THE ROHE TRIBUNE.
LETTER FROM HANNA.
The Major of the sixth Hrglm**nt Writes
Concerning the Cabun War.
New York, June 24—A special to
The World from Gainesville, Fla., says:
F. R Anderfer has just received the
following letter from Major Hanua, of
the Sixth Regiment, Cubau volunteers:
Manation, Province of Puerto Prin
cipe. June 17.
We have just finished a very successful
expedition against the Spanish. Colonel
Rodriguez received orders from General
Gomez, on June 14 to start for Manation,
. where a battalion of Spanish srfldiers were
stationed. So at la. tn. on June 15 we
started on our mission. Our march was
. a forced one as we had to move quickly
in order to surprise the enemy. At mid
night of June 16 our scouts reported Man
ation a mile to the front. So after two
hours’ rest we received the command,
i "Forward, march!” and our work had
commenced.
General Rodriguez detailed companies
1 A and B, and placing them under my
L command ordered me to make a detour
and attack the enemy from the north to
draw their attention, while he with the
main body of troops attacked from the
rear. The attack was started at 4a. m.
• I commenced my attack by driving in
their pickets and surprising them com
pletely, for they had not expected any in
surgents within miles. Their command-
’ ler immediately formed them to receive
us, but by this time my two companies
> I had reached the shelter of some buildings
b i and were pouring a deadly fire into their
ranks from our Winchesters. Just then
our main forces came up and attacked
them in the rear, sending a disastrnus fire
I upon them, which was repeated again and
b agaiix until the Spaniards, finding them
selves between two fires, broke and fled
after firing one volley, some of them fly
ing away and throwing away their guns
in their haste to escape.
Their commandant was a brave man
. and sought to stay them striking down
. two of them with his sword, but it was in
, vain. So, in himself, deserted by his
men, he surrendered to Colonel Rodri-
■ guez. Our men pursued the Spaniards
s, and succeeded in taking 3.10 prisoners.
Our loss is 52 killed and wounded, and
the Spanish loss is estimated at 139. We
' captured 50,000 rounds of ammunition
• and abqut 400 rifles.
Our distinguished prisoner reports him
self as Colonel Sanchez, and his command
as the Ninth battalion of Spain.
' From one of the prisoners I learn that
they have lost 145 men from yellow fever
, alone.
We are now busy burying the dead and
’ caring for the wounded of both sides. I
1 received a slight scalp wound.
We start on our return tonight.
F. P. Hanna,
Major Sixth Regiment.
The Spaniards Were XniAucr.il,
New York, June 24 —A special to
i The World from Boston says: The
.steamer Breidablik, which has arrived
; Irom Sama, Cuba, confirms »he story
■ of the massacre of Spanish soldiers at
[ J Sama. Several of the Spaniards were
, killed and quartered and nailed to
trees near the beach and others were
■ taken prisoners.
Since the massacre a large Spanish
. army with headquarters at Gibara,
, some 15 miles distant, is engaged in
fighting the rebels in the vicinity of
Baralya, about ten miles inland from
Sama. A regiment of soldiers is sta
. tioned at Sama at presen t and every
vessel that enters the harbor is now
placed under the care of the Spanish
> soldiers. Four of these soldiers occu
pied the deck of the Breidablik during
her stay in that port and watched every
movement of the men on board and
carefully scanned every visitor who
came aboard the ship.
The cargo Also was watched while it
was being shipped, and care was taken
that nobody came away on the vessel
who did not belong on her. This is the
first time that soldiers have been sta
tioned on the Breidablik. The vessel
was thoroughly searched on her arrival
and every vessel that enters the harbor
from this out will be treated in the
same way. None of the crew was al
lowed to go on shore during the stay
at Sama except the captain.
She Wanted a Shirt Waist Badly.
Philadelphia, June 24. —Disappoint
ed because her sister had not brought,
her a shirt waist, 14-year-old Katie Mc-
Coy, who lived in the rear of 1307 Law
rence street, committed suicide by
hanging herself. The child lived with
her sister, Mrs. Mary Baker, who had
promised her the coveted garment <?n
Saturday, but failed to keep her word.
Katie was much chagrined when she
learned of her disappointment and dur
ing the night she quietly crept upstairs
and, attaching a clothes line to her 1
neck, hanged herself.

ROME. GA.. TUESDAY. JUNE 25. 1895.
A CABINET CRISIS.
It Continues to be the Sole Topic of
Discussion.
SALISBURY MAY BS THE PREMIER
All Kinds of Rumors Afloat in
London z
AS TO FORMING THE NEW CABINET
A Dissolution of Parliament is Probable In
a Fortnight and Harcourt is to be
Given an Ovation.
London, June 24:—The Marquis of
Salisbury conferred during the morn
ing with the Right Hon. A. J. Balfour,
the Conservative leader in the house of
commons, the Duke of Devonshire, the
Unionist leader in the house of lords,
and with Right Hon. Joseph Chamber
lain, the Unionist leader in the house
of commons, at his house in London,
and proceeded to Windsor at 1:30 p. m.
in reply to the summons of the queen,
following the resignation of the Rose
berry ministry.
The cabinet crisis continues to absorb
the attention of the clubs, etc., and the
best informed speculations regarding
the cabiuet agree in the belief that
Lord Salisbury will accept the task of
forming a cabinet and a new ministry
to be composed of representatives of
both sections of the Unionist party, al
though a dissolution of parliament can
not long be delayed.
It may not be necessary to fill all the
places in the ministry as The Times in
timates before taking steps for an im
mediate appeal to the country, then,
according to the program, the Marquis
of Salisbury would become premier and
president of the council of ministers
and the Duke of Devonshire would be
come secretary of state for foreign af
fairs. Mr. Balfour is said to be slated
for the office of first lord of the treas
ury and Mr. Chamberlain will become
secretary of state for war. The Right
Hon. George J. Goshen, formerly chan
cellor of the exchequer, is said to be
slated for the post of first lord of tne
admiralty.
Lord Lansdowne, Sir Henry James
and the Hou. Leonard Courtney, Lib
eral- Unionist, are also-reported to have
been selected for cabinet positions.
The principal members of the Salis
bury cabinet must, be re-elected imme
diately, and the dissolution of parlia
ment is expected within a fortnight.
The Marquis of Londondery, Conser
vative, is expected to be the next vice
roy of Ireland.
In the house of commons there was a
most animated scene, and outside the
houses of parliament large crowds of
people had gathered eagerly discussing
the situation.
The speaker, Mr. William Court Cul
ly, took the chair at 3p. m., and soon
afterwards the secretary of state for
war, Mr. H. Campbell Bannerman en
tered the house amid prolonged Liberal
cheers.
Mr. Balfour followed and was greet
ed with vigorous cheering from his
supporters.
At 3:30 p. m. the chancellor of the
exchequer, Sir William Vernon Har
court, entered the house and the. Lib
erals rose in a body and cheered him to
the echo.
The supporters of Mr. Chamberlain
made a similar demonstration when the
Unionist leader entered the house of
commons.
It is officially announced that the
Marquis of Salisbury has accepted the
task of forming a new cabinet.
CARNOT’S ASSASSINATION.
The Anniversary of His Death Celebrated
at Paris—Faure Was Present.
Paris, June 24.—1 n the presence of
enormous crowds of people the anni
versary of the death of President Car
not, .who was assassinated at Lyons
June 24 last year by Caesario Santos,
the anarchist, who was afterwards exe
cuted for the crime, was observed at the

Faure, M. Challemel-LacQur, president
of the French senate, and M. Brisson,

deputies, followed by the cabinet min
isters, ambassadors, senators and depu
ties. The cortege arrived at the tomb
at 10:15 a. m.
M. Faure, in depositing a crown upon
the tomb, said:
•’ln the name of the republic, on' the
day on which is renewed the mourning
of the country, I lay this crown upon
lhe tomb of President Carnot.”
The religious ceremonies took place
in the church of La Madelaiue at 11

FIGHT IN KENTUCKY
Promises to be the Hottest in the His
tory of the State.
CLAY SAYS GOLD, HARDIN SILVER
The Polling of the Louisville
Papers Show
THE GOLD MEN IN THE MAJORITY
But the Silver Men .Dispute Their Esti»
ma es—The selection of a Tem
porary Chairman.
Louisville, June 24.—The Demo
cratic state convention here will be
among the hottest contests in the his
tory of the commonwealth. Many del
egates were here over Sunday. All are
here for the preliminary skirmish in
the district meetings.
The polling of all the Louisville pa
pers show the gold delegates to be in a
majority. The silver men dispute their
estimate and charge that the Louisville
papers claim most of the uninstructed
delegates when those delegates are
equally divined. The lines are drawn
on the endorsement of the administra
tion with Carlisle’s friends leading for
the administration and Blackburn’s
friends against its financial policy.
General Cassius M. Clay is the ad
ministration candidate for governor,
and General P. W. Hardin is the anti
administration candidate. The silver
men will try to force nominations be
fore the adoption of the platform. The
gold men are bitterly opposed to this
kind of business, as they claim that
Hardin is stronger than the free silver
ites. Hardin is a pronounced free coin
age man, as is Senator Biackburn, and
if nominated wants a free silver plank.
The first .test of strength will come
on the selection of a temporary chair
man who has the appointment of two
members at large on all committees.
There are 11 congressional districts. It
is estimated that the gold men will
have six and the silver men five on the
committee on resolutions from the dis
tricts, but if the silver men secure the
temporary organization the platform
makers will stand 7to 6. This is the
fight that is now' being made.
Neither side will announce its candi
dates for temporary chairman, al
though Congressman W. J. Sftone and
A 8. Barry f-tre still most prominen..y
mentioned by their respective sides for
presiding officers.
OPERATORS JUBILANT.
They Have Formed » Combination and
Will Control the Price of Coal.
Denver, June 34—Northern Colora
do coal mine operators are judilant
over the new combination they have
formed which will commence opera-
I'-tions July 1. The new combination
will be known as the Northern Colora
do Coal company, and it has already
signed contracts wi‘h all of the north
ern mines to buy all of the output at a
stated price per ton. and it will have a
complete monopoly of ail the coal pro
duced in noituern Colorado.
All mine operators of the lignite field
are interested in the new company
either as officers or stockholders and
contracts have also been made with the
wholesale dealers who will, after the
first of the month, buy their coal
through the Northern Colorado com
pany, instead of from the mines direct,
as at present. This plan, it is antici
pated, will insure a uniform price for
all lignite coal mining into Denver or
being sold elsewhere in the state.
OFF FOR THE WEST.
Superintendent of Indian Schools Hall
man Ha« Gone on a Visit.
Washington, June 24.—Superintend
ent of Indian schools, W. N. Hallman,
has left here on a tour of visitation of
the institutes of Indian school teachers

mer. There will be three institutes.
The first will be held at Sioux City, la.,
July 1 to 6, and the others at Taoon s
Wash., July 22 to 27, and El Reno, O.
T., Aug. 5 to 10.
The forenoons of each day at all of
those meetings will be devoted to the
discussion of questions of general edu
cation interest, and the afternoons to
section meetings of agents, superin
tendents, teachers, employes of the in
dustrial department and employes of
the school matron service. General
addresses will be delivered in the after
noons.
To Hunt For * Fortune.
Escalon, Mexico, June 24.—Three
Americans, Louis De’smond, James
Crismore and Hal Jeffrey, have fitted
out an expedition and will leave here at
once for the Sierra Madre mountains in
search of the famous lost mine, La
Faunte, which according to tradition
contains a vast amount of ore of fabu
lous richness. The mine was abandon
ed by the Spaniards on account of the
Indians over a century ago, and al
though many attempts have been made
to rediscover it, none have been suc
cessful.
Ornamental Electric Light Posts.
Washington, June 84.— Consul Kirk
at Copenhagen furnishes to the state
department a set of photographs and
drawings of ornamental el eq trie light
posts which are used in Europe. He
says that cities of the Old World where
electricity is used for lighting purposes
are adopting the ornamental posts.
A PECULIAR MALADY.
Physicians J uzxlr.l by a Strange Disease
Prevalent Among Siilor*.
New York, June 24.—Tne surgeons
at the navy hospital in Brooklyn are
puzzled by a peculiar m ilady prevalent
among the sailors who served on the
Chicago during her last cruise.
There are at the present tiifie, accord
ing to the statement of surgeon in chief,
Dr. Edward S. Bogart, about 20 of the
Chicago’s crew are laid up in the navy
hospiial and half a dozen or more are
at the Norfolk hospital where they were
taken from the Amphitrite to which
many of the Chicago’s crew were trans
ferred after the latter vessel went out
of commission.
Although some of the men in Brook
lyn have been under treatment for six
or seven weeks their condition has been
but little changed. The same high
temperature, giddiness and rheumatic
pains m the joints which characterized
the disease when first contracteed are
still experienced by the victims and
little progress seems to have been made
in successfully conteuding with the ill
ness.
Dr. Bogart said that the disease from
which the sailors are suffering is well
known in the countries bordering on
the Mediterranean sea, and that there
is no mystery about it. He admitted,
however, that they had not as yet made
a satisfactory diagnosis of the disease,
and the patients did not improve per
ceptibly.
The sailors take a different view of
the case. They say the doctors are
puzzled, and that they have no name
for the jnalady nor any satisfactory
treatment The certificates which are
sent with each patient to the hospital
are supposed to state the name of the
disease with which he is suffering. In
the case of t_.e Chicago’s men, the dis
ease is put down under various names.
The certificates of some is named as
typhoid fever, but the treatment in
these cases was not that which is us
ually used in typhoid fever cases.
One of t_ie most dangerous condi
tions of the “Chicago fever,” as it is
termed at the navy hospital, is an ex
cessively high temperature. One sailor
said that his temperature had run up
to 104 degrees and that the temperature
of a man on the adjoining cot had
reached 100.
The sunstroke treatment is used in
lowering the temperature. Ice is used
in every conceivable way. A plunge
in the ice bath being the most effective
and expeditious relief.
RUSSIAN MEATS.
Consul Karel Siys Efforts Are Heing Made
to Increase the Bxport.
Washington, June 24.—Some time
ago Consul General Karel, at St. Pe
tersburg, sent to the state department
a report upon the foreign market for
Russian meat and cattle and the efforts
that were being made to increase the
export. He has sent a supplemental
report in which he says that the one
branch of the commission to work out a
project has made the following recom
mendations:
To avoid the bringing of contagious
cattle diseases from the northern Cau
casus into the interior governments it
is ordered that sick cattle shall be kill
ed wherever found. The quarantine
districts to comprise as small a territo
ry as possible.
To suspend the quarantine measures
regarding the transportation of wool,
because it has been established that
wool does not spread contagion.
For the exportation of meat to Eng
land to build special fast boats, which
will carry no other freights that would
taint the meats; these boats must sail
under the Russian flag, and until they
are built an agreement is to be entered
into with the company of this commu
nication to remain its boats for carry
ing these boats.
To establish special agencies for the
sale of Russian meats.
To build at Libau, the principal sea
port for exporting meats, large ice
houses and other arrangemeuts to keep
the meats in good condition.
Cattle to be transported on the Rus
sian railways with speed.
LYN C HINGIN LOUIS IA NA.
One of a Gang of Hou»e Burners Swung
to a Telegraph Pole.
New Orleans, June 24—Gretna, a
small town just across the river, was
the scene of a mysterious lynching dur
ing the night. The victim was John
Frye, a young man 22 years of age.
His dead body was found dangling to a
telegraph pole on the outskirts of the
town early in the morning. Frye be

of the sheriff; James Whitesides, a
nephew of the chief of police, and
Gustave Rapiel.

ly house occupied by negroes. They
defied the police, and did their work
right under the eyes of two policemen.
Later, Rapiel, Strahle and Whitesides

The Government of Hawaii Is Again
Threatened.
EXILES ARE THE PRIME MOVERS
Attempts to Organize an Expe
dition of Fillibusters
AWAY OUT IN SAN FRANCISCO.
They Are Said to be Well Backed and Well
.Equipped With Modern Imple
ments of Warfare.
bab r RANCisoo, June 24.—A morn
ing paper says:
Attempts have been made to organ
ize filibustering expeditions in this city
to go to Honolulu and overthrow the
government. Exiles are said to be the
prime movers in the plot.
Colonel F. L. Coup of this city is said
to have been recently approached by a
man named Stewart an<L asked if he
would go to the islands as master of a
schooner carrying armed men and a
cargo of guns, ammunition and dyna
mise bombs. The terms offered were
$5,000 down and SIO,OOO if he succeeded
in the dangerous work required of him.
He Was also told to find a fit vessel and
report upon the lowest price of it. That
is the story Coup has told.
As the story goes, Stewart said that
friends of the colony in this city hare
put up a big sum of money for filibus
tering schemes, and that an agent has
bought supplies of raw material in the
east. These purchases, unlike those
which went to Hawaii to be used in
last year’s revolt, were of first class
arms and ammunition. The other time
money had been wasted in buying light
carbines and revolvers which were no
match for the Winchesters and Lee
magazine rifles of the government
troops. The present supplies, so Stew
art said, were of dynamite bombs, long
range repeating rifles of 45-100 caliber,
Colt’s army revolvers of the latest pat
tern, and a battery of Hotchkiss and
Maxim guns, with rounds enough for
each p ece to turn the paradise of the
Pacific into the inferno of the western
hemisphere.
This costly freight had been divided
and it was the purpose to send half of
it over the Northern Pacific to Seattle
and the other half on the Santa Fe to
San Diego. From the latter port a sec
ond expedition was to leave in a schoon
er to be commended by an American
named McFarland.
When Charles T. Wilder, the consul
general of Hawaii, was asked what he
knew about the matter, he said he
did not wish to affirm or deny any
thing.
CHINA-JAPAN TREATY.
The ConceHAionA to Japan Have Given to
the World New Avenues of .Trade.
Washington, June 24.—Consul Gen
eral Jernigan, at Shanghai, has sent to
the state department another report
upon the commercial advantages of the
treaty between China and Japan. For
mer treaties contained no favored na
tion danse, but the new treaty con
tains concessions beneficial to and ex
pansive of all Asiatic commerce. The
concessions to Japan have given to the
world new marts and avenues of trade.
Now 28 ports are open and the coun
tries having the "favored nation
clause” in their treaties nave the equal
privileges with Japan. Japan was un
der restrictions as to the interior trade
which have now been removed.
Mr. Jarnigan says the most import
ant provision of the treaty is tha.
which makes it free to carry on manu
facturing industries. This virtually
opens China to new industries, as ma
chinery .may not be imported under
one danse of the treaty. Mr./ Jarnigan
says that it American capitalists and
merchants propose to make permanent
business investments in China they
should study with great diligence the
wants of the Chinese and not venture
too far without accurately estimating
all surroundings. He adds:
“It may be said that China is the
great undeveloped country of the world
and that new developments attended
with profit await well directed enter
prise in this empire.”
Mr. Jernigan oomplains that several
American firms in China and Japan
have foreigners for their head agents
and he thinks it would be better to
have American enterprises carried on
by Americans.
HIS BODY DISINTERRED.
Insurance Agents Not Satisfied as to the
Identity of Jacob Kerngood.
Baltimore, June 24.—The body of
Jacob 8. Kerngood, which was found
floating in the Niagara river at Lewis
ton last week, and which was buried
here Friday, has been disinterred and
sent to the morgue, wheie an autopsy
will probably be made.
It is said that this action is taken at
the instance of an insurance company’s
adjuster, who is not satisfied with the
badly decomposed corpse being that of
Kerngood, notwithstanding the evi
dence to that effect. Relatives here
claim that Kerngood was insured for
only $15,000 and that the last policy
was taken out seven years ago.
