A Prominent Cuban Derides weyler's Statement of Modification and Tells
 of Serious Spanish Defeat.

Jacksonville, Fla. June 29.--A special from Tampa, Fla, 70 the Citizen seye: A letter dated on the the 25th, received here from Guiness, about thirty miles from Havana, by prominent Cuban, trea. Weylsr's specification" in the following sarcastic manner:
 This Is the headquarters of the in- surgents, whose camp ia about half a mile from the cey. and have witnessed much that reveals the pacification. The other day number of caTEs came out of The city loaded with ma: erial to build houses in the gore of the cultiva tion reserved for the 'rsconcentrados.' They had scarcely come out before they were cap tured by insurgents.
 Tn the same zone the insurgents cap turid the stage coming from San Jose de las Dagas. In the hills cf Del Grillo the official repor. tells of big figh ing What of this? We'll I know that there occur red.a severe fight, and the Spaniar rds got the worst of r.. losing one ii.utenani- colonel, one major. two captains and 15S privates, and all this happened this week in the paci!ied' province of Havana.

laid bare. Altogether Mark Hanna sent 10 Alabama through Cousin Osborne about $27 000 II is understood that considerable portion of this poodle fund was ocketed-"hogged" to employ the picturesque local expression-by some of those to whom it was handed. The smaller fry among the triggers" who were 10 be bought up received trifline sums.
 Youngiblood ct al. were promised con- trol of the patronage of the state. He was the first man to be rewarded by the president He was showed into the treas ury department as auditor for the .nterior department. He thus became an associ- ate of the secretary of she treasury, MT. Gage. Vaughn was promptly made United States attorney for the Northern district of Alabama.
 The nomination of Dr. Hughes for post master of Birmingham was sent to the senate about seven weeks ago. The un- saYory reputation of the man had pre- ceded him. notwithstanding President McKinley's indorsement and support.
 The average senate committee will stomach some pretty tough subjeets-as witness the swallowing of McCord, who has been elected by the president for the governorshp of Arzona-but the com mittee on post offices and post roads could not assimilate Hughes readily All attempts to obtain a favorable report have thus far failed. There are about seventy other postmasters hung up'' by the committee for investigation.
 Charges of disgraceful nature have been filed against Hughes. Recently a paper signed by the Baptist ministers of B.rmingha am and vicinity was received by the committee. The Rev. Dr. Gray and the Rev. Dr. Hale, distinguished in Ala bama, are among them. Hughes is de- scribed as & man of bad character unfit for the place he demands.
 Aoh 1n hen nf poodle quartet, is in Washington work ing for the consummation of the Hanna Osborne bargain. He has stated that if Hughes is not confirmed by the senate Hanna will see that he Is made postmas- ter after congress adjourns.
 MABSoN'S RECORD.
 Mabsohsis the advisor as to Alabama Ia oalss approved sy ifarna- He was receiver of public moneys in Alabama un der previous administration. He in- Volved his bondsmen in a large sum by his transactions. His disabilities will have to be removed before he can hold n Federal office Therefore, his only chance is in trafficking in negro delega- lions to national conventions and fixing patronage in the state under Hanna's auspices.
 Youngblood is openly charged with rep rssentirg John Sherman's interests when the latter was a presidential candidate and with subsequently selling out to AL ger at the national convention. He was involved In a scandal when postmaster at Union Springs, Ala Secretary Sher- man has always been bitter in his de- nunciation of Youngblood, but the ven crable statesman cuts no figure in the administration.
 The brutal policy of Mark Hanna is not deterred by sentiment, especially of the kind that influences men In the gentler walks of life.

NOW WHAT NEXT?
Police Step In to Save John L. From
 A Meeting Fitzsimmons.


 New York, June 2s.-Police Superin- tendent of Brooklyn said today: "Fitz- simmons and Sullivan cannot meet in a sparring match or exhibition at Ambrose Park or anywhere else in Brooklyn on July 5 F. sg ss34
 'sI have not been consulted in the mat ter, but the authorities have decided upon a course of action if an attempt Is made to give such an exhibition.
 T understand that Ambrose Park holds a theatrical license Under this license Fitzsimmons and Sullivan might give an illustrated lecture.
 They could show their knockout blows, swings, cross counters and upper cuts, but they would not be permitted to give an exhibition of sparring either sci entific of otherwise and they would have to be mighty careful in presenting their illustrated lecture
 People who go to the exhibition with the expectation of seeing a fight would be disappointed. I do not know whether the managers of the affair will go on making arrangements, but if they do there will be sufficient number of po- lice oh duty to insure the preservation of law and order"

THE RED MEN
Time 300 Bannocks Break Away From the Reservation.

Washington, June 29.-Three hundred Bannock Indians have broke away from the Fort Hall Indian reserva ton in Idaho and their actions have alarmed the set tiers in the adjoining territory. The news of the outbreak of the Indians from the reservation came today in dispatches from the governor of Idaho. He tele- gnaphed Secretary Bliss last night late and today wired urgent messages to Sen ator Heitfeld. Sena tors Heitfeld and Shoup immediately went to the interior department where they called attention to the situation, and the dispatches were also promptly forwarded to the secretary of war. Secretary Bliss took the tele- grams to the cabinet meeting, where they were discussed.
 A formal application was made to the secretary of war asking that orders be Issued for whatever military assistance may be needed to assist the agent, Lieut.. irwin in preserving orders and protect- ing lives and property of the settlers and Ito return the Indians to their reservation If they are absent therefrom as reported The agent was notified to make further E port
 The request of the Idaho people for troops to protect them from the Ban nocks did not reach the state department until rather late in the afternoon. Secre- tary Alger held consultation with some
 
 in just such Indian troubles as this and the conclusion reached was that the de- pertinent should take steps to learn for itself the exact situation in the troubled country Accordingly a telegram was sent to Brigadier General Coppnger at Omaha. Neb,, the headquarters of the de- pertinent of the Platte. in which the res efvat;on is included. instructing him to send one or more officers to the scene of trouble to ascertain and report upon the state of affairs there.
 The department has no doubt that the difficulty will be easily overcome. believ- ing that the. Indians are not out for any hostile purpose, but principally to gather some of the roots that are ripe about this time and of which they are fond.
 : These Indians are the ones who figured Tn the Jackson Hole affair some time ago ard had several skirmishes with the set tiers, A commission is now negotiating with them as we'll as with some other, tribes for cession of a part of the res ervation to the United States. The com mission has worked for many months but the Indians generally have been found not to favor the schemes and the commission work has not been success- full.

 Washington. June 27.-The disgraeeful patronage combination effected by Mark Hanna in the south has by TO means been confined to Louisiana. His agent, Cousin William Mckinley Osborne, pur- sued his operations in the line of buying up delegates elsewhere. He secured dele gates to the St. Louis convention froia Alabama by as questionable means as he used in employing Wimberly, Demas and Cohen in New Orleans in the winter of 1895.
 Alabama republicans were in a majori ty favorable to the selection of Speaker Reed. Hanna knew this, and he set to work to prevent Reed delegates from be- Ing chosen. He visited his winter resi- dence at Thomasville, Ga, and passed short time therc It was not entirely fo. his health, however.
 Some of the southern republican states men who wanted job soon appeared on the scene. Hanna had really gone south on a still hunt for the presidential nomi- nation of Major Mckinley.
 CAME TO SEE HANNA.
 Four Alabama republicans made a pill grimage to the Hanna residence They were William Yourg gblood, of Birming- ham; William Vaughn, also of Birming- ham; Dr. J. W. Hughes, of Birmingham, and A. Mabson, of Montgomery. Mabson is known in political circles in Alabama as Youngbloods Man Friday, while Hughes is Man Friday to William Vaughn. The political reputation of the quartet is not Of the best.
 The desire of Hanna were made known on the occasion of their visit to Thomas vile. Cousin William Mckinley Osborne. now consul-general at London, appeared on the sc4ne. Soon after this Youngblood was proclaimed the Mckinley agent for the state, and William Vaughn was his selection for chairman of the state com mittee.c. ne rfa
 Hughes did the fine work" in the Bir- mingham district, while Mabson per formed similar service in Montgomery and yicinityIfaf aethlse .f
 On his first visit to Alabama Cousin Osborne masqueraded as "Boston shoe drummer" He furnished to Youngblood the money required to turn the desires of the intelligent republicans from Thomas B. Reed to his own relative.
 To employ ehe phraseology used by Youngblood and his ilk, 1t was necessary to buy up the niggers.' Unfortunately, the buying up of niggers" constitutes. the frame work of southern republican politics. ga.
 REVELATIONS OF A LETTER.
 Osborne furnished to Youngblood dif- ferent sums of money to secure state con- vention delegates who would select Me- Kinley delegates to St. Louis. A letter which was sent to New Orleans in ex- pectation of the arrival there of Osborne fell into the hands of cersain individ- ual He did not hesitate to steam" the envelope to read the contents, to copy what he read, and then to seal the letter again.

Madrid, June 29.---The Correspondence of this city publishes an intervisw which it's New York correspondent claims to have had with Secretary Sherman. The latter is quoted as absolutely denying that the United States government Dro- posed to pursehase Cuba, and is said to have added:
 American feeling generally does not favor :he annexation of Cuba. The par tisans of such a policy form an unim- portant minority. A strong party, how evsr, supports the Americ9n annexation of Hawaii. The only question wia1 Spain is .he Ruiz indemnity, upon which this government insists"

This rate applies only to coal shipped from countries which do not impose a higher rate On American coal It therefore affects only Canada. the Canadian rate on American coal being the same.

An observing tourist who visits Rome and walks through the streets is doubt less surprised that there are very few houses bearing the ominous nunrBer 18, nearly all the houses that should bear those figures being marked 1Sb or 14a. Nor is the superstition re- garding the fateful 18 absent from sci- entiic and phlegmatio Germany, for the other day a merchant in Berlin ap- piled to the magistrate of the district to have the number of his shop changed from No 1S to No. 12b. The magis- trate, however, refused to grant the pc. tition. In Frankfort, on the other hand, the owners of buildings bearing No. IS are allowed to change the figures upon a simple application to the proper au- thorities. New York Tribune.

and finished with an appeal to the charity of his parishoners to remember him in their prayers. The words of praise and commendation found deep sympathy in the hearts of the listeners, many of whom were moved to tears during the discourse. At the close of the address a last op- portunity to view the remains was given. Nearly an hour ensued?before the line of people had passed the casket. The choir had been strengthened by several singers from among the visitors, and the singing of the Gregorian mass of requiem was very impressive. A trio composed of Miss Rose Roland, of Willimantic, so-
 prano; John J. Burke, of New York,
 tenor; and Andrew Outerson, of Windsor | Locks, basso, rendered the De Profundis. | During the viewing of the remains, Miss Jane Clark and chorus rendered, My

 Dying Christian to His Soul; ;" Mrs. D.J.
 Hanley sang, He'll Wipe the Tear from
 Every Eye" James Outerson, of Wind sor Locks, nephew of Father Lawlor,

 At one o'clock, the interment took
 place in the church yard, in front of the corner stone in the west tower. The pall-
 bearers were Revs. James Sheriden, of
 Naugatuck; Michael McKeon, of New
 Haven; Frank O'Keefe, of Jewett City i;
 Arthur O'Keefe, of Wauregan T. Coo ney, of Grosvenordale; J. D. Coyle, of
 New Haven; James Fitzsimmons of
 Dayville, and John Frederick, of Moosup. The last office was chanted as the casket
 was lowered into the grave, which was ! bricke d-lined, and hung with evergr' ens. Then the last prayers were said by Bishop Tierney. A handful of gravel was thrown
 into the grave by the bishop and each of
 the priests, and the last details were com
 pleted in beautiful service of love for
 one who richly deseI we'd it.
 Rev. Daniel Henry Lawlol was born in
 Windsor Locks, on May 3d, 1861. His
 father was Timothy Lawlor, and his mothers maiden name was Katherine
 Mooney. He attended the public schools of Windsor Locks until he was fifteen years old, when he went to St. Michaels college, Toronto, Canada, where he stud

After years pastorate in this , latter place, he was chosen to fill the va. cancy at St. Edwards, caused by the change of Rev. J. D. Coyle to New Ha. , ven.
