Madrid, Sept. 1S.-The session of the
senate yesterday was stormy Count
D'Almenas. challenged to give the
names of the generals who he recently
said ought to be disgraced, replied:
VERY well, as you wish 1t, I will. The
generals to whom / referred are Gem
eral Weyler. General Blanco and Gem
eral Primo de Rivera. / will also in-
clude in the same category Admiral
Cervera." This announcement led to
an extraordinary scene of tumult.
Captain Aunon, minister of marine,
yesterday received an important dis
patch from the Philippines describing
a conflict between the Spanish gum
boats and an insurgent hotilla, in
which the ~former successfully pre-
vented an insurgent landing in the
Nisayas. According to the dispatch
the insurgents had five vessels, all of
which were sunk The Spaniards had
no loss, but the telegram asserts that
hundreds of the insurgents are be-
lieved to have perished.

Philadelphia, Sept. 13.-Joe Cloynski
had all the best of his bout with Joe
Goddard last night at the Arena. Cod
dard was considerably heavier than the
Californian, but he lacked in science.
Choynski made chopDing block of
the Australian and several times 1t
looked as though Goddard would not be
able to stay the full six rounds. In the
elosing round Goddard fought wildly.
while Choynski was calm and banged
Goddard on the jaw, sending him to
his knees. Choynski landed hard and
often. but he could not stop the Au-
siralian. When the gong sounded a
spectator jumped into the ring and at
tempted to hit Goddard, but he was
quickly thrown from the platform.

THE MAINE ELECTION.
Tho Four Republican Congressman
Re-elected without Effort.

Ke-eiected W1tnOut Effort.
Portland, Me-, Sept. 13.-The state
election yesterday resulted in the sue
cess of the full Republican ticket, as
follows: Governor, Llewellyn Powers;
congressman, First district. Thomas b.
Reed: Second. Nelson Dingley; Third.
Edwin c. Burleigh; Fourth, Charles A.
Boutelle. The election was marked by
comparative apathy on the part Of the
Republicans, who felt secure, while the
Democrats, taking perhaps a little
more interest, with an apparent desire
to make a better showing than in 1894
or 1896, put some vim into the CAM
paign, the result of which was seen in
nearly every town.
The falling off of the Republican vote
was. however, anticipated by the party
managers, and while it was somewhat
lower than anticipated it gave them
no anxiety. and the loyal men of the
party readily explained it.
While the Democratic vote kept up
we'll with that of last off year, 1894, 1t
must be remembered that the vote that
year was a falling off of $1,000 from the
vote of the previous off year. 1890.
The state elected a solid Republican
delegation to congress. The four con-
gressmen had little or no opposition,
although, strangely enough, Speaker
Reed had vigorous opponent in his
district-McKinney.
Mr. Dingley, whose majority ex-
Ceeds 1000, did not make a speech dur
ing the campaign, confning his efforts
to conferences with the committees in
the different shire towns. The other
two congressman. Boutelle and Bur-
leigh, did even less, SO that 1t may be
said that there never was campaign
in the state where there was so little
said of national issues

WERBER NEVER AWOKE.
Took Morphine and slept for "a Long
Time.

Carl Werber, who, with his family, came
to this city four weeks ago from Evansville,
died at $3.50 o'clock last night under peculiar
circumstances. He was in the saloon bslsi-
ness at Evansville and came to this city to
take charge Of the Walhalla restaurant, on
East Washington street. He was a robust
man, fifty-seven years Of age, and had a
wife and two sons. They all took rooms at
4O6 East Washington street, and created a
favorable impression among their neighbors
by their quiet manners and the harmony in
which they all seemed to live together.
Werber was a Woodworking sober man,
who attended to his business, while he was
here, with a watchfulness that kept him
busy from early in the morning until late
at night He found the work too exacting,
however and gave up the management Of
the Walhala last Monday since which time
he told his wife several times that he was
tired out and needed rest.
On Wednesday night Werber retired as
usual, and his wife told him TO take some
quinine for what they all thought was an
attack OF la grippe, but he said If he could
get good, long sleep 1t would fix him all
right His wife became alarmed during
the night because he breathed so hard,
which, she said, was something he had
night he arose and left the room, and, 1t is
now thought, took a dose of morphine. He
then went to sleep sounder than ever and
never regained consciousness.
Yesterday morning, when he did not arise
for his meals, his wife thought it would do
him more good to sleep than to eat his
meals, and did not disturb him, and did
not suspect that he was in any other condi-
ton than normal. AS the day wore on,
however. it was thought best TO awaken
him. His wife tried to do so, but failed,
and becoming alarmed, called in Mrs w.
Coley, her landlady, who. seeing at a glance
that Werber was in an abnormal condition.
sent at once for physician. He was some
time in responding. however, and when he
did arrive gave his opinion that Werber
could not live. To the family he said the
dying man was suffering with heart disease,
but after the death of Werber he called up
the coroner by telephone and told him that
Werber had died of morphine poisoning. The
coroner will make an examination of the
remains to-day to ascertain what really was
the cause of death.
Werber and his wife were both born in
Germany, and during the time they have
been in this country, have lived in Atlanta,
Ga, Cleveland o., and Evansville. After
the body has been prepared for burial it will
be taken to Atlanta, wnere the funeral will
be held. The deceased left no relatives
other than his wife and two sons.

MAYOR GOES TO CHICAGO.
Private business, Not Politics, Draws
Him There.

Mayor Taggart has disappeared. He left
town yesterday. 1t was asserted that he
was going to Chicago. His departure re-
vived talk of the Croker-Tammany deal by
which Taggart is to be made chairman Of
the Democratic national committee. A fort
night ago it was known here that Richard
Croker was in West Baden. Leon o. Bailey
was there at that time He telegraphed the
mayor when the Tammany leader arrived.
The mayor said that he expected to go to
West Baden, as he had been needing rest
and regeneration. 1T was very well under
stood here that the Indiana Democrats
hoped to have a grand powwow here with
talk 1t was also understood that he i'm
tended 10 go to Louisville to confer with
Henry Watterson. Suddenly Watterson and
Croker both disappeared. Watterson arrived
at the Grand Hotel, but did not permit him
self to be interviewed. 1t was whispered
that Croker had also been here about that
time under cover No one has since heard
from Croker or Watterson, and now Mayor
Taggarts name is added to the political
missing list" AT the City Hall, yesterday,
they were joking about the mayor having
gone to Chicago, West Baden or some place
else to see about that Croker deal"
Speaking more seriously, however, it was
insisted that the mayor had gone to Chi
cago on private business. Mayor Harrison,
Cookers national candidate for 1900, lives
there. He and Mr.. Taggart are warm
friends
