likely to occur owing to a change caused
by the last election, Senator voorhees,

Senator Morrill, at the beginning of next

II do not, of course, know what course

Gov.-GEN. EMILIO CALLEJA, of Cuba

minister of foreign affairs addressed
the Cortes. The significance of Gen
eral Campos' speech lay in its con-
ciliatory tone, showing his purpose was
to avoid bloodshed. 1t was also
brought out that while he would keep
free from party entanglements in
Cuba, he was strongly inclined toward
the autonomist or conservative ele-
ment, and depends on them to resist
separation from Spain.
81 am in hope said General cam
pos, that when L arrive in Cuba, the
war will be over, for l have no Wish
for that kind of glory"
He expressed the hope that the vari-
Gus political parties of Cuba would be
inspired to assist him in putting down
the uprising. II will do everything"
said he, toward seeing that no party
whatever shall exercise its influence
against the autonomistic element"
1t was coincidence that the autono-
mist party held meeting in
Havana, passing resolutions of well
come to Campos. and pronouncing
against a separation from the mother
country. The principles of the
autonomists are for home-rule in Cuba,
similar to home-rule in Canada and
other British colonies. but not absolute
separation from SPAIN IL is judged
from General Campos' speech, he will
take this middle course of home-rule
without entire separation from the
mother country. The report that
President Marti would promulgate the
constitution of the revolutionists today,
and then come TO the United States to
secure recognition is received with
some doubt by those IN Washington
personally acquainted with Marti, and

INTERESTING TESTS MADE AT IN
DIAN HEAD.
Shells That Will Pierce Armor-
Plates and Burst Inside of the
Vessel Fired At.

Washington, April 10-There Were sev-
eral interesting tests at the naval prov
ing grounds at Indian Head today First
came an acceptance test of a semi-arnlor-
piercing 13-inch shell, carrying large ex-
plosive charge, and representing a lot of
nifty such shells. This was required to
pierce a finch nickel steel Plate and
carry it's burst charge through in condi-
ton to explode on the other side. The
shell tested today was of the Sterling
type, and completely met the conditions
imposed. 1t was made of forged steel and
penetrated the plate without sensible de-
formation or fracture of the shell. Next
came a test of fixed ammunition for six
inch rapid-fire gun, the largest gun OF this
type intended for naval use.
A few days ago some tests we're made
of the service percussion fuse for skeIis
of the five-ipch guns when fired at two
inch steel armor plates The fuse then
carried them through the plates before
exploding. There were further expert
ments today to settle an important POINT
that had been left unsettled: namely, the
distance that the shells carried beyond
the plate before exploding A plate was
supported on piles over The water. Behind
this stakes were placed "a intervals or six
feet, and an observer was stationed to
one side to note where inc explosions oc-
Cured. 1t was seen thai the Shells af.er
perforating the plate, burst at distances
ranging from 10 to 13 feet in the lear.
This was exactly what was wanted, as II

ONE MORE SUIT.
INCOME TAX is AGAIN TO BE At
Tackled.
An Action in Equity Brought By
Charles Allen Against the Illinois
Central Railroad.

New York, April 1o-Another suit to
contest the constitutionaIity of the in
come tax has been instituted in the cir
cult court here. It is an action in equity
brought by Charles Allen, of Greenfield,
Mass, against the Illinois Central Rail
road company ct al.
In his bill of complaint the complain
ent, after setting forth the organization
of the railroad company, the amount of
personal property held by it and other
matters in relation thereto, declares that
tends to pay under the provisions of the
income tax law a tax of per cent. on
all its net profits and income for the

OF, the Same being real estate, and is
likewise direct tax in respect of Its
personal property, by being imposed upon
the income and profits thereof, which di-
rect taxes are not apportoned among the
several states, as required by the consti-
tuition of the United States.
The uniformity of the law is then
pointed out at length, after which the
bill declares that the exemption of in
surance companies, savings banks and
Institutions constructed on the mutual
plan, etc, is unconstitutional in that
these exemptions operate to arbitrarily
free said companies from the payment of
their just proportion of taxation.
The bill further sets forth that the
tax is unconstitutional for the reason
that it impairs vested property rights
The complainant therefore prays that
the defendants be restrained from yolun-
tarily complying with the income tax
law, and that he be grained such other
relief as the court, may deem, meet.

New York, April 10-Dr. ]. II. NORMAN,

of villagers called to see him and his
wonderful machine. He spoke to them

heard that he had been killed in the
vicinity of village named Kurdall
which is one of three villages LEM would
have to pass in crossing the mountains
to the Delibaba pass. 1t is the first vii
iage he would reach, and is five miles
from the Armenian village Zebikan.

Startling Stories From the Port of
BaracOa.

Philadelphia, April 1O.-Some start
ling details of the successful efforts of
the insurgents to gain entrance into
the port of Baracoa. on the north side
of Cuba, and the wreck of the small
British schooner that brought them to
the entrances of the place, the shooting
Of her master by the Spanish soldiers
and the Imprisonment of her entire
crew, was told by the officers of the
Norwegian steamship Spero, which ar
rived today from that port Excite
ment runs high at Raracoa and the
majority of the residents of that place
seem to sympathize with the insur
gents. The large number that were
landed on the British schooner which
foundered before her name could be
learned, made good their escape after
a hot fight with the Spanish soldiers,
fifteen of whom were dangerously
wounded and are in the hospital. This
occurred on April 1, but up to the time
the Spero left none of them had been
captured, and they are supposed to be
proceeding overland to FL Cobre, out
side of Santiago. the scene of most Of
the Instruction.
The condition of affairs in Baracoa,
which is the centre of nearly all the
banana plantations of northern Cuba,
is assuming serious shape, and nearly
the service of the revolutionary army
over 100 men gave up work the day
the Spero left and Joined the ranks of
the insurgents. The harbor of Bara-
Goa is being watched by the Spanish
gunboat Espana and any further land
ing of troops from the insurgent forces
at this point will probably be pre-
vented.
One of the passengers said that the
shooting of the. English captain was
an accident, as it happened while he
was being taken to- jail by the Spanish
soldiers He was shot through the
head and died instantly. No one in
Baracoa seemed to know his name
nor the name of the vessel he COM
manded. The sailors who were on
board have all been cast into dun
geons at Baracoa and are being closely
guarded.
The insurgents that were on board
the schooner were we'll armed and sup
piled with a lot of gold. The distance
over land to Santiago is not far, but
the country is mountainous in this
locality and they. would not be able to
reinforce the insurgent forces for a
week or ten days.

Pomeroy, O., April 10.-At 3 p. m.
400 strikers and sympathizers irons
Syracuse, New Haven, Hartford City,
Mason and Pomeroy. massed at
Minersville, ito persuade or force
the non-union men working in the
Williams mine to lay down their
tools and come out. They formed in
the street to the mine and formed to
await the appearance of the miners,
as they came out at the close of the
days work, being forbidden by the
operators to trespass on private
grounds. At o'clock the men came
out and were met by a committee of
seven of the strikers, who used per-
Suasive means to induce them to join
the strikers.
For two hours the twenty-three
men held out stubbornly with the 400
strikers massed about them on
vacant lot.
They were assured by Master Work
man Eli Thomas that they would be
amply cared for in case they Joined
the strikers.
Once a riot was nearly started by
Mrs. Manly, wife of the leader Of the
non-union men, parading up and
down the street with a revolver under
her apron and declaring she would
shoot the first man that molested her.
Finally the non-union men agreed to
join the strikers. This announcement
was greeted by cheers and volley of
pistol shots into the air. All parties
were armed, and made no attempt to
conceal the fact. The affair has ended
most fortunately in that there was no
bloodshed as expected.
An assault will be made on the
Peecock mine Saturday. it being now
the only mine in the Bend not paying
the cent rate. One hundred and
four men are working there.
