sion in Bridgeport.
 Southington, Sept. 23.-Harry Oxley and Howard Guernsey, two young men of prominent families of this place, to Bridgeport tonight. It is alleged that the police have connected them with the Bridgeport murder case, and great sensation has been caused. OX- ley is the son of the leading stationer and periodical dealer of the town, while Guernsey is the son of sherman Guern- sey, who represented Southington in the last legislature and who is chair man of the First Congregational soci- ety and member of the school board. Guernsey, jr., has a wife and child
 The arrests were made by Sheriff Eagan at the request of Detectives Ar mold of Bridgeport and Smith of Hart ford, who drove over from Plantsville and met Sheriff Eagan. Oxley was found at his home, where he has been confined several days with cold, and Guernsey was readily located and taken to Oxley's house, and the men were then taken by a roundabout way to the depot and left on the TOY train for Bridgeport. It was stated that Detec- tive Arnold expressed himself as hav- ing no doubt that he had one of the accomplices, but which one of the men it was Is a matter of conjecture. It is not thought for a moment, however, that pither. n tho inc ii a fD- tai in the awful butehery. No one about the village seems to have any knowledge of Guernsey being in the company of Miss Gill; while 1t is well known that Oxley was acquainted with the young woman and has been in re- ceipt of frequent letters from her. What evidence the detectives have can- not be learned.
 The finding of the fragments of an Adams express money order among some rubbish in the rear yard of the house in Bridgeport occupied by Mrs. Nancy Guilford, Tuesday, was the evil dence that led to the arrest of the men. It was ascertained that the order had been sent from Plantsville. Under or ders from State Attorney Fessenden and Coroner Doten the company expos ed their records and 1t was learned that Oxley and Guernsey had sent a money order of s30 to pr. Nancy Gull ford at Bridgeport.
 Some strange Nemesis seems to pur- sue the remains of the unfortunate young victim of the murder, who has been identified as Emma Gill of this village. This morning the remains were disinterred from the Potter's field in Bridgeport and the head placed with the other portions of the body and talk en here for burial Funeral services were held this afternoon and the re- mains were scarcely again returned to the grave that Is supposed will be their final resting place, when Dr. Rosen- bluth received telegram from Coroner Doten at Bridgeport asking him to make an examination of the teeth in the head of the remains. It was then too late, as the body had been buried, but late this afternoon permit was issued and the remains will be dsin- tered tomorrow and the examination will be made Dr. Rosenbluth is the dentist who did all the work on Miss Gilps teeth.

GARCIA ENTERS SANTIAGO

 CUBAN CAYALRYMEN.
Escorted by Gen. Wood With a Part of Gen. Lawton's Staff and Several Other American Onicers-The Cuban General Pays . Glowing Tribute to America, Which He Refers to as That Colossal RepubIic.o

Whfch He Refers to as " That Colossal
 Republic.o
 Santiago, Sept. 23-To the residents of Santiago, yesterday, was the most important day since the equalization, as it was the occasion of the first vis- it of General Calixto Garcia to Sam temper on July +. at 9 o'clock in the morning, General Wood with Q part of General Lawton's staff and several other American officers met General Garcia outside the city limits and es- corted him into town. Garcia was &C., companied by his staff, his son, Col. Calixto Garcia and 200 Cuban cavalry men. The streets through which the party passed were thronged with cheer ing people and it was estimated that 10000 filled the plaza in front of the pal ace, where Garcia dismounted. He was an informal reception by the American officers was held in the audience room. At night another reception was tender ed General Garcia at the San Carlos club, which was filled with prominent Cubans, American officers and ladies. The plaza was brilliantly lighted and decorated with flags, and music was furnished by the band of the Fifth in- fantry. The Americans were in dress uniforms and General Garcia and his officers wore white uniforms and high boots.
 In reply to speech of welcome deliv- cred by Senor Trujil1o, editor of the Porven1r, General Garcia said: After thirty years of desperate, deadly strug- gle, the Cuban people to-day celebrate the success of their efforts. It is day for the remembrance for the names and deeds of those heroes who fought and died for the freedom of Cuba from the year 1868 to 1878 and for the remem- brance of the heroes who fought in the war of 1881 which was called " the little war'-little only because of its short duration, but great on account of the principles defended, and for the remem- brance of those noble soldiers who fell in the struggle began in 1895 over whose graves our latest tears have fallen.
 People of Cuba, we owe great debt to those heroes for their efforts in be- half of Cuban independence, efforts which would have been useless-no, not useless, for we would have triumphed- but not speedily effective, if the Ameri- can people, that colossal republic, with its famous fighters, great ships and dauntless army, had not sent it's own sons to shed their blood with ours. A grand nation it must be, when the sons of millionaires, who had nothin to gain in Cuba but a soldiers glory, should come here to die side by side with Cubans. To this great nation--to this noble country which has always fought for the rights of liberty-we owe the achievement of our independence and the consummation of our ideals. Our gratitude will long live for Amer ica."
 General Garcia's speech, which was delivered with considerable expression, aroused much enthusiasm among the Cubans present General Garcia will remain in Santiago for several days as the guest of the Cubans of this city.

the United States cruiser, being dis.

seven days or such time as may be nee.

that in the meantime no steps will be
taken to have her leave the French
port. The Spanish protest is an i'm.
