GEN. JOHNSON SAFE.
The Distinguished Southerner Had
Narrow Escape in
Cuba. s

Z
Havana, June 1T.-Gen Bradley r.
Johnson has returned from Matanzas.
1t developed today that he was one
of the passengers ON board the rail-
road train which the insurgents recently
dynamited near Benavides and fred upon
for ten minutes. The balls shattered
the windows of the cars and went
through the cars themselves. The pas
sengers hastily vacated their seats and
laid on the floor until all danger was
past. Among them were some very
stout ladies. Gen. Johnson's seat in the
car was shot through and two bullets
passed through his coat. He says he will
not travel any more on trains in this
island, as it is too dangerous. He con-
tends that the craftsmanship of the in-
surgents is bad.
While the insurgents were shouting
"Al Machete," corporal and six gem
darmes advanced to the hill where the
insurgents were concealed and dispersed
them.
Previous to Gen. Johnson's return here
there was a considerable anxiety among
his friends in regard to his whereabouts
and Consul-General Lee was communi-
Gated with on the subject. Johnson had
left Havana on. Saturday morning for
Matanzas, expecting to return on Sun
day. His baggage was very carefully
registered for Matanzas. 1t was stated
that after his arrival there an official of
Matanzas examined Gen. Johnson's
valise, in spite of the fact that Johnson
had military pass from Gov. Duboise.
The governor, however, has written .
letter to the diario de La Marina denying
that Gen. Johnson had a military pass,
and stating that the officials at Matanzas
who examined the generals baggage were
only following out their orders.

indianapolis, Ind, June 19.-The Su-
preme court today decided the consoli-
dated liquor cases, involving the consti-
tutionality of what is known as the
Nicholson law. The law is found to be
valid. 1t provides that liquor selling
may not be carried on in the same room
with other business; gives the county
commissioners discretion to inquire into
circumstances in passing on applications

The court holds that the remonstrance
feature Of the law, which the liquor peo-
pie denounced, is virtual local option, is
valid; circumstances must be special

CHAPTER VI.

CHAPIEN VI. s
Sir Paul Raughton's Ascot party had
been excellently arranged, every guest
being specially chosen with a view to
making an harmonious whole.
Belmont was charming villa, lying
almost on the borders of the two lovely
counties Of Berkshire and Surrey, and
neither the beauties of Nature nor Art
were wanting.
Yet. although Sir Paurs selection of
guests had been admirable, disappont-
ment had come to him and Ida, for two
who would have been the most welcome,
Mr.. Cundall and Lord Penlyn, had writ
ten to say that they would not come. The
formers letter had been very short, and
the explanation given for his refusal was
that he was again preparing to leave
England, perhaps for a very long period.
And Lord Penlyns had been to the Of
feet that some business affairs connected
with his property would prevent him from
leaving town during the week.
Moreover, it was dated from a fashion
ohle hotel in the West End anu not from
Deceive House.
When Ida read these letters she was
sorely troubled, for she could not help
imagining that there was something more
Than strange in the fact that the man who
was engaged to her and the man who had
proposed to her only few nights ago
should both have abstained from coming
to spend the week with them.
At first she wondered if they could have
met and auarreled-but then she reflected
that that was not possible! Surely Mr.
Cnndall would not have told Gervase that
he had proposed to her and been refused.
She went to her room that night tired
and worried, but her nights rest was
very broken.
In the early part the flashing Of light
ming and the roar of thunder "a storm
having broken over the neighborhood,
kept her awake, and when she slept she
did so uneasily, waking often. Once she
started up and listened tremblingly, as
though hearing some unaccustomed
sound. and even rose and opened her door
and looked into the passage.
"Of what was she afraid?" she asked
herself.
The house was full of visitors; it was.
of all times, the least one. likely for harm
to come. Then she went back to bed and
eventually slept again, though only to
dream.

RECOGNIZE OUR DOCTRINE.
London Press Thinks Lord Sails
bury Came PeriIousIy Near
to Doing 1t.

London, July 1S.-Commenting today up
on the correspondence on the subject of
arbitration which the Marquis of Sails,
bury laid before the House Of Lords on
Yesterday. the Globe expresses the op,n-
ion that the British premier has been
perilously near recognition of the Monroe
doctrine. On this point the Globe says:
I'VE must beware of weakening in the
slightest degree the position hitherto
maintained by Great Britain
The Globe also thinks that the foreign
office has been altogether too complacent
in respect to the Venezuelan question
itself and trusts that there is no dispo-
sition on the part of the government to
recede from the determination not to rec
ognize the American commission.
I'm regard to a treaty of arbitration
continues the Globe, ''our experience with
the United States has been uniformly dis
couraging. as. for instance, in the cases
of the Alabama claims and the Behring
sea seal fisheries dispute
The Pail Mall Gazette says that both
sides in the correspondence have shown
disposition to discuss each possible So
luton in conciliatery spirit. they he

dynamic forces of good will

fear that negotiations have not brought

ARBITRATION TALK.
Germanent System Between LIE
United States and Great
Britain.

London. July 17.-The Marquis OF
Salisbury laid before the House OF Lords
today papers on the subject OF arDltra-
ton. His lordship said that the neso,
tiations between the United States anu
Great Britain were not complete p'i'
that they are advancing amlcapiy. on
the smaller question of Venezuela, re-
garding which the United States had as
sumed an attitude of friendly protection,
difficulties arose out of the fact that
Venezuela's claim placed two-thlrds OF
the colony of British Guiana SUB
ject to arbitration. The nrst
thing to do was to ascef-
tain the real facts in regard to the con-
trovessy from the history of Venezuela.
When that had been fully ascertained by
a commission which both countries had
confidence in, he felt that the diplomatic
questions which would follow would not
be difficult Of adjustment, but even !, II
they should be those difficulties would De
overcome by arbitration. 1t had pee
impossible to move faster, owing to the
absence of full knowledge of the facts.
The labor involved had been enormous;

would be difficulty in dealing
issues of a vital character. After
much discussion with. the United
States upon that point he thought the
tendency of the United States was to
desire the rapid and summary decision
of a question. The British government
thought that the principle of obligatory
arbitration wasuattended with consider
able hazard. Proper machinery must be
first provided. ~.
In recent cases the United States has
evinced disposition to take up the
causes of many. South American repub-
lies, but the government had rot
quarreled with that disposition. Great
Britain, his lordship added, had taken
similar interest in disputes regarding
the frontiers of Sweden, Holland,
Belgium and Portugal. In study
ing the welfare of neighboring
peoples. it is necessary to remember that
the claims on such peoples may possibly
become matter. of arbitration and hence
it is necessary!to guard against an obiig-
atory system of arbitration. For these
reasons his lordship said he had APP
preached the question with considerable

body, that of man not yet identified.
was recovered at an early hour this
morning from the river at the scene
of last nights ferry disaster, making
the total number of dead in the morgue
sixteen. It is believed that there are
still several more bodies in the river
as at least three men who were in the
boat have not yet been accounted for
Weeping wives and widows besieged
the morgue throughout, the morning and
looked on the faces of their dead ones
or hunted among the grewsome collec-
ton of clothing, dinner pals and other
objects for some sign of those they
feared were dead.
Some of the bereaved ones did not
learn of the accident till early this morn
ing and at once FASTENED to the morgue,
hoping against hope that their fears
were grOundleSs.
Following is corrected list OF the
dead:
EDWARD RYAN, 40 years old.

WILLIAM BUELOW. % years old, fell off
dock and was drowned while on his way to
the scene of the accident.
Nearly all Of the victims were mar
ried men and leave large families.
The ore handlers had just quit work
for the day and were waiting their turns
to cross the branch of the river on the
fiat-bottomed ferry boat which they had
provided for their own use. A number
of the men had crossed. When the ferry
reached the dock the last time, at least
twenty men crowded upon it. The boat
more than feet wide, would carry safe
ly not more than dozen persons The
stream is not wide, however, and the
hurrying ore-handlers had no thought of
danger.
The boat was pushed from the shore,
and was being propelled across the
stream. When it was about half way
over, it began to sink. Then, as the
men rushed to the side. it turned over
All the occupants were thrown into the
river. Those who remained on the
shore at once threw life-preservers and
planks to the unfortunate men, but most
of them sank like lead. A few, how
ever, managed to swim ashore. while
one or two were picked up BY tug.
The life-saving crew remained on Gnty
al night, and as soon as daylight APP
paared they pressed a greater number
OF hncts into service.
These NlIt, manned by rivermen who
were provided with graphing hooks and
lines. They rowed up and down the
river around the spot where the bodies
were supposed to have gone down. At
times their graphing hooks would be-
come entangled in some object at the bot
tom Of the river and the men would cease
rowing, The crowds on shore would
press forward and await in breathless
expectancy the hauling in of the line.
The hooks would bring to light nothing
more than piece of waterlogged wood.
After the finding of the body early this
morning no further discoveries had beer
made up to noon.
