BETHEL.
A nRokEN DOWN MAN IS COMMUNICATIONS

BROKEN DOWN MAN IS COUNTERFEITER
HOYT.
Roswell d. Hoyt, the counterfeiter,
who created such excitement in Danbury
and Bethel in 1894 when he was arrested
for counterfeiting, has been granted
pardon by President Mckinley. He was
brought to the home of his brother, Lo-
ronzo Hoyt, in Grassy Plain in hack on
Tuesday, being accompanied by Officer
Taylor OF Wethers6eld. Mr. HOyt ia q
broken down man, having creeping paral-
ysis and kidney affection. 1t will be re-
membered that Hoyt was convicted of
cOunterfeiting in 1894, and was sentenced
to eight years in states prison. His sen.
tence would not expire until 1901. He ls
about 81 years of age. The pardoning of
HOYt will recall the capture of the coun-
terfeiters who had their headquarters in
Bethel. For week or more Bethel was
thoroughly shaken by the discoveries
which were made within its limits. Sc.
cTet service men made their headquarters
In Danbury for considerable time, pay

movements were closely watched by the
people of both places. When they dis
covered the counterfeiters' press and
plates and a quantity Of counterfeit
money in a Bethel mans house, the ex-
element was intense, and the arrests
which were made about the same time
added fuel to the general interest. The
News says that Hoyt's pardon was Sc
cured mainly through W. S. Workman
and United States Senator o. Fl. Plat.
Mr. Workman for long time past has
been working for the release of Mr. Hoyt.
He met with many obstacles but never
gave up hopes of securing his pardon.
and stuck to the case with the energy
and zeal that is characteristic of the
representative. Mr. Workman called the
attention of Senator Platt to the case,
and prevailed on him to take up the work
Of securing the pardon of Mr. HoYt.

The thoroughly disgusting and cor
rupt methods Of the average Spanish Of
fetal, are almost hard to be believed on
this side of the globe. In this connec-
ton the Springfield Republican give this
timely information as to Spanish "diplo-
macy in the Philippines; 1.-The charac-
ter of the old leaders of the insurgents in
the Philippine Islands is disgustingly
corrupt. Aguinaldo, ArtaCho and some
30 others we're paid $500, 900 by the Span
ish government to desert their cause and
followers and to leave the islands. The
sum was placed in banks at Hong Kong
subject to the order of Aguinaldo, and
this precious patriot thereupon refused
to "diVvy' with his "pals" in the great
game of "sell." The whole story of the
transaction and the quarrel among the
lnsurgent leaders over the bride money
came out when one of them secured an
Injunction from the English court at
Hong Kong to restrain Aguinaldo from
drawing from the banks the $500, 900. 1t
is with such men that American officers
in that region will have to deal"

WEDNESDAY,,

The government has decided upon an
immediate military campaign in Cuba
In the opinion of the administration, the
naval situation has 80 changed as to war
rant landing troops in the Island despite
the fact that the Spanish fleet has not
vet been defeated. The President and
his advisers are opposed to pursuing a
temporizing policy in the war with Spain,
and emphatic objections exist against al
lowing the elusive fleet of the Spanish
to figure any longer as cause for post
poniug the military occupation of Cuba
Weather.-Fair and warm.
