AupAcIous KIssANE.
TIE Rogue and Forger Was Typical
Soldier of Fortune,

TIE Rogue and Forger Was y Typical
Soldier of Fortune,
The hero OF the following story, Kis-
sane, had been a prominent business
man in Cincinnati. He was tried with
otheru and acquitted on the charge Of
burning TIE steamboat Martha Wash
ington to secure insurance, and after
ward was sent to the penitentiary for a
large bank forgery:
Into the Walker Nicaragua expedi-
tion. made Up for the most part of "meD
of strong character, tired Of the hum
drum of common life and ready for q
career which might bring them the
sweets of adventure or the rewards of
fame, Kissane now, on coming out of
the penitentiary, threw himself with all
the abandon Of his daring nature. He ar
rived at Nicaragua Feb. 1, 1856. Un-
der an assumed name be wgs soon ap-
pointed and commissioned assistant
commanding general, with the rank of
major, and ordered to take charge of the
commissariat Of the army. He showed
such ability that Walker scon promoted
him. For eight or nine months he had
she entire finances of the country in his
han,s, and but for his careful manage
mont the flibustering scheme, it is con-
cedcd, would have met an earlier de-
feat
When General Walker marched to
Rivas, he left Granada in charge Of
Kissane The latter made sudden sallies
on the neigaboring haciendas, and, cap.
turing the wives aud daughters of prom
inent Nicarasuans, held them as hos.
taees to be exchanged for money or pro-
visions. He is reputed to have made a
fortune in the sale Of cOnfiscated haoien-
das and vouchers Under his direction
cathcdrals and converts and private
dwellings were pillaged of gold, silver
ard jewels. The plunder, which filed
six large cedar chests, was melted,
packed in small bulk and shipped to
New Orleans. Robed in priestly vest
ments and carrying the holy eucharist,
Kissane led a triumphant procession
through the streets of Granada. His au-
dacity and bravery won him devoted
followers. Few, if any, Of his compan-
ions in arms suspected his early history
Nevertheless tho tropics did not shield
him wholly from memory of the past
Recognizing in one Of the youthful fol-
lowers Of the army the son of a man
who had testified against him in the
Martha Washington case, Kissane
had the young man arrested Oh some
trumped up charge and shot down in
cold blood.
At the collapse Of the expedition Kis-
sane caused to be published in the pa.
pers accounts Of the heroic death Of
himself under his new name. Mean
while he escaped from the country to
Panama On board the United States
sloop of war st. Mary's, Cnptuin Davis.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR IN CUBA.
WHY SANGUILY WAS FREED.
Because II Was Solicited in Friendly,
Confidential Way.

In publishing the royal decree pnrdoning
julio sangully the Madrid Gazette explains
that clemcncy was shown in this case because
the American Government Solicited the
liberty OF the convict In friendly, confidcn-
tial way and Sanguily solemnly promised
both Governments that he would not take
part In any hostile acts against Spain"
The decree sets forth that circumstances
have 80 changed since Sanguily's arrest us to
justify clemency.
FL lmparcial and many other newspapers
evincc great displeasure because Congress
and the American press exhibit hostility to
Spain. Fear is expressed that the advent Of
Mckinley will be seized as pretext for alter
ing the cordial relation existing under the
Cleveland-Olney regime. Premier Canovns
is still confident that he will be In position
to settle satisfactorily all foreign claims
The Government has cabled to Havana for
Information so rs to be able to reply TO three
American, two English and two French de-
mands all substantially alike. The cases are
OF long standing, and the Governments mem
toned want them settled promptly One
French case has been pending IA months. 1t

NEWS FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
ERDMAN BILL PASSED.
Small Opposition Makes the Author Conf
dent Of Senate succsss.i

1t doesn't often happen that the majority
party in the house of representatives accepts
and passes an important bill formulated by a
member Of the minority and bearing his
name But this Is what happened Friday,
when the Republican house passed almost
unanimously the arbitration bill written by
MIR. Erdman, of Pennsylvania, leading
member OF the Democratic minority.
Mr.. Erdman explained briefly the provis-
ions Of the bill stating that IL embodied prin-
ciples indorsed by the Republican and Demo-
crntic national platforms, and that II had the
hearty approval and support of all the ma
tional organizations OF railroad employees ns
well as that OF Carroll d. Wright. the United
States commissioner Of labor. He pointed
out that the measure merely provided for
the voluntary arbitration OF disputes arising
between the corporations engaged IN inter
state traffic and their employees, and did not
effect any other class OF workmen.
Practically the only open opposition came
from Judge Mcguire, of California, the single
tax advocate, who argued that striking rail-
road employees could not be seized by United
States officers and compelled to return and
continue In service against their desires.
The bill Is practically the same one which
Mr. Erdman put through the house in the
Fifty-third congress. He is hopeful that the
senate will pass II.

toms, and the following letter was then ad-
dressed TO that official:
IL hereby demand of you that you allow
the steam tug Dauntless TO proceed to sea
on her lawful business. We are willing to
make afildavits that we will not violate any
OF the laws OF the United States. viii you
kindly reply in writing whether you will or
will not allow said steamer to depart"
Receiving no reply Mr.. BisLee started
down the river on the Dauntless. The Vesu-
vius and Boutwell, both gave whistle signals
to the Dauntless to stop. As she was appar-
emily passing the cruiser without obeyiug, a
solid shot from one OF the rapid fire guns
was dropped in front OF the filibuster. The
Dauntless immediately stopped and was
boarded by the lieutenant Of the vesuvius
and ordered back to her dock. The owner
will now sue the commander OF the Vesuvius
for illegal detention. The yesuvius has been
ordered to leave Jacksonville and join the
Marbehead at KEY West.

TARIFF BILL DELAYED.
Dingley Won't Report His Bill Until the
Extra Session.

Chairman Dlngley OF the ways and means
committee will not be able to report to the
house the new tariff BILL which probably
will bear his name, before the beginning OF
the extra session of congress- to be called for
March 10. There would have been little to
be gained by reporting the bill to the house
In this session even II IL was possible, bt use
II would have to be re-introduced IN the
fifty-ilfth congress, but the Republican
members of the ways and means committee
will not be able to finish the hill before the
close OF this congress, They have been work
ing every day for several weeks on the BILL
but member said that they would be oblig-
ed to work very hard to finish their task by
the beginning of the extra session. The past
Few days have been spent by the tariff max
ers principally in shaping the language of
those schedules OF the bill In which they haye
agreed upon the rates. Several of the most
important features of the bill are yet practi-
cally unconsidered. These Include the wool,
cotton and sugar schedules, and the free
list. The first Of these promises to give the
most trouble because OF the failure OF the
wool growers and manufacturers to reach
any agreement on rates. In order to COM
plete the bill, the Republican members OF the
ways and means COMMITTEES will stay In
Washington after congress adjourns and de-
vote their time to the work. 1t is expected
that as soon rs the extra session meets Speak
er Reed, who will undoubtedly be reelected,
Will appoint the same members to the
ways and means committee who are now
serving and the bill will be reported to the
house.
