She Cannot Much Longer
Retain Cuba.
Her Money All Gone and She
Can Get No More.
Must Repudiate Her Debts and Let
the Island Have Its Freedom.

New York. Aug. THE World pub
fishes an interview said to have been OBJ
tained with John Sherman. secretary OF
state, just previous to his return TO Wash
ington from Amagansctt, Ia. l. In his
interview Mr.. Sherman is represented as
saying:
Spain will lose Cuba. That seems to
mo 20 be certain. She cannot continue the
struggle. Already tho conflict has cost
her more than $500. 900, 900.
Her money Is gone and she can got no
more. She has reached the limit OF her
borrowing capacity. She cannot pay
back what she has already borrowed.
ihe only thing left for her to do Is to
repudiate her debts. We had to do that
after the Revolution.
Having repudiated them she can begin
anew, but she will have To begin without
Cuba. That country Is devastated; Ire
insurgents have been fighting with only
hope OF ultimate success as their reward.

then the conflict will stop.
'Spain Is in no condition TO wage war
anywhere. The burdens placed upon her
people to sustain the struggle for retain
ing Cuba nave been very heavy.
widespread discomfort will come
sooner or later within the Spanish king
dom.
stopping the struggle by withdrawing
her troops from Cuba and by repudiating
ner debts Is her Only way to recover.
Sooner or later she must do this. SO
far we have done nothing To arouse the
anger of the Spanish people.
"We have gone on minding our own
business blind to the distress of Cuba
and deaf to the pleadiDgs of our own pso-

DOUBLE MURDER.
Money Lender aud His Sister Killed.
Probably by Burglars.

North Adams, Mass, Aug IA horri-
bio doable murder was discovered in this
city today, when the bodies of Henry j.
Reed, money lender. and his sister,
Blanche NJ. Reed. were found In their
home on Webster avenue, they having
evidently been killed by burglars
A pisce of bed quilt had been forced
into the mans mouth as n gag and he
had evidently been slain in his bed.
The woman was i'm much the same con-
dition. She may have been shot, but that
can be determined only by the medical
examiner. As the body lay partly In
and partly out of the room, it appears as
il she had stepped out of bed on hearing
"a noise below stairs and was either killed
or rendered unconscious by blow before
she could investigate.
The affair has created the greatest ex-
citement here and the police are at work
upon the case In every direction. They
are inclined to believe that the only
motive in tho case was robbery, but it Is
believed by many that the mutilated con-
dition of the bodies indicates desire for
revenge on the part of the murderers.
MIR. Reed was we'll known In this vicin-
ity and was highly respected. He was
about As years of age. Tho woman was

LAW BROKEN.
Continued from Page I.

The police say that IL Is impossible TO
get evidence to convict these people, but
II the mayor would hold each captain
responsible for the work in his district,
and IL he did not close up the rum holes,
dismiss him, it is probable that the cap
tain would find some way ID close the
holes up sooner than TO lose his position.
The police department Is In the habit
Of putting new policemen on duty as
liquor spottetrs, and there Is no reason
why the older putrolmen, who are well
acquainted with everybody on their
beats, should not be the ones to get the
testimony, instead of the new and mex
perienced men.

just take peep into some OF tho drug

Shot at an Armenian
While Asleep.
Two Brothers Broke Into Lat
ter'S House at SeekOnk.
After Assault They Escaped and
Have Not Yet Been Caught.

The feud which has existed between the
Corbett family of Seekonk and farm
hand residing In a house beloE ging to the
Corbetts by tho name OF Gurgagas
Arzumanian, who is an Armenian, was
brought TO an exciting crisis shortly after
2 O'Clock this morning.
John and Joseph Corbett, sons Of John
Corbett entered the house of Arzumanian,
through broken window in the lower
story and proceeded upstairs to the room OF
the Armenian and one of the Corbetts
began firing revolver
THE FIRST SHOT.
The first shot awoke John DeVries a
Hollander, who was occupying an adJoin-
ing room with his wifo and child. DE
Vries jumped from his bed and rushed TO
Corbett fire two more shots at the
Armenian. One shot entered the fieshy
part of tho mans thigh on the inside and
passed through.
AS soon as the three shots had been
fired, Arzumanian seized pistol which no
had under his pillow, in anticipation of
trouble from the CorDetts, and fired shot
at them. The Corbetts ran from the
place and the Armenian reached through
the window and fired two moro shots.
DE Vries went to East Providence and
summoned DIR. Eddy who went TO Seekonk
and rendered the necessary surgical
assistance
WOUND SERIOUS.
The doctor says the wound is serious
one and he cannot tell as yet what the
result may be. 1t is possible blood poison
may set in.
The Corbetts have escaped and their
whereabouts Is not at present known.
Deputy Sheriff Cory of Taunton was
notified of the affair and will take steps
to secure the desperate men, but it Is
said that none of the local officers dare to
attempt an arrest
The scene OF the shooting Is about three
miles from the center of East Providence
and about one mile north from the Hop
kips stock farm on road some half
mile from the Taunton turnpike.
About a week ago John Corbett, Sr.,
who owns the house occupied by the
Armenian and who has been trying to
get him to vacate with some other persons
entered the Louise during the absence OF
the occupants and made u general smash
up of the furniture and crockery. but this
did not daunt the Armenian. Later some
ono killed large hog belonging to the
Armenian, cruelty cut another and stole
two mere.
The residents Of Seekonk think their
town would be \ good location for vigi'

CHAINLEss BICYCLES.
The Latest Wheel Reaches This Cit.
Today.

The Latest Wheel Reaches This City
Today.
Washington whcelmen will be greatly in
terested in the improved chainless bicycle
manufactured by the Pope Manufacturing
ington today. The machine arrived here
this morning and is of 1898 model.
The operation of the machine is with
beveled gears OH cog system. which, 1t is
claimed, will outlast the chain. One Of the
objects CT the invention is to provide IL
connection with the pedal shaft and driv-
| ing wheel of the bicycle a driving mechan-
connecting the pedal shaft and the driving
wheel with the side shaft will have fixed
bearings entirely independent of the side
| shaft. This will maintain a fixed operative
rela ton irrespective of any rnisaligEment
of the side shaft. The difficulties expert
| enced in the former geared bicycle, 1t is
| claimed. will be entirely obviated with this
arrangement.
The difference between the 1897 model
| and present is confined entirely to the driv-
ing mechanism to three sides of paral-
| telegram having the rear axle and the
| crank axle as its ends, and the shaft as one
| side. The invention, it is said, provides in
| connection with the gears adjacent to the
! pedal shaft flexible or non-rigid driving
| connection capable of rotating one set of
| gears from the other and adapted to have
a lateral and longitudinal, movement, there
\ by causing the same to automatically ad-
in the relative position Of the said gears.
| 1t is claimed that the 9present invention
| will revolutionize bicycles to certain ex-
| tent.
