the destruction of his plantation in
Cuba. Mr.. Mcdonnell. who is a min.
ister arrived here yesterday from Ha-
yana, where he says he was contempt
uously treated by Gen Weyler and his
claim Of American citizenship spurned.
He went there early in February to
look after his property interests and
found the plantation in ruins and the
machinery gone or destroyed. On MS
return to Havana he gave vent to his
feelings in frank American fashion, he
says, and was arrested and brought be-
fore Gen. Weyler. When he displayed
his passports and demanded his release
Weyler took the paper and threw it
contemptuOusly aside, saying il was
valueless in Havana. Mr. Mcdonnell
says Gen. Weyler did not, as reported,
stamp the document under foot. nor did
the incident occur in the presence OF
Consul General Lee. Subsequently at
the request of Gen. Lee, Mr. Mcdonnell
was released and forthwith hastened TO
this city. Mr.. Stallings says his con-
stituent is a minister of the gospel and
entitled to absolute credence So far
as he knows, however, Mr. Mcdonnell
does not contemplate the filing Of a
claim for damages for his temporary
arrest but only for property destroyed.

Greencastle, Ind, February 27.-The
fate of Alfonso Walling, the accomplice
of Scott Jackson in the murder Of
Pearl Bryan is regarded as sealed now,
that the last effort of his friends has
come to naught
The Rev. A. j. Lee. the Baptist min
lister of Covington, Ky, who has sus-
tcined the relation of spiritual adviser
10 the unfortunate young man. reached
this city last night to intercede with the
Bryan family in his behalf. He was
accompanied by S D. Pocock, the shoe
dealer. Of Covington. whose identitica-
ton of Miss Bryan's shoes led to the
arrest of the murderers.
Both visitors registered under assum-
ed names and gave Indianapolis as
their place of residence. Mr.. Lees
coming had already leaked out and it
was known that the parents of the
murdered girl would be asked to sign a
recommendation to Governor Bradley
for a commutation OF the death SEN
tence to life imprisonment.
This morning Rev. Lee made his way
to the Bryan mansion, a mile or two
southeast of the city. He was met by
a brother Of the murdered girl before
reaching the house. He was told po-
litely, but positively, that his visit was
a fruitless one; that every member of
the family wanted to see justice meted
out to the murderers of his sister; nor
did they want to have their feelings
wounded by a repetition Of the details
OF the most revolving crime.
Mr.. Lee had a communication to Of
fer from Walling himself, but withheld
it. He came to this city at the solici-
tation and as the representative of Mrs.
WalIing. He did not seek a further in
terview with the family during his
stay.

rode the half I'm :5S -. and the mile I'm
