ANOTHER DEMO-POP RALLY
This Time Ed Little Feeds Multitude
With Fishy Statements.


| Ed Little has come and gone and
Wichita is still doing business at the
old stand. The court house clock will
strike as usual today, the street cars
win run, the banks Will open, the
pumps Will yield water, the boys and
| girls viii go to school and men and wo-
men will look as they looked yesterday.
From the way Colonel Taylor and
| Will Ayres and Jim Derr and Rufe
Cone and ain the other prophets talked
yesterday one would think that Ed
Little would fairly turn the town over
last night and reverse the order of ev-
erything.
There viii not be a Republican less
in town today than there was yesterday
If he has not died or moved away. 1t is
certain that Ed Littles boyish jokes on
Moses did not change them. Half of
his alleged speech was devoted TO jests
ebout the greatest leader raised by God
in the old dTspensation.
Mr.. Little devoted an his speech to
the financial question and it is safe 10
say that no speaker on either side came
to Wichita this year who knows less
ebout monetary science than ne does. He

phrases that set the house cheering and

cause of the issue OF 500, 900. 900 in bonds

THE CUBAN IABR0GLlO. Insurgents Under Force
 Are on the Move. Gomez and His Columns
 Around Havana.
General WeyIer, the New Com mander of Cuba, Sails from
 Madrid for Havana.

MADRID, Jan. N.-An official dis patch from Havana says the bulk of the insurgents forces, actively pur sued by Spanish troops, have been compelled to abandon the provinces of Pinar del Rio and Havana. A dis patch from Havana last night to the Associated Press announced that Gen eral Maximo Gomez and his column were yesterday afternoon about the center of the province of Havana, it be- ing evident that he had counter marched after he had reached the bor- ders of the province of Matanzas.
 General Valeriano Weyler, the newly appointed captain-general of Cuba, left this city last evening for Havana. A large crowd greeted him at the de- pot. In a brief speech in response to the enthusiastic greeting General Wey,er said he strongly hoped to be able soon to announce the complete establishment of the sovereignty of Spain over Cuba. The queen regent has cabld thanks to Marshall Campos for services rendered Spain in Cuba.

BlOOdshed Over a Dis
 pute in Q Card Game.
The Victim Dies Almost ln-
 Stantly.
Deed was Committed By the Pro- prietor Of the "Bucket Of
 Blood" Saloon.

A tragedy occurred at the little town of Holbrook early Sunday evening, says the Flagstaff Democrat.
 Shortly after 6 o'clock the report of a pistol shot broke the Sabbath quiet and soon the news that a foul and in excusable murder had been committed threw the townspeople into fever of excitement
 The quarrel that culminated in the tragedy began in saloon bearing the shudderingly repu.sive name Bucket of Blood.'
 Two men were playing cards. Sud denly dispute arose and angry words passed between them. One man drew a revolver and forced the other to re treat to the street. In front of the drug store the aggressor fired and his victim fell dead on the highway. Rushing there the people found his shirt front crimsoned with the blood that flowed from the death wound. He had been shot through the heart.
 The dead man was George c. Hiatt, barber, and his slayer, Harry Don nelly, the manager of the saloon. During the excitement Donnelly de clared that no man could take him alive but Deputy Sheriff Hofford. Sheriff Owens was out of town and Mr. Hofford lost no time in demon strat:ng the truth of his boast, so far as his ability to arrest him was con cerned.
 When the news of the tragedy was borne to the widow of the dead man she sank Iifeless to the floor and ac cording to reports received last night she was still unconscious at a late hour Hiatt came to Holbrook about three months ago, presumably from Colorado. T. s. Bunch, a former resi- dent of Holbrook, says the always re- garded Donnelly as a harmless sort of fellow.
 The murderer will probably have a preliminary hearing at Winslow to- day. The Bucket of Blood" saloon is the property of F. J. Wattron, but Donnelly ran the place. It has indeed a bloody record It is said that no less than nine men have been killed there.

A PERSONAL INDIGNITY.
More Public Washing of the Shipp-
 Thomas Dirty Linen.

Mrs. Shipp came before Justice Johnstone yesterday charged with an assault upon Mrs. w. H. Thomas, the offense consisting in an attempt to spit in the latter's face As is now well known to the community at large, Mrs. Shipp was the mother of Thomas de- ceased first wife and has latterly been interested in the Thomas household through the existence therein of two grandchildren. It is also we'll known that the relations of the two house holds were not dissimilar to those of the noted Kilkenny cats and mayhap, the end will be the same.
 The talented city attorney came gal lantly to the rescue of femininity in distress and argued that no misde- meanor was committed because. for sooth, Mrs. Thomas had dodged and the saliva had touched not her face but her apparel.
 The defendant on the stand in her own behalf, recited the story of her woes for this many a day agone, and even exaggerating the usual feminine course, passed in her remarks into out side testimony relevant to the action
 The magistrate had to adopt drastic measures and only damned the tor rent of speech by threat to commit the witness to jail forthwith.
 Decision was reserved by the court till 10 this morning.

IN THE POWER OF SPAIN. Americans in the Grasp
 of SpaniardS. Call of Florida, Presents a
 Resolution.
He Demands Protection for Amer jeans ana that an Inquiry
 be Made.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-Senator Call of Florida today in the senate read the following telegram received from Key West:
 "The Marquis Rodriguez has been taken from the steamer Olivett last Wednesday. Louis s. Mallien and son were also taken at Havana. It is the duty of all American citizens to try to get them out of the grasp of the Span ish authorities
 Senator Call offered a resolution re- citing the arrests and directing the ex- ecutive authorities to ascertain if any just cause for the arrest existed and if not to demand their immediate re- lease. Senator Hoar suggested that the tone of the resolution was too inn perative. There seems to be an idea, Senator Hoar said, that the senate of the United States is constantly loaded with cannon which can be touched off at any time by senator. The senator urged that an inquiry of the state de- partment be made before the demand. Senator Call answered that he wished to know whether the American flag. afforded any protection to our citizens. He referred to the arrests of Americans in Cuba while the citizens of other countries were not disturbed. Senator Sherman pointed out that such a res olution might give the senate trouble in other cases It should go to the committee on foreign relations for con- sideration. It was so ordered.

EEL DORMIDO."
A Mexican to Whom Sleep Was the
 Reigning Passion

In reference to 'fEl Dorm;do," to whom reference was made in yester- days Republicans the interesting fact that his name of The Sleeping One" is by inheritance. His father, Pedro Ortega, was remarkable among the MeXica population for his capacity for sleep. He often would be met jogging along the road on a faithful mule, asleep to the world and all its troubles and the first essential to talk was to shake him awake
 Despite this, "El Dormido" was an es5imable sort of fellow and a shrewd one and made not little money. It was money that caused his death. He was travelling to Phoenix one day in 1884 with the proceeds of his work, a s4O0 check from the Tip Top Mining company, when shot from ambush The murderer, one Juan Encinas, rob bed the body, collected on the check and fled ito Sonora, where he is yet supposed to be-

AWFUL EXPLOSION. .
Several People Killed as the Result of
 the Catastrophe

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Jan. 21.-A terrific explosion occurred this fore noon on the second floor of the four story brick building owned and par tially occupied by English & Mersy, makers and dealers in carriage hard ware. The explosion was followed by an almost instant outbreak of fire, and in a few seconds the three upper stor- ies were in flames. It is stated that there were forty persons at work in the building and it was seemsn gly inn possible for all to escape. The fire men were helpless to save the burning building and confined themselves to saving the surrounding property. At this hour it is impossible to give the number of dead. The explosion was caused by gas while making experi- ments.
 Two bodies have been recovered from the ruins of the English & Mersy building. They are those of Wm. Stevens, a bookkeeper, and a workman named Toof

SUGAR BOUNTY.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The house committee on judiciary today took steps in investigating the action of Comptroller Bowler in withholding the sugar bounty appropriation.

A HONEYMOON NIPPED.
Honda and Her Lover Secured in the
 Phoenix Jail.

Miss Honda, the Japanese financ;er, was returned yesterday from Prescott, as was also Mcdonald, the American implicated in the affair. Both are now in jail, but will be brought before Jus tice Johnstone this morning.
 Honda is undoubtedly what would be called beauty in Yokohama, but looked far from angelic as she glared through the bars of the woman's cell at the court house yesterday. She is about as tough as they are made" To remove her from the car at Prescott took the united strength of three men, f1r she fought like 8 very demon. Of he capture the Journai-Miner says:
 There was quite an exciting scene at the depot yesterday afternoon en the arrival of the north bound train from Phoenix. The sheriff's office had tele- graphic authority to arrest a Japanese woman who was supposed to be a pas senger on the train. Deputy Munds had no trouble in locating the Jap lady, but when he attempted to arrest her his trouble commenced She mani fested the same warlike spirit that her race showed during its recent trouble WIUu CulId duu uously to being arrested. Deputy Nellis came to the assistance of Deputy Munds, but the combined efforts of both failed to remove her from her seat. Mike Fagin then came to the asa.stance of the off1cerKs' and the lady" was removed from the car fighting like an enraged tigress at every step.
 
 As the office at Prescott had not been advised of any charge against the man he was allowed to go without searching, and when arrested had in his possession only s35O On the per son Of the woman was found $470. They had purchased tickets to Lead vile at a cost of S96. Their trunks | were stopped and will be shipped back to Phoenix and in them it is believed i will be found another substantial DOT tion of the 1000 with which the pair decamped.
 MdDonaly took advantage of his brief spell of liberty in Prescott to se- cure R. M. Ling as his attorney, and Ling arrived with them to conduct the defense. Curiously enough it should be noted that just eleven local barris- ters of Wall street fame had business at the Santa Fe depot or the jail yes terday afternoon at 3.
 No inkling of the defense has been given
