 Cuban soldiers are not looking for char ity from the United States, they said, and General Brooke has no right to ask them to give up their arms as he might if he had conquered the army. The Spanish yolun- teers in Havana still hold their Mausers, they asserted, and the soldiers who fought for independence should be permitted to retire from the field with their arms. By unanimous vote it was resolved to use all means to prevent the soldiers from sur- rendering their arms.
 Tn addition to the manifesto General Rodriguez will send personal letter to the soldiers, asking them not to accept any money.
 General Brooke today approved the Co., meg manifesto, asking the soldiers to dis arm. There are many indications, how ever, that the chiefs will carry their point. All Gomezs political enemies are working with them. The refusal of the soldiers to accept the money and surrender their arms would be a crushing blow to Gomez He is using all efforts to prevent it, but an intl- mate friend of his admits that a majority of the soldiers will return to their homes with their arms and without money.
 "The politicians who are opposing Co., meg say that the general feels his position keenly and thinks he has been treated shamefully by the Cubans, for whom he fought without a thought of recompense.
 Cuban owners of plantations held a meeting tonight and voted to urge Presi- dent Mckinley to approve the land decree originally approved by General Brooke, but afterward changed on the recommendation of Secretary Alger. The planters, as well as their creditors, favor the Lanuza de- cree"

THE DISPUTE @
 OVER ALASKA Officials Admit That Negotiations Have Reached Almost
 Hopeless Stage.

London, May 26.-The foreign office officials confirm the statements made by tho New York correspondent of the Lon- don Times that the negotiations with the Canadian government on the subject of Alaska have reached an almost hopeless stage owing to the insistence of the Canadians that they receive a slice of Alas ka, which apparently precludes any agree- ment being reached on the subject be- tween the American and Canadian high commissioners. The evening newspapers here reproduce the New York dispatch with comment, generally regretting the sit- uatfon. but objecting to the conclusions that Canada is blameable.
 The Globe says:
 ''The Canadians would be far less pa> triotic than they are if they yielded to what they consider to be an unjust and in- defensible demand for the sake of the es- tablishment of more friendly relations with their big neighbors."
 Continuing, the Globe remarks that the Times, "by publishing it's correspondents unjudicial summing up. has adopted the surest way to inflame public opinion on both sides of the Atlantic"
 The Westminster Gazette says:
 "We certainly hope better face can be put on things, so far as we are concerned, but the deadlock seems very serious"
 The St. James Gazette thinks American politics are playing an important part in the situation.
 The Washington correspondent of the Morning Post says:
 'I am informed that the statements rep- resenting that state department officials have reported the Alaskan boundary dis pute as hopeless are absolutely untrue The administration had been exceedingly an- noyed by the attempts to obstruct an agree ment. and hopes no credence will be given to newspaper articles circulating such ru- mors.
 "Both President Mckinley and Secretary Hay hope that Sir Julian Pauncefote will return to Washington with such instruc- tions from Lord Salisbury as will insure the speedy settlement of the matter"

Louisville, Ky, July ia special
10 the Courier-.Iournal. from London,
Ky, tells of a report reaching there of
the outbreak of another feud in Clay
county, by which five men lost their
lives Monday.
The dead are said to be:
Robert Philpot.
Ed Fisher.
Aaron Morris.
Jim Griffin.
Hugh Griffin.
These fatalities resulted from a
Goose creek, three miles from Man
chester.
The feud dates back nearly Two
years. On Christmas, 1897. James Phil
POT was killed by Aaron Morris, but
before he died he shot and killed Will
lam Bunday, a friend of Norris. The
Morrises and Gritfins were closely af.
filiated. Since then the FEELING be.
tween the two factions has been very
bitter, and ii has been aroused recent-
ly by the NhiteBaller hostlities.
The Philpots. who are the strongest
faction in the mountains. numbering
about $50 voters. openly cspoused the
cause of the Bakers. while the G1if-
fins took sides with the Whites.
The story that reaches here is to the
effect that Bob Philpot was arrested
Monday morning by Deputy Wash
Thacker. While very eircumstancial
in other respects, the report does not
show clearly the origin of the trouble
HOT give the reason for philpot's ar
rest. 1t is said that while rhacier was
taking Philpot's bond The latter was
shot from behind by member of Il
crowd that had gathered This pre-
cipitated a general fight with Win
ohesters and revolverS. which WIS
participated in by George Granville.
Robert and Peter Philpot and Ed
Fisher on one side, and Aaron Norris,
Hugh, jim and Green Griffin on the
other.
The battle began at about nine
o'clock and ragged fiercely for ten or
fifteen minutes. When it was over. it
was found that the five men mentions
ed above had been killed outright,
three of the belligerents were serious
~ wounded. while Pete rhilpot was
the only one on either side to escape
injury.
Granville Philpot is said TO be one
of the most seriously wounded. lie is
Il Union veteran, having lost n leg ut
Stone River. He is am ex.mcmber of
the Kentucky Legislature, and is said
tC have killed three or four men.
Ed Fisher who is reported dead,
was another man with several hicks in
his cane. He was but % years old. but
was said to have killed three men.
The situation at Manchester is de-
plorab ble. Since Monday morning the
place has been in state of terror,
scarcely any one daring to venture
out of doors. Business is suspended
and the residents are momcntarily eN.
pccting renewal of hostilitics.
