Reports From Spanish Sources
State That the Rebels Are
Killing Captives.
GENERAL MACEO WOUNDED.
Regular Soldiers in the Santiago de
Cuba Barracks Put to Death for
InSubordination.

BOSTON, Mass, Nov. pa special TO
morning paper from Havana states that
the Cuban war is beginning to assume
terrible ferocity, and that both sides show
disposition to put all civilized ethics
aside and to fall back upon the most bar
barous methods.
General Gomez had hardly given time
for his order that ali sugar-making should
cease at once to become known to the
planters before he had started to carry out
his order, and reports from the interior
state that the insurgents are wrecking the
plantations and burning the buildings.
All natives caught working on the planta-
tions are given the choice of entering the
insurgent army or being shot. Thus far
the destruction has been confined to the"
plantations owned by Cubans themselves. :
the insurgents having allowed the Ameri-
can plantations to remain unmolested.
According to reports received, however, 4
from Spanish sources, the insurgents arei
also treating prisoners with unnecessary
cruelty and shooting them without trial.
1t is said that they have taken this means
| of retaliation for the summary vengeance
wreaked on the bands of guerrillas cap
tured by General Campos and summarily
executed on the charge of having blown
up trains.
Another dispatch from Santiago de
Cuba says that the insurgents are every
where making material advances, and that
even the Gordon of warships will not prove
sufficient to prevent fillbustering expe-
ditions being landed. The news has also
reached that city that General Maceo was
badly wounded in the recent fighting near
Puerto Principe, and that in spite of the
fact that he keeps the field at the head of
his men, his wounds are causing him con-
siderable trouble and that he will have to
be confined to the hospital.
A number of soldiers of the garrison
were shot recently for insubordination,
and while the officials strive to hide it, the
mutinous spirit is spreading among the
men daily.

DALLAS, TEX, Nov. 24.-W. K. Whee-
lock, secretary of the Florida Athletic
Club, and since that organizations demise
in Texas closely associated with Dan A.
Stuart in a similar capacity, returned this
morning from Houston and Galveston,
where he went on Friday last on mission
for Mr.. Stuart to Martin Julian and Bob
Fitzsimmons. Mr. Wheelock said this
evening:
81 met Julian and Fitzsimmons at
Houston and they went with me far enough
into the Gulf of Mexico outside of Gal :
weston to be out of the jurisdiction of
Texas. 1 got them without any trouble
whatever to sign all the papers necessary
to insure a fight with Corbett, SO far as the
presence of Fitzsimmons is concerned, at
any time and place Dan Stuart can get
Corbett to agree to. Julian and Fitzsim-
mons satisfied me that Bob's side bet of
$4,000 would be all right if Corbett de-
sired to have that amount wagered on the
side.
81 expect Mr.. Stuart will start for New
York tomorrow. He will carry with him
documents which neither Corbett nor
Brady can object to with any show of
reason. feel confident Fitzsimmons and
Corbett will fight to finish for Dan
Stuart's purse OF $40, 600 and private side
bet of $4,000 each near Ell Paso just pre-
vious to or just after the coming holidays,
the date to be to the satisfaction of Cor
bett and Brady"

.EXTERM|NAT|NG THE SEAL
Startling Effect of Pelagic Sealing
Reported by Officers of
the Bear.
Slaughter of Females Resulting in the
Death of Their Young From
Starvation.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 24.-The
revenue cutter Bear, the last Government
vessel to leave the Bering Sea this fall,
brought some startling evidences of the
effect OF pelagic sealing upon the Alaskan
seal herd which frequent the Pribyloff or
Seal Islands.
In accordance with the findings of the
Paris arbitration schooners are now per-
mitted to hunt seals in the Bering Sea
with spears in zone sixty miles around
the islands after the 1st of August. This
gives them about five weeks of good seal
ing. 1t was thought that confining seal
ing schooners to spears and reducing the
season to practically five or six weeks
would put stop to the slaughter in Ber-
ing sea and allow the herds to recuperate.
This year not less than sixty schooners
began hunting in Bering Sea August and
captured nearly 10000 pelts, about so per
cent of which were from females.
This, however, does not show the full
extent of the injury done. The seal pups
are dependent upon their mothers milk
for the first four or five months of exist
ence, and without it the little creatures
must suffer the lingering death of starva-
ton.
Acting under instructions of their re-
spective superiors, both resident Treasury
officers and agents of the North American
Commercial Company made a careful
count of the dead pups found at the close
of the season, when schooners had left the
sea. The census, which was just completed
when the Bear lefs, reached p, 900. 1t did
not include those in the last stages of
stavation. The same conditions prevailed
last year, but the count was made with
less exactness. on account of snow.
The actual pecuniary loss to the United
States and the commercial world by this
needless waste of animal life will reach
hundreds of thousands of dollars. The
United States, which has never allowed
the molestation of seals on breeding
grounds, nor the killing of female seals on
land, made puny effort last year to stay
the land killing to $4,000 mature males,
but this simply gave the hunters so much
additional prey. 1t is questionable if, in
the light of existing conditions and the re-
port OF treasury officials, further restraint
will be exercised, especially as request
made last January by the United States to
Great Britain for greater protection to the
seals has been practically ignored.

A RAILROAD CONSPIRACY.
Senator Chambers caustic Protest to the
President Against the Recent
PooGDo Armament

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 24.-The
text of the letter which Senator William
+. Chandler of New Hampshire two days
ago addressed to President Cleveland on
the subject of the recent agreement of
railroad presidents was made public to-
night, as follows:
WASHINGTON, D. c., November %, 1895.
To the PreSident-SIR: l make complaint to
you, and through you to your Interstate Com
merce Commission, against the trust and
pooling agreement now nearly finished of the
eight American railroad trunk lines and the one
Canadian line controlling the traffic between
New York City and Chicago.
The agreement provides that every railroad
in the combination shall make and maintain
the transportation rates prescribed by boa I'd
Of managers representing all the roads. This
is conspiracy in restraint OF trade and COM
merce under the act OF July 2, 1890.
The agreement also makes certain that all
compe etition shall be abolished, as above re-.
quired, by imposing heavy fines upon any Of
tending road, which fines are to be applied for
the benefit of the other roads. This is divis-
ion of earnings contrary to section 5 of the
interstate commerce law.
This trust and pooling agreement can be an
initiated as provided by explicit existing laws
of the United States-frst, by injunction from
the courts; second, by an order OF the Inter
state Commerce Commission, or, third, by an
Indictment of the individuals signing the
same. 1t can also easily be stopped by vigor-
Gus appeal from you to ]. Pierpont Morgan,
whose power over the nine governors of the
nine trunk lines is as absolute as it is over the
bond syndicate.
1t cannot be possible that you intend to take
upon your administratio the responsibility
of fastening upon your burdened and helpless
people this the hugest trust the world ever
conceived of, when one earnest word
from you to your fresh Attorney-General, your
ambitious chairman of your commission or
your omnipotent banker friend will paralyZe
the iniquity in its inception. Very respect
fully, VILLA Z. CHANDLER.

JULIAN'S MONEY IS READY

lean Soil.

BOSTON, MASS, Nov. 24.-James J.
Corbett arrived in this CITY tonight and
announced his intention of spending some
time in the East. When seen by a CALL
correspondent he was perfectly willing to
talk about the wretched fasco in the
South. In regard TO the affair Corbett
said:
81 want TO tell all true sportsmen that
the stories published that it would have
been an impossibility to have brought off
the fight are based merely on conjecture.
We could have fought in private, as sug-
gested, and have easily lodged the authori-
ties, but Fitzsimmons never had any in
tention of fighting, and he knows it better
than l do. l want to make this statement
because | think he is trickster and never
intended to fight. / am as ready to meet
him now, at any time and at any place, as
| ever was"
Simultaneously with the arrival of the
champion the report gained credence in
sporting circles that an offer had been
made to Corbett and that every effort
would be made to bring the champion and
Fitzsimmons together. The report states
that syndicate of well-known Eastern
sportsmen and business men had agreed
to bring off the fight in Bermuda, Canada
or some other place unmolested by the
authorities for as large stake as thai
offered by the Florida Athletic Club.
When seen in regard to this, Corbett re-
fused to say anything except that he had
been talking business with several parties,
but was unable to make any public state
ment.
Tom O'Rourke, the manager of the light
weight champion, George Dixon, stated
that he was apprised of the offer, but was
bound to secrecy. The general feeling,
however, is that the offer will be made

NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. 25.-Herman
Hattenhoft, who gave physical instruc-
tions to sons OF prominent Brooklynites in
the Academy, at 1895 Broadway, Williams
burg, was found dead in his academy at 2
O'Clock this morning. Close by his side
were the bodies of his two children. All
had been shot. They had apparently been
dead for hours.
Hattenhoft lived with his wife and their
two children at 1103 Green avenue. He
left home with the children late yesterday
afternoon. She searched all through
Williamsburg, and failing to find him, got
a policeman. They went to the academy.
The door was locked. They forced it and
found nothing to indicate why or how the
father had shot the children and himself.
He had been despondent lately.
The wife went into mysteries. Nothing
could be learned from her. Hattenhoft
was 45 years old. Fourteen years ago he
was pugilist.
