New YORK, April 1l.-Thomas Walsh,

ling revelations and discriminating docu-
ments Sir Richard Webster relied to
prove his case against Parnell and his
colleagues, is now in this city. He
slipped away from London the
night before he vas wanted aAd
Mr.. Soames. the Times solicitor, has
been looking for him since. Walsh
was sentencedin 1882 to seven years. I'M

don to the Irish Fenians. He alleged
he was frequently urged while in prison
by the Scotland Yard officials to give tes'
timony against Parnell, being offered a
biz reward for go doing. Assurances
10 the effect that Parnell had nothing
do with him we're met by incredulous
smiles. Finally he decided by the advice
of friends to pretend be had evidence tf

make their farewell Joint appearance Ia
this city tonight and considerable
p%iquancy has been given TO the fact by
the announcement that both comedians
have announced their intention OF adj
dressing the audience. Whether or not
they propose to publicly justify their
separation IS a question concerning
which there is no little
speculation and upon which both
comedians are dumb this morning. In
theatrical circles the opinion prevails
hat the theatrical divorce does not
promise well for either party, and that as
individuals they will never attain their
recent success. The trouble appears to
be that Robson believes that his acting
and reputation is causing the dollars TO
flow into Cranes pockets, while Crane is
firmly of the opinion that he is carrying
his partner upon his shoulders. Both Of
them are well fixed financially, but how
much of their wealth they will drop next
season, when each is starring on his own
hook, is an open question.

WAsHINeroN, April 1i.-State depart
ment officials were very reticent today
when asked about the truth or falsity OF
the report that an agreement had been
reached between Germany and the
United States that no wal vessels are to
be sent to Somoa until after the result Of
the Berlin conference is announced.
There is little doubt, however, that both
governments are already committed TO
such an agreement. 1t is understood
that the proposition to leave Samoan
waters unguarded by Germany and the
United States, and just as they were after
the typhoon had wrecked and disabled
The vessels of both governments, came
originally from Prince Bismarck, and he
was promptly met half way by our gov

accepted. This will leave matters IN

for German, American and British inter
ests until he Berlin conference settles

had living with him a young woman from

had been "a disgrace and b scandal TO the

the Pike county jail in Kentucky, has
made q confession to States Attorney
Lee Ferguson. 81 was present." he said,
and participated in the murder Of the
three Mccoy brothers-Tolbert, Farley
and Randolph. The three brothers were
taken from a school house in Logan
county, West Virginia, where they had
been guarded for a day and a night, and
brought over the Tug river, which sep
arates West Virginia and Kentucky.
About fifty feet from the river Carpenter
tied them to a pawpaw bush and hung a
lantern over their heads. Anse Hat
field then said to them: Boys, if you
have any peace to make with your
Maker, you had better make it. Tolbert
and Randolph began praying, but Farley
did not. However, before the boys
had time to finish their prayers, John
Hatfield shot Farley dead. Anse then
gave the order to fire, and shot as he
gave the word, killing Tolbert and then
emptying the contents Of his revolver
into the dead body. Alex Husser fred
and killed Randolph Mccoy. The others
followed suit and all the bodies We're rid

killed Walt Hatfield administered an oath

the first who divulged the names of any
who were along" Captain Hatfield said
that he and Tom Wallace shot JEFF Nc

The prisoner also gave the particulars OF
the brutal murder Of Alifera and Alvin
Mccoy, in which he took part. Nine of
the Hatfield faction on a Sunday night
in January, 1893, crossed the river into
Kentucky under command of Jim Vance.
They surrounded the Mccoy homestead,
fired the house, and killed the girl as she
attempted to ~extiDguish the flames. Cap

New YORK, April IA private letter
received in New York, from a trustwor.
thy gentleman residing at the City OF
Mexico, says: -Four Of the men arrested
on a charge of being implicated in the
derailing Of President Diaz's train, n few
weeks ago, have been shot. The execu
ton was carried out very quietly, as no
infrequently happens in such cases il
this country. The newspapers and new
agencies did not publish the fact, as the
editors stand in wholesome awe of i'm
prisonmcnt, and do not give publicity to
events which governmental authorities
prefer should remain in obscurity. BY
the way, the prospect is now that we are
going to have exciting times here before
long. The impression is deepening in
many minds that President DiaZ will not
be able to maintain his position to the
end of his present term. Indeed, many
think Gonzales will succeed 10 the presi-
idency before eighteen months have
passed.
