Several months ago there was murder
In Engelbrecht's saloon at Secaucus, N. J.
One Of the characters In the tragedy was
Louis Bauer, better known to residents
of Secauous and Union Hill as sold

about Secaucus for many years and has
managed to keep body and soul together
by doing odd jobs IN various saloons IN the

(Giess' favor. One day last week, as 'Old
Butch" was reading q paper, he felt
drowsiness stealing over him. He put
down his paper, sat up straight and tried
to shake of the sensation. 1t was no use.
He kept getting drowsier and brewster un-
til, at length, in bis own words, "Der last

He was found by some friends, sitting
In his chair, apparently sound asleep. His
friends tried to awaken him, but as he
showed no signs Of coming to they let him
sleep on. Several hours later they again

nearly 80 hours he was. put In q wagon

So profound was his slumber that respira-

Finally there was no reason for bellev-
Ing that he was not dead. Thus It came
about that the residents of Union Hill and
Secauous heard one morning that "Old
Butch" was no mora. Among those who
heard the news was Giess. He drove up to
Union Hill and made arrangements with

ST. PAUL, Oct. 15.-"When railroads

evidence in any suit before court they
cannot decline, as they have done here

required to incriminate themselves.
Here is the opinion, just received by us,
Of Circuit Judge Acheson, for the West

EZETA AFTER HAWAII.

Residents Of the Islands Say He 10
Sending an Army Against Them.
HONOLULU, Oct. 7.-Cholera has
about run its course in this city. But
one case has been reported since the
last mail, making total of 81 to date.
Filibustering expeditions are now at
tracing the attention Of the people.
The government has received word that
armed invaders may be expected at any
time. On the morning of the 18th word
was received by the authorities that q
boatload of armed men had landed on
this island about 10 miles from Homo
lulu. The men questioned the natives
about the surrounding country and then
put off to a large schooner which was
anchored off the shore near Pearl
Harbor. A company of police was sent
after the strangers, and later the gov
eminent tug was sent out with a de-
tachment of regulars. The tug cruised
about for five hours and returned, re-
porting that nothing was seen of the
men. The appearance of the supposed
fiibusterers has caused the govern
ment to
Prepare Itself for Invasion.
The police have all been armed, extra
soldiers have been enlisted, and in other
ways the government is adopting pre-
cautionary measures. The fibuster
craft is supposed to come from some
South American port. It is claimed that
Ezeta and one of the Ashford brothers
are at the head of the movement. Ezeta
recently left San Francisco for the
South for the avowed purpose, 80 it is
said, of enlisting men to overthrow the
present government. Many people here
scorn the idea of any fiibuster expedi-
ton, but the action of the government
Of late proves that the men now in
power believe there are grounds for
fear, and are acting accordingly.

oUBANs WANT TO BORROW.

American Capitalists Will BE Asked to
Lend the Struggling Island o1O.OO0,OO0.
r. Colonel Nunez, leader of the American
Cuban revolutionary party, has made pub,
lilo the scheme for gigantic Cuban loan
to enable the insurgents to carry on their
war. The American people are to be ap-
pealed to, and SO, 600, 900 Is the sum to be
asked.
Colonel Nunez says: 1.-THE, legality Of
our loans Is out Of the question. That has
already been decided. With $40. 600, 900
the war would not last six months, for,
added to our own funds, we would then
have more than enough to arm our land
forces and buy cruisers which would ami
hilate Spanish commerce.
1T Is fair to estimate that our 6 per
cent bonds will be quoted at the time of
issue at about the value Of the Spanish
securities, say so per cent below par. It
would thus require $50, 900. 900 in bonds
to cover the sum needed. These go, 00O,-
600, all the money which Cuba, with her
great national wealth, would be responsi-
bic for, could easily be repaid at par in five
years, together with the interest. =,
"And what will give better prospect
and security for Idle American capital
than to offer them, for instance, a super
vision Of our custom houses or certain
concessions, such as the building OF the
many railroads necessary to develop the
interior Of the island, the construction of
docks, the dredging Of ports, the 'canali-
zation' Of our rivers, tho working Of mines,
the contracts for our naval department
and, above all, as a natural consequence,
the current Of untrammeled business which
would be opened between the two ooun-
