched , aay. . v
BEFORE THE GOVERNOR.
DROUGHT . p
Dr. Delgado was carried off later by some e
country people , who bad wltneued the trago
cdy from a thicket. They took hm | to a an
hut and notified his father. For three daya u
Dr. Delgado did not dare to go out of the
house. He had no food and no ono ventured
( o go near him. Ho finally succeeded In
sending a letter to Consul General Williams ,
but without giving particulars. The consul
general visited the palace and General Wcy-
ler Informed him that ho would Investigate
the case.
Last night the elder Delgado reached Ha
vana In a feeble condition and half dead from
weakness following hunger and excitement
over his wounded son. The doctor Is now
at his homo and on the Dolores plantation ,
unable to move hand or foot. Ho will bo
brought to Havana as soon AS possible.
This afternoon the elder Delgado made an
official statement to Consul General Williams
under oalli , and the above Is a condensation
of It.
The bullet which wounded Dr. Delgado
struck the thigh bone and went against some
hard substance In the ground. His father
brought It to the consul general's office , to
gether with the blood-stained clothing worn
by his son.
Consul General Williams reached the palace
last evening , Just no General Weyler was
stepping Into his carriage , but Weyler In
sisted on returning to his office and Imme
diately compiled with Williams' request for
an order to bring young Delgado to Havana ,
Delgado's statement will be sent to the
State department at Washington. Delgado
has been besieged by press correspondents.
He returns to Dolores today.

WEYI.KH'S WOHD OOES TO I'UOTUST.
Xat Alile to IleiU-em the PromlNeN He

( CopyrlRht , 1S90 , by Press Publishing Company. )
HAVANA , Cuba , March 15. ( via Key
West , Fla. ) ( New York World Cablegram-
Special Telegram. ) When General Weyler
came to this city five weeks ago as the
new governor-general of Cuba and successor
to General Campos , ho made the following
promises :
First To have nil plantations In Plnar
del Hlo , Havana , Miritnnzas and Santa
Clara provinces grinding cane by March
15.
Second To have the four -western prov
inces , Plnar del nio , Havana , Matnnzas and
Santa Clara , cleared of the principal rebel
bands by March 15.
Third On February 27 he promised the
World correspondent In Havana Investi
gate the maspacre of Ouatno mid to "Inflict
condign punishment on the perpetrator ? . "
General Weylcr has not made good one
of these promises. On the contrary , there
are scarcely any plantations In operation to
day , and according to the official Information
which has been oupplled to the newspaper
correspondents by Lieutenant General
Ochando , General Weyler's chief of staff ,
both Maximo Gcmor. and Antonio Maceo , and
their armies , numbering In the neighbor
hood of 15,000 well drilled native , expert
horsemen , arc still In the four western
provinces. It Is announced that they are
being closely pursued by Spanish columns ,
yet tha Spaniards arc unable to catch either
Gomez or Maceo.
When General Weyler first came to Cube
ho announced that It was his Intention to
save this year's valuable sugar crop , or at
least that portion of It which the rebels had
not already burned. The day after his ar
rival hero a delegation of planters from the
four western provinces called on him , as
was cabled to the World at the time , and
asked him what his Intentions were.
"Gentlemen , " ho said , "It Is my Intention
that you all shall bo grinding cane by the
middle of next month. "
"If Weylcr can make good his promises , "
raid the planters afterward , "he Is a won
der. "
Some time after that the civil governor of
Matanzas Issued a proclamation calling upon
the planters of that province to beg'n grlnd-
Ingt atonce. . .He announced at the same
tlmo that he .had had an .Interview with
General Weyler , .and . that the captain general
was anxious'to have the mills grind. A
; few days later Sebastln Ulacla , who at one
time was the owner of eighteen sugar es
tates on this Island , loft Havana for Tivq-
.Tlvo , his- plantation In Matanzas , about
twc'nty inlles east of this city , and announced
on his arrival -that he would begin grinding.
That-came night he.was seized by a party
of Insurgents and taken before ono of the
leaders. Ulac'a protested that as a loyal
Spaniard that he was simply obeying the
orders of General Weyler to begin grinding.
"Don't you know that General Maximo
Gomez has given strict orders to all planterp
that they must not grind ? " asked the Insur
gent chief.
WHY THEY DO NOT GRIND.
Ulacla paid ho was aware of this fact ;
nevertheless , ho Insisted that he would grind.
Thereupon he was condemned to death , and
the same evening ho was hanged to a tree
In front of the plantation dwelling. There
were some other planters In Havana at the
time , who had decided to begin grinding.
When they learned of Ulacln's fate they
changed their minds , and they have not
begun grinding since.
There ore very few planters grinding on
the Island today , and the principal ones are
those whose plantations are situated near
Clenfugos.
General Weyler also told the planters that
ho would withdraw the troops from .the
plantations and that the planters might or
ganize military or civil guards for the pur
pose of protecting their property , but that
the planters wouid have to defray the ex
penses of maintaining these private troops.
But a majority of the planters are unable
to maintain private guards. One of the
plantations , Constantla , Is employing a pri
vate army of nearly 1,000 men to protect
thn men , who are grinding today.
Up to the present time Ilttlo machinery ,
If any , has bsen destroyed , but. the planters
realize that , should they attempt to grind
tli3 Insurgents would soon burn down their
dwellings , as well as the. remainder of the
cane , end alro destroy the valuable machln- .
cry. Thus It will be seen that the planta
tions In the four western provinces should be
grinding today. As a matter of fact , they
am not.
From the latest reports received from the
Interior It Is certain that General Wey-
ier has also failed to make good his second
promise. The Insurgents under Maximo
Gomez and Antonio Maceo are still In the
four western provinces , and Instead of being
driven east , are coming back Into the very
heart of Havana 'province. There are also
numerous smaller bands of Insurgents , com
manded by leaders of less Importance- the.
cur < western provinces , and they burn townc
ind villages at will. There are somu small
bands within ten miles of this city , and ,
notwithstanding- fact that the Spaniards Is
liave on army of over 120,000 In Cuba , they
are unabio to capture these Insurgents.
Nothing has been heard of late of the Guatoa
massacre. Some say. that General \7oyler
cannot afford to punish the m n who par-
ilclpated In the wholesale butchery at Qua-
. oa , and they oven go so far ) an to predict as
that nothing will over come of the Investiga
tion , and that General Weyler never Intended ot
to "Inflict condign punishment on the per
petrators. "

MADRID , March 1C. ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) There Is au
thority for stating that there Is an Impression
nmong representatives of the Cuba autono
mists In Madrid that a modus vlvcndi might
easily be concerted to pacify Cuba , If Presl-
dent Cleveland , before recognizing the bel
ligerency of the Cubans , should negotiate
direct with Spain , some compromise for car
rying out Immediately In Puerto Rico the
home rule bill voted by the Spanish parlia
ment last year , on the understanding that
the Dame self-government would be estab
lished throughout Cuba as soon as possible ,
with extensive , electoral reforms and reform
of the colonial tariff to pave the way for a
reciprocity treaty with the United States ,
similar , at least , to the Conovas and Poster
convention of 1891. The autonomist senators
and deputies now actually In Madrid protest
Irdlgnantly against the rumors attributing
to the autonomists In Cuba an Intention of
making electoral coalition with their old ad
versaries , the reactionary union constitu
tional reformists. The deputies also state
that their party will take no share in the
general election. They consider on election
Insincere , and even Impossible , In Cuba ,
under pr&ient circumstances.
El Imparclal published an article advocat
ing more active operations In Cuba , becaubo
the present desultory warfare has created
Impatience and discouragement In the mother
country , where everybody , from the govern
ment down , ponslders a prolongation of the
strife In Cuba a most serious element of con
troversy with the United States.
El Liberal , In an equally significant tone ,
as well as El' Heraldo , El Correo and El
Corrospondenca , sharply criticise the Insufr
ficlont results of the Cuban operations and
recommend the expediency of Indulging In
no Illusions on the disposition of the .Ameri
can people , which must be a permanent men
ace to Spanish rule In Cuba.
On the other hand , Premier Canovas yester
day stated that the government Isperfectly
satisfied with General Weylcr and .Is confi
dent of attaining victorious remits before
the advent of the rainy and unhealthy sea

'Constantinople , February 25. Miss Darton
s-iys : '
"Immediately on our arriving here , Judge

at once cabled that Information to Mr. Olney ,
but the permit or papers are to be signed by

LONDON , Mnrch 1C , The Associated press
Is nblo to state In connection with the re
opened Egyptian question that the Britten
government consulted and obtained the ap
proval of a majority of the powers before
deciding upon the advance upon Dongoln.
This makes the new Soudan campaign of far
reaching political Importance In Its bearing
upon Great Britain's relations with the Eu-
ropcan powers.
That the disclosures by recent events of
Great Britain's complete and friendless Isola
tlon In the community of nations has given
a shock and a feeling ot uneasiness to the
responsible statesmanship of Great Britain
has been frankly admitted by British states
men themselves. That England's diplomacy
has been busy with efforts to make some In-
toads Into the universal hostile array ot na
tions has been generally understood. When
the terms of the settlement of the dispute
over the boundaries between the possessions
on the Mekong In Indo-Chlna between Great
Britain and France were made known the
world expressed Its wonder at the substan
tlal concessions made by Great Britain , and
the opinion was generally held that Great
Britain sought to procure an entente with
France as a coni'lderatlon for these con
cessions. Many commentors professed to sio
confirmation of this opinion In the suggestion
offered , by the sultan a little later to Lord
Salisbury that England should regularize
the situation In Egypt. It was suggested
that the sultan'o suggestion was Inspired by
Groit Britain Itself In order to open up a
course for the evacuation of Egypt , thus
removing the principal cause of Irritation be
tween Great Britain and Franco.
WILL OPPOSE FRANCE.
The announcement of the new Soudan
campaign Is clear and convincing evidence
that there Is to bs no approaciiement be
tween Great Britain and France. If further
evidence were needed of this , It was scan In
the prolonged visit on Friday to the foreign
office of Baron de Courcel , the French am
bassador In London , which was cabled exclu
sively to the Associated press on that day ,
and his subsequent departure In person for
Paris to Impart 'the remit of his Interview
to the French cabinet.
Corroboration of France's opposition to the
propcesd Soudan campaign Is found In the
dispatch from Cairo to the Associated press ,
naming as the explicit grounds of her oppo-
oltlon that no movement In the Soudan cx-
Irts warranting such a campaign , and that
the" " Khalifa Abdullah , the tuccessor of the
late ? Mahdl Mohammed Ahmed and military
chief under him. In the former war , lias lost
all his authority , and has withdrawn his
loyal odherente from the Cassala district.
The advance upon .Dongola was decided
.upon by the British governm'ont wlth a view
t6 tie ) fftVorabJejBftect Jtwouiathaveiiup6n the
Italian situation In Abyssth'157 as'was etfitca
by the TlnfesTfKe 'organ- the UrltU'h'cabif
net , In connection with Its announcement of
the Soudan campaign. Almost simultaneously
with this announcement comes the news of
the visit of Count Goluchowskl , the Auotro-
Hungarlan prime minister to Berlin , and the
statement that as a .result , the Dreibund Is
to remain Intact , and tint the German gov
ernment's Irritable attitude toward. Great
Britain as manifested over the Transvaal
episode , has been mollified through the exer
tions of. Count Goluchowekl. The question
of the hour In European politics ls whether
Great Britain has thrown In her fortunco
with the Dreibund , as against France and
Russia. The statement which has been
promised for tomorrow In the HOUKJ of
Commons of the purpose of Hie proposed ad
vance up the Nile by Mr. George N.
Curzon , the parliamentary secretary of the
foreign office , Is looked for with keen Inter
est In the hope that It may disclose Dome-
tiling of the shifting of International relations
now being adjusted In Europe.
HOW GERMANY FEELS.
BERLIN , March 15. The Peters scandal
has done the government more evil than any
thing tbo opposition could have devised.
Colonial ventures have already cost the
government a loss of 30,000,000 marks. The
papers are now ransacking Peters' writings
to discover instances of his boasting of his
own brutalities. One Instance cited Is that
"once his expedition was passing a herd of
cattle , when the herdsman politely re
quested him to go around Instead ot through
the herd. Peters' only answer was with his
revolver , with which he shot the berdmian
lead on the spot. It Is evident , however ,
that the government has resolved to throw
Peters over altogether.
The proposed Soudan expedition of the
British excites a vast deal of attention and
comment In political circles and In the
press hero. The German newspapers In
commenting upon the proposed Egyptian ad-
vanc.9 to Dongola still show an Intense
hatred for England. The National Zeltnng ,
for Instance , scorns the Idea that she will
do anything to help Italy In the straits Into
which that unfortunate power has come In
Africa , and hints that England will acquire
Cassala as a result of the campaign. Most
of the newspapers hero regard the Dongola
movetrfcnt as a clever move on England'o
part to silence clamor on the Egyptian
question and to offer an answer to France ,
and all those who press her for Jhe evacua
tion of Egypt for years to come.
The Vosslscho Zeltung thinks that nobody
Is bettor fitted for the task of the conquest
of the Soudan that England. The Kolulsche
Zcltung. .cpcaklng through the Inspiration
of the foreign office , thinks England has de
layed the proposed expedition too long and
that she will find great difficulty now In
crushing the dervishes.
At an anarchistic meeting at Bcetzow's
brewery today the anarchist editors , Her-
ron Landauer and Spqhr. were arrested.
It Is announced that China will refuse to
cede Lapa or Quemoy to Germany. The
German blmetalllsts have made nn arrange
ment with bimetallisms In England , France
and Austria to Introduce Identical motions
looking to the use of both gold and silver as
currency In their respective parliaments.

Dolnsr for the Knlth.
NEW YORK , March 15. The Salvation
army held a large meeting at headquarters
In Thirteenth street today , the three mem
bers who arrived on the St. Paul Saturday
being present , they were Staff Major Suslo
E. Swift , Captain Elizabeth Clark , private
secretary to Commander Eva Booth , and
Adjutant Caroline Pease. Captain Ebrrllng
and Colonel Eadlo were on the platform with
other well known members. The three
new arrivals arc Americans and have been
abroad for some time. U was said at head
quarters that Colonel Alexander M , Nlcoll
had been called to England on account ol
the death of his child and that was the reason
he sailed so suddenly on the Lucanla Frl
day. It wag said at the time he had gene
In response to a peremptory cable summons
and that General Booth expected to visit
thn United States soon and so wanted n re
port from Colonel Nlcoll as to how affairs
stood hero before ho should start. Even 11
Colonel Nlcoll had not been summoned homo
on account of his child , ho expected to bo
hero but a short tlmo.
The members are anxiously awaiting the
arrival I of Commissioner Booth-Tucker , who
1I has 1 been appointed to the command of the
army In the United State ? . It Is said ho
and his wife , the second daughter of Gen
eral Booth , will sail for Now York on Sat
urday , A grand reception will take place
shortly after their arrival In New York ,
probably March 30 or April 3. Ita \ salil
there Is not liable to be any change In the
methods of administration In tills country.
Immediately on his arrival holvl probably
attempt to. consolidate the forces niid restore
harmony. Staff Major Susie F. Swift la an
cx-Vossor girl.
"Tho men and women In England , " she
said , "aro loyal to the army , and wo are
making great headway. They are surprised
there at our sudden departure for tlicso
shores , and the talk of the trouble over
here hay , greatly astonished them. The Ung
Hsh papers are devoting considerable ; au
to our affairs now. "
Asked for a little sketch of herself , Major
Swift said : "I left Vassar In 18S3. The
following year I went abroad with my father ,
Gsorgo H. Swift , a lawyer of Poughkcepsle.
At that time I was devoted to literary work
and a member of the Protestant Episcopal
church. In Glasgow I heard of the Salva
tlon army doing so much good work , and
saving so many souls , that I attended a
meeting out of curiosity and Intending to
write something about It. I took a great
Interest and wanted to study their ways.
Then I became converted to the army and
believed that by joining the ranks I could
serve God and do good work. Being attracted
by their singing , music and by the experi
ences related by those who chanced to wan
der Into the meeting , I finally joined. For
some time I was In London. Later I edited
the International journal of the army , trav
eled on the continent In Its Interest and
paid visits after that to the United States
and Canada. Some time ago I was sent to
North Africa to see what possibility there
was of working there , but did not meet the
best of success In that country.
"Then I opened the newsboys' shelter In
London , afterward being In charge of the
Auxiliary league. My s'ster ' Joined the army
five weeks after me. She Is now stationed
In Worcester , Mass. My mother and father
are heartily In sympathy with the work , al
though not members themselves. How long
shall I remain here ? I really cannot say ,
but on leaving the other side was told to pre
pare for a six wekes' absence at least. I
may remain much longer. "
Francis 7 Clark , 'president ot the United
Spclety.jjf Christian Endeavor-of Boston , to
ady' Jolned the Auxiliary "Teague.
ST. LOUIS , March IB. A revolthas , taken
place in the ranks of the Salvation army
In St. Louis. Tonight twenty-five recruits
from the various stations In this city , under
the leadership of Cadet Vincent , paraded the
streets' and held open exercises similar to
those of the Salvation army. The mc'mbero
of tbo band each wore a red ribbon , over
which was pinned a picture of Mrs. Balling-
ton Booth and had the words : "God bless
our leader" Inscribed upon It. At their head
they carried a United States flag and a
banner bearing the likenesses of George
Washington and Martha Washington. Cadet
Vincent , when .asked for a contribution ,
stated that not a cent would bo sent out of
th'a ' country. In a talk with a representa
tive of the press1 , he- said that as soon as
Balllngton Booth signified his Intentions ,
they would organize under Ills directions.
They expect to be able to raise funds soon
and hire a ball for use as headquarters and
In which to hold public meetings. It was no
ticed that there was not an afficcr of the
Salvation army among them , all bslng cadets.
They express the opinion that the movement
here will grow and stated emphatically that
their work would not be In opposition to the
Salvation army , but along the ramo lino. '
I'ATIUCIC II. KI31.LI3Y ASSIGNS.

ImiteH a 1'eiMilInr Plan.
ST. PAUL , March 15. Patrick H. Kcly ! ,
well known democratic politician and leading
merchant , has filed an assignment for the
benefit of his creditors to John E. Meag'ner
of Mankato , Minn. , who will qualify In a
bond for the amount of ? 300,000 , which gives
some Idea of the size of the failure. As no
schedules have yet been prepared , and no
figures are given out , this Is the only means
of knowing the size of the failure.
Tha assignment Is a peculiar one , ac
cording to the story of Mr. Kelley's attorney ,
which Is that , there Is no need for nny fail
ure , as far as financial difficulties are con
cerned , but that tlis aslsgnmcnt has been
made In order to close up the estate the
more easily In cafe Mr. Kelley tfhould not re
cover from the esvere attack of pneumonia ,
with wtilch ho has been confined to his rooms
at the Merchant's hotel for some days. The
papers were filed Saturday afternoon , but
the fact did not Income- public until today.
Mr. Kelley's et-tute Is estimated as being
worth between $100,000 and $300,000 , but no
exact statement can yet be given. Hit at
torney soys the assets exceed the llabllltleo.
It Is further stated tonight that the J > , H ,
Kelley Mercantile eomp.iny will tomorrow as
sign to W. B. Jordan of Miles City , for the
same reasons tlmt caured the assignment of
Mr. Kelley. The Mercantile company In
rated at $500,000 , .nnd Its credit Is of the high
est. The business will go on at usual , and
will In no way be Interferred with by the
assignment. Patrick H. Kelley Is one of the
most prominent men In the northwest , where
lip has held front rank nmong merchants and
politicians many years. Ills wholesale gro
cery In this city Is one of the bo t known
concerns In the country , In politics Mr ,
Kelley has always ben a democrat , and

FRANKFORT , Ky. , March 15. Governor
Bradley has ordered out all three of the
regiments of the Kentucky state guards.
The McCreary Guards were ordered out at
9:45 : o'clock tonight and took possession of
the state house. The First regiment of
Louisville will arrive hero on a special train
at 2 a. m. The state capital will bo very
strongly guaided when the legislature meets
tomorrow.
CINCINNATI , Mnrch 15. The CommcrcuU-
Gazetto'a 12:40 : a. m. special from Frank
fort , Ky. , says : The riot bell rang from
the flro engine house at 11 o'clock tonight ,
and at the same moment Governor Bradley
ordered out the militia. Ten minutes later
the McCreary guards , fifty-two strong , Cap
tain Noel Guinea , were In possession of the
state hourc , and martial law was proclaimed.
Until today , Governor Bradley had per
sistently refused to call out the mtUtla ,
though urged to do so by citizens Irre
spective of party. The Blackburn leaders ,
he was Informed , had been preparing to take
forcible possession of the state house tomor
row. Threats were made that the senate
would arrest the governor tomorrow for
usurpation of authority in giving the In
structions ho gave last night to the sheriff
of Franklin county to clear the corridors
and clcak rooms.
All trains today brought In reinforcements ,
for the men bent on mischief tomorrow.
It was only at the last moment when the
presence of these crowds presaged errlouB
danger that the governor yielded to repeated
requests of orderly citizens pt both parties
and called out the mllltln.
DEMOCRATIC DEPUTIES SWORN IN.
The sergeant-at-arms , Mr. Somers , hod
sworn In Jack Clilnn , Jim Williams , Eph
Llllard and other desperate men as tils depu
ties. It was also reported to the governor
by numerous affidavits that armed men had
been collecting in the capltol for two or
three days , with a view to taking charge of
the joint assembly on Monday.
A company from Lexington and the Loule-
vlllo legion , 300 strong , will arrive early in
the morning. General Collier Is In command.
Guards surround the statehouse and permit
no one but state officers , senators , representa
tives and others having a constitutional
right to pass.
Senator Bronston came Into the governor's
office and aoked why ho was debarred from
the state Jiouse , who was the peace officer
of the state , and why the militia had been
ordered out. Ho thtn told the governor ho
could PO affidavits that would bo filed In the
senate tomorrow.
This evidently referred to an effort to Im
peach Governor Bradley by the senate , which
lias been threatened all day.
The excitement In the city Is great , and the
streets are full of people. No little appro-
pension Is felt. Rumor says that COO armed
soldiers will be here In the morning , and It
a hoped that they will be able to preserve
peace. '
PROSPECTS GROW-SERIOUS. ,
LOUISVILLE , Ky. , Maxell 15. A Courier-
Journal special from Frankfort , Ky. , says :
Military surveillance was established at 10
o'clock tonight. The court house bell gave
the alarm at 9:30 : o'clock and In twenty
minutes company B of the Second Kentucky
regiment , under Captain Noel Galneo , wa
under marching orders and went ut double
quick to the elate house. A squad from the
McCreary guards was gent to the state ar
senal with orders to have ammunition ready
for the troops on arrival. There will bo 400
soldiers patrollng the state house square at
daybreak. Already the calls of the pickets
can bo heard above the noise- and confusion ,
of the crowd. The ringing ot the military
call caused the most Intense excitement and.
n fifteen minutes hundreds of men and
women were In the streets. There Is no ap
parent prospect for an outbreak tonight , but
he outlook for tomorrow Is ominous.
