This testimony. sent of their own free will to the board is voluminous and convincing, As to the accusation that Mesrs. Dwight and Washburn had accused the Robert College guard, Constantinople, of taking part in the massacre, Mastapha Bey slipped up at that point for there was no massacre there, nor in the immediate neighbor- hood. Mir Washbum and others of this college liked the guard. They were good, honest fellows who would obey orders and were pleased with the quiet and cleanly quarters of the col lege. One-half had been withdrawn, and when vacation ended and the stu dents returned. MT. Washburn told the remaining half that he now wanted their quarters. They replied they were "choil1e Pallat' (very comfortable) and did not wish to go. He was simply amused with their good-natured reply, and the story of Mutapha Bey is an in vention.
 On the ground of my personal knowl- edge of, and my intimate correspond ence with the east, l denounce, says Dr. Hamlin, every charge brought thus against myself and associates as a piece of cowardly falsehoods brought against men who have no protection.

CHEERS GREET MAJ. M'KINLEY
As He Emerges From His Carriage tt
 Enter Church in Chicago.

Chicago, Dec. 20.-A burst of ap- plause. mingled with some hearty cheers, greeted and surprised Major Mckinley when his carriage drove up to the Sixth Presbyterian church on Vernon avenue this morning. The sidewalk was crowded with people who were unable to find seats in the house of worship. Scores of persons fingered about the vestibule, the doors and the street in front of the church during the services and when Major Mckinley came out after the services the cheer ing and applauding were repeated.
 It was partially to avoid similar demonstrations that Major Mckinley remained so quietly at the home of his friends during the week and declin- ed invitations to visit many of the theaters He did not suppose enthu- siasm would express itself so emphat- ically on the Sabbath.
 Major and Mrs. Mckinley drove to the West Side after church and dined with a relative, the trip in the keen air being greatly enjoyed. The rest of the day was spent quietly.

SPAIN SOON TO SPEAK.
Prime Minister Canovas to Reply to Presi-
 dent Cleveland's Message.


 Madrid, Dec. 20.-Senor Canovas del Castillo, the prime minister, has receiv- ed the official text of President Cleve- lands message to the American con- gress, and will shortly make a decla- ration on that part of the document which refers to the Cuban question.
 Conferences have been held during the past few days between the most prominent men in political life in Spain with the object of seeking a. solution of the problem which confronts the gov- ernment which, it is possible, might cause a war with the United States. It is conceded in all political circles that the situation is grave, but it is thought that the willingness of Spain to grant reforms in the Spanish West Indies would tend to avert any display of aggressiyeness on the part of the United States One point is settled up- on and that is that no reforms shall be put into effect in Cuba until the in- surrection shall have been suppressed; for it is held that to offer reforms with the Cubans still in arms would indicate
 
 would also be derogatory to her honor. The the popular indignation caused by the receipt of the news of the &C., tion of the committee on foreign rela- tions shows little sign of diminution. there have been no manifestations against the United States or it's repre- sentatives anywhere in Spain. That such manifestations were expected, however, is shown by the fact that po- lice and gendarmes were detailed to guard the American legation here, and precautions were taken elsewhere to protect the various consulates of the United States should the excited people attempt to make an attack upon them. Orders were sent to the governors of the several provinces to prevent any anti-American demonstrations, and from dispatches received to-day from the provincial capitals. it is known that the orders were faithfully carried out
 Prominent presentations are confirm ed as stated in yesterdays dispatches that it is the intention of the govern ment, when the opportune moment ar- rives, to put in effect in Cuba, political and economical reforms, which, it is said, will be more liberal than those approved by the cortes last year.
 The death is announced to-day of Senor Don Manuel Decerrra, formerly minister of the colonies. He was very popular, and it Is said of him that he at one time hindered the sale of Cuba to the United States. The Epica, the organ of Senor Canovas, and the minis terialists, in commenting upon the sit- uation, says that Spain needs at the present moment much calm, sound judgment on the part of the public to avoid greater difficulties than those the government is now facing. As long as prudence is compatible with national honor Spain has nothing to do save to defend her rights if they are attacked. lContinued on Seventh Page.)

CONGRESS- PROBABLE ACTION.
General Belief That Moderation Will Pre-.
 vail.

Washington, Dec. 20.-The Cuban question and Secretary Olney's state- ment of the executives position may precipitate a debate in the senate to- morrow that will set aside the regular business assigned for the two days that that body will be in session before the holiday recess. It Is not improba- ble that some of the more radical Cu- ban sympathizers will start the dis tor Cameron's report shortly after the morning hour. Conservative senators who have studied the precedents are inclined to the opinion that the talk about serious difficulty between the president and congress has no sound foundation. Cool heads will counsel moderation. There is not the remotest probability of MT. Cameron's resolu- tion recognizing the independence of the republic of Cuba being acted upon in the senate before the holiday recess. When the debate does begin it is evil dent that Senators Morgan, Davis, Chandler Lodge, Cullom and Mills will take up a position adverse to that of the secretary of state and the discus sion may be prolonged till after the 4th of March.
 It was agreed in the committee on foreign relations that the report on the Cameron resolution should be made to- morrow, and that the matter should not be called up until after the holi- days. The agreement will be carried out.
 If the program of the senate, made before the Cuban question took such an acute form, is permitted to be car ried out, the senate will discuss the Oklahoma free homestead bill, which is the unfinished business.
 The beginning of the holiday recess, with the adjournment on Tuesday. gives but two days for business in the house, and there is small prospect of a quorum Consideration of the legis- lative and judicial appropriation bill, which is the unfinished business, will be resumed tomorrow, and the meas ure will probably be disposed of, unless the advocates of the library scheme, proposed by the joint committee as a substitute for the provisions reported by the committee, should require the presence of quorum In which case the bill will go over until after the hol- idays.

EIGHT IMMIGRANTS MUST DIE.
The Sentence of Death Pronounced Upon
 the Barcelonia PIotters.

tiie LHfcelonla FlOtterSs
 Barcelona, Dec. 2O.-Eight of the an- archists who were convicted of com plicity in the bomb throwing here in June last have been sentenced to death by the court martial before which they were tried. It is not known what sen- tences have been passed on the others. The attorney general asked the court martial to sentence twenty eight of the prisoners to death and fifty-siX to penal servitude for life.
 The proceedings were marked with the strictest secrecy, it being feared that the anarchists would make a demonstration if the fact of condemna- tion and sentencing of the prisoners should become generally known.
 The crime fol which the eight anar- chists will suffer death was the oc- casion of a religious procession in celebration of Corpus Christi. Just as the procession was entering the church of Santa Maria De Lamar, a bomb was thrown into the crowd that was watching the ceremony. The missile exploded with great violence, killing twelve persons instantly and wound ing about fifty others, some of whom subsequently, died

4 PorATO KNIFE HER WEAPON.
Sadie Reed Stabs Her Alleged Husband
 and Then Attempts Suicide.

Danbury, Dec. 20-S. Ward Williams, who Is prominently known in this city, was stabbed and seriously wounded late last night by a young woman nam ed Sadie Reed, who is alleged to be his wife. The cutting was done in a board- ing house kept by Mabel Parker on Main street, few doors away from the police station. Williams called at the boarding house, where the Reed wo- man was staying, and had a quarrel with her. AS Williams started to leave the house the woman followed him to the door and thrust the blade of a po- tato knife into his breast. inhicting a wound an inch and a half deep just be- low the heart.
 Williams rushed off to the police sta tion. and after telling his story he was taken to the Emergency hospital. Af ter the stabbing the Reed woman went to her room and tried to commit suicide by cutting her throat with knife and by jabbing a hat pin into her neck. She was taken to the police station and locked up, charged with assault with intent to kill.
 Williams injuries are considered to be quite serious. The surgeons found that the knife had penetrated the left lung and caused Internal hemmor rhages Williams lost considerable blood and tainted twice in the police station. The woman admitted doing the cutting. She said that Williams was her husband, having been married to him in New York city last Septem- Der. She said that he had called upon her and accused her of being intimate with other men. and a quarrel resulted.
 Williams is forty years of age and was employed here as an expert &C., countant He is a son of Town and City Treasurer Williams and a brother of Cashier Williams of the Danbury National bank. Miss Reed belongs in this city and was formerly employed in one of the hat factories.

with England it Is held that it showed the presidents power to act altogether without consulting congress, and it was an instance of an executive action which might have led to war. In this connection it is also pointed out that while congress can alone declare war, 1t is clearly within the power of the president, by his own action, to bring about a war, which, if declared by an opponent, would create condition he would be compelled to meet until con- gress could assemble and act, especial ly if hostilities were provoked on our coast

UYBRIDGE NEARLY DESTROYED. Confiagration Sweeps Through the Town Causing Loss of SI1O,OOO.

Worcester. Mass, Dec. 20.-The town of Uxbridge can thank the Worcester fire department that any of the busi- ness portion of the place is left stand ing. Fire early this morning destroyed four large business blocks and gutted another, and had an eye on the largest block in the town. the Methodist church and the Hotel Windsor, when an en- zine and hose company from this city arrived on a special train and laying 700 feet of hose to the river quickly got the better of the flames. The loss is about $100000, and the insurance will not exceed $60,000.

FAMILY BURNED TO DEPTH.
Father, Mother and Three Children Lose
 Their Lives,

New York, Dec 20.--A family of five persons were burned to death in their home, 514 East Fifty1eighth street, to- night by fire caused by the explosion of a piano lamp.
 The dead are: Aaron Goldsmith forty-five years old; Mrs Matilda Gold smith, thirty-three years old; Bertha Goldsmith, ten years old; Hattie Gold smith, eight years old; Frank Gold smith, six years old
 The only other persons in the house at the time of the fire was Mary Roska, a servant. She escaped by Jumping out of a second floor window to the rear yard. The damage done to the property by the fire was small Ds
 Th bodies of the victims of the fire were burned to a crisp and beyond rec ognition.
 In the front part on the first floor was an immense piano lamp. This lamp undoubtedly exploded, throwing the oil all about and spreading the fire in every direction. The flames spread to the two upper floors with remaTka- ble rapidity. From the locations of the bodies when found MT. and Mrs. Gold smith, with their six-year- son, must have been in the parlor, while the two little girls had just prepared for bed by the servant on the second floor. The servant was seen soon after the fire but was so hysterical that she could give no clear account of what had happened.
 MT. Goldsmith was the junior part ner of the firm of Hartman & Gold smith, wholesale liquor dealers, No. 45 Warren street

4LDERMEN INDIGNANT.
Councilmanic Boards Non-Concurrent
 Action Criticised,

Actlon
 Unless all signs fail the non-concur- rent work of the councilmanic board will be handled this evening by the aldermen without gloves. Several members of the upper branch of the municipal legislature yesterday did not hesitate to make known their indigna- tion at the way the councilmen treated the proposed increase of revenue aris- ing from the one-half mill tax which they saw fit to add to the rate reported by the board of finance. The aldermen had a special purpose in view, they say, when an increase of one mill was voted and that was to improve the streets. They resent taking the money for any other purpose.
 They will probably concur with the lower board making the rate thirteen and one-half mills, but there will be a redistribution of the money. The $15,OO appropriated for the street sprinkling account will be attacked with vigor, and it is almost certain that it will be stricken off. Several other appropriations made by the councilmen will fare no better.
 To-day will be a. busy one for the members of the lower board, to see to it that the work of Friday evening is not upset by the aldermen. In that event a committee of conference will be appointed. This will necessitate an- other meeting of both branches of the court of common council before the close of the year, as the estimates must be acted upon.
 The republican aldermen will hold a caucus this evening before the meet ing and decide upon the officers for the ensuing year James D. Dewell jr., Dr. B. L. Lambert and Charles D. Nicoll are the candidates. There will also be a joint caucus of the republican mem- bers of the court of common council for the purpose of selecting corpora tion counsel, assistant city clerk, lamp inspector and page. William H. Ely, Esq, Edward A. Street, Henry Hop kins and Hawley w. Lincoln, the pres ent incumbents of these offices re- spectively, will probably be chosen. The only one that has any opposition is Mir Hopkins, who is opposed by George K. Rose, but it is thought that the present inspector will land without serious difficulty.

pREs1DEN4 oLEvE1AND RETURNS.
He and Secretary Olney Hold Brief Con-
 sultation.

Washington, Dec. 2o.-President Cleveland returned to the white house at o'clock this morning and attended church little later with Mrs. Cleye- land. He appeared much benefited by his outing, and brought numerous fat ducks, which he caused to be distribu- ted among the members of his cabinet and personal friends. Secretary Thur Der called to see him and spent some time telling him of the events that had occurred during his absence, but no of- ficial business was taken up and it is not believed that the president feels called upon to add anything to the Cu- ban controversy at present.
 During the day Secretary Olney ap- peared at the executive mansion and had & brief consultation with the pres- ident. While there is no official guar antee for the assertion, it is not to be questioned that their conversation re- ferred almost solely to the latest phase in the Cuban situation.

Boston, Dec 20.-Alice Johnson, aged thirty years (white), the reputed wife of William Johnson (colored), was ter ribly burned tonight and probably cannot live till morning. In her ante mortem statement she accused her hus- band of pouring oil upon her and set ting it on fire.
