DIR. MORRIS HENRY DEAD.
he Organized the New York Am
bulance Service and Made
His Mark in Turkey.

New YORK, May 20.-Dr. Morris
Henry, a we'll known surgeon who
organized the present system Of
ambulance service in this city, is
dead.
While in Turkey he so pleased the
Sultan by his work, that that dig
nitary conferred upon him the i'm
perial order of the second class Of
the Mejedie with the rank OF grand
officer. He had made study OF
diseases Of the veins, particularly
those which incapacitated military
men from serving and discovered
method for treating them sue.
cessfully. The Sultan liked this, as
until then many of his subjects had
escaped military service because Of
vein diseases, which were very
common there. This decoration is
the same as the Sultan conferred
on Gen. Lew Wallace and repre-
sentative S. S. Cox, who were the
United States ministers at his
court. For his contribution to
medical and surgical science, the
king OF Greece made DR.. Henry an
officer of the Royal Order Of the
Savior, with the gold cross. Among
his inventions was the application
Of a plano-conveX LEM in eXaming

UPON THE FIELD OF HoNAH.
Two Doughty Georgians Who are
Likely to Fire Wads at Each
Other,

NEW YORK, May 20.-The Her
aid this morning says: The Geor-
gia Colony in this city is discuss
ing the probability Of a duel be-
tween DIR. Willis Westmoreland
and Lawyer Daniel W. Rountree,
both of Atlanta, who are now in
New York. The men have been on
bad terms for some time. They
went to Abbey's theatre on Friday
night and blows are said to have
been exchanged. DR.. Westmore-
land,according to report, took the in
itiative and his enemy vowed VEN
geance when they were separated.
1t is generally feared that duel
may result. The meeting was the
first one outside Of Georgia since
the men were both put under
bonds to keep the peace, two years
ago. They quarrelled then over
money matters and preliminaries
were arranged for a meeting on the
"feld Of honor" The authorities
got wind Of the impending affair
and put a stop to 1T by requiring a
peace bond Of $1,000 from West
moreland and one Of $4,000 from
Rountree.
The men are we'll known in the
south. Westmoreland has just re-
tired from the presidency OF the
Georgia Medical society, and
Rountree has represented South
Georgia county in the state legis-
lature. Rountree is guest at the
Imperial hotel.

GOMEZ ON THE WAR.
THE CUBAN CHIEF PUTS 1T ALL
ON PAPER.
HE EXPECTS TO HAVE SPAIN AT
HIS FEET AND CUBA FREE
IN ABOUT TWO YEARS.
He Figures it All Out and Shows
the Superior Advantages That
the Insurgent Forces Have
Over Those of Spain.

NEW YORK, May 20.-A special
to the Herald from Holguin, Cuba,
says that the general-in-chief of
the Cuban armies, Maxine Gomez,
who passed near that place, escort
ed by a cavalry force Of 1000 men,
on his way to Puerto Principe, has
sent letter for the Herald, Of
which the following is trans
lation:
ITO the Editor of the Herald:
"Magnanimity will mark the
entire conduct Of this war, as
well as untiring energy. Among
the veterans Of the previous strug-
gle, tlocking to my standard
to guide the rank and file
of the young generation OF pa
triots of liberty to sure victory,
there is noticeable a spirit OF de-
termination and an energy far SUI
perior to anything displayed dur
ing our last war, and entirely free
from certain Objectionable features
which then tended to localize our
movements and prevent rapidity
of operations. The outlook for the
success Of the present revolution,
before two years, is so bright that
there can now be no doubt that the
republic Of Cuba will be one Of the
new states soon to occupy its place
among the free governments Of the
new world.
Martinez Campos has, by force Of
circumstances,y been compelled to
the only plan Of campaign left to
him which enabled Spain to tempo
rarily maintain possession OF only
the larger towns and principal coast
ports, and even these will soon be-
gin to slip one by one from her
feeble, sickly grasp. Campos will
require q double army. one of occu-
patton, one Of operation. For the
first he must have, as any military
expert knowing the strength OF the
revolution and possessing a knowl-
edge OF the geography OF the island
may see at glance, at least $4,000
men In order to occupy and defend
the cities, towns and strategic out
posts already threatened by the
revolution. For his army of opera
tion as many more troops will be
required to enable him to meet our
forces in the field.
To maintain the war until Spain,
from physical and financial ex-
haustion, be compelled, as she was
in Santo Domingo, to give up the
fight, Cuba Libra will not need such
large military force for, with our
superior knowledge OF the island,
it's bride paths and secret noun
tain passes, we can, with an army
of much less strength numerically,
assisted as we are by the insurg-
ents and by all the natural resOur-
ces of the island, compel the Span
ish army Of occupation to keep
strictly with the army Of operation,
harrassing the enemy upon every
hand by our alternate movements
of sudden dissemination and con-
centration. MANIMO GOMEZ,
General-in-Chief.

GENERAL aUEsADo IS IN IT

He is offered the Supreme Com
mand of the Cuban Insurgents.
NEW YORK, May 2O.-A local
paper says: General Yuesado, Of
Cuba, who landed Saturday from
the steam ship Philadelphia is at
the Fifth Avenue hotel. The gen.
eral says that the insurgents have
offered to him the command OF all
the insurgent forces providing he
will join them and accept the posi-
ton. He has this offer under SER
ious consideration and the proba-
bilities are that he will disappear
quietly within few days and
the next thing the country will
hear from him will be OF his safe
arrival inside the lines Of the in
surgents. 1t is known that he has
received much encouragement
from leading Cubans in this city
but from whom 1t is impossible to
learn. This will not be General
Quesdao's first military invasion Of
Cuba. In previous instruction
he led the largest body OF soldiers
to the island ever landed. He
fought under President Juarez, OF
Mexico, against Macmillan and
his sword has been unsheathed a
number Of times in Venezuela.
His movements will be watched
with interest by the Spanish gov
eminent"

INCOME TAX INVALID

W ASHlNGTON, May 2U.-lmmed1-
ately on converting the Supreme
Court Chief Justice Fuller today
read the Income tax opinion. 1t
declares the law unconditional in
toto.
There was a throng of people
about the United States Supreme
court room today in anticipation
Of the final decision in Income tax
cases, the chamber being crowded
for quite a time before court con-
vcned at noon. Those pres,
ent included MANY attorneys
and a full representation OF
press as well as a fair sprinkling
Of members Of Congress. The jus.
tices were at the capitol early and
the consultation began promptly at
10, continuing until few minutes
before II, all members Of the
court being present, including JUS
tlce Jackson, who appeared, greatly
to the surprise of every one, save
the justices.
While there were many other
cases under consideration in the
conference, the income tax cases
received the principal share of at
tention of members OF the court.
The presence Of Justice Jackson
caused great deal OF speculation,
and was the basis for a great deal
Of gossip as to the possibility Of
some sort OF surprise for the pub
lie. The fact that Justice Jackson
was in the city, and that he had
participated in the consultation to-
day did not become known until a
few minutes before court came in.
He occupied his seat with the
other members Of the court, max
ing a full bench at the delivery Of
the opinion, as there was at the
hearing. The vote on the income
tax opinion resulted In five
against the onstitutionality to
four for the law. Those against
the law were Chief Justice Fuller
and Justices Field, Gray, Brewer
and Shieres; for the law, Justices
Harland, White, Brown and Jack
son. The Chief Justice immediate
ly began the delivery Of the main
opinion in the case. The conclu-
sions OF the court were as follows.
First. We adhere to the opinion
already announced that taxes on
real estate being indisputably di-
rect taxes, taxes on rents or in
come Of real estate are equally d.
rect taxes.
Second. We are OF the opinion
that taxes on personal property or
on income from personal property
are likewise direct taxes.
Third. That the tax imposed by
sections - to 81 inclusive, Of the
act of 1894, so far as it falls on the
income of real estate and on per-
sonal property, being direct tax,
is within the meaning OF the cons
titution and therefore unconstitu-
tiOnal and void, because it is
not apportioned according to
representation all Of those
sections constituting one entire
scheme OF taxation are necessarily
invalid. DEGREES herein before en-
tered in this court will be vacated.
DEGREES below will be reversed and
cases remanded with instructions
to grant the relief prayed for.
Sections q to 81 of the
tariff act Of 1894 as referred
to are in the conclusions OF the
courts opinion, and all sections Of
the act relating to the income tax
unconstitutional, so that the
entire income tax law is declared
void specifically.

New England Not a Unit for Reed.

New England Not Unit for Reed.
Boston, May 20.-A local paper
today publishes the result Of talks
with leading Republicans on the
probable nominee to be supported
by New England delegates In 1896.
The article says:
"Many were disinclined to talk,
assigning as a reason that it was
rather early to make presidential
nomination. Some said that they
thought Mckinley the logical can
didate, but would rather not offend
Mr.. Reed by saying so. Maine is,
as matter of course, strong for
Reed, and her leading Republicans
predict that he will have the solid
New England delegation. Connecti-
cut and Rhode Island, on the other
hand, are quite positive that Mr..
Reed cannot control the New Eng
land delegation, and say they eX-
pect the nomination Of western
man. New Hampshire and Yer
mont are not as enthusiastic as
Maine, or as doubtful as the two
southern states Of New England,
but they would, without doubt,
swing into line for Reed were the
other states, including Massachu-
sets, to favor him, which seems
likely.
"The situation seems to show
that where Mr.. Reed has strong
hold on the hearts OF New Eng
landers, he cannot count on the
New England delegation as unit,
owing to the attitude OF Rhode
Island and Connecticut"
The newspaper article does not
indicate which is the stronger in
New England, Harrison or Mckin-
low

HYPNoTIsM AS A WITNESS.
A Strange Case and One That May
Set an Important Precedent.

ANDERSON, Ind, May 2O.-A
scene, believed to be without para
lei, was enacted here yesterday. A
Judge Of the Circuit court, attended
by the court stcnOgrapher, took
down the statements of a dying
woman, under the influence Of hyp-
nOtism. Should the Judge accept
the statement as true, they will
cut great figure In murder mys-
terry. George Hires was sentenced
by Judge Weyon to thirteen years
in the pen on conviction for the
murder of William Foust, July s,
last. The principal witness against
him was Maggie Bolton. After the
trial she confessed that her testi-
mony was false and that she her.
self had done the deed. DR.. J. B.
Callen, who claims to have hyp-
motto powers, was granted permits
sion to place the woman in the
hypnotic state to ascertain
which OF her statements was
the correct one. Today Judge
Ellison, the official court
stenographer and DR.. Callen went
to the hospital where Mrs. Bolton
is said to be on her death bed from
consumption, and in the presence
OF these witnesses soon had the
woman in hynotic state. Mrs.
Bolton spoke in a loud clear tone,
though heretofore on account Of
her weakness she was scarcely able
to whisper. Mrs. Bolton seemed to
live again the night Of the crime
and in forcctul manner she re-
counted the details OF the crime.
She said the shot that killed Foust
was fired by Hires, and her confess
sion that she had done the deed
was eXtorted from her by Hires,
who said the authorities suspected
her son. She then shouldered the
crime, to shield her son. After she
had been brought out OF the catalep-
tic state she did not remember
anything of what she had just told.
Judge Ellison was greatly i'm
pressed, but she declined to state
what effect 1t would have on his
ruling in the case. \ motion for
new trial for Hires is pending.
