MO JOY FOR THE IRISH
Nationalist Membsrs of the Commons
Decide Not to Participate IN The
,IubIee ce/ebratIcH

LONDON, Eng. May 2S.-John Dillon,
leader of the anti-Parnellite section OF
the Irish parliamentary party, presided
to-day at largely attended meeting OF
Nationalist members OF the House OF
Commons. A manifesto was unanimously
adopted declaring the irish parliamentary
party unable to participate In the celebra-
tions in honor of the Queens long reign.
Ireland had no cause to rejoice in the
Queens reign. For sixty years the country
had been governed against its will under
a centralized autocratic system, though
the bonds of freedom had been widened
elsewhere in the empire. The manifesto
says misgovernment, famine and evic-
tions have driven millions of the Irish
from their homes. The population of
Ireland has been reduced half, while
Great Britain's population has doubled
during Victoria's reign. Even for the di-
minished number the Irish scale OF sub
sistence is inferior and their physical
condition has been impaired, while the
country has been loaded with ia xation
beyond its relative capacity.

said that the Porte does not want a
diplomatic representative of this country
in close touch and sympathy with the
Christian missionary element in the
Sultan's possessions, and who strongly
disapproves of the action of the Porte In
the Armenian massacres.
Moustapha Bey, Turkish Minister here,
has notified Secretary Sherman of the OBJ
lection of his Government to Angel. As
an intimation of that character puts an
end to the matter. Angel cannot go to
Constantinople in diplomatic capacity.
Every Government recognizes the right of
any other Government to refuse to receive
any Objectionable diplomatic representa-
tive.
The nited States has twice within re-
cent years had two ofits ENJOYS rejscte ed
by foreign countries. Kediey was OBJ
jectionable to Austria because his wife
was Hebrew, and ex-senator Henry w.
Blair after being nominated by harrison
Tor the Chinese mission and confirmed by
the Senate, was compelled to stay at
home on account OF personal objections
OF the Chinese Government because OF ut
terances uncomplimentary to China de-
livered by him in the Senate in a speech
on the exclusion bill.
The nomination of Dr.. Angel was con-
frmed by the Senate some time ago. He
paid Washington a visit shortly after his
appointment, and an interview obtained
with him while on his way here quoted
him with reference to the war between
Turkey ard Greece. This interview may
be one of the causes for the objec tion of
the Porte, as it praised the Greeks highly.
Angel came to Washington few days
ago, presumably to receive final instruc-
tions before leaving Tor Constantinople.
When Angel was nominated on April IA
it was said that he would be intrusied
with duties Of a special character. What
these duties were is not public property,
but it is limited that they related to repre-
sen,ations to be made about Armenian
massacres, and would probably result in
promise by the Pore of greater security
to Christians in the Sutan's domain.

said he is preparing TO leave the country.
The relations between the King and the
Cabinet are much strained. The general
situation is most serious.

How much more kingly would he have
been if he had gone to the Danish home

interesting Developments During
the Debate on Harbors and
Lighthouses.

LONDON, Enc, Nav 20.-There was a
sparse attendance in the House of Com
mons to-day when the debate on the ques-
ton of voting funds ior Irish harbors and
lighthouses was taken up. The discussion
proceeded quietly until John Z. Redmond,
Parnellite leader, suddenly interrupted
the debate and moved the discussion of
the Irish financial relations and griev-
ances in preference to other matters.
Redmond was repeatedly called 10 order.
but refused to deslst and finally Charles L.
Richie, president OF the Board of Trade,
moved that Redmond be suspended. The
motion created considerable excitement,
and the House was soon crowded with
memte S. Ritchie's motion was carried
223 to 81
Redmond left the floor and went into
the gallery as if to defy the House. The
Speaker, who alone has the power to
order person to withdraw from the pre-
cincts of the House, was not in the chair
at the time, but was sent for and as soon
as he appeared ordered Redmond to with
draw. Redmond complied.
The debate on the vote for Irish harbors
and lights was then resumed, but again
interrupted by John ]. Clancy, Parnellite
member for North Dublin County, who
insisted upon the discussion Of the same
questions which Redmond had sought to
have debated He was called to order.
but refused to obey the ruling of the
Deputy Speaker. He was then ordered
by the Deputy Speaker to withdraw, and
upon his refusal the sergeant-at- arms was
directed to use whatever force necessary
to compel Clancy to leave the floor.
Clancy then made his exit, being con-
Quoted to the door by the ssrgeant-at-
arms.
After the departure of Clancy another
atte pit was made to- continue the harbor
and light debate, when it became evident
that the Parnellites were bent upon re-
peating the procedure which led to the
wholesale suspension of ParneIl and his
followers on the night of February 3,
1881. No sooner had the debate been re-
sumed than William Redmond, Parnellite
member for East Clare, persisted in the
same line as pursued by Redmond and
Clancy and refused to Withdraw until the
chair summoned the sergeant-at-arms,
when he quietly LETT the House. The
younger Redmond was followed in his OBJ.

neilite member for ST. Patrick's division,

speech. The chairman warned him
against repetition :of his interruption,
and finding the warning had no effect
ordered him TO leave. Field obeyed. The
discussion of the harbor and light bill was
then resumed, the House settling down to

LEADERS MEET
IN THE FIELD
Forces of Weyler and
Gomez Have a Hot
Battle.
With All His Men, the Brutal
Cdptain-General is Badly
Beaten.
Twenty Thousand Spanish Soldiers
Try in Vain TO Capture the
Cuban Chief.

HAVANA, CUBA. May 28.-Details have
been received Of an engagement at La
Reforma, Sancti Spiritus, between the
Spaniards, commanded by Weyler in per-
son, and the Cubans under Gomez. The
battle was fought early last week and was
the result of Weyler's scheme to crush
Gomez by surrounding him with 10000
men. The plan failed and the battle was
reported here as an ordinary Spanish
victory without details. 1t is the first
time in the war that Gomez and WeyIer
have faced one another.
After passing 10 The west and entering
the province of Matanzas Gomez, in ac-
cordance with his usual tactics, proceeded
TO Santa Clara, where he has remained
several months circumyenting the projects
of many Spanish columns sent against
him. Weyler, with column of 5000 men,
marched against Gomez at La Reiorma.
and ordered two other Spanish columns
of 1000 men each to JOIN him at the west
ern end of that estate. Thus 5000 men
were to be added to the forces already
opera ting against Gomez, and which, to-
gether with those along Juncaro- Moron
:rochas made a total of 10000. Farther
men. According to his plans this second
army was TO prevent another advance by
Gomez into Matanzas province. Weyler
in this position thought the Cuban leader
would be forced to retire in the direction
OF the trocha, where his chances of escap-
ing would be slight.
Gomez placing his men in the best
strategic positions at La Reforma.
awaited Weyier, and for six hours held
him in check. Three times the Cubans
charged with macheres. and on the first
charge Weyer's LETT flank was completely
routed. Weyler's horse was wounded
three times. Gomez ordered the best shots
10 pursue the Spanish general, but the
latter never came 10 the front. Notwitn-
standing this fact be had narrow escape.
When two fresh Spanish columns came
TO aid Weyler Gomez retired to Central
Partake. while the Spanish abandoned the
field and returned 10 Sancti Spiritus.
The Spanish official reports say that
sixty-fve soldiers were killed and many
wounded. 1t Is alleged by the Spanish
here that the commander of the Cubans
was Brigadier Jose Gomez, not General
Maxlmo Gomez, and so the report of the
engagement failed to attract attention.
In they province of Matanzas Governor
Porcet prepared plan to m urder or cap
ture Dr.. Pedro Betancourt, the we'll
known Cuban general. A traitor named
AndricaiD was going TO JOIN the forces
OF Betancourt and either snoot the Cuban
leaier or lure HIM into bush Betan-
court knew OF the plot and ordered his
men to hang Andrican as soon as he
came into camp. He was promptly
hanged.

The Ex-Mcyor of E.mira Charged With
Grand Larceny for DecejvlEg an IN
sUr0nce COMPANY.


NEW YORK, NY. May 2S.-The Grand
Jury has indicted David G. Robinson.
ex-Mayor of Elmira and son of the late
Governor Lucius Robinson, on charge of
grand larceny in the first degree. The
complainant is the Mutual Life Insurance
Compan The specific amount involved
is $50, COO Assistant District Attorney
Lindsay stated the case as follows:
..Robnson was indicted on a charge of
obtaining by false pretenses from the Mu-
tual Lie $4,000 in August, 1892 He put
in an application TO the insurance COM
pany for a loan for that amount in the
name of Robert w. Bush, resident OF
Elmira. Robinson a, that time was attor-
ney for the Erie Railroad, and also acted
as the general agent tor the insurance
company in negotiating loans in the upper
part Of the State. 1t is alleged when
he filed the application for the $50, 600 loan
that he was really the cwner OF property
to value represented to be $4,000 but
really only $4,000. A few months ago fore
closure proceedings were brought and then
the value of the property came out"
Delaney Nicoll, counsel for the insur-
ance company, said:
"On representation that certain proper
ties were of greater value than they really
were Robinson secured pro baby $500, 900
altogether from the Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company. He made q settlement,
making a trans fer of all his property, but
the company recently learned of the
Elmira affair, in which an old man (Busn)
was induced to get into the scheme with
out knowing what he was doing, and then
it was decided to lay the matter before the
Grand Jury"
Robinson himself says the suit was
caused by the desperation of the insurance
people because OF litigation with him in
volving over 81, 100000.
