STORY OF THE CRIME.
Circumsta ncea Attending the Murder of
Pearl Bryan.

Cincinnati, O., March 20.-In the early
morning of February 1, 1896, boy going
to work discovered a dead body of a
girl in an obscure part of John Locks
farm adjoining Fort Thomas, Ky. The
murderers had cut off the girls head to
prevent Identification and removed it to
some place that has never yet been dis
covered.
The only garments on the body were q
union undersuit and a cheap checked
wrapper. A pair of shoes lay near, also
q kid glove, two hairplns, few strands
Of blonde hair. The shoes were a wom-
ans No. 3, and on them was an opera
toe rubber, well worn. Inside the shoes,
which were Of the needle-toe description,
was the stamp of Lewis & Hayes of

corset, spotless except from bloody finger
prints.
At the top of the bank where the feet
lay was a pool of blood. This spot was
in the gap of a privet hedge on which
remained dead leaves. On both sides
of these leaves, above and below, were
drops of blood. At the foot of the

dead girl. Bloodhounds were taken to
the spot and they t,llowed a trail to the
Covington reservoir and could be induced
to go DO further The reservoir was
drained, but the head was not found.
All subsequent search for that head has
been frutless.

daughter Of a. S. Bryan, well-to-do
farmer living near Greencastle. This
Identification of the girl was brought
about by Sheriff julie Plummer, Camp

slender clues furnished by the shoe and

the Winnipegs were loudly cheered in
return.
The Captain of the Winnipegs said
to the correspondent of the Associ-
ated Press Immediately after the race:
f'It was the best race we ever rowed,
and it is our first experience on the
Henley course. We ought to be sat
isfied with having rowed equal to the
old record. The only trouble was that
our rivals rowed four seconds better
than the record We were beaten by a
better crew. We tried our best at the
finish, but could not negotiate it. We
were pretty we'll pumped out in our
way, but we stayed the course"

INSURGENTS INVADE HAVANA.
THEIR FORCES MARCHING ON

Cubans Attack and Partially Burn
Cardenas-Eive Thousand Reb-
els in the Vicinity.

HAVANA, July 15.-The invasion OF
Havana province by insurgent forces
on their march westward is now an ac-
complished fact. The local papers are
prohibited from publishing even ac-
counts of Official victories in that
province, the object being to discredit
the news of unusual activity. General
Weyler may suppress news, but he
cannot conveniently hide wounded sol
diers, and these keep coming in
The "Herald's" correspondent at Ma
tanzas City writes that Colonel Alvarez
ArmandereZ, with seventy men, was
completely routed July 11th near Jag
uey Grande by insurgent General Car
lilo. The Spanish lost twenty killed
and about the same number wounded.
During the fight twenty-five of the
Spaniards deserted and went over to
the insurgents.
A report is current and generally be-
lieved in Matanzas that the insurgents
have attacked and partially burned
Cardenas. There are fully 5000 rebels
in the vicinity of MantanZas City and
Cardenas. General Molina left Matan-
zas with strong column. The owner
of the Alexander estate, near Nava-
jasa, has been ordered by the Span
iards to garrison his estate.
General WeylN has not succeeded in
capturing Gomez, and has evidently
given up the idea, for he has left Sane
ii Spiritus, and is now at Clenfuegos
on his way back to Havana. Gomez is
said to be in Matanzas, but there is
reason to believe that he is again di-
recting operations from headquarters
now established in Monteo Seuro, in

CUBAN AUTONOMY
MADRID, July 15.-Yesterday the
Federal party held the annual fete in
honor of the 10th anniversary of the
taking of the Bastfle in Paris.
Senior Margalle, the leader of the par
ty, addressed a large meeting and ex-
pressed the opinion that a steady revo-
luton was now in progress in favor of
Cuban autonomy. He said that if the
Federal Government wished to see Gu
ba pacified and the PHILIPPINES re-
turned to a condition of law and ord
er, they must assert their strength and
declare for independence.

SPAIN AND JAPAN.
Arrange an Offensive Alliance
Against the United States,

LONDON, July ia dispatch from
Paris to a newspaper here says that in
quiry at an American Embassy here
has elected a confirmation of the rumor
that the Governments of Spain and
Japan have arranged an offensive alli-
ance against the United States.
The terms of the understanding,
which is for the mutual protection of
Cuba and Hawaii, provide that in the
event of an active aggressive movement
on the part of the United States tending
to interference in Cuban affairs or per-
sistence in the annexation of the Ha-
waiian Islands, both Spain and Japan
shall declare simultaneously against
the United States, and shall make hos
tile demonstrations along both the At
lantic and Pacific Coast lines of that
country.
WASHINGTON, July 15.-Little Gre
dence is placed in official circles in the
statement that the Spanish and the
japanese Governments have entered
into an offensive alliance against the
United States for the mutual protection
of Cuba and Hawaii. Indeed so far as
can be learned tonight, no intimation
of such an agreement has ever reached
the State Department. Secretary Sher-
man was indisposed when a reporter
called at his house in regard to the mat
ter.
Mr. Day, First Assistant Secretary
discredited the report, and regarded it
as too improbable to discuss
THE State Department has no infor-
nation concerning the reported alli-
ance," he said, "and I don't believe that
there is any foundation for the state
ment that one has been entered into"
Both the Spanish and Japanese Minis
ters were away from the city.

TARIFF BILL.
Republican Conferrees in a More
Hopeful Mood.

WASHINGTON, July 15.-The tariff
conferreeS were in more hopeful MOOD
to-day than yesterday, and one OF the
leading representatives of the Senate
expressed the opinion at noon that the
Republicans would be able to conclude
their labors tomorrow and summon the
Democratic members by Saturday This
view, he said, was justified by the pres
ent appearance of things, but he added
that there were still more contingencies
that might arise to prevent so early an
agreement, and that it was impossible
to say precisely when the end would be
reached.
I'VE shall come out all right, how
ever, and l think soon," he added. I'VE
have tedious job, but it is not hope
less one, and there is no foundation to
the reports that we are in danger of not
reaching an agreement
The day was spent in considering mi
nor details of the bill which have been
passed over, with an occasional refer
ence to the differences on the sugar
schedule, which is still the stumbling
block. There was some discussion Of
a compromise on this schedule, and the
general impression about the Senate
was that the changed aspect of the COM
mittee was due to the fact that there
was a more yielding disposition on the
part of representatives of both houses.
Senators not in the conference, but in
close touch with the members of it, ex-
press the opinion that the contending
factions are very near an adjustment
which will compromise the differences
in the sugar schedule.
AT the House side, on the other hand,
among those i'll close touch with the
conferrees it is asserted with the most
postiveness that the House conferrees
have no intention of yielding anything
to the Senate on the schedule, and opin-
ion is freely expressed that the dead
lock would continue indefinitely until
the Senate yields. The House confer
rees, they say, know that they have
practically the unanimous support of
the House Republicans back of them,
and moreover, they claim that many
of the silver Republicans agree with
them on this point.
The committee made the discovery
that there would be still further diff
Guilty in arranging the wool schedule
ON account of the objections of the car
pet manufacturers.
The Democratic side of the chamber
is somewhat disturbed over the vacancy
caused by the death of Senator Harris.
II fear" said Senator Jones of Arkan-
sas to-day in discussing the question,
that the vacancy may, if not filled be-
fore that time, occasion no little en-
barrassment when we reach the vote
on the conference report"

ENDEAVORER TRAFFIC.
The Trouble Over Eastbound Rates
Believed to be Over.

CHICAGO, July 15.-The trouble
over the eastbound rates from the con-
vention of the Christian Endeavor at
San Francisco seems to be over, and
the chances are that Chairman Cald-
we'll will not find it necessary to re-
duce any rates after he reaches San
Francisco. All of the Colorado Utah
roads, with the exception of the Colo
rado Midland, have notified the Exec
utive Committee of the Western Pas
senger Association that they will not
allow the stop-overs on their tickets,
and it is not likely that the Colorado
Midland officials will be able to create
a very great amount of trouble.
The Southern Pacific, which had
agreed to allow stop-overs at Ell Paso
for such excursionists as desired to
make trip to the city of Mexico, has
announced that it will not allow them.
