DIR. AGRAMONTE FREE,
He and sninz Reach New YOrk-Their
Prison Experience.

| NEW YORK, November 27.-On board
the Ward-Line steamer Santiago, which
arrived to-day from Cuba, were DR..
Frank Agramonte and Thomas ]. Sainz.
who were recently liberated from the
MORO Castle prison, Santiago de Cuba.
| where they had been confined two years,
seven months, and one day. on fifteen
| different occasions they were called out
TO be shot, but In each case were re-
prieved.
Agramonte belonged TO the first So
called filibustering expedition that set
foot on Cuban soil. Leaving Port Limon.
Costa Rica, with General Maceo, he
reached Cuba on April 2, 1895. Ten days
later he was taken prisoner in the field.
Both men say they were brutally treat
ed by the governor Of the prison; that
their fare was Of the poorest kind, and
that they Were literally starved.
Or. Agramonte said that many Span
ish officers had admitted to him that
their cause was hopeless-completely
lost. He said that the hardships he had
undergone since leaving this city, Feb
ruary 2S 1895, were simply indescribable
The men in the expedition he described
as Of fine physique. The expedition cost
the least and had the most brilliant
results of all the expeditions set on foot.
He arrived at Costa Rica March 25th.
and another expedition started from Port
Limon with General Maceo and his band
on March 30th Of that year. In the
party. besides General Antonio Maceo
and Jose Maceo, were Generals Cebreco
and Flor Crombet. They reached Duaya,
Cuba, In a storm, and during a high tide.
The surf was unusually rough, and as
they let go their anchor the tide fioated
their vessel On the coast. That Is the
way the party landed at Duava. With
rifles in hand, they jumped ashore and
ran 10 dry ground. This was on April
I'd. Twelve days later Agramonte was
captured at Guantanamo Up to this
time there had been four fights, in the
first Of which one Spaniard was killed
and ten were wounded. The guide had
betrayed them, after receiving $3.50 for
his services. General Crombet died
April 10, 1895.
After his capture DIR. Agramonte was |
taken TO Felicida. Here the prisoners |
were brutally treated. Orders were |
givn that at the first appearance of the |
enemy the heads Of the prisoners should |
be cut off. They We're then taken to the |
MORO Castle prison at Santiago de Cuba.
There are still ten Cubans at the Sam |
tiago MORO Castle. among them Gene
raj Corona, aged 6, who, it is said. is
being killed step BY step.

THOUSANDS OF LIVES LOST.
TyphoOn fn the PhiIippines-FOur
Hundred Europeans Perish.

| SAN FRANCISCO. November 2Z.-The
| typhoon which swept over the Philippine
Islands on the 10th Of October was pro-
ductiye of one of the worst disasters that
| have visited the southern ocean in many
years. Thousands Of lives were lost, iu-
| Guiding many Europeans. and the damage
TO property was something appalling
Telegraphic advices concerning the ca
lamity have been very meagres The diff
cultes Of getting news from the islands
are great at any time, and, owing to the
remoteness of some of the provinces visit
ed by the hurricane, full details were
not received until the LIST OF November.
The steamer Gaelic, from the Orient
to-day. brought letters and papers, which
contain accounts of the ravages OF the
tidal wave and wind. Several towns were
swept and blown away. Fully 400 Euro
peans were drowned, and it is estimated
that 5000 natives persisted.
The hurricane struck the island at the
Bay Of Santa Paula, in the province of
Samar. 1t devastated the entire south
ern portion Of the island, and cut OF
communication with the rest of the world
for two days. On the 18th the hurricane
reached Leyte, and struck the capital OF
Tacloban with great fury. In less than
one half hour the town was a mass OF
ruins. The natives were panic-strucken.
and tried to make their way to clearings.
Four hundred of them were buried be-
meath the debris Of wrecked buildings.
and 12S corpses of Europeans were re-
covered from the ruins, when the native |
instituted a search for The |
dead.
Reports from the southern coast claim |
that a score of small! trading vessels and
two Sidney traders were blown ashore
and the crews drowned. The sea at Sa-
noa swept inland nearly mile, destroy
ng property valued at several million dol
airs. and causing wholesale deaths among
he natives.

AN AWFUL LYNCHING,
Negro Man Said to Have Been Burn
ed TO Death.

WILMINGTON, n. c.. November ~
On Thanksgiving-Day, Nathan Willis, a
colored man living, near Town creek,
Brunswick county was arrested on the
charge Of numbering a young white man
named stephens. Stephens was found in
the vicinity Of Wample, n. c., with a
gunshot wound in the back.
Thursday night a mob was raised by the
farmers in the county near the Wacca-
nav river. Wills was taken from the
sheriff, carried into the woods, and
chained between two pine-trees. Light
wood was then piled around him, and he
was burned to death, thus suffering an
awful death to pay the penalty for HIS
terrible crime.
Suspicion at once rested on the colored
man, who had been seen In neighboring
communities. wearing some of Stephens's
garments. He had also been seen driv-
ing the ox-cart in which the murdered
man was last seen alive, and s25 in money
was found on his person. that it was sup
posed he took from his victims pockets.
The officers carried Willis to Conway

OTTAWA, CAN, November H.-The re-
ply of the Canadian Government to the
proposition that the Canadians should
stop killing seals for year, beginning
January LIST. indicates that 1t is not pos

every British subject has right 10 en-
gage in pelagic sealing unless prohibited
by Imperial decree, which can only be is
sued by authority of the Imperial Parlia-
ment, and Parliament will not meet until
February.
The Canadian reply suggests that the
proposed joint commission be appointed
and meet at once when, upon conclusion
of negotiations upon the half dozen ques-
tons at issue, including the sealing ques-
ton, the necessary legislation could be
secured from the British Parliament, and
the suspension OF pelagic sealing go into
effect in the spring.
1t is authoritatively stated here that the
United States first proposed TO pay the
Canadian Government a lump sum or
money TO extinguish pelagic sealing, a

WASHINGTON, November 2.-Consul-
General Lee has made a report to the
Secretary OF State, in which he says there
are 1907 American citizens in Cuba de-

appropriated, Of which two drafts for
5000 each were drawn this month.

cradle time must elapse before the indi-
gents will be self-sustaining.

THE RAILROAD.
An Agreement Reached Which lnsuret the Early Completion Of the Gila Valley & Northern Railroad
 to Globe.

The SILVER BELT has :efrnined from publishing the many iailrond rumors current in Globe, and published m ter ritoriai newspapers, us they lacked au- identity. We are now convinced, how ever. from information at hand which we deem to be reliable, that the differ ences that have existed between Wm. Garland. president of the Gils Valley X NoIthern railroad and the Old Do miuion and United Globe copper com panies have been settled, and that the contract vii! be sigued within few weeks for the construction of the road, work to begin immediately and pushed to completion within six months there. after.
 N. h.. Ams.er, superintendent of the Continental mines, on Tuesday, received a letter from gentleman at Boston, who is intimate with the old Dominion Copper people. and who, had just had an interview with 0. F. Huntingdon, president of the Southern Pacific, stating that m agreement had been reached on the proposition to build to Globe, and that as soon as Mfr. Gnrlnud, who had heen telegraphed for, reached Boston and signed the papers coustrnc- ton work would be begun. As confirm Ing tlis report R. s. Maclay, agent of the Gila Valley & Northern railroad company ut Globe, has received letters from Mir. Garland in which he stated that matters looked encouraging for the building of the railroad and the early resumption of mining ut Globe.
 Superintendent Parnall of the Old Dominion Copper NJ. & S Co.,, also takes more hopeful view of the situu- ton aud expresses credence in the late favorable reports.
 A fact which more than anything else tends to convince us of the truth of these reports is that within the past few days thirty cars of railroad ties have been received at Geronimo, and information has come over the wire from that point that construction work on the road toward Globe would be be gun at an early date.

AN INTERESTING CASE.

When the court opened last Monday, there WAS on the calendar au indictment for murder against a number of Apache Indians, for the killing of other Apache Indians. Said indictment was returned by the last grand jury, and the parties not beiug in custody the case came over to this term for trial.
 On being arraigned the defendants paving no attorney, the court; at the request of the defendants, signified their desire to have Judge Rouse to represent them. The court appointed Judgo Rouse and Wiley E. Jones, the district attorney of Graham county, to represent the said defendants. On Tuesday counsel for defendants inter posed Q demurrer to the indictment on two grounds, viz: lst, that the indictment charged the defendants with the killing of two or more persons; 2ud, that the defendants are Indiaus aud the district court has no iurisdic- ton to try them. The demurrer was sustained and the matter was re-sub- mitted to the grand jury.
 It is the intention of Judge Rouse and Mr. Jones to take the case to the Supreme Court of the territory and to the Supreme Court of the United States if necessary. to the end that the case of Con shay.ee may be overrulsd and that the counties may be relieved of the expense of trying the Indians. It is generally understood that Judge Rouse, while on the bench, was op- posed to the prosecution and trial of Indians in the district court of the counties; that lie believed they should be tried in the United States court at the expense of the government.
 The judge now proposes us an attor- ney to take the case referred to to the court of last resort, if necessary, to se- cure judgment which will relieve the counties of the great expense in the prosecution of Indians. Mir. Jones will join the judge in the same effort, and the people should appreciate the work of thes, gentlemen and they should be suitably rewarded for their efforts in this matter.

PAYsoN POINTS.

Geo. J. Bouacker, of Psyson, who is serving as grand juror, favored ua with few items from his sccliun of the county. Higher prices and bet ter demand for cattle have placed the stockmsn in better circumstances. and the prospect for favorable winter season Is reassnrirg. The usual amount ef mining IS going on. The Mazatzel copper mines have again been bonded, and strong hopes are en- tertalned that the new deal will result in the sale of the property. r. L.. Childers, who has working bond on the Grand Prize mine. has been ship ping concentrates for the past two months, and the result has been so en- couraging as to suggest the feasibility of erecting smelter on the property, and My. Childers now has the propo- sition under consideration.
 August Pciper and E. J. Bonscker are building dance hall at Payson, 24x50 feet in dimensions, and to be completed before Christmas. AS the residents of Payson and vicinity are devoted to terpsicorean pleasure, it is expected that the new hall will be in demand.
 G. W. Bonacker has traded his cat tie and ranch near Payson to Mrs. Frank Bissig for property near San Lucas, Monterey county, Cal. Frank will now become cowpuncher.
 Frank Homesley, late of Tempe, while out on hunt with the Culcord boys, anG asleep iu his blankets on the morning of Nov. 8, was bitten on the uose hy hydrophobia skunk. He left the same day for Chicago to take the Pasteur treatment.
 The people of Upper Tonto who have heretofore freighted their sup plies from Flagstaff and Phoeuix are interested in the completion of the Gila Valley & Northern railroad, when they will transfer their business to Globe, which offers them mucE bet ter road over which to transport freight. Northern Gila county is rich in mines, cattle aud timber and with better transportation facilities will be- come prosperous section.
