Indignation Meeting.

The citizens of Frankfort are greatly
and justly incensed at the appearance
of soldiers in their city by order of a
Republican Governor. We were in
formed yesterday by gentleman of
that city that an Indignation meeting
would be held and under the high
state of excitement it was feared that
trouble would be almost unavoidable

BABES
AND HELPLESS WOMEN
Used as Shields By the Spanish
Troops.
Against the Bullets of an In
surgent Column.

Key West, Fla. March 12.-Of al
the devilish deeds charged to the Span
iards since the beginning of the presen
war in Cuba the most devilish is tina
committed at the town of Sella de
Aqua, Province of Havana. Accord.
ing to advices received here an insur.
gent column appeared before the
place Tuesday. AS soon as the com.
mander of the Spanish garrison saw
the insurgents in the distance he or.
dored his soldiers to seize every Cuban
in town. The order was obeyed,
then the CuDans-men, women and
children--were forced at the
POINT OF THE BAYoNEr
To stand in line in front of the Span
ish troops. There were women in the
line who were nursing babies, and lit
tie children were clinging to the skirts
of many. The Cubans were in great
terror as the insurgents advanced to
attack. The insurgents seeing the un-
armed men, women and children stan
ding in front of the Spanish troops,
withheld their fire, and finally with
drew without attacking the town.
After the insurgents withdrew the in
habitants fled to Havana, where they
told the story. and sent a committee to
Gen. Weyler 10 complain OF the con-
duct of the Spanish troops.
The protest against the action of Con-
gress, circulated in Havana for sigma
lures, has nearly caused riot. Many
persons who refused to sign have been
threatened, and others signed under
duress. Members of the Union Club
threatened to depose the President for
signing the Clubs name. The editor
of La Discussion declined to sign the
papers name, because the owner was
absent in Madrid. He was told to
sign or quit publishing the paper, and
he signed. Feeling is very bitter over
the matter, and an outbreak is threat
ened. We, ler's proclamation pro-
viding for the confiscation of property
of those who fail to present themselves
in 10 days is bitterly denounced.
Thousands have fled from homes to
cities, and hundreds have left Cuba.
These will lose all. 1t is claimed the
order was issued to furnish Spanish
officers basis for extensive black
mail operations and to wreak VEN
5ence on Cubans generally.

Max O'Rell, March 3Oth.

The women of the Lecture Associa.
ton, feel pardonable pride in their
fouryears experience in lecture work.
When it was first begun we were dis
couraged by almost every one. "Peo-
pie will not attend lectures here-we
have tried it and lost money" these
were SONS of the many discouraging
things we had to encounter. 1t made
us feel that the word lecture was
about as effectual in keeping a crowd
away as yellow flag. But we have
proven that not only do Mt. Sterling
people 60 to lectures, but the largest
and most cultured audiences ever in
the Opera House, are there when we
present one of our entertainments
With Max O'Rell we end the course
for this season and this will be our
greatest triumph. He has only thirty
six nights in United States and we get
one. He lectures i'm only two places
in this state outside of Louisville and
Lexington. OF his four lectures
"Her Royal Highness Woman" is the
one mast complimented by the press.
The contrasts of maid, wife, and
mother of France, England and Amer
lea, make up a most delightful charac-
ter study told in the most charming
way possible. We beg for him the
audience he merits.

Louisville Tobacco Market.

Sales on our market for the week
just closed amount to 4119 hhds. with
receipts for the same period 1880 hhds.
Sales OH our market since January i,
amount 44,929 hhds. Sales of the
crop of 1895 on our market to this date
amount to 44,20l hhds.
Receipts on our market this
week have been very much cur
tailed by reason of lack of good tobac-
co handling seasons, but the. sales have
remained large as result of the ac-
emulation of uusold stock within the
past few weeks. The general char
acteristic of the market for the week
has been its Irregularity. Many sales
have been made at prices fully as
high as have been obtainable at any
time during the year, but many hogs
heads were neglected and the result
has been large reflections and the gen.
eral tone of the market may be de-
scribed as unsatisfactory except for
the fine grades of leaf and the medium
grades of the full bodied red type.

A Disgraceiul Exhibition.

On Tuesday, Mr. Dunlap, wh'
was contesting Mr.. Kaufman's sea-
in the Kentucky House of Repre-
sentatives, wrote a letter to the
House declining to longer continue
the contest When the contents o.
this letter became public the Rep.
ublican majority in the House al
once came to the conclusion they
must act at once or all chance oil
their electing United States Sen
ator would be over. So on Wed.
nesday the report of the committee
was called up and Kaufman was
summarily dismissed. For weeks
the majority had been afraid to
proceed to extremes, fearing the
Democrats of the Senate would re-
taliate, as they had threatened to
do. No sooner was the action of
the Republicans in the House re-
ported to the Senate, than the
Democrats of that body proceeded
to give the Republicans proof that
they dared and had the power to
give them a Roland for an Oliver
by as summarily ejecting Drs. Wal
ton and James from the Upper
House.
In few minutes after the Sen
ate had acted the time for the joint
session arrived James had already
succeeded in getting into the Hall
of Representatives, where the two
Houses met, but Walton was not so
fortunate. The Republicans want
ed to take the two elected Senators
into the joint session, and have
them vote, and the Democrats said
no. For time pandemonium reign
ed and scenes were enacted in and
around the Hall such as never be-
fore disgraced a session of the Ken
lucky Legislature. Things assum-
ed so threatening an aspect that
bloodshed was looked for each mo-
ment. Pistols aud knives were
nervously grasped and loud and an
CRY rose the roar of the voices of
the members and attaches almost
frenzied with rage. A number of
men who had been appointed as as
sistants to the Sergeantat-Arms
were on hand and made themselves
prominently conspicuous by their
loud clamor and threatening atti-
tudes. The Republicans finding
they were not going to be allowed
to steal the Senatership without
precipitating most direful trouble,
luieted down and refused to vote.
1t was a scene discreditable to all |
and one that it is to be
most sincerely desired may never
happen again. The only excuse
hat can be offered fer our Demo
cratic friends is that they were
the Devil with fire."

The order is as follows:

Whereas it has been made known
to me by the President of the Sen
ate and the Speaker of the House
of Representatives, that armed men
.congregate in the rotunda of the
Capitol building and in the cloak
rooms and Senate chamber thereof
during the session of the joint as
sembly, and said persons are en-
gagged in making threats to precipi-
tate a difficulty, and that unless
prompt action is taken to prevent
it serious trouble will result, you
are now, theref IRE, instructed to
summon such number of good and
reliable, honest and sober citizens
as you think necessary to preserve
the public peace. You will keep
the rotunda clear, so that the mem
bers of the Senate Will not be OBJ
structed in passing to the chamber
of the House; while the joint as
sembly is in session you will keep
all persons out of the rotunda, Sen
ate chamber and cloakroom, of
either house, whom you may be-
lieve are there for the purpose of
breaking the peace Except mem
bers Of General Assembly, United
States Senator Blackburn, and the
constitutional officers thereof pro-
yided in section 249 of the State
Constitution).
SIN the event that the Speaker of

tatives, you will aid him.
"You will not allow any one to
enter the chamber of the House of

outbreak and riot. when it shall be
your duty to enter and do all in
your power to quell it. The seal of
the Commonwealth is hereto at
tached. WILLIAM o. BRADLEY,
"Governor of Kentucky"
That it should become necessary
for the Governor to issue such an
order is cause for shame to all sons
Of this old Commonwealth. If the
Governor has not the very best of
grounds for issuing such an order
ne is doing that which not only
brings shame on his State, but
which may be the cause of the very
,rouble he pretends to try to avoid.
Fortunately, for all concerned,
jhe Legislature adjourns to-day.
