Morrett's Views Oh SPANS Course.

New YORK, April PA dis.
patch to the Herald from Madrid
says: Senior Morett, the greatest
Spanish authority on international
law and the leader of the demo-
cratic-liberal party, has written an
article over his own signature
which appears in the Globe under
the heading Gan international
Review" After reviewing the
Cuban situation in all its bearings
Senior Morett concludes:
Sup to now our government has
done nothing to fulfil its duty. 1t
has applied the last law in spite of
the fact that what the insurgents
most feared was the application Of
reforms. So much is this the case
that seeing them so near they pre-.
cipitated the uprising. Nothing
has been done to prevent the pow
erty and starvation which now
threaten Cuba. No steps have
been taken to increase the number
of our friends or to diminish that Of
the insurgents. Everything is
still to be done, and what is worse
we are left in doubt as to how and
when it will be done. Instead Of
waiting in fear for the question to
be put to us from Washington we
ought to decide before hand what
answer will be given to the United
States and all other governments"
AS showing the interest in the
matter in Spain all the newspap-
ers have leading articles on Senior
Morrett's views. select that OF
the Impartial as being the one
which / think gives the best ex-
preston to the present sentiment.
1t says:
"Senor Morrett begins by stat
ing that it is inevitable that the
United States should take an in
terest in Cuban affairs, but the
fact that the Island OF Cuba is
more or less tempting to the Unit
ed States does not justify their in
Prevention.
"Senor Morett abandons, evil
IDENTIFY through strategy, the posi-.
tion which we must take and hold
if we are to win the first battle on
the field of international rights,
viz: That the republic has no
right to interfere in the affairs Of
Cuba, which are those Of Spain
alone. We cannot permit under
any circumstances that foreigners
should interfere in matters relat-
ing to the Cuban war"

TERRIBLE SLAUGHTER
Of Human Beings By Fanatics in the
Temple,

SAN FRANCISCO, April 25.-Pa-
pers received from the orient on
the steamer China give a vivid
description OF the slaughter of
nearly one hundred Moplah fsnat-
les in the temple at Manjeri, in
Southern India, on April 9Th. The
Moplahs were caught like rats in a
trap. Volley after volley was sent
into them by the Rsjah's followers,
and in a short time large MAORI
ty went down. The remainder,
with courage born of fanaticism,
which astonished the onlookers,
kept firing of gunsin the direction
Of the attacking party, but did no
damage. The most revolving spec
tacle was to see the wounded hav-
ing their Threats cut by their COM
rades who were able to stand. The
scene inside the temple was fright
full. Dead bodies were strewn all
over the place, and in one spot So
were lying heaped on top another.
Nearly all the bodies were fright
fully mutilated; gaping threats or
skulls literally smashed to pieces
being visible all round, and strewn
over the ground were hatchets and
knives. The general opinion is
that the worst part OF the outbreak
is over, but the military is still
out, as gang of Moplahs in an ex-
cited state are moving about the
district.

CARDINAL sATOLLrs AFFAIRS.
Will Likely be Summoned to Rome
in June,

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Cardi-
nal Satolli has received no intima-
ton, official or otherwise, as to his
successor as papal delegate and
the report that Delegate Avalardi,
present nuncio to Mexico, would
succeed him at Washington, is re-
garded as based only on specula-
ton, as no determination has been
reached at Rome. There is doubt ex-
pressed as to whether the delegate
to Mexico would be transferred
to the United States just as his
service in Mexico is beginning.
There is no intimation as yet OF
the time of Cardinal Satoll's de-
parture. There have been unoffi-
cial reports current In Rome that
a consistory would assemble in
June in which case Cardinal Sa-
TOLL might be summoned to Rome,
although his presence at the con-
sistory would not be imperative.
A general impression prevails
that when the cardinal returns to
Rome he will become member
Of the propaganda as result Of
his intimate acquaintance with
the affairs OF the church through
out the world, and particularly in
America.

JERRY Is CALLED DOWN
Sherman Saws He Isn't Fit to Associa
With Decent People


The Hutchinson News OF yesterday
has the following:
In his speech at Mcpherson last week
Jerry Simpson INDUCED in harrangue
which caught the anarchistic element
OF his crowd, and they cheered his wild
utterances TO the echo.
His attack was on John Sherman, of
course, and OF him ne said:
John Sherman. who is at the head
of the Wall street gang, which makes
its profit of the national treasury, says
that he proposes to take the last shirt
of the backs OF the people to main
tain the gold reserve. I want 10 tell
You that when John Sherman gets nv
shirt, it Will be when 1 shoulder nv
musket TO kill off such scoundrels as
John Sherman"
OF course. no one with any judgment
had any other idea than that Jerry
lied about what John Sherman said. but
c. L Vaughn, the well known travel
ing man OF this city. in order 70 refute
the statement sent a letter 10 Sherman
asking him IL ne ever used such an ex-
preston. To this letter Mr.. sherman
replied es follows:
Mansfield. o., Aug. -. 1895.
Mr.. G. L. Vaughn. Hutchinson. Kan.
Dear Sir;-Your note % the 18th Is
received. Il is hardly necessary for
me TO contradict the statement OF Hon
Jerry Simpson. which you quote. 7

son oug'ht 10 exclude him from all ssso-
citation with decent people. Very truly
