AGNEW INTERVIEWED.
He Talks About Coionet Lambs
Iynchburg Convention.

LYNCHBURG, VA, October T--(Spe-
cial.)-Mr. Park Agnew, chairman oi
the anti-Lamb faction of the Republican
party of the State, returned to-day from
a visit TO Washington and his home, In
Alexandria. Mr.. Agnew was out OF the
city when the Lamb convention was
held. having left here on last Saturday,
and states that he has been very busily
engaged ever since that time In re-
sponse to a question by your correspond
ent Mr.. Agnew said that he and his
friends did not think that the Lamb con-
vention should be given serious consi-
deration. -
..The convention" he declared, was
held without any authority whatever
and could have no more weight than
any ordinary mass-meeting. why con-
tinued Mr.. Agnew, anybody In any
Marty could call a meeting and make
Nominations, but the fact that this Is
done does not by any means give II the
necessary weight or authority. The Lamb
convention was something entirely out
side of the regular Republican party Or
eouization of the State, and 1t not only
Sas not been recognized, but l do not
think it ever will be-
"Haye you any idea as 10 the possible
strength Of the Lamb factlon IN the
state?' Mr.. Agnew was asked.
"That." he replied, ''is purely mat
tor of speculation. l have no accurate
H., formation on the subject, and would
not like to venture an opinion"

NO TROUBLE At HABANA.
General Lee Not Requested to Re-
turn at Once.


WASHINGTON. d. c., october 7.-(Spe-
clal)-The reported excitement prevailing
at Habana gave rise 10 rumor to-day
that Consul-General Lee had been order
ed or requested to return to his post in
that city with all possible speed En-
ouiry at the State Department, however,
resulted in ascertaining that there was
no foundation for the rumor. Indeed,
Mr.. Cridler. the Second Assistant Secre-
tary of state, said the departp ent had
no information Of any serious trouble,
either at Habana or at Madrid, ii is not
likely. therefore, that General Lee will
return to Habana before the expiration
of his thirty-day, or perhaps sixty-day,
leave of absence.
If is now more than probable that Gene
raj Lee will be asked TO remain at his
post for an indefinitely long period. Ex-
Congressman Aldrich, of Illinois. who was
slated TO succeed him, has declined the
mission. 1t is authoritatively stated that
a private letter was received here from
this gentleman few days ago. in which
he said that owing to his recent bereave-
ment, in the death f-his wife, he had
decided to retire from public life, and
that he had notified the State Depart
ment that he could not accept the consul
generalship at Habana.
Mr.. Aldrich is q wealthy man, is a
close intimate and particular friend of
Speaker Reeds. and conducted the presi-
DENTAL campaign of the Speaker last
year, and it was at the request of Mr..
Reed that Mr. Aldrich was slated for
Habana.
1t is clear, therefore, that General Lee
will remain in Habana for considerable
length of time after his return there, as,
II a change is made, II will take the
President some time to find a man who
can be trusted with the responsibility of
the important post of Consul-General

the Democratic party In that section.
His exposure OF the methods employed
by the Sugar Trust TO influence legisla-
ton while the sugar schedule OF the
Dingley bill was ip course of prepara-
ton was particularly complete and con-
vincing. and appeared to make strong
impression. The Senator paid glowing
tributes to the Democratic State nomi-
nees, and spoke in most complimentary
terms Of the Democratic legislative
standard-bearer for the county. Senator
Martins speech was an able and busi-
Eesslike statement of the position OF
the Democratic party upon the issues
Of the day.
At the conclusion OF Mr.. Martins re-
marks Hon. II. X. Lasslter was called
upon. The Fourth District chairman re-
sponded I'm a most happy manner, and
during the delivery of his brief speech
took occasion TO testify TO the splendid
fighting qualities OF the Sussex Democ-
racy. and said he fully expected to hear
good news from the county on Novem-
Der ID.
Judge II. W. Arnold, Republican can
didate for the Senate. delivered a speech
to some OF the faithful In the court
room prior to the opening of the Demo-
cratic meeting. while Knox, the negro
nominee for the House. harangued the
colored brethren on the court-green.
Senator Martin was accompanied to Sus-
sex by Major f. II. Lassiter. Hon. John
y. Evans, and Mr.. Charles b. Mann.

nan DAY FOR LUETGERT.
Evidence of Two of His Chief Wit
uesses Almost Destroyed.

CHICAGO, October lone more day Of
evidence and then the finish OF the Luet-
CERT murder trial will be In sight The
state announced to-day that it has but
few more witnesses, and that Ii would
oct through with them without much de-
Law tomorrow. An adjournment will
then be taken until Monday, when the
defence will offer a small amount of sur
rebuttai evidence, and then the way will
he clear for the arguments of the attor-
news. which will take about one week.
II was a bad day for the defence. The
evidence of two of their chief witnesses
was almost destroyed Mary Siemmer-
ing and William Charles, Leutgerts
business partner. were the sufferers. Wit
ness after witness came upon the stand
and swore that when Mary Siemmering
had denied that she had admitted i'm
proper relations with Leutgert. she had
not told the truth. They said she had
admitted 1t, and in the most unequivocal
manner. Most OF these witnesses were
members OF the grand jury which had
indicted Luetgert. and their evidence was
crushing. They all told the same story
and the most desperate efforts OF the de-
fence could not shake one OF them.
Prominent businessmen, who had deal
,ngs with Charles, and bankers, with
whom he had done business. swore that
he could not be believed under oath, and
told of shady business transactions OF
which no had been guilty. In this case.
as i'm that Of Mary SIemmering. the de-
fence made frantic efforts to save the
character of their witness. but were not
able to accomplish anything. -

Cossio Clsneros, heroine of the sensa-

nor of the Isle Of Pines. has escaped from
the Casa de Rocogidas (house of correc-

several months on a charge of conspiracy
against the crown of Spain and of an at
tempt upon the life of Governor Berez'
Governor of the Isle Of Pines.
According to the statements OF the
iailers or attendants, she made her es-
cane some time last night. AT this morn
ing's roll-call she was missing, and wnen
search was made for her the attendants
found that one of the iron bars Of the
room in which she had been confined had
been filed and bent outward. The pai
could never have been moved except by
a great outlay Of strength, and all the
circumstances go TO prove the co-opera-

free. for August was Sfe .Sis.3 3i2 OF which
siS, 629,6C7 were free. These figures show
decrease OF about 100000 below
those OF 1896 The decrease was due 10
a heavy reduction In the importation OF
