SPAINtS CUP OF WOE.

The Possibility of Insurrection In Porto
Rico-The Situation I'm the Philippines
More Awful Stories of Barbarities Prac-
ticed on Both Sides-A Seditious Rising
in the Province of BataIgas.
NEW YORK, Oct. 3l.-A Herald cor
respondent in Porto Rico, writing I'M
der date OF October %, says:
Spain's cup Of woe will certainly be
filled to Overlooking if, as some sus-
pect is possible, a spark from Cuban
camp fires blows Porto Rico skyward
and proves sufficient to start the flame
of insurrection here.
Far from failing to realize the stu.
ton the government knows full well
the inflamable nature of the material
with which it is dealing, and carries
its precautions almost to the verge OF
eXaggeration. If the people tell the
truth, however, there is no likelihood
of any trouble here, at least while the
struggle in Cuba goes n That
bitter contest won by the in
surgents, their ends gained, there
can be no doubt but that there would
be an uprising in Porto Rico; but until
hat time comes the island is not likely
to give Spain any trouble other than
may be made by contributions to the
cause of Cuba through the junta in
New York.
The great difficulty in finding out
what, if anything, is going on behind
the scenes in Porto Rico is that the ma.
tives are too frightened to talk, even
to the extent of telling the simple
truth. l was told that it was equally
dangerous to receive letters from
abroad from friends, for if they con-
tanned any illusions to the state of
affairs in Porto Rico or commented on
the probable outcome of the Cuban
moned before the authorities and be
called upon to explain why he was in
receipt of correspondence of such a
nature.
In Cavite, the position appears to re.
main rs last reported, the rebels being
in possession of the province with the
exception of the town and arsenal.
More awful stories are circulated Of
shocking atrocities committed on both
SIDES n WOma VINO confessed the
plot to a priest is now under the pro-
lection of the government, while the
priest who divulged the secret was
among those caught in the convent at
linus, and he was flayed to death and
then roasted.
Arrests of rich natives continue to
be made and no one knows what their
fate will be.
From the province of Batalgas it
was reported that late in September
there had been a seditious rising in
the parish of Tuy, in which it was
that 1000 persons took part.
Seventy men of the government
stationed there defended
themselves heroically and next
day large r~einforcements arrived,
bringing the number up to 1,2OO. when
the rebels were dispersed with great
loss.
1t was stated that the force in the
provincial capital was sufficient for all
contingencies. The convent was for
titled and 20 priests from the sur.
rounding parishes had taken refuge
there. A volunteer force had been
formed.

RUSSIA AND
An Entente Said to lie In Existence Do
tween the Two Powers.


LONDON, Oct. ala dispatch to the
Pail Mall Gazette from Copenhagen
says an entente was concluded be-
tween Russia and Denmark during the
premiership of NJ. Estrup, who re.
signed from the presidency of the
Danish ministry in 1894, which places
at the disposal of Russia, in the
event of her engaging in war with
Germany. or in a war involving France
and Russia against the ~dreibund, the
whole of the available forces of Den.
mark, with power on the part of Rus.
STA to occupy Copenhagen and other
Danish harbors and fortified works.
In return Russia guarantees the in
tegrity of Denmark with the res.
toration of Danish Schleswig to
the kingdom. On the part OF
France and Russia the scheme in the
event of an attack upon Germany
makes Copenhagen the points of con-
centration for the allied fleets and
army corps, the latter of which could
be landed in Germany at an unexpect-
ed point within a single night.
The Pail Mall Gazette adds:
THE government in Berlin has for
a long time scented this danger, hence
they expedited the completion of the
Baltic-North Sea canal, and made
other preparations. The agreement
explains why, though the annual
budget of Denmark was n little over
e3, 900, 900, millions were spent in
fortifying Copenhagen, which is now
provided with the best modern arma-
ment and the latest projectiles and
fort works, thus securing to Denmark
the key to the Baltic"

MISSOURI A NEWS
biame the Servant.

Miss Alice Plat. aged %. a servant
In the household of Charles Mussey, a
prominent attorney of Kansas City,
was arrested IN suspicion of having
poisoned Mrs. Mussey's mother, aged
60, and three children. She is believed
to have been insane.
Mrs. Ellen L. Terrence, Mrs. Mus
sey's mother. died suddenly several
weeks ago, supposedly from stomach
complaint. Soon after that Hugh, a
s~ix-year-old son of the Musseys, was
saved from morphine poisoning, and
the other day Sue, aged four, and
Elizabeth, aged ten years, died of
strychnine poisoning, taken in cookies
given them by the ~servant. The death
OF Mrs. Terrence and the poisoning
of the boy Hugh were at the
time, supposed to be natural, but
circumstances developed the other
dav, it is said, tend to fasten the poi.
soning of all four upon the servant.
At the coroner's office Miss Platt stead
lastly maintained her innocence, but
was held for development. The only
reason assigned for the alleged crime
is insanity, which the Musseys have
suspected for come time. The body of
Mrs. Terrence, which was taken 10
heokuk, Ia, for burial, will be ex-
humed.

STERLING, Ky, Nov. AT the close
of a political meeting here Saturday a
