tails about the arrest OF Rev. Mr..

quarters. His residence was thor
oughly searched.
Consul General Williams prompt
ly made inquiries. Diaz is ma
tive Creole. He has been acting
as a missionary for a number of
years in charge of the Gethsemane
church and has frequently been in
trouble with the authorities
He called on the consul general
OF the United States, Feb. II, 1877,
and requested him to write let
ter to the captain general and in
form him that he (Diaz) was super
visiug bishop of the Baptist church
in Cuba. He had a controversy
with the Roman Catholic bishop
Of Havana, because the latter pre-
vented Diaz from using property

also engaged in the undertaking
business. He is a naturalized cit
izen Of the United States, and has

tomary steps to protect the inter-
ests of American citizens.

FITZSIMMONS FL0ORED.
WAS DAZED FOR AN HOUR LAST
NIGHT.
Has Burn on His Thigh and One Finger
His Pet, Nero, Was Killed-EleC-
tric Wires Caused It.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, April H.
Robert Fitzsimmons, the prize
fighter, came within an inch of be
ing electrocuted last night. AS it
was, his pet lion, Nero, was killed
and Fitzsimmons was severe
ly shocked and quite seriously
burned. q
On account of the extremely
warm weather the lion yesterday
was taken to the roof of the Rum
sey gymnasium, on Erie street,
where he was chained up. Shortly
after midnight last night Fitzsim-
mons, accompanied by Ernest
Roeber, the wrestler, and Lewis
Robertson, an attache Of the gym
nasium, went up on the roof to see
the animal.
On reaching the roof Fitzsim-
mons called to the lion, which,
upon hearing its masters voice,
sprang forward to the length OF the
chain and over some electric light
wires. A shower Of sparks quickly
followed at the contact with the
wires. The lion received shock
and again sprang toward Fitzsim-
mons, who sprang against the wall
adjoining the building. The lion
sprang past him, drawing the chain
taut against the pugilist's thighs,
who cringed under the severe
shock. In his agony the lion
leaped over the edge Of the roof and
hung by his neck.
Fitzsimmons was pulled from
under the chain and was removed
to his hotel. There Is burn
across his thighs and small burn
on the knuckle OF the index finger
Of the right hand. That is all the
visible evidence OF the terrible or
deal, although Fitzsimmons was in
a dazed condition for over an hour.
When the lion was pulled up from
the side OF the building where he
was suspended, he was dead.

TAYLOR TOPICS.
Politics Warming Up Between the Dem
ocrats and Pops.


TAYLOR, Texas, April H.-(Spe-
cial)-The race for the state senate
from this Cthe twentieth) senate
rial district, composed OF Burnet,
Travis and Williamson counties,
promises to become real interest
ing. There are two democratic
candidates in the field. Hon. Thad.
Thompson, of Travis county, and
DR.. w. Il. Yeti, OF Burnett county.
In the senatorial district conven-
ton, which is to convene at Aus
tin for nominating a candidate for
this honor, there are "a votes,
divided as follows: Travis has II
votes, Williamson 8 and Burnett 3
votes. Granting that each county
will instruct for its candidate,
there will be tie on the first bal
lot of twelve votes each. Acquiesc-
ing in the claim of Burnett county
to name the next democratic nomi-
nee, Williamson county, through
her late convention, instructed for
Yeti. Add Burnett county's three
votes to those OF Williamson's nine
and we have a dozen, the same
number of votes Travis county will
have in the convention. AS con-
sequence tie is possible which
may result in "a dark horse" being
made the nominee. Since Travis
county has been ably represented
in the senate during the last ses-
sion of the legislature by Hon.
Walter Tips, IL Is the opinion Of
Williamson county democrats that
the honors now rightfully belong
to Burnett county.
Efforts are being made by party
leaders to have joint debate at
Taylor at an early date between
Hon. John w. Parker, democratic
nominee to represent Williamson
county in the next legislature, and
w. w. helms, ESQ.,, populist candi-
date for county judge, upon the
leading political issues OF the day.
The county convention Of the
prohibition party Of Williamson
county meets at Georgetown next
Tuesday, April q, to nominate a

Crispi Talks About Kassala.

NEW YORK, April ia special
from Rome to the Herald says :
Signor Crispi says that the politi-
cal situation has by no means been
changed by the meeting at Venice
between the emperor Of Germany
and the king OF Italy. When
asked If it was true that the
Marquis di Rudini originally in
tendad to evacuate Kassala, Sig
nor Crispi said that he had thought
that was his intention.
Signor Crispi said: "He relied
upon General Baldissera taking
the initiative to bring this result
about. When Colonel Stevania
brilliantly routed the Dervishes
and in consequence of the irritation
of the people at the projected with
drawal, the idea OF the evacuation
was abandoned.
"Althcugh the semi-official press
continues to harp on the unsani.
tary nature OF the place, as IL in
order to prepare public opinion on
the subject, TO evacuate Kassala
sooner would have been a serious
error and an act of treason to Eng
land and TO civilization whose in
interests are at stake in the
conflict with the Mshdi's hordes,
Italy must never forget that
British friendship is Of the greatest
moment to her."
