WRONG-DOING.
REMARKABLE STORY FROM NEW
HAVEN, CONN.
Son of Professor Steals $4,000
Worth of Specimens of Taxtdermy
Still at Liberty.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Jan. "a re-
markable story of wrong doing, involv-
ing the theft of $4,000 worth of the
most rare specimens of taxidermy, ETC.,
in Peabody institute, at Yale, by a pro-
fessor's son, college graduate, be-
came public today.
Albert H. Verril, Yale '93, son of Prof
Verril has been charged with theft
but it is understood he will not be ar
rested. AT late hour tonight he was
still at liberty.
The theft of the specimens dates
back several years. Young Verril, who
is only "a years old, spent two years
in South America after his graduation
and came here a little over one year
ago. He was an expert on taxidermy,
and during his course at the university
thoroughly acquainted himself with
the movable specimens in Peabody in
stitute. The Yale authorities at first
discovered several months ago that
specimens were disappearing, but it
was not until ten days ago that it
was actually known who was response
BILE. Young Verril at first denied that
he had taken anything, but finally &C
knowledged that he had sold many
specimens to Englishmen and others.
He also said he had quantity worth
over $4,000 in his possession. These
were turned over to the university. Ac-
cording to his confession, the total
value of the articles taken was about

MAY BE A FAKE.
Curious Rumors Ahoat About the
Steamer.

Curious RumOrs AhOat About the
Steamer.
CHICAGO, Jan ga special from
Washington, D. c., says:
There is a curious rumor afoat here
to the effect that the true story has
not yet been told as to the alleged
wreck of the steamer Hawkins. which
had just set out to carry a load of men
and ammunition to Cuba.
Some people close to the revolution
lists say the whole thing is a plant
and the Spanish minister and the
United States have been cleverly fool
ed.
For some reason that cannot be def
rnitely traced there is a belief in the
Cuban colony that the arms supposed
to have been on the Hawkins were
either trans-shipped at sea or else were
sent out secretly on some other vessel
and suspicion Intentionally directed
against the Hawkins for the purpose
of throwing the Spanish spies and the
United States revenue authorities off
the track.
People here are wondering what the
steamer was doing on Long Island
sound if it was en- route to Cuba. Min
lister De LONE was apparently supplied
Will Tie IuIeSC Information IN con-
nection with the movements of the
steamer Hawkins, and acting on his
Instructions officers of the navy and
revenue marine were instructed to look
after the steamer and it's intended con-
sort all the way from Hampton Roads
to Tampa.
While the stories of the survivors
appear to read straight enough. the
general opinion is that there has been
something crooked about the whole
transaction.
1t is known here now that in a pre-
vious case the Cuban revolutionary
committee supplied the Spanish minis
ter with false information regarding
an alleged fflibustering expedition, and
then while he was busily engaged with
the assistance of the United States in
endeavoring to head it off, a genuine
expedition Slipped out without notice
and made a successful landing in
Cuba. The understanding seems to
be something of the kind was attempt
ed to be done in the case of the steam
er Hawkins but just what the
wreck had to do with it or whether it
was part of the programme, cannot be
definitely aScertained

NEW YORK, Jan. 29-Gloom per-
vaded the headquarters of the Cuban
revolutionary party today. The lead
ers, who would not admit last night
that any filibustering expedition had
met with disaster, freely admitted that
the reported wrecking of the steamer
Hawkins was correct.
Thomas E. Palma, the acknowledged
head of the Cuban revolutionary
party, said that about 100000 had
been expended in fitting out the steam
er ]. W. Hawkins, including arms and
ammunition.
One Cuban made the startling an
nouncement that it was evident there
had been treachery.
Said he: I'VE hired an expert to
examine the steamer j. w. Hawkins
before we purchased her. This ex-
pert reported the steamer sea-worthy.
Now either the expert did not do his
duty properly and the steamer was not
fit to go to sea, or else traitor on
board deliberately scuttled the ship.
The latter would seem to be the case.
Neither General Garcia, who was in
command of the expedition. nor his
son, the second in command, nor any
others at the head of the movement
had any idea whatever that the steam
er was leaking, until it was too late
to save her. a searching investigation
is being made and if there was any
plot to scuttle the ship, we will I'M
earth it,
Palma denied that there had been

York

BOISE, Ida. Jan. 29.-The first with
drawal of land under the Carey act
was made by the state today. The
withdrawal consists of $3.50 acres on
Snake river above American Falls. and
was made upon application of the
American Falls Canal and Power com
pany, which proposes to reclaim land
by means of canal taken out of Snake
river ten miles above Blackfoot. The
company proposes to furnish water
rights for $40 an acre, the payment to
extend over a period of nine years.
The land will cost the settler so cents
an acre. The state land department
has received information to the effect
that representatives of a Nebraska col
ony, numbering eight men, are now
looking over the land, and if it is sat
isfactory to the colony they will come
on in the spring. The colony consists
of 100 Nebraska families.

THAT the national boar6 of trade
urgently demands of congress the en-
actment of such legislation as will es-

cal trade relations between the United
States and Mexico, the Central and

A report was submitted by Mr. Fin
ley Acker of Philadelphia, chairman
of the committee on postal regulations.
Among the recommendations were to
change the rate of postage on first
class matter letter postage, to one
cent for each half ounce; to restrict
second class matter, at the present
rate of postage, to strictly bona fide
daily, tri-weekly, semi-weekly and
weekly newspapers and to charge to
every department of the government
now using the franking privilege, the
actual cost of the service. The report
was adopted.
L. M. Hapt of Philadelphia presented
the report of the waterways committee.
The report recommends favorably deep
draft connections between the lakes,
the Ohio and Mississippi rivers and
the Atlantic, in continuing the improve
ment of the great rivers of the central
basin consecutively and the construc-
ton of an interior coastwise canal
for domestic. commerce and national
defense. The report also urges on con-
gress the immediate granting of such
financial aid and support as will Sc
cure the control of the Nicaraguan
canal to the government, free from for
that on extending such aid it will &C
quire title thereto as will secure the
ultimate payment of the bonds guaran-
teed for the money advanced.
1t was also decided to hold the next
annual meeting of the board in this
city on the fourth Tuesday in Janu-
ary 1897.

AGAINST FOREIGNERS.

OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. 29.-In the
house Of commons today Mr. Taylor,
Conservative, introduced a bill pro-
hibiting the importation and immigra-
ton of foreigners and aliens under
contract or agreement to perform
labor in Canada.
Mr.. Casey, Liberal, pointed out that
for some months negotiations have
been in progress between Ottawa and
Washington with a view to securing
a modification of the United States
alien labor law, whereby Canadian
workingmen shall be allowed to enter
New York state in return for fishing
privileges in the st. Lawrence to be
extended by the dominion government.
Mr.. Casey said the passage or even
the introduction of the measure at
this time, would have a prejudicial
effect on the Washington authorities.

tension of Sympathy.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The senate
committee on foreign relations has agreed
to report a resolution on the Cuban
question. The resolution does not go so
far as to recommend recognition, but
is more emphatic than the extension of
sympathy. The following is the resolu-
ton in full:
Resolved. By the senate, the house
of representatives concurring, That the
present deplorable war in the island of
Cuba has reached a magnitude that con-
Germs all civilized nations to the extent
that it should be conducted, if unhap-
PLY it is longer to continue on those
principles and laws of warfare that are
ACKNOWLEDGED to be obligatory upon
civilized nations when engaged in open
hostilities, including the treatment of
captives who are enlisted in either army;
due respect to cartels for the exchange
of prisoners and for other military pur-
poses: truceS and flags of truce; the pro-
vision of proper hospitals and hospital
supplies an dservices to the sick and
wounded of either army. Be it further
Resolved, That this representation of
the views and opinion of congress be
sent to the president: and if he concurs
therein, that he will, in a friendly spirit.
use the good offices of his government to
the end that Spain shall be requested to
accord to the armies with which it is
engaged in war, the rights of belligerents
as the same are recognized under the
law of nations"

Is GOMEZ DEAD.
A Sensational Rumor Circulated al
Havana.


HAVANA, Jan. 29.-There is an insist
ent rumor here that Maxine Gomez has
died as result of his illness. The
friends of the insurgents place no cred
ence in the rumOr and there IS no con-
firmation of the report. 1t probably owes
its origin to the fact that the insurgents
tried to buy a coffin at San Antonio de
los Ramos, and the conclusion th9t II Was
intended for the burial of the leader OF
the Cuban insurgents has been jumped at.
An engagement of some importance has
undoubtedly taken place between Gomez
Spaniards at the plantation of Santa
Lucia The official report makes no
statement of the result of the fight be
yond asserting that the insurgents lost
twenty-One killed. Inc spanish lOSSSS
are not stated.
Colonel Vicuna has stationed his forces
in RabeZ, which commands Cne only
pass to the province of Havana ana the
westward. The insurgents are STRIVING
to effect a passage to join Gomez ana
Maceo, but have not succeeded IN doing
so. The German frigate Gnelzondu mas
arrived here.
osa has died from wounds received at
Rio Grande in December.
General Marin and Colonel lnclan, the
mayor, and the chief of staff, babe fare
well today to 500 volunteers who are de-
parting to take part in the campaign.
The insurgent leader Pancho Garlic
has arrived in Puerto Principe province
in pursuance to orders received from
General Gomez.
This morning the column commanded
by Colonel Vicuna encountered twenty
five insurgents upon the plantation OF
Europe, in Matanzas. They pursued these
who proved to be the vanguard of a
larger force, and met 800 insurgents at the
farm of Hato Manjuari. Firing was con-
tinued for half an hour when the in,
surgents retreated leaving three killed
| and eleven wounded, together with their
arms On the side of the troops Major
Perez Roy was seriously wounded.
