WANTED TO FIGHT A DUEL.

Capt Thomas Phelan Asked Representa-
tive Linton to Meet Him at Bladenburg.
Washington. March 14.-Representa-
tive Linton, Of Michigan, the leader Of
the A. P. A. sentiment in the House.
received some days ago letter from
Captain Thomas Phelan, of Kansas
City. the we'll known Irish agitatOr, in
which Captain Phelan challenged him
to fight duel at Bladensburg, the chal-
lenge being preceded by long denun-
citation of Mr. LintOns course in op-
tions and the placing of the statue Of
Father Marquette in the Capitol. Mr..
Linton was asked to-day if he had made
any reply to the challenge. He said:
Ever since the House defeated the
appropriations for sectarian institu-
tions in the District of Columbia bill
partly through my efforts. my mail has
been loaded every day with great num-
bers of letters from religious fanatics
and crancks, denOuncing me violently,
threatening dire vengeance and death
in various forms. All of these letters
I have thrown in the waste basket.
suppose Phelan's letter went into the
waste basket with the others.
Since publicity has been given to it
I may conclude to make some reply.
Not so much to the Phelan as to the fac
tional spirit which he represents. Of
course fighting duels is not in my line 8"
Captain Phelan is represented as a
celebrated broad swordsman and a Fe-
nian. A few years ago he was stab
bed in a row in O'Donovan Rossa's Of
fee. New York.

FELL INFO A GRAVE.
GruesOme Experience of Miss

Blanche Baird.
PITTSBURG, Pa, Nov. S.-Blanche
Baird, young woman of Homestead,
had a gruesome experience this after
noon, when she fell into the grave pre-
pared for her late friend, Nellie Chap
man. The two young women had been
devoted friends, and Miss Baird was
among the most affected mourners at
the funeral. She accompanied the re-
mains to their last resting place, and
was close to the grave when she was

pened so that she stepped on the lid
of the rough box, which tilted, throw
ing her, feet first, into the grave. AS
she fell, she struck her head and
shoulders on the side of the grave, and
the lid fell on her, striking her on the
back of the neck.
The young woman was pulled out in
an unconscious state and removed to
her home, where d physician attended
her. She did no. regain consciousness
until three hours later. Her injuries
are said to be slight. but she was
greatly frightened.

BLOODY AND BRUTAL.
MORE DASTARDLY WORK BY WEY-
LER'S HE'LL HOUNDS.
An American Citizen Attacked,
SIashed and Robbed, and the
Women of the Household Grossly
InsuIted.

KEY WEST, Fla, Nov. Spas
Havana brought news of another out
rage committed on an American citi-
zen. Although the details are incom-
plete, the facts are positive, since the
victim has filed a protest with Vice
Consul Springer, and the case has been
sent to Washington for instructions.
1t appears that near the town of San
Jose De Las Lajas, this province, a
Spanish force patrolling the country
surprised three rebels, who tried to
sneak into town. The Spaniards gave
chase, and the rebels fed. In order to
discover the hiding place of the fugi-
tives, the Spanish forces divided into
squads of 80 men and sent them in
different directions and one of these
parties went to the estate owned by
Cuban where Frederick L. Craycraft,
native of Indiana, and only two
years in. Cuba, was manager. They
entered the residence, destroyed the
furniture and ransacked the premises.
The women present were insulted in
| the most Outra geouS- manner. Cray
craft protested that he was an Ameri-
can and showed papers This seemed
to incense the officer in command, who
drew a sword and commenced slashing
at Craycraft. He managed to avert
death, but was wounded in the back,
receiving a fearful cash that carried
away part of the flesh. His forearm
was also cut to the bone. The other
officers, interfering, saved his life.
Craycraft was forced to deliver about
$3.50 in his possession. Meantime Cray
craft heard great cries outside and later
found seventeen pacificos had been
killed. There was not one insurgent
among them. All this was reported
last week as a great Spanish victory
Letters received from Puerto Prin-
cipe give further details of the capture
of the town of Guayamaro by CaliXto
Garcia. The whole garrison, 100 men,
surrendered and are still prisoners, al
though Garcia sent word to Castellanos
that he would deliver them.
Garcia is also attending the officers
and soldiers wounds.
1t is rumored Weyler has issued
secret orders to military commanders
in sugar districts prohibiting grinding,
except on Spanish properties. Orders
have also been issued to seize
foreigners residing on sugar estates.
to kill cattle and destroy implements
and to stimulate a fight in order to
scare the farmers and. laborers.
Passengers by the steamer Olivette
also report that numerous insurgents
from the command OF General Gomez
have entered the province OF Mata07as
during the past few days, and have
caused General Weyler 10 disustlcil -
600 of his troops stationed in Pinar Del
Rio district into Matanzas. Consider
able excitement exists in Havana and
also in Matanzas, fearing an attack
upon the latter place.
