THE CUBAN MUSTER ROLLS
To be Accepted by General Brooke,
Americans to Accept No Pay

Havana, April Ex-Governor Genera
Brooke, in the distribution of the 49,
900, 900 to the Cuban soldiers, has de-
termined to treat the Cuban officers
as soldiers and gentlemen and not to
endeavor to go behind the rolls they
submit; hence the Cuban lists will be
accepted on their face with the elimi-
nations, as previously cabled-namely,
those who entered the army after July,
1898, and those who are actually hold
ing office. Any Cuban named on the
lists who is identified by his captain
will get a share. General Gomez will
also probably receive a share. The
names of several American newspaper
correspondents are among the %privates.
Those men who are now in Havana ask
hat the word Honorary" be put after
their names and nou that they
will not take their portions.
Lionel E.. G. Garden, British consul
general at Havana, has notified Colo
mel Tasker H. Bliss, secretary Of the

hewitt, who was assistant United
States district attorney in this city
during the administration Of President
Harrison, vas taken into custody by
secret service men on a warrant sworn
out by Chief Wilkie, charging him with
bringing Detective McManus, OF the
Philadelphia Office. He was given a
private hearing before Commissioner
Edmunds and held in SIS, 900 bail which
was furnished by a wealthy friend. 1t
was shown t the hearing on March
9th hewitt gave McManus $500 as a
bride and on March 28th $500 more.
This money was turned over to Mr..
Wilkie as oon as 1t was received.
According to the story told by one OF
the officers, Kendig, Of Lancaster sus-
pected early this year that he and his
confederates were being watched by Sc
cret service men in Lancaster. He
came to this city and engaged hewitt

the case. Burns was not approached.

THE THRILLING EXPERIENCE

Martfal In Nicaragua

OF an American Who Was Shot, But
Only Wounded, by Order of a Court.
Martial i'm Nicaragua
New Orleans, April 19.-Dr. A. Chap
man, of CORTLAND, Miss, twice report
ed dead, has arrived here on the steam
err Franklin from Bluefields, Nicara-
qua Dr.. Chapman, who was a surgeon
in the insurgent army, tells a thrilling
story of his escape from President Ze-
laya's forces. He was captured on
February Oath near Rama, while in
company of Stephen Powers, an Eng
1ish subject, and also a member of the
revolutionary party. A court-martial
followed the capture, the men being
tried as spies. They were condemned,
and sentenced to be shot.
A strange feature of the affair was
that the sentence was actually carried
out. Stephen Powers fell dead at the
first fire, but Chapman was merely
wounded in h left arm. He fell to the
ground, however, and thinking they
had killed him, they walked Off. Chap
man made his way to Bluefelds.
Jack Martin, the American gunner
of the San Jacinto, who was captured
by Zelaya's soldiers, has been tried and
convicted. Sentence had not been fin
ally pronounced when Chapman left.
Martin will undoubtedly be shot.

Judge Purnell, of the United States
district court, returned today from
Elizabeth City, where he held a term
of court, or rather went through the
form. for there was not a case tried.
There are very few United States COM
m~issioners in that section and as yet

Two cases Of smallpox were yester-
day taken to the pesthouse. One OF

the disease. In two or TIN &c houses the
FURNITURE, etc, has been burned. AT
some Of these places no yellow flags
are displayed, but there is a guard day
and night.
State Treasurer Worth's ruling that
at the dispensaries liquor can be sold
only on prescription by a physician is
laughed at b. some of the lawyers. 1t
is quite certain that a test case will be
| made. 1t certainly was not the irten-
ton of the legislators to have any
| such provision in the bill. That was
| made very clear by their speeches. No
| doubt the matter will soon go into the
| courts. 1t is very safe to say that the

Atlanta where he has been to examine
the sites offered by the city for the new
national prison for which congress ap-
p%ropriated SG15,O00. The choice lies
between what are known as the Geor-
gia Central and the Dickey sites. The
latter is considered the most desirable,
but it is the more expensive and the
attorney general does not feel like sad
ding the city of Atlanta with too much
expense. Today he wrote a letter to
the owner of the Dickey site asking for
a specific proposition and If it is not
satisfactory the Georgia Central site
will be selected.

BIG CONTEMPLATING CASE
The Amount OF stamps COunterfefted
Not KnOwn-WOrking up of the
Cases

Washington, April 20.-The officials
of the internal revenue bureau are un-
able ven to approximate the amount
of the counterfeit evenu stamps
made use of by the Lancaster Pennsyl-
vania cigar manufacturers who were
placed under arrest yesterday.
Several months ago the agents of the
bureau received information that there
was something wrong with these fac
tories and at once set about uncovering
it, but had not proceeded far before
they became aware that the secret ser
vice agents were watching the factories
for another purpose, and at the request
officers were directed to abandon the
case.
A special revenue agent from Phila-
delphia is now in charge of the facto-
ries and as 10 as possible will locate
the supply of blue paper from which
the stamps were printed. The manu-
facturers of cigars are required by law
to furnish an indemnity bond to comply
with the revenue laws, and it is as
sumed that the amount of the bonds re-
quired in these two cases will nearly,
if not entirely, cover the loss the gov
eminent might otherwise have sus-
tanned.
Mr.. Moran, the assistant to Chief
Wilkie of the secret service, has re-
turned from Philadelphia, where he
aided in the arrest of the e~ngravers.
The evidence against all of the parties
under arrest, he says, is overwhelming.
The maximum term of Imprisonment in
such cases is fifteen years under each
Indictment, and in most of the cases he
thinks at least four indictments will
be sustained by the court.

New Yo K, April 20.-A fire broke
out in the hospital Of the penitentiary
on BlackwelIs island this afternoon,
and did damage TO the value of about
$40, 1000. The hospital was located in
the southern end of the penitentiary
and when the flames were discovered,
the convicts in the place were allowed
to pass out onto the island. There
were twelve men and six women in the
hospital at the time, but they were
quickly removed from danger. A
number of convicts and attendants
rushed up into the wards and carried
the patients down to safety. No one
was hurt. The flames were confined
TO the n section of the large building.
