sBNAron MoSEY,s MISSION.
His Visit to Cuba Enshrouded in Complete
 Mystery.

Havana, Jan. 4.-La Lucha to-day, speaking of the report that Senator Money had gone to visit the insurgent leaders, said it did not believe that he would commit such misdemeanor and place himself outside the pale oc the law. Such an act would be unparaon able in a person whose duty it was to know and respect the laws of the coun- try he visited. If it was serious Cf- fence for other Americans to visit tine insurgent camps, it was still worse for one to do so who represented his coun- try in its parliament.
 MT. Money returned to Havana this evening. All efforts to learn from him where he had been were fruitless, he declining to say anything that would tend to disclose his whereabouts since he disappeared The general opinion is that he has been within the rebel lines seeking the information he de- sired, but there is no way of proving this belief
 General Luque reports from Cienfu- geos that his command met 1,50O rebels, compelled them to retreat No men tion is made of the losses on either side.
 Four hundred rebel eavalrymen, com- f1fanded by Maximo Gomez, the insur- gent ommander-in-cl chief, made attacks at Santa Teresa and other places upon government convoy The Spanish forces comprised artillery and the charges of the rebels were met with volleys of grape shot, which caused havoc in their ranks. It is calculated that 100 insurgents were killed. The Spanish losses are said to have been only captain and private killed and thirteen wounded. The convoy has ar rived at Arroyo Blanco.
 Colonel Alsina reports that he has dispersed several rebel parties at Bru- jitos, province of Pinar Del Rio. Nine insurgents were killed The troops de- stroyed over one hundred huts and a number of plantations. They also cap- tured 205 persons who were living in the fields.
 It is said General Gonzalez Munoz has been appointed chief of staff under Captain General Weyler.
 Consul General Lee is authority for the statement that MT Money has no connection with the Cuban junta in New York. This statement is made in view of the fact that a report has been circulated to the effect that MT. Money is an agent of the junta or has some connection with that body. General Lee adds that MT Money made the trip to Cuba for pleasure and to ob- tain personal information within law ful limits of the condition of the coun- try in order to enable him to speak with authority on the Cuban question: Last Saturday MT. Money, General Lee says, was invited to visit the town of San Jose de las Lajas, some fifteen miles southeast of Havana in order to see the country. He went there that day and remained until to-day He re- mained in the town during his entire stay, and saw no rebels.

A DEFAULTER AND SUICIDE
ONE OF B4LTIMORE'S BEST KNOWN BANK CdSHIER'S TRAGIC DEATH.

He Was Short $6O,OOO in His Accounts
 Threw Himself Into Pond in Druid
 Hill Park and Held Himself to the Bot tom by the Wecds-He Was 6s Years of
 Age and Prominent in Religious Work
 Baltimore, Md, Jan. 4.-Richard D. Cornelius, one of the oldest and best known bank cashiers of this city, com mitted suicide to-day. His body was found in the duck pond in Druid Hill park this afternoon, a few hours after a shortage of $60,000 had been discover ed in his accounts at the National Farmers and Planters bank
 Last Saturday Bank Examiner Win chester drew the attention of the ofli- cers of the bank to irregularities in the accounts of an out of town institution This morning MT. Cornelius was asked to explain the irregularities, He did not attempt to do so, but abruptly walked off. A closer examination of his accounts disclosed an apparent shortage of $6O,000.
 The officers of the bank then tele- phoned to detectives to hunt Mir. Cor nelius up. They traced the defaulter to Druid Hill park and thence to the duck pond. They found his body float ing in three feet of water. The man had evidently held himself to the bot tom of the pond by the weeds that grow there.
 MT. Cornelius was about siXty-eight years of age and had been connected with the National Farmers and Plant CTS bank for over forty-two years. He was a close friend of the late Enoch Pratt, who was president of the bank for almost half century. MT. Cor nelius's tragic end was the sole topic of conversation in downtown circles this afternoon. Hundreds of his friends refused to believe that he was either a defaulter or a suicide.
 For many years Mir. Cornelius had been very prominent in Methodism, and at the time of his death he was a local preacher of the Baltimore conference, president of the City Missionary and Church Extension society president of the Emory Grove association, one of the trustees of the Baltimore Annual conference and member of the official board of the Madison avenue church.
 The National Farmers and Planters bank is considered one of the strongest in the city. It has paid 10 per cent, dividends for several years. It's sur plus on December F, 1896, was $500, ,000. Its capital stock Is $S00,000.

oLEvE1AND MlNsrKELs STRANDED
The Show Collapses at Hartford Owing to
 q Lack of Funds.

Hartford, Jan. 4.-The performance of Cleveland's minstrels at the Hart ford opera house was cut short to- night, the curtain was rung down and the audience dismissed. The show has stood in the name of the wife of w. s. Cleveland, and to-day it was trans ferred by MT. and Mrs. Cleveland to James H. Burton, who gives an exhibi- ton with trained dogs in connection with the show.
 An attachment was placed on the re- ceipts tonight for S100 in a suit against Mr. Cleveland by William W. Scott, a former member of the company. MT. Cleveland claimed that he had mo in- terest in the show and he and Burton demanded that the shows share of the receipts be paid over to Burton, or else the show would be stopped
 The managers of the house desiring to protect themselves against the op- eration of the writ declined to grant the demand, so Cleveland and Burton stopped the shown before it was half over. As they left the box office and walked out of the building MT. Cleve- land said to his wife and Burton: Its all over. Come along" The company is without money and will probably disband

UNDER THE SENTENCE OF DEATH.
Mate Bram of the Herbert Fuller Regains
 His COmpo Sure.


 Boston, Jan. 4.-Thomas Bram slept well last night and his nerve isz collect ed again. He is still the same calm, imperturbable man that caused wonder at his appearance all through his fa- nous trial Yesterday morning he was not so bright as usual, but to-day his good spirits have returned, and no one would guess from his manner and actions that he has passed the first cor her on the road to the scaffold.
 His counsel, Messrs. Cotter, French, Dore and Ormsby, are preparing for one of the greatest contests ever waged to save mans life, and no stone will be left unturned to keep Mate Bram from the gallows. One thing is appar- ent: Public sympathy is with Bram. Hundreds of men are to be found who are firmly convinced taht there was not evidence enough to convict, and that they hoped to see a disagreement. Few persons can be discovered, however, who will openly declare they believe he should be acquitted. The point in all discussions seems to be that there should have been another trial and a clearer presentation of the case before the law demanded that his neck should be broken by a rope.
 Bram's mail has been large since Sunday The usual number of cranks have sent him advice and suggestion as to what to do and how to do it. He appears to be too sensible man. to give more than casual attention to these communications, and has thrown all of them aside as soon as reading them.
 United States Marshal Swift sent a communication to the jail this morning requesting that no person except the counsel be allowed to see Bram, and that no outsiders be permitted to talk with the witnesses. The latter cannot see Bram and he cannot talk with them. The sailors are feeling quite well. They get good living and as much, if not more pay than they would on shipboard without working, so they find no fault with their surroundings and do not complain at their confine- ment.
 It is probable that new order will be made in regard to them to-day or tomorrow, and it is not likely that they will be allowed their liberty until the case is disposed of.
 The cost of the trial to the govern 1nent will be not far from $1O,O0O.

 Seal Cove, Grand Manan. N. B.. Jan 1.-The British steamer Warwick. Glas- gow for St. John, N. B., before reported stranded on Yellow Muir Ledge, about ten miles from here, lies in an exposed position, and it is expected that she will go to pieces at the first southerly gale.
 The tug Storm King, with the superin- tendent of the Donaldson line, arrived here and engaged the schooner Emma T. Story and half a dozen other fishing vessels to go to the wreck and save what they could. Some vessels had been to the wreck previously and re moved everything from the steamers s saloon, and also quantity of her car go. It is doubtful is any more of the cargo will be saved, as the water al- most covers the vessels hold. even at low tide.

Dnffy. the Pugilist. Dead.

New York, Jan. 4.-James Duffy, the Boston pugilist, who engaged in the ten round contest with George Justice of New York, last Monday evening, and who had been unconscious ever since from presumed injuries received, died at the hospital to-day. Justice, Tom O'Rourke, manager of the club, and others will be held for manslaugh- ter.
 The effect of this may result in abolishing the Norton boxing law in New York state, under which the fatal exhibition was held. The pulpit and in a large degree, the press, nave enter ed upon a crusade against prize fight ing carried on under the guise of clubs which have no further end in view than the making of money for a few promot- CTS of the sport

CONFIRMATION OF IRELAND.
Sir Edward Clarke Believes the Contention
 to be True.

to be True
 London, Jan. 4.-Sir Edward Clarke, M. P, formerly solicitor general, who caused much indignation among the conservatives some time ago by de- claring that Great Britain's attitude in the Venezuela matter were untenable, has again made announcement that meets with much opposition among the tories.
 Sir Edward to-day delivered 9 speech at Plymouth, which place he represents in the house of commons. In the course of his address he referred to the claim of the Irish that they are overtaxed to the amount of about 62000.000 yearly and to their demand that taxation be reduced and restitu- tion made of the excess of taxes col lected during the past forty years or so. After referring to the commission on the financial matter between Great Britain and Ireland, which recently submitted a report favoring the Irish contention, Sir Edward said he could not hesitate to accept the decisions on matters of act of such strong com mission.
 This declaration is noteworthy as being the first from an English tory in support of the report of the com mission, As a body the English tories are bitterly opposed to the acceptance of the report as final and during the coming session of parliament will seek to obtain the appointment of another commission to investigate the question.

Place Not Named.
 New York, Jan. 4.-At Taylor's hotel in Jersey City to-day Robert Fitzsim- mons signed the articles of agreement for the fight with James J. Corbett for a purse of $15000 and side bet of S5OO0. Among the sporting men pres ent were Captain Moore, Joe Vendig and Sam Fitzpatrick. They went over from this city with Fitzsimmons and Martin Julian at 2:30 o'clock. When Stuart arrived Fitzsimmons read down the articles until he came to the clause which read: "All privileges re- served by the club"
 This meant that the club, or rather Stuart, had the right to dispose of privileges to the kinetoscope com panies.
 Julian said that his principal should get his share of money coming in from that source and a verbal agreement was made that all money should be equally divided between the principals. The fight will be to a finish and will take place on March 1T next at a place hereafter to be named by Stuart.

DINGLEY BILL 4 LAW.
The President Signs IL With "A Ding
ley Pen.

WASHINGTON, July A.-The Dlngley
tariff bill is now the law Of the land.
The last step necessary was taken at
the White House when the President
affixed his signature at 4Oi o'clock to-
day. 1t had been arranged that the
President should go to the Capitol to
perform that function, but owing to un-
certainty as to the time that the bill
would be ready that plan was aban-
doned.
The members Of the Cabinet who are
in Washington came to the White House
about half-past 8 o'clock, and assem-
bled with the President In the Cabinet
room few moments before o'clock
Representative Dingley appeared, accom-
panied by Representative Hager chair
man Of the House Committee on En-
rolled Bills. They were admitted at once
into the presence of Mr.. Mckinley. The
latter was sitting quietly at the long
Cabinet table. with Secretary Gage and
Attorney General McKenna on one side
and Postmaster-General Gary and Secre-
tary Wilson on the other. He rose and
greeted Mr.. Dingey and Mr.. Hager
cordially.
The President had several pens at
hand. the owners OF which had begged
might be used TO sign the tariR bill,
but Mr.. Dingloy, unexpectedly taking
case from his pocket, produced a beau
tiful er-of-pearl-haudled pen, dainty
enough for a lady's use. and requested
that It be used for the signature. Tho
President recognized the right Of Alr.
Dngley, though he laughingly comment
ed upon the diminutive size Of the pen.
He then appended his signature to the
bill, asked the date. and wrote July
2lth, approved" and the bill was an act.
