habitants once month for the purpose
of drilling them, and examining thsir
arms and ammunition. The firing of
three guns and the beating of a drum
was the signal for calling the people
together in the market place with their
musketH, for the defence of the town at
the command of the officers.

OVER CLHvHLAND's VETO.
A Member Fenced Out by Thurber IL

Friday was private bill day In the house
and most Of the time was consumed with
small bills. The bill TO provide for holding
terms OF the United States court OF the east
erndlstrlct Of Texns nj tho town Of Bcnn-
mont was passed over tho presidents Scto
by n vote OF 1i5 to Gs. Incidental to tho dis
cussion Mr. Cooper of Tcxas declared the
president vetoed tho bill through n misnpprc-
hension. He explained tho necessities which
existed for tho enactment OF tho measure.
He said tho first objection 10 the bill that he
had ever heard Of came from the President.
He rocounted, as he sali with somo hhmllia-
ton, that he had scyclsl times called upon
Mr. Cleveland to present thc reasons why II
should DC signed or 10 meet nny objections
which the president might r1iso but ho hal
been denied admission to Mr.. Cleveland. On
tho occasion OF his last visit he said ho had
been informed by Private Secretary Thurbcr
that 10 would DO useless for him to SEQ tho
president as Mr.. Cleveland had already made

patched few minutes later by the machete.
A sick American in one OF the buildings,
assisted by two wounded Cubans, raised the
stars and stripes. This act infuriated the
Spanish commander, and was made the sig
nal for u general charge. The work OF
Spanish bayonets and machetes was short
and bloody. Not prisoner was taken; not
even women nurses were spared. The gov

ALL AGREED ON COERCION.
Salisbury Brought tho Powers to Consent
to His Turkish Program.

The official correspondence concerning
the reforms in Turkey shows that on Sep
tember % Lord Salisbury proposed that tho
powers take measures to enforce .aeir pro-
posals and that In the event of upfJlingness
on the part OF any power TO asspse its share
in coerciye measures. that powes fhould not
oppose the action Of any other. Austria gave
her assent without qualification, and Germany
assented with the proviso that any coercive
action taken by the powers against Turkey
must be unanimous and that the integrity OF
the Ottoman Empire must be maintained.
Italy gave her absolute assent to the propos-
nj, but Russia objected to any schemo which
involved the application OF coercion In re-
ply, Lord Salisbury expostulated with the
Russian Minister saying that 1t would be use
less for the powers to make further concert
ed representations to the Porto In regard to
reforms unless they were prepared to en-
force their proposals.
On November "a, NJ shishbin wrote 10
Lord Salisbury. saying that she Gear had
agreed to consider the question OF coercion
II the Sultan should provo recalcitrant and
the other powers were unanimous In favor
OF resorting to coercion. About the end OF
December, France gave similar assent to
measures OF coercion, and the Sovernrnents
OF Russia, Austria and Italy reallrmed their
their adhesion to that plan Of ac.ipn-
