Number OF Letters Written by the Accused
to His Victim Introduced.

NEWPORT, KY. April 29-Attorney
Hays OF Greencastle, Ind, was called to
the stand Tuesday as "a witness IN the
Bryan murder case and offered nnmber
OF letters written by Jackson to Poarl
Bryan. The first one was dated March
10, 1885. another June l3, 1895, another
July 10 and the fourth July 30 and AN
other Oct 81 The letters were couched
In friendly language, one of them being
very tender letter of condolenee upon
the loss of her sister. Another letter writ
ten Jan. 81, 1896, to DIR. Gillespie, dated
Palace hotel. Cincinnati, was read IL
asked about how business was getting
along and inquired about the DOCTOR 5
janitor, which meant VIII Wood and
asked the doctor to stick to him without
fail and not To forget his old collogs
chum.
Edward Anthony, a newspaper report
er testified that the coat found In the
catch basin and identified as jackson
WAS wrapped in an Enquirer dated Jan D..
This Is In contradiction of the testimony
given by Detective Witt who said that
the paper was dated Feb. .. Anthony
also testified to his interviews with Jack
son after he was arrested, but nothing In
them amounted TO admission of quit.
| Detective Witt was recalled and said
| that by consulting memorandum ht
| found Jackson's coat was found not OF

Baltimore from Cardinal Rampolla In
Rome In response to Protestant appeals
to the holy see TO improve conditions of
religious liberty in South American coun-
tries. The letter, which was dated Nov.
80, 1885, is substantially as follows;
'In consequences of previous interviews
held with your eminonce l wrote To the
apostolic delegate for the republics OF
Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador to obtain pre-
else information as to the legal status OF
Protestants there. The representatives ot
the holy see promptly complied with my
request, and now | am In position 10
say that the Protestants III Peru far from
being restricted in the free exercise of
worship rather are accorded IA larger de-
gree Of toleration than is compatible with
the strict construction of the political con
stitutions of thosa countries This Is evil
denced by the fact that in Peru, especial
ly in the cities OF Lima and Callao, there
| are several Anglican and Methodist chap
| els, where weekly conferences are held.
"As TO the solemnization OF marriages
| the delegate informs me that while th'
constitution Of Peru recognizes valid M

council of Trent. Protestants do, as
matter of fact wed with religious cere
mony In the presence of their ministers
and civilly before the consuls and ambas

sadness at its failure to obtain positive

ST JOSEPH, Mich, April 29.-Forty
women leading members Of local clubs
and church societies, have made a captive
OF Mayor John V. Sterr. They caught
him on the street, and, dragging him into
private residence, demanded that he CO.
operate with them In movement OF re-
form The women cried that the laws
were not enforced; that the sale OF cigar
cites was carried on with impunity; that
Young girls were being enticed away, ana
that the saloon regulations were loose,
and boys of all ages were given liquor on
asking.
For two hours the mayor was kept
prisoner, and not until he promised to
submit the matter To the executive de-
partment of the city was he permitted To
escape. The women demadded the adop'
tion of u curfew bell, upon the ringing
of which children Of certain ages must
retire from the street. The city Is consid-
erably torn up over the determined stand
taken by the women, and the effect oil

HAVANA, April 20 = Copyrighted, 1896

believed to be due to dynamite or some
other high explosive, occurred in the pal
ace of the governor general at l1:3o Tues
day morning while the correspondents of
the Associate Press and other representa-
tives Of newspapers were waiting in the
ante-room for the first batch Of news OF

and the building was soon partly filled
with dust, while the noise of breaking
glass and falling plaster could be heard
on all sides. Part of the roof OF the pal.
ace fell In.
The explosion occurred I'm closet situ-
ated i'm "A low story or basement under the
city hall, which part of the building it
converted into heap OF rubbish. The
walls were torn great stones fell, ana

office was wounded. 1t was at first b.
lieved that the steam boiler had exploded; /;
but when 1t was found to be intact IL was
suspected that the destruction was caused
by dynamite O. The real cause of the dis
aster, however, is not known. The great
est excitement prevails here as result of
the explosion which, naturally, Is attrib
uted to the insurgents or their friends.

SURPRISE ar WASHINGTON.
California senators Will Ask Clemency fol
John Hays Hammond.

WASHINGTON, April 29.-Senators Per-
kins and White were very much sur
prised when shown the Associated Press
cable announcing that Mr.. John Hays
Hammond had been sentenced to death.
1t was their impression that when the
plea Of guilty was made that an under
standing had been reached which would
not mean the death penalty Senator
Perkins expressed the belief that the law
required such sentence but that the
government will commute IL. The Cali
fornia senators probably will ask
through the state department. that
clemency be shown Hammond, although
Senator White says that in the face OF a
plea of guilty of high treason, he Is not
sure that this government could make
very strong representation. The belief Is
expressed here that Hammond, before re-
turning to Pretoria, had some under
standing on the subject of the sentence to
be pronounced and the proceedings that
would follow the sentence. IL is believed
he will not be put to death
