CUBA'S TORPEDOES.
SHE is PREPARING DEATH FOR
SPANS GUNBOAIs.
The Inland Waters of Cuba Will be
Made Impossible For Spanish
Operations.

New York, Jan. 2O.-The Press this
morning says:
Glad tidingS to Cuba in this city
were those which announced the sink
ing of the Spanish gunboat RetampagO
by means of Il torpedo while the ship
was hurrying to the assistance of the
garrison of Fort Guiana, on the eau
to river, the most important water
way of the island. Anxiously, dur
ing the last three weeks news of this
kind had been awaited by Cubans
who knew that the CubanS had decid-
ed TO attack SPANS fleet in the only
way open to the insurgents, namely,
by submarine positions.
Three weeks ago a letter was re-
ceived in this city in which the writer
said that the delay in beginning war
upon Spain'S patrol fleet was due to
the blunder of those who shipped the
wire and the generator of the electri-
city to be used in exploding torpedoes.
The mistake had been rectified and
that the material reached it's destina-
ton safely is proven by the destruc-
ton of the Retampago on Saturday of
last week.
y geUtltUldn WHO huONS the cltC-
trician who accomplished the first
marine victory for Cuba Libre said:
THE man under whose supervision
the instruments have brought war on
Spain's gunboats is proficient in cleo
trical engineering and is in Cuba now
because of his enthusiasm in the case
of freedom. l believe this new de-
parture will result in the loss of many
more of Spain's gunboatS.
The commanders of the Patrol
fleet are afraid to keep their ships in
the open sea at night and their places
of rendezvous behind the little islands
scattered along the Cuban coast are
perfectly known to the partiOts. The
torpedo service will devote its energy
exclusively to rivers navigated by the
Spanish gunboats and to the unpro-
tected anchorageS to which they re-
treat at night. There are more than
40 boats of different kinds in Cuban
waters. They are set down in Havana
harbor. They will be easy game
when once our tropedo system has be-
come in a degree perfected. | shall
be disappointed if we do not hear of
other successful attacks upon Spain's
fleet within the coming fortnight"

CRAvEN-FAIR WILL CASE.

San Francisco, Jan. 20.-At the pre-
Iiminary examination of eX-nOtary
public, J. J. CoOney, charged with
perjury in connection with the Fair
estate litigation, the court declined to
permit the introduction of photo
graphic copies of the pencil deeds in
evidence, requiring Mrs. Craven, the
grantee, under the deeds, to produce
the originals which her attorneys
were unwilling to do.
The principal witness was w. E.
Stamford, clerk for the III. S. COrck-
er company, publishers and printers,
who testified that on January 8, 1896,
he ordered 10000 bland notorial GER
tificates to be printed, these blanks
having numbers and other Identify
ing marks. The prosecution will try
to show that one of these certificates,
bearing Fairs acknowledgement to
be Craven deeds, bears CoOney's nota-
raj certificate dated September. 1894.

BURNED AT THE STAKE.
THAT'S THE FATE OF A LOUISIANA
NEGRO MURDERER.
His Partner in Crime Meets Death by
The Moose, Both at the Hands Of
An Infuriated Mob.

New Orleans, Jan. 20.-John johnson,
the Cotton family murderer, was burn
ed at the stake in front of the Cotton
residence near Amite City, at o'clock
this morning and Arch Joiner was
hanged. The mob also lynched Gus
Williams, who was accused of murder
ing his wife. All three men were COL
ored. johnson and Joiner, according
to the confession of the former, were
guilty of the murder of five members
of the Cotton family near here, some
time ago.
The trio of murderers were taken
from the jail at Amite City last night
by the mob. Shortly afterward a re-
port was received that Williams had
been hanged to a big oak tree in front
of Little Zion church not far from
Amite City and that the mob was on
its way to Tickfawa with Johnson and
Joiner who would, no doubt, meet a
horrible death.
Johnson and Joiner were brought to
Amite City from New Orleans yester-
day to plead to indictments against
them and, after a hearing, were re-
manded to Jail without bail. During
thN NoS " pau Va SiNiSSho NdiiNo OF
the jail and Johnson made his confess
sion. His story of the slaughter of the
family was peculiarly brutal. He
said he had always liked the Cotton
family and would not have harmed
them had it not been for the fact that
he was bullied into it. He said he
armed himself with an axe, not to hurt
any person in the house, but to prevent
their escaping, as he had been told to
watch a door.
The murder, Johnson said, was plan
ned by Bud Mcknight, who was a sui
tor for the girl, Maude Miller, whose
mother, Mrs. Cotton, whipped her for
allowing Meningitis attentions. This
was the only motive he knew for the
crime. He said Arch Joiner shot Cot
ton, the head of the household, with
a gun and then struck Merven Stevens,
son of Mrs. Anne Stevens, with an axe
on the forehead, knocking him back
on the bed and killing him instantly.
Joiner finished the men and then went
into a room which was occupied by
Mrs. Stevens, Mrs. Cotton and Lizzie
Miller, together with Maude and sew
eral children and killed the three wom-

THE GRANT BOOM.
CECIL LYON. THE MANAGER IS
VERY HOPEFUL.
Says Texas is Reasonably Certain of a
Cabinet Portfolio, Which Will Un-
doubtedly be Postmaster General,

Sherman, Tex, Jan. 20.-Special-
Your correspondent called upon Cecil
A. Lyon this evening who was general
manager of the John Grant cabient
boom. From his conduct and general
demeanor it could be readily seen that
he was delighted with the result of the
expedition. Mr.. Lyon, on being ask
ed the result of the trip, in a hesita-
ting way replied:
We'll, there has been a tacit under
standing between the members of the
delegation that there would be no
interviews regarding the trip further
than what has already been seen in
the press of the United States, but
find the pressure so great that 1 have
decided to yield and make known the
true status of affairs. The facts are
that the delegation came back delight
ed with their experience, having met
with an ovation along the entire route,
from the date of starting to the time
of their return to Dallas. l have new
err seen a movement where it touched
such a responsive chord, in the minds
and hearts of the people everywhere,
neither have / seen a delegation treat
ed with such uniform courtesy as was
ours. Upon our arrival at
Cleveland, we were met by Presi-
dent Leech, of the United Republican
clubs of Ohio, and a delegation of the
Tippecapoe club headed by Mr.. VOL
colt, president of that club. BY them
we were conducted to the Hollenden
hotel, where breakfast was served.
From there our delegation was conduc-
ted to the rooms of the Tippecanoe
club, where an informal reception was
rendered us, and which was attended
by many of the citizens of Cleveland.
The delegation was then escorted to
the private office of Mr.. Hanna, who
made a very enthusiastic speech of
welcome to the delegation, in which he
took occasion to congratulate Texas,
for the splendid vote cast by the state
in the last election, as compared with
former years: and he also said: so
long as he was chairman of the Ma
tional Republican Executive commit
tee, that Texas Republicans would
have a friend in him.
This was responded to by Mr.. Kane,
ton, for his kindly expressions,a and our
delegation was then escorted to the
train, where we embarked for Canton.
Upon our arrival at Canton the delega-
ton fell in line and marched to the res
idence of President-elect Mckinley, and
after being introduced, Mr.. Kane, as
spokesman for the delegation, made a
speech in which he presented the de-
sires of Texas Republicans, which was
responded to by Major Mckinley. After
the formalties were over private con-
ference was held with Major McKin-
ley of about an hour, after which we
returned to our train and embarked
for Texas. In conclusion / desire to
say for the edification of the public
that don't know whether John Grant
will get into the cabient or not, but up
to this time, have been claiming that
to get office in Texas it would be neces-
sary to have the endorsement OF John
Grant, whose address is Sherman, Tex,
and ! now know that was right"

JUDGE MURPHY TURNED DOWN

st. Louis. Jan. 20.-By the reversal
of a decision of Judge Murphy, of the
Criminal court, in the case of Sing
Lee, a Chinaman, charged with keep
ing a Joint and smoking opium, the
States Supreme court has decided that
the law against opium smoking and
prohibiting the operation of opium
Joints is constitutional.
Judge Murphy said that the law
was unconstitutional because it in
terfered with the divine right OF man
to smoke whatever he chose.
