Children Take Up Arms.
NEW YORK, n. V, Feb. IA Sun spe-
cial from Key West says: Dr.. William
Donnen and Arthur Thiethil, CORE
spondents of two Hamburg newspa-
pers, arrived here on Saturday from
Cuba, where they have been about two
months travelling all over the island. They
started from Hamburg about a year ago to
make a trip on foot around the world, and
they have been in Cuba in many places to
which the war has given an added in
terest.
In their opinion the situation is such
that Spain will be a bic 10 carry on the
war only as long as she can obtain money
to pay the troops; that after her monetary
resources are exhausted, which Is likely
TO occur very soon, the Spaniards will have
. to abandon the island.
The hatred against Spain is so intense
that not only the. men, but the Cuban
women and children are insurgents. The
concentration OF the country families in
towns, ordered by Weyler, is carried out
with great cruelty. The two correspond
.ents have seen many of these poor people
dying from starvation in some interior
towns after having suffered on their way
from the country all kinds of i'll treatment
from the Spanish soldiery.
The depredations committed by the
Spanish troops cannot be described.
Words cannot give an exact idea OF the
criminal extremes 10 which the Spanlarda
go and only eye witnesses can believe that
human nature is capable of such mon
strosities.
The Cubans, knowing this, never sur
render in battle, and when any of Them
falls wounded he will fight in despair on
the ground until the last moment rather
than risk the tortures his foes would be
sure TO infict upon him.

Dfscredifed at Berlin.


BERLIN, GERMANY, Feb. L.-Dispatches
have been received here from Bangkok
stating that Herr Kempermann, the Ger
man Minister to Siam, had been attacked
in the streets by a Siamese mob, who de-
fed the efforts of the police TO quell their
rioting.
An American engineer named Bennett,
the dispatches say, placed himself at the
head of the police and led them against
the mob, dispensing them, and rescued the
Minister. The Berlin semi-official papers
are rather skeptical as to the truth of the
dispatch, and assert that the German Min
lister TO Siam is absent from Bangok at the
present time.

Maggie Chambers Novel Attempt at
Suicide

Chattanooga, Tenn, Jan. 26.-Maggie
Chambers, % years old, the daughter
of an employee of the Chattanooga
Pipe works, is dying from injuries re-
ceived in remarkable attempt at sui
eide
Miss Chambers was engaged to be
married to Thomas Greenwood, a
young moulder. A few days ago, how
ever they quarreled over some trivial
matter and had not seen each other I'M
til yesterday. Young Greenwood called
at the girls home yesterday afternoon
and the original quarrel was resumed
Suddenly the girl declared that he had
broken her heart and she no longer
cared to live. Greenwood laughed
mockingly. The girl left the room and
returned with a lamp in her hand.
Again he laughed, and as he did so the
girl removed the burner and deliberate
ly poured the contents over her dress.
Before Greenwood could interfere she
quickly struck a match. and in an in
slant was literally enveloped in flames.
She ran toward Greenwood and clasped
him in her arms. Quickly pushing her
from him, he wrapped a rug about her
and struggled desperately to beat down
the flames, which had burned nearly
every stitch of the girls clothing.
Neighbors heard the cries of both, and
hurrying in, stiffed the flames. The
doctors say the girl cannot live. Green
wood, too, is severely burned about the
hands, arms and face, but not seri-

MILLING INTERESTS.
DISCUSSION BEFORE THE HOUSE
COMMITTEE.
Radical Changes in the Interstate
Commerce Law Should Be Made,
and at Once-Some Of the Evils
Now Existing.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce today gave a hearing to rep
resentatives from New York and of
the milling interests of the west upon
the house bill providing for an amend
ment to the third section of the inter-
state commerce law, which was sup
posed to require every railroad to give
equal facilities for the inter
change of traffic to every railroad con-
Meeting with it, but which, as the in
terstate commerce commission has re-
ported to congress, has for this pur-
pose been a dead letter. The bill I'M
der consideration was one which was
drawn and submitted to congress IN
1894 by the commission.
A G.. Stafford opened the discussion
and Mr.. Erastus Wyman followed by
the statement that the interstate COM
merce law as it existed permitted the
perpetuation of terminal charges in the
harbOr of New York greater than eX-
listed elsewhere in the world. By the
enactment of the amendment before
the committee to the interstate COM
merce law a belt railroad could inter-
cept in New Jersey the ten trunk lines
west of the Hudson river and convey
the products of the west to the Staten
island shore of the harbOr and thus
create within the city of New York
perfect union between the trunk lines
and storage and shipping without the
Intervention of ighterage. In other
words, the act enabled shippers like
those present. Mr.! Bradford c. Church
of Duluth and men like Mr.. Pillsbury,
the largest of freight originators. to
avail themselves of the cheapest ter
minals and to be freed from the para
sites which now lay in wait at every
terminal in the shape of a lighterage
attachment, generally owned by the
officers of the trunk line whose eX-
actions stripped both farmer and miller
of every vestige of profit.
Judge Patterson of Tennessee fol-
lowed Mr.. Wyman and said the Ques-
ton was not a local one affecting New
York alone, but was one of the broad
est character and could be applied e,
a thousand junction points all over the
country. He cited the case of the
Memphis & Little Rock railroad,
around which, like a coil of a serpent,
the Gould system prevented its prog
ress, and which the amendment would
relieve.
Tomorrow the case will be presented
to the senate committee on interstate
commerce.

The supreme court heard arguments
in two cases yesterday and took them
under advisement.
John r. Sawtelle, appellant VS.. North
American Loan and Building company,
defendant, respondent and cross ap-
pellant. In this case it appeared that
on April IS. 1892. Charles J. Humphreys
borrowed of the defendant $3.50 and
gave a mortgage on certain real estate
as security On April Is, Of the same
year, Humphreys conveyed the prop
erty to the plaintiff in this action, who
assumed the mortgage and paid inter-
est to April, 1895 and S357.20 on the
principal and on June l, 1895, rendered
the balance $500 which defendant re-
fused, whereupon plaintiff began this
action to compel the defendant to ac-
cept the money and release the mort
gage.
The defendant answering admitted
that the interest had been paid 10
April, 1895, but denied that $36l.2O had
been paid on the principal, but alleged
that only $1S3.60 had so been paid and
that the difference. $1S3.60, was paid as
subscription to stock in the defendant
company. Defendant prayed for fore
closure of mortgage on the ground OF
default in the interest.
Judgment was rendered by Judge
Rolapp, Diminishing plaintiffs complaint
and granting decree of foreclosure for
$685. from which the appeal was
taken.
The arguments were made by At
torney H. H Henderson for the APP
pellant and by Attorney a. e. Pratt
for the respondent.

Rival Administrators of the Mary
Cavanaugh Estate.

The cause of II. S. Laney, admins
traitor. VS.. J. B. Wardell ct al. was on
hearing yesterday before Judge Hiles
with Judge Ritchie and Attorney h. E.
Richie representing the plaintiff and
Judges Hardness and Mcdowell APP
pearing for the defendants.
The plaintiff sued as special admins
traitor of the estate of the late Mary
Cavanaugh, and alleged in the COM
plant that Mary Cavanaugh was the
beneficiary of an insurance policy IN

pany. upon the life of her mother,
Hannah Sheehan, for 1900. Mrs. Shee-
han died and Mrs. Cavanaugh in her
life time did not receive the money.

of the state of Utah and convert the
same to his own use.
Plaintiff prays for judgment that
the Penn Mutual Life Insurance COM
pany be required to bring into TINS
court the amount of the insurance pol
lev. and that Wardell be declared to
have no interest in the fund, and that
plaintiff have judgment against the
company for the amount.
For answer the Penn Insurance COM
pany alleged that Warden was the
duly appointed administrator OF the
estate of Mary Cavanaugh, and that
Mary Cavanaugh was a resident of
Pitkin county, Colo; that Wardell
brought suit against the company for
the amount of the policy, recovered
Judgment and the company paid him

Wardell in his answer alleged that
this court had no jurisdiction: that
Mary Cavanaugh was legal resident
of the state of Colorado, and that he
was properly appointed administrator
by the probate court of PitlHin county,
Colo.
