Palma Says Cubans Have No Intention
of Laying Down Their Arms.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-At the headquar-
ters Of the Cuban Junta to-day Gen. Es-
trada Palma and his secretaries were kept
busy answering questions as to the disposi-
tion of the patriot forces I'm Cuba and de-
nying reports that General Maceo's death
was but the beginning of the end Of the
war. In talking of affairs. General Palma
stated that the Cuban army was now as
strong in point of numbers and enthusiasm
as it ever had been and that the Cubans
have full faith in General Rivera, who has
succeeded MaceO in command The Cuban
forces in the province of Pinar del Rio. he
said, are encamped on the mountain tops,
and could afford to laugh at General Wey-
ler's declaration that he would soon dis
lodge and scatter them and wind up the
war. General Rivera" said General
Palma, has 5000 armed men under him at
present, and with provisions enough to last
for six months i'm his mountain STRONGHOLD.
1t is simply idle for General Weyler to
make such a sweeping declaration. There
has been and there will be no general lay
ing down of arms on the part of the
Cubans. such as has been reported. AS for
DIR. ZertuchaS charges that Maceo was
driven to death by deep despair by reason
of nonsupport accorded to him by the
Cuban allies in this country, is simply in
famous and unworthy of contradiction.
General Palma said he had heard nothing
definite about the reported adventure Of

SEVEN LYNCHINGS In A WEEK
PART Or KENTUCKY SEEMINGLY
RULED By LAwLEss MODS.
Negro Murderer's Life Saved by the
Speech To an Excited Throng.

OWENSBORO, Ky. Dec. 26.-Alfred Holt
colored alias Alexander, the murderer of
Police Officer A. w. White, was taken from
Jail by mob at 2:30 o'clock this morning
and hanged to a tree in the courthouse
yard. The lynching was the most quiet and
orderly, perhaps, ever conducted i'm the
State, and few persons, save those having
business on the public square at the time,
knew anything about it.
About 2:15 O'Clock two men knocked at the
Jail doors, and. in response to a question
from Deputy Jailer John Ashby, jr.. said
they had a prisoner they wished to lock
Up for safekeepfng. Thus thrown off his
guard. young Ashby opened the door, only
10 face two big revolvers. He was over
powered before he could utter a cry. and
the keys were taken from him. Pleading
for his life, Holt was taken out of jail
through the courthouse yard to the east
side, facing the Rudd House He was given
ample time to pray. when a rope was
placed about his neck. At the word of
command he was swung high in the air,
and in ten minutes was dead. He had
strangied 10 death.
When the mob had made sure that it's
work was complete its members mounted
their horses in neighboring streets and al
@OSSs o'A1N iCiI tOWh quietly lNcy idu
come. While there was much mob talk at
first. il was generally accepted that after
much damaging evidence had been brought
out against Holt the law would be allowed
10 take its course. The mob's coming was
consequently unexpected
Holt'S crime was committed on the morn
ing OF Nov. IA last, after the election. Of
ncer White was killed with his own pistol
which was taken from his pocket by ne
gro named George Basket and handed to
Holt. Holt escaped. but was captured short
~ afterwards at Louisville and brought
here three weeks ago. his trial be-
gun early this week. and the Common
wealth rested on Tuesday after producing
conclusive evidence of the negro's guilt.
Including Holt, seven men have met
death at the hands of mobs in Kentucky
the past week Last Saturday Henry Fin
ley was called to his door, near Mayfield,
Graves county. and shot to death by a
mob of masked men. Two days before
the ProctorS three in number were VIC
tins of "a mob in Logan county, two being
hanged and the other being shot to death

of this city, and Owen Zeigler, of Phil
adelphia, light weights who aspire to cham
pionship honors, met tonight in the Broad
way Athletic Clubs arena in a twenty
round CO. and the result was a draw. Up
to the last round Mcfarland had the better
of the contest, but the Philadelphian
worked very cleverly in the last round and
turned what promised to be "a lost battle
into a draw Mcfarland avoided Zeigler's
rushes splendidly. and many a time stopped
hard jabs and swings. 1t was said that the
winner of to-nights go would be pitted
against the winner of the McKeever-La-
vigne bout, which Is to take place next
Monday. Neither of the boys showed form
enough tonight to entitle him to so with
the Saginaw champion, and they are likely
TO wait long time yet before they can
claim the right to meet Lavigne. The at
