Killed the Guards and Made Their
Escape.
A convict outbreak at Cavite, Philippine
Islands, December 8, was the occasion of
more actual fighting at the rebel strong
hold than has been precipitated by the en-
tire operations of the Spanish troops On
that date LAT prisoners in the house jail
suddenly rose in open revolt, killed the
guards and effected their escape.
The alarm occasioned was indescribable.
The convicts. after placing hors du combat
every guardian of the JAIL including the
superintendent, took possession of all the
weapons they could find handy, including
some Mauser rifles which belonged to the
guards, and made their way toward the In
terror. The sentries in St. Felipe fort, in
the arsenal and in the barracks, on per-
ceiving their flight, opened fire upon them
The runaways then divided themselves
Into two groups. The whole Of Cavite
seemed to have a hand in the destruction
Of the unfortunates or their recapture SO
that the result up to December was
eighty killed and eighteen or twenty cap
tured.

GOV. BUsHNELL,s POSITION.
VIII Await Senator Sherman,s Resi-
nation Before He Does Anythfna

Will Await senator ShermNn'a Resfx-
nation Before He Does Anything.
Gov. Asa 8. Bushnell of Ohio is still in
New York and has not decided to appoint
Mark Hanna to fill the unexpired term of
Senator John Sherman, when the latter re-
signs to become Secretary Of State. Murat
Halstead saw the governor at the hotel
last Sunday, and the former then went to
Cleveland, where he gave out an interview
tc the effect that Governor Bushnell said
he would appoint Mr.. Hanna for the short
term and then let him fight it out for re-
election one year hence. To a reporter the
governor said yesterday:
Il was astonished to read Mr. Halstead's
Interview, given in Cleveland. He saw me
Sunday morning and not Sunday evening,
as he said. He said to me in frank way:
II were you, governor 1 would ap-
point Hanna for the unexpired term and
then let him fight it out for reelection
answered to the effect that 1 had not
decided and would not decide what I would
do until Senator John Sherman resigned. 1
made the same answers to Mr.. Halstead
that made to an interviewer last Satur-
day, which was that had not decided and
would not until the time came to act Now
Mr. Halstead, by some strange mental pro-
cess, quotes himself in his conversation
with me and gives me credit for saying it.
L wish distinctly and categorically to deny
ever saying that would appoint Mr.. Han
"a or any other man to succeed Senator
John Sherman.
In the first place, the senator may
change his mind about going In the cabinet
and never resign. He has three weeks and
over to change his mind, and until he does
resign, do not propose to anticipate things.
l shall not be foolish enough to cross a
bridge before reach it. l notice. too, that
some one says below Mr.. Halstead's inter-
view that will not call an extra session to
eiect Mr. sherman's successor rather than
appoint, owing to the large expense it
would be to the state. The expense would
be comparatively nothing. as the members
OF the legislature are paid by the year and
the state house Is lighted and taken care of
for so much per annum So the cost of
calling an extra session does not enter into
the question at all. One thing is sure. l
VIII not make up my mind to appoint Mr..
Sherman's successor until he resigns He
may change his mind before March L."

REPRESENTATIVE EPEs' ANSWER.
Thorp's Charges Of Fraud in the
Fourth Virginia District Denied.


A special dispatch to The Star from Rich
mond Va, January 10, says: Sidney P.
Epes, who was elected to Congress from
the fourth district. has completed his an
swer to the contest made by R. L. Thorp,
republican candidate. The paper is 10
pages of typewriter matter, and starts out
with a general denial of the charges of
fraud made by Mr.. Thorp.
He alleged that Thorp's political sup
porters attempted to bribe voters in the
election. 1t is held that the negroes in the
district voted largely for Epes and free sill
Yer, while 5000 of them did not vote and
made no attempt to vote. The leading
white republicans in every county in the
district, ii is claimed, supported Epes on ac-
count of Thorp's flop on the currency ques-
ticn. Most Of the straightout populists are
claimed to have supported the free silver
candidate, after their candidate, ]. Thomas
Goode withdrew from the fight.
The paper quotes from a letter written
oy Gee, the other republican candidate, who
contested the field with Thorp for while, to
show that there IS no ground for a real
contest On Thorp's part, and it is also held
that large support from the gold stand
ard democrats of Petersburg was given to
Epes on account of personal reasons.

Frcm the Engineering Record.
The Compressed Air Power Company has
been organized in New York city and has
filed certificate of capitalization With the
county clerk. The organization has revived
the report that certain street car lines in
New York city are to be equipped with
compressed air motors. Officials of the
Metropolitan Traction Company state that
good results have been obtained by the
experimental use Of both compressed air
motors and electricity, and that one or
the other OF these will eventually be adopt
ed for the north and south horse car lines

The Cuban Republic,. Stamps.

The stamps of the insurgent government
of Cuba seem to have had the benefit of a
doubt with the postmasters between Wash
ington and the island and are thus far de
facto stamps.
At the Post Office Department it was
said that the Postmaster General had no
official knowledge of the use of such
stamps.
The question raised being wholly new
one. the third assistant postmaster gen.
eral, Mr.. Kerr Craige, was unwilling to an
nounce an opinion. Among old officials in
the department 1t was freely declared that
the Cuban stamps had no status whatever
in our mails and were not entitled to rec
ognition. 1t is believed that in all proba-
bility as soon as the department becomes
aware officially Of the attempt to use them
they will be barred from the mails.

PATENTS FOR RAILROAD LANDS.

tinvits From the Purchasers.
A new policy in the patenting of lands
Of the government bond-aided railroads has
been inaugurated by Secretary Francis,
looking to a greater protection of the in
terests of settlers. The practice of the gov
eminent for some time has been to refuse
to patent the lands of the Pacific and all
other bond-aided roads, except such land
as has been acquired by bona fde pur-
chasers from the railroad companies. This
heretofore has been done upon the sworn
statements of two of the company's officers
that the lands were sold for valuable con-
s.deration to the designated bona fide pur-
chaser. The order under which this prac-
tice was made has now been modified by
Secretary Francis SO as to require the affi-
davit of the purchaser IS well as of the
road. Whenever Il appears that the orig
inal purchaser has died the present occu-
pant or owner, to secure patent, must also
row file affidavit that he bought the land
from the bona fide purchaser.

BRAND RECORDING.
oftntcrestand Importance TO Every Cat

VA 1htcFesLanu Importance 10 Every Vat
tleman in Arizona.
1t is of the greatest importance
to cattlemen Of Arizona that they
should know of the provisions Of
the late law with reference to brand
recording, and after knowing the
provisions, proceed without unnec-
essary delay to comply with the
law.
The new law makes it compul.
sorry that all brands be recorded in
the Office of the Live Stock SAM
tary Board instead Of with the
county recorders Of the several
counties, which county record
books have been done away with
iii so far as they constitute pub.
lie record.
Those who had their brands on
county record will request the
county recorder, either IN person
or by letter, to make out a certif-
cate of such brands on blanks furn-
ished the recorders. For this they
pay a fee of 25 cents TO the record.
er. The certificate is signed by
the owner Of the brand or his
agent, as the case may be, after
which it is sent to the Office Of The
secretary Of the Sanitary Board at
Phoenix. It should be understood
in this connection that no brand or
mark shall be changed after the
certificate has been signed by the
recorder, and his seal affixed
Such changes can be made, but on
another blank which will be fur
nished by the secretary on request.
All brands which have myer
been recorded heretofore will have
to go to public record under the
present law, and, for which purpose
blanks will be furnished by the
Secretary. This referes to horses
as well as cattle; if you have ten
different brands on your ranch,
you should have them recorded if
you desire to be secured in the use
of the brand. 1t is an erroneous
idea that only the brand kept up
need be placed on record.
If you have other brands, and
which from your failing to record,
do not appear on such record as
taken by anyone, the same will be
allowed to the first applicant who
may apply for such brand, in which
case it might work to the serious
disadvantage of the first or original
owner of cattle in such brand.
1t is intended to be and certain
ly will be an advantage to every
cattleman in Arizona, and to that
end all are urged to take advantage
of the provision at the earliest pos
sible moment. ....
Remember, brands do not have
to be burnt on leather as of old.

be all that is required, which blank
