A HUMAN BUTCHER.
The Slayer of the Cotton Family Is
on Trial in Louisiana.

New Orleans, La, Jan. 19.-John John
son, the negro, who butchered the Cotton
family of five persons, near Tickfaw,
Tangipahoa parish, in September last,
and who has ever since been confined in
the parish prison in this city, was taken
to Amite City this morning to stand his
trial.
Johnson is one of the most remarkable
prisoners, who was ever confined in the
parish prison. He speaks of his crime
as if it was an every day occurrence and
while he does not realize the enormity of
the offense, he knows that he will be un-
tremendously hanged for what he has
done. He is fair type of the country
negro He is Is years old, of a low order
of intelligence, and is very black. 1t has
been expected that he would be lynehed
the moment he was taken to Tangipahoa
parish.
A special from Amite City to the Daily
States says: John Johnson. in charge of
a deputy sheriff, arrived here safe and
well on the 910 a. m. train. There was no
demonstration on the trip here, though at
several stations crowds were waiting to
see him. A large crowd awaited him here
He was rushed off to the court house
where he was arragned. Three lawyers
were appointed to defend him. He plead
ed not guilty to the five indictments for
murder.
His case is assigned for Friday He will
remain here until tried. He duplicates a
white man.

Havana, Jan. 19-The newspapers here
now give incomplete details of an attack
made by the rebels upon Tapaste in the
province of Havana. The fight occurred
on Jan. 10. and the fact that the news Of
the engagement has been so long suppress

The newspapers state, under government
permission, that when the insurgents at
tackled the town the residents took refuge
in a church. The Spanish defended the
place for four hours, until the rebels re-
tired. No mention is made of losses upon
either side.
Further details are at hand of the re-
cent rebel attack upon Placetas, in the
province of Santa Clara The rebels en-
tered the town from different directions
