IN , Oct. 11. The first general na
tional convention of the Irish Independent
league , organized by John Redmond , M. I1. ,
the I'arnclllto leader , opened this afternoon
In the ancient concert rooms here. Klght
hundred enthusiastic delegates packed the
hal ! and actively participated In cheering
vociferously every point In the speeches
which met with their approval , and In JeerIng -
Ing the namcH of Dillon , Hcnly and Davltt ,
ns well ns biasing the nanio of Mr. Glad
stone 'when Mr. Redmond characterized him
< IB "the Englishman who betrayed Ireland. "
Every reference to the etrugglu of 1793 was
greeted uproariously , particularly Mr. Red
mond's reading of the call of the revolu
tionists. All the speeches paid tribute to
the late Charles Stewart Parncll and warm
cheers greeted the entrance of the Red
mends , John Panicll and Patrick O'ltrlen to
the hall.
The climax of the convention was reached
when , during a speech delivered by William
Redmond , ho said that when the Dlllonltcs
rejected I'arnell they "Alienated the United
States , thus killing the geese which laid the
golden egg. * ' Continuing , Mr. Rrdmond said
Iio would never walk Into any room to bo
controlled by Dillon and Ilealy , though he
was for unity , adding : "With all the royal
processions through our streets , It Is time for
Irishmen to say something. The great mass
of the Irish people are today and will be
until liberty Is given them the enemies of
England. Hngl.ind Is u bully , a pirate nnd a
uavago. Whether In India or Africa , the
bloody flag of the Drltlsli la advanced by
plundering and destroying poor people. Oir
sympathy goes out to these poor people.
OtU bless { horn and glvo success to their
efforts. Three cheers for the men In India
iwho ore fighting for their land. "
The delegates got upon their seats and
shouted , "Down with Britain ! "
DENUNCIATION OF ENGLAND.
The meeting up to that point had been of
a somewhat mild description , but much de
nunciation of England and talk ot 1TOS fol
lowed , Mr. Kelly of Manchester , for Instance ,
caylng that I eland would have Its Jubilee In
1838 , "O 'er the attempt of honest men to do
honest work for Ireland. " There was also
denunciation of Great Ilrltaln's proposal to
glvo Ireland a Catholic university. The pav-
tlclcatlon of thn priests In volltkr ; was con
demned and the Healyltes were denounced us
"Tho assassins of Parnell. "
There was , however , no discord whatever.
The resolutions wcio all adopted with en
thusiasm aiid the reading of a telegram from
tbs Irish ! : - ' i enirrii league of New York
waa heartily cheered.
Every possible effort was made to organize
a thoroughly representative convention. In
vitations were Issued to all corporations ,
town commissioners , poor law guardians ,
foresters , members of the Gaelic athlotlr
clubs , literary societies , amnesty associations ,
national banks , tradci and trades councils ,
registration associations , young Ireland asso
ciations and national and worklngmcn's
clubs. Thn stewards of the Parnell anni
versary demonstration acted In a similar ca
pacity at the convention. Among the mem
bers of ths executive committee on the plat
form was Louis Stuyvesant Chanler of New
York.
MBSSAGE PROM HOSTON.
Alderman John Rcllly read n telegram from
the Independent Irishmen of Iloston , Mass. ,
which said : "We stand by Parnoll's policy
nnd , urge the government to disgorge Its
plunder In the fact ) of thn distress existing
nnd wo send (101) aa evidence of our good
faith. " The reading of this message was fol
lowed by three ( cheers for the stars nnd
etrlpcs.
Mr , Redmond , In a long speech , denounced
the liberals for abandoning homo rule and
declared that the only hope of Ireland was
In Independent action , without any alliance
with the English parties , explaining that
the Dlllonltes wanted an "emasculated sys
tem of federation , a nort of glorified vestry
Instead of a free parliament. " Continuing.
Mr. Redmond said there could bo no recon
ciliation with the Dlllonltcs unless the latter
nnd their liberal allies reinstated home rule
ns the first plank In their patform , and
promised to appeal , to thn country's house of
lords defeated homo rulo.
RESOLUTIONS. '
Rojolntlona were adopted rcafllrmlng that
the Irish question can only bo settled by the
concession ) ! of national self-government , and
culling upon all members of Parliament who ,
"for thu last tow years have pursued a mis
taken policy , " to "rejoin the Independent
party , unlto upon the principles of Churles
Stewart Parnell and demand the release of
political prisoners as an act of simple Jus
tice and humanity. "
Resolutions were also adopted urging the
Irish nvcrywhero to commemorate the cen
tenary of 179S , denouncing the government
( or repudiating the report ot the royal com
mission ot the financial relatlona between
Great DrlUIn and Ireland , expressing regret
at thu necessity of raising a Parncll family
fund uml calling upon IrUhmt'ii generally to
respond to the appeal and "thereby remove
from Ireland the atlgroa ot Ingratitude for
the priceless services and devotion" of the
lain ClurleB .Stowart Parncll , and culling
upon .Mesaia , Dillon , Davltt and Harrington
< o piy out of thu portion ot the Paris fund
allotted for that purpose the 6,000 (125,000) ( )
duo to the I'arnell citato.
Mr. Chandler , who was called on to ad
dress the meeting , made a ringing speech ,
averting thit the Irish , would never achieve
home rule until they weru united , and ex-
presilng the opinion that they had not al
lied tfaeineelvis with the torlea or the lib-
eraU , "bi'causu both the English government
1 cud EnglUhwen never .do a generous act
unless forced to do It by fear. "
The proceedings ( it lU WHycntlou jvcro
finished this evening and the predictions
made -f a revolt against the leadership ot
John Redmond proved entirely unfounded.
The delegates cheered him cnthustaatlcally
and on adjournment they warmly praised his
speech , pronouncing It to be a most able
outline of the policy ot tlio Irish Independent
league.

Six I'olleenieii Injured uml ( Hie of the
Itluterx Killed.
ROME , Oct. 11. A large procession of
tradesmen , hciideJ by the Pro-Syndic of
Homo nnd the president of the Chamber of
Commerce , marched to the otflcc of the min
ister of the Interior this morning to protest
and confer with the government regarding
the Increased Hxatlon. Premier Rudtnl , who
Is atflo minister of the Interior , received a
committee representing the tradesmen and
promised that all possible would be done tu
promote friendly relations and greater equity
between the tux collectors and taxpayers.
In tlio meanwhile a large crowd of people
had collected around , angry shouts were
heard and some of those present tore up pav
ing stones and olhorwlfc assumed a threat
ening attitude. This caused the police to
mnko an attempt to disperse the crowd , and
In the conflict which followed six policemen
were Injured tnd one rioter was killed. The
mob raised revolutionary cries while the
fighting was In progress. Revolvers were
freely used. Many persons In the crowd were
Injured and twenty of the leaders of the
disturbance were arrested. The condition of
three of the wounded policemen la serious.
The streets have been quiet this evening.
A special dstall of police Is patrolling the
district that was the scene of the disturb
ance. In all there have been twenty-four ar-
rtsts. The rioter who was killed has not
been Identified , but appears to havs been a
workman. The prefect of police has ordered
the dissolution of the Roman Socialist union.
Tomorrow the prosyndlc of Rome nnd the
president of the Chamber of Commerce , who
headed the procssslon , will be received by the
Marquis do Rudlnl. who will discuss the ap
plication of the Income tax.
It Is estimated that there were at least
20.000 people In the procession that escorted
the deputation to the olllces of the minister
of the Interior. The authorities. It was evi
dent , had failed to make adequate provision
for maintaining order In such a vast and
crowded assembly.
The people were Irritated nt being ex
cluded from the building by the cirblneers
and presently a second detachment Issued
with fixed bayonets nnd tried to clear the
piazza. The crowd then resisted , the stone-
throwing began nnd the conflict speedily be
came general , until an Infantry detachment
appeared on the scene and by repented
chaigco drove the crowd Into the adjoining
streets , the mob still showering stones. Some
of the soldiers became Infuriated and flrod
In the direction of the crowd and the streets
were only cleared after a severe struggle , a
second resort to firearms becoming neces
sary to d'slodgo ' a particularly determined
group. It Is believed that nearly forty were
inoro or less seriously Injured. Hints ore
thrown out In some quarters that the dls-
ordcra were fomented by ngents.
Placards were posted on the walls through
out the city .this morning Inviting all trades
men to close their shops in the afternoon
from 2 o'clock to 4 o'clock In order to lend
Imposing character to the demonstration. The
suggestion was almost universally adopted
and the result was n spectacle unprecedented
since the death of Victor Emanuel , except
that each door closed instead of the legend
"Closed for national mourning , " the Inscrip
tion. "Closed for fiscal reasons. "
The grievance is that this year the as
sessments of Incomes by the government
agents for Income tax have been doubled
and trebled throughout the country. At a
mreiins nciil > eslen3ay It was ( leclJcd to
make today's demon tration. It Is said thai
many anarchists , socialists and professional
Holers mingled with the crowd and started
cries "Down with taxes" and "Down with
the ministry , " and greeted the soldiers with
the cry , "We are all brothers. Down the
taxes. "

MANAGUA , Nicaragua , Sept. 26. The revolution

weak effort thus far by some of the ablest
men In Nicaragua. They had no arms anil
the people who were dlspobcd generally to
rally to the leaders learning this soon hid
away ta thn woods. President Zelaya Is tak
ing strong measures to suppress forever the
spirit of opposition to his rule. Ho Is bring.
Ing suspected persons In large numbers In
clioliiH from their houses to the penitentiary
at Managua without trial , and is Imposing
very heavy fines on them and on the absent

The danger today of war Is In the fact thai
Zelaju has Imprisoned and treated with
much Indignity Scnor Llcclic , consul at
Managua for Coats Rica , a warm personal
frlenii of Piosldcnt Inglaslas of Costa Rica.
The Indications are that Nicaragua desires
war , anil may provoke war with Costa Rica ,
and that the latter Is now about as auxlouu
to light Nicaragua as It has heretofore been
to prevent a war between those states.
Nicaragua and Salvador are seriously dis
cussing the propriety of withdrawing from

WASHINGTON , Oct. 11. Consul General
Kltzhugh Ice arrived here last night and
was at the State department early thla morn
ing In conference with Assistant Secretary
Day , leaving later for Warrenton , Va. , to
attend the funeral ot a friend. He will re
turn tonight to advise further with officials
hero as to the Cuban situation. It Is under
stood that the State department Is going
over with General Lee and Mr. Hannls Tay
lor , cx-mlnlstcr to Spain , the effect of the
recent cabinet changes , the result of Gen
eral Wcyler's withdrawal and his succession
by General Illanco , and other new phases
developed by the accession of Sagasta. The
escape of Miss Clsncros from a Spanish
prison through the efforts of a representative
of a New York paper has been talked over ,
also the prevailing view being that It will
not lead to an International complication.
General Weyler said today ho aid no4 think
any serious question would arise over the
Incident.
Minister Taylor , when asked If any Inter
national questions were likely to arise , an
swered : "I think not , and the ijrobablc result
will bo that Sagasta will give a royal decora
tion to those who have been good enough to
rid Spain of this troublesome subject. "
Mr. Taylo- will not discuss the present
situation at Madrid. He Is engaged , however ,
In writing a review or the political , economic
and diplomatic phases of the Cuban problem
with his own views drawn from experience
at Madrid and refuses to make any comment
In advance of his carefully prepared review
of the case.
PLAY FOR DELAY.
The talks of administration officials with
Mr. Taylor and General Lee have given an
accurate view of the situation both at Havara
and Madrid resulting from the change ot
Spanish cabinet and policy. There Is good
ref son to bcllevo that the vlaw communicated
to the State department In that the accession
of Sagasta means a Kablan policy of delay ,
not only for the present , but for many weeks
to come , and that no definite policy for Cuba
will be announced for some time.
As an evidence of this , It Is pointed out
that General nianco , the new captain gen
eral of Cuba , will not leave for his post before -
fore the 16th. Officials believe his departure
Is more likely to bo deferred until the 20th.
The trip from Barcelona to ( Havana will
take about eleven days , so that the new-
captain general will not reach Havana be
fore the early part of next 'month. This , It
is said , will permit all pending
Cuban questions to bo held In suspense at
least until the now official reaches his post.
After that It la anticipated that the Spanish
cabinet will desire that General T31arico be
given time to familiarize himself with the
situation and his duties and to mature the
policy ho Is to apply to the Island , and for
the execution of that policy an allowance
of tlmo for Its fair trial , etc. According to
these In a position to accurately Judge the
situation will lead to protracted delays on
those subjects to which the United States
iccently has Invited the attention ot Spain.
Senor Dubosc , secretary of the Spanish le
gation , has returned and Is the only Spanish
nAlil-l * Woi.Mi on IT " " , 1 0 nLi'iut
reserve concerning the piesent situation.
CISNEROS INCIDENT.
State department officials make light of the
prospect of any International trouble follow
ing the escape of Miss Clsneros. Thej say
that , presuming that the girl and her res
cuer have reached the United States , they
cannot bo surrendered even If claimed by
the Spanish authorities. The case Is cov
ered by two principles of law that are
never deviated from , according to the State
department 'people. As far as concerns Miss
CUneros , she being a political refugee , can
not under our organic law bo surrendered
and there Is no clause In the Spanish ex
tradition treaty that would servo as a 'basis '
for a claim for her surrender. The cir
cumstances under which she may have
reached the United States cannot affect the
force of this doctrine. As for the Journal's
agent , who secured the escape of the girl ,
his case Is expressly covered In the fallowIng -
Ing article of the extradition treaty between
Spain and the United States , concluded In
1877 :
"Article 8. Neither of the contracting
parties shall be bound to deliver up Its own
citizens or subjects under the stipulations of
this convention. "
This treaty was amended In 1882 , but this
particular article vlll was not touched and
remains In full force. Moreover , It has been
the general policy ot the Unlte.l States to
refufo to deliver up Us own citizens to a
foreign state , even when they were accused
of crime In such state.
At the last session of congress President
Cleveland cent to the senate the draft ot
two treaties he had negotiated and submitted
for Its appnnal. These were the extradition
treaties with the Argentine confederation and
with the Orange- Free State. In each caeo
an article was Inserted permitting the sur
render ot the citizen ot a state to another
otato upon charging of a crlmo. These ar
ticles were Inserted by express direction of
the president. When the treaties were taken
up In the senate the now form was dis
covered and the senate very promptly cut
out the twn articles , the debates strongly
asserting the uccislon ot the legislative de
partment to countenance no such principle.
President Cleveland was ho firmly convinced
oftho value of the articles and eo deter
mined in bin opinion that this country could
no longei bo permitted to shield criminals ,
even though they were Americans , that ho
refuted to complete the negotiations , al
though neither of the other contracting par
ties cared particularly for the retention ot
the articles.

received the following tele ? ram from Gov
ernor Iloleotnb , who arilvcd In Lincoln In ths
nftcrpcon from Nashville :
"Have Just arrlved. Thlnt 1 should como
to Omaha nnd rcfutc lnfamous falsehood
about my having knowledge of Hartley's
shortage when I approved bond. "
The falsehood referred to Is contained In
the offer made In Judge Powell's court last
week by Attorney Frank Hansom anJ Gen
eral Cowln , In which sihcy offered to show
that at the cjosj of Hartley' ) ) first term of
odlcc as state treasurer he was over $350,000
short In his accounts , and that this fact was
known to GoTcrnor-Holcomb at the tlmo that
he approved Uartlc > 's bond for his second
term , which Is the Instrument on which suit
Is now being brought to recover the amount
of Hartley's defalcation.
It Is anticipated by Attorney General
Smyth that the governor will auk to be put
on the stand In the trial. The attorney
general states , however , thai he will not call
htm to the stand.

CHICAGO , Oct. 11. Charles Hammond , the

feet from the Ennrijhnnso at. Fort Slio ld n t ?
the hcauquAitefs of the post , began at noon
to serve a fourteen-day sentence of solitary
confinement , with a bread and water diet.
This decision of the summary court at Fort
Sheridan deals alone with Hammond's refusal
to work as a prisoner. The finding was ic-
turned by. Lieutenant Colonel Balnbrldge , who
was sitting during the sessions , and was
this morning approved by Colonel Robert II.
Hall , the commanding officer of the post.
Captoln Lovcrlng , the officer whoso treat
ment c.t the rebellious private has created a
storm of discussion In civic and army ci'clcs
alike , will undergo no Investigation. Colonel
Hall asserts that his subordinate only obeyed
Instructions as a soldlor ; that his treatment
of Prisoner Hammond was wholly excusable
under the circumstances , and that ho would
In no wise censure the behavior of the cap
tain.

The whole affair will now probably be re
viewed by a general court-martial , which will

oner Hammond with disobeying orders.

WASHINGTON , Oct. 11. Major General
Miles , commanding the army , has returned
to Washington from a five months' tour of
Europe for the study of European military
methods and the collection of Information
that might bo of value In the development
of our army. The views of General Miles
on the respective merits of the aimici , ot tne
great military powers of Emud hue luen
very well set out In the Intcrv'.cvs ' with him
sent out by cable from London by the Asso
ciated press betoro thu sailing of the officer ,
Still In matters of detail ho will have a good
deal to say In his report that will be novel
and Interesting. One feature of the man
euvers which were conducted on a grand
scale in four of the European countries that
attracted the special attention of General
Milfs , because it Is as yet lacking In our
own military system to any appreciable de
gree , was the use of balloons In field opera
tions , not from flxeM points , but on movable
bases. For Instance , at St. Qucntlnwhich
was the scene of the French maneuvers , a
balloon floated half a mile up In the nlr.
It was attached by cable and telephone wires
to a wagon drawn by eight horses and this
team was galloped over the field at a rapid
rate , enabling the observr to scan a vast
expanse of country.
