KENTUCKY

Sturgis. KY, April 15.-Oficers from
Darlington came here on the track Of
two tugitives, one named Gus Hit, alias
Hall and West Cody, a tough miner OF
Darlington, for whom large rewards are
offered. Late this afternoon Constable
Henry Hammock, James Green and
William Bosom started to arrest the men
at Dekoven. When called to halt Cody
threw up his hands, but Hite began to
fire on the posse, killing green and
shooting Bosom through the stomach
and breast. Bosom may die. One Of the
fugitives wore a steel breast plate. Ham
mock escaped with his coat full Of bull
let holes.
The two men escaped in the hills, and
a large crowd from Sturgis. Caseyville
and Dekoven have gone with Winches-
tiers to capture the fugitives il possible.
As 1t is dark the posse will be at q dis
advantage. One Of the murderers was
shot in the leg by Bosom before the latter
fell. Gree was first shot in the leg, and
as he dropped and started to fire at his
assailant the latter shot him through
the head. Great excitement prevails.

UNOFFICIAL NOTIFICATION.

UNOFFICIAL NOTIFICATION.
New York, April 15.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says:
The policy Of the administration in
reference to Cuba is not likely to be
criticized, as was that OF Its predecessor,
on the score Of Indifference to the rights
OF American citizens. Secretary Sher-
man, unlike Mr.. Olney, will see to 1t that
imprisonments OF suspects entitled to
protection of the United States for an
Indefinite period Of time is nc Longer
INDUCED in by Spanish onicials in Cuba.
He will even go farther and make II
plain to the Spanish authorities that
they cannot, in the closing decade of
the nineteenth century, be permitted to
carry on war upon principles utterly at
variance with modern civilization. In
short, notice has been served on the
Spanish government-informally, as
yet, but still in unmistakable terms
that this government recognizes a state
OF civil war on the island of Cuba,
which demands a treatment Of prisoners
taken In action by either side somewhat
different from that which seems to have
been accorded to them thus far.
The immediate of this notice be-
ing served on the Spanish government
was. Of course. the capture Of Captain
General Rivera, and the report that he
would be forthwith tried by drumhead
court martial and shot.
The president. Immediately after the
news OF the fate in store for the pris-
oner was received, directed Secretary
Sherman to draw up a protest against
the contemplated action Of Captain
General Weyler. Upon second consid-
Grafton, however. the protest took a less
formal shape. Instead of being deliver
ed to the Spanish minister in writing
Senior De LONE was cent for by the SEC
rotary of state and informed as to the
views of the government in the matter.
This verbal protest, it Is safe to assume,
was no less explicit than that which
Secretary Sherman had previously draft
ed. At any rate, 1t had Its effect. for
General Rivera Is still living.

sHREDS BY SPANISH TROOPS
IN CUBA.
The Estate Of a British Vice-Consul's
Wife Invaded-A Full Report Will
Be Made and the Matter Brought
Directly to the Attention Of the
British and American Governments.

New York, April ia dispatch to
the Herald from Sagua La CRANE, via
Key West, says:
News has just reached here OF an
outrage perpetrated near the town Of
Encorucijada by Spanish troops, who
destroyed the property owned by the
wife Of the British vice consul, Mr..
Harris Of Sagua. and tore up an Ameri-
can flag which the manager of the es-
tate, Mr.. George Harris, who is an
American citizen, had draped over his
bed.
The estate of Mrs. Harris, called La
Palma, Is about two miles from En-
crucijada. During Mr.. Harris absence
the regiment Estremadura came along,
burst open the locked doors and remov-
ed the day book and other articles Of
value. Finding the flag in the a
ayers bed room, the soldiers carried 1t
out with many epithets and tore it to
bits. Being satisfied with their veng-
eance upon the bit Of bunting in the
absence Of its owners. they departed.
The matter was reported to Mr.. Harris
on his return. and he promptly laid it
before the British and American con-
sular representatives in sagua, who will
cause a thorough investigation.
1t is said that the Spanish assert that
they had e insurgents leaving the
estate. but this Is denied by the man
ager. The American consuls at Sagua,
his friends say, will make a full report
on the flag incident. He Is Mr.. Baker,
one Of the most vigorous American rep
resentatives on the island.

SUNDAY AT THE PARKS
The Grass Was Too Wet for Many
People

The rain Saturday night was RESPONSE
BILE for diminishing the number Of visit
ors to the various city parks yesterday.
Though the sun was bright and the air
was balmy. the muddlness of some
streets was too much for certain fine
equipages that are usually seen on Sum
day afternoon drives. OF the private
rigs that would not be ruined by spat-
ters of mud and the livery rigs that are
irured to such hardship, there were
many. The crowd at Westlake park
where the Seventh regiment band played
sweet music, seemed almost as large as
usual, but there were chain barriers
across the drives entering the park pre-
venting all driving within the beautiful
precincts. After rains these chains are
always stretched across the entrance
to the park to prevent the driveways
being cut up by carriage wheels and hoof
prints. The pedestrians were not quite
as numerous, for the dampness of the
ground took away the charm of lounging
upon the grass. The music was as good.
the sky was as bright. the lake as beau
tiful and the foliage of the trees and the
hues of the flowers were even brighter.
Eastlake park had its usual number of
visitors by carriage, though the number
going thither by street car was smaller
than usual. There was no music yes
terday. and the couples and groups that
ordinarily decorate the expansive green
Sward were absent altogether or occu-
pying less picturesque quarters on the
settees along the shaded promenades.
In Elysian park there was a constant
stream of vehicles of various kinds going

THE COUNCIL
It VIII Meet at the Usual Hour This
Morning-The Health Board


The city council will meet at the usual
hour this morning for the regular trans
action of business. The new members
have been busy during the past week ia
miliarizing themselves with details and
posting up on matters that are likely to
come before them, and there will be no
delay.
1t is probable that Mayor Snyder will
send in the names of his appointees on
the health board. There has been some
talk during the week of possible con-
ilict between the executive ard the
council, owing TO the conflict in the char
ter, but it is believed that this matter
has been amicably adjusted, as was the
case when Mayor Rowan was elected.
The mayor has decided upon the ap-
pointees. in fact his mind has been made
up for several days. but ie has declined
to give out the names in advance of his
official notification to the council. 1t is
not probable that there will be any
change in the building superintendent 5
office before the 1st of February. nor
will the names of the library trustees
be sent in for some time, as the present
board will probably continue in office
until the 1st of April.

AFRICAN p. e. CHURCH.
Opposition to It's Formation Being
Manifested.

Man1te0tc0s
Some opposition has sprung up among
those directly interested to the proposed
formation of the African Protestant Epis-
copal Church, the headquarters Of which
movement are in Washington. One of those
directly concerned said to Star reporter:
with the fullest appreciation of the ex-
listing difficulties, We must beware of Great
ing greater difficulties. This project, at
least in the shape it is at present, Is Of a
revolutionary character Whatever may be
said of diocesan episcopacy. as essential
or non-essential, it is certain that such a
thing as two bishops exercising Jurisdiction
over the same territory, independently Of
each other. even though it be of different
races, is an unheard-of thing.
IT Is excluded by the whole trend Of
cancn law from the beginning, and this is
because 1t is in itself violation of the
principle of unity. and must almost inevita-
bly, lead ON to actual dsunion
If we look at what is practicable 1t is
hardly to be supposed that any number Of
diocesan bishops will sanction such a step,
which violates their right of jurisdiction
and seems to tend directly to the formation
of distinct and separate organization. II
any are Indifferent it may be because, not
holding strongly to the Catholic principle
OF unity. they are willing to entertain the
ldea OF separate church for colored men,
1t Is possible there may be safer and bet
ter plan, If not quite SO ambitious
w men the time comes for the appoint
ment OF colored men as bishops, why might
1t not be as suffra gans within the diocese
as already constituted? 1t is proposed, it
IS stated, TO bring up the subject of suf-
Iragan bishops at the next general conven-
uon, which meets here next year. 1t would
require no great change to permit such
bishops to be constituted, and on account
OF the relations of suffragan to his do
cesar, no principle is violated and some
risks are avoided"
