Of picturesqueness, the additional one of being out of the way of the usual current of European travel. Palma, the capital, is city of between 60,000 and 10000 inhabitants, whose wealthier aristocratic families live in palaces, whose pillars of granite or marble, with elegant capitals. give them an imposing appearance. Colonnades and noble stone staircases encounter the stranger at every step. The cathedral is impOs- ing, but, like so many of the cathedrals of Spain, is unfinished. Broad thor oughfares, MOorish architecture and traditions, and the blue sky of south ern Europe, as we'll as the blue Medit- erranean, impart a restful calm and the inhabitants seem content to live at ease in their favorite cline.

About 9:15 last evening Officer Cas-

dark portion of New Union avenue and
fastening to where the cries sounded
from, he found two men scuf11ing on
the ground. He arrested both One

when the officer appeared upon the
scene. At the station house Horan ad-
mitted that he had been showing Jac-
OLSON the town, but denied that he had
attempted to rob the farmer. Horan
was locked up, charged with drunken

ANOTHER EXPEDITION.
Filibustering Party Leaves Tampa Under

Filibustering Party Leaves Tampa Under
Spanish Spy's Nose.
Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. ia special
to the Times Union and Citizen from
Tampa, Fla, says: Almost under the
nose of Edward Taylor, superintendent
of Pinkerton's Spanish spies, a large
Cuban expedition left Tampa last night
and tonight sailed from a point on
Pearl river. The men, about seventy in
number, walked through the streets of
Tampa about o'clock this morning
and boarded special train, which
quickly bore them to a point near
where they were to embark and there
they remained in hiding until a tug
took them out to the steamer which
bore them away to Cuba. Colonel
Emilio Nunez was in charge of the
steamer.
1t is said that General sanguilly is
the real commander, and color is given
this rumor by the fact that when the
men left here they were in charge of
Colonel Lechuga, who was first lieu
tenant Of the personal staff Of General
Sanguilly when he failed to get away
from Jacksonville. Superintendent
Taylor, his son and another Pinkerton
man have been here looking for San
gully. They imagined that he was
near here. 1t is understood that five
thousand rifles, six thousand pounds
of dynamite, 100000 rounds of car
tridges and large lot of supplies made
up the cargo.

SITUATION IN NEW BEDFORD,
Representatives Action in Boston Not
Likely to be Received Kindly

Representatives. Action in Boston Not
Likely to be Received Kindly
New Bedford, Mass, Feb. 13.-From
the point of view of the New Bedford
strikers, the action taken by the con-
ference of textile unions in Boston to-
day is scarcely calculated to be re-
ceived with joy, inasmuch as it is
against the policy adopted at the meet
ings of the executive committee of the
National Spinners union, to wit: That
New Bedford should be made the bat
tleground, and until the conclusion of
the strike here the other textile CEN
ters should remain at work, thereby
acquiring the means to assist the New
Bedford operatives in their struggle.
Then at the conclusion of New Bed
ford's fight the plan was, whether New
Bedford won or lost, that the strike
against the general reduction should
be extended in one district at a time
until the whole of New England had
been covered. In view of this plan,
which at the time of it's adoption SEEM
ed to meet with general acquiescence,
the action of the conference, it would
seem, Is direct shift of tactics to thus
revert to a general strike. The dele
gates to the conference will report the
new plan to their several unions for
their consideration, and although the
| Boston conference adjourned without
date, it Is presumed that after action
is taken by the unions another CONFER
ence will be called to take action in
| accordance with the action of the
| unions.

Accosted a Suspicious Character who
Turned Upon Him.
Boston, Feb. 13.-Whi1e officer Wal
ter o. Horton of station II, Dorchester
district, was patrolling his beat shortly
before / o'clock this morning he saw a
man at the corner of Savin Hill and
Dorchester avenues who acted suspi-
ciously. He accostad him and asked
his business. when, without warming,
the man turned and fired shot from
a revolver at him, the ball entering the
officers back. The latter dropped to
the sidewalk and his assailant ran
through an archway into the yard of
a house close by in an endeavor to es-
cape.
The discharge of the revolver was
heard by Officer Armstrong, who gave
chase, and he was met with three shots
from the same revolver, but none of
the bullets hit him. He succeeded in
arresting the man, who gave the name
of Peter Nelson, twenty three years of
age, claiming to belong in st. Paul,
MINI. Nelson will be arraigned in the
local court tomorrow morning. Hor-
ton was reported this morning as be-
ing in a comfortable condition, and
there is every reason to believe that he
will recover.

Washington, Feb. 13.-The house will
on Wednesday enter upon the consider
alton Of the bankruptcy bill, which the
majority of the Judiciary committee
committee has reported as a substitute
for the Nelson bill passed by the SEN
ate at the extra session last summer.
Under the order made the bill is to be
debated on Wednesday, Thursday and
Saturday of this week and voted up
on Monday of next week. The substi-
tute which the minority contend prac-
tically is the old Torrey bill, including
both the voluntary and involuntary
features, will be opposed by the united
democratic and populist organizations,
but If there shall be no appreciable
detection from the ranks of the major
ity the measure will pass. The demo
Gratis and populists are both favorable
to the passage Of voluntary bank
ruptcy bill but have always vigorously
opposed the Torrey and ether bills, in
Guiding an involuntary feature, claim
ing that its purpose is practically to
create law for the collection of debts.

ACTION TO EXTEND STRIKE
EVERY NEW ENGLAND COTTON MILL
OPERATIVE MAY CALLED OUT.


Recommendation to This Effect Unani-
mously Adopted at a Meeting in Boston
of the Representatives of Textile Unions
Outcome of President Gomper's Work
Fully 117 900 Persons Likely to be Idle
Boston, Feb. 13.-At a meeting to-day
in this city of fifty-five representatives
of textile unions in New England it
was unanimously voted to recommend
to all unions to call out the operatives
| in every cotton mill in New England.
| The meeting was practically the out
come Of the recommendation which
| President Gompers made to the Fedora
! tion of Labor last Sunday In which he
urged the different unions to unite on
some settled policy regarding the mill
situation in New England. At that
meeting committee of three was ap-
pointed to take charge Of the matter
and after conference they recon-
mended that a general meeting he held
to take definite action.
The representatives discussed the sit
uationfor four hours from every stand
point. The primary object of the meet
ing was to devise some method Of rem
dering assistance to the strikers. 1t
was pointed out to-day that If the
strikers at New Bedford could hold out
for four weeks without receiving more
than twenty-five cents per operative
per week in the way of outside assist

a similar strain and that If all went
out 1T would precipitate a crisis which
would have to be met within a short
| time by the manufacturers. 1t was
also shown that the mule spinners were
in most excellent shape as regards
funds, that the United Textile workers
and the New England Federation of
| Weavers We're also in good shape, but
that the rest were short Of funds.
1t now remains for the various ma
tional unions to take action the recon-
mendation, but just what this action
will be is a matter of conjecture. If all
should acquiesce and vote to strike
147,000 operatives would cease work and
the manufacture of cotton goods
throughout New England would be at

only few vote to strike, the refusal of
the others may still keep a larger por-
tion of the mills in operation. mas
much as the meeting was the outcome
of President Gompers' suggestions and
as he admonished the members of the
federation of labor to join hands and
assist the New Bedford strikers, II
seems probable that nearly every union
will carry out the recommendations
and that one of the greatest strikes
ever seen in this country is impending

DENIES DYING MANS STATEMENT.
Gionguillo Says He is Innocent of Murder

Gionguillo Says He is Innocent of Murder
ing Eugene Kennedy.
Stamford, Feb. 13.-Assistant State
Attorney Galen A. Carter, jr., has been
very active to-day in getting state
ments from several parties who were
witnesses Of the affray in an Armenian
saloon on Canal street, Saturday night,
during which Eugene Kennedy was fa-
tally stabbed. AS far as can be learned
they all tell pretty nearly the same
story, and state they saw Kennedy
strike Gionguilio over the head with a
beer glass, but all Of them deny seeing
the italian do any stabbing. Kennedy
in his ante-mortem statement charged
Gionguilio with stabbing him and also
identified the man.
Gionguilio persists in asserting his
innocence and says that when he was
struck with the beer glass it cut such
an ugly cash over his left eye that he
left the saloon hurriedly in order to
have 1T attended to. Edward Martin,
known as English" who was a par
ticipant in the row, is under arrest.
Margaret White, who was in the sa-
loon at the time, has reported to-day
that she saw the knife and the italian
do the stabbing, but as she has been
more or less intoxicated all day but lit
tie credence is placed in her story. She
will, however, be summoned to appear
before Coroner Doten, who will hold an
inquest here tomorrow morning.
