a larger demand. Financial Influences
have not hindered, and rarely has the
opening of a session of congress af
fected business so little. ,
Wheat has advanced about a cent or
the week, though western receipts have
been 7,014,911 bushels against 3.727,788
last year, and Atlantic exports, flour
included, again exceed last year's, 2,-
326,093 against 1.887.737 bushels. Wool
has been slightly strengthened by the
London sales. Manufacturers have
much machinery idle at present, and
orders thus far ara not encouraging.
Iron and Its products are lower. There
Is more pressure to sell Southern pig
here, and some large transactions have
been made by concessions, while the
small band has broken the barbed wire
combination, and the two nail and the

New York, Dec, . Senor Don Arturo

from an American who recently went to
Cuba In tha interest of a New York
newspaper:
'Dear Sir: Thera la no apparent rea
son why I should write you, but I sim
ply want to say that what you told me
in New York, and what at that time
I was unwilling to believe or accept, is
ail very true. After looking over the
ground carefully, from the point of a
newspaper correspondent, I am firmly
convinced that the "war" is a farce, and
that the insurgents are a lot of mulat
toes and half breeds.scurrylng to the
woods In the hope of keeping out of the
way of the troops. While correspond
ents here are making big reports to
their various publications, I can see no
need of sending 'war news' and will
therefore devote a few weeks more to
the study of Cuba for the purpose of
special articles."

Washington, Dec. 6. The Spanish
minister today received the following
ofliclal telegram from General Campos
under Havana date:
"The combined' force of Maximo,
Gomes and Maceo, numbering between
five and' six thousand men, attacked
General . Valdace, ' twelve hundred
strong. The Spanish troops charged
the enemy without hesitation. The
rebels fl!d and were actively pursued
for a dti.tance of over nine miles, in
surgents only returning fire from points
where escape was difficult, attempting
to check the vigorous attack of the
Spanish column and protect tha retreat
of the bulk of the insurgent forces.
They were finally dispersed. This en
gagement furnlBhes ample proof of the
lack of organization and military posi

DEFENSE At HOWEll TRIAL
Twenty Charaotar Witnesses Ara Sworn
to Show That tha Prisoner Was a Good
Woman-Regarding tha Letters.
Wellsboro, Pa., Dec. 6. The court
room waa crowded today with an au
dience largely composed of women to
hear the evidence for the defense In
the Howell poisoning case. This fore
noon about twenty witnesses were
sworn, to prove that Mrs. Howell has
been an amiable, quiet and peaceable
woman during the ten years she has
lived at .Tioga; that , she has been a
kind neighbor, and that in all her act
Hons she had shown that she had the
most genuine affection- for Llbbie
Knapp up to the very hour she died
from poison.
This afternoon Mrs. Charlotte Howell,
the prisoner, and her husband, Chaun
cey Howell, were both on the stand, and
testified In direct contradiction to Dr.
Brown, about the finding of a package
of supposed rat poison In the Howell
door yard. Mrs. Howell denied writ
ing or dropping the letter In the postof
flee which Postmaster McAllister said
he picked up from the floor. Mrs.
Howell explained where she found the
letter she sent to Mr. Waters, and she
denied' writing any of the notes printed
In capitals.
J. H. Putman, a Tioga attorney, lden
tilled a lot of the scurrilous letters
which Miss Knapp had consulted him
about in the fall and winter of 1894,
shu believing at this time that Right-
mire had sent them to her.
. Mrs. Howell made a good appearance
on the stand today. She Is evidently
a shrewd and Intelligent woman, and,
no doubt, will prove a quick witness
when the lawyers for the prosecution
take her In hand for cross-examination.

Fiendish Treatment of a Man and Two
Women-They Are Stripped Naked and
Beaten. ,
Columbia,' S. C, Dec. 8.A dastardly
crime was committed last Monday
night In Colleton county, near the Barn
well and Hampton lines, but was not
generally known In that vicinity until
Wednesday morning, when the bodies of
two of the victims, stripped of their
clothing, were found one being an old
woman. They had been taken out and
beaten to death with new buggy traces.
Liquor seems to have been the Incen
tive for the crime.
Several months ago St Nicholas
church, in Barnwell county, was broken
open and robbed, a Bible and some pul
pit furniture being taken away. A young
negro, named Isom Kearse, who disap
peared from the neighborhood about
that time, was suspected of being the
thief.
Four Barnwell men got Information
that he was at his old mother's home.
near Broxton Ford, and they went over
there on Monday night last. These men
got two others from the neighborhood
to assist them, one being Frank Hlers.
They then went to Isom's house and
found him coming out of the door.
The party took the negro, put a rope
around his neck and tied htm behind
their buggy. Then they drove to the
ferry, two miles away, very rapidly.
The poor negro kept up as long as he
could, and, It Is said, that finally he fell
and several times was dragged along.
On the way two of the party were
sent back to get the negro's aged
mother, "Old Mamma Hannah," and his
young wife, a girl about 17 years of age,
who has a five months' old infant. At
the ferry the party held up and awaited
the arrival of the detail. When the
women arrived, none of the three would.
or could, tell anything about the church
property.
Strlnped Naked and Beaten.
Upon their refusal they were all
three stripped naked and beaten with a
new buggy trace, which. It was said.
was almost worn out. The man was
given about 150 lashes and fell Insensi
ble, Ills body being in a terrible condi
tion' The women were likewise severely
beaten. , The man several times pleaded
with hia tormentors to shoothlm. The
old woman broke away and dashed Into
the woods. The young woman did like
wise, going In a different direction. The
men built a fire near the Insensible ne
gro, threw his old coat over him and
lift
On Wednesday night the body was
found where it was left, cold in death.
It had been there a night and a day.
About 100 yards away In The swamp,
lying In a pool of water about knee
deep, was found the old woman's body,
Cold. and. stiff. She had' 4 fallen :ace
downward with her hands extended.
The young woman managed to find
her way home, and is said to be in a
critical condition. ' She told some of
the negroes about It Tuesday afternoon,
but they seemed to be afraid to men
tion It.
Trial Justice A. C. Walker held an
Inquest yesterday evening, the bodies
.still being where found. The jury, com
posed almost entirely of good white
men from the neighborhood, upon the
testimony of Hlers, who. It develops,
tried to prevent the deed, and who gave
all the details, has' rendered a verdict,
charging directly four prominent men,
one a physician, with the crime.

SALISBURY'S REPTY HERE

Seasoa Is Over.
TO BE GIVEN TO NR. OLNEY
The Answer "Expected Shortly" Will Be
a Matter of General Snrmlse L'atll
Oar Over-Worked President la
Able to Return to Daty Again.
Washington, Dec. . Lord Salisbury's
reply to Secretary Olney's dispatch,
which, according to the president's mes
sage, "called upon the British govern
ment for a definite answer to the ques
tion whether It would or would, not sub
mit the territorial controversy between
Itself and Veneauela In Its entirety to
Impartial arbitration." was received by
Ambassador Pauncefote thla evening.
It will be handed to Secretary Olney to
morrow. At the same time that lue
formal reply waa transmitted to tne
British ambassador here, another copy,
according to diplomatic custom, was
handed to Mr. Bayard, our ambassador
In London, through whom, last July.
Secretary Olney's original note waa
presented to the British foreign office.
Sir Julian Pauncefote being then absent
in England on vacation. This copy was
undoubtedly placed In Mr. Bayard's
possession some days before the presi
dent's message waa presented to con
gress. Shoald Have Been Cabled.
It la Inconceivable that In a matter ot
auch Importance some Inkling ot its
contents should not have been commun
icated by cable to Secretary Olney,
prior to the framing of the president's
message. Bearing in view thla point
the passage in the message In which the
president says that the United States
will not be "satisfied" If one of the
powers concerned Is permitted to draw
an arbitrary line through the territory
in debate and to declare that It will
submit to arbitration only the portion
lying on one side of It," will be re
garded as having much significance.
There is a promise In the president's
message that when the text of the an
swer of the British government ' "ex
pected shortly," shall have been re
ceived, "further communication of the
subject will probably be made to con
gress." Of course this cannot be done while
the president is absent duck shooting,
and the probabilities seem to be that
the correspondence will not see the light
until after the Christmas holidays, un
less It should be made public on the
other side of the Atlantic.

Constantinople, Dec C The fact that
Sai'l Pasha has sought refuge In tne
British embassy has caused a great
sensation In all circles, and Is a general
topic of conversation. It Is Impossible
to foresee the outcome, but' the fact of
a native statesman of the highest rank
seeking an asylum in a foreign embassy
Is recognised everywhere as indicating
an extremely critical situation, which It
Is believed, may become a turning point
In Turkey's history.
When the Sultan heard what his ex

incensed and made . several vain at

declared that nothing would happen to
him, but Said Pasha, with an ever-present
knowledge of the value of Imperial
promises, declined - to leave the safe
