LUETGERT HAS HIS SAY.
VERY BITTER IN HIS DENUN-
CITATION OF POLICE.
Declares That He Is Innocent OF
Crime and Firmly Believes His
Wife Is Still Living.

CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-Adolph L. Luet-
gert this morning gave out his estimate
OF the case the prosecution mas MADE
against him. He swung his ponderous
body TO and fro as he talked OF police
these who testined against him. He
was bitter IN nus denunclat.on OF the
police and Professor Dorsey, the chief
astrological witness against him.
Il have kept quiet about what l
thought of the case that was being
made out against me during the trial,
because L thought by expressing my
opinion L might lnjure my case, SAID
Luetgert, but L viii now say tnat IN
nay opinion the case OF the State is
weak. 1t is built upon lies. Why,
Frank Odorafsky ana Frank Lewan-
dowsky, would swear anything. They
are liars, pure ana simple. Neither Of
them worked for me the week ending
May 1st All the evidence Odora1stNy
gave about what he saw at the fac
tory Saturday, May LIST, was manufae-
tured. l did try to make soap IN Lnat
vat. The soap washed out OF the vat,
and l gave UP the job. L had Intended
to hire three men TO scour the sausage
factory from top 10 bottom, and put it
in hrst-cIass shape to be sold.
THE police treated Mary Siemmer-
ing shamefully. They prosecuted and
bulldozed her, and threatened me. They
tried it on me when L was first placed
under arrest, but l stopped them in
short order They could not put me
tional rights, and informed Inspector
Setback that he Was not acting IN the
capacity OF a trial court, ana that L
old not have to answer any of his
questions. He dropped me then.
"F'ulbeck, who swore that Mary
Siemmering told him on May Sd that
Mrs. Luetgert was with his sister III
bed, is a base faIsiher That fellow
has not seen a sober day in years. DR..
Dorsey, the bone expert, is a very
fresh young man. He thinks he knows
all about bones. but, in my estimation,
DR.. Airport has forgotten more about
osteology than Dorsey ever knew.
"As l have often said before, l be-
lieve my wife is still alive. l should
not have been surprised if she should
have entered the courtroom any day
during the trial. She will be heard
from yet, and then all the people who
have lied about me Will be shown up
to the world in the proper light.
Il am an innocent man. My health
and happiness have been destroyed by
an unjust prosecution, and my fortune
has been swept away. To-day, verg ag
upon 90 years of age, l find myself al
most penniless, and in the deepest
trouble that 1 can have. L would have
liked to have told my story to the jury,
but my counsel thought it better that
remain off the witness stand. Reluct-
antly l followed their advice. That is
all 1 have to say at this time
States Attorney Deneen and Assist
ant States Attorney McEwan were

which they are to present to the jury

ORDERED DEPORTED.
A Decision of Important Bearing
Upon Incoming Chinese.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-Judge La
combe of the United States Circuit
Court has handed down a decision di-
recting the deportation of Chu All
Quin, young Chinese who came here
last summer, claiming to have been
born in San Francisco, and to be the
son Of Chu All Chung, a merchant in
Doyers street, this city.
After an examination before the
United States Commissioner he was
held for deportation. A writ of habeas
corpus was obtained from Judge La
combe, and the result of the argument
before him is the confirmation of the
Commissioners opinion.
This decision has important bearing
upon the cases of young Chinese who
have come into this country, claiming
it as their birthplace.

NEW YORK, Oct. "a special to the
Herald from Havana, Cuba, via Key
West, SAYS:
A large body of. Cuban rebels has
succeeded in forcing a passage through
the trocha in Camaguey. This invading
army which comes from the east, is
said to be commanded by General Ca
lixto Garcia. Other reports say Gen
eral Gomez, who a short time ago
crossed the trocha from the west, join
ed Garcia's forces in Camaguay, and
together they started westward.
The report that the Cuban forces
consist Of the Oriental Infantry. the
Camaguay Cavalry and three batteries
caused a stir here.
1t is reported that the Cubans flush
ed by their recent capture of Victoria
des las Lunas, where they seized 1,0OC
rifles and more than 100000 cartridges
two Krupp guns and 500 shells, will
carry the bulk of their army to the
western province.
SPAIN MUST ACT AT ONCE.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 9.-President
Mckinley and the Cabinet have thor
oughly discussed the Cuban question
in all it's phases, and it is the consensus
of opinion that the Sagasta Ministry
should inaugurate reforms in Cuba,
without waiting for action by the new
Cortes, which will not assemble before
March. Otherwise the Administration
viii be forced to act.
The advisability of providing protec-
tion for the American Consulate in Ha-
vana and the necessity of obtaining
from Senior Sagasta action in. Cuba
were the principal themes of discussion,
but other than the conclusion that
something should be done without de-
lay by Sagasta, there was no import
ant DEVELOPMENT.
The authorities are of the opinion
that Spain is simply following out her
usual policy of delay. They look with
suspicion even upon the change of min
istry which has occurred, but have
been somewhat reassured by the an
rouncement made by Senior Sagasta
that he will answer Minister Wood
ford's representations rendering the
good offices of the United States in
ample time for the Incorporation OF
his reply in the Presidents message, as
requested by the Minister.
WEYLER'S RECALL.
MADRID, Oct. 9.-The Cabinet to-
day held four hours session, during
which the decision previously arrived at
regarding the recall from Cuba of Cap
n-General Weyler was confirmed.
'.El Heraldo" makes the announce
ment that the Captain General of Porto
Rico will be appointed acting Governor
of Cuba pending the arrival of Marshal
Blanco.
In replying to a number of Cuban
Senators who had offered their support
to the Government, Premier Sagasta
said that the Government would devote
itself before all else to the pacification
of Cuba. and would then introduce in
the island a model administration. The
Government, the Premier added, con-
sidered that the pacification of Cuba
would facilitate the restoration of peace
in the Philippine Islands, where the sit

DROUGHT IN KANSAS.
Water Is Very Scarce and Pastures
Burned Up.

FORT SCOTT Kan), Oct. 9-In
Southeastern Kansas the drought that
has continued unbroken for over two
months is unprecedented. In Chero-
kee, Crawford and Montgomery Coun-
ties not half an irssh of rain has fallen
in three months. Farmers and stock
feeders have been compelled to drive
their stock to the river for water This
means drive each day of from three
to ten miles. Pastures are burned up,
and most of the stock is being fed. Ow-
ing to the scarcity of water on the
farms, it is almost impossible for a
traveller to get water for himself and
his stock. Nearly every farm gate
bears a sign reading: mo water here. y
The condition of the soil is such that
no plowing has been done, and the
acreage of winter wheat will be great
ly reduced.

in West Africa, France is apparently
preparing to swallow the kingdom of
Siam. The Times" organ of the
French office. enumerates the points in
difference with Siam in such a man
ner as to lead to the belief that the
French Government intends to force
Siam into vassalage, unless Great Brit
ain intervenes.
An American diplomat who has just
arrived here from Madrid says the con-
dition of Spain is even worse than the
correspondents depict. Whoever is
sent to Cuba, he adds, will attempt to
buy off the insurgent leaders. The
diplomat further says that the Spanish
Government is so hard pressed for
money that it is attempting to sell all
the ubIic lands and buildings that can
possibly be spared. Not only have the
soldiers been unpaid since last March
but the pension lists are in arrears.
All social intercourse between the
American Minister at Madrid and the
Spanish officials and the diplomatic
corps has been suspended for more
than a year. This was partly due to
the fact that Hannis Taylor, the former
United States Minister to Spain, was
persona non grata to most of the mem
bers of the diplomatic corps For
eighteen months Mr.. Taylor has not
been on speaking terms with the
French and Austrian ambassadors and
with the Papal Nuncio.
The rupture with the French Embas-
sador was because Mr.. Taylor protest

SHOULD ALL Be BRETHREN.
TENNYSON'S VIEWS OF ENG
LISH AND AMERICANS.
His Earnest Desire That the PAY snE
Country and It's OfshoOT snail
Ever Dwell in Unity.

LONDON, Oct 9.-(Copyright, 1897,
by the Associated Press. 1.-The past
week has been a. foretaste Of winter
with the frost and fogs. The majority
of the smart world remains in the
country, while the Duchess of York has
been the only member of the royal fam
lily in town. She has been an assiduous
visitor to the theaters.
The biography of the late Lord Ten
nyson, the Poet Laureate, which is at
tracing so much attention just now, is
contained in two thick volumes, full
of interest, and repeatedly emphasizes
the poets regard for the United States
and his earnest desire that the parent
country and it's offshoot shall ever
dwell in unity.
Writing to Longfellow, Tennyson
says: I'VE English and Americans
should all be brothers as none others
among nations can be- and some of us,
come what may, viii always be so, I
trust"
Tennyson's biographer writes that
Emerson, Whittier, Walt Whitman
Lowell and Oliver Wendell Holmes
We're counted among his friends, and
that through them he kept alive a spirit
of kinship with their cOuntrymen.
Americans, the biographer further says,
not only loaded him with appreciation,
but also loaded him with pipes.
Writing tc the Duke of Argyll in 1861
Tennyson says: Il am sorry [ did not
see the Marquis of Lorne but I'll call
for the calumet sent me by Longfellow.
1t is odd that Americans always send
me pipes and tobacco, as if 1 cared for
nothing else in the world, and their to-
bacco is not my tobacco, nor are their
pipes my pipes-birdseye and cutty be-
ing more to my fancy than the costlier
things. But, however. I DO not mean
to undervalue Longfellow's gift
Letters to and from the Queen are
full of interest. They occasionally
touch upon politics, but are more fre-
quently personal.
Writing to Tennyson regarding the
peerage conferred upon him, the Queen
said it was "a mark of my recognition
of the great service you have rendered
to literature, which has so great an in
fiuence upon the world at large" Her
majesty added: How 1 wish you could
suggest means for crushing the hor-
rible publications whose object is to
promote scandal and calumny which
they invent themselves
After a. visit to Queen Victoria, Ten
nyson wrote to her: During our con-
versation I felt a touch of that true
friendship which binds human beings
together, whether they be Kings or
cobblers"

MILLIONS FOR CHARITY.
DIR. Evans Will Aid Many Institu-
tions in America.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The announce
ment is made that DR.. Evans, the dem
tiSt whose wealth is variously esti-
mated at from S30,000,000 to $40, 000
600, will spend a part of that huge
fortune in creating and maintaining
educational institutions in different
cities of this country.
Dr. Evans left for Paris on the
French liner La Touraine, which sailed
for Havre to-day Accompanying him
were DR. Edward Crane his partner,
and Mrs. Crane. A host of nephews
and nieces saw him off. He has no chill
dren. DR.. Evans came here recently
with the remains of his wife, which
were inferred in Philadelphia 1t was
Dr. Evans first visit to this country
since 1876.
Dr. A. Balois, the attorney for Mr..
Evans, says that DIR. Evans wanted to
put the bulk of his money into chari-
table, educational and benevolent in
stitutions, after providing for his rela-
tives. He has always been an Arneri-
can, and wished to do as much good in
his own country as he can. One thing
he contemplates is to establish a great
dental university in Philadelphia. 1t
is to be an elaborate institution and
partly free.
While in the West DR.. Evans consult
ed Archbishop ireland, Governor
Clough of Minnesota, Bishop Whipple
of the Protestant Episcopal Church,
former Consul General to Paris Samuel
Z. Morse, who is now in Indianapolis,
and others as to institutions in that
mart of the country which he NAV aid.
He is also in communication with the
heads of different universities through
out this country as to their recon-
mendations.
From Mr.. Balois' remarks it was
gathered that Philadelphia, Minneap-
oils, st. Paul and possibly New York,
Cincinnati and Chicago were to be the
favored cities.

selves with weapons and ammunition
for that purpose.
They claim that the ranges which
have been depended upon for the win
ter feed for their cattle have been de-
vastated by theherds of sheep that have
been trailed through that territory
during the past three months on their
way to Nebraska They say that the
number aggregates between 10000 and
100000 head.
The cattlemen are very gloomy over
the prospects for feeding their cattle
during the coming winter. They insist
that, instead of driving the sheep over
land, they should be shipped by rail,
and thus prevent the destruction of the
cattle-grazing grounds.

CARS FINE YACHT.

An object Of keen interest to the in
habitants of the Danish capital is the
czar's new yacht Standard, which is
now lying in the ha"bOr of Copenhagen
in readiness to bring her imperial mas
ter from Kiel next week. With her
three huge masts and her two great
chimneys, harvest black hull, relieved
only by two lines of gold, and her
bows adorned with the tWo-hea1ed
eagle, his gilt wings spread for flight,
she looks more like some big liner
ready for trip to Bombay or New
York than any mere pleasure craft.
She has a total length of 425 feet and
her breadth Of beam is fifty feet. She
carries engines of 5000 horsepower,
and can at pinch steam tWenty-one
knots an hour Captain F'riedericI-,
who is in command, has under MIN
twenty officers and $50 men.
It is needless to say that the ac-
commodation for the car and czarina,
with their suites, is On a scale of unpar-
alleled magnifcance. The grand
saloon is a superb apartment, eighty
feet in length, twenty feet in breadth
and fourteen feet high, the walls being
hung and the furniture upholstered in
blue-gray morocco. Out Of this opens
a spacious draWing-room, with grand
piano and decorations of elaborate
marqueterie. For each of the imperial
couple and for the empress d0Wager
suites of three cabins are proViued, and
these arc fitted I'm as bedroom bath
room and bouioir, with simplicity, but
perfect elegance. Each of the grand
dukes and grand duchesses has two
apartments, and a saloon for private
dinner for the imperial family adjoins
these chambers. The vessel is lighted
by LOO incandescent lamps and space
has even been found for a chapel en-
riched with pictures il mosaic work.
