With Ten Thousand Antericens He Could
Whip Hegler's Forces.


BEATRICE, NEBR. Dec. 14.-General
L. w. Colby, Assistant Attorney General
during President Harrisons administra-
ton and for many years at the head of
the Nebraska National Guard, takes an
advanced position on the Cuban troubles
and the alleged assassination of Maceo.
He said to-day:
II have been studying the situation and
conditions down there closely, and I am
satisfied that with 900 men, and by that
/ mean American men, could whip
Weyler and his Spanish soldiers, and if
could get some wealthy American to back
me in it would do it. The manner in
which the war against the Cuban patriots
has been conducted is outrageous, and if
we had a President with an atom of pat
riotic blood in his veins it would not have
been permitted to continue this long. /
say it is an outrage that such warfare
should be permitted on civilized globe"

Havana NetUspdpers DeTend the Acts of
Ahunsada, the -Assassin.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Dec. 14-A special
from Key West, Fla, says: News comes
from Havana that the Maceo murder story,
as cabled from the United States, has set
the papers wild, and their editorials yes
terday were bitter against the Cubans,
who, they declare, have set this false re-
port afoat to gain aid in the United
States, and they decaim against the
United States for "listening to such false
stories"
Spanish honor will not tolerate such
practices much longer" says La Lucha in
vainglorious editorial, "and the sooner
the nation of shopkeepers knows this the
better. The Spanlards are nation of sol
diers with untarnished honor, and they
do not propose to be intimidated by
Yankee mercenaries any longer. Notice
is given also to the mongrel Cubans who
hover in the midst of safety hurting their
dirty insults at Spain that they cannot do
this much longer"
The American journals are also ex-
coriated for their part in giving aid and
encouragement to the Cuban cause. AS
regards the alleged assa ssination of
Maceo, the papers treat the matter as
false report spread by the Cuban Junta to
try to aid their cause by making Spain
odious. They say the Marquis Ahumada
is noble gentleman who would scorn to
do any such act. and they deny that
Maceo had an invitation to meet him,
Rather, they say, Maceo was feeling the
effects OF Weyler's resistless onward
march, and deserted his so-called army
and fed to his death. They still say that
Maceo was killed in fair fight and that
Major Cirujeda gained a signal victory
with an inferior force. Denun Citations of
Americans appear in all the editorials.
the language in some being very bitter.
Trouble has been impending between
the Cuban and Spanish residents here all
day, and several times collisions were
narrowly avoided. Several of the Spanish
residents attempted to celebrate the kill
ing of Maceo, but the Cubans gathered in
ominons crowds, many of them armed,
and the police interfered to prevent
trouble Had not this been done blood
would have been spilled. The Cubans
here are loud in their threats against the
Spanish Government and mass meetings
will be held to protest to the American
people and to the American Congress to
investigate the murder of Maceo and if
the truth ascertained be as published to
demand that the belligerency of the
Cubans be recognized.

Mysterious Epidemic of 1893 Again
Makes Its Appearance I'm Paris.
From the Washington Star.

From the Was hington Star.
The question of infected parrots, which
created such a sensation in Paris two
years ago, seems 10 have again come be
lore the public. Al Versailles, at Maisons-
Lafltte. says the. Temps there has been
reported the death of several persons,
who have been struck down. it would
seem. by this same mysterious disease,
hich was said 10 have been brought into
France In 1888 by exotic parrots.
The inquiry made 10y NJ. Dujardin-
Beaumetz for the Seine COnseil d'Hygiene
resulted at first in the conclusion that
the deaths were merely cases Of coincl-
dence, but he has again returned to the
subject, seconded by DR.. Dubief, and IS
sued his new report. In this document
NJ, Dujardin-B eaumeiz states that 1t Is
very possible that the parrots may have
something to do with these epidemics.
Eberuh and Violin, he points out, nave &c
scribed how parrots have imported into
Europe a septic disease which can be de-
termined by the microscope.
However, Parisians need not be alarmed
by the reports which have recently been
spread, for at no bird dealers has there
been discovered a single diseased parrot.
NJ. Nocard, director Of the Abort Neter-
mary school. has, however, been making
some experiments, which is distinct
step toward a solution Of the problem as to
whether parrots can really spread disease.
Il was unable" says NJ. Nocard, dur
ing the epidemic of 1898 to procure sin
gle parrot imported from America But
l have now got a packet OF the wings
of birds which died during the voyage
from Buenos Ayres to Havre l have
discovered a special micrObe extremely
virulent, which does not seem to me to
be that observed by the Germans, Eberth
and Wolff; and fowls. mice and rabbits
which l inoculated with the microbe died
in less than forty Eight hours.
Il can even spread the disease without
having recourse to incubation. For ex-
ample. by placing ten dry wings at the
bottom of the cage of a healthy parrot
the bird died in less than twenty hours.
The Investigation would have been com
pie had ! been able to show that the
death Of persons in 1893 was also due
10 the action of this microbe, but 1 have
seen none of these sick people"
As several new case of the mysterious
disease of 1898 have just broken out in
the department of Seine-et-Oise the Con-
sell d'Hygiene is now in a position to in
Yestlgate the ORIGIN Of the outbreak.

From the New York Sun.

London, Jan. n.-Great progress has al
ready been made with Prof. Rontgen's
wonderful discovery of a new light, if that
be proper description of it. which l
cabled few days ago. Prof Klupathy
of the Pesth University has obtained even
greater success in photographing conceal

ments by enclosing objects to be photo
graphed in a variety of coverings 1t has
been ascertained that the light from
Crooke's tube penetrates not only organic
matter, but also one metal aluminium
Prof. Rontgen has sent rays of the new
chemical light through aluminium plates
an inch thick, and they went as clean
through as if the substance had been
glass. The same was the case with two
sets of books, including many volumes
these he placed between a Crooke's tube
and an ordinary compass. Behind them
was a wooden case with dry plates and
the result was as complete photograph
OF the compass as is possible.

He Recovered the Gold He Hid in an
Old Iron Pot.
From the Philadelphia Record.


From the Philadelphia Record.
A discovery so surprising and delightful
that it almost overcame him was made
yesterday by Adam Benner. when he
found his lOng-missirg $500 in gold coin
in the cellar of his home, No. 1888 Vienna
street, Early in August Benner and his
wife determined in their old age never
again to entrust their worldly treasure to
banks, as they had lost considerable money
by the failure of the Shackamaxon Bank
years before. They concluded, conse-
quently, to hide their capital, some 81, 300,
in an iron pot among some iron scrap in
the cellar of their home Some time in Oc-
tober man came along who was buying
old iron, and, without giving the hidden
gold a second thought, they sold the cell
lar, scrap iron to hfm, practically for a
song. 4ilEea "4lg 4Hi .!n
Next day they thought of their gold, and
reported the supposed loss to Lieut. Tut
tie of the Eleventh district, who, after a
great hunt. traced the sold scrap iron to
a dealer. The latter in turn had sent il
with other scrap to Reading, where all
traces of it were lost.
Benner bore his loss as best he could
until yesterday, when, in a search under
found, just where he himself had put it
in August 1895.
with GREATNESS haste he grabbed up the
coveted iron pot and sped around the cor
ner and into the Eleventh district station
house, hugging his treasure to his breast.
House Sergeant Kenny, who was on du-
~, saw the utmost paralyzeu man enter
and supposed some. dreadful thing had
happened. -.s-A
Benner gasped out. al have found itr'
and was about to tumble the gold out on
the desk, when the sergeant restrained
him.
AS soon as Benner had sufficiently re-
covered his senses he requested Sergeant
Kenny TO count the money over for him.
it panned out 81, 295 in shining gold pieces,
and SAL in silver coin, which was the ex-
act amount that the old man had hidden
and for a time lost track of.
another mystery solved said the med
itative sergeant, as his visitor left the
room with his money in the old iron pot.
