WHY sARToRIUs SURRENDERED
He Had Been Deceived Regarding the
Support of Cuban Rebels.

MADRID, May b.-The news received here
from Havana that the chief Cuban rebels
had surrendered has been received here
with expressions of profound relief in po-
litical and financial circles. Spanish funds
have rallied per cent. and Cuban stocks
4 per cent. Official dispatches continue to
represent the Separatist movement as COM
pletely checked. The press censures the
conduct of the United States authorities
in allowing Cuban exiles to make DEM
onstration from Florida.
Manuel Sartorius, when he surrend cred
confessed frankly that he had yielded be-
cause he discovered the leading filibusters
had deceived him in protesting to have the
support OF the most powerful classes in
the eastern districts.
He was persuaded to believe, he said,
that thousands were ready to join in the
uprising, but soon discovered his mistake
His brother Ricardo was permitted to re-
turn to the mountains, and already he has
induced Calle and other conspicuous in
surgents to lay down their arms.

LONDON, May "a dispatch from Cal
cutta to The Daily Chronicle says that the
Indian government has decided to depose
the khan of khelat on account of his ire
presslble bloodthirstiness. The number of
murders committed at his instance since
he began to reign in 1857 is 5000. He has

the national commission was productive OF
. decided sensation. During the afternoon
Commissioner Lannon, of Utah, appeared
In the meeting, and on being granted tho
hoor said that what he wished to disclose
was nothing more or less than a nationa
scandal. He declared that there was a
combination of musical manufacturers
and organizations in the country to do an
injustice to certain exhibitors, and monop-
Ollie all the benefits accruing from the ex-
position. Ho then read two letters re-
ceived by leading Chicago firm from the
harpists in Theodore Thomas orchestra,
one of which was to the effect that the per-
formers ''would lose interest," in their in
struments unless the firm would agree to
pay fee of 81 600 a year and percentage
on all instruments sold. The other letter
received by the same firm was from the
lady harpist of the Thomas orchestra, say
