Hope TO Madrid.
New York., Oct. 10.-A dispatch 70
the New York Herald from Madrid
says: 1t is regarded here rs q good
sign that a large Anglo-American syn
dicate Ia forming to buy up Cuban
bonds. This, of course, is interpreted
as evidence that a satisfactory arrange
ment Is at hand.
There are two outstanding issues Of
Cuban bonds-one for sl24, 600. 900. o
per cents, issued in 1895. and the other
for Sl73, 900, 600, SIS, authorized In 1890.
OF the latter Sal 900, 900 were reserved
to retire the 8 per cent b nds, while
the remainder were sold at %. Tho c.
issued in 1885 were sold at 81. In each
case the bonds are for 500 each, or 500
pesetas. and they mature in fifty years
from date.
The amounts outstanding are $1?4,-
900, 900 of tho Us and 8l26, 500, 900 Of the
IS, or $500. 500, 100 altogether. on which
the annual interest Is SIC, 785, 900. The
interest Is payable in London, Ha-
vana, Madrid, Barcelona and Paris.
The loans are secured by NIL the reve-
nues Of the Island OF Cuba, and Ia
guaranteed by Spain.
There was n prior issue Of Cuban
bonds in 1880 to pay off the loan sd-
vanced by the Banco Hispano Colonial
to fund the Cuban floating debt and TO
exchange for these bonds tho . per
cent obligations of 1878. There were
81. ., OO0, 900 of these bonds Of 1880. and
most Of them were ~redeemable in 30
years. Most Of them were converted
into bonds of 1886, and those not con.
verted were paid of.

Seaman was the principal witness be-
fore the war investigating commission
yesterday. He complained that the
commissary supplies furnished the
troops in Porto Rico were unsuited to

that they were especially unfit for hos

suitable supplies for them from
the government depots. He confessed,
however, that he had made no formal
written requisition, but had acted
upon statements made to him inform

Of rations would be allowed, and also
admitted that the Red Cross furnished
all needed supplies, 81 there was no

The Perpetrators Unknown.

Atlanta. Ga, February IA letter was
received yesterday by Governor Atkinson
from Sheriff Patterson of Decatur county
giving the bare facts regarding the horrible
attempts of three unknown negroes, one
day last week, to burn to death the daugh-
ter of James Alday, prominent citizen
Of district remote from Geographic facil-
tiles in Decatur county.
From all accounts it appears that the
girl had occasion to go to a spring about
two hundred yards from her fathers house
and on returning, through a dense
thicket, she WIS seized by three ne
groes whom she had never seen before, and
when they discovered that she was the
daughter of Alday, two of them firmly held
her while third applied matches to The
skirts of her clothing. She was detained
until the flames were licking her face and
had eaten into her under garments ana
then released and ordered 10 fly for
her life. She ran screaming to her fathers
door, where she arrived with not shred
of clothing on her body, and literally onc
huge blister.
Immediate attention was given her and
every effort was made to save her life, but

An Expedition WIN Be Organized BY
Gen. Man. Liscomb.


Boston, December 20-General Manager
Liscomb of the Portland Steamship CON-
pany has gone to New York today for
consultation with interested persons with
regard to instituting a search for the
hull of the steamer Portland. This act
ion on the part of the company is said to
have been prompted by the fact that
private persons have the matter of under
taking the work under consideration If
the company does not care to take it up.
Lieut.. Halpine, who commanded an
expedition sent to patrol the shore waters
along the Cape. has gone over the whole
course with steamboat officials. The lieu
tenant traced on map hypothetical
course, over which the Portland sailed
that night, giving his reasons Iwhy each
step and change of course was taken,
backed by expert opinion and reports re-
ceived at the photographic office from
vessels that at the time were nearly In
the centre of the storm.
Mr.. Liscomb, that he plotted cut large
area where the ship might possibly be,
but he had in his own mind very clear
idea of about the exact spot where she
can be found.
Mr.. Liscomb wanted to know If it would
not DO advisable to let the matter stand
until the weather became more settled,
and to this proposition Lieut. Halpine
said he thought the work could he pur-
sued at the present time providing sea-
going tugs were employed.
