New York, Jan. IA special from
Key West, Fla. says: Reports of many
murders being committed almost daily
in Guanabacoa, only six miles from
the centre of Havana, continue to
come in.
letter received last night from a
leader of the Cuban Junta in Havana
says the half has not yet been told.
Sixteen bodies, those of 10 men, 4
lads and 2 girls, were discovered Sun
day, according to this correspondent.
in ravine not more than a mile
from Guanabacoa. In several cases the
bodies were nearly nude.
All these persons had been killed by
the machete and their bodies were hor-
ribly hacked. In some cases the trunk
alone remained, head. arms and legs
being cut off. Others the upper part
of the body was shockingly disfgured
seemingly from pure deviltry. The
arms and legs of others were cut off
only. as if the victims were killed by
inches, so to speak.
Some Cubans went out at midnight
and buried the remains.
The facts are known in Guanabacoa
but friends and relatives dare not say
a word about the atrocities, knowing
that a breath of suspicion would bring
down the vengeance of the Spanish
commandant, who is called "Weyler's
assistant butcher"
More than 40 people. men, women,
girls and boys, are missing from the
suburb and their families have given
up hope of ever seeing them alive.
It is the common impression that
the commandant will be assassinated
if opportunity offers, as his barbarity
has Infatuated those whom he has be-
reaVed.

IDAHO LEGISLATURE.
PERKINS CREATES A GENERAL
SURPRISE IN THE EoUSE.
In the Senate a Number of Import
ant Bills Are Introduced-A Gen
eral Reduction of Salaries Pro-
posed.
Special to The Herald0


Boise, Ida, Jan. TN the house.
today, an incident occurred that gave
evidence of the great fear that con-
sumes the Populists about the sena-
! torial contest. 1t came up over the
contested election cases, whereby it is
sought to unseat two Dubois men, both
silver Republicans. After a motion
to send for documentary evidence, bal
lot boxes, etc, had been defeated Per
kins, (Pop), jumped to his feet and
moved that all the contests be indefi-
niteIy postponed. The motion came
within an ace of carrying. and if it
had the contests would have been set
tied. The POpulists have been very
aggressive over the proposed removal
Of the Dubois men and Perkins motion
was a genuine surprise. Perkins said
the Populists had endeaVored to have
the cases fully ard fairly investigated.
but he would ratheT have the matter
settled at once by allowing the Dubois
men to retain their seats than to have
them remain under an indefinite ter
uTe. thus making it possible for the
welding of a goOd-SiZed club by an
other party. BY this he meant the
Democrats. the POpulists believing the
Democrats are influencing the silver
Republicans by reason of the contests.
In the senate . number of important
bills were introduced. One provides
for a reduction of salaries of state Off
GERS, fixing them as follows: Cover
nor. $1,000 year; secretary of state.
auditor, mining inspector superinten
dent of schools and state engineers.
81. 500 each; treasurer. $1,000; supreme
and district judges $4,000 each. Other
bills provide for the appointment of
county attorneys by the governor in
stead of district attorneys. to comply
with provisions of the recent constitu-
tiOnal amendment; to protect buffalo
and TO prevent employment of aliens on
public works

HAMMOND'S ENTRY
'FoREIGN EXCHANGE, $500, 900"
MAY BE CLEARED UP.

Chicago, Jan. Second Vice resi-
dent Hammond's much discussed en-
try of foreign exchange. 5000 OOO," may
be made clear in a remarkable man
ner That the entry was proper and
absolutely straightforward is also like
~ to be shown
A case now pending in the federal
courts apparently holds the key to the
mystery that descended as a shadow on
the Illinois National bank official who
took his life few days ago.
The case promises to be cleared up
by the recent discovery of some pa
pers which disappeared from the office
of Colonel w. Y. Jacobs long time
ago. Mr.. Jacobs has sued his former
bCokkeeper and confidential man for
an accounting Of money and papers
traced into his hands. but of which his
books show no record. F. SMILES of
Scme of the missing papers recently
found their way into print. and Mr..
Jacobs and his attorney hope by this
means TO clear UP some of the points
at issue.
In themselves the papers have no
value as they relate to transactions
dating back to 1898 and long since
closed. The papers relate to loans
early in the life of the Calumet Elec-
trio railroad, when Mr.. Jacobs was its
sole owner, and show that the National
Bank of Illinois instead of using its
own resources, borrowed the money for
Mr.. Jacobs abroad. Such transaction
involved nothing Legitimate on the
part of the bank until, as afterwards
developed when the bank was forced
to take control of the road, these
loans became larger than the national
banking law allowed.
Mr.. Hammond's entry of foreign ex-
change, $500, 0OO,' according to the
Jacobs case, was not, therefore, made
to conceal any improper transaction,
but was the proper entry to make con-
corning money advanced to the Calu-
met Electric. Money was to come from
abroad to cover the loan made, but
later. when the bank took charge of
the road, it was of course obliged to
assume the loan made earlier in the
life OF the corporation.
