Key West, Fla., Jan. 12.— Copies of the Vose de Cuba received here show that that newspaper recently published an extra, advising all loyal Spaniards not to buy the Madrid papers. The claim is made that the attacks of the Madrid papers on Weyler have a ten­ dency to do him more harm thau the attacks of the Patria and El Porvenir, of New York. Several young men who recently joined the insurgents at Manzanillo report the existence of widespread dis­ affection among the followers of Rabi and Calixto Garcia. Advices have been received from Trinidad that several young men who recently joined the insurgents at Sancti Spiritns report that a number of days since Maximo Gomez was encamped near La Campania. On the 1st of January, it is asserted, the insurgent leaders, Jose Miguel and Gomez, passed by the Mapos plantation, in company with other Cuban insurgent command­ ers. Over 500 families are reported to have been burned out of their houses, ow ing to the recent orders to destroy the property, and even the homes of pacificos. Many of these persons have been unable to save even their clothing. Mothers are carrying their babes in their arms, and are without food and resting places. Old, grayheaded men and women are barely able to move, owing to the prolonged |>eriod of suffer­ ing, and many of them will probably etarvo to death. The magnificent sugar estate of Santa Rosa has been burned by the insurgents. For several days the horizon lias been brilliantly illuminated by tho destroy­ ing fires. Many of the canefields in this vicinity are still burning. H U N G A R IA N C H R IS TEN IN G . L i q u o r F l o w e d Freely, nml a St u bb in g M atch W a s the He «ult. Scranton, Pa., Jan. 12.— A Hun­ garian christening at Mayfield, this county, had the usual bloody ending M’hicli attends such affairs, for as a re- suit one man is dead, two are dying and five others are badly carved. Strong liquor flowed freely at the christening, and soon many of the men were mad with drink. Seven of the participants in the fracas went to the house of Lucetz Krutchas. Krutchns soon had to resent an insult to his wife, and knives flashed out. Mrs. Krutchas dashed out the light and fled from the room. A fearful fight followed in the dark. The drink- maddened men cut and stabbed each other and rolled together on the floor in deadly grapple. Finally a constable and posse broke into the house and when a light was had a ghastly picture was presented. Tiie furniture was battered and broken and blood was everywhere, and stretched on the floor wore eight ap­ parently dead and «lying men, groaning and cursing. A physician was hastily summoned. Krutchas Mas so terribly cut that he died in a short time. The injuries of the other men show the sav­ age nature of the fight. Keat eu and B o b b e d by T h u g « . Chicago, Jan. 12.— Mrs. Charles Bouchzein, of 47 Clark street, Mas at­ tacked by two highwaymen at Kinzie and West Water streets last night and dragged from the cab in which sire Mas riding and robbed. About 10 o ’clock a cab Mas driven to her home and a note Mas handed her puprorting to have been signeii by a friend, asking her to take the rah to his home at once. Mrs. Bouchzein hurriedly dressed and departed in tire cab. West Water street is a dark thor­ oughfare, and as the driver turned north into it two men ran out from the shallow of u building and appeared at the door of the vehicle. One of the men threw red popper Into the eyes of the woman to blind her. She Mas then beaten Mith a re­ volver until she wan unconscious. Her assailants robbed her of her jewelry, valued at $1,500, an«l her pocketho«ik, which contained $100. She was «1 ragged into the street and her assailants es- capeil in the same cab. Her injuireg are said to he dangerous. of U nion P acific and Its Salt Lake, Jan. 12.— The sale of the Oregon Short Line & Utah Northern railway, under the consoldiated mort­ gage of August 1, 1889, was made today ; under direction of John B. Cleland, court commissioner. Samuel Carr, Walter C. Oakman and Henry G. Nieholls, representing the reorganiza­ tion committee, purchased the property for $5,447,500. The Utah Southern road was bid iu by the same parties foi $763,000. They also purchased tht Utah Southern extension, for $975,000. W. H. Bancroft w ill be general man­ ager of the company. The transfer of tho Oregon Short Line & Utah Northern, with property lying in five of the Western states, was of great interest to railroad men in the intermountain country. The eventt were the legal forms by which the sub­ branches of the Union Pacific trunk system Mere foreclosed and bid in by the holders of liens upon them, and are to be followed by a reorganization of the officers and employes of the lines j involved. IN D IA N The A PP R O P R IA TIO N S . B i l l Co m p le te d mul the House. R ep or ted to Washington, Jan. 13.— Tho Indian appropriation bill for the next fiscal year was completed today by the house committee on Indian affairs, and re­ ported to the house by Sherman. The bill carries a total of $7,465,000, which is somewhat less than the appropriation for the current year. The allowance for schools, however, is increased $20,- 000, and provision is nuule for starting tiie new schools at Chamberlain and Rapid City, 8. D ., whose establish­ ment was provided for by the last bill. There is au item continuing the Dawes commission, with special sal­ aries and compensation, and $40,000 is given for the exi>ense8 of tiie com­ mission of citizens who serve without compensation. The claims of tiie old settlers against Western Cherokee In­ dians, which have been a troublesome question for years, are settled by a clause directing the secretary of the interior to pay $86,200 on projier requi­ sition. Three hills for the ratification of the treaties to secure Indian lands are incroporated in the bill. One is Flynn’s bill to ratify tho agrément with the Comanche, Kiowa and Apache tribes of Oklahoma, by which the gov­ ernment is to secure their reservations for $2,000,000. Tiie second is for ratification of the treaty of 1892 with | tho Turtlo Mountain Chippewas, of North Dakota, for their lands. Repre­ sentative Mondell’s project for making i a government reservation of the Hot Springs on tho Shoshone reservation, in Wyoming, for which a treaty lias been made with the Indians, is includ­ ed. j One of tho most important features of the hill is tiie incorporation in it of a hill recently introduced by Sherman of New York, which provides for three ! Indian commissioners to succeed the present commissioner and deputy com­ missioner. One of tiie three is to lie an army officer, and the office of deputy commissioner is to ha done away with. D u rr a n t M a y Get a N e w T r i a l . Ban Francisco, Jun. 12.— It is re­ ported in legal circles that the supreme court may send tiie Durrant case hack for retrial. A t least one of the Jus­ tices is sa ill to have openly said tiie evi­ dence against Durrant for tiie murder of Blanche Lament was insufficient to convict. He believes Durrant was found guilty to satisfy the popular clamor, and if lie can influence tiie other justices to tho same view, a new trial may be ordered, as was in the case o f Dr. Milton Bowers, who now walks the streets u free man. Although the Durrant cuse is now under submis­ sion, Attorney-General Fitzgeralil lias not filed his brief in reply to the de­ fendant's brief. When that is filed there w ill be a defendant’s brief in re­ turn. Two months may elapse before the all-important decision of the su­ preme court is handed down. H a a d -R n d C o llis io n . Fort Worth, Tex., Jan. 12.— A head- end collision ocurred today between two freight trains on the Gulf, Colo­ rado & Santa Fe road at llazlett, two miles north of here. One train was standing on the main line waiting for the other to tnke the siding. The en­ gineer of the south-bound train pre­ sumed that the switch bad been thrown, and came ahead at a lively s[>eeoper A ttack a« In House. Washington, Jan. 1!.— The second day’s debate on tho Pacific railway re­ funding bill developed by far tho most sensational incident of this session of congress. Jonhnson of California, tho only member of tho California delega­ tion who favors tho funding bill, in the course of his remarks took oooasion to make a remarkable, vituperative personal attack on Editor Hoarst, o f the Ban Francisco Examiner. Ho de­ scribed Mr. Hoarst and Mayor Butro as men who wore terrorizing the Pacific coast members, and made statements concerning tiie former which led Coop­ er, of Wisconsin to characterize it later as the "m ost disgraceful attack in the legislative annals of the United States. ” The members, who had been listen­ ing attentively to Johnson’s remarks, as he is always one of the most enter­ taining speakers in tiie house, were thunderstruck at tho lengths to which lie went. A t the last session Johnson denounced Hoarst, but on that occasion lie was called to order by Maguire of California. Today ho completed his philippio without interruption. Tho speech created a profound sensation, which w as increased by Cooper's denun­ ciation of it as a cowardly attempt to blacken tho reputation of a man of “ positive genius.” Cooper also took oooasion to score the gentleman from California roundly for his attitude to­ ward the bill. Johnson made no at­ tempt to reply to Cooper. This incident completely overshad­ owed the interest in the debate on the funding bill,- and thereafter it pro­ ceeded quietly to the hour when recess was taken. The general debate closed today. Harrison gave notice of a substitute he should offer to provide for a com­ mission to oonsist iif the secretary of tiie treasury, secretary of tho interior aud the attorney-general, to negotiate the settlement of the debt. MURDER OF P A C IF IC O S . K v Id t*»ire « A c c u m u l a t i n g o f A w f u l 8 pan* l«h H u t c h « r l « N at O u a u n lm c oa . New York, Jan. 11.— A Key WeBt dispatch to tho World says: Evidences of awful butcheries at Guanabacoa accumulate daily. A d­ vices from Havana report that a great pit filled with corpses and human frag­ ments was discovered in a canefield, not more than a mile from that place. A careful investigation revealed at least twenty whole bodies and many more legs anil arms, otiior parts of the dismembered bodies being missing. Of the bodies remaining entire, four were those of women, three of young misses, one of a girl not more than ten years old, four of boys, and the rest of men. Permission to bury the remains was brutally refused, with a threat that if this slaughter was complained of many more would be added to what the Span­ ish officials culled the “ Cuban diet” pile. Tiie edict refusing permission to re­ move furniture and other things unless asked for twenty-four hours previously is taken advantage of by the Spanish soldiers to wreck buildings and revile and insult, if not kill, persons suspect­ ed of Cuban leanings. Some families in the poorer sections of the city, who did not know of the edict, started to move Sunday night. After they had loaded their furniture on wagons, the |ioiice anil soldiers fired on them, killing eight persons, includ­ ing several innocent passers-by. In the official re(iort it was stated that the troopB hail been attacked and several rebels had been killeil. A girls’ school near the center of the town was entered by troops one day lost week, and the principal, an elder­ ly Cuban-born woman, very prominent, was compelled to kneel to the officer in command and beg pardon for using translations of text-books printed in the United States. The girl pupils were insulted und rudely treated until the school was broken up in disorder. A complaint to the commandant^ only excited laughter that “ such a little thing” was complained of. Havana is much agitated by rumors of victories by Gomez’s troops; of the successful crossing of the trocha into Pinar del Rio, and several routs of Spanish troops. General Weyler is execrated on every hand, but, on account ot the severe censorship and Weyler’s system of spies, no one dares say a word aloud. Every one thinks his neighbor a spy, and little can be learned from anyone. Spies by the hundred attend the open- air concerts, and the least dissatisfac­ tion expressed is used as a pretext and the victim is thrust into Cabanas or More castle, most likely never to be seen again by friends or kindred. Scarcely a night passes but ten to twenty persons disap|>ear, and every one knows what Unit means. B o l d C hi ca go H o l d - U p . Chicago, Jan. 11.— Two armed rob- rs entered the buffet of the Auditor- m hotel at 1:30 this morning, while twelve people were sitting at the table, covered the cashier, D. Walsh, with their weapons, seized $100 which he had just deposited in a tin box, and then escaped. The men entered the buffet from the door in the annex. They were well dressed, and created no suspicion until they drew their revol­ vers. Cashier Walsh had counted out the money and deposited it in tiie box when one of the robbers said: “ Cry for help and you’ re a dead man.” His companion seised the cash and both backed out of the door with drawn weapons. They ran into Lake-Front Park and the police could find no trace of them. The annex is one of the most prominent hotels in Chicago, aud is located in tho heart of the oity.
