Tho Insurgent major, Veto, was killed during tho engagement, as were Corporal McGllI and Private Tlpps, both belonging to Company A of tho Twenty first. Several columus of the American troops contlnuo vigorously to pursuo Gen eral CalllteH. General Cullies recently offered a reward of 110,000 for tho head of Captain Kdwant N, Jones, Jr., of tho Klgbt Infantry. For morn than a year past Calllcs has com manded the Insurgent forces operating to the cast of Day Lake, not far from Manllr. lie Is said to be a French half caste.

Ilfy Pnrlo t- Thrlr Adop tion of CI roan Life. (Copyright, 1901, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, April 2f. (New York World Ca blegramSpecial Telegram.) Two beauti ful American girls, twins, known as tho Misses Cunnnlngham, strong and lithe, mado their debut ns female acrobats In the arena of the fashionable Nouvcau Clrcuc In Paris two weeks ago. Tho rumor soon spread In the American colony that there was n mystery connected with these fair compatriots. It became tho rage to see tnoir periormaiico nnd to seek Introductions for the Misses Cunningham wore not only extraordinarily handsome, but also cnltuiul and versed In all the little refinements of society. Tho best women of the colony in vited them to special teas nnd reception.;. The girls seemed modestly pleased oy these attentions, but with gentle craft and firmness resisted all efforts to draw o:t any Information, though they admit that Cunningham Is r.nt their surname, nor Gladys and Lcolne their Christian names. One French paper snys they nro tho daughters of Edward Padcn Deacon, who killed his wife ten years ago at Nice, whero he discovered her deceit. Hut this seems a preposterous effort to connect the young women with a not yet forgotten Franco- American scandal. A writer for another paper nllcges that an American dlplomit who knew the girls In Washington ns chil dren says they nro the natural dnughtcrs of a onco eminent politician who was dis graced In tho American capital by n sensa tional trial. This also seems bosh. At any rate, "All Paris" knows about tho two "Mysterious American beauties," nnd Is keenly anxious to learn their history. The World correspondent called on th-; Misses Cunningham at their pretty apart ment on the Avenue Victor Hugo and ob tained tho following Htntcmetit from one of tho twins, Gladys or Lconle, ho can't tc.l which: "Nothing should concern the public about us except our performance. We are Ameri cans, it Is true, but for reasons of our own we desire to keep our Identity to oursolves. We do como from n very good nnd very well known family and arc graduates ot one of the principal girls' colleges, but the rumor that wo were driven to adopt In cognito by scandal Is gratuitous. "Three years ago we suddenly found our selves compelled to earn our own living. W had some little means left but not enough to provide the comfort vc were accustomed to. Wo had to ohooso between being saleswomen, typowrlters. trained nurses or some such thing. Marriage was and remains out of tho question for us. "None of the usual occupations for women nttracted us; they provided small pay and monotonous expense. Therefore, as wo had been athletes nnd acrobats from youth, when we used to lock ourselves In our room to perform acrobatic feats, wo decided to turn what wo had learned In fun to account We came to Europe three years ago and went through n systematic training under tho best circus performers. irt HlKhrr Offer. "This Is our second engagement. We ap peared first In Lyons at ths Clrlque Rancy, where head clown Alphnno, our most bo loved master and a man of genius in his line, designed the act Vr now perforin In Paris, u clou nlc fantasy. "Wc get. In American monoy, HO a night, for both, and 30 for matinees, That's only 1 150 a week for each, provided we feel like working at each performance, which wo can't and don't. We havo offers of much higher pay. For the same reasons which prevent us from baying who wo were In the United States, we shall never return there, either to perform or to live. "Wo enjoy circus life. It is a career as good ns another, oh respectable as any If you make it so, and certainly more Inde pendent than most." Tho twins enter the circus arena tumbling and laughing llko robust sprites. One Is clad In hlnck, tho other In scarlot satin tights. Each has a funny but graceful white wig, nnd their faces are powdered white like Pierrots, with bounty spots of black court plaster at the corners of tho Hps. Throughout the act, a perfect whirl wind of pretty and dnngcrous exorcises, no wprd is spoken, but the girls laugh all tho time as though having the greatest fun In the world.

The French League of tho Rights of Man has received a letter from the Ottoman Liberal committee. In Constantinople appealing to tho league to take up the propaganda for the release of former Sultan Mournd, who was deposed August HI. 1876, on the ground ot 111 health nnd mental Incapacity, Tho communication proceeds In part as follows: "The deposed sultan Is undergoing a martyrdom In prison nt Tchlragan more cruel than the sufferings of the victim ot Devil's Island, Ho was Imprisoned on the pretext of madness. Ha has not seen a human face, except that of his Jailor, for twenty-flvo years, nor n letter, a newspaper or book. He Is not allowed to leave his rooms and Is thus hurled In a living grnvo." Tho committee urges that If ho Is really deranged he should be treated scien tifically. Senor Trlator, president of tho league, who was very active In tho agita tion that resulted In the release ot Dreyfus, has replied assuring the Ottoman Liberal committee of the sympathy of the league and Issues an appeal to the Turkish govern ment.

The report of General Ketteler, received hero from Kuo Lu, dlf- 'fers from the other reports concerning tho German-French expedition previously re ceived. O. neral Kottclcr's report shows that the Chinese troops did not leave tho prov ince till they were forced to do so. The entire brigade commanded by General Ket teler met tho enemy on April 23 and In flicted Immcnso loss upon them. The report does not give this loss. The Germans had one officer and three soldiers killed and twenty-eight soldiers wounded. Tho Chi nese wore forced to leave the province and were fully demoralized. Tho French au thorities stated that tho Chinese had crossed tho border of tho province on April 19, In which case they must have subse quently returned. LI Hung Chang rays It Is impossible to bcllovo that General Lul Uwang Ting In tentionally disobeyed his order und anx iously awaits tho Chinese report of tho en counter referred to by General Ketteler. Li Hung Chang paid return calls to the different legations yesterday and congrat ulated Special Commissioner Rockhlll on tho stain' token by tho Americans In the matter of Indemnity. It Is not generally thought among tho ministry of tho powers that Mr. Rockhlll's effort In this direction will provo successful, though most of them ndmlt that they must bo guided In tho mat ter by tho Instructions they receive from their homo governments. Nine Chlnnmon will bo executed tomorrow In tho American district for highway rob bery and violence.

PARKHURST ON HYPOCRITES $ny nrtln-rnrr In Simply I, run Krimk Tlinn Southerner In DUIIUIiik the .Vi'Krn. NEW YORK, April 28. Rev. Dr. Charles II. Parkhurst preached today at tho Madi son Square Presbyterian church on topics connected with hla recent trip south, Re ferring to tho estimation In which the people of the south and those of tho north bold tho negro, Dr. Parkhurst said: "Tho southerner does not like the negro any belter than the averngo northerner docs, and tho two carry themselves toward tho negro with JubI about tho same amount of Christian consideration, only of tho two, the southern white man has perhaps this advantage, that ho does not make quite so flamboyant a pretense of loving the negro as his northern conferee does. The southern white man dislikes tho negro, and owns up to It. Tho white man In the north dislikes the negro and 1 IcJ nbout It." The preacher said further: "The undls criminating act by which the negroes had conferred upon them tho right to vote, was ono of those blunders that It Is not easy to escape from after It Is once committed, but which It would seem we ought to have had northern statesmanship sufficiently In telligent to prevent. "The counsel that both the northern and tho southern friends of tho negro are now giving him, Is to keep quiet upon tho whole suffrage matter, to keep out of politics, not to talk about the constitution, not to Insist upon his rights, but to attend Industriously to the work of getting himself well ready which he Is not now for what God and the country and the future may have in store for him," BANKS AND P0ST0FFICES WiialiliiKton Hlic otlcr nf Improve ments In llie Serlee to (he People nf the nrtlnt rut.

ASTONISHING RESULT OF DELIBERATIONS Night in Retirement Brings Abent Remarkable Oenclaiion. JUDGE BAKER REBUKES THE JURORS Diimints Tbem with a Etera Reprimand After Hearing Verdict. CALLAHAN IS AGAIN UNDER ARREST Two Additional l imine Auiilnut lllin nil Which Ho Will Ho Heard Before lie (inen I'.n tlrelj Free. James Callahan In not ctilllv nf enmnllr. Ity in tho kldnnplng of Eawnrd Cudahy. Jr. Such was tho verdict of tho Jury which, for nearly a week lu Judge Baker's court, hnd been henr'ng evidence in this nolul ensc. The verdict was n mirnrlKo t n n ma jority of thoso who hnve followed tho tes timony rlosely, ns It was generally believed that tho defendant would bo convicted. Judge linker wns deeply Incensed. Ho roundly censured tho lurv. savlnc h. rnubl not conceho how twelve Intelligent men. nftcr bearing the evidence, could reach such ii conclusion. Callahan was discharged ns tn tho rlinrcn of robbery, but was Immediately rearrested on two other counts those of grand Inrcuiy :nid false Imprisonment. An attempt wilt bo mndo to convict him on one or both ot these charges with substantially the earno evidence ns was adduced In the case Just closed. The Jury was discharged "without tho compliments of tbo court." Today Chief of Police Donahue will rec ommend that tho reward of J5.000 for tbo arrest of Pat Crowe bo withdrawn. In hU opinion the fnct of n reward hanging over tho head of Callahan wns largely responsi ble for his acquittal, as It left room to doubt tho sincerity of thoso who hnd been instru mental In his capture. Aniimiiu'liiK the Verdict. At 0 o'clock Sunday morning tho Jury notified tho bailiff In chargo that It had reached n verdict. Tho Jurors wore then tnkon to breakfast nnd n mesenger was sent to Judgo Bnkir esklng him to come to tho court, room and receive tho verdict. About fifty persons, most of them police men nnd doiec-.lves, wero assembled In th. spectators' benches when the Jury returned from brciikfast. Judge Baker wnB on tho bench. Callahan. In custody of n deputy sheriff, entered n moment Inter and took his old seat at one of tho counsel tables. His lawyers were not prcscut. The clerk railed tho roll and aslc.d tho Jury If It had reached it verdict, to which tho foreman re plied thnt It bad. Tho document was passed to tho clerk. Burlng those proceedings there was no evidence of nnxlety on tho part of tho de fendant. His fnco was a blank. Ho sat with his legs crossed, his elbows on tho table and his chin In the palm of his hand, the picture of indifference. Then the clerk read tho words: "We, tho Jury, find tho defendant not guilty." A smile lit up tho face of the nccused and ho turned :.alf-way round In his chair ns If to receive tho congratulations of some one, but eongrntulntluns we.ro not forth coming. However, ho was not abashed. Tho expression of his cadaverous countonanco wns that of exultation rather than grati tude. Interpreted Into words, It would havo said: "I told you so." He turned slowly back and began to train his smllo upon tho Ju.y. Court Score the Jury. Tho rending of tho verdict, which wan received In nbsoluto sllcnco, was followed by a pause during which tho Judgo studied the written words on tho sheet. Ho seomed to havo doubled his ears and to need tho concurrence of tho sense of sight beforo ho could fully realize what had happened. Then, facing tho twelve talesmen, ho said sternly: Gentlemen of tho Jury: This In crtnlnlv n most rumurknblo verdict In the light of ho evidence, that has been disclosed In .V'1" t,nH(!- VJU 1'rQbnbl.v understand, but I ennnot conceive of twolvn Intelligent men 1 f, !l,iS,i? ,Uih " '''n?''

Ono or two shifted uneasily In their tents and looked shame-fared, but for tho most part they seemed to Imperfectly iindorstimd tho purport of the Judge's words. After tho court had concluded Cnllahau arose, approached tho bench nnd ni,i. mi your honor pleafo, my lawyers nro not here, uuu i wuum hub io nay a word on my own account, and thnnk these Jurors," "Sit down, Mr. Cullnnnn," commands! tho Judgo sternly. "Tho Jury docs not de serve thanks." This closed tho uccno In tho court room, The Jury left tho box and sauntered out Into the hall, followed by Callahan, whsra ensued tho Incident of hand-shaking and mumbled thanks, an awkward nnd rmlur rasied rite, as it was observed under I hi contemptuous eyes of the officers und other late witnesses for tho Ntate.

Many of tho Jurors lay down upon the floor and went to slesp, At 2 o'clock Sunday mottling tho sleepers wero aroused and a ballot was tnken, which resulted In a voto of 11 to 1, The begin nlng of the end was In sight.
