South Bend, Ind. February 1O.-Dr
L. A. Hines. for short time surgeon
in the Cuban army. has just returned
home and gives an insight into the
real condition of affairs.
He joined Nlaceo's army early in
January and was captured While in
charge of the field hospital in san FIJI
ipe. He says the only way the insur-
gents can hope to win is by prolong-
ing the struggle until Spain becomes
exhausted and sells the island or giyes
it away. The Spanish army is COM
posed almost exclusively OF bows nm
used to hardships. They are ragged
oyerworked and suffering intensely
from the terrible trOpic heat and vello,1'
fever. The prevailing notion that ~
Cuban armies are full OF Americana
he says, is a mistake. Or. Hines dd
not see or hear OF another American
while he was with the insurgents a,
the climate is such that no American
could campaign with the insurgents
and live. The Spanish hospital ar
Havana now has nearly 100 yellow fever
victims, and the season is only begun
None ever get well Shortly after a
victim gets it, he begins to curl up like
a withered leaf. and as soon as his
head and feet touch he dies The nogro
leader, Maceo, is described as q man Of
wonderful will power and his army is
composed Of negroes who idolize him.
He was in Spain when the war broke
out, and chartered a little vessel 10
take him to Cuba. The Spanish gov
eminent offered $4,000 in gold for the
delivery of Maceo into the hands OF one
of the men-of-war of the coast of Ven
eZuela. The captain of the vessel ac-
cepted but the astute and fierce negro
caught on, and when off the coast OF
Cuba he killed the captain and mate
and ran the vessel ashore himself.

What promises TO be one of the hard
est fought and most sensational murder
trials In the criminal history OF Wash
ingtOn county will come up at this
months term of court. Frank Ben
nett. alias Charles f. LOwman, alias
THE Kid viii be tried Tor the muir
der of Samuel w. Dorsey, a barber,
who was murderer under mysterious
circumstances at this place on October
% 1898 The case attracted more
than local attention at the time. owing
to the fact that Dorsey was probably
the wealthiest COlOred man in Western
Pennsylvania. and although the crime
was committed two years ago interest
i'm the case has never diminished. The
bOldness of the murder also made ii
sensational as Dorsey was shot ana
robbed on one Of the most thickly pop
ulated streets of Washington. under
the broad glare of an electric light.
But five minutes before the murder was
committed policeman passed over the
spot where the tragedy occurred, and
woman across the street saw the two
men in the act of rObbing the body.
The murder occurred at night, and al
though the guilty parties were almost
surrounded at the time, the darkness
enabled them to escape.
Bennett. who is charged with being
one Of the perpetrators, is but p years
Old and as the deed was done two
years ago. he must have been mur,
derer at 10. He is a native of Cleve-
land. o.. and lis the son OF a prominent

tocratic birth. Bennett confesses to nu-
+ merOUs bUrglarieS and theftS, but will
/ make no statement as 10 his cOnnec-
& tiOn with the murder Of Dorsey. The
theory of the detectives who arrested
Bennett is that he and a cOlored man
whose name has not vet been revealed
came to this place from Wheeling on a
Baltimore d Ohio freight train. and the
negro, knowing that Dorsey was accus-
toned TO carrying large sums OF
money on his person. suggested the rob
berry. Becoming frightened at his re-
sis-ance, they were compelled to Shoot
him 20 accomplish their end.

The First Good Roads Meeting Held-The
Attendance Not SO Large as Had BE. n
Hoped For.
Baltimore. Nd, February 10
League politics absorbed the League Of
Wheelmen to-day. AS a consequence
the experimental good roads meeting
was a very moderate success in point
of attendance.
President Willison. on calling the
meeting to order said: "As the high
ways improvement committee and not
the League proper is in charge of this
affair. I shall take great pleasure in re-
signing my chair to its efficient chair
man, Mr. Isaac B. Potter, of New York"
Mr.. Potter was greeted with lpplause,
and after it had subsided he addressed
the meeting briefly. Mr.. Potter then
introduced Mayor VIM. NJ Kennedy, of
Allegheny. Pa, one of the most prom
inent advocates of good roads in the
country, and during whose admin.stT2-
tion Allegheny City has changed from
an ill-paved, ill-kept city 10 one Of the
finest in the country.
Mayor Kennedy spoke of what had
been done in the way Of improved
streets and roads in and around Ale
eheny City and Of the many direct and
indirect benefits.
Following Mayor Kennedy, Henry w.
Williams. chairman OF the legislative
committee of the Maryland Good Roads
League. was introduced and said:
III told YOU of the work we had done
it would take but a short time. but if
tell YOU of what We have TO do, I am
afraid I would never get through
Mr.. Williams gave a history Of the
birth of the Good Roads League of

made chairman.

The days exercises closed with 4
banquet tonight at the home Of the
Maryland Bicycle Club. az which al
most 200 delegates and other guests

gin tomorrow, at which 10 is probable
that the seventy-fouT amendments to
the constitution which nave been pro-
posed will be TAX up. reports from the
various officials and boards will be con-

that the election of officers will take

London, February 10.-The Constan-

Turkeys plan to implicate the
American missionaries in Armenian
affairs is being steadily pursued. An
attempt has been made to arrest Mr.
Knapp, one of the hardest working
missionaries at Bitlis, on a charge of
sedition and murder based on an ac-
cusatiOn signed under coercion by
some Armenians who were in Jail Mr..
Knapp appealed to United States Min
lister Terrell, who learned from Consul
Hampson at Moush that the charge was
wholly unfounded and was a mere pre-
text to drive Mr.. Knapp from the coun-
try. Mr. Terrell insists that unless
the charge is abandoned, Mr.. Knapp
shall be brought here and tried before
him."
