Circulation Statement.
WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, MAY 10.

If the house OF August Belmont q Co
and other like concerns have united n a
petition for intervention in Cuba, we
may confidently look for speedy action.
We are suspicious that it may take the
form OF an attempt 10 saddle the Spanish
Cuba n debt on the people ofthe island Tie
Belmonts are said to be ROths,'bilds by
descent and they are the American agents
and representatives of that great financial
dynasty. Their London, Paris and Frank
fort houses own most Of the Spanish
bonds If Cuba becomes free they VIII
lose, in principal and interest, not far fIom
$400, OO0 ,00O. The President and Secrc-
tary Sherman know that this is the reason
why Cleveland and Olnry treated The
struggling patriots with contemplated gave
Wcyler the free use of our Navy at an
enormous cost to the United States in
money, and sun greater in shame and
,ishonor. They know also that the same IL
nancial influence has prevented action since
the fourth Of March.

A Crime Similar TO the Flossie
Murphy Murder Attempted.

New York May 1.-TWO villainOus-
looking youngsters were held for trial ia
the Essex Market police court today On
charges Of robbery and assault with intent
to kill They attacked a wJetchej woman
Of the town named Fannie Vogel, last
night. having entered her room at No 81
Allen street. at her solicitation. They
tried to render her unconscious by means
of ether, and when she struggled, attacked
her with a knife.
The fact that knotted piece Of clothes
line, about five feet long, was found in the
pocket Of one of them, led TO the SUPPOSE
tion that perhaps they had something to
do with the recent murders of disso!ute
women, most Of which were accomplished
by strangling.
The prisoners are Henry Weiss, of East
Forty-fifth street, and James FitZsinl-
mons, OF 73 Bowery. In Weiss possession
were found a bottle half full of ether, and a
blood-stained knife and the knUtted rope.
FitZSmmons told the detectives that he
and Weiss had planned to Chlof9form
women and rob the II of Their money. Weiss
denied this.
The knotted rope is about the samclength
and thickness as that which was fouIui on
the neck of Diamond FIossie' Murphy
three weeks ago.
Detective Monohan said that the case
assembled that of FloSsie Murphy in many
respects, and hei working on the clew thus
furnished He does not believe that FitZ-
simmons had anything to do with the West
Twenty-fourth street murder, but is in
clined 10 think that it may have possibly
been committed by Weiss.
