Cubans Around Havana Make Fes-
tive Day of the Anniversary.

Havana, Oct. 1.-THE Cubans are
celebrating this week the anniversary Of
the uprising at Yara against the Span
iards in 1868 which was the beginning
of the ten years war. The insurgent
camps around Havana are decorated
with flags and many Cuban families
from the city visited the former 'reb-
els'' carrying flowers and other gifts
to them. Gen. Mayia Rodriguez, the
insurgent leader, has been the recipient
of a number of presents from sympa-
thizers in Havana and the neighbOring
towns of Guanabacoa and San Antonio.
Yesterday Col. Hecker met with an
enthusiastic reception as he Travelled
from Guanajay to Marie1, in Havana
province. He was engaged in examin-
ing locations for camping grounds for
the American troops when they arrive.
When the train reached Guanajay the
station was crowded with persons who
shouted VIVIAN los Americanos." Col.
Hecker was struck by the orderly con-
duct of the people everywhere. Work
is being resumed, and many hutS that
had been vacant for q, long time are now
occupied by families. No starvation
was seen by Col. Hecker.
Col. Clous, secretary. of the American
commissioners, visited Captain General
Blanco today and demanded the speedy
surrender Of the ports in order that food
may be landed for the reconcentrados.
Major Beebe is still very i'll with yell
low fever. DR.. LANES diagnosis of the
case has been confirmed by local ply
sicians. Though the efforts of the Brit
ish consulate here Lorenzo Dupuy, a
naturalized American citizen, who was
arrested by the Spaniards in March last

TO AVENGE MASSACRE.
100 African Chiefs Arrested For Muir.
dering Missionaries.

Sierra Leone. Oct. 17.-Native chiefs to
the number of one hundred have been ar
rested and are awaiting trial at FreetOwn,
capital of the British colony of Sierra Lee
one, for the murder of American and other
missionaries at Kwellu, in May last. A
number of the chiefs implicated have al
ready been convicted.
The rebellion in May. 1898, which led to
the massacre of the missionaries of the
west coast of Africa, grew out of the dis
satisfaction of the natives with the impo-
sitiOn of the hut tax, and spread through
the Sherbro district, where the headquar-
tiers of the American missionaries, mem
bers of the United Brotherhood Of Christ,
were located. The insurgents burned the
mission houses and murdered a number of
American missionaries, including Mr.. and
Mrs. Cain and the Misses Archer, Hatfield
and Schenck. Other of the missionaries
Mr. and Mrs. BURNER, Mr.. and Mrs.
Minshan and the Misses Muller and Ward
succeeded in escaping to FreetOwn.
Terrible experiences were recOunted by
those who escaped For three days there
was awful bloodshed, while the natives
were engaged in the work of massacre
and destruction.
A boats's crew from a British warship
just reached mission house in time to
save Miss Muller. A number of natives,
frightfully besmeared with the blood of
earlier victims, had already surrounded the
building, when the sailors appeared the
scene and rescued the fmperiled woman.

@. G. Clemens Has a Scene With an
Irate Surname Court AppeIIant


1t Is the duty of the supreme court
reporter to prepare the records of the
different cases for publication in the
court reports, and each volume of such
reports bears the reporters name This
fact recently came near causing G. G.
Clemens, the present supreme court re-
porter. serious trouble.
The hfty-secOnd Kansas report, which
was published about three months ago,
contains the report of a case from cen
trial Kansas, which was decided lust
opposite to what the appellant thought
at ought to have been. He came to To-
peka recently, armed with the report
and hunted up Clemens Office. Mr.
Clemens tells the story:
There was a dissatisfied look In his
eye and he had about him the air of one
who is seeking revenge when he came
IN, but sat down to listen to what he
had to say He opened the book to the
place where his case was reported and
began to point out to me where the
opinion was wrong. He got excited and
I fOOiShly took the part of the Judges
and tried to convince him that the Opin-
ion was all right. It looked as though
he was about to begin hOstilities upon
my person and I FASTENED to tell him
that did not write the opinion-I was
not responsible for 1t. But you couldn't
fool him. Not muchl He knew I did
write 1t! Why, there was my name
printed on the back of the book. What
need he OF better evidence than that?
OF course I wrote that book! I couldn't
get out of it that way
1T began to look more than ever then
as If he intended to induce me to take
a whipping because the supreme court
had decided his case against him, but
by taxing my persuasive powers I final
" got him to go down and see Judge
DOster. who really wrote the opinion
I didn't wait to see what the effect was
on Judge DOster, but as soon as he was
out of sight made haste to leave be-
fore he could get back.
CAS- soon as dared venture back to
my Office I went to see the judges and
told them that the supreme court would
have to supply its employees with ample
protection, or I, for one, would not per
NIT my name to be used in connection
with the reports. I cannot afford to
run the risk Of taking a thrashing on
account of their decisions, just for the
glory of having my name printed on the
reports"
