A CONVERTED CONVICT
RETURNS TO HIS OLD WAYS OF
WICKEDNESS
Ballington Booths Pretty Secretary
Sandbagged by Disappointed
Lover-Made Mistake

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-As the result of
an attempt at assassination Captain
Annie p Hughes of the Volunteers of
America, and secretary to Commander
Ballington Booth, lies in critical con-
dtion in Orange, N. J. She was sand
bagged within a short distance of her
home and the blow caused concussion of
the brain.
Erich A. Prisman. alias George Bell, a
former convict. who recently was dis
charged from Commander Booths staff
at the Volunteer headquarters, has been
arrested on suspicion of being the
would-be murderer
The incentive for the deed, according
to the police, was revenge for having
been dismissed and because the prison.
er's attentions to Major Jennie Hughes,
sister of the captain, were rebuked. The
police think that Prisman mistook cap
tain Hughes for her sister when he dealt
the blow.
The assault was committed week
ago. but has been kept secret by the
police of Orange until Prisman could be
caught When arraigned in the police
court sandbag made of heavy cam
vas was exhibited as the weapon with
which the assault was committed.
The sandbag was one which had been
presented to Mrs. Ballington Booth as
a memento of her rescue work and was
kept locked in a drawer of her desk.
A few days before the assault the desk
drawer was broken open and the sand
bag removed. 1t was replaced in the
same mysterious way and was found
there, soiled and burst last Monday.
Captain Hughes is only 10 years old
and a girl of much attractiveness. Her
sister, Jennie Hughes, is tall, hand
some girl 90 years of age. They are
daughters of Rev. George Hughes, for
fifty years Methodist minister and at
present editor of a religious monthly
magazine published in this city.

IN COMMITTEE
Information Asked Concerning the
Execution of Ruiz

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.--The House
Committee on Foreign Affairs today
agreed to make a favorable report on
the resolution of Mr.. williams of Mis-
souri, asking the Safe Department for
information on the Ruiz case. The reso-
luton Is as follows:
Resolved, That the Secretary of State
be directed, II in his opinion compatible
with the public interest, to send to the
House the reports made to the depart
ment by Consult General Lee and other
reports made to the department by con-
suls or commercial agents of the United
states, on the subject Of the execution
of Colonel Ruiz by the Cuban military
authorities.
There was no division over the resolu-
tion and the vote was unanimous in
favor Of reporting 1t. Beyond this there
was no reference to the Cuban question,
except in reference to the sub-commit-
tee of the various Cuban resolutions in
troduced recently.
The Ruiz referred to In the resolution
is not DR.. Ruiz, killed at suburb IF
Havana, whose case has attracted much
attention, but is Col. Ruiz, the Spanish
officer at Havana, who Is said to have
gone under a flag of truce to meet the
insurgents and urge them to accept au-
tonomy. After entering the insurgent
lines his proffer of autonomy was re-
jected and he was executed by order Of
the insurgent commander.
Williams, author of the Ruiz res0lue
tion. says the inquiry is for the purp1nh
of correcting public misapprehension
as to the facts in the execution Of Col.
Ruiz. The latter Williams says, never
had the right to claim immunity under
flag of truce. as he had been warned by
the insurgent commander, Arangueron,
that he would be amenable to the do.
crees of the insurgent government. one
of which was that any person entering
the insurgent camp and proposing aut-
onomy would be treated as a spy. Will
liams says there is authority for stating
that Col. Ruiz entered Arrangements
camp with this understanding and took
his chances accordingly. He said also
that he urged autonomy and suggested
that specific benefits would be conferred
upon the insurgent leaders IL they ac-
cepted the proposition. One OF Arangue-
ren's associates demanded that he do
his duty in accordance with the decree
of the insurgent government. whereupon
Ruiz was shot.

DOESN'T CARE TO TALK
WHILE CONGRESS CONSIDERS
ANNEXATION
President Dole Duly Waylaid by
Ambitious Reporters in Towns
He Passes Through

SALT LAKE, Utah. Jan. 21.-A spe-
cial to the Tribune from Rawlins, Wyo.,
says:
President Sanford B. Dole, president of
the Hawaiian republic and his party
passed through here this evening en-
route to Washington.
Mr.. Dole was questioned concerning
the purpose of his visit and the chances
for securing annexation. He said he
preferred not to talk for publication on
annexation matters while the question
was directly before congress. He had
been sent to the United States by the
council of statehood because it was the
general desire of influential men OF Ha-
waii that he should come for the pur-
pose of comforting with the Hawaiian
delegation at Washington and with
President Mckinley and the officers OF
his administration.
If it was desired, he said he was pre-
pared to give all the information on Ha-
waiian affairs at his command to these
officers.
Concerning the franchise in Hawaii,
President Dole said the sentiment was
strongly against extending it to Japa-
nese and Chinese residents.
In the event of failure to secure an
nexation, President Dole thought the
present form of government would be
continued. The growth and CONNER
cial Importance of the islands would be
greatly retarded if annexation should
fail. Should the treaty be ratified the
close relations would afford great OPP
portunity for American capital and la
Dor on the islands.

The Democrat OF this city runs
a very appropriate and significant

tusloM ANo kRINcI>LE.

The La Junta Tribune is not
pleased with the fusion Of the sill
yer republicans, democrats and
populists, describing fusion as ''an
alliance for Office aud revenue
only" The Tribune did not talk
thus one year ago. when the fus-
ion was for the benefit OF the gold
bug wing. Then fusion was just
the thing. But what can be more
consistent than fusion OF all the
parties which favor free silver?-
Rocky Ford Enterprise.
The TRIBUNE is not particularly
displeased with the "fnsion OF sill
yer republicans, democrats and
ropulists. II in the exercise OF
the rights guaranteed them by the
constitution of "lif ), liberty and
the pursuit OF happiness, they see
lit to fuse, the TRIBUNE will not
say them nay. What we are par
ticularly displeased with IS the mo-
tive which it is declared made fusion
possible. The fusionisis claim they
were actuated by "principle" and
a desire to boost the silver cause.
No man with an atom oil sense will
take any stock in this sort oi
buncombe. Why not be honest
about the matter, and admit that
fusion was brought about ior the
purpose OF electing variegated
ticket to office and acquiring the
emolumcnts anu revenues thereto
attached.
Fusion always was and always
will be an unholy aliiance for
office and revenue only. There Is
no principle at stake upon which
the result OF ,iI- el,ction wiz have
the least bearing. The two wings
OF the republican party would pro-
badly have fused this Year had il
not been Tor few disgruntled
Tellerites who are AIT too eager to
follow the .'grand old man" into
the sheltering fold of democracy,
and that is where they properly
belong. The sooner they get their
bearings, and drop the qualifying
adjective to designate their brand
OF republicanism the better it will
be Tor all parties concerned. Be
a repuplicaa or democrat, some
thing or nothing.

Two trainloads of the Ninth
United States Cavalry compris-
ing about 1000 officers and m. n
passed through this city last
Sunday evening about 6 o'clock.
The Ninth is composed exclu-
sively of colored men, and about
one-half of the regiment was
in the thickest ofthe battle at San
tiago de Cuba. The men were a
very sturdy and healthy looking
lot, and certainly belle the tales
of the democratic press concern
ing the treatment accorded by the
government to the soldiers. These
men were Injured to hardships, and
had no complaint to make of their
treatment. One of them remarked
that while the government did not
furnish pie to the troops, the fare
was about equal to that to which
he had been accustomed. Some
of the recruits were unable to
stand the fare Of raw bacon and
hardtack and as q consequence many
of them sickened and died. These
troops, however. appear to have
grown healthy and lat on the diet.
The regiment divided at this point,
some of the men going to Fort
Logan and the balance south to
garrison vssious western forts.
