CHARGED WITH SMUGGLING.
American Arrested for Driving Into
Prohibited Mexican Territory.

American Arrested for Driving Into
Prohibited Mexican Territory.
San Diego, CAL, Dec. 2s.-Harry
Mansur, the American who was arrest
ed several weeks ago by the Mexican
customs officials at Tia Juana for al
legged infraction of the laws governing
the free zone, has been released by the
Ensenada authorities and is again at
his home on this side. His release was
obtained through the Intervention of
Hon. Anthony Godbe, American vice.
which allowed Mansur to leave the
country.
Mansur said TODAY that his case was
temporarily settled, and he did not ex-
pect it to come up again for six months
or year. 1t is probable the cash bail
will be quietly accepted and no further
action taken, especially ae Mansur's
infraction of the law was slight.
Mansur's wife's family lives at Ro-
sario, about two miles south of the
free zone. Mansur had often visited
them, taking his team and paying no
attention to the law. being an old resi-
dent and acquainted with the officials.
But new administration of the Tia
Juana custom-house, Senior Motavel-
asco, caused Mansur to be arrested for
smuggling horse into the country,
and imposed a heavy fine upon him.
Failing to pay the fine, Mansur was ar
rested and sent to Ensenada to be dealt
with by the higher authorities. Since
that time until day or SO ago he had
been in Jail.

Pirates and Counterfeiters are Promptly
Beheaded.
San Francisco, Dec. O.-According
to the latest advices from the Orient
Lii Ka Chuck, superintendent of the
Canton police, on November %, seized
large number of counterfeit coins.
The chief coiner, Use Sang, and others,
were arrested. An imperial decree
from Peking commanded the immediate
decapitation of the three named Offend
ers, and enjoins the viceroy to deal
with the others as he thinks necessary
according to law, as warning to the
people. The officials who effected the
seizure were all promoted in rank.
The Canton viceroy reported in an
other memorial the capture of two no.
torious pirate junks. In effecting the
capture one military officer lost his life.
A decree was issued on the 18th of
November authorizing the execution of
the captives and ordering the officials
concerned in the capture to be promot-
ed in rank and that the matter of the
military officer who had lost his life
be referred to the board concerned for
rewards and posthumous honors.

THEY WANT 70 KNOW MORE
Venezuelans Not Ready to
Ratify the Treaty.
A DELAY IN THE PROCEEDINGS

They Insist That ACCIDENTAL Negotia
tions Shall Be closed First-Gen.
| eral Arbitration Treaty Completed d
+" Washington, Dec. 30.-Secretary Oh
ney left the state department at 1s
o'clock today and went direct to the
British embassy, where he held a long
conference by appointment with Sin
Julian Pauncefote, the British am bas-
sader, relative to the status of the Ven.
ezuela treaty. Mr.. Olney's call fol.
| lowed the arrival of Minister Andrade,
of Venezuela, and James J. Storrow,
counsel in the Venezuela case, who
reached Washington late last evening
The result of the conference was
guarded with the usual secrecy which
prevails at meetings between the secre-
tary and an ambassador, but there is
good reason to believe it was the occa.
sion for going over several new phases
Of the Venezuela question.
The officials are reticent, and will
say only in general terms that the pros
pect of an acceptance of the settlement
by Venezuela is good. 1t is under
stood, however, that there are impor-
taht limitations to the acceptance
which appear to make the case less
hopeful of an immediate and satisfac-
tory conclusion than has been expected.
The plan of an extra session of the
Venezuela congress to ratify the treaty
has been practically abandoned. There
appears also to be,a question as to the
nature of sVenezuela's acceptance.
President Crespo and the government
authorities nave expressed satisfaction
with the general settlement, so far as
they secure arbitration, yet they have
mot yet expressed official az approval of
all the details of the settlement. On
the contrary, there seems a very
earnest desire at Caracas for more ex.
act information of the terms of the
treaty between Venezuela and Great
Britain.
AT present there is no disposition to
await the gradual maturing of this
complete treaty, and it is little short
of settled that the treaty will have. to
be forthcoming, and all the incidental
negotiations closed before the desired
Venezuela ratification is secured.
In official and diplomatic circles,
there continues to be satisfactory and
hopeful view of the situations. 1t Is
felt all obstacles will be cleared away
in time, and there is disposition to
minimize obstacles as being under the
head of minor details.
At the same time, the practical
abandonment of the extra session of
the Venezuela congress and the dispo-
sition to close all negotiations on the
final treaty before acceptance is given
do not increase the prospect of speedy
conclusion of the case.
On. the question of general arbitra-
tion between the United States and
Great Britain, Mr.. Olney and Sir
Julian have made their final draft Of
the treaty, and it is in the hands of
Lord Salisbury. awaiting his approval
No doubt exists of its approval, and
it is expected to come daily.

PERlsHE0 TO a. MAN.
Brave Tarty of Texans Fighting 70
Cuba Killed in q Hot Fight.

Brave Tarty of Texans Fighting for
Cuba Killed in q Hot Fight.
New York, Dec; ga special to
the World from Key West, says:
The Lone Star company, of the Pa.
triot Army Of West Cuba, consisting
of fifteen Texas sharpshooters, perished
to man after battling more than five
hours against vastly superior Spanish
forces in Pinar del Rio province, kill.
ing double their own number and
wounding probably as many more.
Havana officials are jubilant, passen-
gers say, over the news of this victory.
A Cuban band was observed near
Pinar del Rio city Thursday morning,
and General Melquiz sent two squads
OF cavalry to attack it, After rum
ming fight, the band, which proved to
be composed of the fifteen Texans, was
chased into bottle bit of hum
mock having one opening. The Texans,
seeing they were in hole, retreated to
the further end and fortified them
selves behind some boulders. The
Spanish troopers dismounted and sur.
rounded them, pouring in a fire from
both sides. The braye Texans replied
and kept up the fight more than five
hours. By that time, six of the fifteen
had been killed and four wounded,
while twenty-five Spaniards had bit
the dust and ten or more were wounded.
A flag of truce was sent in by the
Spanish, and the Texans were called
on to surrender, but the Americans re-
fused, shouting, "We remember Ma
Geo."
This infuriated the Spaniards, and
they fought with renewed fierceness.
Twice they charged, but the rapid fir.
ing Of the brave little band drove them
back. By getting on high ridge be-
hind the Texans position, the Span
iards were enabled to kill all but two
OF those left. Those two gallantly con-
tinued to fight and held off the enemy
an hour longer. Then, overcome by
thirst and enfeebled by loss of blood,
flowing from a dozen wounds, they
were cut to pieces by the Spanish, who
finally dashed up as the Texans cried,
"Vive Cuba libre."

Grafton, Wis, Dec. 29.-John
Holmes. farmer near here, was shot
last evening by Ferdinand Fragen-
knecht, whose Object was presumably
robbery. Two shots lodgedin Holmes
head and one passed through hisneck.
He cannot recover. After firing the
shots Fragenknecht fed. He was
quickly pursued by posse of citizens,
who caught him and were on the point
of executing him when the police in
terfered, and after much trouble sue
ceeded in lodging him safely in Jail.
The murderer evidently is a tramp.
He asked Mrs Holmes for a meal,
which was given him, and he then
pulled a revolver and shot the old
farmer while his wife was in another
room. She ran out shouting "mur-
der" and crowd soon collected and
followed and captured the man.

Spain's Breakdown.

New York, Dac. .30.---A Madrid dis
patch to the World says:
! An evidently inspired editorial in
the Epoca today, foreshadowing the
possibility of an understanding be.
tween the Spanish government and
( President Cleveland, has caused pro-
found sensation in Spain. The Epooa,
the organ of the conservative party,
| now in power, says:
American Intervention in Cuba is
perfectly logical on the grounds of
material interests and national senti-
ment. 1t might become an inevitabl
necessity of American home politics,
and it is eminently to the interest of
our own country to avoid a conflict
while we can do SO with honor, main
tanning our dignity and sovereignty.
The present active efforts of Spanish
diplomacy are all aimed, it is asserted
in diplomatic and political quarters
here, at convincing the American state
departm ent that exigeneies of domestic
policy make it impossible for Spain to
enter into any formal agreement or
convention with the United States for
the settlement of the Cuban question.
Strenuous efforts are being made by
the Spanish and other European gov.
ernments to prevail upon President
Cleveland to be content if Spain assents
tacitly only to his interference, and
satisfies American opinion for the time
being by voluntary and prompt insti-
tuting in Cuba and in Porto Rico of
the reforms voted by the cortes. This
is an understandings however, that
Premier Canovas will ask the cortes
this year to authorize complete colonial
autonomy and reduction of colonial
tariffs, to prepare the way for r,ci-
procity treaty with the United States.
The spanish generals agree that it is
possible to reduce the ipsurrec;i IN in
Cuba to the three eastern provinces in
a few months with the forces now on
the island, but they share the opinion
of General Weyler that complete pa
ci6cation of the rest of the island
would require much longer time, un-
less the rebels should be convinced
that resistance is sure to dininish IN
consequence of the Spanish government
coming to an understanding, even un-
official, with the United States to set.
tie the Cuban question.

ESCAPED LYNCHlNG.
A Murder>r Owes His Safety to Gov.
ern0r Stone.

A Murder>r Owes His Safety to Gov.
ernor Stone.
Jefferson City, Mo-, Dec 29.-The
presence of Governor Stone at the coun.
ty. Jail tonight probably. saved Tobe
Lanahan, colored, from being lynched.
At $3.50 O'Clock, mob of fully 1000,
whites and blacks, surrounded the jail,
threatening to avenge the most revolt
ing murder ever committed in Jeffer-
son City. Early this morning the
body of a 14-year-old negro girl, Mile
Gaines, was found in yard back of
Joseph Stamphi's furniture store. The
child had been outraged, her skull
crushed and her body mutilsted III a
horrible manner. Suspicion pointed
to Tobe Lanahan, and he was arrested.
In the basement of the furniture store
discriminating evidence was found
The news spread over the city, and
by night there was great excitement.
When lynching was finally threat
ened, Governor Stone, accompanied by
Mayor Silver and Assistant Attorney
General Jordan, went to the Jail and
Governor Stone spoke to the mob He
appealed to them to leave the punish
ment of the crime to the state. AS
citizens of the capital of the state, he
implored them not to permit, in the
very shadow of the capital, such
crime as was contemplated. When the
enraged men were finally induced to
withdraw, the prisoner was removed
to the state. penitentiary. Armed
guards from the state armory assisted
in the transfer of the prisoner.
