then she declared that he must write to
her at once.
She was in fact beginning to tell her

She wanted TO admit It TO Arnold, but

FITzHUeH LEE GOES TO CUBA.
HE WILL SUCCEED CONSUL GEN.
ERAL WILLIAMS.

The Appointment a Surprise to Con-
gress and the Virginia Delegation.
President Cleveland Did Not Con-
suit the Virginia Senator's Before
Making It-Gen. Lee His Personal
Friend.
Washington, April 15.-The President to-
day sent to the Senate the following NOM
nations:
Fitzhugh Lee Of Virginia. to be consul
general of the United States at Havana,
Cuba. vice Ramon 0. Williams. resigned.
William H. Fowle Of Virginia. to be
collector of internal revenue for the Sixth
district of Virginia.
The nomination of Gen. Lee to be consul
general Of the United States at Havana
came as a surprise to the Senate. AL
though 1t has been suspected for some
time that Ramon o. Williams would soon
cease his official relations with the gov
ernment, this was the first intmation
that his resignation had been accepted.
Gen. Lees selection was not the result
of any conference with the senators from
Virginia Senator Daniel is not in the
city, he being to-day at the Monticello
celebration. His colleague, Mr.. Martin,
knew nothing OF the appointment until
it came to the Senate. The selection is
one of the Presidents own choice, Gen.
Lee being one of his personal friends.
There appears to be no political sponsor
Tor. MIN ana there is no one VINO seems 10
know the bent of the presidential mind
on this question. 1t is agreed on all
sides that Gen. Lee will go to Havana,
in thorough accord with the Presidents
views on matters pertaining to the is
land and having the instinct of military
officer thoroughly implanted by years of
service will be capable of dealing with
the subject of the rebellion there as the
President desires it should be dealt with.
Gen. Lee does not speak Spanish, but
aside from this is said to be well fitted
for the place, a man of strong determi-
nation, not easily turned aside from his
purpose.
The appointment of Gen. Lee to this
post caused a vacancy in the Lynchburg,
Va, collectorship of internal revenue, to
which place he was appointed upon the
death of the late incumbent, Mr.. Shep-
herd. This vacancy has been promptly
filled by the nomination at the same time
of William II. Fowle, who is now the
chief clerk of the office under Gen. Lee
Mr.. Fowle is the first cousin of the wife
Of Gen. Lee, and his appointment is
said to cause some surprise among the
politicians of Virginia, the leaders of the
party in that state apparently feeling that
the office was of such Importance that
they should at least have been consulted
before the choice was made. 1t is plain
to be seen that while the promotion of
Gen. Lee is satisfactory to the Virginia
delegation in congress, the like promo
ton of Mr.. Fowle is far from being pleas
ant 1t is intimated that the latter NOM
ination may provoke a fight in the Senate
when the case comes up for confrmation.

a rNEUMATrc GUN BURSTS.
Gen. Miles and Others Escape Death
by "A Narrow Margin.

Glen Cove. L. l.. April 1S-During a test
Of the new Ludley powder pneumatic gun
to-day the piece exploded, and Gen. Mel
son A. Miles and members Of the board
of ordnance had narrow escape from
death, or at least, severe injury. 4 spec
tator named Joseph Rome was hit by a
piece of metal and barely escaped with
his life.
The first test had resulted satisfactorily
and for the second experiment, target
composed Of a large red. white and blue
nag was put up against sand bank
about 2,1O0 yards distant from the gun.
Two Of the dummy missiles had been
fired, when, on the third attempt to dis
charge the gun. IL exploded. scattering
broken fragments OF the gun metal In
every direction. The officers who were in
vestigating the merits OF the gun We're
standing in a semi-circle behind the piece
when IL exploded, and II Is marvellous
that none of them were injured.
Mr. Rome was hit on the side of the
neck by flying piece of metal and an
ugly wound resulted.
The explosion put an end to the tests,
but another exhibition of the merits Of
the new gun will be given as soon as the
piece can be repaired. The accident is sup
posed to have been due to the shattering
of the wooden butt of the dummy projec-
tile and consequent choking Of the gun
The compressed air had to escape, and the
gun burst along the lines of the least re-
siStance.

MINE HORRORS OF MONTANA.
Seven Men Cruelty Left to Their
Fate in the Hope Fire.

Butte, Mont, April 1S.-The last body
of the six miners killed by the powder
explosion in the st. Lawrence mine on
Saturday morning was recovered at an
early hour this afternoon, and the coro-
ner's inquest will begin this evening.
The position of the bodies found indi-
Gates that the men discovered that an
explosion was about to occur in the mag
azine for some reason and started to
run away, but they could not reach a
safe distance before the explosion oc-
CURED.
The coroner's inquest on the Hope min
ing disaster at Basin began this morn
ing, and some most startling evidence
was brought out, showing that the sev-
en- men who were suffocated in the burn
ing mine were most cruelty left to their
fate when the fire was discovered. They
twice rang for the cage to come to the
surface, but Engineer Webber paid no
attention to the signals for reasons he
refused to explain at the inquest. When
he discovered the fire himself IL was
too late to assist the men. The evidence
also showed that Superintendent Fletch-
er Of the mine was not an experienced
miner, but he said he thought the men
under him were experienced. The meth
cd of working the Hope mine was twenty
years behind the times, and there were
no means whatever for the men to get
out of the big death trap without as
sistance from the outside.

IRISH LAND BILL.
Gerald BaIfOur Introduces II In the
House Of Commons.

London, April BIN the House of Com
mons tonight Gerald Balfour chief Sec
retary for Ireland, introduced the Irish
land bill. In doing so he referred to its
complex and intricate character, and said
II was more like a collection of small
bills than comprehensive measure
formed TO carry out a basic proposal
Mr.. Balfour reviewed the effects of the
successive land acts as tending to extend
He held that the Ashhourne act OF 1885
better assisted to the purchase of land
would carry out the best parts of the
Ashbourne act, would adopt several OF
the features Of Mr.. Morley's bill OF 1859,
and adopt a series Of provisions amending
the procedure of previous acts, and facili-
tate a working purchase system.
Regarding arrears the bill proposed that
a tenant who was able could IN all cases
redeem his holding by the payment OF
two years arrears, leaving the landlord
to recover arrears beyond this period by
ordinary procedure. The bill did not abol-
ish the landlords right of preemption.
Regarding compensation for improve
ments the bill provided that after an al
lowance had been made to tenant for
improvement the court could award a
further compensation If II decided that the
tenant had not received equitable COM
pensation.
The scheme for fixing the judicial rents
proposed a term Of thirty years duration,
but this would be variable every Ave years
on the application OF either landlord or
tenant. In regard to the purchase OF land
Mr.. Balfour said that whereas the pres
ent time for the repayment of the sum
advanced for purchases extended over
forty-nine years in continuous payments
at 4 per cent. interest, the present bill
proposed to extend the period to seventy
years. In conclusion Mr.. Balfour said
that the bill might not be all that the
nationalists wanted, but he held that II
would be fair and beneficial to both land
lord and tenant
John Morley. chief secretary for Ire
land in the last liberal government said
he was pleased with parts of the bill.
chiefly those that had been adopted from
the liberal bill. He was disappointed with
the other clauses, part of which were
quite unavoidable
John Dillon, leader of the anti-Parnel-
lites, said that Mr.. Balfour's speech prov
ed that this parliament was incapable
of dealing with the question. The Irisn
would be greatly disappointed by the bin.
The bill then passed its first reading.
The second reading was fixed for April al

SHUT OUT OF THE MAILS.
The ex-SIave Owners Registration
bureau Declared a Fraud.


Washington, April 13.-Postmaster Gen
eral Wilson to-day declared that the Uni
ted States ex-slave owners registration
bureau of Washington, d. c., was in vio-
lation of the postal regulations, and was
not entitled to the privileges of the mails.
This bureau was but recently incorpo-
rated under the laws of the district, and
the department made an investigation Of
its method of business. 1t was ascer-
tanned that three of the incorporators
Of the bureau gave Washington as their
residence, but none resided in the dis
trict at the time of the incorporation.
They have just established Offices here,
but began doing business at a sub-ofiice
in Savannah Ga, several weeks ago, by
sending out literature.
The plan of the bureau was to secure
a record of all persons holding slaves on
Jan, !, 1868. Instructions and blanks were
sent out to ex-slave holders or their heirs
for them to state the number of slaves
owned, and their sex. These blanks were
to be filled out by ex-slave holders and
returned TO the bureau with fee of from
81 TO S5 the bureau promising to have
bills introduced in congress looking to re-
payment for the slaves.

is that the scheme is fraud pure and

GOOD WORDS FROM GARCIA.
He Explains His Failure to Be on
Hand to Stand Trial.

New York, April 13.-T. Estrada Palma,
Cuban delegate, has received the follow
ing communication from Gen. Garcia:
To the people of the United States of
America: I am fully aware of the obli-
cation which I have contracted to stand
trial for my alleged violation of the laws
of your country. have not remained to
face the consequences of my acts, simply
because 1 feel that I have a higher duty
to perform as a soldier and a Cuban.
Having fought for the independence of
my country for ten years, and having
ever since promulgated the idea for which
we then fought, deem it my highest
and holy duty to fight and bleed and if
necessary die, to attain the independence
of my country.
Should 1 fall my death will expiate, 1
hope, in your eyes, any possible offense
for which l might have to stand trial
there; should l survive 1 give you my
word as a man and q soldier TO return
to your country and cheerfully abide by
the consequences which the laws of the
country may visit upon me. My con-
science tells me that in this proceeding
i will satisfy the laws of justice, and /

SHAMEFUL WORK IN SPAIN.
The Government JuggIes the Bal
lots to Down It's Opponents.

Madrid. April 13.-Additional returns
from yesterdays elections for members
of the cortes show that among those elect
ed are Seniors Emelio CASTELAR, and Ply
Margall.
The manipulation of the polling and
counting of votes in Madrid has resulted
In the election of five conservatives and
three liberals.
The Marquis of Cabrinana, who revealed
the recent municipal scandals, was badly
defeated on the face of the returns. The
dishonest methods employed by the au-
thorities in handling the polling against
the marquis are apparent in the fact that
a. great many more ballots are returned
than there were electors. The populace
are indgnat at the employmnt of such
tactics, and the authorities have taken pre-
cautions against an outbreak.
1t is conceded on all sides the new par
lament will be short lived.
Ex-Prime Minister Sagasta contends
that the elections in Madrid must be nulli-
fed. All the papers and all the politicians
except the ministeralists concur in this
opinion.
The excitement and Indignation caused
by the action of the government in virtu-
ally stealing the election continues to in
crease, and there are grave apprehensions
that unless other elections are ordered to
be held there will be serious trouble.
