WASHINGTON, Sept. THE state do
partment received a cablegram last night
from Consul General Williams, at Havana,
stating that Aguirra had been released by
the Spanish authorities, and Sanguilly
would be granted "a civil trial soon. This
was welcome news to the department, as
the case of these two United States citi-
zens imprisoned in Cuba has dragged tedi-
ously for months. Consul General Will
Jams was active in seeking protection for
Aguirra and Sanguilly, so much so that
he offended the former Spanish minister,
Muruaga who requested his recall. Later
the state department. made very energetic
representations at Madrid and Havana.
The release Of Aguirra and the prompt
trial Of Sanguilly will secure everything
for which the United States has Contended.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa. Sept. 6-The old
town elm Of Plymouth, three miles from

would collapse during a heavy blow and
cause damage. This elm was voted March

of public rendezvous. 1t was then referred
to as the noble tree upon which our an
cestors have gazed." Subsequent to 1714
it served as an auction mart, village mar
ket and whipping post. A count Of the

SAVING THE COLORS.

From time immemoral, says Harper Round Table, the armies of every war like people have set the highest value upon the standards they bore to battle To guard ones own flag against capture is the pride, to capture the flag Of ose't enemy the ambition, of every vaiien' soldier. In consequence, in every war between peoples of good military record feats of daring performed by color-Dear CTS are honorably common. The ciViI war was full of such incidents. Out oi very many, two or three stand as espe cislly noteworthy.
 One occurred at Fredericksburg on the day when half the brigsdee ol Mesgher and Caldwell lay on the bloody slope leading up to the confederate intreHcqments. Among the sssaultine , regiments was the Fifth New Hamp- shire, and it lost 1S6 out of 900 men who made the charge. The survlvors fell back sullently behind a fence within easy range of the confederate rIfie-plts. Just before reaching 1t the last of the color-guard was shot and the flag fell in the open. A Captain, Perry instantly ran out to rescue it, and, a' he reached it, was shot through the heart; another Captain, Murray, made the same attempt, and was also killed and so was third, Moore. Several pri- vate soldiers met like fate. They wert all killed close to the flag, and theil dead bodies fell across one another Taking advantage of this breast work Lieutenant Nettleton crswled from be hind the fence to the colors, and bore back the blood-won trophy.

MASSACRBD! Neither Men, Women nor Children Have Been
 Spared. WILL INVESTIGATED IT. Telegrams Have Been Intercept ed, the Object Being to Con
 ceal the News.
WILL INVESTIGATED

LONDON, June IA special from Shanghai says it is almost certain that a massacre of all persons connected with the French, English and Ameri- can missions at Cheng Tu has occur red. Neither men, women nor children have been spared according to the re- port. It IS admitted telegrams have been intercepted by the government, the object being to conceal the news of the massacre. A French gunboat is enroute to Wuen Chang to investigate the report.
 NEW YORK, June 11-Officials of the Methodist missionary society in this city are very hopeful the report of the massacre of the missionaries at Chene Tu has been exaggerated. Stephen J. Baldwin, recording secretary, said: ''I do not think the rumors are sub- sequent to the assurances We received by cable from our mission in Cheng Tu under the dste of June 3. The cable said: Property destroyed, all safe, in- form Toronto.' This would indicate that all our people were safe although their property had been destroyed" Tbe missionaries at Cheng Tu are Rev. H Olin, child and wife; F D Cart right, NJ D., and wife; Rev J F Peat and wife; Rev O Curnow and wife; Rev DI H V D Hart, formerly of the Central China mission, and several of his asso ciates of the Canadian Methodist church.

missionaries at Chsng Tu and strong hopes are entertained the affair may be less serious than the mesgre reports in- dlcate. Cheng Tu Is a large city in the interior of China. The missionaries are the only foreigners who have heretofore settled ID Cheng Tu. The inhabitants are excited over the opening of the pro- vince to foreigners under the treaty with Japan.
 State department officials think an er- TOT has been made in the transmission of the name of the place where the massacre is said to have occurred in Chi- pa. It is believed the name instead of Chung Tu should be Chang Te, the cap- ital. of Human, where there are a number of foreign missionaries and the anti foreign feeling is very strong. In 1894 there were threatening demonstrations by the people and missionaries were for some time Tn state of terror by the display of placsrds abusing the "for- eign devils' and warning the natives against sffliation with them. The con- dition of affairs was regarded by Unit ed States Minister Denby as grave enough to warrant representations to the Chinese government and the facts were made the subject of several reports from tine minister to the state depart ment Chang Te is accessible to small gun boats and British war ship visited the neighborhood several years ago. SHANGHAI, June 1.-The report of the total destruction of the missions of Cheng Tu, Kisting and Yoachopu are confirmed. Local officers refused pro- tection to the missionaries until the mob had completed the work of demol> ishing the buildings. Mission stations at other places have been threatened. About twenty adults, besides number of children, have taken refuge at Cheng Tu and Yamen. Viceroy Tsin is blamed with the affair.
