SANGUILY RETURNS.
He Says He Had No Intention of Go
ing to Cuba.

New York, April 13.-Genera1 Julio
Sanguily, accompanied by his son, ar
rived in this city last night, from Flor
ida, and went at once to the house of
his brother-in in-law, ,Edelberte Fares In
an interview he said: When I start
ed about ten days ago for a trip south,
it was in search of warmer weather. as
the damp atmosphere then prevailing
in this city was very annoying to me,
troubled as I am with rheumatism, and
old wounds 1t was not, as reported, to
go to Cuba. Interviews with me as
printed by some papers did not take
place as alleged. The fact is, I did
not meet any newspaper men during
my trip. The remark attributed to me
by one paper to the effect that [ did
not expect any action in behalf of Cuba
from the present administration could
not be further from my own opinion.
I earnestly believe that the McKin-
ley administration will do its duty
toward Cuba"
When asked his opinion regarding
the probable fate of General Ruiz Riv-
era, Sanguily said: I do not believe
the Spanish government will shoot him.
They certainly fear the effect it would
cause in this country 1t is about time
that Spain should be made to under
stand that she must carry on warfare
in Cuba in a civilized manner
General Sanguly said he had not yet
decided upon any plan for the future.

WAS NOT A GOOD DAY
But Jersey City Has Two Hangings
This Morning.

He married Mary Connors five years
ago. He was out of work most of the
time and was not welcomed at his
wife's home, where she lived with her
parents. After he had been refused
admittance to the house on the day
of the murder, he secured a gun and
returning shot his wife and her mother
and almost succeeded in killing his
father-in-laW. He was arrested and
cut his throat the same night with a
razor he had concealed in his shoe.
Macl1in recovered and pleaded guilty,
but according to New Jersey proceed
ings this plea was not accepted.
Paul GEM was hanged at 11:10 n. m.
Paul Genz killed his mistress, Clara
Arnim, in Hoboken, August 2S, 1894.
He was born in Prussia in 1867 and
came to America in March, 1894. He
was employed as a foreman on a steam
ship plying between Hamburg and HO-
bOken. During his absence Clara Ar
MIN made the acquaintance of Ber-
nard Stencil, who supplanted GEM in
her esteem.

POLICE IN CADET GREY.
New Uniforms Ordered for the Force;
Copied After Cincinnati.

Topeka's metropolitan police force
will soon be uniformed in the latest
style
The board of police commissioners has
closed a contract with the Hub Clothing
company of this city for uniforms for
all the men. 1t will be an exact copy
of the Cincinnati metropolitan police
uniform. The coat will be of dark
use in the past. The trousers will be of
cadet grey with black stripe down the
side. A helmet of cadet grey will COM
plete the suits. A number of new clubs
just the right length and weight are
being turned out by a Topeka firm and
the stars will be frightened up a bit.
The detectives viii of course wear citi-
zenS' clothes.
AS yet no steps have been taken to-
ward have the policemen drilled, but it
is probable that it will be done Some
of the policemen couldn't keep step for

JOS Tips: The wheat market certainly
should improve. Cables from the other
side indicate that some strong interests
are giving their attention to wheat and it
can be said without any fear of contra
diction that the good men of Chicago and
St. Louis have turned bulls on wheat, be-
lieVing May option will enjoy a decided
substantial advance. Higher prices for
wheat with or without war news. will
necessarily mean better prices for stocks:
The more money that passes into farmers
hands the greater are generally the bsne-
fits to be derived. Every cent advance IN
wheat markets from now on should mean
increased strength, especially for Grang-
erS. Wheat is a purchase St PauI as
a regular dividend paying stock. IS llKely
TO sell in the neighborhood of 80 and
there is no good reason for looking Tor or
anticipating any decline of moment In q
Puts are offered very near market on

limits for a month or longer for per

It is seldom a speaker is favored with
a more appreciative audience than the

Although past the prime of life, DR.
O'Leary is still the active and enthusi-

things, eating as well as in drinking.
His lecture last night was a plea for
reform in our modern system of edu-
cation, recommending a more practical
and useful line of studies, one in which
the young will be better prepared for
the realities of business life. The

When "a Tenor Would Not Sing.

Two years of hard work at Drury
Lane satisfied Sims Reeves Of Lis sue
cess, and he went off to the continent,
bent on having his voice still bet; er cul-
tiv&ted. First he got all he could from
Signcr Bordogni in Paris; then he start
ed for Milan, where he placed himself
under MazzuCato, then director of the
Conservative. Here he studied hard ard
led on the whole joyous life. 1t was
in the days Of the Austrian tyranny, Of
which the English tenor soon had a
taste. He had secured an engagement at
La Scala, the most celebrated opera
house in Italy, and one night he had to
intimate his inability to sing, owing to
a sore throat. The doctor inspected his
larynx and declared that he could sing
if he liked. He still refused and q
squad Ct gcrdarnes accordingly called
at his lodgings with carriage and car
ried him off to the tLoater. However, as
the old saying goes, you may take q
horse to the water, but yOu cannot make
him drink. The gondarmes led the tenor
to the stage, but that was the extent of
their powers. They failed to make him
sing. -Gentleman' IS Magazine.

Tempting Death for Coin

indianapolis, Ind -, August 6.-The
determination of the leading life in
companiee to carry no risks

money for contingent expenses, ell of
them to cooperate in the search for
gold, dividing equally with the com
paDy, and in case of death, the insur-
ance to be paid to the company.
BY each death the company stood to
win $500, on the bases hat no more
thao 81 800 would he spent on each
representative.
