Hon. P. P. Bishop Dead

On Friday afternoon Putnam p.
Bishop of Citra, in this county,
died at the age OF u The de-
ceased was one of most prominent
and highly esteemed citizens of
Florida. Twenty-Five years ago
he first came TO this state and set
tied at Mateo, where he remained
few years and moved to Citra,
where ne built up the finest and
largest orange groves in the state
He was the first to put in practice
the idea of budding wild orange
groves and converting them into
groves of sweet fruit.
In orange grove property hewas
at one time one of the wealthiest
men in the state, but almost all OF
his wealth was swept away in a
night. He was then nearly 70
years of age, but in spite of this
fact, he was undaunted and went
bravely TO work to restore his pro-
perty. In this task he was enga-
sed up to the time of his death.
Mr. Bishop was, in his younger
days, minister of the Baptist
faith. He was compelled to give
up the pulpit, however, and came
to Florida for his health, but he
has always lived up to the preceP:s
of Christianity, and those with
whom he came in contact admired
and respected him for his many
noble traits of char cter.
His life was filed with noble
acts OF Christian charity and bere-
ficence and hosts offfiends al over
rhc state will mourn his death.
The funeral services were he'd
at Citra on Sunday afternoon and
were attended BY alarge concourse
of sorrowing friends.

Cyrs1e Vaudeville Company

This company was greeted at
the opera house Saturday night
by a rather small audience and
the company did not exhibit much
enthusiasm in the play. Cyrene
in her slack wire performance was
very fac. Every one said that the
cineptotograph living and moving
pictures were fully worth the
price of admission. These pictures
ore as vivid as the animal scenes
from which they were taken.
While they were being shown the
audience were speil-bound by the
wonderful exhibition.

few steps from the track. and by
the time water was put OF the fire

The boys had two streams playing
on the fire and succeeded in extin-
gushing it in time 10 save the
chimneys ard part of the charred
frame. The house was two story

about $1,000 and was owned by
Rev. Gaines, a colored man who

Several people were sleeping in
the house who were not aware of

late to do more than escape with
their lives, except in long one
story wing from which the furni
ture was saved, that being the
last place actacted by the flames.

ROYALTIES ON FUR SEALS.

Decision Against the North American
Commercial Company.
New York, April 29.-In the suit of
the United States against the North
American Commercial Copmany. les.
sees of the Pribyloff islands, and the
isles of st. Paul and st. George, Alaska,
for $132, 1879, with interest, for the
rentals due under the contract, and also
for royalties and taxes on $500 seals
taken during the season which ended
in April, 1894, Justice Wallace, of the
United States court, today decided in
favor of the United States. He holds,
however, that the modus vivendi with
Great Britain was breach OF contract
on the part of the United States with
the North American Commercial Com
pany, and therefore awards judgment
for only $94,687, and says that the
North American Commercial Company
has a claim against the government for
about $40, 900, to be collected through
the court of claims. The modus vivendi
ended in 1894. The effect of this de-
cision will be to enable the government
in other suite to collect about $500. 600
from the North American Commercial
Company, for the years Of 1895 and
1895.

A SPANISH BUTCHER.
Bloody Work Done Near Havana b
General MelquizO.

Bloody Work Done Near Havana by
General Melquizo.
Key West, Fla, April 29.-A letter
from Havana, dated April 25, says:
While Delgado, the American, is
slowly convalescing from the wounds
inflicted on him by Spanish soldiers
under General Melquizo's bidding sew
eral weeks ago, the brutal Spanish OFF,
Ger is still butchering people in Havana
province. Although official investiga-
ton shows that Melquizo is guilty of
all the charges against him, he has not
been suspended from his command. He
is said to possess enough influence in
Madrid to make it exceedingly uncom-
Portable for any superior officer who
might endeavOr to bring him to punish
ment.
News received here tells of his con-
duct during the past two weeks. Near
Campo Florido, 80 the information
runs, Melquizo arrested nine peaceable
countrymen and by his orders they were
killed. At Minas, nineteen "pacificos"
fell into his clutches and were shot.
Near Baibo he RACED ten farms and
gathered in forty laborers who were
killed in cold blood. The most hor-
rible phase of the Last butchery is the
fact that women and children were
among those massacred. In the vicin-
ity of Juaraco, Melquizo ordered the
slaughter of forty seven persons who
were taken from fields where they were
at work. In Melquizo's territory the
people are fockjng to Havana to escape

Hammond and Coadjutors
Sentenced to Death.
COMPUTATION STILL EXPECTED
chamberlain Regarded as Having Made
Matters Worse by His Dicta-
tOrial OfhciOusness.

London, April 3O.-The secretary of
state for the colonies, Joseph Cham
berlain, announced in the house of
commons today that five leaders of the
reform committee, at Johannesburg, j.
81. Hammond, Francis Rhodes,
George Ferrar, Lionell Phillips and
Charles Leonard, had been condemned
to death.
Chamberlain added that upon hear
ing the news he had cabled to the
governor of Cape Colony, Sir Hercules
Robinson. to communicate the follow
ing to President Kruger: "This gov
eminent has just learned that the SEN
tence of death has been passed upon
five leaders of the reform committee.
1t feels no doubt that your honor will
commute the sentence, and has assured
parliament of it's conviction that this
is your honor's Intention
John Hays Hammond, one of the re-
form committeeman condemned to
death, Is a Californian.
The sentence of the reform commit
tee to death has produced great sen.
sation in London. In well-informed
circles, however, the sentence has
caused little surprise. 1t has been long
understood that very severe sentence
would be passed, in order that the
clemency that which President Kruger
is certain to exercise might appear
greater.
1t is thought probable that the sem
tence of death will be committed to a
short term of imprisonment and big
fine. unless Mr.. Chamberlain dispatch
to President Kruger. read in the house
of commons should irritate the chief
magistrate of the Transvaal into great
er severity than he would otherwise
exercise. Mr.. Chamberlain g telegram
is regarded here as being precipitate,
and as leaving President Kruger no
time to act on his own account, and as
having moreover the ring Of dictation.
In conclusion, President Kruger says:
under existing circumstances the
South African republic will not at
present press reconsideration of the
London convention and a substitution
for it of a treaty of amity and COM
MERGE, but will rest satisfied with Pc
cuniary compensation and with the as
surance that no violation of it's terri
tory will be repeated.'

After further debate, Quay's amend
ment was agreed to.
Washington, April 30.-The senate
was plunged into an exciting financial
debate today after several weeks of
serene and formal procedure on appro-
priation bills. The naval appropria.
ton bill was under confederation
and the item for four battleships, to
cost SIS, 900, 900. served as text for a
speech by German. pointing out that
the revenue of the government are less
than the receipts. German statement
brought out an animated controversy,
in which Sherman, Hale and Chandler
joined issues with the Maryland sena-
tor as to the responsibility for the
failure of tariff legislation in the pres
emit congress. Germans speech and
the frequent heated party colloquys it
developed, attracted great interest.
The battleship item was not completed
when the senate adjourned.
Washington. May 1.-Two notable
speeches by Senator Teller and Senator
Sherman, representing opposing ele-
ments on the financial question, were
heard in the senate today. Teller ad-
dressed himself particularly to the
Ohio senator, for coDtroverting the
views held by him and maintaining
that no honest effort had been made
in the present congress to pass tariff
bill. The senator referred to the Nc.
Kinley candidacy, saying that the mot
to of the advance agent of prosper
ity' was elusive. as no prosperity
could come until financial conditions
were reformed. The climax of Teller's
speech was reached when he announced
that he would vote as he spoke, and
that he would not hesitate to separate
himself from the great party with
which he had been allied for forty
years. if it pronounced for the gold
standard.
