MARTIAL Law
Has Been Proclaimed on the Island Of Cuba.
The Measure Was Taken Up as a Pre-
Caudon-.-Tho Rebellion Growing kore
us--AgilatOrS Working Here.

Washington D. c., February %
Secretary Gresham has received a
cable from United States Consul Cen
eral Williams at Havana, announcing
that martial law has been proclaimed
in Cuba. The Spanish minister here,
Senor Muragua, has also received SIM
liar advices from the Cuban officials
AS nearly as can be gathered here, This
measure is rather precautionary at this
time, and while there have been few
small disturbances on the island, the
trouble has not yet attained any con-
siderable proportions, and it is expect
ed that the firm stand taken ia sus-
pending the operation of civil process
will be regarded as warning By mall
contents and lead to the speedy restO-
ration of the peace and quiet. Ac-
cording to Minister Muraguas IS adUCeS
there have been two small emeutes in
Cuba The first was in the Province
of Matanzas. in the south, where fifteen
men armed themselves and undertook
TO START A REBELLION.
The other was i'm the Province OF Cuba,
where y rebels were routed by the gov
ernment troops and three of them TAX
en- prisoners. The minister has no ap-
prehensiOn of a general uprising. The
government, he says, has about thirty
thousand troops in Cuba force suf-
hcient to meet any probable emergency.
He fears. however, that as a result of
these disturbances serious injury may
be inflicted upon the trade of the island
lust at time when il was hoped that
Lot. T.tr no
Spanish government has made In its
interest by according TO the United
States the favored nation rates Of duty
on imports into Cuba. The Cuban gov
ernment. therefore, has undertaken TO
deal vigorously with the disturbers Of
peace. and by declaring martial law
give them to understand what they
NAV expect if captured. IL is known
here that

pose of causing a rebellion in Cuba,
but owing to the laXity of our neutral
itv laws it is extremely difficult for the
Spanish government to secure the
necessary evidence upon which 10 base
an appeal to the United States TO do its
duty in the matter. The decision OF
our courts in the Itata case and the ac-
ton of the treasury in the cases Of the
Yachts Amadis and LaBOnda, have
given serious concern to many Of the
diplomatic corps in Washington. for
they fear that the door has thus been
opened TO successful flibustering eXpe-
ditions. and that any protest they may
make in cases where their own cOun-
tries are concerned viii be- oi no avail.

THE BOUNTY WINS OUT.

The Senate Adds an Amendment Pay
ing the Sugar Producers About Eight
Millions.
Washington, D. c. February 2G.-The
Senate has given another day to the
sundry civil appropriation bill without
completing it and without taking up
the vital points concerning financial
legislation. The important feature OF
the dav was a short, sharp and decisive
contest on the sugar bounty question,
resulting in the success Of those advo-
eating the payment OF the bounty pre-
maturely cut off by the enactment OF
the tariff law. The proposed bounty
aggregates 5000 600, as stated in the
amendments adopted. but Mr. Mitchell
cave il as his belief that it would reach
SIS O0O. 600. A point of order vas made
against the amendment, but the Sen
ate voted in order 46 to Is. After that
the success of the bounty proposition
was assured. although efforts were
made to load it down with free silver
amendments and other propositions.
Mr. German, OF Maryland, and Mr..
Berry. of Arkansas, had a brisk eX-
change of personalities over timber in
snectors who had been denounced by
Mr. German as political favOrites.

raianment OF timber inspectors.

She Presents a Petition Asking a
Divorce From Her
ryur>N
Husband on the Gror 70 ) .aeI.
Obstinate ,S~N'.
The Petition cites That He De-
serted Her While Temporarily
SojOurning in London, and Has
Since Lived Apart From Her.

Trenton, n. j., February 26.-Mrs.
Charlotte Augusta Drayton, whose hus-
band. james Coleman DraytOn, is suing
her in the courts OF this State for di-
vOrce on the grounds of adultery,
through her counsel, r. Y. Lindabury,
filed a counter petition in the Court of
Chancery to-day. asking for a decree Of
divorce from her husband on the
ground Of deSertiOn.
The petition recites that the petit
toner, Mrs. Drayton. and her husband,
were parried in New York in October,
1879. and from that time until some
time during the year 1886, they resided
i'm New York. During 1856 they moved
to Bernards township, in the county Of
Somerset, in the
STATE OF NEW JERSEY,
and upon their removal there the hus-
band bought a tract of land IN Ber-
nards township, upon which he er-
ected a residence for himself and fam
lily: that in 1893 the husband sold the
said property and moved to SOmeryille,
in New Jersey, at which place he has
since resided and which is the petit
toner's legal residence. The petition
er goes on to say:
And your petitioner further shows
that said husband lived with her from
the date of their marriage until the
month of January, 1892, when, while
temporarily sojourning in London,
England, he deserted her and returned
to America, being moved thereto, as
the defendant believes, by
CRUEL AND UNJUST SUSPICION
as TO her marital fidelity; and your pc
titioner further shows that ever since
the said month OF January, 1892, her
husband has wilfully, continually, OBJ
stinately and without just cause de-
serted her"
The petition concludes with the
prayer THAT she may be divorced
from her said husband and that she
may have such further relief as may be
equitable and just"
Attached to the petition is the GUS
tomary affidavit of the defendant GER
tifying that the petition has been made
without any collusion with the defend
ant for the purpose of dissolving the
marriage. but in good faith for the
causes set forth in the petition.

\ few of those he addressed shook
the Vicar General by the hand and
left. but the majority stood still. Ma
jor Mildrim and others urged the MOP
to disperse, but to no purpose.
With a double line of soldiers a block
was formed and while the rest OF the
military kept the crowd back nearly all
of the audience passed out Of the hal-
amid Kisses.
Slattery and his wife and a few men
remained in the hall. Mayor Meyers,
Chief McDermott and Col. w. W. Cor

formed Slattery's wife that it was his
intention TO leave the First regiment
and the Hussars to protect the nall

Slattery to the Pulaski House.
1t was some time before she would
consent to leave her husband. She was
assured that under no circumstances
would the mob be allowed to hurt him.
The four companies OF guards We're
then banked about the door of the hall
with the police, and Slattery was
brought down. As he came out with
eight policemen and the mayor there
was a howl from the mob, but the 9TH

it back in all directions.

in the centre Of the military, and head
ed by a detachment Of mounted police
and with foot police on the sides and
four companies of infantry front and

to the Pulaski House, followed by hum

Slattery was so buried in the midst
of the military that the mob could not
see him. Word had got among them
that any assault would be promptly
met with bullets.

in front of the entrance presented
bayonets, and Slattery walked in unin-
iured. a detachment of police was
left at the hotel to guard him over
night.
Every door in the hotel was locked
and guarded. At Masonic hall the 9TH
er seven companies remained as
guard for Mrs. Slattery and to prevent
further damage to property. Finding
that Slattery had gone the mob largely
dWindled away. Mrs. Slattery was
placed in a carriage later in the night
and with a strong force of police was
brought to the hotel.
The military were still on duty at
