AS THIS country has made an ar
rangement with an irresponsible San
Domingo Spaniard in Cuba for the dis
tribution of the three million dollars It
has agreed to give to the alleged Cuban
army, some curiosity is expressed as TO
the reply it will make to the responsi-
BILE officials OF Free Cuba" when they
shall make their demand for that same
money, which will by that time have
better placed it where it will DO the
most good to the distributors. Might
makes right, but, for all that, from the
commencement Of the Spanish war un-
til the present, its whole course has
been marked By succession of absurd
and expensive follies.

THE BRISTOL SHOOTING.

A special from Bristol says: There
are 10 new developments in the Walk
er-Hamilton affair. The facts in the
case will not be made known until
legal proceedings are instituted as all
reports now are prejudiced from poll
tics. Excitement has subsidized and no
further trouble is feared.
When seen yesterday Mr.. Hamilton
said Certainly, l know VINO shot
me-" and expressed great surprise at
Walkers denial of having shot him.
DR.. st. John, attending physician Cd
MIR. Hamilton, thinks his patient is do
ing well, and feels assured of his re-
covery. The ball entered his body
about t inches above the navel, and
Just left OF the centre of the body.
General Walker is restless, and his
physicians will not indicate his coDdi
ton, further than to say that he is do.
ing very well. No examinations have
been made of his wounds since they
were dressed, but the physicians seem
worried about their patient on account
of high pulse non-attended by fever.
1t is the common belief now, from all
facts obtainsble, that General Walkers
condition is far more serious than was
first supposed, and that his wounds are
much more serious than is Mr.. Hamil-
toms.
The governor telegraphed to Bristol
yesterday to ask the condition of Gen.
Walker and Mr.. Hamilton. He fears
trouble in case either should die and
his purpose is to put himself in posi-
ton to send out troops on short notice
in the event they are needed.

ert Lewis, the murderer of Charles
Haynes, who is condemned to be
hanged at Atlanta, Ga. to-day, will
have the uncanny distinction of being
put to death in an execution chamber
which he himself helped to build. He
will give up his life in the Fulton coun-
ty prison and as he walks into the
death chamber to mount the gallows he
will see about him his OWE handiwork.
Several months ago Fulton county
erected new jail. Lewis was en-
Dloyed as brick and timber workman,
and he built nearly all of the death
chamber in the big prison, even assist
ing in the erection of the gallows.
Lewis secured employed on the Pru-
Dental Building in July last. He had
trouble with the foreman, Charles
Haynes, and was discharged. Lewis
waited for Haynes to leave the building
and then shot the foreman dead. He
was tried, convicted and sentenced to
death. Recently his wife walked
eighteen miles to Atlanta to see her
husband hanged, but he secured re
spite until today. She will then wit
ness the execution.
ATLANTA, Ca, March 14.-Robert
Lewis, man who had four living wives,
was hanged today for the murder of R.
II. Haynes, last December. He mount
ed the scafold with every manifestation

UNLESS there is money in it for
themselves, the members of Congress
are not disposed to vote away any for
the benefit of other people. Therefore,
the Arlington Bridge Association Of
Washington, that proposes to raise
money for the construction of bridge
across the Potomac at Arlington, may
probably do that bridge more harm
than good. It certainly can not raise
the million dollars required for such a
bridge, but the fact that it shall at
tempt to do so. may induce Congress to
withhold its help.

GENERAL OTIS, in respect OF the
Spanish prisoners il the hands OF the
Filipinos, reasons after the manner OF
General Grant in regard to the federal
prisoners at Andorsonvi'ie. He refuses
to allow the Spanish government to re-
deem them, lest the captors use their
redemption money in Strengthening
their own army. General Grant, it will
be remembered. refused to exchange
Confederate prisoners for his own SOL
diers, dying by the score at Anderson
Vile, for the reason that the former
would rejoin their regiments, while
the latter would not. The only strange
ching about this, however, is that the
Spanish war was fought in the name
of Humanity"

DEATH OF PROF. DABNEY.

Prof. Walter D. Dabney, of the chair
of common and statute law in the Uni
versity of Virginia, died on Saturday
night at his residence, near that insti-
tuition. The funeral took place at $50
o'clock this evening from the university
chapel, and the interment was IN the
university cemetery.
Professor Dabney was born in Albemarle
county. at the old homestead, 'Dunlora," in
1858. His father was prominent planter
of that county, and his mother Miss Cor
den. of Scotland. IN 1871 Prof. Dabney en-
tered the University OF Virginia with the
idea of becoming civil engineer. He took
that course for one year. The next year he
Taught at the Hanover Institute, returning IN
the fall Of 1873 to the University, where he
entered the law school and graduated with
the degree of B. L. that session. For severa
wears he practiced his profession IN Char!
lottesville, and in 1885 was elected to the
House of Delegates, remaining into his thlfd
session, when he was appointed legal secreta-
~ OF the Interstate Commerce Commission.
In 1892 he was sent TO Chicago to argue
case before Judge Gresham, then on the
United States bench. At the end of his argu-
nent the judge came down from his bench
invited him to his home and showed him
every courtesy and attention When Judge
Gresham was appointed Secretary OF State by
MT. Cleveland he sent for Senator Daniel and
incurred if he knew MI. Dabney. On re-
ceiving favorable reply. he al once an
nounced his intention 10 appoint him Solicitor
Of the State Department, and did so without
Mr.. Dabney's knowledge. His resignation.
in 1895, to take the chair of common and
statute law in the University OF Virginia, met
with universal regret in the department.
