height of his fame. On Nov. 20, 1895, he
married Catherine James at the Brentford
registry office in England The bride was
many years the Junior of her husband.
Blondin crossed Niagara falls on Juno
30, 1859, in the presence of nearly 80, 900
people. 1t was the first time this feat had
ever been attempted. The following year
he made the trip across Niagara river just
above the falls nearly 80 times, and ON
Sept IA, 1860, he carried man across on
his back. The Prince of Wales witnessed
this performance, and when Blondin was
presented to him the prince exclaimed,
THANK God it's all over"
A favorite trick of his was to carry a
stove to the middle of the tight rope span
and there cook a meal, which he would
lower to the crowd below. He never used
safety net, and he always explained that
he never felt any fear when on the rope
The only accident which he suffered Is
said to have been due to the carelessness of
another person. He would never drink or
smoke. Though Frenchman by birth he
lived in England in IA fine villa, which he
named Niagara. He was fairly well to do
at the time of his death and possessed a
large number Of medals presented to him
by the soyereigns of the countries which
he had visited during the days of his glory

The Brutal Slaughter of Ruiz.

HAVANA, via Key West, Feb. 2O.-Dr,
Richard Ruiz, a naturalized American
citizen, was found dead in his cell in the
Guanabacoa Jail Wednesday afternoon at
O'Clock. Thorc is little doubt that he was
beaten to death by his iailers ut Fondes-
viela' S orders,
DIR. Ruiz, who studied and practiced
dentistry in Philadelphia for many years,
was arrested some ten days ago and
charged with having helped Aranguren 5
band to derail train some weeks ago,
when two Spanish officers were captured
The charge was of the himsicst character,
as every one in Guanabacoa knew that
Ruiz attended strictly to his business and
took no interest in political or revolution
AIRY movements
The Spanish authorities, as usual, failed
to notify the consul general of the step
they had taken, and General Lee only
learned from unofficial sources of the high
handed proceedings
OF course, the only crime of which Ruiz
was guilty was American citizenship, and
for this he has now been done to death in
most brutal and inhuman manner
When the ~ hours had elapsed during
which by Spanish law prisoners may be
kept inaccessible, General Lee demanded
that a lawyer and representative of the
consulate be admitted to see the prisoner.
The state department was informed of the
situation by General Lee but he received
no reply.
Whether instructed or not General Lee
will take all the steps which the situation
demands and perform his duty to his fell
low citizens.

New YORK, Feb. 24-The World this
morning publishes under the head of The
Most Important Document In the Cuban
War" an autograph letter written to that
paper by Salvador Cisneros, president of
the provisional government of the Cubans
and countersigne by Maxine Gomez, the
general in chief
The letter was approved by the so called
cabinet of the provisional government and
bears the seal of the infant republic. 1t is
as follows;
AT the request Of your correspondent
we have the greatest pleasure in answer
ing the following questons:
-" DO you believe that the war can be
ended on the basis Of independence by the
payment of an indemnify by Cuba to
Spain with the United States as arbitra-
tori
"On the basis of independence it will
he possible to enter into negotiations,
These should provide for the evacuation of
the island by the Spanish and for the fu-
ture relations between Spain and the new
Cuban republic
I've believe there should also be in
cluded an indemnity TO be paid Spain, pro-
vided the amount is reasonable This
would be honorable, practicable and good
for all.
But if done it should be done as soon
as possible. The indemnity should pre-
vent the further loss Of blood and Of mon
ey, and it would save the economic re-
sources of the people who have sworn to
the complete destruction Of the island be-
fore they will submit anew to the domin-
ion Of Spain.
Each day that passes causes fresh
hatred and devastation. Soon the produc-
ing capacity of the country will be de-
stroyed
Cuba can pay less us time passes, not
only because each moment she earns less,
but it will be increasingly difficult for her
to fulhll the stipulations and agreements
she is now able to make.
The indemnity to Spain should take
the form of the acknowledgment and
guarantee by Cuba Of part of the debt
already contracted by Spain or the pay
ment Of sum in bonds or in money to
Spain.
"We would not deem it inadvisable for
the United States to intervene as arbitra-
tor or semiotlcially as the friends of both
sides, providing always that the island of
Cuba shall not sacrifice thereby her own
sovereignty
1--WE are yours, in the greatest consider
ation, SALVADOR ClsNERosI

VETOED BY CLEVELAND.
The President Disapproves the Pensions
of Remarked Widows.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The president
returned to the house without approval
bills pensioning Mrs. Mary A. Viel and
Mrs. Mary A. Freeman. In the case of
Mrs. Viel the veto message says that the
widow of Major W. ID. Sanger, having re-
married, she long ago by her own deliber-
ate act surrendered right to draw PEN
sion as the widow of Major Sanger.
A further objection is that it is not
shown that the death of the first husband
was due to injuries received in his army
service. Neither he nor his widow while she
remained such presented any claim for
pension.
Mrs. Freeman was pensioned as the
widow of Andrew V. Pritchard who
served in the war with Mexico and died
from disease contracted in the service. She
continued to receive this pension until she
married John Freeman. 1t is now pro-
posed to restore her to the pension roll as
the widow of her first husband

Consuis Fired on by cretans.

KHANIA, Feb. 23.--The British, Italian
and Russian consuls who recently went
to Selino to inquire into the situation
there, have returned 20 Khania, bringing
with them 40 Mussulmans, who feared
to remain in the town. The consuls state
that they were unable to negotiate with
the combatants who were resolved to fight
to the end. Both sides, Moslems and Chris
tians, refused to be hampered with prison
ers and therefore massacred all the enc
mics who fell into their hands. Two thou
sand civilians and $50 Turkish troops
with three guns are still holding Selino
against the Christians, but their position
is critical. When attempting to approach
Cadano, tho consuls were fired upon by
the CreRns, despite the fact that they
were bearing white flag.

DESTRUCTIVE FLOODS.
Great Damage Done by High Water IT
Ohio and Alleghany VaIleys.


PTrTsBURG, Feb 24.-The flood now
raging here will probably equal the great
flood of 1884, which measured "a feet. II
is impossible to estimate the damage the
present rise is doing, but $500, 900 will be
putting it mildly at Pittsburg and ALE
ghany alone. All the lowlands in the vi
cinity of either of the rivers have beeI
submerged.
More than 10000 men have been made
idle by the rise, as many of the mills are
located ON the banks of the streams. The
water has invaded the heart of the city
and flooded cellars and stopped traffic il
many places, notably Sixth and Market
streets, popular thoroughfares.
A large part of Alleghany has apparent
ly been blottSd out.
Many people are made homeless along
the banks of the Allegheny river Begin
ming at Brownsville, on the Monongahela
river, California, Monongahela City, Char
lcroi, cast and west of Elizabeth Port
view, McKeesport, Turtle Creek, Bessemel
and many smaller hamlets have been in
undated or partially so, causing much
suffering. The distress of the people is aw
full, as many fled to the hills and remain
ed there all night in the rain and colo
rather than trust to their homes.
The coal and coke tipple of Browne q
Co. fell with crash above the bridge OF
the Wheeling division of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, and fleet of so Goa
boats and barges wero cut loose from theii
moorings, completely blocking the chan
mel from bank to bank, threatening all
the craft for miles below About half OF
the fleet was saved.
The plants of the Westinghouse Electric
company, meter plant and machine shops,
East Pittsburg, covering acres of ground,
are all under water, caused by the backing
up of Turtle creek Hundreds of houses
are also under water from this cause. The
exposition building is completely sur.
rounded by water. The Oliver Wire and
Nail company's plant, Ditworth Spike
