oHA MELTON WHIPPED IN PRISON
Said by One Who onsh. to Know
That He Was Cruelty


st. Augustine, Fla. May 12.-It is
stated here, or what is thought to be
h best authority, that Ona Melton,
the correspondent, and who was cap
tured in the Ill fated schooner Compel
ttor expedition, has been treated cruel
ly n brutally by the Spanish officials
in Cabanas prison. The information
comes from a prominent Cuban refugee
here, who received it from his CORE
spondent in Havana, an officer in that
prison. On this account no names a
be given.
The report states thai after Melton
made his appeal to Lee, sending him a
secret letter through the prison under
ground railway" he was tied up by the
prison officials ana cruelty beaten. This
was done not only once, but several
times. This was at the time when Lee
had little influence with the Spanish
government. Melton was threatened
that if he said anything of the matter
he would be treated in such a way that
he would suddenly die" as did DR..
Ruiz.
Melton, for fear of his life, has not
dared to make complaint to anyone.
Since the new administration, however,
he has been treated royalty, in COMPARE
son to his former treatment. He has a
large and better cell and has privileges
that We're refused him before. These
were given, so the Havana officer in
Forms his st. Augustine correspondent,
when Melton promised IN his honor
that he would not say anything regard
Ing his former brutal treatment.
1t is understood here that the matter
has been laid before General Lee by
Melton's friends, and that a quiet inves-
.igation is being carried out at Havana
to establish the truth of the matter. 1t
has occasioned much excitement here
among the Americans and in the Cuban
colony.

Key West, Fla, May 12.-News from
Havana a y the greatest excitement
a caused in that city Friday night
py an outbreak of musketry fire in the
suburbs hat was sharp INC prolonged.
1t was learned that a serious attack

Spanish outposts.
The details of the fighting are said
to have been suppressed by the author
ties, but from the fact that several bat
talions We're hurried from the city to
support the troops at the point at
tackled it is believed that the force Of
he insurgents was very strong.
1t is also said that before daybreak a
number of wounded soldiers We're
brought back to Havana. The attack of
the insurgents was repulsed, but the
fact that they actually advanced within
the suburbs of the city and that heavy

NEGOTIATIONS COMMENCE TODAY
Greece Has Virtually Consented to
Follow the Advice of the
Powers,

Athens, May 12.-It vas announced
last night that, at the formal request Of
Greece, the powers will today begin ne
gotiations looking to n settlement of the
war.
The conditions insisted upon by Ger
many, the chief of which is that Greece
shall give her formal consent to the
principle of autonomy for Crete, will be
accepted by the Greek government.
The note of the powers has moi yet
beer presented, but it has been drawn
and is to the effect thai upon formal
declaration by Greece that She will re-
call her troop and agree to such an au-
tonomous regime for Crete as the pow
ers in their wisdom shall deem best and
accept unreservedly the counsels of the
powers, they will intervene in the in
terests of peace.
The note will probably be presented
today after the German minister has re-
ceived final Instructions.
1t is understood hat Greece in her
reply will assent to all of these condi-
lions.
M. Rail-, premier, and M. Skouloudis,
minister of foreign affairs, had a long
interview yesterday with Mr.. Edgerton,
the British representative, which has
caused considerable comment. 1t is be-
lieved TO be connected with the expected
Intervention of the powers.
A dispatch from Domokos says that
the heavy rains there prevent fighting.
The recall of the forces from Crete
has been received with resignation by
the public. The Delyannis & at
tack h government bitterly for ap-

BISHOP CHARGED WITH HEREsY
Ideas Advanced by the Head OF the
Episcopal Church in Louis
iunn Denounced,

New Orleans, May 10.-Rt. Rev. Da-
Wis Sessums OF this city, bishop OF the
Protestant Episcopal church OF Louis
lana, has been accused by about fifty
Of the leading ministers OF this city of
heresy.
He preached a sermon recently that
has called forth a denunciation Of the
ideas HI advanced in it. DR.. H. H. Wa
tiers published a card cr1ticising the
bishops belief as not consistent with
his position. Several other ministers
came out announcing their loyalty to
the bishop, but disappearing Of his be-
lief.
The latest sensation of the d%enuncia-
ton Of the bishop by fifty leading prot
estant preachers. headed by DR.. B. NJ.
Palmer, the most prominent divine of
the south. Some Of the charges they
make against Bishop Sessums' sermon
are:
It's undisguised pantheism.
Explicit denial that Christ has re-
deemed us by his blood.
Denial OF future punishment for the
wicked.
The assertion OF the final restoration
OF all men to the face Of God In a state
Of probation after death.
The sinking Of religion into mere u
manitarianism, bounded only by the
second table Of the law. and in which
God has no right through the practical
abolition of the first table.
Bishop Sessums so far has made no
reply.

STANDARD OIL PAYS
A HEALTHY DIVIDEND
Short Of What Was Expected But
the Stock Remains Above
the 800 Point.
IT AT LAST FINDS COMPETITION
Inexhaustible Supply Over Which
the Combine Cannot Secure
Control Makes the Mag
atc Anxious.

New York, May l0.-The directors of
the Standard Oil company at a meeting
held yesterday declared a quarterly
dividend of Z per cent, payable June Is,
to stockholders Of record on May IS.
This means q. distribution of about
SO. 600, 900 to the shareholders of the
company. During the fiscal year the
company has paid 81 per cent, and, in
Guiding the present dividend, 20 per cent
has been declared SO far this Year.
1t was expected hat al extra divi-
dend of 10 per cent or in excess would
be paid at his time. The act did not
prevent the stock from rising. however,
as it sold up on curb to 30l1s a share,
closing at 300k bid. The usual reports
OF sales at fancy figures were again put
in circulation by m~anipulators of the
stock. This was given as BOB a share,
the amount solo being 800 shares. The
selling Is attributed to growing compe-
tition in Europe, Russia, Asia and the
East Indies. The most profitable branch
OF the business Is the export trade. AT
the present rate Of increasing petroleum
output in foreign fields, where labor Is
cheaper and hauling distance to points
of consumption shorter, the exports OF
American oil, according to the opinion
Of experts, must be greatly curtailed.
The latest find is in Borneo, where
the deposits of petroleum are said to be
almost inexhaustible. Dutch n En-
glish syndicates are now working there,
and several "gushers' have been opened
up. In Java and Sumatra large depos-
its ave turned out over 20O,Co0 barrels
Of OIL during the last year, with the pro-
duction increasing rapidly. A Dutch
syndicate has established refining
plants at Palembaug on the Island of
Sumatra, and another large refinery
near Batavia or the Island of Java. Elk
perts who have examined these fields
declare that all of the eastern trade can
be supplied from there, cutting OF the
American oil.
The driving OF wells in Borneo is just
beginning to open up the rich petroleum
fields which have been found there. The
production is estimated at 1000, 900 gal
Ions of crude oil for the present year.
This eastern situation has rather dis
concerted the trust. and from reliable
sources it is learned that an offer OF
ESQ, 900 sterling has been made by the
Standard OIL company for a controlling
interest in a syndicate recently formed
In London and Amsterdam which has
purchased a large portion Of the known
fields in Borneo, Java and Sumatra.
The offer was not accepted.

THE CROPS OF SOUTH DAKOTA
Seeding of Wheat and Oats Com.
uIcted In Some Counties.

DlCted In Some Counties.
Huron, May S.-Crop conditions in
South Dakota are referred to as follows
in a bulletin issued yesterday from the
government weather bureau here:
The temperature during the week av-
eraged about the normal. The nights
were generally cool, but the afternoons
were mostly warm and there were sew
eral quite warm days. There was much
sunshine and fresh brisk winds. Scat
tered showers occurred on April 27 and
2s, and were fairly heavy In some To-
calities. The general weather condi-
lions were very favorable for seeding,
blowing, growth Of vegetation and dry
ing of flooded low lands. Wheat and
oat seeding Is almost completed In the
southern and we'll advanced in other
counties. Barley seeding is quite gener-
al. Over the southern. central and
some of the northern counties, much
grain is above the ground and growing
finely, several correspondents reporting
it from four to six inches high. Gar
dening is quite general and good pro-
gress Is reported. Grass is coming nice
~, and in many localities in southern
and central counties stock is turned out
to pasture and doing well.
