Washington, Dec. 2z.-United States Ap- praiser Wilbur r. Wakeman of New York, accompanied by George Storm. A. S. Krebbs, A. Cohen and Isaac Bernheimer, tobacco manufacturers, had an interview with Assistant Secretary Howel ltoday on the subject of the enforcement of the cus- toms law as to wrapper tobacco The dele gation, it is stated, agree with the assist ant secretary in the opinion that all wrap per tobacco, in whatever proportion it is mixed, with fller should pay the wrapper duty. They complain, however. that the law is not being strictly and impartially en- forced at some southern ports, and assert that thereby some of their competitors in the trade have an advantage over those who import their tobaccos at New York and other northern seaperts. where the law is strictly enforced. The statements made Sill be investigated.

TRIED TO FOOL TIE KEEPERS
Flank Barbaia, Another Prisoner Attempted Suicide But Failed -NcCa.Iam Succeed
 ed Beyond His Expectations.

New York, Dee. 1.-Two prisoners. Frank colored, attempted suicide at about the same time in Che penitentary at Caldwell N. J., today. McCaHum, who attempted suicide as joke, is dead. Barbain will re- cover. Barbain wtu has been i'll and de- spondent, hanged himself, but was discoy- cred by a keeper before life was extinct, and was resuscitated.
 When the excitement caused by Barbain's attempt to kill himself had subsded some- what. McCallum announced to his prison mates that he would play a joke on the keepers. A few moments later a convict in cell adjoining McCallums heard the latters cell door rattle, followed by a low groan.
 shout of warning brought the keepers to the scene. McCallum was found hang ing from the door. He had tied one end of neck, bent his knees under him and al- lowed his full weight to hang on the strap McCallum showed no signs of life when the keepers reached his side. though he had not been hanging more than a couple of minutes. The body was carried down stairs and a physician summoned. The physician worked hard over McCallum, but could not save his life. The doctor said the strap must have pressed the mans jugular vein in such way as to render him unconscious almost instantly. McCallum was serving a sixty days sentence for larceny, and was booked for release next Thursday.

New York, Dec. 27-The news received in this city today in a dispatch from Port Townsend, Wash, of the appointment of a receiver for the Novel; Gold Mining com pany and the Berners Bay Mining and Milling companies, came as a surprise to the stockholders. The president of the two companies, Thos. s. Novel;, of Boston, when seen here tonight, expressed himself as completely mystefied as to the reason for the assignment. The eastern officials of the two companies can only surmise that some disturbance that the local man. agement felt itself unable to deal with prompted application for a receivership.

DID SHE DIE FOR LOVE2
Nashville Woman Shoots Herself
 Through the Heart.
WAS UNDER A FALSE NAME
Took Morphine and Completed the Work With Revolver She Wled the Pistol
 to He- BoyD"

Union City, Tenn, Dec. 27.-Some time between the hours of p. m. Saturday and the same time Sunday Mrs. Lillian McEl- roy, of Nashville, committed suicide in the Brackin house in this city by shooting herself through the heart with a revolver The woman arrived in Union City on the Nashville train at o'clock Saturday. She registered as Mrs. L. E. Famlin, Mem phis," and was assigned to room No. 10.
 Mrs MeElroy did not appear in the din- ing room, and twenty-four hours after her
 arrival the door of her room was forced
 open. The woman lay dead on the bed
 She was attired in muslin night gown
 and wore black stockings. Her hair was
 twisted and neatly coiled at the back of
 her head Her hands were folded on her
 breast and a revolver lay on her stomach.
 Four chambers of the revolver contained cartridges and the fifth an empty shell,
 from which the fatal shot had been fired
 An empty box labeled morphine sul- phate. also lay on the table.
 The corpse was that of a woman appar-
 ently 45 years of age and weighed about
 l65 pounds.
 After taking the deadly drug the woman apparently pulled down her night robe and shot herself through the left breast, miss | ing the heart about two inches. Then she arranged her gown carefully around her | throat and placed the pistol on her body | just below her breast.
 This precision is proved by the fact that | there was not bullet hole through her | gown, while in her undershirt was a hole
 as large the palm of the hand which | had been made by the bullet and burning l powder
 Under her pillow was a photograph of a | man with the name CT O. Perkins, writ
 ten across it's face and also the words "this is my boy" On the back of the pho- l tograph was written Lillian McEroy. " evidently the name of the woman. busi-
 ness card was also under the pillow con-
 taining the address of T. o. Perkins. with Kirkpa trick. shoe dealer, Nashville. On this | card was written: ''I wish the weapon with which I end my life to be given to 1 T. O. Perkins"
 l As 1t was supposed that the suicide had l relatives in Nashville the chief of police al l that place was telegraphed to find them | if possible and ascertain what disposition l they wanted to be made of the body. Nc reply was received and the remains were | inferred this afternoon in the city ceme- tery.

RIVERA AT CADK.
Says Nothing But Independence Will Satisfy
 the Insurgents.

Madrid, Dec. 27-The insurgcnt chief Rivera has arrived at Cadiz from Cuba. He will be incarcerated in a fortress. In the course of an interview he said that nothing whatever would induce the Cubans to cease fighting until they obtained inde- pendence. He justified the killing of Lieut. Col. Ruiz, the Spanish peace emissary, as means of arriving at this end.
 Gen. Ruis Rivera, who succeeded Gen. Antonio Maceo, as commander of the in- surgent forces in Pinar del Rio, was wounded and captured on March 2S, of this year, in the hills near Cabezdas de Rio Honda, and was kept in prison from that time on, arrived at Cadiz today. The Spaniards intended to execute Rivera but strong representations were made in his behalf from the United States, and it was announced on Dec. 10 that he had been released from Cabanas fortress and had sailed the same day for Cadiz. his home.
 Rivera landed in Cuba from Spain in 1863. He had formerly been civil engineer at Barcelona, Spain. He was in Cuba dur ing the ten years war, and refused to sign the articles of peace at Sanjon. Later he left the island and occupied positions of trust at London, Madrid and Honduras Subsequently he removed to New York where his wife resided. returning to Cuba by invitations by the late Gen. Maceo, whom he succeeded when the latter was aSsassinatcd.

GREAT DISTRESS
 AMONG CUBANS

Is based upon the facts collected and pub lished recently by the United States treas ury department, exhibiting the great ex- pense to which the United States had been put by reason of it's efforts to patrol an enormous coast line in the pursuit of few hlibusters. and. the remarkable success of the government officials in stopping these expeditions, as oontrasted with the feeble efforts of the Spanish authorities to main tain a patrol around the island of Cuba All of these facts were included in MT Woodford's note, and while he put them in his own language in presenting them to the Spanish foreign office, it is said that the statements concern only events that have already been touched upon.

\. Smith is slfll here. but expects to be released from the. marine WAYS tonight. She has been blaok1eaded and has a speed wheel. She can eaisly outrun the. revenue cutter and even the cruiser Montgomery. CuhaRs here claim that the tugs Smith and Dewey were used as a blind to enable 0 flibustering epediuon of three tugs and a schooner to escape from Panta Gorda, Fla, on Friday last. The Smith has been under suspicion of fllbustering. and so it was arranged that she should follow the program of her last trip from Mobile. The tug Dewey was also in Pensacola under suspicion.
 First the smith left Pensacola for Mo- bile. The cruiser followed, and after sec ing her safe in this harbor went back to Pensacola. Then the Dewey left for Mo- bile, and the cruiser followed to Mobile again and waited outside, expecting that the Smith would attempt a trip. Meantime the expedition at Punta Gorda is said to have gotten under way successfully. The Smith is still under surveillance. It is proposed to take out her coal as soon as she comes off the ways to see if she has any arms or munitions of war hidden in hsr coal hold.
 - A suspicious fact is that on the arrival of the tug here on Friday a deputy sheriff went on board to see if Mayor McHugh, of Pensacola, who has disappeared under charges, was on board, and he found military man on board dressed in white duck and apparently of importance This man has gone, and no one will say who he Is.
