with a large column , was defeated by Rebel
Leader Torres , near the wharf of Banes
( Holguln ) , whcro there Is a fort. The rebels

When asked about the whereabouts ot
Antonio Macco , General Macco replied he
was eouthwest of the railway line and that
ho always avoided an engagement with the
Spanish troops , even when ho occupied an
advantageous position. In closing the inter

LONDON , Nov. 23. A dispatch from Al
lahabad , India , to the Times on the breakIng -
Ing of the drouth , says : "Tho storm had
caused a rainfall right through eastern
Rajputana , which has reached the western
parts of the northwest provinces. On
Friday a good rain had fallen at Moemt
and a fair rain at Agra. This will bo cf
the highest value , as Agra was suffering
Beverly from drouth. There are signs .that
the rain will extend farther. Hero the clout's
have bc n banked for the last few dayo ,
but only a few drops have fallen , though
there wcro showers on Saturday night
farther north.
"The following Is an accurate view of the
position cf the Northwest Provinces and
Oudh. The first area where there Is the
greatest failure of crops has 25,000 square
miles with a population of 13,000,000. Here
the famine may be acute. The second area
where there Is a severe failure covers 30,000
square miles and the population Is
14,000,000. The third area , where
there Is considerable failure , has
2fiOQO square miles and has a popu
lation of 12,000.000. The divisions which are
worst off are Allahabad , Lucknow and Falza-
bad , with the portion ot Agra not protected
by irrigation. The balance of the provlncca
arc those protected by canals , which do not
depend so much on the rice crop. Here
there has been little failure , though the
dcarness will prcss'hcavlly upon the poorest
classes of the Khallf. The crcps
In the Mccrut division are excel
lent and are probably the best
on record. As for the prospects , an Inch and
a half ot rain within the next fortnight
would reduce the difficulties by one-halt to
three-fourths. Favorable rains at the end
ot the year would relieve from 4 to 8 per
cent of the population. The government Is
preparing for the worst. Should the drouth
continue until Juno prices would rule enor
mously high , but the lieutenant governor
decs not apprehend a complete failure ot
supplies next summer , as local stocks wll :
bo supplemented by imports. A significant
Indication of the famine condition Is that In
certain areas prices for flne and coarse
grains are closely approximating. So far
the relict organization Is equal to all de
mauds. "

SIONTREAL , Nov. 22. The terms of set
tlement ot the Manitoba school question , as
agreed upon by the Dominion nnd Manitoba
governments , are far from giving satisfac
tion to the Roman Catholics ot Quebec.
Archbishop Langcvln of Manitoba has
sounded the keynote of discord , In an Inter
view , published hero , nnd the French pa
pers of this province have taken It up.
ArchbUhop Langevtn Is reported as saying :
"Certainly the settlement Is not satisfactory ,
and what Is more , It will bo far from satis
factory In Quebec. " Ho laid especial
stress upon Quebec.
At this juncture the archbishop paused a
moment and shook his head. Continuing , he
said : "How wo have been soldi How
Quebec has been betrayed ! Too bad ; too
bad ! But I tell you there will be a revo
lution In Quebec which will ring through
Canada , and these men who are today
triumphant will bo cast down. The fight
has only begun. "
La Verltc says : "Tho duty of this mo
mcnt appears to us to bo very clear. We
must support our brothers with all our
strength , for If we allow the Catholics of
the little province of the west to be crushed ,
wo shall have our turn later on. "
Le Moudeu , commenting on the terms of
the scttlerrcnt , says ? "If ever a people * had

Notable Prisoners ,
MRS , MAYBRICK IS GOING INSANE
OKcnr Wilde Appear * Aged niul
llrnUeti In Henltli Neither Could
Survive Another Ycnr of
, 1'rlMoii Life.
( CopjTlRht , ISM , by the Associated Press. )
LONDON , Nov. 22. From a high ofllclal
connected with her majesty's prison at
Wormwood Scrubbs , the Associated press Is
furnished the following account of the pris
oners , Mrs. Maybrlck and Oscar Wilde :
"Dy any ono who know Mrs. Maybrlck as
I did before her Incarceration , she would
not now bo recognized. She Is a complete
mental and physical wreck. I wish to eay
right here , that this condition Is not due to
prison treatment , but Is the direct result of
confinement and mental worry. AVhlle she
Is not Insane , her condition borders closely
upon It. She has not been at Wormwood
Scrubba for many months , but Is now In the
smaller prison at Aylcsbury , in Bucking
hamshire. It Is found that prisoners In her
mental state require as much change ns Is
consistent with prison regulations , and for
this reason fiho has been an Inmate of so
many prisons. While at Wormwood Scrubt-s
she waa In the hospital for nine months In
the year , and her health has demanded llko
treatment at Aylcsbury. She has grown
thin and her check bones protrude In a
manner moat unpleasant to see. Her com-
plcxlan Is ghastly , and her eyes have a
haunted 'look. She has all the cunning of
an Insane person. This Is shown by the
fact she has twice endeavored to commit
suicide , once nearly successfully , despite the
strict and searching watch to which she
la constantly subjected. One of these at-
tctnpta was evidently made In an endeavor
to convince the doctors that eho was suffer
ing from Internal hemorrhage , and went too
far. She subsequently made the same at
tempt and very nearly succeeded. The other
attempt was by means of strangulation.
Slnco these attempts. the watch to which
she has been subjected , precludes another
such repetition.
"In talking with her shs once said to me ,
'I deserve all I have got. ' This was signifi
cant , but her mental condition at the time
was such that I did nut attach much Im
portance to her remarks. However , that
may be , she was not , In my opinion , ever
proven guilty. I am firmly of the opinion
that she will not survive another year of
prison life. She has now been In confine
ment since July , 1SS9. Ordinarily imprison
ment for life means twenty years , there be
ing few Instances where prisoners have
beca confined on a life sentence after that
period , unless some new nnd pointed facts
In relation to tlidr guilt have come to light
In the Interim. I also think the efforts 'to se
cure her release -that have come from Amer
ica and elsewhere and which have been
in the nature of coercing the home office ,
have operated against her , and I also believe
she will be set at liberty within a year. "
The official wts aluo asked regardlnB
Oscar AVIldc , and ho said : "Wlldo was also
removed from the Scrubba a short time ago.
Ho Is now at Reading. His health Is also
wretched , and ho seems aged and broken.
Ho has spent much time In tbo hospital , and ,
like Mrs. Maybrlck , has been frequently
transferred , and for 'tho same reason. Whllo
at Wormwood Scrubbs ho was a model pris
oner , so far as complying -with the regula
tions was concerned , but his work was done
In a perfunctory manner. I must decline
to say at what labor ho was employed.
Llko Mrs. Maybrlck. I do not think ho would
survive another year of prison life , but for
tunately for him. his sentence expires the
last of March. Personally , I do not believe
any petitions for bis release will be
granted. "

there was no political significance In the

Colonel Grant eald this evening there
was nothing political In his visit. Ho felt
ho ought to goto Canton to see his old
friend Major McKinley , and was going.
"How about the 'gossip connecting your
name with a cabinet position ? " he was
asked.
"I have seen It elated In several news
papers that I ana to be eecrc'tary of war In
McKlnley's cabinet , but those- publications
emanate from those , I am sure , who are not
In touch with the president-elect. I 'would
bo happy to ccpept euch a position In the
cabinet , but I have hot been asked to do
eo , and I do not believe I shall. That Is
all there IB to it. "
"Did you discuss politics with Mr.
Hanna ? '
"The only reference .polities was a re
mark by me to. the effect 'tnat Mr. Hanna
had been slated for lhd position of secre

get it. To that Mr. Hanna replied ho did
not dcslro a position In tile-cabinet. "

POINT ARENA , Cal. , Nov. 22. The
steamer San llcnlto , bound from Tacoma to
San Francisco , went cshorc seven miles
north ot Point Arena this morning. The
steamer struck on a sandbar and broke It
two. The San Bcnito carried forty men and
during a severe storm last night must have
leal her bearings. The wind blew tcrriflcalb
and a heavy sea was running. The vessel
struck about 1 o'clock In the morning and
broke Just aft the smokestack. Boatu were
lowered , but one capsized Immediately , and
the four men In It were drowned. Another
boat with a number of the crew capsized
nine times. Three men , by heroic means
reached shore. Daylight found the rest of
the crew clinging to the rigging. Such a
heavy sea was running that It was impossi
ble to render assistance. The drowned are
JOHN SHERMAN , messenger boy.
W. 13. CONNON , married , second assistant
engineer.
O. W. SCOTT , married , first assistant en
gineer.
MICHAEL PENDERGAST , coal passer.
TWO OTHERS , not known.
The steamer Point Arena reached the
scene at 11 o'clock this morning and sen
out a bolt and by great bravery and skilled
Bcamat.shlp rescued seven men. In makliif
a second trip , the boat was almost swampei
nnd was compelled to abandon all efforts on
account of the great breakers washing over
the wreck.
A sailor was washed overboard and reached
shore almost dead. Ho was revived by a
doctor on the beach.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon a sailor Jumpec
overboard and attempted to swim ashore
with a line. The shoulder straps of his life
preserver broke and the man went down.
Lighthouse Keeper Brown , an Indian
named Lazarus , William Coniprcy and A
Cunningham manned a boat and made two
heroic efforts to connect the wreck will
the shore with a line , but wcro unsuccess
ful. The steamers Point Arena and Alcazar
are off the wreck , but can render no assist
ance until the sea calms.
A passing steamer landed a gun at I'oln
Arena this afternoon -nnjL-tlic line will be
shot to the wreckas soon as possible.
Both parts of Jtho ship are fast In the sand
fifty feet apart. The sailors claim the ac
cident was on account of the foghorn noi
blowing , but the light was clear and could
bo seen many miles.

DETROIT , Mich. , Nov. 22. A special to
the Tribune from Bay City , Mich. , says-
The two factions which have been dividing
the St. Stanislaus Polish Catholic congre
gation for the past six months came to
gether today In a pitched battle , In which
clubs and missiles were used and nearly
a score of people injured. The church was
crowded at the 8 o'clock , when the trouble
began. Father Bogackl , successor of Father
Matkowskl , the former priest whose actions
had divided the church and led to hostili
ties , scored the antl-Matkowskl fac
tion for purchasing a cemetery of their
own , saying they would be cut. off from all
the offices of the church. After the service ,
when Father Bogackl started for his house ,
ha was forced back Into the church by the
crowd. A squad of police tried to rush the
priest from the church to the parsonage.
A battled ensued and many heads were
broken bythe officers' clubs. The priest
was pushed back and finally toward night
was escorted away from tbo premises. This
evening , accepting Mayor Wright's counsel ,
the crowd dispersed.

BIRMINGHAM , Ala. , Nov. 22. A party of
a dozen young people , who left Enslcy City
early last night , In a wagon , for a hay rtdc ,
had tholr merriment transferred Into death
and disaster before they had proceeded n
mlle on their Journey. Ten days ago a new
bridge was completed across Village creek ,
near Ensley City. While crossing the
stream , the structure gave way , precipi
tating the wagon and Its load of human
freight fifteen feet below Into the water.
Not n person In the vehicle escaped unin
jured.
WILLIAM SHANNON , nRod 20 , was hurt
abaut the head , which caused concussion ol

Miss Annlo Williams , face badly cut.
At Its Nellie Blackburn , bruised.
Eph Bowie , colored driver , back sprained.
The cause of the accident was that the
stringers of the brldgo wcro too short , am ]
by constant Jarring , they gradually worked
off the sills. The Jar of the wagon last
night caused them to fall , letting the entire
span down. The water In the creek was six
feet deep , and but for the timely work of
those leost Injured , sevcrall would have
drowned. The coroner will begin an Investi

HAMILTON. Mo. , Nov. 22. Five children
of Mr. and Mrs. Snider Ncal , living five
miles north of this city , were burned to
death late last night. The Ncal dwelling
was burned whllo the parents were attend
ing a dance. They had eight children. The
oldest , a boy of 15 yearn , and a baby , accom
panied the parents to a social party. About
11 o'clock the gathering broke up. Soon
after starting homo the Neala and those ac
companying them , discovered the Neal resi
dence was on fire. When they reached the
burning building , the father saw hU 11-year-
old girl , lying burning In the front door ,
clasping her 3-year-old brother In her arms.
The flames prevented the rescue. The chil
dren wore then dead. The father fell In a
swoon , and has been raving maniac ever
since. Nora , 9 years old , Is the only eur-
vlvor. Sheeays the children at home , Callle ,
13 ; Willie , 7 ; Clarence , 5 ; Julia , 3 , and her
self , retired at the usual hour In an up
stairs chamber. The next she knew the fire
was coming up through the floor , and the
building was enveloped In flamca. She
says all six wore aroused. She rushed to a
fiecond-etory window and Jumped to the
ground , calling to the othenj to follow , as
the flro had cut off escape by the stairway.
It Is thought the fire was caused by an In
cendiary.

SEATTLE , Wash. . Nov. 22. Probably the
town In Skaglt county to suffer most by the
flood of the Skaglt river was Hamilton. The
town Js a. complete wreck and looks like de
struction. The'big brick store building of
Barker & Fontaine , is a heap of rulna and
the goods arc burled under the fall of the
walls. Everything Is in a horrible shape.
The streets are washed out. sidewalks gone
and the town. Is filled with trees , stumps
and rubbish. Every one is discouraged and
heartbroken and the scene beggars descrip
tion. No lives were lost , although there
were several close calls. The water was In
every house In the lower part of the town
and some of the people were prisoners up
stairs. The track of the Seattle & Northern
railway between Woolcy and Hamilton has
been almcst completely destroyed and It will
probably bo two weeks before the road Is
in good working condition again. The loss
to uprlvcr ranches will be heavy , as consid

"Nothing has been said or done about Arch

votes by It , the republicans ought to do
something for him. As an ecclesiastic Archbishop -

The manner In which Gay Hutsonpiller met.
a violent death In room 49 , at the Windsor
hotel , on South Tenth street , lest Tuca-
day afternoon , la now no longer a mystery ,
Cvcry detail of the crime has been given by
Charles H. Elliott , who has been confined
In the county Jail for the last two days , un
der suspicion of being the guilty man.
Yesterday afternoon ho made a full con
fession , comprising about twenty sheets of
typewritten matter. The conferalon will , ns
eoon as transcribed , bo given to County At *
torney llaldrlge. and will be used by the
state In prosecuting Elliott on the charge.-
of murder In the first degree.
Whllo Elliott has preserved a rcmarkablo
ncrvo ever slnco committing the crime , a
ncrvo which did not drscrt him when placed
under arrest at Cedar Itaplds nor since be
ing confined In the Jail in this city , ho yes
terday gave up nil attempt at subterfuge and
made a clean breast of It. Ho told of the
crlmo In all Us details , and appeared like a
man who was glad to unburden his eoul of
a weight which must have hung heavily
upon It. The confession was not wholly un
expected upon the part of Sheriff McDonald
and the attaches of the Jail. The proofs ot
the murder , which are in the hands of the
pallce , were so conclusive in their nature ) ,
that even Klllott must have surmised that
his only chance lay In asking the clemency
of the court.
Late Saturday night ho showed the first
signs of weakening , and , although he said
nothing to the Jullcr and appeared outwardly
cool and collected , he paced his cell moro-
tlian usual and did not sleep soundly ovca.
when ho had retired for the night.
STRAIN TOO GREAT.
Sunday morning' hla conduct was a ropc
tltlon of the evening- before , except that h '
took occasional naps en his cot , and re
quested the keeper not to disturb him. The
strain upon Elliott's nervce was considerably"
enhanced by the fact that orders had been
given by Sheriff McDonald that be should bo
allowed no newspapers , or other reading
material. The mental 'torture ' under which
Klllott labored was more noticeable to the
Jailers , as the boura sped by. Whllo ho
said nothing that would lead them to suspect
that ho intended a confession , his sunken
eyes and other physical evidences of the >
strain ho was laboring under , belled the
bold front which ho maintained.
Shortly after dinner he told Jailer Shand
that ho would like to have atalk with the
sheriff. Blllott had shown a preference for
talking \vlth Sheriff McDonald from tho-
time he first met him and little was thought
of his request to again converse with him.
The sheriff and Court Stenographer H. B.
Doylrs went into the "solitary , " where El
liott Is confined , about Z o'clock. Elliott
at once raised up eft his cot whcro ho had
been reclining and said :
"I want to tell you how the whole thins
happened and everything about It. " With
out any further preamble ho then went Into
the recital of the affair with perfect coolness
and talked more like n man who had been
merely an eye witness to the murder than It
perpetrator. "Hutsonplller and I went to
South Omaha last Tuesday morning to get
passes to Ullllngs. Wo could not get them.
Hutsonplllcr then said he was going to Ulll
lngs anyway. I owed him $15 and I wanted
him to sign a receipt for It. ThU was after
wo returned to Omaha and had gone to our
room In the hotel. I told him I would not
pay It unless he did sign It.
DID NOT KNOW HE WAS DEAD ,
"I was scaled on the bed and he occupied
a chair near the window. Ho called me a
vllu name and suld ho would take it out ot
my hide. At that time 1 was sittingdown. ' .
Ho started to raise up. My valise was lying
on the foot of the bed , The coupling pin ,
was lying by the side of It. I reached
around and picking up the coupling-pin
struck him over the head with It. "
Sheriff McDonald He was sitting on flio
bed ?
Elliott Ho was sitting on a chair. H *
picked up the receipt and read It and threw.
It down and said he would not sign It. I
Jplil him I would not pay him unless he did.
Then ho called me a hard name. After I
struck him I don't know really what did
happen till I left the room and went down
stairs.
"I did not know that I had killed him
then. I did not believe It when I was ar
rested. I thought they wcro trying -lo get
out of mo what they could. They would
not tell me at that time what It was for.
A reporter in Cedar Itaplds told me I was
arrested for striking a man with a coupling ,
pin. They did net tell mo he was dead. I
didn't think ho was then.
"I went down stairs and bought some
choloroform then , and returning to the room
put It on a towel and placed it over hla
lace. That was about half an hour after
I first struck him. I went to Oladlah'a
drug store , Twelfth and Dodge streets , and
paid 15 cents for the stuff. He wan
lircathlng kind of loud and I wan afraid
that people In the hotel would hear him.
Any one panning through the hall might
tiavo done eo.
"I then left the room and walked around
thu town until I took the train , I left
on the l4fi ; Northwestern for the cast. I
liought iny ticket up town from a broker
on Fnrnam street KomowNro. " ( A. Fore
