And His Final Escape and Fine Treat
ment by the Spanish.
Though No New Crevasses Have
Appeared i'm the Mississippi Levees,
the Current in the River Still Beats
Against the Entertainments With
Such Force as to Cause the Gravest
Apprehension.

HAVANA, April 23.-Michael J. Kel-
ly, Philadelphia, who left Havana a
fortnight ago for the insurgent camp,
and was strung up on the charge of be-
ing spy, but finally managed to es-
cape, was interviewed on his arrival
here to-day He confirmed the adven-
ture, but was reticent when questioned
as to his reason for going to the insur-
gent camp. He denies, however, that
he had any understanding or contract
with the Cuban junta in New York.
He says that he went out from Ha-
vana, alone, and joined the insurgent
force as an electrician. After a few
days he was sent with a sergeant and
twelve men on an alleged mission to
meet Sylvester Scovel, who, the insur-
gents said, had just landed After the
party had gone a few leagues from the
camp the sergeant halted his men near
an old well, accused Kelly, so he says,
OF being a spy, stripped him absolutely
naked, shot him, and believing that he
was dead, put a rope around his neck
and hung him over the open Well The
rope broke and he fell forty feet The
water was up to his armpits They
then rode away, and at night he es-
capped from the we'll and walked several
miles to Spanish outpost, where he
presented himself. entirely naked, with
view of surrendering under the am
nesty decree.
When the commandant called out to
the guard to receive hin, Kelly was
frightened. He ran and was fired at
The Spanish started in pursuit, and he
was finally caught and taken into
camp.
The cCmmandant, on learning why
he ran off, and after hearing his story,
treated him, Kelly says, with all con-
sideration, gave him food and clothing,
furnishing him with a bed and kept
him comfortably until the order for his
release arrived.
Mr. Kelly's head was grazed in sew
eral places by bullets, his head and
eyes are burned with powder, and his
hair, formerly auburn, is now almost
white. He intends to return to the
United States next week.

BELIZE BOUNDARY DISPUTE.
Yucatan Citizens Pleased With the
Settlement of the Controversy.

CITY OF MEXICO, April 23.-The cit
liens of Yucatan are sending by wire
their thanks to President Diaz for the
final settlement of the Belize boundary
dispute, by means of the treaty just rat
flied.
Foreign Minister Mariscal, in a speech
during the recent session of the Congress
at which the treaty was ratified said
that the questions of the rights of Eng
land in Belize could not be discussed,
for the reason that that Power refused
to discuss them He added:
1t would have been impossible to
enter into a discussion except by a
means such as Venezuela .resorted to,
beginning by breaking off diplomatic
relations with the English Government
and sacrificing the immense advantages
of our credit in Europe, and ending by
falling under the tutelage of the United
States, which would make the treaty in
our name, and appoint arbitrator to act
for us as for Venezuela This is the
only thing possible, and at this sacri-
| flee we should not be sure that arbltra-
ton would go in our favor, as their
rights are clearer than ours, as they
claim actual possession, which is more
than we can do. The result of arbitra-
ton would be against Mexico, without
doubt, for on legal grounds Mexico has
no solid reasons for claiming sover-
eighty in Belize
The Minister declared to the Senate
that he had in his long diplomatic and
ministerial career never performed a
more ungrateful duty than that of sign
ing this treaty, but ones fulfillment of
duty cannot always be pleasant.
He added: 1.-The settlement of the
question might have been indefinitely
postponed, but it seemed best for the
interests that it be ended. The treaty
will put a stop to the illicit trade in
Mexican mahogany, and will prevent
Belize being made base of operations
of depredating Indians. Mexico recalls,
however, in 1916, when the Indians were
in Instruction, British colonists in Bel
| ize sold arms and ammunition to the
Indians who laid waste a great part of
Yucatan."
| The Minister characterized this as a
crime against humanity, and said this
undoubtedly tended to enhance enron
| eous ideas on the part of the Mexicans
regarding their territorial rights. The
publication of the Minister'S speech has
served to allay criticism.
