ALLEGEDs EoRRTDEAL WITHsPA1N

The President and Secretary Olney, 1t Is
Assorted, Agreed That This Government
Should Aid in Crushing the Insurgents
Unless They Yield.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2.--bIr. James Croel-
man, special correspondent of the New
York Journal, tclegraphs from Madrid to
that paper as follows
ut has taken me many days to trace
out the astounding dealings of President
Cleveland and his administration with
the Spanish monarchy, but | am now In
position to give the American people some
light on the subject,
actual facts show that Cleveland's Of
fer Of mediation was simply a cover under
which the American government secretly
proposed to help Spain to overthrow and
suppress the republic Of Cuba and to en-
force peace on that island on terms which
the patriot army would not accept
"This Offer was not made in tho form of
written document transmitted through
the usual channels, but, for the sake of
greater secrt oy, was conveyed in formal
note from Secretary Olney to the Spanish
minister ut Washington, De LONE, who
"rhe understanding was that If Cuban
leaders refused to lay down their arms
upon conditions of local self government,
to be proposed to them by or through the
United States, the whole influence and
power of the American government would
be exertod to crush the new republic.
"The slightest Investigation by congress
will reveal the truth of this statement. l
have the facts upon unirnpeachable au-
thority, but tho most surprising fact in
this we'll concealed conspiracy against the
Cuban republic is that in order to help
Spain In her pitiless campaign of massa-
ere, Secretary Olney has not presented any
of the claims for damages arising out Of
the present war.
"This seems almost incredible, but 1t is
true. Records in Washington will con-
firm my statement, These claims repre-
sent millions upon millions of dollars
They are supported by sworn and, In most

The President and wife Shake Hands Wit h

WASHINGTON, jan 2.-Seven thousand
persons shivered outside the White House
yesterday for periods varying from one to
six hours. But patience had Its reward In
every case, for the president and Mrs.
Cleveland shook hands with every one Of
them.
The closing New Years reception OF the
present administration was the most brill
liant Of Mr. CLeveland's whole eight years
in office, and old Arthur Simmons, the
Presidents famous messenger, whose SER
vice in tho White House dates back thirty
years, shook his head sagely as he viewed
the far reaching crowd from an upper
window, and declared it ''Ds greatest re.
coption since do wah."
The diplomatic corps, rs usual, fur

FOOLED THE JUDGE.
He Worked Successful Ruse to Save .
Condemned Murderer.


Condemned Murderer.
"Some years ago was on the bench in
a Nebraska circuit" said Judge A. Il.
Simmons Of Omaha.
"a murder was committed under rather
peculiar circumstances. A man named
Bill Chadwick and q man named Tom
Plumnner were enemies, and had been for
some time, each having threatened the
life of the other A reconciliation was
effected, and one day the two mon went
hunting together. Plummer returned
alone and said he had bought Chadwick's
horse and the latter had gone to Kansas.
"ConEidsrablo suspicion existed, but
Chadwick had no relatives, and there was
no way of disprOying the story. Several
months later the bones OF man were
found where 1t was known Chadwick and
Plummer had been together on the day
the former disappeared. By means Of the
boots and Il peculinrity of tho teeth tho re-
mains wero identified as those Of Chad
wick. Plummer was arrested, tried, con-
deanned and sentenced to be hanged.

for the execution man entered my ONCE

~ was naturally greatly surprised and
somewhat doubtful as to the truth of his
story. But he stuck to it under the most
rigid cross examination.
"I don't like Tom none too well, he
said, but sold him the boss all right and
went to Kansas Ididn't hear about tho
trial till after it was over, so when did
hear thought it would be shame to let
Tom hang, and I como back.
~ took the man to tho prosecuting at
torncy, who had known Chadwick slight
ly, and no identified the man as the one
supposed to be murdered. We took the
first train to Lincoln, reaching there just
in time to secure the pardon for Plummer.
"Both Plummer and Chadwick disap-
peared as soon as the former was released,
and I had ceased to think about the
strange affair when I changed circuits
with another Judge and while sitting In
the hotel saw Chadwick pass. called
the landlords attention to him and asked

Locked Them In.

HANOVER, Pa, Jan. 2.-Throe young
children of Mr.. and Mrs George Cutters,
who live in the country about four miles
from here, died from suffoeation during u
fire at their home late Thursday night
During her husband S absence Mrs. Dut-
tiers called on IL neighbor, locking the chill
dren in the house at play. On her return,
after a longer stay than she had intended,
she saw smoke issuing in heavy volumes
from the house, As she entered the house
the excited mother stepped into hole
which tho fire had burned through the
floor, and foil violently to the cellar below
Cropping her way back to the first floor she
found the bodies of the children lying in
