CHICKEN OWNERS HAPPY. William .TelVersou In Custody Charged With Italdlng- Coops. Siuco last sprint' residents of West Line street liaTo been driven almost to despera tion in their efforts to catch thieves who titno and again successfully raided their chicken coops, hut until yestorday morning 110 capture could lo made, although the residents took turns at night watching and almost every liouso on the north side of the street, from Main atreot to tho east end, was practically an arsenal. Sorao time ago, Superin tendent Thomas Balrd, of tho Kchley Bun colliery, who is ono of tho sufferers, was awakened from his slumbers by tho vocifer ous barking of his watch dog, but the Roscuo company christened its chemical ongino that night and Balrd concluded that his dog had been disturbed by somo of tho flrcmon who woro on the way home, so tho Superintendent rollsd over and was soon wrapped in tho arms of Storpbcus again. The next morning tho chicken coop connected with tho homestead was minus fourteen pullets. Sir. Balrd apologized to the watch dog for not respecting his kindly Rtid faithful service of tho night boforo and a boom In the firearms business followed. A few nights later tho dog gavo another alarm, This time Mr. Balrd went to a window at tho rear of his sleeping apartments, raised tho lower sash and rested tho muzzle of a shot gun on the window sill. lie could just make out the prowling form of a man about the chicken coop and fired iu that direction. The shot was answered by dcrivsivo laughter, but there wero no chickens missing tho next morning. Tho Balrd homestead as judiciously boycotted after that, but other chicken owners of tho row suffered losses from time to time, among them tho Fox, Brennan, Bboads and Potts families. Bren nan lost in tho aggregato 30 chickens and Henry Bhoads lost sixteen in ono night. At about one o'clock yesterday morning Harry Kcipcr, who lives next door to tho Balrd residence, was aroused from his slumbers. Ho had spent tho best part of tho preceding night and Sunday night iu watch ing and any noiso about tho vicinity broke his slumber. Ho got out of bed and heard two or three men talking in an undertone on Lino street. Ono of the men want up tho alley. Keipor shoulderod a gun and wont down to the yard, huts- after an extended search, failed to find what he xpocted and returned to his bed, concluding that the men he had heard were some home ward stragglers. Soon after ho heard what he supposed was a rattling of chains about two or three doors east of his honso. IIo again got out of bad and went outside with his gun. While he was rambling about a shot was fired from a neighbor's house in his direction. Keiper shouted to tho neighbor, who stopped tho firing. By this time the neighborhood was aroused and a general searching of tho neighborhood nas begun. Crouched as close to the feuco and ground as he could got a man named William Jefferson was found, IIo was, or pretended to be, fast asleep. No shouting or jostling could arouse him. "Shall I shoot him ?" asked ono of tho yigllanco committee. This had the effect of bringing Jefferson to his feet. IIo was apparently very much intoxicated, but recognized thoso about him. lie could givo no account of himself. Last night Jefferson was arraigned before Justice Cardin. Messrs. Balrd, Keiper and Bhoads appeared and testified against him. Jefferson said he knew nothing about any chickens and could not account for his pre sence iu Bhoads' yard. Tho last ho romeui bered was leaving a saloon on South Main street, whero free beer was served during tho previous night to celebrate an "opening." Ho produced ono of tho bartenders of tho occasion to provo that hu had partaken freely of the beverago that flowed without cost to those wko would partake of it. Justice Cardin said Judge Pershing had ruled many times that intoxication could not he taken as a plea and held Jefferson for trial iu $200 bail, which was furnished. No little surprise was occasioned by Jeffer son's arrest, as ho is a resident of tho vicinity Where the depredations were committed and has always been among the most emphatic amoug them in condemning evil doings. Ho lives at tho corner nf Line and Bowers streets, and almost opposite to the houses where tho thefts were committed, IIo could not tell who was with him yesterday morn ing before ho was caught, but at least two of the parties aro known and other arrests will probably follow.

According to surface indications, Captain Oonoral Woylor will soon bo rollovod of his commnnd in Cuba. Tho discontent with Weylor is noticeable even lu tho government organs. Thoy say that Instead of going to Havana to receive an utimorltod ovation ho ought to hnvo coutluuod the military operations in th province of I'lnar dolltlo. A bad lmprosslon has also boon created bore by tho dispatches of the Spanish cor respondents at Havana announcing that Gouoral Woylor has eupprosed nil dis patches roferrlng to tho ovations in Spain in honor of Major Clrujoda. It is supposed that tho captain gousral's action was due to joalousy, and it U currently roportod that tho govornmoni) lsdlsposod to replace Woyler by General Marin, now govornot of Porto Illoo. General Marin has soon considerable military service In tho causo of Spain, having participated In tho last Cuban war. At that time Ho had for adversaries on tho Insurgent sldo somo of the men who flguro prominently lu that sorvloo to day. General Marin wont to Cuba por nianontly with Martinez Campos when tho lattor was appointed captain general of tho Island, IIo notod us captain gouoral whon Campos was In tho Bold against the Insurgents, and whon Campos was re called, Marin took his place during tho lntorreguum botwoen tho doparturo of Campos nnd the arrival of Woyler. Gen oral Marin is about GO years of ago. KNLTST3IKNTS FPU CUIlA. American Sympathizers Lay Thomselves Liable to Severe Penalties. Washington, Doo. 10. Tho attention of officials horo has boon nttraoted by tho storlos coming from all portions of tho country indicating thnt onllstmonts aro going on of parties of mon to go to Cuba to join the insurgents in their struggle against tho Spaniards. Those onllstmonts are In direct violation of tho neutrality laws, and nro prohibited undor sovcro pen alties. For accepting a commission to servo against Spain, n country with which tho United States Is now at peace, the pen alty prescribed Is $3,000 flno and three years' Imprisonment, whllo for onllstmont to sorvo ngalnst Spain, or hiring nny ono to onllst, tho ponnlty is almost ns heavy, being a maximum of fl.OOO lino and three years' imprisonment. If tho movements contlnuo on n largo scale, as reported, It Is probablo that tho department of justtco will sond instruc tions of a special character to all of Its agonts calling their attention to tho proc lamation issuod by tho president last spring, and enjoining upon thorn n strict enforcement of tho neutrality laws. Tho government doubtless will bo obllgod to do this in order to manifest Its purpose to meet tho requirements of International law, just as It has warned the shipping in terests ngalnst taking part lu filibustering movements. In all soctlons of tho country last night enthusiastic meetings wero held, at which resolutions strongly urging action by this country in tho Interest of Cuba woro passed. Tho following dispatch from tho Span ish minister of foreign affairs in regard to tho death of Gonoral Macoo is mncto pub llo by Minister Do Lomo: "Maceo's doath took plaeo In loyal fight nt Punta Ilravo, and was causod by our soldlors' bullets. This Is proved by tho lottor written by tho son of Gomez, In which ho stntos that ho killed himself In order not to leave tho body of his general. Tho handwriting of tho lotter has boon verified and also ovory detail of the fight." Thoro is more than ordinary lntorest In the mooting of tho sonato committee on foreign rotations, which has boon called for this afternoon bocauso of the supposi tion that the condition of affairs In Cuba will rocoivo especial attention at tho hands of thocommlttoe. Thoro Is n diversity of opinion In tliooomiiiitteo as to tho courso to bo pursued, and It Is qulto possible that today's mooting will bo barren of oil re sults. ALLEGE!) INSUItOENT VICTORIES.
