NOSECTARIANSCHOOLS
Decided A. P. A. Victory in
House of Representatives
FIGHT LED BY LINTON OF MICHIGAN
Significant Vote In the Senate on the
Resolution for an Investigation
of the Bond Issues.
Washington, Feb. 24. The bouse to
day in committee of the whole, after a
very interesting debate, by a vote of 93
to 64, decided that none of the appro
priations in the Indian appropriation bill
for Indian Schools should go to the sec
tarian schools. The only sectarian
schools to which money now goes are
Roman Catholic in denomination, and
and the fight today was led by Linton, a
Michigan Republican, who is the most
pronounced and openly avowed A. P. A.
on the floor,
In last year's bill th appropriation
was cut down 28 per cent, with the un
derstanding that it should be reduced 20
per cent each year until it ceased, at the
end of five years. The committee on In
dian affairs this year resolved that this
appropriation be reduced 20 per cent, bnt
Linton moved an amendment that no
portion of this appropriation should go
to sectarian schools. In his speech in
support of it, he attributed the defeat of
many members two years ago to their
refusal to abolish. sectarian schools, and
predicted disaster to those who still
stood out against their abolition. He
also referred indignantly to a statue of a
Jesuit priest and decorated with the
paraphernalia of his church, which soon
is to be erected in statuary hall, in the
presence of the high dignitaries of tr e
Catholic church.
In the debate which followed, Cooper
(republican, of Wisconsin), Watson (re
publican, of Ohio), Hainer (republican,
of Nebraska), McLachlan (republican, of
California), and Grosvenor (republican,
of Ohio) supported the amendment,
while Eddy (republican, of Minnesota),
Gamble (republican, of South Dakota),
Walsh (democrat, of New York), and
Sherman (of Ohio), argued in favor of
carrying out the policy of reducing the
appropriations by 20 per cent per year.
The latter recalled that General Grant
had proposed the system, and that for 25
years congress had encouraged the
churches to carry on their educational
work among the Indians.
The Indian appropriation bill was
completed today, save for a single para
graph. SPANISH NEWS FROM CUBA.

two men wounded.
Knowing by report of a spy that the
enemy was at the plantation Elegato,
Colonel Fort went to meet them. About
2 miles from the plantation strong
groups of the enemy began firing with
the intention of deceiving the govern
ment troops, but Colonel Fort pursued
his way to the plantation and was met
by the fire of the enemy, who were in
trenched ia a strong position, formed in
half circles, according to their usual tac
tics. The troops dislodged them from
the sides by the fire of the artillery, the
center being taken by the infantry.

So Use For Corbett.
London, Feb. 24. Manager Fleming,
of the National Sporting Club, said that
under no circumstances'would tJhey sub
scribe a cent for a contest in which Cor
bett was one of the principals, but, it
was added, any other. American pugilist
might apply with fair prospects of ar
ranging a match. The'objection to Cor
bett is based on the bitter tongue-lashing
he gave theNational.Sporting Club when
he returned to the United States after
his appearance here. ' .
Secretary Stevens, of Bolingbroke
Club, said they would 'give a purse of
$8,000 for Fitzsimmons and Corbett to
compete for and allow the contestants
$500 each for expenses. Should Fitz
simmons fail to accept promptly, Frank
Slavin stands ready to' meet Corbett be
fore the Bolingbroke Club.
Slavin has already offered, in Sporting
Life, to met Fitzsimmons for $5,000 a
side in England or he will bet $5,000 he
can stop Corbett in six rounds.
Manager Fleming, of the National
Sporting Club, was surprised when in
formed jthis evening that the Boling
broke Club offered a purse of $8000 for a
contest between Fitzsimmons and Cor
bett. He said that since he announced
the determination of his club not to put
up'a cent for the contest in which Cor
bett was one of the principals, the mat
ter had been re-considered and the deci
sion reached, that if Corbett will apolo
gize, the National Sporting Club will
offer a purse for a match between, him
and Fitzsimmons..
Mrs. MaybrloJc Pardoned.
New York, Feb. 24. A local paper
says :
It is announced by cable that Mrs.
Florence May brick, who is in prison in
England, serving a life sentence for
poisoning her husband, is about to be
liberated. An official announcement to
this effect, it is said, will be made thia
week. Ever since the conviction of Mrs.
Maybrick, in 1889, great pressure has
been brought to bear upon the home
secretary to influence him to commute
her sentence. She was eentenced to
death first, but the decision was reversed
and she was sent to the working prison
for life. Her friends have been unceas
ing in theirefforteto secure her releaee
ever since, and in the until now appar
ently hopeless effort made by them.

ordinary distinction of having been the
only blood purifier allowed on exhibit at
the world's fair, Chicago. Manufact
urers of other sarsaparillas sought by
every means to obtain a Bhowing of their

"Ayer's Sarsaparilla is not a patent
medicine. It does not - belong to the
list of nostrums. It is here on its
merits."
