Havana, Dec. 22. Intelligence has been re

twelve other inMurrectionists arrived at Keuvitaa
yesterday as prisoners; also, that a number of
wounded Spanish officers and soldiers bad arrived

rectionary district. There are many rumors of en-
gagements between the troops and the Insurgents.
One report states that Colonel Benogussi has been
defeated in an engagement near llolquin, but the
Diario denies the correctness of the report, and as
serts, on the contrary, that nearly all the Boldiers
lately arrived from Spain have been sent to the
seat of war. The reports that the people of several
towns on the Havana railroad had Joined the insur
rectionists, and that several bands of insurgents
bad been formed, are not conllrmed. , .
Havana, Dec. 22. The i'ait newspaper, and
organ of the Cuba rarty, ceased publication to-day.
The editor says: "We are not permitted to treat
with Buflicieutly ample liberty questions of vital
importance to the country, and the time when wo
thall be able to do so seems far distant. We have
been obliged, when attacked, to renounce defence,
or to give answers which have been mutilated by
the censorship. The censor has always been hostilo
to our principles, although tho same principles to
day prevail throughout the Spanish peninsula. The
pen is useless In our hands, unit under the present
circumstances it would be incompatible with our
dignity to remain in the editorial chair. Wo profer
to guard the most absolute silence rather than at
tempt to continue our existence iu the impotence to
which we have been reduced."

The last meeting of the Board of School Con
trollers was held yesterday afternoon.
President Shippen occupied the chair. It is tho
laet time that he 'will till It, his much regretted
resignation taking effect from January iHt.
A batch of communications was received from
the various school sections.
Tho First section announced certain promotions
In their list ot teachers.

movals. A resolution was adopted appropriating S?2f3 for
deficiency in the appropriation for rental of school
hom es In tho city generally.

sary to avoid the large expenditure of money to
architects in the erection of new school buildings.
On behalf of the Board Mr. Mcliridc, a member
of the body, presented to Mr. Shippen an elaborate
fruit casket, appropriately inscribed.
Mr. Scanton was culled to the chair, and after
addresses of regret by Mr. Wetherill, Greeu' and
Others, the Board adjourned.
Upon retiring, Mr. Shippen said:
I have no language, gentlemen of the Board of
Control, by which 1 may give utterance to the feel
ings which move me at this moment; I have no elo
quence with which I may adorn the words of thanks
that rise from a grateful heart for these manifesta
tions of your kindness, aud for the generous man
ner of expressing your appreciation of my public
services. I shall carry with mo into my retirement
tho most pleasing remembrance of the goodwill
and courtesy which you have always extendeil to
mo, and shall never forget tho tributes you have
this day been pleased to award me. I know well,
gentlemen, that great reforms have been made in
our system of public education, especially during
the past year, and perhaps I have to some extent
been instrumental therein, but tho credit belongs
not to me. Yours was the work and labor in tho
main, and I am willing only to share with you in
due degree whatever of credit may attach to these
reforms.
With some of you I have long been associated
in the cause of public education, with others but a
twelvemonth. 1 cannot leave you without beuring
public testimony to the activity, zeal, promptitude,
good sense and sound judgment which have so
happily distinguished your otticial action. You have
marked tho vear now closing by wise legislation.
You have, with thoughtful consideration, regnlated,
graded and harmonized the course of study, to the
incalculable advantage of our schools. With a deter
mined hand you have seized upon theoverburdened
text book list, and reduced it by judicious discrimi
nation. Y'ou have extended your fostering care and
helping band to the Boys' High School and to the
Girls' formal School, so that each stands pre-eminent.
You have yielded to the long-standing and
well-founded complaints of parents and of medical
Mien of undue pressure upon the minds of children,
and have adopted efficient reformatory measures.
Y'ou have improved the system of examination of
teachers, aud have wisely rearranged the whole sub
ject of teachers' certificates. You haveoverthrown
the old and injurious rules relating to transfers,
so productive of 111 feeling between the several
school sections. You have paid marked at
tention to the erection of the new school edifices
which are now springing up all around us in all
directions, and have given to the city of Philadel
phia school accommodations second to none in.
America; and you have done so with the same
economy which has so well marked your adminis
tration in other expenditures. You have been
most careful of the public funds committed to your
disbursement. Y'ou have watched with a jealous
eye each bill presented, and have rejected such as
were extravagant, unnecessary or unauthorized.
Y'ou have been watchful over school supplies,
and have dealt them out with a liberal and
careful economy. Y'ou havo sustained and en
couraged tbe Teachers' Institute in its laud
able ell'orts to elevate the teachers' profession,
and In a corresponding degree to benefit
all of our schools. Y'ou have spared no ellort
to provide suitable compensation for the able
and zealous corpB of teachers who are toiling in tho
city's servico; and though in this respect you have
thus far failed, for want of Inherent power in your
Board, you have, at least, done your duty In the
effort, and 1 am convinced, from the tone of
popular sentiment, so far as I have been able
to gather it, that the community appreciates the
faithfulness, zeal, intelligence and sound judg
ment exorcised during the past year in educa
tional matters; and that, persevering in this
course, you will always be sustained against every
opposing power. If, however, our children are
deprived of an elementary course of musical
instruction, if we are virtually prohibited from tho
introduction of healthful physical exercise for our
eighty-five thousand scholars, and if the city of
Phi adelphia is prohibited, also, the services of a
superintendent of public schools, and thus stands
Isolated In our group of cities, and in this respect
suiters in comparison, I can bear witness that the
fault rests not upon your inactivity, and yours
should not be the blame. May 1 not further add,
if our fifteen hundred teachers fail to receive thoir
salaries when due, in no degree does the fault rest
upon you. Let it be placed where it belongs. I
need scarcely renew the assurance that my retire
ment is prompted alono by reason of the demands
upon my time "by private business; but for which,
1 could be with you and work with you for years.
Let me again thank you for your kindness to me
on this occasion; lor your uniform courtesy to me
as your president; your ready co-operation with me
at all times, aud for the generous addresses which
you have just tendered mo. I will ever bear them in
grateful memory. May God prosper you, one aixl
all, in your public and private avocations, and may
you each receive the reward of duty well and faith
fully performed.
As my Inst otliclal act I have now to declare this
Board adjourned line, die.

THE BILL MURDER.
rroeoedltifS) of Yesterday Afternoon's)
. . Newnlon.
The following are the proceedings of yrstcr.
day in the Hill murder cave, la addition to
those given in Tub Telegraph:
At three oVlork the Court met. and Mr. Morroll pro
ceeded: Leaving the kitchen 1 went np stairs and Into
the dlnlna room; seeing the cushion saturated with
Mood, and a pool of blood on the Hour at the head of the
sofa, I traced the blood from tho sofa to the window in
the little hack room, and cut the sash discovered a smear
oi Hood; there was no blood on the south and west walls
ot the dining room; there whs a Unlit burning from a
(Imp in thin room; I eoserved between tho headof the
sola and the west wall a rocking chair, and the aslios
ot a segar on the window sill by it; there was a
well lit (Ire In the grnte; I also observed a chair by the
centre table, under tho Kan (Imp; a rlmlr f.u lnn the sola;
and, it my memory nerves me aright, I saw drops of
blood upon it ; 1 went down into the kitchen, where I
found Mr. Twitrhell washing Mrs. Hill's head; Dr.
.ant.iiiKcr had her body placed in such a pnxitionas
would tacilitate respiration if there was life left, and,
alter examining her, said she was dead: Mrs. Twitrhell
was stimilliiu near when he said this; I had no further
conversation with him as to the cause of
the dentil ; but after standing off from the
body and observing Mr. Twitrhell, I asked
who was in the house that night, and was
answered by some one; '-Mr. Twitcheli, Mrs. X witch
ell and the servaut girl;" I said, "one of you two or
both have committed this murder;" no reply was made
hv either of them; when Dr. Zantz.iiiger pronounced
Mrs. Hill dead Twitchell continued bathing hor head,
saying, "will no one do anything" while I was stand
ing oft from her feet some one said, "did yon hear that
groany" Twitchell said, "she groans, she lives;'' I said,
"she didn't groan, she is dead;" I told Mr. Howard
that Twitchell was the guilty man, and to arrest him,
aud ho did so; opto this time Twitchell bad on a short
cost, buttoned on the breast, a gray mixed undershirt,
which had a collar; ho had no white muslin or linen
shirt or collar on; as I was going up the front stairs I
saw one little black dog, which wa barking; I had fre
ineiitly heard barking before this; could hear them
from my house, but not so lunch since tho house had
been closed iu the cool weather; Twitchell 'e manner
that night was rnnfused, doing that for which there was
no necessity, and continuing at It.
Cross-examined He did not reply to me, "My C.rvd ,
Mr. Murrell, why should I have killed her?" hu made
no reply; 1 told Mrs. Twitrhell why they had kll!d hT.
The Commonwealth objected to anything said to Mrs.
Twitchell.
Mr. Mann said he did not desire to conceal his object
iu asking this (mention. He wished to prove that he
charged that the old lady carried a large amount of
money concealed in her bosom, and they killed her to
obtain that, and by this to show that he and the whole,
neighborhood knew she carrii d it there.
Mr. llsgert said that Mr. Mann knew perfectly well
that the witness 'never said such a thing, for he had
heard him examined on habeas corpus; but he was
endeavoring, iu an irregular and improper method, to
get before the jury that which they should not hear.
The Court ruled out any conversation between tho
witness aud Mrs. Twitchell iu the absence of the pri
soner. Witness I never knew or heard of such a thing bo
fore it was communicated to me by, Mrs. Twit holl:-1
have never said that It was well known throughout the
neighborhood that alio had money about her person, fwr
until after the murder I knew nothingahout it; 1 heard
him say, "Oh! my God! My poor mother!"
K. A. Morroll, sworn Corroborated the preceding
witness, his father, up to tho time of going into the
rard, at which point he said: When we bad gone out
nto the yard-where the body had laid, 1 found the
Jioker ' lying within three inches of the edge of tho
dood; we went up stairs and examined the looms, and
wheu we returned to tho kitchen Mr. Twitchell asked
me to go for his father, and I went: it was ahout an
hour betore we got back, aud then Mr. Twitchell had
been arrested .
Dr. Richard Levis, sworn I sealed these packages (a
bundle and box tliat were handed to him); 1 have here
tt ..... ..... - ..1.1... nlt.. fl . I .
c ivni, v,-ni, yaiiii.iuuiin, niiuv, V.UIIHI uilllS, ihidih,
slcove buttons, pieces of blanket , a door knob, pieces of i
011 cioin, iwo pieces 01 carpet, an upper sei ot artincial
teeth, coal scuttle, candlestick . a spot that had been
removed from a hard, non-absorbing surface, the lattor
presented by llr. Khapleigh, and a poker, presented to
nie ior examination ny mo District Attorney.
Wni. Warnock sworn 1 am a detective: Ildentify
these articles of clothing as those taken from Mr.
Twitrhell on the night of the murder; ihecufts, collars
and sleeve buttons were not taken from his perron, bat
found In the second story back room of the house at
Tenth and Pi lie streets; the candlestick came from there;
the door knob came from the dining-room door; this
piece of oil cloth 1 saw the Chief cut from the floor in the
middle of the entry outside the dining-room door; I
gave these articles to r. Levis for examination; there
are also two pieces cut from the blanket on the bed oc
cupied by Mr. and Mrs Twitchell; I observed blood on
the clothing of Mr. Twitchell on the night I took it
from him; the pieces of blanket. doorknob, candlestick,
sbirt culls and collar and oil cloth were not out of my
possession from the first time 1 received tbeui until I
gave them to Dr. Levis.
Dr. Levis recalled I am a physician, and have had
much experience in matters of this kind; f have ex
amined these articles; upou all the articles enumerated
there is undoubted evidence of the presence of blood,
except on the pieces of carpet, where no traces of it can
be found, and except the sleeve-buttons, where it may
have been. Wbere the spots or stains cover a large ex
tent of surface, the Mood is apparent Inordinary visual
inspection, and a low magnifying power shows small
blood clots held iu the meshrs of the texture of the gar -mcnts.
Blood presents no sprinkled spots, large soaked
spots and smeared places.
Processes for tbe detection of the presence of Mood
have been gone over in the cases of all these articles.
First, the solubility of these stains in water; the nega
tive action of ammonia upon all of them; the coagula
tion and discoloration of all of them by boiling, and
others, present the blood corpuscles ot a mammal. Ot
course the blood corpuscles could only be seen by the
microscope. The coalscuttle contains anthracite coal,
fragments of a comb and a few gray human hairs. The
cinder on tbe candlestick shows blood In a diluted
state. By an examination of that cinder I found it to
be printed matter, and with the aid of lenses detected
w ords. There was blood upon the bottom of the candle
stick . This coat has sprinkled spots, soaked places and
smeared spots. There is a marked smeared place on the
right lanjel of the coat; a smeared spot on the right
sleeve cult; sprinkled spots are numerous oik the front
ot the coat. I counted forty-live sprinkles on the outer
part of tho right sleeve.
It is evident that when the coat received the blood it
was not buttoned, for otherw ise he would have been
protected iu parts which havo blood. Tho vest bears a
narked smeared spot and some evidencoof sprinkles.
The shirt is only marked with sprinkled spots; theBoare
upon the bosom; the airertion of these spots is uniformly
upward and outward from right to left; obliquely
upward from right to left. There are faint markings of
blood ou the sleeve bar ds of the shirt. Tliecutl'B present
minute sprinkled spots and also places from which
it is evident that it lias come iu contact with blood, or
blood has been attempted to he wiped off on them; the
ltter for the reason that small clots of blood remain iu
the texture beneath tho surface; the collar presents a
few minute Bpriukliugs of blood also; the number of
blocd spots counted on the shirt was twenty-nine;
the pantaloons present sprinkled spots, and there is
also some soiling of blood in a dilute condition; tha
boots were sprinkled with blood ou their tops, and also
a slight staining along the edges of the soles;there are
two pieces of blanket, both marked with blood staiua
having no distinct form; it is decidedly blood, but has
more the appearance of smear: the oil cloth la well
marked with blood; the spot Is irregular in shape, and
is about thrco iiuarters of an inch in diameter: each
sice of the doorknob was marked with blood; it wag
mots maked w ith blood ou the inner side; I examined
that poker also, and found blood, one gray human hair,
seme fragments of wool and id cotton; the blood ex
tendi at least a third way up the shank of tho poker;
the sprinkled spots might ho made by the jots from a
living vessel, or spotted by blood from a body living or
recentlyc'ead. and also by being 'brown from a bloody
weapen; 1 observed the hlcod spots ou the western wall
of the room of this building, aud found them spriuklod
Spots.
'1 he soaked spot may be made simply from a larger
spot getting upon the surface long enough to saturate
li; this is due io contact wltli clotted blood or friction
of a bloody surface with a body. The smeared spots
upon the ccat and vest could be caused by the carrying
iu of the body. If the body was carried while the blood
was in a flowing condition. 1 think some of the soaked
spids might have been so produced. The sprinkled
spots could not lisvo been caused by the carrying in of
a dead body, for there would have to bo connected with
the carrying in sum- cause for thesuiatteriiig orsprlnk
lingof blood lu a fluid condition. In a living body,
w here an arlery is cut, the propelling force is the ac
tion of tlie heart, w hich of course is wanting in a dead
body. All the tests have been applied iu my examina
tion, and I have no hesitation in saying that these
stains that I have stated are all mammal blood.
Cross-examined 1 think if a man went to carry in
(he body of a woman bleeding freely, and her hair had
l.ceu lying In a pool of blond, the tendency of the blood
upon the hair would be to drip, to gravitate; if tbe bead
wero throw n round it might sprinkle, but that would
not account for the uniformity of tha sprinkling; I do
not think that blood upon the sleeve could have been
produced by coining iu contact with the saturated hair,
lor then there would he more smearing aud less sprink
ling! 1 could not say the blood was recent upou tha
blanket, but judue it was not old from its ready solu
bility. Mr, Warnock recalled and cross-examined ny Mr.
Mann I got this blanket from the bed where Mr. aud
A! rs. Twitrhell slept, and cut these pieces from it.
Dr. Levis I applied to these stains all tbe tests for
human blood, and they answered all.
llr. .aulxluger, sworu I was called on by some one
of the family to see Mrs. Hill on this night, and ex
amined ber until satisfied that she was dead; I supposed
that she bad been dead twenty minutes or a half hour;
before I opened the bosom of her dress it bad beeu
opened to some extent.
Dr. Merritt testified to the matters detailed by the
preceding witness. '
Kdwurd H. Howt n. who accompanied Dr. Zantzlnger
to tills house, testilied to the same effect as that gentle.
'"""in. II. Hare corroborated Mr. Howen.
'Lieutenant Connelly, sworn Home gentleman came
to ten the prisoner at the station-house, and I asked
hfm if be wanted to see counsel about his case, and lie
said not, for he thought there was a fatality about it;
on another occasion I asked him how be accounted for
the blood upon his clothing, and be said by carrying
the corpse in out of the yard; I ssked him bow ha got
it on his shirt, and to that he made no reply.
At half-past seven o'clock tbe Court adjourned until
ten ibis morning.
It is thought that the case of the commonwealth will
be closed to day, and the witnesses for the defence will
be expected to be lu attendance by three o 'clock.
One of the oombatants In a recent Indians
prize fight was knocked down seventy-four
timet, finally bad to be beld np to tbe
