Panama. Jan. ia letter to the
Star and Herald, giving details of the
recent horrible scenes at Cali, in Cauck
valley, says: e7I.-.G .a59s .
General Pena, who commanded the
Liberals, was drunk, and gave his so'-
diers five hours freedom, during which
they gave themselves up to every ex-
cess. Neither age nor sex was spared.
Many Conservatives were dragged
from hiding-places and killed before
the eyes of their wives and daughters,
who met a worse fate before being
killed in turn. Eighty-seven houses in
the centre of the city were plundered,
and the churches were robbed. The
murders number several hundred.
Foreigners lose from S150,000 to $780,
600 in Cali alone. In the suburbs
these scenes were kept up for several
days, and the country was nearly
ruined. Palmiru escaped the fate of
Cali by paying 20,000 ransom. The
houses of the italian consul and of an
American merchant named McCune
were plundered. Fears are entertained
that tho civil war will degenerate into
a war of races. Foreigners are flying.

Washington, Feb. 3.-When in New
Orleans Senator Howe, chairman of the
committee, was approached by a per-
son who said to him substantially:
There is a man in New Orleans who,
unless something be done for him, will
blow the returning board out Of water,
He will startle the country and destroy
the whole Republican cause. Howe
replied that this vas just what the
gentlemen from the north were there to
see to. That was exactly what they
wanted to find out, and if there had
been anything of that sort going on in
the returning board, they wanted to
know it. This individual attempted nc
further negotiations with Howe. The
Republican members of the House COM
mittee hope to prove, with this witness
as the starting point, that Littleield
and Spearing formed a conspiracy to
obtain money from Republicans by
altering the Vernon returns.

ELECTION INVESTIGATIONS.
Mississippi


Mississippi.
Washington, Feb. 3.-The investiga-
ton into the conduct of the late cleo
ton in Mississippi was continued to-
day before the Senate committee oil
privileges and elections. j. T. Lecas-
ter, President of the Hines county
board of registers, who refused to testi-
fy before the committee yesterday, tes-
titled that there was a conference of
leading Democrats of Hines county "a
short time before tine election, at which
it was proposed to furnish one of the
Democratic judges of election at each
polling place with a duplicate key to
the ballot box. Witness furnished
about fifteen of these duplicate keys to
different men, all of whom were white
men, and Democrats. He slipped a
small Parcel into the vest pocket Of one
of the judges, remarking rs he did so:
Here is something which may be OF
use to YOU" He did not tell them what
use was to be made of them, but
thought they were all smart enough to
lind out for what to use them. In an
swer to a question from Senator Teller,
witness said 81 suppose my idea was
that if there were too many Republican
votes IN a ballot-box, the key was to
open the box SO that the Republican
votes might be taken out and Demo-
cratic votes be substituted in theii
stead.n
Witness admitted that the Republi-
can judges OF election in Hines county
were generally ignorant negroes, and it
was easy to get them intoxicated on
election day. He admitted that dupli-
cate keys to the ballot boxes were fur
nished to one of the Democratic judges
in every polling precinct in the county.
Henry Outham of Aberdeen, Munroe
county, testified that at all meetings
which colored Republicans attempted
t, hold in his county during the late
campaign were broken up by armed
Democrats. Witness was at q meeting
in Aberdeen during September, when
seventeen colored NEIL were shot, some
killed outright, and others so seriously
wounded that they have since died.
The Democrats had a practice of riding
through Munroe county atnight, taking
colored men from their beds and whip
ping them, and many of his race had
slept out of doors for several nights
preyious to the late election to prevent

The War OF

There was some lively sparring be-
tween counsel before the electoral tri-
bunal to-day over the question of going
back of the certificates. The court fin
ally decided to hear arguments on the
question of taking evidence, and allow
ing counsel on each side 3 hours.
Republicans Depressed.
Indications based upon the rulings
OF the court to day have depressed the
spirits OF the Republicans very much,
and the belief Is growing that the court
will decide to go back Of the certificates
and admit evidence as to the elections.
The Democrats are very hopeful. All
this may change, however, as the argu-
ments proceed.

The Louisiana returning board will
testify before Senator Howe's commit
tee early next week. The board is held
subject to the order of the Morrison
committee of the House. There is an
understanding between the two COM
mittee's that whenever the Senate COM
mittee desire, the returning board will
appear and testify. Gov. Wells sent a
request to-day to the committee OH the
powers of the House in counting cleo
toral votes, asking to be allowed to give
his testimony before them to-day, so it
could be placed before the public with
the testimony which Littlefield is CIV
ing. The committee considered the re-
quest at a secret session this afternoon,
and by a party vote refused to grant it.
