Americas Author.

NEWTON, MASS, Nov. 19.-All day long
Sabbath hush has pervaded this city,
and from all over the continent people in
every walk of life gathered to pay the last
sad tributes to the memory of Rev. DR..

known over two continents as the author
of the immortal National hymn,
America
Simply, without ostentation and IN &C
cordance with the life OF the dead poet he
was laid to rest. The funeral services were
held at 1870 o'clock in the First Baptist
Church, which was entirely inadequate
to contain the throngs who gathered to
perform the last sad rites. Hundreds OF
prominent men from the east, north,
south and west, clergymen and statesmen
from all over the world and hundreds of
school children were present. The body
lay in state the entire morning, and thou
sands paid their respects to the dead
poets memory.
Brief prayers were held at the Smith
homestead at / o'clock, which were at
tended only by the immediate family. DIR.
J. III. Murdoch of the Clarendon-s street
Baptist Church of Boston officiated. The
body was removed to the church, where it
lay in state. The entire front Of the audi
forum was reserved for the immediate
family.
The body, inclosed in black broad
cloth coffin inscribed merely with the
name of the deceased and the date of his
death, was placed directly in front of the
pulpit. Around the casket were heaped
-, of aop
tributes from hundreds of friends and adj
mirers of the dead poet. The funeral
service of the Baptist church was read +,
after which President Alvah Hovey OF the
Newton Theological Institute, an old COM
panion of Mr.. Smith. preached the fun
eral Grafton. At the close of the eulogy the
preparations for the last sad duties were
made.
The body was taken to the family lot in
the beautiful Newton Cemetery, in the
presence only of the immediate members
of the family, and consigned to its last
resting place. The pall-bearers were s. T..
Smith of Davenport, Iowa; E. N. Smith of
Chicago, Appleton Smith of Newton Cen
ter, William White OF Brookline, Stephen
Marsdon of Brookline and James f. Nor
Smith during his lifetime. Later in the
afternoon general service was held at the
City Hall.
The entire city has been draped in black
and all business suspended for the day.
The services here were free to all, and hun
dreds gathered to pay tribute to one so
universally admired. Hon. ]. ID. Lesson
delivered the eulogistic address, and SINH
lar addresses were made by Governor
Greenhalge, Lieutenant-Governor Wolcott,
Senator Hoar and Hon. J. Wesley Kim ball.
AT the conclusion of the meeting the
question of starting National fund to
purchase monument to mark his grave
was started, and it is intended to send this
list all over the country, so as to make the
memorial National one. In all the East
ern cities exercises of similar character
were held in the schools and city halls.

DUKRAKEN A LAND-GRABBER.
Interesting Story of How He Obtained the
Picturesque Estes Park in
ooIoroHo

DENVER, CoLo., Nov. 19.-The Evening
Post tonight contains five carefully pre-
pared columns of a story showing how
Lord Dunraven and other Englishmen
secured and now illegally hold possession
of the picturesque Estes Park, containing
over 1000 acres, the most beautiful land in
Colorado. The story is romantic and sup
ported by official records.
1t is alleged that Dunraven and friends
entered into scheme whereby the land
was pre-empted by two or three real per-
sonages and transferred to many parties so
that titles were juggled until finally the
aliens gathered in the whole valley in
state.
1t is alleged that fraud and even murder
played part in the big grab and Lord Dun
ravens wild life on his Colorado baronetcy
is depicted in detail, being related by those
who lived with him. The story as told is
a sharp reflection on the methods of the
Federal Land Office and the honor of the
Earl of Dunraven.

IA
the Il. n. U. Cases.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 19.-The
General Assembly of the Knights of Labor
this morning paid it's attention once more
to the United States Supreme Court, the
occasion this time being the decision
handed down by Justice Brewer affirming
the decision of Judge Ross of the Circuit
Court against the members of the Ameri-
can Railway Union at Los Angeles.
General Master Workman Sovereign intro
duced to the assembly, which passed it by
unanimous vote, a resolution declaring
that the General Assembly of the Knights
of Labor most earnestly protest against
such a travesty on justice and outrage on
the liberty of the people, and condemns
the court for its partial ruling in the in
terest of the plutocratic classes, and pro-
nouncing it ar abridgement of the consti-
tutional rights of the laboring people"
The amendment proposed to the constitu-
ton requiring trade local assemblies to at
tach to the trade district assemblies and
detach from the mixed district assemblies,
caused great deal of discussion, and while
it secured a majority vote, failed of the
necessary two-thirds and fell through.
When the assembly adjourned at noon
it had under consideration proposition
coming from district assemblies at Ottawa
and Montreal to give the Canadian organi-
cation the authority to elect a general ex-
ecutive board with power over that terri
tory.

But Under a Hot Artillery Fire
the Insurgents Finally
Retreat.
SLAUGHTER ON BOTH SIDES.
General MART Receives Severe
Wounds While in the Thick
of the Fight.

BOSTON, MASS, Nov. ia dispatch
to morning paper states that a battle
was fought on the 9th inst. near Matan-
zas. The Spanish army has been garrison
ing the whole district and evidently plan
to make their campaign. headquarters at
Havana and proceed eastward instead of
making the initiative movement from San
tiago de Cuba.
The insurgents made an attack under
cover of the night on one of the outer gar
risons. The Spaniards fought bravely, but
were outnumbered by the insurgents and
were driven back to the second row of in
trenchments. This preliminary skirmish
brought on general engagement The
insurgents were unable to withstand the
Spanish artillery and the charges of the
cavalry, and after losing over 200 men re-
treated in the direction of Puerto Prin-
cipe. Owing to the mountainous country
the regulars were unable to pursue them.
1t is reported that General Marti, who
was in the thick of the fight. received
some wounds, but of what nature is not
known.
Another dispatch from insurgent sources
states that the battle in question was in
reality victory for the rebels, as their
forward movement was only made to draw
out the Spanish strength and that the
regulars lost by far the greater number of
men.
The recently arrived re-enforcements
have been quartered at Havana and
large drafts are being sent daily to the
army in the field. The plantations and
surrounding country have been deserted by
the peasants who have focked into the
cities or gone into the insurgent ranks.

REV. MR. SMITH Is INSANE.
That WiH Be the Defense for Writing
ScurriL0us Letters.


ScurriI0us Letters.
BOSTON, Mass, Nov. 19.-The case
pending in the Circuit Court against Rev.
Frank Hyatt Smith of Cambridge, charged
with sending scurrilous postal cards
through the mails, has taken new turn.
1t leaked out to-day that last Thursday
Smiths counsel filed motion in the
clerks office which declared that Smith
is insane and mentally deranged, so that
he ought not now be tried for the offense
with which he is charged, and that at the
time he pleaded to said indictment he
was in the same condition. Accompany
ing this motion is an affidavit filed by the
family physician, in which the physician
declares it is his opinion that the defend
ant is mentally unbalanced and insane.
The filing of these papers was surprise
to some of the United States officials, es-
pecially the postoffice inspectors. They
were of the opinion that they had very
strong case against Mr.. Smith, and have
been getting their evidence together the
past few days for the trial, which is SET for
next Monday. The feeling is that the
case will never come to trial and that Mr..
Smith will finally be declared insane.

DENVER, CoLo., Nov. 19.-The Metho-
dist Bishops and laymen took up the SUBJ
ject of the needs of foreign missions to-
day and as each missionary district was
presented the uniform demand for more
money was made in the face of the fact
that less money than was given last year
had to be appropriated. The discussions
over the India and China mission fields
were brief because OF the fact of limited
sum to draw from. The Methodist church
at Rome secured generous allowance.
Africa was cut considerable, and the
money is to be administered from the
New York Office.
DR.. Goucher of Baltimore made an urgent
appeal for better salaries for the mission
aries Of India, who, he claimed, are living
on mere pittances. It was decided to give
the India conferences $13O,OOO to be dis
tributed pro rata according to the budget.
The total amount of money appropri-
ated for both foreign and home missions
was $1,O19,0OO. The general committee
wound up its labors at late hour tonight
and will go on an excursion into the
mountains tomorrow.
