PROMINENT MEN ACCUSED
Two Preachers and an Editor Charged With
Burning Indians.
They Refuse to Waive Examfnn tion
and Demand an Immediate
Hearing in the Case.

SHAWNEE, o. T., February 10.-The
preliminary hearing of P. Smith, W. H.
Davis and Ed. Nix, charged with con-
spiracy to burn the Seminole Indians Nc
Goisy and Sampson, has been begun before
Commissioner Galbraith. Nix is nephew
of ex-United States Marshal Nix. and Davis
is the editor of the Earlboro' Plain People.
Among the eleven culprits who had pre-
viously been held for trial were two
pr prea:hers, one a Methodist and the other
a Baptist.
The defendants arraigned yesterday re-
fused to waive examination, denying any
completely in the conspiracy, and demand
ed an immediate hearing.
Harry Brown, witness for the govern
ment, testified that two nights before the
burning he, in company with four Semi
mole Indians, went to Leard's house, where
the young Indians We're held, and demand
ed their surrender to the proper author
tiles. They were under guard of about
fifty armed MEN, among whom he recog
niZed the defendants. Fires had been built
around the house and patrol established.
A mCo denied Browns request and ordered
him off the premises. J. NJ. Glover,
farmer, living near Earlboro, identified
Smith as having said to him at Earlboro'
on the evening of the burning that some
Indians were going to burn that night at
Maud and he was going down.
Deputy Sission reports that about twenty
of the culpritS who nave been hiding came
into Tecumseh and gave themseiv up.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
HAVANA, February 0, via Key West,
Fla, February 10-Officials here are await
ing fuller information regarding Sagasta's
note. When it's full purport is known it
may have an influence on public sentiment
regarding the failure of Blancos efforts to
treat with the insurgents. 1t is not believ-
ed here that its tone is as defiant as Madrid
advices say. That is understood to be for
the purpose of satisfying the Spanish popu-
lace. The authorities. however, understand
that Sagasta rejects absolutely the right of
American Intervention. Their part is to
make a showing for autonomy and post
pone a square issue with the United States
Following Blancos failure and the i'm
possibility of giving any evidence Of prog
resS in ending the insurrection the task of
Spain's representatives in Cuba is hopeless.
Congosto Is said to be responsible for the
muddle over the alleged failure of Lee and
Sigsbee to comply with the requirements
of official, etiquette by calling on the au-
tonomist cabinet when the Maine arrived.
The officials wanted to convince the people
in Spain of the excessive friendliness of the
United States. Lee and Sigsbee called on
Acting Captain General Parade, who rep
resented Spain's authority superior to the
strictly observed, but this did not seem to
satisfy De LONE and Congosto. They
wanted to use the presence of the Maine
for Spains purposes. They failed, hence
their resentment. PEPPER.

CADETS NOT PENsIONABLE.
Decision on the Application of Irving
G. ROssc.

Decision on the Applfcat of Irving
G. Rossc.
Webster Davis, assistant secretary of the
interior, made several decisions today In
pension claims appealed from the rejection
by the pension bureau, among them being
one of especial interest, as it involves the
penSionable status of cadets of the United
States Military Academy at West Point.
The claim is that of Irving c. Rosse, cadet
United States Military Academy from July
1, 1863 to January %, 1864. for pension un-
der the act of June %, 1890. In his decision
the assistant secretary says:
THE claim has no legal foundation. 1t
does not fall within the scope of the act of
June %, 1890 To hold that Congress by
the passage of said act intended to confer
a pensonab!e status on cadet at West
Point who was there for the purpose of Sc
curing an education at the expense of the
government, with the prospect of some time
being in the active military service of the
United States, would be to hold an absurdi-
ty. Besides. the discharge from the acade-
my is not such an honorable discharge from
the service of the United States as is con-
templated by the second section of the act
of June -, 1890
1T is conceded, as contended in tie ap-
peal that the cadets of the United States
Military Academy are by law part of the
United States army, and that the applica MT
was therefore in the army for period of
more than ninety days while the war was
going on, but the organization to which ne
belonged was not intended at the time he
was connected with it to render active mill
tary service in the suppression of the re-
DelIlon, and did not render such service.
The second section of the act of June 81
1880, refers to officers and enlisted men of
organizations which We're intended to par
ticipate in active military operations look
ing to the suppression of the rebellion. The
claim is therefore rejected

WILL NOT BE BARRED.
Long Contest in the Invalid PEN
siOns COMMITTEES Eaded.


The contest which has been waged in the
House committee on invalid pensions ever
since the assembling of Congress over the
question of barring from the pension rolls
the widows and children Of soldiers who
marry hereafter came TO an end today in
the defeat of the pI pIoposition.
A measure with this end in view was in
troduced by Representative Samuel Smith
of Michigan, and it had the Endorsement Of
Commissioner of Pensions Evans. The
question has been agitating. the committee
at each of it's meetings, and today, after
very spirited discussion, Representative
Norton of Ohio b- .ught it to sudden close
by demanding a vote on the question of ia
vcrably reporting it to the House The
vote disclosed five members of the commit
tee in favor of it and seven against it, the
division not being on party lines. The di-
vision was as follows:
Yeas-Ray (N.Y), Warner Qll.), Henry
Comm, Smith Mich), republicans, and
briggs, democrat (N.Y)
Nays-Sulloway (N.HD, Kerr (Ohio). Glib
son Tenn), Sturtevant Pa), republicans;
Norton (Ohio) democrat. and Botkin Qian)
and Castle (Cal), populistsj
This probably ends the effort to secure
the enactment of a general measure along
these lines at this session. Chairman Ray,
who was instructed at the last meeting to
appoint a subcommittee to draft service
pension bill, notified the committee today
that he would appoint the committee In a

Jury ARE COWARDS."
So Said AdOlph Luetgert Regarding g
the Verdict in His Case.

CHICAGO. February 1O.-"That jury was
a pack of cowards,'' said Adolph L. Luet
CERT at the county Jail today. The big
sausage maker exhibited some anger as he
spoke. II they had been men-men of
nerve and character continued Luetgert,
there would have been no compromise
verdict
They did not decide the case on the law
and the evidence. They simply compro-
missed. 1 am either guilty or 1 am inno-
cent. If l am guilty 1 deserve death-they
ought to hang me as high as Gilroy's kite
If l am innocent 1 am entitled to my lib
erty. Luetgert is as innocent of the crime
charged against him as any man who walks
the streets of Chicago. There should have
been no halfway verdict in this case. 1t
is said that l laughed last night when the
verdict was read That is true. l did
laugh. l have laughed since. l laughed
because the verdict to me is a ridiculous
farce, and it is cowards verdict. They
didn't have the nerve to find me not guilty
when they saw the evidence did not prove
my guilt. SO they compromised.
The case will go to the Supreme Court
and eventually L will be free

TALK AT THE CAPITOL

MADRID, February 10.-At a meeting of
the Spanish cabinet held today under the
presidency of the queen regent, the min
lister for foreign affairs, Senior Gullon, read
a dispatch from Senor Dupuy De LONE
the Spanish minister at Washington, say
alejas was written by him, and that his
position, consequently, had become unten-
able, and he begged the government to ac-
cept his resignation. The cabinet decided
to accept the resignation of Senor Dupuy
De Lome and the ministers subsequently
met and decided to telegraph to Senior De
LONE. accepting his resignation, and in
trusting the first secretary with the con-
duct Of the current affairs of the legation.
Guarding Minister WOOdfOrd.
The news of the De LONE incident was
received too late yesterday evening to OBJ
tain opinions The government press natu-
rally ascribed its authorship to the Cuban
jingoes, the Washington State Department
announcement that De LONE had admitted
the genuineness of the letter not being re-
ceived until early this morning. Senor
Canalejas was out Of town, but his secre-
tary said he had never received any such
letter from De LONE.
For some time past the authorities here
have been taking extra precautions in
guarding the residence of the United States
minister, General Stewart L. Woodford
which is on the outskirts of the city. On
Sunday the guard was reinforced by twen-
ty-four men, and the Heraldo says that
even this was not considered sufficient All
day long additional precautions were adopt
ed, evidently under the impression that
public order might be disturbed, and num-
Der of mounted civil guards were posted in
the vicinity. Thereupon the Heraldo asks
whence the necessity for these precautions
since Madrid has offered absolutely not a
single symptom of justifying such meas
ures.
All the newspaper comments on the SUBJ
ject bitterly denounce "the business of
stealing and publishing private letter.
After the cabinet council the premier,
Senor Sagasta, told the correspondent of
the Associated Press that Senior Dupuy de
LONE had 'bravely'' admitted the author
ship of the letter.
Comment in London.
LONDON, February 10.-The St. James
Gazette this afternoon alone comments up
on the De LONE incident. 1t says:
''Senor de LONE has resigned, ard 1t was
the right course, whether he wrote or did
not write the letter; but the incident is
bound to make unpleasantness between the
two governments and add to the chances
of trouble about Cuba, which are by no
means few as certain authorities profess
to believe
