MURDEROUS OUTRAGE ON FOUR AMERICANS,

MURDERoUs OUTRAGE ON FOUR AMERICANS.
HAVANA, Feb. 7.-Yesterday morning about
II o'clock four Americans, Issac Greenwall,
Henry x. Foster, Hugh johnson and Gardner
Wells, all of New York, were on their way to
visit photograph gallery, intending to have
their photographs taken, all wearing blue neck
ties, and when near the Tacon Theatfs they
were stopped by man, who pointed to their
neck-ties and addressed the men in an excited
manner in Spanish. None of the party un-
Outstanding the language no answer was re-
turned. Tue unknown man then took out
revolver and fired upon them. Greenwall was
shot and killed and Foster and johnson were
severely wounded and in a precarious condi-
ton. Wells, who was unhurt, ran for his life.
A number of men followed and raised the cry Of
"stop him.; but he escaped. The wounded
men were badly treated by the crowd which
gathered around them. The nan who fired
the shots disappeared Immediately after. and it
is not known whether he was volunteer or
not. The declarations of the parties who wit
messed the affair are now being taken by the
legal authorities in the presence of the United
States Consul General. The indi ynation of
the Captain General at the outrage is very
great. He has called on the Chief Justice and
other leading officers of the law to use every
means to discover the perpetrator and abettors
to the deed. The people of all parties de-
nounce the act and the officers of the volun-
teers are hunting for the assassin and his ac
completes, and the Governor has placed the
entire police force in motion. DeRodas has
offered a reward of $1,000 for the arrest of the
culpable parties, who if found will be tried by
d drum-head court martial and executed with
in two hours after the sentence is passed. The
victims of this unfortunate affair arrived here
from New York several weeks ago to open a
cosmetic aud perfumery factory.
The volunteers who took prominent part
in the recent disturbance at Matanzas have
been arrested by order of the Captain General

MoNpAY.-John A. Holmes vs. Ebridge Gerry.
Trover for four $1,000 and two $500 bonds OF the York
& Cumberland Railroad known consolidated or
third mortgage bonds, which were pledged by John
G. Myers in 1857 cola eral security to notes which
the defendant held against said Myers and Hiram H.
Dow. The plaintiff claimed title to the bonds under
order from Myers to Gerry in 1862 to deliver tie
bonds to Holmes. The defendant claimed, however,
that previous to this order in 1860 and after the
notes were paid Myers had pledged the bends to
him as collateral security for the rent Of farm in
Westbrook on which Holmes was then residing and
which belonged to Gerry, and that at the time OF the
receipt of this order rent had en- pa,d that sub
sequent to this, in 1868, Homes, when called on to
pay the rent then due authorized Gerry to sell said
bonds and appfopriate the proceeds to the payment
Of the rent. This, however, the plaintiff denied.
Gerry did sell the bonds at public auction in Febu
airy, 1864 In July they had final settlement in
which, testified to by witnesses for the defendant
Holmes was allowed the full value OF the bonds
Holmes denied that the bonds were accounted for in
that settlement and this the issue submitted to
the jury. The jury returned verdict for the de-
fendant.
