DISORDER IN CUBA.

An immense Spanish flag, with q
picture of General. Weyler pasted on it,
was borne on Saturday at Havana at
the head of party of fifty Spsniards,
who were on their way to embark for
Spain. AS the party proceeded its
members cried "Viva Espana. Carlos
Crusade and Miguel Atieza, Cubans,
were met by the Spaniards, who tried
to compel them to hurrah for Spain.
This the Cubans refused to do, replying
with shouts of viva Cuba" The
leader of the Spaniards, Vincente Moro,
then attacked Atieza, and was assisted
by his comrades. Atieza was roughly
handled and received a number OF
severe bruises. The police interfered
and arrested Mora, but sent the re-
mainder of the party on board the ship.

A CHASTITY Relic.

New York, June 12.-An important
find which may clear up the mystery
surrounding the headless body picked
up floating off Bay Ridge, Saturday,
was made today. 1t was another sec
ton of the body on which was part OF
the face. The second section was dis
covered this morning at the foot OF
42nd street, and when taken to the
morgue, fitted exactly on the
section found Saturday. The chin
and mouth were mutisted and on the
lip is e sandy moustache of medium
length. The top of the skull, including
the right ear, ia cut of. The left ear is
intact. The right arm is missing, hav-
ing been severed at the shoulder. The
left arm and hand, however, are at
tached. In many ways the mystery
bears 9 resemblance to the celebrated
Guldensuppe case. The police firmly
believe it to be case of murder and
they are actively at work on that
theory.
The right arm wac found in the
channel between Governors Island
and Brooklyn, this afternoon. The
arm had o crucfix and eight stars tat
tooed on it, and at the base of the
thumb was tattooed an anchor. 1t il
now believed the murdered man was a
sailor, that he was killed and cut up Oh

CuRED BY A MAUSER.

dispatch from Manila says: The curious
freaks the Mauser bullet has performed in its
coursings through the systems of fighting
Americans in tho late wars have resulted in
some queer tales. The latest is the expe-
rience Of Private H. E. Redmond, Company
c. First Colorado Volunteer Infantry, who,
when he enlisted, suffered so badly that the
recruiting officer came near leaving him off
the rolls. Private Redmond was wounded in
the battle of Mariquins On March 81. Now
his wound is healed, and he shutters no more.
A Mauser bullet struck him in the face, pass.
ed diagonally downward through his mouth,
and made it's exit near the back of the neck.
1t was considered a frightful wound by the
surgeons, but Redmond proceeded to recover
even faster than patients with less painful
injuries Now all that can be seen Of the
wound is small Iivid spot on the left of the
nose and above the upper lip. Redmond
chews bareback with the greatest zest, and
tails stories he has not been able to finish in
years on account of his hating speech. He
insists that the Mauser bullet carried away
his vocal impsdiment.

SACRIFICED A MAIDEN.

After perilous journey, three miners
arrived at Victoria, B. c., early yester-
day from the gold fields in the partly
explored headwaters of the Stewart
river. The miners bring news of sick
ness and death among the Siwash In.
dams. The fish and game supply had
been inadequate and the Indians died
one by one.
One morning last March the tent OF
the three miners was snatched open as
they sat at breakfast, and in rushed a
swarthy Indian girl who stood before
them and cried bitterly. Before they
had time to consider the cause of inter-
ruption q bowling mob of Siwashes,
headed by a medicine man, rush
ed in and seized the girl. The
miners, unable to save the maiden,
followed as she was carried away
she was taken to the centre of an To-
dian hamlet. After the Indians had
danced around her for a few minutes,
the chief plunged knife into her body
and she fell dead.
The miners learned that the medi
cine man had been asked to make "medi.
cine" for the inroads of starvation and
and send food He called upon the
chief to made sacrifice and the young
girl was chosen as.the victim.
Troops will be sent to arrest the
chief. 1t is probable that relief ex-
petition will also be sent to aid the

THE STATE COMMITTEE.

A poll made of the members of the
State committee confirms the predic-
ton made in Richmond some weeks
ago that this body will, at its meeting
to night, decline to order convention
for the nomination of candidate for
the United States Senate.
There will be big crowd of visitors
to attend the meeting. Nearly every
member will be present and number
of people will come out of curiosity.
Senator Daniel and nearly all the re-
representatives. In congress are expected.
This will be the first time the Martin
and anti.Martin people have been
brought together since the May confer
ence and there will likely be some
sharp cross. firing. Every member of the
SENSATIONAL reform league has been re
quested to attend. The session will be
az open one as both sides favor giving
the widest publicity to the proceedings
1t will be known by Tuesday whether
or not Mr.. Martin will have opposition.
The senatorial reform league commit
lee will meet that day to map out its
plans. In the meantime it will have
been decided whether the Senator
shall be nominated by convention or
by the old method. Of course, it is
known in advance that the convention
proposition will be voted down. The
leaguers are at sea. They realize that
their movement has fallen short OF
their expectations and they hardly
know what to do to let themselves
down lightly. EVERYBODY who was ask
ed to run has declined to do so.

vocating State convention to nomi
nate candidate for the U. S. Senate,

which allows the voters to choose

elect the peoples favorite to the Sen

ACCORDING TO the report of the Ag-
ricultural Department, there is de-
crease of eight per cent. in the condi-
ton of the cotton crop as compared
with that of last years. If this were
true, it would be serious, but all reports
from the department referred to are
now looked upon as dubious, and many
of them, as having been made TO effect
certain purposes. Indeed, it seems as
if every branch of the government, un'
der the benign" influence of unrestrict-
ed suffrage, is conducted in some spe-
cial, and not in the public interest, as
was the case when only those voted
who had some material interest in the

ers themselves, mugwumps IS they

THE JEFFRIEs-F ITzs1MMoNs FIGHT.

THE FFRIES-FITZ5IMMoNs FIGHT.
The division of the spoils of the JEFF
fries Ftzsimmons fight was as follows:
Half of the receipts went to the Coney
Island Sporting Club and half to the
contestants. The amount taken in at
the door was $50, go.
Half of the admission money amount
ed to $40. 635. OF this Fitzsimmons re-
ceived sixty per cent. or S25,5Sl and
Jeffries forty per cent. or ST ,054. The
purse said TO have been offered by the
club was $4,000. In the event of JEFF
fries winning this was to be fully divd-
ed, thereby making Fiizsimmons' total
receipts $35 ISL and Jeflries S27 ,054.
1t is declared that Fitzsimmons would
not make the match until be had been
guaranteed the large end of the purse
and the gate money, owing to his repu
tation and position. Jetfries' manager
accepted 10 per cent for his man, be-
lieving that in the long run such an
amount and decision were worth
more than sixty per cent. and defeat.
