no terms have been agreed upon. Dealers
persist that the hay has been sold at an
actual loss OF 50 cents a ton, and that the
sales have not increased perceptibly since
the reduction.

Raleigh, N. c., Sept. 1.-THE conference
of populists, at which Senator Butler pre-
sided. to-day decided to indorse the non
partisan state silver convention called
by democrats TO meet here Sept 25.
The following was issued, signed by
Senator Butler, as member of the ma
tional committee, and 3. r. Keith, as
vice president of the Memphis silver con,
vention: "A call having been made for a
non-partisan state free silver convention
uniting all persons Of all popular parties
who favor free, independent and unlimited
coinage of silver and gold into full legal
tender dollars at the ratio Of 15 to /, and
inasmuch as such convention will be on
the line of the Memphis silver convention
and win tend to get all true friends of
silver together under one banner to fight
the foreign gold trust and it's American
tory allies; therefore, we favor the hold
ing of such silver convention and cali
upon honest money, free silver clubs Of
the state and all other persons who favor
the objects Of said clubs to attend"

INDEMNITY MONEY PAID.
Division of the Money Paid by Me
arngua TO British Subjects.

Washington. Sept. 1L-In dispatches to
the state department. dated Aug % and
"a. Consul O'Hara of San Juan del Norte
Nicaragua. announces the distribution Of
the indemnity Of fl5,OoO paid by the gov
ernment of Nicaragua in response to the
British demand for damages because Of
the Bluefields affair.
The Bluefelds Recorder claims that
Some of the persons indemnifed owe no
allegiance to England" The amounts re-
ceived by individuals range from 900 to
H,500, the British vice consul. Edwin
Hatch, receiving the latter amount.
Inasmuch as the original British de-
mand was for fl5,0O0 as smart money"
to be paid for the insult TO the British
flag in the person OF Vice Consul Hatch
and left the question Of damages to
Hatch and other British subjects in their
private capacities to be subject to further
arbitration, this dispatch would seem to
indicate that the British government ka3
abandoned its original intention OF press
ing further claims and was willing TO
rest content with the payment of the f15,-
600 demanded by the British fleet.

Miss Lamont did not remember such re-

weight. That Durrants counsel win make
the imprObability that he was physically
able to carry Blanche's body TO the spot
where IL was found. one of its main lines
of defense is now certain. In consonance
with this, they fought to-day TO keep out
all evidence that would show her to have
been of lighter weight than 40 pounds.
Maud Lamont testified that last Septem-
Der her sister weighed ll5 pounds, and had
since gained about seven pounds. This
testimony was eXpunged from the re-
cords as Incompetent
A witness will be produced by the pros
ecution who weighed Blanche and he Will
testify that her weight was less than 40
pounds.
Maud Lamont identified the chip dia-
mond ring offered for sale by man sup
posed to be Durrant few DAYS after the
murder. She said it was given her Christ
mas, three years ago, and that she had
given to Il Blanche last year. Blanche
had worn it up 10 the time of her dsap-
pearance.
Durrants chirogrophy viii be a mate
rial factor in the case. The prosecution
will seek to show by expert testimony
that its characteristics are to be found
in the address and names written on the
paper in which the dead girls rings We're
enclosed when they were sent back TO her
aunt ten days after the murder.
The prosecution will. tomorrow. begin
its work Of tracing Durrant on the day Of

osceola, Ark, Sept. 11.--Mrs. Rhea. liv-
ing near here, was murdered and robbed
by two negroes.
WIN Caldwell was plowing in a field
near her house, and was approached by
an old negro, who told him that Mrs.
Rhea had a sum OF money in the house
and to go and kill her and return TO work
and he would get the money. Caldwell
went to the house, murdered the woman
with a club, and then returned TO his
work. The other negro went TO the
house and secured the money. Caldwell
was arrested and confessed. When he
came into the room where she was with
club i'm his hand, and approached her
she attempted to get a revolver off the
mantel. He got II fret, struck her over
the head several times and left. Caldwell
was taken from the deputy sheriff and
hanged to a limb, and then riddled with
bullets. The old man was arrested, but

Maxine Gomez Defeats Spanish
Troops After AS Hours Fighting.

Maxine Gomez Defeats Spanish
Troops After AS Hours Fighting.
Key West, Fla. Sept. n.-Passengers
arriving by the steamship Mascotte to-
night report that big battle has been
fought near Camaguey between the insur-
gents under Maxine Gomez and the
Spaniards under Gen. Mello. The battle
is said to have lasted forty-eight hours,
and the Spaniards were repulsed with
heavy loss, leaving over fifty killed and
wounded on the field.
Roloff's band has been active during the
last week. having blown up troop train
by dynamite near Santiago de Cuba and
bridge near Sagua. The Spaniards admit
that the train was blown up, but claim
that only FIVE men were killed. Advlces
received here state that nearly a hundred
soldiers were mangled by the explosion.
The harbor of Havana is almost desert
ed. When the Mascotte left for this port to-
day not ship of any kind could be seen
save those belonging to Spain, and they
were few.
A prominent cigar manufacturer, who
arrived tonight on the Mascotte, re-
ports tobacco very scarce and price high,
owing to the insurrection and to the fail
ure of the crop. The Vuelta Abajo dis
trIct is producing very few wrappers.
Wilmington, Del. Sept 1.-THE session
of the United States court to-day was
very brief. After a petty case had been
disposed of the court adjourned until
Wednesday, Sept. 49, The Cuban suspects
will have to wait another week while
awaiting the action of the grand jury,
which will continue at work. 1t is ex-
pected that considerable testimony will be
taken but the result will not be made
known until court meets next Wednesday.
Mobile Ala, Sept. 1.-Capt Webb of
the schooner Villo Y sHermano hence to
Cienfuegos. Cuba, with cargo of lumber,
writes to friend in this city that he was
much surprised upon arrival at his desti-
nation to find that he was suspected of be-
ing a filibusterer and that ever since he
has been unloading his cargo with two
customs officials on board the whole time.
He says that some one in this city wrote
to the collector of customs at Cienfuegos
