ed to remind those southern democrats
who are again becoming vociferous in
favor of Intervention in behalf of Cuba"
that more than quarter of the Cubans,
including some of the most prominent
leaders of the insurgents, are "niggers."
The democrats might reciprocate by re-
minding the Tribune and the republican
party that very much larger proportion
of the inhabitants of Hawaii, whom 1t is
proposed shall be annexed without asking
their consent, are "niggers." The south
ern democrats who favor the cause of the
Cuban insurgents desire that the Cuban
'niggers' shall have liberty, while the re-
publicans who wish to rope in Hawaii,
without the consent of the natives, are
desirous of depriving the Hawaiian mig

He Is Denied an Appeal by the
State Supreme Court.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 11.-Anoth-
er murderer has been refused a new
trial by the Supreme Court of this
State in a decision handed down this
morning. Joseph Hubert of Calaveras,
who i'll a particularly old-blooded and
wanton manner shot his wife, has been
denied an appeal taken some months
ago by his attorneys.
The crime was committed on April
19, 1895, and when brought to trial
Hubert set up the defense of insanity.
In discussing the case, Judge Temple.
who wrote the opinion in which the
other Justices concurred, said that
while the evidence adduced tended to
show insanity, it was clear that the
criminal act was not the offspring of
insanity, but of the natural passions of
the defendant.
Upon the day of the homicide Hubert
had been employed in his wine cellar
with three other men. At the noon hour
all went to lunch together at the home
Of the defendant He deliberately
tasted the soup twice, and. then go
ing into another room, procured a pis-
tol, with which he returned and shot
his wife in the head.
For some months prior to the honi-
eide Hubert had been at outs with
his wife, and had treated her most bru-
tally. Often he had threatened to
take her life, and declared that she
had tried to poison him. He had been
heavy drinker. After his most delib-
crate act had been completed, Hubert
surrendered himself to the Constable
saying that he had murdered his wife
and, 40 doubt would have to pay for
it, but that he was by no means sorry
for his deed
