Russian extraction and Balkan morality,
but, even so, Milan's pace had become q
trifie too uncanny for her. From the day OF
the chorus arrival dated the acute quarrel
which ended In Natalie's expulsion from
Servia and Milan's abdication in favor OF
his son.
Of course, Milan did not abdicate free of
charge. That was not his royal highness's
style He was paid for it. He was paid
for abdicating and keeping his disreputable
person out of Servia then and forevermore.
He consoled himself with the fortune his
abdication brought him by carousing in
Paris. Nice and London. He gambled to his
hearts content until he was put out of
Paris club for cheating at cards. Then he
betook himself to a dancer who has made
herself as notorious here as in five capitals
abroad, and lavished the wages of his alb
dication on her. It was a gay season while
it lasted, but when it ended Milan was
again a financial ruin. At once he threat
ened to go back to Servia. His son, King
Alexander, paid him TO stay away. Others,
too have helped pension him, but not in
way to suit his extravagant tastes. A man
accustomed to chartering whole chorus
and gaming away half a million in week
was not to be satisfied With couple OF hum
dred thousand a year. Nevertheless, he
patched along with 1t in retirenen lead
ing such quiet life that the gay CONT
mental world would have forgotten him but
for the broad red streakS which he had left
from Paris to st. Petersburg and from vi
emma to Nice

Large Part of $l5,OOO,OOO Probably
Left to Charitable Institutions.

PARIS, Nov. 23-It is now believed that
the late DR.. Thomas W. Evans, the famous
American dentist, who facilitated the flight
of the ex-Empress Eugene from Paris in
1870, and who died here on the evening of
Nov. IA last, left most of his large fortune
to found charitable institutions bearing his
name.
1t is understood that DR.. Evanss estate
is even greater than the estimates of it dur
ing his lifetime and that it will probably be
valued at not much below SIS, 200. He
made his will at Davos PlatZ and it was
reported shortly after his death that the
greater part of the fortune would go to en-
dow educational institutions in this coun-
try He had no children, but there are a
few nephews and nieces, most of them re-
siding in Philadelphia, who may be heirs
to portion of his estate. At one time DIR.
Evans contemplated establishing a museum
of art in Philadelphia or New Haven in
connection with Yale. He proposed to place
in it paintings, jewelry/and bric-a-brac to
the value of q million dollars, the orna-
ments of his Paris residence. 1t was also
understood at one time that he intended to
found a home for impoverished French
mobiles in Minneapolis, and to erect educa-
tional institutions in Chicago and Indian
apols In University of Pennsylvania cir
Dr. Evans proposed leaving a large part of
his fortune either to found a new dental
college in Philadelphia or to endow one of
those already established preferably the
dental department of the University of
Pennsylvania.

THE CUBAN "REPUBLIC."
Result of the Election for President,
Vice President and Cabinet.

HAVANA, via Key West. Fla, Nov. 3d.
The new government of the republic OF
Cuba has been constituted as follows: Pres
ident, Bartolome Masso; Vice President,
Domingo Mendez Capote; secretary of war,
Aleman; secretary of finances. Fontes-
Sterling; secretary of foreign relations,
Morenode la Tore; secretary of interior,
De Sula. The election was held at Quay
marillo, Puerto Principe, Nov. T. and rep
resentatives Of all six states were present.
The official news was delayed in reaching
here, because 1t was sent by g. speclaI
agent, who had to cross the Spanish lines
at the Jucaro-Moron trocha and be escorted
by Cuban troops through the provinces OF
Puerto Principe, Santa Clara, Matanzas and
Havana. The election was orderly, and
Masso triumphed by large majority: Gen.
Calixto Garcia, Salvador Ctsneros Betan-
court and Domingo MendeZ Capote also re-
ceived votes for the presidency. This cleo
ton, so safely and peacefully made by dep
uties from all over the island is an evidence
of the strength of the revolution, and the
news has produced a great sensation among
the SpaniardS in Havana.

HAVANA, Nov. pa official report just
issued says that several insurgents attacked
the small town of Santa Maria del Rosario,
this province, last night, intending to force
their way into the place. The enemy, how
ever, was repealed by the local garrison.
General Aguirre, it is stated from head
quarters, was astonished to find at the
railroad station of Santa Domingo num-
Der of weak pale and thin soldiers He
asked them where they were going and
they replied that they were on their way
to the district hospital at Sagua But, as
the men were evidently unable to travel
the general ordered them to return to the
local hospital of Santa Domingo until they
were able to perform active service, even

Surmises as to DR.. II. w. Evans's Be-
quests-Ex-king Milan Anxious to
Marry One of His Mistresses.

LONDON, Nov. 23.-Rt. Hon. Charles T.
Richie, president Of the Board of Trade
made an important speech before the Cham
Der of Commerce of Croydon to-day, taking
as his theme the decline of British exports
during the last ten months, upon which he
hung grave warning against American
competition, now "ousting British trade
Mr.. Richie, after declaring that the Ding
ley tariff and the engineering trade dispute
were mainly responsible for the recent de-
cline of exports and after pointing out that
England had no weapons against the tariff,
said there was a great deal of talk in COM
mercih circles about the serious competi-
ton of Germany; but he thought they were
too apt to overlook more serious competi-
tor-the United States. 1.-THE facts are seri-
ous,' he continued, land call upon us for
the exercise of all our powers to enable
us to maintain our position in the CONNER
cial world. There is no doubt the United
States are executing orders which ought to
be executed here. AS we all know an
American firm obtained the contract for the
Central Underground Railway (of London),
as it's bid was lower than those of the Eng
lish concerns and it could deliver the sup
plies three months ahead of the British
tenders. Many important continental or
ders have gone to America. The same is to
be said of Egypt and Japan, where the
Americans are doing work that Englishmen
should have done. In consequence of the
engineering dispute many orders are leav-
ing the country, and unfortunately these or
ders seldom return.
Americas successful competition is due
to her enterprise in embarking capital, but
it is yet more due to the freedom her manu-
facturers enjoy of employing the best ma
chinery and working it in the most econom-
ical manner untrammeled by the restric
tions which have hampered manufacturers
here. Every one having his country's inter-
est at heart must hope that to-morrow's
conference will lead to settlement Of the
unfortunate engineering dispute"

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
AS you look out one window of this hotel

Of Boston. Taken care of, those who were
placed there to rest i'm peace are not dis

there is one blot on our fair city's name
1t is the treatment of Greenlawc Cemetery,
piece of ground that is of little value to
any one We use this sacred piece of
ground as a pathway for the tin pail bri-
gade. There you see them lodging in and
out among the stones sacred to the memory
of mother or child. Some of the pioneers
of the city lie there and now we tramp
down their graves, the graves of those who
helped to make Indianapolis what it is

to the ground?" said Waddell.
Were you present at the dragging" was
asked.
Yes" Waddell answered. 'I helped drag
Hammond for twenty yards"
NO TESTIMONY AS TO OATFiS.
The first interruption occurred at this
point, when a member of the court insisted
that defendants counsel should be sus-
tanned in his objection to the question OF
whether Captain Lowering used an oath in
his commands to Hammond. When this
question was asked Private Waddell, Attor-
ney Blair interrupted with an objection and
a discussion between the judge advocate
and the attorney followed.
1T merely wanted to ascertain the state
of Captain Coverings temper at the time
of this affair." said Colonel Hunter, so Mr..
Blair announced that he would withdraw
the objection.
Colonel Hunter was preparing to ask an
other question when he was ir upted by
Captain Hunter his nameSake, re Third
Cavalry. Il shall renew that ection,
said the captain, as he straigh d in his
chair. II fail to see that it makes material
difference to this court or to the accused
whether he used profane language or not"
The judge advocate was apparently sur
prised, for he looked up suddenly and stared
for an instant at Captain Hunter. Then he
smiled and remarked that in that event
he would not press the question.
q Waddoll was then asked about Captain
Coverings stabbing Hammond with his
sword while on the way from the guard
house to the summary court the witness
stated that Hammond had been prodded
both before and after he left the guard
house.
The presiding officer General Ware, here
interrupted and asked in what part of the
body Hammbnd had been stabbed while on
Waddall said that the prisoner had been
stabbed on the hand.
Where was his hand said General
Ware.
His hands were crossed behind his head
to keepSit from dragging on the ground"
said Waddell.
Are you certain that thrust was made
for the hand or was it for the shoulder"
asked General Ware.
Il think Captain Lowering meant to stab
Hammond on the hand"
The witness thus gave the members of
the court the impression that Lowering had
tr1euFto make the prisoner uncross his
hands so that his head would drag on the
ground. Private Waddell was then excused.
The prosecution has but one more wit
ness to call, Post Surgeon Lppincott, and
then the attorneys for the defense will be
given precedence. Captain Lowering is ex-
pected to take the witness stand and has
two witnesses, Whiting and Sipple, both of
whom are general convictS in confinement

MADRID, Nov. 2S.-Premier Sagasta, re-
plying to-day to a Catalan deputation. for
ralIy declared that the government of
Spain could in no way modify its pro-
gramme of autonomy for Cuba Continuing,
the premier expressed the hope that the Gu
ban Assembly would elect commission
which would cooperate with a Spanish
commission in determining the commercial
relations between Cuba and Spain by con-
sulting their mutual interests. This is in
terpreted as meaning that the Cabinet will
adopt the scheme OF Senior Moret, the min
lister for the colonies, who yesterday
nounced to a Catalan delegation that he
had fully considered the general interests
of the colonies, and was convinced that his
policy alone would lead to peaceful solu
ton. Continuing, Senior Moret explained to
the Catalan delegates that in dealing with
the colonies, national, and not merely GER
tain industrial, interests must be considered.
In conclusion, the minister announced his
Intention TO maintain his opinions before
