GARCIA FAILED TO RESPOND.
His Bond Win Be Forfeited Unless He Is
preae,,t Nor

New York, March 23-General Garcia,
the Cuban leader did not answer to his
name this afternoon in the United States
circuit court when he was called to plead
to the Indictment against him for his al
legged connection with the steamship Ber-
muda's alleged filihustering expedition.
Owing to the illness of Judge Brown
Judge Lacomhe was on the bench. The
other men who were indicted. Bernardo
j. Bueno, Captain Hughes John H. Hart,
Capt Lawrence Brabason and B. j.
Guerra. answered tn their names when
called. After tIansacting some routine
business the court called General Gar
cia's name again. There being no re-
sponse, the generals bail was declared
forfeited and the trial of the defendants
was set down for Monday next. II was
announced that should General Garcia
appear and answer on Monday the order
cancelling his bail will be rescinded. OIL
cott Ward & WINS, who represent the al
legged filibusters who responded in court
today, were anxious to proceed to trial
at once, but this was opposed by United
States District Attorney McFarlane, who
stated that the jail cases In the criminal
calendar had not yet been disposed of,
and until those in confinement had been
tried all bail cases would be postponed.
Judge Lacombe decided that the Cuban

Thirteen Miners Perished.

Dubois, Pa, March 23.-There was a
gas explosion at the Berwind-White
shaft, at the eastern limits of the town,
this afternoon, and thirteen miners were
killed. 1t is a new mine, which the conf
pany has been opening up and working
crews In shafts to push the heading out
in various directions for big work later
on. Seventeen men went on at o'clock
this morning, thirteen going into the
north heading and four into the south
heading. About 10 o'clock the latter
were sensible of shock, and a few min
utes later the mine boss came to them
and told them something had happened,
and that they should get out as soon as
they could When the party, then con-
sisting of five, reached the foot of the
shaft, they were nearly overcome by gas,
and were hurriedly taken up in the cage

Ten bodies have thus far been recov-

Jackson and Walling Arraigned.

Newport, KY, March 23-Jackson and
Walling We're brought before Judge Helm
this morning that they might plead to
the indictment charging them with the
murder of Pearl Bryan. Sheriff Plum
mer had issued tickets of admission, so
that when the case was called the court
room was only comfortably filled. There
was an immense crowd of people in the
lower halls of the court house who want
ed tickets, but they were doomed to dis
appointment. AT 10 o'clock the two lead
ing attorneys for the defense entered in
company with the commonwealth attor-

arraigned they pleaded not guilty. Upon
the demand of their attorneys an order
was entered that the cases be tried sepa-
rately. jackson will be placed on trial
first, and April was fixed as the date
for his hearing. The prisoners were then
taken to their cells.

House of Commons.

London, March 23.-In the house of
commons today Mr.. j. NJ. White, liberal
member for Forfarshire, moved the re-
lection of the bill amending the diseases
of animals act of 1894, introduced by Mr..
Waller H. Long, president of agents,
which proposed making the restrictions
placed upon the Importation of cattle
permanent, instead of leaving them to
the discretion of the board of agents. In
speaking of his motion, Mr.. White said
the measure, If it became a law, might
do a@trifie of good against the enormous
harm which would result to the food con-
sumers' interests and to the colonies. 1t
was, he declared, the silliest form of pro-
lection.
The Rt. Hon. James Bryce, formerly
president of the board of trade, and the
Rt Hon. A. J. Mundella, also an eX-
professor of that body, were among those
who opposed the bill.
The Rt Hon. A. J. Balfour, first lord
of the treasury and government leader
in the house, defended the measure. he
denied that it was a protective bill.
Mr. Whites motion was defeated by
vote of 244 to 95.
Many of the members abstained from
voting.
The bill then passed it's second reading
without a division.

THE CRISIS Is NEAR.
Spain With Tokens of Revolution at
Home and War in Cuba.

Spain With Tokens OF q Revolution at
Home and War in Cuba.
Havana March 81, via Tampa, Fla,
March 23.-Spain, with rebellion growing
apace in Cuba. tokens of coming revolu-
tion at home, dangers of war with the
United States, exhausted credit and cor
tes dissolved pending new elections, Is
in a perilous position. Political leaders
here who are well informed say that the
crisis is not far off. One of the reformist
party said today:
"When Canovas succeeded Sagasta the
Cuban rebellion was just begun and Sa-
gasta, who was supported by the fusion
lists, offered him support in whatever war
measures should be adopted to suppress
the trouble. But Canovas, evidently
lacking confidence in the support of Sa-
gasta and the fusionists, who, with the
republicans, formed majority in the
cortes, and fearing coalition with the
Carlists and other dissatisfied factions
for the purpose of crushing him. he de-
cided to dissolve the cortes and, with all
the government machinery at hand, OBJ
tanned a victory over his opponents by
returning a majority in his favor in the
new cortes. With this end in view, he
consulted General Weyler as to the pos
sibility of holding elections in Cuba.
Weyler not only declared that 1t was pos
sibIe but telegraphed his guarantee that
they would take place. Then Canovas
issued the decree dissolving the Spanish
parliament. NOW, Wnen IL mas become
manifested that no elections can be held
in Cuba, and Sagasta has taken a hand
and denounced the action of Canovas in
allowing the cortes to be dissolved at
this critical period, the political chaos
that has followed is indescribable. The
reform and automatic parties in Cuba
have refused to take part in bogus
election and the reform party in Spain
talks of remaining away from the polls
What the outcome will be no one can
tell. 1t would not be surprising il the
republicans who have been gaining In
strength for some time, should improve
the opportunity to overthrow the mon-

Alex Carr Confesses.

Atlanta, Ca, March 23.-Alex Carr, who
is to be hanged here on Friday, confessed
today that he has been shamming insan-
ity for more than year. He shot and
killed James King on the streets In Au-
gust, 1894 When his trial came on Carr
pretended to be insane. He was twice
examined by experts, who pronounced
him sane He allowed his hair to grow
long, and never spoke to anyone except
his lawyers. He has had two trials, and
was convicted both times and has been
twice sentenced to death. The strain be-
came too great on him as the day of his
execution approached, and this afternoon
he sent for Sheriff Barnes and confessed.

POOR CONSOLATION FOR CLARKE.

FIGHTING AND PRAYING.

1t required but few moments
for those inside to comprehend the
situation. One of the furloughed
soldiers said to his companions
"Here Is Bill Anderson and his dew
lis. There is nothing to do but to
say our prayers"
There was tall, lank soldier
from one of tie upper counties
in Missouri, who replied (: "You
can say your prayers, but am GO
ing to die fighting"
Opening the window he fred and
wounded one of Anderscn's men,
and if they had thought of sparing
a single man this act alone would
have doomed them al to certain
death. Instead of killing them on
the cars, Bill Anderson ordered
that they be brought outside and
stood mp in line where the whole
number could be winnowed unto
death. When the line was formed
there proved TO be 81 soldiers and
one jew, who wox--s~srs5icr's blue
blonse. He begged hard, saying he
was not a soldier, but Allen Palmer
told him to shut up and take hls
place, telling him he ought to have
had more sense than to wear SOL
dier's clothes and make himself a
target to be shot at for nothing.
The line being fully formed, Ander-
SON ordered the carnage to begin.
There was at once a fusillade of
pistol shots, and at the first fire
more than half of the men threw
up their hands and fell dead in
their tracks. Five minutes from
the beginning every one of the Sc
was dead, and nearly every one of
them was shot through the centre
of the forehead, so unerring was
the aim of the guerrillas. When
they were oil dead the scene was in
deed horrible and pathetic. Blood
flowed freely from each corpse and
formed little streams as it ran down
the embankment by the side Of the
railroad. With the whiskey that
many of them had imbibed and the
effect wholesale bloodshed has upon
men of this kind there was scene
SO fierce and demoniacal as to rival
