UIRRE Is RELEASED
One of the Competitor Cretc Out Of tn
SDGuinrds' Clutches.

One of the Competitor Cretc Out Of the
Spaniards' Clutches.
WASHINGTON, d. c., April "a. George
Washington Aguirre, an American citizen,
was released from the Cabanas prison in
Cuba to-day, and Jose Cepero, another
American citizen, is to be set free from
prison at Santa Clara as soon as certain
legal formalities are complied with.
A telegram from Lee and a note from
Dupuy de LONE, the Spanish Minister,
informed the State Department of
Aguirre's good fortune. The young man
was captured with the Competitor crew
last July. Lee succeeded in getting the
case transferred to the civil courts, but he
was not tried. He was born in the United
States, but his surname made the Spanish
cautious in dealing with the requests of
this Government for his release, and this
caused delay. Aguirre was released on
condition he would leave Cuba.
Spanish agents have scented another
flibustering expedition. De LONE has
officially notified the State, Treasury, JUS
tice and Navy departments to watch it.
But all the officials concerned with the
suppression of filibustering don't know
what to do. The information furnished
is exceedingly indefinite. All the Span
ish Minister has been able to tell is that
an armed expedition Is about to start
from some place along the Atlantic coast,
between New York and Charleston. The
Minister'S suspicion points to both of
these cities. He also suspects PhiladeI-
phia. There is not enough naval vessels.
revenue cutters and Federal officers
available to patrol the coast for several
hundred miles. and the Government is
awaiting another tip from the Spanish en-
vow

WE'RE BOTH HfBDEKS SLAiNs
There Is Now DENIAL That One of the
Supposed Murdered Men Is
Yet Alive

WICHITA, KANs., April 24-The town
of Pauls valley, |. T., was startled re-
Gently by the sensational news that Jesse
Hidden, who with his cousin Charles,
was reported murdered in Arkansas about
year ago, was alive and had since done
time in prison at Leavenworth. Kansas.
The Hibdens were residents of Pauls
Valley, as was the cook named Jones,
who was tried for the murder and hanged.
Since the publication of the report, which
was given out by James Cain, now OF
Mason Valley. Arkansas, D. M. Spain of
White Bead, 1. T., uncle of Charles
Hidden, has denied the story throughout.
He declares that the Hibdens were mur-
dered and their bodies burned near Boom
vile. Arkansas, and that Jones was wear
ing Jesse Hibden's clothes when arreste
ana riding Charles saddle. He says the
house in which they camped was burned
and portions Of the skulls and other parts
of two bodies were found in the ashes.
He says that Jones had in his possession
stock belonging 10 Charles Hidden. James
Cain wrote letter on the same date
reitera.ing every statement previously
made concerning Jesse Hidden except
that he (Hlboen) is not now in Jail and
giving as his authority one L. B. Condit,
who was fellow prisoner with Hidden.
He says Hidden told Condit that himself
and Jones 1.-The man that was hanged)
had plotted to murder Charles and their
other partner that Hidden took the
money and left Jones the stock and left
Jones the murder to commit Hidden
starte back through the nation and was
arrested and tried at Muskogee for ped

ATLANTA, GA, April 24.-Harry A.
Cassin, young man of fine family and
heretofore of exemplary reputation, was
to-day discovered to be a defauiter to the
amount of $45, 900. He was cashier of the
Georgia Loan, Savings and Banking Com
pany. So implicit was tine confidence OF
the directors that he was permitted to
make loans without reporting until the
end of the wear. He availed himself OF
this TO invest the company's funds in pri-
vate enterprises. He has transferred per-

LONDON, ENG, April 24.-The annual
synod of the Presby terian church OF Eng.
land, at which an attack is to be made
upon Ian McLaren's alleged heresies,
opsns at Sunderland on Monday, and
there already prevails the nearest ap-
proach to excitement which can possibly
occur within such sedate body. petit
ton asking for an inquiry into Watson
heterodoxy has been printed and circu-
lated among the members. and lobbying
is in full swing for and against the erring
brother. The petition gives a chapter
and verse from McLaren's mind of the
Master" and his suggested creed from the
sermon On the mount.
The petitioners declare that "if such
statements are allowed to pass without
any dlsavowal or explanation on the part
of Watson or any notice of them on the
part OF the church the result will be most
disastrous to the spiritual life of the
church, and also eventually to its outward
progress and prosperity"
Watson, full OF fight, arrived at Suther-
land to-day, in readiness for the fray. 1t
is just possible that the battle may not
come off at this synod. The petition is
signed by certain ministers and elders,
but the rules seem to require that such
charges be made upon the responsibility
OF some subordinate church court, such as
session or presbytery. IF it does not
bear the Endorsement of such body the
synod may refuse to discuss it, and IN any
case the matter is not likely to come be-
fore the synod before Thursday, owing to
the pressure of routine business.

Greeks Go Home to Fight.

NEW YORK, n. Y, April 24-Three
hundred Greeks from this city and Chlca-

Among them was John Leotzakos, pro-
lessor of Greek in the Columbia Univer-
sity and Amherst College. This brave man
is scion of the greatest family of soldiers
and fighting men in Greece. His Spartan
ancestors have been warriors since long
before Lucian laughed the old gods of
Olympus out of credit. His father, Pc
tros, was q soldier. His uncle, John,
whose name he bears, was killed in Kyth-
nos with the Moraitini and Pericles reyo-
lutionists, who dethroned Otta in 1862.
