CUBANs TALK INDEPENDENCE
Meeting to Celebrate Anniversary oi
NInceo's Death Develops Violent
Patriotic Demonstration.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Dec. S.-A meet
ing held at the Antonio Maceo club last
night to celebrate the anniversary OF the
death of Maceo developed a violent patriotic
demonstration against the Americans. This
club represents the national party and is
composed of colored people, of whom there
were 900 present. One prominent colored
politician said during the proceedings that
the time was nearly ripe for the spirit OF
free Cuba to leap from the grave of Maceo
and to drive the intruders from the island
All criticised President McKinleys Cuban
policy, although General Quinten Bandera
disappointed his hearers by a mild speech
in which he advised patience until the
American policy had been fully defined.
The local press violently criticised Presl-
dent McKinleys message. Americans and
foreigners are hoping that the prominence
given to the color question in insular poll
tics will lead to annexation.

today, so far as the Hayward succession is
concerned due to information from Ne

fusionists in congress expressed themselves
as hopeful that Poynter had seen the way
and would follow It,
Poynter asking that Allen be appointed in
view of the logic of the situation. The at

that it was local matter and should be
settled without any outside assistance No
appointment is expected before next week.

KEARNEY, Neb., Dec. ESPECIAL Tele-
gram 1.-The mystery surrounding the double
murder that occurred at Odessa. ten miles
west of Kearney, Monday night, in which
the lives of Lillian Dinsmore and Fred Lauc
were taken, has been cleared up.
Mrs. Laue, the wife of the murdered man,
made confession, In which she charged
Frank l.. Dinsmore. husband OF the MUIR
dered woman. with committing both crimes.
The confession was made only after several
hours work with Mrs. Laue by a brother
and an uncle of the dead man. AS soon as
Mrs. Laue had confessed to them ID. Laue,
the uncle mentioned at whose house they
were staying, hitched up his team and
brought her to Kearney, arriving here at 2
o'clock this morning. County Attorney Nye
was called upon and met Mrs. Laue and the
brother and uncle of the dead man at the
city hall, where the confession was taken
down in writing and signed by the witnesses.
Attorney Nye refuses to give out any of the
contents of the confession, and the following
was obtained from a person who was wit
ness to her confession before coming to
Kearney and also when 1t was taken down in
writing:
1t seems that for several months Dins-
more has been infatuated with Mrs. Laue,
and on different occasions has tried to get
her to elope with him, which, however, she
refused to do. 1t also appears from state
ments made by her and Mrs. Dnsmore's
brothers that Dinsmore possessed hypnotic
power, which power Mrs. Laue claims to
have been under for the last six months.
Mrs. Dinsmores brothers say that he has
had their sister under his power for eev-
eral years. Dinsmore is charged with lay

Dinsmore wanted to commit the crime
Thanksgiving night, she says, but was per-
suaded to put it off by Mrs. Laue.
Monday night Mr.. and Mrs. Dnsmore hat
retired at their usual time. as also had Mr..
Laue. Shortly afterward Dinsmore came
into the kitchen where Mrs. Laue was sit
ting and told her that part of the deed was
done, and that he would have to finish the
job at once going to Laues room and shoot
ing him while he was still asleep in bed.
Diuemore then brought his wife downstairs
and placed her on the floor in front OF the
kitchen stove, where she lay until she had
been examined by doctor.
Mrs Dinsmores death was caused ty
poison probably prussic acid, as a receipt
for it's making is reported to have been
found in a desk by the man sent to Odessa
by the Omaha Elevator company to take
Dinsmore's place.
| The brothers of Mrs. Dnsmore say they
spent thousands of dollars In procuring evil
dence against Dinsmore to show their sister
that he was unfit for her to marry, but ho
possessed the power to make her love him.
1t is asserted Dinsmore has a son in Kan
sas by woman to whom he was not mar
ried and that he is guilty Of assaulting "A
young girl at Odessa, but her name is un-

The county attorney claimed that there
would be no attempt at mob law, provided
Dinsmore is convicted, yet he requested the
sheriff to have ample guards for an emer'

Over in Pinal county there is now a question of tenuFa Of appointive office. Judge cassiday, the district attorney elected last fall, is dead. Two weeks before the first of the year the repnbli- can board ct supervisors appointed a successor. Now the new board is de- mocratic, and as the people at the late election chose democrat, they natu- rally feel a member of their party should be appointed. The present in- cumbent, as the legal adviser of the board, has informed them he likes his job and thinks his appointment should hold until the next general election. So far the board has not overruled this legal advice, but they will do so if sui ficient power can be generated.-TEn. terprise.

sraln,a sunken ships FIoated.

Perhaps the greatest mechanical feat of the century has been the raising of some of the Spanish warships which were apparently shot to pieces at San tiago. It seemed utterly impossible to float them because of the terrible dam age inflicted by our guns, but the
 task has been accom- plished. Diseases
 of the blood, stomach and liver fre- uuently wreck the health so that there appears to be no chance of recovery. But when Hostetter's Stemaeh Bitters is taken, the disordered system is speedi- ly restored no it's old-time vigor and tone. The Bitters will regulate the
 liver, bowels and digestive functions aud purify the blood. You can buy this remedy in any drug store, and nnder no circumstances should you ac- cept anything said to be ''just as good. ''

Indian Hiah sInks at Arlzola.

On Thursday of last week our new popular Indian Agent at Saeaton, E Hadley, fathered about 175 Indian school children, and invaded our quiet little town, where, like so many little Brownies, they flew here, there and everywhere. Their happy voices rang merrily from the most unexpected places, a bountiful supply of good things filled numerous tubs, and as they went by in single file to get their share from each one, the gravity of the situation which seemed to. impress them st first, gave way to smile which deepened into broad grin, as with the last portion filling both arms to overiowing, they scattered about In little groups, to enjoy the dinner, the perfect day, and the kindness of the great father, as represented by Mir. Hadley, who has made himself univer- sally liked by all under him at the Agency, from the tiniest youngster to the highest official. He was ably as- sisted in entertaining by several of the ladies and gentlemen of the Agency, who apparently enjoyed the outing as we'll as the children. There was no set program, all being spontaneous, excepting fine drill given by the boys, which would do credit to any class at 6 regular military school. The director, an exceedingly bright young Indian, deserves the highest credit for his successful training of the boys.
 All too soon the bright happy day drew to q close, and the shadows began to lengthen a long line of wagons, carriages and equestrians pulled out, red letter day to all, and we, the residents, felt we also had been well favored in being allowed to con- tribute our small share towards enter taining "Uncle Sam's wards" and their worthy teachers.
