Joseph Yedusky was In business on East
Centre street, in 18D3. Ills brother, Martin
Yedusky, and Fete Wllkutskey, obtained
judgment against him before Justice Dcnglcie
Jin Jahuarv 30. 'S3, and at onco issued exocu-l
ffouirmi Jerof uparASf-stcci: el Kxit gflon
other proporty. Joseph Yedusky claimed
tho 300 law, and undor it Constablo Tosh Bet
aside a large stock of groceries In tho storo.
Ilairis Itublnsky was a creditor of Joseph
Yedusky, and ho issued attachment pro
ceedings before tho late 'Squire Hill, of Potts
villo. Constable Bertram, on February 3rd,
1603, attached tho stock of goods In the store
that had been set aside, but did not take
actual possession of them, but left them in
the possession of JoO and allowed him to con
tinue business at the old stand the same as
before. Borne three weeks after this execu
tion was placed in tho hands of Constablo
Diindo and upon it was endorsed a list of the
goods which Bertram had attached, and
which ho, DandO, was directed to sell. When
Constablo Dando called at the store, together
with constablo Roland, Martin Yedusky, a
brother of Joseph's, claimed these goods, and
alleged that ho had bought them from Joseph
since mo attachment. Tho onlcors, believing
that Joseph bad no right after the levying of
tho attachment to sell and disposo of these
goods, and that tiler woro still subject to the
attachment, seized tho goods.
Martin Yedusky, claiming that ho had
purchasod these goods from Joseph In good
faith, and that he had no knowledge what
ever of Constable Bertram's attachment upon
tho same, brought this action against tho
officers and against RUlilusky and his son.
and one Isadora Lauderstcln, who was pres
ent at the time and assisted in the removal
of the goods. Tho vordict includes tho valu?
of the goods, $200, and damsges to the

NATURALIZATION COURT.
A Number of Tenons Made Appllrntlon
on Saturday.
Saturday was naturalization iy at tho
county court, nnd Judge Bechtol had a busy
day of it with tho half hundred apiilloauts,
mostly Poles and Slavs. Some were after
their first papers, and others for their Dual
papers. S. M. Entorlino and John O. Ulricli,
Esqs., wero present nnd rigidly oros
examined all tho applicants, in many
instances offering objections to their lining
naturalized. Tho hearing began at 10 o'clock
and was continued until 1 o'clock. Many of
tlio applicants wero refused tho parchment
desired.
A ballot was on tho clork's desk, which all
applicants woro required to explain how they
would vote tho different party tickets. This
was ono of tho questions asked applicants
from Shenandoah by tho objectors : "Woro
you at tho meeting at Shenandoah, on Sep
tember 12th, to condemn tho shooting at Lat
timer by Sheriff Martin and his deputies?"
Dionizi Redzlk, of Shenandoah, did not
pass tho ordeal. He could not tell whoro tho
administrative ofllco of tho President of tho
United States was located, or whero the
Stato laws aro enacted. He said Wm. Mc
Kinley made tho laws of the Stato. The
Constitution of the Stato was read to him by
"anothor feller" from Russian print. To Mr.
Entcrllne, who did much of tho examining,
he said the tax collector could collect his
church duos. This applicant, of course, was
refused naturalization.
Mr. Ulrich entored objection to certain of
tho applicants who said thoy read tho Stato
Constitution in a Polish paper in Mahanoy
City, adding that he is informed the consti
tution was not published in the paper alluded
to. Each ono was required to havo at least
one person to vouch for his good behavior
and desirability as a citizen.
Two or threo woro refused citizenship bo
causo they dosirod to get rid of tho three
cent alien tax, while others were refused be
cause thoy did not know what ofllco His
Honor Judgo Bcchtel held. Mr. Enterliue
had a list of some of tho applicants who wero
defendants in suits in tbo local courts during
tho past llvo years, and in each case entored
an objection. Undor tbo rules of court theso
applicants wore refused papers.
Some of tho applicants practically knew
nothing about the National or State Govern
ment; couldn't tell whom tho Governor was.
One lawyer, in discovering that some of his
clients woro situated in this manner, sent
them homo to study. In some respects the
hoaring is considered a farco. The attorneys
for tho applicants know what questions are
to be askod, and tbeir clients aro thoroughly
drilled beforo going on tho stand. In several
instances, on Saturday, tho applicants got
twisted in their answors, much to tho disgust
of the attorneys. The latter go so far, some
times, as to ask tho questions and then sug
gest tho answor to the applicant.

Summons.
New York, Oot. 4. The Herald prints
a number of Interviews with leading
Cubans here on the situation In the
Island. The Cubans all deolare that
autonomy for the Islands is out of the
question, but most of them are In fa
vor of paying Spain a reasonable In
demnity, providing she evacuates th
Island at once.
T. Estrada Palmn, representative of
the Cuban provisional government,
said: "To the Cuban patriots It makes
little difference whether a Liberal or
Conservative ministry directs affairs
In Spain. A change in government in
Spain does not alter the case of the
Cubans. They are now more firmly
determined than ever to push the fight
until the absolute Independence of Cuba
is acknowledged. I believe the Cubans
aro willing to pay a reasonable In
demnity to Spain provided she with
draws her troops from Cuba before
the Island Is completely ruined."
Enrique J. De Varona said: "I be
lieve autonomy would complicate, far
from solving, the Cuban situation. Ab
solute Independence Is the aspiration of
the Immense majority of tho Cuban
people. Cuba needs a definite political
regime. Spanish autonomy would not
give It to the island. The only prac
tical solution of the Cuban problem is
absolute Independence."
Dr. Henry Lincoln De Zayas said,
"The Cubans aro and have always been,
ready to treat with Spain with a view
to cessation of hostilities provided the
first condition be that Spain should ac
knowledge Cuba's Independence."
Colonel F. Lopez de Quernllte, for
merly of the United States army, and
a veteran of the ten years' war In
Cuba, said:
"I would like to see Cuba freed by
force of arms. But to avoid further
shedding of blood of Innoceht people I
would, though painfully, sign and give
my consent to a compensltlon to Spain
for the sake of getting rid of the Span
ish."
E. Trujlllo, editor of El Porvenlr Bald:
"Cubans are fighting for absolute-Independence
and will accept no other so
lution." - ....
Brigadier Eugenlo Sarich'ez" "Agra-,
monte, surgeon general of the Cuban
army, said: "Cubans are flrrrlly de
termined to fight until absolute Inde
pendence is accomplished. But a few
million, more or less, provided the
sum Is reasonable, will be paid by them
to Spain, In order to avoid a prolonga
tion of the struggle."
Regarding the plan for the purchase
of Cuba from the Spanish government
General Emello Nunez, who for the
past ten days has been In consultation
with the Junta leaders in New York,
said:
"I cannot see how the plans for the
freedom of Cuba on the baBls of a
guarantee to Spain by the United States
of an Indemnltyof $200,000,000 In cash can
be displeasing to any of the parties, ex
cept that the amount Is greatly In ex
cess of tho true values of the relics left
by Weyler. The United States could
affort to back up the proposition, be
cause it would have the revenue of
Cuba to guarantee reimbursement, and
would gain Immediate Improvements
or its trade relations."
PREMIER SAOASTA'S TASK.
Gonoi-nl Weylor Mluht llofiiso to Oboy
OrtloiK If Rocnllud.
Madrid, Oct. 4. Senor Sagastn, the
Liberal leader, has been entrusted by
the queen regent with the task of form
ing a new cabinet. In succession to tho
Azcarraga ministry. It Is expected that
tne Hagasta cabinet will be completed
ana announced today. General Correa
has accepted the portfolio ot minister
of war, and Admiral Bennejo becomes
minister of marine.
It is perfectly understood In Madrid
that General Weyler Is the cause of tho
ministerial crisis. The queen as well as
Azcarraga object to his continuation In
Cuba. But a strong military party,
mostly composed of officers who have
obtained promotions and decorations
from General Weyler during his pre
vious military campaign, support him
In Madrid. They have become Insistent,
now that the question arises of recall
ing him. Another strong military party
In Cuba, composed of the same sort of
men, threaten hostile demonstrations in
case General Weyler Is not recalled.
Weyler Is entirely oapable of disobey
ing orders If recalled, As captain gen
eral of the Canary Islands, on a pre
vious occasion, he refused to obey
orders of recall, and the government
had to resort to energetic measures to
compel his obedlanoe, Weyler now de
clares that he haB a contract with the
Spanish government, and that by that
contract he Is given two years for end
ing the war In Cuba, and that the
term has not expired.
The ministerial changes will not af
fect the Instructions which United
States Minister Woodford; originally re
ceived from President McKlnley. Both
General Woodford and Senor Sagasta,
the premier, maintain absolute reserve
on the question of American relations
to Spain. Leading Liberals, however,
declare that Spain ean never officially
accept American mediation in Cuban
affairs.
