With Four Friends.
ST.. LOUIS, March 16.-Walter
Sharp, 20 years old, was mysteri-
ously shot and killed early yester-
day morning, while on his way
home.
The only clue to the murder is a
hat left behind, bearing the ini-
tials, "H. B." Owing to the pecu-
lisrity of the shooting and the
strangeness Of the assault, the po-
lice are mystified.
Four men have been arrested
and locked up on suspicion. They
are Patrick B. Mccarthy, a driver
for tho Continental laundry; r. A.
Carmen, a clerk in railway Of
fee; VIM. Kelly, a stenographer in
the employ Of the Hamilton Brown
Shoe company, and James Celia,
bartender in a saloon near the
scene of the shooting.
All these men were near by when
the shooting took place. 1t was
while they were going home from
,Cella's saloon that an unknown
man sprsng from an alley. struck
at Sharp and then shot him.
AS all the men told the same
story Police Captain Boyd re.
leased Carmen and Celia and held
the other two for further informa-
rfion

OUR FOREIGN RELATIONS
The Chief Subject of Interest Discussed
In Congress Yesterday.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Foreign affairs
and finance occupied the attention of the
senate yesterday. Mr.. Thurston CNeb.)
vigorously upheld a strong application of
the Monroe doctrine, and was at times
warmly applauded for the patriotic ring
Of his sentiments.
Senator Turpie Und.) touched on the
Turkish atrocities in n brief, but very en-
ergetic speech, in which he declared that
the resolution just passed by congress
should be followed by a blow, a shot which
should crush through the sultan's seraglio,
sweeping back Mohammedanism and ad-
vancing Christianity.
Mr.. Voorhees, Qnd.) who was until re-
Gently chairman of the finance committee,
spoke in advocacy OK the resolution OF sill
yer, and sharply arraigned those respon-
sible for the elimination of silver from
the coinage.
Another effort was made by Mr.. Jones
ARK, in chAge OF the silver bond bin,
20 have the vSte flxd for Thursday. Mr..
Hill objected, however, and Mr.. Jones
notified senator's to prepare for n test OF
endurance on Thursday, as he would ask
them TO sit until a vote was taken.
A fruitless discussion of the resolution
TO inquire into the arrest of Eugene V.
Debs occurred during the day, but action
was deferred.
The session of the house was brief.
Contrary TO general expectation, the dip
lomatic and consular appropriation bill
p%recipated no discussion whatever. None
OF the foreign complications were even
mentioned, and the bill was passed in less
than m hour. The appropriations carried
by the bill are about Sl00,0 900 in excess OF
those appropriated for the current fiscal
year.

GOMEZ MOVING.
Spanish Troops Are Hot
on His Trail.
Insurgents and Regulars Are
at Close Quarters.
Said to Have Proved Disastrous to
Cuban Patriots.

HABANA, Jan. ea-The columns Of
troops commanded by Oolonels Lirares
and Aldecoa followed Gomez's forces in
the direction OF Sebourucal, and upon ar
irving at Mounts Trujillo and Caimito
they heard firing between the insurgents
and the column OF Spanish troops which
had previously left Guenajay.
Colonel Aldecoa attacked the right flank
OF the insurgents In the advance toward
the plantation Of Santa Lucia. There the
insurgents awaited the troops with conf
dencc. They occupied n strong position,
and, In addition, they had canefields in
front OF them while their rear was pro-
tected by high ground along the route TO
Banes. The Spanish column advanced in
open order, protected by three pieces Of
artillery.
- TIL insurgents made n good defense,
but the mauser rifles and artillery fire
eventually compelled them 20 retreat.
The troops kept up the retreat until dark.
The insurgent loss was numerous, and
the troops captured a considerable guam
tity Of arms and ammunition. The
swamps Of ArrayOs protected the retreat
Of the insurgents, as the Spanish infantry
was unable TO wade through them. The
loss of the troops was Insignificant.
General Godoy, at the plantation OF
Olalabita, has had a skirmish with the
insurgent bands, commanded by Roban,
Guyito, Alvarez and Munez. The insur-
gent loss was 8 killed and 10 wounded.
and the troops captured a quantity Of
arms, ammunition and mail matter.
Nine Spanish soldiers were wounded.
Captain Gonzales, at the head Of a
small detachment Of Spanish troops, on
Sunday last was attacked by an insurgent
force commanded by Lacret, Clotilda and
Garcia at the Mountain farm OF La Cana.
The Spaniards were compelled to retreat,
with the loss Of B killed and IL
wounded. The insurgent loss is not
known.
Macco In Danger.
Maceo's position continues to DO re-
garded here as critical, and il is considered
certain that GomeZ's attempt TO march
west Is for the purpose OF succoring him.
Spanish columns pursue Gomez closely
and harass his forces, compelling them TO
fight daily, and it is claimed here they are
becoming demoralized. Grave reports are
circulated of Gomez's sickness, and this,
combined with the stores which his men
attempt to carry, is said to make their adj
vance slower than IL otherwise would be.
The leaders, Cayito and Alvarez, are
operating In Santa Clara, and Lacret In
Matanzas, their policy being to threaten
small towns and keep the country stirred
up as much as possible, and thus make it
necessary to lessen the forces that car
operate against Maceo and Gomez. 1t is
not admitted that this policy has been
very successful.
Gomez and Maceo are said to be short
Of ammunition, as they cannot receive
fresh supplies by land. They are eagerly
expecting an expedition TO land on the
coast, and bring them supplies. But the
coast is being closely watched by cruisers,
which have landed detachments at various
points.
