soMEILLAN SENTENCED.
Life imprisonment in Chains the De-
cree of the Court.

Havana, Jan. H.-This afternoon at 1880
O'Clock sentence was read in the case of
Luis Someillan, naturalized American
citizen, who has been found guilty of con-
spring against the Spanish government.
The sentence of the tribunal before which
he was tried is that he be imprisoned for
life in chains. Someillan's lawyer will
appeal to the supreme court at Madrid
against the decision of the Havana tri-
bunal.
Among the various conclusions of the
tribunal, based on the charges against the
prisoner, the following was the most inn
portant;
Whereas, public rumor, in attributing
to Someillan dissatisfaction to the Span
ish cause was not misguided, since his
change of nationality for an unjust in
fiuence and an unexplained reason sug-
gests a rational suspicion that whoever
breaks away from his tradition and his
tory is actuated by hatred of, or, at least
Indifference to his ancient country, and
changes his nationality in order to, while
continuing to enjoy the advantages of
Spanish legislation and the customs of
Spanish society, carry in the bottom of
his soul the ferement of separation, of
which Someillan is living and personal
example"
The tribunal also discarded all evidence
favorable to the prisoner saying that
there was ex-parte evidence of a complot
to misguide the tribunal.
Ell Pueblo. the organ of the autonomist
party in Puerto Principe has been sup
pressed by order of the government. The
editor of the paper Senior zequiera, a for
mer correspondent of La Discussion, and
other prominent persons of the locality

was arrested some months ago at Regla,

He Is Held in s2,5OO For violation Of
the Neutrality Laws.


New York, Jan. 4.-Gen. Carlos Roloff,
secretary of war of the Cuban republic
was arrested last night on a warrant
sworn out by the Spanish consul, charg-
ing him with violation Of the neutrality
laws in connection with the alleged fill
clustering expedition to Cuba on the steam
er Woodall, on June Is, 1896. Roloff was
locked up in Ludlow street jail over night
and brought before Commissioner Shields
this morning. The arrest came to the
knowledge of his friends so late that they
could not arrange for his release on bail.
They are indignant at the arrest having
been so timed as to render all efforts to
prevent his incarceration futile. Gen.
Rolon was arrested as he was leaving NO.
22 Fulton street, and taken to jail at once.
He had been Ill for some time. and when
his friends brought some medicine for
him to jail, he was not allowed to receive
II. the officials saying they could not give
A. TO him without an order from the mar
shall or somebody else-just who was to
issue the order the official failed to make
plain. Gen. Rolom looked worn and hag-
gard when he came before Commissioner
Shields shortly before IL o'clock this morn
ing. Arraigned with him upon a SINH
lar charge, was DR.. Joseph l.. Lusi. Each
pleaded not guilty, and was held under
S2. so bail for examination on Saturday.
Rail was furnished.

Atlanta. Ca, Jan. 1l.-Maj Peter Mel

MADDEN GIVES WAY TO MASON.
Little Also Withdraws From IIIi-
nois' Senatorial Race.

Little Also Withdrnws From AIit-
nois' Senatorial Race.
Springfield. ILL.,, Jan. 14.-The senatorial
fight reached white heat in the capital to-
day. The collapse of the Madden strength
had been fore-shadowed since early morn
ing, by the desertion of the machine by
nine Cook county members, notably rep
resentative Nohe. who is chairman OF the
House caucus, and was supposed to have
been elected in the interests of the Chica-
go alderman Just before o'clock to-
night the white flag of surrender was
raised by Madden in letter Withdrawing
from the race, and captivating I'm favor
Of his chief opponent. ex-Congressman
Mason of Chicago. The withdrawal of
Madden was quickly followed by similar
action on the part of Hon. David I. Lit
tie, who also retired from the contest in
favor of Mr.. Mason. This left the ex-
congressman by far the leader of the other
active candidates-Hon. Clarke Carson, r.
7. Hit and Samuel Wharton. Before the
withdrawal of Madden and Little, fifty
nine names were claimed for Mason by the
anti Madden committee of Chicago citi-
zens who came here to encompass his
defeat.
The surrender of Madden was forced
by the realization of his followers in
Cook county that the machine had not
the power to make him a United States
senator When this fact was driven home
TO wavering Madden men. they broke
from the control of the Cook county or
ganization.
Ernest G.. Schubert, the defeated Cook
county candidate for speaker, was on
hand to fire a warning gun into the camp
Of the Madden managers Speaking for
the twenty-four members who had stood
by him in the speakership fight, he noti-
fled Alderman Madden that he could no
longer control the Cook delegates.
Acting on the suggestion of Represen-
tative Schubert that the Cook county men
should get together and agree on some
man who could be nominated, a secret
caucus of that delegation was called inn
medlately after the Madden flag was low
cred, to agree on a course to be pursued.
The claim was made that Mason would
get fourteen of the freed Madden votes.
and that Cook county would unite on his
support rather than let the senatorship
go to the country.

INTERESTING NEWSPAPER NOV
elty.-The Marriage Journal. of Portland,
Oregon, a large, prosperous and reliable
looking eight-page paper, seems to have
met popular demand. 1t is devoted to
bringing about introductions of marriage
able people by mail, and contains over
five hundred descriptions of ladies and
gentlemen, some with means and some
without, who are seeking life partners.
The old idea that a maid or widow, young
man or widOwer, should waste the best
years of their lives in waiting, WAITING,
WAITING for some suitable person to come
along and marry them has been exploded,
and now the best people in the land, lead
ers of society with manageable daugh-
tiers, rich widows, shy and bashful young
men, and old bachelors are finding court
ship made easy for them by correspond
ence with patrons of The Marriage Jour
nal. Correspondence can be conducted
secretly, as the papers are sent securely
wrapped, with nothing on fine wrapper ex-
cept the address, and all correspondence
is strictly confidential. All classes are
advertisers in The Journal-lawyers, doc
tors, bankers, tradesmen, mechanics
farmers-in fact almost every calling is
represented. If you are lonely, or want to
better your condition, and have the pick
of hundreds for a life partner send 10 cents
in silver for a sample copy of The Marriage
Journal, of Portland, Or, and you will
never regret it.
