Butterworth asked: Ibid he teach YOU
much history ln
mot so much as Col Breckinridge told
me afterward,' - was the answer, and it
took the crier nearly minute to stop the
laughter.
Miss Pollard's answers were bright and
sometimes witty, and kept pace with the
keen minded Mai. Butterworth.
Miss Pollard sketched her life at Crab
Orchard, how she left il to 20 to her
aunt's in Pittsburg, where she remained
until August, 1850, when she returned to
her mothers in Frankfort Nearly all
her answers began with Now, MIR. But

THIRD ENGAGEMENT.
Maj. Butterworth's cross-examination
brought an acknowledgment from Miss
Pollard that besides her contract as
she called it. with Rhodes to marry him
or refund the money expended upon her
education she engaged herself to man
named Rozell while at Wesleyan college,
Cincinnati
Did you tell of this engagement to
Rhodes2"
mo, sir"
Did you break off with Rosezell2"
"Yes, while Mr. Breckenridge was con-
cealed in a sitting room adjoining and
heard me break my engagement with
Rozell was pregnant at the time by
Mr. Breckenridge"
There was one sally that created a roar.
Mr.. Butterworth asked Miss Pollard if
Col, Breckenridge had recognized her
on the train at their first meeting.
and Miss Pollard said: HE crossed
the aisle and asked if he did not recog-
nize me-and by the way that's a com
mon trick of his, recognizing people he
does not know" Miss Pollard, in answer
to other questions, said she had seen
many things in Mr. Breckenridge during
their nine years association that she did
not like, including this trick of recogni-
tion, but she had not found him out at
that time.
Al 3;15 o'clock the court adjourned
until tomorrow.

DA eAmA's LIFE IN DANGER.
The Men Who Fought Under Him Now
Ready to Kill Him.

Buenos Ayres, March 16.-From dis
patches received from Rio it is gathered
that the surrender of the insurgents was
due to the fact that their provisions gave
out and no further supplies were obtain
able.
Admiral da Cana is roundly denounced
by the sailors who were under his com
mand, and they unhesitatingly declare
that they would have killed him had they
known of his intention to desert them.
da Cana is supposed TO be seeking the ear
l1est opportunity TO escape to Europe but
1t is understood that the government will
demand his surrender as pirate by any
country giving him shelter. 1t is gen
orally believed that Admiral Mello has
followed the example of Admiral da
Cana and deserted his followers.
The government Is arranging to send q
fleet southwark to search for the Repub-
ica and Aquida ban.
DA GAMMA's SURRENDER DEMANDED.
Copyright, 1894, by the United Press.)
Rio de Janeiro, March 16-Admira da
Cana and his eight officers are still on
the Portuguese corvette Mindello to
which they were transferred from the
French cruiser Magon. The government
applied yesterday to the Portuguese
minister for the surrender of
UuS luSufR6ub duUlFdl ana MS stan.
The minister declined to give Admiral
da Cana up, and the cabinet then sent a
dispatch to Lisbon repeating the applica-
tion which the minister rejected. Ad-
miral da CANA was described i'll this dis
patch as military criminal and defaulter,
having nothing in common with the ordin-
ary political refugee The Lisbon govern
ment has not yet returned an answer.
STEAMER FIRED ON.
The Portuguese merchant steamer
Cidade do Porto was fired on by the forts
as she was leaving the harbor last night.
She was compelled, eventually, to stop,
and she was searched by government Of
ficials, who marched ashore ninety-one in
surgents who were found among the crew
and passengers.
The total number of prisoners taken by
the government is more than 900.
Among them are the sick and. wounded
and many who were forced against their
wills into the insurgent service. The
fighting men who have been captured
number 475 or 800
Little trustworthy news has been re-
Ceived from the south. 1t is not certain
where the insurgent cruiser Aquidaban
is or what Admiral Mello is doing. The
movements of the land troops are only
surmised. The insurgents profess not to
know what Gen. GOmereindo Saraivas'
plans are or where he and his men have
been during the last ten days

Judge Graham said: 81 shall take no
action on the appeal made for a writ of
attachment for Gov. Waite for contempt,
until there IS some change in the situa-
tlon. Unless there is "a new display Of
force at the city hall or somebody is hurt
or some other important change in the
present status of things occurs, the situa-
tlon does not call for action on my part. ~
The attorneys for both the old board
and tle governor were firm in the posi-
tons taken by them last night. Mem

ice and the sheriff were defiant and de-
! clared that Gov Waite could never bluff

unless Gov. Waite cali off the MALTA and

GEN. M'cooK's INSTRUCTIONS.
Washington, March l6.-Late this af-
ternoon Instructions were telegraphed to
Gen. McCook, by order Of President
Cleveland Secretary Lamont states
that the instructions were as follows:
Gen. McCook was only authorized to use
the troops for the protection of the gov
crnment property, unless the representa-
tlon was made to him by the governor Of
the state that the authorities are unable
TO suppress the insurreCtion."
This is in effect an approval of Cen.
McCoOl's action in ordering the troops
for Fort Logan to Denver, but not to the
extent of giving him discretion to pre-
serve the peace, or of rendering aSSiS-
tance to the state militia in enforcing
state laws. Neither is the general TO
withdraw his troops at the command Of
the governor, nor is he to take any direc-
tions at all from the governor, who can
expect nothing from the United States
forces until he has confessed his inability
to uphold the law and at that moment
Gen. McCook, under the constitution, and
as the representative of the President
will preserve order under military regu-
lations.
WAITE HAS NO FoWER OVER HIM.
Gen. SchOtield commanding the army,
says it is not possible for Gen. McCook to
take orders from Gov. Waite or any
other person except the President or the
Presidents direct military subordinates.
1t is impossible to delegate any military
authority as civil officer and therefore
Gen. McCook will continue supreme
as far as the United States
forces are concerned and responsi-
bic to the President alone Gen.
McCook's ability to go safely through
the present complication, invol wing. as it
does, so many delicate points, is declared
at the war department TO be second TO
that of no officer in the service, and the
fullest confidence is expressed that he
Will commit noi indiscretion, no matter
how great the provocation.

was as to how long the Illicit relationship
existed between Col. Breckenridge and
the plaintiff, and Miss Pollard answered
loudly and distinctly, emphasizing every
syllable; From that night when he took
me to Sarah Guests in 1884, there never
was any suggestion of the discrimination
of that miserable sin, until Col Breckin-
ridge. with all his protestations and prom
ises and vows of affection, left me on
May II, 1898"
Maj. Butterworth tried to stop Miss
Pollard, telling her to simply answer the
question, but ne was plucked by the sleeve
by Col. Breckenridge and Col. Thompson,
