HAS THIS COUNTRY BEEN THREAT
INED?

friend has sent us copy OF the
Weekly London Times fer January ISL
IN which we find the following;
Our Paris correspondent says that the
rr,,,ed States Government have been SON
NdentIallv Informed. although IN very
friendly terms. that the European Powers
could not remain impassive in case the
limited States should presume 10 exer-
else pressure on Spain by recognizing
the Cuban insurgents in any form what
ever or by encouraging their resistance
III our correspondent is correct the WASH
inRton Government has IT the same time
been informed hat Germany Is even now
quite ready to take the side Of Spain in
case the United States should show any
disposition TO ,ncroach on Spanish rights
by officially siding with the rebels.
According TO our Berlin correspondent
academic conversations are now proceed
ing in certain Foreign Offices as TO the
measures which the European Powers
should take. in order. It is said. Ito form

cialsm now threatening all political or

parlers that the friendly warnings 10 the
United States had their origin. for the

At the time this publication appeared
IN the London Times. that is some five
weeks back. n brief account OF 1t was
caoled 10 this country. and we made
some comments upon II then. But the ca
bied accounts were very far from repro
ducing tho article as Il appears ABOVE.
What was published In this country then
represented Germany as putting in a
plea for mercy 10 Spain. There was not
tho scintilla OF threat IN her attitude
as II was then represented TO the Amerl-
can people. But n the above truly repre-
SCENTS tho action that has been taken
IN this Cuban business by some European
Powers (whose names are left I'm doubt
and no protest he's been sent back by this
Government 10 the Foreign Government
or governments moving IN the matter
then this Government has been very dis
tinctiy and seriously warned
We would no; have our Government 10
alter its course towards Spain and Cuba
by one hairs breadth on account OF any
communication whatever that II may re-
ceive from Germany or any Syndicate"
OF European Powers whether containing
threats or approving OF our course. Our

CLINTON ROBBERS.
Their MurderOus Methods and
Fortunate COwardice.
The Experience of John Daley and
His Wife.

The Sabina News.Record tells Of q
murderous outrage which occurred ne al
that place last week. Itsays, after night,
q man knocked at the door of the vener.
able John Daley, near Lees Creek with
the announcement that they had tele.
gram for him from Highland. When he
went to the door and while he stood
with his hand on the knob one of the
parties fred ball from a 38 caliber re.
volver through the door in the proper
position to have struck him square in
the breast if he had been behind the
door, but Mr. Daley stood on the other
side of the casing and hence he escaped
this inte nded injury. The robbers, two
in number, at once kicked in the win
dow sash, went in and began a brutal
assault upon the aged occupants. Mr.
Daley is vigorous old man and fought
brayely, but one of them hacked his
head literarly in shreds at the rear and
he was eventually overcome, being
knocked into insepsibility. They wrap.
ped him in bed cover and then turned
their attention to Mrs. Daley with de.
mand for money. NIr. Daley had sold
his hogs a few days before, but had
banked the money. The thieves thought
it was yet about the house and threat
ened all kinds OF torture to secure the
money, which they thought should be Q
about $75. Mrs Daley offered them
what ch ange she had, some six or seven
dollars, but they refused it and threaten
ed to burn off the feet of the old mai
if she didn't divulge the hiding place oi
the money.
In the meantime Mr.. Daley came t.
himself and watching favorable oppor.
tunlty sprang out the open window and
in bare feet made lively run toward
the residence of Jack Rhonemus. A.
soon as the thieves discovered his es
cape they ran to the yard to overtake
him but failing in this they hastened
away toward Sabina, not having secured
q cent.
Mr.. Daley was taken to DR.. Taylor
who dressed his wounds and it required
six stitches to sew up one of the gashes
in the back and side of bis head. He ia
in serions condition and Mrs. Daley is
greatly shocked from the occurance.
The venerable parents are now near
seventy years of age, ,and while they are
sturdy and hale for persons of this age,
this nights torture is heavy blow to
them.
The assailants were masked, but it is
ir thought they can be detected. A re.
ward of $50 is offered for their capture
and conviction. The parties drove to
the scene with horse and buggy which
they hitched near by.

Our free.trade friends may enjoy
cracking the following nut from across

The English statistician Mulhall has
disappointed the free traders by pointing
out the fact that the expectations of the
United States have increased three times
as fast as the population during the pro.
tective tariff period. Mr.. Mulhall shows
in q recently published article that while
the increase in population in the past
twenty years has been So per cent. the
increase in the value Of expectations has
been l75 per cent.
