SKATING AT LAKES AND PONDS.

smooth.
 The skating at Lake Whitney is fine and all those desiqors of taking whirl on the steel runners can satisfy their desires in that direction there to-day, as the snow has been cleared off by the New Haven Street Railway company. The ice is smooth and fine. being fully six 10 eight inches in thickness; so strong, in fact, as to bear the weight of horses. Large crowds will no doubt enjoy the opportunity for a good skate this afternoon and evening.
 The snow was also cleared off from Diekerman's pond yesterday, and two lunch stands have been set up there. The ice there is in fine condition. as it is also at Hagerman's pond in Fair Ha- ven.

Strife in South Dakota Over the Sacking of
Newspaper Office Grows
9iffer

CHAMBERLAIN S. OAK, March Is
The situation is becoming squally in
Aurora County over the sacking and burn
ing of the Mitchell Mail office, and the
regulars may have to be called out. After
the destruction of his Office Editor Mac
Bride went to Plankinton, twenty miles
from Mitchell, and two of the newspapers
there promptly took up his fight, the
Standard, in its regular edition, being par
ticularly bitter in its attacks upon the
participants. An extra edition of that
paper was issued by MacBride and another
attack was made upon the formers s
Mitchell enemies.
1t having been intimated by some one in
Mitchell that the next bonfire would occur
at Plankinton, Captain Andrews of the
Standard, going upon the supposition that
the alleged threat was intended for him, In
this weeks issue of his paper refers to the
matter and says that the local undertaken
has on his hands good supply of coffins,
and that if an attempt is made to carry
out the alleged threat of burning him out
those who attempt it need not carry cof-
fms with them, as the expense of inter-
ment is as cheap in Plankinton as in

Woods EAS TERN RECORD
Pinkerton Detectives Identify the
Forger as an Old
Offender.
Once Arrested in Boston, But Released
on a Promise That He Would
Depart.

BOSTON, MASS, March 15.--The noto-
rious forger who swindled banks in San
Francisco early in January last out of
$40 GOO on a raised draft has been identi-
fed by the authorities of this city as a
well-known confidence man named Frank
i. Seaver, but who is better known in this
city by the name of Frederick Stebbins.
Seaver was caught on February 90 last
in st. Paul, Minn., where he gave the name
of ID. W. Woods. He was unknown there,
but his picture was forwarded to Boston,
and this forenoon Superintendent John
Cornish of the Pinkerton agency in this
city, and Chief Inspector William B.
Watts and Inspector Houghton identified
the forger as none other than the man who
was arrested here on February 1. 1895.
Early in January Seaver, alias Stebbins,
cut wide swath in San Francisco, where
he was known as A. II. Holmes and A. H.
Dean, representing himself to be mer-
chandise broker. He was arrested on sus-
picon in this city On February 1, 1885, He
admitted that it was his intention to beat
people engaged in the mercantile line of
business, but as there was nothing GRIM
inal against him in this city he was al
lowed to go on condition that he would
leave the city.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 15.-It is
probable that the week opening tomorrow

bate in the Senate. for Sherman. IN charge
of the conference report, has given notice
that he intends to press the question to an
early vote. Senator Morgan of Alabama,
the ex-chairman of the committee, has the
floor on the report whenever it is called up.
1t is not unlikely that he will reply to some
of the structures upon the members of the
Senate made by Minister de LONE. Others
who intend to speak on the subject are
Senators Platt of Connecticut, White of Cal
ifofnia, and probably Butler of North Car
olina.
The chief objection to the conference re-
port is the acceptance by the Senate con-
ferees of the third clause of the House
resolution relating to Intervention. This
identical proposition was submitted to the
Senate Committee, and after mature de-
liberation was rejected. One prominent
Senator, who intends to speak on this SUBJ
ject, says that if the Senate Committee
had reported this clause in its own resolu-
tons they would not have received one
third of the vote of the Senate.
The objection to this clause is so bitter
that it is not impossible the report may be
sent back to conference, although such a
contingency is not seriously expected.
One Senator, who has given the.question
careful consideration, is authority for the
statement that the report will be agreed
to, but that the vote against it will be at
least twenty, instead of six, as against the
original proposition.

Mistakes a Friendly Column for
General Bandera's Rebel
Army.
HEAVY LOSS OF LIFE RESULTS.
Three Volleys Fired at Short Range
Before the Disastrous Blunder
Is Discovered.

HAVANA, CUBA, March 15.-An un-
toward military accident that occurred
last night, growing out Of a misunder-
standing of the reply to challenge, re-
suited in the killing of twelve soldiers and
the wounding of number of others. A
small band OF insurgents had set fire to the
cane and buildings on sugar. estate near
Mariana, province of Havana. The smoke
attracted the attention of two columns of
Spanish troops who were advancing in
search of the rebels. The column which
first arrived on the estate entrenched
itself as precaution against any sudden
attack from the insurgents, who were sup
posed to be near.
The second column, consisting Of the
San Quintin battalion, arrived on the
scene after dark. As it approached the
entertainments of the first column it was
hailed by the usual '.Alerta" from
picket, and responded by calling out the
name OF the battalion-San Quintin.
The picket, confused by the sudden ap-
proach of the column, misunderstood the
reply, taking it, from the similarity OF
the sound. to be "Quintin Bandera, )" the
name of one OF the rebel leaders. He at
once concluded that the insurgents were
moving to attack the column to which he
belonged, and, without further parIey.
discharged his piece and fell back into the
entrer chments, where the report of his
rifle had caused all the troops to seize
their arms and prepare to repel an at
tack.
The front column had. in the meantime,
continued to advance, snpposing that it
had come upon the rebels, for whom it
was looking. 1t had not gone far before
the first column poured volley into its
ranks. The second column returned the
fire, and then, in response to an order,
fixed bayonets and rushed forward to take
the entrenchments by storm.
AS the soldiers went over the entrench-
ments the first column poured another vol
ley into them, and then when the troops
came into close quarters it was discovered
from the uniforms and flags that fatal
blunder had been made.
1t is reported that the losses on both
sides in killed and wounded were over thirty
but there is strong suspicion that they
were much larger.
All the circumstances tended to the max
ing of the mistake. Besides the darkness
the smoke from the burning canefields pre-
vented the combatants from recognizing
each other. The mistake is greatly de-
plored, and though it is generally held to
have been unavoidable, it is pretty certain

BERLIN, GERMANY, March 15.-Count
Goluchowski, Austrian Minister of For
eign Affairs, has returned to Vienna from
his visit to Berlin. He took the route by
the way of Dresden, where he held a brief
conversation with DR.. Schurg, President
of the Council of Ministers of Saxony, and
Herr Won Seydewitz, Saxony's Minister of
Public Instruction, who awaited his ar
rival at the station.
The results OF the Austrian Foreign
Minister here have become distinctly
visible in the changed tone of the semi
official press in regard to the relations be-
tween Germany and England. The cue
seems to have been given to deny that any
differences have existed between the Gov
ernments at Berlin and London, or else
to ignore the fact of there having been
strain IN their relations which threatened
definite ,estrangement of the two
countries.
The North German Gazette, which as re.
Gently as last Tuesday accused England of
encouraging the French desire for revenge
upon Germany. and the English news
papers of rejoicing at the prospect of
rupture of the Dreibund, referred yester-
day to England's active sympathy with
Italy, treating the matter from the stand
point of approval of England's course.
Still more significant is the fact that the
Gazette has not single word to say sug-
gesting the existence now or heretofore of
any strain in the relations between Eng
land and Germany.
Another example OF the German change
of front is shown in the Weser Zeitung of
Bremen, which publishes Berlin inspired
ne te upon the theme, England wishes to
maintain Egypt ut is in the interest of
Germany the note observes, "to preserve
the balance of power in the Mediterran-
can, and this can best be done by main
tanning the the status quo in Egypt. The
security of the Dreibund would be in
creased if the naval power of England
should re-enforce the Italo-Austrian posi-
tion.''
Finally the article argues that the inter-
ests of the Dreibund and England are so
mutually independent that no quarrel over
the Transvaal ought to be suffered to i'm.
peril these interests.
The semi official newspapers in Austria
Hungary boast of the success of Count
Goluchowski in achieving perfect under
standing with the German Emperor in re-
gard to the relations between the Dreibund
and England, and also upon other ques-
tions. The Pesther Lloyd says that tie
Dreibund is safe, and has the corollary of
the friendliness of England.
AS regards the prosecution of the Abys-
sinian campaign by Italy the Austro-Ger-
man official view OF the matter has under
gone change. Instead of advising the
continuance of active operations in Africa
until signal victory shall vindicate the
prowess of Italy, it is now held that it
would be best to limit the scope of Italian
occupation in Africa to the triangle formed
by Asmara, Keren and Massowah, hold
the line co Kassala and make peace with
King Menelik.
This plan, it is expected here, will be

VIENNA, AUSTRIA, March 15.-Several

as the anniversary of the insurrection and
the flight of Prince Metternich, the Chan
cellor of the empire. After the cere-
monies in the cemetery the crowd, on the
return to the city, attempted to march to
the Reichsrathgebaude, the houses of Par
lament, which are situated on the Ring
strasse opposite the Volksgarten, the in
tention being to make demonstration.
A detachment of mounted police pre-
vented the crowd from proceeding farther,
but not until it had had fight with the
mob. So far as is known nobody was seri-
ously hurt. Several arrests were made.

CARRIES ARMS FoR cUBANs.
The Bernsuda Makes Its Second Start for
the Island.

The Bermuda Makes Its Second Start for
the Island.
NEW YORK, N. Y, March 15.-The
Bermuda, laden with arms and ammunl-
ton, left her anchorage about two miles
south of Liberty Island at :15 o'clock this
morning and passed Sandy Hook at 10
o'clock. She cleared yesterday for Vera
Cruz and no attempt was made to detain
her to-day as she left the narbor.
The munitions of war are undoubtedly
for the Cuban insurgents. A tugboat fol-
lowed the Bermuda and it is understood
was in the employ of the Spanish Consul.
Dispatches from points along the Jersey
coast say the tug followed her out past
Asbury Park, but how far or for what pur-
pose is not known.
The Bermuda when last seen had a full
head of steam on and was headed south
ward. If, as was rumored, steamer is to
meet and transfer men 10 the Bermuda it
will undoubtedly be some way down the
coast. Captain O'Brien, an old He'll Gate
pilot, who is in command of the Bermuda
has taken out filibusterlng expeditions in
years gone by.
Early this morning eighteen men of the
crew were taken aboard the Bermuda.
About 7:30 the tugboat R. j. Barrett left
the Battery landing for the Bermuda. She
had on board the chief engineer, Thomas
Nelson, the second engineer, Hawden.
and the chief steward, Taylor. They had
previously been held as witnesses when
the Bermuda was captured ON her first
attempt to go Cubaward early on the morn
ing of February %.
Another interesting part of the affair is
the fact that Tomas Estrada Palma, the
head of the Cuban Junta, had suddenly on
Saturday night given up his room at the
Astor House, where he had been for some
time. Suspicious individuals believe that
not only filibustering expedition is under
way, but also it is the idea of the Cubans
to get their leaders and chief men together
in the island so that it may be shown to
the United States Congress that they have
well-established government and are
worthy to have belligerent rights accorded
them.
Among the prominent Cuban leaders
who have been in this city are General
Calixto Garcia, Tomas Estrada Palma
and Secretary Perez, who lately arrived
from Cuba. At the home OF General Gar
cia it was said to day that he left there
about 4. NJ. and said that he would be
home to dinner. 1t was said that he had
previously denied having any intention of
going on the proposed expedition. Secre-
tary Perez, who is said to be close to
Maceo, could not be found to-day.
ConsulGeneral Arturo Baldassano when
seen at his home tonight said that he was
fully aware of the Bermuda's movements,
but refused to discuss the situation.

NEW ORLEANS, La, March 15.--A
special from Opelousas, La, says that in

regulators and special officers three of the
regulators were wounded. one OF whom
may die.
Several brothers named Roy, in st. Ian
dry Parish, have taken upon themselves
the task CT regulating matters which did
not suit them. They whipped and un-
mercifully beat man at Villeplatte and
came into Opelousas Saturday night with
the avowed intention of taking the town.
The Mayor appointed five special officers
to spreserve the peace. About 8 o'clock
they came into collision with the regula-
tors and fifteen or twenty shots were ex-
changed, resulting in three OF the Roys
being wounded. The regulators, four in
number, were placed under arrest. None
of'the officers were hurt.
