HAVANA, Nov. 1S.-In pursuance of
cabled instructions from Spain, re-
ceived yesterday Capt Gen. Blanco to-
day released from Cabanas fortress AL
frede Laborde, Charles Barnett, Ona
Mekton and William Gilden, members
of the crew of the American schooner
Competitor, captured in April, 1896, by
the Spanish gunboat Mesagra, on a
charge of filibustering. They were de-
livered to the American and British
consuls, and have taken passage on
the steamer Saratoga, of the Ward line,
for New York.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-Minister
Woodford has telegraphed the state
department that the Spanish cabinet
has notified him that. the queen has
pardoned the Competitor prisoners.
The state department announces that
the prisoners We're turned over to Con-
sui General Lee last Monday, and will
be sent by him direct to New York
today.
1t is not doubted here that the pris-
oners are liberated on some such con-
ditions as were imposed in the case of
former prisoners: that is, that they
will not return to Cuba. After their
bitter experience in the Cuban jails, 1t
is not believed here that the men will
be disposed to violate any understand
ing of this kind to which they may be
parties. 1t is singular that the men
should have been for four days in the
custody of Consul General Lee without

was observed in order to insure de-
parture from Havana without exciting
trouble from the extreme Conservative
Spanish faction.
There were four prisoners, namely
Alfredo Laborde, the captain of the
Competitor, native of New Orleans;
William Gildee, the mate, a natural
lied citizen; Ona Melton, who claims
Kansas as his native state, and who
went on the Competitor In the ca
pacity of a newspaper correspondent;
Charles Barnett, OF British birth, but
who claimed the protection of the
United States government by virtue
of his sailing on an American vessel.
The new trial ordered by the Madrid
supreme court on the ground of irreg-
ularities in the original trial was to
have begun last Monday, and it is
thought would have resulted in the
imposition of the death sentence again.
This would have provoked an explo-
sion in this country according to the
anticipations of the department Off

violent than the feeling caused by the
famous Virginius episode; so it is to

CI;IMES WITHIN CRIMES,
A State of Affairs in Ohio Almost Chal-
 longing Credence.

Bellefontaine, Ohio, Aug. 15.-There were many detectives at work here and in Union township to-day on the rumors regarding the double murder one week ago of David Detrick and his wife. While only Ford and Deerwes- ter are under arrest for the crime, it is generally believed there are others who know something about it.
 In connection with the rumors im- plicating different neighbors, one man attempted suicide on his wife's grave because he was suspected, and a wo- man, after breeding over the horror, took morphine with suicidal intent. Yesterday Mrs. Charles Spellman, a rel ative of the Detricks, charged her fath- er-in-law with, M. c. Speelman, with criminal assault, and there was talk of lynching the father-in-law as well as Ford and Deerwester, but no such violence is anticipated The excite ment, however, is intense.
 The sensation now is the alleged con- fession of Ford to Mir William Els worth previous to his arrest-that he committed the double murder. Ford now denies the confession.

BACHELOR POLITICIANS.
Mrs. Charlotte Smith, the Reform CT, Is tu
 Fight Them.


 Boston, Aug 15-Mrs. Charlotte Smith, who has taken active interest in womens rescue work In this and other cities, and in work of special re- form, and whose recent agitation against women riding bicycles has at tracted widespread attention, has an- nounced her opposition to bachelor pol iticians. She explains that her protest against bachelors running for public office has been taken seriously and been as we'll endorsed; that she will con- tinue her work in that direction as means of continuing her crusade against the social evil. Her first step in her new work in this city is in the form of letters to democratic and re- publican city committees, protesting against the nomination of mayoralty candidates this fall of Josiah Quincy and Edwin U. Curtis, respectively, be- cause they are bachelors. The letter says:
 Bachelors have always been failures as chief magistrates and legislators in this and every other country Both your candidates are bachelors and bachelor politicians, are narrow-m mind ed, selfish, egotistical and cowardly.
 David B. Hill of New York, who posed as the bachelor presidential can didate, is a typical illustration of this class of men. He is morally selfish.
 Therefore it is about time to organ ize anti-bachelor clubs in this state. It should be the purpose of every young woman to look up the record of each and every man who Is looking for votes and should his moral character be such that would unfit him for office, then his shortcomings should be the point of attack by the anti-bachelor women of Massachusetts. There are 47,OO0 girls between the ages of twenty and twen- ty-nine years in this state who cannot find husbands, as there is that number less men.
 We have too many temporarily mar ried politicians on the market"

fill the streets cheering for the Count of Turin and the army and calling upon the bands in the public squares to play the royal hymn.
 Many of the houses are decorated with flags in honor of the result, and all the newspapers have issued special editions giving the details of the en- counter.
 Extra guards have been mounted at the French embassy and consulate.
 Congratulatory telegrams are show cred upon the members of the royal family from all parts of Italy, and many have been received from abroad.
 The meeting between the seconds yesterday was long and stormy. The representatives of Prince Henri stated on his behalf that he could not with draw his original assertions, as he had written only the truth about the Italian officers and was entirely willing to give satisfaction to a representative Italian.
 The seconds made absolute privacy condition, and said that if a soul were present except the principals, seconds and doctors, the fight should be stop ped and the count of Turin should re-
 
 lowed by Prince Henri to fight it out there For this reason various places of meeting were mentioned to mislead the inquisitive, and the seconds on both sides changed sleeping quarters during the night in order to throw the newspa- per correspondents off the scent.
 At the interview between the sec onds yesterday one of them became very much excited and said it was now a quarrel between the two countries, adding; we wish the whole Italian army could assist at this duel" When weapons were being discussed the Italians stood out for the sabre and were with the greatest difficulty convinced that the French duelling code did not admit 0 tine sabre except in the case of cavalry officers.
 All started with the utmost secrecy at this morning. The parties arrived at the place agreed upon almost simul- taneously about 4 o'clock. Little time was wasted in the preparations. They faced each other exactly at o'clock. Angry glances were exchanged and both looked cool and determined. They fought in their shirt sleeves. Prince Henri with bare hands and the count with gloves. At the words "Allez Mes- sieurs,' both started vigorously, so vigorously as to astonish and disturb the seconds. It was a thrilling exhibi- | ton of sword play; and Major Leon | tieff describing 1t with extraordinary vivacity, says it was terrible.
 | It appears that Prince Henri's sword was bent by 8 button of the counts | trousers; but for this chance 1t seems there is little doubt that the count would have been run through or at | least dangerously wounded. In fact, the doctors and seconds thought this | had happened.

Even the big col- Her is filled up, the feed for these anil mals and the outfits for the men talk ing up an immense amount of space.
 The Islander has just as large a crowd but much space is taken tip by contingent of mounted police, their horses, dogs and outfits. They realize that they have a winters trip before them before they reach Dawson City, and are taking dogs and sleighs.
 Horses will be taken as far as pos sible and when they are of no more use will be killed and used as food for dogs. A few of the men are going up with the idea of purchasing cheap out fits from men who became discour- aged,and are turning back, but most of them are we'll provided and all are taking pack animals. w.

Scudder. until recently pastor of the Reformed church in this city, but now q resident missionary in Japan, has just been sig nally honored by receiving the appoint ment of principal of the Hillhouse nigh school of New Haven, Conn.,, at a salary of $3,000 per annum.
 MT. Scudder will be remembered as the gentleman who made the address to the class of '96, the first one to grad uate from our high school. It was he who stated at that time that the young graduates had completed the course as laid out by the board of education of this city and that they were entitled to diplomas which, up to the present time, the board of education has not had the honor to give them.
 New Haven is one of the foremost educational cities in the Union, and in the selection of MT. Scudder the wisdom of the board of education of that city has been shown.
 MT. Scudder is one of the leading educators of this country and is a most progressive and up-to-date man. The city of New Haven is to be congratu- lated upon securing his services

MINE ffS STILL HOPEFUL.
Grimly Determined to Fight it Out to the
 Bitter End if Need Be.


 Bitter End if Need Be.
 Pittsburg, Aug. 15.-A leaden sky and fitful showers contributed to the feel ing of depression which existed at the miners camps and Turtle and Plum Greeks to-day. The men huddled to- gether for shelter under the commissa- ry tents, and, having nothing to do put in the time smoking and discussing the strike in all it's phases. The spirit of aggressiveness, however, has largely died out. The same grim of determin- ation to stick 1t out until starvation brings defeat or their efforts victory is apparent, but there are no propositions to attain their end by force or to go contrary to the sheriff's order
 There was no marching this morn ing. This has been the usual Sunday custom at all the camps. but even if it had been otherwise the strict orders of all strike leaders to wait quietly until after Monday would have prevented them. Sunday has been usually used by the men to do missionary among the working miners. None of them at tempted to see any workmen, however. and kept severely away from the com pany houses.
 The march into Westmoreland coun- ty will begin as soon as the iniunction is settled in court. Much anxiety is expressed as to the outcome. The men stake everything on their ability to show the right to assemble and march on the public roads
 This afternoon there was a large mass meeting at Plum Creek. About one thousand strikers and two hundred miners from the Plum Creek mine were present. Speeches were made by Pres ident Ratchford Samuel eompers. James R. Sovereign and the local lead CTS. The meeting was orderly, and there was no Interference from the dep- uties
 There is possibility of the custom ary march taking place in the early morning in spite Of the strike orders issued by President Dolan against such a course. Some of the men are fretting under the restraint and Captain Bel lingham, who is in charge of the camp. said tonight that he had not decided whether to allow the march or not. The deputies are on the alert, and say they will arrest any who make the at- tempt.
 Evictions from company houses have begun. One family has already been evicted and their household goods are on the roadside near Center. It is prob able that other evictions will take place tomorrow
