CALLED TO ACCOUNT.

Correspondence Concerning the Out
rage on DeIgado.
CHICAGO, April PA dispatch to
the Times-Herald from Washington
D. c., says:
Spain has been called to account for
the outrage committed on DR.. Jose
Manuel Delgado, an American citizen,
on March 4, on that gentlemans plan
tation in the province of Mainoa, Cuba
There has been considerable CORES
pondence between the United States
and Spain on the subject, and the facts
of the brutal character of the outrage
are so well authenticated that the
latter country has shown itself to be
not averse to making amends. 1t is
confidently believed by the state de-
partment authorities that as a result of
their protest Spain will tender another
apology to the United States and will
remove the officer in command of the
detachment of soldiers who directed
the occurrence which is now the cause
of complaint. This will be followed
by the submission of a claim for
money indemnity which is now being
prepared by Mrs Ellen, Spencer Mus
sey, DR.. Delgados attorney in this
city.
The state department has made a
thorough investigation of DR.. Delga-
dos case and has found that it is one
requiring prompt attention at the
hands of the United States govern
ment. Consul General Williams has
submitted a great deal of information
to the department, including a sworn
statement from both Dr. Delgado and
his father, Joaquin Delgado, as to their
citizenship. with descriptions as to the
occurrence of March 4. In addition
other testimony has been secured, all
showing that the Spanish soldiers had
no cause for their action. Perhaps the
most important evidence is that which
shows that Captain-G General Weyler,
when he received protest from Con-
Williams, promptly stopped
the proceedings which were in pro
gress on the Dolores plantation and
had DR.. Delgado, who had been cut
and shot, removed to a safe place,
where he was given the best medical
attention

He also admitted that he had intro
duced Jackson to his second cousin,
Pearl Byran, and that, since Jackson S
departure last October from Green
castle, to Cincinnati, he had kept up a
correspondence with him, and that let
tiers from Jackson to him personally
were destroyed by him according to
Jackson's request. The part of the
story already told about the share he
took in bringing Pearl Bryan to Gin
cinna,ti, to have a criminal operation
performed, he corrobOrated.
The most thrilling part of his story was
that in which he said Jackson. while visit
ing Greencastle during the Christmas holt
days vacation, went with him TO Pearl
Bryans house, got a prescription from her
that Jackson had sent from Cincinnati
and destroyed it, telling Wood it would be
dangerous to him if he should get into
trouble On January "a, 1896, the witness
said he received a letter from jackson
from Cincinnati requesting Pearl Bryan to
come to Cincinnati. He showed the letter
to Pearl Bryan that day. She read it and
asked witness: What would you do if
you were me?'
Witness answered.: Decide for your
self" The next day, which was Saturday,
January %, she told Wood she was going
to Cincinnati on Monday, January q. He
saw her off on Monday, assisting her on
the train, and that was the last he saw of
her. On the croSS-eXamination the QueS-
tons indicated that the defense had testi-
mony from GreencaStle. in the form of
dispositions, that Wood had boosted to
them of his improper intimacy with Pearl
Bryan. This questioning was to lay the
foundation for the dispositions of these
persons in the defense.
Wood positively denied every statement
of the dispositions

CURZON CRITICISED.
Held Up by the Correspondent of the
London Times

LONDON Times.
LONDON, April 25.-The New York
correspondent of the Times criticises
the statement made in parliament by
the parliamentary secretary of the for
eign office, Mr.. Curzon, that some ne
gotiatfons with the United States with
regard to Venezuela are still proceed
ing. No doubt it is in accord with dip
lomatic usage, the Times correspond
ent says, Ito speak of negotiations as
proceeding when they have not actu-
ally been broken off finally by one
party or the other. To say that ne
gotiations about Venezuela are still
proceeding there is, to use a phrase
which may be described as diplomatic,
or at the option of the reader, as Pick
Wickian."
1t is now some week since, in fact,
there have been any negotiations on
the subject. This government was re-
luctant to accept Lord Salisbury's re-
lection Of it's last proposal as final. 1t
entered gladly upon the discussion of
his proposal for general arbitration,
impracticable as the scheme he sug
gested was deemed. But having re-
ceived and undertaken to consider that
scheme on its merits, it then puts the
be said about Venezuela and it's own
proposal, whether no counter proposal
or suggestion was to be expected. The
answer was no, but Lord Salisbury
hoped that progress might be made
with the general arbitration scheme.
1t was pointed out in reply that from
this general arbitration scheme Ven
ezuela was excluded. But this had no
effect.
Edftorially the Times says: 1.-The
American reply to Lord Salisbury's
project for general court of arbi-
.tration only reached the foreign Office
yesterday. Its contents are disclosed
but everybody is aware that it is
counter proposal. With regard ito di-
rect negotiations, Sir Julian Paunce-
fote, British ambassador in Washing
ton, has full power TO discuss with Sc
nor Andrade, Venezuelan minister in
Washington, whenever the like pow
ers are granted to the latter"

NEW YORK, April 24.-Archbishop
Ireland of st. Paul. who has been in
Washington attending the consecra-
ton of the new bishop Of Sioux Falls.
DR.. O'Gorman, was at the Fifth Ave
nue. hotel tonight. In an interview he
said that his church duties did: not

an individual American citizen. Asked
to state his preference in regard ito a

said:

THE A. P. AS? Well. 1 have heard

that politicians and leaders of political

clared the assertions of the American
consul and merchants were false and
stated that he had only applied their

forbade them and took energetic steps

Spanish advices attribute the dis

abuses in the local administration, the
immortality of the Spanish officials, and
above all, to the petty tyranny of the
religious orders, which practically are
more powerful than the Spanish vice

JACK CHINN WAS BEATEN.
One Instance in Which the Ken
tuckfan Came Out Second Best.

Few men have borne a more promi-
nent part in Kentucky politics THAN
the distinguished Kentuckian who
goes by the short but emphatic name
of Jack Chinn. He has the record of
being the handsomest man in the
state. He is a giant in stature and
Samson in strength. Chinn isl also
something of an expert in the use of
lethal weapons. He is said to WELD
a bowie with the grace and facility of
its inventor. There is only one case
on record where Chinn ever was rout-
ed, and he related the case personally
to Senator Lindsay on one occasion.
The latter told it at the capitol yester-
day
1t was, said the senator, during the
Chicago convention which nominated
Mr.. Cleveland, to which Chinn was a
delegate. He was a strong Cleveland
man, and the sight of a Tammany
Democrat with a Hill badge in his
lapel grieved him sorely. Standing
in front of the Wigwam one day it oc-

anti-Tammany spleen on crowd OF
Tammany braves just then coming to-

this in a few emphatic epithets, which
briefly but forcibly epitomized; his
supreme contempt for the whole tribe
whereat the braves took offense and
made joint rush for the chivalrOuS
Kentuckian. Jack made a pass for
his knife, but before he could get his
hand on the weapon the Indians closed
in on him and the next instant what
there was of the six foot one of the in
vincible Chinn was flying skyward in
the air The Tammany braves had at
tempted to toss him as high as the
telegraph wires which stretched. over
their heads, but as they had not given
quite enough impetus to their first eff
fort they caught him before he struck
the ground and tossed him up again.
Chinn managed to get hold of the tele-
graph pole and slid to the ground, but
the braves caught him again and this
performance was repeated ten times.
Jack put in several months at a
ffrst-class hospital. undergoing re-
pairs, and left that establishment with
no increased regard for the tribe Of
Tammany But it is the only time on
record that the distinguished Ken
tuckian was ever put hors de. COM

the rate of $50 per month.

the pension bill.
Mr.. Layton Dem., o. criticised some
features of the measure. and expressed
the hope that opportunity would be af-

PEELED to vote on the bill as it was, he

The section of the bill to which he took
exception would give a pension to every

tederate army ninety days before the sur

General w. A Norris $75 The Morris

man Of the committee moved to amend
by making the rate SIS. He explained
that there had been considerable COM

pensions to officers and officers
widows. He thought the complaint
without just foundation and advocated
moderation in fixing the amount in
such cases.
