Spaniards Literally Cut to Pieces in an
Encounter With Cubans.
KEY WEST, Fla, April 30.-Advices
received here by steamer from Cuba
state that near Guantano on the 10Th
inst there was a fierce battle between
band Of 200 Spanish troops and the
insurgents. The Spanish troops We're
greatly outnumbered and they We're
literally cut to pieces. Only four OF
five Of them escaped to tell the tale. It
is said that the insurgents gave no
quarter. Orders had been given to
take no prisoners and the insurgents
butchered 200 Spanish soldiers with
their machetes. Near Ramon de Las
Juques a day or two later there
was an engagement in which it
is said that the Spanish were roughly
handled. Major Tejerizo, who COM
manded the Spanish troops, and several
other officers were wounded and Cap
tain Miranda killed.
There are 10 bands of insurgents in
the province Of Puerto Principe. Sew
eral expeditions friendly to the in.
surgents have landed Oh that island.
The Spanish government is making
more rigid the censorship of the press
and telegraph. The Spanish paper La
Discission was fined $1,000 for pub
fishing the news of the landing Of

Uncle Sam Dependent ON Britain in Carib-
bean Waters.
WAsH1NGToN, April 30.-The recent
experience of Admiral Meade in his
cruise with squadron through the
waters of, the Gulf of Mexico and the
Caribbean sea has served to again at
tract the attention of the officials Of the
navy department. to the necessity Of
acquiring at least one OF. two coaling
stations in those waters for the iuse of
the navy. Although the cruise lasted
only a few weeks the difficulty of pro-
curing q sufficient supply Of coal at
different points and at reasonable
prices has strikingly indicated the
trouble that may be expected when it
shall be necessary to. maintain for long
periods Of time or perhaps permanently
a number of cruising gunboats in those
waters. Such a contingency is being
prepared for by the construction Of a
number of boats calculated for just such
service The sources Of coal supply in
that section are at present largely in
British possessions. The price is al
ways high in some ports, but it is very
much higher in others, being known to
reach to $15 ton at Colon at times.

EMPHASIZES OUR POSITION.
Government Vessels Will Keep Away
from Corinto Entirely.

Government Vessels Will Keep Away
from Corinto Entirely.
WASHINGTON, April 80. The Monte
rey, which has been lying at Acapulco
for few days past, has sailed from
that port to Panama. Some surprise
has been manifested in naval circles
that she is not to touch at Corinto al
though she goes right by that port on
her way to Panama. The distance
from Acapulco to Panama is 400 miles
and Corinto lies almost midway be-
tween these points. A naval officer
speaking OF the fact that the Monterey
will not stop at Corinto, said that the
Nicaraguan affair was evidently one in
which the United States was not going
to mix.
In this connection attention is
called to the fact that Sunday the
Raleigh sailed from Jamaica to Key
West and there is not now any other in
the Nicaraguan waters on the Atlantic
side. This is said to be in order to call
attention more sharply than ever to the
position Of the United States, and to
warn any United States citizens in
Nicaragua that they will not be sup
ported in taking party in existing
troubles; and that the United States
will not be placed in a position Of max
Ing a demonstration of force during
the embroglio.

SENATOR MORGAN's OPINION.

Nicaraeua's Right to Close the Port Of
Corinto Undoubted.
WASHINGTON, April 30.-In speaking
of the action of Nicaragua in making
Corinto closed port Senator Morgan
said:
'Nicaragua's right to close the port
is undoubted. Every nation has the
power to designate ports Of entry and
to change them al. will. To land goods
at Corinto while it is closed would be
smuggling, and the payment of duties
to the British authorities would not
alter the fact. AS soon as the goods
were taken into the interior the
Nicaraguan forces would seize them
and either confiscate them or compel
the payment Of fresh duties and would
be perfectly justified in doing so. She
could not exclude our goods because
our treaty with her prevents it, but she
could exclude Great Britain's because
the latter has made war on her, and
thus has abrogated all treaties be-
tween them."

Are the Instructions of Ambassador Eustis
Regarding Walters Case.
PARIS, April 30.-The United States
ambassador, the Hon. James B. Eustis,
has received very pointed and definite
instructions from Washington regard
ing the case of John L. Waller, now
imprisoned in France on a two years
sentence, imposed by a courtmartial on
the ground that he was in communica-
ton with the Hovas. Mr.. Eustis has
verbally and in writing communicated
his instructions to the French minister
of foreign affairs, but the latter has not
yet replied to these communications.
The foregoing would indicate that
the United States government has re-
ceived from Madagascar the report of
the United States consul there in re-
gard to Mr.. Waller's case, and that the
conclusions drawn from it justify such
Intervention, and that it will possibly
result in free and joint inquiry.

killing of His Brother-in-Law Believed to
Be Justifiable.
MILWAUKEE, April 30.-Ex-City At
torney Robert Luscombe was formally
placed under arrest during the after
noon, charged with murder in the first
degree for shooting his brother-in-law,
Emil A. Sanger, brother OF the cham
pion bicyclist, Saturday night The
prisoner was released on $4,000 bail.
Public sympathy seems to be with Lus-
combe and hundreds Of leading citizens
called upon him at the police station to
offer assistance and advice Even some
of the members of the Sanger family do
not show any great resentment, know
ing as they did that the murdered man
had cruelty beaten his wife and threat
ened to kill Luscombe. When Sanger
went to the Luscombe homestead at
Grand avenue and Fifteenth street,
where his wife had taken refuge with
her brother and mother after he had
beaten her, he carried heavy cane,
but no revolver, but when he stepped
up to the door and tried to force an ell
trance Luscombe shot him through a
heavy plate glass. His head was liter
ally filled with the pieces and he died
instantly.

Work on Income Tax Returns to Begin in
Earnest This Week.
WASHINGTON, April 30.-The officials
having charge of the income tax mat
ters for some days past have had little
to do except to contemplate the rush of
work which is expected to begin next
Wednesday. On that day collectors of
customs have been instructed to send
in all income tax returns that have at
that time been examined and tabu-
lated, and that on May Is all the re-
naming returns be sent in. 1t is prob
able that the returns which will begin
to arrive Oh May will comprise fully
three-fourths of the whole, and from
that time on for several months the in
come tax bureau

The returns that came in prior to the
decision of the supreme court have
nearly all been returned to the collect
ors to be corrected in conformity with
the courts decision, so that there are
Tess than 500 returns in the department
at the present time. Late information

large percentage of the heavier tax pay
ers have failed to make any returns
whatever. In some instances the rea-
son for this failure is undoubtedly care
lessness, as is shown by the large num-
ber of persons who sent in their returns
after the time limit had expired, but
the action Of by far the greater number
is believed to have been deliberate.
The percentage of this latter class is
estimated as high as one-fourth Of the

the entire country a conservative esti.
mate is 25 per cent. The officials are
hopeful of favorable change in the
opinion of the supreme court as result
OF the re-hearing, and are specially sc
asto the main proposition. In the event

GREAT BITTERNESS

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, via Galveston,
April 30.-The commander of the Mica

British flag was still floating over the
public buildings Of Corinto and that the
port remained in possession of the
British warships. Among the Mica

against Great Britain is increasing in
bitterness every hour. The Nicaraguan

should the latter make an attempt to
cross from Corinto to the main land be-
hind it. Steps have been taken to de-
stroy means of communication with
the interior should such action be found
necessary. The British consulate in
this city remains under guard in view
OF the rioting and stone throwing
which have already occurred and in
anticipation of further trouble. Some
of the European consuls here are using
their good Offices with the government
Of Nicaragua in an attempt to persuade
the latter to submit to Great Britain,
pleading in support of their arguments
the fact that the United States had de-
termined to remain neutral and that
Nicaragua is helpless when opposed to
such power as Great Britain.
Telegraphio Communication Interrupted.
Although the Nicaraguan forces op-
posite Corinto are in communication
with the capital, actual telegraphic
communication with Corinto remains
interrupted, and it is thought likely
there will be no attempt to repair the
telegraph lines SO long as the British
remain in possession of the port. In
spite Of reports to the contrary, the
people of Nicaragua generally sustain
the government in the stand which it
has taken against Great Britain, and
although in all probability Nicaragua
may eventually be compelled to pay the
indemnity demanded, it is believed the
trade of Great Britain with Nicaragua
and other Central American republics
will suffer in consequence Of the action
of the British fleet at Corinto
The British squadron, Rear Admiral
Stephenson commanding, arrived at
Corinto April 20 and on the following
day communicated with the govern
ment Of Nicaragua requiring compliance
with the British ultimatum, demand
ing the payment Of $4,000 as indem-
nifty for the expulsion from Nicaragua
Of the British consular agent at Blue
fields, Mr.. Hatch, and other British
subjects. When the Nicaraguan gov
ernment refused to comply with these
demands the British on Saturday morn
ing occupied Corinto in spite of the
protest of the Nicaraguan authorities
and the troops Of Nicaragua retired
from the island of Corinto and occu-
pied portions on the main land which
are now being strengthened and REIN
forced. The British governor in COM
mand at Corinto has charge of the
custom house, but as the Nicaraguan
government has declared the port
closed it is difficult to see how he will
be able to collect customs dues there.

FOR A NEW DOLLAR
A Detroit Republican Organ
Has a Cure for All
Financial Ills.
USE BOTH GOLD AND SILVER
One Metal Expected to Just
Balance the Other in
FluCtuatiOn.

DETROIT, April 30.-The Tribune
(Rep.) publishes an editorial leader
which will declare in favor Of the solu-
ton of the present money question by
the Issuance of a new dollar to be COM
posed of proportional parts of gold and
silver. The article quotes the national
platforms Of 1883 and 1892 in favor of
bimetallism and points out the dangers
of practical silver monometallism
through the throwing open of the mints
to unlimited coinage. Continuing The
Tribune advocates the composite dollar
as measure easiest to effect and with
plan suggested. It proposes:
''That all existing coinage laws be re-
pealed and that there be enacted a law
creating new American dollar, which
should become the standard coin of the
nation, this dollar to be composed of
2064 grains of standard silver and
Ii 9-10 grains Of standard gold, fused
together and struck into handsome
coin about the size of the present half
dollar.
"The coin would be of absolutely
stable value, for in case OF disparity at
any time in the commercial value OF
silver, what was lost by the deprecia-
ton Of one metal would be made up by
the exactly corresponding appreciation
of the other"
AS to the question whether the pro.
posed dollar would be suitable for ex-
port, The Tribune says: 1t would not
be necessary to export the coin while
uncoined gold could be secured which
would be just as available. Ii at any
time it became necessary to separate
the gold from the silver it could be
done at the United States mint at cost
of less than per cent. This very cost
would be precaution against the ex-
port Of coin while uncoined bullion was
attainable.
