Harrlsburg, Pa., May 28. Those who
favor a cut of W.000,000 In the school
pproprlaitlon for the next two years,
re working a new scheme to defewt
the opposition of the farmer. All the
appropriation bills are . to be rushed
through the house this week and sent
over to the senate. The senntors are
to hold lihera as a club over the house
ntll It agrees to the reduction. Un
fortunately for the projectors of the
plan, the grangers have dropped on
o the trick and will battle to a nnisn
for the million dollars.
We nre not going to be cheated out
of a cent to the schools If not a cop
per Is given to any oliher purpose, said
Representative Si anor, secretary ox tno
AcrlcuHure combine," yesieruay.
One hundred end twenty-two mem
bers of the house have signed a petl-
;on to Governor Hastings, asking him
to save the money to the schools and
every one of these representatives will
stand ito their agreement. The grangers
of the house held a meeting a few days
ago and agreed to tight the matter to
the last ditch. We nave our pians nu
made. Mr. Merrick will lead the at
tack. We are In favor of stuylng here
until we win our light.
Mr. Seanor Intimated that many ot
the appropriations asked for by the
charitable Institutions of the state
ould be knocked omt by the grangers,
KtiKiklnir for himself, he said he was
opposed to the appropriation or $200,
000 to the Staite college and a like
amount to the University of Pennsyl
vania for dormitories. He Is also op-
posed to an appropriation for the ex
nenses of the commission from Penn
sylvania to the Cotton States exposi
tion at Atlanta next fall.
The grangers are prepared to maKe a
fbrht aga nst the bill ceaung an ap

WAR SITUATION IN CUBA
Martl's Death Is Still a Matter of
Dispute.
WAR CORRESPONDENT KILLED
Tho Spanish Government Finds tho Insur
gents Much Strongor Than Antici
pated Tho American War Corre
spondent Not Popular.
Havana, May 22. The government
claims to have absolute proof of the
death of Marti, but Cubans here de
clared that the body must be viewed by
others than Spanish army officers be
fore his Identity Is established.
The American newspaper correspond
ent who was reported killed In the Dos
Rlos fight Is probably a young man
named Woodward, who arrived ot San
tiago about a month ago. He' repre
sented the New York Morning Journal,
and one or two other papers. He went
Into tho Interior on 'May 6 to Join Ma-
ceo, Gomez and Marti, woodward mis
not been heard from since and in all
probability met his death with Marti.
Aside from the killing of Marti and the
reversion nt Dos Rlos, Spain has ac
complished very little toward putting
down the rebellion with force of arms,
and Martinez Campos has now decid
ed to try diplomacy ns well. When he
arrived In Cuba about nix weeks ago,
he proclaimed war, vigorous, relent less
war. No promlfe of righting wrongs
was made, no hope of Insllliltlng re
forms was held out. He has found the
Insurrection far more iiorlous than he
at first supposed, and he has now de
rided to Institute reforms at an early
day, with the hope of disarming the In
surgents of the claim, which wins them
both sympathy and support, that Spain
refuses all reforms.
Will light for Reforms.
The effect will undoubtedly be marked
nn Cubans who have been teetering on
the fence for two months they will
fall on the government side; but thowe
who are already In arms at the eastern
end of the Island, will not stop fighting
for the trifling reforms that are prom
ised. They say that If It Is only by
fighting that they can wring reforms
from Spain, they will keep up the strife
until they wrest Independence riom ner.
Even If complete autonomy were offered
now. It Is a question whether tne men
n arms would stop fighting. The loss
of Marti Is a serious blow to them, but
Is Intensifies their hatred of the hpan-
nrds. and they will fight to avenge
Martl's death. In this city many Cu
bans say they will go out If the re
bellion comes this way. At present
they do nothing but talk. At the east
ern end of the Island matters are dif
ferent. The entire province of Santi
ago, with the exception of the fortified
towns Is In arms. Insurgents who
numbered 3.000 when Campos landed,
now number 8,000. They are constantly
gaining recruits.
Martinez Camnos has no use for the
American correspondent. He has muz
zled the Spanish and Cuban press and
would muzzle that of the United States
If ho could. His recent order to shoot
down any correspondent who crosses
to the insurgents' line and attempts to
return was aimed at the American cor
respondents. The censorship of tele
graphs and cables has not prevented
them from sending the truth to tho
United States as to the progress of the
insurrection, and the American papers
have been brought here by the thous
and and read, with great interest In the
homes and clubs of Cubans.
But as the Spanish army operates
without establishing sentinel lines, and
even the Insurgents scouts pass and re
pass without difficulty the correspond
ents will probably vlnlt the Interior
whenever occasion requires it.
KENTUCKY VENGEANCE.
Gcorgo 1). Montgomery Kills Archhold
Kllcy.
Versailles, Ky., May 26. At noon to
day the steps of Troy Presbyterian
church, seven miles south of here, were
converted In a dueling ground, ueorge
B. Montgomery killing his brother-in-law,
Archibald Riley, amd being himself
mortally wounded by Riley. The mur
der was the culmination of a Sensation
that unset high society In the Blue
Grass section three years ago, when It
Is said Riley seduced Montgomery's
sister and fled to Mississippi. He was
brought back, and at Ithe point, of a pis
tol forced to marry tho girl. He im
mediately deserted her and did not re
turn to these parts until recently. Both
men attended church today. There
was a largo congregation present,
Neither man smw the other till after
the services, when they met face to
face on, the steps. Both began firing
at omce and did not stop till one was
dead and the other dying.
Tho congregation became panic
stricken at once, and the wildest con
fusion resulted. Scores of ladles fainted
and several were badly trampled In the
stampede. The entire thing was done
so auickly that no one thought of Inter
fering. Both men were astoundlngly
cool and deliberate. Neither Is thought
to have said a word before firing, nor
to have made the slightest attempt
to shield himself from the other s bul
lets. After firing tho last shot, Montgrom-
ery turned to the bystanders and said
"Gentlemen, I hated to do this; but was
compelled to. My conscience Is now
easy.
Riley was 30 years of age. Mont
gomery Is 2D, and unmarried. It Is
claimed that Riley had threatened
Montgomery's life, and both men had
been carrying pistols for each other.

SIISIC AT LA1BEL HILL
New Park Is Opcnod with Delightful Con
certs by Gilmore's llnnd.
The opening of Laurel Hill park on
Saturday afternoon was an occasion of
much enjoyment to music-lovers and
others who were delighted at the ar
rangement of Scranton's new pleasure
resort, which- Is under manage
ment of J. H. Lalne.
A better attraction probably could
not have been secured for the opening
days of the imrl: than Gilmore's cele
brated band, which gave four grand
concerts In the Pavilion theater. The
hnnil which has been reorganized un
der direction of the well-known violon
cello virtuoso and composer, Victor
Herbert, was in fine condition for the
concerts Saturday afternoon and even
ing and the secred concerts yesieruay,
and rendered the various programmes
with the old-time finish that made the
band celebrated years ago.
Notwithstanding th threatening
weather a large audience filled the pa
vilion .theater and gathered upon the
lawns hurroundlng at each entertain
ment and expressed appreciation of the
musical numbers by nearly appiauw,
In addition to the concerted num
bers solos were rendered by Conductor
Herbert, who Is well known to Scran
ton musical people as a ceuoisi; mme.
i.i v-ioln iwinrnno: Addis J. Gery,
auto-harp soloist, and Herbert and Er
nest Clarke, cornet and trombone solo-
Tk nmp-r-imme at each concert em
braced selections from the classic to
popular nirB which were given with a
spirit that left nothing to be desired.
Enjoyable numbers on the list were
compositions of Victor Herbert, Includ
ing nir-a rrnm nis new comiu
Prince Anantns," which is now being
norfnrmoil hv the Tlostonlans.
Encores were frequent and the spirit
nt rrnml nntlirf flPPtTlPd tO PreVall.
The arrangements for the comfort of
vlxltnrs at the nark reflect great creau
upon Manager Lalne. Polite attenaants
are found in every department, and a
force of watchful police are constantly
nn the around night and day. Perfect
nrrW I a maintained at all times.
Judging from the success or tne un-
more band concerts, Laurel Hill parK
seems destined to be the popular resort
for Scrantonlans during the pleasant
afternoons and evenings of the coming
summer.
