DIR. Juuiscr's Escape.

Dr. JudRcr's Escape.
DR.. Junker, the Russian explorer, who
did not see a white person for years
while he was studying the natives and
natural history Of the Upper Mobangi
Makua River, made use of an ingenious
eXpedient to get to the coast on his way
home in 1889. He could not descend
the Nile, for the Mahdists blocked the
way. He could not follow the beaten
road by way of Victoria Nyanza, for
the Waganda and other tribes had been
killing whites, and If they did not muir
der Junker they would at least detain
him as prisoner. Arab traders would
not take him in their caravans for fear
they would lose the friendship of the
native chiefs along the road. AT last
the doctor went to one of the traders
with this proposal:
You cannot take me with you as a
friend he said, but you can take me
as a slave. Look at this" And DR..
Junker showed the trader an order
written in Arabic and signed by we'll
known firm in Zanzibar. authorizing
the doctor to make any arrangements
Africa, and the firm would honor his
drafts.
Now" continued DIR. Junker, II have
written out a contract, and II you will
sign it with me / shall reach the coast.
1t provides that when you deliver me
alive at Zanzibar the sum Of $1,000
austrian thaiers) Will be paid to you
Ly this firm. You cannot take me with
you as a traveller or a friend, and you
must, therefore, take ME as slave"
The bargain was made on this basis.
In passing through the hostile tribes
the white man was represented to be a
slave who had been purchased from a
negro tribe further north. As a slave
lie passed muster even at the court Of
cruel King Mwanga, and was allowed
to pass on in peace with his supposed
master.-Harper' Round Table.

consul general here has filed with the
United States district attorney an am
davit made by John D. Bennett, an in
ventor Of explosives, to the effect that
members of the Cuban Junta made in
quiries of him concerning explosives,
caused amusement among the members
of Cuban Junta when it was called to
their attention today. 1t was said at the
offices of the United States district at
tornev that such an affidavit was filed in
his office on March 20.
In speaking OF the matter. Mr.. Rubens,
counsel for the Junta, said: This shows
that the Spanish officials disagree with

Philadelphia, April 2.-The two old
monitors, Nahant and Lehigh. were taken
out of dry dock yesterday morning, and
the Jason and Montauk took their places.
The Nanant and Lehigh have had two
coats of paint, and the hulls above the
water line are now of a lead color, in ac-
cordance with the general order issued
by the navy department some days ago.
Four of the regular naval officers to
command the monitors have arrived at
League island. They are Capt.aaStrong,

FOR INDEMNITY.
New York Meth dists on the Loss of the
Maine.

New York, April 2.-The New York
East conference of the Methodist Episco-
pal church in session in theJanes church,
Brooklyn, today, adopted the proposition
to give the laity equal representation
with clergy in the conference. The vote
stood 1856 in the affirmative and IS in the
negative. The proposition which was sub
mitted from the general conference OF the
church emanated from the Rock River
Qllino1s) conference. Sixty -elght con-
ferences have thus far voted all rmatlvely
on the proposed new rule of the church.
The report of the committee on the state
of the country was read and unanimously
passed. 1t embodied the following reso-
buttons:
.That the destruction of the Maine and
the slaughter of SO many brave men In
a time of peace by the treacherous ex-
nlo.ion of a mine presumably by those in
sympathy with the domination and
methods of Spain in Cuba, is an act call
ing for the prompt and effective action OF
the government to secure naturalization.
"That we regard with admiration and
confidence the calmness anu forbearanoe
and firmneas which have characterized
the President and his official advisers in
the course of the delicate negotiations
with Spain, and we commend the conduct
of Congress in delaying decisive action,

FOR AN ARMICE.

Madrid, April s.-The report published
in the Impartial that United States
Minister Woodford was preparing to leave

Although there was heavy decline in
the Bourse today, which the general pub.
10 regards as ominous, it is learned that
negotiations are proceeding that much
improve the situation. Strong pressure
is being brought to bear by some of the
European powers upon the Queen Regent
and the cabinet for the granting of an
immediate armistice to take effect as
soon as the insurgents shall accept the

THE CUBAN APPEAL.

Madrid, April 2.-The impartial which
publishes the Manifesto" of the Auto
nomist government of Cuba, says some OF
the phases it contains are variously COM
mented upon. 1t adds: "But the govern
ment is pleased that the Cuban ministry
at last rejects the United States intru.
sion."
| The Ministerial Globo considers the
Cuban ministry's Manifesto" as "An
Important checking of the United States
aggressive policy"
It also says the note Of the Autonomist
government tells the United States: I'VE
are legal power, we have stability and
strength and wish to live united with
Spain. We reject the Intervention OF
those possessing neither the right nor the
occasion to intervene. After this the
Globo says 1t thinks the United States is
in earnest, adding: ''But. should war
come, we will soon be taught the incon-
venience of entering into strife wanting
in right and equity. y
The Pals. Republican, denounces the
Manifesto" as IAN assumption OF in
dependence injurious to Spain's rights
and sovereignty" and describes the para
graph appealing for President McKlnley's
support as deserving Of censure from the
Spanish government 1t adds: 1.-THE
very day Spain rejects the United States
Intervention for Cuba's independence,
the Cuban ministry performs an act OF
Independence.

WAR is AT HAND.

Washington, April Very few MEM
bers OF Congress who were seen today be-
iieVe there Is much hope of averting war
and those who do base their belief solely
upon the theory that Spain at the last
minute will yield Most of them look
upon war as certainty and already are
discussing it's probable duration, cost,
ETC. The only thing that seems to be
established definitely regarding the Presl-
dents message to Congress on Monday or
tuesday unless Spain backs down, is That
the President will not ask for further de-
lay. Whether he will make specific
recommendation or not seems yet unde-
tefmlned. He has said within few Gay /
TO prominent leaders that when ne Sent
the case to Congress he would share WIN
that body the responsibility for Whatever
course was decided upon. On the other
hand, there is an intimation thai tne
PRESIDENT may wish Congress to assume
tne initiative. If he puts all she fespoh-
sibility on Congress, said Republican
representative, Fit will sober that body
perhaps
There is said to be an attempt on the
part OF certain conservative senators TO
prevent any stronger action by congress
that the recognition Of Cuban lnoepen-
dence in the hope that the negotiations
may then be re Opened and war averted
But the prevailing sentiment at this
moment seems to be to go further and en-
force recognition by armed Intervention
This is the position taken by. Gen,
Grosvenor of Ohio i'll his speech last
Thursday. Gen. Grosvenor says that II
war is declared he is in favor of authoriZ-
ing the President to call out 2,oO0,O 900 men
and use as many as are necessary to
make the war short, sharp and decisive.
The ultra conservatives are basing their
opposition to intervention on the ground
of Spain's recent revocation of the recon-
centrado decree and her measures for
feeding and otherwise relieving their

ACCUSED OF CRIME OF TEN
YEARS ago.

Sanford, April 2.-Reed Ling, consta-
bic at Sanbornville, N. H., was here to-
day in search of evidence against William
+. Mason, who is under arrest at Ossipe,
N. H., for the murder of an unknown
man about 10 years ago. In an interview
with the Associated Press representative
today, Edwin j. Murray, stable keeper
at Springvale, said that in the fall of
1887, he let team to stranger to go to
the home of VIM. f. Mason, alias Pete
Shackley, at Horns Mills, in the town OF
Shapleigh. The stranger WAS well
dressed and appeared to be business
man. 1t was late in the afternoon when
the stranger applied for the team, and
said he would return late that night or
early the next morning. He never re-
turned, but the team was brought back
by Shackley at O'CLOCK in the morning
of the third day. minus a mat at the bot
tom of the carriage.
Shackley told Murray that the stranger
had taken train at Sanbornville, N. H.,
and would settle for the team when ne
came to Springvale again. Murray mas
never seen the stranger since then. He
afterward asked Shackley about the
stranger and Shaokley said he did not
know his name and had not seen him
since. Murray described the stranger as
being five feet, four or five inches in
height and Weighing about $50 pounds.
He had brown hair and moustache, no
beard and was dressed in dark clothes.
