Two thousand insurgents, under Gen

Hew York, Aug. 26.—A special cable
to The Herald from Havana, says that
the report recently published in which
it was stated that General D. Frederico
Ochaudo of the Spanish army in Cuba,
had an encounter with swords with
Captain General Weyler in the palace
in Havana, is untrue.
It was said that while General j
Ochaudo was away from Havana, his |
nephew, a Spanish lieutenant, was sum- j
moned to. the palace, and that General
Weyler accused him of being in corres
pondence with the insurgents. Accord
ing to report the lieutenant was then j
given the choice of a eonrtmartial or j
suicide and that he chose the latter and !
shot himself. This, it was stated, caused
the encounter between General Weyler
and General Ochaudo.
General Ockaudo’s nephew died of
yellow fever, and the general was at
his bedside when death came. Ho was
never accused of disloyalty. General

the crop to any great extent, hut will
merely serve to prevent any further
damage by beat and drouth.
Picking is going on at a faster rate
than for mauy years at this season of
the year and the September receipts will
be enormous. The fields all over Geor
gia are fairly white with the staple.
Mr. R. J. Redding, one pf the best in
formed farmers in the state, reports that
he has given a careful inspection to the
cotton crops from Spalding county as
far north as Fioyd and that in his opin
ion the yield will not be less than 25 per
cent short of what was expected five
weeks ago. Iu some parts of the state
he believes that -the damage has
amounted to 33 per cent. Mr. Redding
is of the opinion that the damage has
been much greater iu other cotton states
than it has in Georgia and his position
at the head of The Georgia agricultural
experiment station places him where he
can get a clearer idea of the situation iu
the south than almost any other man in
Georgia. He asserts that he will not bo
in the least surprised if the damage to
the entire crop will amount to 33 per
cent.
Eleven million bales was the general
estimate of the yield before the hot
wave set in. Now conservative proph
ets declare that 8,000.000 is not too small
an estimate. Frrmers are being ud-
for 10 cents.
It is claimed by those who give this
advice that the demand of the world
calls for 9,000,000 bales every yen.r and
that at best no more than 8,500,000 can
be expected after the disastrous effect of
the recent unfavorable dry and hot
weather.
CRITICIZES THE QUEEN.
Au Irish Paper Says Her M:-j«-ty Should
Kook Alter House AH;t:rs.
Dublin, Aug. 23. — The Kilkenny
Journal, commenting on the release of
John Daly, the Iiish political prisoner,
from Portland prison, says:
‘•The red Indians’ torture of captives
is humane when compared with the tor
ture inflicted on Daly iu England.”
Continuing, the periodical mentioned
refers to the allusion in the queen’s
speech tc the outrages iu Armenia, and
adds:
“The ■ queen can find nearer home
more vent for her hypocritical tears
than with the Kurds,” and asks:
“Where is the queen’s clemency?”
“Daly was released a few months be
fore death would have released hiru, and
three others have been driven mad by
tortures in penal servitude, compared
with which Siberian exile is drawing-
room imprisonment.”

Big Filibustering lixpeslliiou Landed.
Philadelphia, Aug. 26.—According
to two cablegrams received in this city,
the steamer Laurada, which sailed from
this port for Cuba on Aug. 6, lauded
one of the most formidable filibustering
expeditions yet shipped to Cuba and
landed at Port Antonie, Jamaica. The
first news of the arrival of the Laurada
was a cablegram received from Port An
tonio by Captain John D. Hart, an
nouncing the arrival of the steamer at
that port and also the bursting of three
boiler tubes.
Later a cinh or dispatch was received
by the leader of the Cuban junta in this
cit y stating that the Laurada had landed
her immense cargo on the southern
coast of Cuba in Santa Clara province.
The cipher also told That the Cubans
aboard tlie steamship had landed with
the cargo. The cargo of the filibuster
ing steamer cons sted of 53,000 pounds
of dynamite, in 6-inch sticks; 11 field
gunsi four cannon and seven Gatling
guns, a quantity of ammunition and
nearly 200 men.
A Dig Xc-iv York Drygoods firm Fails.
New Yore, Aug. 62 —The drygoods
firm of Hilton, Hughes & Co. has
made an assignment to G. M. Wright.
Tlie assignment is without profereir es.
Eiiliu Root is attorney for the assignee.
Among the banks iu Wall street the
failure is regarded as due to a gradual
decline in business. The firm’s credit
for the last live years has been badly
impaired, and it is understood th t very
little, if any, of the firm’s single name
paper is out,. The firm has been taking
stock for several weeks past and was re
cently understood to have received about
$750,000, which has been used in reduc

Italian Government Will Probably With
draw Its Drazilian Legation.
Washington, Aug. 26.—The recent
political conflicts in San Caulo, Brazil,
between the Italians and Brazilians, as
a result of which there are rumors
that the Italian legation to Brazil will
he withdrawn, may have some connec
tion, its believed here, with the claims
which the Italian government has
against Brazil for damages inflicted on
its subjects iu the late civil war iu that
country.
There are a number of these claims
and au arrangement was Arrived at by
which it was thought they would be ad
justed. A protocol was signed contain
ing a c'ause providing that claims would
be referred to the president of the
United States for decision.
The protocol was snbmitted to the
Brazilian congress for its ratification,
but the body refused to agree to it and
it may be that the Italian government
has taken umbrage at this action, fol
lowing close on the political conflicts,
and will withdraw its legation.

the government’s object in issuing the
blue book, containing exclusively Dr.
Schomburgk’s reports and letters rela
tive to the boundary mission stations
from 1841 to IS 14, is for the purpose of
refuting the Venezuelan claims relative
to the alteration and expensiou of the

Sensational Scene In tho Mulberry Street
Methodist Church, at Macou—During tlie
Progress of a Storm at Columbus »
Young Lady Is Knocked Down by Light
ning and Seriously Injured.
Macon’, Ang. 24 —Rev. Dr. Alonzo
Monk, tho pastor of the Mulberry Street
Methodist church, and Reporter Tilden
Adamson of the Macon Telegraph, were
the principals in a sensational scene at
the church Sunday night. During the
services Dr. Monk said ho thought it
justice to himself and to his church he
should make a statement relative to the
sermon he preached on Aug. 16 against
the saloons of Macon and the happen
ings that have followed this sermon.
In the sermon last Sunday night, Dr.
Monk was specially severe on the vau
deville that runs in connection with
Pntzell’s saloon, and made strictures
against the moral character of the per
formers.
On Monday the mayor ordered the
vaudeville closed, based on the denunci
ation of Dr. Monk. On tho following
night, however, the mayor revoked his
order and allowed the vaudeville to open
on the representation of the actors anil
actresses that they were persons of good
character and had been unjustly as
sailed by Dr. Monk.
The Telegraph published an account
of Dr. Monk’s sermon, and also pub
lished cards from several of the vaude
ville performers.
" Dr. Monk said he thought The Tele
graph had done him *■ great injustice
and had allowed its columns to be used
by persons of questionable character to
attack him. It is said that the doctor
was quite emphatic in his criticism on
The Telegraph. Reporter Adamson
says that Dr. Monk, in the course of his
remarks, made use of the following ex
pression: “A low, designing person”
and employed it in such connection that
Adamson thought that the doctor re
ferred to him.
As soon as the services ivere ended
and the congregation was leaving the
church, young Adamson went to Dr.
Monk iu the pulpit and demanded, so it
is said, au explanation of Dr. Monk’s
remarks. Adamson asked Dr. Monk if
he referred to him as “a low, designing
person.” Dr. Monk replied that he did
not, and if Adamson so thought he was
laboring under a misapprehension. Ad
amson was satisfied and started to de
scend the steps of the pulpit when Dr.
Monk addressed him about to this effect:
“ ifouug man, I understand that you
said that I would hold you to personal
account and responsibility if ever you
mentioned my name in- The Telegraph
again?”
Adamson replied that Dr. Monk had
so told him. Dr. Monk denied that he
had said any such tbiug.
At this point the statements of what
then passed between Adamson and Dr.
Monk differ. Dr. Monk says that Adam]
son called him a liar. Adamson says
that he teld Dr. Monk that he must not
say that he—Adamson—told a lie.
It is said that when the “lie” was
passed, the two men clinched. Several
entlemeu present went to the rescue
and Dr. Monk told them to put Adam
son out of the pulpit and out of church,
and in the scuffle several blows, it is
said, were passed, young Adamson get
ting his face bruised.

Spoons t ree to All,
I read in the Christian Standard
that Miss A. M. Fritz, Station A,
St Louis, Mo., would give an ele
gant plated hook spoon to anyone
sending her ten 2 : cent stamps. I
sent for one and found it so useful
that I showed it to my friends, and
made $13 in two hours, taking or
ders for the spoon. The hook spoon
is a household necessity. It cannot
slip into the dish cr cooking vessel,
being held in place by a hook on
the back. The spoon is something
housekeepers have needed ever
since spoons were first invented.
Any one can get a sample spoon by
sending ten 2-cent stamps to Miss
Fritz. This is a splendid way to
make money around home.
