CHICAGO. April 21.-A special to .the
Tribune from Washington, says:
There has been serious friction be-
tween Secretary Olney and Ambaasa-
dor Bayard over the Venezuelan
boundary controversy, which how
comes to light. This. it is said, is of
so grave nature that it has strained
the personal relations between the two.
Ambassador BayarG held that the Mon
roe doctrine did not apply to the Vene-
zuelan boundary dispute, and that Sec
rotary Omey's attempt to give it that
application was an untenable position
Th1S view of Ambassador Bayard was
communicated to this government in
one of his dispatches. This dispatch
set forth Ambassador Bayard's opinion
that Secretary Olney's memorable let
ter to Lord Salisbury of July last was
based on untenable grounds, and that
it took a position from which the
United States would inevitably be
forced to retreat, so far as an attempt
to apply the Monroe doctrine to the
Venezuelan dispute was concerned.
The dispatch went into the matter
with considerable detail and was en-
phatic in character This, it is
thought, explains why Lord SaliSburys
reply to Secretary Olney's note was
almost entirely devoted to a refutatiOn
of the latter's position that the Vene-
zuelan boundary dispute came within
the scope of the Monroe doctrine. But
Lord Salisbury was in no degree pre-
pared for the extremely belligerenr
tone of the presidents message to con-
gress, and had it not been the British
premier felt that a complicated Etlro-
pean and ASiatic situation compelled
moderation on his part an equally bel
licose rejoinder might have come from
across the water.
las the relations between Secretary
Olney and Senators Sherman and
Lodge and Chairman Hit of the hduse
foreign affairs committee, are of an in
innate nature, it is the general opin-
ion that if the secretary had used his
influence he could have headed off the
resolutions passed by the house cen.

Japan, or the Yankees of the ORR
emit" will be the attraction at the the
atre tonight The subject is a most
interesting one and will be handled in
such a way by the noted lecturer and
newspaper correspondent as to make
it doubly so. His descriptions of per-
sons and places are most graphic. al
ways entertaining and instructive. The
proceeds of the lecture after paying
expenses will be given for the benefit

THE STUDENTS-Undert the circum-
stances the attendance at the matinee
performance given by the students of
the University of Michigan yesterday
was little less than astonishing 1t is
perhaps needless to say that the great
er portion Of the audience was compos-
ed of ladies, and there was a very fair
sprinkling of school girls and school
boys. The programme was of the same
nature as the night performance, and
was very pleasing. The Herald takes
occasion to suggest, however, that the
students should have remained behind
the scenes, instead of holding Sessions
with their lady friends and admirers in
the parquet circle. This portion of the
performance was eXceedinly pleasant to
the students and the ladies no doubt.
but it was at the same time very an
moving to those who went to enjoy the
musical portion of the entertainment.
The Michigan boys left for Leadville
last evening over the Rio Grande West
ern.
AT THE GRAND-Improveme was
noticed all around at the Grand last
night. There was no fault to be found
with the first production of the ''Wag-
es of SIM" but the play was given with
more snYoothness and effect last even
ing. A well filed house and heavy lad
vance sale indicates another week Of
good business.
THE LYCEUM-The triple bill at the
Lyceum drew another good house last
evening. and the appreciation Of the
audience was a.teSted by the frequent
and loud applause.
The programme elected for this week
is, beyond all question. the daintiest
that has been put before the Lyceum
patrons for a long time. and 1t would
seem as though it would be a good idea
for the managers 10 follow along this
line rather than be so ambitious as they
have been in the past.
No more pleasing entertainment than
that now given was ever put upon the
boards at the Lyceum; and once let it
become known that such dainty bits
are to be served. there is no question
that the box office receipts will take
on fair proportions
The bill should attract large audi
ences during the week, and jam the
house 20 the roof on Saturday for The
matinee.
The work all through last night was
we'll done, and all of the players are
entitled to words of communication.

the primaries. 1t is also declared that
the time has come when the advocates
of the gold standard must stand up an

carried the issue into state politics, the
guage must be accepted. Every man
pledged himself to carry out the spirit
of the resolutions, which were ADOPTED
by a practically unanimous vote. Every
mention of Cleveland's name in the
convention was wildly cheered.

CINCINNATI April 21.-The Com
merciai Gazette's special correspond
ence from Mrs Woodward dated
Havana, April Is. contains an inter
view with DR.. Jose Manuel Delagoa,
the American who was shot and hack
ed and left for dead by Spanish troops
on March 4. when they raided the
plantation of Dolores in Mainoa. Del
agoa said he was an American neutral
in this contest attending to his farm,
When captured he presented his pass
port as an American citizen. General
Malguizo answered by striking him
three times with his sword. Delagoa
and his seven ploughmen were tied to-
gether with a rope and placed in line.
A detail of Spanish troops fired at
them by command. Maceo that day
had fired Dolores plantation and re-
tired before the Spanish troops.
A Spanish captain came to Delagoa' S
house with twenty men, told the
doctor and his seven field hands to
follow
Delagoa showed his passport as an
American; so did his men.
The captain said he had nothing to
do with the matter; he was obeying
orders, but il was his opinion that the
worst thing they could do would be to
snow tndE Iney We're Americans. AT
irving at General Malguizo's head
quarters Delagoa said they were neu-
trails and then showed their passports.
Malguizo became furious. 1t was then
that he struck Delagoa with his
machete. eXclaiming, 81 will shoot
you, just as I would the consul-general
if he were here"
There were eight of them taken out
and tied together with a rope and
placed against a stone wall. The order
was to cut the prisoners down with
machetes. In attempting this the rope
broke and the soldiers were ordered
to fire. AT the first volley Delagoa fell
forward, feigning death. The second
volley sent a bullet into his thigh. All
the others except one were killed. The
doctor was left for dead and lost his
consciousness. When he recovered he
found himself in his dwelling. There
his old father took care Of him. Short
ly afterward Spanish soldiers came,
searching for the two that escaped.
Delagoa's father hid him in cane
field exposed to TIE inclement weather.
Meantime the old father communicat-
ed with Consul General Williams and
obtained a safe conduct to Havana,
where Delagoa now lies under protec-
ton of the United States. DR.. Delagoa
graduated at Columbia college, New
York, and at a medical college in that
city. He was in New York from 1865
to 1877, when he eft to take charge of
the Dolores plantation in Cuba.

Conference Votes to Suspend Him |
Until He Can Prove His Innocence

Conference Votes to Suspend Him
Until He Can Prove His Innocence
OAKLAND, Cal, April 2.-Rev. C. O..
Brown, DID,, pastor of the First Congre-
gatfonal church, San Francisco, is again
fighting for his ministerial existence. The
Bay conference of Congrega tional minis
tiers, angered at Browns refusal to ac-
cept the slight censure imposed by the
council which tried him upon charges of
immortality and unministerial conduct
has preferred new charges against him
and has reopened the old complaint. The
new allegations state that the pastor is
untruthful and unfit for the ministry. In
cidentally, some members of the council
which six weeks ago pronounced Brown
innocent of adultery with Miss Overman,
now allege their belief in his immortality.
The proposition of DR.. Browns opponents
now is not to hold new trial, but to
pass a vote of suspension from the minis
try until such time as his character shall
be cleared. The conference was in ses-
sion today in the Market street church,
where the proposed suspension was dis
cussed at great length.
The conference voted to suspend DIR.
Brown by vote of 43 to 81, until he could
prove his innocence. DR.. Brown became
greatly excited when the result was made
known, and denounced DR.. Mclean in
unmeasured terms He even tried to as
sauit him but was held back by his
friends.

FATHER AND SON.
George Washington and Ramsey Wash
ington, father and son, are on opposite
sides in the case. There were crowds of
people in the street curious to see Jack
son, but no excitement other than that
of curiosity. The court room was crowd
ed early by persons admitted on tickets.
There were thirty-siX seats reserved
within the bar for the press and every
one was filed.
Five women were in the audience.
In just three and a half hours after

from venire of 100 men. About thirty
were examined before the noon recess;

stubborn opinions or opposed the death
penalty; four were peremptorily chal-
ienged, one by the prosecution and three
by the defense, and nine were accepted.

ten are Germans or German descent, one
is Irish and one of English descent
There is not natiye-horE hentuckian
on the jury.
After the jury was sworn, the court
ordered the prosecution and defense to
read a list of their witnesses. Colonel
Crawford for the defense, gave notice
of exceptions to this order.
Commonwealth Attorney Lockhart read
the indictment, and stated what the line
of the prosecution would be. In this he
announced the purpose to attack Jack
sons character, showing he lived
double life.
The first witness called was John HUI
ing, the boy that found the dead body of
Pearl Bryan on February l.
The second witness, DR.. w. S. Tingley
who saw the body two hours after its
discovery and who attended both post
mortems, gave expert testimony. He
said the girl must have been killed where
the body was found: that the knife that
cut her head off was a sharp instru-
ment. and the hand that welded it a
skilled hand.
jackson was calm all day and took
notes of the proceedings, especially of
the testimony He was taken back to
Jail without being handcuffed.
