MUTINY IN CUBA.
Spanish Soldiers Demand Their
Pay Before Embarking.

Kew West, Fla, Nov. 14-Private re-
ports from Puerto Principe and Nuevi-
tas, Cuba, say that 1000 regular sold
iers, mutinied demanding their pay be-
fore embarking for Spain. About 1000
armed soldiers, the report adds, present
ed themselves in front of the palace
calling on the military governor, Emilio
March, for their overdue pay. Thereup-
on Gen. March drew his sword and or
dered them to disband.
The soldiers, however, refused to
obey and some of them, armed with
loaded rifles, threatened the life of Gen.
March, who returned his sword to it's
Scabbard crying out: DO you wish to
kill me2 Well, kill me-
The Spaniards in reply shouted: mo.
no; we only want our pay before en-
barking for Spain"
Gen. March promised them that they
would be paid and the soldiers returned
to their quarters peacefully.
The steamer AlaVa left Havana four
days ago with $4,000 with which to
pay these soldiers who were to embark
Immediately for Spain.
The cruiser Alfonso XIII and the gun
boats Condo de Venadito and Infanta

compel soldiers to embark after which
they will proceed to Gibara for a like
purpose and Will then go to Spain I'M

NEW WORKERS WE'RE OUT
To See the Meteors but None Has
Appeared.

New York, Nov. 14-Maybe there was
a downpour of meteOrs somewhere last
night but no one in this part of the
country has seen anything resembling
a meteor in the skies. It rained here,
and the weather is cloudy, so that New
Workers have had no opportunity to OBJ
serve the expected phenomena.
Some astronomers, moreover, assert
that the shower is not due until next
November Even then, these dOubters
aver the chances for a successful OBJ
servation are removed by the fact that
if the weather is clear the moon will be
at the full, and it's effulgence will al
most totally eclipse the brilliance of the
meteOric display, while if, it is cloudy,
the meteOrs, of course, can not be dis
tinctly observed.
These pessimistic scientists advise
persons who are particularly anxious to
see the show to exercise the virtue of
patience for "a years more and try their
luck in 1892
However, the real men of science at
Harvard and elsewhere declare that the
meteOric display is at hand and that
all people have to do is to stay awake
O. nights and see the meteors tObOggan-
ing to the earth.
Parties have been organized here to
watch for the aerial display, and as
they were disappointed last night they
will try it again tonight.

A FAMILY LAWSUIT
over $4,000 Worth of Property
Mother and Eight Children
Involved.

Judge w. P. billiard, chairman of the
state board of railroad commissioners,
is preparing to bring a suit in the dis
trict court of Miami county in behalf
of Maggie E. Black, of Pueblo, Colo,
against Mrs. Phoebe A. Black, of Miami
county, mother of the plaintiff, over
the family estate which involves $3.50, 900
In 1877 James G. Black, father of the
plaintiff, died intestate, leaving an estate
of 1900 acres of fine land and a large
amount of personal property. The
mother, Mrs. Phoebe A. Black, was APP
pointed Administrative, and the heirs
allege that she did not make a correct
accounting of the estate. In 1890 each
of the eight children received 81, 900 and
that is all they have ever got from the
estate, according to the petition to be
filed in the case.
Mrs. Black seems to have been a wO-
man of considerable ability for amass-
ing property, for she now has 4,7O0
acres of land, $4,000 loaned out at in
terest, $4,000 in the bank, and a large
amount of personal property besides.
The suit is brought to secure to the chill
dren their proportion of the estate.

spent over the canteen Cor beer hall)
bar of six of the homes; and
Whereas, Believing that the canteens
of the army and navy are more deadly
in their results than either the Spanish
bullets or trenches; and

der-in-chief of the army and the navy,
the president of the United States has
not used his prerOgative to abolish these
canteens;
Resolved That we, the National w.
G. T. q, in convention assemb led, do
hereby pledge ourselves to use our in
fluence in every possible manner against
the inhuman treatment of our boys, by

bill may be passed.

The speaking was advertised to begin
at noon, but when that hour arrived
there were only SO men in the hail. SO
they Waited.
At 1880 o'clock there were, according
to Dir. Baylus Cade, the official counter,
800 present and Senator Butler came in.
He was greeted by faint applause, start
ed by a negro in the gallery. Five
minutes later Dr. Thompson arrived,
meeting like cold-potato reception.
Both brought a handful of papers.
Butler took the first bite ut the cher
ry, and a big bite it was, for he held on
for over two and half hours. This
completely wore out the audience, and
when DIR. Thompson got up to speak

see him deserted.
Buffers speech was along the same
line that he made at Dunn, Lumbertop,
Louisburg and Sanford. For the most
part it dealt with national questions, and
attributed 4 cent cotton to the gold
standard. He denounced the Democrats
for declining the Populist cooperation
proposition, and made weak and lame
defense of cooperation between Popu-
lists and the Pritchard- Mckinley gold
bug party. He read affidavits charging
that Democrats had appointed some ne
gro overseers of the roads, and called
upon Berry O'Kelly, (coll, of Method,
TO stand up and say if the Democrats
had not appointed him road overseer.
O'Kelly at first did not rise but later in
the speaking got up and said that he
had been overseer on strip of road
running by his place, but that no white
man had worked ON the road when he
held that position. I'D like" said But
