SPANISH OFFICERS MoBBED.

New York, March "A sensational
story reached this city today on the Ward

who were there buying mules for the use
OF the Spanish army in Cuba Here is the
story:
In all the Spanish cities OF the Mexican
coast there are colonies OF Cuban refugees
The tales of these unfortunates about
Spanish cruelties in Cuba have reused the
laggard MeXicans to great state of in
dignation against the Spaniards Just
before the Yucatan left Vera Cruz five
Spanish officers from Havana reached
there. They came to purchase horses and
mules for the Spanish troops in Cuba
While III the public market several little
Mexican boys greeted the spaniards with
yels OF derision.
One OF the latter, a man nearly six feet
tall brutally kicked one little fellow. In
nediateiy the market place was in an up
roar and the MeXicans drew their ma

several hundred indignant citizens be-

the popuiace would overpower them and
get possession of the Spaniards, called out

Of the Vera Cruz station TO keep the angry
citizens in check.
All night long the Mexicans hung around
the prison, and the next mo ming the Span

The YUcatan also brings news from Pro-
greso, TaInpico and other coast towns in
Mexico OF the great jubilation among the
CubanS and Meyicans there at the an
nouncement of Consul General Lees request
for warships in Havana harbor. The
Mexicans are becoming more III sympathy

Mr.. CuIlom's Retirement.

The unusually well-nformed correspon-
declares that Senator Cullom during a visit
to the White House the other day, as
sured Mr. Mckinley that if the President
were a candidate for another nomination.
he, Cullom, would not stand in the way.
1t is related further that Mr.. Cullon on
sidered it no more than fair TO say to his
friends in Illinois, whom he was about
to recommend for office, as well as to Mr..
Mckinley him self, that he 81 ouId take no
pains to conceal this fact. Mr.. Cullom is
said to have added that he should wish
to be understood as supporting The pres
ent Administration in every way.
The country VIII breathe easier after
this If our memory serves us correctly,
Mt. Cullom was candidate for the Bepub-
lican nomination for the Presidency on one
occasion, and he was a strong candidate,
coming from Illinois, resembling Lin coin,
10th in face and figure, and frank ky ad-
uniting that he wanted it very bad. But
Mr. Culiom is done with all this aspiring,
OF, as we might almost say, with all this
perspiring to aspire. He goes TO MI.
Mckinley like man, and tells him that his
Recommendations of Illinois friends are
made solely for the public good-that is,
for the support of the present Adm;nistra-
ton. He repeats this comforting assur-
ance, and it puts Mr.. Mckinley and SEN
ator Cullom on fine war footing, so that
each can fight for the other
Frankness in politics is much to be COM
mended.

Cloture in the Senate.

Propositions emanating from the ven
erable but still fertile brain of Senator
Hear OF Massachusetts are entitled to
close scrutiny, where they are not sub
Iect to suspicion. 1t may be true, how
ever, result OF scientific advance
ment and the Iabors of the late Secre-
tary Of Agriculture, that figs sometimes
grow on thistles; and hence we are even
prepared to grant that tie senior sena-
Tor from the Bay State may occasionally
have something within him which, upon
ventilation and exposition, viii be found
of interest to his country.
At is just possible that his sudden and
pei haps alarming conversion from the
time-honored doctrine OF dreary and un-
limited debate il the Senate, and his
consequent proposal TO have some form
of cl"ture adopted by that body, may
he worth favorable consideration, at least
as TO the principle involved.
As long as the Senate OF the United
states shall be confined Approximately to
Its present membership, there is little
danger that the measures before it will
NOT have the chance OF reasonable and
thorough debate. II that be conceded, it
ought to be plain that there should be
some conceivable point at which de-
The purpose of the Senate is legislation,
anl debate is an incident to that pur-
pose. In the past the incident has been
deified in the religion Of the chamber
and the greater thing relegated to the
cIoakrnom with the OLD slippers and
empty bottles, only TO be dug out and
produced by unanimous consent.
This is all wrong and has grown to
the proportions OF an abuse and scan
dsl. We have seen half a dozen Senators,
with the love OF oincy and the fear of
Cleveland mantling their checks, stand up
and defy a round majority to pass the
Cuban resolutions. We have seen i'm
portant measures, demanded by a power
ful and intelligent public sentiment, killed
at blow by the threat of two or three
Itstesmen of notorious staying powers,
that they would talk them to death if
debate were forced: and we honestly be-
Iieye that the time has come to call a
halt
Ia view of these and other facts and
Considerations, if the proposition OF Sena-
tor Hoar, or any other pertinent PROPOSE
ton. will open the way to an arrange
ment that shall secure action after pre-
iimil.ary discussion, adequate to under
standing and sufficiently prolonged to
protect minority rights. but no more than
that, we are heartily for it. As a body

more Americanism.

HER FOURTH HUSBAND.
Mrs. Craigen Declares She Is Lucky
to Have Gotten Him.

Orange, n. j., March 11.-Mrs Mamie
Estelle McGee, daughter of the late
Benjamin Calhoun Buckley, at one time
chancellor OF the State Of Missouri, was
married on February 4, in New York
CITY, TO Capt. John K. Craigen. The mar
rage was not announced until yesterday
Mrs. CTaigen is a godchild OF member of
Grover Cleyeland's first Cabinet, and her
acquaintance among public men in Wash
ington is extensive.
Early in January Chancellor McGilI. of
New Jersey, annulIed the marriage of
Nancy Estelle MCGEE, falsely called
the chancellor wrote, Nancy EsteIle Fell
to Capt. John j. Fell, resident of Orange.
The ground for annulment OF this mar
riage was the discovery that Ii was
solemnized two days before the bride had
been divorced from John @. McGee, who
is said to be a mounted policeman in
New York city.
AT the time OF the annulment Capt. Fell
professed to be entirely ignorant of the
proceedings, and even after the filing Of
the chancellor's decree he lived in the
same house with his former wife, at No
54 Essex avenue, Orange. They appeared
on good terms.
Mrs. Craigen was first married to George
NJ. Munro, of Annapolis, by whom she had
a daughter, now in her teens. After being
divorced from Munro she was married to
McGee. She contends that she never lived
with him, and soon after this marriage
she met Capt. Fell at her home in Virginia
and they were soon married. A boy, who
is now four years old, was born to the
Fels and slIving at the Orange residence.
Although there have been rumOrs of her
marriage to Capt. CTaigen, it was not until
the record was filed in the bureau of vital
statistics in New York that the facts came
to light. The records show that the mar
riage was soleInnized on February 4, by
the Rev. W. T. Bush, pastor OF the Forty
fourth Street Methodist Church, whose resi-
dence is at 463 West Forty fourth street
The bridegroom gave his name as John
Ramsey Craigen, his age as thirty-six. and
declared that he was widower and the
son of james and Helen Mason Craigen.
The bride gave her age as thirty, a nd stated
that the marriage was her second one. Mrs
Joseph Coonan, of New York, and William
H Conover, Newark awyer. were the wit
nesseS.

Two weeks ago a young girl, related by
nativity TO the French eagle, was arrested
as suspect in Santiago de Cuba, and kept
'inoonm unicado'' for the cruel but Gus
tomary seventy-two hours. The French
consul demanded her immediate trial or
release 1t was refused. Two days later
a small French gunboat steamed into port,
ana its commander accompanied the con-
Sui to renew the demand which this time
was for unconditional release, the with
drawal Of all charges, apology for the out
rage, acknowledgement of a reasonable
claim for damages, and a royal salute for
the French flag.
The consul and the naval officer cour-
teously allowed the Spanish authorities
six hours in which to do all these things,
the gtnboat cleared for action and awaited
results. The spaniards, however, only re-
puired half the time to carry out the entire

shortly after midnight this morning in

returning to the hotel when a thief, pur-
sued by several policemen and Pinkerton

shots were fired at the fleeing burglar by
the officers in pursuit, and Ziemer was
in range OF the bullets. Two of the Ieaden
missiles struck Mr.. Ziemer. and he fell
