r,eere.. Of the War in caba.

Dispatches have been issued to- the
effect that the leaders of the Cuban in
surgent Leaders are rapidly preparing
for vigorous winter campaign. They
will make it campaign of destruction
to plantation industries and buildings
and of towns and small cities their
idea being to cut off all the revenue of
the Spanish government in Cuba and
to place the Spanish troops on an equal
footing with themselves, by taking
away their projections from the.
weather and preventing them using
the plantations, sugar mills and small
towns as bases of supplies and as Sc
cure camping places. The Cuban lead
ers feel themselves strong enough to
take the offensive. Maceo desires To
inaugurate line of action similar to-
Sherman's march to the sea. 1t is also
considered more than ever desir-
able to secure recognition of belliger-
ency from the United States. 1t is re-
ported that Gen. Estrada Palma,
Cuban minister, and Gonzales Quesada,
secretary of the legation, will soon go
to Cuba to- consult with Cuban leaders.
Capt.-Gen. Weyler announces that
it is his intention as soon as reinforce
ments arrive from Spain, to concen-
trate his forces and sweep the island
from end To end. by this means he
hopes to put speedy end to the war.

Michigan Has $500. 900 Coming.

The last Legislature so amended the
law requiring corporations to file an
nual reports with county clerks so as
to make it read with the secretary of
state. A penalty of S25 was provided
for, and fine of IS per secular day
the report was not filed after March 1.
This penalty is turned into the general
fund, and it is estimated that the state
has coming from these delinquents
fines and penalties aggregating be-
tween 100000 and S90O,000 Under
the old county clerk provision corpora
tions felt secure from any attempt to
enforce the law. 1t is largely due to
the lack of knowledge on the part of
directors that the law had been amended
that the situation is due. There will be
CONSERVATION among the directors of de-
linquent companies.

A Tramp Confcsscs to a Murder.

The sheriff OF st. Joseph county has
taken into custody a tramp named
John Crowley, who signed a written
confession that he, and not Del Swartz,
is the murderer OF Willard NJ. Johnson,
of Burr Oak. Swartz is at present
serving life sentence at Jackson, hav-
ing been convicted of the crime on
strong circumstantial evidence.
The body of johnson. who was about
40 years of age, was found in the st.
Joseph river on Oct. 10, 1894, one and Il
half miles northwest of Colon. He
had been shot four times and the body
thrown into the river. The object OF
the crime apparently was not robbery.
Suspicion pointed at once toward Del
Swartz. Johnson's father-in-law. who
lived near Athens Johnson had sep
arated from his wife, who went to live
with Swartz. There had been law
suit between the two over the division
of property, and considerable i'll feel
ing had developed.
Crowley says he killed Johnson,
whom he met ON the highway late at
night, simply for revenge for a beating
johnson had given him few months
before. The confession is not strongly
believed by people convcrsant with
the case.

A terrific fire which started from a
gasoline stove explosion in NJ. Cam

swept through portion of the business
section on Water and Asmun streets
and destroyed between 100000 and
$780, worth of property, including
Phenzlauer Bros threestory block,
the Sault National bank, the NJ. Prem
lauer, Metzger and Chippewa buildings
besides a number of frame structures.
Still other prominent blocks were dam

sisted by firemen from the Canadian
Sault, soldiers from Ft Brady and the
citizens generally, prevented greater
destruction. The insurance amounts
to about one-third of the losses.

More Fires at Ontonaron.

The forest fires which continued TO
burn after the almost total destruction
of Ontonagon, threatened the towns of
Rockland and Greenland for several
hours, but a change in the wind saved
them Several farmers homes about
Ontonagon have been destroyed. The
Polish settlement, one mile east of On
tonagon, was completely swept by the
flames and this greatly increases the
distress, as some people of that nation
atty had found shelter with friends
there. The country is so covered with
smoke that one can see but few rods
and the atmosphere is sitting. There
is much sickness and many babies are
suffering for the want of suitable food
Many tramps came to the town at
tracted by the large stores of food
sent in, but as all sufferers are known,
they were promptly spotted, punished
and run out of town. The authorities
have succeeded in subduing the hood
lum element which proved so threaten
ing for two days and troops will not be
required, although one company went
there.
Present prospects are that nearly
every industry which burned will be
re-established, excepting the Diamond

SHOT WIFE AND HIMSELF.
Lowell Banker and Wife Prefer Death to
Facing Financial Ruin.

Lowell Banker and Wife Prefer Death to
Facing Financial Ruin.
The banking firm of Chas. j. Church
e. Son, at Lowell, the firm being com
posed of Charles Jesse Church, of Fow-
lerville, and Charles A. Church, of
Lowell, posted a notice declaring the
institution closed because of their in
ability to realize upon assets. The
business was conducted by Chas. A.
Church, the junior member of the firm.
When the news of the banks failure
reached Grand Rapids the National
City bank, of that place. secured writ
of attachment for 81, 900 and placed
the papers in in the hands of Deputy
Sheriffs Cowans, of Grand Rapids, and
Ben Morris, of Lowell, to serve. The
officers called ut the home for the
purpose of serving them on the banker.
As they raped at the door the pallid
face of Mrs. Church appeared at a
window and as she recognized the call
ers she dropped the curtain and stepped
back Almost Immediately three pistol
shots were fired in quick succession
inside the house. No sooner had the
last report died away than the deputies
were entering the room over the bat
tered door Mrs. Church was found
lying on her back on the floor, appar-
emily dead. Two bullets had taken
effect. Her husband was stretched
across the bed, and as the officers
reached his side he breathed his last.
BY his side was the pistol with which
the crime was enacted. Examination
proved that the woman was still living,
but could not last long. Two bullets
struck her, the first going through the
neck and the second blowing a cash
across the throat in front.
That the shooting was premeditated
by both ma and wife there can be no
doubt, as letters have been found
which show that they had planned to
die together rather than face disgrace
and financial wreck
In an adjoining room to the one in
which the tragedy occurred were three
children, who slept on unmindful of
the fate of their parents. The oldest
is Julia. aged s years, then Jesse, aged
4, and the baby, only eight weeks old.
Church was 81 years old and his wife
two years younger.
Church was prominent citizen and
had been in business in Lowell for 10
years

BRITISH BoMBARD ZANZIBAR.
On the Death of the Sultan an Usurper

Arose, but was Soon Subdued.
The sultan of Zanzibar, Hamed Bin
Thwain Bin Said, is dead. He was
about 40 years of age, and succeeded
TO the sultanate ON the death of Sultan,
Ali, March s. 1898. He was one of a
number of claimants and was selected,
as being the most fitting, by the Brit
ish government, which exercises a
protectorate over the sultanate.
Said Kalid seized and occupied the
palace, Immediately after the death of
the sultan became known. He pro-
claimed himself sultan and barricaded
himself in the palace with 700 armed
Askaris. Sailors from the British
warships. Philomel, Thrush and Spar
row, have been landed TO protect prop
erty ashore.
Bombarded the Sultan's Palace.
Rear Admiral Henry Rawson, in
command of the British Cape of Good
Hope and west coast of Africa naval
station, demanded that Said Khalid
surrender or else the sultan's palace
would be bombarded. Said Khalid
had been reinforced by $500 men and
felt secure SO he replied that he would
resist to the death. Then Admiral
Rawson ordered every British and
other foreign subject on board the war
vessels in the harbor and after again
demanding the usuper's surrender and
being refused he ordered the warships
Raccoon, Thrush and Sparrow to begin
firing. Storms of shot and shells were
poured into the palace with such deadly
aim that within an hour the palace
had been almost utterly wrecked and
the ruins were in ablaze. The palace
guns tried to return the fire but did no
damage to the British. Said Khalid
and few followers fled to the German
consulate for refuge. When the firing
had ceased the British landed marines
and endeavored To- extinguish the
flames but were unsuccessful. The
slaughter of Zanzabaris was very
heavy Hamond Binn Mohammed bin
Said, aged so, nephew of the deceased
sultan, has been proclaimed sultan and
was saluted by the British squad
ron. IL will be a great surprise if
Great Britain does not take advantage
of the opportunity to abolish Arab
rule, suppress slavery and proclaim
Zanzibar British colony.

Canadian Yacht Won the first Race

The international yacht races at To-
ledo were looked forward to by lake
sailors with great deal of pleasure
and the contest between the Canadian
cup defender, Canada, and the Ameri-
can challenger, Vencedor, of Chicago,
was regarded as the biggest Yachting
event ever held on the Great lakes.
The first days trial of the Canada
Vencedor race was failure owing To
the light breeze and the judges called
it off for one day. The second attempt
was somewhat better although the
wind was very light and there was
only IL minutes of the time limit re-
manning when the winner crossed the
line. The heat was won by the Canada
with the Vencedor over mile behind.
1t was very apparent that the Canadian
boat was all right in a light wind and
that the Vencedor required n brisk
