no children of his own, consulted his

HAVANA, Sept. 2l.-General Calixto
Garcia has announced his intention OF
driving the SpaDiards out OF eastern
Cuba. His latest movement was
against Manzanillo, one of the most
important seaports on the southern
coast. Twelve hundred rebels, under
command Of Brigsdier Salvador Rios,
appeared before that town and called
upon the garrison to surrender. In
reply the Spanish commander, Brig
adler Toral. sent ont column of men.
The rebels feigned retreat, and the
Spanish troops, encouraged by what
they thought cowardly fight,
pressed after the enemy. The fight
and pursuit lasted for two kilometers,
when, ut the estate of Tranquilisad,
the rebels turned, and with REINFORCE
ments that had been lying in ambush,
fell upon the Spanish rear. The
result was veritable slaughter. The
Spanish put their loss down at 1903
killed and sixty-nine wounded, but
other advices state that out of the
column only three men escaped to
return to Manzanillo The others
were killed, wounded or taken
prisoners.

rummaged the cupboard before he en-
tered. He then went with them to
Hinshaw's room, secured the trousers,
carried them out and searched them.
When he returned the victims were
awake and had engaged in a scufie
with Van Tassell and Whitney. Baney
ran outdoors to warn his chums in case
there was any one approaching the
house When he returned they had
fought down the steps and into the
road. Mrs. Hinshaw was just passing
across the porch when Van Tassell
turned and shot her dead. She fell
on the porch steps. He soon returned
to her, and finding her dead, exclaimed
to Whitney and Baney that the woman
was dead and told them to get away
ass soon as possible. They then re-
turned to indianapolis.
Hinshaw's attorney said:
I'VE went over the ground at Belle
VILE last night carefully, and what
Baney said in former statements does
not vary a hairs breadth from what he
said last night. He described minute.
ly the movements OF Hinshaw and his
wife, and of the men who went to the
home to rob it. He omitted nothing
and his story does not conflict mate
rally with that of Hinshaw."
According to the records all OF the
three burglars were not in Jail or the
penitentiary when the murder was
committed.

seeing the woman coming after them,
and just as she was on the porch step,
he fired to frighten her back, but the
ball struck her and she fell dead. Hin
shaw was cut by Van Tassel outside OF
the house across the road by the fence.

me, but l refused to take it, We all
three went to Chicago, returning to
Indianapolis the next week, where we
were arrested for larceny"
Noah Baney, who makes the confess
sion, and Guy Van Tassell, who Baney
says fired the shot that killed Mrs.
Hinshaw, were convicted Feb. 20, 1895,
for stealing a barrel of whisky, and
4 Kid Whitney was sentenced for bur-
glary Feb. II, 1896. Indianapolis is
the home Of the trio, and the police say
that they are all crooks Of dangerous
type Van Tassell denies Baney's
story vigorously, as also does Whit
ney.
Mr.. Parker, one of Hinshaw's attor-
neys, says that he has followed every
detail Of Baney's confession to the end,
and he finds that he is corroborated In
every point except as to one, and this
one has not yet been fully investigated.
He Is perfectly satisfied that Hinshaw
never killed his wife and hundreds Of
people IN Indiana are witt him in this
/ opinion (.

WASHINGTON, Sept. a0.-Section 20
If the Dingley act does not impose
discriminating duties upon goods
brought into the United States
through contiguous countries under
consular seal or upon goods imported
through ocean ports in foreign vessels
which are not specially exempted by
treaty. Attorney General McKenna is
of the opinion that, except as to goods
not the product Of contiguous coun-
try which are imported into the United
States directly from such contiguous
country, the language of TIE section is
not clear enough to make it certain
that congress intended to change the
previously existing law. He believes
that the verbiage is altogether too
vague to justify an Interpretation
changing in any way the law as con-
tanned in the revised statutes as far as
it affects imports through ocean ports
or through contiguous countries under
consular seal. This is the opinion of
the attorney general.

Hinshaw's attorney got from the
governor provisional pardon for Ba-
nsy for Ave days SO that he might be
taken from Indianapolis and over the
roads to Danville and Belleville to YER
ify his statements. Baney had declar-
ed repeatedly that II he were taken
over the road he could point out the
house where the two men stayed all
night, and could point out other de-
tails which would conclusively prove
his confession true.
He had an opportunity to do this,
and at the very outset broke complete
ly down and confessed that he had &C.
companied Van Tassell and Whitney
and had taken part in the burglary,
although he had nothing to do, he said,
with the killing.
Accompanied by prison guard and
his attorney, ]. o. Parker Of Danville
and w. D. Hart Of Winchester, Mrs.
Hinshaw's home before marriage, Ba-
ney was taken to Belleville, where he
drove directly to the Hinshaw home.
Here he described minutely every de-
tail, seemingly, that occurred upon the
night Of the tragedy. He showed the
spot where the horse and buggy were
left when the three men-Van Tassell,
Whitney and himself-went to the
house to commit burglary.
In the first room he showed where
the cupboard stood from which the
pistol and razor were taken by Van
Tassell and handed to him. In the
second room entered there was no bed,
but he said that there was one there
on the night of the murder, but unoc-
cupied, and he correctly showed just
where it had stood. He also showed
correctly just where Hinshaw's trou-
sers, razor and pocketbook had been
thrown and where they were found.
He said that Van Tassell and Whit
ney first entered the house and had

BURIED HIS MORTAL FOE.
How a Fly Disposed Of the Body of 4
Dead Spider.

Dead Spider.
Samuel Simon, Sr.. of Nashannock
township, Pennsylvania while strolling
near his home one day recently, no.
ticed fly about half an inch long and
of dark blue color. with slim body,
bearing a large dead spider. The fly
crossed his path and laid his load
down. It then went about eighteen
inches in another direction and COM
menced digging a hole in the ground.
His curiosity was excited, he stopped
and watched the work. After the fly
had the hole dug about half the length
Of himself he went to where he had left
the spider and took his dimensions.
After going back to the hole he found
it was not big enough and commenced
digging again.
After taking out quantity Of earth
he again went to the spider and took
his dimensions. He did this eight
times and as often enlarged the hole.
When the busy little fellow had the
hole too deep for him to throw the
earth clear out he would go on the
bank and force it back with his feet.
After he had the excavation large
enough for his purpose he went for the
spider and took 1t to the grave, for
such it proved to be, and dragged it
to the mouth Of the hole. After he
had the body in he covered 1t with
fine earth first and finished by placing
a small piece OF cinder on top. When
he had finished the work he flew away.
The whole time consumed was exactly
flfty-five minutes, as Mr.. Simon says
he sat and watched the whole per-
Torrance.

HENRY CLAY AT SIxTY-FlVE.

The Famous Kentucklan at the Time of
His Retirement from tho Senate.
In an article on when Henry Clay
Said Farewell to the Senate" on March
81, 1912, after thirty-six years in pub
lie life, John F. Coyle, in the Ladies'
Home Journal, presents this graphic
pen-picture of the Great Commoner,'
whose close friendship he enjoyed for
many years: "Mr. Clay Tin 1S42) was
sixty-five years old, at the very zenith
of his great popularity, the notable,
central figure in the arena of politics
and craftsmanship. More than six feet
tall, slender, erect, graceful and COM
handing, he was the personiticatlon
of dignity and noble bearing. He was
perfect master of the language, tone
and gesture, and possessed OF voice
remarkable for it's volume and range,
and its capacity to express every shade
Of feeling Of passion of the human
soul. Deep, full-toned and melodious,
it was indeed magical in its power of
controlling the feelings of those who
listened to its varying cadences and
exquisite modulations. An admiring
biographer adds to an analysis OF Mr..
Clay as an orator His mouth large
and prominent, upper lip working
quietly, or in agony, as occasions re-
quire; his eyes resting in calmness, or
beaming with lively emotion, or spark
ling with strong feeling, or flashing
with high passion like the thunderbolts
Of heaven in the darkness of storms;
his long arms hanging easy by his side,
or outstretched, or uplifted, or waving
with grace, or striking with the vehe-.
mence of passion, his fingers pointing
where his thoughts direct AS an ora
tor he drew upon his every resource to
charm alike the ear and eye, and was
PROFESSIONALLY the most fascinating
speaker of his day and generation"
