Tue piece was entitled "Trilby," and was a resume of Du Maurier's novel by Bowery boy. It was cleverly rendered, and convulsed the hearers with laughter. Alter a pleasant hour at cards supper was served, and then the gymnasium was cleared for dancing.

THOSE CIGAR MAKERS.
Orders to Oeport the Seyen-The Others Not
 to Be Found.

Washington, July 20.-Commissioner- General Stump today telegraphed Immi- grant Agent Bethel at Tampa Fla, to at once deport the seven Cuban cigarmak- CTS, now in his custody to Cuba. These men are part of a lot of eighty cigar makers who came from Cuba last winter and were ordered to be deported last February because they came to this coun- try under contract They took the mat ter into the courts, which decided that it had no jurisdiction in the matter and that the decision of the secretary of the treasury as to what constituted an alien contract laborer was final
 While the matter was in the courts the cigarmakers dispersed and only seven of the the original eighty have been found. Commissioner Bethel endeavored to carry out the original order to deport them, but the Plant company's steamer which plies between Key West, Tampa and other Florida ports and Cuba, and which had originally brought the men to this country, declined to receive them on board its vessels. MT. Stump's telegram of today directs Commissioner Bethel to consult with the United States district at torney of the Southern district of Flor ida and pu the debarred cigarmakerS aboard one of the Plant steamers bound for Havana. If the officers of the vessel decline to receive them, it having been reported that they will take this position, then he is instructed to proceed under section 10 of the act Of aMrch 3 lS91.
 This section provides that a vessel that brings immigrants to this country who are subsequently ordered to be de- ported shall at their own expense re- turn the debarred immigrants to the countries whence they came" Upon refusal to do this the vessel shall be fined $500 for each immigrant so refused, and hnles the fine or fines are paid the vessel shall be refused clearance papers bysthe collector of customs. This section of the law, MT. Stump orders, shall be strictly enforced.
 Commissioner Bethel is further in- structed if the Plant company make a point of the fact that the men now or 1ered deported from Tampa were landed at Key West to send them to that port at the expense of the Plant company. If they make the further point that they are absolved from the provisions of section 10 from the fact that one year has elapsed since the men were first landed to take the position that he is carrying out the order of deportation of February last.
 MT. Stump says he is determined to enforce the law against cotract labor at all hazards

ish government during the past week and have caused considerable uneasiness to Spain for obvious reasons and to this government because it has been unable to locate the alleged expeditions or pre- vent their departure from the United States for Cuba
 The Spanish authorities have indi- cated lately through the press of that country and by other means that Spain would be perfectly willing to pay the Sl 50O,O0O demanded by this government as indemnity to Maxima Mora if the United States would make a more thor pugh effort to prevent flibustering ex- petitions from leaving this country to assist the Cuban insurgents fn their present struggle for independence This government has strenuously insisted that It IS doing all that can be done to en- force the neutrality laws, and cites the proclamation recently issued by the pres ldent as evidence of it's good faith in this respect. Now, however since the spanish council of state has decided to pay the Mora claim without delay this government feels that it is in the posi- ton to pay some heed to Spanish i'm portunity without seeming to do so con- ditionally upon the payment of the claim. ana 1t IS said that yesterdays meeting was called for the purpose of deyising means and ways to make more strenu- ouS efforts to satisfy Spain. Mr Olney will probably go at once to Gray Gables and report to the president the views of Messrs. Carlisle Harmon, Lamont mad Herbert, as indicated in the conference yesterday

A POLITICAL SENSATION
IT SPRINGS FROM THE RECENT ELECTION
The Stuck-T Thomas Contest Revived Startling Developments From a
 Salty Letter by Thomas.

Selma, July 2O.-(SpeciaL)-A political sensation will be sprung on the people of Selma in the papers tomorrow.
 In the democratic primary last April George A. Stuck and c. w. Hughes ran for councilman. Stuck was a ring demo- crat and was declared nominated. The anti-ring democrats claimed their man received a majority. Before the election star-chamber meeting was held by hold-over candidates and nominees. A slate for city offices to be elected by the council was made and Mr. Stuck was named for market clerk This enraged his opposers and they ran J. J. Thomas against him. The returns showed Stuck received a majority of twenty-seven. Stuck was seated.
 The opposition secured afiidavits show ing majority of two votes cast for Stuck and arranged for a contest. Here the proceeding stopped.
 At the council meeting last Wednes- day night Mr-,Stuch resigned his posi- ton as councilman and was immediate ly reelected.
 Tomorrow the Times and Journal will publish a letter from MT. Thomas, to- gether with correspondence between his attorney MT. R. D. Berry, and MT. Sucks attorney. Judge George H. Craig. and the affidavits of the men who voted for him. The letter of his attorney states that he, by instructions of his attorney. requested that no further action in the contest be taken, and promising that he would resign at the next meeting of the council and that he wished to avoid any costs. and also waived the time limit in which papers of contest were to be served.
 q now learn" the letter reads. that he has changed his mind and proposes to retain his seat. I will have nothing fur ther to do with the matter under the circumstances"
 Mr Thomas letter then continues: "How well MT. Stuck kept his agreement the public can judge from his silly sub terfuge in pretending to resign an office he was not elected to and attempting to have partisan council create vacancy already filled by election by the people and induct him into the office over the will of the people,"
 The letter ends with: "I have instructed my attorney to proceed in the case to unseat MT Stuck"
 It is understood that quo warranto proceedings will be instituted and that the managers of the election will be pros- ecuted.

BY A STICK OF DYNAMITE.
Five Negroes Instantly Killed Near Waco, Tex The Sequel of Tragedy Two
 Months Ago.

St. Louis, July 20.-A special to the Chronicle from Waco, Tex, says that a frightful tragedy occurred this morning at Mart, small village in that county, twenty miles distant, in which five ne- groes were killed and one seriously wounded. Two months ago a dispute arose between Phillips negro, and Phil Arnold, white, both farmers, in which the latter shot and killed the former and was in turn killed by Phillips youngest son. The tragedy of this morning Is the se- quel. Since Phillips was killed the feeling has been bitter with their friends and both have been threatened with exter- imitation. This morning the entire town was aroused by @ loud report from the house of Mrs. Phillips, widow of the ne- gro killed by Arnold, which was in flames. A stick of dynamite had been thrown into the building, blowing it to pieces and setting fire to the wreck. There were six negroes in the building at the time. five being killed. But one person escaped and it is thought he will die. Officers have gone to the scene.

The Jlc son Primary.

Jackson, Miss, July 20.-The primary in this county today was the hottest election experienced since 1888, when the famous committee of 10as issued their red circular, ornamented with a grinning skull and cross bones, and swore their determination to wrest the reinS or mu- nicipal government of Jackson from the republicans. which they did, the negroes declining to face Winchester rifles just for the empty honor of voting. There have been no Winchesters or other guns today. The big cannon was not even fired to let the negroes know there was going to be fair election" as in olden times, but the scramble for votes has been the livliest ever had among Jack son democrats It was a family fight for nominations which are equal to elections and every inch of ground was hotly con- tested. The primary was to select can didateS for county offices, to express choice for United States senator to sue ceed Senator George and to select dele gates in turn to the state convention. Hinds county is not greedy at all, but It so happens she has seven candidates TOT state offices and the contest has been over these latter.
 The senatorship has been lost sight of in the scuff1e. and votes for senator were eagerly traded for votes for beat con stables or magistrates. One half or the city is pulling for Attorney-General Johnston to give him the single indorse- ment of the emplre county or HlnuS' while the other Is filing that proposition in the interest of J. l.. Power, candidate for secretary of state, and the chances are about even.
 This having been the home of Ex-Con- gressman Hooker for forty years it is probable he carries the county for the United States senate, with Ex-Governor Lowrey second. The order may be re- versed. however. as the governor is pop ular with all classes and has antagoniZed no faction of the party The county precincts have not been heard from and nothing definite Is known a s to senator or members of the legislature. Enough has been learned. though. to indicate that Governor Stone. the sound money cand- date for the senatorship is showed un- der.
 News from other counties is to the ef- feet that McLaurn's record is unbroken. He has been indorsed for governor in ev- cry county that has spoken so far, and it begins to look like he will white wash his opponent

It Is Understood That the Cuban Questio

Washington. July 2O-Yesterday's spe cial cabinet meeting. for which Secretary Olney made a flying trip from Massach setts is the most interesting topic of dis cussion today, for definite information as to the object of the meeting is not forth coming. MT. Olney was at the state de. partment for about an hour this after noon in consultation with Secretary La mont, leaving there at 10:30 o'clock for the Pennsylvania railroad station, where he took train at Il a. m. for Boston Senor Dupuy de Lome, the Spanish min ister, who also arrived in Washington yesterday unexpectedly, also had a con- versation of twenty minutes duration with MT. Olney and MT. Lamont
 MT. Olney did not confide to any of the state department officials, excepting Act ing Secretary Adee, the object of the cabinet conference, at which MT. Adee was present a short time. In the absence, however, of any positive statement it is pretty generally understood that the meeting was based on the embarrassment of the United States in the emphatic ac- cusation of the Spanish government that this country is not enforcing the neutral ity laws with enough vigor. Reports that filibustering expeditions are being or ganized for service in Cuba have reached both the state department and the Span-

Victims in Chicago.
 Chicago, July 20.-All last night two de- tectives were engaged in digging in the basement of the building 701 Sixty-third street in search of the bodies of Minnie Williams and her sister, who it is ru- mored, last winter were murdered by Dr. H. H. Holmes, now under arrest in Phila- delphia charged with the murder of Ben jam.n Pitezel. After two hours of digging an old stove was uncovered and in the fire box was found a quantity of charred human bones and part of a watch chain formerly owned and worn by Minnie Williams.
 New evidence of the murder was Fitzpatrick, in whose charge the house was left whensthe detectives left off ex- cavating last night, was looking around the building this morning when he dis covered in an ash heap the charred re- mains of a woman's high French heeled buttoned shoe and also a piece of gross grain silk about inches square. These bits of woman's clothing are supposed to have belonged to one of the Williams girls, but there was nothing on either by which 1t might have been identified.
 When a thorough overhauling of the premises once occupied by Holmes has been made the house at Sixty-sixth and Halsted streets will be systematically searched. This is the house in which Anna Williams dwelt for a while. and the officers expect to find there some subv stantial proof that she was murdered In her own residence.
 Holmes, it is said, divided his time about equally between this house and the one at Wallace and Sixty-thfrd, now un- der investigation. --..-...

 Brute

St. Helens, Ore, July 20.--A mob of twenty men, bent on vengeance on rape fiend. visited the county jail last night but found the man they were after had been quietly smuggled out Of the coun- ty by the authorities, who took him to Portland for safe keeping. The man is Ira J. Kench. who recently came here from Missouri, and the crime on which he is held is most atrocious, and 1t was committed on an invalid s'ster-in-law
 While his brother was away from home he took advantage of his brothers wife, who had new born babe by her side and who is in delicate condition, and nearly killed her. Every attempt was made to keep the horrible affair quiet, but when the news leaked out the infu- riated neighbors started out to take the law in their own hands.
