New York, Sept. "A dispatch to the
World from Key West, Fla, says: A
letter was received from Havana last
night BY the steamer "Mascot" con-
tanning information that Spanish author
tiles are threatening the obstruction of
Key West. Similar reports reached
here several days. ago, bat at that time
they were not believed. The letter
was written in Havana to a friend in
this city. The writer says a few days
ago he went to the Government office
and YVES informed by friend employed
there that the Spanish authorities had
determined to burn Key West and an
initiate that "nest of insurgent snakes"
The plan of the Spanish is to send
emissaries to Key West in the guise of
Cuban sympathizers, who are to fire the
city in as many places as possible when
opportunity arrives. It is said that
Capt Gen. Weyler is cognizant of the
plan and approves of it. HIT is reported
to have said that if Key West and Tam
pa were laid in ashes he would soon be
able to settle the rebellion. 1t is said
that in the event of the success of the
plot Weyler has agreed that the ennis
saries shall be paid $4,000.
The people here are SO wrought up
that it is feared an attack may be made
on Senior Gross, the Spanish Consul
and his assistant, Senior Fernandez. 1t
was reported to-day that these gentle
men, becoming alarmed for their
safety, had gone aboard the United
States revenue cutter "IVinona" and de-
handed protection, and that they were
.old to remain on the vessel until the
died out.
The citizens have determined to form
| vigilance committee, and every per-
on who cannot give good account of
himself will be forced to leave the city.

ANNEXATION OF HAWAII.

Of Japanese Immigration

| The Sentiment Growing on Account
of Japanese Immigration.
Seattle, Wash, Sept. Al. M. Whit
nev, ostmaster-general of the Ha-
waiian islands who has just arrived
from Honolulu, reports strong revival
of the annexation feeling on the islands
and says it is greatly intensified through
the belief that should Hawaii be an
nexed to the United States, the threat
ened Japanese trouble would be entirely
wiped out by the abrogation of all
existing treaties.
BY what is known as the Gibson
treaty, entered in o with Japan about
thirteen years ago, Japanese may pour
into the islands in unlimited numbers.
Fhey now number $4,000 and are COM
ing, Whitney stated at the alarming
rate OF 5000 year. He thinks it is a
question of only a few years until the
japanese will outnnmber the natives
and naturalized population, and in that
case will cause serious trouble. They
are already demanding the right of
franchise, which by treaty is conferred
upon them as soon as they can read and
write the English language.

SMALL VOTE IN FLORIDA.

democrats Say They Will Win in No
vember, but Others Dispute Them.
A general election for State and county
officials was held throughout Florida
Tuesday. There were three tickets in
the field for State officers, Democratic,
Republican and Popuist, and also for
county officers in nearly all the counties.
The gold Democrats supported the Demo
cratic ticket, and there is no doubt of its
success by good majority. Several i'm
portant amendments to the State Consti-
tuition were voted on. the most important
being one to abolish October elections.
Democratic managers have claimed that
they would elect their State ticket by
majority of 10000 or more, while Repub-
lican leaders have asserted the Democrat
is majority would not exceed 1900, and
might fall below 1900. The meager
returns based on estimates received mt
the time this is written indicate that the
Democratic ticket will not receive the
majority hoped for by ith sponsors. The
vote seems to have been a light one and
the Democrats are the principal losers by
the falling off. In the storm-stricken
counties, which have heretofore given
large Democratic majorities, practically
no interest was taken in the election. the
people having no heart for politics with
wrecked homes about them. There is Il
difference of opinion as to the bearing on
the November result. Regular Demo
Gratis claim the State j. safe for Bryan,

MURDER BY BANK ROBBERS.
Minnesota Bandits Kill Two Men
and Make Their Escape.

Minnesota Bandits Kill Two Men
and Make Their Escape.
The deliberate murder of two men was
committed at Sherburne, Mimi, We'd
nesday by highwaymen who robbed the
Bank of Sherburne of $1,000. The af-
fair was q terrible reminder of the great
bank robbery at Mortified in 1876, in
which the James and Younger boys were
participants. About noon two strangers,
one of whom looked like mere boy, rode
along the main street OF bicycles. They
were both well dressed but were un-
shaven and travel-staineJ. No particular
attention was paid TO them, as Sherburne
is town of but 800 persons, most of them
workingmen, and at that hour they were
hurrying home to dinner.
The strangers loitered around the out
skirts until nearly 1 o'clock. At that
time they sauntered lazlly down the street
and stopped Immediately in front of the
bank Of Sherburne. After moments
talk they went into the bank, and the
elder of the men engaged Assistant Cash
ier George Thorburn in conversation. One
of the desperadoes secured possession of a
roll IF bills containing about $1,000.
Thorburn tried TO prevent the men from
beltllS AWAY WITH the money, WHICH tuey
whipped out their revolvers and began
firing and at the same time retreating.
One of the bullets struck Thorburn, caus-
ing almost instant death. The shooting
within the bank aroused the town, and
the citizens began running in that drec-
ton. The first man to reach the place
was Olaf Oestern, n travelling salesman
for the Wood Harvester Company of st.
Paul. The desperadoes, fearing they
would be captured, quickly turned their
weapons upon Oestern. He made a dash
to grapple with them, but was not quick
enough, as he was struck in the head and
fell dead at their feet.
They ran down the street firing at ran
dom, while persons in the street hurried
to places of shelter. They ran about three
blocks to some bushes where they had
left their wheels. These they mounted
and rode rapidly away toward the Iowa
line, six miles to the south. Mayor G. Il.
Everett and the town marshal at once
did all in their power to capture the ban
dts. Sheriff Hill, of Marion County,
organized large posse of determined
Sherburne men, which moved southwark
OH horseback late in the afternoon. 1t is
declared that if the men are captured they
will be strung up to a limb of the first
tree big enough to bear Them. The men
got away with the roll of money, about
$1,000, which they snatched from the
counter of the bank. Gov. Clough issued
n proclamation offering reward of $500
for the capture of the ROBBERS.

Hannah's Life in Peril.

Asa G. Cutter, former trusted en-
ploye of the Hannah & Lay Company,
was arrested at Traverse City late Fri
day night as he alighted from a train.
He is charged with making threats
against the life of Perry Hannah, senior
member of the company, and Traverse
City's millionaire merchant and founder
of the city. Gutter was taken before
Judge Brown and pleaded not guilty.
The trouble between Cutter and Hannah
dates back several years. The warrant
was sworn out for Gutter last July and
the local officers have been on the watch
for him ever since. A few days ago he
wrote Mr.. Hannah that he was coming
and expected some sort of arrangement
to be made that would satisfy him. Mr..
Hannah is one of the principal owners of
the Chamber of Commerce Building and
other large property interests in Chicago
and owns large building and property in
terests in Northern Michigan. He is the
wealthiest man in Northern Michigan.
He believes it is matchmaking scheme,
but does not doubt that Cutter will exc
cute his threats if allowed to stay at
large and does not secure the money he
demands. Cutter was one time counted
as one of the substantial citizens of the
city and was respected and well thought
