Fesentatiye Otis. 1t was prepared by
Coi. Campbell, and makes two pages in
a late extra edition of the Evening
Press, the organ of the anti-Hanna
coalition.
n summary Of the long story, accord
ing to Col. CampbeIl's statement. is that
Harry b. BOyce, of New York. and
formerly of Los Angeles, called on Col.
Campbell last Friday at he latter's Of
flee in Cincinnati, and offered Campbell
$1,000 as fee to get Representative
Otis to vote for Hanna. Campbell and
Otis had frequent meetings with BOyce,
who claimed to be representing J. Pier
pont Morgan and others who have in
terests in Ohio.
Col. Campbell and Representative Otis
say they determined to give Boyce all che
latitude he wanted, and set trap to
catch him. Hollenbeck, who was said
to be the middle man, was also taken
into their counsel, according to the
statements. Campbell and Otis say the
money was produced and that they are
holding it in trust, and that statement
accordingly will be made in the house
tomorrow.
Following the publication Of this story
tonight the following was given out
from the Hanna headquarters:
THE charge that Representative Otis
has been offered a bribe by a represen-
tative of Senator Hanna is denounced
at Senator Hanna's headquarters as not
only false in every particular, but char
acteristic of the campaign Of tricks and
treachery that Kurtz, A. 0. Myers and
their associates have carried on ever
since the Senatorial question came up.
1t has been known to the Republican
managers for a considerable time that
this stage play for effect was contem-
plated. It is known positively that
Allen 0. Myers said several days ago
that he expected to see some members
rise in his place on the day Of the first
Senatorial ballot and produce five or ten
thousand dollars which he would state
had been given him as bribe to vote
for Senator Hanna.
''It is also known that another news
paper, which has fought Mr.. Hanna
viciously from the time that he assumed
charge of the national campaig in 1896,
dispatched a mysterious messenger in
Ohio recently with large sums of money,
and it is not improbable that numerous
other bribery fakes will be sprung upon
the public from day to day in the effort

WILLING TO ACCEPT AID.
Bryan Wants Democrats, populists and
Silver Republicans to Unite.

Chicago, an. 10.-W.aJ. Bryan, in CON
ciudlng speech beafoTe the Bryan
League at the fremont House during a
banquet held after the Auditorium
meeting early this morning, made some
remarks which are interpreted as show
ing his intentions if he is nominated for
the Presidency in 1900. In speaking of
the next Presidential election, Mr.. Bry-
an said:
1T may be we will be strong enough
to win without any outside help. But
nevertheless l prefer to win with the
Populists on enc side and the free sill
yer Republicans on the other And we
@ust not forget when the victory is won
chat in the campaign of last year it
took more courage on the part Of the
Free silver Republicans to desert their
old party and more self-sacrifice on the
part of the Populists to go outside of
their organization for Presidential
candidate, because he agreed with them
on the paramount issue than it did for
the Democrats to support the ticket
Which was nominated by their own ma
t.onal convention"

MRS. MACK SENTENCED
GETS FIFTEEN YEARS IN STATE PRISON
AT AU8RN
She Received Her Sentence Calmly Thorn
Showed Very Little interest When Informed
Of Mrs. Nack's Sentence.

New York, Jan. 10.-Mrs. August
Mack, Jointly charged with Martin
Thorn, of the murder of William Gull
densuppe, a bath rubber, at Woodside,
l.. L.. IN June of last year, was today
sentenced to 10 years in the State prison
at Auburn. The good time allowance
attainable would reduce the term to ten
years and five months.
Thorn was sentenced to be electro
.cuted during the week, beginning today
but the appeal by his attorney acted as
a stay. Mrs. Mack received her sentence
calmly. She will be taken to Auburn as
soon ais the necessary forms of pro
ceedure can be gone through with.
In sentencing her, the court sought
to impress upon her that although she
was equally guilty with Thorn, she had
made a wise move when she decided to
become a witness for the State. Judge
Garretson said the court was bound to
recognize the assistance Mrs. Mack had
rendered in testifying against Thorn.
When Thorn was informed by Warden
Sage at Sing Sing, of the sentence, he
showed but little interest. Thorn said
he would rather have died today than
have any further delay. He intimated
that he did not expect q new trial or a
commutation of the death sentence.

COMMITTEE EEDNESOEY
Mr Washbun -rges Popuists 10 Break Away
from the emocrats and Make the
FighI Independently.

Boston, Mass, Jan. 10.-Interesting
developments are expected at the meet
ing Of the Reorganization Committee Of
the Peoples Party, which is to be held
in st. Louis January 10Th. Members Of
the National Committee and other prom
inent leaders Of the party will also be
present. This meeting is an outgowth Of
the Nashville conference, held last Feb
ruary.
Shortly after the close tAe national
campaign, Mr.. George f. Washburn, of
Boston, member of the National Ex-
ecutive Committee Of the Peoples Party,
issued an appeal, urging that the Popu-
lists break away from the Democrats
and conduct their fight independently.
he favored the national conference at
Nashville, at which the present Re-or-
ganizatiOn Committee was created.
Last November the Executive Com
mittee of this reorganization met and
issued a call for the full committee to
meet next Wednesday, recommending
that they issue a call for a nominating
convention, to be held next spring for
the purpose of adopting a platform and
placing a Presidential candidate in the
field.
Lnis has again aroused Mr.. Washburn.
who contends that if nominating con-
vention is called by any other authority
than the National Committee it would
mean a national bolt, and the organiza-
tion Of a separate party.
AS a substitute for the proposed NOM
mating ionvention Mr.. Washburn urges
that joint meeting of the two commit
tees referred to be held in the spring, the
proposed nominating convention aban-
doned, and at this joint meeting a plan
of action for the party outlined and
adopted.

PORT MAYARl ATTACKED
BONE AR0MENT BY The INSURGENTS
VERY SEVERE
Began Canoonadng at Six A. NJ, And Quit at
DARK Another FiI.bustering Expedi-
ton Successfully Landed

Havana, Jan. 10.-The insurgents are
beseiging and have attacked the port
of Mayari, on the north coast of the
province Of Santiago de Cuba. Troops
have gone from Gibara, the northern
port in the same province, to relieve
the garrison of Mayari.
News from Spanish sources Just re-
ceiYed here give an account of what
appears to have been a gallant defense
of a fort in Santiago de Cuba by Span
ish troops. 1t seems that the principal
fortification protecting the buildings of
the central plantation of Ysabel, be-
longing to Beattie d Co., an English
concern, at Media Luna, near Mant-
anillo, was attacked by a strong inSur-
gent force during the night of January
End. The insurgents had with them.
it is claimed, a rapid fire cannon, which
they placed in position at about six
hundred metres from the fort and be-
hind an embaBkment of earth a yard
thick and about eighteen inches high.
At the same time 200 insurgents captur-
ed the machinery house of the pIanta-
tion.
The fort defending the latter consisted
of brick building, two stories high,
and on the form of a cross. 1t was
surrounded by wire fences and bitches,
and was garrisoned by ninety-six sol
diers, under the command Of Captain
Esteban Benedicto Manilo, who had two
lieutenants under him.
AT o'clock in the morning the insur-
gents began cannonading the Spanish
fort and at 2 o'clock in the afternoon
they began an attack upon it from both
sides of the river, trying to take it by
assault, but they were repulsed At 3
O'Clock in the afternoon the Spanish re-
port continues, the insurgent infantry
made a second attack upon the fort and
the Spaniards again drove them. There
upon the insurgents resumed their ar
tillery fire and kept it up until dark.
The bombardment Of the fort was
quite severe. The insurgents fired
sixty-four cannon shots and several of
the projectiles exploded within the fort,
destroying its walls and compelling the
garrison to seek refuge behind the earth
works. From this the soldiers continued
the fight and succeeded in beating off
the enemy.
During January 4th, the fort was re-
lieved by Captain Organ, in command
of the local guerilla forces of Niuuera
and a detachment of Spanish infantry,
reinforced by two cannons. The Span
iards then attacked the insurgents
earth-works and are said to have com
pellad the enemy to retire with severe
loss. The garrison of the fort lost
seventeen men killed and thirty-three
wounded. 4
The government has extended for two
months the period during which cattle
may be imported into Cuba from the
United States free Of duty. The Amer
lean steamer Cochio has arrived here
with 100 bo, of condensed milk, one
of glass ware and % packages Of pro-
visions for the contentrados.

extracts:
"Newbern, N. c., Jan. 10, 1898.
THE Hancock scandal is the most
low, contemplate and rotten ever made
public here The sense of it is that
Robert Hancock, president of the At
lantic and North Carolina Railroad, and
an already rotten Republican leader in
this county, is charged with seducing
his eighteen-year-old niece. The first
offense she charges, was in New York,
at the Astor House. and at this point
comes a long story. Remarks Hancock
made to the girl while spreeing caused
the girls mother to press her for facts,
when she breaks down and tells the
story-and pitiful one too.
Papers have been filed with the
sheriff charging Hancock with seduction
and for damages. Hancock, | think,
came in here from Goldsboro on q
special over the Atlantic and North
Carolina Railroad this morning early.
EVERY effort is being made by Han
cocks relatives to keep it out of court,
