Perhaps 1 haven't" she answered. but
still it's better than to have too keen a

FELL TWENTY FEET.
JoEN HUGHES, OF MERcUR,
MEETS WITH AN ACCIDENT.
He Fell Out of Second Story Win

Twenty Feet Below-His Injuries
Are Not Supposed to Be Serious.

John Hughes, a prominent citizen Of
Mercur, had an unhappy experience
last night. or early this morning
rather, which might have ended SER
iouSly.
1t seems that Mrs Hughes presented
John with a bouncing baby boy and
there was accordingly great joy in the
household. Mr.. Hughes was in the
city yesterday. He has friends by the
score, and congratulations were the
order. of the day. About 1 o'clock this
morning he retired to his room, which
was on the second floor of the Cullen
A few moments afterwards the por-
ter heard some one grooming in the
alley. and upon investigating it turned
out TO be the Mercur man.
a hasty examination convinced the
hotel attendants that the man was SER
iously hurt, and DR.. Shinnick was sent
for. A closer examination by the ply
stefan revealed, however, that no bones
had been broken, though the poor man
had sustained several bruises.-.and
severe shock from the fall which must
have been about 20 feet. The man
had evidently walked out through the
window.
The injuries are not considered SER
ious, and Mr.. Hughes will be around
again in a day OF two. none the worse
for his experience

the Crowd In Time to Save His

Chicago, Dec. 25.-George Denmark,
I years old. was run over and killed
this afternoon bv an electric car at
Eighteenth and Throop street. Within
a few minutes 1.5OO people had congre-
gated on the corner and Fred Bernier.
the motorman, was roughly handled.
Bernier was accused of carelessness,
and the frenzed mob threatened to
lynch him. They dragged him from
the car and handled him in such a
manner that he is now nourishing sew
eral bruises. A riot call was sounded
and patrol wagons filed with officers
came from the Maxwell street and
Canal street police stations Bernier
was rescued from the hands of the
mob and taken to the station, where
he was locked I'D. He will be held to
await the action of the coroner's iurv.
The Denmark boy, who lived with
his parents at 603 Throop street. was
standing on the tracks when he was
struck by the car. His body was ter
ribly mangled.

Not Official.

New York. Dec. 25.-A Herald special
from Washington says:
Officials of the treasury department
do not know, officially, of the seizure
of the steamer Three Friends in Key
West. 1t is the intention of the Of
ficials to have a thorough investigation
made into the latest trip of the al
legged filibuSter. It is reported that the
vessel, her officers and crew will be
proceeded against under the laws pro-
hibiting armed expeditions on a power
in which the United States are at
peace. The officials believe that if
the reports of conflict with a Spanish
coast guard vessel can be SubStanti-
ated in the courts the vessel will be
condemned and her officers convicted
Under the law, the vessel would be
liable to forfeiture and her officers and
members of her criew would be liable
to fines of not more than $4,000 each
and Imprisonment. There has never
been any question as to such acts as
are alleged to have been committed by
the Three Friends being violations of
the neutrality laws.
It is not believed here that the Incl
dent will lead to any serious complica-
lions between the United States and
Spain. The Spanish government will
expect this government to enforce the
law against the vessel and her owners
and crew if they have been guilty of
violating its provisions. This is all
that could be expected, unless it could
be proved that this government had not
exercised due diligence in attempting
to prevent the departure of the ex-
petition. In that case the United
States might be liable to Spain for
heavy damages

The report that the tug exchanged

condemned as a pirate
Captain Lewis was seen this even
ing. He insists he has not violated cry
law and declares the Three Friends
has been engaged only in legitimate
trade. Captain O'Brien, who is also
attached to the tug, makes a similar
statement
Consul-Genera1 Lee called on Cap
tain Lewis during his brief visit ashore
and had a long conference with him
about the reported cruise of the tug
1t is not known whether General Lee
was acting under instructions from
Washington or obtaining Information

actually took place between the tug
and Spanish tug boats the matter, it is
thought, viii be brought to his atten-

LII In BOSTON.
EX-QUEEN ARRIVED THERE
LAST NIGHT.
She Is Anything But Pudding For
Reporters Who Try to Interview
Her on Subjects She Does Not
Care to Talk About.

New York, Dec 25.-Liliaukalani, ex-
queen OF the Hawaiian Islands. ar
rived in Jersey City from the south at
1:25 this Afternoon. A crowd of curious
persons were at the station to meet
her, and when her private car came
to stop in the Pennsylvania railway
station they gathered close around it
in order to catch glimpse of the de-
posed queen
After q brief interval, the ex-queen
appeared on the platform of the car,
and addressing those present saids

ceDtion. Americans are most cordial

Later, in conversation with a repre-
sentative OF the United Associated

visit was purely a friendly one. She
further said that she did not know
whether she would later go to Wash

ranged for more than a month

perd. l will stay with the Lees for
four weeks at least. and then [ shall
go wherever my fancy dictates"
What about the annexation of
Hawaii?" was asked.
At this point the ex-queen seemed to
forget her fluent English, and feigned
not TO understand. When the question
was put again she was equally dense,
and it was evident the annexation
question was not to be discussed by
the ex-eueen.

Rebel Camp Captured.

Havana, Dec. 25.-An official an
nouncement was today made that the
troops under Colonel Rabanal have had
an engagement with several rebel par
ties under Rojas. The scene of the
fighting was near CimarrooneS
province of Puerto Principe. A rebel
camp was captured and the insurgents
were completely dispersed, with the
loss of SO killed. The Spanish loss was
one killed and eight wounded.
Advices from more reliable source
than the government shows that the
so-called engagement was simply a
massacre of unarmed Cubans by the
troops. While the train was passing
along the railway between Caibairen
and Camaguani, province of Santa
Clara, a dynamite bomb exploded,
wrecking the armored car containing
the trains military escort. Two SOL
diers were killed and two wounded.

OLNEY IS CORRECT.
PHELPS AGREES WITH HIM AS
TO THE PRESIDENTS POWERS.
Question Whether Cuba Shall Be
Recognized Lies With the Execu-
tive, and Not With Congress.

Burlington, VT, Dec. 25.-Hon. E. j
Phelps expressed himself tonight or
the Cuban question as follows:
Il have no doubt that the position
of Secretary Olney, as recently pub
lished, is entirely correct. The ques-
ton whether q government shall be
recognized in country where an at
| tempt at revolution is in progress, is
| certainly for the executive to determ-
| inc, and not for congress. No legisla-
ton by that body can under any con-
stitution decide it. They can, of
course, pass resolutions upon the sub
| ject if it please; but they, in no re-
spect, control the discretion of the &C
ton of the president. Besides, no gov
eminent can be recognized until it ex-
lists. The government recognized by
other governments when dispute in
respect to it exists, is always the de-
facto government. The recognition by
other nations of a government once in
| existence must always continue until
1t is actually subverted and new one
put in its place When it is over.hrown
aud another established, that becomes
entitled to recognition.
The rebels in Cuba have no organ
lied government. ana not even an abid-
ing place which they can call their
own. They are merely a guerrilla force,
whica would speedily be annihilated if
1t allowed itself TO be drawn into a
general engagement with the much SUI
perior Spanish army. 1t preserves it's
existence by its dexterity in avoiding
such an engagement. 1t would be alb
Surd to say that such a force consti-
tutes government, or that the Span
ish government in Cuba has been over
thrown. or that any diplomatic rela
tons cCuli exist between these rebels
and the government Of the United
States. r Gs7a
IF this country interferes by arms
in that contest, it must be by assist
ing the rebellion in Cuba to disDlace
the Spanish government and set UP an
other. This would be declaration of
war against Spai,l, country with
which we are and always have been at
peace, and froil which we have re-
ceived no injury and no provocation.
1t would be a gross and utterly I'M
justifable violation of international
law, which no country can assume to
protect in the eyes of the world. 1t
would, in my Judgment, be fatal to
the restoration of business prosperity
which is now our most vital necessity
and which has been so long postponed
that it cannot be much longer delayed
without the most serious conse-
quences. We cannot afford to go to
war with any country at this time,
unless a war should be forced upon us
in self-defense, which would be a grave
calamity of which there is happily
no danger. We need, above all things,
rest and peace and an opportunity to
attend to our affairs, without the inter-
ruption Of constant panic and alarm
set on foot and kept up by reckless
congressional and political agitators.
The time has come, in my opinion,
when it needs to be determined whether
the interests of this country are to be
controlled by the men who make it's
name, or by those who do it's work.
