WILD STORMS AT SEA.
Captain of La Bretagne Gives His
Experiences.

New York, March 9.-There was vigor
and wickedness in the weather which
the French line steamer La Bretagne
encountered in it's trip across the ocean.
1t left Havre a week ago last Satur-
day, and should have reached its pier
on Sunday, but did not dock until to-
day.
Captain NJ. Rupe, the commander,
says he has spent "a years on the
ocean, but for high seas and wind, the
trip just ended exceeded anything in
his previous experience. Rain, hail and
snow were frequently met and last
Saturday the entire combination fell
inside OF one hour. The ship came
through the succession of storms in
splendid shape, but plunged and rolled
a good deal, and the majority of the
354 passengers were seasick from start
to finish.
The Bretagne had on board the re-
mains of William H. Stewart, formerly
of Philadelphia, who died on February
Is at his residence in the Avenue d'Inez,
Paris.
Among the belated steamers is the
Cunarder Aurania. which left Liver
pool the day the Bretagne started from
Havre. The Aurania under ordinary
circumstances should have turned up
here on Sunday morning, but, UP to
late hour this afternoon no word had
come from it. Considering the fierce
ness of the gales at sea there is the
least bit of alarm over the ships nom
arrival. 1t is probable, however, COM
ing along slowly but safely The Au-
rama is an extra boat and is making
the trip in place of the Campania,
which is overhauiing on the other side
Some little uneasiness is felt for the
British tramp steamer Adra, which
started from Shields on February for
this port. 1t was due Is days ago.

Papa Hanna NAV Kick.

Washington. March 9.-The engage
ment of Mr.. Thomas x. Berry of To-
ledo, O., and Miss Mabel Hanna,
daughter of Senator and Mrs. Mark
Hanna, has not yet been formally ac-
knowledged. Mrs. Hanna was seen
today at the Arlington and was most
candid in her statement when asked
as to the truth of the publication. Mrs.
Hanna said:
While Mr.. Hanna and 1 feel per-
fectly satisfied with the warm friend
snip existing between our daughter
and Mr.. Berry, we are ayerse to any
public acknowledgement of the en-
gagement until we are more at leisure
to consider the matter. Not that there
is any objection to the gentleman in
question, who is all that we could de-
sire, but we would prefer to have the
young people wait awhile before be-
coming engaged. Doubtless the young
people are anxious to have the en-
gagement acknowledged, and with
youthful Impotence determined to
make it known among friends before
we left Ohio
Mr.. Berry is a civil engineer by pro-
fession.

FREE-HAND FIGHTING.
The Big Boy From Boston Delivers
an Opinion on It.

New York. March 9.-JOhn L. Sulli-
van IS still in town, but has made
nrenarations to leave for Carson early
next Saturday morning The big EEL
low saws he has not formed an opinion
DC TO whom he thinks will win the
contest between FitzsimmOns and Cor
bett. Sullivan, when he was asked
what he thought of free-hand fighting,
last night, said:
..E'ree-h hand fighting is all right. L
advocate it from beginning TO end.
when I was in the ring I always fought
that way When a man lights another
man and they come together 1t re-
mains his right to punch at his OPP
Moments body with one hand. if they
are not entirely locked. This is the
correct Interpretation of the Marquis
of Oueensbury rules AT the present
day. however, this rule is quite over
looked. aud l am surprised that some
clever referee did not see into it before
this. A fighter gets in his best work
this way, and his antagonist, If he IS
skiiIful can avoid the blows il he
throws his body in close and places his
elhow directly on the front OF his ad-
yersary's right hand.
mo matter what they say, this is the
way the Fitzsimmons-Corbe battle
will be fought. OF course the men
can agree the way they like, but if
they want to be consistent with the
laws of fistiania as laid down by the
MARQUIS. 1 cannot see how they can
hattie otherwise.
Sullivan's friends propose to give him
quite a send-off when he leaves on
Saturday. He expects to reach Carson
the day before the big fight.

IN OLD BAHIA.
A Place Where the Life of a News
paper Man is Liable to Grow Dull
and Uninteresting.

Rio Janeiro. March 9.-The excite
ment occasioned here by the receipt
of the news yesterday of the defeat and
death of Colonel Moreira Caesar and
200 of his soldiers by band of fanatics
under Conselheiro at Canudas, in the
state of Bahia, on March 3, has some
what abated. though the streets are
still filed with people who only need
a determined leader to incite them to
renewed disorder. The attack upon the
officers of the three monarchist news
papers at Sac Paulo, and one in this
city, all of which were wrecked and
pillaged and afterwards set on fire,
was caused by the belief of the mobs
that the monarchists were assisting
Conselheiro. Colonel Gantal Castro,
director of the monarchist newspapers
Gazeta de Tarde and Libertade, whose
offices were burned, has been assassin
ated and Viscount Oraphreto, mon
archist, was also attacked but es-
capped with slight injuries. The offices
of the newspapers of mOnarchist Opin-
ions are being guarded by troops.

New York March "a Sun special
from Washington says: President Nc
Kinley has decided that he will not hurry
the matter of appointments to office, and
also that he will not recognize the candi-
dates of a faction in any state.
He announced this purpose to more than
one congressman who called yesterday.
Until yesterday morning everybody be-
heved that former Representative Bell
amy Storer of Cincinnati would be ap-
pointed assistant secretary of state, and
ali other aspirants for that office directed
their attention elsewhere. Mr.. Storer
himself said last week that the matter
was settled and that he expected Mr..
Sherman to announce the appointment at
any moment. Last night Senator For
aker declared his intention to oppose the
confirmation of Mr.. Storer in the senate,
and President Mckinley, recognizing the
right of Mr.. Foraker TO be consulted con-
corning appointments for Ohio, as he is
from that state, promptly turned Mr..
Storsr down. Senator Mason of Illinois
ran against the anti-faction resolution
the White House with a bundle of recon-
mendations for Office and attempted to
leave them with the president.
Has Senator Cullom endorsed these
papers?" asked the president.
No" replied Senator Mason, frankly,
che has not"
Then 1 wish you would take them
away" said the president land go over
them with him before you bring them to
me again. 1 would suggest that you go
over the ground together and agree
among yourselves as to what you want
before bringing them here"

In THE MONTH OF MAY
An Authority Who Says Cuba
Will be Free Then.

New York. March 10.-The SUMS
correspondent in Havana sends the
following:
In the month of May Spain's sinews
of war will be exhausted and she Will
be obliged to give up the struggle in
Cuba, abandoning the island to the in
surgents.
Such, at least, is the substance of all
the news and the opinion received here
from Madrid in private letters TO lead
ing Spaniards who have important
connections with the court
Senior Romero Robledo, who wrote
one OF the letters, says the situation
in his opinion is extremely critical.
General Martinez Campos says in
another letter that the Cubans are
now stronger than ever. and that to
crush the revolution Spain needs to
make three times as great an effort
as now, which means 100000 men and
400,0OOOOO. Can such an effort be
made? Martinez Campos says hat
the answer will be given by those who
know the real situation in Spain
For reforms or home rule he adds,
1T is too late"
All the officers in the Spanish army
now in Cuba who belonged to the
Carlist army during the last var in
vices from the agents of Don Carlos
that their military rank will be recog-
nized by the king" and they viii re-
ceive promotion in case they return to
the service of their rig.htful sover-
eign.''
From reliable sources the correspo1-
dent is able TO say that the agents of
Don Carlos are working with great
energy in Cuba among the old Carlist
element. A scheme for a general M
rising in the peninsula was planned
few months ago and was ready 20 be
carried out when Don Carlos daughter
ran away with a married man in italy
This incident, from the royalist point
of view, worked much injury for the
time to the Carlist cause, and it was
decided to wait a few months. Now
the time is considered ripe and Spain
will probably become once more the
scene of q civil war
In consequence of the critical con1i-
ton of affairs the central government
has notified General Weyler that 10
more reinforcements are to be expect
ed from Spain. Moreover, no more
money is to be expected for Cuba after
May 1, because the government las

RELATIONS OF THE LINES
NO GENERAL AGENT FOR THE
U. P. YET APPOINTED.
That is the Announcement From
Headquarters at Omaha-The
Western Union to Be Separated
From the Union Pacifc-Confer-
ence Rates-General Notes.

All reports to the contrary notwith
standing, there has been no appoint
ment as yet of a general agent for the
Union Pacific here. The selection of
such representative has been awaited
with interest in local circles. Notwith-
standing that with the Union Pacific
system stripped of its great branches
and having only the trunk line be-
tween Ogden and Omaha, this position
will not be of so much Importance
after March Is. it will still be the most
important offered by that company in
this field, and many hoped to see it
filled by a local man. The idea that
an appointment had been made may
have come through the mention of
other names in connection with minor
positions.
A special to The Herald direct from
the special correspondent at Omaha
last night stated: mo general agent
has yet been appointed for the Union
Pacific"
Inasmuch as the segregation takes
place next Monday night, it is evident
that this appointment cannot be De-
layed and it is likely that it will be
announced at Omaha today.

newspapers. The mental strain to which
these men are subjected has never
been mentioned. 1t is something that
cannot be felt by the ordinary man
who has not striVen to rise to that
sublime height from which he may
look down on the millions at his feet
and exelaim: 7 am greater than all
theser
1.-The effect of worry and uncertainty
on the organs Of these men is greater
than any work they may do to get
them in condition. 1t takes more flesh
off their bones than do ten-mile runs
The question simply is, how long can
they stand and retain their strength?
The mental strain on Corbett must be
tremendous, the more so because the
bulk of the worry always falls on the
man who carries the odds. He feels
the responsibility more than the other
man. He knows that hundreds of
thousands of dollars are being staked
on him bv friends who have faith In
his ability, and he naturally broods
over the possibility of defeat and what
he considers the betrayal of those who
stand bv him.
Il do not think that Fitzsimmons
can be so easily affected; his nature
is different from COrbettS. He is jo-
vial and of buoyant spirits and he has
not so much at stake as his oDDonent,
who has tasted the sweets of cham
nionship and naturally hates to re-
linquish them. Then, too, he has less
to cause him uneasiness. Take the
betting for instance. The men who
are backing him are, on an average,
putting up $50 to 500. Fitzsimmons
can look al them and say: 4 thank
YOU for your confidence, but am I'M
der no obligations to you

WESTERN UNION.
Separation of the Telegraph Com
pany From the Union Pacific.

Omaha, Neb., March Son March
10, or therea bouts, Judge Munger, of
the federal court will select a date on
which the actual separation of the
Union Pacific Railroad company from
the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany will take place. United States
Attorney Sawyer today made motion
before Judge Munger for the filing of
a supplemental decree to the decree
originally made by the United States
circuit court in the famous case of the
United States against the Union Pacific
company and the Western Union Tele-
graph company, begun in 1881. The
supplemental decree is in conformity
with the mandate of the United States
supreme court in the case filed in
February, 1896
When the date is set the Union Pa
cific Railway company, by its agents
and employees, and not through the
fundamentally of the Western Union
Telegraph company, will exercise all
the duties created by the telegraph
franchise of the acts of 1862 and 1864,
and the later company is directed to
vacate all offices of the railway COM
pany.
The extent of this decision opens
wires, Offices and connection of the
Union Pacific Railway company to all
persons and corporations on equal
terms and destroys the monopoly of
the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany along the line of the Pacific rail-
roads 1t increases the wires accessi-
bic to the Postal Telegraph company
alone, nearly 1000 miles.
j. J. Dickey, western manager of
the Western Union, said today that
absolutely nothing had been done by
his company toward getting its prop
erty if the railroad company separated
and Judge Morsnan for the telegraph
company said that the work could not
be done inside of a year. 1t is a pro-
vision that the work must be done
without Gripping or interfering with
the operation of the railroad. When
the first decision in the case was
rendered, not a large proportion of the
telegraph equipment on the line of the
road was owned by the railway COM
pany, but in the last few years, antici-
pating that the final decision might be
unfavorable the railroad company has
been building up its lines but almost
every instrument in the stations along
the road is owned by the Western
Union and the greater part of the
wires. 1t must now do its work with
its own operators and in its own of
fees. The broad effect of the decision
is that the functions OF the telegraph
company and the railroad company
must be absolutely distinct and
separate.

from Washington says:
Secretary Sherman has cabled to Consul

mand or request he may make of the
Spanish authorities in Cuba will be sup
ported by the power of the United States
government.
The first dispatch received by the new
secretary of state from General Lee out
side of routine. came Yesterday 1t was
brief and simple. asking what he could
expect in the way of being relieved from
further service at Havana. and calling
attention to a desire heretofore expressed
that he might be permitted TO return
home.
Secretary Sherman took the dispatch to
the executive mansion afterwards and
cabled to General Lee, requesting him to
continue at his post, explaining that no
one has been selected as his successor
and it would be inconvenien- consider
that matter for some time. He was as
su-ed of fair treatment by the new adj
ministration, and told that his remaining
as consul general would be regarded by
the president as personal favor.
