COLUMBUS, O., Nov. ia rather unique
question has arisen regarding Frank O'Neill
and James Atkinson. the two prisoners inn
pIicated in the murder of Guard Lauder
baugh at the Ohio penitentiary Friday. Both
men are serving fifteen-year sentences, hav-
ing been received quite recently. AS the
murder is clear case, it is altogether prob
able that both will be sentenced to death,
and the question now arising Is concerning
the remainder OF their present sentences.
Governor Bushnell. while declining TO COM
NIT himself. says that 1t les within the
power OF the chief state executive at any
time 10 commute the sentences Of prisoners.
Ex-Secretary OF State ]. d Ryan. who IS
well versed on criminal law OF this sort
says that this will have TO be done before a

rangements have been made to put the
cruiser Chicago in commission at New York

ment greatly strengthened 1t is possible

the recommendation OF Captain Dickens.
Secretary Long has increased the age re-
quirement in the case of apprentices ad-

fourteen years was not sufficiently deVel-

an apprentice properly Most of the boys
were under one hundred pounds weight and
not strong enough TO pull an oar in heavy
weather and to so out on the yard arm.

LAVIGNE AND DAILY.
The Former Thought to- Have Had
the best of Last Nights Bout.

Philadelphia, April l2.-The swellest six-round
fight ever brought off here that between
kid Lavigne and Jack Daily at the Arena last
night. 1t was magnificent exhibition, and when
the gong sounded in the sixth round it would
have been almost impossible to have named the
winner DAILY did more of the leading, but was a
trifie Wild and at those times Layigne got in his
work However the Kid was by far the more
used up of the two at the conclusion OF the bout
and from his actions he would not have been very
dangerous for DAILY had the bout gone ten rounds
Today he bears marks all over his body and also
possesses beautiful left eye.
The general impression among those who know
the fighting game that Layigne was the bet
ter man i'll a long fight. He did not land as often
it is true but when he did get in the steam
behind the blows something to marvel at
Two or three times he landed on Daly's BODY
with enough force to make most men quit the
business for good and at the end of the fourth
round the effect was more or less apparent in
Dalys' actions
1t is question whether Day's constant tat
tooing the Kids face, Lavgne's body blows
cut the most ice. 1t is safe 10 say that for a
short bout Days work was the more effective
Both men were in the finest condition. appar-
emily. although Dalys good finish demonstrated
that Sam Fitzpatrick had put him through the
lines very carefully.
Behind Layigne were Harry Marks, Jack Fo-
garty and Harry Walton. Behind DAILY were

London. April 12.-The Pail Mall Ga

sage as a strong and temperate state
ment of the case against Spain. He up
holds Intervention merely in order to end
the war leaving the ultimate destiny of
Cuba to be decided according to circum-
stances. The Presidents attitude the
Gazette says, is constitutionally correct
in throwing the responsibility for action
upon Congress. The final decision ought
clearly to rest with the people. AS re-
CARDS Spain's last concessions, they can
not effect the ultimate settlement ''If
anything worth having the Gazette
adds. were to come out of delay it is
clear that the monarchy is not worth
forty-eight hourse purchase.
In conclusion the Gazette says: ''It is
idle to pretend to hope for peaceful set
tlement. The President has appealed to
Congress and there is no doubt about
what the answer will be-
The Globe completely condemns the

largely lost, the death rate increase ir

CUBANS WILL FIGHT FOR US.
Ready To support an American In
yadinE Army.

New York, April 12.-"When an Ameri-
can army reaches Cuba the people will
flock to it's ranks" This statement was
made by Chief Officer Frank Crosslin, of
the British steamer Aloedene, which ar
rived from Matanzas, Cuba. yesterday
with a cargo of sugar and tied up in Will
liamsburg.
AN Cubans want is a surety of help"
he continued, 'and they will rise in a
body. They were won by the magnificent
gifts of clothing and food, and are long
ing for American interference and many
of them want to become part of the
States.
The Spanish soldiers are among the
weakest specimens of humanity that
could be found anywhere and the most
dissatisfied lot. Most of them are boys,
who are poorly clothed, poorly fed, never
paid and homesick all the time. Deser-
tions are frequent.
The Cubans are pinning their faith on
the United States and are waiting for a
signal to rise in thousands. They could
under no circumstances be brought to
fight against the United States, Junta or
no Junta. To this country they look for
their liberty"
From the deck of the vessel he said,
every night confiagrations could be seen
in every direction outside of Havana and
MatanZas. caused by the burning of crops
and plantation buildings.
Two other steamships from Cuban ports
arrived at Brooklyn piers yesterday. The
Saratoga, of the Ward line, which brought
sugar from the Southern coats, is at the
Anglo-American pier, Erie Basin.
One of the engineers of the vessel said:
around Manzanillo the skies were aglow
at night with the fires of the blazing plan
tations The misery in the towns is dread
full No sooner does a ship tie up than
there is a crowd of poor creatures around
her begging for food. The feeling against
Americans is very bitter among the Span
ish part of the population"
If something is not done now" inter
jected a younger engineer, THE life of an
American sailor i'm any OF the South
American countries Will be unbearable.
They all say. with grin: Americanos all
bluff: big mouth: all talk; fight.
In Cuba the average Spaniard believes
there will be no trouble in whipping the
United States. They think the Maine was
the finest ship the United States had. and
they say they will serve the rest as the
Maine was served"
