Mr.. SMALLEY'S MESSAGE.

Treaty.

London, April 22.-All the afternoon
papers comment on the dispatch from
Washington to the Times, which its cor
respondent is said here to have been in
structed to publish, concluding with the
remark: "This delay is not perilous.
The Washington executive still shows
a strong desire for an honorable and
reasonable agreement Con the Ven
ezuelan question:, but it takes two sides
to make a treaty"
The ST. James Gazette says: "The
statement which George w. Smalley
was instructed to publish shows that
the United States government still hopes
we shall help it out of the difficulty by
surrender. When it is finally convinced
of its mistake what will happen?"
The Globe remarks:- eff the Ameri-
cans are wise they will understand that
the Marquis of Salisbury's attitude
means the steady determination of Great
Britain not to allow interference in
what she rightly considers to be her
own business"
The Pail Mall Gazette says that it
sees no reason for alarm.
On the other hand, the Westminster
Gazette urges the Marquis of Salisbury
to settle the Venezuelan question out

VICTIM OF JEALOUSY.
James Culbertson Shoots and In
stantly Kills His Wife at
Chicago.

Chicago, ILL.,, April 23.-James Culbert-
son. an employee of the city sewer de-
partment, yesterday afternoon shot and
instantly killed his wife Lillian in the
yard in the rear of 80 Church court.
The woman was shot twice, one bullet
crashing through her head back of the
left ear and the other piercing her heart.
Culbertson then turned the revolver upon
himself. He is lying at the county hos
pital with bullet wound III his lei
breast from which he cannot recover.
A crowd quickly surrounded the dy-
ing man. A call was sent in for the
ambulance, and Culbertson, who had re-
lapsed into Inconsistencies, was taken
to the county hospital. The patrol wag-
on of the Desplaines street station re-
moved the body of the dead woman
to the county mOrgue.
According to the neighbors Culbertson
was insanely jealous of his wife. lie
had not been living with her for the last
six months, but he frequently called on
her Mrs. Richard Newland, with whom
the dead woman had boarded, said that
Tuesday night Culbertson appeared at the
house and asked for his wife. He had
been drinking, and when her husband
ordered him to leave the house Culbert-
son drew two revolyers and threatened
to kill them all. When Mrs. Culbertson
returned she was told of the visit of her
husband. She announced her intention
of having him arrested and called at the
Desplaines street station to procure u
warrant for his arrest.
The justice was not there at the time
and she was told to call at Z: 80 O'Clock
that evening, when she would catch him.
She returned to the house. Fearing that
Culbertson would call again she begged
Mrs. Newland to allow her to sleep in
her room. Mrs. Newland granted the re-
quest.
Mrs. Culbertson was on the way to the
grocery store when she was met by her
husband who evidently had been hid in
the yard waiting for her. The couple
had one child, Agnes, 315 years old.
Culbertson was AZ years old. He came
to this city from Junction City, Kas.,
about five years ago. The woman was

LOUISIANA ELECTION.
New Orleans Gang Wiped Out
Democratic Governor
Elected

New Orleans, La.,. April 22.-Late re-
turns indicate the election of Foster
Dem.) for governor.
George w. Flynn, chairman of the
Democratic committee, comedies the
election of Flower, Citizens league can
didate for mayor Of this city, by 5000
majority. The league party managers
think their majority will be nearer To-
900. Foster, regular Democrat, will
probably carry the city by small ma
jority.
New Orleans has wiped the boodlers
off the earth, and despite one of the
strongest ring organizations in the coun-
try the Citizens league has won the
fight by majority of from 10000 to To-
900. The ring is delaying the count,
but the league has armed volunteers
guarding the polls and boxes, and no
tricks will avail. There never was such
excitement in the city on any election
day, and thousands were on the streets
last night ready to answer any call.
The remarkable part of the election was
the loyalty of the negro to the cause
of reform, despite the efforts of old time
Republican leaders to throw the vote
to the ring. The negroes were proof
against bribery and threats and gave the
league heavy vote.

GEN. WEYLER'S PLANS.
Is Conducting His Campaign on
GeometricaI Lines-Very
Hopeful.

New York, April 23.-A dispatch to
the World from Havana says that Gen.
Weyler is stalking all on the present mill
tary movements. He is opposing the
guerrilla warfare by an almost geome-
trio plan. In an interview the general
said: 'Maceo will never cross the tro-
cha except as prisoner. The day he at
tacks the trocha he will fall or be capt
ured. 1t is utterly impossible for him to
come eastward. | have a strong force
on the whole line and also have a large

but Maceo is on the east side of the
barrier. Suppose the two brothers should
attack the line from the different sides at
different points on the same day."
''Ah," replied Gen Weyler, Il have a
strong force on the side which keeps
Jose Maceo's men divided into small
bands, and they cannot unite for such a
maneuver.
Maceo to a decisive battle now?
'Maceo will not stand and fight, the
general answered. II have several indie
pendent columns which keep him moving
about in the hills"
''But can you not surround him? He
is apparently confined to a small dis
trict?''

propose to have my main force drawn
forward from the trocha. | want the
insurgents to attack the line"
"When do you look for an attempt to
force your liney"
Never" said Gen. Weyler "My
opinion is that Maceo knows he is in Il
trap at last and he will abandon his
troops and escape from Cuba by water. .
'You say the war will be brought to
an end soon. How do you expect it to
end?'
''As soon as the insurgents see their
cause is lost" Gen. Weyler responded,
''the small bands will begin to come in
and give up their arms"
do you intend to proclaim general
amnesty?"
''Yes but not now. There must be
more fighting. The enemy must be Sc
verely punished in the field and their
power completely broken. Then | will
offer amnesty, not before

RIOTS ON THE DOCKS.
Union and Non-Union Lumber
Showers Have Hand-tO-
Hand Fight.

Cleveland, O., April 22.-All the re-
serve police in the city were massed at
noon today at the Central police station
in readiness for expected trouble on the
lumber docks between the union and
non-union lumber showers. Each Of
icer was provided with club used in en-
counters with the mobs and which were
used so effectively in the May riots two
years ago..
On the docks a big crowd OF union
and non-union men were gathered
awaiting the arrival of the first vessel of
che lumber fleet Trouble is looked for
before the day is over, as both union and
non-union men appear to be IN hghtlng
mood.
Rioting began between the union and
nonuniOn lumber-shoYerS shortly after
noon. The men were armed with knives
and revolvers and came together at
Pack Gray & Co.'s docks. Two men
were seriously wounded, one perhaps
fatally Many have bruised faces aud
blackened eye.
A vessel was to be unloaded at the
dock and 225 union men were on hand
to do the work. They claimed the cap
tain had given them the Job. While they
were getting ready for the work large
crowd of nonunion laborers put In an
appearance, and their leaders, John Pow
itski and August SWego, claimed the
work belonged to them. A wrangle im-
mediately followed and in a few minutes
the men were throwing bricks and in va
rious other ways endeavoring to annihi-
late each other
Swego, the nonunion leader, pulled a
revolver, but before he had time to use
it one of the other gang stabbed him
in the neck AS he fell he was grabbed
by the police and hustled toward the
patrol wagon. There were but three of
fcers on the ground at the time, one of
whom received serious wound in the
head. Henry Bedliham of 357 Central
avenue, a nonunion man, was kicked in
sensible and is terribly injured.
About this time Capt. Madigan with
forty officers arrived ON the scene. The
leaders of the riot were hustled into
patrol wagons. The police managed to
stop the fight temporarily, but there IS
every prospect of further trouble as the
men are seeking revenge on each other.

Carlo, April 21.-Dispatches received
here today from the front say that there
has been fierce fighting at Omdurman,
near Khartoum, the headquarters of the
khalifa.
Details of the engagement or its cause
are not at hand, but it is said that 500
of the Khalifa's bodyguard have been
killed and that a general feeling of I'M
rest prevails among the Khalifa's forces.
The work of sending troops to the front,
supplying them with food and ammuni-
ton, building the Notifications around
Akasheh is being carried on with adj
mirable promptness and maehine-ike
smoothness.
Further reports from the front re-
ceived here this afternoon say that be-
yond an occasional volley at long range
the Dervishes are very quiet.
Well posted military men are inclined
to the belief that the Dervish leaders are
preparing for a sudden movement of inn
portance.
There has been even greater activity

A Method of Vengeance as Peculiar

In Hayti and Martinique the venom
of the terrible Indigenous to those

groes in disposing OF their enemies. A
horrible but well authen ticated in
stance of negro ingenuity and malevo-

coast, had been whipped by the order
of his master, che of the great planter

the bedroom of the beautiful daughter
of the planter. He dragged it to the
bed, lifted the coverings and coiIed the
reptile on the sheet. When this was
done he. carried the dead snake away
and cast it into an adjacent stream.

ONLY PARTIAL REFORM.
Spain Tries to Turn the Cuban Question
Into One of Commerce.


Madrid April 23.-According to the
current story, the Spanish government is
to grant home rule to Cuba very soon on
much broader scale than contemplated
in the bills which have so far passed the
Cortes, and that this concession is to be
supplemented by tariff reforms and a
treaty of reciprocity to develop trade be-
tween the United States and the Spanish
West Indies.
Marked hesitation, however, is again
visible in official circles, and the minis
terial press seems to have instructions to
say that the utmost that can be done is
to carry out in part the administrative
and economical reforms in Cuba and
Porto Rico, but not the political reforms
the insurgents submit Internationally.
MUCH Importance is attached to an in
spired article in Eel Dia, a Conservative
paper, saying Premier Canovas entirely
dissents from the opinion of Senior Moret,
holding that the United States has no
right to interfere in Cuba, and that if it
tries to exert pressure IN favor OF Cuban
autonomy all Spaniards will resist. The
same paper says Premier Canoyas is far
from contemplating West Indian home
rule, and that he has not even deter
mined how far or when he will put into
effect the bill passed last year. which
falls much short of autonomy, which the
SDaniards never would tolerate.

authorities rule those colonies.

Noticed Syengai last night. That is,
he succeeded in putting Wilton Lackaye
under the mysterious influence. Mr..
Lackaye has had widespread success as
the impersonator of Du Maurier's weird
villain in "Trilby,' and when it was
proposed that he should make a personal
test of Santanelli's hypnotic gifts he
laughingly agreed. The suggestion was
made at a supper party in the restaurant
of the Marlborough hotel. When asked
what his sensations had been he said he
had felt an oppression across his chest,
followed by a greater and greater in
clination to sleep. He did not believe
he had been at any time utterly I'M
conscious, but he was nearly so.

A DENVER BANK FAILS.
Believed that the Depositors will be Paid
In Full.

Denver, Col, April 22.-The American
National bank failed to open this morn
ing. A notice was posted on the door
that the directors had decided to liqui-
date The step was taken on account
of internal dissension. 1t is said all de-
positors will be paid in full. Zeph 7.
Hill is in charge of the bank on behalf
of the government.
The announcement of the failure does
not come as a surprise to the business
men of Denver nor indicate any lack
of confidence in the general business
situation.
The condition of the bank has been
weak for a long time because of dis
agreements among the large stockhold-
ers, directors and officers.
