FITCH IN THE FIGHT.
Chief Crowley's Old Opponent Looking
for the Superintendency of
SCHOOL Buildings.

Chief Crowley's Old Opponent Lookin 6
for the Superintendency of
School Buildings.
The Board of Education-elect is caucus
ing now and apportioning out the patron
az to the lucky ones who are able to gel
chairmanships.
The main purpose of the next meeting
is supposed to be the appointment OF a
superintendent of the Building OF Schools,
one Of the most important positions in
the department, in view of the fact that
the board must rely upon that officials
report in all matters pertaining to bui Id
Ing and remodeling.
SUPERINTENDENT Kincaid, who is the in
cumbeDt, runs strong first in the figh t..
There are numerous other candidates
O'Brien, Casey, Mcnamara and Con-
nelly-who have never figured before the
public in search of the appointment, so it
is to be presumed that Kincald will have
walkover against them.
1t is not SO, however, with Ben Fitch, q
first-class mechanic of the old school,
whose claim for precedence is getting a
strong backing.
Fitch is part of the history of this State
and Nevada. He was the foreman in the
building of the Montgomery block, one of
the lew remaining landmarks OF pioneer
Gays. de built the courthouse, Jail and
State University at Elko, New, where he
was Sheriff in 1852 and in 1SS0-S4
But the most interesting part of Ben
Fitch's career is when, in the 70's. he was
a candidate against Patrick Crowley, the
incumbent, for the position of Chief of
Police of this City and County.
w. Z. Ralston, the jim Fisk of Califor-
MIA, was then in mis- glory, and he favored
Crowley. and that settled Ben Fitch's
chances. He was defeated ami went back
to Eiko. He has been a resident of this
State for more than five years, and he
hopes to be seen at work again building
the public schools.

Is HOLMES GUILTY?
Strange story Told By One Robert
COrbett.

COfDeIIs
CHICAGO. Jan. ga local paper
saws:
If the story told by Robert Corbett,
a private detective who has been in
this city 70" a few weeks, working on
the Holmes case, is true, H. H. Holmes
is not guilty of committing a single
murder in Chicago.
The Pitzel murder case is now pend
ing in the supreme court of Pennsyl-
Vania and will come for a hearing
within few days and the defense is
making determined effort to secure
the technical grounds. If these fail
then the information gathered by the
defense will be resorted to and it is
believed that they will be able to prove
/ beyond a doubt that his alleged victim,
Benjamin Pitzel. is alive and living
within radius of 100 miles of the city
of Chicago at the present time
"Corbett, who has been running
down the various stories charging
Holmes with murder in Chicago, claims
to have evidence showing that H. H.
Holmes did not commit a single murder
in the city of Chicago. and that
Holmes confession regarding the death
of Minnie Williams IS substantially
correct; that the girl was, beyond
doubt, killed on July 6 at the fiat oc-
cupied by Holmes and Minnie Viii
liamS at 1920 Wrightwood avenue The
body was then taken to the castle and
burned. The skull found by the police
at the castle was that of Minnie Will
liams, as the mark and fractures show.
Corbett also makes the following
statement:
Tibet Mamie Williams IS alive and
has been seen on the streets of this
city within the past two weeks; that
Emiline Cigrand is alive and is now
living in Iowa: that Julia Connors and
her daughter Pearl are alive and at
present living in Michigan; and that
Holmes will be able to prove a COM
plete alibi in regard to the murder of
Howard PitZel at indianapolis is GER
tain. Holmes is a peculiar man and
his relations with various young wo-
men was the cause of his present pre-
dicament.

SPANISH SOLDIERS.
1t is Alleged That They Are Brave
and FearIess-The New COmman-
der.

HAVANA Jan. 22.-General Luis Pi-
ando, who arrived here yesterday, said
in an interview today that he had
come to Havana in obedience to the
orders of his superiors to act as CO.
adjutor to General Marin, in the TEN
porary command of Cuba, pending the
arrival here of General Weyler, the
new captain-generaI of Cuba, when
General Andello will be succeeded by
General Suarez Valdez.
General Piando announced himself in
favor Of concentrating and strength
ening his forces in the province of
Pinar del Rio. He is we'll acquainted
with that province and with the Pc
culiar political sympathies and condi-
tions. and anticipated being able to
call all the loyal population to arms
in support of the Spanish governm mt.
General PiandO spoke in the highest
terms of the bravery and courage of
the Spanish troops in his command.
He says that the raw young soldiers
endured hunger and thirst, sickness
and fatigue without complaint and
that no troops in the world could have
behaved better or accomplished more
Under the circumstances. In this state
ment it may be added that General
Piando is sustained by reports of other
generals and by the remarks of disin-
terested persons who have been eve
witnesses to the operations of the
insurgents. The whole trouble seems
to be summed up in the fact that the
Spanish infantry. although well han
died and brave. has been unable to
cope successfully with the equally
well handled and brave mounted in
surgents; but General Piando claims
that in spite of this if the insurgents
can be driven to fight a pitched battle
the Spaniards will defeat them in short
order even though the enemy may be
in larger numbers.
Concerning the advance of the in
surgent army under Jose Maceo and
Rabi Piando says that this force was
trying to convey westward a consider
able quantity of arms. ammunition
and other supplies, intended for the
insurgents in this province. and Pinan
del Rio. But the general added MaceO
and Rabi have been engaged seven
times with the Spaniards since they
entered the province of Santa Clara
and a considerable portion of the war
material has been either captured or
lost en- route. The Spanish troops are
being massed across the line of march
which the second army of the insur-
gents is expected to follow. and Gen
eral Piando anticipates that they will
be able to prevent junction with the
insurgents under General Gomez. Jose
Maceo, who was severely wounded
some time ago. is said to have almost
recovered his health and to be able to
ride his horse daily on the march.
General Piando refused to discuss the
plans likely to be adopted by the
Spanish commanders in the future for
the suppression of the Instruction
but there was no doubling from his
manner that he is confident of the
success of the Spanish army when
operations are resumed against the in
surgents under the direction of Cen
eral Wey1er.

Send u Message.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The SUPPOSE
ton that has gained some ground in con-
gress that because the secretary of state
has not yet forwarded to congress a reply
to the cali for informal ton and all docu-
ments throwing light upon the Cuban war,
that President Cleveland has prepared a
message and might announce the recog-
milton of the belligerents does not seem
to be we'll founded. A member of the
foreign affairs committee who talked with
Secretary Olney this week, says that the
documents will be forwarded within a
few days and that they will not be ac-
companied by a message. 1t is possible,
he said, that Secretary Olney viii hand a
part Of the documents, if not ali of them,
to the chairman of the committee, in
stead of following the usual course of
sending them to the speaker to be laid
before the house. Much Of the CORE
spondence in possession of the department
is in the form of reports and letters
from United States consuls i'll Cuba. Nee
essarily their contents are confidential in
their nature, and the publication might
subject the consuls to personal violence
and at least would win for them the
enmity of the party to the war and de-
stroy their usefulness as officers.

IN SERIOUS DANGER.
JOHN HAYS HAMMOND IN THE
TRANSVAAL.
May Be Made to Suffer For the Sins
of Others, For Which He is Said
to Be in No Way Responsible.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22.-John
Hays Hammond, the American mining
engineer. is evidently in serious dan
ger in the Transvaal Urgent cable
grams were received here tonight by
Harry Creswell, city and county at
torney; M. F. Tarpey, a prominent
Democratic politician, and a third came
to Colonel H. I. Thornton, but as the
latter is dead, it was opened by his
nephew, Mr.. Creswell. The cable
grams are dated Newcastle, Natal,
January %. AS Newcastle is long
distance from the Transvaal, it is
thought they were Struggled through,
and therefore better represent the sit
uation than any previously received
here. The messages are all signed by
/ ]. Curtis. who is a son of George
Tichnor Curtis, a grandson of Joseph
Storey, once justice of the supreme
court of the United States, and
nephew olf w W. Storey, the sculptor.
The message addressed to Creswell is
as follows;
Exert your influence to help Ham
mond. He is confined with sixty of us
in the Pretoria Jail. He has been taken
as one of the ring-leaders, and unless
some radical measures are taken by
our government he will be made to
suffer for the sins of others, for which
he is in no way responsible"
The message addressed to Colonel
Thornton says:
Il earnestly beg you to use your in
fuence to protect Hammond from the
consequences of mistake which has
been made by others in this unfortun-
ate business. He is not guilty and has
been wrongfully confined in Jail for the
past ten days and the Transvaal gov
eminent refuses to admit him to bail"
Judge John CARRIER a prominent at
torney, also received a message of sim
liar import.
Mr.. Creswell, who has known Ham
mond and Curtis for twenty years,
wired Senator Stewart at Washington
tonight impressing upon him the seri-
BUSINESS of the situation and urging
him to do all in his power to help the
imprisoned Americans.

prince. But subsequent events showed
that all this ridicule was undeserved,
as the prince embarked like any other
officer on board an ordinary trOopship
and was not treated with any more
consideration than would be accorded
to an ordinary officer.
He ranked as colonel of an Isle of
Wight volunteer regiment and was at
tached to the expedition in a special
capacitv.
The court circular says Of Prince
Henry's death:
"The queen is most deeply affected
at seeing her beloved daughters happy
life crushed and in losing most
amiable and affectionate son-in-law to
whom she was much devoted"
The Chronicle says:
Emperor William has telegraphed
his kindest condolences upon the death
of Prince Henry to the queen and to
Princess Beatrice"
