reported at Havana that Senior Sebas.

neut sugar planters in Cuba and the
owner of the great Tivotivo estate,
fifteen miles east of Havana, has been
hanged by party of rebels. The
rebels took him from his home, escort

and told him that the planters must be
made to understand that the orders
given to them could not be di.obeyed
with impunity. After the insurgents
rode away the body of Senior Ulacias
was found hanging from tree. Thi,

THE FACTS that Mr.. Lindsay, the
Presidents mouthpiece in the Senate,
made speech in that body to-day, in
favor of the independence of Cuba, and
that the Senate committee on foreign
relations agreed to report resolutions
practically of the same purport tend
very much to sustain the report refer
red to in the GAZETTE's Washington

effect that war with Cuba and the an

BALTIMORE, Md, Feb. 2S.-The
fight between Mayor Hooper and the
city council, which reached crisis last
night may involve revolution in the

prised that the councilmen should
have deemed it wise to take step so
radical; that the movement of the
spoilsmen would not he accorded the

said, that the council will not pass
the ordinance over my veto. It would
be a mistake, l honestly believe I

people upon the matter will not be
