(’I ISA'S LAST HOPE
IS SHATTERED BY Til K CAPTURE
OF SI Kit MILITARY LEADERS.
General Macro Reported to Have Es¬
caped, However.
Advices from Havana state that Ma
ceo i« captured and Cuba’s last hope is
gone Cromfeet has been killed
Without these two leaders all is chaos
in icMirgeut ranks, and liberty’s most
ardent friends admit that the Cuban
cans© is lost.
The Spanish authorities are posting
bulletins, and the loyalists in Havana
are celebrating the ending of the rev¬
olution. Without Crombefc and Maceo
there can be no real war.
On Saturday the Cuban party and
tho Spanish soldiers met at Palmarito,
The rebel fore oh numbered two thou¬
sand men, while that of tho Spaniards
tvas three thousand. A desperate bat¬
tle followed, and, according to official
reports, lasted two hours. At the end
of that time the rebels retreated, were
pursued by captured. the Spanish troops and
Maceo was His secretary
was also taken and all the personal
and private papers of General Maceo
were con fiscated.
Tho battle was a hard fought one,
and tho insurgents battled desperately
against odds. The Spanish soldiers
resisted with remarkable courage tho
onslaught of the rebels. In the battle,
a hand-to-hand conflict, a number of
Cuban officers were killed.
The News In Washington.
'Washington Official intelligence Monday received at
morning from
Havana confirms the news relative to
the battle of tho 10th instant between
the Spanish troops and Cuban itisur
ge uts at Palmarito. The United States
Press dispatch states that Thomas
Hninz, General Maceo’s secretary, was
wounded. The official dispatch from
Havana says also that he surrendered.
It. is also reported that out of the
twenty-four men who landed with
Maceo some days ago eleven were
killed and wounded, but no mention is
made of tins capture of Maceo,
A newspaper telegram from Havana
reports that Maceo was captured, and
that in the Palmarito battle the insur¬
gent forces numbered 2,000 and the
Spanish 3,000, A dispatch received
from Captain General Callejo merely
mentions the killing and wounding of
eleven of Macao’s followers, while
nothing is said of any loss to the
Spanish troops, nor that any consider¬
able force was engaged. On the con¬
trary, there are strong grounds for the
statement that they could not have ex¬
ceeded a few hundred at the utmost.
The Jlcraki'* Santiago de Cuba dis¬
patch gays The battle in which tho
Maceo expedition was defeated at Pal
inarito last week was a one-sided af¬
fair, as the insurgents were greatly
outnumbered, Maceo cut hie way
through and tied to join Perez, The
Spaniards captured bin mule, rifle, re¬
volver, saddlebags and silk hammock
ami some important correspondence,
One box of ammunition was seized and
Urombet'rt body was burned at Full*
cini, after an official identitiaation.”

FREE COINAGE RESOLUTION
Introduced in the Tennessee Legisla¬
ture.
The following resolution, which lies
over, xvns Introduced in the Tennessee
legislature Wednesday:
“Whereas, The financial distress
now prevailing throughout the union
at a time when there is no lack of in¬
dustry or enterprise, emphasizes the
necessity for financial legislation at
our nation’s capital; and,
“Whereas, It is against tho material
interests oi the people of Tennessee to
perpetuate a financial policy that con
tin tics to depreciate property and ap
predate money and promises to pay;
therefore, be it ",
“Resolved, By the senate and house
of representatives of the forty-ninth
general assembly of the state of Ten
neaseo, that the congress of the United
Stales of America be, and arc hereby
requested, to enact such legislation os
will provide for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver and gold at the ratio
of 16 to 1.”
Official cable advices received at
Washington ^ from the Colombian gov¬
ernment announce the complete sub¬
jection of the rebellion and the
toraiioa of a normal condition of
peace in all of the departments of the
confederation. Sporadic cases of
guerilla attacks in the mountainous
districts are still to be expected and
statements of these may reach the
coast, in a highly exaggerated condi¬
tion, leading to reports of engage¬
ments, or even battles, bat the tele¬
graph lines are again in operation and
cominereo anti business' have been re¬
sumed throughout the country.
NEW ENRStY OF COTTON.
A Destructive Rest Brought Over
from Mexico.
Tho department of agriculture at
Washington has just issued a circular
to cotton planters relative to a new
and vary destructive insect that has
been brought across the Rio Grande
froth Mexico into the cotton belt of
Texas and which, during 1894,
ously injured the cotton crop over a
territory miles. of about five thousand square
It punctures the bolls with its
beak and lays eggs in the hole thus
made. The grubs hatch and ruin both
tho seed and fiber, thus destroying
simultaneously both products of the
cotton plant,
Tho Texas legislature, at the sug¬
gestion of the agricultural department,
is discussing the question of quaran¬
tining the cotton from the infected
section and the enforcement of tho
remedial work by act of law. The de¬
partment of agriculture ha« appointed
H skillful agent, who is located at
the Brownsville, life, Tex,, and who will study
history and habits of the new
pest and experiment extensively with
remedies during the coming season
under the direction of Mr. L. O,
Howard, chief entomologist of the de¬
partment, luasmueh as the insect is
new to American cotton planters, there
is much yet to be learned about its
habits before practical remedies can
be suggested. This insect is now iu
Texas and threatens to spread to other
cotton states, and the entire south is,
therefore, interested in the problem
now confronting the Texas legislature.

Secretary Herbert had decided to
award the construction of two of the
torpedo boats to the Columbian iron
works of Baltimore and one of them
to the "Union iron works of San Fran
cisco, but subsequently he changed his
mind and awarded the contract for
building all three of the sea going
torpedo boats to the Columbian iron
works of Baltimore, Md., awarding
tfono to San Francisco, as was at first
intended. The boats will bo of about
138 tons displacement and will have a
speed of about twenty-four knots. The
vessels, exclusive of armor, will cost
$97,500 apiece. The Columbian iron
works were the lowest bidden
Annulled the Contract
Secretary Herbert hasannnulled the
contract with Johg Gillies, of Brook¬
lyn, for the New York nary yard dry
dock and advertised for proposals to
complete the work. The 189$, contract was
made November 17th, the dock
to he delivered to the government in
; thirty-two months. The price to bo
1 ! paid was $462,619 and up to date pay
ments to the amount of about $165,000
have been made to Gillies. It has
been a foregone conclusion for some
time that the contract would never be
completed and several days ago the
department permitted other builders
to take measurements with a view to
estimating on the remaining work.
General Williams Not Wanted.
It is positively asserted that if Con¬
sul General Williams returns to Ha¬
vana after his proposed visit to the
United States shall have ended, he will
be refused his exequatur. General
Campos, the governor general of Cuba,
will not, it is asserted, receive him iu
an official capacity, and this action
will be indorsed by the Madrid gov¬
ernment. While the Canovas ministry
in Spain has not demanded Consul
General Williams’ recall, the fact is
known to them that such a request was
twice made by the previous ministry
within thirty days before their disso¬
lution. An unwillingness on the part
of the present cabinet to strain the re¬
lations between the two countries is
said to be the only reason why a simi¬
lar request has not been made by them.
Should Mr. Williams leave the coun¬
try temporarily, however, advantage
will be taken of that fact to keep him
out by declining to permit his return

The Income Tax Ulizzie.
The treasury officials, in the ab¬
sence of the full text of the supreme
court decision in the income law, are
still groping in the dark as to its exact
meaning, and have, therefore, been
unable to send out supplemental in¬
structions to collectors as to how the
act, that still remains, shall be carried
out Collectors will have to be
guided until they receive official in¬
structions by their own best judg
men t. Many telegraphic inquiries,both
from internal revenue officials and pri¬
vate parties, are being received at the
treasury, and are being answered as
well as they can be with the existing
light. It is admitted on all hands, as
the matter is more closely studied,
that much confusion must necessarily
arise from the elimination of mental
receipts from the returns, as this ex¬
ception will affect cognate questions.
Commissioner Miller is devoting his
entire time to straightening out tho
tangle and hopes to have comprehen¬
sive supplemental instructions ready
for issuance at the earliest moment
possible.

Silver is the measure of value, to a
great extent, in both countries. Japan
bAs not been called upon to negotiate
any European loan payable in gold for
the prosecution of the war. There¬
fore, she has experienced no especial
<*t gold. China, on the other
land hand, being heavily indebted to Hng
and other within European nations, has
exported .^titles the lost few years large
of gold and the national
.i.Lalde treasury does not now contain anv con
amount of Uiis metal. More
over ’ silver is the only medium of ex

being the case, it would be much easier
to pav in tho indemnity in that metal

each ingot containing silver to the
amount of from 20 to 50 taels. Be

WILDE ON TRIAL.
The .Esthete and His Accomplice In
the Dock Together.
Osenr Wilde and Alfred Taylor were
arraigned for examination in the Bow
street police court at London Thurs¬
day morning. Wilde was defended
by commoner Clarke, who announced
that he would not cross-examine any
of the witnesses until they testified at
the trial of the charges against Wilde.
Counsel for Alfred Taylor examined
tho young man Parker, who admitted
that he had been guilty of heinous of¬
fenses with many persons besides
Wilde. Parkin- also admitted that he
had recovered £20 from persons whose
pursuit it was to extort money from
gentlemen.
A young man named Atkins was
called to the witness stand. In 1802,
he said, Wilde had asked him to go to
Baris with him as his secretary. He
went to Paris with Wilde and re¬
mained there a few days. They dined
together in 8} den did stylo. Bv Wilde’s
order he wore his hair curled. He de¬
nied that any misconduct had occurred
between them. Wilde had given him
a silver cigarette case, costing £3 and
asked him not to. mention the visit to
Paris.
!u reply to a question by the mag¬
istrate, Atkins said he hail acted as
Wikle's secretary for about half an
hour when he was engaged in writing
some letters about Wilde’s play. “A
Woman of No Importance.”
A witness mmed fiberVy related the
circumstances of his dining with Wilde
in 1892, Afterwards they had some
wine together in a private room, when
Wilde kissed kirn and flattered him,
calling him, a “clever fellow” and the
like He remained with Wikk
throughout that night. Subsequently
he had written to Wilde asking him to
terminate their friendship. It is re¬

ANOTHER TAX TEST.
A CHICAGO JUDGE GRANTS AN
INJUNCTION
To u Corporation Firm from faying
on Their Income.
In the United States court at Chica¬
go, Monday morning, Judge Showal
ter enjoined Siegel, Cooper & Co.
from making any returns to the inter
nal revenue collector under the pro- i
Visions of - the income tax law. The
restraining order was granted on a bill
filed by Gereon Siegel, one of the New
York stockholders in the defendant
corporation. The bill attacks the law,
and under the order granted by Judge
Showalter the government will he
compelled to take part in the proceed
ings to defend the operation of the
new law.
When the attorney f ir Siegel pre
seated the bill to Judge Show alter, the
latter asked for an explanation of the
application. “This is the last day
for tho returns of the income tax
to the collector of internal rev¬
enue,” said the attorney, “My
client protests against his firm
making any payment of the income
tax or any report. He maintains that
the bill in its entirety is unconstitu¬
tional. All we ask is for an order re
straining the firm of Siegel, Cooper &
Go. from making its returns today. If
not granted the firm would be liable
to an imposition of $1,000 fine for
failing to make the return."
Judge Showalter took the applica¬
tion, and after reading it, made the
restraining order. A bond of $4,000
was at once filed. By the issuance of
the order of the court the firm escapes
the payment of the fine, should thesu
prem© court, to which th© question
will be carried, decide against the
complainant.
Mr. Siegel, in Lis bill, raises all of
the questions that are involved in tho
income tax dispute, including those
decided by the supreme court last
week
QUARLES AND BUTLER GUILTY
The Hanging Branch of tho Worley
Case Ended,
After two hours of deliberation the
jury in the case of the two alleged
whitecappers, John Quarles anti Have
Butler, iu the United States court at
Atlanta, returned a verdict of guilty
Saturday afternoon Bv reason of
that verdict the defendants will be re¬
quired to serve for a term of years ia
the Ohio penitentiary.
Freeman, The verdict was 'signed bv E. S.
of Oartersville. Ga., as for ■
man. and Simply read ; “We. the jury.
find the defendants, John Quarles,
Sr., and David Butter, guilty.”
this ends one of the moat important
cbsi-k that h-is ever been tried in flu*
southern district of Georgia. It deals
with a class of violators that makes it
one of the most peculiar trials on rec¬
ord. In the same bill of indictment
the following parties are accused of
conspiracy to hang Dickson'. Worley; James
Me Entire. J. A. Merrill
Woods, Hardy Phipps, Frank Gilbert,
James MeOntebeotu Bob Anderson,
Harris Bramlett, T. .M, Wright, Brad
ley Thornton, Huse Nelson, Tobe
Smith, George " Hartsell and several
others.
The question now arises, what be
comes of them? In all likelihood, if
a new trial is not granted by Judge
Newman, they will enter pleas of
guilty.
It is definitely stated that tbe kill
mg brunch of the Worley ease will not
stated be taken up at present." as has been
heretofore. This means
all the witnesses must return home
and appear again when summoned. !
The cases will go to the United States
supreme court, and it is understood j
that if there is an effort- made to toko
up the killing branch by the United
States court, write of habeas corpus
will be taken out. The same demur
rers filed in the first branch will be ;
filed in the branch.
la connection with the Worley ease,
old man Ben Hemphill, a father-in
law of one of the defendants, will he
indicted and prosecuted for perjury.
He stated on the stand that he made
one statement to District Attorney
James and that ho swore to a lie on
the stand.

No credence is "attached to the t ■
port from Shanghai, whieft came by
way of London, that the t hii..-<- em¬
peror has.-issued a proclamation as*
serting his inability .to. longer .govern
the empire, In well Informed circles
the report is ridiculed as being- too
absurd to dignify with a.denial. It is
inserted in the first place that the
Chinese emperor could, have no pur¬
pose in abdicating, and m the hecohd
place hie mother, the dowager empress,
would not permi t him to retire if be J ■ -
sired. The proclamation is believed
here to he tho work of the secret soci¬
eties in the empire. These societu*-.-,
it is said, are. hostile io the govern¬
ment,, their aims ami purposes- tiie beiug
not' diteimilM’'to those of nihilists
in Itnssift, If this -proclamation be
their work, it was probably written
for the purpose of adding to tie.; .con¬
fusion in the empire and to tin cin
barra&ament of the reigning pow ■ r
The whole story, however, regard- d
as another Shanghai i ibricatMii,
