MISSOURI LIBEL LAW.
Newspaper Sustained i'm Its Criticism
of an Alleged Lobby.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 9.-To-day the jury in
the libel suit of Charles B. Stark against
the Republic rendered verdict in favor of
the defendant. Stark was the attorney of
the old School Board, which was legislated
out of existence last winter The Republic
the head of a corrupt lobby at Jefferson
City opposing the reform measure. Stark
brought suit for damages In his instruc-
tions to the jury Judge Spencer clearly laid
down the doctrine that when a public cor
poraton or public body employs an agent
to influence legislation it transcends its
powers and commits an unlawful act, which
justities the criticism that it and its agents
are engaged in corrupt lobbying The Re-
public had refused to compromise or take
advantage of technical tactics, but main
tanned that it had told the truth and was
justified in so doing.
Judge Spencer, in his instructions. said
while any individual is permitted and
often is moved by his duty to present by
way of publication or public argument his
any measure pending before the Legislature
of the State, this right belongs to him as
constituent part of the sovereignty, and
cannot be employed by an individual action
officially or by public officials while serving
the people and intrusted only with certain
duties responsibilities and trusts. 1t is
their duty to carry out the law within the
and not otherwise to either persuade, direct
or force legislation, or attempt to do so in
regard to matters affecting their tenure of
office, or duties relating thereto"

NOTES FROM CUBA.
HOIguin Reported to Have Been Cap
tured by Insurgents.

HAVANA, via Key West, Jan. 29.-The
clearing of the river Cauto, so as to make
it navigable which was ordered by General
Pando. WILL it is feared, produce an cpl
demic of malarial fever among the soldiers.
Two hundred state prisoners (presidarios)
have been sent to the Cauto river to assist
the soldiers in clearing the stream.
Reports from Sancti Spiritus say that two
young insurgents who have surrendered
have made an offer to the Spanish General
Salcedo to murder General Maxine Gomez
for a certain sum of money.
Senior Antonio GOWN, the minister of the
interior in the Cuban Cabinet, is said to
have brought the authorization of the New
York Cuban Junta to negotiate with the
insurgents and the Spanish government for
the establishment of peace.
Circulars signed by certain Cubans have
recently been circulated clandestinely at
tacking Governor Brauzon for advising
General Blanco to deport certain persons.
The circular also. charges that Senior
Brauzon had been for the past two years
the principal enlister of recruits for the in
Surgent forces.
Yesterday morning posters appeared pla-
carded on the principal buildings in Havana,
announcing that General Calixto Garcia,
and the insurgent leader Rabi had cap
tured Holguin on Jan. q.
1t Is reported thdt senior BraulO AccOSta,
one Of General Pando's emmissaries at

for the formation of an auJcncinist party
into which Senior Amblard, she Cuban min
lister of justice, and other Ieformists may

agreed with the Madrid government to turn
autonomy over to the Spanish elements. 1t
is also believed that General Blanco will
ignore them. General Arolas has said that
Spain cannot carry on the war in Cuba be-
yond July, and that if by that time the ISL

abandon it for lack. of resources. He also

ARKANSAS RACE WAR.
Reign of Terror in LOnOke County,
and Negroes Fleeing from the Place.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Jan. 29.-The sit

county continues critical According to
trustworthy reports received here to-day
negroes are leaving there in droves and
business is almost at a standstill 1t is

salesman we'll known in this State, came

old and peaceable negroes who have lived
at Lonoke for years are taking their fam
lilies and leaving town as fast as they can
get away. The younger negroes are sullen
and defiant. He said that there is we'll

LONDON, Jan. 29.-The Madrid Corrego
organ of the Carlsts. discussing the visit
of the United States battle ship Maine to
Havana, expresses the belief that the Span
ish public is justitiably alarmed adding:
LAS a fact, it is the government itself
which is seriously alarmed, though every
effort is made to disguise it. In spite of the
official statement of Admiral Cervaras, the
admiral of the fleet, on Tuesday last cat Il
conference with the minister of marine,
when he asserted that the recent evolutions
had demonstrated the perfect condition of
the Spanish fleet) Admiral Cervaras in real
ity reported that there was not ship ready
for service. that the vessels not actually in
dry dock ought to be there, that many of
the boilers We're defective, that some ships
were not yet armed and that most or the
vessels require cleaning. In view OF the
perfidy of the United States, 1t IS not sur
prising that such neglect and helplessness
create alarm.
According to the same paper great impor-
tance is attached to the conference between
NJ. Patenatre, the French minister TO Spain,
and Senior Gullon, the Spanish minister for
foreign affairs, who. tx IS said, discussed
the action of the United States "as II IS
well known that there is great alarm in
France at the course of events. The fact
chat Nj. Patenotre is intimately conyersant
with United States affairs lends additional

Wnlle was IN cuba year ago / wrote OF
one OF Ardngurens exploits, which was
characteristic. With squad of twenty or
thirty negro cavalrymen he captured a rail-
way train one morning about daylight, upon
which an even dozen officers of the Spanish
army were returning to their posts in the
neighborhood from a ball that had been
given at the club IN Havana the night be-
fore. They wore their best uniforms and
dancing shoes, and were chatting about the
incidents of the evening when the train was
stopped, the cars We're invaded and they
were placed under arrest by Aranguren's
ragged troopers. One of these officers was
a native Cuban who had accepted com
mission in the Spanish army. He was
hanged forthwith as soon as he was identi-
fed within few yards Of a railway station,
and a piece or paper was pinned to the
body bearing an announcement that such
would be the fate of all Cubans who served
the government of Spain. The other eleven
being natives OF Spain and officers OF the
regular army, Aranguren entertained them
at breakfast. He gave them the best he
had of food and drink treated them with
back to Havana with an impertinent mes
sage to General Weyler, saying that if he
was not more careful he might lose many
of his officers and men. The captives
amazed their friends in Havana by the
story of their experience, but they were
court-martialed for being absent from their
posts of duty without leave and for submit
ting to capture without making an effort in
self-defense and sent back to Spain in dis
grace.
Aranguren had been the hero of many in
cidents of this sort, the latest being the
brutal murder of Liuet. Col. Ruiz, an init
mate friend and former associate, who came
to him on an errand of peace. He and Ruiz
had served together in the employ of the
water works at Havana until the breaking
out of the revolution, and were intimate
friends Aranguren was native of the
city, belonged to an excellent family and
was always notorious for reckless dissipa-
ton. He was only twenty-three or twenty
four years old, but already had record
for crime and adventure that was unequaled
by any man in Havana. He killed three or
four men and fought several duels before
he reached his majority, and had the repu-
tation of being the most reckless gambler
in Cuba. His career had placed him almost
beyond the bound of liberation when the
rebellion broke out, and when he left the
city to join the insurgents it was a matter
of congratulation not only among the police,
but among the fathers of young men who
were inclined to initiate his example.

object TO students dancing at reasonable

class will be formed. The idea that the class
has anything to do with the college itself is
