The murderer Twitchell who was to
have been hung at Philadelphia Thurs
day for the murder Of his mother-in-
law, Mrs Hill, as found dead in his
cell Thursday morning at three o'clock,
having poisoned himself 1t appears
that Twitchell was left in his cell Mt
two o'clock in company with two Cath
Ollie priests. The keepers removed ev-
eyything from his cell, except tin cup,
at which Twitchell smiled and made a
iocular remark. At twenty minutes
past FIVE tho Waterman found Twitchell
apparently in deep sleep. He shook
him aud found that life was extinct
He had for the previous twenty-four
hours evinced overwhelming terror OF
his fate. An examination Of his cell
led to the discovery OF bottle contain
ing a solution Of cyanide Of potassium,
in the toe Of boot. The bottle was
about half full Of the poison.

CUBAN ANNEXATION.

The Imprisonment in Cuba of Mr..
Cazanova, an adopted United States
citizen, and his son, npolitical grounds,
and the attention Of our President and
Congress called 20 it by Mrs. Yillayer-
de, married daughter, and her broth
er, Jose w. Cazanoya, who escaped i'm
prisonment only by fight, serve to add
fuel to the annexation fires which have
been burning hero ever since the reyo-
luton in Spain became an an accomp-
lished fact, In the first place they had
an interview with Gen. Banks, who is
Chairman Of the Commit ee on Foreign
Affairs, and he assured them Of his
hearty sympathy. Next they had an
interview with the President. This
was strictly private, but is reported
highly satisfactory. The Interpretation
Of this is that the Government is with
the people in warm sympathy with the
Cuban rerolutionists and that any pos
sible opportunity for showing that sym
pathy on the part of the Government
and people will be taken and allowed
This is, Of course, accompanied by the
belief that the reyolutionists are favor
able TO annexation with the United
States, and that their independence OF
Spain will be but one step towards an
nexation.
