Havana, Feb. 26. The governor-gen
eral has put into effect the public-order
law throughout the island. This law
provides for the immediate punishment
of anybody taken in the seditious act.
Some twenty-four men have defied
the authurties and called for rebel re
emits at Y-arra, near Matanzas, and
troubles is to-ported also from Guanta
namo. It is also reported that several
revolutionary parties rose in arms in
different parts of the island.
The governor-general yesterday issued
a proclamation suspending the constitu
tional guarantees. There is great ex
citement throughout the island, and
many well-known separatists have befin
arrested. It .is reported here that th
has been an engagement between uj
government troops and the insurgents

Re-
Tales Told by Cipher Dispatches
ceived In New York.
New York, Feb. 26. Cipher dis
patches received here by members of
the Cuban revolutionary party,- to
whom the date set for the uprising has
been known since February 9th, told
that the revolution had been began
Jose Marti, twice banished from Cuba
because of his hate of Spanish domina
tion, and General Maximo Gomez, who
commanded the eastern wing of the
Cuban rebels in the revolution of 1868,
left New York two weeks ago for Vera
Cruz, and news received from Cuba last
night tells that they have landed, and
their arrival was to be the signal for an
uprising.
It was here in New York that the rev
olution was planned and it was from
here that the order was sent which
lighted the fire of civil war in Cuba
Cuban leaders here are injleague with the
revolutionists of the islands and with
sympathizers in the United States,
Mexico and South America republics,
and have been long preparing for the
event.
The insurgent forces iii Matanzas,
near Ybarr, where one wing of the pa
triot party raised its standard, are un
der the command of Major-General Julio
Sanguily. The point mentioned is about
sixty-six miles east of Havana, on the
west end of the island.
The scene of the other uprising men
tioned in the Havana dispatches, Guan
tanamo, is on the east end of the island,
and the fact that these widely separated
places are given prominence is accepted
by Cubans in New York to mean that
the uprising has extended throughout
the island, and that the Spanish author
ities are attempting to belittle its extent,
The revolutionary forces in the eastern
section of the island, which includes
Guantanamo, are commanded by Briga
dier-General Guillermo Moncada. It is
estimated that he can raise 4000 men
The Spanish forces number about 18,000
regulars, of which about 6000 are eta
tionea at bantiago de (Juba, and are
within reach of the rebels at Guanta
namo. ine duik of the remaining
Spanish troops are stationed at Havana,
and so are near the scene of General
Sanguily's starting point, Ybarra,
Men who are high in the councils of
the Cuban party, and who were in
gtructed with the date set for the upris
ing say that the arms which have been
smuggled into Cuba during the last few
weeks, and which were landed near
Matanzas and other points, and those
which are already in the' possession of
the patriotic forces of General Gomez,
would be able to arm 3000 men at once
and many more within a short time,
Over a Dead Man's Body,
Hazelton, Pa., Feb. 26. With a jug
of liauor and a jackpot on the table, a
party of gamblers were found playing
cards at Sugar Loaf yesterday, while on
the floor lay the body of a murdered
man.
Philip Schaup, the murdered man
was a mine foreman, living at sugar
Loaf, a mining village two miles east of
here, and populated by foreigners. The
news reached here yesterday that Schaup
had been found dead a few hours after
he had started to see some of his work
men.
His father-in-law, Willian Ringleben,
and several friends went at once to
Sugar Loaf, where they learned that the
boby had been carried into Mike Sink
ers' house. It was here that the search
ing party interrupted the gamblers
They claimed they had found the body
in the woods a short distance away,
and then carried it into the house,
The gamblers, who were foreigners, de-
elared that he was alive then. . Dr,
Smith expresses the opinion that the
man had been poisoned. An autopsy
will be held.
Decidedly Unique' Answer.
New York, Feb. 26. A special from
Cincinnati, O., says : Mary T. F. Fierro,
wife of John W. Fierro, a wealthy artist,
on Saturday filed a petition for divorce,
alleging neglect. Yesterday Attorney
Oden O'Neil filed for the husband the
most unique and advanced answer and
cross-petition ever filed in these courts
John Bays Mary is a devout believer and
disciple of woman's rights, and that her
pursuit and study oi this subject has in
duced her to absorb a bitter hatred for
society as it now exists, and especially
for mankind,
Mr. Fierro alleges that his wife thinks
it is his duty to support her in absolute
idleness, her conception of the rights of
a married woman Deing that she sbatl
have all the rights assumed by the stern
er sex, relegating the irksome duties of
household work to others.
Further, he says, bis spouse is a be
liever in spiritualism, and consults me
diums who pretend to advise her of his
"shortcomings" and the manner of
treatment that should be meted out to
him. On this account he asks for a
divorce, denying all her charges.

A Great Trade Destroyed.
Chicago, Feb. 26. Speaking of the
decree just issued by the French govern
ment prohibiting the importation of
American cattle, Nelson Morris, a well
known packer, said : "We shipped $18,-
000,000 worth of cattle and produce to
France alone last year, and this great
trade is absolutely destroyed by the or
der of the French government. I knew
this was coming, and with the excep
tion of three boat loads, not any cattle
or any product has been sent to France
in the last ten days. The effect of the
German and Belgium embargo bad been
to reduce the price of cattle of the classes
shipped to these countries by $10 a head,

London, Feb. 26. In the commons to
day Everett, liberal member of parlia
ment, offered a motion reciting that the
house views with apprehension the
growing divergence between gold and
silver. He urged the government to co
operate with other powers in placing
gold and silver on a common ratio.
Everett further said England was not
justified in bankrupting her debtors by
her course regarding silver. Chapin

tion and severely arraigned the govern
ment for its course toward silver. He
predicted that bimetalism wonld be vic
torious at no distant date, because it had
justice and truth on its side.
Trans-Siberian Railway.
SanxFbancisco, Feb. 26. O. P. Wia-
semsky, chief engineer of construction of
the trans-Siberian railway, arrived on
the Gaelic from the Orient. He is ac
companied by his secretary and chief
assistant. "We are going to St. Peters
burg," said he, "to make a report on the
work done on the new railroad which is
to connect Vladivostock with St. Peters
burg. About 400 miles of the railway
constructed, and I shall ask for a bill to
pay for the construction of 300 more
miles, now surveyed and staked. The
total length of the line is about 4000
miles, and it will take six or seven years
to complete it."
For Aerial Navigation.
Washington, Feb. 26. In the senate
yesterday Brice reported, without rec

retary of the treasury to pay the sum of
$100,000 to any inventor who shall prior
to 1900 construct vessels that will dem
onstrate the practicability of safely nav
igating the air at a speed of 30 miles an
hour, and capable of carrying freight
and passengers.
Jones How's Wheeler getting along
since he bought a bicycle?
Cobvallis, Or., Feb. 27. It is . re
ported from Summit, a small station
about 25 miles west of Corvallis, in
the Burnt woods .district, just over the
line in Lincoln county, that John Mc
Calb was shot and almost instantly
killed by his father-in-law, John Mc
Dowell. There seems to have been trouble for
some time between McCalb and his
wife, which finally ended yesterday by
McDowell having McCalb arrested for
assault and battery on his wife. The
trial came off yesterday in Justice
Lukey'a court at Little Elk, when Mc
Calb was acquitted.
McDowell and his family went home
ahead of McCoIb, and the latter fol
lowed with the avowed intention of tak
ing his children, who were with his
wife at his father-in-law's. He rode up
to the 'McDowell place on horseback,
and called from the gate, asking if his
children were there, to which he was
answered by MoDowell that they were.
He thereupon said that he had come for
them, and would take them, when Mc
Dowell told him he could not have them,
and it is understood that McDowell im
mediately fired a load of buckshot,
which struck McCalb and his horse,
The horse became unmanageable and
threw McCalb off. As he fell he tried
to get up. saying: "You have not
downed me yet," when McDowell
rushed out with a revolver and fired
three more shots, all taking effect in
McCalb's side.
McDowell is 73 years old, while Me
Calb is a young man. McDowell claims
he shot McCalb through fear that he
would be overpowered if he allowed him
to get too close. McCalb was not armed,
and from the information so far obtained
it is thought that the killing was not
justifiable. The coroner has been sent
for, and the inquest will be held today,
White Men Will Hunt Otters in Alaskan
Waters.
San Fkancisco, Cal., Feb. 27. The
North American Commercial Company's
schooner C. G. White will sail today on
a sea otter hunting expedition to Alaska,
She carries twenty-five men, rifles and
the usual outfit, also four engineers for
the steam launches which the company
uaes in preference to the slow-moving
canoes of the Indian hunters, who are
supposed to do the hunting for the pelt
of the exceedingly valuable sea otter,
The revenue laws are most stringent
on the point that no white man shall
kill or capture this animal in the waters
of Behring sea and along the Alaskan
coast, but the C. G. White has signed
proscribed hunters here, who will re
ceive fs.ou lor every skin they bring
over the side of the schooner. More
over they are provided with a stock of
new Winchester rifles, the use of which
will make the vessel liable to seizure, as
only clubs, spears and shotguns are to
be used by the Indians, who alone are
permitted to hunt.
The launch engineers are employed at
$40 a month for the season, and with
these small, swift steamers darting
among the coves and inlets of the hunt
ing grounds the chances of the otter to
escape and of the Indian to realize
wages from its capture are reduced to a
minimum, though it has been the inten
tion of the government to leave the sea
otter to Indians.
The schooner White has caused the
government a great deal of trouble and
has twice been seized for illegal hunting.
The schooner-yacht Rattler, owned by
the Pacific Trading Company, is also
fitting out for an otter-hunting cruise,
almost desperate, and would jump at
any possible opportunity to get through
some sort of legislation favorable to the
railroads between now and March 4,
The California members are always on
guard in the bouse as well as in the sen
ate, and. he is not likely to spring any
sort of surprise on them, as they keep
thoroughly posted as to his movements.
Members of congress generally do not
take much stock in Reilly's plan to at
tach his funding bill to one of the appro
priation bills, as they feel it would cer
tainly be defeated. "I am sure that any
such attempt would tail," said Senator
White. "Reilly evidently thinks be
could put such an amendment on in the
senate and that rather than have the
appropriation bill tail and run the risk
of having an extra session called, the
members of the house would allow it to
go through. We will take care that no
sujh amendment is adopted."
"The house would never agree to any
appropriation bill witn such an amend
ment attached," said Judge Maguire,
"However, I rely upon our senators to
see that it is not done."

Attempts to Implicate Adry in a High
way Robbery.
Minneapolis, Feb. 27. The defense
in the Hayward murder case seems de
termined to fasten the responsibility of
the highway robbery of April 25, 1893,
on Adry Hayward. The chief incident
in today's session was the testimony by
Fred Horst, liveryman, that Adry hired
a horse at 9 p. m. on that date and re
turned at 10 :30. This would have given
him time to take part in the hold-up of
his brother and Miss Ging and Miss

Washington, Feb. 28. That Congress

Pacific coast hoped so much has been
hopelessly ehelved.
Representative Gearey is, perhaps,
more disappointed than any other mem
ber of the house, at the failure of the pet
scheme to become a law. He has de
voted more attention to it than to almost
anything else during his last two years
in congress, and was confident at the
beginning of this session that the 4th of
next March would see it enacted into a
law.
He says : "The present house bill was
given more study than any other meas
ure of this sort that has ever been in
troduced in congress. The faults and
loopholes which had crept into - the
senate bill were all corrected, and there
was absolutely no chance for jobbery.
