NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-A dispatch

There is more general comment in
London over the Venezuelan con.
troversy, than upon its possible eff
feet on Lord Dunraven's reception
in New York. He has been seri-
ously advised by friends not to go,
lest he might not only be subjected
to ill-treatment from excited New
York patriots, but lest his sus-
tanned accusation Of fraud against
the Defender syndicate might lead
to serious international complica-
tions--might indeed, serve as a
spark to the finder blazing into &C.
tual warfare. Nevertheless the

dents telegraph report is that his
lordship, Arthur Glennie and Geo.

WHEELMEN's ASSEMBLY,
Will Meet in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Changes Proposed.

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-Any
amount Of discussion has been
aroused as to where the meeting Of
the l.. A. w. national assembly
would be held. Word has been re-
ceived from President A. G. Will
SON that the session will take place
in Baltimore, the majority Of the
delegates leaving voted in favor Of
that place. 1t will be remem bered
that President Wilson gave 1t
out some time ago as his intention
to call the meeting for st. Louis,
but the storm of opposition that
followed the announcement caused
him to refer the selection OF the
place to the consuls of the various
divisions. A strong attempt was
made to have New York named,
but it was unsuccessful. Many i'm.
portant matters will come before
the assembly and it promises to be
the most momentous in the history
OF the national cycling body. The
proposition to strike out the words
"White" aud "Amateur' from the
constitution and also substitute
"Cyclists" instead of "Wheelmano
will excite debates innumerable.
The racing problem will occupy
some time. "Even if the national
assembly does not relieve the l.,
A. w. of the control of racing"
said /. B. Potter, last night, "it is
almost certain to decide upon the
adjustment of class b. Two clas-
ses-amateurs and professionals
are named and class B., will die a
merited death. Its usefulness is
over and the sooner it is buried tho
better"

Murdered His Divorced Wife.

ST.. LOUIS, Dec. 20.-The dead
body OF Irene w. Moser, aged 81,
who was about to become mother,
was found on the street late last
night. She had been stabbed to
the heart and instantly killed. The
girl worked in a tobacco factory,
supporting herself and three chill
dren, from whose father she was
divorced a few months ago because
of his cruelty and shiftlessness. He
had made several attempts to kill
her before, and had threatened
that when he was released he
would do it. The police at once
made search for Moser, and at an
early hour this morning he was
captured in his mothers house on
Grove street. He was locked up
in the Fourth district station. He
the murder, and says he
was led to the act by jealousy.

sEDUCED BIS COUSIN
And 20 Fave Himself Shot Her Dead
in Her Chair.

LEXINGTON, KY, Dec. 20.-One
OF the most terrible assasisinations
ever known in Kentucky was the
murder Of Anna Belle Steinberger,
by her cousin BROKER teiuberger,
at her home in the southers part
of Barren county Wednesday
night about 10 O'clock. The shot
was fired through a window tear
ing large hole through the girls
head and scattering her brains
over the floor. She was reading at
the time and still held the book
in her hand when the other men,
bers of the family rushed into the
room and found her dead. Sus-
picion at once pointed to her own
cousin, Booker Steinberger, and a
deputy sheriff visited his home
this morning. Finding evidence
OF guilt he placed Steinberger I'M
der arrest, lodging him jail at
Glasgow. Excitement runs high
and he will doubtless be lynched.
In his pocket was found letter
the contents of which created a
sensation in the neighborhood. 1t
was from Annie Belle and charged
him with having taken advantage
of her last week. 1t requested him
to marry her at once and save her
honor. The Steinberger families
are prominent and the affair has
caused a tremendous sensation.

KEY WEST, Fla, Dec. 20.-Ad-
vices from Havana state that
Campos will make desperate efforts
to break the power Of the insur-
gents. He has determined to force
the fighting because of urgent or
ders from Madrid. The cabinet
has informed Campos that unless
decisive victory is won over the in
surgents Immediately, it will be
impossible for Spain to produce
money to maintain her army on
the island. The minister OF finance
has said that the Spanish treasury
is empty, and the insurgents have
made such a showing that it is i'm
possible to float new loan in any
European capital.
In view of this, Campos is plainly
told unless the rebellion is broken
shortly, Spain had as well with
draw from the island. Campos
has therefore resolved upon heroic
measures. He, it is said, has in
structed the Spanish officers to
give no quarters to Cubans in
arms, and to treat noD-comb atants
as mercilessly as in the last revo-
luton. Much excitement prevails
in Havana over the report that
great battle will occur near Ma
tsnzas within twenty-four hours.
1t was stated that 1000 Spaniards
under Gen. Panmo were facing
5000 Cubans under Maceo, and
news of collision is momentarily
expected.
