MADRID, April S-The Cuban Home
Rule party here has issued a manifesto
condemning the rebellion in Cuba, ex-
pressing loyalty to Spain, and proffering
assistance to crush the rising. The latest

that the rebellion is exaggerated by the

is confined to mulattos and negroes who
have failed to extend their operations be-

the pickets about the powder magazine
heard or saw a party of about fifteen ap-
preaching cautiously. The pickets shouted
the ''alto quien vive" This was answered
by a volley of shots. Soldiers from the
fortress pursued the party, which fled.
Another effort was made early next morn

him; that is, as a dignified, high-minded
gentleman, a perfect son, a kind. consid-
crate husband, and a doting. affectionate
parent cannot imagine why he gave
up the battle. when surrender meant a
practical admission of guilt.
He once said that abuse is better than
not to be noticed at ALL Poor man, / fear
that he is now realizing the falsity of this
saying. One OF the most charming phases
Of Mr.. Wilde's character is his love and
devotion to his mother, who is 80 years

will kill her. He leaves nothing undone
to add to her comfort. When he called
upon me last summer at my London
house his eyes swelled with tears rs he

LONDON, April s.-Oscar Wild was ar
raigned in court on charges OF immoral
conduct aud the first witness testified so
terribly against him that his counsel
asked that the ecross-examination be post
poned, as he was surprised at the testi-
mony. Other witnesses corroborated the
first and the case looks very black for
Wilde. The statement made by Lord
Douglas of Hawick that none OF the

is authoritatively denied, as nearly all the
family believes in their truth.

ABRAHAM TOLBERT RELEASED.

The COrOner's Jury ExOnerates Him
I'm the Shooting of Fred. Legree.
Fred Legree, the negro who was shot in
the leg by Abraham Tolbert Wednesday
morning. Aug. p. died at the Georgia In
Urinary yesterday morning at o'clock
of lockjaw. His death caused some sur
prise, as it was not supposed that he was
seriously hurt
Legree was shot at 1:S0 o'clock in the
morning, while proving around the yard
of Tolberts house on Hartridge street
near East Broad street Tolbert's wife
heard a noise in the yard at the hour
named, and called on her husband to get
up and see what it was, as she had two
large tubs Of white folks clothes" in the
yard. being the weeks wash. Tolbert got
up and looked out. He did not see any
one, but called to know If there was any,
one In the yard. He received no reply
and went back to bed. His wife again
insisted that she heard some one In the
yard, and persuaded him to get up a Sec
ond time and look. He went to the win
dow and called as before, but received no
reply. He was about to go back to bed
when he noticed a figure crouching down
behind one of the wash tubs. He had a
pistol in his hand and fired at the man,
firing low down, he says, so as not to
do any mortal injury. AS soon as he shot
the man jumped up and calling him by
name, exclaimed, Don't shoot; it's Lee
gree"
Tolbert asked Legree what he was do
ing in his yard at that time Of night, and
Legree replied that he was looking for his
wife. Why he did not answer when Toll
bert called he failed to explain. Tolbert
asked him how he got in the yard, and Lee
gree said he came in the gate Tolbert re-
piled that this could not be true, as the
gate was locked. Finding that Legree was
wounded, however, he let him out the gate
to go for a doctor and went on back to
bed. Legree met Policeman Barrett on
I the street and told him a story of the
shooting Barrett went back with him to
the house and arrested Tolbert.
Legree made a very poor explanation to
| the recorder the next morning as to how
he came to be in the yard at that hour
| of the night, and Tolbert was released.
Legree went out to the Georgia Infirmary
/ for treatment. The wound was slight and
| there seemed to be no reason why he
should have died form lockjaw.
Legree's death was reported to Coroner
1 Goette, who notified the police barracks
and requested Tolbert's arrest. Tolbert
was found at his house by Detective Soul
i ly and Policeman Barrett and sent to the
| barracks. The inquest was held last night
at the eoroners Office and resulted in the
complete generation of Tolbert. Toll
bert's wife ana two other colored women,
| near neighbors, were the witnesses before
the jury. Tolbert also made statement
The jury's verdict was that Legree came
to his death by lockjaw caused by pistol
shot wound in the leg inflicted by Abra-
ham Tolbert, which action the jury con-
sidered justihable and Tolbert to be free
from blame Tolbert was Immediately re-
leased by the coroner.

MAXWELL CHALLENGES HUFF
STETLER.
HUFF

Coiumbia's Speedy Rider TO Try Con-
illusions With the Orlando Rider.
Among the fast riders at the recent
Jacksonville bicycle meet. who attracted
universal notice by his fine riding and
fast spurts. was Fred B. Maxwell of Co
lumbia, S. C. He was in three races and
secured two first and one second prizes.
He only met Huffstetler, the South Flor
ida rider, once, and that was in the two
mile lap race, in which he secured fourteen
points to Huffstetler's fifteen. Good
judges then stated that had Maxwell start
ed his squirt little earlier he would have
beaten the Orlando rider badly. AS 1t is
his friends In Jacksonville think he can
outride the Orlando boy and they have is
sued challenge to Huffstetler to ride a
mile on the Jacksonville track before the
18th of September, as Mr.. Maxwell has to
return home by that time.
The Savannah riders met Mr.. Maxwell
and all were pleased with him. He and
his mate, w. T. Mixson. paced the Adams
Huffstetler match race, and also Conner
ats race for the one mile track record.
If Huffstetler accepts the challenge it
will be a very interesting race.
A dispatch to the Morning News from
Jacksonville last night states: To-day ac-
ceptance of challenge by Huffstetler was
received. and Sept. named as the date
Of race.
Maxwell feels confident he can defeat
the Orlando crack.

KNIGHTS TO PARADE TO-DAY.
The Uniform Rank, X. of p, to OBJ
serve an Anniversary.

The Uniform Rank, X. of p, to OBJ
serve an Anniversary.
The three divisions of the Uniform
Rank knights of Pythias in this city
will observe the twelfth anniversary of
that rank to-day by parade through
the streets and a drill or dress parade
at the Park extension. The divisions
that will take part are as follows:
DuGuesclin. Division No. l. Charles A.
Cox, sir knight captain.
Teutonia division. No. g. George Witte.
sir knight captain.
Savannah division. No. Is. ]. f. Cam.
sir knight captain.
Sir Knight Maj. John Juchter win be
in command. r. +. Harmon, colonel COM
manding of the regiment, will be present.
The knights will meet at their hail at
4:30 O'Clock and then start out at about
o'clock p. m. for the parade. After
that they will assemble at the Park ex-
tension, it is probable, for a dress parade
and short drill, if the weather and time
permits.
1t was proposed at one time to make
this q grand occasion and invite the Flor
ida knights up and the balance Of the
Georgia members of the uniform rank.
A tournament was planned-on an ex-
tensive scale, but owing to the many
difficulties encountered 1t was given up,
and the knights determined to give only
a parade. 1t is expected that about 100
men will turn out. There Is considerable
rivalry among the divisions as to which
will turn out the most men.

THE STORM on THE GULF.
No Chances for Cool Wave for
Some Time Says Observer Smyth.

No Chances for a Cool Wave for
some Time Says Observer Smyth.
The storm situation on the gulf had
not changed materially last night when
the last reports were received at the
weather Observers Office here. II was
stin centered in the western gulf, south
Of Galveston and southeast OF Corpus
Christi, and had increased slightly in
energy during the past twenty-four
hours. Galveston reported heavy winds.
thirty-two miles per hour being the max
imum. with a rainfall during the past
twelve hours OF 3.54 inches. This is a
heavy fall Of rain.
Corpus Christi reported a maximum
wind velocity OF thirty-eight miles.
Forty miles per hour is called a gale
by the weather bureau service. so IL
viii be seen that Corpus Christi had no
need Of fans yesterday. ClOudiness pre-
vailed through the gulf states, and rains
were reported in the lower MississipI4
valley and along the western gulf coast.
Jacksonville, Fla, and Washington, d.
C, took the palm yesterday for heat,
the thermometer registering Sc at both
places. Savannah, Augusta, Norfolk and
Philadelphia, 81; Charleston, 92s New
York, indianapolis, Nashville and St.
Louis, 80; New Orleans and Pensacola.
IS; Atlanta and Cincinnati s.; Boston,
so; St. Paul, 76; Chicago, IS; Detroit, 6.
The relative humidity in Savannah yes
terday was IS per cent. The mean tenn
perature for the day was 5 degrees in
excess OF the normal AS a sop to the
popular feeling that this has been hot
summer it may be well to state right here
that there is now a deficiency of about
ASP degrees Of temperature since Jan. I.
And this, outstanding that Observer
Smyth has caught up g. degrees this
month, that being the excess in August
so far.
when viii you catch up the remain
ing 4S2 degrees?" asked the perspiring re-
porter of the observer yesterday
''Oh, well, don't be alarmed. 1t has been
up and let out again some time next
would be appreciated" The reporter
agreed with him as to this course, and
doubtless Mr.. Smith will take that meth
Cd of getting even.
The observer stated in answer to a
question as to a cold wave in the dim
future, that no such good fortune awaited
Savannah yet awhile
Il would be glad to predict even a cool
wave, let alone a cold one" replied he,
laughing, but the cold and cool waves
seem TO be in hiding as yet. However,
this hot spell cannot last much longer"
During this month, so far, there have
been sixteen days with the thermometer
above 30. That's a record for any signal
Office to be proud of.
