A SOUTH AMERICAN INDIAN RAID
Thousands of Savages Ravaging the
Plantations in Portions of Colombia.

La Ndcion of Bogota says: "The news from
the extreme east of the territory of Cosanare
received in this city by the last mail from the
north is very alarming. The prosperous plan
tation of Santa Elena, situated between the
rivers Meta and Cusiana, has been DESTROYED by
fire and has suffered from the incursions of
thousands of savage Indians of different tribes
having no fixed abode within the limits of the
aforementioned rivers. These Indians, in
consequence of an offer made by the govern
ment months ago to supply them with certain
articles. such as cloth and salt. united, to the
number of 5000, and in a menaclng manner
requested the colonsts to procure the articles
promised them, and also some beef to satisfy
their hunger. The savages have set fire to a
number OF houses and robbed many persons of
cattle along the Cusiana river The people of
Santa Elena have abandoned their residences
many times IN consequence of their threats
and have appealed to the project of Cosanare
1T is feared that terrible disaster will occur
II an armed force is not sent to control these
Indians and II steps for their relief are not
quickly taken. 1t is the general opinion that
tins matter requires the immediate attention of
the national government or that the lives and
property of the civilized people living in the
locality will be sacrificed The press has been
urging the procuring and forwarding of the
necessary food and clothing to the savages who
are IN immediate need. 1t Is the opinion of
various persons of experience that the first and
most urgent matter to be considered by the
government is the dispatching of the necessary
quantity OF salt 10 the Indians so as to prevent
repetition of the outrages which have been
committed. They also believe 1t would be well
to enlist the services of the Catholic mission
aries, who, with competent authority, can enter
the camps of the Indians and influence their
actions.
1T is believed that the society for the protec-
ton OF the aboriSines iii this capital has under
consideration proposition bearing on the sub
ject OF these Indian troubles"

THE IRISH LEAGUES BOOKS.
Sir Charles Lewis Says the Parnell Com.
mission Should Have Seen Them.

The debate on the amendment to Mr.. Smiths
motion relative to the adoption by the house
OF commons of the Parnell commission report,
moved by Mr.. Gladstone on Monday. was re-
sumed in the house Of commons yesterday.
Mr.. John MacNeill. home ruler, member for
South Donegal said that if the commission was
intended to merely elucidate the truth the gov
eminent. by friendly agreement with the op-
position, would have selected judges agreeable
to both sides. He believed that the appoint
ment of the commission was merely an attempt
by the government to stir up hatred against
the Parnelites. He charged the government
with allowing Pigott to escape, as it had allowed
Lord Arthur Somerset to escape-for a political
purpose.
Sir Charles Lewis, conservative member for
North Antrim admitted that the report proved
very little that was not known before, but said
it proved what was before disputed. Men had
undergone long terms of transportation for
less than had been proved against some of the
defendants before the Parnell commission. He
accused Mr.. Campbell. Mr.. Parnelrs private
A lively passage here ensued. MIR. Campbell
declared that he last the books in LIVER
pool and so far as he knew the same books had
been produced before the commission. Sir
Charles Lewis commended that every charge
that had been disproved would have been
proved if all the books had been produced. Mr..
Sexton said he wished to explain on behalf OF
Mr.. Parnell why they refused to place at the
disposal of their opponents a statement OF the
finances of the party.
Sir Charles Lewis asked If this was lepiti-
mate explanation, which had been overlooked
i'll the report The Parnelites had blank!y re-
fused to accede to the application FOR the pro-
duction of the books before the commission.
Mr.. James Bryce, member for South Aberdeen
a liberal. adjourned the debate. He argued
that the limited views of the commi m ora ra.
duced the value of their conclusion to q very
low point

HABEAS CORPUS FOR A WIFE.
The Course of True Love Not Smooth
Even for Deaf Mutes.

John Conrad Hummer is the name of a deaf
mute farmer who lives near Grinnell Kan. He
Is widower with two half-grown children. In
Cleveland. Ohio. at 63 Sellye avenue, lives
Minnie Estelle Wyman. Minnie is twenty
eight years old and has been deaf and dumb
since infancy. Rev. A. W. Mann, the deaf
mute rector of an Episcopal mission in Cleve-
land, was acquainted with Hummer and under
took to get him wife. He and Miss W,man
were introduced by letter, and a correspond
ence followed. which resulted in an engage
ment.
A few days ago Mr.. Hummer arrived in
Cleveland. He went to the probate court and
took out marriage license. He then pur-
chased two railway tickets to his faraway home
and engaged clergyman to perform the mar
rage ceremony. Such thing as opposition to
the marriage mad never occurred to him. All
preparations for the wedding were completed:
the brides trosseau was ready; but when Hum
mer and the clergyman visited the Wyman
house they were told that they could not see
the girl and that the wedding must be post
poned.
Hummer then sought the police and pleaded
with them in vain to take his lady love from
her parents house. Then he went to Justice
OF the peace, who told him the only way to get
the girl was with a writ of habeas corpus
At o'clock Hummer and the clergyman
rode up to the house in hack and an express
wagon backed up to the door, but entrance
was again refused. Every door was locked
Hummer was greatly agitated but his gesticu-
lations were in vain. He could not even get a
glimpse of Miss Wyman, who was kept closely
concealed. Then he went away disheartened.
Miss Wyman's married sister from New York is
responsible for the pOstponement of the mar
riage. She declared that Hummer was poor
and unrefned and Minnie was not capable of
assuming charge of his two children Miss
Wyman has disappeared and it is believed
that she has gone to New York with her sister
Hummer will go back to Kansas without a
wife. The would-be bridegroom is graduate
of the Kendall Green deaf and dumb college.
