Lewis sent for Judge Hall this morning
and told him that the confession which
he had made to him was false and un-
true. Judge Hall had promised him
that if he would confess and tell all

Lewis denied his former story j go
Hall took back his promise to save

rnr sIsrrRsvILLE MYSTERY

The murder mystery which has been
exciting Sistersville for the past week
or so. has been cleared up partially by
the apprehension Of the supposed muir
derer yesterday through a description
Of him published in the Register.
This supposed crime was one Of the
most peculiar and unaccountable on
record. The murdered man. if muir
dered ne was. must have been made
away with. according TO the popularity
accepted version Of the crime. some
where in Pennsylvania. through which
country the supposed murderer tray
eled with his wagon and its horrible
burden. The uraccountable part of the
story as far as it has developed is; why,
supposing the alleged murderer TO have
been sane, did he haul the body all
this distance till il rotted in his. wagon,
when he could easily have disposed Of
il and rid himself Of every evidence
Of the alleged crime in the wilderness
Of the country through which he
passed. Why did he bring with him
10 Sistersville. where he must have
known the supposed murdered man
was expected, not only his corpse, but
the tell-tale letters and watches which
were found on the supposed murderer
yesterday?
From this surface evidence it would
appear 10 be the act Of an unbalanced
mind. Further developments in this re-
markable mystery viii be awaited with
great deal Of interest.

u,k1xLEy,s CUBAN POLICY AT LAST

VI
An English newspaper. the London
Globe. on what it states is good au-
thority. quotes President Mckinley as
saving that he will follow Mr.. Cleve-
lands Cuban policy.
Here We have it at last. And what
pray. was Mr.. Cleveland's Cuban pol
lev. but the policy Of turning deaf
ear and a blind eye TO the situation in
Cuba. a policy Of do-nothingness, of
utter inactivity and disregard Of the
ptiful mute appeals Of suffering, pa
triotic Cuba. for recognition, a policy
which complacently contemplated
Spanish tyranny. cruelty and barbarous
outrage and murder not only upon
Cuba. but upon citizens of the United
States. in that unfortunate island
without a protest.
President Mckinley has come TO the
end sf his string Of excuses for his in
activity. and now We are told-eyi-
IDENTIFY on excellent authority. for Il
seems to be the fact-that he proposes
10 take refuge behind Clevelands pre-
ceden,.
Cleveland and Mckinley are two very
different men. and although their poll
cies with regard 70 Cuba are precisely
similar. they sprang from very differ
emf motives-in Cleveland's case from
dull. careless, sodden cynicism; but in
McKiuley's case from a cowardly fear
Of the consequences Of patriotic action.
Cleveland had no Cuban policy, neither
has Mckinley. despite. all his porten-
tious preparations and high sounding
promises Of what he would do when the
time came.
This is as the people surmised. IN
fact. the country has been informed
from Washington that "the point has
not yet been reached where it could
be said that the executive had fully de-
termined upon any certain plan Of &C
ton"
In other words. Mckinley has no
Cuban policy and he would prefer that
the people would talk about the tariff,
or Hawaii. or anything at all. rather
than poster him with queries as TO
what he proposes 70 90 about Cuba.
Even the excuse given for the ap-
pointment Of Gen. Woodford as minis
ter to Spain has been abandoned. He
was. selected because he was ready 10
20 at once 10 Madrid. which the Presi-
dent greatly desired. Now it is denied
that any such haste is necessary or
will be used. In fact. Gen. Woodford
is represented as being no better in
formed about the affairs he is expected
to manage than the average, newspaper
reader. il as well, and he is going 70
Washington to begin serious study
of the history of the present insurrec-
ton from its very beginning 1t is TO
be hoped he will not take the Secretary
OF State for his instructor.
Let us hope that Gen. Woodford will
prove bright scholar and be ready to
leave school by the time the President
has made up his mind Now that the
Hawaiian annexation treaty has been
pigeonholed until winter the President
may be able TO shut up his long range
glass through which he has been study
ing an island 1000 miles away from the
United States. and look at what is 60
ing on upon another island right under
his nose.

definite and tragmentary, and it is difficult
to follow the varying movements of the
British forces, which are apparently
divided in consequences of the quickly
changing gatherings of the tribesmen. /.

to the forces OF the insurgents and of the
appearance of various fanatics, who are
end eavoring to stir those tribesmen who
are reluctant TO join the revolt. to attack
the British. : i. r.: ~
There is every probability that an att
tack Will be made by the British: at some
point within few days. The attack upon

istan, is not OF: great importance. The
station at Gazarbund is a small one. ...> +.
Word comes from Quetta, Beloochistan,
to the effect that the militia there has
become disaffected, but the rumor is not
credited in Government circles. ....
