The Killing of the Spanish Sailor Now
Believed to Have Been Murder.
LONG ISLAND CITY, Sept. 13.-The evil
dence already adduced at the Coroner's
inquest as to the death OF the Spanish
sailor Unerbecindo Mariner, who was
shot by Policeman Walsh on Friday last,
has created a great change in public
opinion, and the belief now prevails that
the shooting was entirely unwarrant-
ed and the man deliberately muir
dered. Mr.. Gonzales, counsel to the
Spanish Consulate in New York, aided by
ex-District Attorney Downing, has been
experimenting the work of three de-
tectives from New York, who's are en-
ployed at the expense of the Spanish Gov
ernment to investigate the circumstances
of the shooting, and have already obtained
some damaging evidence. Whatever may
be the result of the inquest the matter
will be taken before the grand jury, and
an indictment of murder asked for against
Officer Walsh.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 13.-In the United
States District Court to-day the motion
for rule to compel the plaintiff to an
swer the interrOgatories in the Blaine
Sentinel legal suit came up before Judge
Woods. The Judge stated in advance of
the argument that interrogatories had
long been prohibited in the practice of
the courts of this United States Circuit,
and, while he would personally like to see
the rule changed, he would not take the
liberty of setting it aside at this
time. If, however, with this pre-
GminarY statement the attorneys desired
TO argue the question, he would listen to
them. Senator Harrison said that the in
terrOgatories would be answered, but
when Mr.. TupIe asked when, he declined
to answer. The argument was then pro-
ceeded with, and, at its conclusion, Judge
Woods declined to rule on the motion. The
action of the Judge leaves it optional with
Mr.. BlaIne's attorneys to answer the in
terFogatories, or to refuse to do so.

would resume operations as soon as he
received reinforcements and fresh sup
plies of provisions. The Chinese question
was the only subject discussed. The ques-

WELLINGTON, KAN, Sept. 13.-This
city was thrown into wild excitement
this morning by the sudden appearance of
Frank Jones, armed with a Winchester
rifle and firing into the residences of Yari-
Gus citizens. He first went to the resi-
dence of John l. Anderson, and fired
several shots into the house, and then re-
paired to the house of j. NJ. Mckee,
through which he fired twelve shots,
smashing furniture and wounding a small
child of Mckee. Alarm was quickly
raised, and in few minutes the citizens
were up in arms. Jones was mounted on
pony, and while galloping up Washing
ton avenue shot William Gaines, street
commissioner, inflIcting a dangerous
wound. Jones then rode to the house of
his brother, Sylvester Jones, and dis
charged several shots into it, but
the family had escaped to
a neighbor's. He then fed
to the country, but was pursued and cap
tured about mile from town. About a
week ago Jones was brought before a iury
to have his sanity passed upon. Since
then he has threatened the lives of all
who testified against him, and to-day he
was endeavoring to carry out his threats.
Public opinion seems to be divided as to
his insanity. He is now in jail, and fears
are entertained that he will be lynched.

LONDON, Sept. 13.-The French and
italian governments have entered into
negotiations looking to a revision of the

closing its ports to French vessels. and
also by imposing a duty of five francs
upon French Mbbons.
